In the spring, the moon is already hanging high outside, and the candle fire is already in the house. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the lobby on the first floor of the Tongfu Inn, several important people in the inn were gathering around for dinner. Tong Xiangyu, the shopkeeper, naturally sat in the first place, flanked by Bai Zhantang, the director of the running hall, Guo Furong, the director of the miscellaneous work, Li Dazui, the director of the kitchen, Lu Qinghou, the supervisor of the accounting room, and Mo Xiaobei, the sister of Tong Xiangyu's husband.

A table of six people, the food is happy, more like a big family, through the candlelight, a little warm.

Outside the window, a white shadow appeared silently, without the slightest breath, like a ghost, looking at them quietly.

Looks like they're talking about something.

Tong Xiangyu lowered his voice and said cautiously: "That group of Taoist priests, didn't you do anything to you?" ”

"It's okay, just ask about the situation, what can happen." Bai Zhantang said with a smile.

On the other hand, Li Dazui was dissatisfied, and roared with an exaggerated expression: "It's okay? Is this okay? This group of Daoist Breakers checked me eighteen times in one day yesterday! I didn't do anything for a day, so I asked them to question me, and there is no royal law! ”

Tong Xiangyu said in a low voice: "Return the king law, the people are powerful, what else do you say about the king law, it is a great luck that people are fine." ”

"Hey, shopkeeper, I said they're still powerful? The head of the house let Prime Minister Bai be like that, and they dare to investigate Prime Minister Bai like this? Prime Minister Bai slapped them to death, do you believe it or not? This group of calves dares to bully and bully our little people! Li shouted.

Xuanyu outside the window, listening to Li Dazui's words, couldn't help but sigh.

Tong Xiangyu hurriedly said: "Oh, I'm my mother, you make a little noise, you can't hear others?" ”

Guo Furong teased: "Hey, big mouth, if you don't want people to check on you and report your mother's name as a six-finger gambling saint, I guarantee they won't dare to check you." ”

Bai Zhantang on the side also said with a smile: "That's it, your mother was famous back then!" ”

Li raised his face with a big mouth, stretched his head, and shouted quickly: "Talking nonsense, didn't my mother not let me mention his old man?" Besides, Xiao Guo, why don't you mention your father's name? Da Song Guo Juxia, can they not give your father face? And you Lao Bai, it's not that I said that you are a thief......"

"What nonsense are you talking about, if you talk nonsense, you won't have your salary next month." Tong Xiangyu hurriedly said, "Xiao Guo, go and close the door." ”

Xuanyu's expression outside the window moved, but he didn't expect a small inn to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Six-fingered gambling saint? Guo Juxia? It's kind of interesting. Xuanyu thought in his heart, "It's a pity that this person's later words didn't come out, what is this person's identity?" Xuanyu frowned and continued to listen to the conversation.

Guo Furong stretched out her head and looked around, Xuanyu hurriedly hid so that she was not discovered, and Guo Furong saw that there was no one around, so she closed the door. In the house, Tong Xiangyu angrily said to Li: "Don't you want to live anymore, and dare to say this at this time?" ”

"Oh, it was, thief...... So what ancestors, where are the ancestors, what else to check. Tong Xiangyu stared at Li Dazui, so frightened that Li's voice became smaller and smaller.

"I'll tell you Li Dazui, if you dare to say this again, don't blame me for ordering you." Bai Zhantang said with a glare.

Guo Furong on the side asked with a little curiosity: "Lao Bai, what are they missing?" With such fanfare, I heard that I almost got into a fight with the prime minister in the palace yesterday. ”

Lu Qinghou echoed: "Yes, Lao Bai, you are well-informed, do you know what they lost?" ”

Bai Zhantang hesitated for a moment, and then under the repeated requests of several people, he had to put down the dishes and chopsticks, put several heads together, and whispered to them: "Don't spread it out, otherwise it will be a disaster of death, you know?" ”

"Got it, got it." Everyone nodded hurriedly.

"I heard that what Changliu lost this time is their Changliu's Supreme Treasure Compassion Sword!" Bai Zhantang said in a suppressed voice.

Everyone was shocked, and Lu Qinghou asked, "Is that the sword that Bai Zi used to paint that day?" ”

Bai Zhantang nodded, "It's that sword, the Minsheng Sword ranks fifth on the human realm divine sword spectrum, this thing is lost, do you say that the people who stay for a long time can not be in a hurry?" ”

Xuanyu outside the window listened carefully, but he didn't expect that Bai Zhantang knew a lot.

"Alas, I heard that our white prime minister also said something about the Xuanyuan Sword, what is the ranking of this thing on the Excalibur spectrum?" Li Dazui asked curiously.

Bai Zhantang said lightly: "Ranked first!" ”

"What's the matter, Prime Minister Bai stole the fifth, and then compensated someone for the first? Isn't that sick? Li Dazui laughed.

Bai Zhantang said: "You're sick, that Bai Yu is stupid?" Besides, who told you that the Minsheng Sword was stolen by Bai Yu? ”

"Heh, those Taoist priests outside say so." Li Dazui said: "Alas, Lao Bai, it wasn't him who stole it, could it be that you stole it?" ”

"What's the use of me stealing that?" Bai Zhantang said.

"And who stole it?"

"Where do I know where to go?"

"Alas, Lao Bai, you are not a thief...... What kind of ancestor is that? Hurry up and see who stole it, tell them that they have it, and the province tosses us every day, like a prisoner, and is it annoying. Li Dazui complained.

"Lao Bai, do you think this could be done by your thieves?" Guo Furong asked in a low voice.

Bai Zhantang gnawed his fingers and said, "It's hard to say. Tong Xiangyu on the side said with a sad face: "Forget it, forget it, let's worry about this, this is what Prime Minister Bai should be anxious about, let's eat when we should eat." ”

Guo Furong on the side said: "The key is that Lao Bai is here, the identity of Prime Minister Bai is not simple, maybe he will find out about Lao Bai, so I have no choice." ”

"Xiao Guo is right, Bai Yu is not a simple person, maybe he has already begun to doubt me." Bai Zhantang frowned.

"Ah, Zhantang, why don't you go out and hide." Tong Xiangyu said worriedly.

"What am I hiding, my body is not afraid of the shadow, and I didn't steal the Compassion Sword."

"Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it, let's eat first."

Xuanyu outside the window, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "I didn't expect that I didn't come for nothing, it was really not simple." ”

Bai Zhantang's residence was in the backyard of the inn, and after eating, he went back to his house, but when he first arrived in the backyard, a white shadow suddenly slipped in front of his eyes.

Bai Zhantang's face changed, looking at the direction in which the white shadow was sweeping, and after a few hesitations, he still followed.

Bai Zhantang's cultivation may not be as strong as Baizihua, but his body style is a little stronger than it, and he easily caught up with Xuanyu.

On one roof, two people stand opposite each other.

"I knew you would come, Prime Minister Bai." Bai Zhantang said in a condensed voice.

Xuanyu smiled slightly, "The one who stole the door? ”

Bai Zhantang's face changed greatly, and he said in a low voice: "How do you know? ”

"Didn't you just say that?" Xuanyu chuckled, "You don't have to be nervous, I won't talk about it everywhere." ”

Bai Zhantang's face was a little gloomy, and Xuanyu continued to say to himself: "The four thieves, I once met the thief Chu Liuxiang, who are you?" ”

"I'm just a nobody, no name." Bai Zhantang said in a low voice.

Xuanyu chuckled and said, "Heh, if you have this kind of skill, if you want to say that you don't have a certain status in the thief door, do you think I will believe it?" ”

"Believe it or not."

Xuanyu stared at Bai Zhantang and suddenly said, "Are you a thief saint?" ”

Bai Zhantang's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "Why don't you say that I am the master of the thief and have no way to rob the door?" ”

Xuanyu looked at Bai Zhantang carefully, paying attention to his every expression, but he didn't see any panic or unnaturalness.

"It's not impossible." Xuanyu said softly, and at the same time wondered in his heart, "Could it be that he is really not one of the four thieves?" ”

There are many legends about the four thieves, but among the four thieves, only the thief Chu Liuxiang and the king of the thief Sikong Xingxing have real names circulating, and the rest of the thieves and thieves, no one knows their real names.

"Prime Minister Bai really likes to joke." Bai Zhantang smiled, as if there was not the slightest hint of nervousness.

Xuanyu's voice was also very soft, "Your Excellency's surname?" It's like chatting with an old friend for many years.

"It's really a coincidence, Prime Minister Bai and I are still our own family." Bai Zhantang said: "Just call me Bai Zhantang, if someone hadn't mentioned the identity of the thief, I would have forgotten that I was also a thief a long time ago." Bai Zhantang's words were a little embarrassed.

"That's a coincidence, while I'm still surnamed Bai, then we're our family." Xuanyu smiled, Bai Zhantang frowned, a little puzzled by what Xuanyu meant. Also, that day, Xuanyu's "Imperial Decree" had not yet spread around, and it was normal for Bai Zhantang not to understand.

"I once heard that the thief saint, the head of the four thieves, has retired to the rivers and lakes, I don't know if Brother Bai has heard of it?" Xuanyu asked softly.

Bai Zhantang chuckled lightly and said, "Prime Minister, brother is really elevated. I'm just a runaway, but I can't afford it."

"Didn't you say it all, we are our own family?" Xuanyu said softly: "What's more, I asked you for advice." The deep gaze was tightly locked on Bai Zhantang's body, and the meaning of Xuanyu's words could naturally be heard by Bai Zhantang.

Ask him, and he will answer.

A trace of helplessness and jealousy flashed in Bai Zhantang's eyes, and he said slowly: "Regarding the matter of stealing the saint, there are different truths and falsehoods. However, who can truly live in seclusion when people are in the rivers and lakes? One day is a lifetime. Bai Zhantang's expression was a little depressed, and Xuanyu on the other side also felt the same way.

"Yes, one day is a lifetime. In the rivers and lakes, the body can't help itself, and above the temple, things can't help it. Xuanyu's voice was full of loneliness, as if it was telling his inner hesitation and confusion.

Under the moonlit night, a white figure, looking into the distance, sighed, no one knew why he was sighing, and he didn't know why he was sad.

Bai Zhantang's face on the opposite side remained unchanged, and he asked in a condensed voice: "The prime minister is here, but you want to ask the sword of mercy?" ”

Xuanyu nodded, without saying a word, and looked at Bai Zhantang, hoping that Bai Zhantang could say any useful clues.

However, Bai Zhantang said in a deep voice: "The sword, I didn't steal it, and I don't know who stole it, I'm afraid I'll disappoint the prime minister." ”
