Chapter 319 Blue Enchantress
After leaving Xunfang Pavilion, Wuha went to look for Lin Qing, but Lin Qing was not home due to a search mission. Wuha had no choice but to go home.
When Lin Qing returned home that evening, he heard that Wu Ha wanted to see him, so he went to Wu Ha's house.
Wuha then told Lin Qing what had happened at Xunfang Pavilion.
Lin Qing asked, "What does that sick woman look like?"
Uha thought for a moment and said, "She looks quite young, a very cute girl."
Lin Qing thought for a moment, then pulled out a pile of portraits from his pocket. These were all sketches he had drawn himself when he was bored, depicting the likenesses of Wang Wenzhou and his various babies. Of course, Lin Qing had never seen all of Wang Wenzhou's babies; he had only seen the baby Wang Wenzhou married when he was in Hanshan.
The reason Lin Qing painted portraits of Wang Wenzhou and the babies was to constantly remind herself that she carried a deep-seated blood feud and should never forget it.
"Wuha, take a look at these portraits. Is there anyone in Xunfang Pavilion among them?" Lin Qing asked.
Uha examined the portraits and found two pictures, one of Gao Guilan and the other of Wang Wenzhou.
"Haha!" Lin Qing laughed loudly, "Wuha, I'll treat you to drinks tomorrow, you've done me a great favor!"
After Lin Qing finished speaking, he left without looking back. He was going to immediately lead his troops to search Xunfang Pavilion.
These past two days, Lin Qing has been pondering who could orchestrate such a horrific act in the Qing Dynasty. Although Lin Qing is in the Qing Dynasty, he still keeps an eye on the affairs of the Ming Dynasty because of his hatred. He even asks a merchant from the Ming Dynasty to send him every issue of the "Hanshan Weekly."
Lin Qing felt that the person who planned this was somewhat like Wang Wenzhou, because in his mind, only Wang Wenzhou was so shameless.
Now Lin Qing can finally be certain that this was definitely Wang Wenzhou's doing.
Back at the camp, Lin Qing ordered, "Everyone, fully armed, follow me to capture the spy. Xu Fei, go to Prince Rui's residence and tell him that I suspect the mastermind behind this is Wang Wenzhou, the Vice Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, who is currently hiding in Xunfang Pavilion."
"Yes!" Xu Fei immediately went to deliver the message to Dorgon.
Lin Qing led his team to Xunfang Pavilion.
Because of the numerous explosions that have occurred in the past two days, and the extensive search of the city by the Qing army, Xunfang Pavilion is not open for business today.
The madam hurriedly went up to him and asked, "Sir, may I ask what brings you to Xunfang Pavilion? The government has ordered that brothels are not allowed to operate for the next few days. If you wish to find a girl, please come another day."
"Heh!" Lin Qing sneered, "I'm here to search for Ming Dynasty spies."
The madam frowned and said doubtfully, "Sir, someone searched the place this morning but didn't find any spies."
Lin Qing waved his hand and ordered, "Search thoroughly, don't miss a single corner!"
"Yes, sir!" the soldiers replied.
Lin Qing took out the portrait in his hand, pointed to Wang Wenzhou's portrait, and asked, "This man is Wang Wenzhou, the Vice Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and the heir of the Earl of Xinjian. Today I received a secret report that he is in Xunfang Pavilion. If you want to live, quickly tell me where he is hiding?"
The madam's name was Zhang Rucui. Although she was a woman, she was one of the few female centurions in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. She knew Wang Wenzhou's importance and knew that nothing could happen to him.
Zhang Rucui carefully examined the portrait for a while, then said in a serious tone, "Sir, you must be mistaken. I have never seen these two people in the portrait."
"Heh!" Lin Qing sneered, "I advise you..."
Before Lin Qing could finish speaking, Zhang Rucui suddenly drew a soft sword from her waist and thrust it straight at Lin Qing's throat.
For the past year, Lin Qing had been diligently practicing martial arts in order to seek revenge, never slacking off. Moreover, he was certain that Wang Wenzhou was in Xunfang Pavilion, so he had been secretly observing Zhang Rucui.
Zhang Rucui's sword strike was easily dodged by Lin Qing, who then swung his broadsword at her.
"Bang!" Lin Qing's force was so great that Zhang Rucui's hand went numb.
"Smugglers!" Zhang Rucui suddenly shouted.
"Smugglers" is a code word. It means that if Wang Wenzhou is in danger of being exposed when the Xunfang Pavilion is inspected by the Qing army, all the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) in the Xunfang Pavilion will fight to the death to hold off the Qing army and allow Wang Wenzhou to retreat through the secret passage.
No sooner had Zhang Rucui finished speaking than a girl suddenly ran out of the room, shouting, "The war will not end, the holy war will not cease!"
"Bang!" The bomb vest on her body exploded, and several Qing soldiers next to her were instantly killed.
Xunfang Pavilion had a total of 24 girls and 18 servants, all of whom were secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. At that time, Wang Wenzhou had just begun training assassins and was not yet fully trained, so he did not have any manpower to send to Liaodong.
Subsequently, the Imperial Guards inside Xunfang Pavilion all took out their weapons and fought with the Qing soldiers.
"Bang! Bang!" Girls would occasionally ignite the bomb vests on their bodies.
These secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were mainly responsible for gathering information. Since their combat skills were relatively low, they all wore reduced-weight bomb vests, ready to sacrifice themselves at any time to inform Wang Wenzhou in the secret room.
Wang Wenzhou was holding his babies, who were sleeping soundly with their bottoms exposed.
Hearing the explosion, Wang Wenzhou immediately woke up and shouted, "Babies, quickly get dressed and run for your lives!"
"Bang! Bang!" Jiang Zhenghe knocked on the door from outside, saying urgently, "Master, something bad has happened! Our identities have been exposed, and the Qing soldiers are coming. Please retreat immediately."
Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Execute the Blue Rose Plan immediately!"
Jiang Zhenghe quickly replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"
"Blue Enchantress" was Wang Wenzhou's plan to escape. After receiving the order, Jiang Zhenghe immediately escaped through the secret passage. Once outside the passage, he took out three signal arrows from his body, and they flew into the night sky.
The whistling arrow made a piercing sound, flew to its highest point and exploded, the blue flames of the explosion were quite beautiful, like blue flowers.
These whistling arrows were specially made by Wang Wenzhou. They contained sulfur, which would burn with a blue flame in the air. Of course, most people in the Ming Dynasty would not know this, so only Wang Wenzhou would have these whistling arrows.
At this moment, the assassins who were originally hiding in the city saw the signal arrow and put down what they were doing to carry out the mission without hesitation.
The assassins called the Blue Enchantress the Death Order. Once this plan was implemented, no matter where they were or what they were doing, as soon as they saw the signal arrow, they had to create a riot immediately, whether it was killing or exploding, the bigger the commotion, the better.
It was nighttime, curfew, and the streets were filled with Qing soldiers patrolling. Making a big fuss meant they were committing suicide. But no one would disobey Wang Wenzhou's orders, a result of his month of training.
……
Upon receiving Lin Qing's report, Dorgon immediately led a large force to Xunfang Pavilion, as he was determined to capture Wang Wenzhou alive and recruit him for his own use.
"Bi Xiu..." Three whistling arrows shot into the night sky.
Dorgon gazed at the blue flames in the sky and smiled slightly. It seemed Wang Wenzhou really was at Xunfang Pavilion.
"Quickly!" Dorgon ordered, "Immediately seal off the area within ten miles of Drunken Flower Pavilion. No one is allowed to leave without my order! Also, send a message to Lin Qing: capture Wang Wenzhou alive!"
"The war will not end, the holy war will not cease!" Before Dorgon could finish giving his order, he suddenly heard someone shouting slogans and running towards the troops from the darkness.
"Shoot the arrows! Don't let him get close!" Dorgon's personal guard captain hurriedly ordered.
"Bang!" After being shot, the man's explosive vest caught fire.
