blue shirt oath

Chapter 218 Rebellion
Uncle Wu and Du Qingshan sat opposite each other in the study room, both of them looked dignified.

Du Qingshan: "No wonder, when you were in Hangzhou, you left without saying goodbye. A few days ago in Liao Xianguan, Xiao Chen said he couldn't see you and Yuan Sheng, so he ran into Wu Hongzhu by chance when he was looking for you. So there was such a reason."

"My lord, Uncle Wu is ashamed."

Du Qingshan waved his hand: "So, Uncle Wu, have you met Wu Qianxing in Kaifeng?"

"That's right." Uncle Wu said, "On the Furong order I received that day, there were only eight words written: 'Zhongyuan, Shangqing watches and kills Du Qi'. I was so shocked that I didn't have time to discuss it with you. , so I went to Kaifeng first.”

"Aqi is really in Kaifeng?"

"Young master is in Wu Qianxing's hands." Uncle Wu looked sad.

Uncle Wu knows Du Qi's weight in Du Qingshan's heart best. On the same day, Wu Qianxing threatened Du Qi's life, asked Uncle Wu to work for him, and secretly monitored Du Qingshan.

Uncle Wu was alone, unable to save Du Qi, so he had to agree to Wu Qianxing's conditions.

However, when he came to Nanyang these few days, he couldn't eat well or sleep well every day. When he thought that Du Qi was still in Wu Qianxing's hands, but he had to work for Wu Qianxing against his conscience and monitor the young master, he felt very guilty.

So he had no choice but to pretend to be stupid about Wu Qianxing's order.

However, the last time I went to Liao Xianguan to see Yuan Sheng, Uncle Wu knew that Yuan Sheng was also from Wu Qianxing, and Yuan Sheng also knew about the deal between Uncle Wu and Wu Qianxing.

"Yuan Sheng approached the young master, I'm afraid he has other plans, the young master should be on guard."

Knowing the whole story, Du Qingshan nodded, "Thank you Uncle Wu for telling the truth, I will pay attention."

He said, Yuan Sheng, a Taoist disciple, is Zhang Tianshi's disciple, why is he wandering around, and he still has a precious sea dongqing in his hand, which turned out to be related to Wu Qianxing.

Wu Qianxing has been operating in secret for so many years, and he even has his power in Shangqingguan. What about the court?
Du Qingshan's heart sank, and he couldn't understand what Wu Qianxing wanted to do.

Wu Hongzhu is worthy of being Wu Qianxing's daughter, both father and daughter are quite ambitious and resourceful.

"Since Ah Qi is in Wu Qianxing's hands, and Wu Qianxing has returned to the capital, then I have to go back even more."

"The young master is very likely to be in Nanyang at the moment." Uncle Wu looked solemn, "Wu Qianxing knew that the young master was in Nanyang, and when he left Beijing for Nanyang, he took the young master with him. I checked secretly, and the young master did not Follow Wu Qianxing and his party back to Beijing."

"Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true." Uncle Wu hesitated, "It's just that I don't know where the people from Furongmen hid the young master."

Ever since he knew that Du Qi was likely to be in Nanyang, Du Qingshan went out early and returned late all day long, not knowing what he was up to.

People from Furongmen no longer go to Zhuyuan all day long to understand the medicine, but Li Cui, after setting up a stall every day, comes to Zhuyuan to eat Song Guichen's meal.

The last time I disliked Song Guichen’s childish cakes, and I was determined not to eat them. Afterwards, Li Cui’s intestines were full of regrets, and he was very obsessed with the few baby dishes that he couldn’t eat, and he wanted to give Song Guichen to him specially. Yuan Sheng, who had finished eating the prepared cakes, harbored great resentment.

He lay on his stomach by the stove, staring helplessly at the steam rising from the steamer, and subconsciously swallowed.

Song Guichen: "Why are you so greedy? Aren't you very proud? You are already nine years old, and you don't eat what a three-year-old would eat, huh?"

Li Cui was serious: "I am obviously still a child."

Song Guichen lifted the lid of the steamer amusedly, put a few pieces of pastries on the plate for Li Cui, and said, "Be careful of the heat."

"Thank you, sister." Li Cui suddenly beamed with joy, rubbed the cute pumpkin duck cake on the plate with chopsticks, and said in surprise: "Sister, can you draw? This little duck is so cute. His paintings must be exquisite."

Song Guichen: "My sister can't draw, but A Cui's paintings are exquisite and exquisite."

In the past few days, every time Li Cui came to the bamboo garden, he would bring Song Guichen one after another a pyrography, which he called, exchanging paintings for food.

Looking at the lifelike paintings of landscapes and figures, Song Guichen really had a feeling in his heart that "talented people come out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years", and cherished the paintings brought by Li Cui very much. .

Li Cui said shyly, "As long as my sister likes it."

Song Guichen smiled softly.

A Cui is still a child after all, so she said that no child would refuse her special baby dishes.

Kou Gong knew that Du Qi might be in Nanyang, so he decided to postpone his entry to Beijing without hesitation.

Simply put, the imperial decree is already in hand, guarding the Yongxing Army is just a vain job far away from the center, and there is no difference between entering Beijing one day earlier and entering Beijing one day later.

Hearing the fact that Wu Qianxing was still alive, Kou Gong was also surprised for a long time, and said: "The head of the former Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is considered a hero of the Jianghu. He has a relationship with the Furongmen of the Jianghu sect. It is not difficult to understand."

But, why did he feign death to hide, and why did he capture Xiao Qi, and kept chasing and killing Xiao Yan?

What did the case of extermination of the Du family a year ago have anything to do with him?
"Men, do you know what background Wu Qianxing has, and why he met my father?"

Du Qingshan asked this question for a reason.

The two families have known each other very well since he was born.

He really couldn't figure out why his father, who was an official of the imperial court, had such a good relationship with Wu Qianxing. The two even called them brothers, and they often drank and sang together.

Kou Gong is in the imperial court, and although the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has contacts with the government, it still has more relationships with people in the Jianghu.

Among the officials and the people, the Escort often presents a contradictory dilemma.

He can neither be loyal to the government with all his heart, nor can he completely regard himself as a Jianghu person.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the people in the government or the people in the Jianghu, they are very afraid of the Escort Bureau. If some Jianghu knight-errants who are noticed by the government go to the city and live in the Escort Bureau, the government will not be able to arrest them.

Therefore, Kou Gong didn't know much about Wu Qianxing.

"When your father was the prime minister of Dali Temple, he had many friendships with the heroes of the Jianghu. I don't know when he and Wu Qianxing met."

That's right, Du Qingshan thought to himself, although my mentor was an official in the same dynasty as my grandfather and father, how could my mentor know about such private matters.

Mr. Kou made a final decision: "Since Xiao Qi is in Nanyang, the old man has no reason to leave him and leave. Although there are not many people in the Jiedu envoy, since we are in Nanyang, this matter can still be done. I Here is an order to find Xiaoqi no matter what."

"Thank you, Master." Du Qingshan bowed his hands and saluted, "It's just that since Wu Qianxing dared to leave Ah Qi in Nanyang, his hiding place must be very hidden. I don't think we can use ordinary methods to find it."

"As you wish?"

Du Qingshan smiled: "The students are going to handle this matter in a quack way."
