Chapter 172: Capturing the Imperial Master Wusha

Southern Xinjiang, not far from the military camp, is where the people of Southern Xinjiang live.

As Jindou and Wei Qing walked forward, they thought to themselves: Why are there so many people in southern Xinjiang poisoned, but the soldiers in the military camp are fine?

And why did those soldiers get poisoned after just one trip?

Jindou thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with anything, so he stopped thinking and raised his head to look around.

"Second brother, there is a river ahead, let's go and take a look." Jindou said as he ran forward. When Wei Qing saw him, he followed him.

"Wow, the water is so clear!" Jindou shouted as he walked to the river.

"The drinking water for the people in southern Xinjiang comes from here," said Wei Qing, standing behind Jindou.

"Really? I'll drink some too," Jindou said, squatting down and scooping up some water with both hands. Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, he felt something was wrong and scooped up some more water. After thinking carefully for a while, he turned around and asked Wei Qing, "Brother, do the soldiers in the barracks also drink this water?"

"There is a well in the military camp, and the soldiers all drink water from the well," Wei Qing replied.

That's right. The soldiers in the barracks drank water from the well, so they were not poisoned. But the soldiers who went out must have been poisoned because they drank poisonous water.

Jindou thought of this and stood up suddenly. He said to Wei Qing, "Brother, let's go back quickly and tell uncle that this river has been poisoned. It's not drinkable for the time being."

"Poison?" Wei Qing was shocked.

"Yes, let's go back and tell them," Jindou said as he hurried back.

Just as the two men were about to reach the gate of the military camp, a short and thin man passed by them and hurried forward.

Jindou took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped. He turned around, pointed at the man, and shouted to Wei Qing, "Second brother, hurry up! There's something fishy about that man!"

When Wei Qing heard this, he immediately ran towards the man.

At this time, the man also heard Jindou's cry and ran quickly, but he could not outrun Wei Qing. Wei Qing stopped him with a sword after a few leaps.

As Jindou ran forward, he saw the man put his hand into his arms and shouted, "Second brother, be careful!"

After hearing Jindou's shout, Wei Qing raised his sleeves to block the bag in front of his eyes when the man threw it towards him.

Seeing that the poison did not hurt Wei Qing at all, the man turned around and tried to escape again, but Wei Qing kicked him to the ground and then put a sword to his neck.

In the big tent, General Pei slammed the table and said, "Tell me, who are you?"

"General, I am just an ordinary citizen..." The man kneeling on the ground rolled his eyes and said, "I am just an ordinary citizen."

"Ordinary people?" General Pei's face darkened. "Okay, then let me ask you, what's your name and where do you live?"

"This..." The young man kneeling on the ground did not answer for a moment.

With a "swish", Pei Shaofeng placed his sword on the young man's neck and said, "Speak! If you don't, I'll kill you right now!"

"Yes, yes, General, please spare my life. I've told you everything, I've told you everything." The young man was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, begging for mercy.

"General, I am the disciple of the Yue State's national teacher," said the kneeling young man.

The disciple of the Yue State Master? Everyone in the tent was shocked.

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" General Pei slammed the table again.

"General, I came here with the Imperial Master, just to poison and murder...murder the people of Southern Xinjiang and cause panic in Southern Xinjiang," the kneeling man said tremblingly.

"Poisoned? Tell me how you poisoned it!" General Pei roared.

"General, I really don't know. The Imperial Master made and poisoned the poison all by himself, and he didn't let me participate. He only sent me to stay near the military camp every day to see if there were any outsiders coming in or out."

"Oh, why do we need to check whether there are outsiders coming in and out?" asked General Pei.

"General, the national teacher said that the general will definitely send someone to treat the people in southern Xinjiang who are in trouble. He asked me to guard the gate of the military camp every day and report to him immediately if I find any suspicious people entering or leaving," said the man kneeling on the ground with a trembling voice.

"I think your master must have given you a task," Jindou said as he walked over to the kneeling man. "He wants you to pick a large amount of Ziyang grass for him every day, right?"

"You...how do you know?" the kneeling man asked in horror.

"That's too easy," Jindou said, raising an eyebrow. "You smell like purple sun grass all over. Don't you smell it yourself?"

After asking this, General Pei realized that he could get no more information out of him, so he waved his hand and had the soldiers take the man away. He turned to Pei Shaofeng and said, "Tonight, you lead a few people and make sure to capture the Southern Yi State Master."

"Yes," Pei Shaofeng clasped his fists.

"Uncle, I would like to go with my elder brother," Wei Qing also bowed and clasped his fists.

"Uncle, I'm going too." Song Yujiao also quickly clasped her fists.

Jindou saw this and quickly said, "Uncle, let the four of us go tonight. Don't worry, we will definitely capture the Southern Yi State Master alive."

"Okay," General Pei nodded.

At night, it was pitch black outside.

Pei Shaofeng and four others, escorting the imperial master's disciple, quietly walked out of the military camp.

"You lead the way in front," Pei Shaofeng instructed the national teacher's disciple.

"Wait!" Jindou shouted, walked up to the disciple of the national master, pinched his mouth with his hand, forced him to open his mouth, threw a pill into his mouth, covered his mouth tightly, and made him swallow it.

"This is a highly poisonous pill. If you're obedient and lead the way, I'll give you the antidote when you come back. If you don't obey..." Jindou glared at the Imperial Master's disciple fiercely, "Your intestines will rupture and you'll die in excruciating pain!"

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be obedient and lead the way in front," the disciple of the national teacher nodded repeatedly to ensure.

Soon, the disciple of the national master brought the four people to an inconspicuous courtyard.

"It's... right here," the national master's disciple pointed at the yard and said in a trembling voice.

"Go up and knock on the door." Wei Qing put his sword on the neck of the national teacher's disciple.

"Master, Master," the disciple of the imperial teacher was held at sword-hold by Wei Qing. He walked forward and shouted while knocking on the door.

But after shouting for a long time, there was no movement in the yard. Wei Qing and Pei Shaofeng looked at each other, nodded to each other, then raised their feet together and kicked the door open with a "bang".

Wei Qing stretched out his hand and tapped the disciple of the national master, who then fell straight to the ground.

"Let's go in and take a look," Pei Shaofeng waved his hand.

The yard was quiet at this moment, without a sound at all. Just as the four people were looking around cautiously, a package suddenly flew out of the room.

After the package fell to the ground, it exploded immediately. A cloud of black mist suddenly rose in the yard, accompanied by a pungent smell.

"Cover your nose quickly!" Jindou shouted hurriedly. After hearing this, Wei Qing and Song Yujiao hurriedly covered their mouths and noses. However, Pei Shaofeng rushed into the house with a sword in his hand.

The black fog soon dissipated, and Jindou and the other two took off the sleeves that were covering their faces. Then they saw Pei Shaofeng coming out of the house with a sword, escorting a thin and skinny old Taoist priest out. It was none other than the Wusha National Master of Nanyi.

"You...why aren't you afraid of this poison?" National Master Wusha pointed at Pei Shaofeng and asked in horror.

Pei Shaofeng didn't answer, but kicked the old Taoist fiercely: "You vicious old Taoist, were you responsible for the poison that Kuban used to harm this general?"

Great, it turns out that the mastermind behind the murder of the eldest brother was this old guy. When Jindou heard this, he immediately pounced on the old Taoist.

When Song Yujiao heard this, she couldn't stand the thought that this old man had actually harmed her future husband. She immediately took a step forward and pounced on him.
