The scabbard of the sword responded again, and the pearl should be here.

This is a dark alley, out of the corner of the alley is the lively market, since Zhu'er became a sword spirit, without changing the sword to completely block its breath, the nine tails can not perceive its location at all. He also tried to summon it with a trace of mana that was covered in the middle of the change, but every time it was lost in the sea, and he didn't get a response.

This city is not close to the land of the East China Sea, and if Zhu'er wants to go back to the East China Sea to find Aunt Jin, she should not stay here too much.

"Mo didn't run into some trouble"

Nine-tails secretly said something bad in his heart, and looked for a few streets without a clue, but naturally found nothing, and the scabbard has not sounded since that time.

"Fortunately, at least I know that I am in this city," Nine-Tails forced to suppress the turmoil in his heart, and comforted himself with a self-muttering voice.

Knowing that this city is here, then he will find it even if he turns it upside down!

When he was about to continue searching, he realized that Qiyun who was following him was gone.

"You're finally remembering me" A hand reached out from behind his back and poked Nine-Tails' shoulder.

Attacking from behind without warning, it was obvious that the nine-tails' stress reaction was a bit strong, and after a shudder, he instantly loosened the shoulder straps, and threw the bamboo basket out from back to front without hesitation, and smashed it to the ground.

"Mom!"

Obviously, Qiyun's reaction was not as good as his master's, and before he could react, he smashed headfirst to the ground with the bamboo basket, and the heavy bamboo basket still held him in place and couldn't move.

"What are you doing!"

"you, you don't know, you're going to scare the hell!!"

The fox was obviously still trapped in terror and could not get out, and was questioned by the arrogant initiator, so he raised his foot and kicked over, and the bamboo basket rolled out with Qiyun for a long distance.

The nine-tails' shouting voice trembled slightly, it seemed that he was indeed frightened, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse, Qiyun closed his mouth very interestingly, got up honestly by himself, touched the wound that was rubbed out, deflated his mouth, and said,

“... Why are you foxes so daring?"

Nine-Tails wanted to scold again, and even wanted to go over and make up for a few more paws, but suddenly realized that this scene seemed familiar, but at that time, there were not so many bad things happening.

Seeing this cloud drooping his head and getting up, the originally neat Tsing Yi rolled on the ground like this, became dusty, and scratched in several places, even the forehead corner was broken on the ground, leaving a large trace of abrasion, the wound was covered with dirty dust, and the fine blood stains slowly fainted out from under the dust...

"I'm sorry..."Nine-tails squatted down and pulled Qiyun over, checking the injuries on his body, "What, just now, I really didn't mean to, it hurts."

Qiyun looked at him with wide eyes.

He was originally a mountain spirit, and this little wound was nothing to him, and he could repair it by himself with a wave of his hand, but the concern in the fox's eyes made him stop his movements, and said pitifully,

"It hurts. “

He already looked like a child, and in this situation, the Nine-Tails felt more and more that he had gone too far, and carefully cleaned his wounds, and the unfamiliar healing techniques were also used.

"In the future, if you can't keep up, ask my brother to carry it, tell me in advance, don't climb in without a sound, you know?"

Nine-Tails turned his face slightly to talk to him.

Kiyun stood in the back basket, just enough to rest his chin on the edge, and the curvature of the side face of the Nine-Tails seen from this angle was very beautiful, and the moment he glanced down, it was really gentle.

"Hmm..." Qiyun was nervous for no reason, and his little hand clenched the edge of the bamboo basket and replied to him in a low voice.

"Brother bought you a string of sugar gourds to eat, don't be angry with me," Jiuwei muttered, took out a small amount of money and bought two strings of sugar gourds from the roadside vendor, one for Qiyun, and the other in his hand, habitually dangling in front of the scabbard, and then inexplicably froze his movements.

When he bought candy for Qiyun, he unconsciously bought a bunch for Zhu'er, although it couldn't be eaten, but in the past, it made him very happy to show him like this.

Qiyun bit a hawthorn and held it in his mouth, and the taste of rock candy was so sweet.

Another string of sugar gourds was handed over.

"What," Qiyun felt the Nine-Tails sighing quietly.

"This string is for another child, you can help me put it in the basket first. “

"Oh,"

bared his little fangs and bit through the sugar coating, this hawthorn is really sour.

For a month and a half, every household in the royal city was robbed.

It's also interesting to say, this thief entered the house, rummaged through the cabinets, and even entered the secret room and darkroom, didn't take anything, and after shopping around, he just opened half of the door and left.

The government tried hard, but there was no way to catch it.

On the twentieth day, half of the gates of the palace were torn down, and the panels were thrown into the mountains outside the city, like those of the other families.

"If you want to say that this thief is really interesting, after sliding the door and picking the lock, he does not steal money and treasures, but only unloads the gate of the house and throws it outside the city, if he has a grudge against everyone in the city, he wants to humiliate the past, but how can he even tear down the door panel of the broken house in the narrow alley."

"The person who did this must be a master, just looking at this method, it's really amazing,"

"Anyway, I don't take anything else, I've long seen that the courtyard door is not pleasing to the eye, and I picked this peach wood texture because my mother likes it, just right, I can replace it with mahogany for him from the beginning, it looks good!"

"I advise you not to change it yet, Zhang Yuanwai's house was dismantled the day before, and the next day it was replaced with a new one, guess what, it was unloaded that night! This one came and went, Zhang Yuanwai's house was seven or eight door panels, you see, now this Zhang Yuanwai is also treated without half of his temper, so he simply went with him, hahaha, Zhang Yuanwai is so arrogant and majestic on weekdays, so it seems, relieve anger!"

"This morning, I heard that the door of the government was also half opened, which made the official inside, angry, and it is said that no one in this city, large and small, escaped. “

"I want to know what this thief is trying to do, and he doesn't want to do anything, so why is it not enough for him to be tired. “

"More than you, I want to know whose door this thief is going to break down next..."

The topic stopped at this point, and the few people who were talking and laughing exchanged glances, and they didn't continue the second half of the sentence with understanding, and talked about other topics after handing over the lamp.

The ordinary people in the city have all turned over the Nine-Tails, so the next target is naturally only the palace.

Nine-tails took Qiyun to eat tea at the side table, peeling peanuts while listening casually to the tea chatter of diners.

He has been here every day, for more than half a month, and he only hears them talking about some market affairs, and rarely mentions the palace, and the nine tails finally couldn't help but bring some snacks to the adjacent table.

"I don't know this... Brother Tai asked what these things are doing?"

When asked about what happened after the palace wall, the latter was obviously on guard.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any bad intentions, I just came to the royal city from a small town in the south not long ago, and I want to do something... Small business, "In order to show the authenticity of what he said, the nine-tails also specially pulled out a corner of the fox fur in the back basket to show them, and after seeing that the other party's face softened a little, he pulled it back," I'm a hunter, the little sister of the family knows a little bit about needlework, no, made some worthless jackets, fellow villagers told me that these things can be sold at a better price in the royal city, I thought that I have never been to the royal city, and I also want to come to see the world, so I came, but these days every time I want to go to the market to set up a small stall to sell, I have been driven away when I go back, these guys have not been able to sell a single thing, if it goes on like this, I should go home in two days, before going out, the little sister also asked me to bring her some jewelry, so it is really impossible to see it. That's why I dared to ask my brother if I had violated any rules. ”

Before the Nine-Tails could react, this series of nonsense had already blurted out, and he had to continue making it up by touching his nose.

These fox furs were bought by Nine-Tails in Yibei City, he originally wanted to find a clean place to bury them alive, which can be regarded as his respect for his fellow clan, but after that, there were too many things, and he couldn't take care of them.

"Your fellow townsman is right, your fur is not bad, but this workmanship is not superior," one of the several diners reached out and pulled out a large piece of the fox fur that had been put away by the nine tails, as if he had some scruples, he didn't dare to open it to see, covered it with a bamboo basket, touched it with his upper hand, and stuffed it back casually, and said to the nine tails, "But in the royal city, even high-ranking officials and nobles can't wear fox furs, this thing can only be owned by the concubines of the harem." ”

"In our small town, everyone can wear it, this?" asked Nine-Tails busily.

"This is the rule of the royal city, in this royal city, you have to follow this rule, outside the royal city, the empress doesn't care, just go with him," the diner said.

"The empress? The concubine of the harem?" Seeing that the chatterbox opened, the Nine-Tails poured tea quite attentively, and then asked, "What is this saying?"

Country villager.

The diner laughed at him in his heart that he didn't even know this, when he was really a reckless man who only knew how to hunt in the woods every day, but he had a good look, and it was easy to please him, so he said a few more words,

"Except for Gao Yangjun, who founded the country, Qi Lingguo has been in power for the empress since then, and the first empress is the queen of Gao Yangjun,"

"Then, since she is the empress, why is there a concubine?" Nine-Tails didn't understand.

"Where do we know about the affairs of the royal family, anyway, since Empress Jiang succeeded to the throne," said another diner.

"That... Nine-Tails still wants to ask.

The man who answered his words waved his hand, "That's all we can say, we ordinary people can't talk about the things in the palace walls casually, trouble comes from the mouth, and it's easy to get into trouble." ”

"No, brother Tai misunderstood, I'm just sorry for myself," Nine-Tails stroked a few fox furs in the back basket, sighed, "It seems that these things can't be sold in the royal city, and I want to sell the silver money to bring some gadgets back to my sister-in-law~"

"You, let's go out outside the royal city and find a place to get these items out..."The diner who was sitting close to the Nine-Tails patted him comfortingly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a small piece of red in the burden that was scattered by the Nine-Tails, and he was stunned and asked, "Brother Tai, can I open these shipments of yours?"

This man was indeed more polite than the other two diners at the table.

“... Yes, of course you can," Nine-Tails didn't want people to touch these fox skins, but he had no choice but to agree, and said dryly, "These are some ordinary fox skins I hunted on the mountain, and they are all worthless things..."

"It's not worth much, brother, you're worth a lot of money!"

The man carefully opened the top pieces, and when the red appeared, he couldn't help but exclaim, and found his gaffe, and hurriedly re-covered it, and cautiously saw if anyone around him noticed him.

"What's wrong?" Nine-Tails was inexplicable.

"Shhh

"Brother Tai, while the city gate is not closed, you take this burden out to the city gate, and go to the city guard Qian and the general, he is my uncle, you show him this burden, he will give you the most suitable price, enough for you to bring back a carriage of jewelry for your sister-in-law. ”

The other two were just as baffled.

Nine-Tails never planned to sell them, and now they can only make a show, so they hugged Qiyun, who was still eating snacks, into the back basket, and left with a thousand thanks, and did not forget to settle the tea money for the two tables together before going downstairs.

"Why did you just let that man go to your uncle? Do you want to buy his fox skin?"

"The villager has a piece of high-quality red fox skin in his hand, and once at a family banquet, I heard my uncle mention a few words, the empress wants to make a new court dress, but she can't find a piece of satisfactory material to decorate, no, if this thing becomes ~ hehe...!" The kindness and zealous in Fang Cai's words turned into greed in the blink of an eye.

"Okay, you kid has such a good thing and don't tell us yet, eat alone, you are!"

"If I get the benefits, can I still get the two brothers less?" The man arched his hand and returned to his polite appearance, "I'll go first, go talk to my uncle, and I'll invite my brothers to drink after the deed!"

"Heh, this kid, if you are developed, where will you know us?!"

"Where is the elder brother, the younger brother says goodbye~ Please drink when you turn around, you must hahahaha~!"
