Chapter 167 The Phoenix Is Flying
The lobby on the first floor of the inn was extremely lively today, because everyone was talking about the Embroidered Thief.
"Do you know the Embroidered Thief?"
"Of course I know. I also know that this embroidery thief is not a woman, but a man."
"Men embroider?"
"He doesn't embroider, what he embroiders is blind."
"I have another piece of news here."
"What news, tell me quickly!"
"I heard that Lu Xiaofeng is going to investigate this matter."
"Lu Xiaofeng? Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows?"
"It seems that this matter will soon come to light."
"You all trust Lu Xiaofeng too much, don't you? I think he's going to stumble this time."
"Gamble or not?"
"Betting is betting."
Jiang Xuehan pushed Yang Qingyue and said, "Let's go and see where there is a gambling house later."
Yang Qingyue asked her: "What does madam want to do?"
Jiang Xuehan said: "I want to place a bet on Lu Xiaofeng."
Yang Qingyue raised her eyebrows, "It's okay if Ma'am is nervous."
Jiang Xuehan rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Whoever has tight hands, I won't have tight hands."
The money in her system back then has not been used up yet.
Yang Qingyue asked: "Since this is the case, why does Madam still want to bet money?"
Jiang Xuehan was confident and confident, "If you have money, you can't make money if you don't make money."
Yang Qingyue shook the wine glass, "It seems Madam has great confidence in Lu Xiaofeng."
Jiang Xuehan smiled slightly, and said: "You don't understand..." Your wife is a woman who has cheated in the plot, she said: "You just say whether to go or not."
Yang Qingyue said helplessly: "Madam has already said, how dare you not go as your husband?"
After dinner, the two went to a gambling house called Silver Hook Casino near the inn to place bets.
Jiang Xuehan felt that the name of the gambling house was familiar, but she knew a lot of things, so she didn't take it to heart, and only beat Lu Xiaofeng in the game of the gambling house.
When Jiang Xuehan and Yang Qingyue returned to the inn, they saw the boy from yesterday sitting blankly at the table where they ate, neither ordering food nor drinking tea, just sitting quietly.
Jiang Xuehan was a little strange, she asked the boy: "What are you doing sitting there blankly?"
The boy was very happy to see Jiang Xuehan, "Sister, you are back."
Jiang Xuehan smiled and said, "I don't know your name yet."
The young man smiled shyly and said, "My name is Gong Jiu."
"Gong Jiu, this name is so casual." Jiang Xuehan didn't realize it at first.
When she realized it, the future big boss Gong Jiuzheng said to her obediently: "Because I am the ninth apprentice of the master."
Jiang Xuehan was surprised, "Your master has taken so many apprentices?"
Although she knew that this young man was He Gongjiu, Jiang Xuehan was still very calm in her heart. She had already guessed that the young man was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and now she just proved her guess with facts.
Gong Jiu nodded and smiled cutely, "Yes." It's just that they are all dead.
Yang Qingyue saw some tricks, "Are they still alive?"
Gong Jiu was in a bit of a dilemma, and didn't know how to answer. Nodding her head was lying, and my sister definitely didn't like it; shaking her head was a bit of a disintegration, which was really annoying.
Jiang Xuehan shook her head helplessly, she tapped on the table with bent fingers and said, "Be honest."
Gong Jiu could only shake his head and said, "It's gone."
Jiang Xuehan made two "stains" and said, "Your master simply treats your apprentice as a consumable!"
Gong Jiu didn't have deep feelings for Wu Ming, so he betrayed Wu Ming's reputation very quickly. He said: "The exercises he practiced are very strange. Nine out of ten people will explode and die after practicing."
Jiang Xuehan raised his eyebrows, "Then you must have excellent bones and outstanding aptitude to survive, right?"
Gong Jiu shook his head very much, and said honestly: "No, I survived because I didn't practice his exercises at all."
Jiang Xuehan: What a slap in the face.
"My mother is his junior sister." A look of nostalgia appeared on Gong Jiu's face, "That's why he didn't force me to practice his martial arts, and passed on my mother's martial arts to me."
Jiang Xuehan could feel how tender Gong Jiu was when he mentioned his mother.
Gong Jiu smiled and said: "I don't know why, but I feel very excited to talk to my sister. Maybe it's because my sister is a bit like my mother."
If Shaman is similar in appearance, then Jiang Xuehan is similar in temperament.
Gong Jiu felt that compared with Jiang Xuehan, Shaman was like a poor imitation.
He even felt that as long as he stayed by Jiang Xuehan's side, his strange habit would heal without any medicine.
Jiang Xuehan patted his head and said with a smile: "It's okay for you to regard me as your mother. Speaking of which, my daughters may be as old as you."
"(⊙o⊙)...?" Gong Jiu was rarely stunned.
Jiang Xuehan couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh.
Gong Jiu thought that Jiang Xuehan was teasing him, and he said, "My sister really knows how to tease me."
Jiang Xuehan shook his index finger and said seriously: "I didn't lie to you."
Along the way, how many people mistook her for a young and beautiful girl because of this face, that feeling is really cool!
Gong Jiu smiled, "That's better."
Jiang Xuehan also laughed
Yang Qingyue didn't smile, he asked Gong Jiu: "How is Gongsun Lan?"
Gong Jiu said: "She is still asleep."
Jiang Xuehan and Yang Qingyue looked at each other, knowing what to do.
But it's good for Gongsun Lan to fall asleep, it will save them trouble.
Why do you say that?Because they are ready to leave.
Jiang Xuehan and Yang Qingyue stayed here to settle Gong Jiu.
Now that Gong Jiu is awake, they naturally have no reason to stay, so the husband and wife packed up and set off, but this time there was a little tail Gong Jiu among them.
They walked fairly smoothly along the way, if you don't count the scene of corpses strewn across the field in front of them.
Jiang Xuehan frowned and said, "What's going on?"
I saw many people laying in disorder in front of them. Beside these people were carts and carts of boxes. The boxes were placed in a mess on the carts. Occasionally, a few cracks were opened, revealing the golden ingots inside.
Gong Jiu observed for a while and said, "It should be murder and robbery."
"No." Yang Qingyue shook her head, "They're not dead yet."
Jiang Xuehan simply got out of the carriage to check. She knelt down and looked carefully at the people lying on the ground, and found that they were not dead as Yang Qingyue said.
Although they didn't die, they also looked miserable. Their eyelids were densely covered with traces of needlework, which looked extremely terrifying. Jiang Xuehan guessed that the reason why they lay motionless was probably fainted from pain.
"It's the Embroidery Thief." With such an obvious technique, one can tell it's the Embroidery Thief's handwriting.
Gong Jiu has also heard of the Embroidered Thief, not only has he heard of it, he even knows who the Embroidered Thief is, and who is the mastermind behind the Embroidered Thief.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a faint cry for help coming from ahead.
Jiang Xuehan walked forward on the wind, but not far ahead, a strange man in a big padded jacket came down with an embroidery needle in his hand, and the shiny embroidery needle shone silver in the sun.
Jiang Xuehan flicked his sleeves, and a wave of air flew past, overturning the weird man.
The strange man suddenly turned his head, and Jiang Xuehan saw an unfamiliar face.
The weird man was very vigilant, his first reaction when he saw Jiang Xuehan was not to kill him, but to run away.
Jiang Xuehan didn't chase after her either, because the little girl who was almost blinded by the embroiderer thief pulled Jiang Xuehan's sleeve and cried while still in shock.
Jiang Xuehan comforted her for a long time before the little girl regained her composure.
Jiang Xuehan asked her: "Which family are you from? Why did you get targeted by the embroidered thieves?"
The little girl said without defense: "My name is Shangguan Mingzhu, and I am the princess of Jinpeng Kingdom."
"Kingdom of Jinpeng?" Jiang Xuehan recalled Shangguan Yu, the little emperor's grandson of the Kingdom of Jinpeng who was loved by thousands of people back then, so he asked, "Is your father Shangguan Yu?"
Shangguan Mingzhu was surprised, "You know my father?"
Jiang Xuehan smiled and said, "I am deeply impressed."
From Shangguan Mingzhu's mouth, Jiang Xuehan learned about the follow-up of the Jinpeng Dynasty.
Under Amei's reminder, Shangguan Yu united with the current emperor and took back the land that belonged to the Jinpeng Kingdom. Although he ceded a lot of benefits for this, it was better than fighting alone.
After the Jinpeng Kingdom was rebuilt, Shangguan Yu was pushed to the throne by Shangguan Jin, Shangguan Gao, Shangguan Ge and others. Shangguan Gao became the Supreme Emperor, and Qiu Yirong was the Empress Dowager. Even Shangguan Jin and Shangguan Ge were made princes.
And Shangguan Mingzhu is the youngest daughter of Shangguan Yu, who has been loved since she was a child. This time she came to the Central Plains to give the treasures of the Jinpeng Kingdom to the emperor of the Central Plains.
Shangguan Mingzhu said: "My father said that our Jinpeng Kingdom still needs to recuperate, so we must tightly hug the thigh of the Emperor of the Central Plains."
Jiang Xuehan: ...Shangguan Jin is really insightful.
"But I never thought that the Emperor of Central Plains didn't see me, and my life was almost lost." Shangguan Mingzhu was still a little terrified when she said it now.
"It's not likely to kill you, but it's very possible to kill your eyes." Gong Jiu is not used to Shangguan Mingzhu, probably because Shangguan Mingzhu has been clinging to Jiang Xuehan.
Shangguan Mingzhu was very angry, "Why do you have no sympathy at all? Think about it, I am a girl, and I went to the Central Plains alone, and I was almost blinded by someone. What a tragedy!"
Gong Jiu said coolly: "No one forced you to come!"
