After Xie Qingrong, Xuanyuan Chen, and Qi Yun finished their meal, they left the restaurant and decided to stroll around the capital of Chu Country.
Xuanyuan Chen brought Xie Qingrong to the clothing store, intending to make some clothes for Xie Qingrong. After all, at that time, Gongsun Heng's defense of the city could not be worn as he wished, and would need to be well-dressed.
Qi Yun, on the other hand, was wandering around the capital alone.
When Xuanyuan Chen brought Xie Qingrong out of the clothing store, he saw a group of people gathered in front of him, and did not know what had happened.
Xie Qingrong frowned, and pulled Xuanyuan Chen along as he walked past the surrounding people. He seemed to be completely uninterested in what was happening.
Xuanyuan Chen looked at his hand that was being held by Xie Qingrong, and the expression in his eyes was rather doting and gentle. Even though he wasn't curious what exactly happened, his gaze still shot towards the crowd of people, seeming to see a very familiar figure.
Focusing down, it was Qi Yun!
Xuanyuan Chen pulled with force, stopping Xie Qingrong in his tracks. He pulled Xie Qingrong into his embrace and said softly: "Qi Yun has been surrounded, let's act accordingly."
Xie Qingrong was currently somewhat astonished at Xuanyuan Chen's actions, as she heard Xuanyuan Chen whispering in his ear. Looking towards the crowd, he saw a faintly discernible figure.
This figure was indeed similar to Qi Yun's figure, and it was also exactly the same as the clothes Qi Yun was wearing today.
Just why was Qi Yun surrounded by a crowd?
With Qi Yun's strength, how could he not find a chance to escape?
Then what exactly had happened, to be able to trap Qi Yun within?
As Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen approached the crowd, Xie Qingrong patted the shoulders of one of the old men and smiled faintly, his eyes carrying a bit of doubt and puzzlement that was just right.
Grandfather, do you know what happened here? Why are all of them gathered here? "
His grandfather shook his head and said, "Just now, that blue clothed young master's purse was secretly stolen by a kind passerby to help him catch this thief. However, this thief said that he didn't steal any money, so he is the one who helped him catch the thief."
"From the start until now, the two have been in a stalemate for a long time. When the officials arrived, no one could tell who was the real thief. However, this young master in white said he had a way to prove that he wasn't a thief. "
That was why they were surrounded by people. They wanted to see how the man in white proved that he wasn't a thief.
The one who was framed as a thief was precisely Qi Yun. Seeing the malicious smile on Qi Yun's face, Xie Qingrong and Xuanyuan Chen immediately understood what was going on in Qi Yun's mind.
But he pitied the thief. He had to frame Qi Yun, no matter who he was framing.
The dignified Yue Country Regent King could actually be framed by a small thief.
Qi Yun was surrounded within the crowd, while the thief at the side was half-squatting on the ground. It was obvious that he was exhausted from being chased just now, so he squatted on the ground to recover his strength, while the blue clothed man stared at the two of them, holding the money bag that they had chased back.
The blue clothed young master cupped his fists and politely cupped his hands towards Qi Yun, then said with a smile, "Since this young master has a way to prove your innocence, why don't you tell this method to everyone so that you can return this young master's innocence."
One of them was dressed in white, the other had shifty eyebrows and sharp eyes. The eyes of the commoners were bright and clear, naturally, they had a good impression of the handsome Qi Yun.
It's just that what if this Qi Yun did all sorts of things and still pretended to be a noble and elegant young master, framing someone who was half squatting, wouldn't that be a little inappropriate?
Qi Yun waved his fan, laughed lightly, and opened the thin lip: "Many thanks to young master for your trust in this one. "Since this young master says that I'm a thief, I have no way to refute him. Why don't we do a game instead?"
The shifty thief immediately replied: "What game?"
Qi Yun said indifferently: "Do you see that shop in front? The two of us will set out from here at the same time. Whoever gets to that store first wins. "What do you think?"
The thief rolled his eyes, obviously considering whether Qi Yun's words were trustworthy or not.
After thinking for a while, the thief said, "I agree to your game. But in order to prevent you from sneaking away, there must be someone guarding the shop over there. "
The moment the thief's voice faded, the crowd volunteered themselves and headed towards the store to guard it. They all thought this game was very interesting and wanted to know who the thief was.
Xie Qingrong, who was standing outside the crowd, unexpectedly met Qi Yun's gaze. Qi Yun revealed a smile that said he was victorious, and shook his head helplessly.
It was not wrong for this thief to lose to Qi Yun.
The two of them immediately ran from the starting point, the thief ran first, and Qi Yun then began to run slowly, seeing that the thief was already halfway to the starting point, Qi Yun immediately used his movement technique and lightly tapped his foot on the ground, his entire person already reaching the side of the shop.
The thief was dumbstruck, but immediately understood Qi Yun's purpose, his eyes turned, finding a weak hole, and wanted to escape.
Seeing the thief's shrewd eyes, Qi Yun guessed that the thief was trying to escape. He immediately rushed forward and grabbed the thief's shoulders, then folded his arms behind him and pressed one leg on the thief's knee.
"Why aren't you continuing to run? "Huh?" Qi Yun laughed.
Everyone saw that the thief had been caught, and they were stunned. The old man from before asked in doubt, "Young master, what are you doing?"
Qi Yun tapped on the thief's back, causing him to immediately stiffen and stop moving. Qi Yun then smiled and explained his previous intention.
"Everyone, just now when I saw this young master secretly going to that young master's purse, I caught the thief and gave the purse back to that young master. Who knew that this thief would actually bite back. "I purposely used the game to make this thief show his true colors."
"As expected, after winning the game, this thief saw that things were not going well and wanted to run away. If not, he would really run away. "If a thief can't outrun a thief, then how did this thief catch this thief with Qing Gong as well?"
Once Qi Yun explained it to them, everyone present understood.
The blue-clothed man who had been robbed just now cupped his hands towards Qi Yun and expressed his gratitude, "I didn't expect that not only does Young Master have a dignified appearance and a chivalrous heart, you're also very resourceful and shrewd."
Then, he said to the people around him, "Fellow villagers, let's escort this thief who's calling for arrest to the county magistrate court."
As soon as his voice fell, two youths dressed in forced clothing walked towards the county magistrate with a group of bandits in their hands.
