Chapter 63: She is able to give birth to a son [Seeking follow-up reading]

"Since entering the West Palace, the brothers in the palace have been arranged by Yu Niang to patrol the streets in teams of five to five, in order to prevent being attacked by others when they are alone. Nothing has gone wrong for a long time, but today, the team patrolling Anhefang was attacked. Those Jianghu people are not very skilled in martial arts, but they all have crossbows in their hands. They suddenly fired a barrage of arrows at us, and the brothers were careless, and two of them were killed on the spot."

"..."

After he finished speaking, Yu Qing, who was leaning on a crutch, walked back to the main entrance. When he came in, his usual smile was gone:

"What about those Jianghu people?"

"We caught two and killed them on the spot after interrogating them. They were all low-level rangers who were desperate to stand out. Normally, they knew their own weight and would only dare to curse verbally, but this time they got the weapon and wanted to take a chance and stand out from us Chaotian Palace."

"Where did they get the crossbows?"

"This group got drunk last night and cursed the Dragon Chief and the court in the tavern. When they came out, they were stopped by someone and asked if they wanted to become famous. The crossbow was taken from that person. After Wang Hu and his men interrogated him for a long time, they found out that he was a man in his thirties. They were so angry that they just chopped them with knives."

"idiot--"

Yu Qing cursed with a cold face: "Don't you know how to take him back to the mansion and let the painter draw a few pictures before killing him? This is what I usually teach you!"

"Well, the five of them were close friends, and they would hang out together in brothels all day long. They were nicknamed the 'Five Wind-Dust Ghosts'. Now that two of them are dead, Wang Hu and the others all came back in tears."

"..."

These are the three ironies of life, and I can indeed understand them.

Wei Mingqi looked at Yu Qing and tried to comfort him: "How deep can a group of scapegoats get? Even with the portrait, they can't find out anything. Don't blame them for this. I would do the same."

"Yeah--"

Wang Zaiming walked up to him and said confidently:

"We both have the same temperament as the dragon head. This is our destiny."

Wei Mingqi wanted to kick this evil fate to the side, and stretched out his hand and said, "Let me see the crossbow. Can you confirm where it came from?"

"Like ordnance."

Wang Zaiming handed him a crossbow and pointed at the handle, saying, "There was originally a craftsman's name on it, but it was erased before the rangers got it. I don't know how many of these things there are out there. The brothers' intention is to unite the three hubs to sweep the capital."

"How to sweep? Who to sweep? Where to sweep?"

Yu Qing asked him coldly, "There are tens of thousands of knights and thugs in Beijing, including the legitimate warriors. Do you want to wipe them all out?"

"..."

"Let's not talk about whether we can sweep it or not. If we do it as you said, everyone in the city who has some tricks will be in danger. It's like putting our West Mansion in boiling water. It's not something a wise man would do."

Wei Mingqi finished speaking and raised the crossbow to take a look:

"The parts are well-made. Regardless of whether the craftsman's name was originally on the rubbed part, it is not something that ordinary forces can make."

"Dragon Head, what do you think we should do now?"

Wang Zaiming said worriedly: "This thing is hard to defend against. Brothers, you can't carry shields when you go out in the future, right? What if your nerves get stretched after a long time? Those gangsters are always talking nonsense behind your back. I'm afraid--"

"It's impossible for this kind of banned weapon to spread all over the city, and not everyone is stupid. We should find out where this thing came from, and don't be too nervous."

After Wei Mingqi finished speaking, he put down his crossbow and asked, "There shouldn't be many families in Beijing that have this thing, right?"

"Only the Jingying outside the city——"

Yu Qing, this woman, has always wanted to rebel and knows the land in Beijing very well:

"The crossbows and strong bows of the imperial guards in the city are all sealed in the armory. No one can take them without the emperor's order. As for the craftsmen of the weapons factory, they all went to the southwest more than ten years ago. The new recruits can only make ordinary weapons and armor. The strong crossbows they make are not up to standard. Therefore, the Beijing camp outside the city has to buy crossbows and fine armor from the Jianghu families in recent years. These crossbows are probably leaked from these places."

"..."

The army purchases its weapons from powerful families instead of weapons depots. It sounds absurd but it is the truth.

Although Emperor Suzong suppressed the rebellion and saved the country, he also brought down a group of ruffians. Among them were royal families like Dongfang Ming who divided the land and established their own territories, as well as a number of local powerful figures. Most of the "jianghu families" that Yu Qing mentioned came from them.

"Now that we have an idea, it will be easy."

Wei Mingqi threw the crossbow to Wang Zaiming and said, "Come with me to the Beijing camp and compare it with other camps to find out where it came from."

Yu Qing frowned slightly and raised his voice by two degrees: "Even Wu Xian'er would not easily go to a strategic location, Young Master——"

"Wu Xian is Wu Xian, and I am me." Wei Mingqi looked arrogant:

"In the midst of the chaos of the army, even a martial immortal cannot defeat me."

"..."

He left as soon as he said he would. Yu Qing watched him leave before he walked into the main house with his crutches. When he got inside, he sighed:
"It is true that a young woman in the boudoir knows no sorrow, and she regrets asking her husband to seek a title."

The woman in a green skirt who was struggling to hold the brush beside the table said calmly without raising her head, "You have always wanted to drag him into rebellion. The more ugly the quarrel between him and the court, the happier you should be, right?"

"It's true that I want him to rebel, but I don't want him to die."

Yu Qing walked to her side with the clatter of his cane: "I warned you loudly just now on purpose, but you didn't come out to persuade me."

"What are you trying to persuade?"

Xie Beiling dipped his ink in the ink and said, "As a man, he knows what's going on."

"That's it."

Yu Qing smiled when he heard this: "I thought my voice was too soft, and I was wondering, there wasn't much noise this morning——"

Hey.

Xie Beiling put down her brush and looked at her.

Yu Qing immediately lowered his head and gave in like a soft persimmon: "It's just a joke - Master Xie, you really don't know how to be funny."

"I see you are not a casual woman."

Xie Beiling picked up the brush again and lowered his eyes and said:

"After what happened this morning, I believe you have some feelings for him. If you don't mind, I will arrange for you to get married to him after the New Year."

"No."

Yu Qing smiled without thinking: "I'm not stupid. If I really get married, I'll be the eldest wife in name, but I'll still be bullied behind the scenes. It's useless to marry. I don't want to be a bullied person."

"..."

Xie Beiling pursed her lips and said:

"When that time comes, I'll leave after the matter in Beijing is settled."

"Then it would be strange if he didn't kill me."

As he spoke, Yu Qing turned his eyes to the outside of the door, "Except for a certain elder, whoever sits in that position will be bullied. You might as well just find someone who is used to being bullied. I think the one outside the door is not bad—"

Snapped.

There was a sound of someone falling in panic from outside, and the fall was quite heavy, but the eavesdropping 'thief' got up and ran away without saying a word.

"..."

After a while, there were two "tsk tsk" sounds in the room. Yu Qing looked in front of him and said, "Let's pick her. She fell so loudly. She is the one who can give birth to a son."

Xie Beiling held it in for a while, then turned back:
"You're no smaller than hers."

"Thank you, Daoshou, too—"

Snapped!
Putting down the brush, Shu Xing walked away on crutches after hearing the voice:
"You always lose your temper and bully others. It's all because of your apprentice! I wonder if your big plate can give you a chance to live in the future—"

Swish!
"Xie Beiling! Are you serious?"

"You're pretending to be lame!"

Ding-ding-ding-ding.

Hearing the noise in the yard, a woman in the side room who was rubbing her peach with red eyes looked up and pouted her lips in grievance.

What kind of people are they?
