C538 I'll be Right Back
Du Qi didn't have time to think about it. He instinctively stepped forward with his left foot. He stepped on Xia Jianren's wrist, which was holding the knife. At the same time, his right foot flew up. He kicked Xia Jianren's nose and Xia Jianren leaned back. There was no more sound when he fell into the bushes under the wall.
After forcing Xia Jianren back, Du Qi did not dare to stop. He hurriedly jumped up. He rushed to the roof on the right and then floated up from the roof. He landed on the wall in front of him and hurriedly looked back. He saw that Daoist Yun Xiao and the others did not chase after him and no one appeared to stop him. Du Qi could not help but feel slightly relieved. He took Chang Xiaowu and crossed another roof. After falling into an alley, they immediately rushed onto the street and rushed home like a gust of wind amidst the shocked cries of the passers-by.
While they were running, they suddenly saw Liu Ji, Liu Haoran, and Jin Mantang, who they had seen a few days ago in the Gathering Ying Restaurant, coming towards them. It was not difficult to tell from Liu Ji and Jin Mantang's intimate and casual appearances. The two of them were definitely not people who had only known each other for a few days, and they seemed to be good friends who had been friends for decades. At least, they were also from Myriad Grade Hall. It was likely that they had only done it a few days ago to confuse the people in Ju Ying Restaurant to deal with Hundred Flower Palace. What was the outcome of that day? At this moment, when they saw Liu Ji and the other five people welcoming him, they didn't seem to have any intention of making way for him. Du Qi couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that the people of Myriad Grade Hall would intercept him on the path he had to pass. Moreover, it was in the middle of a busy street. It seemed like they were determined to get what they wanted. Since they had an ambush here, there must be pursuers behind them. Du Qi could only brave his way forward.
Liu Ji, Jin Mantang, and the other five were slightly shocked when they saw Du Qi rushing towards them like a fierce tiger with a man on his back. All of them moved aside to make way for ___, without any intention of attacking. Du Qi could not help but feel strange when he saw this. He would not take the initiative to attack. Hurriedly passing by Liu Ji and the others, he hurriedly turned his head around. He saw Liu Ji and the others still standing there without any movement. They looked at him with doubt. They seemed to be wondering why he was so panicked.
As they gradually went further and further away, Du Qi saw that Liu Ji and the others still did not have any intention to attack. He also did not have the intention to chase after them, but Du Qi still did not dare to slack off. He ran even faster forward, but the doubt in his heart grew stronger. Could it be that this incident was a conspiracy? He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chang, do you know where those people came from?"
These few days were no different from a nightmare to Chang Xiaowu. Innocent people were the first to get hurt. Today, he was kidnapped again. What annoyed him was that he had no idea who had done all these things. Why did these people treat him like this? However, he could vaguely guess that this must have something to do with Du Qi. When he saw Du Qi just now, he had been worried about him, and wanted him to leave in a hurry. Now that he was far away from danger, Chang Xiaowu felt slightly relieved. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Du Qi's question. Chang Xiaowu quickly perked up and smiled bitterly. "I don't know who they are at all."
Du Qi saw that Chang Xiaowu was very weak and could not bear to let him waste his time talking, so he could only carry Chang Xiaowu and continue their journey. Fortunately, the journey was very smooth and there were no more dangers.
From afar, Du Qi saw the girls, Ren Dongming, Yao Fugui and the others gathered in the open space in front of the house. They seemed to be very anxious. When they saw Du Qi coming back, they all embraced him. When they were still far away, Yao Fugui shouted, "You little bastard, are you tired of living? It's fine if you don't want to die, but do you have the face to make so many of us worry about you?"
Du Qi saw that everyone's eyes were filled with blame and resentment, which made him look just like Yao Fugui. Du Qi was very dissatisfied with his actions this time, so he could only look at everyone apologetically. He placed Chang Xiaowu and the chair in front of Wen Wenya and said with a smile, "Xiao Ya, hurry up and treat Big Brother Chang's injuries. I will come back to see him later!"
Seeing that Du Qi was about to leave again, Yao Fugui shouted, "Kid, are you still not torturing us enough? Where do you think you are going?"
Du Qi said, "I am just going to find someone to ask a few questions. I will be back soon. Don't worry."
Ren Dongming said, "The situation is unstable right now. How can young master go out alone again? If young master insists on going, he must bring a few followers with him. Otherwise, how can your elder be at ease?"
Du Qi said, "Alright. It is just that it is easy to make mistakes when there are many people. Miaoer can follow me." As he spoke, Du Qi impatiently turned around and walked. Ma Yuxiao suddenly called out," Young master, weapons! "
Du Qi caught Jiaojiao, who was tossed over by Ma Yuxiao, and hid her in his sleeve. He no longer had the time to speak. He and Looh Miaoer ran along the way they had come from. In just a moment, they saw Liu Ji and the other five people walking in front of them unhurriedly. It looked like they had nothing to do and were strolling around. Du Qi could not help but become even more determined about what he had just thought. He chased behind Liu Ji and the others and called out, "Hero Liu, please wait!"
Liu Ji, Jin Mantang and the other five turned around when they heard the voice. When they saw that it was Du Qi who had returned, they could not help but reveal surprised expressions. Liu Ji asked very naturally, "Young Master, why did you stop us? Do you have any advice for us?"
Du Qi said, "I was bold enough to disturb the mood of Hero Liu, Hero Jin, and the three friends. I just wanted to ask a few questions to clear my doubts."
Liu Ji said with suspicion, "Young master, please speak!"
Du Qi said, "Hero Liu, do you know who is playing in Heavenly Fragrance Tavern today?"
Liu Ji exchanged glances with the other four people and smiled. "Although there are not many people from my hall coming to Xiangyang this time, they are divided into many places. I don't know if anyone is going to Heavenly Fragrance Tavern."
Du Qi said, "Then, Hero Liu, do you know where Xia Jianren, Xia Daxia, is now?"
Liu Ji said, "I do not live with him, so I do not know where he is now."
Du Qi said again, "Is Xia Daxia with Daoist Yunxiao, Hero Fang, Hero Yuan Shiling, and Elder Hong?"
Liu Ji exchanged glances with the other four people and said with an unfriendly expression, "It seems that young master knows a lot of people from my clan. I wonder what young master is trying to find the root of the problem for?"
Du Qi said, "To tell you the truth, I just parted ways with them. At this time, I have something to ask them. In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, I asked Hero Liu about the situation first."
Liu Ji and the others obviously didn't believe Du Qi's words. They sized Du Qi up and down. Liu Ji said vigilantly, "They are divided into three places. It is hard to tell if they are together now. Young master, you have inquired about these things. Could it be that you want to deal with our Myriad Grade Hall?"
Recalling the situation in Heavenly Fragrance Tavern just now, Du Qi felt that there were many things that puzzled him. Initially, he wanted to get rid of Liu Ji's doubts, but who knew that Liu Ji's answer wouldn't help him at all. Instead, it made his confidence waver. When he heard Liu Ji's words, Du Qi could not help but have a thought. He smiled and said, "This matter is not decided by me. I am sorry to bother you. I hope Hero Liu, Hero Jin, and three friends can forgive me. I hope we will never meet again. Farewell! "
