female catcher

In the bustling market, Nangong Biluo glanced at the sneaky people in the dark, and then looked at the small stalls on the street.There are many craftsmen in the south, and the handmade products are famous all over the world. Even the small stalls such as silk brocade jewelry are extraordinarily delicate and pleasing, and there are dazzling arrays of things to see.

Nangong Biluo dresses up in men's clothing, so she can't gather around the stalls like women on the street to pick and choose, but it doesn't hinder her sight. While admiring the ingenuity of craftsmanship, there is nothing that catches her eye.Those tails in the dark followed suit step by step. Nangong Biluo was just wandering around, and remained unchanged until the shadows with unknown positions took action.

Halfway through a long street, Nangong Biluo, who seemed to be strolling in a garden, suddenly quickened her pace, and the few people who followed her took a few steps in shock, but she stopped in front of a stall and picked up a butterfly flower. Jin Bu Yao was looking carefully.

King butterfly, orchid, purple tassels, finely ground purple glazed stones are rounded, dotted on the tassels, the purple is slightly like the blue of the stars in the Milky Way, noble and mysterious, among the many accessories, it caught Nangong Biluo's eyeball, delicately Looking at it, I am happy.

The stall owner looked at her expression carefully, and immediately said: "Master, are you picking a gift? You have a good eye. This step is the first-class product among the gold-plated flowers and pearls. Butterfly loves flowers, that is, magpies step on branches, There is also the fish and water in the apartment, it is the best gift for the person you like, as long as it is ten taels of silver, it is perfect, if you like it, buy it."

Nangong Biluo looked up at the peddler, but smiled and said nothing.

At this time, a hand stretched out from the side, and took away the golden step from Nangong Biluo's hand.Situ Lingxiao finally remembered his elder sister Nangong from the siege of enthusiastic women, grabbed Jin Buyao and looked it over, and said: "Don't listen to Nangong, it doesn't cost ten taels of silver, the boss bullies you!" Don’t you understand the goods?”

The peddler's face froze, and Situ Lingxiao continued: "The craftsmanship of this Jinbuyao is just ordinary, and the shape and the color of the glazed stone are just okay. I think the highest is only five taels. It's not nonsense, five taels of silver, okay , this young master will take it." Saying that, he took out five taels of silver.

However, Nangong Biluo avoided Situ Lingxiao, picked up the golden step again, left behind ten taels of silver, and left.

Situ Lingxiao's expression changed, and he immediately followed, whispering next to Nangong Biluo: "Sister Shi, if you like this walking stick, I'll buy it for you, but you don't have to be in such a hurry, obviously you can't spend that much money of."

Nangong Biluo put Bu Yao away, and teased, "Young Master Situ still cares about such a small amount of money?"

"It's not a matter of lack of money. It's not your habit to buy a small stall with ten taels of silver so extravagant. After a while, I'll pay for what you like." Situ Lingxiao raised his head and spread his fan , looks rich and powerful.

Nangong Biluo did not stop Situ Lingxiao's generosity, even though she was the chief arrester of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the ten taels of silver was almost her annual salary.As for the rewards for major offenders and court rewards, they either supplemented the family or were donated by her. She never had much silver taels.It’s just that I don’t know why I am unwilling to bargain when I see this step at a glance.

Situ Lingxiao also knew that Nangong Biluo was exceptionally generous because of his two sleeves. What's more, Nangong Biluo didn't buy much. Most of them were small items from his daughter's house, which were easy to carry. Most of them were chosen for the female family members of Nangong's family.

It was also because the woman who had been chatting with Situ Lingxiao, who had been in a constant stream of shopping, was also discouraged when she saw Situ Lingxiao being courteous to another 'man'.

Nangong Biluo picked and picked again and again, and finally chose the gift of Liushang, and the two planned to go to the famous Anping Bridge here to have a look.As soon as they left the booth, Situ Lingxiao turned around and almost ran into a shadow, and someone blocked their way.

Three burly men, and a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a gloomy face.

The middle-aged man was well-dressed, with a long and thin face, about forty years old, with a smooth face, and his eagle-like eyes stared at Nangong and Nangong. They were not friendly, and pedestrians avoided them one after another.

Situ Lingxiao frowned as he looked at the passerby looking down at him, and thought to himself that he was too ostentatious, which attracted local snakes.But the strong man standing in front of him separated him, and several people surrounded the unremarkable Nangong Biluo, obviously coming towards Nangong Biluo.

The middle-aged man made a bow and said, "My master invites Nangong to catch the head and get together through the door."

Nangong Biluo didn't panic when someone revealed her identity, and asked, "Who is your master?"

"Nangong arrests the head, you will know when you go." The middle-aged man obviously didn't want to reveal too much.

Nangong Biluo listened to his breathing, looked at his face and hands, and knew that this middle-aged man was not only profound in internal strength, but also a master of swordsman, and also had a kind face.Furthermore, she found that after these people appeared, Tail, which had been following them, left quietly, and said with a smile: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

At the request of the middle-aged man, he took the two of them through several streets, and walked more and more to secluded places, until they reached the suburbs.

Situ Lingxiao became vigilant and felt very uncomfortable with these people, but seeing Nangong Biluo's calm expression, he calmed down and dealt with it calmly.

Nangong Biluo secretly observed these four people, the most profound martial arts is this short and thin middle-aged man, "May I ask the master's name, sir?"

The middle-aged man didn't even look at her, and he said neither cold nor indifferent, "You'll know when you go."

Nangong Biluo was not annoyed, and asked again: "Then, do you know Taoist Qingfeng of the Huashan School?"

The middle-aged man finally turned his head, staring at Nangong Biluo with sword-like eyes, and restrained his murderous aura with the confident smile on the corner of Nangong Biluo's mouth, "He is my senior brother."

Nangong Biluo knew the identity of this person, "In this way, sir is Jianzong Wu Fangming Senior Wu."

"Wu Fangming is dead, and I'm just Yi Wu, the butler of the mansion. Nangong arrests the head, please."

While speaking, they had arrived at a secluded mountain villa in the suburbs.

The villa is backed by the woods, there is no word on the door plaque, the decoration in front of the door is simple, there is only a couplet: the sun, menstruation, and sky, hidden ancient and modern Chinese and foreign mysteries.The latitude of rivers and rivers contains the mysteries of southeast, northwest and north.

Nothing can be seen outside the gate of the villa, and there is a sense of seclusion in the whole.

The accompanying brawny man pushed open the gate, and Yi Wu took Nangong and the others into the villa.

The moment you enter, you feel like you have entered the Taoyuan by mistake. You can see the peach trees at the entrance, which are shaded by opposites.The main house is right in front, different from the plain gate, it is very grand, the eaves are hung with bells of the sun, moon and stars, and a big iron gossip hangs in the middle, Yi Wu asked Nangong and the two to follow him closely, and then led the way ahead , from the entrance to the main house is a straight stone path with a pattern like a chessboard, which is not long but walks for a long time.

Situ Lingxiao had been staring at Tie Bagua in the main house in front of him, and suddenly felt dizzy, he suddenly came back to his senses and whispered to Nangong Biluo: "This compound is built according to the Qimen Dunjia in the "Taibai Yin Jing". Yes, the master kills. The butler is right, it is safe to follow him closely, I thought only my father likes to do this. Sister Shi, the owner of this house is not your enemy, right?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Biluo made a rough guess about the identity of the owner of the villa, glanced at Yi Wu who was leading the way, and smiled at Situ Lingxiao, "You will know when you see it."

The closed door of the main house was in sight.

"Nangong Butou, my master is inside, please." Yi Wu pushed open the door, and after Nangong Biluo and the others entered, it was immediately closed.

The lighting in the room was not very good, it looked very dark, but soon the candles in the room were lit, and a dozen glazed lamps lit up almost simultaneously, but it seemed that only Yi Wu and them were in the room.Nangong Biluo moved her ears, and heard the sound of the machinery being pulled.Yi Wu went into the back room, leaving Nangong Biluo and the others behind.

The interior of the house can be described as resplendent and resplendent, comparable to the rich and powerful Fengyue Tower. Authentic works of famous masters, antiques from the Qin and Han Dynasties, and Tang Sancai are carefully arranged in the house.

Even Situ Lingxiao, who came from a family background like Situ Lingxiao, was shocked by the scene in front of him. With sharp eyes, he saw a meridian map hanging on the wall, walked over immediately and shouted: "Look, Nangong, this is the "Book of Changes". Rubbings of the Eight Meridians of the Extraordinary Meridians."

"Haha, very few young people know about "The Book of Changes" now." Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, and Yi Wu pushed an old man in a golden wheelchair out from behind the curtain. It is not difficult to see that Man is the master of this house.

The old man has gray hair and a long white beard around his mouth. His face is wrinkled and weather-beaten, and his facial features are more profound than ordinary people.Two deep-set eyes, deep and bright, with a strange blue color, look very divine.He was sitting in a golden wheelchair, but he was wearing a blue cloth coat, with a thin quilt covering his legs to cover his knees and feet.The wheelchair has fine patterns, and the armrest is carved with a ferocious beast like an ape. Its eyes are inlaid with rubies, and its head is plated with silver. It is very similar to the legendary Zhu Yan.

Nangong Biluo glanced at the old man and the wheelchair, clasped his fists and saluted, "Nangong Biluo has seen Master Tang."

Tang Huairen laughed out loud, and it was expected that Nangong Biluo would see through his identity, "My half-buried old man is no longer an adult. When a distinguished guest comes, forgive me for not being able to greet him in person. I have already prepared all the food and drinks. For the friendship of the landlord, I also hope that Nangong Tutou will give me thin noodles. Xiaowu, let's serve."

Yi Wu got the order, and soon a round table was set up in the living room, and the delicacies and wines on it were never heard or seen before.Tang Huairen sat in the main seat, smiling all over his face, "Captain Nangong, and Mr. Situ, please sit down, and the bouillon and side dishes will welcome the two of you."

Situ Lingxiao frowned, unable to see what the old man who hosted the hero meeting was up to. Seeing that Nangong Biluo had sat down, he also sat down.Yi Wu poured the first glass of wine for Tang Huairen, Nangong Biluo and Situ Lingxiao, then put down the jug, and stood respectfully behind Tang Huairen.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, with a smell of traditional Chinese medicine, which smells very comfortable. The candlelight in the glass cup warms the room, and the burning incense candle also emits a refreshing fragrance.

Nangong Biluo glanced at the wine in front of him, seeing Yi Wu's respect for Tang Huairen.Tang Huairen raised his glass and said: "This is Qingjiu Tianmendong, long-term consumption can eliminate five fatigue and seven injuries, and prolong the life of the skin. Like Nangong Tutou who has been practicing martial arts all year round, it is better to drink it, please." After finishing speaking, drink it up first.

The two of Nangong also toasted and drank a glass of wine. After drinking a glass of wine, warmth rushed into their hearts. The sake is not intoxicating, and it moistens the internal organs and blood vessels, which is very comfortable.

Tang Huairen laughed again, "Since ancient times, heroes came out of youth, I have heard of the names of the two, especially Nangong's captors who don't give in to men. It's a pity that when you entered the court, I had already left the capital, otherwise I wouldn't be here now. I just got acquainted. But—”

His eyes suddenly sharpened a little, "I've heard that Nangong, the headhunter, is loyal to his duty, so he suddenly visited this small town in Quanzhou. Could it be that he came here for business?"

"No. When I'm tired after wearing the official uniform for a long time, I'm just taking a vacation to enjoy the scenery of the hero conference. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Tianji before I went to the Queqiao Tower." Nangong Biluo poured out for herself One glass of wine, one gulp.

Tang Huairen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Haha, that's true, hard-working people also need to rest. Nangong Catcher is also a son and daughter of the Jianghu, my hero conference welcomes heroes from all over the world, come and eat vegetables .” He greeted Nangong and Biluo.

Situ Ling Xiao was on guard, he only moved his chopsticks when he saw Nangong Biluo move his chopsticks, Nangong Biluo was not polite, and knew Tang Huairen's temptation well.

Every time Tang Huairen raises his glass, he pays attention to the expressions of Nangong and the two of them. Seeing that they are eating calmly, he puts down his glass and says with a smile: "I have heard that Nangong is very knowledgeable. What do you think?" How is my village?"

"Since I'm outside, you can just call me Nangong." Nangong Biluo swallowed the snow clam meat caught on the chopsticks, and looked around the room, "Mr. There are five elements in the strange gate, the eaves are hung with astronomical and astrological phenomena, and there are countless rare treasures in the house. If I am a mere headhunter, I am afraid that I will not be able to get a vase in Mr.'s house in my life." Sighing, Nangong Bi Luo drank another glass of wine, and the flagon also bottomed out.

"Haha, Nangong is too humble." Tang Huairen signaled Yi Wu to bring wine to Nangong Biluo, and he raised his glass, his blue eyes deepened a bit, "As long as you think about it, it's not difficult to be rich."

Nangong Biluo added more wine, but she raised her glass without drinking, her smile became unfathomable, "Really?" She drank it down again.

When she put down the wine glass, her eyes met with Tang Huairen's, and Tang Huairen laughed again: "Of course!"

Nangong Biluo also laughed, and Situ Lingxiao and Yi Wu just looked at the laughing person silently.Situ Lingxiao saw Nangong Biluo raised his wine glass and toasted Tang Huairen again, he frowned, wine is good wine, but drinking too much will cause trouble.After the first glass of wine, no more alcohol.

Nangong Biluo, who seldom drank alcohol, drank uncharacteristically. After the toast, her expression suddenly became a little more complicated and embarrassed, "It is a coincidence that the two of us came here uninvited, sir. My brother Situ has been looking for Mr., and I have asked for Mr. Unfortunately, Mr. has been in a hurry, and he occasionally got a few words from Mr. Hero’s post, so he asked me to find Mr.’s trace, and the two of us came here. The Heroes Conference is just for fun, just to join in the fun."

As soon as Nangong Biluo finished speaking, Situ Lingxiao felt her kick on his feet, and immediately reacted and said, "Yes, my father admires Zhuge Wuhou very much, and loves collecting ancient medical books. I heard that sir has "The Ancient Books of Wolong" "Book of Changes" wanted to cut off love with my husband, but I don't know if my husband is willing? Of course, I don't want my husband to give it away for free. Rare book exchange, how about it?"

After Tang Huairen was slightly startled, he saw the different expressions of Nangong and Biluo, and laughed heartily again, "I have heard that your father knows astronomy and geography, and Qimen Dunjia is even more superb. Compared with exchanging two books, the old man I would even like to compete with him face to face. Your filial piety is commendable, but the young man gave it to you as a gift, which is considered to be a friend with Tianwai Villa. Yi Wu took Mr. Situ to get those two books."

Yi Wu took a look at Nangong Biluo, and stepped forward to ask, "Please, Mr. Situ."

"Why is this so embarrassing? Reciprocity, I'd better go back to the inn to transfer He Tu,"

"Situ, since this is Mr. Tianji's kindness, you can accept it graciously. Sansheng is lucky to meet a friend like Mr.." Nangong Biluo interrupted Situ Lingxiao.

Seeing that Tang Huairen also nodded to him, Situ Lingxiao cupped his fists and thanked him: "In that case, thank you sir." Then he went out with Yi Wu.

Only Nangong Biluo and Tang Huairen were left in the room.

"I would like to thank you again for the generosity of Mr. Situ, who has achieved his wish. This time, half of the goal has been achieved." Nangong Biluo's smile changed again, and it became a bit tentative, "I just don't know if the generous Mr. The people who intercepted the hero posts halfway join in the fun?"

Tang Huairen sneered when he heard the words, "Nangong Catcher, since there are only you and me, let's talk about it. If you have solved the mystery of the Magpie Bridge Tower, you two are really just asking for books?"

"My brother's goal is to seek books and be famous, but I—as a head catcher, accidentally learned the true meaning of the Heroes Conference, so it's a bit unjustifiable not to come."

Tang Huairen's face darkened, "So you really came here for the public?" He took his hand back from the table and put it on the armrest of the wheelchair, his eyes were vigilant, "Or, is this just a threat?"

"Ha, sir, why be nervous. As soon as I entered the territory of Quanzhou, I was followed by many people, including many of you. Now you have set up this reception banquet. If I came here for the public, how could I end up dying in the line of duty?" It's not too wronged, and I also got Situ Lingxiao. Besides, I have been tired all these years, and my enemies have accumulated a lot. Recently, I was targeted by the walking corpse building. I also want to go back to the mountains with money, just like my husband. Build a paradise of your own, but it’s a pity that I can’t do it with my hard-earned money for the court. The husband also said that wealth and honor can be obtained as long as I want. I’m not a threat, but I just want to use my ability to share a cup with the husband Soup. Ming people don’t say secret words, Zhang Shicheng’s treasure, I want the second out of [-]%.”

Tang Huairen stared at Nangong Biluo's eyes, and gradually relaxed the armrest, with suspicion still in his eyes, "Nangong is really good at catching heads, not only guessing my purpose, but also knowing how to make full use of his identity, one step ahead, to talk to me Conditions. Much smarter than those quacks, but why do you think I will definitely cooperate with you?"

Nangong Biluo poured the wine, "This is Zhang Shicheng's treasure. From what I've seen, Mr. Zhang Shicheng is well-informed, rich and powerful, and he has a lot of money. He didn't hesitate to call the heroes of the world to hunt for the treasure together. It can be seen that the value of the treasure is far beyond imagination. There are no more than two places where people are different, one is the imperial court and the other is Jianghu. It is a pity that Mr. also knows that the wild people in the Jianghu are unruly and hard to control, and they cannot alarm the government, so they bother and work hard from the hero post. Mr. took the initiative to show up and invite me to the imperial court The people from the rivers and lakes here are not just here to test, I offer to help, how can I refuse?"

Tang Huairen lost his smile and remained silent, as if he was considering the authenticity of Nangong Biluo's words.

Nangong Biluo drank the wine he just poured, played with the white jade cup in his hand, and looked at Tang Huairen, "According to the ancient medicine scriptures, Tianmendong always blooms in four seasons regardless of the changes of the physical environment, and it has great medicinal value. The medicine king Sun Simiao also said Take it for a long time to prolong your body, teeth fall out and grow back, whitening and blackening, you can rejuvenate your old age, drink it with wine, it will naturally nourish and nourish the body, it is a great tonic. But—”

With a bang, the jade cup in Nangong Biluo's hand was suddenly crushed by her, and the white jade powder fell from her fingertips, "Pair it with this Yizhou white Gu jade, and it will become poisonous. Being well-informed is not just a sentence." Polite words. Knowing that I can't do it, my sincerity has already been placed in front of my husband, so do you still doubt it?"

Tang Huairen smiled instead of anger when he was exposed for his poisoning tricks, "Haha, Nangong Biluo is really courageous. I don't want to hide it from you, I am sure to get Zhang Shicheng's treasure, I will not give it to the imperial court, let alone people from Jianghu. You can really help me get the treasure, don't say [-]%, it doesn't matter if you share it equally."

Nangong Biluo frowned, "It seems that this treasure is really huge, and it will be enough for Mr. to get half of it."

"I won't hide it from you. The treasures not only contain the wealth of an invincible country, but also legends that have not been deciphered until now. Although the Yuan Dynasty lasted only 98 years, its territory was unprecedentedly large. It inherited the developed economy of the Song Dynasty. Needless to say wealth, there is also the blending of different countries under the tread of iron hooves. Although the powerful Mongolian Empire has fallen, the rumors about it have not ended. Among them is the mystery of the Yuan Dynasty imperial tomb, Zhang Shicheng is rich, Shen Wansan is rich , but it can really be called a worry-free treasure for thousands of years. Apart from Qin Shihuang, only Genghis Khan can compare with it. Money, I have enough. What I want is to crack the unknown and explore things that are more valuable than money. It's like someone looking for Qin Shihuang's tomb and not looking at gold and silver treasures, but only looking at the ethereal elixir of life. Only after confirming it with your own eyes can you tell whether something really exists." The wrinkles on Tang Huairen's face were tense and ferocious with a strange force , a hint of madness flashed in the weird blue eyes.

"If there are no gods and Buddhas, how can there be gods and Buddhas? If there are gods and Buddhas, how can there be gods and Buddhas? Astronomy is easy to learn, what is the reason?"

His person is like a decaying big cockscomb, gradually withering over the years, draining the blood from his body, but his eyes seem to be filled with turbulent waves, rolling with a soul that barks its teeth and claws.

The old man in his dying years actually made Nangong Biluo feel chills in his heart.

But she still kept a fox-like smile, "Is it involved in the secret collection of the Yuan Dynasty? That's really worth crazy. But I don't want to be too greedy, and I said that I only need [-]% of the two achievements. The rest, buy it from Mr. Is Situ Lingxiao and I two lives enough?"

Tang Huairen had already calmed down, and after hearing Nangong Biluo's words, he finally had the unfathomable expression that a former Qin Tianjian Zheng and an old man who discovered Tianji should have. "Those who know the current affairs, of course you can. And—although your Yintang contains vermilion, and your life is often accompanied by blood, but your eyes are full of heaven and earth, and you can always turn danger into safety. You live in the heavenly region of Niu, and your life will be pure and prosperous. You are destined to continue disasters and catastrophes, but the catastrophe of life and death in your destiny is not at this time."

The theory of commandment sounds more like a sham, Nangong Biluo is very calm, compared with the fate of fate, she believes that man will conquer the sky, and everything depends on man's efforts.

At this moment, Situ Lingxiao's footsteps sounded outside the house, and Yi Wu came back with Situ Lingxiao, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand, with a very happy expression on his face, and Nangong Biluo's expression softened a lot.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, sir. I think it's time for the two of us to say goodbye." Nangong Biluo got up, and Situ Lingxiao had no objection, but repeated his thanks.

Tang Huairen did not try to hold back, "Don't be too polite, both of you, we had a very happy conversation today, and I hope that both of you will get your wish, please go ahead."

Yi Wu stood at the door and prepared to lead the way. After Nangong Biluo and the two clasped their fists together, they walked out the door, but Tang Huairen's voice came from behind: "Nangong, I look forward to the performance of the two of you at the hero meeting."

Nangong Biluo just turned her head and smiled, then left.

After they left, Tang Huairen turned the armrest of the wheelchair, all the glazed lamps in the room were extinguished, and it was gloomy like an ice cellar.

The two of Nangong Biluo left the gate of Tang Huairen's mansion, and after bidding farewell to Yi Wu, they hurriedly left the range of the villa. Nangong Biluo walked faster and faster, and Situ Lingxiao almost trotted to keep up.After being far away from the villa, Nangong Biluo immediately stopped by the tree and vomited wildly. He vomited out all the food and drink that he had eaten today, and did not stop until he could only vomit clear water.

Situ Lingxiao was so frightened that his face turned pale. Before he could inquire, Nangong Biluo came to him and tapped him a few times. The wooden box in his hand fell to the ground, and he also went to the side to vomit. When I woke up, it wasn't as exaggerated as Nangong Biluo, but it wasn't very comfortable either.

After vomiting, Nangong Biluo handed him a few pills, "Take this, don't talk nonsense, leave before we talk."

Some of the fallen scrolls were scattered beside the wooden box, and the sandalwood wooden box exuded a faint fragrance. Nangong Biluo squatted down to pick up the scrolls for Situ Lingxiao.When she touched the scroll, the smell of sandalwood made her complexion change and her movements faltered. Then she neatly packed the book box, and left the woods with Situ Lingxiao quickly.

After the two of them left, a black shadow flashed through the woods.

The villa, where Tang Huairen is.

When Yi Wu returned to the house, the leftovers in the house had been removed and it was pitch black.

Tang Huairen sat in the shadow, one color with the darkness, only the eyes of the beast on the armrest of the wheelchair were red like blood.

Yi Wu lowered his head, not looking at Tang Huairen's shadow, "As master expected, she made her vomit shortly after going out, and the Tiandong poison is useless to her."

"Just made you vomit?" Tang Huairen's voice could not hear anything unusual.

"Yes."

"That's all right, stay smart and continue to watch them, and the rest should withdraw, don't worry about the other groups of people following them, now go to prepare for the hero meeting, the time is coming."

"Yes." Yi Wu stepped back and closed the door for Tang Huairen.

"Nangong Biluo. Although I don't want your life, you can't blame me if you send it to the door yourself, alas~"

With the sound of the rolling wheels of the wheelchair in the room, Tang Huairen passed the curtain and disappeared into the deeper darkness.
