Bai Yixue and Wang Wan went out of the valley overnight, and when they went down the mountain, the east was already showing the white of the fish's belly.

The two of them walked all the way, and the two sides of the mountain road were full of shrubs, and after leaving the valley, they found that their shoes were covered with mud and their clothes were torn by the bushes, which was quite embarrassing. You look at me, I look at you, I can't help but laugh.

Bai Yixue looked back at the valley, but saw the smoke and clouds in the distance, and the mouth of the valley was covered by a cloud and mist, which was already blurry and difficult to distinguish, and secretly thought: "Mrs. Yuan has lived in this isolated barren valley for many years, and she is alone, but she is actually a poor person. If Master and his old man learn the whereabouts of Master Yuan, I wonder if he will come to look for her and continue the relationship?

Wang Wan saw him looking at the valley in a daze, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Do you still want to go back to the valley? Aren't you afraid that my master will lock you up again?"

Bai Yixue smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to step into the valley for half a step anymore." ”

Wang Wan felt sorry in his heart and said: "It's all blamed on me, if I hadn't dragged you hard, you wouldn't have suffered this predicament." ”

Bai Yixue sighed: "Then I can't complain about you, I only blame me for breaking the rules set by your master in the valley." After a pause, he said, "As soon as we leave, will your master punish your senior sister?"

Wang Wan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Senior Sister Yuan is Master's biological daughter after all, and she has always been regarded as the pearl of her palm, and Master will not be too embarrassed by Senior Sister Yuan." ”

Bai Yixue listened, and felt a little relieved: "Yes, Mrs. Yuan is such a precious daughter, it's too late to love." He said, "That's good, Miss Wang, the matter has come to this, and your master will never beg her again." Let's go and meet the mysterious smiling thief for a while. ”

Wang Wan originally pinched his fingers and counted that it was only two days before the deadline agreed by the smiling thief, but after Bai Yixue was humiliated by the customer, it was difficult to determine whether he would still be willing to help. Along the way, she was secretly thinking about how to open her mouth to him, and when she heard him take the initiative, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and a pair of eyes sparkled with fluorescent light, and said happily: "'If you say it, you will do it.'" Bai Daxia is true to his words, and the little woman is very impressed. ”

Bai Yixue smiled slightly and said, "Let's go." ”

Dongyang City is only a few dozen miles away from the valley, the two of them are very fast, and they entered the city at noon, and Wang Wan led the white-clothed snow straight to the Tongwei Dart Bureau in the south of the city.

Coming to the gate, the white clothes and snow saw that the dart bureau was embroidered and carved, and the plaque on the top of the door was four strong big characters "Tongwei Dart Bureau", and there was a line of golden small characters below: "Wuzhou First Dart Bureau".

Bai Yixue secretly praised in his heart: "What a style!" and then closer, but seeing the dark gate of the dart bureau, the angry eyes and round cocktail head, the fangs hold the door knocker, under the sunlight, it looks even more majestic, on both sides of the gate, there is a pair of red couplets, the pen and ink are strong, and the font is strong:

"Darts travel the world, with three points of laughter, go south and north to harmony is precious, Mao virtue is the foundation; people in the rivers and lakes, seeking a lifetime of stability, wearing the moon and the stars is only safe is a blessing, righteousness first. ”

At the gate of the dart bureau stood seven or eight sturdy and heroic men, and when they saw Wang Wan, everyone's faces showed joy, and they greeted the general one after another, shouting: "Miss, you are back!"

Since his beloved daughter said goodbye, Wang Yuantong, the chief dart head of Tongwei Dart Bureau, can be said to be living like a year. He gave birth to such a well-behaved and clever daughter when he was in his forties, and he loved her very much, and now that her daughter had disappeared for several days, how could he not make him anxious? For several days, he sent his dart masters and executioners out to look for him, but he never found anything, so that he did not think about tea and dinner, and sat in the house all day sighing. Today, when I heard that my daughter had returned safely, I was so happy that I burst into tears, and the anger and complaints I was full of were all gone in an instant the moment I saw my daughter.

Wang Yuantong hugged his baby daughter tightly and said in a loud voice: "Wan'er, Wan'er, it's good for you to come back, it's good to come back." Softly comforted for a long time, then suddenly raised his palm again, made a gesture, and said, "You dead girl, where have you been these days? ”

Wang Wan saw that he was haggard and wept: "Daddy, it's all about my daughter's badness, and my daughter knows it's wrong." ”

The father and daughter cried and laughed, and finally calmed down a little, and Wang Wan introduced Bai Yixue to Wang Yuantong. Wang Yuantong saw that he was just a stinky kid, and he wanted to come to capture the smiling thief, and he couldn't help but be full of suspicions, worried that his daughter was young and ignorant, most of them were bewitched by Bai Yixue, called Zhuquan, but in fact, it was just to earn some honorarium.

Wang Yuantong was old and sophisticated, and he was quiet, and after arranging for Bai Yixue to stay, he immediately pulled his daughter to the back hall and inquired in detail.

Wang Wan talked about the encounter between the two in detail, Wang Yuantong knew that people were not good-looking, and there were many talents in the rivers and lakes, which dispelled the previous doubts. Thinking that if the smiling guest can come in person, he may not be able to defeat the smiling thief, this person's kung fu is unfathomable, still above the smiling guest, it is really the Bodhisattva's blessing, the heavens descend on the nobleman, and help his whole family get out of trouble.

Wang Yuantong was quite sorry for his many previous doubts, and set up a banquet at the dart bureau that night to catch the wind and wash the dust for Bai Yixue. At the table, the magistrates, county lieutenants, and head catchers in Dongyang City and other figures with heads and faces were all invited by him one by one, and the scene was extremely grand.

The magistrate and county lieutenant of Dongyang, seeing that Wang Yuantong was respectful to Bai Yixue, all thought in their hearts, are you Lao Wang old and confused, how can such an unknown young man catch the terrifying thief? During the banquet, they did not add a little damage, but they were full of praise for Bai Yixue, and said vigorously that he was strong in martial arts, and it would be easy to catch the smiling thief. The subordinates of the county magistrate and the county lieutenant looked at the appearance, and when they saw the chief like this, they all stepped forward to toast Bai Yixue and praised him, only Wang Yuantong's eldest disciple Kuang Tianshi looked arrogant, neither toasted nor talked, and his attitude towards Bai Yixue was very cold.

The next day is the day when the smiling thief meets to withdraw money, Tongwei dart is loose outside and tight, everyone is like a big enemy, and he is on guard, only Bai Yixue looks relaxed, and sees Wang Yuantong and Wang Wan's father and daughter talking and laughing, not mentioning the matter of the smiling thief, and they look like they are in the chest. Although Wang Yuantong didn't say anything, he couldn't help muttering in his heart. When it was time for dinner, Wang Yuantong couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Shaoxia, the thief will come tonight, how many helpers do you need?" ”

Bai Yixue smiled and said, "How many people are there under the head of the dart?"

Wang Yuan channel: "There are thirty or forty people in the dart bureau and the executioner, plus the manpower arranged by the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, there are more than fifty people in total, if the young man feels that it is not enough, the old man will go to his dart bureau to invite some people, how about it?"

Seeing his solemn expression, Bai Yixue asked, "Chief Darthead, that big thief is really elusive, and he can come and go freely in Dongyang City?"

Wang Yuantong thought to himself: "The net worth and life of dozens of members of the old man's family are all tied to your hands, and there is no room for any mistakes tonight." Zhengse said: "Bai Shaoxia, the old man knows that you are very skilled, and ordinary thieves are ready to be caught, but this smiling thief must not be underestimated, even the county lieutenant Lu sighed that he has been arresting thieves for more than 20 years, and he has never seen such a cunning thief." More manpower must be deployed tonight to ensure that he is apprehended. ”

Bai Yixue smiled and said, "There is no need for the head of the dart, I am enough for one person, and I don't need any help." ”

When Wang Yuantong heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, his face was like earth, he couldn't speak in a daze, and secretly thought: "The smiling thief comes and goes like the wind, and the means are ruthless, you are so big, if you miss it, but if you leave, my whole family, the lives of dozens of people, are in danger!"

Before he could answer, Kuang Tianshi on the seat sneered and said, "Do you think that smiling thief is an ordinary little thief, waiting to be captured?"

Wang Yuantong scolded: "Tianshi, don't be rude!" and turned to Baiyi Xue: "The apprentice is reckless and offended the young man, don't blame him. ”

Bai Yixue smiled: "It's out of the way." ”

Wang Yuantong pondered for a moment and said, "But the words of the apprentice are not without a little truth. For several months, the smiling thief has been rampant in my Dongyang City, and the government's arrest is pouring out, but there is no way to take him. As the old saying goes, if you take precautions for everything before you rain, and dig a well without thirst, the old man still prepares more manpower in advance, and always has an extra share. ”

Bai Yixue said with a smile: "The head of the dart is resourceful, and it is not bad, but there is no need to be so popular, I only have one worry now." ”

Wang Yuandao: "Oh, Bai Shaoxia, please say, as long as the old man can do it, the old man will do his best." ”

Bai Yixue shook her head and said, "What I'm worried about now is that the movement in the dart game is too big, if the smiling thief learns about the wind and grass and refuses to show up tonight, won't he miss the big thing of the head of the dart?"

Wang Yuantong said: "This ...... This ......"

Wang Wan stood up and said with a smile: "Daddy, since Bai Shaoxia said that there is no need for helpers, then you don't want to make trouble." ”

Kuang Tianshi's face was bruised and protruding, he glanced at the white clothes and snow, and thought: "How capable can a little white face be? You can easily deceive your junior sister, but you can't deceive me." He said loudly: "Senior sister, catching the smiling thief is not a child's play, playing, our reputation for decades of Weiwei Dart Bureau, as well as the net worth of dozens of people, can be described as a thousand ties, how can it be child's play?"

Wang Wan glanced at him coldly, and said angrily: "Who is playing? Which child's play? You don't have the ability to do it yourself, and you don't have the ability to be someone else? If you have the ability, you go and capture the smiling thief." ”

When Kuang Tianshi heard this, Huo Di stood up, his face turned red, looked at the white clothes, turned his head to look at Wang Wan, and said loudly: "Okay, senior sister, you don't have to provoke me with words, although my Kuang Tianshi's skills are not as good as others, but I am by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, tonight I will fight to the death with the smiling thief." ”

Wang Wan glanced at him and said, "Bah, who is rare for you to fight hard? Can you fight?" Kuang Tianshi was furious, and the muscles on his face were twisted. Wang Yuantong's second disciple Wu Tianfeng, third disciple Kang Tianhe and others saw it and spoke out to persuade them.

Wang Yuantong said: "Wan'er, how can you talk to your senior brother? At the moment of the great enemy, are you not enough to make trouble?" Xiang Bai Yixue arched his hand and said with a wry smile: "The little girl and the little apprentice made Bai Shaoxia laugh." ”

Bai Yixue glanced at Kuang Tianshi and secretly thought: "Although this person is a little reckless, he is not a bloody man. He said with a smile: "Since the head of the dart has this intention, I will borrow someone from the head of the head tonight." ”

Wang Yuantong was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh, borrow someone, who?"
