Dafeng's Night Squad

57 Kidnapping (1)

Xu Qi ‘an received a warm welcome from Song Qing. The two of them sat at the table, holding fragrant tea and having a friendly conversation.

to be honest, I’m a little suspicious of you, ” Song Qing spat and said, “”I’ve checked all 18 generations of your family over the past few days,”

Was it really appropriate to say in front of him that he had investigated his eighteen generations of ancestors ... Xu Qi ‘an was not surprised. He smiled and asked, “”How’s the investigation?”

“It’s too clean,” Song Qing shook his head and didn’t continue on this topic. He took out a stack of rice paper and handed it over, “”I’ll show you my recent research.”

Xu Qian thought to himself,’I’ve already made up a story about the wandering master, but you’re not asking ...’ You tech geeks don’t care about these things at all.

He took the manuscript, glanced at it, and almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

In addition to the theory of plant grafting that he told Song Qing, this fellow also drew inferences and made several cases with his divergent thoughts. For example:

Man and horse grafting.

There were many advantages. For example, Da Feng would no longer need to consider the resources of warhorses, and the soldiers would not have to worry about not having good warhorses. “Because we are mature soldiers, we can be warhorses ourselves ...

Another example was to capture bird-type demons and breed them with humans, creating half-demons that could act as Air Forces.

Devil Lady, please understand ... Bah, reproductive isolation ... Xu Qi ‘an put down the paper and calmed down. He said,”I’ve come to the Directorate of Celestials to ask for senior brother song’s help.”

“Just say it.”

“You should know that I have offended Assistant Minister Zhou.”

“Caiwei told me.” Song Qing put down his teacup and said sternly, ” I’m sorry, but I can’t help you. The Directorate of Celestials doesn’t interfere in court politics. His Majesty doesn’t allow it. Besides, an Assistant Minister with real power is already beyond my ability.”

senior brother song, don’t worry. What I need you to do is simple ... Xu Qi ‘an shared his idea.

that’s impossible, ” Song Qing rejected directly, “”I’m an upright and honest man, I would never do such a thing.”

Xu Qi ‘an thought for a while and said guiltily,”I didn’t think it through ...” Senior brother song, let’s continue talking about your grafting theory. With all due respect, it’s impossible to succeed.”

Song Qing frowned and sat up straight, adopting a serious attitude of an academic discussion.

“I’m sure you know what you’re doing. The cat that must be kept in the glass bottle is an example. However, you must be confused as to why you failed and what the reason was.”

Song Qing leaned forward and his breathing became rapid. He stared at Xu Qi ‘an with his eyes wide open.”You know about it?”

I didn’t participate in the research, ” Xu Qi ‘an said. I don’t know what the real reason is, but I can provide you with a theoretical basis.

Theoretical basis?

What song Qing lacked the most was theoretical basis. After all, a Grandmaster who founded a sect was rare, and alchemy was broad and profound. If he wanted to continue advancing, the support of theoretical knowledge was indispensable.

Xu Qi ‘an looked at Song Qing’s bright eyes and said slowly, ”

Have you heard of the periodic table of elements? ”

What is the periodic table of elements? What does this have to do with my experiment? 10,000 question marks flashed across Song Qing’s mind.

His breathing became more and more rapid, and he felt that he was about to touch the door of truth in alchemy. As a fanatic of alchemy, he was so excited that every hair on his body stood up.

Before he could ask, he heard Xu Qi ‘an say,”The principle of alchemy is equivalent exchange ...”

.....

The mighty Marquis’s mansion was located on the inner city’s qifu Street. This Street was the territory of the nobles. Along the way, there were only Marquises, counts, and Dukes.

The Weiwu Marquis was a hereditary title, and it had risen in the battle for the throne 300 years ago. He had inherited his position to this day, so he didn’t actually have much power left.

The side door opened, and a young girl with a slightly round face walked out, surrounded by maidservants and retinues. She was wearing a gorgeous silk dress, with a skirt that reached her heels, and embroidered shoes were faintly visible as she walked.

At the age of 16 or 17, she had a pretty face, a pair of bright eyes, a proud temperament, and the flying spirit between her brows added to her aura, which was very attractive.

Zhang Yuying entered the palanquin at the entrance. The palanquin driver carried the palanquin and slowly walked in the direction of Chenghuang Temple.

Today, she was going to the city God Temple to offer incense, eat vegetarian food, and then go to uncle Wen Yuan’s mansion to find her close friends to drink tea and chat.

They would read the forbidden books that were secretly circulating in the ladies ‘boudoir and chat about which family’s young master had reached the age suitable for marriage. They would comment on the outstanding students who passed this year’s fall quarter examinations and guess if they would be able to enter high school next year’s spring examinations.

Perhaps his son-in-law was also inside.

After walking two streets, the servant girl following the palanquin suddenly heard a commotion.

For some reason, the two carriages behind them lost control. The coachman grabbed the reins tightly and waved the whip with a terrified expression.

“Get out of the way. all of you. get out of the way ...”

The pedestrians scurried in all directions to hide.

“Quick, stop the carriage!” The maidservant turned pale with fright. She ordered her retinue to intercept the carriage while ordering the sedan-bearer to Dodge.

The retinue didn’t have enough people and could only intercept one. The other one hit two sedan carriers and the sedan instantly flipped over.

The remaining two porters and maidservants instinctively tried to save themselves and dodged to the side. The scene instantly became chaotic.

After a short period of chaos, the two carriages continued to run away. The maidservant got up in a hurry and ran to the palanquin to check.

“Second miss, second miss, how are you?”

No one answered.

The servant girl’s heart sank. She suddenly opened the curtain and was stunned. After a few seconds, she screamed, ” second miss is missing!!

The palanquin was empty.

......

In a certain courtyard in the inner city.

Zhang Yuying knew that she had been kidnapped, although she did not know who it was.

She had been awake for a while. After her initial headache was relieved, she had been in a state of fear.

...

As the Wei Wu Marquis’s concubine’s daughter, her treatment was only slightly worse than the DI daughter, far better than the other sisters. Her father and mistress loved her very much, and the DI daughter of both her elder sister and cousin had an extremely good relationship with her.

She had lived a life of luxury and was pampered. When had she ever encountered such a thing?

Her surroundings were silent, her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth. She was extremely scared.

“Swish!”

Outside the courtyard, the sound of the door opening could be heard, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Zhang Yuying’s heart instantly tensed up. Fear exploded in her heart. She did not know what she was about to face, but it was definitely not a good thing.

hey, ” the footsteps stopped outside the house, and someone laughed and said, ” this woman is really beautiful. I just secretly checked her goods. She’s beautiful!

“You’re so cheap ...” The other person paused and added, “”You didn’t even ask me to come along.”

Zhang Yuying was embarrassed and angry, tears welling up in her eyes.

The two figures continued their conversation.

“She’s still a Virgin.”

...

“Nonsense, the second daughter of the Weiwu Marquis is still married.”

Zhang Yuying was shocked. They knew who I was and that my father was the Weiwu Marquis. How dare they kidnap me?

This meant that the mastermind behind this was not an ordinary person.

“How do you think young master Zhou will deal with this woman? although she is an outstanding beauty, it doesn’t seem safe to keep her.”

“Heh, you’re thinking too much. At most, young master Zhou will play with it for a while. When he’s tired of it, he’ll strangle it and bury it in this courtyard. Who knows?”

“When young master Zhou is tired of playing with her, let’s have a few sips of the soup. This woman’s skin is soft and tender, much more beautiful than the women in the brothel.”

“That’s right, if it wasn’t for young master Zhou wanting to try something new, we would have done her right now.”

“Who asked him to be the son of the Vice Minister of Revenue? let’s go, let’s go and drink.”

“That’s not good, is it?”

it’s almost dusk. We’ll come back after we buy some wine.

The sound of footsteps faded away, followed by the sound of the courtyard door closing. The two seemed to have gone out for a drink.

Young master Zhou? The son of the assistant Minister of Revenue?

The image of a young man in a brocade robe flashed across Zhang Yuying’s mind as she recalled what had happened during the Lantern Festival last year.

He was still thinking about her ...

I’m tired of playing ... He drank some soup ... Burying the corpse in the yard to destroy all traces ... The young lady who had been raised in a rich family and carefully cared for was so scared that she was trembling all over and tears flowed out of her eyes.

“Wuwu ...” She tried her best to make a sound as she twisted her limbs in an attempt to break free from the binding.

Suddenly, he noticed that the rope around his wrist had loosened a little.

Zhang Yuying suddenly froze, then quieted down. She no longer made any movements, but her hands were twisting hard.

After an unknown period of time, the delicate skin on her wrist was torn from the friction, and she felt a burning pain. She finally opened the ropes.

She immediately sat up, untied the rope on her feet, and tiptoed to the door of the room. She listened patiently for a moment, and after making sure that there was no one in the courtyard, she carefully walked to the courtyard.

After looking around for a while, she gritted her teeth and ran at a speed that she had never achieved in her life. She rushed to the door of the courtyard and pulled the door bolt.

The door was locked from the outside.

“Wuuu ...” Miss Zhang let out a cry of despair.

.....

On the street opposite the courtyard, Xu Qi ‘an was holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, and Xu niannian was standing beside him.

“You’re good at dirty talk.” Xu dalang provoked Erlang out of habit.

Erlang ignored him and looked at the gate of the courtyard,”Will she not be able to come out? Why did you lock the door?”

“A strong desire to live will stimulate one’s potential. Believe me, she will be able to come out. Just climb the wall.” Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of the noodles and explained in a low voice, “”The traces of not locking the door are too obvious.”

This small courtyard was a private house that Zhou Li had bought outside. There was a Pretty Woman living in the house. Now, the woman and the maidservant in the courtyard, a total of four people, were all locked up in the mirror by Xu Qi ‘an.

The small Jade Mirror could contain objects and living things. Xu Qi ‘an had tried it on the servants at home.

If it wasn’t for that mirror, the plan to kidnap miss Zhang would have been extremely difficult, and it might have even gone for wool and come home shorn.

At this moment, the two of them saw a head pop out from the wall. It was Zhang Yuying, whose hair was in a mess.

After carefully looking around for a while, he climbed over the wall and jumped down.

She seemed to have sprained her ankle as she lay on the ground for a long time without moving. After a long time, she cried and got up. She held onto the wall and jumped as she escaped to the street.

As a young lady from a wealthy family who lived a life of luxury, she had suffered a great grievance to be able to do this.

They went out to buy wine and would be back at dusk ... She looked at the setting sun and knew that she was really safe now.

Perhaps they would be caught up after running a short distance, or perhaps they would run into each other after a few steps.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a group of armed Imperial saber guards passed by.

Zhang Yuying, who was afraid of encountering kidnappers or being caught by them on the road, seemed to have seen her Savior and greeted them with tears.

Before the Royal sword guard could pull out his sword, he screamed, ” I’m the daughter of the Weiwu Marquis. I’m being held hostage. Please save me.

The Royal saber guards looked at each other and immediately surrounded him.

The surrounding commoners stopped to watch. The leader of the Imperial saber guard asked, “”Who kidnapped you?”

“It’s Zhou Li, the son of Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Revenue.” Zhang Yuying broke down and cried.

Thump thump thump ... The drums of the curfew were sounded at the same time.

Xu Qi ‘an put the bowl on the side of the street and said, ” let’s go. We’ll find an inn to rest in. We’ll go home tomorrow and wait for news.
