C324 It's Not a Trap
Du Qi said in surprise, "Then does the evening Taoist know that I am outside?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo said calmly, "At that time, I only vaguely felt that someone was hiding on the roof, but I could not tell the exact location. He thought that it was an expert who had been famous for many years, so he did not come out to search. Until now, when I heard Young Master Du's words, I knew that it was Young Master Du who came in person that night. "
Du Qi was puzzled and said," I have never met Elder Daoist before. Why did Elder Daoist help me so much? "
Daoist priest Fenghuo said bluntly, "Who can stop Young Master Du from doing what he wants to do? This humble Taoist did not ask the two girls' intention and said that helping Young Master Du was for their own good. How can I not do such a smooth favor?"
Du Qi said again, "Why do you want to use my hand to save General Yu Dayuv?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo said, "Because I want to save him, but it's not convenient for me to come out directly. Coincidentally, I met the young master of Du Mansion, who is famous for his chivalrous virtue. How would I dare to find someone else? I can only trouble Young Master Du."
Du Qi did not seem to completely believe Daoist priest Fenghuo, or perhaps because of Lu Bing's words, he felt that it was indeed very difficult to save Yu Dayuv. So he sincerely thought, "Please tell me, where should I start?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo said casually, "It's very simple. As long as Young Master Du randomly finds a minister in the court, he can come out and give Yan Shifan three to five hundred silver taels. It will be fine."
Du Qi was puzzled and said, "Since it is so simple, why don't Elder Taoist directly find a familiar official to handle this matter, and why do you need me to come forward?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo sighed and said, "Sigh, Young Master Du does not know. Because I am confident in my identity, I have never been on good terms with the officials in the court, and I have a deep grudge with them. Be it loyal or adulterous, they are willing to follow me. It is just that His Majesty relies on me. It was only on the surface that they showed respect to This Penniless Priest and did not dare to make things difficult for him before the order was given. They did not bother with me over some small matters, although it was not a big deal. However, it is inconvenient for me to come out and look for them. "
Du Qi said with doubt," But according to what I know, Yan Hao had long wanted to get rid of General Yu Dayuv and then quickly get rid of him. How could he let go so easily? Is this a trap? "
Daoist priest Fenghuo said, "Although Yan Hao and his son wanted to get rid of Yu Dayuv quickly, they were lawless and daring. But now, they deeply felt that Yu Dayuv was like a hot potato, holding him in his hands felt uncomfortable. It's not convenient to give up, so as long as someone comes forward, this matter will naturally come to pass. "
Du Qi said, "Elder Daoist said so. Could it be that there is some unknown insider information?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo swept a glance at Shang Jing, Shang Ying, Looh Miaoer, Yu Ruyi and the rest. He seemed to be somewhat absent-minded. He said in a low voice as if he was worried that there would be ears on the wall, "This matter is indeed a little strange. A while ago, I heard that there was a group of mysterious and powerful people preparing to enter the capital to rescue Yu Dayuv. After Yan Hao heard about this matter, he forcefully forced the Emperor to agree to hand Yu Dayuv over to him. Without thinking, it was obvious that he wanted to put Yu Dayuv to death. Originally, it was planned to be executed in the future. But yesterday, Yan Shifan privately requested this humble Taoist to find someone to rescue Yu Dayuv."
Du Qi said in surprise," What is the reason for this? Could it be that Yan Shifan wants to use this to murder Elder Daoist?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo said confidently, "All the civil and military officials in the court may plot against me. Only Yan Hao and his son could not! Therefore, This Penniless Priest did not suspect it. He just felt that it was a little strange. After This Penniless Priest asks again and again, this Penniless Priest had no choice but to push around and tell the truth."
Having said that, Daoist priest Fenghuo gave Du Qi a meaningful look. Then he continued, "It is said that he accidentally found out that there was an extremely powerful person who might want to assassinate their father and son. He was forced to do so due to the power behind that person. They could not deal with that person like they did with other people, so they could only defend against that person with all their might. In this way, they were no longer able to deal with those people who wanted to save Yu Dayuv. They were also afraid that after killing Yu Dayuv, those people would take their father and son's lives at all costs. That was why they didn't dare to execute Yu Dayuv according to their original plan. However, because of face and some other unknown reasons, they could not let Yu Dayuv go for no reason. It was not convenient to tell others about this, and they did not want his subordinates to know the reason. Therefore, they could only look for this poor Daoist. Looking at Yan Shifan's expression at that time, it definitely doesn't seem to be fake!"
Du Qi saw that Daoist priest Fenghuo seemed to suspect that he wanted to assassinate Yan Hao and his son. He smiled bitterly and said, "Elder Daoist, don't look at me like that. I have never thought of assassinating them."
Daoist priest Fenghuo pondered for a moment and said, "That's strange. Unless young master, who else could make Yan Hao and his son so afraid?"
Du Qi also said, "I have seen them before. I can feel that their cultivation base is extremely high. Especially that old thief, Yan Hao, whose cultivation base seems to be close to the Deva Realm. I'm not his match at all. Plus, the experts he has by his side aren't any weaker than him. The security in his mansion is even stricter. I really didn't think that there would be someone who would make them so fearful. I can't imagine just how powerful that person's cultivation is."
Daoist priest Fenghuo heaved a sigh of relief, as if he was still doubting Du Qi's words. However, he smiled and said, "Young Master Du is very knowledgeable. That Yan Hao father and son are not easy to deal with. Otherwise, with their actions, they would have died many times. Now that they are still alive, this can only mean one thing. They were skilled in martial arts. At the very least, they must have powerful martial arts experts protecting them. It's not easy to kill them! "
Du Qi did not want to argue with Daoist priest Fenghuo on this matter, so he changed the topic and said, "May I ask, Elder Taoist, if we find a suitable person, when should we talk to Yan Shifan?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo said," It would be best if we do it before tomorrow night. "
Du Qi said in surprise, "Is time so short? If we didn't accidentally barge into this place to meet with Daoist Priest, wouldn't it be a huge mistake if Daoist Priest couldn't find someone to step in?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo glanced at Shang Piaopiao and Shang Luoye and smiled, "If it was not for this matter, how could I have the time to care about these small gangs? Small matters in the small meeting? "
Du Qi said again, "In that case, Elder Daoist should already have a plan in mind. Why do you want me to find someone?"
Daoist priest Fenghuo said, "It's not that I have a plan in mind, but that Zuo Ertong and the others are following me. Things were much easier to handle. The four men who left with him were all generals with heavy military forces. As long as one of them came forward, it could be smoothly resolved, but the inside story naturally cannot be told to them. This humble Taoist will not personally appear either. Of course, I will have to trouble those two girls. I never thought that Young Master Du would appear at this moment. Isn't this the will of the heavens? "
Du Qi couldn't help but laugh. This matter did seem to have a part of the will of the heavens. Just as he was about to sleep, someone sent him a pillow, but he still didn't want to tell Daoist priest Fenghuo that he was saving Yu Dayuv.
