It was past noon when he came out of the county guard's mansion, Shao Xi hadn't slept all night, and he had been drinking and socializing all morning, so he couldn't stay up at this time, so he fell on the bed when he returned to the post house, and slept until late at night when he was woken up by Lao Wu.

"What time is it?" Shao Xi rubbed his eyes and asked.

"It's already three o'clock, it's time for us to go, you hurry up and wash your face."

Lao Wu stood in front of the window, opened the window and looked out, and muttered again, "It seems that I will take you less to those Fengyue Lands in the future, so that you will even delay your cultivation." ”

Shao Xi washed his face and turned his head to complain: "You are embarrassed to say, didn't you take me there?" ”

Lao Wu rolled his eyes and said, "I let you go for fun, but I didn't let you talk to people all night." ”

Shao Xi glanced at the red ribbon tied to his hand, as if he saw Ye Zikite's smile again.

"Don't think about that girl yet, we're going to guard the treasury tonight, hurry up."

When the two walked out of the post house, it was already the middle of the moon, and looking at the full moon in the sky, Shao Xi remembered that it would be a new year in half a month.

Before coming to the treasury, the two saw that the county Cheng Xing Wenxin was already waiting there.

"Two lords, all the manpower has been arranged, except for the people who guard the treasury, all the others are patrolling around the city, divided into two shifts, and now is the time for the handover of the night before and after."

"Is there any arrangement for someone to cast the arrows?" Shao Xi looked left and right and asked.

"Rest assured, my lord, each patrol team has a special person who fires the arrow, and if one of them finds the thief, they will immediately notify each other as a reminder."

Shao Xi nodded, "Lord Xing is really reliable, so leave the rest to us!" Lord Xing has worked hard, go back and rest early! ”

Xing Wenxin arched his hand and said: "Lord Shao has won the award, this is all within the responsibility of the lower officials, since the two adults have arrived, then the lower officials will go back, if there is anything, you can send someone to call me at any time." ”

After speaking, after the two sides simply saluted, Xing Wenxin got into the sedan chair and went back.

Shao Xi and Lao Wu walked around the treasury and took a general look. This Xing Wenxin is really reliable in doing things, not only arranging Kuding to guard the library gate, arranging a patrol team in the courtyard, but also setting up a secret post on the surrounding walls.

After reading it, Lao Wu nodded and said, "Hmm! This arrangement is very thorough, even if I can't catch anyone, at least I can find it in time, so that the treasury silver will not be stolen again, and if it were, I wouldn't choose to start tonight. ”

"Oh? If it were you, what would you choose to do? Shao Xi asked curiously.

"Two choices, the first option is to do nothing tonight......"

Speaking of this, Old Wu paused.

"Don't talk about half of it, can you talk about the second one too?"

"This second option is to start in a different place, in short, it can't be here."

"So, if you had made the second choice, where would you start?" Shao Xi asked with his thumb on his chin.

In this regard, Shao Xi believes in Lao Wu's experience very much, and it is much more reliable to analyze thieves from the perspective of a thief than to guess blindly.

Lao Wu twisted the few sparse mustaches on his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then it depends on what she wants?" ”

"A thief wants nothing more than money and jewelry, is there anything else?"

"Of course there are, such as the Emerald Feather Sword on your body and the martial arts cheats you cultivate; Or the love and secret letter I wanted to get when I was a secret agent; Or the thieves who pick flowers, they want a woman who sleeps in a bed. ”

Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu with a disgusted expression, and said: "It's not strange to steal divine soldiers, cheats, love secrets, and secret letters, I can't imagine that you can even steal women!" ”

When Lao Wu heard Shao Xi say this, his eyes widened and he argued: "I'm talking about flower thieves, flower thieves!" I'm not a flower thief, what do you think of me? ”

"Who else could you be? He's a thief! ”

Lao Wu glared at Shao Xi fiercely, and shook off an expression of "too lazy to pay attention to you".

Shao Xi bumped Lao Wu with his elbow and asked, "What do you think she will want?" ”

"How do I know what a woman wants? She might want to steal a man now! ”

"Isn't she getting rich tonight? The men on the street steal one and get ten free. ”

Lao Wu was by Shao Xi, this kid is learning badly now, who did he learn from? If you think about it carefully, it seems that you have been learning things from yourself for the past ten years, but you have never taught him this!

————!

Just when the two of them were chatting without saying a word, they suddenly heard a sharp and piercing arrow piercing the night sky, followed by the sound of arrows one after another.

The officials who were in charge of patrolling the defense of the treasury hurriedly looked in the direction of the first arrow, only to hear someone shouting: "Look at the side of the armory, there seems to be a fire on the side of the armory, call someone to put out the fire." ”

Just as the people in charge of the defense of the treasury were about to rush to the treasury to help put out the fire, they were stopped by Shao Xi. This trick of setting fire to the tiger and diverting the tiger from the mountain is often used by thieves, so it has to be guarded against.

"All of you are here to stay here, and the two of us will go and check it out."

After speaking, Shao Xi and Lao Wu ran towards the direction of the burning Jiaku.

Along the way, Shao Xi was still secretly wondering that this armor warehouse was where the documents and account books were stored, why did a thief come to such a place if he had nothing to do? Could it be that the poor family can't even afford to buy books, so they want to steal the official family's documents to read?

Just when the two of them were only halfway away, they suddenly noticed a figure passing by on the roof of a nearby house, and the two glanced at each other, and chased towards the black shadow in unison.

The figure was indeed a woman from the shape of the body, and the body was light, extremely fast, and it was as light and flexible as a swallow flying in the air between the roofs, silently, if it were not for Shao Xi and the others staring at the figure, it would be almost impossible to judge her direction through the sound.

Although Shao Xi and Lao Wu are already very good in body, the woman in front of them also has excellent body skills, so they have been chasing all the way down, and they have never been able to catch up.

In this way, the three of them almost turned around in Qingshan City, and the distance between them was always not far away. Chasing behind, Lao Wu gradually fell behind Shao Xi, and ran for a while, Lao Wu's voice came from behind.

"No, this little lady is so good at running, I can't run, I have to rest for a while, it's up to you next."

Shao Xi turned around and threw down the sentence "You old guy is lazy again", and continued to chase after the black shadow.

Lao Wu sat on a ridge, out of breath, about to lose his breath, and muttered unconvinced, "You said that I am an old guy, I am so old, and you still compare me with you?" I don't know how to respect and respect the elderly. ”

Regardless of whether Shao Xi heard it or not, anyway, he took off the wine jug from his waist and sat on the roof to drink, which made people seriously suspect that he was a drunkard and wanted to take the opportunity to take two sips.

Shao Xi chased all the way like this for a while, and he began to be a little impatient in his heart, when will he become a leader if he continues to chase like this?

So, the Emerald Feather Sword was unsheathed. I saw an emerald blue sword aura piercing the air and flying straight ahead of the black shadow. The man also seemed to feel the sword qi behind him, and his figure turned around to avoid this sword qi, but he was still half a minute slower, and the corners of the night clothes were torn off by the sword qi, and Shao Xi, who arrived behind him, took it in his hand.

The figure in front of him paused, and seemed to be startled by the sword, and hurriedly lifted his body and walked quickly, leaping into a courtyard and disappearing. When Shao Xi chased him to the courtyard, he had already disappeared, and disappeared without a trace.

Shao Xi searched left and right, but still found nothing, so he went uproom and looked around several nearby houses for a while, but still did not find the whereabouts of the figure, and returned to the courtyard where the thief had disappeared just now.

"Isn't that a living hell? Why did you disappear in a blink of an eye? Either she'll fly away, or she'll hide in a nearby house. Shao Xi thought to himself in his heart.

While Shao Xi was making all kinds of guesses in his heart, he only heard a "squeak" door, and the door of the house in the courtyard was opened, and out of the door came a woman wearing a long robe, holding a candlestick, and a tired face.

When the woman looked at Shao Xi, there was a look of surprise on her face, and at the same time, Shao Xi's face also showed an incredible expression, and the two recognized each other at the same time.

"Young Master Shao!"

"Purple Kite Girl!"

The two called out to each other in unison, and laughed in unison.

Ye Ziyuan gently saluted: "Why did Childe come here late at night? ”

"There are thieves in the city tonight, and I am assisting the government in chasing down the thieves, why is the purple kite girl here?"

"Childe is really forgetful, this is Lanxiufang! Of course I live here. ”

Shao Xi looked around again, and said with an embarrassed face: "This black light is blinding, I was chasing it in a hurry just now, and I really didn't recognize that this is actually Lanxiufang for a while." ”

Ye Ziyuan covered her mouth and smiled: "I just heard a noise outside in the house, and I thought it was a thief who ran to me, but I didn't admit that I saw Shao Gongzi as soon as I opened the door, if you didn't say it, I thought you were the thief!" ”

When Shao Xi heard Ye Ziyuan say this, he realized that this was someone else's girl's boudoir, and he ran to someone else's girl in the middle of the night, which was too easy to be misunderstood.

"The girl is not strange, she was really in too much hurry just now, so she suddenly broke into the girl's boudoir, which is really rude, and I will make amends to the girl."

Shao Xi bowed to Ye Ziyuan and apologized.

Ye Ziyuan smiled and said to Shao Xi: "Isn't it a kind of fate that the son can chase the thieves to my house late at night?" It just so happens that the moonlight is just right tonight, so why don't you accompany me to drink and enjoy the moon! ”

"Huh?"

This pursuit of thieves can actually chase down a flower before the moon, Shao Xi really didn't expect it. But the beauty is now, should he accompany the Ziyuan girl to drink and enjoy the moon? Or do you want to keep catching thieves?

"What, isn't Childe willing?"

"No, no, no, I can't ask for it."
