Chapter 1397: Each One Goes His Own Way
Over the years, he has not been able to make a better magic weapon with the Kind Mother Needle, but there is a natural connection between the Kind Mother Needle and "Smooth Sailing", just like the concern between a loving mother and her child who travels far away, and Qi Yunsheng can locate the murderer by tracking "Smooth Sailing"!
He stood up and said to the two disciples: "Follow me to chase the murderer!"
Bo and Fu both responded in unison.
Then Qi Yunsheng explained a few things in the village, and pointed out dozens of village guards, together with more than 100 elite soldiers under Xue Zongwu, and followed the instructions of the Kind Mother Needle to chase westward.
No one noticed that the big tree that Fu Wending had just jumped on had a small black shadow lurking in the branches, and twelve eyes silently observed everything that happened below.
After Qi Yunsheng gathered all the people, it jumped and landed lightly on the forehead of a village guard, and then hid in the folds of the headscarf.
In the dark, it was difficult for anyone to find it.
The first wingsuit flight of the Weng brothers was surprisingly successful.
Although the flight trajectory was twisty and the direction and speed could not be controlled, the gentle and stable wind that night still brought the brothers to the ground.
Weng Xing fell flat on his face, got up and walked a few steps, his head was still confused; Weng Su's wingsuit was caught on the treetops, and it took a lot of effort to land.
He was reluctant to cut off the newly acquired wingsuit - it was made in Songyang Prefecture, and it was not so easy to cut.
It took more than a quarter of an hour for the two brothers to reunite on the ground, and they all felt that they had survived a disaster.
Weng Xing grinned and laughed, and blood hissed in his mouth.
"What's wrong with your mouth?"
"A broken tooth." Weng Xing was very satisfied. The price of a night of adventure was a broken tooth, an injured arm, and a burned hand. It was worth it, too worth it!
"Where's the benefactor?"
"I don't know. I lost sight of him halfway through the flight." To be precise, when Weng Su jumped off the cliff, he could still see the figure of the Nine Nether Emperor. His flying posture was much more graceful than his, like a mountain eagle soaring in the night sky.
Then he watched him slide sideways across the valley and into the night, as light as a leaf.
He couldn't catch up with him no matter what.
The black-armored man left quietly, just as he appeared without warning.
Even though the two brothers had profound cultivation, they felt a chill at his elusiveness.
But anyway, tonight was a great success.
"Brother, do you think we can see the Nine Nether Emperor again?" Weng Xing stroked the newly acquired flying wings, a little disappointed, "I've always wanted to ask him if the Black Armor Army is still short of people."
The flying wings were really well made. In comparison, the night clothes on his body were shabby. If he wore that iconic black armor, he would also be majestic!
How could Weng Su know? But he knew very well how to deal with his brother: "Yes! We have always helped those who were injustice. If the Nine Nether Emperor doesn't accept people like us, who else can he accept? But we have to leave now, the farther away from Mangzhou, the better!"
"This seems to be north of Mangzhou." Weng Xing's ability to distinguish directions is outstanding, "Aha, let's go, they shouldn't have closed the city gate yet!"
Mangzhou is a wealthy city that never sleeps. There is no curfew or closure of the city. No matter how late at night, there are always people coming in and out.
It's usually like this.
The two threw away their night clothes, reeked of alcohol, and mixed with a group of drunk merchants who were laughing and joking, and went to the north gate.
The suburbs of Mangzhou are also very prosperous, with houses lined up one after another, and restaurants and inns are everywhere, but the prices are much cheaper than in the city. The city has good security, and the city gates are not closed at night-this is one of the factors that the Weng brothers and He Lingchuan chose to start in Mangzhou-many merchants go into the city to discuss business and eat, and go out of the city to stay in inns to sleep.
The crazy drunkards and the night guards at the city gate had seen it all before, and they didn't think the Weng brothers were anything special, and even took two steps back in disgust.
Weng Su grabbed his brother who was about to vomit.
That's enough, it's over if you act again!
The brothers walked out of the north gate with crab steps.
They had only been away for a few dozen breaths when there was a commotion behind them.
The two turned around and saw a team of torches running towards the city gate, shouting: "Close the gate, close the gate quickly! No one is allowed to go in or out!"
"Those who went outside, you, yes, you, all come back!"
Soon, the gate of the city that never sleeps slowly closed with the sound of the mechanism and the noise of people coming in and out.
At this time, the Weng brothers had already walked to the low hill outside the city, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
It was a close call, they would have been blocked in the city if they were a step later!
"Brother, we are out!" Weng Xing woke up from a dream, "We have avenged our great hatred, and we are still alive!"
They were ready to die. Only two things could happen tonight:
Kill Xue Zongwu.
Or be killed by Xue Zongwu.
But they successfully avenged themselves - well, there were some twists and turns in the middle - and escaped safely.
"Lucky!" Weng Su opened his mouth in a flowery way, but the next sentence was broken, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be able to breathe!"
They were not afraid of death, but it didn't mean they didn't want to live.
Looking at the dark and cloudy night sky, the two brothers were in an unusually cheerful mood.
All this is thanks to the Great Emperor Jiuyou!
Weng Xing let out a long breath. After more than ten days of non-stop running and a night of thrilling events, even a strong man would be tired: "Brother, where are we going now?"
Weng Su grabbed two large silver bars from his arms and shook them: "Of course, we should leave here quickly and go to the next town to celebrate! We'll think about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow."
The two brothers laughed and set off in the dark.
Anyway, this money is ill-gotten gains, so they would rather spend it than not.
The far suburbs of Zhuowei.
The rain gradually subsided, and the night sky no longer looked like a hole, pouring water into the world.
General Chongwu stood in the woods, staring at the lights of a small village not far away.
The water drops on his forehead flowed down to his chin, and he was too lazy to wipe them off.
The village was not big, and there were about twenty village houses, but only one was lit, all alone.
General Chongwu's hundreds of troops rushed into the village a few breaths ago, and also rushed into the small house with lights on.
Not long after, his men ran out of the village house and hurried to report to him:
"General, the tribute has been found! There are two local thieves in the house!"
"That's it?" The battle ended so quickly that General Chongwu was a little surprised. After all, the masked man in black who was just chasing was as slippery as a loach, and finally escaped with the help of a mountain cave. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a person who will surrender.
"The goods of other caravans have also been found, all hidden in abandoned houses."
"Who are the robbers?" General Chongwu waved his hand, "Forget it, I'll go and see for myself."
After seeing it with his own eyes, General Chongwu was even more disappointed. These were two skinny thieves, and they didn't look like the kind of people who would dare to steal tribute.
Dozens of burly men surrounded them like little chickens. The two little thieves were already scared out of their wits, and they shouted that they were innocent when they saw General Chongwu.
There was no need for him to ask questions, the two little thieves nodded their heads and confessed everything.
It turned out that they did sneak into the inn, because there were too many guests staying recently, so they wanted to steal.
The initial operation went smoothly, but when they stole more than 20 taels of silver, they were still discovered by the guests, who shouted and chased them with weapons.
General Chongwu suddenly realized. This was probably the noise he heard outside when he was sitting in the box.
It turned out that these two little thieves did it.
Relying on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, the two men easily shook off the pursuers and fled here to divide the loot. Originally, they planned to leave after dividing the money, but they fell asleep while dividing it, and then--
Then they opened their eyes and saw a group of soldiers rushing in, like wolves and tigers.
Yes, they woke up and greeted General Chongwu.
What happened in the middle, they were at a loss.
They had been beaten up by the guards and swollen noses and faces, and swore to the sky that every word they said was true.
General Chongwu knew that if the government caught these two people, they would not care about their excuses and directly accuse them of crimes and put them in jail to close the case. After all, they were caught with evidence and had to explain to both the superiors and the subordinates. But he could sense the mystery here.
These two guys are too cowardly. Do they really have the courage to rob so many merchants in one go, including General Yaoguo?
"If these two guys told the truth, they were calculated, and someone else stole the tribute."
Stealing tribute is a serious crime and will be beheaded on the spot by General Chongwu.
Risking being caught, they entered the inn to steal the property and tribute, and then framed two thieves in this deserted village, and finally the property returned to the original owner. If someone really did this, what exactly did they want?
The recovery of the tribute made General Chongwu feel relieved, which proved that his bad luck was not too outrageous; but today's strangeness made him suspicious again.
He had experienced many strange things and knew that there was often a reason behind the incomprehensible appearance.
The other party could throw all the tribute in the deserted village, which proved that they valued not the valuables, but other purposes, such as-
"Luring the tiger away from the mountain? Mixing fish eyes with pearls?"
Thinking of this, General Chongwu decisively ordered: "Take the tribute and the two thieves back to the inn!"
His subordinates shouted "Yes".
General Chongwu pressed his knuckles. Many teams were robbed tonight. What did the thieves plan to do?
He Lingchuan controlled the flying wing to land smoothly.
The landing point was a large bush. It was raining, and there was not even a ghost here.
With the help of the real-time communication of the eyeball spider, Dong Rui, snail toad, ghost ape, and Lingguang were waiting for him here.
The little monkey was holding a medicine box in his hand, ready to be called at any time.
The ghost ape was eating a banana calmly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, it's getting light!" Dong Rui urged He Lingchuan, "I've been away for too long, and I don't know if there's any accident in Zhuo Wei."
The two places are too far apart, beyond the communication distance of the eyeball spider.
Sometimes, after doing everything humanly possible, you have to leave it to fate.
He Lingchuan sat in the snail toad and breathed a sigh of relief.
Without his reminder, Dong Rui drove the snail toad underground and started to rush to Zhuo Wei.
"It's almost time."
He Lingchuan closed his eyes: "It's still in time."
