Although Nanshan Immortal's words were majestic, facing the Jin Yiwei's siege, he had no good way to do it and could only bite the bullet and defend.
Qingcheng and Emei are two famous sects in Sichuan and Sichuan. The Qingcheng sect is even more famous for its sword-control techniques. Their swordsmanship is extremely powerful when used in conjunction with this technique.
But unfortunately, Nanshan Immortal had been seriously injured long before. Even if he tried his best now and seemed to be able to compete with the heroes, in fact it was just a flash in the pan.
Ji Qianli was in charge of restraining the enemy, while Cui Yixiao was shooting cold arrows from behind. The two of them cooperated perfectly, and there were also the surrounding Jinyi guards who came forward to attack from time to time. The Nanshan Immortal was completely unable to do anything.
But after all, he did something before he was captured. Thanks to his activity, the other young people were able to escape.
Of course, this is also due to the deliberate laxity of Cui Yixiao and Ji Qianli. After all, the principle of Jin Yiwei's behavior is that the outline and the purpose must be clearly distinguished.
Nanshan Immortal tried to murder Your Majesty with a fake elixir, so he must die. Mr. Lu is still waiting, so catching him is the most important thing.
As for the Jianghu people who came to help, they were just minor details. So what if they were allowed to escape for a while. The entire Jianghu was within the surveillance range of Jin Yiwei. Where else could they escape.
Here, Nanshan Immortal's old wounds were not healed but new scars were added. In addition, he forced his inner strength to perform the Sword Control Technique. His leg was broken by an arrow from Cui Yixiao, and he was slashed with blood by Ji Qianli. He no longer had the strength to fight back. .
Two small flags stepped forward to lock him up and brought him to Cui Yixiao: "I have seen Deputy Cui Qianhu in my humble position, and the prisoner has been captured."
"Well done, you have made a contribution, and I will ask you for a reward." Cui Yixiao nodded to them.
"Thank you, sir!" The two flags bowed gratefully.
"Get up," Cui Yixiao said. After glancing at Ji Qianli again, he turned to the two hundred households he had brought with him and ordered: "Take the people back to the imperial prison."
The two hundred households took the order and escorted Nanshan Immortal back. After they left, Ji Qianli came forward with a serious face, knelt down and apologized: "I am guilty of a low position, please punish me."
Cui Yixiao looked at him coldly and said: "Mr. Ji Qi, you are indeed guilty. I want to ask you, since the traces of the thief have been found, why didn't you send a signal? Do you want to handle this matter with just a few of you?" Already?"
Liu Laosan explained everything. Under the premise that the traces of Nanshan Immortal have been confirmed, the correct logic should be to report to the superior. After all, Ji Qianli's job is to detect clues, not to arrest people.
Although Nanshan Immortal was injured, he was still a master of Qingcheng Sect. Judging from the situation just now, if the other party wanted to escape at all costs, Ji Qianli and two small flag officers alone would not be able to stop him.
If Cui Yixiao hadn't gotten the news in time, he might have let the thief go in vain this time. How would they explain it to Mr. Lu, and how would you explain it to His Majesty?
Because of this, despite his relationship with Bian Guang, Cui Yixiao was still very angry at Ji Qianli for making his own decisions.
He sternly asked: "Mr. Ji Qi has been working in Jinyiwei for more than ten years. He should know the rules here. It is human nature to seek merit. But you are so ignorant, do you take us seriously?"
"I was confused for a moment in my humble position! Please punish me, sir!"
Ji Qianli knelt down and lowered his head deeply to apologize. The two Xiaoqi also knelt down helplessly. After all, it was their superior officer who made a mistake. If Cui Yixiao was angry, their merits would be lost again before they could hold their hands warm.
Cui Yixiao's eyes were deep. After all, Bian Guang's favor was behind it. Even if he was angry, he couldn't punish him too much. After all, he didn't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. Besides, the Nanshan Immortal had caught it anyway, so he didn't miss anything important.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Ji Zongqi, although Nanshan Immortal has been arrested, the four madmen who dared to obstruct the Jin Yiwei's actions are still at large. You go and bring the body back. The merits and demerits will be equal, otherwise , both crimes shall be punished simultaneously.”
"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"
Ji Qianli breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He lowered his head until Cui Yixiao left, then slowly raised it. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at the two flags beside him, and smiled helplessly: "I have wronged you. I want to Follow me and get scolded."
The two of them waved their hands, and one of them, Xiaoqi, said: "Brother Ji, please stop saying that. We are also at fault for this matter. After all, it is a great credit. It fell into our hands. It is inevitable to become greedy."
This is true. When Ji Qianli decided to arrest people by himself, they did not stop him. They had the same idea. If this thing was done, the merits would naturally outweigh the faults. Unfortunately, this time his luck was so bad. Who could have thought of the Nanshan Immortal? There is still that kind of energy left.
Ji Qianli sighed and said, "Okay, Deputy Qianhu has ordered us to capture those thieves as soon as possible and put this matter to rest."
"yes!"
The two small flags responded, and several people brought horses and dozens of strong men to chase Shi Suxue and the others in the direction they fled.
At this moment, although Shi Suxue and the others escaped first, their two feet could not outrun four legs. In less than a quarter of an hour, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind them.
The faces of several people were very solemn. When the two disciples of the Hengshan Sect saw this, they looked at each other and secretly made up their minds.
"Senior sister!" The two of them stopped, and one of them shouted to Shi Suxue.
"Junior sister, what are you doing? If we don't hurry up, we will be overtaken by them!" Shi Suxue said anxiously, and as she spoke she was about to step forward and pull the other person up.
Unexpectedly, the Hengshan disciple took a step back, glanced at Deng Wanshui, who had no master, and sighed secretly in his heart. Then he turned to solemnly said to Shi Suxue: "Sister, we can't escape like this. We can only do this when we are together. It’s just that the Jin Yiwei caught up faster, someone must draw their attention away.”
"This" Shi Suxue opened her eyes slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she said in a deep voice: "I'll come! I'll lure the Jin Yiwei away, and you can take the opportunity to escape!"
The disciple shook his head and said happily: "Senior sister has this intention, and Yu Yuan is enough. However, I forgive you for not obeying your orders. Senior sister is the one with the highest martial arts skills among us, and the possibility of successfully escaping is also the greatest, so this bait , let’s let junior sister take charge.”
"Sister Shan'er! Senior Sister Suxue! I'll go too!" Another Hengshan disciple who was still young beside that disciple also volunteered.
Most of the disciples of Hengshan were people with tragic backgrounds. These two disciples of Hengshan were both orphans brought back from abroad by Jiuning when he was the former head of Hengshan. The older one was named Zhuang'er, and the younger one was named Shuang'er.
"Junior Sister!" Shi Suxue was shocked. Before she could say anything, Junior Sister Shan'er quickly clicked on the acupoint of Junior Sister Shuang'er beside her, and then pushed it to Shi Suxue.
Shan'er explained seriously: "Senior sister, you hide here first, and wait until I lure away the Jin Yiwei pursuers before leaving. Remember, don't go west, Jin Yiwei will definitely chase in the direction of Hengshan. Senior sister can only do the opposite and hide first." Only in Zhili can we escape this disaster."
"Wait a minute, junior sister, let me—"
"Sister, take care of me! Please take good care of my sister Shuang'er for me!"
Shan'er didn't wait for Suxue to say anything else, and immediately used Qinggong to run forward. At the same time, he cut his palm with his sword and sprinkled blood all the way to attract the attention of Jin Yiwei.
