Chapter V: Countermeasures
"I don't think it's anything wrong with me! The reason why the Red Blood Sword has been famous for a long time is not because of the hard work of three generations of your Luo family. It's in my hands, but I don't have a record of it. β
Liu Xinzhu thinks that he has been adrift in the rivers and lakes for only a year, and he has never made waves. Later, after taking over as the valley owner, he rarely went out.
Xueyi touched the sword in his arms and sighed with emotion: "Now it has become an introduction to other people's rumors." Alasβ"
Everyone knows each other that I don't dye red dust, and red dust stains people. Yunshang is young, and she is not ranked in the martial arts, so how can she ever offend anyone. The person who hid in the shadows and spread rumors that the Red Blood Sword was Yunshang's dowry, probably didn't expect that Baihua Valley would unite with the Luo family and explode the line index in advance.
On the surface, Luo Qinghe hated Liu Xinzhu to death, but in fact, the moment he saw her appear in time, he understood. It doesn't matter whether it is the Luo family involved in the Hundred Flowers Valley or the Hundred Flowers Valley that the Luo family is involved in. After solving the group of scheming bandits in Rose Town, the Luo family can live completely in peace, and Yunshang can marry safely.
Liu Xinzhu and Luo Xueyi took advantage of the sunset to choose a gardenia tree with a high courtyard wall. With the length of the Red Blood Sword as the space, a one-foot-deep pit was dug under the corner of the wall. Xueyi carefully placed the red lacquered sword box upright, shoveled and filled it, and stepped on it.
Luo Qinghe stood under the eaves, watching the two of them step the soil on the new pit, and was childish: "It's almost enough." β
"That's good." Xueyi patted the mud on his hands, handed the shovel to the butler, and turned back three times as he walked.
After holding the lamp, Luo Qinghe ordered to go down, all the female dependents stayed in the house, and before dawn, they did not come out when they heard any movement. The children on duty are not allowed to be left alone, notice any time the wind and grass, pay attention to the position, and do not work hard.
For the first time, he used his home as a battlefield. Suddenly nostalgic for the previous challenges of the open, fighting alone, each with his own ability. It's really disgusting to have a masked man like this who doesn't know where it will suddenly come out of nowhere, maybe even a gang wheel fight.
Since they did not dare to take the sword blatantly by their ability, let them come quietly in the dark and go quietly.
Liu Xinzhu walked around outside and came back, but he didn't see officers and soldiers patrolling. In other words, the county magistrate came over in the afternoon just to go through the motions, and he didn't really care about the Luo family's life or death. It may even be a search for the truth and reality, and after the snipe and clam fight, they will reap the benefits of the fisherman. After all, in the entire county, there are few rich families in the Biluo family.
Luo Qinghe persuaded her to take advantage of the first half of the night to sleep for a while if she could. As for Hua Rong, in order not to alarm Lan Ya, I still don't know him.
In the first half of the night, Luo's house was brightly lit, the doors of the hall were open, and there was not a shadow of a thief. As soon as the hour passed, the patrolling children began to change their guards, the candles were extinguished layer by layer, and the doors of the hall were closed one after another. When it was ugly, there were occasionally one or two roosters crowing, and even the lanterns under the corridor were extinguished.
When it is ugly, when people sleep most soundly, it is also the best time for the snitch to enter the house. So Luo Qinghe didn't dare to close his eyes, and personally went to the lookout to supervise, but strangely there was no movement. It shouldn't be so quiet! There are so many new outsiders in Rose Town, and they haven't left. Or are they secretly united, waiting for an opportunity to besiege?
As soon as the time came, he went to the guest room to wake up Liu Xinzhu: "Brother Liu! Get up! They have slept for four hours. "I got up when I said yes, and I slept so deeply.
Liu Xinzhu glanced at the window paper before it was lit, turned over, hugged the quilt and continued to sleep.
Luo Qinghe pushed her back: "Hey? Are you here to sleep at my house? "Talking about defending against foreign enemies together, he guarded the first half of the night, and handed it over to her in the second half of the night.
"It's okay, don't bother me!" Liu Xinzhu's tone was full of impatience. I hate sleeping the most and being woken up in the middle of my sleep and irritable.
Luo Qinghe looked at her and sighed. is this kind of big lazy worm that can sleep for six hours a day, and can sleep for another hour at noon, and it is also worthy of being called the three sons of the new martial arts with Lu Yu and Yang Lao. Amusing! Who will believe it! Good thing he's not among them.
Just a cup of tea, the servant came to report that the courtyard of the snow coat had been stolen. The Red Blood Sword is gone!
Luo Qinghe snatched the door out. Liu Xinzhu got out of bed with a spirit and followed with a sword. The two of them rushed to the gardenia tree at the same time, looked at the mud pit that had been cut open, and breathed a sigh of relief.
If you can find this place accurately under martial law, and take the sword box at the right time, you will either have squatted during the day, or someone in the courtyard will ventilate and report the news. There are only a handful of people who can quietly take away the sword box under their noses!
Liu Xinzhu patted Luo Qinghe's shoulder: "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go out." "Jumped up on the roof and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Luo Qinghe gathered all the domestic servants who had entered and exited this courtyard during the day and checked them one by one. Let's just say how these snitches came so fast and so densely. This internal response at home, I'm afraid it's not a message to sell to several families! After finding out, don't make a noise, just feed the dog!
Liu Xinzhu followed the trail all the way to Rose Town. There are many streets and alleys in the town, which are easy to hide, and it is a real headache to find people. The other party's light skills are quite good, so that he can run six miles at night with the sword box on his back, and he can still do it without alarming the people in the town.
How's that going to work?
She contained the broken half-cut spear in her sword case, weighing as much as the Red Blood Sword. After a long time, the other party realized that he was deceived, and then turned back to the Luo family, which would not be good. In spite of! In short, the Red Blood Sword was stolen by someone.
Liu Xinzhu randomly chose an inn and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, a chubby shopkeeper yawned and opened a crack in the door.
"Who? Our store is full. If you want to stay overnight, go to another house. The shopkeeper looked up and saw a dusty woman holding a long sword in her hand, and immediately came to her senses. Why don't you come and sit down for a while? Well, there should be an empty room as soon as it is dawn. β
Liu Xinzhu didn't go in, so he stood at the door and asked, "Boss, did you hear anything just now?" Seeing that the other party hadn't reacted yet, he prompted, "I don't stay overnight." It was the Luo family who lost something, and the thief came this way. Don't you really see anyone? β
When the boss heard that it was the Luo family, his heart was in his stomach. This relaxes and opens the door a little more. "It turned out that the Luo family arrested someone! I dozed off and didn't hear anything. I'm sorry. β
"That bothered. I'm sorry. Liu Xinzhu turned around and left.
"Girl, walk slowly." The boss was distressed, what a beautiful girl, catching thieves in the middle of the night, it was really hard!
Pretty? He remembered something, and tiptoed upstairs. Knock on the door, no one answers. In a hurry, he knocked on the room of the guy next door, and was about to climb the window to tell people that the wanted man had appeared! But I saw that people were sitting on the window, staring at the girl.
Liu Xinzhu noticed the sound of the inn behind him, didn't look back, and asked the shopkeeper in front of him in a low voice: "Don't you really see anyone?" So be it. If you see any sneaky people in the past few days, come to Luo's house to let them know. β
