Chapter 53: How to be a thief

Although it was only a short moment of distraction, it was enough for the top assassins, behind Shi Qingyi, who was far away from the crowd, a snow-bright long sword stabbed silently towards Shi Qingyi's back heart, both the timing and the skill were perfect, and the sneak attacker was very sure that this sword would definitely take Shi Qingyi's life. This time, however, she was disappointed.

It is true that Shi Qingyi is an excellent swordsman, but he is also an excellent assassin, and because of this, he is far more familiar with his companions who belong to the same people walking in the dark than ordinary martial arts people, and therefore, she was able to find the sneak attack of the long sword behind her one step earlier, although the sword body at this time was close at hand, and put her in a great crisis, but because of the earlier discovery, Shi Qingyi finally saw the vitality that could be found from this crisis.

didn't have time to turn around and block, Shi Qingyi's body quickly took half a step forward, his body changed direction instantly, and then suddenly fell to the ground, not caring about his own image, one side of his body was almost close to the ground, and he rolled over, not only narrowly dodging the sneak attack of the long sword, but also turned around and faced the sneak attacker: that tall, fair-skinned beauty is not the Fu Junwu who he has been thinking about for a long time, which one! "It's you!" Shi Qingyi said in a deep voice: "Yu Wenhua and the whole city is now strictly forbidden, you still dare to appear in the city, are you really not afraid of death?" Fu Junwu also looked at Shi Qingyi, and her eyes revealed a trace of hatred: "Last night in the Jiangdu Palace, if you hadn't stopped you, the faint monarch would have been killed by me." Since you are willing to fight for this faint king and tiger, then I will kill you first. Having said that, after missing the blow, Fu Junwu had already begun to retreat, Shi Qingyi knew that she would never be able to stop her with the other party's light skills, so she did not stop her and let the other party retreat. Shi Qingyi turned around again, only to find that the Shuanglong who had stayed behind him had already fled without a trace, with the familiarity of the two of them with the complex environment of the city, Shi Qingyi knew that the chance of catching the two again was very small, and he had to give up at the moment, after all, they would soon escape from the city, and Shi Qingyi only needed to follow Yu Wenhua, and he would definitely not lose the whereabouts of the two.

After returning to the inn and resting for a while, Shi Qingyi packed her luggage and left, because she knew that if the plot did not change, the city gate would soon be under martial law, and it would be difficult to get out of the city at that time. This made Shi Qingyi sigh at the speed of the double snakes, so he begged for a beating from himself. The crime was committed here immediately, and the mentality of the habitual offender was exposed. In fact, it was Shi Qingyi who blamed the two of them, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to immediately repay the money he owed to his sister-in-law, Shuanglong would never have committed a crime immediately after suffering a big loss just now, but their vision this time was even more surprisingly evil, and they actually directly bumped into Yu Wenhua, who eats people and does not spit out bones, and now, Shuanglong is in trouble.

Shi Qingyi was not in a hurry, he found a restaurant near the city gate, asked for some desserts and pastries and the like and waited slowly, sure enough, not long after, he saw Yu Wenhua and with a group of soldiers and horses, rushing straight through the city gate, Shi Qingyi also left the restaurant when he saw this, and walked towards the city gate unhurriedly. Although the city gate at this time still does not allow the people to enter and exit, but with the waist card given by Yang Guang, who dares to stop it, without any effort, Shi Qingyi went out of the city, and saw the dust flying on the road because of the galloping cavalry, Shi Qingyi smiled slightly, and launched a light pursuit and left. Fu Junwu, don't die!

Yu Wenhua was very depressed, originally thought that with the power of his Yuwen family, strong martial arts, and the emperor's edict, a copy of "Longevity Formula" should be captured, but he didn't expect that things were completely beyond his plan from the beginning, first Shi Long would rather destroy the entire Shilong Dojo than hand over this book, and then actually escaped from his own hands from the secret passage, and then the old Confucian with the longevity formula was stolen by someone else, and finally it was, I thought that the city's strict ban would definitely catch the two thieves together with the longevity formula, but I didn't expect that since the gangsters could survive at the bottom of society, they had their own set of means to save their lives, and they actually escaped from the sewers of the city, so that their ban was useless, and they had to send people outside the city, starting from the sewer where the two thieves escaped, and launched a large-scale search. At this time, Yu Wenhua and Cai calmed down a little, and immediately led his relatives out of the city to arrest the two.

Okay, okay, the matter should have come to an end at this point, the two thieves have no horses to travel, and they will not escape with light skills, it should be said that it should be a matter of time before he is caught by Yu Wenhua, but why at this time, you Fu Junwu will suddenly come out and leave the two of them with a kick, Yu Wenhua and his heart is depressed to death, after all, in the search for the secret of longevity, Yu Wenhua and the same did not have any good intentions, his original purpose was to use this "baby" to kill Yang Guang, from this aspect, Yu Wenhua and this time are the same purpose as Fu Junwu, but one is assassination, and the other is a conspiracy.

Yu Wenhua and his heart at this time obviously did not think about it, although he had different ambitions, but because of his years of fighting for the tiger, the people of the world had long regarded him as a loyal lackey of the tyrant, since Fu Junwu was originally looking for trouble with Yang Guang, so Yu Wenhua and what he wanted to do were bumped into by her, how could he not disturb the situation. In this way, on the edge of the Yangtze River, Yu Wenhua could only watch Shuanglong being rescued on a flat boat, and he fell back to the shore helplessly after fighting with Fu Junwu with all his might. Ren Fu Junwu and Shuanglong's boat went down the water, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. "Send someone to inform the sailors, and at the same time mobilize the army to search, be sure to find them, at any cost!" Yu Wenhua said with hatred.

Yu Wenhua and the people gradually moved away, and Shi Qingyi's figure slowly walked out of the grass in the distance, "It's a pity". Shi Qingyi said to himself, because he had not prepared a boat in advance, Shi Qingyi could not catch up with the fast water in the Yangtze River, and could only watch his prey slowly lose its tracks, but it didn't matter, Shi Qingyi thought that in the next few days, he would have another chance. Thinking of this, Shi Qingyi turned around and walked in the direction of Yangzhou City along the way he came.

Danyang, located in the upper reaches of Yangzhou, is also an important waterway transportation town, Shi Qingyi went upstream, and now has arrived here, the reason why he came to Danyang is because Shi Qingyi does not know the whereabouts of Shuanglong and Fu Junwu, but this does not mean that Shi Qingyi will not be able to find them, but on the contrary, because she knows that in these two days, Fu Junwu will take the merchant ship of the Song family in Lingnan to Xishu, and because of Song Lu and Song Shidao, this big ship must be extraordinary, It was more convenient for Shi Qingyi to find, and without much effort, Shi Qingyi learned from the owner of the Yangzhou ship that the Song family's fleet was in Danyang at this time, so he rushed here, hoping to wait for Fu Junwu to appear.

On the riverside of the Yangtze River, there are many merchant ships, and there is no doubt that the fleet of the merchant ships of the Song family is the largest and magnificent, Shi Qingyi wears a hat on his head, and covers his face with a curtain, and walks towards the main ship of the Song family's fleet unhurriedly, the reason why he covers his head and face with a hat and curtain is because Shi Qingyi has washed off the camouflage of his face, revealing his face that resembles Bi Xiuxin, and the reason why she wants to use that beautiful face is also because she thought about it for a long time and decided to take a ride on the merchant ship of the Song family. However, because she was not prepared to intersect with the Song family, she did not have any identity that could be mixed in, so she could only use her original identity, that is, the identity of the daughter of the evil king and Bi Xiuxin to take the Song family's ship, and because her appearance was too attention-grabbing, Shi Qingyi had to cover her up, although the hat and curtain were also equally eye-catching, but since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, and the Confucian family became dominant, all kinds of etiquette and religion have become more and more burdensome. Women can't be seen by strange men, women in big families often have to cover their faces when they go out, although after the chaos, people generally don't get too entangled in those flashy and heavy etiquette, but even if they see Shi Qingyi wearing a hat and a curtain, they will definitely not be surprised by the fuss except for some interested fingering.

Shi Qingyi came to the entrance of the main ship, and then was stopped by the guards who were guarding the side of the ship: "This girl, this is where my Song family's ship is located, and outsiders are not allowed to break in." "That's it!" A low female voice came from under the curtain: "Then can Senior Song Lu be here, and meet Senior Song in the next place." There is no doubt that Shi Qingyi was rejected, after all, she neither said her identity and origin, but also covered her head and face, no matter how she looked at it, it was very suspicious, Shi Qingyi was not angry, she was just taking a few steps back, and then made a waiting, in this case, the fleet guards had no reason to drive away, so she could only go.

Song Lu is an elder of the Song family in Lingnan, but he is very business-minded, and takes care of almost all the business of the Song family, so his status in Lingnan is second only to Song Que of the Heavenly Sword and Song Zhi of the Earth Sword. Trafficking smuggled goods from the coastal area to the interior of Bashu is extremely profitable, and has always been regarded as the lifeblood of the Song family, so Song Lu has also been stationed here all year round to protect the safety of this business.

Song Lu is sleek and careful, although his martial arts are extremely high, but he is never proud of it, people in the rivers and lakes can be treated equally regardless of the three religions and nine streams, and they are equally educated, so they not only have a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, but also have a wide face, Shi Qingyi also concluded that as long as he makes a gesture of waiting here, according to Song Lu's character, he will definitely meet him.

Shi Qingyi's idea was correct, an hour later, a middle-aged man with silver hair on the boat, who looked like he would never be more than fifty years old, appeared in front of Shi Qingyi, he stood on the boat, looked at Shi Qingyi condescendingly, and then asked: "The girl is so persistent in wanting to see Song, there must be something very important, right?" Hearing his voice, Shi Qingyi raised her head to look at him, and then, she walked straight forward for a distance, making herself closer to Song Lu, surrounded by a layer of merchant ship guards, facing the mysterious Shi Qingyi, they were very vigilant.

Shi Qingyi raised his head like this, looked at Song Lu through the curtain for a moment, and then put his hand under the curtain and lifted it, revealing his true face.
