651 The thief who steals the crockpot
"Isn't it!" The shopkeeper didn't notice Xiao Xuan's strange appearance, and continued, "My guy just inquired about the news, if it weren't for the empress's insistence, he would have to finish inspecting the last village, Qinglong Xingjun would have thought about it hastily and sent her away."

"Isn't the last village just us?" said Xiao Lingjue, who was secretly happy in her heart.
When I first settled here with Momo, it was because this was the village closest to the mountains. It is not only convenient for her to go into the mountains to find medicinal herbs to treat ink and ink, but also remote enough that it is not easy to expose her huge treasures. This huge treasure naturally refers to the white tiger dagger where Aunt Mei lives. A quasi-artifact with a spirit is not known in such a small village, but it may not be necessary to go to a big town.
The disadvantage is naturally that the news is not clear, she has actually coveted the Qinglong Xingjun for a long time, but she has no choice but to travel far away, and the Xingjun Mansion is heavily defended. Wouldn't this be a great opportunity?
"When are they coming here?" asked Xiao Lingjue impatiently.
The shopkeeper only said that she was inquiring about the time when the empress left, and did not think much about it, "I heard that after noon today, the empress should be able to arrive." Miss Ding, don't worry, if it's fast, the herbs will be delivered tomorrow. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Shopkeeper, then I'll come back to you tomorrow!" Xiao Lingjue gave Uncle Shopkeeper a sweet smile and waved goodbye.
Leaving the door of the drugstore, she did not return home, as usual, but pretended to wander casually, occasionally crouching down and haggling with the roadside vendors. In this way, she slowly walked to the end of the street.
The gate of the village is not far away, and further away is a fairly straight and wide loess road. Perhaps because the Empress and the Blue Dragon Star Monarch were about to arrive, on weekdays, there were occasional travelers on the road, and only the breeze whipped up the dust, which looked very desolate.
Xiao Jue took out a piece of nitrated animal skin, spread it directly on the ground like other vendors, and took out a few rough small clay pots and placed them on the animal skin.
Each crockpot was only the size of a palm, and the mouth of the jar was sealed with the grease of the spirit animal, making it impossible to understand what was inside.
A few idlers watched for a while, and when they saw that the stall owner was a little girl, they sat down and played with the mud on the ground without saying a word, laughed for a while, and then dispersed.
"I also said that there is something good, it turns out that it is a little doll with a clay jar that he has pinched himself, and he has played with it!"
Xiao Lingjue pursed her lips and said secretly in her heart: "If I wasn't reluctant to use a jade bottle and didn't know how to burn porcelain, would I use such an ugly clay jar!"
Fortunately, she didn't mean to drink, and she didn't bother to fight with the idlers, but from time to time she looked at the loess road leading to the village.
The sun gradually rose, and as noon approached, Xiao Jue took out a white-flour bun from a small bamboo basket, held it in her hand, and nibbled on it in small bites. Although she can already open the valley, among this group of vendors gnawing on the legs of spirit beasts, it is too conspicuous to eat nothing. How could she be suspicious before the goal arrived?
She stared at the outside of the village, but she didn't know that she had already attracted attention.
Mo Chengqing and Xuan Jue, who were watching from afar, clearly saw a young woman dressed as a maid, hidden above the village, looking at her with interest for a long time, and when she left, she waved her sleeves and took away a small crockpot in front of her.
Xuan Jue pointed at the maid and was speechless for a long time, "It turns out that my crockpot was really stolen by her at that time!
Xiao Lingjue, who was gnawing on the white-flour steamed bun, also seemed to inadvertently bow her head at this time, and her complexion suddenly changed greatly, and the steamed buns in her hand fell back into the basket at once.
"One, two, three, four...... No, no! I had five bottles, but there were only four left!" she whispered to herself, her eyes warily looking around her.
"Impossible! These people can't do it!" Xiao Xuanjue was a little anxious.
The reason why she dared to swagger alone in this village was because don't look at these people looking strong, in fact, her cultivation is very different from her!
When she just landed in this place where birds don't, she was already a Yuan Baby! After wandering around with Momo over the years, she basically figured out this era when Jindan could be called king and hegemon, and her cultivation was gradually promoted to the god of transformation. Even so, she was still cautious, how could she let someone touch a bottle under her nose today!
"Could it be that I remembered wrong? It's not impossible, Momo's condition is getting worse and worse, I must be distracted!"
Xiao Lingjue saw the end of the loess road, and suddenly smoke and dust rose everywhere, and reluctantly comforted herself, then cheered up and stared at the slowly approaching carriages and horses on the road.
The so-called carriage and horse are really a cart and a horse. Immediately riding a young man with impatience written on his face, wearing armor, he was worth a lot of money at a glance, and there was no doubt that he was the Qinglong Star Monarch.
The car is a floating incense cart in the low altitude, decorated with colorful silk cloth, and there are no livestock pulling the cart, but it can automatically follow the Qinglong Xingjun and move forward slowly.
"This Qinglong Xingjun is really sloppy!" Even Xiao Xuanjue, who was very unwelcoming to the empress, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "Isn't he afraid of offending the empress and removing him from the position of Xingjun?"
On the incense cart, Su Xiaoxiao, the maid who stole the small clay pot, handed the clay pot to the empress who was sitting in the car as if offering a treasure, and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, you don't know, there is a little girl in this village who is very funny! She looks so beautiful and dresses like a person in our atrium, but she sells such a small bottle like a small merchant and a hawker." ”
The empress glanced at her, and the charm she revealed destroyed the original serious aura, "You bought this from someone else?"
"Then how can you! You ordered me to go to explore the way secretly, how could I alarm them? I came by the way!" Su Xiaoxiao was not ashamed, but a little proud.
"Nonsense!" the empress reprimanded with a straight face, "I'll make up the money to others later! It's not easy for a little girl to come out to make a living, and you still go to make trouble." I'm patrolling on behalf of the heavens, and it's a 'bully' like you who is checking. ”
"Okay, I know! This little crockpot is not worth anything, I'll give her more to make up for it later, and I'll give her a crush. Your Excellency, you can bypass me!" Su Xiao said.
"It's not big, it's not small!" the empress reached out and threw the small crockpot back.
"Gollum"
Su Xiaoxiao caught it and looked at the crockpot that had just made a noise in a daze, "There are still things in it? I thought she was selling small jars! I don't know what is inside, if it is very valuable, then she must not be in a hurry?"
She looked at the crockpot, and soon found the mouth sealed with grease, poked it open, and suddenly a fresh fragrance permeated the whole car.
"It's over! This time it's a disaster!" Su Xiaoxiao only sniffed lightly, and then became frustrated.
