"Xu Changfeng, what's wrong with you? Hey......"

Ma Yan turned around, looked at Xu Changfeng, who had dull eyes, immediately called him twice, and stretched out his palm and waved it in front of his eyes.

Xu Changfeng reacted at this time and whispered: "Do you think that this Tiandu County is a bit weird......

"Weird?" Ma Yan wondered, "What's weird, I think you're weird, right? ”

Xu Changfeng shook his head, his intuition told him that something should have happened in Tiandu County. He thought for a while and looked at Wei Xueying, wanting to ask her what she thought. But who would have thought that Wei Xueying saw Xu Changfeng looking at her, and quickly turned her head, looking like she didn't want to answer.

Xu Changfeng smiled bitterly in his heart and looked at the deserted street. At this time, there shouldn't be only such people on the street.

"Good wine, good wine, good ......" But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the street, "I have heard that the chrysanthemum wine in the capital county this day is extraordinary, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation." ”

The three of them looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a beggar dressed in tatters, holding a wooden staff in one hand and a broken bowl in the other, staggering along.

The beggar drank the wine from the bowl in one gulp, sat down contentedly, leaned against a corner, and enjoyed the warm sunshine peacefully.

Xu Changfeng walked forward quickly, looked at the beggar and asked, "This brother, are you drinking the chrysanthemum wine brewed by the Zhao family?"

The beggar opened his eyes slowly, glanced at Xu Changfeng, and replied nonchalantly: "Yes, what?"

"Can you tell me ......?"

Xu Changfeng's eyes lit up, and as soon as he was halfway through his words, he saw the beggar grab the broken bowl, shake it lightly for a while, and said regretfully: "What a good wine, it's gone, alas...... It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Xu Changfeng's heart moved, and he immediately turned around and walked to Ma Yan's side, and asked in a low voice, "Give me some silver." ”

Ma Yan was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "What do you want silver for?"

He remembered what the beggar had just said, and said, "Are you crazy?

"Less nonsense, to give or not to give?" Xu Changfeng frowned and said, "This silver is what I owe you, and I will pay it back to you when I go back, I didn't bring that much with me." ”

Ma Yan glanced at him, took out a bulging money bag from his arms, and after some careful selection, stuffed a piece of silver into Xu Changfeng's hand.

Xu Changfeng pinched the silver, walked quickly to the beggar, put the silver into the broken bowl, and whispered, "Brother Tai, you can take this silver to buy wine and drink." ”

The beggar glanced at the silver in the bowl, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed the silver, hid it carefully, and said with a smile: "Then thank you for the kindness of this little brother." By the way, what did you just want to ask?"

Xu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "I want to inquire where that Zhao's chrysanthemum wine is." ”

"So you want to ask this...... beggar couldn't help but smile, "Then Zhao's chrysanthemum wine is in Qingren Lane on North Street, you can find it when you walk into the alley, smell the wine, and walk." ”

"Thank you, brother. Xu Changfeng nodded.

"But......" said the beggar at last, "I advise you to be all right, and it is better not to go there." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Zhao family, who sells chrysanthemum wine, there was a thief in the house last night, you had better touch this mold. The beggar whispered.

"What does the thief in the house have to do with us going to find her?" Ma Yan couldn't help but ask curiously when he heard this.

"Of course it does!" said the beggar, "do you think, what thief in the world can make the people in the capital county panic and dare not go out?" Not to mention that a few of you are still strangers, and when people see you, they must not be guarded against as thieves!"

"Are you talking about a thief half a sword?" Ma Yan subconsciously exclaimed when he heard this.

"Shhhh......h ”

Ma Yan felt that he had lost his temper at this time, and he couldn't help but blush, and subconsciously looked around.

"Thief half sword?" Xu Changfeng asked in a low voice, "Is that the famous thief in Chang'an City?"

"Who else but him?" said the beggar without cutting down, "The Zhao family has an ancestral treasure jade, which was stolen by a half-sword last night. Now the residents of Tiandu County look like thieves. How are you going to spend this day?"

"But didn't he only attack those corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" Ma Yan wondered, "How could he start an ordinary person's idea?"

"Who knows?" the beggar slowly rose from the ground, "I'll have to ask Half Sword what he thinks......"

After the beggar finished speaking, he swaggered away.

"What now?" said Ma Yan after the beggar left.

"Let's find a place to stay and have something to eat. Xu Changfeng looked at Wei Xueying and Ma Yan and asked.

Both nodded in acquiescence.

Originally, it was only seven days, and now it was involved in a half-sword, which made this task even more complicated.

The three of them searched for a long time in the streets and alleys, and finally found an inn with an open door. For example, today the capital has gone crazy, saying that the half-sword has begun to attack the poor, who is not afraid of this?

The store was very deserted, only a man stood on the counter, and when he saw the three people walking in, he still greeted each other with a smile and asked, "How many people are objectively sharpened or live in the store?"

"Stay in the hotel and open two rooms for us. Xu Changfeng said,

On the way here, the three of them had already discussed, considering that there might be a lot of money to spend in the back, so the silver had to be saved. Open two rooms, Ma Yan and Xu Changfeng squeeze one, and Wei Xueying lives alone.

The three of them went back to the room to put their things away, then went downstairs to order a few dishes and eat lunch.

"Why don't we go to Zhao's first step on the Zhao family in the afternoon?" Ma Yan asked as he ate, "You can't do nothing, right?"

"Yes, I'll come with you in the afternoon. Xu Changfeng nodded.

"It's enough to go alone. Wei Xueying, who was on the side, said softly, "There are too many people going, it is easy to make the Zhao family suspicious, and they will expose themselves when the time comes." ”

Ma Yan and Xu Changfeng looked at Wei Xueying in surprise, this was the first thing she said in a long time.

"I think it makes sense. Ma Yan nodded and said, "We can't let the Zhao family know that we are a gang, otherwise the three of us will have to finish playing." ”

"That'...... Shall I go?" asked Xu Changfeng in a low voice.

"I'd better go. Ma Yan shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this kind of kung fu is my forte." ”

As soon as Ma Yan finished speaking, he received a roll of Wei Xueying's eyes, which made him embarrassed, and he silently bowed his head to eat, and never said anything again.

After eating, Ma Yan rested for a while and left the inn.

Xu Changfeng stayed alone in the room, wanting to calm down and concentrate on practicing qi, but somehow, he always thought about this half-sword in his heart.

He didn't know Half Sword, so why did he care so much about this person?

In his impression, Banjian only began to appear in the rivers and lakes ten years ago. At that time, he stole a landscape painting from the home of a powerful man in Chang'an City and auctioned it on the black market, but who would have thought that the black market happened to be the venue of a cousin of the Chang'an magnate.

At that time, it was fortunate that Banjian slipped away quickly, otherwise he would not have survived today.

And after that, the activities of the half-sword began to become frequent. It took eight years to patronize almost the homes of a generation of powerful people in Chang'an, and most of the stolen elites in the DPRK and China were also impeached and imprisoned within a year or two.

Because of this, the reputation of Banjian began to spread in the Chang'an generation, especially in the eyes of the people, although this is something ilproper, but after hearing it, it is very happy.

Until two years ago, Banjian provoked the emperor's anger because he stole a treasure from a royal family, and sent a large number of people and cultivators to set up an ambush to arrest him, and finally let him escape.

For ten years, no one knows what the half-sword looks like.

Unconsciously, the sky had darkened, but he hadn't seen Ma Yan come back yet, Xu Changfeng couldn't help but be a little worried, and was thinking about going out to look for him. I saw that the door was suddenly pushed open, and Ma Yan dragged his tired body in, without saying a word, grabbed the teapot on the table, opened his mouth and poured a few sips, and then panted and said: "Hey, I'm tired!"

"What are you doing?" Xu Changfeng asked suspiciously, he thought that Ma Yan had been discovered by the Zhao family and had been arrested and interrogated in the yamen.

"I became an apprentice to the Zhao family...... Ma Yan said with a wry smile.
