Chapter 140 Qi Yunpei Appears at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion
The village chief and Gao Xiu, contrary to their previous arrogance, knelt down and begged for mercy from Qi Yunshen and Jiang Yunzheng.
Gao Xiu knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, "Miss Jiang... Madam Qi, please forgive us for saving you and my brother."
Qi An had already brought Gao Zhu and Gao Chen down from the village chief's house.
The officers and soldiers brought by the Governor of Victoria searched every household in the village and found a lot of jewelry, which were probably all from the abducted girls.
A rough estimate showed that there were about twenty or thirty girls who had been slaughtered in the village before.
In addition, a lot of human bones were found in a large pit in the back mountain.
Xie Xuan also went to the pit to take a look.
If Qi Yunshen and Jiang Yunzheng had arrived a little later, perhaps she would have become one of them in the end.
The governor of Weizhou asked Qi Yunshen to go to Yin County with him to try the case.
As for the pregnant women in the village, they were also invited to Yin County, and the old woman who was the key witness in the case also left.
The Governor of Victoria brought several carriages with him.
Before setting off, Qi Yunshen naturally boarded Jiang Yunzheng's carriage. Qi An was pulling a horse outside, and he didn't know whether to leave or stay.
Don’t all masters ride horses?
Qi Yunshen glanced at Qi An indifferently.
Qi An suddenly remembered that when he was at the foot of the cliff, his master looked at him with the same look!
An answer was about to come out and lingered in Qi An's mind. Could Doctor Jiang be the future wife of the Crown Prince?
In the carriage, Jiang Yunzheng couldn't help but glance at Qi Yunshen and said softly, "Go ride a horse."
That's too ostentatious.
Qi Yunshen didn't respond. He looked at Jiang Yunzheng deeply before stepping out and getting on his horse.
Xie Xuan got on Jiang Yunzheng's carriage.
Along the way, Xie Xuan told the truth about her kidnapping.
She had come to the capital to look for her relatives. When she passed by Yin County, Weizhou, she wanted to go see a lantern festival in Yin County, but she got separated from her servants. When she woke up again, she was already in the village.
All her money was confiscated by Gao Xiu. After being locked up in the village for a few days, Gao Xiu and the village chief invited the village gods to calculate a good day for the wedding.
-
At the same time, a thin figure was picking up firewood in the forest behind Baiyun Temple.
He was wearing a Taoist robe that had been washed white, his face was thin and pale, and his calm eyes were emotionless.
Suddenly a sound came from behind him and Qi Yunpei turned around.
A dozen men in black appeared behind him.
Qi Yunpei took a look and saw that the swords these people were wearing were from Xixia.
"Master Qi, I haven't seen you for several years. Are you just going to sit here in the mountains chopping wood and bury your martial arts skills?"
"Prince Gaoyang's spies are now all over the Xixia court. Our Highness is the legitimate heir of Xixia. If Master Qi can stand on our side, there is no need to worry about the success of our great cause."
"Master Qi has been abused by Prince Gaoyang and the Saintess of Xixia for years, and is he willing to watch Prince Gaoyang rise to power? Prince Gaoyang is now holding the Queen Mother hostage, and his only demand is to bring back the Saintess of Xixia. If Master Qi is interested, we can cooperate."
Qi Yunpei looked at him mockingly: "You want me to take Xiao Qinyu back?"
The Xixia spy shook his head. "We have our own way with the Xixia Saint. We only need Master Qi to be our insider and together we can overthrow Prince Gaoyang and the Second Prince. When His Highness ascends the throne, Master Qi will be the primary contributor."
Qi Yunpei suddenly sneered: "I don't have that mindset right now, you guys can go."
Seeing that the negotiations failed, these Western Xia spies became angry and attacked Qi Yunpei.
Qi Yunpei used a tree branch as a sword, but the enemy outnumbered him and bloodstains appeared on his body.
These Xixia people were just venting their anger and would not really take Qi Yunpei's life. They left a message: "Please consider it carefully, Mr. Qi."
Qi Yunpei didn't want to say more.
After everyone left, Qi Yunpei picked up the firewood on the ground, put it in his backpack and went down the mountain.
But just as he was going down the mountain, he saw a dead figure lying on the ground in front of him.
That is the little Taoist boy from Baiyun Temple.
Qi Yunpei's eyes turned dark, he was looking for death.
He held the little Taoist boy in his arms and returned to Baiyun Temple.
Today, the Taoist priest from Pingyang went down the mountain to treat the villagers and was not in the temple.
Qi Yunpei put the firewood in the backpack away, placed the little Taoist boy at the entrance of the Sanqing Temple, and changed his clothes and left the Taoist temple.
The incident at the Xishan camp caused a lot of uproar, but Qi Yunshen has not been found yet.
The atmosphere in the imperial study was tense.
Emperor Jingming threw all the memorials in Prince Yu's face. The emperor's eyes were as clear as fire as he stared at Prince Yu coldly: "If Qi Yunshen doesn't come back, all those involved will be sentenced to death."
King Yu was sweating all over.
That day, the prince was escorted back to the camp by everyone. There was a strong earthquake around the camp and a large area of the cliff collapsed. The prince was hit by flying rocks. I am afraid that his right hand will not be able to lift heavy objects in the future.
There was silence in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
The eldest princess looked much more haggard these past two days. Even the master of the second house and his wife Zhao had worried expressions on their faces. Qi Yunzhou even put away his usual playful attitude.
Qi Yanyu didn't even have the mood to go out and play, and stayed with Qi Zhenzhen all day.
Qi Zhenzhen looked at his aunt with a childish face, "Why hasn't my father come back yet? Has he gone out to fight again?
Qi Yanyu smiled bitterly, and tried to bend her lips and said, "Your father has some errands to run these next two days, and he will be home when he is done."
Qi Zhenzhen said "oh", her little face full of disappointment.
Qi Zhenzhen said she wanted to go back to Zhining Courtyard and wait, in case her father came back later and she didn’t know.
Qi Yanyu personally sent her back, and the aunt and niece held hands on the way.
But at this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front.
Qi Yanyu shouted, "There's an assassin!"
Qi Yunpei heard the noise, stopped, and turned to look at Qi Yanyu and Qi Zhenzhen.
Qi Yanyu was shocked and subconsciously said, "Brother, what's wrong with your face?"
Qi Yanyu soon realized that something was wrong. This person's figure and face were very similar to his eldest brother, but his temperament was completely different.
By the time she realized it, it was too late.
Qi Zhenzhen rushed towards Qi Yunpei like a firecracker. Qi Zhenzhen hugged Qi Yunpei's thigh and looked at his scarred face and cried, "Daddy, what should I do if you become ugly?"
Qi Yunpei looked at the little thing at his feet very stiffly.
Qi Yanyu stood there in a daze.
She didn't know who this person was, or was someone pretending to be Qi Yunshen?
Qi Yanyu began to sweat all over and immediately shouted, "Hurry up, there's a thief in the house!"
Qi Yunpei looked at Qi Yanyu deeply.
He raised his hand again and wanted to touch Qi Zhenzhen's head.
Qi Yanyu yelled, "If you hurt my niece, I will never let you go!"
Soon the secret guards from the mansion arrived.
Qi Yunpei pushed Qi Zhenzhen away, turned around and rushed out of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
This farce soon alarmed Princess Yude.
The eldest princess' heart skipped a beat when she heard the servant's report.
How did he get out of Baiyun Temple?
When Qi Yunshen captured the Western Xia Saint and Qi Yunpei, no one could have imagined that the person who killed Xu Jingyang was the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo who had been missing for many years and the younger brother that Qi Yunshen had been looking for for many years.
In a rage, Qi Yunshen beat Qi Yunpei severely and severed the tendons in his hands and feet. Just as he was about to kill him, Duke Zhenguo and Princess Yude arrived.
The eldest princess threatened to die and demanded that Qi Yunpei be spared.
The Duke of Zhenguo and his wife sent Qi Yunpei to Baiyun Temple.
The princess said to Qi Yunshen, "We are the ones who owe your second brother a debt. If he hadn't been captured by the Xixia people, none of this would have happened. Yan Hui, will you please forgive your brother? He will spend the rest of his life atonement for his sins."
Later, Qi Yunpei was sent to Baiyun Temple and treated by Taoist Priest Pingyang.
The eldest princess will go to Baiyun to see him.
Taoist Priest Pingyang in Baiyun Temple is highly skilled in martial arts, and there are secret guards guarding the Baiyun Temple. How did Qi Yunpei get out?
The eldest princess immediately sent someone to capture Qi Yunpei.
These two sons are more scheming than each other.
The eldest princess closed her eyes and gripped the edge of the table.
