Chapter 30: The Pearl-Stealer

"Rain Hitomi, what's the matter?"

The attendant outside hurriedly came in to report and said, "Your Majesty, there are assassins in the palace!"

"Assassin, have you caught it?"

"General Ji is leading people to investigate, and his subordinates are coming to see His Majesty's safety. ”

"I'm fine, I'm going to catch it alive!"

"General Ji will not disgrace his life. ”

However, after waiting all night, Ji Hao did not catch the assassin, and he did not see anyone alive or dead. Could it be someone from the Muyan family? Could it be that there is such a master in his mansion who can come and go in the palace of the Northern Regions at will.

"Ji Hao, how do you explain?"

The man who knelt down on his highness clenched his fists and replied, "The last general thinks that this person is not an assassin. ”

"Oh?"

"There was no one in the palace who was injured, but one thing was missing. ”

"What's missing? Is it a jade seal?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's a rhino bead. ”

It is the treasure of the royal family of the Northern Regions, this bead is useless, but the tentacles are warm, and it can be warmed up in the palm of the hand for a while, and Xiao Qiyu will put it in the hall after autumn, and the whole hall will be as bright and warm as a spring day. It is no secret that everyone in the palace knows that the rhino beads are sealed in the treasury of the Qingjingtang.

"It's just a thief, and if it's gone, it's gone. ”

"Your Majesty, the rhino bead is my treasure of snow!"

"It's just a bead that will heat up, what's so good to treasure, what's more," Xiao Qiyu blinked and said, "It's not true at all that is sealed in the treasury of Qingjing Hall, he can take it if he wants to." ”

"No, not really?"

"As long as it's my Xiao Qiyu's things, no matter how much I don't like them, no matter how rare they are, I won't let others get them easily. ”

Mu Yanzhen, who was standing on the side, shook his head when he heard this, but he was facing the afterglow of the man.

"Let Luo Yinhuan enter the palace immediately, and then send heavy troops to guard the Qingjing Hall, the emperor must catch this thief!"

The rhino bead in Qingjingtang was stolen, Luo Yinhuan felt ridiculous, since he could come and go to the palace freely, why didn't he steal something more useful and worthwhile? What's even more strange is that Xiao Qiyu not only announced that she had entered the palace this time, but also announced Yue Qianlong, saying that she was good at it, and she wanted her to catch the thief together to atone for her crimes.

"How can there be such a stupid thief in the world?"

"Isn't it stupid to steal rhino beads?"

Yue Qianlong sat on the roof and snorted coldly, "Since there is a first time for you to be on guard, he will not come a second time." ”

"Since he stole a fake one for us to play with the first time, he will definitely come to shame the second time. ”

"You are the master, I can't talk about you. ”

They waited for more than an hour, and when the ugly hour was about to end, they heard movement, not just movement but real sound. This thief was too blatant, he was coming out of the Qingjing Hall at the moment, and he stood alone in the middle of the ambush without hiding or panicking.

"Chitaki, this guy knows we've set a trap. ”

"What a stupid thief. ”

"Let's not make a move yet, let's see what this thief has to do. ”

Dressed in black and wearing a half-mask on his face, he held a sword in one hand, surrounded by more than thirty janissaries. These people are all from martial arts families, and they are also first-class masters in the Northern Regions, and it is already difficult to deal with two of them. However, this person actually cut off the hands of six people in an instant, and the viciousness and sharpness of his sword path were really something that Luo and Yue had never seen in their lives.

"What kind of move is this?"

"You don't even know about Master Luo, how can I know?"

"Chitaki, are you sure you can win him?"

Yue Qianlong frowned and asked rhetorically, "How sure is Childe?"

"Nope. ”

"Heh......" Yue Qianlong supported his chin with his hand and pointed out, "There are eleven of the thirty-five people left, oh, now it's nine, I really want to see what this person looks like." ”

"Chitaki, wait!"

The more Qianlong spoke, and the more he spoke, he was already standing in front of the man in black.

"Why did you steal the rhino beads?"

The man in black put down his sword and hesitated, "Woman?"

"Yes, I'm a woman, what's wrong, are you afraid of women?"

"Let's go. ”

How dare you look down on her? Yue Qianlong pulled out the long sword of the janissary beside her and faced it directly, she was not used to this weapon in the Northern Regions Palace, and a misaligned sword blade passed by the side face of the man in black, revealing the gap in her back. But the man in black didn't seize this opportunity to attack, he hesitated for a second, and his gray-black eyes suddenly shrank as he stared at his opponent, until the two of them separated, still looking at the woman in place.

"Are you distracted?"

"Where did you learn martial arts?"

"What, now you want to beg for mercy?"

The man in black said in a dark voice, "I don't want to fight a woman." ”

"But I want to fight you. ”

Yue Qianlong raised her momentum and pointed at him, and under the struggle, she couldn't resist the strength of the man in black, and she let the long sword slide out for a while. Seeing this, she immediately pulled out the whip on her waist, although the whip entangled the blade of the man in black, it could not stop his sword momentum at all, and the man in black borrowed this strength, only letting the whip stir the blade and pass by Yue Qianlong.

"Why don't you use all your strength, you're underestimating me?" she was really angry.

Hearing this, the black-clothed man didn't plan to spend any longer, and raised his blade to break through the wind and approach Yue Qianlong's eyes. Yue Qianlong resisted and the whip moved, and the entire horse whip was wrapped around the left arm by the man in black, and the blade fell to the ground at the moment before the sword approached, and when he returned to his senses, the man in black had already grabbed Yue Qianlong's neck and pressed him to the ground.

"You woman looking for death!"

The man in black increased his strength, but it was not enough to suffocate, Yue Qianlong deeply felt that the eyes behind the mask were looking at her carefully, this strange feeling made her shake, and she forgot to resist. This person, and such a feeling, actually made Yue Qianlong feel familiar.

"You'd better let it go. ”

The strength of the throat was loosened, and when he regained consciousness, the man had already stood up, Yue Qianlong looked around, and there were many heavy soldiers around him, but the man in black disappeared like the wind without a trace, only the sharp eyes were engraved in Yue Qianlong's heart, so that she couldn't forget it.

"How are you?"

"It's alright, where's the rhino bead? Let's go in and have a look. ”

"No need. ”

"But just now he came out of it. ”

Luo Yinhuan pushed her forehead, "Do you think we will really put the rhino beads in it and wait for him to grab them? ”

"What do you mean?"

"Your Majesty wants to arrest him alive, and with this man's skill, since he can enter and leave the palace silently, it will be difficult for us to capture him alive here, so it is better to let him take us with him. ”

"You put something on him, those can track his whereabouts?" No wonder Luo Yinhuan was so calm when the man in black slaughtered these guards just now.

"It's just a little trick, let's go to Huiyu Palace first. ”

This is a side hall that is very far away from the Qingjing Hall, and there is a thing stored in a shrine in the inner hall, which is a bead scattered with faint red.

"Is this the rhino bead?"

"Not bad. ”

Yue Qianlong was just about to take it when he was knocked hard by Luo Yinhuan, "This is a royal thing, can you touch it?"

"If he catches a thief one day, the emperor will give you a reward. Xiao Qiyu's voice came from behind, and he was coming with the Yinqi guards beside him, "But if you can't catch it, the emperor will punish you for getting married on the same day, how about it?"

"I have received this errand, and I will bring him to you. ”

"Yes, the Emperor is waiting to be your witness. ”

Yue Qianlong pulled Luo Yinhuan, "We'll go find it now." ”

Xiao Qiyu smiled proudly, this woman is interesting, and Luo Yinhuan's vision is not too bad. However, in the early morning, news came out in the palace that the rhino beads that were originally hidden in the Huiyu Palace were missing.

Yue Qianlong couldn't laugh when he heard it, "It seems that we didn't play with the thief last night, but by this thief." He knew it was a trap but jumped into it in order to find out where the rhino beads were really hiding. Now that the rhino beads are gone, he has succeeded. ”

"You mean you're waiting for Your Majesty to marry us?"

"Where do you think you can track him down?

"When the time comes, Ayin will naturally tell me. ”

Is it the illusion weaver who asked for Ning Chen's eyes? Luo Yinhuan and Yi Yunyin, it seems that they are all serving King Ning, but I don't know who this King Ning is serving. Maybe she will have a chance to get along with that illusion weaver in the Luo family, and maybe she can find a way to heal Ning Chen's eyes, thinking of this, Yue Qianlong is in a good mood.

At night, Luo Yinhuan called her to the courtyard, saying that he had found the whereabouts of the man in black. The two took hundreds of Praetorian Guards to an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city, which was deserted and long since run out of incense. Walking three hundred meters away, Luo Yinhuan waved his hand to let the Praetorian Guard wait in the same place first.

"Chitaki, let's go in with two people first, so as not to startle the snake. ”

"Hmm. ”

Luo Yinhuan had observed it before, although the man in black had injured more than thirty guards, he had spared their lives. Therefore, even if he is in danger with Yue Qianlong, at most he will have a broken arm and no leg or something, and these Ayin can be cured.

"Luo Yinhuan, are you sure you are here?"

"Ayin's path is never wrong. ”

The gate of this ruined temple was hidden, and the sound of breathing could be heard from outside, and there were really people inside. Luo Yinhuan took the fan in his hand, and Yue Qianlong also clenched the long sword. Luo Yinhuan pushed the door in with a look, he was scared into a cold sweat, and what caught his eyes was just a young man who collapsed to the ground. He was dressed in black and had a half-mask on his face, but he was now unconscious, as if he had been seriously injured.

"Chitaki, what do you think is wrong with him?" Luo Yinhuan poked this person with his finger, really didn't react, "It's really a godsend, the rhino bead must be on him." Luo Yinhuan said and searched the young man's body, "How could it not be? This is impossible, does he still have a comrade?"

Yue Qianlong crouched down, but his fingers reached for the mask on his face.

"Lord Luo, have you found the rhino bead?" Ji Hao entered, he was wearing silver armor, and behind him was the silver qi guard.

"What a heel you can't shake off. ”

"I came on the orders of His Majesty, is Lord Luo's sentence alluding to Your Majesty?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, we didn't find anything, but we found people. ”

Ji Hao glanced at the young man on the ground, raised his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Luo, bring it back." ”

These armor-piercing people immediately came in and dragged away the man in black, Yue Qianlong looked a little regretful, this guy's martial arts are so good, but he doesn't even know what he looks like, it's a pity.
