Bai Song felt that things were getting more and more strange. It couldn't be such a coincidence.
"Master Wu, is there anything special about this little fifth girl? Why is she chosen by the Holy Lotus Sect? The Holy Lotus Sect is currently confronting the imperial court. At such a tense moment, every person is very important to the Holy Lotus Sect.
Why would a team be specially sent to catch a little girl?"
"Well..." Samurai Yu was a little hesitant upon hearing this. He obviously had something in mind, but he didn't want to say it clearly.
At this time, there was a noise outside, and a woman could be vaguely heard shouting outside: "It's better to be taken away, why bother to find it back! This girl is a lost star, sent by heaven.
She who came to torture our family should be allowed to die!"
There were servants outside trying to stop him, but the woman squeezed in and stared at Wu Xiaowu menacingly, with a whip in her hand, ready to beat him.
When Wu Xiaowu saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly hid behind Bai Song.
Warrior Xun frowned when he saw this and scolded: "Stop her quickly!"
The servants who came from behind wanted to stop him, but the lady used her bows to the left and right, and each of them whipped her twice.
"How outrageous!" The warrior Xun was so angry that he stepped forward to snatch the woman's whip, but the lady grabbed her beard and pulled hard: "Old man, are you going to rebel? How dare you yell at me!"
One second the warrior was quite imposing, but the next second he was wailing repeatedly, his face turned red but he kept begging for mercy: "Madam, calm down, Madam, calm down, there are guests here, don't lose your identity."
The woman noticed Bai Song and Xu Ruan'er and raised her eyebrows: "Did you two find this Sangmen star?"
Xu Ruan'er had never seen such a powerful woman before, so she was a little frightened and retreated behind Bai Song without replying.
Bai Song lowered his head and looked at Wu Xiaowu who looked frightened. He felt very pitiful and replied: "Why is such a smart little girl called the Sangmenxing? This is the daughter of the Wu family. Even if she is not yours, then she is
You should love her as your own flesh and blood, why do you dislike her so much?"
"You're a young boy, but you're teaching me a lesson?" the woman scolded, pointing at Wu Xiaowu, "This Sangmenxing killed his biological mother from the moment he was born. The next day, my master was dismissed from office, and all the members of my Wu family were dismissed.
I am in trouble because of this lost star. A Taoist priest has long said that this girl is a demon star, and whoever she is with will be unlucky!"
As he said that, he pointed at the warrior Xun again: "It's because I don't believe it that my family is getting worse every year, and disasters happen every year! I said I was caught tonight and left, and my whole family had to go looking for it.
This is great, your eldest son broke his leg when he went out, and you, the father, don’t even know about it!"
After she finished speaking, the woman couldn't help sobbing.
The warrior Yu was stunned: "My son was injured when he went out tonight?"
"With this Sangmenxing here, it's like never before!"
This woman was so noisy that Bai Song frowned repeatedly.
This is someone else's family matter. It's not Bai Song's turn to say anything. But after hearing these words, Wu Xiaowu's face became more lonely. He no longer looked innocent and romantic like a child, but looked worried.
Then I felt inexplicably worried.
"Madam, you go back first and leave this matter to me." Warrior Xun took a deep breath and consoled her kindly.
"No! You must give me an explanation today. In this family, there is her but not me, and there is me but not her!"
As soon as these words came out, the warrior Xun's face changed drastically, and he became furious in front of Bai Song. He slapped his wife on the face, and there was a loud cracking sound!
Everyone was stunned, including the woman.
"You...you dare to hit me?!" The woman couldn't believe it.
Warrior Xun had a sullen face and whispered: "Get a pen and paper! I will divorce you tonight with a piece of paper!"
Warrior Xun was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He held the wall and pressed his chest while gasping for air.
"Old immortal, you... are you serious?!" the woman pressed eagerly, but she didn't see that her husband's face had turned blue.
When Bai Song saw it, he hurried forward, pressed the warrior Xun's chest, and shouted: "Get hot water quickly."
The servant reacted quickly enough and hurried out.
Bai Song took out a silver needle and gave it to Samurai Xun to help him regain his strength.
In an instant, the warrior Yu had returned from the gate of hell.
It wasn't until the samurai Xun applied heat to her heart that the woman realized her master was in danger. She regretted it immediately, didn't dare to lose her temper anymore, and quietly retreated.
Xu Ruan'er felt that it was boring to stay. He considered himself a man of the world and was most afraid of meeting these short-lived parents, so he took the opportunity to leave.
The warrior Xun did not stop him and asked someone to bring him silver as a reward, but Xu Ruan'er refused again.
When Xu Ruan'er left, he asked Bai Song if he wanted to leave together. Bai Song knew that Wu Xiaowu was different, so he naturally chose to stay.
But the warrior Yu didn't want Bai Song to stay. Now that his family's scandal was revealed in front of him, he certainly didn't want to see this person again.
Returning to the guest room, the warrior Xun saw Bai Song sitting upright and asked someone to give him the reward: "It's a small thought, I hope the master will accept it."
The purpose of sending the reward is to let Bai Song leave.
Bai Song still refused and asked: "I wonder how Lord Wu will prepare after tonight? I'm afraid that the Holy Lotus Sect will not give up."
This remark touched upon the difficulty of the warrior Yu, but this was not the time to discuss this. Warrior Yu did not respond and only said: "This is a matter of the Wu family, and the Wu family will make arrangements for it."
Bai Song frowned and saw Wu Xiaowu standing alone in the corner, silent.
When she was kidnapped by the villain before, this girl was able to remain calm in the face of danger and knew how to find the right moment to escape. However, now she behaves quietly and is unbearable.
If the other party is really Wu Zetian in the future, will everything I do now change her destiny? This is also something worth thinking about.
Bai Song didn't know how to deal with this matter, and at this time, a servant outside reported: "Master, there is a messenger from the capital asking to see him, saying that he wants to see the female relatives of the family."
"A missionary from the capital?" Warrior Yu was a little confused, "How to confirm the identity? Could it be that he is still a fake one from the Holy Lotus Sect?"
"It seems to be some kind of secret edict, and they even sent me a token."
The servant stepped forward and handed over the token. This warrior Yu had served as the governor of two states and was well-informed, so he naturally recognized the secret edict's token.
After seeing it, the identity of the other party was confirmed.
"Hurry and take your errands and go to the main hall to rest. I told Samurai Yu to come over soon."
The servant took the order and went.
The warrior Tong told Bai Song that he wanted to go to the capital to see his superior first, and then muttered what the superior meant by meeting his own daughter? At the same time, he asked Wu Xiaowu to come with him. This girl was also a daughter of the Wu family.
Bai Song was a little hesitant when he saw the two leaving.
Wu Xiaowu looked back at Bai Song, waved and forced a smile: "Brother, Xiaowu will come back to accompany you later."
Seeing this smile and hearing this soft and crisp voice, Bai Song felt an indescribable feeling of closeness in his heart.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Song suddenly stood up.
The warrior turned around and asked, "What else does the young master have to do?"
"Xiaowu can't go there!" Bai Song's expression gradually became serious.
"Why?"
"Mi Zhao Si came here for Xiao Wu. If she goes, she will definitely lose her life."
Bai Song's words are completely baseless, and ordinary people are baffled when they hear them.
However, Bai Song was certain that Master Yuan Tiangang must have tried his best to find the demon star for the emperor in order to clear himself of the charges.
The real demon star is here, and Yuan Tiangang may be able to calculate its various characteristics.
The best proof is that the people from the Secret Council came directly to Jingzhou. They searched one by one, which showed that there was a candidate with certain characteristics.
When Wu Xiaowu went there, he would probably be recognized on the spot.
If he were the emperor, he would definitely be executed on the spot if he knew there was a demon star.
How can it make sense that a little girl who doesn't know anything would cause misfortune?
The key point is that once this girl dies, Bai Song will no longer be suspected.
But how could Bai Song watch a seven or eight-year-old girl die because of him?
Bai Song stepped forward and pulled Wu Xiaowu to his side, and said seriously: "The emperor is determined to find the demon star! Wu Xiaowu is not an ordinary person. If she is caught, the emperor will not tolerate her!"
"You...who are you?" Warrior Yu was very surprised by what Bai Song said. Obviously, this warrior Yu should know something.
Bai Song said in a deep voice: "If you don't want your daughter to die, just listen to my arrangement now."
"Sir, please tell me."
"Inform everyone in the family immediately that Xiaowu is a boy. Change her into men's clothes immediately! Cut her hair short! Especially seal your wife's mouth and don't let her cause trouble."
Warrior Xun listened carefully and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for reminding me, sir. I will go and prepare now."
…
In the main hall, several secret ministers led by Qin Yuxiao sat down and ate and drank tea leisurely, not caring that the master had not come out to see guests for a long time.
They have been searching for people from house to house in Jingzhou for several days. They have not had any rest and have not gained anything at all. They all have many complaints in their hearts.
"Qin Tou, when did we get to know each other these days? Before I came out, I thought it was just a casual job. I didn't expect to be so tired. If I had known, I would have asked others to follow me."
"That's right, there are so many girls named Wu in Jingzhou, look at them one by one? Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?"
"Hmph!" Qin Yuxiao snorted coldly, "Don't complain, it's all the fault of Si Tianjian, who said that the demon star must be in Jingzhou City. Could it be that the Taoist priests of Si Tianjian are gods, thousands of miles away?
Do you all know who the demon star is? Now you even have a portrait! It makes me waste these days, so I might as well practice martial arts in seclusion."
"Boss, after we finish checking all the families, if we can't find the little girl in the portrait, we'll go back and ask the Taoist priest from Si Tianjian to see how he explains it."
While they were talking, someone came over from outside, and Warrior Xun greeted him with a smile: "Everyone, Sir, Warrior Xun, a civilian, has been rude."
"Qin Yuxiao, the Hundred Swords Division of the Secret Order Division, has met Mr. Wu."
"Hey, hey... the common people are no longer officials of the imperial court."
"Everyone knows that Mr. Wu's dismissal was a result of a strong frame-up by the local government. Qin Yuxiao knows that Mr. Wu is loyal and good."
The warrior Yu shook his head in shame, thinking of something and feeling quite emotional.
