After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1397: Each Goes His Own Way
Over the years, he has not been able to use the Motherly Needle to make a better magic weapon, but there is a natural connection between the Motherly Needle and "smooth sailing", just like the concern between a loving mother and her child who is traveling far away, and Qi Yunsheng can locate the murderer by tracking "smooth sailing"!

He stood up and said to his two disciples, "Follow me to chase the murderer!"

Bao and Fu responded in unison.

Afterwards, Qi Yunsheng explained a few things about the manor, and pointed out dozens of farmhands, together with more than a hundred elite soldiers under Xue Zongwu, and followed the instructions of the Motherly Needle to chase westward.

No one noticed that there was a small black shadow lurking in the branches of the big tree that Fu Wending had just jumped onto, and twelve eyes were silently observing everything that was happening below.

After Qi Yunsheng gathered all the people, it leaped up and landed lightly on the forehead of a Zhuang Wei, then hid in the folds of his turban.

It was pitch dark and it was hard for anyone to find it.

……

The Weng brothers' first wingsuit flight was surprisingly successful.

Although the flight trajectory was tortuous and the direction and speed could not be controlled, the wind that night was gentle and stable and still brought the two brothers to the ground.

Weng Xing fell flat on his face, got up and took a few steps, his head still dizzy; Weng Su's wing suit got caught on the treetop, and it took a lot of effort to pull it down to the ground.

He was reluctant to cut off his newly acquired wing suit - it was made in Songyang Prefecture and 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 both felt that they had survived a disaster.

Weng Xing grinned and laughed, with blood hissing out of his mouth.

"What's wrong with your mouth?"

"A tooth was broken." 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 a good deal, a great deal!
"Where is 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 Emperor Jiuyou. His flying posture was much more graceful than his, like a mountain eagle soaring in the night sky.

Then he watched helplessly as the man slid sideways across the valley and into the night, as light as a leaf.

He couldn't catch up no matter what he did.

The man in black armor left as quietly as he appeared without warning.

Even though the two brothers had profound cultivation, they still felt a little creepy about his sudden appearances and disappearances.

But anyway, it's done tonight.

"Brother, do you think we can see the Nine Nether Emperor again?" Weng Xing stroked his newly acquired wings, feeling somewhat disappointed. "I have always wanted to ask him if the Black Armor Army is still short of people."

The wings are so well made that the night suit looks shabby in comparison. If he were to wear the iconic black armor, he would look majestic!

How could Weng Su know? But he knew very well how to deal with his brother: "Yes! We have always helped those who are in trouble. 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 identify directions is outstanding. "Aha, let's go, they should not have closed the city gate yet!"

Mangzhou is a prosperous city that never sleeps. There is no curfew and the city is not closed during normal times. No matter how late it is at night, there are always people coming in and out.

Usually this is the case.

The two men threw away their night clothes, reeked of alcohol, and mixed in with a group of drunken and laughing businessmen as they headed towards the north gate.

The suburbs of Mangzhou were also very prosperous, with houses lined up one after another and restaurants and inns everywhere, but the prices were much cheaper than in the city. The city had good security and the city gates were not closed at night - this was one of the factors that led the Weng brothers and He Lingchuan to choose Mangzhou as the place to start - many merchants came into the city to discuss business and eat, and went out of the city to stay in inns and sleep.

The night guards at the city gate had seen many crazy drunkards and did not think that the Weng brothers were anything special. They even took two steps away in disgust.

Weng Su grabbed his brother who was about to vomit.

Okay, just act it out again and it’ll be over!

The brother walked out of the north gate with crab steps.

They had only been gone for a few dozen breaths when there was a sudden commotion behind them.

The two turned around and saw a group of people with torches running towards the city gate, shouting, "Close the gate! Close the gate quickly! No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

"Those of you who went outside, come back here!"

Soon, the gate of the city that never sleeps slowly closed amid the sound of mechanisms 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. When they saw this scene, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a close call, if I had been a step later I would have been stuck in the city!

"Brother, I'm out!" Weng Xing woke up as if from a dream, "I've avenged my great hatred, and I'm still alive!"

They were ready to die. Only two things could have happened tonight:

Beat Xue Zongwu to death.

Or he was beaten to death by Xue Zongwu.

But they actually got their revenge successfully - well, there were a few twists and turns in the middle - and escaped safely.

"How fortunate I am!" Weng Su opened his mouth in a flowery tone, but the next sentence was a mess, "It's so good to be alive, it's so good to be able to breathe!"

Just because they are not afraid of death doesn't mean they don't want to live.

Looking at the night sky covered with dark clouds, the two brothers were in an unusually cheerful mood.

All this is thanks to 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 will 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 might as well spend it.

……

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 is not big, with about twenty houses, but only one has a light on, standing alone.

Hundreds of General Chongwu's men rushed into the village a few breaths ago and also rushed into the lighted cottage.

Not long after, his men rushed out of the village house and hurried to him to report:

"General, we found the tribute! There are two local thieves in the house!"

"That's it?" General Chongwu was a little surprised at how quickly the battle ended. After all, the masked man in black who had just been chasing him was as slippery as a loach and finally escaped through a mountain cave. He didn't look like someone who would surrender without a fight.

"The goods of other caravans have also been found, hidden in abandoned houses."

"Who is the robber?" 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 just two skinny thieves, and they didn't look like the kind of people who would dare to steal the tribute.

There were dozens of burly men surrounding them like little chickens. The two little thieves were already scared out of their wits and shouted that they were innocent when they saw General Chongwu.

There was no need for him to ask any questions; the two little thieves nodded their heads and confessed everything.

It turned out that they had indeed sneaked into the inn, because there were too many guests staying there recently, and they wanted to steal something.

The initial operation went smoothly, but when they stole more than twenty taels of silver, they were discovered by the guests, who yelled and chased after them with weapons.

General Chongwu suddenly realized that this was probably the noise he heard outside when he was sitting in the box.

It turns out that these two little thieves did it.

The two of them, relying on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, 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, when they woke up, they were greeted by General Chongwu.

I have no idea what happened in between.

They had been beaten black and blue by the guards and swollen in the face, and they swore to heaven that every word they said was true.

General Chongwu knew that if the government arrested these two people, they would not care about their explanations and would directly accuse them of crimes and put them in jail, after all, they would be caught with evidence and have to report to their superiors and subordinates. But he could sense the mystery here.

These two guys are so cowardly. Do they really have the guts to rob so many merchants in one go, including the general of Yao State?

"If these two guys are telling the truth, they were tricked, and someone else stole the tribute."

Stealing tribute is a serious crime and the offender 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?

General Chongwu was relieved that the tribute was recovered, which proved that his bad luck was not too outrageous; but today's strange incident made him suspicious again.

He has experienced many strange things and knows that behind the incomprehensible appearances, there is often a make-believe reason.

The fact that the other party threw all the tribute in a deserted village proves that what they valued was not the valuables, but other purposes, such as -

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain? Mixing fakes with pearls?"

General Chongwu thought of this and decisively ordered: "Take the tribute and the two thieves and return to the inn!"

The subordinate responded loudly, "Yes."

General Chongwu clicked his knuckles. "Many troops were robbed tonight. What are the thieves planning to do?"

He Lingchuan controlled the flying wing to land smoothly.

The place where we landed was a large bush. On a rainy day, there was not even a ghost here.

With the help of the eye spider's real-time communication, Dong Rui, the snail toad, the ghost ape, and Lingguang were already 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 the banana calmly.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's almost dawn!" Dong Rui urged He Lingchuan, "We've been away for too long, and we don't know if Zhuo Wei has encountered any accidents."

The two places are too far apart, beyond the communication range of the Eyeball Spider.

Sometimes, after you have done your best, you just 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 into the ground and started heading towards Zhuowei.

"It's almost timed out."

He Lingchuan closed his eyes: "It's still in time."
