Chapter 731 Why not give it a shot?
When the man in black woke up again, he found that the rope that had been tied to Wan Qiqi was now tied to himself.
He struggled twice, trying to break free of the rope, but Faxiang couldn't muster any strength.
He roared angrily, "Woman, you lied to me!" His eyes were red!
Wan Qiqi stared blankly at the man in black's reddened eyes for a moment, then blinked. "You're an assassin, why do you cry so easily?"
"Who's crying? Don't talk nonsense!" the man in black said angrily, his head hanging down, his voice still trembling with a hint of tears.
Although Wan Qiqi didn't know anything about the assassin, her intuition told her that this person shouldn't be hanging out with those people.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're probably the one with the worst martial arts skills and the youngest among your group, right?"
Wan Qiqi tentatively asked, but the other party ignored her.
Regardless of whether the other party paid attention to her, she continued, "According to you, your lord should be an official in Liangzhou, with considerable power..."
The man in black visibly stiffened upon hearing this.
He looked up and glared fiercely at Wan Qiqi. "You can guess whatever you want. I won't answer you no matter what you say!"
Wan Qiqi chuckled softly, not annoyed at all, and sat down directly in front of the man in black.
"If you won't tell me, then I will!"
She grinned and began talking to herself.
"You are the youngest and the least skilled in martial arts. It must be because things happened so suddenly that your lord couldn't find enough people for the time being, or he wanted you to go along to train!"
“You shouldn’t have been involved in last night’s assassination. After all, with your skills, you should have been injured long ago, but you’re completely clean.”
"Based on what you just said, it can be judged that you come from a poor background and your family is poor. They had no choice but to sell you for money."
“The place you were sold to probably didn’t treat you well either, so you’re very particular about food because you know that only by eating well can you build up your strength to survive.”
"..."
As Wan Qiqi analyzed each point, the man in black stared at her with wide eyes, his gaze filled with shock and fear.
His voice trembled as he asked, "Who...who exactly are you?"
“I am just an ordinary woman, but I have pieced together all the information I know to form a complete story.”
Wan Qiqi tapped her fingers lightly on her knee. "Do you think your companion can survive?"
She abruptly changed the subject, asking a question that left the man in black stunned for a long time.
The man in black hesitated and asked, "Why do you think they won't survive?"
"Do you know who I am?" Wan Qiqi suddenly asked again.
The man in black was completely stunned. "Are you the wife of that clerk in the government office?"
Wan Qiqi nodded. "At the same time, I am also the younger sister of a second-class Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), a disciple of the world-renowned Master Xu, and the daughter of the Prince of Huaibei is my close friend."
"So?" The man in black still didn't quite understand.
"If I go missing, not only will Yunhe County search for me everywhere, but those who want to befriend Old Master Xu and Prince Huaibei will also help me find me, so that these people of status will owe them a favor!"
Wan Qiqi appeared very confident, which aroused suspicion in the man in black.
He had been deceived by Wan Qiqi once and dared not trust her easily again.
However, if what Wan Qiqi said is true, and a thorough investigation is conducted, not only the brothers who went out, but even their own master may lose their lives!
The man in black stared at Wan Qiqi suspiciously. "You think you're that capable?"
"Don't believe me? Forget it, I can't be bothered to argue with you!"
Wan Qiqi stood up, took out the jade whistle hanging around her neck, and blew it.
Three sounds later, a dark figure flashed through the woods and stopped in front of Wan Qiqi.
"Feng Zhi greets Miss Wan!"
After Feng Zhi finished speaking, he looked up at Wan Qiqi and said, "I am relieved that Miss Wan is alright, and I can also give her a good explanation."
The man in black stared blankly at the scene, and couldn't help but ask, "You've been here all this time?"
“Yes, ever since you left the dilapidated house, I have been hiding in the shadows unless Miss Wan gives the order!” Feng Zhi replied.
"Who is your young lady?" the man in black asked again.
“Bai Lingxuan of the Huaibei Prince’s Mansion!” Feng Zhi replied.
Wan Qiqi knew that Feng Zhi's cooperation meant he had probably overheard her conversation with the man in black.
She looked at the man in black with a stern face. "You are still young, and your sword is not even sharpened yet. I suppose you haven't done anything to kill anyone. As long as you come back with me and cooperate, I believe you can regain your freedom!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black's eyes revealed a mixture of expectation and sadness.
"Is that possible? If something happens to him, I won't survive either! Do you know that every one of us has to take poison before going on a mission? If we can't complete the mission and return, we're doomed!"
After the man in black finished speaking, he gave a pale smile.
The last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished, leaving only desolation.
"Mr. Wan, I have no choice!"
Wan Qiqi never expected that the person behind her was so vicious.
This also proves that Tu Yi was persecuted using the same methods.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "You're from Liangzhou, so you should know about the Mu family there. I'm on good terms with Miss Mu, and I can pay her to help you develop an antidote!"
The man in black was taken aback, then shook his head. "They can't develop it. Otherwise, how could we be controlled by him without fighting back?"
"Since you're going to die anyway, why don't you give it a shot?"
Wan Qiqi asked, looking up at the man in black intently, "If we really have the ability to capture our lord, perhaps we can get the antidote from him?"
The man in black finally showed some emotion, a hint of expectation appearing in his eyes. "Really?"
