Chapter Twenty-Eight: Eavesdropping

What kind of knife is this?

This blade is four feet three inches long, weighs ten catties and four coins, and the blade is thin and transparent and golden.

The sword cast by the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty before he set out to conquer Wu was named "Swallow Wu", which means to swallow Wu in one fell swoop.

It was written in the books, and it was true that the knife had been like this at least a quarter of an hour before.

Now it is broken, and it has been cut by the sword.

The blade that was originally four feet three inches was only three feet seven inches left.

When the swords touched, the two of them only heard a "ding" sound, and a small golden tip immediately whistled across the treetops.

Yuwen Xia was stunned in place, and the fifth small building was also stunned, and the two looked up, watching the golden tip of the knife draw a golden arc in the air, and finally sank into the moat silently.

When the short sword was sheathed, Fifth Xiaolou's face was already red, her eyes kept flickering, and she didn't know what to say for a while when she looked at Yu Wenxia, who was stunned in place.

At this time, it seems that whatever is said is mockery.

No one dared to mock the saber of the First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one would have imagined that the world-famous Wu Swallowing Sword could be so neatly broken under a short blade.

When Yu Wenxia came back to his senses, the broken knife had also been returned to its sheath.

He held the Wu Swallowing Knife in both hands and weighed it up and down twice, and suddenly sighed: "I have to make a new scabbard another day." ”

He was still smiling, but the smile was too bitter.

So much so that the fifth Xiaolou couldn't help but comfort: "I'll go and fish up the tip of the knife now, besides, there are so many famous craftsmen in the northern capital, maybe it can be repaired." ”

Before she could finish speaking, she leaned down and began to take off her shoes and roll up her trouser legs, as if she was really going to drip into the icy river to scoop the tip of her knife up.

Yu Wenxia stopped smiling, grabbed the shoulder of the fifth small building, and said, "It's okay, my family still doesn't lack this bit of knife repair materials." ”

Fifth Xiaolou looked at him, his eyes blinked and blinked, and he said tentatively, "Really?"

Yu Wenxia spread out his hands and said, "What do you think?"

The fifth Xiaolou said: "I think what you said is true?"

Yuwen Xia said: "Of course it's true!"

The fifth Xiaolou had to put on his shoes, and muttered again: "That's right, there are still things in the world that are not your family." ”

The sun is shining, but the cold wind is more urgent.

Winter is indeed a bad season to go out.

The two who came out to compete in martial arts have not started yet, but they have become idle again.

The two were talking and laughing on the road, maybe they were out to hang out?

Morning. Stalls have been set up on both sides of the streets, some selling bread, some meat, and some buying wine.

What is rare is that the fifth Xiaolou is holding not wine, but bread. She bit off half of the cake fiercely, and muttered, "Speaking of which, you can eat this kind of thing too?"

Yuwen Xia ate more fragrant than her, and said with a smile: "I gnawed on the grassroots when I was handling cases in Jiangnan a few years ago. ”

The fifth seemed to be more interested, and suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "But then again, why did you run out and be a catcher when you let go of a good prince?"

Yu Wenxia said lightly: "Of course there is." ”

The fifth Xiaolou said: "Then you still have it?"

Yu Wenxia seemed to smile and said, "Do you know where to plant and where?"

The fifth Xiaolou immediately said: "I don't know!"

Yu Wenxia smiled bitterly and said, "You'd better not know, it's not a good place." ”

The fifth small building said: "You don't say how do I know if it's a good place?"

Yu Wenxia didn't answer her, and his expression suddenly became very strange, because he saw a very strange person.

The fifth Xiaolou couldn't help but turn her head to look behind her, the street was bustling, and she didn't see anything unusual for a long time.

Yu Wenxia suddenly said, "Who do you guess I saw?"

The fifth Xiaolou couldn't help laughing and said, "You're the hell in broad daylight, right?"

"Someone who shouldn't appear more than a ghost. ”

"Who?"

"Enron!"

Sure enough, it was a person who shouldn't have appeared, and the fifth Xiaolou's hand quietly touched the hilt of the sword, and suddenly turned his head to carefully look at the appearance of everyone on the street.

Yuwen Xia smiled and said, "Don't look at it, you won't recognize it." ”

"Why?"

"He's transfigured, and if you just look at his face, you can't see it. ”

The eyes of the fifth small building were full of surprise: "Even the disguised person, you can recognize it?"

Yu Wenxia was not modest, he took a sip of tea and nodded with a smile.

The fifth Xiaolou said: "How did you recognize it?"

Yuwen Xia shrugged: "One of the secret techniques of the Divine Capture Mansion, of course I can't tell you casually." ”

Almost everyone in the Divine Hunting Mansion knows this set of secret techniques, if they can't even recognize people, who else will they catch?

The corners of the fifth Xiaolou's eyes jumped, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Yu Wenxia: "Then why is he here?"

Yu Wenxia didn't care about her gaze and said, "I don't know why he's here, but I know he doesn't seem to see us." ”

The fifth Xiaolou frowned and said, "It doesn't seem to be seen?"

Yu Wenxia glanced behind her and said, "I just saw it, but I have to pretend not to see it." ”

The fifth Xiaolou said: "Could it be a trap?"

Yu Wenxia smiled again and said, "Even if it's a trap, I've caught no less than thirty masters since my debut, which time is not Longtan Tiger's Den?"

Without waiting for the fifth Xiaolou to speak, he picked up the long knife and walked out, and said without looking back: "You go back first, I will meet him." ”

The fifth Xiaolou did not speak, but silently followed behind him with his sword, as if he wanted to answer him with action.

Walking through the street, Yu Wenxia suddenly sighed and said, "Didn't you say that you should go back, why are you following up?"

The fifth Xiaolou squinted and said lightly: "Why can't I go?"

Yuwen Xia said: "It's too dangerous there. ”

The fifth small building said: "It's too dangerous, so I'm going." ”

Yuwen Xia was stunned, but before he could react, he heard the fifth small building say: "Don't think about it, my friends don't have many, and if you die, you will have one less." ”

Yu Wenxia finally couldn't help laughing, his eyes were full of joy, although he didn't laugh out loud, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

The fifth Xiaolou's face seemed to be red, and he kicked Yu Wenxia again, and said fiercely: "If you don't leave, you won't be able to catch up!"

An Ranzhi didn't deliberately hide from the two, in fact, there was no need to hide from his disguise technique, if it wasn't for Yu Wenxia pointing it out, the fifth small building would not have believed that the lame old vegetable seller in the alley was actually An Ranzhi, the head of the Li Mansion who was unparalleled in the world.

He carried the vegetable basket in both hands, and moved through the alley with difficulty, and from time to time passers-by greeted him, and he answered them one by one with a smile, looking like an old resident who had lived here for many years.

Could it be that he has lived here for many years? Why did he sneak into this inconspicuous alley? Could it be that the secret point of contact of the Bloody Cloak House is here?

The fifth small building didn't know, and Yu Wenxia was also confused, so the two of them lay on the eaves, staring at An Ranzhi in the alley, wanting to see where he was going.

The inconspicuous alley, the inconspicuous old man, and even the small courtyard he entered were also so inconspicuous.

He walked into the courtyard, his originally stiff waist suddenly straightened, the door of the house in the small courtyard was hidden, he immediately jumped into the house with a happy face, and the two of them heard a "squeak" sound on the eaves, and the door was closed.

The fifth Xiaolou suddenly looked at Yu Wenxia, but found that he was also looking at her.

She just wanted to speak, but heard Yu Wenxia whisper: "I'll go down and have a look." ”

After he said this, the person was already in mid-air, suddenly volleyed a few times, and landed lightly in the small courtyard.

The fifth small building also jumped out with a scolding, and barely fell into the courtyard after two takeoffs.

Although the yard is small but very simple, a row of freshly washed clothes is hung on the side of the yard, and most of the clothes are skirts, so it can be seen that the permanent residence in this yard should be a woman.

There was a sound of conversation coming from the house, and in addition to An Ranzhi's voice, there was also a woman's voice.

The fifth Xiaolou didn't hear it very clearly, and was about to take a few steps closer to listen carefully, but was suddenly stopped by Yu Wenxia.

She whispered, "What's wrong? What did you hear?"

Yu Wenxia's expression was strange, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he whispered: "Forget it, you still don't listen." ”

"Why can't I listen?"

"Because it's not right to listen right now. ”

"We're eavesdropping, and this is also an occasion?"

"Because they're about to start. ”

"What to start?

"Start a thing that cannot be eavesdropped"

"What can't be eavesdropped?"

"You must hear it?"

"Listen to what's going on, maybe you'll hear some clues. ”

The smile in Yu Wenxia's eyes became even stronger, and he turned sideways and said, "Whatever you want." ”

The fifth Xiaolou stared at his smiling face, and slowly walked a few steps closer to the room, and before he could get closer, he heard a series of "squeaks" of the bed shaking.

She held her forehead, and suddenly turned her head to look at Yu Wenxia, who bowed down and covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing.

Sure enough, it's not suitable for eavesdropping!
