Chapter 116: Chasing the Thief for a Hundred Miles

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."
