Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang and Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's expression and were secretly delighted. They knew that the chicken had successfully attracted Xu Damao's attention, and now it depended on whether he was willing to help them.

Wang Qiang knew that it was time to win over people's hearts, and he realized that he needed to establish a deeper connection with Xu Damao so that they could get more help. So he decided to have a sincere conversation with Xu Damao in an attempt to gain his trust and support.

"Xu Damao, I know you hold a very high status in the ancient city. Perhaps you can help us." Wang Qiang said straight to the point, his eyes firm and sincere.

When Xu Damao heard Wang Qiang's words, his expression changed slightly. He didn't know what Wang Qiang was going to say, but he decided to listen to the other party's intentions first.

"We came to the ancient city to explore the historical truth, but now we have encountered some difficulties." Wang Qiang continued, his voice revealing a hint of sincerity and expectation.

Xu Damao listened quietly, and a sense of curiosity gradually surged in his heart. He was not sure about the real purpose of these explorers, but he felt Wang Qiang's sincerity, which made him willing to listen.

"We need some help and hope you can cooperate with us to solve the current difficulties together." After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he waited for Xu Damao's response. He knew that this decision might determine their fate.

Xu Damao was silent for a while, thinking about Wang Qiang's request, and he began to hesitate. He knew that his choice would have a significant impact on the future of the ancient city, but he also understood that this was a decision that needed careful consideration.

Finally, Xu Damao spoke: "I need some time to consider your request, but I can assure you that I will do my best to help you." There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, but also determination.

Wang Qiang was secretly delighted when he heard this. He knew that this was an important development and Xu Damao's support might bring them more opportunities and resources. He expressed his gratitude and said that he was willing to wait for Xu Damao's decision.

Wang Qiang and Xiao'e's request did not seem to immediately gain Xu Damao's full trust. In the ancient city, their actions aroused the suspicion of some people, especially Yi Zhonghai's men, who began to doubt Wang Qiang and Xiao'e's true intentions.

When Wang Qiang and Xiao'e walked on the stone road of the ancient city again, they felt the pressure and hostility around them. People's eyes began to become more vigilant and hostile, and their actions became more cautious.

"Wang Qiang, we have to be careful. Our actions have aroused some people's suspicion." Xiao'e whispered to Wang Qiang, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Wang Qiang nodded, and he also felt the atmosphere around him become tense. He knew that this was a dangerous moment, and any mistake could lead to the failure of their plan.

At this moment, they suddenly found a figure quietly following them. Wang Qiang's heart tightened, and he immediately pulled Xiao'e to a secluded corner, trying to get rid of the follower.

"We are being followed!" Wang Qiang whispered to Xiao'e, with a hint of nervousness and anxiety in his voice.

Xiao'e also felt her heart tighten, and she began to look for hiding places around her, trying to find a way to escape. But she also knew that the current situation was extremely dangerous, and they had to be careful to avoid being discovered by the other party.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Wang Qiang, Xiao'e, what are you doing here?"

Wang Qiang and Xiao'e looked up and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai. He looked at them seriously, as if doubting their motives.

Wang Qiang and Xiao'e could not help but feel anxious when facing Yi Zhonghai's questioning. They knew that there must be a reasonable explanation, otherwise they might get into bigger trouble.

"Yi Zhonghai, we are here just to find some historical clues and understand the truth about the ancient city." Wang Qiang tried to explain, with a hint of honesty and frankness in his voice.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, he did not completely believe Wang Qiang's words. He felt a little strange, Wang Qiang and Xiao'e's actions did not seem to be looking for the historical truth, but more like doing something else.

"I don't quite believe your explanation. Why did you come here at this time?" Yi Zhonghai's voice was filled with suspicion and distrust.

Wang Qiang's heart tightened, he knew that now he had to have a more convincing explanation. Suddenly, he thought of something - Qin Huairu.

"Yi Zhonghai, maybe we went in the wrong direction. We are actually looking for Qin Huairu." Wang Qiang felt a little uneasy when he said this name. He knew that Qin Huairu was Yi Zhonghai's subordinate, and mentioning her name might arouse Yi Zhonghai's vigilance.

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu's name, his brows slightly frowned, and he began to have doubts in his heart. He didn't know what the relationship was between Wang Qiang, Xiao'e and Qin Huairu, but he felt that this matter seemed a little strange.

"Are you looking for Qin Huairu? Why?" Yi Zhonghai's voice revealed a hint of doubt and confusion.

Wang Qiang tried to stay calm, but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, which made him frown. This sudden pain made him feel uneasy, and he began to worry whether it would affect his thinking and expression ability.

"What's wrong, Wang Qiang? Your neck looks uncomfortable." Xiao'e asked with concern. She noticed the painful expression on Wang Qiang's face and felt a little worried in her heart.

Wang Qiang tried to move his neck to relieve the pain, but it didn't work. He sighed inwardly, thinking that it was really inappropriate for such a thing to happen at this time.

"It's okay, just my neck is a little sore. It might be due to the prolonged tension and discomfort." Wang Qiang tried to downplay his symptoms, not wanting to cause trouble for Xiao'e, but his voice revealed a hint of fatigue and anxiety.

Xiao'e looked at Wang Qiang, her heart filled with worry and helplessness. She knew that Wang Qiang had always been a strong man, but at this moment his fragility was clearly visible. She wanted to lend a hand, but she didn't know how to help him, so she could only accompany him silently.

At this critical moment, Wang Qiang felt his own fragility and helplessness, and he realized that he needed more support and care. He was grateful for Xiao'e's concern, but he also knew that now was the time to solve the problem, and he had to find a way to relieve his pain as soon as possible in order to continue to face the predicament at hand.

Wang Qiang and Xiao'e fell into a lonely situation, they were surrounded by dangers in the ancient city and faced unforeseen challenges. Wang Qiang's neck was in constant pain, and Xiao'e accompanied him silently, feeling helpless and anxious.
