After discussing the business, Wei Tu was about to say goodbye and leave.
He has other things to deal with here at Qingtang Guard, and cannot stay with Qin Shaoyou and others.
In fact, even if he could stay around, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer would advise him to hide temporarily and not expose him too early, lest the Marquis of Dongchuan know that there are hidden arrangements in their hands, which would arouse their suspicion of them.
doubts and vigilance.
When he got up to see Wei Tu off, Qin Shaoyou thought of the spies sent by the Marquis of Dongchuan around the post station, and couldn't help but ask: "When Brother Wei came, was he not discovered by the spies around?"
"No."
Wei Tu picked up his door panel sword and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "When I came here, I found that your place was not clean and there were many rats hiding there, so I used a little trick on them to prevent them from seeing.
Come to me."
"Is it the power of truth? The kind that blinds one's eyes with a leaf?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
"no."
Wei Tu shook his head, patted the sword on his shoulder, and let out a clanking sword sound.
"How troublesome is it to use Power Word? I knocked them all unconscious with the back of my sword."
Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
Knock him out with a sword? Is it that simple and crude?
However, it fits your burly figure and your fine tradition of "conquering people with virtue"... But, if you hit someone with such a big sword, are you sure it won't kill someone?
Wei Tu grinned and continued: "Actually, even if you don't ask, I will talk about this matter. After all, I have to trouble you to help deal with the aftermath. Don't let these people wake up and realize that they were knocked unconscious.
"
"Brother Wei, don't worry, we will take care of it."
Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes and felt that this matter could be used to advantage.
Qin Qiaoer noticed this scene, so after seeing Wei Tu off, she asked him, "Do you have any plans?"
"Sixth sister still understands me. I plan to take this opportunity to further dispel Marquis Dongchuan's suspicion and vigilance towards us."
Qin Shaoyou smiled and nodded, expressed his thoughts, discussed with Qin Qiaoer, and then called the red-clothed envoy to make arrangements inside the inn.
After the layout was completed, Qin Shaoyou released his blood and awakened the post officials and post soldiers inside the post station, as well as the spies and crows hiding around the post station.
As soon as these people and the crow were awakened, they immediately realized something was wrong.
They quickly recalled that they had been knocked unconscious by a sneak attack, rather than deserting and falling asleep. They were suddenly frightened and angry, fearing that it was the red-clothed messenger who had caused it. When they looked at it, they were surprised to find that the inn had become shabby.
Damn, it's like it just went through a fierce battle.
As for their surveillance targets, the red-clad envoys, almost all of them had blood on their bodies, and many of them were injured.
The spies suddenly felt overwhelmed, and their minds were filled with questions: How long have I been asleep? What happened here?
After Yi Cheng was surprised, he hurriedly found a red-clothed envoy to ask about the situation.
This messenger in red is none other than Zhu Xiucai.
Following what Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer taught him, he cursed and said: "Just now, a group of Qingtang spies and demons from the Black Lotus Sect teamed up to break into the inn and tried to sneak attack us, but we killed them and retreated."
As he spoke, he pointed to several corpses placed in the yard.
These corpses are indeed those of Qingtang spies and Black Lotus cult demons. If you look closely, you can still find some residual Qingtang witchcraft and vicious aura in them.
Qin Shaoyou and the others searched for the whereabouts of the Qingtang wizard in the city. Although they found nothing, they discovered the hidden Qingtang spies and Black Lotus cult demons.
After Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer decided to make a fuss about the fact that the spy was knocked unconscious by Wei Tu, Qin Shaoyou released the paper crane talisman, notified Cui Yougui and Su Jianqing, and asked them to attack and kill several people with lightning speed.
The Qingtang spies and the Black Lotus Cult demons brought the corpse back to the inn and set up a scene for a fierce battle.
After listening to Zhu Xiucai's words, Yi Cheng looked at the corpse on the ground and was immediately frightened. He hurriedly found an excuse and ran to report the news to his superior.
The spies hiding around the inn also used their own methods to find out what happened. The Qingtang spies and the Black Lotus Cult demons came to the inn to attack the red-clothed envoys. In order to prevent these spies from warning them, they were knocked unconscious.
There were also a few spies who probably noticed the arrival of these people and wanted to warn them and resisted, but they were killed and died in such a miserable way... their heads were broken.
This information was quickly collected into the hands of Marquis Dongchuan.
In order not to make themselves look too useless and thus be punished, except for a small number of spies who reported truthfully and said that they fell into a coma without finding anything, most of the spies said that they did see the Qingtang spies and
The Black Lotus Sect demons approached the inn, but before they could warn them, they were knocked down by these people using powerful evil techniques.
There is one meaning behind the words: it's not that we are useless, it's that the enemy is too cunning.
If it was just the red-clothed envoy who said they were attacked by a sneak attack, Marquis Dongchuan would still be suspicious, but now there is not only a scene, but also corpses, and the spies he sent to testify.
Through such a combination of internal and external cooperation, Dongchuan Hou was successfully deceived.
"As expected, Qingtang and the Black Lotus Sect are really involved. I asked the red-clothed envoy to investigate this case, and it was really a clever move. So quickly, they made dog eat dog."
The Marquis of Dongchuan was very satisfied with his ingenious plan to drive away wolves and devoured tigers.
He did not doubt that the people from Qingtang and the Black Lotus Sect would dare to sneak attack the red-clothed messenger.
Those guys even dared to assassinate his son, and even dared to sneak into his palace to cause trouble and sneak attack on the red-clothed messenger. Is there any wonder?
"The only pity is that we didn't kill all these red-clad envoys... No, killing them all is not good. It will easily make the court suspect that I did it. It is best to leave a few alive to help me prove my innocence."
When Marquis Dongchuan thought of this, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He was thinking whether he should contact some people to pretend to be Qingtang and the Black Lotus Sect to cause more casualties to the Red Envoy.
After a while, he gave up the idea.
"Don't worry, wait for the Red Envoy, Qingtang, and the Black Lotus Sect to continue dog-eat-dog. If the bite is not serious, I will take action before it is too late. This matter must be considered in the long term. No matter who I contact, they cannot expose me...
"
Because of this incident, Marquis Dongchuan's evaluation of Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiao'er and other red-clothed messengers dropped again. Although they were not negligent, they did not attach as much importance to them as they did at the beginning.
And this is exactly the result Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer want.
The Marquis of Dongchuan is a fierce tiger entrenched in Qingtang Guard, and may snatch people away and devour them at any time.
Before the reinforcements arrived, they had to find ways to reduce Dongchuan Hou's suspicion and vigilance towards them. Only in this way could they give Dongchuan Hou a hard blow at the critical moment and annihilate him in one fell swoop.
In the next two days, Qin Shaoyou and the others, in addition to searching the city for the soul of the Qingtang wizard, were also investigating babies born in the city in the past two days, as well as pregnant women who were about to give birth.
It's just that these two things didn't go very smoothly.
The situation encountered by the former was similar to that on the first day.
They searched in many places in the city, but found only some wandering ghosts, but not the ghost transformed by the Qingtang wizard.
As for the latter, investigating it is more troublesome than finding the soul.
If it is somewhere else, you can use your identity as the red-clad emissary to search from house to house.
But the situation in Qingtang Acropolis is different from other places.
People here are already in panic because of the war. If they continue to search house to house, they are afraid that the suspicious babies and fetuses will not be found yet, and the snakes will not be alerted, and a civil uprising will be triggered first.
And Dongchuan Hou will definitely not let go of such an opportunity to deal with them legitimately.
At that time, even if Lu Bing wanted to protect his calf, he would not be able to do so, and he would still have to grit his teeth and thank Marquis Dongchuan.
Qin Shaoyou and the others can only investigate secretly.
On one side, Zhu Xiucai was asked to take a few nimble red-clothed messengers and hold supernatural objects that could distinguish breaths. They flew across the wall and sneaked into each house to see if they had babies, fetuses, or other items of suitable age.
For screening.
On the other hand, Su Jianqing was asked to go through the wall to transfer property in her spirit state for screening.
In fact, you can also use Gu insects and paper figures, but considering that Dongchuan Hou's people keep an eye on them for fear of exposing too many trump cards and arousing suspicion, it is useless.
Of course, Qin Shaoyou's [Bian Ting] and [Miao Bi] also played a great role in the search operation.
"In the alley on the left, there is a cry of a baby. Write down the location and ask Xiucai, Jianqing and others to come over and check it out later. Well, wait, I smell the scent of the Black Lotus..."
