The world is always strange. Sometimes when you see yourself in a desperate situation, suddenly there is a bright future, and the situation suddenly changes, which makes people unprepared.
Qining feels like this now.
"Brother, let's arrest them immediately." Eve was overjoyed: "After arresting them, we will ask them who sent them, so that we will know who is behind the murder of us."
"No!" Bayeli and Qining said almost in unison, and then they looked at each other. Qining smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal Bayeli to speak.
Bayeli thought for a moment and then said to Qining: "You said you were a Marquis of Jinyi, but you don't have a wolf chain. Although there is an explanation, you can't just rely on one side of the story."
"The Cave Master is right." Qi Ning nodded and said, "At times like this, be careful when sailing."
"Thank you for your understanding." Baye said forcefully: "If he is really Jin Yihou and you are fake, we have offended the real Jin Yihou."
Eve said anxiously: "Brother, what else is there to doubt? This...!" She glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning looking at her with a smile. She could not help but feel her cheeks heat up. She lowered her head and said, "This is the real thing." Jinyihou."
"Eve, we can't catch him easily now." Qining said: "Even if he is a fake, we can't do it."
"Why?"
"First, the most dangerous person to take action at this time is Bai Tangling." Qi Ning said sternly: "Bai Tangling's life and death is related to the innocence of your Black Rock Cave. Now Bai Tangling is in their hands. Once they find out that you have seen through it, prepare to take action against them. , then Bai Tangling will definitely die." After scanning a few people, he slowly said: "Secondly, these people are by no means the real culprits behind the scenes. This Black Rock Cave incident is full of doubts. If I am not wrong, the Black Rock Ridge incident is just From the beginning, this incident will involve the Miao Family's Seventy-Two Cave in a huge conspiracy, and the forces behind this must be uncovered."
Eve immediately said: "Brother, the Marquis is right. Not only do we need to clear our names, we also need to find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
Bayeli pondered for a moment and finally asked: "What do you think we should do next?" He was obviously still a little suspicious, but he obviously trusted Qining's identity.
"Cave Master, how many people followed that person?" Qining asked in a low voice.
Bayali immediately said: "The five people are said to be the guards of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, protecting the safety of the Marquis. I can see that their martial arts are not weak."
"Bai Tangling is in their hands. You said they are protecting him. In other words, Bai Tangling is under their noses?" Qi Ning asked.
Bayeli nodded and said: "Exactly, they said that someone has been trying to assassinate Bai Tangling and must be strictly protected. After handing over County Magistrate Bai to them this morning, four people stayed close to Magistrate Bai, never leaving. No one can get close. Today, the man stayed to entertain the girl's parents and said that he would have Magistrate Bai taken away first. I persuaded them to stay, firstly to protect the safety of the Marquis, and secondly. The more people there are, the more lively it will be, we can’t be the only ones here with the Miao family.”
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Fortunately, the cave master did this, otherwise Bai Tangling would have been taken away, and it would be useless for the Marquis to stay."
"Brother, are they still sticking to County Magistrate Bai now?" Eve asked.
Bayeli said: "They live next door to the Marquis. The two houses are only a dozen steps away. There are two people in the house, and there are two people guarding the house outside." His expression was very serious at this time: "The remaining One of my subordinates is guarding outside the house of the Marquis."
Qi Ning pointed his finger on the tip of his nose, thoughtfully, and said: "Although the Marquis is greedy and lustful, since he was sent here, he must not be stupid. There are also five people under him, although they are not many in number. There are many, but his martial arts is good, and there are still people in the house, very close to County Magistrate Bai. If there is any movement and they notice something is wrong, they may kill Magistrate Bai in an instant."
"Master Marquis, they are not taking action now because they want to get down the mountain alive." Eve's beautiful eyes turned slightly, "As long as they go down the mountain, they will take action. I'm afraid County Magistrate Bai won't even have any bones left."
He addressed Qi Ning as Lord Marquis, obviously believing that Qi Ning was the real Marquis of Jinyi.
"Eve is right." Qining nodded: "But since these people dare to go up the mountain, they must be prepared to be seen through. They are desperadoes. Once they find out that they are seen through, they will never show mercy."
Bai Yali thought deeply: "Master Marquis, before we rescue Magistrate Bai from them, we must not let them see that we have seen through them, and we have to start from that fake...!" After a pause, he still took care of Ba. Yeli's mood: "It's not easy to find out the real culprit behind the scenes from the Marquis. If anyone disturbs anyone, the other side will definitely notice."
"Both of these things are very difficult." Eve frowned and said, "Magistrate Bai is so important to them, how can he be rescued? And how can the fake marquis confess so easily?"
Qi Ning thought for a while and said: "Since the Marquis is greedy and lustful, it means that he still has a lot of weaknesses. If he can be captured alive, he may not be able to interrogate and give a confession. But the white-headed man is right, absolutely We can't let the other party see the flaw, otherwise Bai Tangling's life will be in danger, so...!"
"So what?" Seeing Qining's slight hesitation, Eve asked hurriedly.
Qining stared at Bayeli and said softly: "Cave Master, it depends on whether you can be firm in your mind. I have an idea here, which may be able to rescue Bai Tangling."
"Oh?" Baye said forcefully, "Say."
"My idea is probably to go to war with those people. If the cave master is worried that the other party is a Jin Yihou and doesn't want to conflict with the other party, he can only find another way." Qin Ning looked solemn: "But there is not much time, the cave master We must make a prompt decision without too much delay.”
Bayeli was thoughtful, and Eve frowned and said, "Brother, what are you still hesitating about? Do you still think that person is Jin Yihou?"
Bayeli thought for a while, then looked at Qining and asked, "What are your ideas?"
The night is deep, and the entire Black Rock Ridge is shrouded in night. The Black Rock Ridge, which stretches for dozens of miles, is like a giant beast crawling on the vast land. The twilight is dark, and there is a hidden danger.
The main village of Heiyan Cave was also dead silent.
On the mountainside, there are rows of stilted buildings. In a quiet corner, there are two stilted buildings very close to each other. Like twin brothers, the stilted buildings are lit up.
Outside the two stilted buildings, there were people guarding and patrolling.
The guards were all wearing brocade clothes and carrying long swords at their waists, but they all looked very alert.
At the entrance of the stilted building on the left, the guard saw a figure coming from the opposite side. He frowned, pressed the handle of the knife, and said in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
I saw a Miao man coming forward, bending down and saluting: "The cave master wants to ask if the Marquis has woken up? He has something important to see the Marquis."
"Oh?" The guard was extremely alert and said, "Mr. Marquis has been resting in the middle of the night. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"It's like this. The cave master knows that you are going down the mountain early tomorrow morning, so he has prepared some gifts." The Miao man lowered his head and said respectfully: "The Marquis has a noble body and has everything, so the cave master doesn't know what he has prepared." Are the gifts appropriate? Some of them are for you to take back to the capital and be given to the family members in the Marquis’ Mansion. The cave master would like to ask the Marquis to choose them.”
The guard's face softened slightly and he asked, "Have you prepared any gifts? What are they?"
"They are all local goods." The Miao people smiled and said: "Some animal skins, some medicinal materials, and some jewelry are all collected by our black cave. Although they are not worth much silver, they are also very rare, so...! "
The guard smiled and said: "Your cave master is very sensible. If the Marquis knows it, he will be very happy. Prepare all the gifts and take them away together tomorrow."
Miao Ren said: "There are also some calligraphy and paintings that require the Marquis to appreciate in person. The cave owner said that he does not understand calligraphy and painting, and needs the Marquis to taste and select them."
"Calligraphy and painting?" the guard asked suspiciously, "Where did you get the calligraphy and painting in your Miao village?"
The Miao man said: "When the old Marquis quelled the chaos in Xichuan, and before the class returned to Beijing, many dignitaries from Xichuan presented gifts to the Jinyi old Marquis. The old Marquis was very generous and took great care of our old cave master. At that time, he passed them on He gave us a batch of calligraphy and paintings to the old cave master for us to treasure. He said they were all good things, so the old cave master kept those calligraphy and paintings in the village. This time when the Marquis came, we really didn’t have anything good to offer in the village. , so... the cave master took out the batch of calligraphy and paintings, and wanted to ask the Marquis to select a few as gifts." He added: "And all the guards, you have worked hard all the way, and the cave master has also prepared gifts for you. .”
The guard looked back at the room and said, "Wait a minute, I'll see if the Marquis wakes up."
He jumped up to the stilted building in a few steps, approached the door, and said softly: "Master Hou, Master Hou, the master of Bayeli Cave has prepared some gifts. I would like to invite Master Hou to come and have a look. I wonder if Master Hou is free?" Hearing this? There was no sound inside, so I called twice more.
After waiting for a while, I heard the door of the house open. A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old opened the door with his upper body wide open, yawned, and asked: "What gift?"
The Miao man hurriedly took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master Hou, this is a gift from the cave master. There are some rare medicinal materials, animal skins, and some jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. Please come over and have a look to see if they are suitable." Mind."
"Jewelry, calligraphy and painting?" The young man opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, your cave master is very filial. Let me see what the gifts are. Wait a minute." He turned around and entered the house. After a while, he came out with his clothes on. , walked down the stilted building and said: "Lead the way."
The Miao man led the way very humbly, and the young man in splendid clothes and jade belt followed behind. The guard also followed behind the young man. After walking for a while, the young man already said to the Miao man leading the way: "You girls from Black Cave are very beautiful." She is docile, and I like her very much. By the way, if there are any more beautiful girls in the village, I will select a few more, and I will take them down the mountain with them, and marry them all into the Jinyi Hou Mansion so that they can enjoy the glory and wealth."
