Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 83

...

"Have you heard? Thief Saint sneaked into the palace on the night of Shangyuan Festival and stole a treasure from the official family without anyone noticing."

"Who is the thief, what treasure did he steal from the official family?"

"Uh... The Saint Thief is the Saint Thief, the Saint among the Thieves, who comes and goes without a trace, and is number one in lightness kung fu. As for what treasure he stole, I don't know, I also heard what the people in the palace said, but , it is said that the treasure is unique in the world, and it is priceless, and whoever can get it will be rich like an enemy."

"real or fake?"

"Don't you see that the entire Kaifeng mansion is under martial law? They are arresting the robber."

"Catch the Thief, I thought the martial law was because Li Xingshou disappeared."

"Li Xingshou? Which Li Xingshou?"

"How many Li Xingshou are there in the world?"

"You mean, the hot fight with Konami..."

"Don't make a loud voice, the ears and eyes are close."

"Li Xingshou is missing? How is that possible?"

"Why not, it's not common for prostitutes to elope with people?"

"But...Li Xingshou...official family..."

"Isn't Li Xingshou a prostitute? If the officials like Li Xingshou, how can they take Li Xingshou into the palace and make her a concubine?"

"Hey...it's a pity, I don't know which one is cheaper!"

"It's not you and me anyway."

"How can you and I have such a good life...Forget it, let's not talk about it, by the way, how long will this be banned, and I want to go to Mizhou to celebrate my uncle's birthday at the end of the month."

"It's really hard to say, I'm afraid I won't give up if I don't catch the thief saint."

"That's what to do."

"It's so difficult, you can come in and out freely if you open a way."

"..."

"..."

I don't know who leaked the news, and the news about the theft of the imperial palace was widely circulated in the capital.

And the mysterious disappearance of Li Shishi, the most famous courtesan in the world, added countless topics and speculations to these rumors, and some people even guessed that Li Shishi eloped with the robber saint.

In short, for a while, everyone in the capital seemed to be talking about these two things.

……

On a back street behind Daxiangguo Temple.

Tang Long followed a hooligan to a dilapidated family.

Poppi looked around and saw no one was around, so he knocked on the door with a "smack".

After a while, a lazy voice said: "Who, come to my house early in the morning to make noise, and let me sleep well!"

Poppy lowered his voice, "It's me."

Hearing the sound of Hooligan's voice, the door immediately opened from the inside, and then another Hooligan protruded out of it.

He looked at Tang Long, then looked behind the two, and Poppifu who opened the door looked at Tang Long again and asked, "Is he Brother Tang Long?"

Poppi who knocked on the door said, "Let's go in and talk."

After introducing Tang Long into the courtyard, Poppi who knocked on the door said to Tang Long, "Brother, let me introduce you. This is my brother Li Si. Everyone in the world calls him the Green Grass Snake."

Tang Long clasped his fists at Li Siyi and said, "I've seen Brother Li Si, where is brother?"

Li Si hurriedly replied: "I've seen my brother... Brother Zhaizhu is waiting for my brother inside, brother, please come with me!"

After speaking, Li Si led Tang Long and that rogue Zhang San into the cottage.

After entering the thatched cottage and then turning into the inner room, Tang Long saw Li Yan who was sitting at the top. On the left and right of Li Yan were two leaders he knew, Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhu Jing, and the others were all faces he didn't know. Among them, Tang Long caught the most attention was a fat monk and Chen Liqing and Li Shishi who could attract the attention of any man. As for Sun Jing who was slowly sipping tea, he was not so conspicuous.

turn out to be--

After Li Yan and Chen Liqing returned from the palace, Lu Zhishen had fought back the remaining four members, and Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhu Jing had also opened up the tunnel.

Li Yan and others were lucky, the section they opened up happened to be in the forest, and not far from the road.

Seeing this, Li Yan sent Ruan Xiaoqi and Lu Zhishen to find the ten scouts, Zhang San and Li Si who were staying at the inn respectively.

At the same time, Li Yan and others took all those registrations out of the tunnel and moved them to the side of the road.

Because it is Shangyuan night, it is easy to get in and out.

Not long after, Ruan Xiaoqi came back with the ten sentries and several carriages who were staying at the inn.

After Li Yan and others loaded Li Shishi's more than 20 family members (some of which were Li Shishi's personal belongings) into the carriage, Lu Zhishen led Zhang San and Li Si back.

Li Si's family used to have a small fortune, but unfortunately they got into gambling habits, and ended up losing their fortune in gambling.

Good thing!

Li Si finally came to his senses and reluctantly left his ancestral property, so he still had a place to hide.

Some time ago, Lu Zhishen was hunted by Gao Li because he hid in Li Si's house.

After such a big incident happened, the inn stipulated that they could no longer stay in it, so Lu Zhishen suggested that the group stay at Li Si's house.

Out of trust in Lu Zhishen, and because there was no more suitable place to settle down, Li Yan immediately agreed.

Then a group of people came to Li Si's house and stayed there...

After Li Yan introduced each other to Tang Long, Lu Zhishen and others, Tang Long directly bowed to Li Yan and said, "Please save my eldest brother's life!"

Li Yan was puzzled and said, "Your elder brother? Xu Ning?"

Tang Long said: "Exactly."

Li Yan helped Tang Long up and said, "Brother, speak slowly, what's wrong with Xu Ning?"

Tang Longqi didn't answer behind him and asked instead: "Brother, did you ever hear about the robbery of Shangyuanye Palace?"

Li Yan said calmly: "I heard, what does this have to do with Xu Ning?" - Li Yan has already told Lu Zhishen and others that only the eight of them know about the real things, and they are not allowed to spread them outside.In order to better block the news, Li Yan even decided to give Chen Liqing's envoy Cui'er to Ruan Xiaoqi, and also gave Li Shishi back to Wang's surname, and helped Li Shishi change her name to Wang Nan, who was Li Yan's adopted sister.

"Hey!"

Tang Long sighed and said, "That night my eldest brother was in charge of guarding the palace of Zhao Guan's family."

Li Yan thought: "Is there such a coincidence in this world?"

Tang Long continued: "Actually, I don't blame my elder brother for this matter. My elder brother left the defense area after receiving the order from Zhao Guan's family and Zhang Gezhang."

Li Yandao: "Since you are here, why do you want to blame Xu Ning?"

Tang Long said: "The bad thing is that the short-lived Chief Zhang died, and now there is no proof of his death. My eldest brother can't get rid of the crime of leaving his post without authorization... Actually, these are all excuses. Taiwei Hua'er once wanted to buy it with [-] yuan. My elder brother's treasure of the family, Yan Ling, was built with a gold armor to compete with Tang Ni. My elder brother was reluctant to part with that Sai Tang Ni, so he rejected the Huaer Wang Taiwei, but the Huaer Wang Taiwei held a grudge in his heart, so he found it This opportunity to frame my elder brother happened to be in a bad mood, so he sentenced my elder brother to assassinate Salmonella."

Even without Tang Long's relationship, Li Yan would definitely save Xu Ning based on Xu Ning's second best martial arts.

Therefore, Li Yan said very simply: "Don't worry, brother, I will save your elder brother from the sea of ​​fire!"
