"What's going on?" Wei Tao opened the courtyard door.
Wu Yin had an anxious expression on his face, "Lingyung Pavilion came to send a message and invite them to finalize the final regulations on the last division of territory. Elder Gan and Sister Ou went over to participate in the negotiations, but they were both kidnapped halfway!"
When Wei Tao heard this, the true energy of the blood moon in his body suddenly leaked out, the black and red auras intertwined and entangled, and the wooden door he held down with his hand suddenly showed a scorch mark.
"Tell me in detail what happened?"
He asked with a gloomy expression and a cold tone.
The last time Lingyun Pavilion and the Mingshui Gang came to ask for an explanation at the same time, both parties had already surrendered when they left.
In recent days, everyone has been at peace with each other. Lingyun Pavilion even withdrew all its forces from the area in order to show its attitude and avoid suspicion.
The result happened suddenly at this time, which was really surprising and outrageous.
It would be fine if someone else was taken away.
Gan Liang and Ou Yinglian are his cronies in Qingfeng Temple, and you will know if you do a little digging.
Now that just the two of them have been arrested, this is a clear wink to him, and can even be said to be a slap in his face.
"Do you know who made the move?" Wei Tao asked expressionlessly.
Wu Yin shook his head, "I don't know who took action. They only saw a tall man in black clothes and a mask. He suddenly jumped out of the Lingyun Pavilion team and knocked them unconscious with just one blow."
"Oh……"
At this moment, the misty and ethereal laughter quietly emerged.
This made Wei Tao, who was already in a bad mood, even more irritable.
He turned back to the building, changed his clothes and walked directly outside.
As he walked, he asked, "Where is the headquarters of Lingyun Pavilion?"
"Does Guanzhu Li know about this matter? What does he think about it?"
"Back to the deacon, Guanzhu Li already knows about this matter and is preparing to send someone to the main hall of Lingyun Pavilion to ask for an explanation from them."
Wei Tao asked again, "Who will lead the team that will be sent out immediately?"
"Prince Guan Li had not recovered from the cold, so he handed over the matter to an ordinary-looking woman in a blue shirt."
Wu Yin was a little confused when he said this, "I have never seen this person in the temple before."
"I know who it is."
Wei Tao nodded, "You go prepare your horse, and I'll go there with them."
"My subordinate understands."
Qingfeng Guanmen.
A group of warriors is checking the equipment they carry.
Qingying stood in front, staring at the setting sun in the afternoon, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, she turned around and bowed slightly, "Uncle Li said that Deacon Wei was recuperating and resting, so he didn't ask me to report the matter to you."
Wei Tao turned over and dismounted, looking around, "My people have a problem, so naturally I have to find out what's going on."
Qingying nodded, "Uncle Li also felt a little strange. After all, what happened this time was not consistent with common sense. Only after going there can we understand the reason for Lingyung Pavilion's sudden change of face."
After quickly checking the equipment and protective gear, the group of people rushed straight to Luoshui City without stopping.
Half an hour later, when everyone arrived at Lingyun Pavilion, there were already more than a dozen Qingfeng warriors standing in front of the door, confronting the people inside.
The person leading the team was Cheng Shusheng. When something like this happened, he seemed a little angry and kept circling outside.
When he saw Wei Tao arriving, he quickly stepped forward to salute, as if he had seen his backbone, and his expression suddenly became much calmer.
"Uncle Wei, I believe that the two guest ministers Gan Liang and Ou Yinglian were ambushed and knocked unconscious by the masters invited by Lingyun Pavilion, and were brought here."
Speaking of this, Cheng Shusheng gritted his teeth and said, "Just now, I heard faint screams coming from inside. They seemed to be our two guests!"
Wei Tao slowly exhaled a breath, turned his head and looked towards the gate of Lingyun Pavilion headquarters.
On the high steps, the vermilion door opened a gap.
Standing inside was an old man in civilian clothes, looking down at the bluestone patterns at his feet with all his concentration, without even glancing at the Qingfeng warriors gathered outside.
It wasn't until Wei Tao came closer that he raised his eyelids slightly and focused his gaze.
"Uncle, be careful. This person is extremely powerful. Gan Liang and Ou Yinglian were kidnapped by him, and they couldn't even survive a face-to-face encounter."
Cheng Shu said with lingering fear, "The disciple tried to stop him at that time, but he just gave him a gentle push. He felt that his breathing was not smooth and his energy and blood were scattered. He could only watch him leave."
"I'm going to test his strength."
Qingying clasped his hands behind his back, his palms to his fingers slowly turning blue-gray, and walked towards the door step by step.
In an instant, the clothes flashed, and the two figures separated as soon as they touched.
Qingying actually staggered back, with a look of pain in his eyes besides surprise.
"Are you the deacon of Qingfengguan?"
The commoner old man didn't even look at her, but still focused his gaze on Wei Tao, "I heard that the troll Tong Gang died in your hands. I was lucky enough to meet the real person today, so I wanted to see your strength.
Take a look and see what’s so special about the exercises you practice.”
"If you want to see my strength, you must be prepared to be beaten to death by me."
Wei Tao's face was expressionless, and the qi and blood in his body began to slowly stimulate the growth. The black and red true energy circulated in Rendu's second channel and quickly condensed in one place.
The commoner old man narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression finally showing a hint of solemnity.
The two were ten steps apart, facing each other in silence.
The atmosphere in front of the door suddenly became extremely tense.
At this moment, a clear and sweet girl's voice suddenly sounded.
"Uncle Lu, the lady has finished asking her questions. You can let him in."
The old man in cloth clothes instantly lost his aura and returned to the appearance of an old servant with a low eyebrow and a submissive look.
He took out a token from his arms and showed it in front of Wei Tao's eyes, "Miss Lu Zhihe, the observation envoy of the Supervisory and Military Division, is inside, and Wei Tao, the guard deacon of Qingfengguan, went to reply."
The next moment, Chief He from Luoshui City came from the courtyard and urged, "Deacon Wei had better hurry up, Inspector Lu is already waiting inside."
Lu Zhihe, the observation envoy of the Military Supervisory Department?
It turned out to be her inside the Lingyunge headquarters.
Wei Tao frowned. He didn't expect that he would meet her again in this place and in this way after they had just met her.
So, it should be this woman's decision to kidnap Gan Liang and Ou Yinglian.
Since the other party has revealed his identity, it is definitely impossible to fight him in public.
Even if he turned around and left without listening, that would still be unjustifiable. At least he would have been convicted of disobeying the court's orders.
With many thoughts flashing through his mind, Wei Tao slowly let out a breath of turbid air, calmed down his energy and blood, and walked towards the courtyard.
"Since it is the invitation from Inspector Lu, how can I refuse?"
He looked back at Qingying and said, "You guys wait outside for now, I'll be back when I'm gone."
After walking through the spacious courtyard and then through a long corridor, Uncle Lu, who led the way, finally stopped outside a quiet pavilion.
In the pavilion, a woman in white clothes and skirt was drinking tea.
She is slender and graceful, and at first glance she looks like a well-to-do young lady from a wealthy family.
But as soon as Wei Tao got closer, he sensed traces of dangerous aura, which kept escaping from the pavilion.
It was in stark contrast to how warm and moist she was when she visited the Taoist temple alone.
"After the long conversation with Deacon Wei last time, and what I learned from Capt. He, I have made detailed comparisons and in-depth thinking, and found a lot of valuable information. I must thank Deacon Wei for the clues he provided.
.”
Lu Zhihe put down the sapphire tea cup, smiled slightly, and said, "It's just that there are some contents in it that make me feel a little confused, so I invited the two warriors Guiguan over to inquire carefully. I also asked Deacon Wei not to mind."
"Uncle Lu, go and bring them here. Deacon Wei will take them away in a moment."
"Yes, old slave, I'll go over right now."
Uncle Lu bowed and left quickly.
Lu Zhihe refilled a cup of tea with a slight apology on her face, "When we just invited the people here, the two of them were not very cooperative. They didn't answer the questions in sync with each other, and they couldn't grasp the key points at all.
Therefore, I have no choice but to use some tricks on them. Deacon Wei had better explain clearly to the warriors under his command when he returns, so that they can understand who they are in the future and never make similar mistakes again."
After a while, a tall old man in commoner clothes came out from behind.
Each hand held a bloody body, leaving two long blood marks on the ground.
"They're just superficial wounds caused by a little punishment. If you go back and recuperate for a few days, you won't see anything."
Lu Zhihe looked at Wei Tao with a smile, "As for whether it will affect subsequent practice, these two heretical warriors have little potential even if they are not injured, so there is no need to consider this issue."
