Yang Shu smiled when he heard the secret guard coming to report.
"No one found anything. They only found a secret passage that had been blocked."
Mingwei nodded: "Cousin is getting closer and closer to the goal."
As she said that, she was a little worried: "He was in Kangle Lane before, and your people could rush in if something happened. Now he is deep in the tiger's den, what should we do if something happens?"
Yang Shu glanced over and said, "You do care about him."
"He is my cousin!" Mingwei said, "My uncle's family is so kind to me. If something happens to him, how can I deal with them?"
Hearing her serious answer, Yang Shu was not interested and said: "I think he is very smart. When others use beauty traps, he will use beauty traps in return. Speaking of which, he is very suitable to be a secret agent!"
Mingwei was too lazy to talk nonsense and said to the little white snake: "Follow closely. If my cousin is in danger, come and report it early."
"Yes, sir."
…
Ji Xiaowu walked in the secret passage with one foot deep and one foot shallow. He was calm on the outside, but in his heart he scolded Mingwei until he was bloody.
The young hero promised to come out? But here he is, tunneling!
"Mr. Guo." Gui Niang's breathless voice rang in her ears.
Ji Xiaowu quickly squeezed out a smile and called Duofu: "You support Sister Guiniang."
Duofu glared at him dissatisfied.
Ji Xiaowu smiled flatteringly: "So many blessings, you saw it just now..."
Duofu said nothing and continued to move forward with Gui Niang in his arms.
After walking like this for more than half an hour, Qi Ping, who was leading the way, finally stopped: "Okay, let's rest here for now."
Ji Xiaowu poked his head over to take a look and found that his eyes were wide, with caves arranged one after another. He was confused: "Brother Qi, you actually dug such a big cave under the capital?"
Qi Ping said: "We didn't dig this out, it was there all along."
Seeing his confused expression, Gui Niang explained: "This was originally an underground waterway. When the late emperor came to Yunjing, he rebuilt it and it was abandoned."
Ji Xiaowu finally understood and thought, no wonder the government has never been able to catch them. Not to mention the cunning rabbits who usually have three burrows, there is such a secret hiding place.
He looked up and found that there were many caves here and there were many people living there.
While he was looking around, he suddenly heard a woman's cry for help.
Following the sound, I saw a woman running out of a cave, her clothes were half torn, and she didn't even have shoes on her feet.
She ran and cried. Soon, another man chased out of the cave. He grabbed her and cursed her, slapped her in the face, beat the woman until her cheeks were red and swollen, and dragged her back into the cave.
Ji Xiaowu was shocked at first, then furious. Just when he was about to speak out, Duofu had already taken the lead: "Stop!"
She ran over in a few steps and stopped the man: "What are you doing? Let her go!"
When the man saw her, he was surprised and said, "Hey, there is such a brave girl. She is pretty. Why haven't I seen her before?"
It was the first time that Duofu was looked at with such evil eyes, and he felt disgusted and angry: "I told you to let her go, do you hear me?"
The man laughed loudly: "It's okay to let her go. Are you here to accompany me?" As he said that, he stretched out his hand frivolously, trying to touch her face.
"stop!"
"Crack!"
Qi Ping's shout was delayed a step, and Duofu slapped the opponent's hand away and punched him.
The man stretched out his hand to block her, but didn't take it seriously. What power could such a petite girl have...
"Ah!" The next moment, he flew out and hit the wall hard.
Duofu said "poof" and helped the girl up: "Are you okay?"
The girl's face was so swollen that she could not speak. She looked at her with tears streaming down her face and nodded gratefully.
The man got up cursing and was about to retaliate when Qi Ping said again: "Didn't you hear me tell you to stop? Which court are you from?"
The man was stunned, and when he saw Qi Ping, his fierce expression immediately turned into a flattering smile: "Isn't this Hall Master Qi? I didn't see it just now, please wait a moment, I will handle this matter first..."
As he spoke, he wanted to call someone: "Where is the person? Arrest this girl quickly! Who cares? How did you let the person out?"
Unexpectedly, after shouting, no one was seen, only Qi Ping's face became gloomier.
"Shut up!" he shouted, "This is the person brought by this hall master!"
The man was startled and immediately slapped his mouth: "Young man has eyes but cannot see Taishan. I beg Hall Master Qi for mercy..."
Qi Ping shouted coldly: "Get out!"
"Yes, yes, get out of here, little one." Not daring to mention the girl even a word, he slipped back into a cave.
Ji Xiaowu looked extremely ugly: "Brother Qi, what's going on? This girl..."
Qi Ping did not answer, but smiled and said: "Brother Guo, don't blame me for not greeting you well. Come, come, this way."
Ji Xiaowu wanted to say more, but Gui Niang pulled him back and whispered: "Master Guo..."
Ji Xiaowu calmed down a little, and he really didn't want to worry about it now, so he smiled at her, shut up and followed Qi Ping into a cave.
The cave looked shabby from the outside, but when I came in, I realized that the furnishings inside were quite impressive. Although the furniture was not as good as the previous house, it was also extremely rare.
Qi Ping said: "Brother Guo, let's hide here for now."
Ji Xiaowu looked at the girl Duofu brought in and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Qi, why would your men do such a thing? This girl..."
Qi Ping sighed: "Brother Guo, I really envy you Luo City!"
Ji Xiaowu was puzzled: "Brother Qi, this is..."
"Brother Guo wants to ask, why did I ignore it just now?"
Ji Xiaowu nodded.
Qi Ping said: "It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but it's just that it's hard to take care of it. Your Guo family has the final say in Luo City, but the beggar gang in Beijing is much more complicated. The forces here cannot be explained in a few words. Back then I
I also wanted to take care of it, but it ended up causing a fight between the two gangsters."
He spread his hands and said, "I have no choice but to turn a blind eye now."
"But……"
"Life is not easy!" Qi Ping said, "Official officials are still searching for you, so Brother Guo will have to endure it here for a few days."
Seeing Ji Xiaowu's silence, he could only hold back his anger. Qi Ping smiled secretly and said, "Gui Niang, greet Brother Guo well."
He patted Ji Xiaowu's shoulder again: "Brother Guo, I have something else to do, so I won't say hello for now."
Then he took the people away.
Only Ji Xiaowu, Duofu, Gui Niang and the woman were left in the cave.
Ji Xiaowu looked at Gui Niang: "Sister..."
Gui Niang couldn't bear it. Thinking of Qi Ping's eyes just now, she could only explain: "Mr. Guo, I..."
"Are you from the same background?"
Gui Niang was silent and nodded.
"Did they abduct these women?"
Gui Niang nodded again.
Ji Xiaowu pounded the table angrily: "How could they do such a thing, I..."
"Mr. Guo," Gui Niang said softly, "now you know why Gui Niang was unwilling to leave with you before? Gui Niang... is too dirty..."
