Fire Captain

"Aunt... Aunt... this... Master Qian, what's going on?" When Bai Ziyang came to visit Zhu Yuchan, he saw Zhu Yuchan lying at the door as soon as he entered the yard, and Qian Kui was holding a jade cicada carved out of jasper with a silk scarf in a daze.

Bai Ziyang hurried forward to help Zhu Yuchan up, and saw that her palms were black and her lips were purple, which were obvious signs of poisoning. Without paying attention to Qian Kui who was in a daze, Bai Ziyang raised his hand and quickly pressed the Quchi and Jianjing points on Zhu Yuchan's arm to stop the spread of the poison.

Qian Kui also came to his senses at this time. Seeing that Bai Ziyang was treating Zhu Yuchan, and knowing that Bai Ziyang's medical skills were superb, he did not go forward to disturb him, but stood aside, ready to help at any time.

Bai Ziyang took out the detoxification pill he had made, which could cure all poisons without exaggeration. He poured out a pill and fed it to Zhu Yuchan, but found that Zhu Yuchan had already lost consciousness and was unable to swallow. Qian Kui stepped forward and lightly pressed the Tiantu point on Zhu Yuchan's throat, pressing it three or four times in a row. Finally, Zhu Yuchan's throat moved and she slowly swallowed the pill into her stomach.

Bai Ziyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this. He looked up and motioned Qian Kui to help Zhu Yuchan onto the couch and sit cross-legged. Bai Ziyang sat behind her, placed his palms on the key points on Zhu Yuchan's back, and slowly injected the inside into Zhu Yuchan's body. Qian Kui saw Zhu Yuchan's face turn from white to red, and suddenly a mouthful of black blood spurted out. He knew that it was Bai Ziyang who forced the toxins out of Zhu Yuchan's body, and he felt relieved.

Bai Ziyang got off the ground and saw Qian Kui carefully letting Zhu Yuchan lie down. Only then did he have time to ask, "Master Qian, how did my aunt get poisoned?" (When Qian Chong called Qian Kui his foster father, he did not call Zhu Yuchan his foster mother. He did not know why, so Bai Ziyang called Zhu Yuchan his aunt but did not call Qian Kui his uncle)

Qian Kui stared at Zhu Yuchan without blinking, and said without raising his head: "When I saw Yuchan, she had already fallen to the ground due to poisoning..."

"Then... this jade cicada?" Bai Ziyang asked.

Qian Kui said, "Today, a woman suddenly came to visit Yuchan and said she was an old friend of hers. I guess she gave it to your aunt!"

Bai Ziyang frowned and asked, "Where is this woman now?"

Qian Kui said: "Go ask Chong'er!"

Bai Ziyang looked at Qian Kui who was looking at Zhu Yuchan with sharp eyes and said speechlessly: "......Okay!" He turned around and went out to look for Qian Chong.

"Oh, you mean Madam's old friend... Her name is Chuchu. Both her parents have passed away, and she is now living with her uncle. Madam wanted to keep her at home. I think she is saying goodbye to her relatives now. I will pick her up tomorrow..." Bai Ziyang felt a little toothache when he saw Qian Chong's amorous expression.

When Bai Ziyang and Dieyi talked about this matter when they returned to the restaurant, he saw that Dieyi was a little distracted. Bai Ziyang understood that Zhu Yuchan was poisoned because of Han Jie's revenge...

"Boss, give me two pounds of good wine!"

On this day, when Bai Ziyang was watching the store as a part-time shopkeeper, Qianxun rushed in and slammed the table and shouted.

Bai Ziyang looked up and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Where have you been, Miss Qian?" The waiter came over to help, but Bai Ziyang waved his hand and told him to go do something else.

Qianxun leaned her elbows on the counter and said, "Don't mention it, it's still that stupid boy... He's so stupid that there's no cure!"

Bai Ziyang personally took a bottle of good wine, handed it to Qianxun and said, "Are you talking about Xun Rizhao? Wouldn't it be a waste if I gave this wine to you guys?"

Qianxun grabbed the wine jug and said with a happy smile: "It won't be wasted, this is what I'm going to give to my big brother!"

Bai Ziyang deliberately said: "Isn't I your eldest brother? Oh, there's no need to show your respect to me! How can I be so embarrassed..."

Qianxun rolled her eyes and said with a look of "forgive me". Bai Ziyang said with a smile: "Miss Qian also recognizes someone as her elder brother? This is really a rare and bizarre thing. Who exactly is this elder brother of yours?"

Qianxun lay on the counter and hooked her finger at Bai Ziyang. Bai Ziyang came closer and heard Qianxun say mysteriously: "My big brother is the famous bounty hunter Xuehen, the Snow Knight... and we are going to do something big! Do you want to join us? Count you in?"

After listening to this, Bai Ziyang stood up and looked at Qianxun with a caring look and said, "It's okay for Hero Xue, but what big things can you two do? Forget it, don't take me with you..."

Qianxun grabbed Bai Ziyang's collar in anger and said, "How can you look down on me? There are so many refugees in the capital, and Yang Guozhong dares to make a fortune from the national crisis. I tell you, we are going to rob the rich to help the poor, and rob Yang Guozhong's small treasury..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ziyang immediately covered Qianxun's mouth and whispered, "My little aunt...how dare you shout about this?" As he spoke, he looked around. Fortunately, there were not many customers in the restaurant so early in the morning.

Qianxun patted Bai Ziyang's arm. After Bai Ziyang let go of her hand, Qianxun said proudly, "How about it? Do you want to join us?"

Bai Ziyang asked: "Which day?"

Qianxun said: "It's not certain yet. I have sent people to inquire. I will inform you when there is news..." After that, she patted Bai Ziyang on the chest, picked up the wine jug and turned away.

Bai Ziyang shook his head and sighed, "What a hassle..." But he didn't notice the door curtain shaking behind him...

Sure enough, two days later, a little beggar brought Bai Ziyang a letter from Qianxun. After receiving the letter, Bai Ziyang asked the waiter to look after the shop and went out. But what he didn't know was that after he left, Dieyi changed her clothes and followed him quietly.

Ever since he saw Qianxun and Bai Ziyang talking and laughing the day before yesterday, he didn't know what the two of them talked about, but Han Dieyi felt uncomfortable for some reason. Not to mention the indescribable annoyance, today when he saw Bai Ziyang going out alone, he thought of his "secret talk" with Qianxun that day and followed him unconsciously.

When Bai Ziyang reached the dock warehouse, he saw Qianxun and the other two hiding on the side. He quietly patted her from behind, scaring her so much that she slapped him back. Bai Ziyang raised his hand to block Qianxun's attack and whispered, "It's me!"

Qianxun said angrily: "You scared me to death!"

Bai Ziyang said: "Relax, don't be so nervous!"

Hearing their voices, Xun Rizhao and Xue Hen also turned around. Xun Rizhao smiled and said, "Hey, Master Bai, you're here too?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Brother Rizhao, you don't have to be so polite. I feel a lot of pressure when you keep calling me hero..."

Xun Rizhao scratched his head, not understanding what Bai Ziyang meant, but he still followed suit and shouted, "Okay then, Brother Bai!"

Bai Ziyang turned around and saw Xue Hen looking at him. He couldn't help but cup his hands and said, "Hello again, Hero Xue?"

Xuehen smiled and said, "Since Brother Bai is so polite, should I also call you Hero Bai?"

Bai Ziyang quickly laughed and waved his hand.

Bai Ziyang and Xue Hen actually knew each other for a long time before. This world of martial arts is not big, but it is not small either. Both of them are chivalrous and kind-hearted people. They happened to meet each other several times when they saw injustice and helped each other. They already had a sense of mutual appreciation.

Before everyone could reminisce about the past, Xun Rizhao pointed to something not far away and said, "Here they come, the grain ship is coming. What should we do now?"

Xuehen said, "Keep an eye on Master Ji, let's go!"

As the four of them were talking, they slipped into the warehouse from the back and saw the warehouse full of grain, as well as the government silver for disaster relief hidden in the grain. Qianxun and Xuehen were furious. The reason why Bai Ziyang was not as angry as them was that he already knew everything. As for Xun Rizhao, he was... careless?

Xun Rizhao said: "Then we will prevent his silver from being transported onto the ship!"

Qianxun said: "Just us? Three and a half people?"

Xun Rizhao turned to Qianxun and asked, "What do you mean?"

Qianxun said anxiously, helplessly and angrily: "You can only count as half in a fight!"

Xue Hen said confidently, "Don't worry!" Then he took the three of them out of the warehouse and sounded a flare.

Xun Rizhao asked, "Brother, who are you notifying?"

Xue Hen said: "Notify someone who can kill Yang Guozhong!"

Xun Rizhao said with relief: "So you have been prepared for this, big brother!"

However, Bai Ziyang looked at the people who surrounded them and said, "The people who want to kill us have also been notified! I hope your people can come quickly!"

Qianxun said: "Why? Are you afraid of death?"

Bai Ziyang rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, I'm so scared!" Then he kicked a man who was slashing at him with a knife, and everyone started fighting immediately.

Unfortunately, among the three there is a half-baked Xun Rizhao, whose martial arts don’t work when they should. He is simply the Tang Dynasty version of Duan Yu… Bai Ziyang and the other two had to fight with the enemy while protecting Xun Rizhao to prevent him from being hacked to death!

Xun Rizhao was knocked into the warehouse by someone. Qianxun was about to be hit by a knife because she couldn't dodge in time to save him. Bai Ziyang hurriedly stepped forward and pushed them both away. When he was ready to be injured, he suddenly heard two ding-ding sounds and saw the man holding the knife covering his eyes and falling down the stairs.

Bai Ziyang turned around and saw a masked man in black jumping into the crowd. It was obviously a woman, and a woman he was very familiar with. Bai Ziyang casually chopped one down, then came behind the woman in black and said, "Why are you here?"

The woman in black didn't say anything, she just waved her weapon. Bai Ziyang grabbed her and said, "It's dangerous, go back!"

Hearing the anxiety in Bai Ziyang's tone, the woman said this time: "I don't want it! I want to stay and help you!"

Just as the two were arguing, suddenly someone outside shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Now everyone stopped unconsciously. Xun Rizhao shouted happily: "Brother, we won!" and ran out the door.

Bai Ziyang took advantage of everyone's inattention and pulled the woman in black and said, "Follow me!" This time the woman nodded obediently, and then the two of them climbed out through the back window.

When Xue Hen heard the sound of the emperor arriving, he stopped unconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly left.

Originally, Qianxun was also going to run out with Xun Rizhao, but when she reached the door, she suddenly remembered to turn around and call Xuehen and Bai Ziyang to go with her. However, she didn't expect to see one of them climb out of the back window and the other slip out of the side door. She looked left and right, and decided to catch up with Xuehen.
