Pushing back the timeline, when Qin Feng was still at the banquet, Wei Xi woke up on the hard, dry mud.
Wei Xi's shoulders and neck still hurt. Her face was pressed to the ground, her hands were tied behind her back, and she couldn't move her feet. Wei Xi, who fell to the ground, couldn't see her feet, and with her limited vision, she couldn't see the whole room.
This time it was really a boat capsized in the gutter. Wei Xi felt it. His feet were still there, so they must have been tied up.
Wei Xi, who breathed a sigh of relief, tried to lift her upper body like a seal. Only then did she see that she was locked in a warehouse where debris was stored. There were no lights in the room, and she could only see the irregular outlines of those things.
Wei Xi tried hard to move his lower limbs and coordinate all the muscles in his body to turn over. It took a lot of effort and he ate a mouthful of dust. Wei Xi, who was tired and sweating, struggled for a while like a fish that had been caught on the beach, feeling exhausted and reliving old dreams on the muddy ground.
After taking a few breaths, Wei Xi changed her position and gave up the idea of lifting her upper body to turn over. She tried to stand upright twice and finally turned to the front. Using her hands tied behind her back for support, Wei Xi sat up. She leaned against the unknown debris on the side, found a sharp place and started grinding the rope.
With his hands free, Wei Xi quickly untied the rope around his feet, and then touched the lapel of his clothes. Lingyin lay on the Qiankun bag and pretended to be dead. It seemed that the person who knocked him unconscious did not search him.
There was a fire seal and a dagger in the Qiankun bag. Through the not-so-bright light, Wei Xi could see clearly that this was indeed a warehouse where no one came. There was a lot of dust on the surrounding debris and on the ground.
Seeing the drag marks on the ground, Wei Xi thought that this person had brought him to clean the house, so he dragged himself in. There were no shoe marks on the ground, they were all covered up.
Wei Xi touched his shoulder and neck. This man struck so quickly that Wei Xi was knocked unconscious before he could resist. He seemed to be a veteran. I just don't know why I knocked Wei Xi unconscious and locked myself in such a utility room.
After all, if the county government officials could have thrown Wei Xi into the gloomy dungeon that Lian Gou Ni talked about, and locked up ferocious beasts that had been hungry for several days, in short, there would be a place where people could be judged and imprisoned. If not, there would be Sun. A small courtyard with high walls like that should not be a warehouse.
Thinking about it this way, the person who knocked him unconscious must not be in the same group as the county magistrate, or he may have his own agenda.
After regaining some sense of control, Wei Xi took a deep breath, touched Lingyin comfortingly, and clutched the dagger to find a way out.
Wei Xi didn't know how long he had been unconscious. Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi were still waiting for him. He must not be trapped here.
Before the fire went out, Wei Xi found the door and was ready to give a dagger to anyone who might be outside. Wei Xi opened the door.
There was no one outside, only a moon hanging in the sky, waiting for the night fog in Tangkou Town to cover the sky's attention.
But I was able to see something clearly, and it turned out that this was a warehouse, and I was locked in a side room before.
When the situation changes, Wei Xi can only act accordingly. She is not sure whether she will meet any guards guarding the warehouse when she goes out. After all, she is not Qin Feng, Lian Gouyi, or a mysterious person who likes to donate others' generosity to clean the house. It is difficult for her to do so. Leave here quietly.
Besides, it was too late to find the Hu people now, and it was unrealistic to make peace with Qin Feng as planned.
Wei Xi chose to take the initiative to open up the situation.
In layman's terms, Wei Xi, who was stunned and filled with anger, was about to fight back.
Wei Xi went back to the utility room and dug out half a jar of wine that smelled bad. He gathered some rags together, poured the wine on the cloth, and placed it near flammable things.
After finishing the preparations, Wei Xi showed off the arson technique. Before, Zhao Dazui curiously asked her why she didn't practice the aggressive fireball.
Wei Xi didn't speak at the time, but now she wanted to answer with actions.
Five or six clusters of flames fell on the combustibles prepared by Wei Xi. The wine may have been thrown away in the utility room because of its bad taste and strong taste, but it was really good at fueling the fire.
As soon as it reached the edge, the flames turned into tongues of flame, and the fire spread out. Master Wei took a satisfied look at his masterpiece and prepared to climb up the wall to leave the place.
Soon the people from the county government yelled when they saw the fire. Qin Feng, who was still looking for Wei Xi outside, and Lian Gou Ni, who was still pretending to be crazy and stupid in the hall, thought without surprise: How can this aunt be so big?
Wei Xi's idea is quite simple. Since I can't sneak in tonight, I will lure you all here.
After all, if there is a fire, no matter who you are, the barbarian, the county magistrate, or the person who knocked yourself unconscious, you will fly out like a bee that was stabbed in its nest?
By the way, he can also tell Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi that he is here.
Wei Xi heard the shouts and the increasingly noisy sounds, took out the flying claws that had not been confiscated and left the warehouse.
Paying attention to the movements and figures around her, Wei XZ hid her figure. She hoped that the barbarians would also be driven out by the fire, so she could fish in troubled waters and see if she could find out some information.
Soldiers, guards, and servants from the county government came to put out the fire with buckets, wooden basins, and other things that could be used to hold water.
Wei Xi hadn't noticed any barbarians yet, but at this moment she realized something was wrong: there was a fire in the county government office, why didn't any townspeople come to help put out the fire?
Thinking of this, Wei Xi rubbed her eyes, but she didn't see any townspeople coming to help put out the fire.
The county government office is located in the center of Tangkou Town. How could you not see the flames soaring into the sky at night? Furthermore, Wei Xi remembered clearly that there were some alleys around, so why didn't anyone come in?
Wei Xi, who was close to the fire scene, was filled with questions. Due to the high temperature, the air around her was scorching hot, and the humid night fog had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge and lurk on the edge of the fire.
Fortunately, Qin Feng appeared in Wei Xi's field of vision at this time.
Wei Xi called out his spiritual voice and asked him to fly over to find Qin Feng. Only then did Qin Feng see Wei Xi hiding in the shadow behind the tree. It was obscured by the tree and the night, so it was difficult to see that there were a pair of eyes hidden there.
There was a mess nearby, and Qin Feng, who knew the location, easily found Wei Xi's hiding place.
When he got closer, he saw that Wei Xi's face and clothes were all dirty, and he could smell a smell of alcohol.
Now Qin Feng was sure that Wei Xifang was responsible for this job.
I just don't know how Wei Xi got himself into this state.
Wei Xi asked Qin Feng in a low voice, "Are you hooking someone with a hook?"
"When I came out to find you, he stayed inside and was dealing with Cheng Xiancheng and the others. He should be safe now, but I don't know if he could guess that you started the fire." The three of Wei and Xi decided to arrive at the latest You have to withdraw at three o'clock in the morning, don't be reluctant to fight, this is the agreement, you don't have to worry too much about Lian Gouluo's safety.
"Why are you still here?" Qin Feng asked.
Wei Xi told her not to miss the opportunity, taking advantage of the fire to see if there were any barbarians among the people who came out. After tonight, it would be impossible to enter the county government office again.
Upon hearing that Wei Xi had not given up on inquiring about the Hu people, Qin Feng cheered up and went with her to find familiar faces.
We did find two barbarians in the crowd, but they were not the one who was talking to Cheng County Cheng Ye, but the two inconspicuous ones in the team.
