Chapter 698: Borrowing a knife to kill someone is better than doing it yourself
When Jiang Yingying heard that the person inside was from the Canglong Sect, she looked at Qi Yizheng and asked if he wanted to go in and kill him without leaving a single survivor.
Qi Yizheng shook his head slightly. They had no idea how many remnants of the Canglong Sect were in the courtyard, so rushing in rashly wouldn't be a success, given their numerical superiority. More importantly, the Yan army would be doing a headcount that night, so the two of them had to hurry back.
They came quietly and left quietly, and the two quickly disappeared into the night.
"Hey, we should have rushed in and captured those two people and forced them to tell us Cang Xuan's whereabouts." Jiang Yingying was a little disappointed. The target was right in front of them, but they let him go. What a pity.
Qi Yizheng smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Since we know their lair, we can just find a way to have the Yan army guards destroy them. Why do we need to do it ourselves?"
When Jiang Yingying heard this, her sense of loss disappeared instantly. Killing someone with a borrowed knife was indeed better than doing it herself.
"When we get back later, you sneak in first and I'll follow behind. Don't let anyone know that we went out together. After all, the Yan guards are catching assassins tonight, and the two of us will be too conspicuous together." Qi Yizheng instructed. After sending Jiang Yingying to the door of the residence, he hid in the dark.
Jiang Yingying straightened her clothes and returned to her residence. When Zhou Dazhuang saw her come back, he quickly grabbed him and asked, "Where have you been? Fortunately, the superior didn't come, otherwise he would have punished you if he found out that you were not here. Hey, where's your brother?"
Jiang Yingying touched her head and said, "My brother is worried that he will ask us to go out of the city to fight tomorrow, so he went to inquire about the news and will be back soon."
As soon as he heard about going out of the city to fight, Zhou Dazhuang was indeed led astray. He was thinking about how to hide behind the team if he was sent out of the city.
Not long after, Qi Yizheng appeared, and Zhou Dazhuang hurried forward to ask him how his investigation went.
Qi Yizheng glanced at Jiang Yingying calmly. Jiang Yingying asked worriedly, "Brother, will you ask us to leave the city? We don't know how to do anything. Wouldn't it be a waste of our lives if we went to the battlefield?"
Qi Yizheng knew what Zhou Dazhuang was asking and sighed, "I'm just a rookie soldier and don't know many people. Who would tell me? Go to sleep first. Get up early tomorrow and find something to eat."
I've been busy getting news today and I'm still hungry!
Jiang Yingying swallowed her saliva. She was also hungry.
The unmarried couple went to sleep hungry tonight, and their dreams were all about food.
The Yan emperor's residence was brightly lit and no one slept all night.
The guards who returned to report were as if they were facing a great enemy, fearing that the emperor would be furious and kill them. After all, their emperor was someone who could even kill a general at will.
"With so many people, we can't catch a few thieves? What do you do for a living?" Feng Chenmu was so angry that he looked at those good-for-nothings and wished he could kill them all with a sword.
"Your Majesty, we were originally planning to capture someone, but two unidentified people appeared along the way. We don't know where they came from. It doesn't seem likely that they are part of the same group as us. They kidnapped the person carrying the treasure map."
Feng Chenmu was in a terrible headache. This time he personally led the army to fight not only to defeat the army of the Great Zhou, but also for another purpose, which was to take the treasure map to search Yanyun Mountain.
He got the treasure map by accident. He didn't expect that Yan State was sitting on the huge treasure of the previous Zhou Dynasty without knowing it and had never excavated it for so many years.
He was a man of decisive action. Since he knew that there was such a huge treasure, he had to dig it out as soon as possible. As long as he had the treasure, why would Yan State not be able to recruit soldiers and become the leader of the Three Kingdoms?
What is there to worry about if there is just a shortage of food and grass? With silver, there is nothing you can’t buy.
But he didn't expect that this group of thieves had disguised themselves and lurked around him for so long, and actually stole the treasure map tonight.
This was not only a blatant challenge to his authority, but also a serious threat to the State of Yan.
"Investigate thoroughly! Search the entire city and make sure to find the treasure map, otherwise don't come back to see me." The guards took the order and left, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
The next morning, Qi Yizheng heard that Wuya City had been searched all night. He narrowed his eyes and spread the news while eating breakfast, saying that the east of the city was a gathering place for all kinds of people, and maybe people had escaped there.
His news spread quickly, and finally reached the ears of the imperial guards. The guards, who had already searched the city all night, instantly became energized and went to their new recruits camp to select dozens of people to take with them to search the city.
Qi Yizheng, Jiang Yingying and Zhou Dazhuang were all drafted into the army and mixed in with the people who were searching the city.
Qi Yizheng took off his armor and gave it to Zhou Dazhuang: "If you encounter a fight later, find a place to hide and don't come out." He was going to lead his men to attack the courtyard of Canglongmen today, and a fierce battle was inevitable.
Zhou Dazhuang declined, "You gave me the armor, so what are you going to wear? You wear it yourself. I'll remember this. If I see something wrong, I'll hide it."
But Qi Yizheng still let him wear it. This armor was of little use to him, but it could save Zhou Dazhuang's life.
Zhou Dazhuang's eyes were a little red. He didn't expect that this tall and mighty brother would take such good care of him along the way. When they go back, he will definitely ask his two children to recognize Brother Jiang as their godfather and repay him well.
Qi Yizheng didn't know what Zhou Dazhuang was thinking. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Yingying, then led his men to search the courtyard where they had been last night.
I don’t know if the people from Canglongmen were too confident, or if they had nowhere else to hide and simply gave up hiding. When the officers and soldiers searched the courtyard, the people inside politely let them search.
Qi Yizheng and Jiang Yingying mainly searched the house where the sect leader lived last night. The first thing they saw when they entered was a plain-looking man.
"I've said it before, we are just ordinary businessmen. Now that we can't do business, we are waiting for news at home. You are here to look for thieves, but don't damage my things, otherwise you will have to compensate me." The man's voice was the same as the sect leader's voice heard last night.
Qi Yizheng stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, but the higher-ups ordered a search, so we have no choice but to comply. Stand up, I need to search you."
The man frowned: "I'm just an ordinary businessman, why are you searching me?" As he spoke, the subordinates around him moved closer to him, in a protective posture.
Qi Yizheng wanted to see if there was another familiar face under this unremarkable face, so he stepped forward and took action directly regardless of his subordinates' obstruction.
"What are you going to do?" The man panicked. He didn't expect that the Yan soldier would really search him. A dagger was revealed in the hand hidden behind his back.
"Can't you see? I said I would search you!" As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them started fighting almost at the same time.
The sound was heard outside, and the people outside started fighting instantly.
Qi Yizheng didn't use up all his skills. He fought and retreated at the same time, shouting to the imperial guards outside, "There's something strange about him. He won't let us search him."
He pretended to be defeated and left the sect leader in front of him to the imperial guards to deal with, and successfully retreated.
After all, he was just a "new recruit" and had only learned a few basic moves, so he couldn't beat others.
