536. Qi Ningyuan has a bold idea(1/2)
There was no light in the room, Ye Ying was lying on the bed, and Qi Ningyuan sat by the window, holding his breath and listening to the movements on the roof.
The slight sound seemed to be something wild cat ran past, and soon returned to calm again, and the needle could be heard.
Qi Ningyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he still sat in the same place without moving. After a long time, he heard Ye Ying ask him softly: "Master, what should I do now?"
"Now..." Qi Ningyuan sneered, "The person who should come has arrived has come, and he really knows how to pick it. If I guess correctly, the person who just approached must be Chen Zihuan. He came last time and had experience, so he won't do it rashly this time. Even if Chen Ji suspected that the body that Chen Zihuan brought back was fake, he would not be very sure, so he would definitely let Chen Zihuan come and catch Xin'er again."
"Fortunately, the master is cautious. I will let the lady and son-in-law leave tonight. If I leave tomorrow, I may not be able to leave." Ye Ying said, getting off the bed.
"It's time to leave early..." Qi Ningyuan seemed to be saying this to himself.
"What should I do next? Chen Zihuan has arrived in Wilson City. He should wait for me to take action when I am alone." Ye Ying said thoughtfully.
"That's right." Qi Ningyuan nodded, "Since that's the case, let's have fun with him."
September 10th.
Ji Hongyu and Han Chao said goodbye to Qi Ningyuan, who was pretending to be Lian Yu, and wanted to go home. However, Qi Ningyuan spoke up and asked them to leave tomorrow and hold a banquet at the city lord's mansion tonight to practice for them.
In one day, Ji Hongyu and Han Chao did not refuse and nodded.
On this day, something happened in Lotus City beyond Qi Ningyuan's plan, and an uninvited guest visited him.
At noon, Qi Ningyuan and Ye Ying, who were pretending to be husband and wife, were having dinner. When they received a report from the guard that an outsider asked for a visit, saying that he was a doctor, claiming that he could treat eye diseases for Lian Yu.
"What kind of person? Where did you come from? Where are you now?" Qi Ningyuan asked in Lian Yu's voice. Because most of the servants in the mansion were from the original, he didn't know that the masters in the mansion were all fake now.
"He is a short and fat old man. He looks quite old and has not yet arrived. I come here to ask the city lord for instructions." The guard said respectfully.
"The short and fat old man..." Qi Ningyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a shadow of a person appeared in his mind. He said, "Since he calls himself a doctor, he can treat me, please invite him into the city and take it to the living yard first and place it down."
"Yes, Lord City Lord." The guard took the order and quickly retreated.
Qi Ningyuan and Ye Ying were left in the room again. Qi Ningyuan had no appetite. He put down his chopsticks, but did not accept the hot soup handed over by Ye Ying. He shook his head and said, "You drink it yourself."
Ye Ying put the soup down, looked at Qi Ningyuan and asked, "Master, do you know who that person is?"
"I met a strange man on Xianluo Island before, I don't know if it was him." The person Qi Ningyuan thought of was Situ Yu. At that time, he was on Xianluo Island. He wanted to capture Shangguan Ling, who was left alone, as a hostage, and took Shangguan Ling to Tianyuan Continent. Unexpectedly, he was poisoned as soon as he fought. He was forced to jump into the sea and almost died. He couldn't come back from Xianluo Island. That night, he met a strange old man, who took action to detoxify him and saved him. The old man seemed to know his grandfather and even offered him a condition to let him leave Xianluo Island and not go again.
"What do you plan to do?" Ye Ying asked.
"That man saved me, but I always feel something strange about him." Qi Ningyuan looked inexplicably, "Xianluo Island is now completely under the control of that little flower. If the old man and Xiaohua were in the same group, why did he let me go? Could it be that he really had a relationship with my dead grandfather? But if he was not in the same group as Xiaohua, why did he ask me not to set foot on Xianluo Island again and act like he wanted to protect Xianluo Island? Then again, Lian Yu and Xiaohua are good friends, but the old man used medical skills to visit Lian Yu and proposed to treat eye diseases for Lian Yu. This shows that the old man didn't understand the relationship between Lian Yu and Xiaohua at all, and he didn't know that Lian Yu's eyes would have been cured long ago."
Ye Ying frowned: "If it was the old man the master mentioned, then the master thought that he had something to do with Miss Little Flower, or was it okay?"
"This is the strange thing. They seem to have a relationship, but they don't look like people all the way." Qi Ningyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There are too many doubts about such people, and we don't understand them. My subordinates think they should stay away from them." Ye Ying said seriously.
"You are right. He saved me. This is not important because he is not without his plan. But since he is here, it is better to test it out and see where he came from and whether it has anything to do with the Qi family. I have always lacked a master who knows medicine and drugs around me. If he can find out his background and use it for me, it would not be a bad thing." Qi Ningyuan said.
"But there is a problem in this way. If he is really a master and has treated his master, will he see through his master's disguise?" Ye Ying frowned and said.
Qi Ningyuan thought to himself: "This, I have to be careful. Let him leave for a few days first, and then I will talk about it when I think of a good solution, otherwise I will drive him away and not have a direct contact with him. Now, I must first determine whether he is the person I have met."
Not long after, a short and fat old man was taken by the guard to the lord's mansion in Wax City and moved into the living yard. The guard told him that the lord was very busy recently and would invite him to meet him when he had time.
Later, Lian Yu hid in the dark and saw the old man's back, he was sure that he was the person he was thinking of. After seeing the front, he found that he had changed his face, which was obviously disguised.
The man was indeed Situ Yu. Out of caution, Qi Ningyuan did not meet him, but just let him be treated well, staring at him and not allowing him to walk around casually, thinking that he would wait until Chen Zihuan was dealt with and sent Ji Hongyu and Han Chao away.
That night, Qi Ningyuan held a banquet, and Ji Hongyu and Han Chao were on the appointment very happily. Finally, the guests and hosts had fun and agreed that tomorrow, Qi Ningyuan would go to see Ji Hongyu and Han Chao leave in person.
That night, a pair of eyes in the dark looked at Qi Ningyuan entering the room, retracted his gaze, and left quietly.
"Young Master, when will we take action?" Chen Zihuan's subordinates asked respectfully. At this time, they were all hiding in an abandoned house in Wanwu City. Chen Zihuan was extremely powerful and above Qi Ningyuan, so they could come and go freely in Wanwu City's lord's mansion and were not worried about being discovered.
Chen Zihuan did arrive at Wasabi City on the night of the ninth day of the ninth month, but the direction he came from was the opposite of the direction where Lian Yu left, so he didn't run into it. Almost as soon as he came ashore at Wasabi City, Lian Yu left from the other side. If Qi Ningyuan had not insisted on letting Lian Yu take Qi Ningxin away early, they would definitely be targeted by Chen Zihuan. They might not be able to leave at that time, but it would definitely make things more complicated.
"I failed last time and did not complete the tasks assigned by my grandfather. This time I could only succeed, not fail. I had to take Qi Ningxin away alive, and nothing else was important. It seemed that it was safer to take action at night, but Lian Yu was always by Qi Ningxin at night, so it was not easy for us to succeed. They were more relaxed in their defense during the day. Just in time, Lian Yu was going to the city to send Ji Hongyu and Han Chao away. At that time, it would be a good opportunity for us to take action." Chen Zihuan said slowly.
September 11th.
At the time of the year, a melodious sound of piano came from the room, and the window was open. Ye Ying, who was pretending to be Qi Ningxin, sat alone by the window, with her gentle and charming eyebrows and eyes, and Qi Ningyuan was not seen.
A man quietly entered the room through the back window, looked at Ye Ying's slender back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a handkerchief appeared in his hand, floating behind Ye Ying, and suddenly reached out and covered Ye Ying's mouth and nose with the handkerchief!
Ye Ying closed her eyes and fell down softly. The visitor carried Ye Ying on her shoulder and jumped out of the back window.
Everything went smoothly, as Chen Zihuan expected. Because at this time, "Lian Yu" should be greeting Ji Hongyu and Han Chao on the coast outside the city. The place where Lian Ce lived was several yards away from here, and he could not hear the movement here. There were no secret masters around Lian Yu and Qi Ningxin's yards. Qi Ningxin did not know martial arts at all. However, she had hidden weapons to defend herself last time, and this time she did not have the chance to use hidden weapons when she could not detect someone approaching.
Chen Zihuan was wrapped tightly, wearing an iron mask on his face, carrying Qi Ningxin. As soon as he left the yard, he heard a shout: "No, someone has kidnapped the city lord's wife!"
Chen Zihuan's eyes shrank, and the next moment, he saw Ji Hongyu and Han Chao who should have left, appearing not far away at the same time as "Lien Yu" who should have seen them off on the coast.
"Lien Yu" looked anxious: "Xin'er! Where is Xin'er? Who is it? I can't see... Two city lords, have you seen who caught Xin'er?"
Ji Hongyu and Han Chao had already seen Chen Zihuan fly by from not far away. Hearing this, he flew up and chased after him. Ji Hongyu shouted loudly: "Where are the thieves running? The city lord comes with us!"
Qi Ningyuan followed Ji Hongyu and Han Chao and chased Chen Zihuan.
Chen Zihuan didn't know what was going on, why did such a big mistake in the plan? It was a good idea to take advantage of the absence of "Lien Yu". Everything went smoothly at the beginning. Unexpectedly, "Lien Yu" suddenly appeared, and even Ji Hongyu and Han Chao did not leave!
Qi Ningyuan's strength is now at the level of the city lord, similar to Ji Hongyu and Han Chao. Although Chen Zihuan's strength is a little higher than Qi Ningyuan, he is now carrying a person on his shoulders, and three masters who are similar to his strength are chasing behind him. All the masters who heard the noise in the Worm City surrounded him. There were already people blocking the road ahead. He sank in his heart and hesitated for a moment. Should he throw "Qi Ningxin" down and leave first. In the end, the decision he made was to use "Qi Ningxin" as a shield and protect him to escape by himself.
Under the siege, Chen Zihuan was stopped before he could run out of the Lord of the Wilder City Mansion. This time he came here and only brought a follower. He was watching their ship somewhere outside the city, ready to pick him up and leave at any time, and did not come with him, because if the plan goes well, it would be most convenient for him to act alone. But now, the result is obviously that the plan is not going well.
"Who are you? Let Xin'er go! If you dare to hurt her, I will definitely tear you into pieces!" Qi Ningyuan said coldly.
Ji Hongyu and Han Chao one after another, blocked Chen Zihuan's way with swords. Han Chao sneered: "Guangtian Huari wants to kidnap the city lord's wife of Wilderness City, so brave! No matter who you are, today is your death!"
Seeing the critical situation, Chen Zihuan felt a move in his heart, imitating Qi Ningyuan's voice and said loudly: "Everyone, I want to take my own sister away. Are you sure you want to stop me? Did Lian Yu tell you that he had killed me? It's fake! He just wanted to use you to deal with Shuo Xuecheng!"
Chen Zihuan's words made up casually in desperation actually couldn't stand careful consideration, but his voice and tone were enough to change Ji Hongyu and Han Chao's faces! Because Lian Yu clearly said that Qi Ningyuan was dead, why did the person in front of him look so much like Qi Ningyuan? Could it be that Qi Ningyuan was not dead at all, Lian Yu had been lying to them, and today's matter is just that Qi Ningyuan is coming to take his own sister away? Then what is Lian Yu's intention...
Although the real Qi Ningyuan had white cloth covered his eyes, he could vaguely tell who was wherever he was. Although he couldn't see clearly what Ji Hongyu and Han Chao's expressions were, he could think of them! Qi Ningyuan cursed in his heart, "This bitch Chen Zihuan" and said coldly: "Who are you? Don't pretend to be a ghost! Qi Ningyuan has long been dead. Do you deliberately imitate his voice and think you can deceive us?"
"If you are really Qi Ningyuan, take off your mask and show us!" Han Chao said coldly.
Chen Zihuan's heart sank. Of course, he could not take off the mask, because he was not Qi Ningyuan, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this, and it was even more impossible for him to predict in advance and disguise himself as Qi Ningyuan. He just suddenly had an idea, trying to pretend to be Qi Ningyuan and provoke the relationship between "Lien Yu" and Ji Hongyu and Han Chao, so he took the opportunity to leave, but he didn't expect that he would be unable to pretend so soon...
Seeing the more and more masters around him, Chen Zihuan realized that today's plan was about to fail, so he put "Qi Ningxin" down from his shoulders, intending to take "Qi Ningxin" hostage and use her to escape.
The shocking change was only in a moment! Chen Zihuan had just put "Qi Ningxin" on the ground. "Qi Ningxin", who was originally drooping his head and was unconscious, suddenly raised his head. He turned his wrist and had an extra dagger in his hand. A cold light flashed. Chen Zihuan suddenly widened his eyes and hurriedly dodged. Although the dagger that stabbed towards his neck was tilted and did not hit the vital point, it still hurt his throat and instantly blood flowed!
"Xin'er!" Qi Ningyuan shouted.
Ji Hongyu, Han Chao, and other experts from the Lian family all took action and hit Chen Zihuan. Ye Ying "stumbling" to Qi Ningyuan, grabbed Qi Ningyuan's arm, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Master, everything goes well."
A smile flashed in Qi Ningyuan's eyes, but now his eyes were covered with white cloth and others could not see it. He suddenly felt that pretending to be blind was also a very interesting thing. For example, now, he could stand aside with Ye Ying with peace of mind, listening to the sound of a group of masters siege Chen Zihuan, and vaguely see Chen Zihuan's embarrassing appearance.
Everything is in Qi Ningyuan's plan.
Qi Ningyuan made a decision with Ji Hongyu and Han Chao yesterday that day, and sent them away in person. However, when Ji Hongyu and Han Chao were about to set off, Qi Ningyuan sent someone to notify them, saying that he still had some things to talk to Ji Hongyu and Han Chao and let them set off later.
When Ji Hongyu and Han Chao were taken by Qi Ningyuan to discuss the matter with "Lien Ce", it was just right and they met Chen Zihuan who abducted "Qi Ningxin".
Ye Ying is not Qi Ningxin. She knows martial arts and is a master. So when Chen Zihuan entered the room, she certainly noticed it. She took the antidote to the drug in advance, deliberately pretending to be dizzy, and was taken away by Chen Zihuan. At the right time, she woke up and took a blow! Even if it was impossible to kill with one blow, it would cause great trouble to Chen Zihuan.
In fact, Qi Ningyuan ordered how Ye Ying took action and wherever he wanted to hurt Chen Zihuan.
Qi Ningyuan said that it is best to make Chen Zihuan unable to speak and cannot express his identity. In this way, even if the young master Shuoxuecheng died in Waxe City, everyone is "innocent", because no one has seen his true face, and he himself has never said his surname is Chen! At that time, the Ji Han family wants to marry Shuoxuecheng, and they can continue. Anyway, there is a saying that those who do not know are innocent. Can Chen Ji promote it and say that he sent his grandson to force abduct his married granddaughter?
Chen Zihuan was indeed speechless at this moment, and did not pay attention to where Qi Ningyuan and Ye Ying were. He was just trying to escape, but he was already in a mess.
Ji Hongyu and Han Chao became more and more courageous as they fought, and they were determined to take down Chen Zihuan. Other masters of the Lian family blocked all the retreat routes of Chen Zihuan. His neck was covered with blood. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, it would be difficult for him to remain rational now!
Qi Ningyuan shouted in front of him: "Lord Ji, Lord Han, I heard Xin'er say he was wearing a mask! He hit him on the mask and see who he is?"
Qi Ningyuan was very curious whether Chen Zihuan's face could see the light...
Ji Hongyu entangled Chen Zihuan, and Han Chao's sword had already stabbed Chen Zihuan in the face. Chen Zihuan tried his best to dodge, and several more wounds were added to his body.
At this time, Qi Ningyuan did not notice that there was an old pair of eyes not far away, staring at everything that was happening here.
It was Situ Yu. He glanced at Qi Ningyuan's back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes turned to Chen Zihuan who was besieged. The sword technique used by Chen Zihuan was the Piaoxue Sword of Shuo Xuecheng, but at this time he was seriously injured and his steps were floating, and his sword moves were already a little messy.
After hearing Qi Ningyuan's words, Han Chao also wanted to know who the person who wanted to kidnap "Qi Ningxin" in broad daylight was, so he was trying to put off the mask on Chen Zihuan's face. When the first crack appeared in the mask, Ji Hongyu's sword pierced Chen Zihuan's left arm at the same time.
"How is it?" Qi Ningyuan, whose eyesight is limited, asked softly.
Ye Ying said in Qi Ningyuan's ear: "It won't take long before we can see his true appearance."
"Look carefully and draw it down then." Qi Ningyuan said. He is still pretending to be blind and can't see clearly, but he is very interested in Chen Zihuan's appearance. He really wants to know what secret is Chen Ji's grandson who has been hiding for so many years and cannot see the light.
After Qi Ningyuan finished speaking, Han Chao let out a quick move. When Chen Zihuan was hiding, he suddenly reached out, grabbed the mask on Chen Zihuan's face, and took it off!
Ye Ying narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the face that Chen Zihuan finally showed. She looked very young, less than 20 years old. Perhaps because she was not seeing light for many years, her skin was very white, her facial features were outstanding, and there was a very small black mole under the corner of her left eye.
The weather is clear today. Although it is late autumn, the sun is still bright. It shines on Chen Zihuan's face and he doesn't feel any discomfort.
Situ Yu, who was hiding in the dark, looked shocked when he saw Chen Zihuan's face, and his hands trembled slightly. He had almost no hesitation and suddenly flew out. Before everyone could react, he had already grabbed Ye Ying's shoulder with one hand, carried Ye Ying away from Qi Ningyuan, and held a dagger in the other hand and pressed it against Ye Ying's neck, and said coldly: "Stop it all! Let him go!"
Everything happened in the flash of lightning. Qi Ningyuan didn't expect that when his plan to siege Chen Zihuan was about to succeed, someone came out to disrupt the situation. It was the weird old man he invited into the mansion yesterday!
"Xin'er!" Qi Ningyuan looked ugly, "Stop it all!"
Han Chao and Ji Hongyu saw that "Qi Ningxin" was arrested, and they both stopped, but they still surrounded Chen Zihuan and did not let him go.
Situ Yu didn't have time to disguise when he rushed out, but his face was fake now. He pressed his dagger against Ye Ying's neck, looked at Chen Zihuan with a deep look and picked up the mask on the ground and put it on his face, and said coldly: "Get out of the way, let us go!"
Chen Zihuan looked at Situ Yu. In fact, he didn't understand who the old man suddenly jumped out was, but this was a chance for him to escape and he had to seize it.
Ji Hongyu and Han Chao both made way out, and the masters of the Lian family also made way out. Chen Zihuan walked towards Situ Yu in a blunt manner and stood beside Situ Yu.
To be continued...
