The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 258 A Clever Escape
A thunderbolt? Just as Wu Chengyu had predicted, the ambush meticulously planned by these Jin spies was not so simple after all.

This thing appeared in the late Southern Song Dynasty, but it was not numerous and the production was low, so it was difficult to form a large scale. Its power was also questionable, so it did not change the war situation of that era.

However, it would be quite easy for the Jin Dynasty's spies to obtain some, and they should be placed within a specific area of ​​this meditation room. If they cannot capture the assassin, they can lure him into that area and set it on fire immediately.

If it hadn't been investigated beforehand, even if the firearm's power was only average, as long as Wu Chengyu was within the killing radius of the Thunderclap Bomb, even though his current physique was already beyond that of an ordinary person, he would still be made of flesh and blood, and would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.

Moreover, these things are inanimate objects. If they are buried in the ground and do not move, Wu Chengyu's three-dimensional model will not show anything unusual. The only possibility is the smell of gunpowder, which he should be able to detect immediately with his sense of smell. Therefore, the current location of these thunderbolts should be more than 100 meters away from him.

Confucius said... Mencius said... Do you know where these thunderbolts are buried?

"It's that open space in front of the meditation room on the east side. Don't worry, it's far away from here. Unless it happens to be standing there, it can't hurt us."

Besides, this kind of thing is easy to deal with. As long as you know where to ignite it, just pour a bucket of water on it and it will become useless immediately.

"Young master, you are a scholar and don't understand how powerful we martial artists are. If you want to learn martial arts in the future, I can teach you."

Wu Chengyu has now discovered that although Qiu Qianchi acts like a female tyrant or a gangster's daughter, she is also a love-struck fool.

In the original story, she helped Gongsun Zhi improve the family's martial arts techniques. At least before Gongsun Zhi seduced the maid, she was very good to her husband.

This is why Wu Chengyu's persuasive skills can produce results so quickly. So, if this special skill falls into the hands of a scumbag and is used to deal with love-struck men, it will be very effective. But if it is used against other people, it will probably be much less effective.

Confucius said... Mencius said... I don't know what brings Miss Qiu to Chang'an. When I came in yesterday, I saw that the guards around me were clearly dressed as Jurchens.

"It's all because my elder brother coveted the Quanzhen Sect's Innate Skill. Back then, Wang Chongyang relied on this skill to become invincible throughout the world, but he didn't dare to go to Chongyang Palace."

It just so happened that these Jin people also wanted to deal with the Quanzhen Sect, so he instigated them to set a trap and wait for the Quanzhen Sect members to come to their door.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. The northern wind is too harsh; it's hurt my skin. But it wasn't all for nothing; at least I met my Mr. Right.

Confucius said... Mencius said... then I wonder how much longer you intend to stay here.

"It'll be soon. The plan from the Jin Kingdom will be implemented soon. These past few days have just been the Jin leader negotiating with my brother. They've been talking for a few days now."

These guys not only have designs on the Quanzhen Sect, but they even want my brother to be the instructor of the Jin people and teach them our family's Iron Palm technique. What a dream!

My brother refused many times, but they still wouldn't give up. They asked my brother to talk to them again tomorrow, promising him high-ranking positions, riches, gold, and silver. However, martial arts techniques are the foundation of my martial arts practice, and my brother will absolutely not agree to them.

These people are also wary of my brother's unparalleled martial arts skills and need to rely on him to deal with the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect, so I think it will eventually come to nothing.

Tomorrow? Wu Chengyu has now figured out the basic situation here. Under his influence, Qiu Qianchi is completely talking without thinking, and doesn't realize that Wu Chengyu is trying to trick her into revealing information.

Wu Chengyu no longer wanted to waste any more time here. This assassination attempt could be settled tomorrow when the leader meets with Qiu Qianren.

However, with those lamas currently in the meditation area of ​​the Great Ci'en Temple, Wu Chengyu is unable to move at night. Therefore, the substitution trick he had planned cannot be carried out here at the Great Ci'en Temple. The first thing to do next is to get out, to get out openly and honestly, and then find the exact location of Heshi Lie Liangping.

"Confucius said... Mencius said... Do these Jin leaders also live here?"

"No, their leader's name is something like He Shilie. He looks weird and strange. He's here during the day, but at night he disappears to who knows where. These spies all have something to hide, so they wouldn't dare to reveal their location easily."

Wu Chengyu realized he could no longer stay here; many things needed to be done outside, especially finding Heshi Lie Liangping's true whereabouts.

This guy was a bit cunning. After realizing that the previous stronghold was not safe, he told his men that they would move to the Great Ci'en Temple.

But who would have thought that this guy was just bluffing, appearing during the day and then disappearing at night?

Afterwards, Wu Chengyu kept chatting with Qiu Qianchi, and every sentence he said was full of Confucian and Mencian references. It took him half an hour to finally completely control Qiu Qianchi's subconscious. This method was not hypnosis, but rather gaining Qiu Qianchi's complete trust.

No matter what Wu Chengyu does, Qiu Qianchi will automatically fill in the blanks in her mind, find reasons for Wu Chengyu, and then continue to believe him.

"Confucius said... Mencius said... I'm getting a little tired of staying here. Besides, if I go back to Huizhou Prefecture with you, I need to give an explanation for what I've done. One must have a beginning and an end to one's actions. So, please let me go."

"But, but, if you go out, I'm afraid you won't come back. What should I do then? Why don't I go with you?"

Confucius said... Mencius said... A person without integrity cannot stand. How could you not believe me? Have you forgotten? The woman I like must be obedient.

Moreover, you must be feeling quite tired these past few days. You should rest well. Listen to me, go back to your room and get some sleep. I will be back by tomorrow night at the latest.

Didn't you say your brother would be negotiating with the Jin people tomorrow? You'll still need to accompany your brother then, and when I return, please introduce him to me."

"You're right, how could I not believe you? I listen to you the most."

And after hearing what you said, I feel like going to sleep. I'm so sleepy. Let me see you out first, and then I'll go back to my room to rest.

Tomorrow I'll stay by my brother's side and not go anywhere, so that when you come back he won't be up to something again.

After saying this, Qiu Qianchi led Wu Chengyu away from the meditation room and escorted him all the way to the entrance of the Great Ci'en Temple.

Along the way, she encountered her followers, whose eyes clearly indicated that Wu Chengyu, this pretty boy, had completely surrendered. Everyone's eyes were filled with mockery, but Wu Chengyu seemed oblivious, instead focusing her attention on the Jin Kingdom's secret spies.

He vaguely heard the voice of Heishi Lie Liangping. This guy was currently hiding in the Daici'en Temple, but he didn't know when he would leave.

At the entrance of the Great Ci'en Temple, Wu Chengyu looked deeply into Qiu Qianchi's eyes and said his last words to her: "Confucius said to achieve benevolence, Mencius said to uphold righteousness. You must listen to him."
