Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Redemption

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: RedemptionXu Qian'an sat on a big chair, holding a teacup, took a sip, and said slowly: "Tell me about it." Miss Rongrong pursed her red lips and said: "Since Lord Xu has heard of my name, he must be familiar with the Thousand Faces Female Thief."

"I have heard of it." Xu Qian'an touched his chin and looked at her: "You mean, the one who stole my treasure was actually the Thousand Faces Female Thief?

"Min Yinluo, help me find the information of the female thief."

Min Shan then told the clerk to go find her. After a cup of tea, the clerk came over with a booklet, opened the corresponding page, and handed it to Xu Qi'an.

There is not much information about the Thousand Faces Female Thief. It only records that she is an extremely powerful thief who is alone, and her master and background are unknown. She has committed countless crimes, big and small, and has never been caught.

This record provides Xu Qi'an with two pieces of information: First, the other party is not an ordinary thief. She has committed major crimes and has never failed.

Second, the female thief's field is limited to stealing, and she does not have much destructive power, so the night watchman's office only recorded a few records and did not pay much attention to it.

"She is a very professional thief." Xu Qi'an closed the booklet, returned it to the clerk, and asked the tied-up Miss Rongrong:

"Why did the Thousand Faces Female Thief disguise herself as you?"

Miss Rongrong sneered, "Who knows, maybe she is jealous of my long sleeves and good dancing skills. "

..... It seems that they had a quarrel, so they were retaliated. Xu Qiyan grabbed his sword and hung it back on his waist, saying: "Min Yinluo, I will leave the person to you. You can't let him go before I agree, no matter who comes."

After a big fight, Xu Qiyan hurried out of the government office, rode on his beloved mare, and rushed to the outer city.

He had to ask Taoist Jinlian to come in person. Fortunately, he knew where Taoist Jinlian lived, although he had never been there.

The sun gradually moved to the west, and curfew would be in an hour. He had to find the female thief before curfew and take back the fragments of the Book of the Earth, otherwise he could only go back to the government office and ask Wei Yuan to sign a search warrant.

Taoist Jinlian dominated the north city, a small courtyard facing the river, and the characteristic was that this small scarecrow stood on the roof of the main house.

Xu Qiyan arrived here and knocked on the door of the courtyard. It was quiet inside and no one answered.

"Is the Taoist out?"

Xu Qi'an climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and pushed open the door of the main house. The house was clean and tidy. On the bed, Taoist Jinlian lay peacefully, as if he had passed away.

Xu Qi'an called "Taoist" a few times, and seeing that he was in deep sleep, he knew that the old man had gone out for a walk again.

How did he suddenly develop such a habit... What should I do? I don't know when the Taoist will come back... Xu Qi'an frowned and thought for a moment, and then he paid attention.

He walked to the bed, raised his hands, and slapped the Taoist left and right.

As a mature senior in the martial arts world, Taoist Jinlian should know how to protect his body. He must have a backup plan. As long as his body is hurt, he can sense it immediately, and even...

"Pa pa pa!"

There was only the sound of slaps in the room.

After a long time, Xu Qi'an heard the emotionless voice of Taoist Jinlian coming from the door: "What are you doing."

The slapping sound stopped immediately. Xu Qian'an came back to his senses in surprise, looked at the door, and said, "Master, you are back."

An orange cat stood at the doorstep, looking at him quietly.

Seeing that Master Jinlian didn't speak, Xu Qian'an explained, "I have something urgent to find you, but you are not in the yard. I guess you must have left a backup in your body, so I can only resort to this."

The orange cat still spoke without emotion: "Then did you guess that I had sensed the moment you entered the yard."

Even Master Jinlian sensed that there was a guest when I entered the yard...Xu Qian'an said blankly, "I don't know."

The orange cat nodded, walked into the house with an elegant cat step, jumped onto the bed, and asked, "What's the matter."

"My fragments of the earth book were stolen. "

At that moment, he told Taoist Master Jinlian how he encountered the Thousand-Faced Female Thief and how he mistakenly captured Miss Rongrong.

"After the fragment of the Earth Book recognizes its owner, outsiders cannot see the book or take out the things inside. You can rest assured." The orange cat was very calm.

"Then when I got it from you, it was ownerless?"

"The mark was erased by the Taoist master of the Earth Sect."

Xu Qian'an nodded. He already knew these things. "There is no time to lose. Let's go and retrieve the fragment of the Earth 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, with its head tilted, quietly waiting for him.

Why didn't the Taoist go out in person? Even if it was a hobby to have sex with cats, he was going to do business now... Is there no difference between going out in person and going out in spirit for him?

With doubts, Xu Qi'an untied the reins and touched the face of the little mare, thinking that it was unfair to let another man ride it once.

Da Da Da...

The little mare ran wildly on the spacious street, and pedestrians consciously retreated. No

one was blind enough to block the road.

This is an era where people give way to cars.

"Turn left!"

The orange cat suddenly said.

Xu Qi'an turned the horse's head, controlled the little mare to complete the beautiful and elegant turn to the left.

Under the command of Taoist Jinlian, Xu Qi'an turned from the north city to the east city, and came to an inn. Taoist Jinlian said: "The fragments of the earth book are inside. "

When he spoke, Xu Qian'an felt a sense of blood connection, mysterious and mysterious, and clearly sensed the location of the fragment of the Earth Book.

The fragment of the Earth Book and the host can produce sympathy at close range.

.......

In a room of the inn.

A woman with heavy makeup, big almond eyes and gentle eyes sat at the table, holding her chin with one hand and playing with a small jade mirror with the other.

"Why can't I use this treasure?"

The fake Miss Rongrong looked at the fragment of the Earth Book. It looked ordinary at first glance, but as the only descendant of the Thief Sect, she had a keen intuition about treasures.

Searching for treasures is the innate skill of the disciples of the Thief Sect.

There are many strange patterns on the mirror, boxes, silver bills, military crossbows, silver ingots... With her years of "treasure hunting" experience, she quickly guessed:

This is a magic weapon that requires blood to recognize the owner, and it has a storage

function.

Miss "Rongrong" immediately became 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 inside.

"How to take the things out..."

The fake Rongrong held the fragment of the Earth Book and knocked on the table.

She had never seen a magic weapon that required blood to recognize the owner, and she was

helpless about it. Of course, there is one principle that remains unchanged, but for any storage magic weapon, as long as the magic weapon is destroyed, the stored items will

automatically fall off.

But this is a magic weapon that has been sworn in by blood. Its value is inestimable. We must

not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Miss Rongrong frowned and asked. She did not ask the waiter for hot water, and she still had

enough money for the room.

"Check the water mount." A man's voice came from outside.

Upon hearing this voice, Miss Rongrong's face changed drastically. Without thinking, she

grabbed the jade mirror and put it in her pocket. She stood up and rushed to the window.

"Bang!"

She opened the window and was about to escape from here, but she saw a ginger cat squatting by the window, looking at her with amber pupils.

The brain of Miss "Rongrong" was embedded with steel nails, tearing her soul apart. She covered her head and sat on the ground with a muffled groan.

The door was pushed open, and Xu Qi'an, holding the knife with one hand, walked into the

room with a step of not recognizing relatives.

The ginger cat also jumped into the room from the window.

"It's you!"

Xu Qi'an drew out the black and gold long knife, put it on Miss "Rongrong"'s neck, and

snorted: "Thousand-faced female thief."

"My Lord, what are you talking about?"

Miss Rongrong's eyes moved, as if she was thinking about a countermeasure.

Xu Qian'an reached out and gently grabbed it, and the fragment of the Earth Book flew out of

Miss Rongrong's arms and automatically fell into his hand.

Miss Rongrong cried out "Ah" and stretched out her hand to keep it, but her neck hurt, and

she gave up the plan in frustration.

This man is so powerful that ten of him are not enough to be chopped by him.

After checking the fragments of the Earth Book and confirming that the items inside were not lost, Xu Qian'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart fell.

The gold, silver and banknotes in the mirror are all his belongings. He came to this world for

half a year, and he went through wind and rain, and finally saved up his belongings.

It's all his wife's money.

He put the fragment of the Earth Book back into his arms, then withdrew his knife, pulled a

chair and sat down, smiling and examining the frustrated female thief, saying:

"Hey, don't you want to quibble?" "What's there to quibble about when you're caught red-handed?" The female thief rolled her

eyes and muttered:

"I've been traveling around the nine states for many years, but I didn't expect to be defeated in the capital. It's worthy of being the best city in the world. It's not unfair..."

The tone and demeanor of her speech showed that she was an old man, a tough guy. It was completely different from the green tea attitude she showed in the restaurant before. She was pretending in the restaurant, and now she is in her original temper.

Xu Qi'an was like a cat that caught a mouse, jokingly saying, "Just try to argue a little, maybe

I'll let you go if I'm soft-hearted."

The female thief changed her expression immediately, revealing a sad look, and said with

tears in her eyes:

"I am also a miserable person. I was sold to a brothel by my parents when I was three years old. I was forced to receive customers when I was ten years old. At the age of fifteen, my master took a fancy to me and took me in as his last disciple. I thought that my hard days were

finally over, but I didn't know that my master was also a beast in human form. On a dark and windy night, he, he..."

Perhaps because the acting was too realistic, Xu Qi'an couldn't tell whether it was true or not.

"Okay, okay, I sympathize with your experience, but the law is merciless. I have a few

questions to ask you, answer them honestly."

Xu Qiyan said: "How did you steal my treasure without anyone noticing?"

"This is my specialty. Below the fourth rank, I can steal however I want." "Then how did you disguise yourself?" Xu Qiyan leaned over, pinched her chin, looked at her

carefully, and said:

"It's not a human skin mask, but this face is definitely not yours."

"This is the unique secret technique of our thief sect, called the art of hiding the sky and the

sea. It is a real change of appearance, which is incomparable to ordinary disguise techniques."

"Wait!" Taoist Master Jinlian suddenly interrupted, staring at the female thief with amber pupils: "What did you say just now, what sect are you from?"

The female thief suddenly felt the fierce murderous intent and said weakly: "The thief sect..."

Taoist Master Jinlian looked at Xu Qiyan and said coldly: "This female thief, just chop it off."

This was the worst time that the Taoist sect was slandered... Xu Qi'an held back his ever- rising mouth corners and said seriously: "Do you know who this person is?"

The female thief shook her head. "The boss of the Taoist sect."

"From now on, my sect will be changed to the sect of thieves." The female thief had a strong

desire to survive.

Can the sect be changed at will? Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that

Taoist Master Jinlian stopped talking, he continued the topic just now: "Hand over the secret

book."

The female thief had a pitiful expression: "This is a boy's skill. I have practiced it since I was a child. My master taught me step by step. There is no secret book. I started practicing at the age of four and it took me more than ten years to become a master." "Didn't you just say that you entered a brothel at the age of three, received guests at the age

of ten, and became the exclusive rbq of the master at the age of fifteen."

"....Maybe the adults heard it wrong?"

Xu Qi'an thought to himself that the words of such a veteran in the martial arts world really

cannot be trusted even with a single punctuation mark.

"Hand over the secret book of disguise."

The female thief nodded resignedly: "The secret book is in the closet, I'll go get it now."

Seeing Xu Qi'an nod, she stood up and walked to the closet, took out a bundle, and said: "The secret book is inside."

Xu Qi'an took the bundle, and the moment he opened it, a green mist gushed out. Caught off guard, he and Taoist Jinlian took a few breaths and immediately fainted.

The female thief, who had already held her breath in advance, took out a porcelain bottle

from the bundle, took the antidote inside, and then breathed calmly, humming: "You are far from being able to fight with me."

As she said that, she kicked Xu Qi'an a few times in anger, reached into his arms, fumbled a

few times, and the jade mirror was recovered.

Suddenly, she felt something hard against her buttocks, and Xu Qi'an's voice came from

behind: "Sure enough, let's kill him."

"Rongrong" looked down in shock and found that the silver gong that was lying there before was gone.

She didn't dare to move, knowing that there was a knife against her buttocks.

"I've reminded you that this is the big boss of the Taoist Di Sect. You don't even know when

you were enchanted." Xu Qi'an said with a smile: "The buttocks are quite perky."

The female thief completely accepted her fate.

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Ge Xiaojing."

Xu Qi'an sealed the female thief Ge Xiaojing's hole, tied her up, threw her on the horse's back,

and said goodbye to Taoist Jinlian. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The orange cat nodded slightly and said: "Be careful on the way."

He left with an elegant pace.

Xu Qi'an untied the reins and was about to ride on his beloved mare, but the mare suddenly

went crazy, turned its head, turned at a 45-degree angle, and kicked Xu Qi'an away with a beautiful kick.

Then it neighed and ran away.

"???"

Xu Qi'an chased after it with a dusty face, and subdued it before it hit the pedestrians. After

comforting it for a long time, the mare became docile again.

"Little mare, don't you love me anymore? After being ridden by that old man Jinlian, you are

tired of the old and love the new."

Xu Qi'an sat on the horse and thought to himself that I will never play tricks again. The old is

still the best.

....

Back at the night watchman's office, Xu Qi'an took the female thief to the prison and warned

the jailer not to do unnecessary things. He still has use for this person.

At this time, the curfew had started for two quarters of an hour and it was dark. But for a silver

gong, the curfew is meaningless.

"Soul-Crazy Hand Rongrong can be released, but there is a curfew now, and she cannot leave

the inner city. Let's deal with her tomorrow..."

The next day, Xu Qian'an rode to the night watchman's office. There were already clerks

waiting at the door. When they saw him coming, they trotted up to him and said: "Sir Xu, a group of people from the underworld came to the office to redeem someone. It's the

girl you brought back yesterday. She is with Min Yinluo."

Are you here to redeem someone now? If I were a lecher who bullies men and women, the

child's bedroom would have been filled several times... Xu Qian'an said, "Tsk":

"I know."
