Yellow Cuttlefish held his hands in his arms and said with a thoughtful look on his face: "Hey, the weather is really not right and strange things happen frequently. The young prince Huo Bafeng was first killed for no reason and his head was missing. Later, Huo Zhan went to Beishan to capture the murderer, together with Eighteen wolves were also killed, and even their bodies were burned to charcoal. Now, Yan Feiyang, the young head of the Qingfeng Escort Bureau, died tragically for no reason, and his head was hung on a flagpole for public display. Our flag city has always been peaceful, how could it suddenly become a It’s on the cusp of a storm!”
Zhao Liang deeply agreed and nodded: "That's right. The three people who died were not small roles. Huo Zhan was nicknamed the 'Century Wolf Su'. Although he was only a housekeeper in the palace, he possessed peerless martial arts. Hundreds of people couldn't get close to him. He was also experienced and ruthless. Within a few hundred miles of the flag city, there was no gang leader who wouldn't tremble in his legs when he saw him. Such a person was actually killed. The same was true for Yan Feiyang, a master disciple of the Hundred Refining Demonic Way. , everyone in the world knows the soul-chasing Golden Lingxia. In terms of martial arts, there are no more than five people in Qicheng who can match him. To be able to kill these two people, Qicheng must have a fierce god. What happens next is not a big deal. No."
Everyone nodded.
The arrester He Tianqi looked indifferent, shook his head, and said nonchalantly: "Jianghu, that's it. You kill me today, and I'll kill you tomorrow! Whether it's a vicious god or an evil ghost! Let's just stay there and don't worry about it. What's the matter? Anyway, Prince Wu's Mansion doesn't like us, and the Qingfeng Escort Agency has nothing to do with us. Let's try to hide as much as possible. It's better to talk more than less. Let's stop talking about other people's big shots."
Yellow Cuttlefish said with a smile: "That's right! Lao He is right. Both families are tycoons, and they don't look down on our chief fisherman, so let's leave little people like us alone! Hey, have you heard about it? Your Excellency's best friend Jian The Lord of Guan City, Ji Cheng, is here, and the two families have already decided on the marriage of their children. The wedding is expected to be held in a few days. This is a rare and happy event!"
Hearing the happy news, everyone's faces started to smile.
Qin Lang was not happy. He covered his mouth with his hand, but whispered to a few people: "What a happy event! Haven't you seen Ji Changkong's appearance? I have never seen such an ugly person. Our Lord and Ji Cheng They are childhood best friends, and they arranged this marriage twenty years ago. Who would have expected that this Jicheng's son would later grow frustrated. Xue Yuran is known to everyone as the most beautiful woman in Qicheng, but she wants to marry the ugliest person in the world. The man is really a man of God’s will.”
Yellow Cuttlefish said with a smile: "Hey, what's the point of being ugly? The Ji family is a wealthy family, one of the best in the world. And I heard that Ji Changkong is a close disciple of Taoist Ziliu. Taoist Ziliu is the undefeated sword of all men in the world. Saint, his "Songshi Sword Technique" is unpredictable, and he has been at the top of the world of swordsmanship for twenty years. With such a master, Ji Changkong's sword skills are definitely not bad, and his character must be first-rate!"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Only Zhao Liang showed a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth and shook his head, but did not say anything. He had seen Ji Changkong tear out people's tongues with his hands. It was true that he was a strong martial artist, but he was not necessarily a first-class person!
Everyone was chatting, and suddenly the fragrance filled the sky. Inadvertently, he raised his head and looked towards the source of the fragrance.
But I saw red rose petals all over the sky, falling like goose feathers and floating like catkins. A handsome young man in red clothes, wearing a white rose pattern mask, is walking on flowers in mid-air, like a fairy dancing alone! The scene is extremely beautiful and all viewers are shocked.
The young man in red flew around in the air, showing his extraordinary posture. Then he laughed loudly: "Haha! I, Hong Menglang, am here. Listen carefully, tonight, I, Hong Menglang, will come to the Chief Catcher of Flag City to steal the most beautiful woman in Flag City and be my beautiful girl for one night. In advance. I say hello to you, and get ready to send off your bride! Haha! Haha!"
After that, the man in red threw a red rose in the air and pierced the locust tree in the courtyard like an arrow! The body disappears into the petals and disappears like an illusion in front of everyone.
After the other party left, everyone was still in a daze, feeling like they were seeing the immortal in their dreams. I was amazed at the beauty of his figure and the lightness of his body.
Although Zhao Liang is not very capable, he is well-informed. As if waking up from a dream, he was the first to shout: "Hongmenglang, the thief of Jianghu flowers! He is a flower thief! If you have suffered, please report it to your lord!"
Only then did everyone react, running around to tell each other.
One wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen. There are so many major events that have happened in Qicheng recently that people can't finish chatting about them. Zhao Liang and the others just discussed that these matters have nothing to do with their chief arrest officer. Unexpectedly, something relevant would come up so soon.
In the chief arresting officer's hall, all high-ranking arresting officers gathered together again.
Xue Yang looked at the roses in his hands and frowned deeply. I have heard of the reputation of the Flower Stealer and the Red Menglang, but I never expected that this guy would find his name. He dared to provoke him in advance, he was really arrogant.
Throwing down the roses, everyone frowned and said, "It is rumored that Hong Menglang was taught by Hua Duxiang, the master of the Huaxiang Sect, and his skill in flying flowers is not even weaker than that of Hua Duxiang. And he is good at using the magic of poison. In recent years Come on, women from wealthy families in the Jianghu who have not yet left the palace have been poisoned by him many times. Tonight, we must catch him and eliminate this great harm to the Jianghu!"
Ji Cheng slapped the table angrily: "Hmph! What a red dreamer, I think it's better to call him a dung beetle! How dare you dare to be so provocative! How dare you be so provocative! How can you be afraid of a mere flower-picking thief! It's okay if he doesn't come tonight, otherwise I He will cut it in half and hang it on the flagpole for public display.”
Everyone laughed. It seems that the matter of Yan Feiyang hanging his head on the flagpole has become a hot topic.
Xue Yang continued: "In terms of force, he is naturally not our opponent. But he is good at using tricks and is cunning. Moreover, since he dares to declare a challenge in advance, it means that the other party must be prepared tonight. We must come up with a sound strategy. Since we can Catch the person, but also protect Yuran’s safety.”
Ji Cheng said shamelessly: "Humph. The most common tricks in the world are nothing more than poisoning, sneak attacks and the like. This is our own territory, with the strength of the people, he probably won't be able to succeed in a sneak attack. We only need to kill Yuran's boudoir eight Surround him tightly. Guard the roof, underground, front and back yards, and the left and right walls. Unless he is a god and has the ability to hide through walls, he will die if he comes."
Xue Yang: "Well, I think so too. Seeing that it's getting dark, there's not much time left. Without further ado, let's arrange the troops first. Tonight, not only the inside of the chief arresting department, but also several streets outside the chief arresting department will Arrange people to guard. Chief Xie Xu's arrest department is yours to arrange. You arrange eight hundred agents to hide people everywhere. Even toilets, grass, trees, ditches, beams, and roofs must not be spared."
Xie Xu nodded and said: "Don't worry, master, I'll make arrangements right away. I guarantee that there will be one person every five steps away, and he won't be able to squeeze in even if he wants to."
Xue Yang nodded, glanced at the crowd again, and found that Luo Tianyao was not there, so he turned to look at Ye Tan and ordered: "Ye Tan, you are a smart man, take 200 people with crossbows and hide them in the chief arresting department. Hidden on the roofs of houses in nearby streets. Tonight, if the chief arrest officer misses, you will shoot him. The red dream wolf is so skilled in lightness that ordinary people cannot catch up, and only crossbows can be used."
Ye Tan: "I understand, master."
Xue Yang nodded, looked at He Mingming again, and ordered: "Mingming, take people to the four city gates to look after them. The city lord Sikong Ming has not come back, and I cannot mobilize the city guards. The city gates are the last line of protection, to prevent us from missing. , you need to arrange twenty people at each city gate and on the city wall, and prepare extra nets and crossbows to prevent him from escaping from the city gate tonight. By the way, the armored soldiers from Prince Wu's Mansion are also guarding the city gate, don't fight with them In case of conflict, tolerance comes first.”
He Mingming smiled and said: "Don't worry, master. This matter is all mine. It's not just once or twice. I know what to do."
Xue Yang nodded and looked at Zhao Xue: "Zhao Xue, you lead two hundred agents to form twenty patrol teams. We will patrol all night long to prevent the Red Dream Wolf from causing trouble late at night. In addition, provide all teams with equipment. Gong, once you find any trace of a thief, you must immediately sound the gong as a warning.”
Zhao Xue: "Don't worry, master. As long as he dares to come, I will send him back to his hometown with a sword!"
After giving instructions to several apprentices, Xue Yang looked at You Fangzhi, the top arrester of the Chief Inspector's Department, and said with a smile: "You Sizheng, please arrange patrols on the streets outside the Chief Inspector's Department tonight. In addition, let's The people in the nearby streets have prepared more braziers and torches so that they can use the light to chase Hong Menglang tonight."
You Fangzhi is only fifty years old, with an upright face and a kind appearance. She has been in officialdom for thirty years. A woman can go from the fiercely competitive chief inspector to a fifth-rank deputy chief, and she has her own set of skills in doing things. Moreover, she always looks cheerful and smiling. For three years, Xue Yang still couldn't figure out what her character was.
