Volume 1, Chapter 28: Tracking the Autumn Forest (2)
Qin Feng and others came to the east gate of Chang'an City, the east gate is the gate with the largest flow of people in Chang'an City, this gate leads to Hangu Pass to the east, and after Hangu Pass is Luoyang.
The prosperity of Luoyang City is second only to Chang'an, Luoyang City has been Wang Shichong's sphere of influence in recent years, if Qiulin escapes from Chang'an City, once he goes to Luoyang City, it is even more difficult to catch him than to ascend to the sky.
A peddler wearing a cloth hat and straw boots carrying a load of baked cakes walked sneakily at the east gate.
"Stop, it's just you!" the defender yelled, pointing at the hawker and said solemnly.
When the hawker saw this, he panicked, dropped a load of baked cakes and ran away.
"Stop, don't run" ......
The defenders quickly surrounded the suspicious peddler.
"Smack" twice......
The defenders threw two punches at the vendor, who screamed "ah" and fell to the ground.
The peddler instantly cried bitterly: "Official, what crime is the little one, you have to come to catch the little one."
Qin Feng stepped forward and touched the hawker's hand and found that the hawker's wrist did not have full strength, and he was not a martial arts practitioner.
Qin Feng waved his hand and shouted "let go", and the soldiers defending the city retreated one after another.
Then the hawker left everyone's sight with tears in his eyes.
Qin Feng felt the pressure, the current situation is relatively bad, no one has seen the true appearance of the murderer Qiu Lin, and he doesn't know if he will leave the city today, let alone which gate he will go out of the city if he escapes? Everything can only be guessed out of thin air at present.
But as the only apprentice of the Ziyang Palace of Xianyun Mountain, his master had taught him to use inspiration to make judgments, and now his inspiration told him that Qiu Lin was going to leave the city soon, and he would go out of the city from the east gate.
............
"Sir, in such a hot weather, you are thirsty, drink some bars, and bring a few pots of cool wine to honor the officials!" A young man dressed in a sackcloth suit and a cool hat went over and poured wine for each of the soldiers defending the city.
Qin Feng looked at the scorching sun in the sky, naturally he was thirsty, but he was more worried about whether he could catch Qiulin and get rid of this moth in the martial arts.
Qin Feng turned around and took a bowl of wine that the young man had given him, and suddenly felt that something was not quite right, the last few days were the most critical days to capture Qiulin, why did the soldiers still have the heart to drink? Could it be that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy?
He felt that this matter was becoming more and more problematic, could it be that this person in front of him was Qiu Lin himself?
Qin Feng raised his head and looked at the young man who was delivering the wine in front of him, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
Qin Feng suddenly grabbed the young man's hand and said, "Your Excellency is Qiu Lin who poisoned twenty-eight masters in the Xinyou Inn, and it is really hidden deep enough."
The young man gently removed Qin Feng's hand and said with a smile: "Official, you must have made a mistake, the little one doesn't know any Qiulin at all."
Qin Feng suddenly saw a golden waist card pinned to the waist of the young man, the waist card was engraved with the word "left", the waist card was crystal clear, it should be worn by a person with status, and the young man in front of him was wearing a linen suit and a cool hat, which obviously did not match the identity of the wearer of the waist card.
Qin Feng grabbed the young man's hand again and looked at him with fierce eyes.
Qin Feng pursed his lips and said, "Qiu Lin, I advise you to turn back to the shore and add less unnecessary sins."
"Oh, yes, since the official already knows the identity of the little one, there is no need for the little one to continue acting!" Qiu Lin took out a bag of powder from his right hand pocket and said, "If you want to catch me, then you have to see if the official master has the ability to catch me."
Qiu Lin suddenly sprinkled a handful of mixed spirit powder on Qin Feng's face, Qin Feng suddenly felt dizzy, and he felt that his whole body was sore and weak at this time. (Mixed spirit powder is a kind of ecstasy, can make people hallucinate, the person in this * hands and feet are weak and unable to move, the medicinal properties of this medicine have half a day, and the drug power will be automatically removed after half a day).
Qin Feng was helplessly hit by the poison of the Mixed Spirit Scatter, his whole body couldn't move, he dragged his sore legs, frowned and shouted at the soldiers guarding the city: "Go and catch Qiulin, that person is Qiulin."
Just now, Qiu Lin gave each of the soldiers defending the city a bowl of wine, but in fact, each bowl of wine was mixed with spirit powder in advance.
The soldiers defending the city in front of him were all holding their spears at the moment and couldn't move, and then they fell to the ground one by one.
In this way, under the strict defense of everyone, Qiulin still easily passed the east gate and went to Hangu Guan Taozhi to die.
After noon, Cheng Yanjin and others came to the east gate of Chang'an City.
"Strong man, strong man, what just happened here?" Cheng Biting Jin patted Qin Feng's shoulder twice vigorously.
Qin Feng opened his eyes slightly, woke up in a daze, and shouted: "It's not good, general, we have all fallen for Qiulin's plan, Qiulin has fled to Hangu Pass, if you don't send more people to guard Hangu Pass, Qiulin is likely to flee to Luoyang City."
"Ahh Cheng Yanjin suddenly looked solemn......
When everyone learned the news, they hurried to Hangu Pass.
After arriving at Hangu Pass, everyone was surprised, there was nothing unusual about the people coming and going at the gate of Hangu Pass, but the soldiers guarding the city of Hangu Pass were the same as the east gate of Chang'an City, they were all poisoned and fell to the ground, and they may have been poisoned by the same poison (mixed spirit powder).
At this moment, Qiulin had escaped from their sphere of influence, and it was even more difficult to capture him than to ascend to the sky.
"The people Qiu Lin killed this time are all martial arts masters selected by the Tang Dynasty, his purpose is very clear, that is, he wants to take revenge on the Tang Dynasty, then he will probably not go to Luoyang, and he may return to Chang'an to retaliate again!" Qin Feng tightened his eyebrows, and his eyes were deep in contemplation.
"General, I already know a thing or two about this matter, and I want to take Miss Chen to the village in front of me to check if there are any new clues about Qiulin!"
Qin Feng suspected that Qiu Lin was hiding in the village in front of him, and he might not have gone to Luoyang, so he wanted to take Siyu to the village in front to check if there were any new clues.
Cheng Yanjin showed a happy smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Strong man, you can go with confidence, Miss Chen, I have picked it up for you, I must be here soon, if the strong man can get rid of or capture Qiulin alive this time, this general will give the strong man a credit in front of King Tang."
As soon as Chen Siyu arrived, Qin Feng said goodbye to Cheng Yanjin with Siyu and went to continue their journey to track down the murderer Qiulin.
Before sunset, the two rode fast horses to the village gate in front of Hangu Pass, only to see the plaque at the village gate engraved with the three big characters of "Lingxiu Village".
