After hearing Master Ying play, he got up and sat aside.
Pushing his hands suddenly stopped, and his clothes were wet with tears.
You are so sincere and capable, you can't put ice and coal in my intestines!
——Excerpt from "Listening to Master Ying Playing the Qin" by Han Yu (Tang Dynasty)
…
After Chen Xi finished telling his experience, he sighed.
After hearing this, Bai Fu felt that this girl gang leader was too "classy". At such a young age, she could make a group of young masters obey her and obey her orders. This in itself was a kind of extraordinary charm.
Based on this, it can be deduced that the person who entered the palace to steal the treasure this time was most likely this group of young men with outstanding qinggong skills, or even the girl gang leader herself.
However, there were some things that Bai Fu had not yet fully figured out. He asked Su Wuming for advice and said: "Mr. Su, according to what Brother Shen said, he did not show any peerless lightness skills after coming to Chang'an. How did this girl gang leader know that Shen
Does Xi have special skills?
Did he let Tian Bolang encounter Shen Xi frequently to get Shen Xi to join his gang?
At the banquet, Shen Xi showed off his unparalleled lightness skills, why did the girl gang leader change his mind again?"
Su Wuming said: "According to the old man's inference, Shen Xi may have accidentally mentioned his identity as the Shen family of Wuxing while staying at the inn.
The Shen family of Wuxing was a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. They were the descendants of Shen Rong in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancestor of the Shen family was Shen Xie, the prefect of Anlu in the Southern Liang Dynasty. He entered the Zhou Dynasty due to Hou Jing's rebellion, and later served as an official in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, reaching the rank of Shangshu Zuopushe.
Not to mention, in the last years of Kaiyuan, during the reign of Dali, Shen, the daughter of secretary-supervisor Shen Yizhi, was selected into the palace as a son of a good family, and was betrothed to Li Chu, the prince of Guangping County, as his wife. After getting married, Shen soon gave birth to Li Chu.
The eldest son Li Shi.
Now Li Chugui is the crown prince of the East Palace. If Shen hadn't disappeared in Luoyang, Shen would have been both a queen and a concubine in the future based on her identity as the biological mother of the emperor's eldest grandson.
Even if the whereabouts of the Shen family are unknown, once the emperor's eldest grandson Li Shi succeeds to the throne in the future, the Shen family of Wuxing will definitely become prominent in the government and the public again.
Therefore, the examination papers from the Wuxing Shen family will inevitably attract the attention of all parties.
From the perspective of a knight errant, the "Iron Palm Water Floating" inherited from the Wu Xing Shen family is also a coveted skill.
Judging from the whole process, the girl gang leader really wanted to recruit Shen Xi into the gang at first, but later changed his mind.
As for why I changed my mind, I still don’t know.”
Bai Fu asked: "Tian Bolang borrowed the horse from Shen Xi, maybe he wanted to frame him, right? Since it was a frame-up, why did he take the risk to rescue him?"
Su Wuming smiled and said: "This is the most interesting part of the whole thing.
When Tian Bolang borrowed a horse from Shen Xi, his mother had no doubt that she was deliberately framed by Shen Xi.
The identity of the girl and her accomplices were exposed in front of Shen Xi. For safety reasons, they could only kill Shen Xi to silence them.
But the girls and the gang have no enmity against Shen Xi, and they are not willing to enmity with the Shen family of Wuxing, so killing Shen Xi is not the best idea.
Since he cannot be silenced, the only way is to expel Shen Xi from Chang'an as soon as possible.
First, he framed Shen Xi and allowed him to be captured by the government; then he rescued Shen Xi from the cell, and Shen Xi became an escaped prisoner and was wanted by the government.
As a wanted criminal on the run, Shen Xi has no choice but to stay away from Chang'an and has no chance to inform the capital government."
Su Wuming's inference was reasonable and reasonable, and Bai Fu couldn't fault it for a while. However, Bai Fu had a vague feeling that the matter was not that simple.
…
Now that we have clues, we need to deploy a plan to catch the thief.
Su Wuming said: "General Bai, before coming here, I have investigated Tian Bulang clearly. This man's whereabouts are uncertain, his courage is extraordinary, and he has excellent lightness skills.
If you can't break its legs in one move, even if you have thousands of soldiers, you won't be able to capture it.
I have received a tip that Tian Bolang will appear in the Qujiang Pool area in three days, and I can plan to capture him."
Bai Fu was overjoyed.
In order not to alert the enemy, Bai Fu did not mobilize the bad guys in Jingzhao Mansion, but secretly recruited the elite Anxi and Sichuan gang members from Zuo Yingwu's army, and disciples of the Tang clan.
Three days later, by the Qujiang Pool, the sky was filled with green lotus flowers.
Several young people appeared in the sight of Su Wuming, Shen Xi and others. These young people were walking arm-in-arm by the Qujiang Pool, watching birds and scenery, singing and laughing.
One of them, with ape arms and crane legs, was strangely thin and thin, and he was none other than Tian Bulang.
Bai Fu pretended to be a tourist, dressed in white, with a jade crown tying up his hair, gently swinging a gold fan, leaning on the railing by the river, overlooking the lakes and mountains.
When Tian Bolang passed by Bai Fu, Bai Fu took action. Two cobblestones the size of iron gallbladders shot out at lightning speed.
Tian Bolang was unprepared and was hit on the tibia of his calf by a pebble.
"Kacha"
The force of the pebbles was so strong that it immediately broke Tian Banglang's legs. Tian Banglang screamed and fell to the ground.
The other young men were furious, drew out their hidden sharp blades, and rushed towards Bai Fu.
Bai Fu sneered and struck the air with his palm, knocking the two young men at the front to the ground, breaking their bones and tendons.
Seeing how ferocious Bai Fu was, the other young men broke up and fled in all directions. What's more, a man plunged into the Qujiang River and tried to escape through the water to escape.
Bai Fu had already laid a dragnet along the Qujiang River. Seeing Bai Fu take action, elite Tang troops disguised as various people came out from all directions and surrounded the young men.
Even in the Qujiang River, there are hidden Sichuan water ghosts. They will drag the young people who jumped into the river to the bottom of the water, drown them half to death, and then drag them out of the water.
…
Just when everyone thought they were sure of victory, Tian Bolang, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly jumped up, stretched out his arms, and tore his robe into two pieces.
Something strange happened. The two pairs of deformed protrusions on Tian Bolang's back instantly turned into a pair of fleshy wings!
Tian Pulang spread his wings, like a big bird, fluttering and flying.
Lynx'er led the archers to ambush in the woods by the river. With a command, countless arrows shot out and went straight to Tian Bulang.
Tian Pulang's wings whirled sharply, drawing an arc in the sky to avoid the densest arrow net.
At the same time, Tian Bolang took out his shield and long sword, held the shield in his left hand, and danced the sword in his right hand. He danced so hard that water could not splash in, and blocked the arrows.
Tian Pulang's wings suddenly turned and stopped, and he circled twice in a row, getting rid of the arrow's pursuit, and escaped from the arrow net.
Tian Pulang flapped his wings and flew high into the clouds.
Seeing that Tian Bolang was about to escape successfully, Bai Fu roared and said: "Lynx, help me!"
Lynx'er understood this and shot three arrows towards Tian Bulang's gliding route.
The first arrow, the bow opened 50%; the second arrow, the bow opened 80%; the third arrow, the bow opened the full moon. The three arrows drew a rainbow-like arc, chasing Tian Bulang directly.
Xunding's true energy rotated rapidly on both sides of Bai Fu's body, like wings sprouting from his ribs. Bai Fu pointed his toes and soared into the air.
When he was exhausted, Bai Fu had already chased the first arrow. Bai Fu tapped his toes and missed the arrow, using his strength to fly up again.
Bai Fu was in the air, like a relay, he stepped on three arrows and flew above Tian Bulang.
Tian Bolang prides himself on his extraordinary abilities and never takes any predators seriously, and has never seen anyone chasing him like this.
Until this moment, Tian Bolang didn't know that he had met a strong enemy today.
Bai Fu withdrew his figure and swooped down like an eagle, blocking Tian Bulang's path.
Tian Bolang flapped his wings, trying to turn around and avoid Bai Fu's attack.
Bai Fu took a breath in the air and glided away in Tian Bulang's direction.
There were still three feet away from Tian Bolang. Bai Fu exhaled and the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly.
Tian Bolang felt the wind and frost hit his face before his eyes, making it difficult to breathe. Tian Bolang's wings were covered with countless ice particles, and his flying speed immediately became slow.
Bai Fu grabbed it in the air, and the energy in his palm was like a vortex, generating huge adsorption force.
Tian Bolang struck several times with his wings and struggled desperately to break away from the vortex of airflow.
Tian Pulang flapped his wings, forming a cyclone. Bai Fu followed the trend, released his inner energy, and shot out ten invisible energy from his ten fingers. Bai Fu flipped his wrist, his five fingers were like hooks, and the spirit vulture grabbed it with its talons, and ten lines of energy shot out.
The energy is intertwined into a transparent network of energy.
Tian Bolang felt an invisible fishing net being cast down, binding him tightly. He rushed left and right, preventing him from breaking out.
Bai Fu descended like a heavenly soldier, volleyed down from the sky, and placed his foot on Tian Bulang's back. Tian Bulang felt a powerful energy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Bai Fu meditated with his fingers, and touched a key point on Nakata Bolang's shoulder from afar. Tian Bolang felt his arms soften, and the shield and sword slipped from his hands.
Tian Banglang flapped his wings, twisted his waist and hips, struggled several times, but still couldn't get rid of it, and was firmly stepped on by Bai Fu.
Tian Bolang's wings could not support such weight, so he fluttered a few times, swaying like a broken paper kite, and fell to the ground.
As soon as Tian Bolang hit the ground, countless spears were pressed against his throat.
The soldiers of the Tang army pounced on him like wolves and tigers, and tied up Tian Bulang.
Among the crowd, Tian Bolang saw Shen Xi's face.
"Pooh!"
Tian Bolang spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm at Chen Xi and angrily shouted: "You ungrateful Zhongshan wolf! My gang leader kindly saved your life, but I didn't expect that you would harm me and others!"
