『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 23 The troubles of the second son of Wen

The moon rises, the summer is slightly cool, and the most pleasant thing at this time is to lie on the bed and sleep comfortably, but there is that annoying thing, which makes people not have a good rest.

At this point, in Ju Nan Wen Mansion, the lights are still on in the second son's house. After sending off tonight's first guest, "Cold Sword" Xu Shaofeng, the second son's night work has just begun.

"Second brother. With a greeting, the eldest prince Wen Haowen came from outside the house.

"Big brother, how are you talking about the fourth brother?" Wen Hao, who had just sat down, raised his head slightly and asked hopelessly.

"What else, the fourth brother insists on competing, and I can't persuade him. Wen Haowen sat down opposite him with a helpless face, "How did you talk to 'Han Jian'?"

Wen Haocai rubbed his forehead, "Alas, having a fourth brother is enough for a headache." Unexpectedly, this 'cold sword' is also a master who can't be persuased. ”

Wen Haowen said: "I think he Kunlun has no other sect and is also a decent family, 'Han Jian' won't give him no face at all, right?"

The old rivers and lakes all know that walking the rivers and lakes not only relies on martial arts, but also relies on the friendship between various sects. In the face of a family like the Wen family, which can almost call the wind and rain locally, few people will not give face.

"Of course, I was kind enough to persuade him. Wen Haocai spread his hands, "The gold, the beauties, and even the treasure dragon leaping sword of the town house have all been taken out, but he still refuses to let go, and he will definitely compete with the fourth brother." ”

"You even took out the Dragon Leaping Sword!Does my father know about this?" Wen Haowen was taken aback.

"My father has put all the family wealth in my hands. Now that the situation is urgent, I have this authority compared to the treasure in the vault. ”

After a moment of silence, Wen Haowen said: "Such a famous sword has long been snatched on the rivers and lakes, and his 'Cold Sword' can be unmoved as a swordsman?"

Wen Haocai sighed, "I also thought that as soon as this sword came out, the matter would be resolved." Who knew that he not only refused this sword, but also said that he would do his best to compete with the fourth brother. Except for the fourth brother, it was the first time I had encountered such a stubborn and martial-minded swordsman. ”

In this way, this person's personality is very similar to that of the fourth brother. Wen Haowen also sighed, with a bit of blame in his words, "I said a long time ago, since 'Han Sword' is as famous as the fourth brother, don't try him." You don't want to listen, but now it's not a shame. ”

"It's not that the second son doesn't listen to persuasion, it's just because I also want to know what 'Han Jian' is like. As he spoke, a man walked out of the back room. His whole body was wrapped in black tights, and the slightly bulging muscles appeared under the fabric, exuding a capable air from the inside out.

"Big brother, I'll introduce you. Wen Hao invited the man and said, "This is the famous Beijing famous catcher, Liu Xialiang and Liu Zhutou." ”

"Liu catches the head. Wen Haowen stood up politely and saluted.

Liu Xialiang stood and returned the salute and looked at Wen Haowen.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the eldest son of Wen is frail and sick, and all the family wealth is taken care of by the second son of Wen. Seeing that this eldest prince is indeed born with a weak scholarly appearance, it is completely different from the shrewdness and ability of the second son. Even if he has seen the three sons of the Wen family, "Wen, Cai, and Wu", they all live up to their names.

Wen Haowen asked, "I don't know why Liu Zhutou wants to test the 'Cold Sword'?"

Liu Xialiang said: "I have a case involving 'Han Jian', so I ask the second son to help give it a try." In addition, I heard the second son talk about the 'black bat', and the 'cold sword' appeared here at such a time, so I can't help but say that something is strange. ”

Wen Haowen's eyebrows tightened, "I think that the 'Black Bat' is known as the number one thief in the world, and it is enough to be targeted by him, but at this time, the 'Cold Sword' is going to compete with the fourth brother......" Speaking of this, he had a flash of inspiration, "Liu Zhutou wants to test the 'Cold Sword', don't you suspect that he and the 'Black Bat' are accomplices?"

Liu Xialiang shook his head and said, "I was a little skeptical, but now it seems that the 'Cold Sword' and the 'Black Bat' are not the same passerby. ”

Wen Haowen asked, "What did Liu Zhutou say?"

Liu Xialiang said: "After the second prince tried the 'Cold Sword' tonight, it can be seen that the 'Cold Sword' is not a person who can impress with interests, he really wants to compete with the fourth prince. Moreover, although 'Cold Sword' and 'Black Bat' are both famous, they are fundamentally different. 'Black Bat' is famous for being a thief, but 'Cold Sword' is famous for being a chivalrous man. He had hunted down thieves and thieves alone many times, and I don't think it was possible for someone like him to join forces with the Black Bat. ”

Wen Haocai said: "Then according to Liu Zhutou's opinion, why did the 'Han Sword' come so coincidentally?"

Liu Xialiang said: "The world is unpredictable, and I don't dare to make assertions before the water comes out." As things stand, all we can do is defend us. After a pause, he said, "Listening to the second prince, the 'black bat' has visited the Wen Mansion twice at night, the first time to explore the terrain of your mansion, and the second time it went straight to the star-picking tower where the fourth prince was waiting, it seems that he is bound to get the treasures of your mansion." ”

Wen Haocai sighed, "The 'Black Bat' is the number one thief today. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the treasures he is eyeing have never been missed. Now that it is an eventful time, those two sword idiots are determined to compete at this time, and they really don't know the severity. ”

Liu Xialiang thought for a while and asked, "The situation is urgent, what is the treasure of your mansion, I don't know if you can tell one or two?"

Wen Haocai said: "It's a shame to say that although the three of us brothers were ordered by our father to guard this treasure, only my father knows what this treasure is. I only vaguely know from my father's words that this treasure has a great relationship with the development of the Wen family, and my father's retreat is also related to this treasure. ”

"This treasure is really as mysterious as the rumors in the rivers and lakes. Liu Xia thought about it.

Wen Haocai and Wen Haowen glanced at each other, and the latter nodded slowly to him.

Wen Haocai said sincerely: "I don't have to hide it from Liu Zhutou now. Some time ago, my father wrote to the Ministry of Rites, saying that after his birthday, he would send his fourth brother to protect the treasure into Beijing and dedicate this treasure to the current saint. And Lord Shangshu also wrote back that he would send troops to escort him. ”

The treasures that can alarm the Book of Rites must not be idle things. Liu Xialiang pondered for a moment and said, "Once the treasure is returned to the treasury, it will be difficult to reappear in the rivers and lakes. Could it be that the 'black bat' knew about this, so he stepped up his action?"

The Wen brothers looked at each other again, and they both saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

Wen Haocai was worried, "This matter is extremely secret, except for my father, only the three of us brothers in the Wen Mansion know about it, but I don't know where the 'black bat' came from?"

Wen Haowen said: "What's annoying is that the fourth brother said that for tomorrow's competition, he wants to retreat and practice tonight. The matter of his martial arts competition with the 'Cold Sword' has been known all over the city, and it is thought that the 'Black Bat' will be ready to move. My father had an agreement with the Ministry of Rites that if the treasure was lost in the Wen Mansion before this, the Wen Mansion would probably be punished for the crime of bullying the king. ”

Liu Xialiang said: "Since Liu has encountered the matter of 'black bat', he should do his best. ”

Wen Haocai and Wen Haowen were surprised, and saluted at the same time: "In this way, there will be Lao Liu catching his head!"

Liu Xialiang returned the courtesy, "The two sons don't have to be polite. ”

......

Late at night, people can't sleep, Wen Yong is patrolling around with a team of vigil villagers.

Ten years ago, Wen Yong was not called Wen Yong. Together with his friends, he made a lot of fame in the rivers and lakes with a quick knife in his hand. In a tragic fight, Wen Yong was seriously injured and his friend was unfortunately killed. After the injury was healed, Wen Yong suddenly got tired of the days of licking blood with his knife head. At this time, Wen was invited at night, so he changed his name and surname and became the second head of the Wen Mansion.

These days, there are thieves in the Wen Mansion, which makes everyone sleep badly, but Wen Yong has no complaints. Compared with the swords and swords on the rivers and lakes in the past, the current few nights of sleepless are really nothing.

Wen Yong cheered up the villagers while paying attention. This team of Zhuang Ding follows him all the year round, and he carefully selects them, all of whom are locals who know their roots. Although the martial arts are not considered to be successful, the character is extremely reliable, but the lack of actual combat experience is just the opportunity to sharpen it.

The building is quiet, the night is like ink, and the trees shake and the leaves drift. The dark night always gives people boundless reverie, but "the jade step is born with white dew, and the night invades Luo socks for a long time." Such feelings are only suitable for poets, not for people like Wen Yong. Just as the fall of flowers and leaves does not come from beautiful sorrow, but from someone hiding in them.

"Who's there!" Wen Yong drew his knife in his hand, pointing alarmistly at the flower tree a few steps away.

With his cheers, the Zhuang Ding shook their spirits, and "uproar" surrounded them, and the direction placed was the Wen family's family heirloom formation, and there were masters here, and it was difficult to escape for a while.

"Oh yes, I stay in such a secret place, and I can be discovered by you, I really deserve to be the first team of Wenfu Guardian Village. Among the flowers and trees, a person lazily praised, but there was no sincerity in his tone.

"Third Young Master. When he saw the man clearly, Wen Yong couldn't help frowning, "It's so late, why are you here?"

"You might as well guess. Childe smiled lazily at night, and pulled a woman from behind the tree and held her in his arms.

The woman was slender and sexy, with a good figure with bumps and bumps. The heavy makeup and glamorous makeup are especially attractive under the faint moonlight.

Wen Yong's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of disdain: Everyone in the Wen Mansion knew that this so-called third young master was an illegitimate child. He is frivolous and debauched, and rumors and scandals about him are endless. However, although no one secretly thinks that he is the third young master, he does not break it on the surface.

"The second young master has issued an order from the head of the village, and the whole village will be under martial law tonight, please don't move around at will!" Wen Yong put on a businesslike face.

"Is there such a thing?" Childe Ye looked regretful, "Then can you go to the Flower Stamen Pavilion?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Can I go to the Wind Pavilion?"

"No, you can't. ”

"Where's Luoming Lake?"

"You can't go to Lingfeng Pavilion, and you can't go to Luoming Lake. ”

"You can't go here, you can't go there, it's a real problem. Childe complained at night, and asked, "Can you go to the Man Dance Pavilion?"

"Can't!" Wen Yong's eyes began to fire. Obviously said not to move around at will, and deliberately asked, are you as idle as you are?

"Okay, okay, Mingcuiyuan can always go. Childe Ye looked like he was reluctant.

"No! this is Mingcui Garden!!" Wen Yong finally couldn't help but yell.

"If you have something to say, what are you angry about? Childe plucked his ears at night, "Such a good night, where do you think I should go?"

"Please go back to the room immediately, Third Young Master!" Wen Yong took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger. Compared with the cold Fourth Young Master, it is easy to "catch a cold", but this Third Young Master is even more "angry".

"Ben Gongzi knows. Childe shrugged his shoulders indifferently and turned around with his arms around the beauty.

Under the eyes of Wen Yong and the Zhuang Ding, he waved his hand in a chic manner while holding the beauty, and walked away leisurely.

A Zhuang Ding suddenly had an idea, "The third young master appeared here at this time, do you think he will be a thief?"

"With his kind of mud that can't hold up the wall, if he is a thief, he must have that ability. Another Zhuang Ding sneered.

The other Zhuang Ding laughed.

"What nonsense, patrol well. Wen Yong reprimanded majestically, but he felt the same way in his heart.
