One of them is named Xiao Jin. He is tall and in his thirties. He can tell at a glance that he is a practicing practitioner.
The other person's name is Tang Shao'an, who is much younger than Xiao Jin, in his early twenties, with a delicate face and a thin body. This weak-looking boy has probably less than five people who can be called his opponents in the world.
The boy hurriedly ran over: "Fourteenth Master, helmsman, you are finally back. The gang leader is here."
"Gang leader?" Tang Shaoan and Xiao Jin said in unison.
Xiao Jin is the helmsman of the Nanning City branch. Tang Shaoan was originally entrusted by the gang leader to give Xiao Jin a top-quality sword called Zhanqing Sword.
When Shaoan arrived in Nanning City, he thought that drinking would cause trouble, and the Zhanqing Sword was taken away by someone in the Tianyun Mountain Sect's territory.
"It's over, I'm done. Why did Brother Thirteen come so quickly!" Tang Shaoan's expression tightened and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Gang leader, Chang Shisan, the leader of the Tianyunshan sect, the largest gang in the world. Tang Shaoan's sworn elder brother. It is because of this that people call Tang Shaoan Tang Shishi.
Xiao Jin came to his senses and patted Shaoan on the shoulder, "Fourteen, let's go in quickly. If we keep the gang leader waiting for a long time, we will inevitably be reprimanded soon."
When Shaoan heard Xiao Jin's words, he thought: Oh, forget it, there is no way to escape no matter what, it's better to finish the scolding as soon as possible.
Shaoan and Xiao Yuan walked into the lobby and saw Chang Shisan drinking tea in the lobby.
Although Nanning City is only a branch of Tianyun Mountain, the furnishings in the lobby are very particular, simple and elegant. It can be seen that a lot of effort has been spent on the decoration.
Chang Shisan was wearing a silver-gray robe, sitting upright in the center of the lobby, looking very majestic. He held a tea bowl in his hand and a bright blue ring on his middle finger.
The Tianyun Mountain sect's ring, Tianyun Ring, symbolizes the identity of the gang leader. The dark eyes, tall bridge of the nose, and delicate facial features make people want to take a few more glances, but their high aura makes people afraid to approach them at will.
.
Hearing the footsteps, Chang Shisan concentrated on drinking tea without raising his eyes.
"Greetings to the gang leader." "Brother Thirteen." Shaoan and Xiao Jin came over, bowed and handed over their hands respectfully.
Chang is only twenty-five years old in thirteen years, and people in the world already respect him as number one.
Mo Yang Sword in hand, iron pearl in sleeve.
The iron pill in his sleeve hit hundreds of times, killing his life directly. As for the Mo Yang Sword, since the decisive battle at Tianyun Mountain, the Mo Yang Sword has never been unsheathed. No one can make Chang Shisan use the Mo Yang Sword.
When Jianghu people meet Chang Shisan, everyone must be polite. The brothers in the gang also absolutely respect him.
Chang Shisan was supposed to be drinking tea and had no intention of paying attention to them at all.
The Tianyunshan sect has many rules, and the gang rules are very strict. On weekdays, everyone talks and laughs, but on serious occasions, no one dares to smile playfully in front of the gang leader.
Once someone in the gang makes a mistake, including his sworn brother Tang Shaoan, Chang Shisan will never be lenient in punishing him. Not to mention anyone who brings disgrace to the gang and loses his person.
Seeing that Brother Thirteen did not respond, Shaoan felt even more unsure. Brother Thirteen was really angry this time.
"Guild Leader," Xiao Yuan plopped down and knelt on the ground, "The Zhanqing Sword was lost on the subordinate territory. Xiao Yuan neglected his duty."
Shaoan glanced at Xiao Yuan and complained in his heart, "It's true that you admit your mistakes before I can."
Shaoan quickly followed and knelt down, "Brother Thirteen, Shaoan knows he was wrong."
Chang Shisan glanced at the two people kneeling in front and said, "Xiao Yuan, get up and sit down."
"Thank you, leader."
Shaoan waited for Chang Shisan's next words, but it seemed that Chang Shisan had no intention of letting him get up.
It's embarrassing now. Two people are sitting there. There are guards at the door. I'm kneeling here. Brother Thirteen really doesn't give him any face. The same goes for Xiao Jin. He sat down as soon as he was asked to sit down. He didn't know what to say to me.
Sentence?
Shaoan glanced at Xiao Jin sideways.
Xiao Jin was also smart enough to understand it all at once, and stood up quickly, "Gang leader, you can't blame Shi Shi entirely for this incident. The inn where Shi Shi stayed was the storefront of the sub-rudder. It's okay to have a few more drinks at home.
Who would have thought that this thief would be so bold as to break into our property in the middle of the night and steal."
"Yes, Brother Thirteen." When Shaoan heard Xiao Jin plead for him, he quickly wanted to explain.
Just as he opened his mouth to say a few words, he saw Chang Shisan put the tea bowl on the table with a "pop" sound.
Shaoan suppressed the words that were about to come out of his throat.
This time Shao'an has given up. Don't think about finding anyone to plead for mercy. You should just wait for Brother Thirteen's anger to subside.
"Xiao Jin, can you find any clues now?"
"Gang Leader, everyone in the inn that day was intoxicated by the incense, and the thief was not even noticed when he came."
Chang Shisan glanced at Shaoan.
Everyone knows that Shaoan is a master of poisoning. If he hadn't been so drunk that day, he wouldn't have easily fallen into the trap and let the thieves get his hands on it.
Shaoan didn't dare to raise his head or move, for fear that Chang Shisan would scold him next.
Xiao Jin added: "But Gang Leader, not many people know about Fourteenth's gift of the sword. The news probably didn't leak out. Someone must have seen it when Fourteenth took out the sword that day..."
"Cough, cough" Shaoan pretended to clear his throat and made a sound, interrupting Xiao Jin. Brother Xiao really knew how to pick the right time to finish off his last strike. Brother Thirteen was already angry, but Brother Xiao came to fan the flames.
Chang Shisan immediately said to Xiao Jin: "Go on."
"The innkeeper said that Shi Shi was delirious after drinking too much, so he started talking about martial arts with the guests on a whim, so the Zhan Qing Sword was taken out and used once."
Xiao Jin frowned and told the scene hesitantly. Shi Shi was sorry. I, Xiao Jin, couldn't help it. Don't blame me.
Shaoan was ready to accept the scolding from Brother Thirteen, but unexpectedly, Chang Thirteen ignored him.
"So, if the thief suddenly makes up his mind, then the matter will be simple."
"What the gang leader said is that the sword has not left the city, so the thieves will definitely go to the black market to take action. As long as we keep an eye on it, we will be able to recover the Zhanqing Sword."
Since no one was deliberately planning it, Chang Shisan was relieved. Chang Shisan stood up and walked to Xiao Yuan, "Master Xiao, I originally asked Xiao Shisi to give you the Zhanqing Sword as a reward.
Well. If we make such a fuss, we will have to trouble the brothers in Nanning City to find it back."
When Shaoan heard Brother Thirteen say this, he didn't know where to put his face, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
"I'm tired. Can I stay at your place for the night?" Chang Shisan patted Xiao Yuan's shoulder, the serious look on his face finally disappeared, and there was a slight smile on his lips.
Xiao Jin felt relaxed and said, "What are you talking about, Gang Leader? Please come over here."
Chang Shisan, who was about to walk out of the lobby, suddenly stopped and said to Xiao Yuan: "By the way, give Shishi some food tonight. He will have to kneel here until tomorrow morning to avoid being hungry." After Shisan said
Cross the threshold of the lobby.
"Brother Thirteen! I..." Shaoan shouted out. Although he knew it was useless, he still couldn't control it. It's not evening yet. How can I survive such a long time tomorrow morning?
The lobby was empty except for the guard at the door and the kneeling Shaoan.
The night is slowly getting longer. Is Brother Thirteen really cruel enough to let Shaoan stay in the cold lobby all night?
