Chapter 402 Wu Qiqi is rescued

Meanwhile, in a small cellar in Xiangzhou.

Wu Qiqi's hands and feet were bound with ropes, and she blinked her bright eyes from time to time, showing no awareness of being kidnapped.

In front of her, several burly men were drinking alone with long faces.

"You bastard, how dare you cheat us!"

"Well... we agreed to rob the samurai, so how did we end up offending Wei Shuyu!"

"The entire Xiangzhou is now condemning us..."

The thought of becoming public enemy made their scalps tingle.

They were not afraid of the government or the imperial court.

What I fear most is becoming a public enemy in the underworld!

"Don't be afraid."

"So what if I offended Wei Shuyu? I'm his wife."

"As long as I say a few nice words in his ear, I guarantee you'll be safe and sound!"

Wu Qiqi tried to comfort the group.

Given Wu Qiqi's good behavior as a hostage, the bandits did not gag her.

because……

Wu Qiqi could occasionally offer them a few words of comfort.

"Stop trying to comfort us."

The third leader said with a worried look, "It's precisely because you're his wife that we're afraid."

"If we kidnap Wei Shuyu, what will you do to us?"

Tie up Wei Shuyu?

"Skinning, tendon removal, dismemberment, waist-cutting..."

"Ten times of the Ten Great Tortures of the Tang Dynasty, and then continue to whip the corpse after death!" Wu Qiqi said fiercely through gritted teeth.

Holy crap.

Is it really necessary to be so brutal?

"You...you venomous woman!"

Several people pointed at Wu Qiqi and stammered.

Well……

That damn Choi Shin-ki, he's led me astray again.

Wu Qiqi cursed under her breath.

Then a big smile appeared on his face...

"I'm sorry, I was just joking."

Wu Qiqi explained with a smile, "The Ten Great Tortures of the Tang Dynasty would kill you after just one round, how could they possibly be repeated ten times?"

Great-aunt.

You'd better not explain.

You'd die after just one round, but you insist on doing it ten times.

This is a real venomous snake.

"Do you think if we release you, Wei Shuyu will spare the people of our village?"

"Won't!"

Wu Qiqi said with a serious expression, "Wei Shuyu always has a stern face; he's a cold and ruthless person."

The men trembled as they listened.

Fear filled my heart.

Just then, Wu Qiqi's tone changed...

"But things are different now."

Wu Qiqi smiled broadly: "Because of me."

"As long as I, Madam Wei, plead for you, Wei Shuyu will definitely let you go."

"Then, Madam Wei, could you please plead on my behalf?"

The third leader said miserably, "It doesn't matter whether we brothers live or die, we just hope to save Tiger Stronghold."

"Um……"

Wu Qiqi pondered.

"Mrs. Wei, please help me out."

"Madam Wei, you are the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva."

"Mrs. Wei, you are so beautiful, you must be very kind."

The repeated calls of "Madam Wei" made Wu Qiqi squint her eyes with delight.

"Then I'll put in a good word for you?" Wu Qiqi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Madam Wei."

The group clasped their hands in a fist salute.

"but……"

Wu Qiqi changed the subject: "If you want me to plead for you, you have to have a reason, right?"

"Who ordered you to kidnap me?"

this……

Several people hesitated.

"According to the rules of the underworld, we can't say." The third leader said sternly.

Little did they know, his underworld partners had already betrayed them completely.

"oh."

Wu Qiqi nodded: "According to the Tang law, you are guilty of assassinating a current duke, and your entire family should be executed."

"There are so many people in your village, perhaps it's not necessary to kill them all."

"But because of the shady things you usually do..."

"Men were exiled to the army, and women were made slaves!"

Upon hearing this, the group felt a chill run down their spines.

It would be better to just kill them.

"So? Are you going to tell me or not?"

Wu Qiqi asked with a smile.

"Well... we're not really sure either."

The third leader replied awkwardly, "They gave us 1,500 strings of cash to kidnap you."

"They said there would be 1,500 strings of cash after the matter was settled."

"us……"

have to.

You're tempted.

"Then what did they do after they tied me up?" Wu Qiqi asked.

The third leader shook his head repeatedly.

The rule in the underworld is: don't ask what you shouldn't ask.

The deposit has already been paid, why ask so many questions?

"..."

"Miss Wu, you'll help us, won't you?"

Um?

Wu Qiqi's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.

*Smack*

The thief slapped himself: "Look at my mouth..."

"Madam Wei, you will help us, won't you?"

Um.

Wu Qiqi nodded in satisfaction.

"Let me go!"

The group of people were taken aback.

They quickly untied the ropes binding Wu Qiqi.

Where is my bag?

After stretching her muscles and bones, Wu Qiqi asked.

"Here, here..."

The third leader immediately handed over Wu Qiqi's small backpack.

Wu Qiqi opened the package and found that more than half of the candy was missing. She was immediately unhappy: "You ate some?"

ah?

The third leader's eyes darted around: "I heard that Doctor Wei's candy is the best in the world, so I couldn't resist trying it."

"After trying it, I found that this candy was indeed as rumored, extremely sweet..."

Um?

Praising Wei Shuyu? Then I'll forgive you.

Wu Qiqi slung her small cloth bag over her shoulder: "You should all be glad you realized your mistake in time..."

"If it had been any later, you would all have been beheaded."

The group of people were confused.

Just then, the sound of fighting came from above the cellar...

"Third Master, something terrible has happened."

A bandit rushed in, panicking: "We're surrounded! Soldiers, civilians, and martial arts practitioners—it's a sea of ​​people, as far as the eye can see!"

"What?"

The third leader trembled all over.

They knew they would definitely be found out, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

He couldn't help but look at Wu Qiqi: "Madam Wei..."

Just three words.

It clearly showed a pleading tone.

Don't worry.

Wu Qiqi raised her head: "I am Madam Wei, and even Wei Shuyu has to listen to me."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

The third leader nodded repeatedly.

Leave the cellar.

Sunlight.

Wu Qiqi couldn't help but shield her eyes from the sunlight with her hand.

After being locked up for two days, I still feel a little out of sorts when I suddenly see the sunlight.

However, when she caught a glimpse of Wei Shuyu across from her out of the corner of her eye, her joy instantly turned to happiness…

"Wei Shuyu".

Wu Qiqi ran up there with a clatter.

The men of Fierce Tiger Stronghold tried to stop them, but were driven away by the third leader.

Wu Qiqi only has one hostage.

He was responsible for the lives of two thousand people in the Fierce Tiger Stronghold.

The third leader could still distinguish between what was more important and what was less important.

"Are you alright?" Wei Shuyu patted the other person's head.

"Why are you alright?"

Wu Qiqi immediately turned into a chatterbox: "These past few days I haven't been eating or drinking well, and I've even been tied up with ropes while I sleep."

"Look..."

Wu Qiqi rolled up her sleeves, revealing her wrists covered in red marks: "I've been tied up for two days, and this is how my wrists turned out."

Grandma, can you please stop talking?

I asked you to plead for me, not to kick me while I'm down.

Hearing Wu Qiqi pour out her grievances, the Third Master almost fainted from fright.

"Ren Gui, destroy the Fierce Tiger Stronghold," Wei Shuyu said calmly.

Bang.

Upon hearing this, the third leader immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Please spare my life, Physician Wei!"

"We didn't mean to arrest Madam Wei."

"We were also deceived."

“We have no complaints about Wei Langzhong’s intention to kill us, but please spare the people of Meng Hu Zhai.”

Bang bang bang...

As the third leader knelt down, the rest of the Tiger Stronghold members also laid down their weapons.

One by one, they knelt on the ground.

“Wei Shuyu, actually they…” Wu Qiqi hesitated before continuing.

A glimmer of hope arose in the hearts of the third leader and his men.

What happened to them?

"nothing……"

Wu Qiqi paused, then said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with killing them."

Holy crap.

You didn't just promise us that.

Indeed, women in the world cannot be trusted!

"However, the elderly, women, and children of Fierce Tiger Stronghold are all innocent..."
