A Clash of Gods - Chapter 989

[Chapter 979]

Qin Yuege said very cautiously: “I can’t be completely sure about my position, but according to the clues obtained from the current investigation, Tian Dong’s family should have been taken to Guimen Cliff, and then disappeared there. ()”

Although Qi Ning looked very calm on the face, he was very surprised in his heart. This time Tian Xuerong followed him to the East China Sea. Qi Ning asked himself to protect Tian Xuerong. One day, someone actually attacked Tian Xuerong.

The other party forged his letter and deceived Tian Xuerong’s trust, at least to prove that the other party has been paying attention to him, and knowing that Tian Xuerong’s UC letter will definitely be hooked, then the other party certainly understands his relationship with Tian Xuerong.

This incident is less likely to go to Tian Xuerong, I’m afraid it will come to him after all.

“Have you checked carefully at Ghost Gate Cliff, are there any traces of Tian Dong’s family or others?”

Qin Yuege shook his head and said, “The other party did a very clean job, leaving no other clues. Even the hoof prints of that horse can’t be traced any more. There is only one possibility after thinking about it.”

“What is possible?”

“The man took Tian Dong’s family to Guimen Cliff on horseback. There was a boat waiting there, and even the people and horses boarded the boat and left.” Qin Yuege said: “If this is the case, it can explain why the horse has never turned around again. Horseshoe prints.”

“Let’s go to sea with people and horses?” Qi Ning frowned, “What are you going to do?”

Qin Yuege said: “I can’t be sure of a humble position, unless!”

“Unless what?”

“Unless the other party is a pirate.” Qin Yuege said sternly: “They found out that Tian Dong’s family has a relationship with Hou Ye, and they didn’t dare to attack Hou Ye if they had no chance, so they took the next step and shot at Tian Dong’s family.”

Qi Ning frowned, “You mean that the kidnappers who kidnapped Tian Dong’s family might be pirates?”

Qin Yuege nodded and said: “Judging from the current indications, it is possible. () The people who hire cars are like fishermen, and they seem to be seeking a living at sea all year round, but how can ordinary fishermen have the courage to kidnap Tian Dong’s family? The man was a pirate.”

Wei Yujiang didn’t speak for a while, and finally said: “Qin Facao, you said that the other party is a pirate, so what is the purpose of their kidnapping Tian Dong’s family? So far, Lord Hou has not had any direct conflict with the islands in the East China Sea. Why did they kidnap Tian Dong’s family?”

“It’s hard to figure out what a humble job is.” Qin Yuege frowned and said, “Maybe they have something to ask of Lord Hou.”

“Are you asking me? Kidnap Tian Dong’s family and make conditions for me?” Qi Ning sneered, “Could it be that they want to surrender to the imperial court and accept recruiting?” He waved to Qin Yuege, Qin Yuege was busy approaching the past, and Qi Ning was the only one Whispered: “Is it possible that it has something to do with those big families?”

“Master Hou is saying that the Lu family took revenge on Tian Dong’s family for what happened last time?” Qin Yuege understood and immediately understood what Qi Ning meant, and said softly, “Although I am not sure about my humble position, it is unlikely.”

“Oh?”

“Although they have strong financial resources, they are very clear in their hearts that the imperial court has never relaxed their surveillance.” Qin Yuege said in a low voice, “Lu Ziheng is still recovering from his injuries. It is being cautious, and at this time, I would never dare to act rashly. Although the business of the three major families has grown bigger and bigger over the years, they still abide by the laws of the court. They are very clear in their hearts.

Qi Ning stared at Qin Yuege with deep eyes: “Do you think they dare not do anything?”

“Master Hou, they already know the relationship between Tian Dong’s family and you.” Qin Yuege said softly: “If Tian Dong’s family is missing, Hou Ye will definitely investigate thoroughly. Dare to bring disaster to your family because of this.”

Although the three major families have strong financial resources in the East China Sea, in the eyes of the imperial marquis, they are nothing more than merchants. If Qi Ning really wants to take care of a few merchants with the status of Jinyihou, it is not too difficult.

Although Qi Ning and Jiang Suiyun had conflicts,

Even a few days ago, Lu Ziheng was beaten in public, but after all, this was only a small conflict, and for the three major families, it was by no means a fatal conflict.

What Qin Yuege said was not unreasonable. Without a fatal conflict, of course, the three major families would not easily provoke Qi Ning.

“So, it is most likely that the East China Sea pirates kidnapped Tian Dong’s family?” Qi Ning thought for a while before asking, “If they kidnapped Tian Dong’s family for me, then they will definitely take the initiative. Contact me, and at that time, you can know what they want to do.”

Qin Yuege nodded and said, “If their purpose of holding Tian Dong’s family hostage is to put forward conditions to Lord Hou, they will definitely contact Lord Hou again.”

“Qin Facao, whether he was kidnapped by pirates, we are only guessing.” Qi Ning’s eyes were like a knife, and he whispered: “It can’t be completely ruled out that the three major families are not involved in this matter. Do you understand what I mean?”

Qin Yuege said softly: “Master Hou, the humble office has sent people to investigate the three major families secretly. If there are any abnormal signs on their side, they will report it to Master Hou immediately.”

“How far is the Ghost Gate Cliff you said from Gulin City?” Qi Ning thought for a while before asking softly, “Is there anyone left to guard over there?”

“Master Hou, the other party kidnapped Tian Dong’s family while Master Hou went out to sea. The timing was just right.” Qin Yuege said: “Since they have left traces on Guimen Cliff, I believe that they should not show their faces on Guimen Cliff again.”

Qi Ning gave an “oh”, turned around and sat down on the chair, thought for a moment, and finally said, “Qin Facao, take me to Guimen Cliff.”

“Master Hou is going to Guimen Cliff?” Qin Yuege was stunned, and immediately persuaded: “If Master Hou thinks that there is still a clue to Guimen Cliff, I will leave immediately. You just came back, still!”

“Qin Facao, if it were you who took the hostages, would there be any flaws everywhere?” Qi Ning said slowly, “This kidnapping case, from the very beginning, left clues everywhere, and finally led to the ghost gate cliff. , the clues are cut off, do you think this is the kidnapper’s mistake, or is it intentional?”

Qin Yuege’s brows tensed slightly, realizing something, and said softly, “Master Hou is saying that this is a clue left by the other party on purpose?”

“It should be like this.” Qi Ning said: “The clue is that the clue disappeared at the Ghost Gate Cliff, so there must be something strange in the Ghost Gate Cliff.” He got up and said, “It’s not too late, if it is convenient for you, we will immediately leave for the Ghost Gate Cliff. .”

“Beijing post will mobilize the yacha.” Qin Yuege cupped his hands and said, “Master Hou will wait a moment, and the subordinate post will gather all the troops and come over immediately.”

“No need.” Qi Ning shook his head and said, “If I guessed correctly, a large number of soldiers and horses rushed over, and we still found nothing. The purpose of the other party’s tricks is probably to see me. Since he took great pains, I will give it to him. a chance.”

Qin Yuege said anxiously: “Master Hou, Guimenya is more than 30 miles away from Gulin City. It is located by the sea. It is sparsely populated and very remote. How can you easily get involved in danger because of your noble status?” He took a step forward and said, “If Lord Hou believes in the humble post, the humble post will go alone to see if he finds anything. No matter if he finds anything, he will immediately come back and report to the Lord Hou.”

“I brought Donghai from Tian Dong’s family. I can’t stand by and watch something happen to her.” Qi Ning shook his head and said, “And the other party is coming at me, so there is no reason for me to hide behind.” Persuaded, waved his hand and said: “You don’t need to say more, if Qin Facao thinks this trip is dangerous, you can stay, and Ben Hou will go alone.”

Qin Yuege immediately knelt down on the ground and said solemnly, “Since the Marquis has made up his mind, he should accompany him to go with him.

Wei Yujiang said anxiously: “Master Hou, is this a plan to let Leader Wu lead people to ambush nearby, and if something really happens, it’s better to respond at any time.”

“Tian Dong’s family is in their hands, and the initiative is already in their hands.” Qi Ning shook his head and said, “If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t get a tiger’s son. Ask Wu Dalin to come over, I have something to assign to him.”

Wei Yujiang hesitated for a moment, but still bowed his hands and retreated. After a while, Wei Yujiang brought Wu Dalin over, and Qi Ning instructed: “Qin Facao, you go out and wait for me first, and Wei Sishen will help me prepare the horse.

Wu Dalin was startled when he saw the thing, and Qi Ning had already whispered: “Leader Wu, this is the Suzaku Ling of the Beggar Gang, you take the Vermillion Bird Ling, go to the Beggar Gang’s sub-rudder overnight to lie down, find Zhang Yuelu’s sub-rudder master Jing Shou, and ask him to do something for me.”

“The Beggar Gang?” Wu Dalin was quite surprised.

Qi Ning leaned close to Wu Dalin’s ear and whispered a few words, Wu Dalin’s expression became serious, and he whispered: “Master Hou, you are suspicious!” Before he finished speaking, Qi Ning stopped and said, “It’s hard to judge for the time being, this matter is hard to judge. Let the beggars do it, the most appropriate. You tell Jing Shou, once there is news, you can make an appointment with you, and I will go to see him in person at that time.”

Wu Dalin put away the Vermilion Bird Order without saying much, and backed away.

Qi Ning sat silently on the chair for a while, finally took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, “The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop, but the more tired it is, the more interesting it becomes!”

Qi Ning and Qin Yuege left Gulin City overnight. After leaving the city, they headed southeast. Qin Yuege was familiar with the terrain and led the way in front of the flying horse. Qi Ning followed behind Qin Yuege. Go in the direction of Guimen Cliff.

Thirty li said that it was not far, and he was riding fast, and he had already arrived before Zi Shi. The moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and before he got close to the Guimen Cliff, he heard waves of seas that made one’s back feel cold. The sound of the wind, if it wasn’t for Qin Yuege’s explanation, it would really make people feel that there are ghosts at Guimenya.

Guimen Cliff is actually a rock cliff protruding towards the sea. It is more than ten meters high from the sea. The rocks are rugged. With a whimper, Qi Ning got off his horse, looked around, there was a dead silence, and walked to the stone cliff by the moonlight, overlooking from a high place, the waves bursting, the stormy waves seemed to swallow those jagged rocks
