Qi Ning carried Xiang Tianbei on his back and went straight to the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch of the Beggar Clan in the capital. Several Beggar Clan disciples under the wall immediately stood up. One of them was Liu Qingzhou, a Beggar Clan disciple. He recognized Qi Ning and quickly stepped forward. Knock on the door.
When the epidemic spread in the capital, many disciples of the Beggar Clan were infected with the epidemic. Liu Qingzhou was one of them. Later, Qi Ning helped these people escape from death. Therefore, Liu Qingzhou was very grateful to Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning. Ning came in a hurry with someone on his back, knowing that the matter was not trivial.
The courtyard door opened, Qi Ning quickly entered, and the black door quickly closed again. Liu Qingzhou ordered the disciples around him: "Hurry up and notify the brothers around you. Keep a close watch. If anyone approaches here, report it immediately."
In the capital, the Shenhou Mansion naturally has many informants, but when it comes to who has the most eyes and ears in the world and is the best informed, there is no one other than the Beggar Clan.
Not many people know about the location of the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch of the Beggar Clan, but the people in the Shenhou Mansion naturally know it. But even if the people from the Shenhou Mansion want to approach the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch quietly, that will be difficult. Hardly possible.
Within a few miles around the sub-rudder, it seems calm, but there are eyes of the Beggar Clan in countless places. As long as you step into the sphere of influence of the Beggar Clan, the Beggars Clan sub-rudder will receive news instantly.
When Qi Ning entered Luogu Alley with Xiang Tianbei on his back, the news had already been received in the Black Gate Mansion. After Qi Ning entered, Elder Suzaku and Bai Shenghao, the leader of the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch, were already waiting in the courtyard.
Bai Shenghao was the first to come up to him, and he could see what was going on at a glance. He waved his hand and ordered: "Hurry up and carry it into the house." He immediately grabbed a few Beggar Clan disciples, carefully put down Xiang Tianbei from Qining's back, and quickly lifted it up to carry him to the house. Tianbei's face was as white as paper at this time, his breath was weak, his eyes seemed to be open, and his mind seemed to be blurred. Several disciples carefully carried Xiang Tianbei into the room. Elder Suzaku had already come up and said: "Sir, what happened? "When he saw Qin Ning's clothes covered in blood and carrying a dying man on his back, he knew that something was unusual.
Qi Ning didn't have time to explain and asked directly: "How is the situation over there?"
Bai Shenghao said hurriedly: "Sir, Miss Chi and we followed the plan and successfully rescued them all with the map we obtained in advance. Except for Mrs. Tian who was frightened and Miss Tang is taking care of her for the time being, everything is fine with the three ladies."
Hearing this, Qi Ning's brows showed a look of joy and said, "Is Miss Tang already here? That's great. Captain Bai, hurry up and invite Miss Tang, and say there are injured people here. I need her help." As they spoke, several people surrounded Qi Ning and entered the house, then turned to a room. At this time, Xiang Tianbei had been placed on a simple wooden board, and he was lying on it motionless. If not There is also a faint breath, which almost makes people think that he is dead.
"Sir, who is this...?" Elder Zhuque naturally did not know Xiang Tianbei. Seeing Xiang Tianbei's serious situation, he asked softly.
Qi Ning did not hide anything and said softly: "He is the emperor's personal swordsman."
"I see." Elder Zhuque glanced at the sword hanging on Xiang Tianbei's waist and said nothing more.
Not long after, I saw a Beggar Clan disciple entering the room and saying, "Miss Tang is here."
Qi Ning hurriedly turned around to look, and saw Tang Nuo in plain clothes coming in from the door, carrying the small medicine box that he never left behind. Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking that Tang Nuo had just left the prison in Kyoto Prefecture. When he came out, could it be that when he was imprisoned, Tang Nuo actually brought a small medicine box with him
After not seeing each other for a long time, Tang Nuo still looked elegant and delicate. She seemed to be a little thinner, but from her expression, it was impossible to tell that she was a person who had just been rescued from prison. When she saw Qi Ning, Tang Nuo's figure was slightly slim. He paused for a moment, but didn't say anything. He walked to Xiang Tianbei's side, reached out and put his hand on Xiang Tianbei's hand, then frowned and whispered: "Everyone, please go out first, and leave only one person." Can."
Qi Ning said hurriedly: "It's fine if I stay."
Elder Zhuque said: "Sir, I will arrange for someone to stay. You should have a rest first. With Miss Tang here, nothing major will happen."
Tang Nuo didn't say much. He already opened the medicine box, took out the silver needle from it, and quickly inserted it into the multiple acupuncture points on Xiang Tianbei's body. Only then did Qi Ning see that Xiang Tianbei was dying, and all he saw was one breath. I felt sad in my heart, thinking that the odds were against me, but now that I saw Tang Nuo taking action, I didn't know why, but I felt that as long as Tang Nuo was there, Xiang Tianbei could be dragged back even if he reached the gate of hell.
His whole body was covered in blood. Knowing that he looked like this, it was hard to stay by Tang Nuo's side, so he immediately went out. Elder Suzaku arranged for someone else to stay by Tang Nuo's side to wait for orders.
As soon as he went out, he caught a glimpse of a figure not far away from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw Gu Qinghan in plain clothes standing not far away, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking at him, her delicate body trembling slightly, her beautiful eyes She was shocked and happy, but when she saw Qin Ning covered in blood, Gu Qinghan's beautiful face immediately showed a look of horror. She came over quickly and said anxiously: "Ning'er, you... what's wrong with you?" He came over and grabbed Qin Ning's arm. Looking up and down: "You... where are you injured? Let Miss Tang take a look."
Qining saw that both Tang Nuo and Gu Qinghan were fine, and his heart finally felt at ease. He had not seen Gu Qinghan for a long time, but when he saw this familiar and beautiful face, he felt a sense of security and warmth in his heart, and said softly : "Don't worry, Sanniang, I'm fine." Looking at Gu Qinghan's charming but concerned eyes, she said softly: "You're fine, then... that's great."
His words were very simple, but there was a sense of relief. Gu Qinghan was so smart. He knew that Qi Ning must be worried about him day and night these days. He could only get out of prison only if Qi Ning tried his best to rescue him. His lips moved slightly. He moved, but there were many people from the Beggar Clan around at the moment, but he couldn't say anything.
Qi Ning knew what Gu Qinghan was thinking and said with a smile: "Sanniang, wait a moment. I'm afraid that I will scare you with all the blood stains on my body." Bai Shenghao had already sent someone to fetch water. Qi Ning smiled at Gu Qinghan and went over to the room. Qi Ning took off his clothes and washed them in the house. Bai Shenghao was also careful and asked someone to prepare a set of clean clothes. Although they were just old and coarse clothes, Qining didn't feel any discomfort when he put them on. When he went out, Bai Shenghao Shenghao and Elder Suzaku had already dismissed the others and arranged for everyone to be distributed in nearby areas to closely monitor whether anyone had sneaked in.
"Elder Suzaku, Master Bai, thanks to you this time." Qining cupped his hands and said: "The Beggar Clan should not have been involved in this matter, but... I can only trust you in Beijing. In times of crisis, I can only ask you for help.”
"Sir, what you said is beyond the pale." Elder Zhuque said sternly: "At the Aoki Conference, if you hadn't taken action, I don't dare to think what the Beggar Gang would be like now. I would like to ask the leader of the Beggar Gang. The gang is entrusted to you, no matter what, you are still the acting gang leader of the Beggar Clan at the moment, not to mention such trivial matters as today, or any other orders, the Ghost Golden Sheep Branch will obey them."
Bai Shenghao nodded and said: "What the elder said is absolutely true. Sir, although we are just a group of beggars, we also know what benevolence and righteousness are. Now that Sir can use us, it is our honor."
Qi Ning bowed deeply again.
After Qi Ning and Chi Danmei returned to Beijing, they secretly contacted the Beggar Clan. He knew that at this time, the Beggar Clan was definitely his most powerful helper.
The Beggar Clan has many masters, and they are well-informed. No one can be better than anyone assigned to the Beggar Clan to find out information.
For Qi Ning, the first thing he did after entering the capital was to rescue Gu Qinghan and others from the Kyoto Prefecture Prison. As long as Gu Qinghan and others were in the hands of Xiao Shaozong and he was tied up, it would be impossible for him to let go and do the next thing. For this reason, he and Chi Danmei carefully designed a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
Inviting Tie Zheng to the appointment and deliberately leaking the flaw will naturally make Xiao Shaozong aware that Qi Ning has appeared, and will definitely send people to surround Qi Ning. As long as the killers near Kyoto Prefecture are mobilized to divert the attention of these people, There will be a short-term emptiness in Kyoto Prefecture. In this way, Chi Danmei can sneak into Kyoto Prefecture and calmly rescue Gu Qinghan and others.
Tie Zheng was an upright person, and there were only a handful of people in the court who could invite Tie Zheng to attend the appointment. What's more, he had to go to the tea house in the west of the city to keep the appointment. If someone else had invited him, Tie Zheng would have ignored him. Only Yuan Lao Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has this reputation. Lao Shangshu has assisted several generations of monarchs. He is highly respected in the court and is as upright as iron. This is because he is in awe of Yuan Lao Shangshu. Even if the old Shangshu proposed a strange place for the appointment, Tie Zheng could only go to the appointment because of Lao Shangshu's sake.
Qining grasped this and persuaded Yuan Laoshang to send the invitation.
However, even if Kyoto Prefecture is empty, it will not be easy for Chi Danmei to rescue Gu Qinghan and others alone.
Therefore, Bai Shenghao first sent people to bribe people in Kyoto Prefecture, obtained the detailed layout map of Kyoto Prefecture, and found out the location where Gu Qinghan and others were imprisoned. After Tie Zheng went to the appointment, Bai Shenghao and Elder Suzaku led several The master of the Minggui Golden Sheep Branch followed Chi Danmei to implement the rescue plan.
It was just that Qi Ning was used as bait to lure out the group of killers, but he did not reveal it to Bai Shenghao and others. Only Chi Danmei knew it. Chi Danmei knew that being a bait must be extremely dangerous, so she rejected the plan for a time, but in the end she could not defeat Qi Ning. Reluctantly agree.
Fortunately, tonight's plan was implemented smoothly. Not only were Gu Qinghan and others successfully rescued, Qining also escaped unharmed.
"By the way, Miss Chi...?" Qi Ning didn't see Chi Danmei after she came back, which was quite strange.
Elder Zhuque said: "After Miss Chi came back with us, she saw that the lord had not come back yet, so she said she was going to pick up the lord, so...!"
Qi Ning was startled and immediately became worried.
He and Chi Danmei separated their troops. Chi Danmei's plan was going well, but she didn't see Qi Ning return. Naturally, she was worried. She knew where Qi Ning was going to make the appointment, so it was reasonable to go to meet him.
However, considering that Chi Danmei was highly skilled in martial arts and alert, and would not take action easily as long as he was not found, Qin Ning still trusted Chi Danmei's cautiousness and knew that Chi Danmei would be able to escape unscathed.
"Sir, I have sent a letter to Elder Qinglong." Elder Zhuque said in a low voice: "The letter did not mention Sir, but I told Elder Qinglong that we have important matters to discuss, and asked him to do it as soon as possible. Come here, Elder Qinglong should leave immediately after receiving the letter."
Qi Ning was startled, frowned and said: "This... How can this bother Elder Lou?"
"The Sir's current situation requires manpower." Elder Zhuque said: "Elder Qinglong is a talented person in his own right. If he can come over, not only will there be more manpower, but he will also be able to help the Sir a lot."
Qi Ning sighed inwardly. Elder Zhuque knew that Qining had a good relationship with Elder Qinglong, Master Lou, so he sent someone to ask Master Lou to help. This was also Zhuque's intention.
He didn't say much, and walked to Xiang Tianbei's room. The door was closed. Knowing that Tang Nuo was inside for treatment, he didn't bother him at the moment. He said softly: "Master Bai, if there is anything going on here, report it to me immediately." ." He asked where Gu Qinghan was and then went to Gu Qinghan's room.
