Chapter 165 Girl, are you okay? An abandoned warehouse next to Niulan Street. Wang Qinian regretted following him at this moment. He wanted to see Cheng Jushu and confirm some details to support his guess. Unexpectedly, not only did he not see Cheng Jushu, but martial law was imposed as soon as he arrived here. He could not leave, so he had to stay and ambush the two women in bamboo hats. He was assigned to Group 3 and was placed on guard in a house on the north side. His legs became numb after squatting for most of the day. Wang Qinian was filled with more and more regret. It was so unlucky. He was fine before coming here, but now he couldn't get out. The most important thing was that he hadn't had lunch yet and was still hungry. I didn't plan to stay longer so I didn't send a message to my wife. Seeing that I didn't come home for dinner, my wife must be anxious, and Baba must be worried. The more Wang Qinian thought about it, the worse he felt. No, my legs are getting more and more numb, it’s so uncomfortable. He originally wanted to stand up and change his squatting posture, but as soon as he stood up, Wang Qinian felt the numbness in his thigh being pulled. The sudden pain made Wang Qinian couldn't help but let out a cry, and at the same time his body fell backwards. Wang Qinian subconsciously tried to support himself with his legs, but his legs were still numb and he couldn't move far. He didn't know how he pulled the numb muscle again and cried out "ouch" again.
His legs moved alternately in small steps, and he took four or five steps back, until his back suddenly hit an irregular hard object. Wang Qinian groaned, his legs were numb and he couldn't support his body, and he fell down unconsciously. During the process, Wang Qinian flapped his hands behind his back, grabbed something and quickly pulled it to stop himself from falling and avoid falling too hard on his butt. It turned out that what he was pulling was the cloth covering the cargo, and as he sat on the ground, he pulled the cloth off. This sudden change shocked all the colleagues in the room, and they all asked in a low voice if Wang Qinian was okay. Wang Qinian released the mask and quickly waved to his colleagues. "It's okay, it's okay, my legs are just numb and I can't stand for a while. I'm sorry to make you laugh." "Oh, what's so funny about that? I'm not happy about you saying that my legs are numb too." "You guys are just used to sitting and don't exercise enough. People like us who are often out on the field have no problem with our legs." "Bullshit, I don't believe your legs aren't numb." "It's numb, but I'm used to it. It's not a big problem. I can stick with it." "Old Wang, don't listen to them. Everyone's legs will get numb after squatting for a long time. It's normal. Just take it easy and it will be fine." Wang Qinian pinched his leg and smiled. "Thank you guys, I feel much better now." As he was about to stand up, a colleague suddenly exclaimed. "What's that behind you, Lao Wang?" Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads to look over. Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked behind him. After seeing this, Wang Qinian could no longer sit still and quickly stood up. It turned out that the irregular hard object he had just hit was the wheel of a crossbow. "This is…" The other members of the Supervisory Council in the room looked at each other for a moment and their expressions changed, and they all came over. One of them took a look and said.
"This is a crossbow cart. It's a weapon. How did it appear here?" Others have the same question. Wang Qinian suddenly turned his head and looked next to the chariot. There was also a covered object there that looked similar to the chariot. He pointed with his finger. "That one, is it also a rickshaw?" Everyone looked over and one person stepped forward decisively and tore off the mask. Well, it’s another lousy car. Everyone looked at each other and started moving, because there were many boxes of different sizes and lengths in the room. After opening them one by one, everyone was stunned. There were four long crossbow arrows for the crossbow chariots, and a rough count of the arm crossbows showed that there were at least dozens of them, three boxes of crossbow arrows, two powerful bows, several bows and arrows, two coils of trip ropes that were two fingers thick, and the two crossbow chariots, all of which were military equipment. After staring in amazement for a long time, someone finally reacted. It was the leader of their ambush team. "Quick! Go and inform Lord Zhuge." One person took the order and ran out quickly. Wang Qinian in the crowd was stiff with fear and anxiety in his eyes. Fortunately, everyone's attention was on the weapons at this time and no one noticed his abnormality. When Zhuge led the two people into the north room and saw the weapons, his pupils shook violently. the other side. Lin Gong felt a little confused when he received the message from the princess. The princess always urges him to ask for the token. Her control desire is too strong. Her worries about the long wait and the more trouble she has are all excuses. She just can't stand seeing him idle. Although he was complaining in his heart, Lin Gong still took the two disciples of Si Gu Jian to Zuixianju. There was actually no difference between going tomorrow and today. When passing by Niulan Street, Lin Gong asked the two women in bamboo hats with great interest where Cheng Jushu was imprisoned. …… In the afternoon, an exquisite pleasure boat was floating on the bank of Liujing River. Si Lili, whose graceful figure was wrapped in a black dress with dark gold sequins and intricate patterns, was now leaning on the soft couch in the bedroom and taking a nap. She has a slender neck, delicate facial features, dark eyebrows and eyes, and her waist-length hair is tied up with an exquisite headdress. The black dress makes her skin look particularly fair, and paired with silver earrings, she looks noble and elegant. At the same time, the layer of black gauze as thin as a cicada's wing covering the outside of the dress and the large exposed area at the neckline made her look mysterious and charming. The two opposite temperaments appeared in one person at the same time, which made her have a fatal attraction. It was also because she dreamed of something terrible. Si Lili frowned unconsciously, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. In a trance, the sounds of shouting and screaming filled my ears, and dreams and reality were intertwined together. By the time she was completely awakened from the nightmare, a long sword was already placed on her slender neck. The cold sword blade touched the skin, causing a natural physiological reaction. The hair stood up, the skin tightened, and a layer of fine bumps appeared.
Si Lili didn't dare to move. She looked at the woman in white in front of her with panic and fear in her eyes, and spoke in a trembling voice. "You, who are you?" The woman in white said coldly. "I heard that you have a token that can command the Cheng Jushu of Northern Qi. If you know what's best for you, hand it over quickly." Si Lili's heart skipped a beat and she was in disbelief. Very few people knew about the token, so how could it be leaked? What's worse is that now that the token is known to others, then my identity is also... No, the person in front of him only mentioned the token and nothing else. Perhaps his identity has not been revealed yet. Si Lili's thoughts raced, she frowned and spoke tentatively. "Cheng Jushu? From Northern Qi? I have never heard of him, let alone any tokens. From whom did you hear that I have any tokens? I am afraid you have been deceived by him." The woman in white said. "Stop playing dumb. Now that we can find you, we can be sure that you have the token. Hand it over quickly. If you keep playing dumb, I will kill you." Si Lili frowned and stared at the eyes of the woman in white in front of her for a moment. Although she was wearing a mask, she could still feel the coldness in her eyes. Feeling that the other party was a ruthless character who would kill without blinking an eye, she decisively gave in. "Okay, I do have such a token, but Cheng Jushu is far away in Northern Qi. Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it." The woman in white said. "Don't worry about that. Just hand over the token." At this time, Lin Gong, who had been silent behind her, finally turned around, looked at Si Lili and suddenly said something. "Cheng Jushu has been captured by me and is in my hands now. You can hand over the token now. If you say one more word of nonsense, you will die. If you don't believe me, just try it." As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in white cooperated and moved the sword closer to her neck. Si Lili looked over when she heard the voice, and a flash of shock flashed across her eyes. She knew this man and had his information in her hands, but she never expected that he would appear in her place, and it seemed that he was the leader. What shocked her even more was Lin Gong's words. Cheng Jushu was actually captured in Kyoto! He came to her to ask for the token, obviously wanting to use Cheng Jushu to do something. Si Lili immediately thought of the identity of Lin Gong, the Crown Prince's disciple. The conflict between the Crown Prince and Fan Xian had already spread throughout Kyoto. Could it be... Before she could think about it further, she felt the sword beside her neck move, and heard a voice urging her. "Token!" Since they were not coming for her, Si Lili had no psychological burden in handing over the token. After all, saving her life was the most important thing. "I'll give it to you right away." As she spoke, Si Lili glanced at the sword on her neck. "Excuse me, could you please move the sword first? The token is hidden in the dark, and I can't help you get it even if you hold me up." Lin Gong spoke.
"Let her take it." The woman in white took two steps back when she heard the sound. Although the sword had left Si Lili, it was still pointing at her. Si Lili smiled, turned over and got off the couch, pulled open the soft couch, squatted down and lifted up a piece of wooden floor. There was a secret compartment underneath, and there was a box in the secret compartment. Si Lili picked up the box and opened the lid. Inside lay a token with a strange shape and special patterns engraved on it. Si Lili picked up the token and handed it to the woman in white. "That monster is unruly and hard to tame. Only this token can make him obey. Since you are threatening me with your lives, I will give you this token." The woman in white took it without even looking at it and turned around and handed it to Lin Gong. Lin Gong carefully felt and looked at the token in his hand, and suddenly asked a question. "Who are you? What's so special about this token?" Si Lili paused and smiled. "Didn't the person who asked you to come to me to get the token tell you my identity? Since he didn't tell you, there must be a reason for not telling you. Do you really want to hear it?" Lin Gong remained silent, fumbling with the token in his hand. He squinted his eyes and looked at Si Lili, who was smiling but not saying anything, for a long time, then spit. "Walk." After saying that, he turned and left, and the two women in white immediately put away their swords and followed him. Until there was no one in front of her, Si Lili could no longer maintain her smile. She seemed to have been drained of all her strength and collapsed to the ground. I don't know how long it took, but there were chaotic footsteps outside the door, and then two men and four women dressed as servants rushed into Si Lili's room. Seeing Si Lili fall to the ground, several people were shocked and hurried over to help her. "Girl, girl, are you okay?" (End of this chapter)
