Zhou Qingfeng arrived at the Dragon King Temple outside of Fu Shun City. He felt refreshed and took his lucky item. Then, he ran away in a panic. Just because he released a complete version of the 'Lightning Strike Spell', if he didn't run away, people from all over the country would come to pay their respects to the 'River Dragon King'.
"How foolish. I just released a lightning strike, and they want to come and kowtow to me. I can't take it, okay? "Zhou Qingfeng ran out of the back door of the Dragon King Temple and strode back to the city. Now that he got a top-grade Eastern Pearl, he felt refreshed and in high spirits. He didn't care about those foolish people anymore.
A 'Dragon King' appeared and released lightning in anger. To appease the Dragon King, Temple Attendant Zhao was thrown into the Muddy River to 'worship the Dragon King', just like his predecessor. The group that went to attack the Dragon King Temple had also dispersed. The two small leaders were thrown into the Dragon King Temple by Zhou Qingfeng to deal with the aftermath. As for how to deal with the aftermath, he didn't care. He just let them do what they wanted.
When he left, the two small leaders respectfully handed over all the valuables they had plundered. Zhou Qingfeng only took the gold ingots and Eastern Pearls, which were convenient to carry. The rest were divided among the people. Although he could immediately gather a group of people and build a base if he agreed. But to build a base in Fu Shun in 1615, there must be something wrong with his brain.
However, the effect of releasing a normal 'Lightning Strike Spell' was excellent. On the way out of the Dragon King Temple, not only was Zhou Qingfeng in a good mood, but Wang Kunpeng also regarded himself as a loyal follower of the First Head Master. He arrogantly followed behind them. Yang Wei, who helped Zhou Qingfeng make a name for himself, was released after he was untied. However, he couldn't become a pawn for the 'Great Master', so he was so sad that he shed tears.
However, just as Zhou Qingfeng was about to go home, a group of uninvited guests came to his house. The woman surnamed Yuan, who once wanted to kill him with a sword, was among them. However, this once arrogant woman could only stand in the crowd and keep a low profile.
Although this group of people were dressed like ordinary people, they were very imposing. Carriages and horses arrived ostentatiously. There were even some foreigners with sabers slung on their waists who arrived ahead of time. They shouted, 'East Faction Guards on business, idlers leave', and the entire street was cleared in a matter of minutes.
The leader was a man with a white face and no beard. He was wide and fat, and when he opened his mouth, he had a croaky voice. One look and you could tell that he was a eunuch. Before these people arrived, dozens of embroidered clothed cavalrymen wearing flying fish robes had hurriedly surrounded the house.
"Is this it?" The white-faced eunuch was about forty years old. He walked to the front of the courtyard and looked around. "Is that evil thief Gu Yuanwei inside?" he asked to his left and right.
A foreigner came out from the line and apologized, "Please forgive me, Gong-gong Ma. This subordinate heard the news yesterday and rushed here from Shenyang overnight. Thinking that the Gu Bandit's sorcery is profound and he is exceptionally vigilant, he didn't dare to make any inquiries and could only deploy troops and horses from Fushun Qianhu this morning to surround this street. It's just that we are not familiar with Fushun, so we couldn't find Gu Yuanwei after searching. "
Hmph … The white-faced eunuch had an unhappy expression. "You are all afraid of Gu Yuanwei, afraid that you will be killed if you meet him. I still hope that you will be loyal to the country and share His Majesty's burden. But now that we have been arrested for two months, we haven't even seen a strand of Gu Yuanwei's hair. How am I going to explain this to His Majesty? "
The white-faced eunuch's cold snort caused a sound wave to resound in the air. The foreigners were scared out of their wits. They all knelt down and begged for more time. The white-faced eunuch looked at the crowd that followed them and asked the girl surnamed Yuan, "Miss Yuan, I heard that you fought with Gu Yuanwei several times and even seriously injured him. Why didn't you catch him?"
The girl surnamed Yuan could only lower her head and say, "This girl's martial arts are not good and I was careless. Although I fought with him several times, I let Gu Yuanwei escape several times. I failed to share His Majesty's burden, please punish me. "
After she said this, a middle-aged man blocked in front of the girl surnamed Yuan and said to the white-faced eunuch with a smile, "Ma gonggong, please understand. My disciple has only been out of school for a few years, it's natural for her to be careless. It's also my fault that I was drunk last time and was fooled by Gu Yuanwei. It's my fault, my fault. "
The person who spoke to mediate was wearing the uniform of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. It was obvious that his status was not low. He cheerfully took all the blame and didn't have any of the Embroidered Uniform Guards' killing intent. Ma gonggong seemed to be helpless against this person. He could only wave his sleeves and walk into Zhou Qingfeng's temporary residence and walk around.
Gu Yuanwei and Yang Jian were not at home. Zhou Qingfeng had led a group of people to rob houses early in the morning. The white-faced eunuch casually walked around several rooms. He suddenly frowned and asked, "Who lives in the west room?"
No one could answer this question.
The white-faced eunuch continued, "Not long after Gu Yuanwei settled in Fushun, the foreigners reported that he was making friends with local cultivators and looking for good doctors and elixirs. He must have been hit by Miss Yuan's' Red Lotus Fire '. At this moment, his meridians are frozen and his power is declining. Now is the best time to catch him. Otherwise, if he escapes to those Jurchen barbarians, it will be beyond our reach.
But Gu Yuanwei only has two people, so he should live in the master bedroom on the east side. But the room on the west side is also fully furnished. Who lives there? Does he have someone else with him? "
The group of people immediately turned to look at the girl surnamed Yuan, but she said obediently, "I've fought with Gu Yuanwei and his disciple many times. At least before coming to Fushun, I didn't see anyone else with them. Maybe they're servants they hired to live here. "
Her words seemed to make sense, but the white-faced eunuch flatly denied it. "Otherwise, it's definitely not a servant. The bedding in the west side room is all new and of good quality. Who would treat a servant so well? And the bedding is short, obviously prepared for a child, about eight or nine years old. Haven't you seen it before? "
"No." The girl surnamed Yuan still denied it.
But the East Faction foreigner stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Ma, we asked some people in Fushun who have met Gu Yuanwei. There is indeed an eight or nine year old child with him. It seems to be Gu Yuanwei's new disciple. "
This was even more puzzling. The white-faced eunuch asked doubtfully, "Gu Yuanwei fled from the capital to Liaodong like a stray dog. Our East Faction and the Brocade Guard are chasing him. How can he still have the mood to accept a disciple? What's the origin of this disciple? "
No one could answer this question. The white-faced eunuch looked at the girl surnamed Yuan and asked, "Miss Yuan, you've been chasing Gu Yuanwei recently. Haven't you noticed anything unusual about him? Did the new disciple with him suddenly appear when he just arrived in Fushun? "
The white-faced eunuch's questions made everyone feel a little strange. But the girl surnamed Yuan still insisted that she had not seen any 'new disciple'. If there was, she had not seen him.
This affirmative answer made the white-faced eunuch a little angry. Suddenly, he smiled lightly and said, "Usually when I interrogate my subordinates like this, whether there is or not, my subordinates will express their uncertainty in fear and trepidation. They never dare to say anything definite, lest it is hard to explain if there is a mistake. But when I was dealing with those tough bones in the imperial prison, those guys who won't shed tears until they see the coffin would say 'no'. "
These words were cold and gloomy, causing people to tremble with fear.
The girl surnamed Yuan's master could only come out again to smooth things over. "Oh, Eunuch Ma, don't be so angry. My disciple is a girl and has always been obedient and clever. She doesn't have any cunning thoughts. If she says' no ', then she really means' no '. She really doesn't. "
The white-faced eunuch laughed a few times and looked at the girl surnamed Yuan's master. "I say, Old Xiao, with your relationship with the Imperial Concubine in the palace, I naturally trust you. I have always taken good care of this disciple of yours. This is also a way for her to train her courage. Hahaha …! "
Everyone laughed along with him. The Cloud of Doubt storm was temporarily over, and no one brought up this matter again. The white-faced eunuch walked out of the courtyard and ordered the foreigners who were with him, "That thief Gu Yuanwei seems to have gotten the news and ran away. But leave a few people here. Maybe we can catch some small fish."
"Yes, Eunuch Ma." A few foreigners obeyed and stayed. The others followed the white-faced eunuch and left in the carriages.
Just as the group of people boarded their carriages and rode their horses, Zhou Qingfeng just happened to enter the city. He let Wang Kunpeng go back by himself while he turned a corner and walked towards his own house. He was in high spirits along the way, and he had a silly smile on his face. But when he was about 20 meters away from his house, he suddenly saw a pretty girl dressed in black standing at the intersection.
When Zhou Qingfeng raised his head, his silly expression immediately froze. His heart was about to jump out of his throat … Damn you, why is this female devil here? This woman is fierce and evil. Even if I get my hands on a high quality Eastern Pearl, I won't be able to beat her.
The girl was about to mount her horse when she turned her head and saw the eight year old Zhou Qingfeng staring at her in a daze. Although his physique was very different from the last time she saw him, Zhou Qingfeng's face had not changed much. After thinking about Zhou Qingfeng's background, the girl immediately focused her gaze on him. She was sure that he was Gu Yuanwei's new disciple from 400 years in the future.
The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds. The girl's pretty face was frosty, but she did not make a move. She only looked at him coldly with killing intent. And Zhou Qingfeng was like a mouse that had encountered a snake. He maintained a scared expression and did not dare to move.
At this time, a figure rushed out from an alley beside Zhou Qingfeng and quickly pulled him in. When the girl saw Zhou Qingfeng run away, she closed her eyes and seemed to let out a sigh of relief. She pretended that she did not see what had just happened.
However, her strange behavior attracted her master's attention. The middle-aged man wearing a flying fish robe quietly walked over and looked at the alley where Zhou Qingfeng had disappeared. He asked, "Disciple, what happened?"
"Nothing, I just saw a small dog running through the alley," the woman with the surname Yuan replied coldly.
The middle-aged man looked around and asked in a low voice, "Disciple, I don't know you? You must be hiding something, right? It's fine if you don't tell that demon Ma Keshi, but can't you tell me? "
The girl had no intention of revealing the secret. She continued to say coldly, "Master, it's better if you don't know anything."
"Hey … You stupid girl, is this the tone you use to talk to your master?" The middle-aged man was furious.
But the girl did not move and continued to say, "Master, can you resist the Soul Searching Technique?"
"No." The middle-aged man was very calm.
"Do you know what people call you behind your back?"
"The number one idiot of the Imperial Secret Service, Liu Fucheng."
The girl finally could not help but roll her eyes, "Master, since you know yourself, why are you asking so many questions? You can't keep any secrets with that mouth of yours. It's better to know less so that you don't cause trouble for me. If there's anything, let me solve it myself. Even if something big happens, you can get away easily. Just say that you don't know anything. "
After saying that, the woman surnamed Yuan mounted the horse, waved the reins, and rode away. The middle-aged man was left scratching his head in anger. After being angry, he laughed and didn't care. In the alley just now, Zhou Qingfeng still had a terrified expression on his face until Yang Jian, who had pulled him in, patted his head and asked, "Junior Brother, are you alright?"
That cold and fierce woman did not draw her sword and attack him. Last time, she killed someone without saying a word. She even said that she would kill on sight. I … I'm actually still alive. It's as if the sun rose from the west. "Zhou Qingfeng was already a little incoherent.
But Yang Jian didn't care about this. He grabbed Zhou Qingfeng's shoulder and shook it, saying with a sobbing tone, "Junior Brother, we're in trouble."
"Is there anything more troublesome than meeting that evil woman?"
"Master has fainted due to his illness. Maybe … sob sob sob!"
Seeing that Yang Jian was crying, Zhou Qingfeng turned pale with fright — F * ck, Gu, don't die yet. Even if you want to die, at least take away the unmatched true essence in my body before you die! Otherwise, wouldn't I have no hope for my entire life?!
