Chapter 4: The so-called grievances always involve the past
The world is always surging, but to say what spreads the fastest in this lake and sea, it is nothing more than the word "news".
People in the martial arts world are chewy, interesting stories in the martial arts world, secret history of the martial arts world, and scandals. They are not afraid of it.
It is possible that what you did yesterday will be known to everyone in the city today.
Just like now, a message has spread.
"Hey, have you heard of it? Just a while ago, Yan Tingzhi, the head of the Six Gates Southeast General Store, joined forces with twenty famous experts and constables in Changyang City to capture the thief Li Si."
In this tavern, there were three or two drinkers chatting about four or five gossips in the world.
"Hiss, such a big move?"
"Who said no, but even with such a big disturbance, the thief escaped. Now, the entire Jiangnan has been disturbed by this incident."
"Yes, I heard that Yan Tingzhi had spoken out. If anyone can provide the news about the thief Li Si, he will be rewarded with ten taels. If he can be punished with the thief, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels. If he can capture the thief alive, he will be rewarded with tens of taels."
"Ten Thousand Taxis!? Very generous!"
"There is no way, do you know who is behind Yan Tingzhi? That's the current emperor!"
"Master, how can the Master in charge of these trivial matters in the world today?"
"Hey, I said brother, your news is so blocked, don't you know this?"
"Hehe, let's not hide it from my elder brother, my younger brother Zhang Song. I just went down the mountain gate and didn't know anything about these news about the world."
"It's done, then I'll talk to you, this, ahem, you see, I'm not feeling well these days and I'm thirsty again."
"Oh, I don't have to worry about it. Waiter, come and have a pot of good wine!"
"Okay!"
Xiao Er put on the drinks neatly. The big man at the table took a sip of red face, and under the expectant gaze of the handsome boy next to him, he began to shake his head and say.
"If you want to talk about this thief Li Si, you can't explain it clearly in a few words, but if you want to talk about why the saint is trying to capture him today, it will start with the case of the white jade bracelet four years ago."
"The White Jade Bracelet Case?"
"Yes, the cause of this white jade bracelet is that the current emperor wants to celebrate the New Year for Princess Chang'an..."
"Four years ago, the second sister of the emperor, Princess Chang'an and the hairpin.
In order to give this sister a gift, the emperor racked his brains. Finally, he ordered all the craftsmen in the palace to use thousand-year-old jade to create a jade bracelet for the princess, named it the white jade bracelet.
This white jade bracelet is an ordinary name, but it is a rare treasure. It is made of the secret treasure collected by the palace, made of warm white jade. It shines in the sun and has colorful colors at night.
The princess was extremely moved and said that she was not worthy of this strange jade.
But the emperor said that Princess Chang'an is the most beautiful jade in the world. Any jade worn on her hands is just a high-end addition, so how can she not be worthy of it?
So in the world at that time, the name of Jade Chang'an was mentioned from this.
By chance, the thief heard this title.
At that time, the Thief made a bet with people, saying that they would go and see the most beautiful jade in the world.
But who knows whether he is talking about the jade bracelet or the jade beauty?
Only a month later, he rushed to the imperial city, visited the palace at night, and sneaked into the bedroom of the Chang'an Princess.
Under the noses of countless experts, the white jade bracelet was stole.
This is awesome. The emperor was furious and said that he would capture this thief to serve as a warning to others.
But things are not over yet.
Two days later, the thief actually returned the white jade bracelet and even left a few words to the Chang'an Princess.
It is said: Although jade bracelets are colorful, they are difficult to compare with beautiful women. Colorful stones are easy to pick, but beautiful women are hard to find. Now there is a bracelet here, and beautiful jade is just the right one.
So some people say that the stolen saints returned the bracelet because he saw Chang'an when he was stealing the bracelet.
I think the most beautiful jade in the world is indeed not a white jade bracelet, but Chang'an.
He could steal the white jade bracelet, but he couldn't steal Chang'an. It would be useless if the white jade bracelet came, so he returned it.
The news came out, and it was shocking the whole world.
This is not just a simple matter of stealing a jade bracelet, but also teasing the princess.
Some people also heard that Princess Chang'an stayed silent for several months after that, and was holding a white jade bracelet all day long, and didn't know what she was thinking about.
The emperor naturally couldn't sit still, so he immediately ordered the six doors to capture the thief and bring him to justice immediately.
But who knew that this capture lasted for four years.
Not to mention that the face of the Six Doors cannot be kept, the face of the Lord cannot be kept.
So compared to the face of the current priest, the reward of tens of thousands of taels is considered to be less."
In the tavern, after saying so much in one go, the man was also dry and slapped. He picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one go.
The young boy beside him heard the eyes and muttered to himself.
"A real man should be born in this world and be as happy as the thief."
"Well, who said it was not? But how many people in this world can have the skill of stealing the saint? They can capture the bright moon from the sky and capture the dragon from the blue sea. It's hard to tsk."
"So, as you say, the martial arts of the Thieves are so powerful, isn't no one in the world able to catch him?"
The young boy asked a little regretfully, it seemed that no one could get the reward of ten thousand taels of money from the lord.
"No, no, no, you can't say that." The big man waved his hand, poured himself a bowl of wine, grinned, and stretched out five fingers.
"In my opinion, there are at least five people in the world who have the chance to catch this thief."
"Oh?" The young boy's eyes lit up and he hurriedly urged: "Brother, don't keep it a secret, tell me quickly."
"Hehe, okay, look at your sincerity, then I will continue to tell you. The first thing is that Baiyun Young Master Jiang Lian'er. Although he is a female name, he is an extremely handsome young man. Although he does not have the shocking light skills of the thief, his light body skills have reached the pinnacle. Not to mention anything else, the word Pianruo Qingyun should be his. What's more amazing is that he also has a set of martial arts called Yunxiu Gong, which can be captured by freely, and is the best in the world. If the thief is careless and accidentally chased by Jiang Lian'er, he may not be able to escape the siege of Baiyun Feixiu."
"What about the second one?"
"That's the second one, it's......"
At the wine table, the big man and the young boy were talking lively.
But I didn't notice that there was a person in the corner who was eavesdropping on their speech.
He was a white-faced boy, very handsome, with red lips and white teeth, dark eyebrows and pink eyes.
The only strange thing is that this young man has no Adam's apple in his throat. Could it be that she is dressed as a man?
At this time, the white-faced young man was drinking, listening to the news about the thief on the table, and curling his lips.
She knew that if the news was correct, the thief would be in Jiangnan now.
