Chapter 67: Brother and Sister Meet on the Wild Mountaintop
Ling Jiu was extremely weathered, and roared in a muffled voice: "Okay! This desperate three arrows is actually the only one who has the true inheritance of your family! It is indeed very good! However, Ling can no longer indulge you!"
After that, the big sleeves fluttered left and right, moved a few feet, and was extremely frightened without a trace, turned around and hurried away, only to hear behind him, a thunderbolt, there was already a palm like rolling thunder rushing in, and there was no trace of sideways drawing a knife to block, the momentum of the thunder, he even took the knife, wrapped it, and threw out several zhang, he "plopped" and fell heavily on the ridge.
Ling Jiutian was close again, raised his hand to grab it, and before he could wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he rolled to his side, sweeping his feet with a single knife. Ling Jiutian snorted coldly, lifted his feet lightly, dodged the knife, and then, kicked out with his toes, hit the wrist without a trace, and with a traceless "oops", he shot out with a single knife and flew into the dust.
He hurriedly rolled down and wanted to get down, but Ling Jiutian was already standing in front of him, raising his feet and kicking, without a trace, he had to tap his feet on the ground, and flew out one by one, and when he fell, he only heard a loud "boom", and the rubble under his feet was flying, and he was swept away by a wave of Tiangang Qi and smashed all over his body, facing the overwhelming rubble, there was no trace to dodge, and he was instantly hit by countless rubble fragments, his clothes were broken, and he was covered in scars, and he fell into the rotten rubble that fell one after another, and passed out.
Ling Jiutian raised his palm to split, hesitated for a long time, and then took his palm, and said angrily: "There is no trace, Ling Mou can't bear to kill you for the sake of your ancestors, from now on, I hope you will do it yourself, and if you have any evil deeds, Ling Mou will take your life with his own hands!"
With that, he ignored him and floated away.
It wasn't until it was dark and the cold hit his body that he woke up in a shiver. He struggled to his feet, slowly descended from the room, picked up the dagger, and staggered to his lodgings. When he returned to his room, he took off his clothes that had become fragments, took out the gold sore medicine and roughly scrubbed the wounds all over his body, wrapped them in gauze, and threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
In this way, after lying down for three days in a row, he could barely get up without a trace, and he insisted on just eating something, only to hear someone knocking on the door outside. He opened the door without a trace, and saw a servant standing in front of the door, and rushed to deliver the words of the county, asking him to go quickly.
Without a trace, he had to change into an official uniform and wear it, with a bow on his back, still holding a knife in his arms, supporting it, and slowly going out. As soon as he walked to the door of the county office, he had already heard the county magistrate patting the table inside, and he was furious, he looked up and saw the appearance of bandaging and slowly coming in, so he pressed the fire, and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for the first few days, wrapped in gauze, and my face is haggard, so embarrassed, I don't know what happened?"
After the subordinates retired from the county magistrate that day, they didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went around to arrest the real culprit, who knew that they were accidentally surrounded by a group of beggars dressed as people, and after the subordinates knocked down several people, they were attacked by hidden weapons and injured all over their bodies.
Zhixian said: "According to the meaning of the head of the capital, do you still think that the thief is a member of the beggar gang? In that case, why did you agree to release the arrested beggar gang disciples that day?"
He shook his head and said, "If I don't get the adults to agree to release them that day, how can Ling Jiutian give up?
After hearing this, the magistrate sneered and said: "Dutou, you blindly talk about the beggars, and there is no trace of suspicion, but you don't go to investigate in detail, I don't know why?"
After a slight groan, he replied: "The subordinates think that there is nothing unusual about a maid entering the house and leaving, and the beggar gang Ling Jiutian proposed it, obviously to divert our attention and excuse the disciples of the beggar gang! The subordinates think that they should continue to track down the beggar gang, which is the right way!"
Lord Zhixian couldn't help but sneer a few times and said, "They want to exonerate the beggars?" You said all kinds of reasons, but you didn't want to check the traceless, should you want to excuse her?"
After that, he slapped the shocked wood fiercely, and said angrily: "No trace, what is your relationship with that traceless fall to the ground? Why do you maintain her everywhere? Don't you recruit it quickly!"
Wu Wu hurriedly "pounced" and knelt down, and said: "My lord knows clearly, my subordinates have really never heard of this person, and they have nothing to do with this person!"
Seeing that he refused to admit it, the magistrate couldn't help him without evidence for a while, so he had to snort angrily: "Dutou, since you don't admit to knowing her, Lord Ben believes you once, it's just that we have a five-day appointment first, and now there are two days left, within this time limit, you must arrest without a trace, otherwise I will be severely punished!"
Without a trace to defend a few words, the county magistrate waved his hand again and again, signaling him to go out, but without a trace, he had no choice but to get up and leave.
Seeing that he was staggering away, the magistrate hurriedly called the two officials outside the door in, whispered a few words, and the two agreed, hurried out of the yamen, and followed without a trace. After returning to his residence without a trace, he thought about it and had no other way, until it was dark, he hurriedly changed his night clothes, still carrying a bow, carrying a knife in his arms and going out into the back mountain.
He took out a torch from a gap in a boulder, took out a fire sickle flint from his bosom, lit the torch, held it on a high place, shook it a few times from the left and right, and then extinguished it.
Not long after, I saw the weeds swaying under the mountain, and a slender figure floated up and down all the way. As soon as she reached the top of the mountain, she came to Wuji's side, and immediately said in surprise: "Brother, what's wrong with you? How could you be so seriously injured?"
Wu Wuxian said to her: "Because the leader of the beggar gang Ling Jiutian went to the magistrate to expose you, I was worried that the matter would be exposed, so I was ready to kill him, who knew that his kung fu was unfathomable, not only did he not kill him, I was also seriously injured, and I couldn't get out of bed for three days.
Wuxian couldn't help but hold Wuji's arm, and sobbed: "Brother, it's all my sister's carelessness that made you suffer!"
He patted her on the shoulder and sighed: "Sister, now is not the time to blame yourself, we are doing this to restart the glory of the family, you have already endured too much danger by doing this! Originally, this matter just made the two beggars take the blame and beat them to death in prison, and there was no proof of their death, and the matter was over, but who knew that the matter was leaked, and now the county magistrate has begun to doubt our relationship, let me be sure to get you within five days, now more than three days have passed, I have thought about it again and again, there is really no other way, I can only return the obtained things to the magistrate tomorrow, in order to escape this catastrophe!" Wu Trace nodded, and then hesitated: "What should you do if the county asks you for someone?"
Wu Ji smiled faintly and said: "This is simple, when the time comes, it will be said that it will be found in the cave below, and you can only fight me, drop your belongings, jump off the cliff alone, and live or die is unknown! He will not be so persecuted when he sees things! After a long time, it will naturally subside!"
After thinking about it without a trace, it had no choice but to do so, and the two of them discussed it again, before they each asked for a few words, and hurriedly left separately.
The next day, it was the five-day period agreed between Wuji and Zhixian, and when the sunset was still shining, stirring up the red glow in the sky, Wuji carried a bag of things on his shoulder, dragged his footsteps, and entered the county office. The two guards of the door, hiding to the side, squinted at him, covered their mouths, and muttered quietly, with a gloating smile on their faces.
I was counting on doing this big ticket, coupled with the previous accumulation, barely enough to go to most of the activities to do the dots, and since then I have soared and flourished, and I have not thought about it, and just like the last time in Qingzhou, I was scheming, and finally ended up with a chicken and eggs.
The steps are heavy without a trace, and the heart is even heavier. At this time, I saw the master of the knife and pen, turned from behind, waved his hand at Wuji, and Wuji hurriedly went straight to the back hall with him, passed through the verandah, and passed a small corner door before coming to the backyard. I saw that the yard was full of flowers and plants, strange stones were piled up, and the county magistrate was dressed in idle clothes, sitting at a stone table, leisurely tasting tea.
Wuxian hurriedly came over to visit, and the magistrate waved his hand and smiled: "You don't have to be formal, today is the last day of the five-day covenant, and the head of the capital is coming at this time, so he must have solved the case?"
Without a trace, he bowed down and said: "What the Lord said is true, thanks to the blessing of the Lord, my subordinates happened to go into the mountain today to check, and saw a woman who was the girl who escaped from your mansion, hiding in the cave in the back mountain, I went to get her, she fought with me a few times, not an opponent, I had to jump off the cliff alone, and now I don't know whether to live or ......die."
After hearing this, the magistrate frowned, slammed the teacup, and said angrily: "Bold without a trace, this official asked you to arrest the woman who stole the thief, but now you have not caught her, what are you going to do! This official must severely punish you today to set an example!"
After that, he was about to call someone to take it down, but Wuji hurriedly put the package on his shoulder on the stone table, opened it carefully, and said: "Don't be angry, my lord, although the life and death of that person are unpredictable, and he has not been captured, but fortunately, all the treasures were left by her in the cave and have been recovered, please check them!"
When the magistrate saw it, he stopped, and while checking it carefully, he said: "Although the head of the capital has not been caught, but the recovery of the stolen goods has merit, and Lord Ben will definitely reward you heavily!"
After hearing it without a trace, his face immediately showed joy, and he hurriedly bowed down and bowed.
The magistrate slowly wrapped the burden and tied it, then looked at Wuxian and said with a smile: "But, Dutou, Lord Ben has a question for you, you have wasted three days dealing with the beggars, how can you find Wuxian in such a short time?"
Wu Wu hurriedly said: "Although my subordinates have been dealing with beggars for a few days, I have not forgotten the matter of the adults letting the girl who escaped, so I pay attention everywhere, my subordinates must have been robbing for many years, and my experience makes me suspect that she should hide in the mountains to avoid the limelight, so when I went to search, I met her, although it was accidental, it was not strange!"
The magistrate twisted his beard, squinted, looked up and down without a trace, and said with a light smile: "You have experience, but according to the experience of this official for decades, I think you must have something to do with that female thief, and even extremely familiar, otherwise, how can you let her come and let her walk?"
