Chapter Ninety-Six: Jiang Qing Yueming

Tang Xixi turned into a night wind and spun to attack the four of them. The golden hairpin in his right hand first pierced Ye Maolin's right eye at an extremely fast speed, and the five fingers of his left hand formed a claw and grabbed Sima Jiandong Tianling Gai. At the same time, his feet kicked out a chain of legs in the air, running towards Shen Chaixing's chest and Linglong'er's temples respectively, attacking four people at the same time in one move. At this time, the four of them were not ready, and none of their weapons were shown.

Ye Maolin was first frightened by Tang Xixi's terrible changes, and at this moment he had not completely woken up from the shock, when the golden hairpin stabbed at him, he forgot to dodge, and he was about to be pierced, and the consequences were unimaginable, and Sima on the side pulled him away.

Sima couldn't dodge because he was taking care of Laye Maolin, although he avoided his head, he was hit by Tang Xixi's claw in the chest, and he was grabbed by a piece of belt meat, and blood flowed. Fortunately, because the speed was too fast, the injury was not too deep, Rao was so, and Sima gritted his teeth in pain.

Shen Chaixing saw Tang Xixi's chain of legs running towards him and Linglong'er, but he didn't panic or dodge, but instead stepped forward, and struck Tang Xixi's foot on the position of the spring acupoint, a strong internal force penetrated through the body, and suddenly the second leg couldn't kick out, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Tang Xi cherishes that he wins in speed, but Shen Chaixing's strong internal force can restrain his speed advantage.

At this time, Ye Maolin also came to his senses, pulled out the short sword he carried with him, and pounced on Tang Xixi, who fell back to the ground. Due to the small space, Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er did not step forward, but only watched the battle on the periphery.

In this fight, Sima and Ye Maolin both used short blades to fight in close combat, and Tang Xixi's right hand golden hairpin and left hand claws were shorter than the weapons of the two, and the three of them went back and forth in a narrow space, fighting endlessly.

Ye Maolin usually gives people the image of a son, but he is not ambiguous when he moves, only to see his short sword stab, cut, wipe, piercing, constantly changing techniques, the advantages of the short sword to the fullest, although this person is not a person in the martial arts, but has been stronger than most martial arts masters, should have been guided by famous experts, and he has also worked hard, but he is just inexperienced in facing the enemy.

Sima Jiandong's martial arts are much higher than Ye Maolin's, and his attainments are no longer under the ordinary masters of the rivers and lakes, and even surpassed. The same is a two-purpose heart, the right hand iron ruler, the left hand or palm or claw or fist, varied, obviously there are hills and valleys in the chest, familiar with the fist road palm method.

The three of them are currently tied, on the one hand, because of Tang Xixi's peculiar martial arts, Rao is Sima Jiandong's well-informed, but also the first time to see, its characteristics are described in two words as "fast, strange", among the three, Sima Wugong is the highest, but due to the small space, can not give full play to the advantages of the two together, at the same time, Sima also wants to capture Tang Xixi, in order to understand the secret behind the "orchid thief", so he has never been a killer. This is probably also a common problem of all head hunters, and they will not kill criminals as a last resort.

At this time, the three of them rose and fell, and the faster they fought, the sound of weapon clashing, scolding, and fist wind were intertwined. Tang Xixi's left hand claw and right hand golden hairpin quickly attacked Sima Jiandong several times in a row, and Sima's kung fu could only temporarily dodge, revealing a gap, Tang Xixi seized the opportunity to secretly suddenly cast a chain of legs on Ye Maolin, after Ye Maolin avoided seven moves in a row, Tang Xixi suddenly grabbed Ye Maolin with a claw. Ye Maolin waved his left palm to block, and was just about to stab out with the short sword in his right hand, when suddenly the opponent's arm actually exploded by a foot, and went straight to Ye Maolin's front door. Although Sima was by his side, he couldn't save him, so he could only hit Tang Xixi's chest with one palm at the same time, hoping that this move of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" could force Tang Xixi to withdraw his must-kill move against Ye Maolin.

How do you know that Tang Xixi did not dodge, and still grabbed Ye Maolin at the door. Seeing that Ye Maolin was not dead and seriously injured, at this time, like a trick, Ye Maolin's body actually moved back a foot away, and there was actually a different person in his original position - Shen Chasing Xing!

It turned out that although Shen Chaixing did not participate in the battle, he had always observed on the sidelines, and had seen through Tang Xixi's martial arts, and an indescribable intuition let him know her next move, although Tang Xixi's move was very sudden, but Shen Chaixing also came to Ye Maolin in a somersault at the same time, and threw Ye Maolin behind him before landing, and stood in Ye Maolin's original position.

Tang Xixi's claw grabbing Ye Maolin's face door turned into grabbing Shen Chaixing's face door, Shen Chaixing had already prepared, not in a hurry, and seemed to slap the other party's paw with a slow and fast palm.

Before this, Sima's palm was printed on Tang Xixi's chest first, but he felt that the opponent's chest was suddenly sunken, and the palm power was empty, although it was only an inch or two apart, there was a world of difference, and the other party was unscathed.

Shen Chaixing made a real move with Tang Xixi. Although Tang Xixi did it deliberately, Shen Chasing Xing seemed to have an idea, but the effect was just the opposite, a "bang" sounded out, Shen Chasing Xing did not move, Tang Xixi spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow", obviously suffered a lot of internal injuries, fortunately, Shen Chasing Xing had pity, and only used three layers of internal force, if Shen Chasing Xing did his best, Tang Chasing was killed on the spot. If you only talk about the strength of internal strength, there are few people in the world who are better than Shen Chaxing.

Tang Xixi was also very particular about vomiting blood, half because of the injury, and half because of this to urge the domineering mind, he suddenly retreated at high speed, turned over and fell from the third floor to the first floor deck.

Sima followed and jumped down, Shen Chaixing and the three of them also jumped to the first deck one by one, and Linglong'er finally landed, her eyes scanning for a week but she didn't see Tang Xi's figure.

At this time, a bright moon was hanging in the sky, the river was clear and the moon was bright, and the bow deck was as bright as day, but everyone glanced left and right, and there was no trace of Tang Xixi. Ye Maolin said: "Could it be that she has already jumped into the river and escaped?"

Sima Jiandong shook his head and said: "The river water is not as good as the river water or the lake water, you see that the flowing water in the river is calm now, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging inside, and no matter how strong the water is, it will be swept into the bottom of the river." Jumping into it is a matter of death. ”

Several people went to the side of the boat to check to see if she would hang overboard, but they found nothing. Could it be that Tang Xixi really jumped into the river?

While everyone was suspicious, Linglong'er suddenly pointed to the deck on the ground, and Shen Chaixing and the three of them hurriedly looked down, but there was nothing on the deck. Suddenly, Sima Jiandong suddenly understood what Linglong'er meant, there was really nothing on the deck, but there was a shadow of a mast reflected on it, and there seemed to be a figure lying on it at the end of the shadow of the long and slender mast.

In order not to alarm Tang Xixi on the mast, Linglong'er deliberately did not point upward. The crowd quietly surrounded the mast.

Which one of the people approached the mast, and Tang Xixi, who was squatting high above, had already discovered everyone's intentions, and seeing that he could not avoid it, he was in a hurry and shook the mast vigorously.

Although the mast was thicker than the sea bowl, it was several feet high after all, and it was full of toughness.

When Sima Jiandong saw it, his voice was not good, so he hurriedly rushed to the mast and tried to climb it, but it was too late. At this time, the boat happened to sail to a narrow section of the river, and the mast swaying from side to side was like a big bow that catapulted Tang Xixi out. Tang Xi bent his body, in the shape of a ball, rolled in the air for several weeks, and drew an arc and landed on the river bank. Tang Xixi, who landed on the ground, rolled a few times on the soft shore, stood up unscathed, waved his hand far away at everyone on the boat, and disappeared into the nearby jungle.

Shen Chaixing also wanted to do the same, but was stopped by Sima Jiandong. Sima explained that at the current speed of the ship, and then climbing the pole and catapulting past, the two were already one or two miles apart, and the nearby jungle was dense and the terrain was complicated, so it was extremely unlikely that they could catch up.

Shen Chaixing asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Sima Jiandong said: "For me, good results have been achieved, the identity of the most important suspect in the 'Orchid Thief' who has endangered Jiangnan for many years has been determined, and if you want to solve this case, you must start with Tang Xixi." ”

Shen Chaixing asked, "Where are you going to arrest her?" Now that her identity has been exposed, she will definitely hide far away and never appear again." ”

Sima Jiandong smiled and said, "You still don't know these people, they have spent so much effort to break into the Sha family, and now that it is time to harvest, why should they give up? Greed is the motivation of these people and their weakness. Tang Xixi will definitely return to Shajiabao to be her master, and I will go there to find her, which is called the monk who can run away from the temple. ”

Linglong pouted and said: "I'm afraid that when you rush there, this monk has already become the presiding abbot, and the Shuzhong Sha family has also become the Shuzhong Tang family, and they will deal with you with their power, Brother Sima, what do you think you have a chance of winning?"

Sima Jiandong nodded and said, "Sister Linglong is right. Besides, I am now on a boat, so I can recuperate and recharge my strength, and immediately change my fast horse after arriving in Chengdu, and it is very likely that I will arrive at Shajiabao before Tang Xixi, as long as I explain the reason and return Sha Junbao's body, then Tang Xixi will become a self-defeating net. ”

Although Sima said this, everyone knew in their hearts that the situation was not as optimistic as he said, and Shajiabao, as a major underworld force, could easily believe in the head catchers in the official government? Besides, Tang Xixi had been operating in Shajiabao for three years, so how could she not have her own henchmen? Even some people in the organization behind her had quietly arranged for the Sha family, so Sima was actually more than lucky.

Sima Jiandong asked where a few people went, and Shen Chaixing said apologetically: "I really want to help you, but I still have a friend whose life and death are unknown now, I need to arrange for someone to inquire, if he dies, then everything will be over, and I will not avenge him, but if he is still alive, I will find a helper to find a way to save him." Speaking of this, the circles under my eyes turned red.

Sima Wen Yan sighed and said, "To be honest, this thing you have to do is much more difficult than this thing I have to do. ”

Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er looked at Sima Jiandong in surprise when they heard this. Sima smiled bitterly: "I didn't know at first, but then I saw the sword you hid and knew your identity, and I also knew the identity of your friend." Don't worry, your business has nothing to do with me, but as an official of the imperial court, I can't help you. I don't know. ”

Shen Chaixing smiled: "I didn't expect my sword to be more famous than me!" Everyone laughed.
