Main text Chapter 869: The gang catches the thief



At this moment, all kinds of artistic conception floated on the calligraphy, and one could vaguely see the figures changing, as if someone was performing martial arts moves in it, and it also exuded an intriguing artistic conception fluctuation. . .

Looking at these scenes, the three men dressed as servants all showed intoxication in their eyes, just like gamblers seeing dice and drunkards seeing wine pots.

The room fell into silence for a while.

After a while, it was the youngest man who spoke: "For such a treasure, what's wrong with taking risks? Anyway, the things are put away, and what should be done is done. Just don't go back, just take this treasure and leave Xingjing. The world is so big, can Wu Tuo still do anything to us?"

The sturdy man shook his head and said: "That's what I said, but I talked with Wu Tuo recently, and I vaguely saw a clue from his expression. Maybe the capital will change, and I don't know if Wu Tuo will take advantage of the situation. At this time, if we work hard, we may also be the elders. , if we escape now, and the man gains power, our fate will be very dangerous..."

"Brother's words are safe," the thin man nodded and said, "In our line of work, we take money from others and help them get rid of disasters. We can't easily run away with things. If the news spreads, Wu Tuo will not pursue it, but it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the world. Besides, this calligraphy is actually strange."

"What's strange? Second brother, you have the brightest brain, you must have seen something, tell me quickly." The young man was stunned and asked, and even the sturdy man showed a nervous look.

"The two words on the paper reveal the artistic conception of martial arts, which can make people feel and gain insights from them. If you comprehend them carefully, you can get the skills from them. They can be called treasures no matter where they are placed. Such things are generally handed down from ancient times." The thin man did not keep it a secret. Pointing at the calligraphy, he asked, "But didn't you notice that the ink on the paper has a little wet mark?"

"Wet?" The young man was startled, "This treasure can't be damaged." He reached out and wanted to pick up the calligraphy.

"It's not wet by external objects, but the ink itself is not dry. Don't touch it easily! Such things can't be left there without any precautions!" The thin man was about to stop him, but before he finished speaking, the calligraphy had been picked up.

The young man looked at the calligraphy with a look of surprise, and then turned to look at his two brothers. He also showed a puzzled look, obviously didn't expect it to be picked up so easily.

"This..." The sturdy man was about to speak, and suddenly a warning flashed in his mind.

Bang!

There was a collision sound coming from the bookshelf not far away.

"Who is it?" All of a sudden, the three brothers became nervous. They were ordered to come here this time, disguised as servants of the Qiu Mansion, just in case. In fact, before entering the study, they repeatedly confirmed. No one was inside, and no one could see them, so they took action.

The Qiu Mansion recently moved, and the new house is much larger than the original one. Of course, there will be a shortage of manpower, which is an opportunity to take advantage of.

When the three people came into the study, there was also an early warning method arranged outside. Now they suddenly heard a sound. It was actually coming from the house, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

This means that someone has avoided their vigilance. He came not far away from them, but they were not discovered until the person made a sound himself, which made them notice it!

Once the matter is thought about, it is enough to make people terrified!

Then, the young man's figure was like lightning, and he flashed a few times. The cold light in his hand flashed and stabbed towards the place where the sound came from, but it stabbed in the air!

"Huh?" The man was stunned, his ears trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and glanced, and he saw a strange thing at his feet. It was a strange creature with two heads.

Cat and dog!

One head is a cat head, and the other is a dog head.

The cat head raised its head, and the dog head lowered its head.

The cat head noticed the young man's gaze and made a soft "meow".

"It turned out to be a pet..." Although the cat and dog looked strange, in the world of magical powers, any strange things could appear. Ordinary people might find it incredible, but the three brothers in the study had achieved great success and had experienced a lot, so they were not surprised. However...

"No! Even if it was a pet, it would not be possible to appear here silently! It is even more impossible to pass through the guard outside the door. This cat and dog is weird!" Thinking of this, the young man was shocked and subconsciously swept the long sword in his hand down, ready to stab!

"Kill the cat!"

Unexpectedly, the cat head opened its mouth and screamed, speaking human words, then jumped nimbly, dodged the sword, and then pounced forward, flipped lightly in the air, and whipped the young man's face with its tail.

Snap!

There was a blood mark on the man's face, but he was even more horrified!

"It can actually talk! It turns out to be a goblin!" Even though he was well-informed, he was a little frightened at this time. He calmed down and wanted to continue chasing, but suddenly there was another babbling voice coming from the bookshelf.

"Okay, okay, I got it, don't rush me. I just want to hear more news and collect intelligence. Young people just can't hold their temper." Followed by a childish voice, and with the voice came eight ancient seals suspended in the air.

"What is this!" Seeing such a strange thing, the young man screamed, and used his strength, driving his spirit, waving his hand, and stabbed it! At the same time, he exerted strength on his feet to stay away!

"Why are you so anxious?" Unexpectedly, the eight seal characters turned in the air, and ripples of thoughts bloomed, and flames burst out from them. It was the perception of fire by a generation of sages. Under the alternation of heavenly fire and human fire, it illuminated one side, and also illuminated the man's pale face clearly.

Huh!

The flames surged and devoured people!

These words are long, but from the cat's cry to the sudden appearance of the flames, it was only a breath of time. When the figure of the young man was covered by the flames, the two people in front of the desk suddenly realized it!

"Third brother!"

The sturdy man shouted and stepped forward. The skills he practiced were different. It was not about speed, but strength. This move immediately burst out with momentum!

But then a cold light pierced from the edge of the table, accompanied by a sonorous voice--

"Do you still have the energy to pay attention to others? You should take care of yourself first! Take my Jade Sword Technique!"

"What is this?" The sturdy man raised his hand to block it, and his strength and spirit were running at the same time. The color of his arm suddenly changed, turning into bronze, like fine iron.

Zila Zila!

Then, the flying long sword hit the arm directly, sparking a series of sparks!

"My set of bronze arm skills, but..." The sturdy man snorted coldly and was about to fight back, but the next moment his eyes widened, watching the long sword pierce his copper skin and iron bones, penetrate his arms, and pierce into his body!

Puff!

The sword pierced through his body, and the sturdy man's skills were broken in an instant!

The blade is sharp, and it pierces the body without bleeding!

"Big brother!" On the side, the thin man looked panicked, as if he was going to check the injury of the sturdy man, but he leaned forward and swung his hands back violently, and there were cold rays rushing out, dense as rain!

Ding Ding Dang Dang!

The cold rays hit a palm-sized incense burner in the air, causing it to retreat repeatedly!

"Wow! Why can't I get what I want?" There was also a sound from the incense burner, and the thin man's face suddenly changed when he heard the "ding-dang" sound, and he was even more shocked when he heard the sound.

However, before he could sort out his thoughts, a burst of babbling came, and a white and fat life rode a ball of black mist and rushed over, with great momentum!

"Character! Shenbao let us all go over and catch the person!" Another childish voice came from the side, and it was the eight-character ancient seal that followed the black mist and rushed over.

On the other side, the long sword pierced the sturdy man, shocking him, and then turned in the air and rushed over. Following closely behind was the incense burner that had just been forced back by the cold light of the hidden weapon.

For a moment, all the creatures danced and surrounded him.

"Meow~"

"Woof~"

Two voices, one high and one low, sounded under his feet.

For a moment, the thin man felt like he was surrounded on all sides, but after seeing clearly what was besieging him, he felt particularly aggrieved and could only shout out a cry from his throat-

"Is this a fairy's nest?"

As soon as the voice fell, a vague voice sounded on the side-

"It's not a fairy's nest, but it's not an ordinary place after all. The people in the Qiu Mansion all stay away from Brother Qiu's study and don't go in if they can." It was Xi Muyuan's invisible ghost that slowly appeared and kindly explained to the thin man.

As a result, the thin man looked at the ghost, his eyes rolled up, and he fainted directly.

Zila!

When the man fell, all three were taken down. The calligraphy that the young man had held in his hand slowly fell, and the two words on the paper changed rapidly. Then, in the flash of blood, a huge and strange shadow of a prison emerged, fell from the air, and fell on the three people, locking their consciousness.

Squeak...

At this time, the door of the study was pushed open, and Qiu Yan, who was still wearing court clothes, walked in from outside. He looked around and took in the scene in the study.

There was a chaotic battle before, but except for the hidden weapon shot out by the thin man, there was no chaos in the study. Qiu Yan nodded lightly, then raised his hand and swung it. As his sleeves fluttered, the breeze swept away all the hidden weapons, and took out a few letters and objects from the corner of the room.

Qiu Yan glanced at it and chuckled, "Although this method of framing is simple, it works quickly. If the news in the palace is exposed today, it will be enough to ruin me forever. Even if the emperor wakes up safely now, it is still a hidden danger."

"What are you going to do, Brother Qiu?" Xi Muyuan floated over from the side.

"How to do it? Of course, report it to the authorities," Qiu Yan glanced at him and said as a matter of course, "How can I not report it when my home is robbed?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Xi Muyuan was puzzled and said, "These three people are determined people at first glance. Even if they go to the execution hall, they may not confess the person behind the scenes."

"No," Qiu Yan shook his head, "They have already confessed." After saying this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the calligraphy flew back to his hand. (To be continued...)
