The party to entertain the Living Buddha of Darkha was held at the "Deyun" hotel where the Living Buddha stayed.

The organizer is the Religious Affairs Administration.

Xiao Fan attended the party.

Generally speaking, the activities held by the bureau will not notify Xiao Fan to participate. For so many years, Xiao Fan has only been a name in the Religious Affairs Bureau, and the time he works in the Religious Affairs Bureau every year may not add up to more than ten days. So much so that now, in the entire bureau, I am afraid that only Lao Wang, the secretary of the bureau, knows that there is a cadre named Xiao Fan in the Religious Affairs Bureau who enjoys the treatment of deputy director.

The big brand of the old Xiao family is worthy of this face.

Only at a party like today, the director will specially ask Lao Wang to notify Xiao Fan to participate.

The reason for this is that the identity of the Living Buddha of Darkha is too sensitive. The Living Buddha of Darkha went to Beijing secretly this time, nominally he was a living Buddha of the plateau, but in fact he had already gone abroad. This time, as a special envoy of a certain chief lama who also lives abroad, he secretly came to the capital for a meeting.

The status of the Darkha Living Buddha in the plateau religious system is not too high, and it belongs to the level of "Dharma King". However, because he followed the chief Grand Lama for a long time, he won the trust of the chief Grand Lama, and often served as the special envoy of the Grand Lama, and held secret meetings with all political parties.

In this regard, the official is also very cautious.

The Living Buddha Darkha has always been received by the Religious Affairs Bureau, but other than that, no other important leaders from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have appeared.

Everyone is careful.

Including the director of the Religious Affairs Bureau, they are walking on thin ice.

At this time, Director Fei naturally remembered Xiao Fan. Xiao Fan basically didn't have to do anything to attend this party, just show up at the party and shake hands with the Darkha Living Buddha.

Director Fei needs Xiao Fan to give him a witness, in case there is any misunderstanding in the future, Xiao Fan can be his witness. A young cadre of the Religious Affairs Bureau, who enjoys the treatment of a deputy director, is nothing in the eyes of high-level bigwigs, and is not much different from air. But the identity of the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family is not trivial, and no one dares to despise it.

Over the years, Director Fei has always taken good care of Xiao Fan, and while maintaining his status as a cadre, he has given him 100% freedom. At the critical moment, Xiao Fanzi also had to help Director Fei.

But only Xiao Fan himself knows what his real purpose is when he postponed his trip to Jianghan Province and made a special trip to participate in this party.

"Deyun Hotel" is the designated hotel of the Religious Affairs Bureau, built according to the four-star standard, in the current capital, not the most luxurious, naturally not not into the stream, the middle and upper level. Every banquet and cocktail party held by the Religious Affairs Bureau was held at the Deyun Hotel.

Today's party is actually a drinking party.

The Living Buddhas of Darkha do not forbid meat and do not abstain from alcohol, which is allowed by their teachings. There is a big difference between the teachings and precepts of Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism.

Xiao Fan had already completed his "task", shook hands with the Darkha Living Buddha, exchanged a few words, picked up a cup of tea, sat in a corner of the reception hall, smiled on his face, slowly tasted tea, and looked at everything in the field.

This time, Xin Lin didn't stand by his side.

On all similar occasions, Xin Lin will not appear in public.

At a drinking party with obvious political connotations like this, the rules are still relatively strict, everyone wears masks, and they are polite between words. Compared to some of the grand diplomatic receptions, there are some unique situations that are difficult to see.

For example - thieves!

That's right, it's a thief.

The grander the diplomatic reception, the more diplomats attended, and the more "thieves" there were. If it is a real theft, it will be taken directly out of someone's pocket, and the person who is stolen will never find out, and it will create an opportunity for people to steal something.

Most of the "thieves" were well-dressed and dignified diplomats.

To put it bluntly, it's an exchange of information.

Today's party, unlike that occasion, does not need to exchange information in this way, so there will be no "thieves".

However, there are exceptions to everything.

Before Xiao Fan finished drinking a cup of tea, the thief appeared.

A real thief.

Now I am a waiter at the reception, looking to be in my thirties and less than forty years old, dressed neatly in a suit and leather shoes, holding a tray in my hand, shuttling through the crowd to facilitate the guests to take the liquor and drinks in the tray.

This waiter is not tall, at most he looks like one meter six or five, and he looks quite good, but his expression is a little stiff. But it doesn't matter, no one cares if an ordinary waiter smiles like a flower. The posture of the tray is very chic, the movement is smooth, holding the wine around the crowd, light as a swallow, never bumping into the guests, and the "business" is extremely skillful.

A smile of interest appeared on the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth.

And he did.

The king of stealing kings - Zhuge Yinghui!

It is said that on this shijie, there is nothing that Zhuge Yinghui can't steal. As long as he wants to steal, even if you hide something in the most expensive safe in the whole Shijie, plus twelve layers of protection, in front of Zhuge Yinghui, it will be nothing.

He'll be able to steal your stuff!

Of course, this is a rumor, which is suspected of exaggeration. But to have this kind of rumor has already proved the cleverness of Zhuge Yinghui's "stealing skills". Otherwise, why don't people rumor others, but rumor about him?

There are far more rumors about Zhuge Yinghui than that, there are many.

For example, Zhuge Yinghui himself will never admit that he is the "king of stealing kings" and dare not be it.

Zhuge Yinghui said that in Italy, there is another master, "stealing skills" above him, the Italian nicknamed "God's Hand", is the real king of stealing kings, the first master of "stealing" unique in Shijie. Zhuge Yinghui once had a discussion with him, and he was willing to bow down. Therefore, Zhuge Yinghui called himself General Zhuge .

This allusion comes from Mr. Gu Long's novel "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang". Chu Xiangshuai is known as "thief handsome", is the king of thieves, the handsome of thieves; There is also a master of "stealing the world" in the book, whose "stealing skills" are second only to Chu Xiangshuai, and he is called "General Li".

Zhuge Yinghui considered himself a general, and he was the second in "stealing skills".

But no one believed it.

Anyway, no one has ever seen the "Hand of God", and the ghost knows if there is such a person on this shijie, maybe it was made up by Zhuge Yinghui himself as the object to be surpassed in his imagination.

The so-called high places are not cold.

In the East, at least no one has ever seen a guy whose "stealing skills" are even higher than Zhuge Yinghui.

For those who can reach the pinnacle in a certain field, Xiao Fan will take a high look. Anyway, that's what it takes. As for whether the "King of Thieves" is worthy of praise, that's another matter.

Xiao Fan knew that Zhuge Yinghui would definitely appear tonight, and he came for the next volume of the tantric "Bible" that the Living Buddha of Darkha carried with him.

The second volume of this "Bible" carried by the Living Buddha of Darkha is not trivial. It is said to be the experience and perception of the great living Buddha of Tantra when Master Tsongkhapa was enlightened when he realized the Great Dao, and it is divided into two volumes, and is regarded as one of the sacred relics of Tantric Yellow Sect.

The Living Buddha of Darkha brought this volume of scriptures to Beijing to show his sincerity and promised to give a copy to the Religious Affairs Bureau for research purposes. The first volume of the Bible is not mentioned. Naturally, the leaders of the Religious Affairs Bureau will not mention this topic, so as not to cause unpleasantness.

Zhuge Yinghui is stealing things now, purely out of interest.

This book is a good goal.

He did not steal this book to sell it for money. A person who has the nickname "King of Stealing Kings" is simply an idiot if he still bothers about money. But an idiot can't be a "king of stealing kings", so it's a paradox.

Zhuge Yinghui made a move this time, just to satisfy some of his desires.

Although there are certain security measures at the reception, after all, the Living Buddha Darkha is the special envoy of the chief lama, and his personal safety must be guaranteed. But no one thought that the "Bible" carried by the living Buddha would become a target for thieves, otherwise the security measures would be raised to another level.

But that won't work.

As long as Zhuge Yinghui comes, this "Bible" can already be regarded as something in his pocket.

Xiao Fan tasted the fragrant tea, and watched the short "waiter" with a smile on his face inadvertently come to the Darka Living Buddha who was chatting and talking with Director Fei, and watched him easily take a yellow-covered scroll from the living Buddha, and put back a "scroll" of the same color and volume.

"Stealing the sky and changing the day" was completed in an instant, and the action was like flowing water, which can be called "pleasing to the eye".

It turns out that no matter how "work" reaches its highest level, it will be pleasing to the eye.

Darka Living Buddha, Director Fei, and the surrounding guests, no one noticed Zhuge Yinghui's small movements.

After Zhuge Yinghui succeeded, he didn't even leave the reception site immediately, but continued to shuttle through the crowd with a plate, until a cup of Zuihou drink on the plate was taken away by a lady, and the arrogant "waiter" flipped and played with the tray with one hand and left the venue in a chic manner.

If Zhuge Yinghui paid special attention to it, he would find that before he left, Xiao Fan had already left first.

The king of stealing kings would not pay attention to such a young cadre of the Religious Bureau.

Soon, he appeared in the underground parking lot of the Deyun Hotel with light steps. However, at this time, Zhuge Yinghui had already changed his clothes, wearing a well-fitting Armani men's suit, shaking a bunch of car keys in his right hand, and walked to the corner of the underground parking lot without hurrying, with a satisfied smile on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was relatively short and his figure was too inconspicuous, the king of stealing kings at this moment would be regarded as a beautiful man with a good demeanor.

In him, there is absolutely no trace of the obscene atmosphere of a thief.

There is only the "kingly demeanor" of the king of stealing kings.

There is a sentence that often hangs on General Zhuge 's lips: Being a thief can also be very personable.
