Abduct a shadow guard to investigate the case

The county government of Luanqing Town.

He Tutou is a burly man in his 30s.With just one mouthful, there is a sense of quackery, and it seems that in the next second, they will exchange cups with you.

After receiving the news that Shen Yao was looking for him, he quickly came to the gate of the county government office, welcomed Shen Yao and Xuan Qi into the door, and turned into a side courtyard.

The three of them came to the book library of the yamen, where all kinds of files under the jurisdiction of Luanqing Town were stored.

He Catcher searched for a while on a bookshelf marked "work", then pulled out a scroll, took it to the table in the warehouse and spread it out. On it was a map of water veins within a radius of three hundred miles.

"I'm so grateful for He Butou's help." Shen Yao cupped his fists at He Butou.

"Where is that?" Catcher He said in a rough voice, "He is also considered half a man in the Jianghu. Qingji Pavilion has sold He a favor before, so it is convenient for He to do it." He clicked on the map with his hand One place, said, "This is the place where the strange stump was found that day, near the Kongjia Village downstream of Luanqing Town."

Shen Yao and Xuan Qi looked down at the scroll, Shen Yao also pointed to one place, and asked, "Is this the spring of the mountain behind Lexian Tower?"

"Exactly." He Butou looked at him and said.

Shen Yao looked at Xuan Qidao, "Help me take a look together."

Xuan Qi answered "Yes", and the two carefully stared at the water vein map, trying to find an answer from the intricate and criss-crossing veins.

Suddenly, the two reached out their hands at the same time. Shen Yao started from the spring, and Xuan Qi started from Kongjia Village. The fingers of the two began to walk along the water veins on the map. Whenever they encountered a fork, they would not hesitate. Choosing a branch to move forward seems to have planned some kind of route in mind.Approaching, separating, chasing, and finally meeting, the fingers of the two touched together.

"Here!" Shen Yao said excitedly, and tapped the intersection with his hand.

Xuan Qi's hand was withdrawn quickly at this moment, Shen Yao looked at him, and saw that he had retracted his hand to his side, looking down at the water vein map.

Shen Yao raised his hand embarrassingly, moved a few fingers in turn, and finally touched his nose.

"Here," He Catcher leaned over and looked at it, saying that it was a confluence, but in fact these are two water veins, one bright and one dark, but at the point Shen Yao and the others found, they were almost close together, He Catcher said "This is a very deep place in the mountains. It is about 100 miles away from here. If I remember correctly, there is a Wujia village here. In the previous dynasty, there was an imperial envoy from the capital. It was built. But a few years ago, a plague broke out in the village, and many people escaped, and the village is basically deserted now."

"Wu Family Village..." Shen Yao read.At this moment, Xuan Qi looked up at him, waiting for his instructions.

"Let's go to Wujia Village to have a look!" Shen Yao said.

On the mountain road in the forest, two horses, one black and one brown, are galloping side by side, and the grass dances and dust is flying between the hoofs.

An hour ago, Shen Yao asked He Butou to supervise the Lexian Building, bought a brown horse in the town, rode it himself, and gave Xuan Qi the black horse of the villa, and the two headed towards Wujia Village Set off.

Wujia Village is located upstream, opposite to Luanqing Town.

The two of them rode fast for a while, and the mountain road in front of them was cut off by a big river. The river was tens of meters wide, and the water flowed fast. There was a suspension bridge hanging on the river, which was quite high from the river surface.The suspension bridge is about two people wide, the bottom is paved with wooden planks, and there are thick rope railings on both sides.

Shen Yao took out a map from his pocket, glanced at it and said, "We have arrived at the Xiling River. After crossing this bridge, we are still about seventy miles away from Wujia Village."

He and Xuan Qi got off their horses, and led the horses up the suspension bridge one after the other.

The suspension bridge is swaying, and the blue waves are turbulent under the feet. Looking left and right, there are green hills facing each other, and the river extends to the sky beside the clouds.

Xuan Qi walked behind and quietly used a heavy weight to stabilize the bridge.Shen Yao looked back at him, and was about to say something, when suddenly their expressions changed.

At both ends of the suspension bridge, a gray-clothed masked man appeared, they were the two killers who sneaked up on Shen Yao when he went down the mountain yesterday.

Shen and Xuan had just walked to the middle of the bridge at this time, the two killers each raised their swords and slashed at the ropes at the end of the bridge.

Xuan Qi's reaction was extremely fast. With one step, he jumped into the air, and with both hands, he shot hidden weapons at both ends of the suspension bridge. In an instant, several triangle darts flew straight towards the two killers, and the killers were forced to dodge.

Xuan Qi shouted, "My lord, cross the bridge quickly", and together with Shen Yao, he used his lightness kung fu and jumped towards the opposite bank.Their two horses also seemed to feel the danger, neighed, and galloped on the bridge, shaking the suspension bridge violently.Shen and Xuan could only step on the railing rope to use their strength to jump forward, and for a while, their clothes were spinning, and they rose and fell in the air.

The killers on both sides avoided this wave of hidden weapons, and immediately came to the bridge head again, and continued to slash with their swords. Xuan Qi pulled up his body again, and shot hidden weapons to both sides.The ropes of the suspension bridge on the other side may have been tampered with. At this moment, one side broke with a "snap", and the entire suspension bridge suddenly fell obliquely. Ben ran ahead, and fell down from the break of the suspension bridge. The black horse followed closely, but raised its hooves and leaped vigorously.The killer on the other side was taken aback when he saw this, the black horse ran ashore and disappeared into the forest without stopping.

At the same time, the brown horse plunged headlong into the river. The river was roaring and the water was turbulent. Seeing the horse struggling a few times in the water, and the horse's head exposed to the water being rolled around a few times, he was caught Pushed downstream, out of sight.

Shen Yao was also approaching the other side at this time, and Xuan Qi was slightly behind in order to deal with the killer.At this time, the killer on the opposite bank cut the rope on the other side, and shot a hidden weapon into the bridge at the same time.

Shen Yao took out his jade flute to block, the sound of "ding dong" hitting each other continued, and his way was blocked for a while.

Suddenly, the rope on the other side of the road was also cut off. Shen Yao and Xuan Qi felt that their feet were empty, and the entire bridge body completely fell down. Only one side was pulled by the rope. The handrail on the side that has not been broken is close to the bridge body that is hanging down.

The cold needles kept coming wave after wave, but Shen Yao blocked it with one hand, spun around the bridge several times, and was forced to retreat.

During the movement, he saw Xuan Qi following him closely, frowning tightly, eyes showing anxiety and determination, his heart suddenly tightened, and before he could open his mouth, he felt Xuan Qi push his waist violently with one hand, With all his strength, Shen Yao let go of the hand holding the railing, and his whole body was pushed forward obliquely. Xuan Qi's angle was found very well, which helped Shen Yao jump up, and avoided the shot from the bank. Another wave of cold needles came, Shen Yao took a few steps in the air, jumped to the opposite bank, and landed a few steps behind the killer.

And Xuan Qi turned around several times on the bridge in order to avoid the cold needles, only to hear a few "pop" sounds, and a row of cold needles rubbed his clothes and nailed into the bridge board one after another. The rope on one side was also cut off, and the suspension bridge swung violently towards the mountain wall where they came from, like a pendulum.Xuan Qi looked at the right time, and the moment his body hit the mountain wall, he turned around and touched the wall with his shoulders, and spun around to relieve the impact. He gritted his teeth and slapped the stone wall, kicked his feet together, and jumped up.

Xuan Qi's body had just jumped out of the edge of the stone wall, and before it landed, a sword light swept over him, and he was already prepared, and he leaned back, almost lying on the edge of the stone wall, but his feet kept moving quickly. Stepping over the edge of the stone wall, in a blink of an eye, people have drifted to the side a foot away.The killer on the shore kept chasing after him, but was half a step behind. Xuan Qi turned sideways and jumped up, falling from the killer's head. The killer stabbed with his sword. Press down on the sword body, and at the same time pop out the short dagger from the cuff, and hold it horizontally in your hand.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the killer hurriedly withdrew his sword, Xuan Qi was nimble as a swallow, jumped up again, and struck down in the air, slashing his face, forcing the killer to take a few steps back.One move missed, Xuan Qifu once landed, he bullied himself and attacked the opponent again, the opponent didn't show any weakness, he jumped forward to meet him, unleashed all the killing moves, the two of them had fought for their lives in an instant.

On the other side, Shen Yao also fought with another killer.The other party's soft sword is so strange and ingenious, it often wraps around the neck, waist and abdomen of the person. Shen Yao is holding the jade flute in his hand, turning around and defusing the attacks one by one.He only defends but does not attack, he distractedly looks at the opposite bank, seeing Xuan Qi has returned to the flat ground, and is fighting with the man in gray, so he withdraws his mind and concentrates on dealing with the man in front of him.

The strength of Shen Yao's opponent's right hand seemed to be hindered, and he attacked for a while, suffocating slightly, Shen Yao looked for a gap to attack, the jade flute was released from his hand, and hit the man's chest in a whirl, the man jumped back hurriedly, and at the same time waved his left sleeve, several The cold needle shot out quickly, directly hitting the vital points of Shen Yao's eyes, throat and heart. Seeing that the hidden weapon was coming quickly, Shen Yao threw himself to the side, turned back several times on the spot, and made a few "chi chi" sounds in front of him, All the cold needles pierced into the ground.

Shen Yao didn't dare to stop, and stood up quickly with one palm, and at the same time reached out to catch the whirling flute.

The next moment, a silver light flashed in front of his eyes, and several cold needles struck his face again, but Shen Yao didn't retreat any more, but turned his body slightly, and turned the flute in his hand like a flower, protecting his whole body from dripping water. They were all shot down to the ground.

How could the gray-clothed killer allow Shen Yao to pant, and while he was blocking, he had already come forward, and the soft sword stabbed at a tricky angle, but after all the calculations, he did not expect that Shen Yao's left hand, which was idle by his side, suddenly A stone was aimed at his ribs and popped out. The gray-clothed killer came fiercely, his ribs were wide open, and he couldn't stop. The stone hit the acupuncture point and fixed him.

Shen Yao stepped in front of him and said, "Let me see your true face." It turned out that he just turned back on the spot just now, but secretly buckled a stone and hid it in his left hand, just waiting for this opportunity.The grey-clothed killer's eyes showed a fierce and unwilling light, Shen Yao took off his mask with one hand, but looked to the other side.

Seeing this, I was terrified!

From afar, I saw the short dagger in Xuan Qi's hand twisting towards the opponent's sword. The two of them swung their palms at the same time, and the two palms collided. Xuan Qi withdrew his palm first and then turned over. Jumping up, brandishing his sword, Xuan Qi's body was already submerged in the forest.

"Xuan Qi——" Shen Yao shouted nervously, he didn't look at the killer he had captured, but rushed to the edge of the cliff, wishing he could spread his wings and fly to the other side.

He remembered that Xuan Qi's tendons were injured and his internal energy was weak, but that killer had abundant internal energy. Xuan Qi was facing his palm just now, was he seriously injured? What happened to the other side?Perhaps only a moment later, Shen Yao felt that his heart had been boiled countless times in the oil pan, and his hands and feet became cold.

At this moment, the figures of the two flew out of the woods again, and Xuan Qi frequently fired hidden weapons in the air, forcing the gray-clothed killer to the edge of the cliff.The two fought repeatedly on the edge of the cliff, with the river abyss on one side, Shen Yao could only feel his heart hanging in his throat when he saw it.

Steep changes——

The two of them stepped on a piece of loose soil, the stones under their feet could not withstand the struggle between the two of them, and suddenly a large area collapsed, Xuan Qi and the man in gray stepped on the ground in an instant, and fell into the river together!
