Chapter 66: Chasing the Thief for a Hundred Miles

Yu Qingshan was going to get in the car and leave, and handed over the matter of catching the thief and taking the stolen goods to Wu Dashan, but he got into the carriage and climbed to look at it, and his eyes were fixed on Fang Jin's body and he was unwilling to leave, he had lived in Qingshan City for decades, Yu Qingshan didn't dare to say anything else, whether it was the people of Qingshan City who could recognize it at a glance, and then he had a lot of experience in collecting antique calligraphy and paintings for many years, whether it was true or false could not escape his eyes, even if it was in the baggage, just look at the shape of the baggage, the concave and convex places, if it was calligraphy and painting, it could also be seen.

Yu Qingshan jumped off the carriage and strode towards Fang Jin, Fang Jin and Su Huai saw Yu Qingshan coming, just standing in place like this, not showing any panic, as if they had nothing to do with this matter.

Yu Qingshan walked up to Fang Jin, stretched out his hand and said, "What's in the baggage, take it out and take a look."

Fang Jin didn't answer, opened the burden a small opening, took out a pair of paintings from it, and said, "It's all calligraphy and painting."

Yu Qingshan was excited when he saw Fang Jin take out the calligraphy and painting, he caught the painting thief as soon as he arrived at the city gate, but Fang Jin was too cooperative, and he stopped and called to take it, so Yu Qingshan had no bottom in his heart, thinking that Fang Jin and Su Huai were already surrounded by many soldiers, so he opened it to see if it was true or false, and he couldn't run away after a while, but he was looking forward to Fang Jin being the painting thief.

"Open it and see" Yu Qingshan said, holding the other end of the calligraphy and painting with both hands, carefully unfolding the calligraphy and painting, the painting was only halfway unfolded, Yu Qingshan suddenly shouted excitedly, "This is the painting, you are the thief of the painting."

As soon as Yu Qingshan finished shouting, he raised his head and looked at Fang Jin, wanting to remember the appearance of this painting thief thoroughly, but Yu Qingshan just raised his head, what he saw was not panic, but a smiling face, and suddenly his heart was cold, and the secret was bad, the person who can steal calligraphy and paintings from the city lord's mansion must have some ability, the distance between himself and the thief at this time is less than one meter, if the thief rises up and grabs himself as a hostage, maybe his life will have to be explained here, Yu Qingshan was afraid in his heart, his body subconsciously squatted, and he wanted to roll backwards to escape from Fang Jin。

But it was Fang Jin who slapped his palm on Yu Qingshan's chest, Fang Jin's strength was not heavy, he just wanted to force Yu Qingshan away, but what Fang Jin didn't expect was that Yu Qingshan reacted so slowly, neither avoided nor reached out to block, Fang Jin's palm hit Yu Qingshan's chest, but Yu Qingshan's hand was still holding on to the calligraphy and painting, Fang Jin looked at the half-scroll of calligraphy and painting in his hand and secretly said that it was a pity, and inserted the calligraphy and painting behind him and inserted it into the baggage.

Yu Qingshan got up, touched his chest in a panic, except for some pain in his breathing, it was fine, and then he looked down and saw the half-scroll of calligraphy and painting in his hand, and his heart was relieved and half of it was cold, and beads of sweat slipped from his body, if he let the city lord know that he tore up his painting, it is estimated that he will have to go home for the rest of his life to support the elderly and farm, "Catch him, catch him..."

Su Huai saw Fang Jin move, and no longer hesitated, Kaiyun Sword pulled out and went straight to the city gate, there were about seventeen or eighteen soldiers in front of Su Huai, the spear pointed straight at Su Huai, and poked straight towards Su Huai, Su Huai relied on the sharp hand of the Kaiyun Sword The long sword flipped over, under the number of swords, the spears in the hands of those soldiers were broken into two, the skills of the soldiers defending the city were uneven, and some of them were only in the late stage of the yellow level, and the almost ones were only a little stronger after practicing some martial arts"Smack...... "Every time the sword spine is shot, someone will be knocked away, but in just a few seconds, all the soldiers in front of Su Huai are knocked away and leaning against the corner of the wall.

Just when Su Huai made a move, Wu Dashan rushed straight to the door of Fang Jin, the huge fist was full of power, Fang Jin was not good at such a hard fight, but Su Huai opened the way in the rear, Wu Dashan's punch Fang Jin must be hard, otherwise when all the soldiers gathered to block the city gate, it would be quite difficult for the two to go out, Fang Jin clenched his fist with his right hand, and carried ten percent of the internal force, which was also a punch out, "Bang" The two fists collided and shook the ground and rocks, Fang Jin retreated quickly, but Wu Dashan fell to the ground steadily.

Wu Dashan was about to chase when he suddenly heard Fang Jin shouting "Look at the hidden weapon", his footsteps stopped slightly and he didn't dare to approach rashly, Fang Jin's left hand threw out towards Wu Dashan, and the two steel nails shot straight to Wu Dashan one after the other, Wu Dashan showed disdain, this kind of hidden weapon is going to be sent and there is no need to remind, and he has to chase Fang Jin and go sideways, "ding" There was a soft sound and the two nails collided and suddenly turned into eight steel nails and shot around, Wu Dashan had never seen such a strange hidden weapon, and he retreated in shock, crossed his hands to protect the vital point, and the two steel nails shot in the direction of Wu Dashan, one went straight into the arm, and the other shot to the waist but heard a "ding" sound, which happened to hit the token on the waist.

Fang Jin's steel nails were shot out and there was no longer any delay, and Su Huai had opened a road for him to go straight out of the city.

Yu Qingshan saw that Fang Jin was about to escape, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop him."

Wu Dashan also ordered, "Stop him", and chased after Fang Jin without caring about the steel nail in his hand.

Those soldiers guarding the gate had already been beaten out by Su Huai, leaning on the corner of the city gate, listening to Wu Dashan's order, and seeing Wu Dashan rushing over, his heart was like taking a reassuring pill, picking up the broken gun and gathering in one place again, blocking the way out of the house.

"Huh" A sound of breaking the air sounded, Su Huai shot out a sword qi, and the sword qi was divided into six, three on the left and three on the right, separating all the soldiers who were holding broken guns and wanted to gather together, Fang Jin walked between the six sword qi, no one could intercept it, and he also rushed out of the city in a few breaths and joined Su Huai.

"Go" Fang Jin greeted and walked away with Su Huai.

Yu Qingshan saw Fang Jin and Su Huai fleeing, his intestines were about to regret it, and he sat in the carriage quietly and left, but he wanted to be nosy, but now it's good, the thief didn't get it, and he also tore up a pair of calligraphy and paintings of the city lord, grabbed a soldier next to him and said eagerly, "Go and inform the city lord, the thief has been found, and you need to send more people to arrest the thief as soon as possible."

From Qingshan City to Chongming Island is a barren place, Fang Jin and Su Huai fled in front, Yu Qingshan and Wu Dashan led more than 40 people to follow the rear, Su Huai's smoke step to get rid of the rear chasers is easy, although Fang Jin has not practiced advanced body skills, but the foot strength is also the best in the same level, the two deliberately took the rear pursuers, deliberately slowed down some pace, if they were far away, simply rest for a while, then Wu Dashan's team always can't catch up with Su Huai and Fang Jin, but they can always see the two of them.

Wu Dashan had seen Su Huai's body at the city gate, even if he couldn't catch up with it, not to mention the soldiers behind him, he already knew in his heart that Su Huai and Fang Jin must have deliberately led themselves and others forward, and said to Yu Qingshan at the moment, "Master Yu, the other party is obviously leading them on the road, I'm worried that there is an ambush ahead."

Yu Qingshan didn't care about so much, he only thought about recovering the calligraphy and paintings, and said breathlessly, "Master Wu, this Gobi Beach is a flat river, where can I hide half of the people, if we can't catch up with the thief and retrieve the calligraphy and paintings, I can't keep the black gauze hat on my two hats, and Lord Wu can rest assured that he will be able to catch up when the reinforcements arrive."

Wu Dashan raised his eyes and looked around, indeed as Yu Qingshan said, the terrain was extremely flat, and occasionally raised a half-human high stone, and he couldn't hide a few people, and waved his hand and said, "Chase".

Su Huai and Fang Jin were in front, and when they saw Wu Dashan and others chasing after them again, Su Huai said, "It's already like this, they are still chasing, I'm afraid there are reinforcements."

Fang Jin said, "Qingshan City is a Xuan-level martial artist in Wudashan, and the rest of the people are afraid that they haven't even fought, even if they catch up, what can they do."

Sure enough, the two of them walked two miles again, only to hear a noise in the rear, but it was the sound of horses' hooves, the two raised their eyes to see, there should be more than 20 people on horseback, at the gate of the city, Yu Qingshan explained, pulled a soldier and asked him to go back to the city lord's mansion to report, these more than 20 cavalry must be reinforcements.

Wu Dashan galloped first, and with this newly added twenty cavalry, he only needed to temporarily trap Su Huai and Fang Jin, and when the rear men and horses arrived, they could be captured.

But what Wu Dashan didn't expect was that Su Huai and Fang Jin's foot strength was far more than that, even if they came on horseback, they still couldn't catch up with Su Huai and Fang Jin, and these twenty cavalry and Su Huai and Fang Jin always maintained a distance, and they couldn't catch up.

Yu Qingshan became more and more angry the more he chased, his heart was extremely flustered, and he said, "Master Wu, don't be in a hurry, two stinky boys, no matter how fast they run now, when they have no strength, why don't they clean up slowly", although this is said to Wu Dashan, but in fact, he is comforting himself.

Fang Jin makes a living from thieves, and escaping is his specialty, Su Huai quenches his body with thunder, and has a high and profound body method, which is much stronger than Fang Jin.

The two teams chased like this until the evening, and finally saw a trace of green on the beach Gobi, and Fang Jin was already tired at this time, and said, "It's almost there."

Su Huai looked behind him, and the more than 40 soldiers guarding the gate were gone, and the 20 cavalry could barely keep up, but they were tired and tired.

Suddenly, twenty people turned over and dismounted, holding the reins to find a place to tie the horse, Su Huai patted Fang Jin on the shoulder and said, "Brother Fang, they stopped."

Fang Jin dragged his tired body and turned to look, but saw the twenty people, some of them also tied their horses, and then found a place to sit down, almost sitting directly on the ground, holding the reins in their hands, as long as the horses did not run, those horses stood behind them and gasped for breath and did not want to move.

"Let's rest for a while," Fang Jin said, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"You can rest in peace for a while, I will guard it for you" Su Huai said, found a higher stone and sat down, watching the movements of the twenty cavalry.

Wu Dashan saw that Fang Jin and Su Huai also stopped to rest, and said angrily, "These two thieves are obviously playing tricks on us, they will repair here for one night tonight, and return to Qingshan City tomorrow morning."

Yu Qingshan was immediately anxious when he heard this, Fang Jin and Su Huai could completely throw them off several times, but they just stopped and waited, Yu Qingshan had no experience in the rivers and lakes, and he also knew that Fang Jin and Su Huai had another purpose, and Yu Qingshan finally admitted one thing after chasing all day, his team couldn't catch up with Su Huai and Fang Jin at all, but if he didn't give the city lord an explanation, he would return halfway, and he would have to lose his official position and return to his hometown, Yu Qingshan looked at the direction of Su Huai and Fang Jin, his eyes were rolling, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said" Master Wu, these two can't catch up, but they have to give an explanation to Lord Lu."

"What explanation," Wu Dashan asked, raising his eyebrows.

Yu Qingshan leaned close to Wu Dashan's ear and whispered, "This place is not far from the Endless Sea, only half a day's journey, why don't you chase it tomorrow, go straight to the Endless Sea, as long as you reach the Endless Sea, go back and explain."

Wu Dashan said unhappily, "How to explain."

Yu Qingshan said with a smile on his face, "This place is not far from Chongming Island, we just need to say that we have chased to the Endless Sea, these two people have entered Chongming Island, who would dare to take this person who has entered Chongming Island."

Wu Dashan groaned and did not speak, he had been on an errand in Qingshan City for several years, and he had naturally heard of the name of Chongming Island, even a heaven-level martial artist did not dare to provoke easily, Qingshan City was simply vulnerable in front of Chongming Island.

Yu Qingshan saw that Wu Dashan was still hesitating, and said again, "Master Wu, I know that you are loyal, but you also have to think about it for the brothers, from here to the Endless Sea for a maximum of half a day, when the time comes, why don't you go back and have an explanation, and the brothers will not be implicated, although this hundred miles of Gobi is not suitable to stay for a long time, why don't you leave as soon as you arrive at the Endless Sea, it is not a trip in vain."

Wu Dashan sighed and said faintly, "Let's go, I also want to see what Chongming Island looks like."
