Besides, He Qizhou and Lin Chuan watched the arrogant Dragon Roar fall into the water with their own eyes on the boat. The frustration of running for their lives disappeared without a trace in an instant. They couldn't help laughing loudly, but they didn't forget to suppress it.
Holding back his voice, strange laughter spread all over the dark and empty lake. When the boat rowed towards the center of the lake, He Qizhou stopped laughing, bowed deeply to the tall figure rowing the boat, and asked: "Thank you.
The hero comes to the rescue, who are you, hero?"
The man was still rowing with all his strength, heading straight east. Seeing He Qizhou asking questions, he whispered: "My surname is Lu. As soon as we land ashore, we will return to the inn as quickly as possible. Don't ask any more questions."
He Qizhou saw that the man was very cold and seemed unfathomable, so he did not dare to ask any more questions. He urged Lin Chuan to quickly take off his detective uniform, wrap up the stones prepared in advance, and sink into the lake. The man's internal energy seemed to be inexhaustible.
The boat kept moving at a high speed, and after traveling for about two miles after a stick of incense, the lake shore could be vaguely seen. He Qizhou could also faintly hear the sound of horse hooves coming from the northeast corner of the lake. He Qizhou was startled and took a look at the lake.
The man holding the boat asked: "My hero, you are Xu...Xu...Xu's senior brother. Why did you come to rescue us? Will he be okay?"
The man laughed twice and said: "You are not stupid. Didn't you tell me Xu Mu's name because you were a little on guard against me? But I'm already here, why do you need to worry about that fool? You just stick to it.
Cat Kung Fu also wants to save people? It’s hilarious. When the boat was two feet away from the shore, I jumped on the shore. Remember to dodge the cavalry and get back to the inn as soon as possible.”
Hearing this, He Qizhou's heart was relieved. With a cry, the boat suddenly turned sharply and turned south, drawing a large arc on the water. When the boat was less than two feet away from the shore, He Qizhou
Lin Chuan and the two of them skied ashore gently. There was a willow-lined avenue on the shore. On the other side of the road was the building facing the lake on Guihua Street. After nightfall, the lights were brightly lit and there was a lot of people. Fortunately, the lake was shrouded in rain and mist.
Invisible objects, the two heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the north very close at hand. They climbed up a tall willow tree and watched the two horses under them galloping by in the shade of the willow, while the boat quietly turned towards the lake.
The heart flies away.
There was the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, as if a large group of people and horses were approaching. He and Lin found a gap and jumped down from the tree. They entered Osmanthus Alley along the alley between the houses. There was another scene in Osmanthus Alley, with people everywhere.
Strings of lanterns were hung, and the tall osmanthus trees on both sides cast shadows under the lights. People were holding umbrellas and wearing raincoats. There were pedestrians in twos and threes on the street, and horse-drawn carriages passed by from time to time.
He Qizhou also knew that the two of them were highly suspicious. Firstly, they made such a big fuss in Jianghu Tower at noon and were "forced" to listen to the secrets of the white scarf thief. Secondly, after rescuing the grandparent and grandson, he was also afraid of the public surname Chen's personal revenge.
So they still had to return to the inn as soon as possible, but there were too many people on the street. If running was too abrupt, the two of them had to walk quickly. After hundreds of steps, they finally sneaked into the alley behind the inn.
The window of their guest room was pushed open completely, and Zhang Qingrou waved her hand upwards. Lin Chuan immediately lost his temper, jumped up to the eaves of the first floor, and then jumped from the window into the house.
He Qizhou didn't have any Qinggong skills, so he didn't care about Zhang Qingrou's jokes. He jumped with all his strength, put his hands on the rafters of the first floor eaves, gently turned over and climbed up to the eaves, and then jumped up to the second floor window.
She thought she had climbed in through the window nimbly, Zhang Qingrou covered her mouth, closed the window, and said with a smile: "What a powerful monkey fist!"
Previously, before He Qizhou and the others set off, Xu Mu went to see her senior brother, and Zhang Qingrou told Lin Chuan and Lin Chuan about her travels in the world, the various rules of the martial arts exam, the famous figures on the martial arts exam list, and South Zhili
He Qizhou was also a little impressed with Zhang Qingrou. After the two left, Zhang Qingrou might have been bored with waiting, so he
The old man's granddaughter also called into the room. Four cups of tea were placed on the table, and beside the teacups were four piles of melon seed shells of different heights.
He Qizhou was not ashamed to be ridiculed. He drank a cup of tea in one gulp and gave Zhang Qingrou a thumbs up. He admired in his heart. Looking at Zhang Qingrou's careless look, he was actually very careful. It was really easy to deceive others with those piles of melon seeds.
The sound of horse hooves came from the alley, and then left after a while. Maybe the catcher couldn't stand the smell in the alley, so he left after just one look. Then there was a burst of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a snap.
There were three gentle knocks on the door, and the waiter's call came from outside the door: "Sir, someone is looking for you."
Zhang Qingrou motioned to the little girl to open the door. While chewing melon seeds, she turned and looked at the door. With a "squeak" sound, the waiter opened the door and saw that it was a little girl who opened the door. He was startled for a moment, then poked his head in and saw He Qizhou and others.
The three of them then said: "Guest sir, the official messenger has something to see you."
Wang Ling walked straight into the room with two of his men. Seeing Zhang Qingrou there, he was a little surprised. He calmed down and said, "What a coincidence, the eldest lady is here too. Someone just robbed the prison, and they suspected that she was with the man who was spending a lot of money outside the Jianghu Tower."
It’s related to the stranger, because these two little brothers had a conversation with the stranger, and Master Tongzhi would like to invite the two little brothers to come over and ask questions.”
Zhang Qingrou's beautiful eyes widened and she said: "I said Wang Captou, you are a bit haunted today. Like you, we only have a casual relationship with those two foreigners. What the hell can he know? Why don't you go?
Go, we haven't talked enough yet."
Wang Ling's face darkened and she said: "Miss, the one who escaped was a white-clothed thief. It's a very important matter. The prefect may also be responsible. I'm just asking questions. I asked the eldest lady to help me."
Seeing that Zhang Qingrou was about to get angry, Lin Chuan immediately said, "Just go. I haven't been out for half a day anyway, so I might as well take a walk."
Zhang Qingrou and He Qizhou glared at Lin Chuan at the same time, making Lin Chuan feel a little at a loss. He Qizhou said: "Mu Mu is very capable. Are you used to running county yamen and are not afraid of seeing state yamen?"
Zhang Qingrou said to Luo Yu who was standing by the door: "Little girl, you should go back to grandpa's place first. It's not peaceful these two days. Don't go out and run around if you have nothing to do."
The little girl nodded and walked out of the door. Wang Ling winked at one of his men, and the man retreated silently. Wang Ling said: "The eldest lady is right. The floods have been raging recently, and the bandits have
The guards at the magistrate's office are coming out one after another, and the magistrate is very worried. Please hurry up and go back together, and you two boys, are you going or not?"
He Qizhou looked at Lin Chuan, who was blushing for no reason, and said: "Go, I'll go, why don't you go? Are you afraid of being eaten by a tiger? Zhang Nuxia, please help us talk about martial arts when you have time."
"
Zhang Qingrou said a little proudly: "I dare not say anything else, but I really know those so-called young talents in Nanzhili. Now I will take you to the prefect's Yamen to see them."
He Qizhou and Lin Chuan both took out a package from their luggage and took it with them. Zhang Qingrou sneered: "You have such a small amount of possessions and are you worried that thieves will miss you?"
He Qizhou deliberately glanced at Wang Ling, who was looking around in the room, and said: "This gentleman has said that bandits are coming out one after another. Even the captured bandits can escape. But you can't count on others. You should be careful."
Wang Ling glared at He Qizhou fiercely, and it was inconvenient to get angry. She thought that after all, Chen Yan didn't say that she should use force, so she should complete the task first. Besides, Zhang Qingrou was also there, but these two guys were indeed hateful. They must deal with it well if they find an opportunity.
It can also help the young masters of the Chen family vent their anger. When everyone walked out of the room and saw a dozen police officers in the corridor, Zhang Qingrou sneered and said, "Master Wang, what a big battle!"
Wang Ling pretended not to hear and led the policemen ahead. When he was approaching the stairs, He Qizhou suddenly noticed a drunken figure appearing at the stairs not far away. It was the figure who appeared at the entrance of Yuantong Temple yesterday.
The old man Chi Yuan was shocked. Could it be that he had really been discovered? But after thinking about it quickly, it seemed that there was no clue. He forced himself to calm down and walked quickly in front of Lin Chuan, following closely behind Zhang Qingrou.
When he was about to go downstairs, the short drunken old man who was holding on to the stairs suddenly let go of his hand as if he couldn't support his body, and fell down towards He Qizhou. His hands were as wild as a drowning man.
He grabbed He Qizhou's waist, and the direction he aimed at happened to be the two acupoints of the center and Mingmen. He Qizhou was horrified. If these two acupoints were invaded by the old man's internal power, then he might regret his ten years of hard work. It would be too late.
Yuan fell down seemingly slowly, but his shot was extremely fast and left no trace.
This move was extremely insidious, enough to force the opponent to deal with it with all his strength. He Qizhou's mind was racing, and his reaction was deliberately slow for a moment. When the old man's hands touched his clothes, he twisted his waist and grabbed the old man's arms with both hands. Shock appeared on his face at first.
, and then said as if he was relieved: "Old man, be careful!" The old man burped, squinted his drunken eyes, stood firm, turned around and staggered away. Lin Chuan was two steps behind He Qizhou,
In fact, he already recognized Chi Yuan, so he didn't dare to rescue him easily. When he saw the old man turning around and leaving, he glanced at He Qizhou anxiously. Everyone walking in front, including Zhang Qingrou, seemed not to notice at all. Only Wang Ling
He glanced back, as if making eye contact with the old man.
He Qizhou shook his head gently, indicating that Lin Chuan was okay, but he felt a chill on his back, and he walked back and forth from the gate of hell in an instant. Fortunately, He Qizhou knew Chi Yuan, and knew that he could not resist Chi Yuan even if he tried his best.
, so I deliberately did not defend myself, and just made my final reaction a few minutes faster than ordinary people, showing that I did have a certain level of cultivation. If I followed the habits formed by sparring with Yang Zhan over the years, I would not use it at all when encountering such a situation.
After thinking about it, the body will naturally react. At that time, Chi Yuan really found out the details, and he might be crippled with one move.
But Chi Yuan didn't even notice He Lin and He Lin who were lining up in the long queue yesterday. He didn't know that He Qizhou knew him. Chi Yuan, who tried to test him, withdrew all his strength the moment he came into contact with He Qizhou's body.
He sensed that He Qizhou was indeed not of the same lineage, but in his heart he hated Chen Yan for making such a fuss.
The policeman who followed Luo Yu out rushed up downstairs, stopped the little girl, and said viciously: "Little girl, I ask you two questions. Answer them truthfully. If you lie, I will arrest you and go to jail!"
Luo Yu looked horrified and said: "Sir, please forgive me. I have never done anything bad. Good-hearted people have helped me pay off the debt I owe at home!"
The detective said: "What a mess, let me ask you, have you been in that room this afternoon? Have those people in there ever gone out?"
"Sir, that elder sister is a good person. She treated me to a meal in the afternoon, and then chatted with the two older brothers. I soaked a pot of water for them, and even went out to help buy melon seeds. The rest of the time
I was dozing off in that room, and I couldn't understand what they were talking about about martial arts. My eldest sister said it was inconvenient for her to be a girl, so she kept letting me stay with her."
"We've been chatting all afternoon? Have you been out for a long time? Don't lie!"
Luo Yu's eyes filled with tears and she said: "Are you not allowed to talk to strange men? Sir, they are good people. They even gave me some silver on the way, so I went out for a while and went to the kitchen downstairs to have a drink.
As for water, the waiter was very bad. He refused to help guests when they asked for water. I had to put a small stool on the stove to reach the big kettle, and I almost burned my sleeves. Also, I bought it at the shop next to the inn.
Order sunflower seeds, and the money is paid by the eldest sister."
