Chapter 118
"At first, I always thought that there must be everything in the capital, and there are countless tricks to play, but I didn't expect it to be less interesting than Jiangnan. This bets me big."

"You're still young, you lost again."

"Xiao Lu, you cheated! Why did you drive so many, all of them are Xiao Lu!"

There was a cold wind blowing outside the house, and the charcoal fire was warming up inside. Lu Hanjiang and Shang Luo sat facing each other on the small kang.

The location of Xiaoxian Garden is not far from Jinyiwei's position, and the terrain is on the high side. Lu Hanjiang can use binoculars to see the situation there at any time.

It's so boring to wait dryly, so Lu Hanjiang played with the equally boring Shang Luo. He wanted to call the other Shang Luo and her brother to play mahjong together, but unfortunately the two little ones always hid with him.

Helpless, he could only chat with Shang Luo while playing dice.

"No, let me do it this time! Big or small?"

Shang Luo snatched the dice cup and shook it by herself, and asked casually, "Xiao Lu, why did you come here tonight and still dress so formally?"

Lu Hanjiang freed his hand to grab a handful of melon seeds, and while cracking the ground vigorously, he said, "Of course wearing an official uniform is for business. I'm not the same as you. I'm very busy with errands, so I bet big."

"I'm too busy to sneak in here."

Shang Luo curled her lips, opened the dice cup to have a look, and laughed: "It's young, you lost."

"You have been sneaking around." Lu Hanjiang put down the melon seeds, patted the shells off his hands, took out a small gadget from his pocket, and handed it over: "Here, I brought it for you from the south."

"Gift."

Shang Luo's eyes lit up, she took the small wooden carving and fiddled with it: "What flower is this?"

"Wind chimes."

While talking, Lu Hanjiang picked up the binoculars on the table and looked out of the window, while not forgetting to stuff some melon seeds into his mouth, he said casually: "This time I went to the Southern Shaolin to burn incense, and I had a good chat with Abbot Lingkong. I have this."

"It was given by the monk."

Shang Luo seemed a little disgusted when she heard the words, but seeing the lifelike little wood carving, her expression became happy again: "This abbot is quite interesting, he likes to carve some flowers and plants, by the way, did you give me the money?"

"Needless to say, the incense money I gave will definitely guarantee that they will have nothing to worry about in their next life."

As he said that, Lu Hanjiang didn't find any movement on the other side of the position through the binoculars. He smacked his lips and said to himself: "Don't think too much about me."

"Thank you."

Shang Luo happily accepted the small wooden carving, then suddenly remembered something, and complained to Lu Hanjiang: "Xiao Lu, speaking of it, there is still something you need to help me with."

Lu Hanjiang put the binoculars aside and asked, "What's the matter?"

"My sword was confiscated by the guard at the south gate of the capital, please help me get it back." Shang Luo said pitifully.

"Small matter. Wait a minute, where did you get the sword?"

The words were smooth, but Lu Hanjiang realized that something was wrong when he thought about it. He looked at the girl in surprise and asked, "You started stealing again? You haven't been caught yet?"

"Bah bah bah, who stole something!"

Shang Luo stuck out her tongue vigorously, stared at Lu Hanjiang dissatisfiedly with her hands on her hips, and said, "This girl was bought with real money!"

Lu Hanjiang heaved a sigh of relief, and asked, "Where is the idea? Selling swords in the capital, no, where did you get the money?"

"It was given by the Fourth Highness."

Shang Luo wrung her fingers and said, "When I was still living at His Highness's place, the father-in-law who was in charge sent me a large bag of silver on the first day, saying it was for daily expenses. Xiao Lu, he is much more generous than you."

"My father is the emperor, what does my father do." Lu Hanjiang said angrily.

"That's right," Shang Luo nodded, and said, "Then I went to relax by the river that day, and met a strange man who said he was destined for me, and then he sold his sword to me for a penny."

"A penny?" Lu Hanjiang frowned, feeling wrong.

"One penny." Shang Luo nodded affirmatively.

"You won't be tricked, will you?" To be honest, if someone really came to trick him, Lu Hanjiang would feel at ease.

Shang Luo snorted disdainfully, and said: "Who dares to trick this girl, is it just a display to be a Jin Yiwei?"

"."

Very good, let her understand the identity of the hostage.

There are secret guards of Jin Yiwei near Xiaoxian Garden. Although Shang Luo seems to travel freely on weekdays, she is actually under Jin Yiwei's nose. There are only two possibilities for this sword seller to approach her without arousing Jin Yiwei's vigilance.

One is that this person is an unreasonable weirdo. Selling a sword for a penny is also a result of his personality. If he didn't do other extraordinary things, he would naturally not be noticed by Jin Yiwei.

The second thing is that this person's martial arts is so strong that he was able to avoid Jin Yiwei's eyeliner and deliver the sword to Shang Luo.

If it is the first case, Lu Hanjiang should watch the fun, if it is the second case, Shang Jidao or which Huashan elder has gone down the mountain?After thinking about it, it seemed that only they would do such a thing to Shang Luo for no reason.

Since the other party didn't make any further moves, their reaction naturally didn't need to be too big. It's just that this matter was weird inside and out, and Lu Hanjiang kept it in mind.

"I think that sword is quite beautiful, Xiao Lu, you must help me get it back." Shang Luo begged bitterly, thinking that the sword should indeed be not bad.

Lu Hanjiang nodded in response, and said helplessly: "You have too much heart, you dare to enter the city with a sword, if you don't have Jin Yiwei, you will feel better."

There are extremely strict weapons controls in the capital. In theory, there are only two types of people who can use weapons in the capital. One is the Jinyiwei, and the other is the imperial guards of the palace city. Both of them have one thing in common, that is, they do not belong to any The imperial court is under the jurisdiction of the department and directly obeys the emperor.

In addition, all long weapons, chariots, horses, luggage, etc. are all sealed up in the arsenal, and even the city gate order is at most only wearing short soldiers, and the remaining government servants in the city who patrol the streets can only use water and fire sticks.

As for individuals, if they don't have enough status, they don't even have the qualifications to report to the city defense department. Under such strict control, if they want to enter the capital with weapons openly, it's better to just say that they want to go to the prison.

"I didn't know there were so many rules in the city." Shang Luo pouted, aggrieved and authentic.

"All right, all right, I'll get the sword back for you."

Lu Hanjiang's words turned Shang Luo's expression from cloudy to clear immediately. It was just a matter of little effort for him, as long as it wasn't brought into the city, it would be easy to say.

While talking here, the light in the distance suddenly became erratic. Lu Hanjiang immediately picked up the binoculars and looked at it. Sure enough, thieves came to the door, and it was not Yin Zhixie who came, but a group of guys who had never met.

Was it really aimed at him?
Lu Hanjiang was amazed, when did he and Liang Zi from Xuantian Sect become so big, a group of small-bellied guys.

"There seems to be some movement." Shang Luo also noticed the changes outside, and she said, "Xiao Lu, do you want to go over?"

With a hum, Lu Hanjiang reluctantly got down from the kang, took the coat hanging on the shelf and put it on, and said to Shang Luo: "I'll finish it off, you stay here, don't move around."
