The Villain's Counterattack
Chapter 145: Arson of Lianhuanzhuang, Cunning Wei Bi
Song Qingshu asked Zhang Wuji to treat Wu Qingying. "My junior brother's martial arts skills are only average, but his character and kindness are the best. Secondly, he has medical skills. He learned them from the world's number one doctor, Hu Qingniu, who 'didn't save someone in need'. Ah Li's skills don't involve poison. Simple external injuries won't be a problem for Wuji. In seven or eight days, I can restore your beautiful face to a perfect state without any lasting scars."
Every girl loves beauty. She hadn't cared much about her face before, because her life was in danger and she was betrayed by her long-time crush, Wei Bi. But now that she was not going to die and had become a disciple of Wudang, her love for beauty had returned. After hearing Song Qingshu's words, she couldn't help but cast a surprised look at Zhang Wuji and thanked him repeatedly.
The four of them packed up their belongings and headed to Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang under the leadership of Wu Qingying. Wu Qingying saw the two children carrying a lot of things and stepped forward to help. Yin Li had torn her face before, which made Wu Qingying feel a little resentful and she didn't dare to approach casually. However, Zhang Wuji helped her with treatment, so she stepped forward to pick up Zhang Wuji's backpack, but she didn't hold it firmly and almost dropped it on the ground.
"This bag is surprisingly so heavy." This is the wilderness. Although it is not far from Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang, there is really no road. Wu Qingying feels that it is difficult for him to walk with this thing on his back, but the two young boys and girls can walk freely. This lightness skill is not something he can compare with.
Yin Li curled her lips in disdain and said, "It's only a hundred or so pounds. Senior Brother Song is carrying something that weighs three to five hundred pounds. The more advanced your martial arts skills are, the better your physical strength will be. Carrying this weight forward is also a way to hone your Qinggong skills. Although it's a bit clumsy, perseverance will eventually lead to success. Junior Sister, you're making a fuss."
Wudang Mountain was a prestigious sect, and its female lineage had just begun. Although he was the second disciple, wasn't he also the last? Now there was a new junior sister. Although she was older than him, she had always been admitted after him. As her junior sister, Yin Li's attitude towards her naturally became much better.
Wu Qingying cast his gaze towards the bag on Yin Li's back. Yin Li said proudly, "This is a backpack designed by Senior Brother Song. It's extremely convenient, waterproof and dustproof, and has many small pockets for storing different things. The bag I have here also weighs over a hundred pounds. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
The four of them chatted and laughed as they headed towards Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang. Zhang Wuji still carried his backpack by himself. Although Wu Qingying was already an adult, his martial arts and internal strength were the weakest among all of them. Carrying the backpack not only made it difficult for him to move, but it also greatly affected his ability. However, Song Qingshu would not do such a thing as forcing things to happen.
Halfway through, Song Qingshu suddenly stopped and looked ahead. Wu Qingying and the others also stopped. Yin Li pointed ahead and suddenly said, "It's smoke. Someone is setting a fire."
The smoke from arson and cooking was completely different. Yin Li had some experience following Song Qingshu through the martial arts world. Wu Qingying's face was gloomy. Her impression of her cousin Wei Bi was completely shattered. She had never imagined that Wei Bi could be so heartless and vicious. And the subsequent events turned out to be exactly as Senior Brother Song had predicted: he had framed Uncle Zhu and was now threatening to destroy Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor.
"Don't worry. Wei Bi doesn't look like a generous person. He is used to a life of luxury, so he won't burn down the entire manor. Otherwise, how will he make a living in the future? Will he have to beg for a living? If I'm not mistaken, the fire should be in the study or bedroom of the two manor owners, where the martial arts secrets of your two families are kept." Song Qingshu couldn't help but shook his head slightly, but Wu Qingying's face was gloomy. He couldn't help but think of how he stole the family secrets more than two years ago and ran to his cousin's room for no apparent reason.
It turns out his goal from the beginning was to inherit our two families' heritage. Whether it's the Peach Blossom Island heritage or the Dali Duan family heritage, each is a renowned institution. Deepening any of them could potentially make one a true master. My father has already accepted him as a disciple and plans to make him his son-in-law in the future. Why is he so anxious?
When he thought about how Wei Bi was able to get along with both himself and Zhu Jiuzhen, he felt a sudden resistance towards him. No matter how he looked at him before, he seemed so good, but now he seemed so bad.
This Wei Bi couldn't compare to Senior Brother Song in terms of looks, and his martial arts couldn't even beat two thirteen or fourteen-year-old children. He was narrow-minded, treacherous, ungrateful, and heartless. Was this the man I had so sincerely wanted to entrust my life to? Fortunately, I saw through his true nature early on, otherwise my future would have been even more miserable.
There were footprints of Wu Lie and Zhu Changling in front of them, and Wu Qingying was leading the way, so they didn't worry about taking the wrong path. Wu Qingying was anxious, so Song Qingshu casually taught her some key points of the flying technique, which made her speed three times faster in a moment. The four of them quickly approached Zhuwu Lianhuanzhuang, and there were only two places where the fire broke out, just as Song Qingshu said. Wu Lie and Zhu Changling were directing everyone to put out the fire, and it seemed that they wanted to rush into the sea of fire.
Song Qingshu grabbed Zhu Changling and shouted angrily, "If we lose the land but keep the people, both the land and the people will be saved. If we keep the land but lose the people, both the land and the people will be lost. Talent is the most important thing. Is the stuff inside really that important?"
"My ancestral secret book is in it." Zhu Changling seemed to want to shake off Song Qingshu, but found that he couldn't.
"Where's your brain? Wei Bi was able to think of burning this house. Obviously, he had taken the things inside. That's why he burned the room and died without any evidence. And even if the secret book really was inside, what would it matter? You must have memorized it by heart and just wrote it down afterwards. The handwritten letter of an ancestor is nothing compared to the life of a descendant. If you chase him immediately, Wei Bi will definitely not get far."
Song Qingshu's words made Zhu Changling suddenly wake up. He kowtowed three times to Song Qingshu, asked Wu Lie to help put out the fire, and went to the stable to get a fast horse to chase Wei Bi.
Wei Bi had left in a hurry, surprisingly careful not to let all the horses go or kill them. Zhu Changling rode away, while Wu Lie continued to put out the fire. Song Qingshu faintly heard a noise from the raging fire, so he poured a basin of water over him from head to toe. Then, with both palms, he cut a path through the air and rushed in. In just a few breaths, he jumped out, holding an unconscious man.
"Zhen'er, how could it be her?" Wu Lie was shocked. He didn't expect Zhu Jiuzhen to be in the fire. But at this moment, her body was in a mess, and she even had several burns. Although Song Qingshu came and went quickly, he couldn't avoid having a piece of his hair burned.
"Wuji, wake her up and help her treat her injuries. Fortunately, I discovered it in time and she should be able to recover. If it was a moment later, it would really be too late." Song Qingshu did not expect Wei Bi to be so cruel and actually wanted to burn Zhu Jiuzhen to death.
Song Qingshu directed everyone to remove all flammable items from the surrounding area and use wet soil to isolate the burning area from other areas, creating a barrier zone. He frequently poured water on the barrier zone while explaining to Wu Lie, "The fire is too big to be put out. Cut off the source of the fire and the surrounding passages to prevent the fire from spreading to the entire villa. This small house will eventually burn out, and then the fire will die out on its own."
Once the containment zone was complete, Song Qingshu didn't stop there. Instead, he ordered his men to sprinkle wet soil onto the blaze, covering it up. After a full hour of work, they managed to gradually reduce the intensity of the fire and completely extinguish it. Wu Lie followed suit, quickly bringing the other fire under control. He felt a growing respect for this Wudang disciple, the third and first disciple. He possessed courage, resourcefulness, quick wit, and a broad mind, far beyond the reach of the ungrateful Wei Bi.
Zhang Wuji simply treated Zhu Jiuzhen's burns and prescribed a prescription for the servants to prepare before waking her up. Zhu Jiuzhen sat there in a daze, not saying a word. Wu Qingying couldn't bear it and went forward to comfort her, thinking that she and she were in the same boat.
An hour passed, and the fire was completely extinguished. Zhu Changling rode back, leading another horse, his face filled with anger. Seeing his daughter, haggard and with multiple burns, and Song Qingshu's hair suddenly short, he was shocked. Wu Lie pulled him aside and told him the whole story. Zhu Changling couldn't help but feel ashamed. His body was given by his parents, and he shouldn't abandon it lightly. Yet, Song Qingshu had burned a section of his hair in order to save his daughter.
"Have you caught my traitor Wei Bi?" Wu Lie only remembered to ask at this time.
"I chased him all the way for more than ten miles, but in the end I only caught up with a servant on horseback. It was a trick used by Wei Bi. I'm afraid he has already escaped into the mountains." Zhu Changling did not expect Wei Bi to be so scheming. He felt something was wrong. With such a person watching him in secret, Zhu Wu Lianhuanzhuang was afraid that things would be bad.
