The most chaotic place in the world is called the rivers and lakes. There are arrogant swordsmen, brave chivalrous, lonely prodigal sons, and beautiful women. There are the fastest horses, the strongest wine, the fastest knives, the most poisonous Gu, the strongest sects, the most evil places, and the most famous dead people in the rivers and lakes. There are lists on the rivers and lakes, recording the "strongest" on the rivers and lakes, and there are legends on the rivers and lakes, which circulate those stories of love and hatred, drinking and talking, or swords facing each other. A person, a lifetime, an entanglement, has become a river and lake.

The deepest place in the world is called the court. Compared to the rivers and lakes...... There's really nothing to tell. If you have to say it, the court is a pool of muddy water that seems to be undisturbed, but in fact the dark tide is surging, and the fish and dragons are mixed in it, hiding all the conspiracies and calculations in the fog and dirt that cannot be seen by each other, no one is clean, no one can not be defiled.

When the rivers and lakes overlap with the court, it is a story that is difficult to describe.

And this story inevitably starts with a few forces and a few people.

——————————————————————————

Next, let's talk about one place first - Trojan Marquis Mansion.

Obviously, this is a Hou Ye's home, and it is also a quirky Hou Mansion.

Wooden horse, naturally, does not refer to a horse made of wood, but takes the beginning and tail of "wooden ox flowing horse" as the name. Speaking of the mechanism formation, this Trojan Marquis Mansion is a place that has to be mentioned.

This well-known family of organs in the rivers and lakes not only has the title of Hou Ye, but also has the sword treasures coveted by thousands of people, as well as the most beautiful women in the rivers and lakes. And such a place, which has not been stolen once in decades, is undoubtedly the credit of those agencies.

But today, the always quiet Wooden Horse Hou Mansion is very lively. The reason is simple, it was stolen.

"Let him run again. The person who spoke was over the age of the crown, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a big red wide-sleeved cloud robe, and a slender sword at his waist. The ten fingers are slender and powerful, the nails are neatly trimmed, and the palm has a hard cocoon caused by riding a royal sword. There were a few mud stains on the hem and boot shaft, but there were fewer mud stains on the bottom of the boot, apparently galloping all the way. His sword eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but there was no superfluous emotion on his face, and he was calm and calm.

Trojan Marquis looked at him quietly and smiled lightly: "Guard Xia doesn't have to be anxious, this Tsing Yi thief can steal things from my heavily organized mansion, and he is also quite capable." It was Ben Hou's negligence, and the Xia guards didn't have to worry. ”

The young man's name is Xia Peng, and he is a first-class guard in Ouchi, who has been ordered to hunt down the "Tsing Yi thief" half a year ago to no avail. He looked down at the crumpled piece of paper in his hand, his eyes flickering.

"I heard that your mansion treasures a warm jade coiled dragon, and a pair of blood jade steps, all of which are treasures. Where the heart desires, dare to ask for a look. At four o'clock, the thief will come. In addition, congratulations to Lord Hou on his birthday.

- Tsing Yi Thieves Worship"

Xia Peng gritted his teeth, turned around and asked, "His gift poem hasn't been found yet?"

"People are gone, what can we do if we find poetry?" a man in his fifties walked into the hall and nodded to the Trojan Marquis, and sat down at the head of the guest seat.

Xia Peng was startled, hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said, "My subordinates are incompetent, please forgive the prince." The person in front of him is one of the most prominent princes today, and his title is "Qi".

King Qi glanced at him: "You don't have to ask me for your guilt, you just need to give an explanation to the thirteenth brother." The dignified guards couldn't even catch a thief in half a year, which was really disappointing. Give the poem, get up and take it and read it. ”

"Thank you. Xia Peng got up and took it respectfully, and frowned after only looking at it twice.

"It's hard to answer the wind and water, and I haven't taken the stars with my hands.

Morning glory and weaver girl and the corridor, sheep to the hall of the tiger's mouth.

has never been embarrassed to face worship, Xie Jun's words are like sailing.

———————, be a thief in the daytime.

Food and clothing are like kings, and stealing things is so good. ”

Paper and ink are the most generally inferior, but the handwriting is elegant and elegant, and the forenotice written before is the work of one person.

King Qi sneered: "The words are good words, but the poems are only enough to barely rhyme, they are not distinguished, the literature and science are not understood, and they are nonsense." Aside from the usual head-pinching tricks, there's not much to see. ”

Trojan Marquis walked to Xia Peng's side and looked at it, and praised with a smile: "Yes, it is indeed a good hand." 'Take the sheep by the hand, no thanks. - Tsing Yi Thief'? ”

Xia Peng didn't care about the evaluation, and said categorically: "It's impossible, he will definitely provoke." Striding to the window, he muttered: "Shunfeng with the water, salute is difficult to answer, stars, morning glory and weaver girl, sail, blue sky and white sun, Qiankun ......" His eyes moved quickly in the night sky, his brows were tightly locked, and he was silent for two incense sticks, and then said loudly: "Shunfeng and the water are difficult to answer, that is, the stolen things go downstream." Morning Glory Vega is located in the northwest. If the so-called 'thief' refers to the time of theft, the 'blue sky and white sun' at four o'clock is still slightly bright, that is, it is due west. Northwest and north refer to the west and the north. He was instructed to go down due north and go down the river to find a boat with sails. ”

Hearing this, the Wooden Horse Hou smiled and said: "It's already night, and all the boats on the water are paintings, how could the Tsing Yi thief be so stupid as to make himself so obvious, and write all of them in the poem?

Xia Peng said: "Master Hou doesn't know, after the Tsing Yi thief stole in Bianliang a month ago, he left a book for me, explaining that he would commit another crime in Hangzhou. Since he has acted in this way, he will surely leave a reminder. ”

King Qi said: "This little thief is really rampant. ”

Xia Peng was silent for a moment and asked, "I wonder if the prince remembers the situation when the Tsing Yi thief first committed theft?"

King Qi was slightly stunned: "Don't steal the blue sky and steal the pearl, don't steal the cloth and don't steal the thief?"

Xia Peng bowed: "The first time he stole was at the wedding banquet of the only daughter of Feixian Castle and stole a huge night pearl embedded in the top of the castle, and no one in the nearly 100 people found any trace of the Tsing Yi thief. The gilded plaque with the words "Feixian Castle" hanging in front of the gate of Feixian Castle has been replaced with a plaque that reads "Do not steal the blue sky and steal the pearl, do not steal cloth clothes and do not steal thieves", and the inscription "The first thief in the world". Feng Zhuo had always compared the pearl in the castle to the light of the sun and the moon, and this sentence appeared to mock it. Because there are three words in this sentence, "Qingyi, and thief", it is the name "Qingyi thief" that has been in the limelight on the rivers and lakes for a while. ”

Trojan Marquis smiled: "That's true. All thieves are covered by the darkness of the night, and it is easy to get their hands on them when they are unprepared. And the pearl was about the size of a skull, dazzling and visible for a hundred meters, but he really stole it. Feixian Castle is already strict, and it is the day of his daughter's wedding, so it is not unremarkable to be able to steal pearls and change plaques. ”

King Qi said: "If he is really single, then his martial arts and resourcefulness are extremely high." ”

Xia Peng said: "What Lord Hou said is very true. The shogun's mansion was stolen half a year ago, and Ouchi officially intervened in the matter. It ranged from the General's Mansion and the Trojan Marquis Mansion to the ordinary shops and dart bureaus; as short as three crimes were committed in two days, and as long as he did not show up for several months. Ordinary gold and silver jewellery were thrown on the road, while precious calligraphy and paintings were nowhere to be found. In my observation, he is not only a master of art and bold, but also has what he himself calls 'Ya', and he is not short of money. One is a person who has no gold, silver and money, has both civil and military skills, is bold and absolutely calm, and it is really difficult to grasp. ”

King Qi smiled faintly: "This king knows it with his own eyes, even if you return without success today, no one will blame you." Even if he apologized for his attitude, he also said for Trojan Mahou that he would not pursue it.

Xia Peng knelt down: "Thank you for a lot, your subordinates will definitely do their best to arrest the thief in Tsing Yi." ”
