Xu Tianchuan shook his head." Hero Bai Er was merciful that day. I've been recuperating for a few days now. I'm much better."”
Wei Xiaobao's words were like adding fuel to the fire. Bai Hanfeng glared at Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao was smiling as if he hadn't seen it at all. He had his own plans.
The servants poured wine and served the dishes. The dishes were very sumptuous.
The members of the Heaven and Earth Society knew that they were the ones who saved Xu Tianchuan, and they also knew that there was a famous old hero like the Iron-back Blue Dragon Liu Dahong present. They thought that they would not poison Xu Tianchuan, so they did not have any doubts. They drank to their heart's content.
After three rounds of wine, Liu Dahong stroked his beard and said,"Brothers, your guild is in the capital, Zhili. Which brother is the leader?”
Li Lishi replied,"In the capital's Zhili area, the most respected person in our association is Incense Master Wei."”
Liu Dahong nodded,"Very good, very good!"”He drank another cup of wine and asked,"But I don't know if this little brother can bear the responsibility for the dispute between us?"”
"What do you want me to do?" said Wei Xiaobao with a smile. I, Wei Xiaobao, am a small person with narrow shoulders. I can still take on a small responsibility, but if it's a big one, it depends on the situation.”
Liu Dahong stood up and pondered for a while before cupping his fists."I invited everyone here today for a reason. The Bai Family's boss died in Master Xu's hands. There must be an end to this matter.”
"Pa!" Xu Tianchuan slammed the table and stood up. His expression was a little ugly." Young Duke Mu, Old Hero Liu, I'm extremely grateful that you've saved me from the hands of the traitor. The Bai Family's boss was injured by my mistake. A life for a life. I'll just compensate him with my old life!"”
After saying that, Xu Tianchuan pulled out his sword and wanted to commit suicide, but he was stopped by the other brothers of the Green Wood Hall.
"Big Brother Xu, don't be impatient. Why are you so tired of living? I'm still the chief of the Green Wood Hall. Although you haven't admitted it in your hearts, you have to give me some face on the surface, right?”Wei Xiaobao's words struck a chord in their hearts. Martial arts and brotherhood were the most important thing in the martial world. It was already good enough for Wei Xiaobao to stand tall in the Green Wood Hall. He didn't expect his uncles and grandpas to listen to him. He was thankful that they didn't pick on him. Moreover, he wanted others to think that he was an idiot. Only by pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger would he be able to live longer and attract less attention. At the same time, it would be safer.
Hearing Wei Xiaobao's words, Xu Tianchuan put down his sword and gave him some face.
As he waved his fan, Wei Xiaobao looked around and smiled."Young Duke, you came from Yunnan with only these few people.”
"What does Incense Master Wei mean?”The young duke took a sip of tea with a calm expression.
"Hehe, three assassins were captured alive the day before yesterday. I heard from a friend that they confessed that they were subordinates of the Mu Estate, so I came to ask. However, since you are so leisurely, I believe that those assassins were lying.”Wei Xiaobao gave him a sidelong glance.
Hearing this, the young duke's expression changed slightly. He cupped his hands and said,"Incense Master Wei, those assassins are definitely not from the Mu Residence. However, since they dared to assassinate the Qing Emperor, they must be heroes of their generation. If Incense Master Wei can save them, we will be eternally grateful. The matter of Master Xu and Brother Bai will be written off!”
"You flatter me, Duke," said Wei Xiaobao with a smile."I'm just a eunuch. I don't have the ability to save them. But the Heaven and Earth Society and the Mu Estate are both people who have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. Dead people can't be brought back to life. Besides, Brother Xu didn't do it on purpose. There's no need for our families to have a conflict over this. Otherwise, we'll be used by those who have ill intentions!"”
"Incense Master Wei is absolutely right," Mu Jian said."You can take Old Master Xu away.”
"Thank you so much!"
Wei Xiaobao closed his folding fan, stood up, and bade farewell.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood that since Old Master Xu had let them go, the Green Wood Hall had to rescue the people in the palace.
"Elder Qian, bring a few dead pigs and ducks to the palace tomorrow. It's best if they died of poisoning. Don't let anyone find out!”Wei Xiaobao immediately ordered. After this battle, he, Wei Xiaobao, had a bit of status in Greenwood Hall.
"Incense Master, why do you want to kill a pig?" Elder Qian was puzzled.
"Don't ask me that," said Wei Xiaobao."I have my own plan. I'll get those people out tomorrow!"”
After bidding farewell to the Greenwood Hall members, Wei Xiaobao immediately made his way to the Imperial Palace.
Wei Xiaobao felt like he had aged a lot lately. He had been playing word games with those old foxes every day, and his brain cells were working at full speed. He didn't know how many of them had died.
After returning to the palace, he went straight to the prison.
"Big Brother Zhang, I wonder if there's any news about the person I'm looking for?”
Zhang Kangnian had taken fifty thousand taels of silver from Wei Xiaobao last time and distributed it among the guards. When he saw Wei Xiaobao, he immediately served him tea and water, serving him like his own father. However, he had never served his own father like this before.
" Eunuch Gui," Zhang Kangnian said with a smile," we worked overtime after your order last time. We broke two of the three whips, but they refused to let us go. None of them would reveal their true identity."”
Wei Xiaobao's lips curled into an evil smile as he sighed."Their skin is rough and their flesh is thick. It's impossible to fight them. Bring me to take a look!”
"Alright, father-in-law, this way please!" Zhang Kangnian said.”
The three captured assassins were locked up in the water prison, and when they saw Wei Xiaobao enter, they began to curse at him.
Wei Xiaobao couldn't be bothered to argue with them, because not many people in this world thought highly of eunuchs.
However, he was content with his status and proud of it. In the entire palace, except for the Emperor and Empress Dowager, who didn't call him Eunuch Gui? This was his realm and his achievement. He was proud of it. Being able to reach his current status as a eunuch was a manifestation of his ability and the result of his hard work for six years.
The three Assassins, one and two, he didn't even need to think to know who they were. If they were of a higher status, Wei Xiaobao might even be able to tell him the names of their sons and grandsons.
The three of them were tied to wooden pillars, their upper bodies bare, and their bodies badly mutilated. One of them was a burly man with a curly beard, and the other two were young men in their twenties. One of them had very white skin, and the other had flowers tattooed all over his body. There was a ferocious tiger head tattooed on his chest.
The bearded man was the Shaking Lion, Wu Lishen. The one with the tiger tattoo on his chest was his disciple, Ao Biao. As for the other pretty boy, he was probably the Liu Yizhou that Fang Yi had mentioned.
