Let's say that Long Zixi heard the prince tell the truth, although he couldn't believe it, he also felt that the prince was indeed malicious, and suddenly remembered a few things, and said in his heart:

You are benevolent, I am righteous, and I can't let you underestimate me.

Sidewalk:

"The prince is benevolent and righteous, and I admire Long Zixi very much. There are a few words that cannot be left unsaid. ”

Prince Road:

"Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Long Zi Xinai is an open-minded person, seeing that the prince and the immortals of the Western Regions have not mentioned the art of war, he said:

"The "Taigong Art of War" is a family heirloom of the Lu brothers, and it has something to do with the country and the nation.

"Ming people don't do dark things, the art of war has been taken back by us, but we can't return it to the prince, and I hope the prince understands."

The immortal of the Western Regions was taken aback when he heard this:

Why, the art of war was stolen by them?

The prince didn't find out?

Or did you find out and didn't say it?

But seeing that the prince was not surprised, he waved his hand:

"Robbing the "Taigong Art of War" is all the intention of my father, and I am not very enthusiastic in the first place.

"In the eyes of the crown prince, whether it is the country or the nation, once there is a fight, the only way to win is to take drastic measures and win by force, how can we do it with or without the art of war?

"To tell the truth, Prince Ben has already discovered that the art of war has been stolen, but he has not made a noise. I don't care.

"This section is over, and there is no need to mention it."

Long Zixi nodded and said:

"So much for the best.

"There is another thing, the "Open Heaven Sword Spectrum" under is the painstaking work of my father and uncle all my life, and it is not given to others for no reason.

"The immortal got that half of the sword spectrum, but he had a plan below!"

The prince knew that the immortals of the Western Regions had obtained half of the sword spectrum.

It's just that he knows that his master is fond of martial arts, and although he thinks that it is not fair and honest to exchange the sword book for Yin Jifu, he didn't say anything.

Hearing Long Zixi say that he had a plan, he couldn't help asking:

"I don't know what the young man has to worry about?"

Longzi West Road:

"In the next meaning, I will ask the immortals to draw the way, and I will take it back with real kung fu."

When the prince heard this, he turned to ask the immortals of the Western Regions:

"What does Master mean?"

The immortal of the Western Regions rolled his eyes, and said in his heart:

If I don't agree, the prince may let me hand over the sword book, how can I refuse? It's better to have a problem, and it won't be possible to let them succeed.

After thinking about it, he said:

"That being the case, the old man is willing to obey the order.

"Hehe, the old man heard that when he was in that country, there was a matter of outwitting the night pearl on the young man's side.

Later, in Shen Guo, he unknowingly stole the art of war.

"Seeing that the young heroes are very good at stealing, it is better for the old man to put the sword book in one place, and the young man will steal it again.

"If you can steal it, the sword will return to its original owner.

"I can't steal it, I can't say it, the sword book can only belong to the old man.

"How?"

When it comes to "outwitting" and "being very good at stealing", he is sarcastic.

The prince listened to it interestingly, look at Long Zixi.

Long Zixi replied briskly:

"Well, that's it! I just don't know, where does the immortal want to put that sword spectrum? ”

The immortal of the Western Regions smiled:

"Then please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and everyone to come with the old man!"

Everyone got up and followed the immortals of the Western Regions out of the room.

The immortal took his head and left the prince's mansion, walked a short distance, and came to a garden.

Entering the garden, walking without a hundred steps, I saw a stone tower early, about three zhang high, one zhang five feet square.

The immortal of the Western Regions pointed to the stone tower and smiled slightly:

"This is it. How about the old man put the sword book on a table on the third floor? ”

Long Zixi nodded:

"But by the will of the immortals. It's just that we can take a closer look? ”

The immortal smiled:

"Of course you can, even if you go into the tower and have a look. Come with me. ”

And they came near to the tower.

Long Zixi walked around the stone tower and watched carefully.

But I saw that the tower was made of large pieces of bluestone, and the walls were smooth.

There is only one south gate to that tower.

From the window, the tower has five floors, narrower and narrower the higher it goes, and at the top of the tower, there is a chimney exposed.

The window was not large, and was nailed with a fork of wood, and even the other, the eaves were so narrow that there was no place to stand.

Looking around, there are some large trees within about seven or eight feet, and there is even one tree, very tall, with a side branch diagonally across the top of the tower.

After looking at the outside, the immortals of the Western Regions led everyone into the tower again.

As soon as they entered the tower, everyone smelled a slight musty smell, thinking that it was because they had not lived in it for a long time.

Look at the first floor, except for a fireplace on the north wall, but there is not much to do.

Curious about the fireplace, he leaned over to look at it, and then put his head inside.

Everyone went up to the second floor, and saw that it was similar to the first floor, except for the fireplace, except for some sundries piled up in a corner, which was full of dust.

Going up to the third floor, it was slightly different, there was a four-legged square table against the east wall, full of dust, and there was a half-cut candle on the table, which looked like it hadn't been lit for a long time.

The immortal of the Western Regions smiled:

The old man put the sword book on this table, and the young man had the ability to steal it. Hey. ”

Long Zixi also ignored him.

Everyone continued to look at the fourth and fifth floors, which were similar and nothing special.

When he was on the third floor, Qin Shijie took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention and pushed the window with his hand, but found that it was very strong, how could he push it? I couldn't help but shake my head, my brows furrowed.

Out of the tower, the immortal of the Western Regions smiled and said:

"How does the young man feel?"

Long Zixi was noncommittal, but the prince muttered:

"This ...... If someone guards the door, how can he get into the tower? ”

I couldn't help but shake my head, feeling that the immortals of the Western Regions would really have problems, but it was inconvenient to say anything.

Longzi West Road:

"Then ask the immortals to set the rules."

The immortals of the Western Regions laughed:

"Good. The old man will arrange four people to guard him, and the young man will steal despite his thoughts.

"However, since it is for stealing, it is not possible to rob it by force, nor can it be used to point points, nor can it be attacked from a distance with a hidden weapon.

"In this way, if one of our people hurts a hair, you can easily lose.

"Also, in the process of stealing, as long as we find out, the theft will fail.

"How?"

At this time, although Long Zixi felt that the conditions were harsh, he had nothing to say, so he could only reply stubbornly:

"Well, that's it."

The immortal of the Western Regions said again:

Dissatisfied with the young man, he said that the old man himself came up with this problem, and he didn't know how to solve it.

"For this reason, the old man is willing to give you ten days, is it enough?

"If it's not enough, it's okay to have a few more days."

Long Zixi smiled:

"Thank you for your understanding! It's just, how to use ten days? In the following view, counting today, it is almost the same in just three days! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

The people on Long Zixi's side all thought, seeing that this question is very difficult, does Long Zixi already have a countermeasure and is confident?

Long Zixi thought:

This question is really difficult and difficult, but if there is a way, it is not difficult, why use ten days?

There is no way, even a hundred days are useless.

In addition, maybe the princess has also gone to Baocheng, why is it delayed here?

What's more, it changes over time, but it's best to fight quickly.

Therefore, although there is no way, there is only a way to go up in the face of difficulties, and first promise to come down.

The prince was overjoyed when he saw that both sides were simply happy, and said:

"Good, good! This prince will be a witness, and no one will regret it! ”

At that moment, the two sides agreed and dispersed.

206

When the immortals of the Western Regions went back, they discussed with their subordinates:

Long Zixi and they want to steal, the most likely thing to use is to divert the tiger from the mountain, the person in charge of guarding only needs to strictly guard one, and if they don't leave the tower gate alive or dead, they have no way to start.

Select people at the moment, and make your own arrangements.

Long Zixi returned to his residence here, and he also hurriedly discussed.

Long Zixi told everyone that in fact, he didn't think of a way, but the situation forced him to accept it first.

Fourth Brother Fang:

Seeing that his brother readily agreed to him, the elder brother said that he had a clever plan, but who knew that he couldn't. But how is this good? ”

Lv Yixiang said:

"If you want to go unnoticed, the best thing to do is to turn the tiger away. But how could the other party not think of this verse? Give us a life and death without leaving the tower gate, isn't there nothing to be done? ”

Qin Shijie thought for a while and said:

"Another idea, to climb the tower, pry the window open, and enter through the window. I just tried it, and although the window is nailed firmly, it doesn't necessarily mean that it won't open! ”

Qin Yingjie shook his head:

"Not to mention that the walls of the tower are so smooth that there is nowhere to stand. How can the window be silent? They must be very delicate, and if they find out, they will fail! ”

Qin Xiongjie slapped his thigh:

"It's a pity that the princess is not there. If she were there, and stun them with that poisonous smoke, she would have succeeded!

"By the way, why don't we go out into the streets? You might be able to find something similar. ”

Qin Yingjie still shook his head:

"In the final analysis, this method is also captured by force, but I am afraid that the immortals of the Western Regions will not recognize it. Besides, where to find it in the eagerness? I found it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement. ”

Everyone thought about it, but they never came up with a good solution.

Na Zhuo Mei put her hand on her cheek, and she also stared and thought, but she never spoke.

The afternoon was spent in the midst of everyone's hard thoughts and meditations.

Look at the late sky, Longzi West Road:

"Anyway, it's not possible for a while, so it's better to eat and rest early. Tonight, when you are ugly, go and see the movement first, and then make plans. ”

So they hurried to eat their supper and packed up their rest.

Long Zixi wanted to tell Lu Yixiang about Lu Zidan's murder, but thinking about the importance of stealing the sword book at the moment, he couldn't help but say nothing.

207

In the second half of the night, at the beginning of the ugly hour, Long Zixi aroused everyone.

I didn't want to call Zhuo Ermei, but Zhuo Mei had already gotten up and had to go with everyone.

In the end, it was agreed that Long Zixi, Qin Shijie, the two brothers of the Fang family, Lu Yixiang, plus Zhuo Ermei, the six of them went to explore the tower, and the eldest brother of the Qin family, the second brother and the girl of the subordinate stayed in the residence.

The six of them made it to the garden without a hitch.

At this time, it was past midnight, and everything was quiet, and I could vaguely see some light under the stone tower.

The six of them sneaked up and approached the stone tower.

And behold, there were four torches on each side of the gate of the tower.

In front of the door was a table and four chairs, and four people were sitting and eating.

Long Zixi looked at it for a while, thought about it, and made a gesture of throwing something at Qin Shijie.

Qin Shijie understood, groped for a stone on the ground, shook it, threw it into the distance, and made a "pounce" sound.

The four men apparently had heard it, and one immediately stood up and looked at the sound.

Another said:

"What did the third brother do to him? Didn't the immortals say that they didn't leave the door alive or dead! ”

Another person also looked around and said with a smile:

"Do you dare to be a young man? Hehe, Hugh made that plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. The young man is very capable, but can he do that stealth technique? ”

The other laughed:

"I don't know how to stealth and I don't care, but I can change it. Why don't you fly in with a worm? Ha ha. ”

Everyone was silent, staring and thinking about countermeasures.

But I saw that the four of them had been sitting there, eating wine, talking and laughing, and nothing else.

After staring for a while, Long Zixi said in a low voice:

"Let's go back."

They left the garden and returned to their lodgings.

When they told the Qin brothers about the situation, everyone felt that there was really nothing they could do, and they couldn't help but feel more and more heavy.

After sitting in silence for a while, suddenly, Zhuo Ermei smiled:

"There it is!"

Everyone was shocked and turned their eyes to Zhuo Ermei.

But seeing that Zhuo Ermei was not in a hurry, he said a plan.

The crowd rejoiced!

He decided to continue to rest, prepare for the day tomorrow, and go to the stone tower at the beginning of the evening.

208

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the second night.

Ryuko stopped dressed in a suit and went to the garden alone.

When I approached the stone tower, I peeked and saw that there were still four people at the door, still eating and drinking.

Looking closely through the light of the torches, the immortals of the Western Regions were also among them. I think it's because the stakes are so important tonight that the immortals of the Western Regions are relieved to come and watch them in person.

Long Zixi made up his mind, coughed lightly, and suddenly appeared.

The four of them thought that they knew that someone would come, but they were not very surprised, and only turned their heads to look.

Long Zixi walked to the table, glanced at the wine and food on the table, and smiled slightly:

"Enjoy!"

The immortals of the Western Regions looked at Long Zixi vigilantly and said with a smile:

"Shaoxia is here, do you think you have thought of a way?"

Long Zixi suddenly sank his face:

"Not bad!"

Reach out and grab the immortals of the Western Regions.

The immortal was startled, instinctively jumped away, and shouted:

"Are you going to grab it? That's not counting! ”

Long Zixi said fiercely:

"Yes, if you don't grab it today, wait when!"

As he spoke, he didn't let go of his hand at all, and struck it with two palms in a row.

The immortals of the Western Regions hurriedly parried.

The immortals of the Western Regions thought while fighting:

Perhaps, they really want to grab it?

If that's the case, it's just the four of us here, which is not good!

I also think that with Long Zixi's personality, it seems that he will not be discredited, so why did he do this?

I haven't figured it out yet, but because of distraction, I'm in danger.

Seeing that Long Zixi, his palms were like flying, and a strong palm wind enveloped the immortals of the Western Regions.

The immortals of the Western Regions retreated again and again, retreated straight to the edge of the dining table, and easily picked up the dragon head crutches and parried with all their might.

Long Zixi also drew his sword in his hand and continued to attack blindly.

Fighting and fighting, the two shifted their shapes and changed positions, and Long Zixi turned his back to the stone tower, forcing the Western Regions immortals away from the door step by step.

The three of them didn't dare to leave the door without the permission of the immortals, but just held their blades and watched nervously.

But seeing that Long Zixi had already forced the Western Regions Immortals under the big tree next to him, the sword was only dangling left and right in front of the Western Regions Immortals.

The three of them saw that the immortals in the Western Regions were in danger, and they were about to come over to help.

The immortals of the Western Regions shouted:

"Don't come, guard the door!"

And the three men stopped.

But it was the immortals of the Western Regions who suddenly reacted: Long Zixi clearly wanted to deceive the four of them out of the door!

Thinking of this, the immortals of the Western Regions were no longer panicked, and adjusted their bodies while fighting, and slowly turned their backs to the tower gate, retreating while fighting, and retreated to the stone tower gate after a while.

The three of them saw that the two of them had returned to the door, and the immortals of the Western Regions were still very passive and joined the battle group one after another.

This time, the immortals of the Western Regions did not object again.

While he was fighting, another man sprang out of the woods and shouted:

"Brother, I'm here to help you!"

But it's Qin Shijie.

The five of them fought in front of the stone tower gate for a full meal, and they had already surpassed the lily, and they could be tied.

After another thirty or fifty rounds of fighting, the Western Regions Immortal shouted:

"Long Shaoxia, the tiger does not leave the mountain, do you still want to fight? I persuaded Shaoxia to find another way, but there is only one day left tomorrow, haha! ”

When Long Zixi heard this, he stabbed a sword and jumped out of the circle.

Qin Shijie also withdrew his hand and stood beside Long Zixi.

The immortals of the Western Regions were still sarcastic, and said:

"Shaoxia, your trick is really clumsy. It seems that apart from this trick, there is no good way for the young man. Ha ha! ”

Long Zixi smiled slightly and waved at the woods next to him.

But when I saw the four people walking out, it turned out to be Third Brother Fang, Fourth Brother Fang, Lu Yixiang and Zhuo Ermei.

The third brother Fang was holding a yellow cloth package in his hand and looked at the Western Regions Immortal with a smile.

The immortals of the Western Regions were taken aback, wasn't that half of the sword spectrum?!

209

Let's say that the immortals of the Western Regions saw that the third brother Fang was holding the sword spectrum, and it took a while for him to speak:

"You ...... How did you steal it? ”

Zhuo Ermei took a step forward and said with a smile:

"Immortal, have you forgotten that there is still a little girl?"

The immortals of the Western Regions took a look through the light of the torch, but saw that Zhuo Ermei was dressed in black, with a black scarf covering her head, and a pair of black gloves.

The immortals of the Western Regions suddenly woke up:

"It's you...... Got into the chimney? ”

Zolmeg Yile:

"Look at us people, besides this girl, who else can get in?"

The immortals of the Western Regions understood it all in an instant.

In fact, the immortals of the Western Regions had also thought that the chimney might become a passage into the stone tower, but the chimney space was so narrow that adults could not get into it at all.

The immortals of the Western Regions thought about the people on Long Zixi's side one by one, only Long Zixi was the thinnest, but he couldn't get in, so he didn't take precautions, and only let the guards hold the tower gate tightly, but ignored the smaller Zhuo Ermei.

Long Zixi came to fight him, naturally not to divert the tiger from the mountain, but to distract their attention, but through the big tree behind the tower to the top of the tower, with a rope to hang Zhuo Ermei from the flue to the third floor, and then hang it up after success, naturally it does not take long, and it is not very difficult.

Long Zixi first forced the immortals of the Western Regions away from the tower gate, creating the illusion of wanting to divert the tiger from the mountain.

The immortals of the Western Regions were really fooled, and during the fight, they managed to return to the front of the tower gate.

In fact, it was also Long Zixi who deliberately asked the Western Regions Immortals to do this, otherwise, with Long Zixi's martial arts, it would not be easy for the Western Regions Immortals to change positions at will in the battle.

Then, after the immortals of the Western Regions returned to the door, Long Zixi and Qin Shijie occupied the terrain facing the tower gate, so that the four of them could only face the tower gate with their backs, and they fought very tightly, so how could the four of them find the movement on the top of the tower behind them?

The immortals of the Western Regions figured out this verse, and not only admired the dragon son Xida, but also shook his head frequently, remorseful.

In fact, most of this strategy was conceived by Zhuo Ermei.

How could the immortals of the Western Regions think that such a delicate and weak little girl would have such wisdom!

But the original gamble was lost, and it hindered the prince's face, and the immortals of the Western Regions could only watch the dragon son and the western people hold the sword book in their hands and walk away.
