XII. Thieves

Liu Hanzhou and Chen Miqiu left, the big mansion was empty, and Lin Zexuan felt that it was not interesting to continue to stay here, so he walked out with big pigtails and swaggered, wanting to walk around the city. The prosperity of the capital is very attractive to Lin Zexuan. He has seen so many people in Liaodong, and He has seen so many novelties.

There are many people playing acrobatics on the streets, playing monkeys and the like, and Lin Ze is dizzying and constantly applauded. At this moment, the voices of a pair of storytellers came not far away.

"Do you know about the theft of the palace last night?" said a gray-bearded storyteller.

"News came out from the palace again, someone sneaked into the Qianqing Palace last night and stole the Qing army's defense map from the seven southern provinces. Do you know that the Qianqing Palace is the sleeping palace of the Shunzhi Emperor. In other words, someone sneaked into the emperor's sleeping place in the heavily guarded palace, and stole the defense map. Tsk tsk, what a clever skill this can do. The storyteller continued.

"And who is this man who entered the palace to commit theft?" a listener asked the storyteller.

"That's a good question, it wasn't one person who entered the palace last night to steal the picture, but a man and a woman. I think you've all heard of the names of the Three Heroes, right? These heroes who walk the rivers and lakes, often the most powerful martial arts, often have the shortest names. The so-called three heroes are the swordsmen in Shu, Cheng Yunshu, who has no door and no faction in one hand, and the swordsmanship of thousands of schools is unrivaled. Then there is the Northern Guangdong Medical Hero, Ai Chunyi, martial arts are not to be said, there are countless living people in the world, this kind of living dead, flesh and bones, the ability of the world is the first. Finally, there is the Jiangnan thief, Liu Hanzhou, who is rich and unkind in the world. Thieves steal ill-gotten gains and give to the poor. And the person who robbed the palace this time was the thief Liu Hanzhou. Entering the palace with him was his smiling wife, the fine willow breeze, Chen Miqiu. This woman is not simple, from the Emei faction, her willow footwork can be described as a doppelganger, so that others can not see the figure clearly, if you want to talk about light skills, Chen Miqiu can be ranked in the top five in the world. The storyteller said with a fluttering eyebrow, and others listened to it with relish.

Lin Zexuan also listened to the storyteller's words. "It turns out that Brother Liu and his wife are so not simple, wow, thieves, they look so powerful. Lin Zexuan said silently in his heart.

The storyteller continued: "Last night, the Thieves and their sneak into the palace were silent, and no one found out. It was only in the second half of the night that the eunuch on duty saw the door of the Qianqing Palace open, and when he went in, he found that the desk was pressed with a paperweight and a few big characters on it, which was used by borrowing the Jiangnan defense map. That's exactly what the Rogue is doing. The eunuch screamed in fright. Later, all the guards in the palace were dispatched, but at that time, the thieves and their wives had already left, how could they still be found? Emperor Shunzhi did not rest in the Qianqing Palace yesterday, otherwise, I think we might have changed to an emperor in the Qing Dynasty today, right?"

When everyone heard the storyteller's words, they all shouted with joy. The storyteller was very proud.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the crowd. "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Death, get out of the way. An official with a group of catchers pushed away the crowd and pulled out his knife. "Come on, take down this storyteller who is misleading the people. The official said sharply.

"Haha, just because you still want to catch me?" the storyteller laughed loudly, turned around, and disappeared.

The official dared to wipe his eyes tightly to make sure he was not dazzled.

"Head, the man is gone. This can't take anyone, how can you explain it when you go back?" said the person next to the official in a low voice.

"Are you blind to me?" said the official angrily. I thought to myself, this guy is a hard stubble, and he can't be messed with. Then he glanced at the ground at random and saw a middle-aged man who had just been pushed to the ground by them.

"It's him, take down this thief who bewitches the people. The official pointed a knife at the middle-aged man who had fallen to the ground.

As soon as the people arrived, they stepped forward and locked up the middle-aged man. Pity this middle-aged man who suffered from this unjustified disaster, he didn't even have the courage to cry out for injustice, but his face turned pale, and he looked at the fierce gods who took him with great horror.

Lin Zexuan was very angry when he saw this scene, isn't this reversing black and white? So he didn't think about it, and shouted: "Wait, this person hasn't said a word, how can he come from to confuse the public?"

"Heh, I'm stunned. He is an accomplice of this thief, and he shall be taken down quickly. The official was laughed at by Lin Zexuan's actions, he had never seen such a stupid person.

The surrounding onlookers who didn't know the truth also looked at Lin Zexuan with the eyes of fools. "That's not how you look for death. The crowd thought to themselves.

"Hmph, I'll see who dares. Lin Zexuan drew his sword without hesitation. Since the last time I saw Liu Hanzhou kill more than 20 people while talking and laughing, I had a kind of happiness in my heart, so I didn't hesitate to draw my knife. Thieves, this kind of heroes praised by the rivers and lakes are like this, what if I kill these shameless villains.

Lin Zexuan didn't hesitate, kicked the ground on his toes, and swung his sword at the little catchers who were rushing towards him.

The sword light flickered, and in just one move, the sword had been sheathed, and the person had landed.

The catchers were all lying on the ground, their veins broken, their breathing, and not a drop of blood.

At the same time as Lin Zexuan put away his sword, a dirty beggar ten meters away, his eyes lit up, and the original wooden eyes were gone, replaced by a kind of fine light.

When the people around them saw the murder, they all ran away, for fear that the city gate would catch fire and affect the fish in the pond. And the official saw that all the catchers under his command had their pigtails curled, and they lost their arrogant momentum. Tremblingly, he pulled out a paper tube from his arms. This is a communication firework, and after it is released, soldiers from the Five Cities Terracotta Division who are patrolling nearby will immediately arrive.

Just as the official was about to pull the paper tube, he was stopped by a beggar, who was the beggar just now. When the arrogant official saw that he was a beggar, he wanted to slap the beggar away. I saw the beggar flip it over with one hand, and when the official saw the object in the beggar's hand, he lost his arrogance. The beggar said lightly: "Get out." “

The official immediately ran away.

"Still want to leave?" Lin Zexuan saw that the official was about to escape, so he picked up his sword and flew away. In mid-air, Lin Zexuan felt a murderous aura, his body rolled over on his side, took the hilt of the sword and turned it, and fell to the ground, and with him landed two triangular darts.

Lin Zexuan saw that it was a hidden weapon, and dared to look up, wanting to see who shot the dart. The official took advantage of the gap and ran away. And the beggar was gone.

The middle-aged man who had just been held by someone cried bitterly and ran to Lin Zexuan's side to thank him. Lin Zexuan was thinking about this dart in his heart, absent-minded. It's just hastily responded: "Uh-huh, it's okay, it should be"

Who exactly shot the hidden weapon at me? Lin Zexuan kept asking.

"Forget it, I don't want to, I can't think about it. The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Lin Zexuan patted the dust on his body and said to himself: "It seems that I am hungry again." What are you going to eat now?"

"Did you really see that?"

"I really saw it. “

"You didn't see the dazzle?"

"I didn't look dazzled. “

In a gloomy room, the two conversed. One of them was the beggar.

"Hmph, after so many years, I've finally found it. Another man stood in a dark corner and slapped the table.

"But his martial arts are very high, I guess I can't help him, so I didn't show up to get him. The beggar said a little timidly.

"I'll go get him personally. In this way, we can avenge the severed finger of the year. Haha, God lives up to me, after so many years, I actually found it, haha. The dark corner makes people look down on his face, but from the sound of the voice, the expression must be very hideous.

The beggar standing next to him couldn't help but shiver, and a cold breath was rising from his neck.
