The 26th Nightly Patrol Captures the Deceitful

  The black night was like ink, with the curved moon hanging high in the sky, not adding any light to the darkness, but instead making the quiet night even more gloomy. The wind howled through the streets, causing pedestrians to quicken their pace, wrapping their clothes tightly around them, thinking of the beautiful woman waiting at home. The flickering candles swayed slightly, like ghosts on the ancient streets, adding a hint of eerie mystery.

  In ancient times, the night was like this, without lights and wine, only a slight stir of excitement. Of course, this was only on deserted streets, but in places with brothels and in metropolises like Tokyo, it was the most lively time.

  Suddenly, two whistling sounds echoed faintly, and two figures were seen flying over the rooftops. The black-clad figure in front moved with a speed like flying snow, his footsteps light and nimble, stepping on the tiles without making any noise, quiet and stealthy. His body seemed to be there yet not there, like a piece of snow melting into thin air, indistinguishable from reality.

  The black-clad man following behind was somewhat clumsy. His movements were not bad, and he could closely follow the front black-clad man, but his movements seemed a bit awkward, every time stepping on the rubble made a loud rumbling sound, although it sounded very light, but in the ears of a martial artist, it was like thunder.

  "Second Brother, fortunately we're going to Sun Fu's house this time. If we were going to someone with high martial arts skills, you'd be caught alive before even reaching their door just because of your thunderous footsteps!" The black-clad man in front was naturally Ximen Qing. As he jumped and flew along, he turned his head to mock Wu Song behind him.

  Wu Song scratched the back of his head, grinning foolishly: "I haven't practiced qinggong in Shaolin Temple, hehe, don't worry, little brother. Next time I return to Shaolin Temple, I'll definitely work hard on my qinggong, not just focus on practicing external skills, hehe..."

  Wu Song was born with divine strength, although his internal skills were not good, but his physical strength was as fierce as a tiger. Otherwise, he would not have been able to kill a tiger alive with just one pair of iron fists. He specialized in practicing hard qigong, such as Luohan Quan and Jin Gang Yin, so naturally he rarely practiced light qigong. However, if Wu Song had a set of deadly light qigong skills, it would be even more terrifying. It would be like a tiger growing wings and becoming a flying tiger, its ferocity would increase several times!

  Ximen Qing hastily said: "Second Brother, you must cultivate your lightness skill, remember! Do you understand?"

  Seeing Ximen Qing speak so seriously, Wu Song scratched his head and said: "Don't worry, brother, I'll listen to you. If you tell me to practice, it must be useful, I will definitely practice!"

  Ximen Qing nodded and looked around at his surroundings, then smiled slyly and said, "Let's go, Erlang, we're here!"

  After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing's body suddenly dropped down from a height of three or four meters above the house and landed silently.

  Then Wu Song fell down.

  Two men stood outside the wall of Sun's mansion, looking around to make sure no one was watching before climbing over the wall. The scale of Sun's mansion was very large, even bigger than that of the West Gate Mansion. Although Sun Fu didn't have as much money as the West Gate family, because his uncle was the county magistrate, he had occupied many good plots of land and other people's houses.

  It's worth mentioning that this Sun Mansion is not only inhabited by Sun Fu's family, but also by County Magistrate Sun Hou. It's also because of this reason that Sun Fu dares to recklessly occupy land and expand his mansion.

  After entering the wall, Ximen Qing went straight forward as if he had entered his own home, and bypassed the wing room, corridor, veranda, garden, and went straight to the back wing room.

  Wu Song followed closely behind, his face full of surprise, and asked: "Younger brother, how are you so familiar with the road? It's as if you're walking in your own home!"

  Ximen Qing chuckled and said mysteriously, "I'm more familiar with the Sun Mansion than my own home. Let me tell you, the third treasure of Qinghe County is something I discovered here at the Sun Mansion. Hehe, just wait and see. Sun Fuquan had a big meal in the Warming Wind Pavilion today and must be feeling quite stuffed, so tonight's timing is perfect!"

  Wu Song was perplexed and asked: "Younger brother, I don't understand a word you're saying?"

  Ximen Qing rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "With your low IQ, it's strange that you can even understand what I'm saying!"

  Not bothering Wu Song, Ximen Qing led him quietly and they skirted several guards before finally arriving at a secluded house beside the rear garden.

  This small house is close to the garden, surrounded by colorful flowers. Although it's impossible to appreciate their beauty in the dark of night, one can still smell their fragrance. Built near the flowers, this small house has a unique charm. Moreover, its construction is exquisite, with walls adorned with painted landscapes and many colored silk scarves hanging from the door. At first glance, it's clear that this small house belongs to a woman.

  "Little brother, what are you doing in a woman's room? We should go find Sun Fu instead, I'm going to give him a good thrashing!"

  Ximen Qing snickered and pointed to the flower-adorned house in front of him, saying: "The Sun Fu-chai you're looking for is right inside!"

  "Here?" Wu Song looked puzzled and said, "Really?"

  Ximen Qing nodded and then said: "Second Brother, do you know whose house this is?"

  Wu Song said: "Sun Fu is fat inside, of course it's Sun Fu!"

  Ximen Qing glared at Wu Song with a look of helplessness, saying: "What kind of man would decorate his own room like this? One glance and you can tell it's a woman's room. You just said so yourself!"

  "Really?" Wu Song scratched his head and chuckled, saying: "Whose is that?"

  Ximen Qing suddenly smiled with ill intent: "It's the young concubine of County Magistrate Sun Hou!"

  "Is this the concubine of Sun Hou?" Wu Song was taken aback, then pointed to the side room and said: "But you say Sun Fu is inside? Ah, I understand, I understand!"

  Wu Song burst out laughing and said, "This is the third most ridiculous thing in Qinghe County! Haha, it's really ridiculous! The nephew and aunt are having an affair, but Sun Hou doesn't know about it. He's been wearing this green hat for so long, isn't that interesting?"

  After understanding, Wu Song was extremely excited, his eyes were shining. Such a good play, whoever sees it will be excited.

  "It's not stupid yet!" Seeing Wu Song understand, Ximen Qing said with a smile.

  Actually, Wu Song is not stupid at all, just a bit dull. Moreover, he has been living in the Shaolin Temple since childhood and has had little contact with society, so he appears to be so silly and doesn't know how to turn around. Ximen Qing believes that as long as Wu Song comes into contact with society and gains some experience, he will become mature and sophisticated, turning into the true avenger of Water Margin.

  Ximen Qing continued to say in detail: "This side room is the room of Sun Hou's small concubine. Sun Hou, that old scoundrel, is already sixty or seventy years old and still learns from others to marry a young concubine. After marrying her back home, he can only look at her or touch her, but he can't do anything else. Hehe... This little concubine is actually a promiscuous person. Sun Hou couldn't satisfy her, so she started seducing Sun Fu Chub. The two scoundrels hit it off and got together directly. At night, they would ah-yo-ah-yo... Second Brother, don't look at me with an expression of not understanding, it's annoying. As for what ah-yo-ah-yo means at night, I've said it before but you wouldn't understand. You just need to know that they committed adultery. I knew about this two years ago and secretly spread the word. Now in Qinghe County, who doesn't know that Sun Fu Chub and Sun Hou's little concubine are committing adultery and gave Sun Hou a big green hat? However, the person involved, Sun Fu Chub, still doesn't know. He thinks he's doing things very discreetly! Hehe... Because the common people all hate Sun Hou and Sun Fu Chub, they listed this scandal as one of Qinghe County's top three most outrageous events! Isn't it outrageous enough?"

  After finishing speaking, Ximen Qing pointed to the side room and said: "Second Brother, what do you think if we expose their illicit affair and let Sun Hou know? Wouldn't that be even more exciting?"
