my panda city master

Chapter 23 Extra Story [-]: The Legendary Ancestors Are Confidants

"Ahh! The eighteen strings of red beads sent by Diancang were stolen!"

"Ahhhh! The Hundred Treasures Ruyi Stick bestowed by the Holy One was stolen!"

"Ah ah ah..."

The gatekeeper would come in every half month to shout, and Mo Yuan felt his head hurt a little.

A year ago, a thief named Miaoshou Kongkong appeared on the rivers and lakes.Up to the palace, down to the dungeon, as long as it is something he wants to steal, there is nothing he cannot steal.In the end, the defense of the palace was already weakened. After receiving the letter from him about stealing, the emperor changed his mind and simply put the treasure at the main entrance of the palace, lit the lantern to illuminate the treasure, and offered it with both hands.

Sure enough, things disappeared in full view.But since then, the thief has never visited the palace again. There are rumors in the world that he left a sentence to Jin Yiwei at that time - "Tch, it's not fun at all."

From then on, everyone suddenly realized - it turns out that this god steals things just for fun.

If it wasn't fun, he wouldn't steal it.

So those who received the letter would throw their treasures into the yard openly, almost without waving the flag and shouting——Hey, come and steal, come and steal.

Although this method made it clear that he didn't want him to come, but the thief called Miaoshoukong didn't know whether he was really confused or really bored, so he didn't go again.

But there is one person who is not willing to be so submissive, and that person is Mo Yuan, the current Mo Family City Lord.He even boasted that the defense of Mocheng is unparalleled in the world!

As soon as these words came out, Miaoshoukong came to steal things every half a month. Without exception, Mocheng never succeeded in defending.

Mo Yuan held his breath.

The elders of the Mo family patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "That clever hand is a rare thief in a thousand years, don't fight anymore, or all the treasures left by the ancestors will be stolen."

Mo Yuan held his breath even more.

All the counselors and guards in the city were helpless, so he asked people to hire someone who was famous for defense from other places, but it was of no use at all.The people who offered advice felt more and more that they didn't gain any reputation by going to Mocheng, and even ruined their own reputation, so they refused to go at all.How could Mo Yuan be willing, if they didn't come, he asked the guards to bring them over.In the end, the guards couldn't move, so he ran to arrest people by himself.

But still no one can stop Miaoshou from stealing things empty-handed.

Mo Yuan held his breath even more.

After Miaoshou stole something empty-handed and threatened to steal the Wansheng Sword, the family heirloom of their Mo family, Mo Yuan couldn't sit still.

The sword was placed in the hinterland of the Mo family's mansion, if it was stolen even there, the face of the Mo family would be completely lost by him.The elders of the clan were so frightened that they came running together again, and said earnestly: "Stop fighting with him, the more vigorous you are, the more vigorous he will be, the family property is really about to be stolen."

Mo Yuan didn't listen: "If the huge Mo city can't even guard against a thief, then if more powerful people appear in the border enemy country, how can the Mo family guard the border? It's less important to offer treasures, but more important to submit to the other side."

"But family heirlooms can't be lost..."

"If I lose it, I'll take off my clothes and run around the mansion!"

The conversation left everyone speechless, so they could only watch him prodigal.

After all, but if he really lost the family heirloom, he would have to kneel in the ancestral hall to apologize, and he would have to run shirtless... He is the city lord of the Mohist family, and it is winter now, and it is snowing outside.After thinking about it, he trembled, he couldn't lose!

But after much deliberation, he still couldn't figure out where that wonderful hand and nothing would start.Just as he was thinking hard, a counselor came to report: "I heard that a genius appeared in Xixia Town recently. He is good at defensive skills, comparable to Mozi."

"Please please please! If you can't please come, you will be tied up."

"..." Their city lord is crazy!

When the counselor heard that it was Mo City, he really didn't want to come, but Mo Yuan had already ordered, so five days later, he was tied up and sent to the lobby of the Mo family.Mo Yuan squatted down to look at the man who was tied up like a rice dumpling. He was not very handsome, but he was quite tall.He asked, "I heard that you are good at defense?"

The man didn't even think about it, and said decisively: "No, you've got the wrong person."

"Hmph." Mo Yuan smiled coldly, "It seems that he is also a person who is afraid of empty hands and only cares about his own reputation."

"I just hate the Mo family."

"Why do you hate it?"

"Because my surname is Hei."

"..."

The man glanced at him and said with reason: "As soon as I announce my name, others will laugh at me-hehehe, how vulgar!"

Mo Yuan caressed his forehead, it was reasonable for him to lie down with his surname Mo, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Black soil."

"..." You can't blame others for laughing at him, okay!

Heitu looked at him suspiciously and said, "Were you holding back your laughter just now?"

Mo Yuan said seriously: "No."

"Of course it is."

"Well, I am."

"..." Heitu held back for a while, twisted his body and sat up, "If I can help you block Miaoshou Kongkong, you must give me the Holy Sword."

Mo Yuan paused, he confronted Miaoshou empty-handed, in order to find a mechanism that could defend him, instead of feeling sorry for the family heirloom.He frowned and said, "If you can really stop him, I will give you the Holy Sword."

Heitu said unexpectedly: "This is the treasured sword of your Mo family. If you give it to a stranger, you have to kneel in the ancestral hall, right?"

"Well, the sword is good, but if the Mohist's defensive technique can be improved, so what if I kneel in the ancestral hall?"

Heitu was still surprised, this was the first time he had seen such a weird person.He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

As promised, Heitu wandered around the Mo family for several days, and then went to Mo city after visiting the Mo family. It took eight days, and even the guards of the Bai family were in a hurry: "City lord, there are only two days until the half-month period." , that person shouldn’t be a magic stick, right?”

Mo Yuan didn't think he was. When he went to check the terrain, he was clearly very serious.And in the past eight days, the two had talked. Although Hei Tu's name was vulgar, his knowledge was not vulgar at all. On the contrary, he was more knowledgeable than many people he had met.

On the day before Miaoshou came empty-handed, Heitu finally commanded Mo City's guards to set up the formation, and Mo Yuan followed him without interrupting, just quietly watching his arrangements, secretly surprised, the traps he set up were really extraordinary.

This time, he has the confidence to block the magic hand: "Hmph, it's fun for you, I'll let you play to your heart's content."

On the night of the half-moon appointment, there were many people watching outside Mocheng.It was silent all night, just like the silence when Miaoshou was empty-handed before.It looked quiet, but everyone knew that he must be secretly preparing to attack, or trying to steal something.

Mo Yuan couldn't fall asleep all night, because he was afraid that when he closed his eyes, someone would rush to his bed, crying and howling, saying that he had been stolen again.

The bell rang at the third watch outside the window, and passed at the fifth watch. He didn't come until the sun rose.His heart was beating like a drum, pounding.He opened the door energetically, looked at the guards in front of the door, and his voice froze: "Did Miaoshou come empty-handed?"

The guard replied: "I've been here, and the mechanism has been damaged in several places, but the treasure is still in the treasure house."

Mo Yuan's throat was astringent, he clenched his fists tightly, and finally defended against that guy. It seemed that Mo City's defense was effective this time, so he should consult Heitu for advice.

When Heitu was invited to the lobby, he yawned and heard Mo Yuan say as soon as he entered the door: "Miaoshou didn't steal anything with empty hands."

Heitu smiled: "Then it seems that I can get the Holy Sword."

Mo Yuan handed the sword to him with his own hands, and Heitu paused when he saw it: "Is it really so straightforward? But if this is the case, you will have to kneel in the ancestral hall."

"Learning a more sophisticated defense technique is far more useful than a sword. The sword can protect me alone, but the defense technique can protect half of the center."

When Heitu took the sword, he felt heavy, not the sword but Mo Yuan's words.This Mohist city lord is completely different from anyone he has ever seen.

Seeing that he was not in good spirits, Mo Yuan asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Heitu yawned: "That's not true." He put away his sword and said, "I'm used to living a comfortable life, so I have to go."

Mo Yuan felt it was a pity, and he still wanted to ask for advice.But after these ten days of getting along, he understood his temper, and his love for talent made him feel very itchy, but he couldn't tie him into a dumpling again, so he had to say, "I'll send Mr. out."

"No need." Heitu waved his hand freely and hung the sword on his body, "I'll go and pack up my things. I'll meet you soon."

"Sir go slow."

When he came out after packing his things, Mo Yuan still insisted on sending him outside, and he still felt it was a pity when he came back.As soon as he returned to the lobby, a maid ran over in a panic, holding a note in her hand.The note was the color of ink, he couldn't understand it more clearly, and his body couldn't help but tense.

"Ahh! I cleaned Mr. Heitu's room and found this note on his desk—"

Mo Yuan took a look, and there were several large characters on it——

"Thank you, City Lord Mo, for the gift of the sword. There will be a time later."

Mo Yuan: "..."

Your grandma is a bear!
"I heard that our city lord ran naked?"

"That's right, in winter, I only wear a pair of pants."

"I heard that our city lord knelt in the ancestral hall for three days?"

"That's right, the spittle of the elders will drown him."

"Tsk, so, why bother, what good is there in insisting on fighting that god thief."

"Ah!"

Mo Yuansheng wrapped himself up in the quilt without love, curled up on the bed like a silk cocoon, ran naked for a day and then knelt for three days. He was always in good health and fell ill.He knew that the cause was not cold and tired, but a bad mood.

That hateful black soil... It turned out that Miaoshoukongkong had this idea from the very beginning, knowing that the hinterland of the Mohist family was difficult to attack, he simply found a way to save trouble.

In vain he thought Heitu was a good partner.

Pooh.

He turned over, his head heavy.

"What can I do, the burning is getting worse."

"I've taken the medicine three times, and there's no sign of improvement."

Mo Yuan was still thinking about defense, and was still thinking about his hands and empty hands. Although his head weighed a thousand catties, he didn't care at all.Oh, I have to find a way to stop that little thief. If I can't stop even a little thief, what will I do if there are more powerful people in the enemy country?
"Hello? Hello? You're not out of breath... Huh, why are you so hot? You can't die. If you die, others will say that you were mad at me. We are not Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu."

I don't know who was muttering, but Mo Yuan felt that this person was a chatterbox and was very noisy.It seemed that the mouth had been pried open and something had been stuffed.He didn't want to swallow it, and was slapped for a moment and forced to swallow it.

"Hmph, this is the Reincarnation Pill I stole from that stingy doctor, and I plan to keep it for myself."

The person in front of the bed was still muttering, twittering like a sparrow, noisy... so noisy, what a chatterbox.

Mo Yuan didn't have the strength to open his eyes, but couldn't see who was coming.Not long after, he fell into a drowsy sleep again, and when it was dawn, he got up by himself, felt his forehead to feel his pulse, and it was all right...

And there is something more on the table, a sword, the Holy Sword.

He froze for a moment, walked to the table and took a closer look, there was a note next to it——

"The agreed time has passed, you should be ashamed of stealing, come again next time."

Mo Yuan pursed the corners of his mouth, this guy with empty hands really steals for fun...

It might not be a bad thing to have him practice Mocheng's defense.

As the cold comes and the summer goes, Miaoshou still comes every half a month with empty hands, basically no misses, but the things he steals are getting more and more strange.Sometimes he steals treasures, and sometimes he just steals a vase, as well as food and wine.The strangest one was that he stole the little castellan... A day later, he sent the little castellan back and asked why he was stolen.The little city lord who was only five years old clapped his hands, laughed and said, "Uncle Kong Kong said he would take me to play."

Everyone was stunned: "Play?"

"Yeah, he said that my father is too boring, and I must be bored staying in Mocheng, so he took me around to eat, drink and have fun... Oh, my belly is growing, woo."

Mo Yuan: "..." Your grandma is a bear.

As autumn and winter came, Mo Yuan got good wine, looked at the bright moonlight, thought for a while, put it on the stone table in his yard, grabbed a handful of black soil and put it aside.

The next day, the wine was gone.

After a few days, the black soil on the stone table was swept away, but there was an extra person tied into a rice dumpling.

After Mo Yuan checked, this person turned out to be an enemy spy who sneaked into Mo City.

In a few days, it is the end of the year.Mo Yuan sat in the pavilion drinking, took a few sips and said, "Drink."

After a while, someone jumped down from the octagonal pavilion, sat in front of the stone table, sniffed it, and said, "Good wine."

Of course the face was not Heitu's, but Mo Yuan didn't know if it was Miaoshoukongkong's real appearance, but it wasn't something he cared about.It doesn't matter whether it's black soil, or it doesn't matter whether it's a skillful hand or an empty hand, the human heart is the most important thing.He poured him a glass of wine and said, "Since you have the ability, why don't you serve the country openly?"

Miao drank a glass of wine empty-handed, and said seriously: "I don't think so, it's just a cold dress, and it's not fun at all to be beaten out with sticks at the gate of the palace."

"So just cover it up with stealing?"

"That's right...but in the end they stopped playing with me, even if you want to help them improve their defensive formation. Except...Mocheng."

The last four words made Mo Yuan feel relieved, and also made him respectful.

Although his identity is a thief, what he can do is a first-class event.He also finally understood why Miaoshou was so persistent in Mocheng.Because I was as persistent as him, the two were already friends.

"How about... let's become in-laws."

The hand holding the cup in Miao's empty hand paused suddenly: "Huh? My identity is a thief."

"Now you can't contribute to the country. When we become in-laws in the future, we will be able to enter and leave the palace openly."

Miaoshou smiled empty-handedly: "Aren't you afraid that the Mo family will get a bad name? Married to a thief?"

Mo Yuan frowned: "You are not a thief."

"You say no, but in the eyes of the world, I am."

Mo Yuan was at a loss for words, these words were indeed true.

Miao poured himself a glass of wine empty-handed, looked at the drink dangling in the glass, and said in silence for a long time: "My son's bones are not good, even if he practices lightness kung fu to the extreme, he can't be like me, so I plan to hide it. Follow him, don't let him know my identity, and don't let him follow my path."

Mo Yuan looked at him: "You want to retire?"

"I think so, but I'm still very interested in the things in Mocheng. After all, I have to save some money to live."

Seeing his frivolous and complacent tone, Mo Yuan was not annoyed, instead he smiled: "Then keep coming, but I will not give up on in-law matters."

"I'll talk about it later when I have a daughter." Miao Shoukong thought for a while, took out a piece of dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his bosom, broke it apart with force, separated the two intact jade pendants of dragon and phoenix, and threw the dragon piece to him, "My family's ancestors, let's take it as a token."

Mo Yuan accepted it steadily, and heard him say again: "I am not called Heitu."

Mo Yuan's eyebrows twitched: "I know, don't insult my brain."

Miaoshou Kongkong laughed loudly: "My surname is Yun, Yun Feitian, a flying flying sky." He said again, "The face that came to see you today is my Yun Feitian's face."

If it wasn't for trust, how could a thief who was hunted down by the court show his true colors to someone who was regarded as an enemy.

Mo Yuan couldn't help being moved, he held the jade pendant with dragon pattern tightly, and when the two families become relatives in the future, that's when he and he will drink and chat openly.

I hope that day will not come too late.

Outside the octagonal pavilion, the wind and snow howled, making the sky and the earth white, and it was extremely silent.
