Volume 2 Water Bo Chapter 45 Stealing
Back at Muyunzhuang, it was getting late, and the sunset in the west gave the whole manor a warm tone.
After Du Lengqiu asked about the situation of Chunsong and the others, he immediately found Ah Cuo and began to read the news obtained by Steward Fu. In a few days, the notes have accumulated a lot.
After looking at it for a while, Du Lengqiu couldn't help laughing.
These people cultivated by the Zheng Mansion are mixed, and all kinds of news that are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood are mixed together, which is very interesting. And some of the news can really be seen as a joke.
For example, a message came from an informant in White Rock Town. It is said that there is a young merchant in Baishi Town, who walks the streets and alleys every day with a burden, shaking a tambourine in his hand and shouting "Hara whistle" in his mouth, and this informant suspects that he is calling for some code.
For another example, the informant in Qingniuwan sent news that there was a strong man from a foreign country in the house of their treacherous and cunning Zhao Goudan, and the two did not go out every day, and there were always some strange voices at home, I don't know if they were planning some conspiracy.
For another example, an informant in Linjiang Town received news that he had heard that there were two outsiders drinking and having fun by the river. They used a jujube kernel shell the size of a gourd as a container, and when the wine was finished, they brought river water, and when the wine was ready, they continued to drink it freely, like madmen.
Another example...... Ahem
In short, Du Lengqiu looked through all the news, and there was no great value. He was in a sad mood, hey, Pai Jiao! Where the hell are you hiding? Why does my brother have to meet such a treacherous opponent every time he crosses?
Coming out of the study, the waning moon was already hanging in the treetops.
The bamboo in the courtyard swayed, making a rustling sound. The moonlight is dim, and the stars are shining. The autumn chrysanthemums blooming in the starlight trembled, as if applauding the insects in the corners.
The fragrance of chrysanthemums adds a touch of vivid color to the cold air, just like the sunset is to the sunset, with the finishing touch.
"Well, isn't it time for the Chung Yeung Festival? People should get some chrysanthemum wine, just to taste the taste of ancient festivals. ”
Du Lengqiu thought wildly and flew up and jumped onto the roof. There was a soft click, and a tile was trampled by Du Lengqiu. He scratched his head a little embarrassed, but fortunately this was his own house, and no one rushed out to catch the snitch.
Sitting on the roof, the cool autumn breeze blows slowly, which makes people feel refreshed. Du Lengqiu exhaled, stretched his limbs, and collapsed on his back. In the past few days, things have occurred frequently, which has made him a little tired, and it is rare to have a moment of relaxation at this moment. After a while, he fell asleep.
The moon was moving, everything was silent, and soon it was the second half of the night.
A man in black was suddenly at the door of the study, and he crept over, listened with his ear against the window lattice, and took a long breath.
He pushed open the window and scurried into the house without a sound.
The man went into the house, rummaging carefully, knocking and knocking, and the bookshelves, desks, walls, floors, and beams all slipped through the net, and looking at his cautious and swift appearance, it was obvious that he was a veteran thief.
Half an hour later, the man in black stood in the middle of the study, muttering to himself, "I can't find the slightest clue." Where the hell is the fairy fruit hidden?"
Reluctantly, he scanned the entire study, hoping to find some clues, but in vain. He came to the window, pushed the window out, and was about to dodge away, but his body suddenly froze.
Du Lengqiu sat on the ridge of the roof and was looking at him quietly.
The two of them looked at each other in silence. After a while, Du Lengqiu patted the tiles beside him and said lightly: "The scenery here is just right." Come and sit. ”
The figure in black was vertical, flying up to the roof, and when he landed, he was silent, and his light skills were countless times higher than Du Lengqiu. He walked straight to Du Lengqiu and sat down, took off the black face scarf, and it was a smoke cloud fishing.
The two did it side by side, but Du Lengqiu didn't say anything. The quiet night put a lot of pressure on Yanyun Yusuo, and after a while, a bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a long time, Yanyun Yusu sighed softly, seemed to spit out all the pressure and despair in his heart, and asked, "Young Master Qiu, are you interested in listening to a story?"
"Such a beautiful starlight, I should have drunk a pot of good wine and accompanied by a beauty. But now there are no wine and beauties, I hope your story will not disappoint me!" Du Lengqiu didn't care at all that this old guy was dressed as a thief, he was still calm and calm, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
The more this was the case, the greater the pressure in Yanyun Diaosuo's heart, he thought about the wording, and said in a deep voice: "In the Northwest Martial Arts, there was a family of thieves, surnamed Ouyang, who was famous for his light skills.
An elder of the Ouyang family once robbed thousands of families at night in Chang'an and became famous all over the world. However, although the Ouyang family has a lot of money, their youngest son, Ouyang Hao, does not like the name - thief. His father smoked thorns for ten years, and he never changed. When the boy was a little older, he immediately fled from home. He vowed to make a name for himself with his upright martial arts. To be a bright and upright person, you must win glory for the Ouyang family. ”
"There are countless conspiracies and betrayals on the rivers and lakes, righteousness and blood, this young man named Ouyang Hao has gone through hardships, been born and died several times, and finally stepped into the innate realm. The young man is ambitious, he is ready to return to the Ouyang family after becoming famous, and let his father see that living openly and honestly can be very exciting! But before he became famous, the Ouyang family has been wiped out. ”
Yanyun Yusuo's facial features are distorted, and he looks hideous and terrifying. He laughed weirdly, "This is also retribution." Because of the large amount of property, the Ouyang family was forcibly requisitioned by the official army for military expenses. Everyone in the family resisted, but under the endless rain of arrows, none of them escaped. ”
"The boy wants to avenge his family and sneaks into the general's mansion. However, the general's martial arts are really terrifying and abnormal, although he is also a congenital master, but he seriously injured the young man in more than ten moves. Although he escaped by luck and changed his name to Zhu Hao, because of serious injuries, he still lingered in the innate realm after more than 20 years on the rivers and lakes. And the general has long been a world-famous grandmaster, high in the temple, and has a prominent official position. ”
"Now, that young man is already dying, if he can't practice Gang Qi as soon as possible and become a martial arts master, he is afraid that he will die. Just as he was getting more and more desperate, a subtle hope came again, and a young grandmaster promised him help. He couldn't wait less than three years to win the treasure. As a last resort, he used the thief skills he had cultivated under his father's thorns when he was young. ”
But fate once again taunted him, and the boy broke his oath and became a thief, but found nothing. ”
"That's my story. ”
After Yanyun Yusuo finished speaking, he closed his eyes.
Du Lengqiu held his chin and commented: "It's really not a good story! A good story must have sunshine and blood, a reunion, and all the beauty in the world." ”
Stretching, Du Lengqiu yawned, "Okay, the story has been heard." It's not early, rest early. Tomorrow, there are still heroes from the three mountains and five mountains who need you to entertain them. ”
Yanyun Yusu opened his eyes violently, and a pair of bean-sized eyes were full of surprise, "You won't kill me?"
"I'm not a thug to kill. Besides, you're still a little useful. I will be rewarded for my merits, and you don't have to wait three years for that long. Do a good job!" Du Lengqiu jumped off the roof and waved as he walked.
Yanyun Yusuo looked at Du Lengqiu's back with a deep gaze.
After returning to the bedroom, Du Lengqiu lit the oil lamp and couldn't sleep.
Taking advantage of the starlight, Du Lengqiu considered his shortcomings in strength. This time, the roof directly stepped on the tiles, although it was mainly because he had never practiced light exercises, but the lack of subtlety of the control of the innate Gang Qi was also an important factor.
Looking back on the past, on Chiyang Mountain, the acquired, congenital, and gangqi were practiced overnight, and they crossed the course of other people for decades, which lacked the dry sitting and polishing day and night, and when it came to subtle control, the degree of subtlety was not enough.
It may not be a hidden danger now, but with the gradual growth of strength, this may become the cause of the rout. As the so-called embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, it had to be prevented.
But how to prevent it left him at a loss.
Du Lengqiu sat cross-legged on the bed, ready to carry the true qi, but he couldn't calm down no matter what. In desperation, I could only run to the study.
Grinding ink, dipped in pen and ink, and swaying out a treatise on the past Qin, he immediately became clear and clear. He sat down cross-legged and carried Zhou Tian, the innate true qi rose from the dantian, and ran in the twelve canons and the eight veins of the strange meridians. When the innate true qi is transported, the blood god naturally communicates with the vitality of heaven and earth, and the vitality is integrated into the flesh and bones bit by bit, improving the physique.
Cultivation does not know the years.
Sitting in the middle of the night, Du Lengqiu felt that his strength had improved slightly, but this did not help him in controlling his true qi at all. He then put the matter behind him, stood up and looked at the entire study.
The thread-bound books are still neatly arranged.
The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone did not move at all.
Tables, chairs and benches, calligraphy and paintings on the walls are exactly the same as in the past. Even the information on the table was in order, exactly the same as when he left.
Du Lengqiu sighed and praised: "The thieves of later generations should really learn from the ancestors of this thief, and don't always look like bandits crossing the border." It seems that there may be other uses for this smoke cloud fishing. ”
Push the door out, and the breeze is cool.
Taking a breath of fresh air with the river breeze in his mouth, Du Lengqiu strode out. He decided to reason with Luo Qi, and the information provided by this guy made him catch a fake, and five thousand taels of silver couldn't just be given to him. This time, if he is not allowed to use his strength to dig out some deep information, he must not be easily bypassed.
was thinking about how to talk to Luo Qi later, when someone on the side yelled at him.
"Childe, I've got some helpers too. ”
Du Lengqiu turned his head to look, and saw Li Meng wearing a blue coat open, and his black chest was showing overgrown chest hair, and he was running over with joy on his face.
"Young master, I have found all the senior brothers, junior brothers, uncles and uncles of the Iron Arm Gate, and my senior uncle and ancestor are also here. This time, we are all in the same place, and we can definitely help Childe. ”
Du Lengqiu was a little speechless, although the more cannon fodder, the better. But if it hurts others all over the house, it's a little embarrassing.
But this kind of thing is not easy to persuade clearly.
"Ahem, that Li Meng. Your uncle is old, don't let him run around. Also, you young people from the Iron Arm Gate, it's time to lay the foundation, so it's better not to go back and forth. ”
Li Meng shook his head like a rattle, "No, three hundred taels of silver per person, this is a lot of money, and they won't leave." ”
"Well, when I didn't say it. ”
Du Lengqiu was speechless, turned his head and left.
As the saying goes: people die for money, birds die for food, and the ancient lessons are like this, it seems that people really can't be insatiable. In this way, am I far away from Chenghuang, leaving Dongmu with my family and setting up another family business?
Li Meng followed closely behind and shouted: "Young master, young master, my uncle has been practicing darts for sixty years, and he is very experienced, can you give three thousand taels of silver according to the standard of a congenital master?"
"Young master, young master......"
Du Lengqiu ran faster.
Soon, Du Lengqiu arrived at the gate of Muyunzhuang, but happened to see Luo Qi, who was dressed in blue casual clothes, riding a bantam horse with white spots on a red background, with smoke and dust flying, followed by a young man sweating profusely.
Seeing Du Lengqiu, Luo Qi hurriedly beckoned and shouted: "Virtuous nephew, Zi'an virtuous nephew, I have important news this time." ”
