Time passed and Su Qing returned to Lingcheng alone. Looking back at the way he came, he couldn't help but lament a few more times in his heart. Under the same bright moon, a few miles away in Lingcheng, he was actually causing the world to turn upside down.
The officials and Taoist priests were searching for thieves from house to house, disrupting what was supposed to be a peaceful night.
The people in the village were so frightened that they would be killed by such a sword, so they never dared to disobey any orders. No matter how unreasonable the request is, as long as it does not harm their lives, they will comply with it.
Such blind obedience will only breed more evil. Especially when the soldier is not a soldier and the thief does not look like a thief.
As a despised "snitch", Su Qing hid between the eaves, watching helplessly those gangsters who were tyrannical, preying on the people, and humiliating them in every way, but she was powerless and felt very sorry for herself. Isolated and helpless, he could only curse secretly in his heart: "It really is 'the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked'."
The Dongcheng Posthouse where the fire broke out caused a big hole. Even though the sky was dark, standing outside the Posthouse, one could clearly see the mess after the disaster.
The remaining fire that has not yet burned out makes a "cracking" sound, and the dancing firelight that stays on the broken wood reflects the bustling and bustling surrounding the post house. There are various burning smells in the air, and from time to time there are still There were lint fluttering from the bedding in the wind and flying past my eyes.
It seems that the fire did burn suddenly, enough to completely destroy the remaining slack in the hearts of Yin Qianchou and everyone in Taiping Dao.
Unfortunately, with only this few manpower, the organized defenses could not withstand Su Qing's infiltration. After all, he once entered and exited Jiangzhou City as a wanted criminal as if he was in no one's land.
This "robber" once again sneaked onto the roof of the Dongcheng Posthouse, just to explore the truth a few more times. However, this time he searched all the rooms and found no trace of that person. Therefore, I had no choice but to take the risk and sneak into the inn to make other plans.
I thought that this trip was destined to be in vain, but I didn't expect that this was to invite you into a trap.
Su Qing poked half of her face out of a room on the second floor of the post house and quietly looked at the officials and gentlemen in the lobby downstairs.
Yin Qianchou was seen shirtless, having his chest wound bandaged, and at the same time he said angrily to others: "Taoist Lei Heng, you have this kind of miracle medicine, why didn't you take it out earlier? I have been rejected a few times, but just now, I almost killed you by mistake."
"Master Yin, this 'Dream Soul Immortal Soup' is a magical medicine used by Taiping Taoists to supplement their practice. It can make people confused, fascinated, and desirous of death, leading to the feeling of enlightenment and soaring. Its materials are extremely rare and refined. The preparation method is strange, if the thief woman hadn’t falsely accused the villain of setting the fire, I wouldn’t have used it to save my own life!”
"It seems that the young lady mistakenly recognized me as her lover?" Yin Qianchou touched the injured area on his chest and said: "What a pity! It only took a few kisses for her to notice something strange. , took the opportunity to return a blow to me. Alas, this fierce horse is indeed difficult to tame. If I hadn’t been strong and rough-skinned, I would have been killed by this shrew long ago!"
Lei Heng stood by and said calmly: "Master Yin, there is no fragrant grass anywhere in the world, why should we have unrequited love for a flower? Besides, don't we already know the whereabouts of Bai Feng and Murong Yan? This is the wife of the E family who said it herself from!"
"Then Taoist Lei Heng, have you found the location of the former imperial tomb?"
"The villain has already sent out all the brothers to search for the local villages who are familiar with the road conditions. Combined with the Five Elements and Bagua techniques, I believe that we will be able to find the specific location of the underground imperial tomb before tomorrow! By then we will be ready to go out and capture them alive... …”
After hearing this, Su Qing in the dark was immediately thrown into chaos, with mixed feelings in his heart - the cause of the matter was only due to his temporary confusion, and now he wants Taiping Dao to succeed and kill several young people with lofty ideals in their prime...
He was half paralyzed in the corner of the room as if he was possessed by a demon. He didn't even notice when someone broke in outside the room.
"Where did the snitch come from and dared to steal on your grandfather's head?"
After these words, a dozen gangsters swarmed up with swords drawn and blocked the door, leaving Su Qing to retreat again and again. After retreating to the window, he saw people gathering outside the inn, and then he realized that he had absolutely no way out.
"Stop it, young master!" Yin Qianchou's voice was so intimidating that everyone who was originally blocking the door and eager to try did not dare to take a step closer to Su Qing. Immediately afterwards, there were steady and powerful footsteps, and Yin Qianqiu came: "Humph, Su Qing, I know it was you who did this good thing! Why, have you returned to your old business recently?"
Seeing that the other party was like this, Su Qing took off his mask and confronted him frankly. He raised his hands and said in respect: "My Su Qing, I have met Lord Yin Qianqiu!"
"Looking at the fact that you and I were colleagues, why should we speak so politely?"
"Then...I beg Master Yin to let that lady of the E family go. Anyway, sir, you already know where that boy Bai Feng is, right?" Su Qing knew that her identity was exposed, but she still dealt with it with ease, even compared to When facing his lover, he behaves more freely and uninhibitedly.
Yin Qianchou didn't have any weapons on his hands, his body was covered with scars, and he was still wearing bandages, but his temperament was still extremely powerful. He smiled confidently and said: "Since she is the girl that Brother Su likes, how can I be stingy as a brother? Come on, take Master Su to see Lady E!"
After hearing this, Su Qing felt that there was fraud in it, but did not detect any flaws. He followed the boy to the cellar where the food was stored in the post house, and met E Feiying who was tortured to the point of madness.
Yin Qianchou, who was following behind, saw this and immediately climbed onto Su Qing's shoulder with a smile, and said affectionately like a brother-in-law: "Brother Su, if you can take her away, I will send someone to escort you out of the city!"
I saw that E Feiying was still wearing the clothes that she had torn to pieces, but now the clothes were messier and filthy. Needless to say, her current makeup was no different from that of an ordinary beggar. She held a dagger, pointed it at the person in front of her in surprise, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Don't come over! Don't come over! Come one step closer and I'll kill you...kill you!"
Su Qing looked at the "crazy woman" in front of her in disbelief, and her heart was full of her former heroic face, and asked: "Miss E, you don't recognize me? Come on, come with me..."
"Go away!" As soon as she finished speaking, E Feiying swung her dagger and almost hit Su Qing's chest: "You... are all liars!" After that, she said to Su Qing through the air. Waving the dagger in his hand.
Seeing this situation, Yin Qianqiu didn't feel any regret. He smiled at Su Qing and said: "Hey, Brother Su, it seems that she will have to wait until she completely loses her strength before she can leave with you. Hahaha... Come on. People, send Mr. Su away!"
"What kind of medicine did you give her?" Su Qing whispered angrily, but what she got in return was the other party's ruthless contempt.
"Hey, Brother Su! I advise you not to go against the court. I let you go now because I want to be a good friend when we meet in the future!"
After hearing this, Su Qing was silent for a long time, then had no choice but to ask the boy next to him to send him away from the post house. Later, he found a hiding place around the post house and stayed there for a long time. He could not find a chance to save people and atone for his sins, which made Su Qing blame herself extremely.
In order to relieve this feeling of guilt, he often did many things. Now, he decided to wait until Yin Qianchou and everyone from Taiping Road set off towards the imperial mausoleum, and then try to follow them to look for good opportunities.
