Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Yuxiao didn't want to talk nonsense and said directly: "I am here on the emperor's order. I want to meet the female members of the Wu family. Please make it convenient for me."
"This..." Samurai Yu looked a little embarrassed.
"Don't worry, sir. The emperor asked Qin Yuxiao to come because he knew this was inconvenient. The subordinate is a woman, so there won't be any rumors."
Warrior Xun nodded.
Warrior Xun personally took Qin Yuxiao to the inner courtyard.
The Wu family's inner courtyard has already been prepared, and all the family members and maids are already waiting outside.
Qin Yuxiao asked a maid to follow him with a lantern, holding the official roster in one hand and a portrait in the other.
Then walk past each person and compare them carefully.
Qin Yuxiao worked more carefully, because he heard that the demon star was most likely a girl, but young women were not excluded, so he checked them one by one.
After quickly looking around, the warrior Yu took the opportunity to ask: "What did you find, sir?"
Qin Yuxiao asked with their names: "There are two boys and three girls in your Wu family. Where are they? Why are they missing?"
Warrior Xun remained calm and winked at his wife. The woman was a little nervous and went to call the children out of the room.
The children were silent and stood side by side obediently.
Qin Yuxiao stood in front of the children, glanced at them, and frowned: "Why are there three boys and two girls?"
The warrior Xun smiled and said: "There is an error in the official list. My little five is a man originally, but because he is a bit squeamish, he is teased by the neighbors and called Mei Niang. I didn't expect the government to take it seriously."
"Oh? There is such a thing?"
Qin Yuxiao didn't pay attention. The ancient roster records were incomplete and there were often errors and omissions. There were many mistakes in the names of men and women.
Qin Yuxiao looked at the roster, then squatted down, stood in front of Xiao Wu, and said softly: "Raise your head."
Xiaowu raised his head obediently, with tears shining in his eyes, looking pitiful.
"Tsk, tsk, you are indeed a bit squeamish, like a girl."
Warrior Xun smiled lightly: "I made you laugh."
Qin Yuxiao didn't stay in front of Xiaowu for long, and turned to look at the third girl.
When the warrior Yu saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his feelings were over.
Unexpectedly, when Qin Yuxiao saw the three girls of the Wu family, she let out a light sigh and immediately took out the portraits to compare.
When the warrior Yu saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he secretly said something bad.
Although the three sisters of the Wu family are not of the same mother, they all inherited the blood of the warrior Yu, and their appearance is somewhat similar.
After comparing, Qin Yuxiao felt that these three girls were the most similar girls she had searched for so far, and she was immediately excited.
But she didn't decide immediately. She looked at the four girls again, but she didn't expect that they were all very similar!
Qin Yuxiao's eyebrows were filled with joy, and she secretly thought that she could finally go back and resume her life!
Qin Yuxiao stood up, with a straight face, and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Several police officers outside heard the shouting and immediately rushed into the inner courtyard.
The scene instantly became chaotic.
The female members of the Wu family screamed and huddled together, while several children were so frightened that they cried loudly.
The warrior Yu stopped in front of Qin Yuxiao and scolded: "What are you going to do? I have contributed to the founding of the country, how can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"
Qin Yuxiao bowed her hands and saluted, and took out the imperial edict and the portrait: "Master Wu, this is the emperor's imperial edict. I have been ordered to find the woman in the painting and return to the capital. Please don't embarrass me."
"The emperor cannot arrest people arbitrarily! Besides, they are still children!"
"My lord, don't be nervous. I just brought them back to the capital for a brief inspection. They may not be the ones the emperor is looking for. Once they arrive in the capital, there will be no suspicion. I will personally escort the two daughters back to the palace. How can I feel relieved?"
The warrior Yun felt relieved after hearing this, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you serious about what you said? Are you going to send my daughter back?"
"Of course, the secret edict handles the case openly and will never treat the two daughters badly. Just don't embarrass the official. As you can see, this is a portrait issued by the imperial court. It happens to be similar to the two daughters. If the official leaves like this
How to explain to the court?"
"Then..." Samurai Xun changed his words and seemed to be a little loosened.
But the warrior Tong did not say anything, but the woman behind started crying: "Immortal thing, the fifth is your daughter, the third and fourth are not your sons? You have to sacrifice two girls to protect you
A girl? Have you lost your mind and gone crazy! On duty, a civilian woman has something to say, this Xiao Wu is a woman disguised as a man! The girl in the portrait is clearly Xiao Wu!"
"You stupid woman!" Warrior Xun got up angrily and almost rushed to hit someone, but was gently stopped by Qin Yuxiao.
"Master Wu, it seems this matter is not that simple!"
"Sir...Sir, please listen to my explanation!"
Qin Yuxiao ignored him, returned to Xiao Wu, and asked with a smile: "Little girl, are you a girl or a boy?"
Xiaowu was so frightened that he was trembling all over and could not speak. Tears were dripping from his eyes.
Qin Yuxiao smiled and reached out to touch it. Without waiting for Xiao Wu's reaction, he understood instantly. Then he took off her headscarf and took out the portrait to compare.
Although her hair was shorter, her facial features were very similar to those in the portrait, which made Qin Yuxiao couldn't help but murmur: "Do the people in Si Tianjian really have clairvoyance? How do you know that Jingzhou, thousands of miles away, has such a vision?"
A good-looking girl?”
In any case, now that the situation is clear, Qin Yuxiao is determined and points to Xiao Wu: "Take the person away!"
"Dad! Help me..." Xiao Wu turned around and ran away, but was grabbed by Qin Yuxiao and suddenly lifted up. He could only yell helplessly.
Warrior Xun stood up, but before he made any move, Qin Yuxiao's sword was already placed on his neck.
"Lord Wu, it's hard to be demoted."
With a sad look on his face, Warrior Xun knelt helplessly on the ground and lowered his head: "Xiao Wu, dad is incompetent... I can't save you..."
Wu Xiaowu cried and struggled hard, but to no avail. She saw her father kneeling on the ground and knew that it would be difficult to save her. Then she thought of the people in the living room and shouted: "Brother...brother..."
She was too far away and her voice couldn't reach the other side. Qin Yuxiao stopped comforting her and let her cry. Finally, she put away her sword, called to her men, and then pointed at the two remaining girls: "These two are also
Take them away together!"
"What?" The woman was stunned upon hearing this, "Sir, you can't do this... These are my children! Please let them go..."
When the remaining two little girls saw the official coming, they were so frightened that they cried: "Dad... mother... wu wu..."
The entire Wu family was in chaos, shouting and crying, but Bai Song was nowhere to be found.
…
The sky turned white, and a glimmer of light fell.
A lot of things happened last night, but everything seemed to finally calm down before dawn.
Qin Yuxiao left with the three girls, and the sound of children crying could be heard throughout the street.
The policeman behind was a little impatient and wanted to slap the girl hard, but Qin Yuxiao stopped him.
"What are you going to do?!"
"Boss, how can this girl from the Wu family be so noisy! Give them a few slaps to make them more honest."
"I said I would never treat them harshly. Do you think my words are nonsense? A grown man can't even bear a girl crying? Why don't I cut off your ears so that you can't hear them making noises."
The policeman was startled and said quickly: "Boss, calm down, I, I, I... I was joking."
"Brother...brother...save me..."
In Qin Yuxiao's hands, Wu Xiaowu's shouts became smaller and smaller. Finally, he was tired and kept shouting in a daze.
"Who is your brother? Why isn't it over yet?" Qin Yuxiao asked curiously.
Looking down, the little girl was so tired that she fell asleep.
At this moment, Bai Song's voice came from the front of the street: "Her brother is me."
Bai Song walked towards Qin Yuxiao coldly at the intersection of Hengdao Street.
"White Song Dynasty?!" Qin Yuxiao was surprised.
"Let him go!" Bai Song said in a commanding tone.
When several police officers heard this, they felt something was wrong and quickly drew their swords to take a stance.
"Let him go?" Qin Yuxiao smiled, "Why?"
"With the knife in my hand!" Bai Song whispered, showing his scimitar and pointing it directly at Qin Yuxiao.
"Hahaha..." Several policemen laughed after hearing this.
They knew that Qin Yuxiao was very powerful and ranked second in the Hundred Swords Division, but with this ranking, ordinary people would not dare to provoke him.
This young boy actually threatened Qin Tou, wasn't he looking for death?
But Qin Yuxiao frowned slightly. She had seen the power of Bai Song's sword. The power of that sword was enough to move mountains and seas. It was the strongest move she had ever seen in her life.
There are countless masters in the world, but none of them can have the power of Bai Song's sword.
Although she also saw Bai Song's flaw, it was that he couldn't use it freely, and after that sword, he ran out of energy and could no longer fight.
But what if he knew these many flaws? The deterrent was always there. Qin Yuxiao was sure of defeating Bai Song, but he also knew that he might die miserably.
Her frown was a sign of hesitation. If it was an unnecessary battle, she was not willing to risk it.
Moreover, there are two very difficult opponents beside this boy. Even Longshan Mountain is difficult for her to deal with. There is also an even more powerful Sword Thirteen.
After thinking about it, Qin Yuxiao softened her tone: "Do you know that she is the person the emperor is looking for?"
"Know."
"Then do you know that this girl may be the legendary demon star?"
"Know."
"Did you know that her life could clear your mind?"
"Know."
"In that case, why did you bother to stop me?"
"She and I are both demon stars. To save her is to save ourselves! As long as I am here today, I will never let you leave! If necessary, I will kill you today to silence you!"
"Qin Tou, why are you talking nonsense to him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword fell from the sky and plunged into the ground with a bang. The huge impact directly overturned several officials behind him.
Then, Jian Shisan fell down, stopped in front of the two parties, and sneered: "If you don't want to talk nonsense, then draw the sword."
Qin Yuxiao finally looked fearful and took a few steps back: "Bai Song, do you know what the consequences will be if today's events are heard by the emperor?"
"So I'm thinking about whether to kill someone and silence them!"
Qin Yuxiao's heart sank, thinking that this Sword Thirteen would kill people in an instant, and there would be no way out in a matter of life and death.
"Don't! I... I swore that I would keep my mouth shut. When I returned to Beijing, I would say that I had not found the person with the portrait. These three girls were given to you because they were serving the imperial court. Don't do this..."
Bai Song nodded: "It's good that you know! If what happened today comes out, it doesn't matter if I die, this sword will definitely find you today!"
After saying this, Qin Yuxiao did not dare to stay any longer, so he let him go and left quickly with his men.
But after several people left, Jian Shisan finally couldn't hold himself back and spit out a mouthful of black blood and fainted to the ground.
