At the third watch, Lu Xiaoxian was sleeping in a daze and seemed to hear a knock on the door.

"Who?" Lu Xiaoxian was awakened and sat up.

"Brother Lu, it's me!" Yang Si's voice sounded outside the door.

Lu Xiaoxian opened the door under his clothes.

As soon as the door opened, I heard Yang Si say eagerly: "Brother Lu, it's caught, it's caught!" ”

"What catched?" Lu Xiaoxian was inexplicable.

"You're not telling me to keep an eye on the whereabouts of that Shadowless Thief! For the past two days, I have sent people to squat every night, and tonight I finally found his trace and captured him alive. ”

"Great!" Lu Xiaoxian suddenly fell asleep when he heard this, and asked happily, "Where are people now?" ”

"He has been taken out of the city, locked up in an abandoned ruined temple!"

"Let's go, let's see!" Lu Xiaoxian commanded while dressing: "Brother Yang, you lead the way in front." ”

Yang Si led Lu Xiaoxian to the ruined temple outside the city.

Entering the temple gate, under the dim light, Lu Xiaoxian saw a person in night clothes, sitting on the ground with a bundle of knots, and several big men staring at him.

There is no doubt that this man is the Shadowless Thief.

The shadowless thief is not good-looking, with a thin figure, it seems that he can walk around with a gust of wind, but his eyes are sharp, if he hadn't happened to be caught, Lu Xiaoxian would never have thought that the person in front of him was a shadowless thief who was good at flying eaves and walking walls.

"What's your name?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.

The shadowless thief looked at Lu Xiaoxian and did not answer.

"How did you get out of the county jail to commit the crime?" Lu Xiaoxian was very patient and continued to ask.

The shadowless thief still didn't say a word, his unruly attitude made Yang Si very angry, and he stepped forward and kicked him and said, "If you don't reply again, believe it or not, I'll break your leg right away?" ”

The Shadowless Thief still had his neck strained, and there was not the slightest fear on his face.

Seeing the appearance of the Shadowless Thief, Yang Si was really annoyed, and was about to teach the Shadowless Thief a lesson, but heard Lu Xiaoxian say: "Brother Yang, don't be angry, I will have a way to make him speak!" ”

After that, Lu Xiaoxian took a step forward and looked at the shadowless thief, with a strange look in his eyes, but he didn't say a word.

Although the shadowless thief's face was turned to the side, he could feel Lu Xiaoxian's strange gaze, which made him very uncomfortable.

Finally, the Shadowless Thief turned his head and glared at Lu Xiaoxian: "What do you want me to do?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian smiled, and the playfulness in his eyes was even stronger, and the shadowless thief felt goosebumps all over his body.

Lu Xiaoxian turned around and said to Yang Si: "Brother Yang, you and your subordinates will avoid it, and leave it to me here, how about it?" ”

Yang Si nodded slightly, and turned around and walked out of the broken temple with his subordinates.

After a while, laughter came from the ruined temple.

Who is so happy, Yang Si listened carefully, it didn't seem to be Lu Xiaoxian's voice, could it be a shadowless thief, why did he laugh?

The laughter has not stopped, Yang Si frowned when he listened to it, it was obviously laughter, why didn't he feel a little happy, no matter how he listened to it, he felt terrifying.

On such a night, in such a wilderness, listening to this kind of uninterrupted laughter without any happiness, Yang Si's hairs stood up.

As the laughter became more and more harsh, Yang Si went to see what was going on, but he still held back.

The raging laughter lasted for about a pillar of incense before it gradually stopped.

Yang Si breathed a sigh of relief, and his nervous mood relaxed at the same time.

Then, there was a sound of speech from the ruined temple, and I couldn't hear what was being said clearly.

After another pillar of incense, Lu Xiaoxian slowly walked out of the broken temple.

"Brother Lu!" Yang Si hurriedly stepped forward, "How is it?" Did you ask it? ”

"Asked!" Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and told Yang Si everything he knew from the mouths of the shadowless thief.

"That's right!" Yang thought of the strange laughter just now, and asked curiously, "Brother Lu, this shadowless thief has a very hard mouth, what method did you use to make him say it obediently?" ”

"I laughed at him!" Lu Xiaoxian seemed to be saying something insignificant.

"Laughing Punishment?" Yang Si couldn't help but shudder and asked, "Did you tickle him and make him laugh all the time?" ”

"Tickling is also a kind of laughing punishment, but this method doesn't work for people like him!" Saying that, Lu Xiaoxian took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said to Yang Si, "This is an essential oil extracted from the inverted hanging lotus, as long as it is applied to the soles of people's feet, it is much worse than tickling, the itching is unbearable, it cannot be restrained, and the laughter does not stop, if the antidote is not applied, people will die of laughter." ”

Yang Si was terrified when he heard this, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Xiaoxian, he usually looked smiling, but who knew that he had such a powerful means.

Lu Xiaoxian seemed to see Yang Si's thoughts, and smiled: "I'm afraid that this meeting will stimulate you, so I let you avoid it!" ”

Yang Si asked again, "How to deal with this person?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said, "Let him commit the crime as planned, and then go back to the prison." Don't divulge tonight's situation, lest you startle the snake! ”

Yang Si was a little worried: "If he ...... in case"

Lu Xiaoxian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm pointing to the west now, he will definitely not dare to face the east!" ”

……

Early the next morning, Li Xun sent someone to invite Lu Xiaoxian.

It was the one-eyed remnant beside Li Xun who came, and Lu Xiaoxian asked him: "Your master has made a decision?" ”

The one-eyed remnant nodded.

"Will he go or won't go?" Lu Xiaoxian asked again.

The one-eyed remnant said expressionlessly: "The master asked me to invite Lu Gongzi, and he will tell Lu Gongzi in person!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian didn't ask any more, and rushed to Kushui Village with the one-eyed remnant.

After listening to Li Xun, although Lu Xiaoxian was surprised, he didn't show it on his face, he sighed and said, "You really decided to go?" ”

Li Xun didn't answer Lu Xiaoxian's question, but just said something that was unrelated: "I've been away from Shendu for too long!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian can understand Li Xun's mood, Luoyang, the capital of God, is the hometown in his heart, and there are too many temptations for him under the prosperity, for this temptation, he does not hesitate to gamble, even if he is crushed.

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the remnants again, and their faces showed a sense of determination.

The one-legged old servant said proudly: "Although we old guys are useless, since the master has decided, even if we throw this old bone in the deep mountains and old forests, we will not hesitate." ”

Lu Xiaoxian knew that whatever he said was in vain.

He nodded at Li Xun: "Good luck!" ”

……

At the door of Guo Zhen's house, Lu Xiaoxian stood with his hands in his hands.

After a while, the old servant came out and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "The county lieutenant is invited!" ”

The old servant led Lu Xiaoxian to the living room, and Guo Zhen was waiting for him!

Guo Zhen is about forty years old, short and concise, with a slightly white face, and his appearance is still beautiful.

"Anyway, you should be here too!" Guo Zhen pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian sat down and said lightly: "County Lieutenant Guo knew that I had discovered the clues, and let Chen Zhengye commit the crime, didn't he mean to lead me to something?" ”

Guo Zhenzheng said: "I have seen everything you did in Nanba County before, and I know that I will definitely not be able to hide this from you!" Since you can't hide it, it's better not to hide it! ”

"At the age of eighteen, the county lieutenant Guo was admitted to the Jinshi examination and was appointed as the county lieutenant of Nanba County. Sitting in the position of county lieutenant for twenty-three years, when it is this endurance, it is not beyond the reach of ordinary people! ”

What Lu Xiaoxian said was something he asked Yang Si to investigate. Since you want to fight Guo Zhen, of course, you have to understand his details.

"Mr. Lu is really prepared!" Guo Zhen's words couldn't be heard as admiration or ridicule.

"Don't just come prepared! I have a poem here, please appreciate it by County Lieutenant Guo! After saying that, Lu Xiaoxian suddenly groaned, "You don't see Kunwu Iron Smelting Flying Yanyan. The red light and purple qi are impressive. Good workers exercise for a few days, and forge the sword name Longquan. The color of Longquan is like frost and snow, and the good work is amazing. The glazed jade box spits lotus flowers, and the staggered gold ring reflects the bright moon. It happens that there is no wind and dust in the world, but fortunately, it is used to prevent the gentleman's body. The fine light is dark and green and snake-colored, and the article is covered with green turtle scales. Non-direct friendship rangers, but also close to heroes. Nazhi Zhonglu was abandoned and scattered on the edge of the ancient prison. Although it is useless to be buried, it can still be angry at night. ”

Guo Zhen couldn't help but be stunned, because what Lu Xiaoxian chanted just now was the "Ancient Sword Chapter" he once made.

Guo Zhen was quite chivalrous when he was young, and he liked to travel the world the most, and of course he was also contaminated with many bad habits of Ren Xia. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have broken the law.

However, Zhao Jiaotou didn't lie, Guo Zhen didn't spend the money himself, he used it to help friends from all over the world. Therefore, he was like Song Jiang later, responding to every call, and gathering tens of millions of people was just a piece of cake.

"Ancient Sword" refers to the famous Longquan Sword in ancient times. This poem is Guo Zhen's singing of the Longquan Sword to express his ideals and ambitions, and to express his feelings of not meeting talents.
