Origin

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. After hearing the dwarf's words, Wu Zhongyuan immediately thought of the Luanfeng Sword. The reason is very simple. There are gold slips hidden in the Luanfeng Sword, and after taking out the gold slips, the Luanfeng Sword can be restored.

One of the two dwarfs was in his forties and the other in his thirties. In his opinion, the dwarfs all looked similar, with short hands and short legs and big heads. The two dwarfs both wore hats on their heads, and the older one wore a A fox fur hat, while the one in his thirties wore a dog fur hat.

It was the fox-skin hat who spoke. The dog-skin hat took the mutton handed over by the store and gave the fox-skin hat a piece. "Brother, why don't we go in together?"

"I have to stay outside and watch out with you," said the fox fur hat.

Dogskin Hat looked around and saw that there was no one around. There was only a young man eating pancakes. He was also looking towards the prison with his feet raised. He thought that no one had noticed them. Dogskin Hat said to Foxskin Hat, "Brother, let's go together." Go in, if anything happens, there will be someone to take care of you."

"Why are you so worthless?" Fox Fur Hat raised his hand and slapped Dog Fur Hat.

The slap hit the left shoulder of the dog-skin hat, kicking up a cloud of dust.

At this moment, someone else came over to buy food. The two left the food stall and walked north, eating as they walked. While eating, the dog-skin hat was still mumbling, saying that he was not at ease, even though he felt that something was going to happen. thing.

The fox-skin hat had no choice but to agree to go in with him. The dog-skin hat then turned from worry to joy, holding the piece of mutton in both hands and chewing it.

After the two people walked over, Wu Zhongyuan turned around and looked at the two people from behind. There was a lot of dust on these two guys. Looking at their walking posture and eating movements, they looked very weird. They walked unsteadily. Akira, when eating, gnaws the mutton with his molars, and chews it very quickly. These two dwarfs are probably not humans, but two aliens who are good at digging holes.

After the people buying food left, Wu Zhongyuan walked to the food stall and asked the owner, "Brother, do those two dwarfs come here often to buy food?"

"Not often, I come occasionally." The shop owner replied.

"Why haven't you seen them before?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The shop owner said, "They are not from the cattle tribe, they are from outside."

"How long have you been here?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It's been seven or eight days," the shopkeeper said. Everything has a reason. The reason why he knew everything about Wu Zhongyuan was because Wu Zhongyuan was generous. A sheepskin waistcoat could be exchanged for twenty scones, but Wu Zhongyuan only wanted two.

Wu Zhongyuan thanked him, turned around and walked north.

"Hey, hey," the shopkeeper called him from behind. When Wu Zhongyuan turned around, he kindly reminded him, "They seem to know kung fu, so don't mess with them."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, turned around and walked towards the prison wall.

Knowing that the Jiuyin Wizard of the Bear Clan had been captured, everyone came to watch. Many people gathered outside the prison. At this time, trying to save people was like moths flying into the flames. Wu Zhongyuan had no intention of saving people. He approached the prison just to use help. The cover of the crowd moved north, secretly tracking the two dwarfs.

Now it's the mantis hunting the cicada. The two dwarfs are the cicadas and he is the mantis. But you have to be careful that there are also oriole behind. These two dwarfs are probably not acting alone, and they may have accomplices.

The basis for the judgment is that there are many people who know that the Luan Feng Sword is in Jiang Nan's hands, but not many people know that the Luan Feng Sword contains the gold slips. This time is not like modern times, with the Internet and mobile phones, and the news spreads slowly now, Wu Huan After learning the news, he immediately informed Wu Qin. Wu Qin and Wu Huan met four days ago, and by that time the two dwarfs had already arrived in Lianshan City.

In other words, these two dwarfs got the news even earlier than Wu Huan got the news. It was impossible for these two careless idiots who talked about secrets in the street to get the golden slip hidden in the psychic weapon at the first time. According to the news, they were probably sent and ordered by someone, and the person who ordered them might be hiding nearby.

There are also skills in tracking. You can't just follow behind stupidly, you have to blend into the crowd. Second, you can't stare directly at the target, you have to pretend to be unintentional. 3. You cannot show that you are not familiar with the people around you, and you have to say hello to passers-by from time to time.

Wu Zhongyuan greeted people from time to time, and most of the people he greeted responded to him. In fact, they did not know Wu Zhongyuan, but they were not sure whether they really didn't know him, or whether they knew him but had forgotten it.

The two dwarfs kept walking north, and then headed east after reaching the end of the street.

Wu Zhongyuan did not follow the same route, but walked a street to the west, walking from the west to the north. When he reached the north street and looked east, he saw that the two dwarfs were still walking east, and to the east was a small river. After they reached the end, they couldn't continue eastward and had to turn north.

So we continued going north and waited for them at the next street intersection.

In this way, we finally found the residence of these two dwarfs. There was a house at the foot of the mountain, which was filled with lower-class civilians. The two dwarfs lived in the house in the northeast corner.

There is a small river to the east and a mountain forest to the north. There is a stone building on the mountainside in the north. There are many trees around the building. The specific shape of the building cannot be seen. I can only vaguely see that the stone building is quite large. To the east of the residence The small river flows east of the stone building on the mountainside.

There were women washing clothes on both sides of the river, and there were several wooden houses along the river. A woman with wet hair came out of one of the houses. It seemed that those wooden houses were where residents took baths.

It's March now and you can't take a bath in room temperature water unless it's a hot spring. You don’t need to get close to test it with your hands, you can determine this just by looking at the green grass on both sides.

In this way, it is not difficult to guess where the building on the mountainside is. It should be a hot spring bath. Judging from the size of the stone building and its location, it is probably a place dedicated to bathing for nobles. .

The residence of the two dwarfs should be about a thousand meters away from the bathing pool on the mountainside in a straight line. Drilling a hole into the bathing pool is not something that can be done overnight. However, they have been here for seven or eight days and they should have dug a passage. The tunnel to the bathhouse.

It is no secret that Jiang Nan got the Luanfeng Sword. The best way to protect the Luanfeng Sword is to carry it with you. However, you can take the Luanfeng Sword with you when eating and sleeping, but you cannot take it with you when bathing. These two dwarfs must have wanted to take advantage of Jiang Nan's bathing. At that time, he sneaked into the bathroom and stole the gold slips inside the Luanfeng Sword.

As for why the two did not directly steal the Luanfeng Sword but only stole the gold slips inside, there are many possibilities. The most likely reason is that they were worried that after stealing the Luanfeng Sword, Lianshan City would close the city and search the whole city, and they would not be able to escape intact. .

Even if he guessed what the two dwarfs wanted to do, he couldn't do anything because he was a warrior of the bear tribe and had sneaked in. Not to mention that he didn't know where Jiang Nan lived, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to inform her.

It's definitely not possible to sit back and watch. If they really steal the gold slips in Luanfeng Sword, Luanfeng Sword will no longer be a psychic weapon that can replenish spiritual energy.

Try to notify other warriors in the city to come and arrest him? If not, how can I be notified? Notification in what way? No matter what method of notification is used, the Niu Clan will think that someone is deliberately making an attack, and will take the lead in closely guarding Wu Di.

To take a step back, even if the Niu Clan did not become suspicious and sent people to arrest them, it would be fine if they were caught. But if they escaped, wouldn't it mean that the whole city would be under martial law? How would I be able to save people then? How to escape?

Take action yourself and capture them? No, he left the bow and arrow outside the city. He was not sure about fighting the opponent in close combat. Even if he had the bow and arrow in his hand, he had no chance to use it because the two of them were hiding in the house and he had no chance to use the bow and arrow.

After thinking hard for a long time, I felt that the only feasible way was to sneak into the bath to steal the sword while the two of them were there, and block the tunnel so that they could not return the way they came.

And if they want to block it, they can only block the exit near the bath. Blocking the entrance in the residence has no effect. The two of them can dig holes from other places.

Thinking of this, he returned to the west intersection and sat down. From here, he couldn't see the bathhouse on the mountainside, but he could see the road leading to the bathhouse. If someone went to the bathhouse, he could see it.

If Jiang Nan really went to the bathhouse, the two dwarfs would sneak in and steal. After Jiang Nan went to the bathhouse, there was no one in the residence, so he could take action by then.

Not long after we sat down, we found a group of women coming down the steps from the top of the mountain. Like the Bear Clan, the royal family of the Ox Clan all lived high up in the city.

There were seven or eight women who came down from the mountain. They were all wearing royal clothes. When they were a little closer, Wu Zhongyuan could clearly see the appearance of those women. They were all beautiful women. The older one should be the queen's wife. , the younger ones may be princesses and nobles, Jiang Nan is also among them.

Jiang Nan is holding a sword in her hand, which should be the Luanfeng Sword. The reason why I say it should be because the Luanfeng Sword itself does not have a scabbard, but the long sword in Jiang Nan's hand does have a scabbard. She must have obtained the Luanfeng Sword. The sword was then measured and prepared.

In addition to the long sword, Jiang Nan also carried a small basket in his hand, which should contain a change of clothes and bathing supplies.

Jiang Nan is wearing the clothes of a nobleman this time. She is beautiful, delicate, graceful and luxurious. It is completely different from the capable and valiant person when she is wearing the clothes of a warrior.

After Jiang Nan and others disappeared into the bathing pool on the mountainside, Wu Zhongyuan got up and headed east, coming to the house where the two dwarfs were. He listened carefully, but didn't hear anyone speaking. He threw another stone in, and the people in the house also no response.

Turning around, looking north and south, making sure no one was there, climbed over the wall and entered.

There is not much soil in the yard, but there is a hole leading to the east. To the east of the house is the river. This tunnel must be where the two of them process the soil. They directly send the excavated soil to the river at night when no one is around. Washed away by the current.

The two of them were not in the house, but their clothes were left behind. This showed that the two of them were indeed aliens. At this time, they had revealed their true colors and entered the tunnel.

The entrance of the tunnel was about five feet wide, wider than he expected, and it ran diagonally upward. With the tunnel's trend, if a fire was lit from the entrance, the smoke would go upward.

But looking around, there was nothing to make a fire, and no firewood to burn.

At this time, Jiang Nan had already entered the bathhouse for a long time, so he couldn't delay any longer. He had to go in quickly and stop it, but he couldn't let these two dwarfs steal the golden slip in the Luanfeng Sword.

Thinking of this, I seemed to feel that something was wrong. It seemed that I was eager to stop it, not just because I was worried that the dwarf would steal the gold slips, but there seemed to be something else.

After thinking about it carefully, it became clear, and I didn't want the dwarf to peek at Jiang Nan taking a shower.

He only had a dagger on him, which was not very useful. After looking around, he grabbed a dung fork from the corner and crawled into the tunnel...
