Chapter 46 The Redeemer(1/2)
Xu Qian sat on the big chair, holding the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Let's talk about it."
Miss Rongrong pursed her red lips and said, "Since Mr. Xu has heard of my name, he must be familiar with the Thousand-Faced Snitch."
"I've heard of it." Xu Qian touched her chin and looked at her: "Are you saying that the person who stole my treasure was actually the Thousand-faced female snitch?
"Min Yinluo, help me find the information about the female snitch."
Min Shan then asked the clerk to look for it. After a cup of tea, the clerk came over with a booklet, opened the corresponding page, and handed it to Xu Qian.
There is not much information about the Thousand-Faced Snitch. It is only recorded that she is a very powerful thief who works alone and does not know her master's background. She has committed numerous crimes, large and small, and has never been caught.
This record provided Xu Qian with two pieces of information: First, the other party was not an ordinary thief, he had committed major crimes repeatedly and never failed.
Secondly, the female snitch's field is limited to stealing and does not have much destructive power, so the watchman's office only has a few records and does not pay much attention to it.
"He is a very professional snitch." Xu Qi'an closed the book, returned it to the official, and asked the tied-up girl Rongrong:
"Why did the Thousand-Faced Snitch disguise herself as you?"
Miss Rongrong sneered and said: "Who knows, maybe she is jealous of my good dancing skills."
..... It seems that they had been fighting each other, so they were retaliated against. Xu Qian grabbed the sword and hung it back on his waist, and said: "Min Yinluo, I will leave it to you. You can't do it until I agree."
If you let them go, it will be useless if anyone comes."
After the big break, Xu Qian hurried out of the Yamen, mounted his beloved little mare, and galloped towards the outer city.
The only option was to find Taoist Priest Jin Lian to come forward in person. Fortunately, he knew where Taoist Jin Lian lived, although he had never been there.
The sun was gradually moving westward, and the curfew would be in one hour. He had to find the female thief before the curfew and get the fragment of the book back, otherwise he would have to go back to the Yamen and ask Wei Yuan to sign a search warrant.
Taoist priest Jin Lian dominates Beicheng, in a small courtyard facing the river. The characteristic is this little scarecrow standing on the roof of the main house.
Xu Qian arrived here and knocked on the courtyard door. It was quiet inside and no one answered.
"The Taoist priest is out?"
Xu Qian climbed over the wall into the courtyard and opened the door of the main room. The room was clean and tidy. On the bed, Taoist Priest Jin Lian was lying with a peaceful face, as if he had died.
Xu Qi'an called out "Taoist Master" several times, and when he saw that he was still asleep, he knew that this old guy had gone out for a walk on the cat again.
Why did I suddenly develop such a quirk... What should I do? The Taoist priest doesn't know when he will come back... Xu Qi'an frowned and thought for a moment, and then he paid attention.
He strolled to the bed, raised his hand, opened his bow from left to right, and slapped the Taoist priest across the face.
As a mature martial artist, Taoist Priest Jinlian should know how to protect his body. He must have a backup plan. As long as his body is hurt, he can immediately sense it, and even...
"Bah bang bang!"
There was only applause in the room.
After a long time, Xu Qi'an heard Taoist Jin Lian's emotionless voice coming from the door: "What are you doing."
The applause stopped immediately. Xu Qi'an came back to his senses in surprise, looked at the door and said: "Taoist Master, you are back."
An orange cat stood at the threshold, looking at him faintly.
Seeing that Taoist Master Jin Lian was silent, Xu Qi'an hurriedly explained: "I have something urgent to come to see you, but you are not in the courtyard. I guess you must have some backup plans in your body, so I can only take this last step."
The orange cat still said in a voice without emotion: "Then have you guessed that the moment you entered the yard, I had already sensed it."
Even Taoist Priest Jin Lian sensed the arrival of a guest when I was admitted to the hospital... Xu Qian said blankly: "I don't know."
The orange cat nodded, walked into the house with elegant cat steps, jumped on the bed, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"The fragments of my book were stolen."
At that moment, he told Taoist Jinlian about how he encountered the Thousand-Faced Female Thief and how he mistakenly arrested Miss Rongrong.
"After the fragment of the Book from the Earth is identified as its owner, outsiders will not be able to see the book or take out the contents. You can rest assured." The orange cat was very calm.
"Then when I got it from you, it was ownerless?"
"The mark was wiped off by the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect."
Xu Qi'an nodded, he already knew these things, "Without further delay, let's go recover the fragments of the Earthly Book."
"Come with me."
The orange cat jumped off the bed and ran out of the house. After Xu Qi'an chased it out, he found it squatting on the horse's back, tilting its head, waiting for him quietly.
Why doesn't Taoist Master take action physically? Even if having sex with cats is his hobby, but now he's doing business... Is there no difference for him between taking action physically and using his soul?
With doubts, Xu Qi'an untied the horse, touched the face of the young mare, and felt aggrieved to let another man ride it once.
Da da da......
The little mare ran wildly on the spacious street, pedestrians consciously retreated, and there was no unsightly blockage in the middle of the road.
This is an era when people give way to cars.
"Turn left!"
The orange cat suddenly said.
Xu Qi'an turned the horse's head, controlling the little mare to complete a beautiful graceful movement, and turned to the left.
Under the command of Taoist Priest Jin Lian, Xu Qi'an moved from North City to East City and came outside an inn. Taoist Priest Jin Lian said: "The fragments of the Book of the Earth are inside."
When he spoke, Xu Qi'an felt a sense of blood connection, mysterious and mysterious, and he could clearly sense the location of the fragments of the Earthly Book.
The fragments of the Book of the Earth can interact with the host at close range.
...........
In a certain room in the inn.
Wearing heavy makeup, a woman with big almond eyes and soft eyes sat at the table, holding her chin in one hand and playing with a small jade mirror in the other.
"Why can't I use this baby?"
The fake girl Rongrong looked at the fragment of the book on the ground. It looked ordinary at first glance, but as the only descendant of the thieves, she had a keen intuition about treasures.
Searching for treasures is the innate skill of the thieves disciples.
There were many strange patterns on the mirror surface, including boxes, silver notes, military crossbows, and silver ingots... With her years of "treasure hunting" experience, she quickly made a guess:
This is a magic weapon that sheds blood to identify its owner, and it has a built-in storage function.
Girl "Rong Rong" was immediately excited. She didn't expect to catch so many big fish in one net. Not only did she get a treasure, but there was also a huge fortune in it.
"How to take out what's inside..."
The fake Rongrong held the fragment of the book and banged it on the table.
She has never seen a magic weapon that requires a drop of blood to identify its owner, and is helpless. Of course, one principle remains unchanged, as long as the magic weapon is destroyed, the items stored in it will automatically fall off.
But this is a magic weapon that sheds blood to identify its owner. Its value is immeasurable, and it certainly cannot be done by killing the goose that lays the egg.
Suddenly, there was a "dong dong" knock on the door.
"who?"
"Rong Rong" the girl asked with a frown. She didn't ask the waiter for hot water, and the rent was still sufficient.
"Check the water frame." A man's voice came from outside.
Hearing this voice, the girl "Rong Rong" changed her face. Without thinking, she grabbed the small jade mirror and put it in her pocket, stood up, stepped forward, and rushed to the window.
"Bang!"
She opened the window and was about to escape when she saw an orange cat squatting by the window, its amber pupils looking at her faintly.
The girl "Rong Rong" wanted to have a steel nail embedded in her brain, tearing her soul apart. She covered her head and sat down on the ground with a groan.
The door was pushed open, and Xu Qian, holding the knife with one hand, entered the room with a step that he did not recognize.
The orange cat also jumped into the house from the window.
"It's really you!"
Xu Qi'an pulled out a long black gold knife, put it on the neck of girl "Rong Rong", and hummed: "Thousand-faced female thief."
"Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Rong Rong" girl's smart eyes moved, as if she was thinking about countermeasures.
Xu Qian reached out his hand and grabbed it gently. The fragments of the book flew out of the arms of the girl "Rong Rong" and automatically fell into his hand.
"Rong Rong" the girl said "Yeah" and stretched out her hand to try to keep her, but when her neck hurt, she gave up her plan in frustration.
This man is so powerful that even ten of him are not enough to kill him with one sword.
After checking the fragments of the book to confirm that the items inside were not missing, Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone in his heart dropped.
The gold, silver and silver notes in the mirror were all his belongings. He had been in this world for half a year, and had been through wind and rain, and he had managed to save them with great difficulty.
It's all my wife's fault.
He took the fragment of the book back into his arms, then withdrew the knife, pulled up a chair and sat down, looking at the frustrated female snitch with a smile, and said:
"Hey, why don't you quibble?"
"Everyone gets the stolen goods, so what's the point?" The female snitch rolled her eyes and muttered:
To be continued...
