World of Chessboard

The most chaotic place in the world is called Jianghu. In the martial world, there were arrogant swordsmen, brave chivalrous warriors, lonely prodigal sons, and extremely beautiful women. In the martial arts world, there was the fastest horse, the strongest wine, and the fastest sabre. There were also the most poisonous Gu, the strongest sects, the most evil places, and the most famous dead. There were lists in the martial arts world, recording the "strongest" of all. There were legends about love and hate, about drinking and talking, about swords and sabers. A person, after a lifetime and conflict, would become a martial arts world.

The deepest place in the world was called the Imperial Court. Compared to the martial arts world … There was indeed nothing to tell. If he had to say it, the imperial court was just a pool of seemingly calm, but in reality, it was a pool of surging muddy water. Inside the imperial court was a mess of fish and dragons, and all schemes were hidden in an invisible fog.

When the martial arts world overlapped with the imperial court, that was a story that could not be told.

Next, let's first talk about a place — the Manchu manor.

It was obvious that this was the house of a duke, and a rather odd one at that.

This famous family not only had the title of marquis, but also a treasure that tens of thousands of people coveted, as well as the most beautiful woman in the world. However, such a place hadn't been stolen in decades. Without a doubt, it was due to those mechanisms.

But today, the usually peaceful manor entrance of the marquis was bustling with noise and excitement. The reason was simple. It had been stolen.

"He escaped again." The speaker was over his age, his brows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was dressed in a red, wide-sleeved cloud robe, and had a slender sword on his waist. The ten fingers were slender and strong, the nails were neatly trimmed, and there was a hard cocoon made by riding the sword in the palm of his hand. His clothes and boots had some mud stains on them, but there was less mud stains on the bottom of his boots. Apparently he had come all the way here at a fast speed. His sword-like eyebrows creased slightly, but there was no additional emotion on his face. He was calm and composed.

The marquis sized him up without batting an eyelid, then said with a smile, "Protector Xia, there is no need to be anxious. This cyan robed bandit is able to steal things from my heavily guarded mansion, he is quite a capable person. It was this marquis' carelessness that caused you to worry. "

The young man's name was Xia Fanchen, and he was a top imperial bodyguard. Half a year ago, he had been ordered to hunt down "Green Robed Thieves." He looked down at the crumpled paper in his hands, his eyes flickering.

"I've heard that your manor collects a Warm Jade Coiling Dragon, Blood Jade Steps and a pair of precious treasures. He only dared to ask for a glimpse of what his heart desired. At a quarter to ten in the evening, the little thief would arrive. Congratulations to the duke on his birthday.

Xia Fan gritted his teeth, then turned around and asked, "Have you found the poems he gave us yet?"

"Since she has already left, so what if we find the poem?" A man in his fifties entered the hall and nodded to the Marquis of the Trojan Horse before taking a seat at the head of the table.

Xia Fan was surprised as he hurriedly got up and kneeled: "Your subordinate is incompetent. Please forgive me." The person in front of him was the most illustrious prince of today, with the title of 'Qi'.

The Qi King glanced at him, "You don't need to ask me for a favor, you just need to explain yourself to Thirteenth Brother. For a dignified imperial guard to be unable to capture a single bandit in half a year, it was truly disappointing. Give me a poem, get up and take a look. "

"Thank you, Prince." Xia Fan stood up and respectfully received it. He only took a glance before frowning.

"Following the wind and water, you will find it difficult to answer, and you will not be able to pick up the stars."

The temple of the Monarch of Sheep to the Tiger Mouth.

His words were like a sail, as he never felt embarrassed to pay his respects.

One by one, the sky turned bright and the sun shined like a thief.

For parents to be like a king is to have stolen property that surpasses the universe. "

Paper and ink were the most common inferior, but the handwriting was elegant and elegant. It was the work of the person who wrote the notice.

Qi Wang sneered, "The words are good, but the poem can barely rhyme. It's too short to distinguish between the lines, and it's a bunch of nonsense. There's nothing to see except the usual trick of pinching the head. "

The marquis walked up to Xia Fan and said with a smile, "Not bad, you really have a good writing skill." Taking advantage of the situation, there was no need to thank him. "Interesting."

Xia Fan, however, did not care about the comments. "Impossible! He will definitely provoke us!" He rushed to the window and chanted, "Following the wind, it's hard to answer, the stars, the ox and the woman, the sails, the clear sky and the bright sun, the universe …" His gaze moved swiftly in the night sky, his brows furrowed, and after a full two incense sticks of time of silence, he loudly said: "Following the wind with the water ceremony is difficult to answer, and that is to steal something downstream. Altair is in the northwest. If the so-called 'thief' referred to the time of theft, then the light of the blue sky and white day would still be left behind during the tenth day of the ninth century, and that was to the west. To the northwest and north is to the west and to the north. Tell them to head north and follow the current to find a boat with a sail. "

When the duke of Trojan Horse heard this, he laughed and said, "It's already night. The boats on the water are all pleasure boats, so how could that Cyan Robed Pirates be so stupid as to make themselves so obvious and write it all down in a poem? It might be an ordinary little poem, but aren't you being too nervous? "

"Your Lordship did not know," said Xia. "A month ago, the Qingyi Pirates had left a letter for me after they stole it from Liang Liang, saying that they would commit the crime again in Hangzhou. Since he has acted in such a way, he will definitely leave behind a notice. "

Xia Fan was silent for a moment before he asked, "I wonder if Your Highness still remembers the first time the Green Robed Pirates committed theft?"

Qi Wang was startled, "If we don't steal the Green Sky Pirates' pearls, then we won't steal clothes?"

Xia Fan nodded his head. "The first time he did the burglary, he stole a huge Night Pearl embedded in the top of the fortress at the Feixian Fortress' wedding banquet. Out of nearly one hundred people in the arena, no one actually found any traces of the Cyan Robed Pirates. On the other hand, in front of the Flying Immortal Castle hung the words' Flying Immortal Castle '. The golden signboard had been replaced with the words' No Stealing Sky Pearl, No Stealing Cloth, No Stealing '. Feng Zhuo had always compared the bright pearl in the castle to the light of the sun and moon. This saying was naturally meant to ridicule him. This is because these words contained the words' Green Robed, Thief '. It is because the name' Green Robed Thief 'is extremely popular in the martial arts world. "

The marquis smiled and said, "That is indeed the case. All the thieves were concealed by the dark night, so it was easy to get their hands on them when they weren't prepared. As for that pearl, it was around the size of a head. With a dazzling brilliance that could be seen from a hundred meters away, he actually stole it. Flying Immortal Castle is very strict, and is also the date of her wedding. It can steal pearls and exchange plaque; it can be said to be very powerful. "

Prince Qi said, "If he is truly alone, then his wits and wits must be very high."

Xia Fan said, "Your Highness is right. It was only half a year ago that the royal family had formally intervened in the theft of the general's estate. From the General's Estate and the Mansion of the Marquis of the Trojan Horse, to the ordinary store's escort office; to the time of two days where there were three crimes, to the time of not showing his face for several months. Ordinary gold, silver, and jewelry were casually thrown on the road, while precious calligraphy and paintings were nowhere to be seen. As far as I can tell, he's not only talented, but he has his own 'elegance', and he's not short of money. "One of them is a person who has gold, silver, and money but has nothing to offer, who has both the martial arts and the martial arts. He is bold, but is absolutely calm. It is really not easy to capture him."

Prince Qi smiled faintly, "I've seen for myself that even if I were to return empty-handed today, no one would blame you." He apologised for his attitude just now and said that he would not pursue the matter.

Xia Fan kneeled down, "Thank you for your generosity. Your subordinate will definitely spare no effort to capture that little thief in green."
