It was a dark and windy night, and the smell of intrigue mixed with the fragrance of summer flowers made people unconsciously nervous.

At night, Gu Shenwei quietly left the small house where he lived, avoided the path, and walked towards the small courtyard he saw during the day.

Lingnu reminded him not to walk around, not to provoke the rain boy, and on the first night of entering the inner house, he planned to violate these two pieces of advice.

The stars and moon were dim in the sky, Gu Shenwei held his breath and cautiously advanced, and twice almost bumped into the patrolling night watchman, and finally passed the test smoothly and came to the outside of the small courtyard wall.

He climbed over the low wall, waited patiently for a while, and after making sure that no one was hiding in the shadows, he crept to the middle of the courtyard under the sea hall tree, picked up a small pebble, and threw it at the window of the middle room.

Although the architectural style of Jinpeng Fort is very different from that of the Central Plains, it is still easy to tell which room is the owner's residence, and the only thing Gu Shenwei is not sure of is which of the twins lives inside.

No response.

Gu Shen picked up the second stone and threw it, this time increasing the force, and the sound of hitting it was very loud.

There was still no response from inside the house, as if it was uninhabited at all, but there was a reaction from someone outside the house.

Gu Shenwei's hair suddenly stood on end, feeling the same as when Shangguan Yu assassinated him, so he threw himself forward, quickly turned around, and saw that the young man in the day was holding a knife and preparing for a second attack.

The boy's expression is serious and murderous, this is not a game.

Gu Shenwei was in a disadvantageous position, there was not much room to move, and this knife-wielding young man was much better than Shangguan Yushi.

The tip of the narrow knife was aimed at the intruder's chest, and the boy was determined that this sword would end the battle, which was his duty and his honor.

A window creaked open and pushed upward, and the knife-wielding boy leaped backwards and disappeared into the black air as if he had heard a spell.

Gu Shenwei's scalp was numb, and he couldn't understand what was going on with this mysterious teenager.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, uh, the disciple who was ordered to come and see Master. ”

"On whose orders?"

"Master, you. ”

"Me?"

"Didn't you stick out three fingers at me during the day, suggesting that I came to meet the third watch?"

"Nonsense, I didn't stretch out three fingers, you are a traitor, tomorrow I will punish you. ”

"Master, the disciple is guilty, so he came to suffer in advance. ”

Gu Shenwei walked to the window and knelt down, Shangguan Ru only showed a small head and yawned.

There were people lighting the lights in the rooms on both sides, and Shangguan Ru shouted, "All sleep, don't get up," and the lights went out again.

"You came too early, I haven't figured out how to punish you yet?" Shangguan Ru said with a little distress.

"The ready-made method, 'drive out of the stone castle and add a hundred blades', our old rule here. Shangguan Yushi's head was also exposed.

Gu Shenwei really wanted to say that Shangguan Yushi didn't accompany Jiugongzi to escape the night before, but it was a bigger betrayal, but what he said was: "Master, it doesn't seem that the rules of our 'Moon Holding Faction' are like this." ”

"Well, I haven't figured out the rules of this sect either. ”

"It's definitely different from other sects. ”

"Of course. ”

Shangguan Yushi intervened again, "It is the easiest thing to throw down the cliff directly." ”

"Uncle Yu, you're going to kick me down again. ”

Shangguan Yushi's eyebrows were erected, the assassination was unsuccessful, which made her extremely ashamed, although she couldn't bear it under Shangguan Ru's compulsion, but when she heard this minion mention it, she still wanted to attack.

"No quarrels. ”

"Yes, the disciples all listen to the Master. Gu Shenwei said immediately.

Shangguan Yushi snorted, turned around, and left the back of Huan Nu's head.

"If you want to return to the division, find a way to take me out to explore the rivers and lakes. ”

"You don't necessarily have to go to the stone castle to wander the rivers and lakes, our castle is full of masters, and we may not be able to meet so many after ten years of wandering outside the castle. ”

"Sycophants. Shangguan Yushi snorted quietly.

"How can this be the same, the people in the fort don't take me seriously and play with me like a child. ”

"Hehe, in fact, the disciple has an idea, and he can play like the real thing. ”

"You say. Shangguan Ru's eyes lit up.

"Liars. Shangguan Yu said without looking back.

"I'll tell you a story before I say that. ”

"Better be funny, I'm a little sleepy. Shangguan lowered her chin to her elbow, and she liked to listen to stories, especially stories told in the middle of the night.

It was pitch black all around, only insects chirping and frogs chirping, and no one like the knife-wielding boy came out to interfere, Gu Shenwei simply sat on the ground and told the story he suddenly remembered in a slow voice.

"I told you a lot about the rules of the rivers and lakes that night, but in fact, not all the people on the rivers and lakes abide by the rules, there is a kind of person who specializes in breaking the rules. ”

"Killers, killers don't have rules, we have our own rules, it's just different from outsiders. Shangguan Yushi said disdainfully, still not looking back.

"No, it's not a killer, I'm talking about the Central Plains rivers and lakes, where there is no such sect as Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Who is that?" Shangguan Ru was a little curious.

"Jiangyang thief. ”

"Aha, the kind of person who is a big-headed god, you heard it from your young grandmother. Shangguan Yushi interjected again, he just didn't want this story to be told well.

"No, the big-headed god is a bandit, a public robbery, I'm talking about a big thief, flying eaves and walking on the wall, going alone, coming at night, drifting away, everyone knows him, no one has ever seen him, well, this is a bit similar to the top killer, but he is not interested in human heads, but valuable treasures. ”

Shangguan Yushi couldn't think of any well-known thieves in the Western Regions, so he just snorted.

"The person I want to say is the first thief in the Central Plains, famous, known as the 'Wonderful Hand Dragon', this person has a habit, after stealing things like to spread around, so that the owner is very embarrassed, and the courage is great, the object of theft is not a famous faction, or the prime minister is powerful, and finally even stole to the sky. ”

"Bragging. Shangguan Yushi couldn't help but criticize.

"It's not bragging, the magic hand Shenlong has done more than a dozen big cases that have caused a sensation in the world, and I still don't think it's fun, and then I actually stole it into the palace, the Central Plains Emperor is also known as the Son of Heaven, and the magic hand Shenlong stole the things of the Son of Heaven, but didn't it steal to the sky?"

"What's so great about the Imperial Palace, no matter how tightly guarded it is, it can't compare to Jinpeng Castle. ”

"Shhhh ”

Shangguan Ru was interested, although she was from the Western Regions, she also knew that the Son of Heaven in the Central Plains was not the same thing as the kings of the Western Regions, and Jinpeng Fort still couldn't compare with it.

"The magic hand dragon stole millions of taels of gold and silver from the Great Treasure, you think, these gold and silver even by car also took a lot of work, but it was lost for several days without being found, until this batch of gold and silver fell to the people, rumors spread, the inner guards did not know, many people lost their official hats and lives for this. ”

"This thief loves money. Shangguan Ru said.

"Well, the magic hand dragon loves to steal money, but it is also spent quickly, millions of taels of gold and silver are used up in less than a month, in fact, it is nothing just stealing money, the most shocking thing for the court is that the jade seal is gone. ”

"Yuxi, what does he want this thing for?" Shangguan Ru smiled.

"It will take several days to find out if the jade seal is lost? "Shangguan Yushi is also a little interested.

"I knew about the loss of the jade seal the next morning, but everyone thought it was done by the thief, but they didn't expect it to be the means of Jiang Yang's thief. After stealing the jade seal, the magic dragon used it to issue hundreds of holy decrees, let go of a large number of repeat offenders, and also issued an edict for the emperor, saying that 'I bow' is shallow in virtue and is not worthy of being the emperor. ”

Shangguan Ru laughed and began to like the profession of thief.

"It is conceivable that the court is in chaos, no one knows which holy decree is credible, and they dare not accept it, and they dare not accept it, so the wonderful hand Shenlong has a nickname - 'The Protégé of the Son of Heaven', and some people even call it 'Emperor Taishang'. ”

"He's so good at playing, he's really unruly. Later, he stole something. Shangguan Ru's eyes were shining, revealing full envy.

"Then the dragon died. ”

"Huh?" the two girls screamed suspiciously, Shangguan Yushi finally turned his head, how can there be such a storyteller, just hearing Xingtou, the protagonist died.

"The inner guards were anxious in those days, casting a net, it took five months, arrested tens of thousands of people before and after, and finally found the foothold of the magic hand Shenlong, 300 Ouchi masters went to round up, and 10,000 heavenly soldiers were on standby. ”

Gu Shenwei was silent for a while when he said this.

"He was killed?" Shangguan Ru asked.

"No, the magic hand dragon killed itself and didn't leave a confession, so many people think that the real thief didn't die, but just hid, and gave him another nickname - 'Red Batgirl'. ”

"Ha, let's lie to people, who doesn't know that the Red Whisk Girl is in the 'Three Heroes of Wind and Dust', and she is not a thief at all. Shangguan Yushi seized the loophole and immediately shouted.

"It's not the same person, I'm talking about bats of bats, the magic hand dragon wore red clothes when he committed suicide, and he likes to go out by day and night, just like bats, so he is called Red Batgirl. ”

"Miaoshou Shenlong is a woman?" Shangguan Ru said in surprise.

"Well, it's a woman. ”

"You made it up, bad story. Shangguan Yushi pouted and said that she always didn't believe in Huan Nu.

"There is no lie, if you don't believe it, if you ask people who have been to the Central Plains, they must know that I heard from someone who has seen the corpse of the Red Batgirl. ”

The theft of the palace was the last and biggest case before Gu Lun stepped down, and the jade seal was snatched back by him, Gu Shenwei was of course impressed, but in order to attract two listeners, he added a lot of branches and leaves.

The story is not twisty enough, and the ending is not perfect, but the two girls listen to it and lie on the windowsill together to yearn for it.

"When you first said there was a way to play in the Fort just like the real thing, that's what you were referring to. Shangguan Ru suddenly remembered Huan Nu's promise.

"Hmm. ”

"We can't really kill people, but we can really steal. Shangguan Yushi also woke up.

"And you can steal something special and surprise everyone. Gu Shenwei instigated, thinking that it was best to steal the Six Killing Palace.
