In the evening, a piece of news quickly spread throughout Kyoto with the help of thoughtful people. By the next morning, the news had spread throughout the country.
The news is that when the Minister of Rites was searching somewhere, he accidentally got a colorful exquisite stone. Under the night light, the colorful exquisite stone will emit colorful light. It is extremely beautiful and priceless.
When people heard the news, they were not very interested at first. They just got gems. If they didn’t quickly take them to the emperor to claim credit, why would they show off here? But the news wasn’t over yet. After hearing it all
, everyone agreed that the Minister of Rites was crazy.
The Minister of Rites actually said that he would not present this colorful exquisite stone to the emperor for the time being. He set up a game under the Minister of Rites. If someone stole this colorful exquisite stone from him within three days, then this colorful exquisite stone would be destroyed.
The Linglong Stone belongs to that person. Heroes from all over the world are welcome to come. If no one gets it after three days, then he will present the colorful Linglong Stone to the emperor.
As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked. For ordinary people, this was just a talk after dinner, but another type of people were interested.
In this era, there are many people who turn stealing into a profession. There are countless such things as the God of Thieves, the Saint of Thieves, the God of Thieves, and the Thousand-Hand Sect.
As soon as they heard about such a good thing, all thieves with some skills rushed to Kyoto from all over the world. Of course, it was not just thieves who came, some bandits and robbers were also rushing there to see if they could.
Robbery, or take advantage of others.
Two days later in the evening, a group of people were talking about this incident in the lobby on the second floor of a hotel called Yuelai Inn in Kyoto.
"Hey, it's so miserable. The Minister of Rites' defense is too tight. There are three floors inside and three floors outside. Not even a fly can fly in. Yesterday, "God of Thieves" Ji Wuming was killed in less than three seconds after entering.
Throw it out."
"No, the two masters of the Thief Gate and the Thousand Hands Gate cooperated, and they only lasted for more than ten seconds before being thrown out."
"I heard that when "Thief Saint" Bai Yutang saw this, he immediately turned around and left without looking back. Tomorrow is the last day left. I don't think anyone can succeed."
"That's not necessarily true. You have forgotten that there is another person who has not taken action yet."
"Oh? You're talking about the Phantom Thief! It is said that the Phantom Thief has never failed to steal something. No matter how tight the guards are or how complex the mechanisms are, she can't be troubled. I just don't know if she will be interested in this guy.
interest."
"I have a hunch that it will definitely happen, and it will definitely be tomorrow night, but I don't know if it will succeed. But speaking of the Phantom Thief, it is said that she is a very beautiful beauty. If anyone can marry her, he will not have to worry about it in his life.
Already."
"Haha, you just want to eat swan meat. Let's eat it quickly. After eating, we will continue to the Minister of Rites to watch the fun."
"Uh-huh....."
They didn't know that as soon as they finished speaking, a man in black robes sitting by the wall disappeared out of thin air.
The Minister of Rites looked down and stood at the door of a wing with a formal expression, and said: "Sir, two days have passed and the person you are waiting for has not shown up yet. Why don't you delay the time for a few more days."
After saying that, he lowered his head and waited for the people in the wing to answer. He knew that the people in the wing were not ordinary people. In fact, everything the Minister of Rites had done these days was arranged by the people inside with full authority. No matter who he was or what he would do.
He would know in advance what methods he would use to get in, which was why the thieves were discovered so quickly.
At this time, a voice came from the wing: "It doesn't matter, what should appear will always appear. From now on, there is no need to guard, and no one will break in. Now I will trouble the Minister of Rites to act according to the plan tomorrow night. Don't worry,
There will be no life-threatening danger."
"Yes, I'm resigning." The Minister of Rites arrived respectfully, and after saying that, he turned around and hurried to make arrangements.
Sure enough, as the adult said, there were people breaking in from time to time before, but now there is no one there, but for some reason, no one has left Kyoto. After asking about it, I found out that they were waiting for someone, the Phantom Thief.
Regarding the Phantom Thief, the Minister of Rites knew about it. After learning about it, he suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the person your Excellency is waiting for is this Phantom Thief?
In Kyoto, countless people are discussing whether the Phantom Thief will come and whether it will succeed. Some people even started a bet on this.
Amid everyone's expectations, the third day finally arrived. Countless thieves gathered early around Fu, the Minister of Rites, waiting for the arrival of the phantom thief. For them, this has nothing to do with personal gains and losses, but the dignity of thieves.
.
I have been waiting from morning to night, but the Phantom Thief has never appeared. Now the ion time is only a few hours away. For a while, everyone was talking about it. Some even thought that the Phantom Thief would never appear.
In the hall where the Minister of Rites is leaning, the Minister of Rites is sitting in the middle, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand. Inside the wooden box, there should be the colorful exquisite stone. At this time, his expression is a little nervous, but he looks inside on both sides.
The soldiers outside and the highly skilled Jin Yiwei were hiding in the dark, which made him relax involuntarily.
There is an incense stand next to the Minister of Rites. There is an incense stick on the incense stand, which is slowly smoking. When the incense burns out, it means that it is midnight.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone's spirits were raised to the extreme. The Minister of Rites watched the incense drop little by little, and became nervous again. He didn't know if the legendary phantom thief would appear, and in what way.
Appear.
There was only a little bit of incense left, as if it would go out in the next moment. The Minister of Rites was completely relieved. Even if the Phantom Thief appeared in such a short time, nothing could be done.
Outside, people saw that the time was getting closer and closer, but the phantom thief had not appeared yet. Someone heard it, and the sound of the watch in the distance was getting closer. For a moment, everyone was disappointed, looking at the Minister of Rites in front of them and sighing.
Still sighing.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing the last wisp of smoke rising, the Minister of Rites couldn't help laughing a few times, and was about to stand up. At this time, something strange happened, and the Minister of Rites seemed to be under a restraining spell.
, maintaining the starting posture, not only him, the candles burning around him, and the last wisp of cigarette were all frozen in that moment. Countless soldiers, the Jin Yiwei hiding in the dark were not spared, and even the people outside were not spared.
They were all frozen in that moment, and this area seemed to be suspended.
At this time, a man in black robes came from a distance, looked at the people frozen in front of him in amusement, and laughed like a silver bell. After that, he swaggered into the Minister of Etiquette, came to the hall, and walked in without any pressure.
The Minister of Rites took the exquisite wooden box in his hand, looked at it for a while, then slowly opened it, and then...
"Huh...?" Heipao made a confused voice, and she discovered that the wooden box contained not a colorful exquisite stone, but an ordinary jade stone.
It was already too late when the man in black robe thought that this was a trap. Footsteps were heard from behind, and he walked into the hall and stood a few meters behind her.
Based on past experience, the man in black robe was certain that the person behind her was definitely a master and someone she could never defeat. She turned around slowly, preparing to run away as soon as she saw that person.
However, when the man in black robe saw clearly who that person was, he suddenly stopped running away and relaxed. He patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. It turned out to be you, a stinky fortune teller. He disappeared.
Three years ago, I thought you were dead." (To be continued)
