Chapter 15: The Night Thief of Washington (Part II)

After Hua Jiu bought the night clothes and returned to the inn, Er Niu and Yu Cheng'an didn't know what they were chatting about, and their laughter could be heard from afar.

"Coming back?" Seeing Hua Jiu at the door, Yucheng An said hello.

At this time, he saw the white tiger who had just woken up lying at Yucheng'an's feet, and he asked while touching its head, "Is this tiger yours?" ”

Hua Jiu snorted, thinking to himself, he just went out for a while, how could Xiaobai get along with him, this person is really not simple, I don't know what kind of drug Xiaobai has been poured in.

But at this moment, she remembered what was going on, so she asked him, "Whose territory is Washington?" ”

"Hua Yu, General Hua's mansion." Yucheng replied.

Then, he told her about the terrain and characters of the entire Western Regions, and Hua Jiu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Compared with the Central Plains, the Western Regions is a small country, although there are not as many people as the Central Plains, but there is a lot of gold, so the people in the Western Regions are basically very rich.

The Western Regions are divided into four cities, southeast, northwest and northwest, which are guarded by the east city lord Qi Hai, the south city lord Yue Feng, the west city lord Gu Biqiu and the north city lord Baili Shengxuan, and the strength of each city should not be underestimated.

And Hua Jiu's current location is the main city of the Western Regions, which can lead directly to the imperial palace. The main city is divided into four sections, the scale is very large, if you want to reach the palace, you must first pass through Huafu, Qifu, Yuefu and Yangfu. These four mansions are inhabited by generals who have made military achievements.

Speaking of Washington, it has been established for less than three years. A few years ago, the barbarians attacked the border of the Western Regions in an attempt to occupy a small piece of land, and when the emperor asked Hua Yu to lead his troops to repel it, he completed the task in only two months. It is conceivable that the strength of this person cannot be underestimated, and then the emperor named him a general and became a celebrity around the Son of Heaven. In addition to a token that can mobilize 100,000 soldiers, his mansion now has 2,000 soldiers and horses.

"So, Washington is a general's mansion, so why is there a treasury?" Hua Jiu looked puzzled, how could the dignified General's Mansion have a treasury, could it be that the emperor of the Western Regions rewarded him so generously?

"It is rumored that he secretly led people to dig up a treasure map from the Central Plains." Tamaki explained.

"Is there a treasure map?" Hua Jiu was surprised.

"You're from the Central Plains, don't you know this?" Yucheng An looked at her suspiciously.

She stuck out her tongue, "Not long after I first entered the rivers and lakes, I only knew the three treasures of the rivers and lakes, what treasure maps, the master didn't mention it." ”

Yucheng An said again: "I heard that the Emperor of the Central Plains has a total of three treasure maps. ”

Three? Hua Jiu raised three fingers and looked at Yu Cheng'an, his eyes wide open.

She decided that she must ask her master about it when she went back.

"In addition to the three treasures of the rivers and lakes that everyone covets, the three treasure maps are also very attractive, if the three treasures are a symbol of power, then the treasure map is wealth." Yucheng An said again.

Hearing this, Hua Jiu felt that he was going to find out tonight no matter what, if it was really as he said, he could get the treasure map, then Hua Yu was also a very powerful character.

The more dangerous the place, it is very exciting, Xu is the apprentice of Duan Jinkong, who has been a thief for a long time, Hua Jiu felt that his whole body was boiling at this time, could this be the instinct of a thief?

When you decide to be a thief on your first day, you need to have a curiosity and an adventurous spirit, and it's clear that she's got both.

For her who can even come out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls alive, what is a mere general's mansion?

After Hua Jiu put on a night suit, he turned his head and patted his chest at Yucheng An and Erniu and said, "Wait for me to steal a few gold bars and come out to show you." ”

[Be careful.] The second girl looked worried.

"If you can't steal, don't be strong." Amused by her movements, Yucheng An burst out laughing.

Hua Jiu grimaced at him, and then he turned over and jumped from the window, his skills were very agile, and he saw a black shadow swish and disappeared, and the night clothes gradually melted into the night, until they gradually disappeared.

When I was already a child, I couldn't see half a figure on a street, and every house was closed, only the lantern at the door was still on, and it was red.

Hua Jiu quickly crossed the bridge and came to the gate of Washington, and except for the two stone lions, he saw a brown-red gate closed. The walls around are very high, and if you jump on it directly, I'm afraid there will be movement, after all, I don't know what is over there, and whether there will be a mechanism.

Thinking like this, Hua Jiu took out a rope from his waist, put a hook on one end, and gently threw it against the wall, and then fastened it tightly. However, with a little effort, he slowly walked up the wall with the rope.

In a moment, she reached the top of the wall, hooked her hands upwards, and slowly poked her head out to survey the terrain inside.

If you go straight through the gate, about 200 steps away, you can see a low and wide building, and there is a small field in front of it, surrounded by all kinds of weapons and some stone locks and stone piers, which should be the place where the general practiced martial arts. Passing through here, there is a pond at the back, cutting Washington into two distinct areas, and seeing the garden courtyard looming behind a few trees, it should be the back house, a wooden arch bridge collapses on the pond, becoming the only way to the backyard.

The back house is not very large, except for a main house and a few courtyards, there is only a firewood house left. In the meantime, I saw a few uniformed soldiers walking back and forth outside the back house.

Hua Jiu didn't find out that there was a vault, but since he came, it was better to go to the back house to investigate. Then she slid gently down the wall, and her small body hid behind the building.

A few soldiers must be separated first, she thought.

After pondering for a while, she picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at a nearby tree. After hearing the movement, several soldiers looked at each other and hurried towards this side.

Taking advantage of this time, Hua Jiu had already sneaked into the back house.

The back house is quiet and dark. She first came to the main house, where Hua Yu was sleeping, and next to the main house were several empty rooms, and there was nothing in them.

After passing through the main house, she came to the courtyard again, there are a lot of rockeries in all directions, and it is estimated that the people sleeping here should be the soldiers and family members in the house, and the snoring is very loud.

Gradually, I walked to the back door, and I didn't find a vault all the way, could it be that I was deceived by Yucheng'an? Hua Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart at this time, and it was not a taste.

Could it be that you didn't check it carefully enough? She thought again. But I searched everywhere I could, and I didn't find anything at all.

Thinking that it was almost time, she jumped up on a tree, jumped on the wall, and after tiptoeing, found a place to stay, jumped out, and left Washington.

On the way back, she suddenly thought of a strict question. Didn't Yucheng An say that there were two thousand soldiers and horses in Washington, why did she find that after some investigation just now, she found that there were only a few hundred people in his mansion at most, and where did more than a thousand people go?
