Chapter 435 Testing Each Other 1
Xiao Shu opened his white jade fan and fanned it twice, then shook his head helplessly. As the two women deliberately ignored him, he turned around and left.
Wang Meimei didn't want her brother Xiao to have more contact with the woman in red who was three points prettier than her. Lianyi felt that Xiao Shu was a smiling tiger at first glance, so it would be easier to get some words from Wang Meimei. Although their starting points were different, their goals were the same. They unexpectedly reached a tacit understanding and talked excitedly.
On the other side, the secret guard who captured the bandit leader came directly to Qi Qi and said in a low voice:
"Sir, Madam Zhen and Miss Lianyi are both very skilled. They both know martial arts, and the guard Lianyi is very skilled in Qinggong and swordsmanship. I can't tell what her martial arts skills are."
Qi Qi's eyes flashed, and he didn't seem surprised:
"It seems that they are the ones who hurt the mother and son of Fengqi Wutong."
"But they seem to be inexperienced in the martial arts world, and she calls herself the 'Flying Sword Fairy', which I have never heard of. If she is such a powerful person, it is impossible that we did not have her information when we were collecting intelligence."
"Maybe this is his first time walking outside."
Qi Qi said to himself.
Lianyi had already established a good relationship with Wang Meimei at this time, and they had started to call each other sisters. When she found out that Wang Meimei wanted to know, she declined the other party's invitation to go to the bandit's lair together. She had looted all the money there, so what was the point of going there!
"Thank you Meimei for the invitation, but I have to protect my wife and settle those little rascals. Besides, even if I tried to stop them, I didn't catch the bandit leader, and I didn't officially join the operation to eliminate the bandits. It's not appropriate for me to get a share of the pie now."
Lianyi refused clearly, indicating that she was definitely not the kind of person who would take advantage of others.
As for the other party's words, maybe there is a treasure map, she said that the treasures looted by these bandits are all in her space, how could she not know whether there is a treasure map? At first glance, these people were tricked by the Huairou County Magistrate.
If she was not a member of the Wang family, she might have gone there with the mentality of giving it a try. However, the eldest daughter of the Wang family was sitting in the car, and she had the jade key left by her mother in her hand, so she was very sure that these people would return empty-handed. She simply made a gesture to leave a good impression on the other party.
"Lianyi, what you said makes sense. In that case, I won't force you. Where are you going next? When things here are over, I'll go play with you."
Wang Meimei felt that Lian Yi was a very principled and strong-willed person, and she wanted to make a closer friend of her.
"I will send these children I picked up along the way to Huairou County Government Office, and then I will temporarily stay at the largest inn in Huairou County to rest for a day or two and deal with the children's affairs. When you have completed your task here, come to the inn to find me."
"good!"
After the two made an agreement, they separated.
Wang Meimei went to meet up with Xiao Shu, while Lianyi went to find Qi Qi.
"Master Qi, I rescued these children from the bandits' den. They seemed to be raised by the bandits and sold out. As for where they were sold, these children don't know. The ones who were responsible for buying and selling the children were the old woman and the boy who had plotted against my wife and me before. They were the mother and son of 'Feng Qi Wu Tong' you mentioned."
"Oh? You mean, this is their lair?"
"My guess is that it could be a transit point for human trafficking."
Lianyi expressed her guess and then waved to the young boy in the lead.
After seeing this, the other party said something to the little girl next to him, then trotted over to Lianyi.
"Lady, what do you want to ask me?"
"This is Mr. Qi, who used to be the county magistrate. The mother and son of 'Feng Qi Wu Tong' that you mentioned were captured by him. He wants to ask you a few questions about the bandits. Tell him everything you know."
Lian Yi patted the other person's shoulder and said.
"Yes, lady!"
The young boy immediately nodded in agreement.
Qi Qi winked at the other person beside him, and the other person stepped forward and took the boy aside, but did not let him out of Lianyi's sight, and asked in a low voice.
"Guard Lianyi, you must come with us to Huairou County next."
"Of course, these children also need to find a place to go. I'm sure your men have already told you."
"Well, I'm afraid you'll have to give away some of the silver you got from the bandits."
Qi Qi took precautions in advance.
"All right! One thousand taels, no more! I still have to take care of these twenty children! Raising children costs money."
Lianyi readily took out a silver note and handed it directly to Qi Qi.
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this person to be so direct.
"We have been following your convoy all the way, and we have benefited from it. These are just some tokens of our appreciation."
Ripple said with a smile.
Qi Qi took the banknote. After the young boy finished his questioning, he turned back to Lian Yi and said with his head raised:
"Lady, I told them everything."
"Okay, let's continue on our way."
"Let's go together!"
Qi Qi spoke up.
He then arranged for a few people to clean up the mess, and continued to cross the canyon with Lianyi and the others towards Huairou County.
Xiao Shu looked at the group of people leaving, and his expression was obviously much more relaxed. Each of them had extraordinary skills, and it was because of the joining of these people that the balance between them and the bandits was broken, allowing them to quickly suppress the bandits.
Of course, they did not tell the truth. They only said that they were commissioned by the county magistrate to wipe out this group of cunning bandits in order to eliminate harm to the people. They did not mention anything about the treasure map.
Now that the people have left, they can proceed to the next step.
"Xiao Shu, tie up all the bandits who are still alive and hand them over to those people for care. We'd better find the bandits' lair as soon as possible to avoid being beaten to it by others."
A hunchbacked man with a beard said with his eyes narrowed.
"I know. Let Spider-Woman go up and scout the terrain first."
"She went up after that group left, leaving marks along the way. We have to catch up quickly."
"Walk!"
Xiao Shu waved his hand, and this group of gangsters who could not wait any longer quickly moved forward along the canyon wall towards the bandits' lair.
After Lianyi and Qi Qi and their group walked out of the Grand Canyon, they continued on their journey for another day and finally saw the gate of Huairou County on the afternoon of the next day.
When entering the city, Lianyi and Qi Qi separated.
Qi Qi's men escorted the two bandit leaders all the way back. The two had been hungry for two days, and their steps were a little unsteady. In addition, they were injured and bleeding, and their faces were very haggard. When they entered Huairou City, the bandit leader's bearded eyes began to wander around restlessly.
Qi Qi just raised his hand, and the thin dark man and the bearded man were knocked unconscious and thrown directly into the green cloth carriage. Master Qi got off the carriage and said goodbye to Lianyi temporarily.
"See you later!"
"See you later!"
Lianyi immediately checked into the best inn in Huairou County and asked the waiter to prepare two large tables of food to fill the stomachs of the little kids. Then, she led the children, who had been brought to the mountain for some unknown reason, to report to the county government office.
There's still time before 10 o'clock! It's the end of the month! Give Feng Ling a vote! It's about to fall off the list! Thank you~
