Lin Nan and I led three horses and walked towards the north gate, Lin Nan said: "Brother Gu, that guard is also a man, if we are replaced by other guards, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to get out today." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The guard was also a big-hearted man, and I secretly admired him in my heart. Most of the state and county garrisons are domineering, fierce and brutal by nature, and there are few people like him who have a clear distinction between right and wrong and think about the people, and his official position is not low, so it is even more rare, the reason why Yongxing County is glorious is probably more or less related to the presence of such a defender. Lin Nan is right, if it weren't for this person's broad-mindedness and reasonableness, I'm afraid there would inevitably be an entanglement today.

I said, "Hurry up and get out of the county, Brother Baili is still waiting for us." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Yes, I almost forgot about this, we still have to chase the Golden Flower Thief, that General Zuo is here to protect the territory, and we will eliminate the harm to the rivers and lakes, haha." ”

He was smiling a lot, but I wasn't in the same mood as he was. Whether or not to chase the Golden Flower Thief is a very important thing for me to do, and in my heart, there is nothing more important than returning to the Iron Sword Sect. Although I knew that the possibility of returning to the Iron Sword Sect was slim, I still had a trace of luck and deep anticipation in my heart.

We led three horses, and we didn't walk very fast, and when we came to the north gate, we were walking out with the flow of people.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and a soldier rode over, came to the city gate, and shouted to the prison gate: "The magistrate has an order, close the city gate, and no one can enter or leave!"

At this time, there were many people entering and leaving the city gate, and his words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction and curses of the passers-by around him, and the prison gate immediately closed the city gate, separating the people inside and outside the city.

Lin Nan and I were both taken aback, and a businessman said to the soldier on the horse: "This official, be accommodating, I urgently need to deliver a batch of goods here, if I don't go out of the city today, I'm afraid I will lose all my money." ”

After the merchant finished speaking, there was a sudden shouting around him, and he couldn't get out of the city gate, so he poured all his complaints on the soldier.

"That's right, I also have a batch of goods here that are in a hurry to be sent out of the city, please be accommodating. ”

"It's good, why is the city suddenly closed?"

"What a fucking back, Lao Tzu just came in from the south gate, and this is going to be closed, it's really bad luck!"

......

One person shouted: "This brother, I don't know what happened in the county, why did the city suddenly close down?"

This may be the question that everyone at the gate of the city wants to know, and the man was so loud that the gate was much quieter, and they all looked at the soldier on horseback.

The soldier was not flustered at all, his face was expressionless, and he raised his head and said: "This is the order of the magistrate, I don't know the specific situation, if you want to ask, go to the magistrate!"

He looked arrogant, completely different from the general surnamed Zuo.

Lin Nan suddenly shouted: "If we can find the magistrate, we will ask you what to do!"

I pulled Lin Nan and said, "Brother Lin, don't be too troublesome, let's just wait here." ”

Lin Nan was sealed in Hengzhou City for a month, not long after he left the city, and now he is locked down again, so he is naturally very dissatisfied, but his words have also aroused everyone's approval.

The soldier glanced at us and said, "Then don't ask, stay in Yongxing County honestly." ”

It was good that he didn't say this, but as soon as the words came out, the people around him seemed to be angry, pointing at the soldier and scolding, and the atmosphere suddenly rose and became noisy.

I didn't expect it to come to such a point, glaring at Lin Nan, the soldier pulled out the big knife at his waist at this time, and shouted: "What are you doing, do you want to rebel?" He said this, and the six guards at the city gate and the prison gate also pulled out the big knife at their waists at the same time. The crowd around them fell silent, and they all fell silent.

At this time, a loud shout came from afar: "Stop!"

I saw General Zuo riding a horse and rushing over, followed by a group of soldiers, General Zuo came to us and shouted at the soldiers and the officers and soldiers defending the city: "Bastard, put away the knife!"

The soldier and the officers and soldiers defending the city immediately put their broadswords in their sheaths, bowed their heads and did not dare to speak.

General Zuo's eyes swept around, and said: "Fellow villagers, today's closure of Yongxing County is actually a thief in the county, causing inconvenience to all the villagers. ”

Two soldiers beside him walked to the side of the gate, posted a notice, and then the two stood to the left and right of the sign. All the people were amazed, and they all looked at the notice.

I looked at General Zuo and saw that he was looking at us, and he smiled and said, "Why are you two again?"

Lin Nan and I hugged him, and I said, "General Zuo, we meet again." ”

General Zuo said with a smile: "No need to be polite, today's closure has caused you inconvenience." ”

Lin Nan said: "I don't know what valuable treasures the thief stole to provoke the county lord to close the city?"

General Zuo said: "The Lord of the County has not lost his valuable treasures, and the closure of the city is an order issued by the Lord of the County. ”

I was shocked, Lord Zhizhou? The Zhizhou Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and the guards are strong in martial arts, how can they get into the thieves? And it seems that the things stolen from the Chenzhou Zhizhou are not trivial, otherwise a notice would not have been issued to seal the city, Yongxing County was ordered to close the city, and several nearby counties are afraid that they will also be closed.

General Zuo looked at the long sword behind my back, rolled his eyes and said, "The two of you are heroes who walk the rivers and lakes, I don't know if you have ever seen such a hidden weapon?"

was called a hero by him, and I was speechless for a while. I'm a down-and-out little swordsman at best, and Lin Nan is just a nosy little langzhong. If you want to talk about heroism, General Zuo is really worthy of it, but this sentence came out of his mouth, although it was a word of praise, but it made me feel ashamed of myself.

As he spoke, he took out a roll of white paper from his bosom and handed it over.

Lin Nan took the paper scroll and opened it, only to see a six-petal flower painted on it, and there was a text note below: Golden flower dart, two inches in radius, cast gold throughout.

"Golden Flower Dart!"

Lin Nan and I couldn't help but exclaim, this golden dart is very familiar, although the golden dart painted on this paper is relatively large, but the appearance is the same as the golden dart, and the following is very clear: Fang Yuan is two inches, and the whole body is cast gold. It's the dart that the Golden Flower Thief is used to!

General Zuo was stunned, hurriedly dismounted, and said, "Do you really recognize this thing?"

We nodded, and I said, "Yes, this thing is the Golden Flower Dart, and it is a hidden weapon used by the Golden Flower Thief!"

"The Golden Flower Thief?"

General Zuo obviously hadn't heard of the Golden Flower Thief, and he didn't immediately believe what we said, I saw the hesitation in my eyes, and immediately took out a Golden Flower Dart from my baggage and handed it to him, saying, "General Zuo, please see!"

General Zuo took the golden dart, frowned, looked at it for a while, and then looked at us again and said, "Two, this matter is very important, can you follow me to the mansion and discuss it in detail?"

Lin Nan was pleasantly surprised: "This is the best, then let's go to the general and sit down." Brother Gu, what do you say?"

I said, "Since the general invited, then let's go." ”

In fact, when I saw the golden dart painting in General Zuo's hand, I was very puzzled, and I could even say that I was a little dazed. These days I can always come across traces of the Golden Flower Thief, he is like a shadow, ubiquitous and elusive, I have no intention of looking for him, but his deeds always appear around me.

The city gate was sealed, and the county town immediately became crowded, the streets were noisy, and the business of inns and taverns was suddenly hot. We followed General Zuo to Zuo's mansion, tied our horses to the front of the mansion, and General Zuo's servants led us to a room.

His house is not very luxurious, similar to an ordinary house, but it occupies a larger area, there is a rockery lotus pond in the yard, and there are weeping willows around it. It was not like a place where the defenders worked, but like a place of purity.

Not long after, General Zuo walked in in civilian clothes, holding the golden dart in his hand, looking at us and smiling: "I don't know what to call the two of you?"

I clenched my fists and said, "Below... Shadow chasing. ”

Lin Nan said: "Under Lin Nan." ”

General Zuo nodded and said, "I wonder where the two young heroes saw that thief?"

I hugged my fists and said, "Back to the general, I had a meeting with him when I was in Hengzhou City." ”

After all, General Zuo is a guard, and I will never be less courteous.

General Zuo paused and said, "This person has also been to Hengzhou City, have you ever seen this person?"

I shook my head and said, "The Golden Flower Thief is masked, I haven't seen this person's true face. ”

At this time, a lean man walked in from outside the door, hugged his fists and said, "See General Zuo for the villain." ”

General Zuo said with a smile: "Huang Zhutou doesn't need to be polite, these two are my new friends in the rivers and lakes, they came from Hengzhou City, and they know some clues about thieves." With that, he handed the golden dart in his hand to the yellow catcher.

Huang Zhutou's eyes flashed, he glanced at me and Lin Nan, hugged his fists at us, took the golden dart and looked at it, and said, "General Hui, this secret weapon is used by the thief." ”

He casually looked at it and knew that this was the golden dart of the Golden Flower Thief, could he have seen it before? General Zuo seemed to see the doubts in the hearts of Lin Nan and me, and said with a smile: "The two young heroes don't know, Huang Zhutou belongs to Chenzhou City, not our county. Lord Zhizhou sent Huang Zhutou here to investigate the thief. ”

Lin Nan said: "I see, I will be lucky." ”

Huang Zhutou said: "Fortunately." I don't know how the two young heroes got this golden dart, and how did they meet that thief in Hengzhou City?"

I was stared at by him a little unnaturally, and immediately slowly said the situation of meeting the golden flower thief in Hengzhou City.

After I finished speaking, Huang Zhutou frowned and said, "That man's swordsmanship can actually block the golden dart of the Golden Flower Thief? ”

His words were full of disbelief, and I couldn't help but be a little annoyed and said: "That person is a disciple of the Wudang Sect, and his swordsmanship is outstanding. ”

Zhang Xude's swordsmanship is indeed outstanding, and when he fought with the Golden Flower Thief, I could see it clearly from the side.

Huang Zhutou tilted his head to look at me again, and said, "But this thief is very good, you can also catch up with him?"

In fact, if Zhang Xude hadn't chased the Golden Flower Thief that night, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with the Golden Flower Thief at all, but this Huangpu head was too contemptuous of people when he spoke, and his eyes were full of disbelief, which made me a little disgusted, and I said: "If you can't catch up, it doesn't mean that I can't catch up." ”

Lin Nan also saw that this Huang Zhutou was a little unpleasant, and immediately continued: "That's it, my big brother chasing the shadow is very powerful, and your kung fu is bad and you can't catch up, it doesn't mean that he can't catch up." ”

Lin Nan's words made me a little crying and laughing, he probably wanted to be angry with this yellow catcher, so he said this, and even the big brother chasing the shadow called out.

Huang Zhutou's face sank, and he said, "You ......"

I Huo stood up, hugged his fist at General Zuo and said, "Thank you General Zuo for your hospitality, my two brothers will say goodbye and say goodbye!"

General Zuo asked us to come to the house to learn more about the Golden Flower Thief, I admire General Zuo's personality, so I will come with him, now that the matter has been explained, there is nothing for us, or leave as soon as possible, the province listened to the cold ridicule of the yellow catcher.

At this time, General Zuo suddenly laughed, stopped us, and said: "Two young heroes, please stay, Huang Zhutou and I are also forced to make this decision, I hope the two of you don't want to be angry, that thief is cunning and abnormal, Huang Zhutou has suffered under that person, so he will be so careful." ”

I was puzzled in my heart, and looked at Lin Nan, and Lin Nan also looked at me.

General Zuo looked at Huang Zhutou and said with a smile: "Huang Zhutou, let's talk about it." ”
