Jin Yiwei is on duty, signing Fengshen Legs at the beginning

It was late winter, the weather was cold, the moon was dark and the stars were sparse.

The two figures came to the small lake. One of them took off his clothes, got out of the lake with a net bag attached to a rope, and dived into the bottom of the lake.

Another man stood on the shore of the lake waiting with a rope.

At this time, there was a faint starlight, and with the eyesight of Zhao Baihu and Xiao Qiuyue, they could roughly see the scene within a hundred meters.

However, Huang Shaojie’s insight skill can clearly see the general scene within three hundred meters, and it is almost clearly visible within one hundred meters.

Zhao Baihu said in a low voice: “Someone actually came to get the money. So, the robbers really sank the money to the bottom of the lake.”

He didn’t quite believe Huang Shaojie’s inference before, but now he saw two people sneaking into the lake at night, and he could think of it with his toes. They must be here to get money.

Xiao Qiuyue whispered: “Why are there only two people here? There are 150 boxes of 300,000 taels of silver. How much can these two people get?”

Zhao Baihu thought: “The robbers will not take too much official silver at once, for fear of being discovered by the government. They need to deal with the official silver before they dare to use it.”

The main uses of official silver are military pay, official salary, palace expenses, local construction, disaster relief and other expenditures. The bottom of the silver is engraved with words or patterns to facilitate distinction and statistics.

However, official silver cannot be circulated directly among the people. It must be smelted into new silver ingots or broken silver before it can be circulated on the market.

If you are caught spending money directly with official banknotes, you will be beheaded.

Therefore, when the robbers robbed the 300,000 tax dollars, they had to melt it into silver bullion that circulated among the people before they could use it.

Naturally, three hundred thousand taels of silver cannot be dissolved so easily, so the robbers sank the official silver into the lake first and then slowly took it out.

Xiao Qiuyue and Huang Shaojie naturally understand this.

At this time, the man who dived into the lake climbed up from the water.

After getting dressed, the two pulled the rope and dragged out a large wooden box.

The big wooden box was caught in the net. The two men lifted the big wooden box out of the net, and then the two men carried the big wooden box and left.

“Go, follow.”

Zhao Baihu made a gesture and followed quietly.

Xiao Qiuyue and Huang Shaojie also followed Zhao Baihu.

The three of them kept a distance of about forty or fifty meters from the two robbers who were fishing for money and followed behind.

From the pace of these two robbers, it can be judged that their cultivation level is not very high, probably below the fifth level of acquired life.

With the Qinggong cultivation of Zhao Baihu and the others, it would be easy to follow these two acquired low-level warriors, and they would not let the two robbers notice at all.

However, Zhao Baihu and the others didn’t know that at this time, there was another dark figure secretly dormant in the dense forest ahead, holding his breath and watching the movements around the two robbers.

When he discovered that there were several figures quietly following behind the two robbers carrying wooden boxes, the eyes of the dormant black figure revealed a cold look.

When the two robbers, who took turns carrying the big wooden box, were less than fifty meters away, the lurking black figure picked up two small dead branches from the ground and waved them up.

Two dead branches shot out and passed through the throats of the two robbers.

The two robbers slowly fell down without even making a sound.

The black shadow then flew away to the left, disappearing like a ghost.

“No, something happened!”

When Zhao Baihu saw the two robbers suddenly and silently falling down, he knew something was wrong and flew forward.

Xiao Qiuyue also followed closely and jumped away.

Only Huang Shaojie shot toward the jungle on the left and chased after him.

Just now, the black shadow secretly released dead branches to kill the two robbers, and then shot to the left. Naturally, Huang Shaojie’s insight skills could not escape him.

“Damn it! Someone was lurking here just now. Kill these two people and silence them!”

Zhao Baihu jumped to the bodies of the two robbers, looked around, and cursed in a low voice.

Although Zhao Baihu was a second-grade grandmaster, he couldn’t find which direction the figure escaped in the dense forest at night.

“It seems that the robbers sent these two people to get money tonight just to test whether we have set up an ambush by the lake. They are indeed cunning!”

Xiao Qiuyue couldn’t help but frown, and tightened her grip on the embroidered spring knife at her waist.

Originally, we only had to track the two robbers to their lair tonight, and then tomorrow we could directly mobilize troops to capture and suppress them.

Unexpectedly, the robbers actually had a back-up plan and silenced these two people.

Now that the robbers have tested Jinyiwei and discovered Chen Yin in Xiaohu, they will definitely not come to Xiaohu to get official silver in the future. In this way, it will be even more difficult to catch this group of robbers.

“This killer’s martial arts skills are very high. I’m afraid if it wasn’t for me, and it’s night in the wilderness, we wouldn’t be able to hunt him down.”

Zhao Baihu sighed

, with a look of chagrin!

He had just checked the throats of the two robbers, and there were still some dead branches left. This showed that the killer used dead branches to kill the two men.

Being able to use dead branches as hidden weapons and easily shoot through the throats of two Houtian realm warriors shows that this person has profound internal skills.

Moreover, he escaped silently, which shows that this dormant killer has high Qinggong.

“Hey, where has Huang Shaojie gone?”

Xiao Qiuyue suddenly felt that someone was missing from her side.

Her bright eyes searched around in the dark night, but she did not find Huang Shaojie.

“Where has this kid gone?”

Zhao Baihu also looked surprised. He was a second-grade grandmaster, and he didn’t notice when a small flag under his command slipped away.

“Did Huang Shaojie go after the killer?”

Xiao Qiuyue guessed.

Zhao Baihu curled his lips and shook his head: “Even I didn’t notice which direction the killer escaped, and he couldn’t find it. Now I’m not worried that he can’t track the killer, but I’m worried that he will be killed by the killer.”

Xiao Qiuyue couldn’t help but feel worried after hearing this.

Although she also knew that Huang Shaojie’s martial arts was superior to hers, the killer’s martial arts just now was extremely high. Even Zhao Baihu said that he might not be below him.

Zhao Baihu is a second-grade grandmaster. If the killer really reaches the second-grade grandmaster, Huang Shaojie will definitely die if he encounters this killer.

“Sir, let’s look around to see if we can find the killer or if Huang Shaojie is in danger.” Xiao Qiuyue said to Zhao Baihu.

Zhao Baihu shook his head and said: “It’s so late at night in this barren mountain. Where can we find it? Let’s go, let’s go back with this box first. I hope this kid will survive!”

After that, Zhao Baihu put the big wooden box containing two thousand taels of silver under his arm and flew forward as if it was nothing.

Xiao Qiuyue also followed behind.

…

In the dark night, Huang Shaojie used the Wind God Kick Kung Fu and quietly followed the black shadow.

In order not to be discovered, Huang Shaojie kept a hundred meters away from the black shadow.

The black shadow was also very careful.

He first made a large circle around the mountains to make sure that no one was following him, then turned back and flew towards Suzhou City.

But he never expected that there would always be a tail following him more than a hundred meters away, tracking him silently.
