Chapter 35: Chasing the Thief
Wen Liang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.
But I heard "Driving Langzhong" say: "This is not in the house, how dare you call it like that?" Too careless. ”
The man said proudly: "I have arranged for someone to investigate the surroundings clearly, this place is safe, and the commander can speak with confidence, and there is no need to worry about it." ”
Only then did Wen Liang understand that he was in a hurry to support himself, just to grab this bit of credit, and he hated this person's behavior even more in his heart.
However, as soon as these words came out, the two people in the room stopped talking for a while, and then they heard a sound of cautious rummaging and knocking, and shaking the doors and windows slightly, obviously doing a detailed investigation.
When renovating the post house, this was specially taken into account, and the anomalies in the walls were properly covered, so naturally these two goods would not find out the mistakes.
After a while, the "Frame Langzhong" continued: "Even if this is the case, the big thing is undecided, and you can't take it so lightly. ”
But he heard the man pretend to be mysterious: "The commander does not know yet, but the great thing has been decided." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
The man's voice was a little quieter, and he replied, "There are still His Majesty's men in the city. The Commander will naturally know if he sees it. ”
"Who?"
"Driving Langzhong" had this question, and Wen Liang immediately took precautions.
"Since he is a confidant of His Majesty, I can't say it at this time, after the commander meets this person, he will know how much credit he has in Tongcheng now."
The man was also cautious, and he really didn't reveal half of his identity in his speech. He is full of scheming that he is going to climb the branch of the new upstart, and he will not reveal this opportunity to others.
And the "driving department" is suspicious, and only says that he will arrange it.
Wen Liang also understood from the words of the two of them that the eldest prince Tang Xianyao had already asked people to call himself "Your Majesty" in the mansion.
After that, he didn't say anything important, but just conveyed the old instructions as they were, and only when the man had the intention of leaving, did Wen Liang withdraw from the dark room and go to the door of the post house to pretend to answer.
The man met Wen Liang again, and even thought of going to see him and regain his life. Wen Liang simply didn't even say anything to him, and took him directly back to the courtyard behind the mansion.
Seeing that Wen Liang refused, the man did not force it. When he met with "Driving Langzhong", he had already figured out that he was familiar with all kinds of personnel contacts under the door of the eldest prince, which was the most valuable place for him to the beautiful lord.
With this side, he will be able to compete for a place in the future.
Wen Liang naturally didn't know what he was thinking about all day, and when the matter was done, he went straight back to the eldest lady.
In another place, Liu Zhu returned to his mansion safely, he heard a lot of strange noises along the way, but he didn't even dare to raise his head, just walked by himself.
The person on duty on one of his roads tonight happened to be the newly appointed inspector Jin Xuan.
Due to the haste in taking office, Jin Xuan's official uniform has not yet been made. But now that she has been promoted to Tongcheng, it is not appropriate to wear the clothes of the previous county lieutenant, so she has been traveling in civilian clothes for the past few days, but it is also convenient.
However, this casual female inspector was standing under the cold moonlight at this time, with long boots and black clothes, tight narrow sleeves, and a piece of cowhide on the chest of the knee, elbow and waistcoat. A sassy and chic heroine.
It's just that her face is quite cold, holding a long whip, her apricot eyes are wide, and she is glaring at the darkness and a person in a night suit.
"Sneaky thief, come out!" Jin Wan didn't wait for anyone to speak, first with a coquettish sound, the long whip was thrown out.
Compared with that day in Qianlong County, the long whip in Jin Wan's hand at this time was more than a foot long, and the whip head was surrounded by an iron ring with a "wide blade" that looked like a knife but not a knife. The blade is only two or three inches long, but it has been polished to a cold light, which shows even more murderous intent.
When he was still in Qianlong County, Jin Xuan's money was really not much, and Li Xun's income was even more pitiful. Jin Wan had to help him from time to time, and he didn't have any extra money.
When he first arrived in Tongcheng, Wen asked Liu Zhu to arrange and first sent him a month's worth of silver.
Li Xun used all the money to borrow a place, selected a good material, and personally punched her this "broad blade". And Jin Wan also happened to use the silver to replace himself with a whip. The two of them also thought of one thing.
Seeing that Li Xun had made this blade, Jin Juan originally felt cumbersome and didn't want to use it in his heart, but after all, Li Xun had good intentions and was afraid of hurting his heart, so he still accepted it, and the combination of the two became the current one.
It's just that people who practice martial arts pay attention to the blade to take advantage of it, and Jin Juan is used to the original one, but now it is replaced, the length has changed, and there are more flower heads, and it took a long time to get used to it. Tonight, I caught up with an urgent errand, so I brought it out, and just stopped the thief who was secretly following Taishou Liu under the cover of the night.
The whip of the Jin Patrol Inspection was only intended to deter, and it was not attacked according to the vital point. The thief's body was also light, and after a few moves, he appeared from the shadows.
"Little lady, don't stand in the way, lest you die here and wronged you." The thief covered his face with a black cloth and a short knife in his hand, and when he saw that it was a woman who stood in the way, he became even more bold.
"It's here late at night, and it's sneaky. Don't talk nonsense with me, and say who you are? Jin Wan put away his whip and scolded.
"Ask me for my name? You're afraid you're looking for death. The thief saw that Jin Wan would not give way, but was approaching him, and simply drew his sword to come forward and slash her.
Seeing him move, Jin Xuan's body did not move, and his right hand rolled a long whip and threw it out from the middle to the front.
When the thief saw the whip, he raised his knife to block it, but he didn't want to use the strength of Jin Xuan skillfully, and it seemed to take him straight to the door, but when it was actually close, the whip head was thrown off, and as the momentum sank down, he slashed a knife in his chest.
The thief only felt a flower in front of him, and felt a pain in his chest, and with this move alone, he understood that he was far from being the opponent of this female inspector. Without saying a word, he turned around and fled into another alley.
Where was Jin Wan willing to let him go like this, and chased after him with a whip. The man suddenly climbed the wall and went up to the house, and suddenly strode and galloped, and his body was very flexible, obviously he had done this kind of errand all year round, and had seen the terrain beforehand. Although Jin Xuan's light skills are not weak, he has let the other party take the lead and is always one step behind him.
Just chased and fled, and crossed the three alleys, the female inspector was forced to be competitive, and she was also afraid of shocking the big man from Lianzhou City and causing trouble to Taishouping. So he couldn't help but call his companions, and only one person chased after him.
Until the corner of an alley, the man wanted to jump up again, not far behind the wall is the Sun family's gambling house, at this time there is no movement outside, but inside is the most lively time, if he runs in to change clothes, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a trace.
