However, no one knew that there were two pairs of eyes quietly observing them in the forest. It was a middle-aged woman and an old man that couldn't be any older. Even though the middle-aged woman was already forty years old, her body was still extremely slim, and her face still retained its charm. She was Qiong Er's master, Yue Yuchun. Standing beside her was an old tree root that looked like a peony flower. However, this old tree root was definitely not an ordinary tree root, he would stand in the forest without moving, blending perfectly with the trees beside him without any movement, causing the wind to rise, swaying the branches unsteadily, and his people to sway along with him, keeping up with the same rhythm. If Long Feiyu were to see him, he would definitely be amazed, this old man's martial arts had reached the unity-stage!

This was a realm that even he himself was unable to reach!

The old man suddenly opened his mouth, sounding like an ancient tree that had been blown by the wind. "Is he that person?"

Yue Yuchun nodded: "That's him!"

The old man's eyes suddenly opened. "You do have some skill indeed!"

Yue Yuchun said respectfully: "Master Granduncle saw the depth of his martial arts?"

The old man said: "He never made a move. I can't see the depth of his skills, but it's already very valuable for him to make these villagers show him such respect! This child's conduct is different from the others. Interesting! It looks like your disciple has already grasped the situation, there is no need for an old fellow like me to take action! "

Yue Yuchun slowly shook his head, "Not necessarily!"

The old man was slightly baffled. "Why?" It seems like they are quite close, I don't believe that he can avoid the schemes of the people around him! "

Yue Yuchun sighed, "They already have the relationship of husband and wife!"

The old man nodded. "I can see it too. Since there's a couple, it's even more impossible for him to hide. He would never have thought that the people around him would kill him!"

Yue Yuchun sighed: "I believe that too, but I'm worried that Qiong Er won't be able to do it. When they were on the shore, I saw her eyes, and it seems that she wasn't willing to do it!"

The old man muttered to himself, "The relationship between a man and a woman can be unpredictable. That is also possible!"

Yue Yuchun said slowly: "I still have a bigger worry!"

The old man stared at her. "What?"

Yue Yuchun slowly said: "I'm worried that this child already knows of Qiong Er's plans, and the plan she arranged for us is in his hands!"

The old man was slightly surprised. "Why?"

Yue Yuchun laughed bitterly: "Although Qiong Er's plan is good, there are still too many loopholes, if it were anyone else, they might be able to hide it from me, but this person is extremely clever, it is impossible for him to hide it from me. Think about it, he could actually teleport across the Bewildering Forest, and used a curve guiding method, and it was even a temporary method.

The old man frowned: "How can he leave the Bewildering Forest? Curved directions? This method was simply wishful thinking, and it was truly the only way, his intelligence was truly astonishing, Qiong Er's plan was definitely not able to hide from him! So powerful! It's really great, even this old one is impressed to the point of prostrating himself in front of him! "

Yue Yuchun said: "Master Granduncle, this person's martial arts are powerful and smart, but Qiong Er is not stupid, her Master Granduncle's martial arts are even stronger, where does he come from?"

The old man slowly said, "I'm not talking about his martial arts, nor am I talking about his intelligence. I'm talking about his deep scheming and his unparalleled strength!"

Yue Yuchun instantly realized something, "Yes, he clearly already saw through Qiong Er's clever plan, but to still be so close to her without revealing the slightest bit of weakness, it is truly admirable! To be able to remain so calm, there must be a plot! Not good, he was definitely waiting for Qiong Er to make a move again. When Qiong Er made his move again, he was definitely prepared for it. I have to inform her that I can't let her do it anymore! "

The old man said indifferently: "If he wanted to kill Qiong Er, wouldn't he have done so earlier? The reason he did this, was only to investigate the person behind Qiong Er! We might as well do what we can! "

Yue Yuchun bowed: "Master Granduncle has seen the best in the world, a plan must be foolproof!"

The old man smiled slightly. "The older a person is, the lazier he becomes. Why should he strike if he can't?" Furthermore, I am unable to see the depth of this person's martial arts. Wouldn't it be a joke for Bai Yue and the others if he were to fail in his attempt after reaching the age of a hundred? "

They had calculated that Long Feiyu's intention was only to investigate the assassination attempt on the person behind Qiong Er, but they never thought that he was just giving her a way out, to prevent her from feeling embarrassed. He did not have any intentions of scheming against her, because he did not even care about the assassination attempts of others, and the only people who hated him were the remnants of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Yue Yuchun and the old man might really be extremely shrewd, but they never thought that this man's scheme that they would so much like to admire from the bottom of their hearts would actually be revealed to them.

They couldn't think of this because they themselves didn't have feelings. They definitely wouldn't have thought that someone would fall into a dilemma because of their feelings, and because of their feelings, they would turn a blind eye to the conspiracy he grasped.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, a dozen horses rushed over from the lakeside, immediately rider's red uniform, cuffs and collar black, a wide cloth belt around their waist tightly, all of them looked energetic, with an imposing manner. They were just the first to arrive, and there were more than a hundred people behind them. The long knife s in their hands were all black, and their clothes were all black.

As soon as these people arrived, they immediately lined up on the beach with solemn expressions on their faces.

Long Feiyu frowned, he turned his body slightly, and hid behind the tree, Qiong Er followed closely behind.

He knew the uniforms of these people, and he also knew their identities. fast catcher! What were they going to do? These people were all different from the Ling Family and the water pirate. They represented the ruling class of this world, and although he had once caused a ruckus in the County Yamen and cut off the Yizhou Prefecture's ears, the imperial power here still possessed a unique dignity. He still did not know much about the situation of this world, and he did not have much power that he could use to help him, so just him alone was far from enough to deal with them. He did not plan to duel with the imperial power at this time. Being enemies with these official fast catcher s seemed to be a challenge to the imperial power, but so what if they were enemies? They were already here, Long Feiyu definitely did not believe that they were here to hold a celebration feast for him!

Since ancient times, there had always been officials standing behind the Ling Family and the bandits. Maybe those water pirate also had some benefits to share with the officials, which was why they were able to live on this land for so long. Now, he had cut off their path of wealth. To another extent, it was a declaration of their incompetence. It would be strange if they didn't hate him.

The dozen or so rider s did not dismount, but one of them raised the blade in his hand and shouted loudly, "Everyone, listen:" County Yamen has received the news. With the great Jiang Yang bandits committing crimes here and killing the local merchants and Ling Family, all villagers must immediately cooperate with the officials and soldiers to capture him.

The villagers came out of their houses one by one, and when they saw that there were so many soldiers surrounding them, they could not help but turn pale. Long Feiyu turned to look at him, and Qiong Er was also looking at him, with worry hidden in his eyes. Long Feiyu did not make a sound, because he wanted to see whether these villagers would hand him over due to fear of the authorities' prestige.

The villagers all stood in front of their own huts, but no one spoke. No one stepped forward either, each one of them had a stiff expression on their face. This was probably their usual expression in front of the authorities!

The middle-aged man said loudly: "This constable head knows very well that the bandit is still in the tree. Hurry up and hand it over, otherwise, all of you in the village will defend him! "

When he said that, everyone's expression changed, but no one said a word, there were still two who came out, Zhou Gang and Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin went to the middle-aged man and respectfully said: "Reporting to constable head, the people from Ling Family were killed by a martial artist, but this hero has already left!"

The constable head glared at him coldly. "You should know that the criminals and the hidden criminals are to be punished together!"

Zhou Lin remained calm and collected: "Master has said it twice, this subject has long known, he has indeed left! If sire does not believe me, you can ask the villagers! "

Zhou Gang took a step forward: Master, he has already left!

The constable head stared at him: "Did you also hear what this constable head said just now?"

Zhou Gang nodded his head: "If I am deceiving Master, I am willing to receive the punishment on his behalf!" His words were resolute and decisive!

constable head slowly nodded his head, "Alright! "Good!" Men, take these two down! "

Immediately four people rushed out from behind, with two blades on Zhou Gang's and Zhou Lin's heads, the other two extended their hands, with the rope already in their palms.

Zhou Lin shouted loudly, "Master, what crime has this lowly one committed? Why do you want to catch me? "

The two fast catcher s completely ignored him and turned their hands over. They tied up their arms behind them to look sturdy. After they were done, they gently piled up and the two of them fell in front of constable head's horse. "Lord …"

constable head coldly said: "Why are you wronged? This constable head has said it three times, and you all have said it yourselves. Whoever conceals the whereabouts of the criminal shall be punished together with the criminal, if you do not report it, it is already a serious crime. This constable head will ask you one thing, since that man has already left, why is his horse still under the tree? The people of Ling Family did not have any sentries at every intersection. If he were to leave, then where would he leave from? Could it be that you are flying in the sky? "

Zhou Lin had nothing to say, so he shouted loudly: "Master, this subject has something to say!"

constable head shouted, "Speak!"

Zhou Gang said loudly: "The people of Ling Family commit evil deeds and the people of water pirate do evil deeds and the people of water pirate do evil deeds. That hero is truly a hero, why can't the lords show mercy? If Master can be merciful today, you are the great benefactor to the people of Zhou Family! Zhou Gang will kowtow to Master here! " His knees bent and he knelt on the ground, his forehead hitting the ground, but because his hands were tied up and he fell head first, he couldn't get back up. Although it couldn't be considered a kowtow in a strict sense, it was still no different from kowtowing three times.

The moment he knelt down, all the villagers kneeled down and shouted, "Sire, please be merciful!"

Long Feiyuwei was slightly moved. Today, he saw them kneel down twice, the first time to thank him, and the second time to beg the authorities. It was also for him that he was touched the first time, but the second time it made him feel uncomfortable!
