Chapter 361 The rescue begins
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi deliberately exposed his identity to Jing Xin. It was really a unique way to coax someone. Anyway, now he can start his rescue plan. What will he do next? Let's take a look together.
The next morning, Li Yi, who had successfully stolen the tower, quietly left the Jing family compound. He wanted to go home before Qu Xia got up, but just as he opened the door, Qu Xia's voice came from behind him: "Hey, my husband is back early! It seems that you have to work hard to coax those two girls?"
"Well, actually it's okay. It's just that Jing Xin kept asking me a lot of questions, so I couldn't get away for a while."
"Oh? How did she get so obsessed with her husband?" Qu Xia pushed Li Yi onto the bed and asked him to prove his innocence. The latter was forced to use his Vajra skills to mediate.
I don't know how long it took, Qu Xia wiped the sweat from her forehead, pushed open the door with satisfaction, hummed a little tune and went to the backyard to feed the silkworms, while Mr. Li collapsed on the bed and fell asleep...
After lunch, Lan Ze suddenly visited. At this time, Li Yi was still in the line with Zhou Gong, so he certainly couldn't show up. Naturally, the reception work fell on Qu Xia. The two sat in the front yard, drinking tea and chatting together.
"I've heard for a long time that the Saint of the Wu Gu Sect is an extraordinary tea artist. Today I saw that it was indeed amazing. She is really beautiful and her tea is delicious. No wonder so many officials like to go to Zhuqing Pavilion to taste tea."
"Mrs. Wei, you are too kind. This is the skill of cooking, so it can't be bad. However, sometimes this skill is not necessarily a good thing. There are always some unscrupulous and idle people who come to the building to cause trouble."
"The Saint is the woman of the High Priest of the Wu Gu Cult. Who would dare to mess with you?"
Lan Ze glanced at the bedroom and chuckled, "There are all kinds of birds in this big forest. There are always one or two who don't know how to live or die."
Qu Xia naturally understood what Lan Ze was talking about, but she knew even more clearly that Lan Ze had come to Wei Le on purpose, and that he must have made some new discoveries. You know, Qu Xia had been sent to assassinate Gu Zhou, and the Witchcraft Cult had also found the Qu family. If she hadn't been good at hiding herself, she wouldn't have gotten away with it.
What's more, this assassination was very strange, it looked like the Gu worm had saved Gu Zhou's life. Logically speaking, with the assassin's skills, it was impossible for him to miss when swinging the sword from behind. In addition, only the Gu Master died during the pursuit. All these signs showed that the assassin was targeting the Wu Gu Cult.
In Baidi City, the only one who has the ability and dares to take action, apart from the Qu family, is Wei Le who is lying in the room. Now the two most suspicious people have become husband and wife, and anyone would come to confirm it again.
Qu Xia smiled and said, "I know my husband. He just likes to mess around with other girls, but he only says it for fun." She thought Lan Ze would bring up the topic of the end of a woman's reputation, but it turned out that the women of the Wu Gu Cult didn't care about their reputation at all.
"Madam Wei, he didn't just talk, he actually did something to me!"
Qu Xia pretended to be angry and said, "How could this happen? Don't worry, Saint, wait until he wakes up and see how I will deal with him!"
Lan Ze smiled and said, "Madam Wei, you may not be able to control your man. We in the Wu Gu Sect have a kind of love Gu. If you let him eat it, he will obey you in everything from now on. Do you want to try it?"
"Love Gu? My husband is a great scholar, how could he not know if I used a Gu?"
Lan Ze smiled and said, "Let him take it when he is least prepared. Even Haoran Zhengqi can't do anything about this Gu! This is a new discovery!"
"If there is such a good thing, why don't you use it on your high priest?"
Lan Ze sighed and said, "Alas, I can't see him either. If I could, do you think I wouldn't need him? How about it, do you want him?"
Qu Xia glanced at the house and nodded, "Yes!"
Lan Ze smiled and took out a bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Qu Xia, who put it in her sleeve pocket and said with a smile, "Thank you, Saint. If this poison works, I will bring him to thank you in person!"
Lan Ze nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"
"We? Oh, I see."
"Why hasn't Master Wei woken up yet? I won't wait for him then."
"Why, is the Saint leaving?"
"I was just bored, so I came to listen to Master Wei's songs. Although he's not that good, he sings pretty well."
The corner of Qu Xia's mouth twitched slightly, and Lan Ze noticed this, then bowed and said goodbye. After Lan Ze left, Qu Xia came to the bed and whispered, "Husband, get up and drink some water!"
Li Yi jumped up from the bed and shouted, "I knew there was something wrong with you, woman! You really want to harm me!"
"Hey, why are you reacting so strongly?"
"What do you have in your hand?"
"This is the love Gu that Lan Ze made specially for you. It is said that even the righteousness will not react. Hey, how do you know it is a Gu?"
"Lan Ze? Damn it! I didn't go looking for trouble with her, but she came looking for trouble with me first! No, I'm going to settle the score with her right now!" Li Yi said, got out of bed and put on his clothes.
"You haven't told me how you found out!"
This time it was indeed not the reaction given by righteous energy, but the Dharma. After entering the Vajra Realm, continuing to practice Buddhism will condense a golden body for the Dharma image on the spiritual platform. This golden body has the ability to distinguish between good and evil. When the golden body is completely solidified, it is time for promotion.
Li Yi certainly couldn't tell Qu Xia this secret, so he casually said, "Do you know how Wu Fu's crisis warning came from?"
"Isn't the seventh level of soul refining the realm about cultivating the soul? Isn't crisis warning the reaction of one's own soul power to the surrounding things? Those who practice martial arts know this."
"That's right. My soul power is much stronger than that of ordinary warriors, so my crisis warning is also one level higher than yours. Once there is malicious intent, I will react. It's called Observation Haki."
"Observation Haki? What's the name for this?"
"You won't understand even if I tell you. It can be simply understood as predicting the future, but the time is very short. You will naturally understand it when your soul becomes strong enough. I'm going to settle the score with Lan Ze. You just stay at home." After saying that, he walked out, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw Xiang Ying and Jing Xin getting out of the car.
"What are you two doing?"
"Since we will meet sooner or later in the future, we have to come to Qu Xia to set some rules!" Xiang Ying said seriously: "Jing Xin and I have already discussed it. I will be the legal wife of the Wei family!"
Li Yi looked at Jing Xin, who gave him a helpless look. Li Yi sighed, turned around and walked back.
Qu Xia smiled and said, "My husband, you should take care of your own business. I will take care of the household affairs myself."
"Nothing else. I'm afraid we'll fight again! I also have something to say. Let's all go inside and have a good chat behind closed doors as a family." So Xiang Ying and Jing Xin stepped into the courtyard and walked into the simple study.
Xiang Ying looked around and asked in confusion: "Qu Xia, you were really kicked out by your family. Is it ok to live in a place like this?"
Li Yi glared at Xiang Ying and said, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. I don't live here!"
Jing Xin quickly added: "Brother Wei, Xiang Ying didn't mean that. She just feared that you would be wronged."
Qu Xia started speaking in yin and yang: "There's nothing I can do. My husband's place was originally okay, but I don't know who demolished it."
Xiang Ying slammed the table and stood up and shouted, "That's the house I bought. I can tear it down however I want. What's it to you? I'm telling you, Mr. Qu..."
Li Yi stretched out his hand to interrupt Xiang Ying and said sternly: "Shut up, what happened in the past is in the past, why mention it again. Before you start arguing, let me tell you something serious first, so that we don't get into a fight later, and you won't be able to listen.
I have now confirmed that my sister Yuehua is imprisoned in the Prince's Mansion. Saving her is one of the reasons why I came to Chu. Even the king can't stop me from doing this. Do you understand?"
The three nodded.
"The next plan is this: Xiang Ying, before I gain the favor of the king, you will continue to patrol the streets with Mobai, letting everyone in the city know that Mobai is your dog. The ultimate goal is to send Mobai to the prince's mansion.
Firstly, I heard that Yuehua was being bullied there, so I asked Mobai to go there to protect her. Secondly, if I can't handle this matter properly, I will definitely rush into the Prince's Mansion to rescue her, and I need Mobai to ensure Yuehua's safety."
"Brother Wei, I know you two have a deep relationship as siblings, but if you force your way into the prince's mansion, there will be no way to end it."
"That's the worst outcome. I'm just expressing my feelings. If Yuehua can't be saved, I'd rather not stay in this Chu country. Do you understand? So you must support saving Yuehua unconditionally."
The three of them nodded again.
Li Yi continued, "Mu Qing has good relationships with people. Among the three families, your Jing family has the closest relationship with the Crown Prince. Now that the Crown Prince is not at home, it is inconvenient for a man like me to move around, so I want you to find a way to get the Crown Princess to invite me to the Crown Prince's Mansion. If there is really no other way, you can say that I am interested in serving him."
Jing Xin asked doubtfully, "Does Brother Wei really want to join the Crown Prince?"
Li Yi chuckled and said, "To surrender to him? Humph, if I knew what Yuehua had suffered at his hands, I would have torn his head off first without the Wei army taking action! As for my lady, you must hurry up and implement the things I told you to do before."
"It's already being done. The wood has already been brought into the city."
"Okay, that's it. Now let's talk about family matters. This legal wife..."
Qu Xia interrupted Li Yi and said, "My husband, you don't have to worry about the affairs between us sisters. Just let me handle it. Don't you still have to go find Miss Lan Ze?"
Jing Xin was surprised and asked, "Why are you going to look for Lan Ze again?"
"Yuehua is poisoned by a Gu. She is the strongest fighter of the Wu Gu Cult in Xijing. If I want to remove the Gu from Yuehua, who else can I turn to if not her? Besides, I still have a score to settle with her! Oh, where's the love Gu? Give it to me!"
Qu Xia handed the bottle to Li Yi, who said, "Can you really handle it?"
"Don't worry, sir. I know my limits and won't hurt them."
Li Yi looked at Jing Xin and Xiang Ying, shook his head and said, "Okay, but don't tear down the house again!"
"Don't worry, my husband, let's get down to business." Qu Xia urged Li Yi to go out, then closed the door casually.
Xiang Ying moved the laurel wood sword at her waist away and gave Jing Xin a look, and the latter immediately moved aside to avoid getting hurt if a fight really broke out.
Qu Xia turned around and glanced at Xiang Ying, then said to Jing Xin, "What does Sister Mu Qing say?"
Jing Xin quickly waved her hands and said, "I'm not going to compete with you two, so don't bother with me!"
"Well, Xiang Ying, what do you want?"
"Since Wei Le insists on marrying three, let's set the rules today. I was the first one to discover him, so I have to be the legal wife!"
"It's true that you discovered the person, but I was the first one to pass through the door, so it's not your turn."
"You don't even have your parents' permission or the matchmaker's words, how can you be considered married! He has met my second grandfather and my mother, and is recognized by my Xiang family!"
"What's the use? He has met all the elders in my clan and they all agree with our marriage. What's the point?"
Jing Xin interrupted: "You were kicked out of the house..."
Qu Xia glared at Jing Xin, and the latter immediately stopped talking.
Xiang Ying sneered, "Don't scare Jing Xin. She is timid and afraid of you, but I am not! She is right. Since you have been kicked out of the house, you are not married in a formal way and it doesn't count!"
"My husband and I are already husband and wife, so what does it matter if it counts?"
"It's great just because you slept through it!"
Although Jing Xin knew what was going on, she and Qu Xia were sworn enemies after all, so she couldn't stand her arrogance and interrupted, "That's right, I also slept with Brother Wei..."
