21. Flee to the Apennines
The manager of Mars City, since receiving the report of the scoundrel, has been worried, and now the director of East Fantasy has sent a secret letter, and he wants to catch the thief within a week, which is even more shocked.
In desperation, the chief manager could only blame Zhu Yue, the dwarf captain who was doing the work, and reprimanded: "You specialize in arresting thieves, and now you don't do your best, so that you will harm me." If you can't catch the thief within a week, you'll be sent to the dark city of Uranus! ”
Zhu Yue received the order and returned home sullenly, sighing and sighing, not knowing what to do.
At this time, his younger brother Zhu Wen came to visit him and brought him good news.
It turned out that this Zhu Wen was an unlearned guy, he lost money because of gambling, so he went to the food building to drink, where he happened to meet Zhentian and others dressed as vegetarian merchants, and heard that the Olympus rare gold coin was robbed by a group of merchants, so he suspected that Zhentian did it. He suggested catching Wu Qi who sold fresh water first, and Wu Qi's home was in Mars City.
Zhu Yue was overjoyed, and quickly led a group of dwarves to catch Wu Qi, searched everywhere in his house, and finally found the rare gold coin that had been robbed. After being severely beaten, Wu Qi said Zhentian and others.
The manager of Mars City was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered Zhu Yue to bring more dwarves to arrest Zhentian and the others.
When he came to the building where Zhentian and the others were hiding, Zhu Yue found a table to make it, and he asked the helper in the building: "Why is the building director not there?"
The helper replied, "The supervisor is out on business." After speaking, I saw a man walk in at the door of the building.
The director of this building is called Jiang Yu, who is short in stature, dark-skinned, very filial, and righteous and squandering money.
He is proficient in literature and history, likes to practice martial arts, usually likes to make friends from all walks of life, and as long as someone comes to him, he will be warmly welcomed; If you want to go, do your best to fund it.
He was always generous to those in need, and never skimped on gold coins, so he was very famous in Martian City.
At this time, Jiang Yu was walking in from outside with a group of helpers. Zhu Yue greeted him and said, "Director, please sit here."
Jiang Yu saw that he was dressed as a dwarf captain, and hurriedly asked, "This captain, what is the matter with you coming to the mansion?"
Zhu Yue said: "Please sit down and speak in detail while tasting the food."
Jiang Yu said, "Okay."
Two men sat down, and the others walked out of the building to wait.
Jiang Yu said, "May I ask what is the name of this captain?"
Jiang Yu replied, "I am the dwarf captain of the Mars Mansion, named Zhu Yue. What is the name of the supervisor? ”
Jiang Yu said, "My name is Jiang Yu."
Zhu Yue hurriedly saluted and said, "I've heard of your name for a long time, and I haven't had a chance to meet each other."
Jiang Yu said: "Captain, sit down quickly, you are too polite."
Jiang Yu asked the helper to bring some delicacies over, and while the two of them were eating the delicacies, Jiang Yu asked, "The captain came to the building, I don't know what it was for?"
Zhu Yue said: "It's not a secret, I came here to arrest thieves." I hope to get the help of Director Jiang. ”
Jiang Yu said: "Captain Zhu is the captain of the dwarves, serving the Sun Dynasty, I will definitely do my best."
Zhu Yue said: "There is a group of thieves who robbed 500,000 rare gold coins from Chief Liu of Jupiter City in Mount Olympus, and I heard that this group of thieves has come to your mansion. Now that a thief Wu Qi has been arrested, this is a wanted secret letter personally transmitted by the head of East Fantasy, and I hope that head Jiang will help complete this matter as soon as possible. ”
Jiang Yu said: "Don't say it's what the East Illusion Manager ordered, even if Captain Zhu brings a cipher letter to do things, how can I not do my best?" I just don't know who the other thieves Wu Qi said are? ”
Zhu Yue said: "The leader is Zhentian from Jupiter City, and the other people don't know what their names are."
After hearing this, Jiang Yu was taken aback, and thought to himself: "Zhentian is my good brother. He's in a big trouble now, if I don't save him, once the quilt catches, then he will die! ”
Jiang Yu was frightened in his heart, but he said: "Zhentian, this thief, is cunning and treacherous, and there is no one in Jupiter City who does not hate him. This time something like this happened, it's really self-inflicted! ”
Zhu Yue said, "Please ask Manager Jiang to help complete this matter."
Jiang Yu said: "This is a matter of course, you are welcome." I'm going to go out and take care of something first. ”
Zhu Yue said: "Manager Jiang is busy first, I'll wait here for a while."
Jiang Yu stood up and instructed the building helper: "Bring some more delicacies and let Captain Zhu eat well." Leaving the building, he hurriedly got on the aircraft and ran towards the building where Zhentian lived.
At this time, Zhentian and Ming Shiying, Long Shibian, and Tang Qi were tasting food in the building. At this time, the Black Water Pool Twins and Black Soul had already divided the rare gold coins and returned to the edge of the Apennine Mountains on the moon.
The helper ran to say that Jiang Yu was coming, just outside the building.
Zhentian asked, "How many people came?"
The helper said, "He's just flying in a flying machine and saying he has to see you right away."
Zhentian said: "There must be something urgent." Hurriedly came out to greet him.
Jiang Yu made a simple salute, then took Zhentian's hand and went to the building.
Zhentian asked, "Why is Manager Jiang so flustered?"
Jiang Yu said: "You don't know yet, you are my best friend, and I am desperate to save you." Your robbery of rare gold coins has alarmed the Sun Building, Wu Qi has been arrested, and he has spoken out about all of you. The Martian City Administrator has sent the dwarf captain Zhu Yue to my mansion to arrest you. Hurry up. ”
After hearing this, Zhentian was taken aback and said, "How can I repay my brother's great kindness!"
Jiang Yu said: "Brother, don't say it again, run for your life quickly, I have to go back immediately."
Zhentian said: "The Black Water Pool Twins have returned to the moon, and there are three more people here, you can meet them."
Zhentian called the three people over, pointed at them and said, "These three, one is Ming Shiying, one is Long Shibian, and the other is Tang Qi."
After Jiang Yu saluted, he turned around and left, saying, "You guys hurry up and run, brother, I'm leaving." Jiang Yu jumped on the plane and hurried back.
When he returned to the mansion, the two dwarf captains sent by Chief Liu of Jupiter City to assist in the capture also arrived, one was Chen Tong and the other was Liu Mu.
Jiang Yu saluted and said, "If you go to arrest during the day, I'm afraid that the news will leak, so you should go at night." As long as Zhentian is caught, the rest of the people will not be able to escape. ”
That night, Chen Tong and Liu Mu rushed to the mansion where Zhentian lived with a group of dwarves.
When he came to the building, Zhentian hadn't packed his belongings yet. When the helper of the building saw Chen Tong and Liu Mu rushing over with the dwarf, he reported to Zhentian and said, "The captain of the dwarf is here, hurry up!"
Zhentian and Long Shibian rushed out of the building with steel knives and shouted, "Whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill whoever comes."
Liu Mu shouted in the dark: "Zhentian, don't go!" I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”
Where did Zhentian have time to talk to him, and rushed over desperately with Long Shibian.
Liu Mu turned sideways, flashed to the side, made a way, and let Zhentian go.
Zhentian let Long Shibian go first, and he himself was behind.
Liu Mu left more than a dozen dwarves, took a big knife himself, and chased Zhentian.
Zhentian said as he ran: "Captain Liu, why are you only chasing me?" I didn't offend you! ”
Liu Mu saw that there was no one behind him, so he said: "Zhentian, why don't you accept my love, I deliberately gave way for you to escape." Now you have nowhere else to go but to the Apennine Building. ”
Zhentian said: "Thank you for saving your life, and you will definitely repay it in the future!"
At this time, I heard Chen Tong shouting behind me: "Don't let the thieves escape!"
Liu Mu said to Zhentian: "Don't panic, just run away, I'll let him chase other places."
Liu Mu turned around and shouted, "There are three thieves behind you, Captain Chen, you hurry up and chase after you."
Chen Tong took the dwarf and turned around.
Liu Mu chased after Zhentian while talking to him, watching Zhentian run farther and farther. He deliberately stumbled and fell to the ground. The helpers in the back came with the dwarves and helped him up.
Liu Mu said: "It was too dark, I accidentally fell, and my leg was injured."
Zhu Yue, the captain of the dwarves of Mars City, said: "Now that Zhentian has run, what should I do?"
Liu Mu said: "It's not that I don't chase after me, it's just that it's too dark." These helpers and dwarves are also waste, and they dare not chase after them. ”
Zhu Yue asked the helpers to chase the dwarves again, and the helpers all bluffed after chasing for a while, and then came back and said, "I can't find it anymore, I don't know where I ran to."
While chasing after Chen Tong here, he thought to himself: "Liu Mu has such a good relationship with Zhentian, it is estimated that he will let him run away, and I should not be a bad person." Besides, Zhentian's person is not easy to mess with. ”
After chasing like this all night, not a single thief was caught, Zhu Yue complained: "How can I deal with the manager of Mars City when I go back!"
There was no way, Zhu Yue returned to the Mars Mansion and told her what had happened.
The manager of Mars City asked Wu Qi to bring him up again and asked, "Those two Black Water Pool knights, what planet do they live in?"
Unable to resist the whipping of the dwarf captain, Wu Qi said: "One is called the Black Water Ghost and the other is called the Black Water Soul, both of whom live on the edge of the Apennine Mountains on the moon."
The Martian City manager asked again, "What about the others?"
Wu Qi said: "One is Ming Shiying, one is Long Shibian, and the other is Tang Qi."
After hearing this, the manager of Mars City said to Zhu Yue: "Since the names of the thieves are known, close Wu Qi into the dark room again." Then he ordered Zhu Yue to go to the Apennine Mountain on the moon to capture the Black Water Pool Shuangxia.
