Chapter 268: Stupid Thief
After the previous movements, there was still chaos in Jinyang City at this moment, not only did there be a large number of soldiers patrolling the light and dark checkpoints inside, but there were also a lot more officers and soldiers guarding the city on the city wall.
With his current outstanding skills, Xiao Sha used all his strength to carefully survive the city defense, and took advantage of the darkness to avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers in the city, and it took him half an hour to hide in the east before returning to the Yuelai Inn where he was.
The third floor and the two floors below the inn were as quiet as before, and the entire inn did not wake up many people because of the chaos outside, and even the windows that were open when they left were still open.
Finally found a clue, a little relieved Xiao Sha came in through the window, the whole person quietly fell into the room, I was going to start resting after sorting out what I got today, but I felt that the smell in the house was wrong!
It stands to reason that there are so many people living in the inn that even if there are people who specialize in cleaning and cleaning, it is inevitable that there will be a slight smell, but the smell that spreads in the air in the house at the moment is too strong.
It is a rich sweet fragrance, even if the window is open for a long time, it is so strong that people feel nauseous and vomiting when they smell it, and even a little dizzy after taking a deep breath.
Xiao Sha, who had just smelled this smell, paused slightly, and then immediately held his breath and looked around vigilantly, he was not very familiar with this smell but he also knew that it was the incense used by ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, and he had seen it as early as in the enlightened world.
He almost fell asleep on those two occasions, if it weren't for Feng Ling, Dong Tianle, and Jiang Bai, who were experienced, they would probably be more than lucky, and those people who came to chase and intercept for fame and fortune would have all means.
But then again, he knows the incense, but such a strong incense......
After holding his breath, he listened carefully to the movements inside and outside the house, and when he found that no one was hiding, he was a little confused, such a strong incense is enough to fascinate an elephant, if it weren't for his own internal strength, it was already considered deep, but I was afraid that it would be finished as soon as I came in, why did the other party put so much incense?
Puzzled, he walked to the window and stretched his head out of the window and slowly let go of his breathing, diluting and refining the incense he had inhaled before with true qi, and his head, which was still a little dizzy, suddenly sobered up.
Before he could find a way to quickly dispel the smell that filled the air, two slight footsteps came from the corner of the inn facing the window, and at the same time, there was the extremely small voice of speech in the darkness.
Although these voices were slight, they could not hide from him, and he suddenly looked down with curiosity.
Directly below the inn window is a narrow alley that is difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass, and on both sides of the alley are some bamboo poles, dustpans, dilapidated water tanks and other household things, which is usually a remote area rarely visited by the people in the vicinity.
At this moment, under the large number of bamboo poles leaning against a wall, two half-crouching figures were moving towards the inn little by little, and their clumsy posture and movement that were still noticed even if they tried their best to hide showed that these two people seemed to have low or no martial arts.
In a little movement, a man in black in front poked the man who was squatting behind him and slowly followed, and said in a low voice: "Brother, let's wait a little longer, I'm still a little dizzy......"
"Don't mind"
Hearing this, the man in black who was squatting behind him hurriedly pushed the one in front: "It's just to go in while the medicine is still in there, don't we have a wet cloth?" When you go up, you can bring your face and breathe lightly. ”
"Does that work? Didn't you almost get fainted just now? After such a long time, do you think people will wake up? ”
Listening to the voice in front of her, it seemed to be a woman, and the man in black behind suddenly pushed her again, urging: "It's a matter of time, now that we've all been down for so long, maybe we've dispersed almost." As for that person, don't worry, brother, I use the most powerful incense, and if someone in it is absolutely asleep to the point that he can't wake up with a brick. ”
"Oh......"
The woman in black in front moved forward again, moving directly below the window facing Xiao Sha, holding something in her hand and about to launch it up, but couldn't help but turn around and speak again: "But...... But how do I feel that something is wrong, in fact, we should have held our breath just now and took the package and left, brother, you put so much incense, and now it is estimated that it is still ......"
"Who's to blame? It's not your fault. If it weren't for you fainting, wouldn't my brother have climbed down with you from such a high place? Look at my leg still hurts! Hey, you move forward, there is a bamboo pole behind my brother, and there will be a sound when you touch it......"
"Oh......"
"Oh what? You're launching it! ”
"I want to come, but it's too dark to find the mechanism, wait......"
“……”
A pair of strange thieves!
Holding back a smile and holding his breath and retracting into the house, Xiao Sha finally understood how the smell of dizziness came from in his room, feeling funny and glad that he threw the package containing a hundred or dozens of taels of silver into the quilt before leaving, and a total of twenty silver tickets that were exchanged for one hundred taels were carried with him.
Just as he was waiting to see how the two tease thieves played, there was a sudden 'boom' outside the window, and an iron claw the size of a palm with a slender tail that shimmered in the moonlight flew up from below and snapped onto the wooden window edge.
Flying Silver Claw, a tool that helps people climb to heights, was once used in ancient siege battles on Earth and in the enlightened world. It's just that for the powerful Shenzhou world, such things only appear among people with low martial arts or even no martial arts, and ordinary masters don't need it at all.
Looking at the iron claws with three claws buckled on the edge of his window, Xiao Sha grinned, and after waiting for the tight-looking thread connected to the claw to break straight, he silently counted five times, and then stretched out a finger to the edge of the window on the edge of the claw, and the internal force followed the finger and suddenly shook the edge of the window where the claw was buckled into sawdust.
The edge of the window was a sawdust, and the claws that had been firmly grasped suddenly hooked a few strands of sawdust and fell.
But after hearing the sound of "poof", the sound below was suddenly more obvious, and a very low female voice suddenly came up: "...... Brother, you don't catch me either, uh...... What about you? ”
"Who said I didn't catch you? Don't you feel a lot of pain right now? ”
"Uh, yes! Why? It's all one foot high, how can it not hurt when it falls to the ground? Wait, this feels ......."
"Can you get off me? It's painful for me, have you eaten too much lately? ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you're okay, are you?"
"What do you say? Never mind...... It's better for you to do it again, this fat sheep will reward people with ten taels of silver at every turn, and we can do at least half a year without doing anything after this vote, maybe there can be more, hehe, be careful this time. ”
Ten taels of silver?
On the third floor, Xiao Sha, who was eavesdropping, suddenly realized that his feelings were caused by himself during the day to inquire about the news.
At this moment, a 'boom' sound was heard, and the iron claws from the bottom up were once again hooked accurately on the other side of the window edge, and the people below shook a little to break the line at the end of the hook straight, followed by a sound of climbing.
Xiao Sha, who had already understood everything, suddenly showed an expectant smile when he saw this, Bai Sensen's teeth were like demon's fangs in the moonlight.
After two more breaths, he once again stretched out his finger to the edge of the iron claw on the edge of the window, where the internal force passed, and the edge of the window became sawdust again, and the shiny claws creaked, grabbing a few sawdust and falling down from the window edge again.
