In front of the square table in the room, Feng Wei glared at the people kneeling on the ground and scolded: "I asked you to come to respond, where did you go to respond?"
On the ground, more than a dozen people were hunched over, their heads buried in silence.
Next to them, Xia Chi stood in a blue robe.
He looked at the scene in front of him, was silent for a while, and then said: "We went to the West City Gate in disguise early in the morning, trying to sneak into the city and wait for an opportunity to respond. Unexpectedly, we ran into Xia Chengan and others."
"A group of them came in large numbers. We were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so we turned back."
Xia Chi explained, "Because I couldn't contact the second master at the moment, I couldn't respond to the first master in time."
Everyone kneeling on the ground secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his explanation.
Unexpectedly, Feng Wei glanced at him, and his eyes suddenly turned cold, "Xia Chengan left Jiangcheng as part of a plan to escape from prison. How could you not have known..."
This question is extremely oppressive.
Xia Chi calmed down and said calmly: "Last night, I entered Jiangcheng alone and tried to contact the second master. Unexpectedly, I found that the inn he was in was surrounded by informants. He was clearly exposed."
"He was exposed, why can I still come out?" Feng Wei didn't believe it, his eyes became more sinister, "Xia Chi, do you know why I was caught by Ji Zimo?"
Xia Chi was silent.
Feng Wei stood up slowly, with a cold smile on his lips, "Thanks to your precious daughter."
Xia Chi's expression also turned cold, "Master, are you doubting me?"
"Shouldn't you?" Feng Wei approached him, "Where else did you go last night?"
"I want to see my wife and children."
"Let's go and report the news!"
The two people faced each other, their eyes met, and the air was filled with the burning smell of gunpowder.
"If you didn't believe me, why did you need to save me in Fanshan?" Xia Chi asked word by word.
"I want to see how long you can continue to act?"
Feng Wei's gaze was like a sharp knife, cutting into Xia Chi's body, "It is undeniable that you have taught me a lot of things, and you have done a lot for Fan Shan and me."
"You and I are like the relationship between a master and a military advisor. We are both teachers and friends. We have had pleasant conversations over wine and candlelight at night. I really don't want to believe that it was you who betrayed me."
"Your wife and children are in Jiangcheng." Feng Wei tried to find a suitable reason to convince himself, "It was Ji Zimo who took them in. So, you betrayed me for them."
Xia Chi didn't say anything.
For Feng Wei, who was in a state of crazy criticism, he understood that the only thing he could do was not to explain it, leaving him unable to figure it out, and he was unable to draw a conclusion.
As long as it was delayed, he would still have a chance to survive.
"Here comes someone." Feng Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Tie him up and watch him. I want to trade him for someone else."
"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Two of the burly men stepped forward and twisted Xia Chi's arms, "Military advisor, I'm sorry."
Xia Chi was calm, looked at Feng Wei, and said calmly: "You won't succeed."
"No way?" Feng Wei smiled ferociously, "Qian'er has a hard mouth and a soft heart. If I tell her that you are in danger, she will definitely come to keep the appointment."
"No, I left her."
"You are her father after all." Feng Wei said with a bad smile, "She will come. She is here. Ji Zimo, who claims to marry her, do you think he will come?"
Xia Chi's face darkened and his eyes turned cold, "Now, you still have a chance to escape. If you lure them here, you will have no way to escape."
"Escape?" Feng Wei seemed to have heard a big joke, "Where should I escape?"
"For eighteen years, I have been on the run. What is Fanshan? Is it a home? Is it a cozy home? No, it is not."
Feng Wei smiled crazily, "That's a prison, the place where the current Ji family raised us."
"Now, in such a remote place, they are not willing to give it away and want to kill everyone. Do I still want to escape?"
"Hahaha..." He took out the dagger from his waist, took a few steps forward, and pressed it firmly against Xia Chi's neck, "Do you think I have ever believed you?"
The pain in her neck made Xia Chi frown.
Feng Wei was very satisfied with his performance and said with a low smile: "I watched you calling me brothers, I watched you lead your daughter to me, and I watched you display your poor acting skills in front of me."
"At that time, I was like a god from above, despising your every move and sneering in my heart."
His expression was stunned, and the light in his eyes dimmed a bit, "Xia Chi, your acting skills are so good that I got into the drama for a while. But fortunately, the drama was about to end, and I woke up."<
/p>
The blade under his hand moved forward an inch, and a flash of bright red immediately appeared on his neck. The bright red blood flowed along the blade and dripped on Xiachi's robe, like blooming swaying flowers of the other side.
Enchanting, dazzling and deadly.
Xia Chi frowned, his expression still stern, "If you don't believe me, that's fine. If you want to use me, just do it. I just hope that our master and apprentice can become close friends. You can listen to my advice and keep the green hills, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood."
Burn."
Feng Wei was stunned. He loosened the knife in his hand and stared at him coldly. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "Pull him down and watch him. Don't let him die."
"Yes."
After everyone left, Huang Da, his confidant, stepped forward, bowed his hands and saluted: "Master, Xia Chi went to Jiangcheng last night, and his whereabouts are unknown. He must have gone to see Ji Zimo. Today our plan will go wrong, and the second master will be arrested."
Catch, Xia Chi is clearly responsible for this, why should you show mercy?"
"The person I want to kill is Ji Zimo from beginning to end."
"You plan to use him to lure Ji Zimo? Can you succeed?" Huang Da was worried.
Feng Wei sneered, "That depends on how much love there is between father and daughter?"
He looked stern, turned around and said: "Act according to the plan, remember, the fewer people know about it before it happens, the better."
"Yes."
Feng Wei took out a wooden sign from his cuff, two fingers wide and narrow, irregular in shape, and murmured: "Second Master, I have seen that man's true appearance."
Huang Da lowered his head and answered truthfully, "I saw the person, but he was wearing a bamboo hat and couldn't see his true face. After he came back, the second master was very angry."
"I want to see him, you go and send the signal."
"Yes!"
……
At a quarter past noon, in the corner outside the west city gate, a ragged little beggar ran forward, hunched over, and saluted: "I have seen the young master, young lady."
Hu Tang opened the jade-handled fan in his hand and said lazily: "Tell me, where is he?"
The little beggar raised his head, his eyes bright, "I'm on Weeping Willow Street."
"So sure?" Xia Qianqian questioned.
"It's absolutely not wrong," the little beggar said confidently: "I have been living here since I was a child. I know exactly how many people are in each family, how many cats and dogs are in the house, let alone how many extra people there are." p>
"Have you seen his face clearly?"
"The leader has thick brows, a big nose, and triangular eyes." The little beggar blurted out.
