Su Xiaoxiao put the swallowtail dart back into her purse and said, "By the way, Guo Huan tried to assassinate my grandfather, isn't he afraid of being exposed?"
Wei Ting thought for a moment and said, "He probably intends to leave no evidence. Although he has the dagger my sixth brother gave him, he can lie and say that the dagger was stolen or that he lost it a long time ago."
Su Xiaoxiao thought it made sense, and asked, "Will he frame Su Li?"
Wei Ting said: "No, he couldn't produce any evidence that Su Li was impersonating him."
Su Xiaoxiao added: "There has been no news about Su Li, I wonder how he is doing."
Wei Ting comforted her, "The Supervisor has already sent someone to inform the Zhenbei Marquisate, and the Su family will go to look for him. And I guess he should not have fallen into the hands of the White Lotus, otherwise the White Lotus would have exchanged him for Captain Chen long ago."
Qin Canglan captured Captain Chen.
The Dali Temple wasted a lot of time and energy, but only managed to capture the protector He, and that was with the assistance of Wei Ting and the Qin family army.
Qin Canglan captured a helmsman alive in one encounter.
As Su Xiaoxiao's understanding of Qin Canglan gradually deepened, she began to truly admire this great general.
I have tasted the deepest suffering in the world and endured the pain of separation from my loved ones.
He has wasted half his life, he shouldn't die here, Guo Huan doesn't deserve it!
"You don't have to worry too much about Su Li. This kid even gives the old marquis a headache. He won't be caught so easily. He is very smart."
It was a rare occasion that Wei Ting praised someone.
Su Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
Wei Ting took her bowl of porridge and said, "Go and have a rest. I'll take care of the rest."
Thinking of something, Wei Ting said, "In fact, it's better to stay in the Imperial Observatory. There will be no White Lotus Sect's infiltration here."
The power of the White Lotus Sect not only infiltrated the Imperial Guard, but also the Dali Temple, and I'm afraid even the imperial palace would not be spared.
According to information collected by the imperial court, the White Lotus Sect had only been developing for a dozen or twenty years, but judging from the sect's huge network of influence, Wei Ting seriously suspected it was much longer than that.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "I still have two questions that I can't figure out. How did Su Li get exposed? And how did the White Lotus Cult track down where Guo Huan was imprisoned?"
Wei Ting said: "For the first question, I think it should be at the Guo family. The specific time of exposure was before going to the temple to pray."
Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "It was exposed so early? Why didn't the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion expose him?"
Wei Ting calmly analyzed, "Because if we reveal it, we will alert the enemy. They are afraid to take action. On the one hand, they don't want us to kill Guo Huan in a hurry to silence him. On the other hand, they also want to buy time to find Guo Huan."
"So how did you find him? Only Yuchi Xiu and Fusu were guarding him. Even I don't know where you imprisoned Guo Huan. Unless——"
Su Xiaoxiao thought of a possibility.
She looked at Wei Ting.
Wei Ting looked calm: "There is a traitor."
"Oh! A fight has started! A fight has started! Someone is fighting outside! Sir Wei! They are your men!"
The chief clerk of the Imperial Observatory called out from outside the house.
He was just a clerk and had very little time on weekdays, but tonight, he experienced all the shocks of half his life in one night.
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao left the Imperial Observatory.
The officials from Jingzhao Prefecture at the door had already left, and the onlookers had also dispersed.
On the bluestone ground washed by heavy rain, Fusu and Yuchi Xiu wrestled with each other.
Both of them were injured.
Fusu was stabbed by Guo Huan in a surprise attack and was seriously injured.
Yuchi Xiu was slightly injured.
In addition, his martial arts skills were superior to Fusu's, so he almost beat Fusu.
Although Fusu was at a disadvantage, he had no intention of begging for mercy. He fought to the death with Yuchi Xiu with the attitude of dying together.
Wei Ting said coldly: "You two, stop it!"
"Whoever stops is a dog!" Fusu kicked Yuchi Xiu.
Wei Ting walked over, separated the two men with one palm, and stood between them.
The two glared at each other angrily, then stopped reluctantly!
"Why did you fight?" Wei Ting asked.
Yuchi Xiu gritted his teeth and said, "He is a traitor! He must have sold the news to the White Lotus Sect!"
Fusu was furious: "You are obviously the traitor! That day when I asked you where you went, you hesitated and couldn't answer! And you told me to shut up! Mind your own business! Tell me the truth! Did you go to inform the White Lotus Sect?"
Yuchi Xiu said, "Fuck you! I'm going hunting! If I don't hunt, what will you eat? Drink the west wind! What about you? Where have you been for so long?"
Fusu said, "I'm back at the Wei family! You know I have to go back every month! I told you! The young master knows it too!"
Fusu was a secret guard arranged by Lady Wei to be beside Wei Ting, and he had to report Wei Ting's situation to Lady Wei every month.
It's not necessary to say that she is under surveillance. The main reason is that Old Lady Wei has lost her son and so many grandchildren, so she can no longer take it lightly.
Wei Ting asked, "When you returned to the Wei family, did you tell anyone about Guo Huan?"
"No, young master!" Fusu said aggrievedly, "Since I followed you, I have told you half of your affairs and kept the other half to myself. You didn't let me leak any information about Guo Huan, so I didn't tell the old lady a word."
Wei Ting said seriously, "You two are the only ones who took Guo Huan there, unless Guo Huan leaked the information himself, but this possibility is very low."
Yuchi Xiu glared at Fusu coldly and said meaningfully: "So, there must be a traitor between us two!"
Fusu straightened his back and retorted without showing any weakness: "You are right!"
Su Xiaoxiao came over.
She looked at Yuchi Xiu and then at Fusu.
Finally stopped in front of Fusu.
"Miss Su, why are you looking at me like that?" Fusu asked.
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at his robe and said, "Take it off."
"What?" Fusu suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Yuchi Xiu took a quick step forward, took off his outer robe and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
Fusu was furious: "Yuchi Xiu, you are crazy!"
Su Xiaoxiao touched her clothes, nothing.
Her eyes fell on Fusu's belt, and she quickly pulled off the sachet hanging on it.
She opened it and smelled it.
Wei Ting said: "Is there a problem with the sachet?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's a mosquito repellent fragrance mixed with aphrodisiac incense. If you take a large amount of this aphrodisiac incense, it will gradually paralyze your senses."
Fusu looked at Yuchi Xiu and snorted, "No wonder I can't beat you!"
Yuchi Xiu said bluntly: "Stop pretending to be stupid like a daffodil that doesn't bloom!"
Fusu said angrily: "I'm not pretending!"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "It will only work if you take a lot. Wearing it won't have that effect. However, this fragrance stays in the air for a long time, making it easy to track. Who gave you this sachet?"
Fusu paused for a moment, then said in a daze, "Old Lady Wei."
Actually, I think the first update is less laggy, but you guys are all asking for faster updates... so I'll put it up here.
I'll also give a heart shape on my head.
