Chapter Eighteen
———
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is set on the fire.
A dark figure shuttled through the streets of Qixia Town, looking for the official seal that was thrown away by Captain Xing. Looking closely at his figure, it turned out to be a woman.
This person is Bai Zhantang's mother, the famous female thief Bai Sanniang.
According to rumors in the world, she had been abandoned by martial arts, cut off her tendons and threw her into the prison of the Ministry of Justice. In fact, she was a spy from the Six Gates from the beginning, and was arrested only as a means of covering people's eyes and trying to facilitate her to act better.
This time she came to Qixia Town, because she wanted to release the news that the thief was in Qixia Town and attract Gongsun Wulong to come.
Recently, Gongsun Wulong has successively killed Master Zhiqing of Shaolin Temple, Master Chongxu of Wudang Sect, and Master Qi from the Hanlin Academy. He has his whereabouts and has no choice but to trap him if he wants to catch him.
His apprentice Ji Wuming is a big shot who was locked up by his son, and the new Guanzhong hero Lu Qinghou is also in the Seven Heroes Town, which is a knot of Gongsun Wulong. As long as the news is released, Gongsun Wulong is likely to come.
Therefore, she came up with the plan to steal the official seal and blame her son.
In addition, she has another purpose, which is to get her son who has retired from the world to come out again and work with her for the Six Gates.
What she didn't expect was that the county magistrate of Qixia Town was so scared that he entrusted such an important thing to a confused captain, and he lost it!
If she really lost the official seal because she lost it, her sin would be great. Therefore, when the official seal was lost, the person who was most anxious would become Bai Sanniang.
After searching for a while in the town without any clues, Bai Sanniang suddenly realized that she was being followed. She couldn't help but feel frightened, and found a secluded place and jumped to the top of the building.
The next moment, a young figure was exposed to her vision, and she jumped to the top of the building with a little under her feet.
Chen Mang looked at the woman covered with black veil in front of him and already knew her identity. He said seriously: "Bai Sanniang, I didn't expect you to escape from the Ministry of Justice."
Bai Sanniang also recognized Chen Manglai, frowned and felt embarrassed.
If it were normal, she could of course tell Chen Mang about her identity, but now she is in action and does not know whether Gongsun Wulong is monitoring him or not, and the purpose of pulling her son back has not been achieved.
To reveal the details so easily, it is obviously more harmful than beneficial.
After weighing the pros and cons, Bai Sanniang said to Chen Mang: "I know you, you are the new monster among the Six Gates. Why, do you want to fight with me? When you sent out the four famous arresters from the older generation at Six Gates, you barely took me down. Do you think you can compare to them?"
Chen Mang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Bai Sanniang's bragging, but said seriously on his face: "I am a soldier and you are a thief. If you meet, you will catch me. Let's do it first. Let's not slap in the face. After all, I used to make a living by relying on my face."
Bai Sanniang stared at Chen Mang's face and looked at him: "You can actually rely on your face to make a living."
"What's wrong with me?"
Chen Mang said proudly: "Don't underestimate me. I used to be just a person who relied on my face, but I almost starved to death later, so I joined Six Gates."
Bai Sanniang: “…”
What's there to show off this!
At the moment when Bai Sanniang was distracted, Chen Mang was already the first to attack, slapped out with a palm, and the heavy palm power surged towards Bai Sanniang!
Bai Sanniang was startled and used the light skills of stepping on Xue Xunmei to fly back and step on a tile house.
Seeing that Chen Mang was so powerful, Bai Sanniang didn't want to get entangled with him, so she turned around and ran away. Chen Mang stepped under her feet and jumped to stop her.
Bai Sanniang stretched out her hand and a force was pointed at Chen Mang's Danzhong acupoint. Chen Mang drew an arc with his right hand. The force was instantly dissolved invisible, which surprised Bai Sanniang: "Tai Chi!"
Chen Mang split his hands and made a white crane wing-striking position, saying, "I can't let you escape, otherwise it will be difficult for me to get in the business with my wife when I go back. Think about it, I used the excuse of catching people. If I go back empty-handedly, will my wife tell at a glance that I was running away and sleeping?"
"So, this time I can only let you down and go back with me."
Bai Sanniang stood on the roof and observed it carefully. There was no trace of Gongsun Wulong. She took out the token issued by the six doors with a black thread and said, "Look at this..."
Chen Mang clicked Bai Sanniang's acupoint from the air and said coldly: "I actually want to plot against me!" As he said that, he put the token in his arms, carried Bai Sanniang, and slowly walked towards Tongfu Inn.
Bai Sanniang opened her mouth, and the cold wind in the night kept pouring into her mouth. Chen Mang was carrying it forward without tears, thinking about what Guo Juxia did for food, why did even such an unreliable person dare to rush into the six doors...
After a while, Chen Mang pushed open the door and walked into the inn with a tired look on his face. He poked Bai Sanniang, who had been touched by the acupoint, and sat on the chair with relief: "The thief was caught."
The next moment, everyone from Tongfu Inn cheered and surrounded him.
Guo Furong stepped forward with admiration and said, "Wow, I caught it so quickly. Captain Chen, you are so awesome!"
Tong Xiangyu stared at Bai Sanniang with a veil and turned around twice, and said in surprise: "I'm still a female flying thief!"
Bai Zhantang walked forward and poked Bai Sanniang's arm with smugness: "You are so cute, you dare to pretend to be a thief. You should steal one for me! You stole it, why don't you stole it? Don't stick it like a pole!"
Li Dazui said excitedly: "Old Bai, take her veil and see, I have never seen a female flying thief when I am so old."
Bai Zhantang said with disgust: "What's so good about this? Did you cover her face if you didn't look at it? You must be ugly and dare not show it to others. Maybe it's a melon-like face full of pockmarks!"
Bai Zhantang said, unbuttoning the hat on Bai Sanniang's head. The next moment, a vicious look met Bai Zhantang's gaze, which scared him so much that he squatted on the ground and said in a lost voice: "Oh my God!"
Li Dazui glanced at Bai Sanniang and mocked Bai Zhantang and said, "Look at you, you are so timid, I don't think she is too scary."
Bai Zhantang nodded in cold sweat, secretly swallowed his saliva, and asked Chen Mang: "Captain Chen, how to deal with this female thief?"
Chen Mang smiled and said, "Let's tie it up first and lock it up in the backyard. I will escort it back to the capital in a few days. It took too much energy to catch the thief. I will go back to rest first..." After saying that, he looked exhausted and walked upstairs with staggering steps.
Bai Zhantang breathed a little relieved, watched Chen Mang go upstairs, tied Bai Sanniang with a complicated look on his face, then carried her up and walked towards the woodshed in the backyard.
"Sunhua's acupoint removal hand!"
Entering the woodshed, Bai Zhantang closed the door, unbuttoned Bai Sanniang's acupoints, and said anxiously: "Mom, why did you escape? Why did you run here to steal the official seal again!"
After Bai Sanniang was untied her acupoint, she took a few breaths and scolded her with anger: "Everyone said that she doesn't think she is ugly. You are unfilial son. How dare you say that your mother is a slutty face with a stingy face! Unlock the rope for me, and you will know everything until tomorrow!"
