Chapter 44: The Unexpected Four

The arrival of the Baili disciple really surprised General Zuo, and he looked at the Baili disciple's eyes with amazement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info After Bailitu came to Zuofu, the three of us chatted in the wing room for a while, I told Bailitu about the original situation, Bailitu was not interested in the Golden Flower Thief, but he was very happy to help General Zuo catch the thief, so he did not object, and readily agreed.

After having a simple dinner with General Zuo, we squatted near the county magistrate's mansion and waited.

Yang Baixiong, the magistrate of Yongxing County, took office as a new official, and only came to Yongxing County last year and has been managing Yongxing County for nearly a year. General Zuo said that Yang Zhixian was brilliantly written, read the Book of Poetry, often recited poems and lyrics with others, and wrote good words. However, Yang Baixiong's best skill is not poetry and words, but management ability. When Yang Baixiong first arrived in Yongxing County, the population of Yongxing County was only 2,000 households, and after a year of Yang Baixiong's care, Yongxing County simply crossed a level from the upper county to the tight county, Yongxing County seems to have become lively since then, the number of merchants has doubled, the county's various industries are flourishing, and the people are gradually getting rich. Today, the ten-mile long street in Yongxing County actually has a great relationship with Yang Baixiong.

The master said that walking the rivers and lakes should be for the sake of the people everywhere, and doing chivalrous righteousness and saving people from suffering is what a person on the right path should do. The reason why I agreed to General Zuo was probably because of this, and I had never dealt with the government, and this was the first time.

General Zuo's face was full of admiration when he talked about Yang Baixiong, as a minister, he knew that it was difficult to be an official. And I'm just a child of the rivers and lakes who was expelled from the door, and I don't feel anything about Yang Baixiong in his mouth. At this time, I only thought that I could catch the Golden Flower Thief as soon as possible and do something good for the people.

The three of us and General Zuo hid in the alley in front of the gate of the county mansion, and Huang Zhutou and the county's catcher were blocked at the back door. In order to prevent the Golden Flower Thief from attacking the west, General Zuo also sent additional guards at the north and south city gates, just waiting for the Golden Flower Thief to arrive.

At this time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the two guards outside the gate of the county mansion stood upright, and it was quiet.

The alley we were hiding in was a dead end, we could get in but not out, there were a few locust trees in it, and it was pitch black from the outside, and nothing could be seen.

Baili disciple whispered: "Brother Shadow Chasing, you said that there are so many people arranged around the county mansion, will the Golden Flower Thief be aware of it?"

Baili Tu and Lin Nan call me Gu Tian in private, and ask me to chase the shadow in front of people. I'm afraid that many people in the rivers and lakes already know about my collusion with the Demon Sect, although it is not Hengzhou City now, nor is it the territory of the Giant Eagle Gate, I have nothing to fear, but I don't want to have more unnecessary trouble.

The street was quiet, only two large lanterns hung outside the door of the county magistrate's mansion, and I said: "Since he has spoken, he will definitely think of this, and he can't talk about whether he notices it or not." ā€

Baili Tu smiled: "This Golden Flower Thief is really bold enough, and he even has to notify him in advance, as if he is afraid that we will not be able to catch him." ā€

General Zuo snorted and said, "The prefect's mansion is heavily guarded inside and outside, and even a fly can't fly in, so I want to see how he enters the prefect's mansion." ā€

I whispered: "I'm afraid that the golden flower thief is like Huang Zhutou's guess, and he doesn't mean it." ā€

General Zuo said: "Don't worry, chasing the shadow of the young man, the golden flower thief is nothing more than stealing things, escaping from the city, we are ambushed here, and the defenders have been added to the city gate, if he dares to steal, he will definitely become a turtle in the urn." ā€

Lin Nan smiled: "When the time comes, we will have a stick to beat Wang Ba, haha." ā€

I couldn't help laughing, if I want to say that the happiest person is the happiest, I'm afraid Lin Nan is the happiest. We were all nervous, but he acted as if he was fine, straightening his clothes for a while, and looking at the night sky as if he was counting the stars, like a child. If you want to talk about chasing the golden flower thief, he is more excited than anyone else, and now he is careless.

We laughed softly, and I looked at Baili and said, "Brother Baili, are you healed?"

Baili said with a smile: "It's no big deal, it is estimated that the medicine cloth can be removed tomorrow." ā€

I said, "That mountain tiger has sharp claws, I'm afraid that if it goes deeper, it will dig out your internal organs." ā€

General Zuo exclaimed in a low voice: "Mountain Tiger?"

I nodded and said, "I killed a mountain tiger in the mountains with Baili disciples, and the wound on Baili's abdomen was scratched by the mountain tiger." ā€

General Zuo looked at Baili disciple and muttered, "What a good skill......

At this time, there was a sound of gongs in the distance on the street, and at the same time a shout came: "Three watches, anti-theft and anti-theft." ā€

We were all shocked, and General Zuo slammed his fist on the locust tree and said, "It's really hateful, how can you forget this!"

I didn't expect the watchman to appear at this time, looking from afar, a person carrying a lantern in the hazy night, striking a gong in his hand, was walking unhurriedly in this direction, and his mouth called from time to time.

At this time, sending someone to drive the watchman away is undoubtedly revealing his whereabouts, and if the Golden Flower Thief discovers us, I am afraid that all plans for tonight will come to naught! We held our breath and watched the figure of the watchman walking slowly in the dark, and his voice and gong sound seemed so shocking at this time.

I looked around at the pitch black, and there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring closely at the prefect's mansion in the cover of the dense forest.

I stared closely at the watchman, he had slowly walked over, and when he walked to the door of the county magistrate's mansion, he rang the gong in his hand again, and his mouth was still shouting: "The third watch, anti-theft and anti-theft." He did not pause, slowly walked past the gate of the county government, and slowly walked away from the gate of the county government, until he disappeared at the other end of the street.

After a while, the voice of the watchman was finally no longer heard, and we all breathed a sigh of relief, and General Zuo said: "Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, what a hundred secrets." ā€

I laughed and said, "Maybe that watchman is the Golden Flower Thief." ā€

General Zuo smiled and said, "That's not going to happen, I know the husband, it's Uncle Wang on the back street, he has been fighting in the county for a long time." ā€

Lin Nan hurriedly said: "Maybe the Golden Flower Thief will be able to disguise himself, and he will pretend to be a husband to find out the truth." ā€

I smiled angrily and glared at Lin Nan.

But at this moment, an extremely angry shout came from the magistrate's mansion: "Come on, catch the thief!"

We were all suddenly startled, stood up together, and didn't have time to think about it, and immediately rushed to the gate of the prefect's mansion. The two soldiers guarding the door of the county government were also taken aback, and before we could rush to the door, they had already opened the gate of the county government and rushed in. The secret sentinels planted by General Zuo also ran over one after another and rushed into the prefect's mansion with us.

For a while, there was a sudden shouting in the county magistrate's mansion, and soldiers with torches in their hands rushed everywhere, shouting and making trouble.

When we rushed into the county governor's mansion, more than a dozen people on the ground were lying on the ground and moaning, with more or less blood marks on their bodies, and an old man in regular clothes shouted angrily: "Go and catch the thief, what are you doing here!"

Huang Zhutou also rushed over from the back door at this time, and was equally surprised when he saw the injured soldier on the ground.

One of the soldiers, with a golden dart on his thigh and spurting blood, saw us rushing in, stretched out his hand and pointed to the east wall, and said, "That man has fled over there!"

From the shouting to the time we rushed in, it was only a few moments, and the man must not have gone far.

I gritted my teeth, didn't care about anything else, lifted the ball of qi in my belly, carried it to my legs, rushed to the bottom of the wall, and jumped violently under the wall, and when I was exhausted, I suddenly supported it with one hand and jumped over the outer wall. It's exactly the same as when Zhang Xude climbed over the wall.

When it fell to the ground, the surroundings were suddenly quiet, and at this time, all the people rushed into the prefect's mansion, and there was no one else outside.

I crouched on the ground, my eyes wide and I swept around, and suddenly I saw a dark shadow flash in the distance.

I looked in the direction and chased after him.

Now my speed is not what it used to be, and I have been practicing light gong since I practiced internal strength. When I was in Dongguan Town, I often practiced light exercises in the mountains with black lights and blind fires, and at this time I was even more brisk in the streets and alleys.

I rushed to the dark place, and saw that the black shadow had already reached the roof of the house, and was running on the roof into the distance. A few people had already chased after me, and I could already hear the shouts of the hundred litu.

I stepped on the left and right sides of the wall at the entrance of the alley, jumped to the roof, and with the strength of my feet, I stepped on the house and continued to chase after it.

The black shadow was fast, scurrying around the rooftop, extremely light, and the route chosen to escape was also smooth, as if it had been premeditated. I followed his escape route, and he jumped over the ridge, and I jumped over the ridge, and he jumped over the wall, and I jumped over the wall, and I jumped over the next house, and I followed him. I have to say that although it was chasing from the roof, it was extremely easy for me, and the open space between the rooms and the spacing between the walls seemed to be no obstacles.

It seems that this person has indeed probed before, otherwise he would not have escaped so easily and casually. But fortunately, I found that the distance between me and him seemed to be slowly narrowing, and I was pleasantly surprised, so I chased him even harder. The man seemed to have spotted me and ran faster.

I don't know how long I chased on the roof, and the distance between us was always shortening. In the dark night, the only sound in my ears was the sound of me and him stepping on the tiles, and the hundred miles behind them had long since disappeared where they had been thrown to.

After chasing for a while, a black shadow of the city wall suddenly appeared in the fog ahead. I chuckled in my heart, since the man had been able to investigate the escape route in advance, then he did not flee here blindly, General Zuo's guards were all gathered at the city gate, but the rest of the city wall was unguarded.

Does he want to climb over the walls from there?

But this wall is more than ten feet high, how can people jump over it?

I thought to myself, but I didn't relax at all, and I lifted my breath to my legs, and the distance between me and the man narrowed again, and the distance between him and me was only about ten feet.

The man looked back at me, as if he had not expected me to catch up, and I had jumped over a high wall, and I chased for a moment, and with all the strength under my feet, I also jumped over the high wall. By this time, the man had rushed under the city wall, and he didn't know when he had an extra bundle of rope in his hand.

I was shocked, he had already prepared to rope over the wall! I gritted my teeth and rushed over with some vigor again.

The man had a hook in his hand, and he turned the hook in his hand, and then threw it at the wall, and the hook was thrown by him, and it rushed to the top of the wall like a meteor. The man pulled the rope tighter in his hand, and the hook was already firmly attached to the battlement!

I flew to the foot of the wall, and he had climbed up the rope, and in a few moments he was halfway up.
