To catch a thief, to catch a phoenix first

The moon and stars are thin tonight, and it has been several days since I left the palace.Taking advantage of the moonlight, she wrapped her petite body in night clothes, and wanted to do something elegant—theft.

Uh, well, not very elegant.

She has never been a gentleman on Liangshang, and even though the great female emperor has world-class martial arts, she is not very proficient in overcoming the wall.

After all, when she was still the ninth princess, she allowed her to kick all the doors in the world. Of course, without her asking, the door was either kicked open by the shadow guard, or the owner of the house greeted him personally.

How can a person who is only fifteen years old and able to climb the dragon chair be an ordinary person, let alone Shi Xianyu who is a daughter?

Since she was a child, she secretly learned from the masters of various sects, and even surpassed the blue out of the blue, and her martial arts attainments are so high that ordinary people can't match in a lifetime.

The palace people only know that there are four shadow guards with outstanding martial arts and extraordinary skills beside the empress, who are also women, and they are inseparable from them, but they don't know that the empress is far superior to the four of them.

Ping An Inn, second floor.

While the guests in the room were going to go to the toilet, Shi Xianyu glued it on, broke in through the window, squatted down and nimbly walked away a jadeite inlaid jade bracelet on the table, and put it in his arms.

Suddenly there was a noise outside the door, and the situation in the secret passage was not good, so he hurriedly escaped through the window and stepped on the eaves of the first floor carefully.

It was late at night, there were very few pedestrians on the street, and no one looked up.If Da Gengjiang looked up at this time, it would be a disaster——there are thieves making trouble on the eaves.

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom—boom! Boom! Boom!"

"It's freezing cold—"

The fine snow was flying, and Shi Xianyu let out a long breath after Da Gengjiang walked through the cold street, and jumped back to the ground.

Taking advantage of the darkness, she quickly untied the night clothes on her body, and hid the emerald-encrusted gold bracelet that came along in her sleeve.

Before sneaking into the inn, he had already thrown away his baggage, and now he was penniless, not to mention packing clothes, and he didn't even have half a purse, so what should he do with his night clothes?

Suddenly, he had an idea, dug up the snowdrift, buried the night clothes under the snow to destroy the corpses and wiped out all traces. After the night clothes were completely buried, his hands were so cold that he couldn't feel it.

Shi Xianyu tore a dozen or so cuts on Luo Chang's body indiscriminately, messed up her bun, touched the soot on the ground with her hand, and wiped her face a few times to create signs of a fight.

Everything is ready.

It was cold and cold in November, and the snow did not stop. She leaned against the wall bricks and huddled outside the door of the Ping An Inn, shivering from the cold, the fine snow on her hair condensed into frost, and her pretty face was flushed from the cold.

In about two hours, the two of them will get up and hurry.Just hold on for a while, hold on for a while, and you're done.

In order for Second Emperor Brother to take care of everything for her, the only thing she has to do is to set up a big situation, a big situation to lure the snake out of the hole.

Before I knew it, I gradually fell asleep.

Persuading customers to comel's hoof soup, cream orange pressed fragrant orange.While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

The next day, dawn broke.

"Shopkeeper, are you awake, shopkeeper?"

At that time, early in the morning, several passers-by who got up early were eating on the first floor. Seeing that the shopkeeper hadn’t come out for a long time, Xiao Gao stood outside the guest room where the shopkeeper slept, and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Suspicion, could it be that I went to bed late?

It should be noted that the shopkeeper is the most punctual, there has never been a day when he got up late, if it wasn't for going to bed late, then...could it be because of the cold?

After imagining the picture of the shopkeeper being a weak woman, who fell ill on the bed and no one could help her, Xiao Gao thought of the vicious and cold-faced young master again.

It's too bad, if something happens to the shopkeeper, the young master doesn't have to chop him into 18 yuan?

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Gao slammed heavily on the door with all his strength.

"bump!"

The door didn't knock down, but Xiao Gao was bounced on the ground by this force, rubbing his buttocks, thinking tearfully, damn, what door will open when it hits, it's all fake!

But he is a good boy in the new century, and he must never give up lightly, so he was not discouraged, and climbed up again on the ground, put his ear on the wooden door, and listened to the indoor situation.

"Huh? Why is there a sound of rummaging through things? Is the shopkeeper looking for something?"

"It seems quite impatient, do you want to help her?"

Xiao Gao murmured a few times, then began to knock on the door vigorously, shouting repeatedly while knocking: "The shopkeeper──"

The door was opened unexpectedly, and the female shopkeeper stood expressionlessly at the door, holding the door frame with both hands, with a look of impending rain on her face, which made Xiao Gao tremble a little.

Could it be that he disturbed people's lucid dreams?

Xiao Gao stretched his facial muscles with great speed, spread out a sincere smile, and said hello devoutly.

"Good morning, shopkeeper."

"The bracelet is gone."

"Bracelet? What bracelet?"

Xiao Gao slandered inwardly, in such a place where nothing shit happens, someone would make a special trip to the inn to steal things?There are many people in the inn, and it is not so easy to really check it.

Apparently the female shopkeeper didn't think so. She was always amiable and never easily got angry with others, but the bracelet was carved by her younger brother Wen Nongmo himself, how could it be easy?

During the reign of the first emperor, he was extravagant, ignored government affairs, and there were countless corrupt officials in the court. She ranked third in the family, and her father was a failed scholar. He named her Wanmeng, hoping that her life would be like a dream.

She and her younger brother, who was one year younger than herself, were born in a remote village since childhood. Ten years ago, there was a famine in Songxi Town, and the food and salaries issued by the court were shared by the local magistrate.

In winter, hungry and cold, many people died in the village.The siblings escaped with great difficulty, but they didn't have any troubles on their bodies. Fortunately, they had noble people to help them.

Since then, they have another identity.

She is the master of the Tianji Mansion who inquired about news from all parties for the prince, while her younger brother Wen Nongmo was trained as an assassin. Ten years is enough for him to grow into the master of the Yan Luo Palace.

The two rivers and lakes forces are actually under the control of the prince.

The two siblings originally performed their duties and rarely saw each other, so that bracelet was of extraordinary significance to Wen Wanmeng.

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't accept the fact that the bracelet disappeared for no reason. Seeing Xiao Gao's bewildered face, she rubbed between her brows irritably, turned around and continued to search for things.

Nearly two hours later, the bracelet was still not found.

Xiao Gao stood at the door for a long time, and it was inconvenient to enter the room. He was afraid of ruining the reputation of the shopkeeper, so he had to worry: "Shopkeeper, just forget it if you can't find it? It's not a big deal if the bracelet is missing, but it's a big deal if it's delayed..."

Wen Wanmeng was impatient with his reading, and she frowned, finally picked up the bag, carried it on her shoulder, and walked out the door without looking back.

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to leave, Xiao Gao hurriedly picked up the bag on the ground. After all, he was just a boy, so the bag was of course much heavier than hers, and it weighed heavily on his back, so he had to walk faster to catch up with her.

There was a rattling sound on the stairs, and the master and servant went straight downstairs. When they passed the checkout counter, Xiao Gao took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve with difficulty, threw them on the wooden table, and continued to chase after her.

Knowing that Wen Wanmeng was in a fit of anger, and walking was windy, Xiao Gao had no choice but to run over.Unexpectedly, as soon as she crossed the threshold, she suddenly stopped at the door, and Xiao Gao fell headfirst on her bag, and was hit on the nose by something.

The bridge of his nose was red, and he covered his nose in pain, but his eyes drifted to where she was looking.I saw a snowman lying at the door. From his posture, he should have been fainted from the cold.

The reason why it is a snowman is because the little girl's body is covered with a thin layer of frost and snow, and I don't know how long she has suffered from the cold.It's a pity that there is not even a place to shelter from the wind and snow in this kind of ghostly weather.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Gao stepped forward and kicked the lifeless snowman. When he found that the snowman was motionless, he couldn't help being a little scared.

"The villain has offended you so much, don't you blame it, don't blame it..."

"Xiao Gao, pull her up and see if she's still alive."

"The shopkeeper... No, it's not good!"

Thinking that this snowman might be a dead person, Xiao Gao had the idea of ​​retreating.

Wen Wanmeng raised her chin slightly, her face was as cold as frost.

Seeing her like this, he had no choice but to bite the bullet, and after a lot of effort, with bulging veins on his hands, he finally pulled the snowman out of the snow.

After spending a lot of thought, when the frost and snow on the snowman's body were almost swept away, Xiao Gao supported the snowman with one hand and probed the snowman's breath with the other.

When the knuckles brushed against the weak breath, he let out a long breath: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper! She is still alive!"

Hearing this, Wen Wanmeng's face was as usual, but she was already looking up and down at the little girl in front of her—her hair was messy, her clothes were disheveled, and she didn't have any burden on her body... There were all kinds of signs that this girl had experienced a fight.

The material of the clothes is not bad. In her mind, she automatically made up a picture of "the down-and-out daughter was ransacked by bandits on the way to seek refuge with relatives". She still has a conscience. If she leaves this little girl here, she will feel a little bit unbearable. .

"Xiao Gao, let's leave tomorrow. I'll help her in first, and I want a bucket of hot water to warm her up. You go to the city quickly, go to the nearby medical center, ask a doctor to come, and go to the tailor shop by the way, and buy her some A new suit."

"Nowadays, when the dog official is in power, there are many people dying of starvation and cold. Is it worth delaying the trip for an irrelevant person?"

"Are you not happy?"

"Looking at her attire, I know she is the daughter of a wealthy family. Even if we all save her today, she may not repay her kindly. Shopkeeper, forget it..."

Even though she has been dealing with people in the court all these years, Wen Wanmeng's kindness has never changed. Hearing Xiao Gao say this, her face darkened. She has also tasted the feeling of dying. If it is not for the prince, I am afraid that the two siblings Already exposed to the wilderness.

After all, he couldn't bear to scold him, Xiao Gao was young, and he had never experienced birth, old age, illness and death.

If you are endowed with the mentality that more things are worse than less things, Xiao Gao's words are not wrong, but in this world, she always believes that people must have conscience and principles before they can be called human beings. On the contrary, how is it different from animals?

Wen Wanmeng took over the frozen little girl from the master, and persuaded her sincerely: "Whether it is a golden branch, jade leaves, or a jewel in the palm, she is human and the same as us. Even if she doesn't repay her kindness, we can't see her die." No help."

"Xiao Gao, hurry up and invite the doctor. Remember, you should not ask for anything in return for doing good."
