That night the assassin entered the Hou Mansion, and Wu Xi, the commander of the Hou Mansion, got a sword. Shi Xiao saw it under the torch. The hilt looked like the one held by the young man.
The blade of the sword can emit a faint light, which is unforgettable at first sight.
Later, the sword disappeared in the chaos. Mr. Wu felt very sorry for it, saying that the sword was called "Autumn Water" and it was an extremely rare treasure. It seemed to be more precious than Wu Xi's sword.
If the sword sold by this beggar is really the one that was lost at this moment, Master Wu will definitely reward him with a sum of money if he gets it. Besides, the sword that was lost at this moment did not lose its scabbard, so where did this scabbard come from? If so,
If you can trace the whereabouts of this moment from the scabbard, I'm afraid even the Duke will reward you!
Shi Xiao quickly stepped forward and said to the poor young man: "Bring your sword to me!"
The young man handed over the sword, and Shi Xiao took it. He unsheathed the sword and saw a flash of green light and a chill. It really had the seal character "Autumn Water Sword" on it. Shi Xiao didn't ask about the price of the sword, but he asked the poor beggar.
: "What's your name? What do you do?"
The man said: "When you buy a sword, just buy a sword. Ask me my name and what I do. What do you mean?"
Shi Xiaodao: "Don't you dare to tell me?"
The poor beggar said: "Dare to speak, dare to speak. My name is Feng Zhou, and I specialize in beating watchdogs."
Shi Xiao was stunned and felt very unhappy.
Because Shi Heng brought down Yu Qian, he had a very bad reputation among the people. In addition, the servants of the Hou Mansion were domineering, so they were often called "watchdogs" by people on the street.
So when Shi Xiao heard the word "watchdog", his ears were inevitably pricked. He stared at Feng Zhou and asked, "What do you think you do?"
Feng Zhou grinned and said happily: "I am a beggar. When we beg on the street, the watchdog bites our thighs when he sees it. So we must prepare a dog-beating stick specifically for beating the watchdog. Therefore, the beggar is
'Specialized in fighting watchdogs'."
Shi Xiao snorted coldly and said: "That's all. You bought the sword, you come with me to get the money!"
Feng Zhou said: "You haven't asked how much this sword sells for!"
Shi Xiao looked at the sword in his hand and said: "My favorite thing is swords. I think your sword is a good sword. I don't care how much it is, so I kept it. I just never expected to meet such a good thing in the market.
I don’t have a lot of money with me. If you follow me to your home, I’ll give you any money you want.”
Feng Zhousuo: "Listening to what you said, you are a very good person. The better the person is, the more I should not explain it to you clearly. Youdao is 'ask for a high price, pay back on the spot'. I charge you 10,000 taels here."
, if you give me back ten taels, I might sell it to you. When I get to your house, I want ten thousand taels. You have already told me, "I will pay you any amount of silver," so you have to give me ten thousand taels.
, wouldn’t it be a big loss?”
Shi Xiao thought to himself: This kid is difficult to deal with! He showed his arrogance, waved his hand and said, "I tell you to follow me, and you just follow me!" After saying that, he turned around and left. He was very confident in his heart: "I'll take it.
Your sword can’t help but keep you from leaving!”
After walking a few steps, Shi Xiao looked back and saw that the young beggar was still standing there, holding a sword in his arms. Shi Xiao asked sharply: "Where is my sword?" He didn't know when, but he had already become empty-handed.
Shi Xiao was puzzled. The sword was clearly in Yiji's hand just now, so why did it return to his hand all of a sudden?
Shi Xiao didn't believe that there was such a strange thing. Maybe he returned the poor beggar and was so happy that he forgot about it for a while.
He turned back, grabbed the sword and walked forward. After walking a few steps, the sword was gone again. Looking back, he looked at the poor beggar, holding the sword as if nothing had happened, facing the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Buy a sword?"
There is no…”
Shi Xiao was immediately horrified. He was a son of the Shi family. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child. Although it was sparse and ordinary, he relied on the connections of the Shi family to fight on the battlefield and knew a lot of stunts in rivers and lakes. It was expected that this young beggar would have strong martial arts skills and the sword power he had regained.
, with such fast skills, I am afraid that it will not be easy for me to deal with him. Moreover, it is not suitable to use force in a large public. If he has accomplices by his side, it will be easier to scare the snake. It is better to go back to the Hou Mansion immediately and report to Master Wu, and he will also be a part of it.
Credit.
As for informing the Jinyi Guards, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and other officers, Shi Heng's family was aloof and did not want this credit to fall into their hands.
Thinking of this, Shi Xiao said to the poor beggar: "Since you don't want to go with me to get the money, just give up. You tell me how much the sword will sell for, and I will go back to get the money. You wait for me here and don't go away."
"
Feng Zhou said: "This is good. I ask for five thousand taels for this sword. If you pay in silver, you can give me two thousand taels. You don't need to bring much. One thousand taels is enough. But if you want to take two or three
Even if I sell it for a hundred taels of silver, I won’t sell it, so don’t even think of that!”
Shi Xiao nodded after hearing this, expecting that the young beggar would not leave even for a thousand taels of silver, so he flew back to the Hou Mansion to find Wu Xi.
Feng Zhou looked at the big fish and was about to take the bait. When he was about to turn around and go back to tell Xu Ting, he saw the bald Li Chishui coming from a distance, so he stopped and waited for him, telling him to take Xu Ting to Fuyuan Lane to wait for his enemy.
However, not long after Li Chishui left, Feng Zhou saw Shi Xiao holding a waist knife, pushing aside the crowd and squeezing over. Behind him was a red-faced man, who also had a waist knife. When Feng Zhou saw him, he couldn't help but shake his head. It turned out to be that person.
acquaintance.
It turned out that that person was Fang Chilong, a master in the Hou Mansion. The one who pestered Xu Ting that night and was shot by Feng Zhou's plan. Looking a little further away, there was a tall man with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, it was Fang Chilong.
Feng Zhou saw them approaching and turned around to leave. Shi Xiao felt happy when he saw Feng Zhou still standing there. Seeing him turn around, he immediately quickened his pace and turned around to tell Wu Xi: "That kid is going to run away!"
Wu Xi had already seen the poor young man holding the sword walking quickly in front of Shi Xiao. Before Shi Xiao could say anything, Wu Xi had already sneered, held down the sword on his waist, and jumped up from the crowd like a "dry land plucker".
Passing over the heads of the crowd, he landed outside a long wall and hurried forward a few steps to guard the exit of the market.
He stopped and searched the crowd with his eyes, but the young man holding the sword disappeared. When he turned around, he saw that the child had already left the market and was walking away. Wu Xi was immediately surprised: "This boy's footsteps
He has some skills, and he's faster than me!" At this time, he had no time to think about it and just chased after him.
Feng Zhou looked back and saw Wu Xi chasing after him, so he ran away. Although he was out of the market, there were still many people walking on the street. Wu Xi felt that it was in the way and could not use it. However, he saw that the poor boy in front was very nimble, as if he was among the weeds.
A swimming fish, scurrying back and forth without any hindrance. Seeing that he was about to be unable to catch up, fortunately, the guy panicked a little and actually fell onto his back. He couldn't struggle for a while, and the sword leaf was thrown far away.
Wu Xi was secretly happy, so he chased after him and held him down. Unexpectedly, the child was as slippery as a loach and slipped out of his hand. He ran a few steps, grabbed the sword from the ground, and turned into an alley.
Wu Xi chased into the alley and became happy again. It turned out that although the alley was wide, it was a dead end with a high wall at the end. This guy must have been so panicked that he ended up in a dead end.
Seeing that we were about to reach the end, the poor beggar suddenly shouted: "It's been robbed! It's been robbed! Someone's robbed my sword!"
Before the shouting ended, a girl in tights and a little beggar suddenly appeared from a doorway at the end. The poor boy who was running threw the sword in his hand to the girl, and the girl flashed it three feet with a "swish" sound.
Qingfeng, Wu Xi's mind flashed: "Sure enough, we have caught up to the root!"
