Before landing on the ground, Thief Zhi deftly flipped backwards and landed gracefully on the end of a branch of a big tree.
Zhang Han on the other side also used the reaction force to withdraw his sword, turned over and retreated, landing on the head of the same branch of the same tree.
The crown of this tree is quite lush. Even if they are standing on the same branch, the distance between them is more than ten feet, so they are not particularly close.
At the same time, the rest of the Shadow Secret Guards also caught up and formed a semicircle with Zhang Han as the core, completely blocking Thief Zhi.
At this time, Robber Zhi had no way out - behind him was the cliff, under the cliff was the East China Sea, and the tree he settled on grew on the cliff.
"The legendary king of thieves, leader of the Mohist family, and rebel."
Zhang Han straightened his chest and said in a deep voice with a smile on his face.
Thief Zhi scratched his head with a playful smile and shook his head, "Yes, I am from the Mo family. I have a bit of a rebellious personality, and I am indeed a thief."
"What, do you have a problem with me?"
"You have been on our wanted list for a long time." Zhang Han replied with a sneer.
"Oh... I know that. It's been a long time, so long that I've gotten used to it." Tao Zhi responded with a smile.
"Then do you know what I do?"
"Is this... a star chaser?" Pirate Zhi licked the yellow hair on his forehead and said proudly, "I have always been very popular with girls, and they all love to chase me."
Then Duan Zhi changed the topic and said with a look of disdain, "But for a rough guy like you, I don't think it's necessary. We'd better keep a little distance."
"Ha! I'm afraid that won't work." Zhang Han replied in a cold tone, "My duty is to arrest wanted criminals like you. It's not okay to keep a distance."
"Oops!" Pirate Zhi slapped his forehead, put on an annoyed look, and said embarrassedly, "What a coincidence, you came in such a hurry, I wasn't even mentally prepared... How about another day?"
"This... I'm afraid it's not up to you."
"But I feel that if I want to run away, you won't be able to keep me."
"Really?" Zhang Han showed a hunting smile and asked playfully.
When Thief Zhi saw this, he smiled and said with gestures:
"I've heard of you, and you seem to have a very powerful nickname, called...Grass Snake Gray Thread, tracking you for thousands of miles, like a maggot attached to a bone, following you everywhere like a shadow!"
"That's right, no prisoner I'm targeting can escape." Zhang Han smiled and nodded.
Thief Zhi crossed his arms and grinned, "But I think your nickname is too long and it's not convenient to pronounce it."
"I simplified it, refined the main points, and condensed it into three words - follower!"
"Do you think it's appropriate?"
"If it makes you feel happier when you are caught, that's okay." Zhang Hanhun responded nonchalantly.
"Oh, I told you that you can't catch me..." Thief Zhi shook his head and sighed.
Zhang Han replied confidently, "No matter how fast you are, you can't get rid of your own shadow, and I am your shadow, a shadow that is everywhere!"
"Really?" Thief Zhi asked the same rhetorical question as Zhang Han before, and then pointed to the big tree at his feet with a smile:
"I forgot to tell you that I did something to this tree before."
Click!
As Robber Zhi finished speaking, the old tree where they settled immediately made a cracking sound and began to fall towards the cliff to the east.
When the surrounding Shadow Secret Guards saw it, they hurriedly threw out the chains in their hands and circled around, working together to hold the fallen tree.
However, this tree weighed several thousand kilograms at least, and it was not something they could pull down with less than ten people. Even if they tried their best, it would only delay it for a little while.
Fortunately, this is enough.
Zhang Han raised his eyebrows and looked at Robber Zhi, "So what?"
"Tsk, tsk..." Tao Zhi smacked his lips twice, looking very disappointed, "What a coincidence... I also moved some hands and feet on the branches under our feet."
There was another click, and the branch where the two of them were resting was broken by its roots.
A branch broke much faster than an entire tree. The Shadow Guards had no time to react. Pirates Zhi and Zhang Han fell off the cliff one after another, towards the sea.
The cliff is dozens of feet high. Although there is water below, falling down will definitely lead to death.
Of course, for someone like Zhang Han, the bandit, falling to death would definitely not happen.
But they didn't dare to fall into the water.
There are large and small, open and dark rocks scattered under the cliff, and the water is full of undercurrents, and maybe even whirlpools.
Even with their martial arts skills, if they fell into the water, they would most likely either drown or be hit to death.
However, even though it was so dangerous, Zhang Han still did not let go of Thieves Zhi, adjusting his position in mid-air, speeding up and diving downwards, chasing after him.
Robber Zhi couldn't help but bared his teeth when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do.
Since he was risking his life to chase her, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany him.
Robber Zhi also began to accelerate his descent.
The two of them chased each other, heading straight to the sea below the cliff.
At this moment, the shadow guard who was restraining the broken tree on the cliff finally couldn't hold on any longer and had no choice but to loosen the chain and let the giant tree chase Zhang Han and the other two.
This seaside cliff is said to be very high, but under the acceleration of free fall, it cannot hold up for more than a few seconds, not to mention that Zhang Han's rogue feet are still using the force of the cliff to accelerate.
In the blink of an eye, Bandit Zhi was not far from the sea, and the sound of the sea water hitting the cliff could be clearly heard in his ears.
But Zhang Han was still chasing after him.
Robber Zhi has no choice but to fall any further, otherwise he will sink to the bottom of the water forever.
He quickly found a few protruding parts of the cliff, used his hands and feet to relieve his strength, stopped his fall, and clung to the cliff.
After looking at Zhang Han who was about to chase him, Thief Zhi gritted his teeth and climbed up the cliff again, facing the difficulty.
In the blink of an eye, Thief Zhi holding the Instant Flying Wheel was entangled with Zhang Han holding the Long Xiang Sword.
After a fight, although Bandit Zhi's physical strength was not as good as Zhang Han's, he was able to fight evenly with Zhang Han due to his flexibility and the special venue.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, such a close match actually means that the Thief is at a disadvantage.
For him, getting away quickly is the right way, and the more entangled you are, the more dangerous it is.
It's just that Zhang Han's strength is indeed better than him, and he is really difficult to deal with. He lives up to his reputation as a maggot attached to his bones, and he can't get rid of him at all.
Fortunately, the helpers prepared by Thieves Zhi in advance arrived as scheduled after a period of delay - the broken tree came crashing down on them.
Zhang Han is willing to risk his life to arrest people, but he will not really risk his life.
If this tree was hit, the person would probably be found underwater.
In desperation, Zhang Han had no choice but to abandon the Thief Plant for the time being and simply evade it.
Finally, when he got the chance, Bandit Zhi quickly threw Zhang Han away and swung his legs quickly on the cliff, climbing all the way up at a vertical angle.
However, a tree could not cause much hindrance to Zhang Han. Thief Zhi seized a chance, but it was only a small chance.
Zhang Han immediately chased after him.
The two reenacted their previous chase in the forest between the cliffs.
It seems that the situation of Robber Plant is not bad.
Zhang Han was one step behind him and could never catch up.
Although one step may not seem like much, as long as it can be maintained, it represents an absolute advantage.
But the problem is, Zhang Han is not alone.
Just when Robber Zhi was going up the cliff again, several chains suddenly hung down from the cliff.
Immediately afterwards, the Shadow Guards grabbed the chains and swung down, rushing towards the bandits.
The thief's foot was stretched to the left and right, and after some dodges and maneuvers, he successfully evaded all the enemies, but was kicked in the chest by Zhang Han who caught up.
The thieves who were about to climb up with great difficulty were kicked a long distance again.
The worst thing is that this kick put Thief Zhi into an absolutely disadvantageous position - he was completely surrounded by Zhang Han and the Shadow Secret Guards.
The situation deteriorated instantly, and Bandit Zhi was almost in dire straits.
But for the King of Thieves, this is still just...a small scene.
Thief Zhi was not discouraged, let alone desperate. He picked a weak point and rushed over resolutely.
After a dazzling operation, Thief Zhi successfully... let the Shadow Guard's chains bind his limbs and head, and hung him in mid-air.
Zhang Han stood on the cliff, holding the chain that bound the bandits with one hand, and showed a satisfied smile.
After Thieves Zhi struggled for a while and found that he really couldn't get away, he curled his lips helplessly, "You are really not polite at all when you say you are a follower!"
"Haha, everything has a bright side." Zhang Han replied with a smile, "At least, your name will be removed from the wanted list from now on."
"Bang!" Thief Zhi rolled his eyes and said angrily, "The almanac said today that it is not advisable to go out, and sure enough, I ran into such an unlucky thing like you!"
At this moment, a huge pure white bird flapped its wings and flew over the cliff, making a loud cry.
On the back of the giant bird, a human figure can be vaguely seen.
Zhang Han watched the giant bird fly away, his brows twitching unconsciously.
He must know that bird, it is Bai Feng's mount.
But...why would Bai Feng pass by at this time?
Is it just a coincidence?
Zhang Han didn't think much about it and arranged for someone to pull up Thief Zhi first.
The people of the Shadow Guard probably also knew how slippery the thieves' feet were. After pulling the person up, they wrapped him in chains and turned him into a silkworm chrysalis, covering him from head to toe, leaving nothing missing.
If it weren't for the fact that others were struggling so hard, you wouldn't have guessed that someone was entangled in a pile of iron chains.
Zhang Han looked at the chain ball still lying on the ground, smiled and ordered:
"You guys should take the people back first."
"Remember, he is a famous thief. You should be careful. Well... go straight to the best treatment."
After receiving the order, the Shadow Secret Guard dragged Thief Zhi away.
Zhang Han was left alone, standing on the edge of the cliff, and then he had time to think about what Bai Feng passed by just now.
Theoretically speaking, even if there is some hidden discord between Liusha and the empire, it will not affect him, the commander of the Shadow Guards who has completely surrendered to the eldest son's faction.
In other words, Bai Feng should not cheat him under any circumstances.
But Zhang Han always had a bad feeling when he thought of Bai Fenghuang passing by in a high profile.
And Zhang Han has always been willing to believe his own feelings.
Hmm...so he still had to find a way to find out about this matter.
The matter of stealing the soles cannot be delayed and must be arranged as soon as possible.
This situation can only officially begin from now on.
In fact, it was completely within Zhang Han's expectation to catch Thief Zhi today.
This was not because he had confidence in himself and his men's strength, but because he had already anticipated the Mo family's reaction.
As long as the bandit shows up, he will definitely catch him - because they show up just to be caught by him.
The name of the King of Thieves is not just blown away.
The area of Songhai is not small, and Thief Zhi is determined to hide him. At least for a short period of time, the Shadow Guards will not be able to catch him, and even trying to find some clues may not work.
In the end, in a blink of an eye, the Shadow Guard discovered the traces of Thief Zhi, and by chance, they came across an excellent opportunity to round him up.
Do you think Zhang Han believes this is just a coincidence?
It was clear that the Mo family had roughly determined that Cook Ding had been imprisoned in the Tooth-gnawing Prison, and could not find the entrance to the Tooth-gnawing Prison through conventional means, so they threw out the Thief Zhi as bait.
The fundamental purpose is to save Cook Ding.
Zhang Han could see through the Mo family's plan at a glance, but he was also happy to follow their plan.
He and the Mohist family were scheming against each other.
The Mo family knew that their plan to save people couldn't be hidden from Zhang Han, so they simply didn't hide it and openly used the entire Mo family as a bet to lure Zhang Han into the game.
As long as he wants to catch more rebels, he will definitely swallow the bait of Thieves Zhi, and then expose the location of Pao Ding, luring the Mohists to launch a formal rescue operation.
As for Zhang Han, he also knew that his intention to wait and see could not be concealed from the Mo family, so he did not intend to hide it. He generously swallowed the bait of Robber Zhi first and made it clear that he wanted to set up a trap in the place where Pao Ding was imprisoned.
The dragnet is waiting for the Mo family to take the initiative to step into it.
As long as the Mo family wants to save people, they will definitely take the initiative to get involved.
Both sides have laid out their plans for each other. As for the final result, it all depends on their respective methods.
………………
Songhai City, General Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief has successfully captured Thieves Zhi, a member of the Mohist rebels."
A member of the Shadow Guard was reporting to Fusu on the results of previous operations.
"Very good!" Fusu nodded with satisfaction, then raised his hand and said, "You can go down first. I will reward you based on your merits later."
The Shadow Guards didn't say much, bowed and immediately retreated.
After he left, Prime Minister Li Si on the side saluted Fusu with a smile on his face and bowed his hands:
"Like a shadow, the Shadow Guard takes action, and sure enough, he never returns empty-handed."
Fusu nodded with a smile, "It seems that the assassination case is under General Zhang's hands, and it won't be long before something is done."
"This..." Li Si deliberately showed hesitation when he heard this.
Fusu saw this and asked with a smile, "Why, Mr. Li has other opinions?"
"Haiyue Xiaozhu's assassination operation was carefully planned, cleverly arranged, and clearly divided into tasks. It can be seen that it was done carefully and was beyond the capabilities of ordinary young people."
"The Mo family does have this ability, and rebels from the Mo family did appear at the scene that day, but..."
"But what?" The smile on Fusu's face did not change, looking a little careless.
"However, the Mohists have always advocated non-offensive and good at defense. This kind of assassination operation seems inconsistent with their style." Li Si replied.
"Isn't offense the best defense?"
"The Mohist family is not static."
Along with two words that refuted Li Si's judgment, Zhang Han stepped in from outside the house.
