Girl Yinhua heard that the Copper-Eyed Arhat finally finished the whole paragraph with all his efforts. Just as she was waiting for further persuasion, she saw the Copper-Eyed Arhat's two eyes, one red and one white, wide open, as if their eyes were all open. It was about to burst out of his eyes, knowing that he had made up his mind and refused to let him go.
But I heard Shi Wei say: "Are you stupid? You have a grudge against Yuchi Lianghong. If you want to resolve it, let his sworn brother go. If you don't want to resolve it, you have to practice martial arts diligently and find Yuchi Lianghong himself." Revenge. If you kill his brother now, you still have a grudge. If he comes to kill you and you still can't kill him, isn't it unnecessary? "
Shi Wei's words were so logical that not only the bronze-eyed Arhat, who couldn't read a single word, was speechless after hearing this, but Qiu Yizhi also took it for granted and secretly admired this "pimp" for keeping quiet on weekdays. , but he is really a person who can do things and talk well.
Even so, the Brazen-Eyed Arhat was still unwilling to let go of his enemy so easily. He still carried Qiu Yizhi, but he couldn't let go or walk away. He just stood like a wooden man, covered with blood. upstairs outside the garden.
It was Miss Yinhua who came up and whispered a few words into the ear of the copper-eyed arhat.
Suddenly, I heard the copper-eyed arhat say in surprise: "Is this serious?" He said these four words very fluently in desperation.
Qiu Yizhi faced the floor and couldn't see the expression of the copper-eyed arhat clearly, but she could hear him taking a long breath and saying: "Since...that's the case, this...this...this account should be written down first, where can I wait?" Tianwei... Yuchi Lianghong capsized... capsized the boat, or died in the hands of the old... I will come back to deal with this... this... this kid! "
The copper-eyed Arhat raised his hand and threw Qiu Yizhi forward as if to vent his anger.
Qiu Yizhi was thrown by him and hit the extremely thick wooden screen. In an instant, his internal organs seemed to be turned upside down. He couldn't bear the pain for a moment, his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
I don't know how long it took, but Qiu Yizhi gradually came to her senses. She looked up and saw that the building outside the garden, which was originally very busy, was as quiet as a ghost building. Not only the guests in the building had disappeared, but also the Bronze-Eyed Arhat, the Golden Flower Girl, and the Silver Flower. Flower girl and three wealthy people from all walks of life have gone to nowhere.
Qiu Yizhi endured the excruciating pain on his back, legs, and arms, and managed to stand up. When he touched his waist, there was only an empty scabbard, and then he remembered that the sword in his hand had been kicked away by the copper-eyed arhat. go out.
This sword from the Western Regions is a treasure that cannot be bought with money. It has saved Qiu Yizhi's life several times but now it has disappeared. Qiu Yizhi is looking for it all over the place. However, in addition to the smashed tables, chairs and benches and the dead bodies and severed limbs of officers and soldiers, there were pools of black blood on the ground outside the garden, but no trace of his precious sword could be found.
Qiu Yizhi refused to give up and was about to continue searching when he heard a voice coming from behind: "Is His Highness Yi looking for your saber?"
This was not said in a very loud voice, but it shocked Qiu Yi.
He was so frightened that he quickly turned around, only to see that the speaker was Liu Qing, the governor of Jiangnan Province, huddled on a seat in the corner and talking to him. Then he felt a little relieved and asked: "Liu Qing, how many bronze-eyed arhats are there?" Why didn’t I kidnap you too?”
Liu Qing shook his head and said: "This junior general doesn't know..."
Qiu Yizhi asked again: "What about Shi Wei? Where were they taken to?"
Liu Qing shook his head again: "I don't know. They went downstairs together, and the general didn't dare to follow..."
"Then my knife was also taken away by them?" Qiu Yizhi asked again.
This time Liu Qing did not answer "I don't know", but nodded affirmatively: "I was taken away by that stuttering man..."
Qiu Yizhi looked at Liu Qing's useless look and was about to get angry, but suddenly thought that he had not been sitting in the seat of Jiangnan Dao Jiedushi for a long time. His anger immediately dissipated, and he asked again: "The rich man in the world." Killing people in a busy city and kidnapping an imperial envoy is the biggest case in the world. You are the military chief of Jiangnan, and security in Jinling is also within your scope of responsibility. Do you have any countermeasures? "
After hearing Qiu Yizhi's words, Liu Qing felt as if he was struck by thunder. Like the copper-eyed Arhat just now, he stuttered and repeated the word "this" countless times, but could never say another word.
Of course Qiu Yizhi knew that he had no countermeasures, so he said again: "You must think clearly. This matter happened within your jurisdiction and happened in front of you. With Prime Minister Zhongli's strictness and selflessness, with today's situation Your Majesty is so wise and decisive, you should know what will happen to you, right?"
behead! Cut in half! Lingchi!
These words immediately appeared in Liu Qing's mind, and the word "death" could not be escaped. This made Liu Qing so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, you must do it in front of the emperor and the prime minister." Please plead for me and save my life!"
Qiu Yizhi shook his head and said: "This matter is too big. Even if the emperor and Master Zhongli accept my love and change your crime of Lingchi to execution, how much difference will it make? If you want to live, listen to me. This method may save a small life.”
When Liu Qing heard this, he was like a man who was about to die of thirst in the desert seeing a cup filled with liquid. Whether the cup contained sweet spring or poisonous wine, it had endless temptation for him. So Liu Qing hurriedly said: "Also, please teach me how to save my life!"
Qiu Yizhi said: "Okay, but as I said, you must do it now and do it to the letter. If anything goes wrong, the trouble will be even greater."
Liu Qing nodded quickly.
Qiu Yi said: "It's God who helps you. The Japanese pirates are making a lot of noise outside Jinling City, so the city gates have been tightly guarded these days. These strong men and wealthy people may not be able to leave the city for a while. You must order the people inside the city now." The garrison must be strengthened, and the number of troops guarding the city gate must be doubled. No flies can be allowed in. The Yanziji Pier must also be strictly controlled. Merchant ships come and go frequently here, and more soldiers must be sent to check people leaving the city one by one. Jinling City is surrounded like an iron barrel, we cannot let these three people hold Shi Wei hostage and run away."
Seeing Liu Qing's serious expression, obviously trusting him very much, he thought again and said: "The three bronze-eyed Arhats have strange descriptions and obvious features. As long as they show their heads, it is not very difficult to catch them. If you want to, they will be caught." These three people were drawn into figures and circulated among the armies..."
"Once discovered, arrest immediately?" Liu Qing interjected.
"No! Once you find out, just pretend you haven't seen it. These three people are very skilled in martial arts. With the soldiers you have, ten or eight of them are just looking for death. If you find out, you must inform me immediately. I have the ability to surrender them. We can only take action after discussing with the experts and elite soldiers."
Qiu Yizhi's words were very reasonable, and Liu Qing couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Just listen to Qiu Yizhi say again: "We must also be on guard against Copper-Eyed Arhat and the others. After killing Shi Wei, we will fight to the death. This Shi Wei is not a great person. He will die if he dies. However, he has the status of an imperial envoy after all." . Killing the imperial envoy is a crime that will go to heaven; if the imperial envoy is not killed and the culprit is captured, it will be just a slightly larger robbery. If you handle it well, maybe the emperor will return it. There is a reward!”
When Liu Qing heard this, he frowned and said, "I'm afraid that Shi Wei will be careless and expose the matter when he returns to the capital..."
"Don't be afraid now." Qiu Yizhi said, "This Shi Wei is not a fool. A dignified imperial envoy was kidnapped by robbers. Is this something honorable? After you rescue him, just deal with him. It doesn’t matter whether you conceal the matter completely or pretend to be an imperial envoy to go deep into the tiger’s den to arrest the gangsters.”
Qiu Yizhi's arrangements sounded like enlightenment to Liu Qing. The fear he felt just now was gone. He couldn't help but smile on his face: "Thank you for having His Highness Yi here today. If His Highness Yi hadn't taught me how to do it, the Emperor would have done that." There is no way I can explain it to you. Let alone the emperor, even if Prime Minister Zhongli glares at me, half of my life will be lost."
Seeing Liu Qing's irresponsible look, Qiu Yizhi felt extremely contemptuous and said, "Don't be too happy too early. Shi Wei is still in the hands of others, and those gangsters haven't caught him yet. You still have to It’s roasting on the fire!”
Liu Qing was startled by Qiu Yizhi's merciless scolding, and then heard him continue: "You have such lucky free time, why don't you quickly order people to protect Jinling City? These wealthy people in the world. You are very skilled in martial arts. You have these stragglers. Kill them and rush out. Let’s see where you can find them!”
"Yes! Yes! What His Highness Yi said makes sense." After saying that, Liu Qing stood up, walked to Qiu Yizhi's side, and bowed to Qiu Yizhi again. "Then the general will go to make arrangements, Your Highness Yi." No more company!”
With that said, Liu Qing hurriedly walked downstairs to the Yuanwai Building, but he didn't notice that the floor on the second floor of the Yuanwai Building was covered with half-dried blood stains that made his feet slippery. , he fell onto his back, his buttocks and back were stained with blackened blood, making him look miserable.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi didn't go to help him, and lectured: "Why are you so anxious? There are dangers in Jinling City now. As soon as you leave, do you want me to go back to Lin Shuhan's village alone in the dark? You haven't dispatched the soldiers yet." Come and protect me when I go back? You should also quickly send someone to Lin Shuhan to inform them so that they can prepare in advance."
Liu Qing was afraid that Qiu Yizhi would be angry, so Nuonuo quickly agreed several times. He happened to catch a glimpse of a guard patrolling the city walking downstairs, and loudly called for the leader among them to come up and follow the arrangements just mentioned by Qiu Yizhi. After a while.
Within a short time, the downstairs outside the garden was extremely noisy. There were at least a thousand soldiers gathered downstairs after the order, each holding a lantern and a torch in their hands, illuminating the corner of the Qinhuai River as if it were daytime.
When Qiu Yi saw it, he couldn't help but feel that Liu Qing's big fanfare was a bit too conspicuous. However, after thinking about it, there may be far more wealthy gangsters hidden in Jinling City than the three copper-eyed Arhats. It might not be enough to scare them away like this. no need.
So Qiu Yizhi did not stop him, and walked calmly to Lin Shuhan's manor, escorted by a group of forty or fifty soldiers.
As they approached the manor, Qiu Yizhi met Zhao Chengxiao head-on. Seeing that he had organized more than a hundred village warriors to come out to greet her, she immediately felt extremely relieved, so she deliberately joked: "Brother Zhao didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Did you ask your brothers to come out for training? It’s not going to happen tonight, right?”
Zhao Chengxiao, however, had a nervous and serious look on his face: "I just heard the officers and soldiers coming to deliver the order, saying that your Excellency is in danger, how can I think about sleeping? I quickly ordered the uninjured and less injured brothers to come over and greet Your Excellency."
As he spoke, he looked Qiu Yizhi up and down, and asked with concern: "Your Excellency, you are not injured, are you?" (To be continued)
