Chapter 497: The Conference of the King of Thieves (9)
Zeng Nengxian and the Madman Gang followed Bao Zheng and others to the Yunmeng County Ya, escorting the unconscious Ji Xiaofeng, and trying to see if they could get the information from Ji Xiaofeng's mouth first!
I don't know who did it, Ji Xiaofeng is still in a coma, and the Crazy Gang is not polite, naturally they have tried all means, and they are sure that Ji Xiaofeng is really asleep and not pretending to be unconscious!
After a long conversation with Zeng Nengming and others, Bao Zheng knew how chaotic the entire Sui State was at present.
The orthodox Tang State "Northern Tang" led by Li Shimin and the rebellious Tang State "Southern Tang" led by Li Jiancheng finally officially started the war, because the "Jade Seal of the Kingdom" in the Northern Tang Palace was inexplicably stolen, Li Shimin suspected that Li Jiancheng sent someone to do it with the support of the Demon Gate, and the two fought each other, and finally went to war brazenly, but the current battle situation is stalemate, and the Northern Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, but the Southern Tang Dynasty has the support of the Sui State behind it; It seems that it is difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time!
However, according to the rumors, it seems that this incident is actually caused by a thief who intends to participate in the "King of Thieves Conference......
On the other hand, the Qing Kingdom also set off a lot of turmoil because of the continuous theft of the forty-two chapters of the secret of the dragon vein!
On the prairie, there are also turmoil, basically caused by a certain thief, and the reputation of the "King of Thieves Conference" has gradually spread, and the flow of people with various purposes is coming towards the Tongfu Inn here in Yunmeng City!
All in all, a "grand event" is being staged in Yunmeng City at the junction of Jing, Yang, Xu and other states controlled by the Great Sui Empire, one after another, and many famous thieves who are rarely seen on weekdays have appeared near Yunmeng City.
It is said that the five rats "drill the sky rat" Lu Fang, the "gopher" Han Zhang, the "pangolin mouse" Xu Qing, the "river rat" Jiang Ping, and the "brocade rat" Bai Yutang appeared in Pengcheng not long ago!
"Swallow" Li San appeared in Kaifeng City a few days ago; Shi Qian and Bai Sheng in Liangshan Heroes appeared together in Xiangyang some time ago!
It is said that the seven enlightenment teachers of the "Northern Hero" Guo Jing have come out of Peach Blossom Island!
Not only did the thieves join in the fun, but there was also a lot of noise about their peers, the tomb robbers!
It is said that Cao Mengde, the ancestor of the tomb robbers who was released from the prison of the Han Kingdom by the Sui people, is coming towards Yunmeng with his retainers!
There are also Fan Liangji, Sikong Xingxing, Xiao Shiyi Lang and other big thieves have all appeared one by one, and some people have seen a big ship going up the river, and some people have seen the "thief" on the shore!
Needless to say, this is all caused by the "King of Thieves Conference......
Of course, with these thieves comes trouble, and big trouble; These big thieves, I don't know how many treasures and magic cheats they have stolen, and there are not one or two underworld thieves who are chasing them behind their backs or preparing to eat black!
Therefore, although the Tang, Qing, and Yuan kingdoms were happy, the Great Sui Empire was also unstable...... Several major cities have been frequently stolen, and gangs, families, and sects in various places have lost countless treasures.
If that's all it takes, who would have thought that among the lost items, there would be a Tang family's overlord spear head, the wine recipe of the Qingxi Liuquan of the Nujiao Gang, a holy fire order from the Ming Sect, a round of the Golden Wheel of the Tantric Dharma Protector Dharma King, and so on!
I don't know how much the treasure of the gods, the secret spectrum, etc. have been stolen, and that's it, the most powerful thing is that it is said that the Wudang faction Sanfeng patriarch handwritten a "Taijiquan book", a Sanskrit version of the "Yijin Sutra" in the Shaolin secret collection, and now the head of the Songshan faction, Lin Ping's family, passed on the "evil sword spectrum" and so on!
In fact, there are not many masters who are really looking for those divine weapons or secret scores, but these martial arts cheats have attracted a large number of masters to come towards Yunmeng City!
The reputation of the "King of Thieves Conference" is spreading more and more widely, and it is no secret in the rivers and lakes!
It is said that the "King of Thieves Conference" is held in a secret realm, and the key to enter the secret realm is an official seal, and the ranking of the first round of the conference is also judged according to the official seal in the hand!
When Bao Zheng heard this, his face immediately changed, and he quickly found his official seal, and breathed a sigh of relief!
"Don't worry, Lord Bao, not many people have rushed here now, and everyone who came here must have already brought the baby, so they won't take a fancy to your seal!"
The poisonous tongue that can be mixed is also very sharp!
After learning the reality, Bao Zheng was a little depressed and found that Yunmeng City had become a storm again.
The various thieves gathered, and the security of this Cloud Dream City would definitely drop a lot at that time, which couldn't help but make him not worried!
The most important thing is that the chaos caused by this makes him worry, I don't know which careerist set off such a situation, and what waves will it set off in this small Cloud Dream City?
What Bao Zheng longs for most at this time is those "little friends" at the beginning, Zhanzhao and Gongsun Ce, without them, the news on the rivers and lakes will be completely black, and by the time the news reaches his ears, it will be outdated or rotten streets!
However, there is still no news of his "little friends", which can't help but make Bao Zheng worried!
It's been so long, it is said that a few people should be able to escape from danger, unless a few people are trapped, otherwise they will not come to find themselves!
Without these friends, Bao Zheng can only recruit martial arts people to maintain law and order to find out the news, and let people wait at the city gate to report who has entered the city at any time!
It is said that this is actually not very useful, the people on the rivers and lakes are basically high and high, as long as there is a wall, they will only jump over the wall and will not go out of the door, and they can enter and exit from the city gate, only those white road heroes!
And these heroes are actually Bao Zheng's purpose, and they are also what he considers to be potential allies!
……
The most dramatic thing and what made Bao Zheng feel the most fortunate was that the first one to come to Yunmeng City was neither the legendary first place to pick up stars, nor the ancestor of the legendary thief sect "Empty Gate", of course, not other thieves and thieves, but a legendary figure that surprised everyone,、、—— "Thief Sect" Mao Sui!
When he heard the soldiers at the city gate report that this great master was coming to Yunmeng City, Bao Zheng was a little dumbfounded, but Mao Sui didn't come to join in the fun, there is no doubt about it...... Of course, he didn't come to see the fun!
The identity of the "thief sect" Mao Sui can be compared to some sages and sages in some aspects, although the thief is not as famous as the assassin, but there are also many artists, after Mao Sui became the grandmaster, naturally his status has also changed, not only the door of the plain king, but also the ancestor of a certain industry!
As a "thief sect", of course, he was not so bored that he came to have fun with his group of nominal disciples, in fact, he only came here today to visit Sima Qian!
This so-called "King of Thieves Conference" has stirred up the city on the land of the Central Plains, set off a huge wave, and at the same time forced the "thief" to a very embarrassing and even dangerous situation.
In this case, as the founder of the nominal "thief", Mao Sui also had to come forward to personally inquire about this matter!
Even if it is the nominal grandfather, but he has to take on this responsibility, and even he has ambitions, Tai Shi Gong once wrote "Historical Records", which once wrote "The Biography of the Assassins" and "The Biography of the Goods and Colonies" once wrote merchants and assassins, and he also wanted to list the biography of it, wouldn't "The Biography of the Thieves" be beautiful?
The meeting between "Thief Sect" Mao Sui and "Shi Zu" Sima Qian was very simple, the location was in the best inn in Yunmeng City, "Tongfu Inn", there were only three people present, and this third person was of course Bao Zheng, the county commander of Yunmeng City, speaking of which, Bao Zheng still got Mao Sui's invitation to stay aside to accompany him!
Therefore, no one knows what the "thief" and "Shi Zu" said in this meeting, and according to Bao Zheng's later accidental disclosure, "thief zong" and "Shi Zu" actually said a few words in total...... The rest of the words are Bao Zheng's round talk!
"...... I steal from home?"
A few words, so naturally Mao Sui's plan seems to have failed, but it doesn't seem to be completely ineffective, but what happened in it, how the two of them talked, and what those two or three sentences were, not many people knew!
At least now, theft is still a contemptible and lowly industry, no way, there is no literati to open their eyes for them, or there is no big V to stand for them, and there are actually not many big V people in the world who can have such ability!
Sima Qian is one of the most powerful people among them, and the Confucian sects will not speak for them, according to relevant information, Mao Sui once reached a deal with Taishi Gong through Bao Zheng, the county commander of Yunmeng City!
As for what this deal is about, few people know!
Not long after, another letter came to say that a celebrity had arrived, and a man with a beard and a beard had entered the city, and this man was accompanied by many slaves, and he went straight to the inn!
The post station is not something that ordinary people can live in, only the relevant people of the dynasty, that is, officials or relatives of officials, can live in!
This man is naturally qualified, and he has the nickname "Bearded Guest"!
Bearded guest, he is just himself, but he is also one of the famous groups on the rivers and lakes "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust", his real name is Zhang Zhongjian!
It is said that he was the son of Zhang Jiling, the richest man in Yangzhou, and he was born with a beard, and his father wanted to kill him because he was ugly, but he was saved by a stranger. Interested in Hongfu, after learning that Hongfu married Li Jing, the three became brothers and sisters, and the bearded guest donated all the family property to Li Jing and his wife to help Li Shimin unify the world, and left gloomily.
Later, he became the lord of the Fuyu country, and Xue Rengui made an appearance when he was in the east.
Of course, this is his original legend; In this game, he has a different background!
In the copy of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", he had no chance to rebel, or he didn't have the courage to rebel, and he met the empress Wei Ling the world, and the protagonist Li Shimin was killed, not to mention his supporting role!
Because of some fame and ability, coupled with the empress's unification of the four seas, he just wanted to sail the four seas, but it was impossible, so he could only bow his head and accept his fate, obediently became a courtier of the Great Sui, initially served in Jinyiwei, and later moved to the six doors under the Dali Temple, and now he is the chief arrest of the six doors! It is one of the "giants" on the rivers and lakes!
He is naturally qualified to live in the inn, and even in the upper room where he can live in the station!
However, this person, Bao Zheng didn't visit, it's not that he didn't want to hug his thighs, but this person was actually one of Song Ci's top bosses, and Bao Zheng wouldn't be bored with himself!
After the trustee sent the gift of the post, he no longer paid attention to this person, just waiting for the next celebrity to arrive!
The six doors of the Great Sui Kingdom have been arrested, and there are suddenly a lot of diligent catches patrolling back and forth on the street, and several supernumerary people from the Tongfu Inn have been lingering near the Tongfu Inn all the time!
For example, Yan Xiaoliu, such as Xing Yusen, such as Zhu Wushuang!
At dusk, another letter came, telling Bao Zheng that a very, very large ship had come to the dock!
Suddenly hearing the news, Bao Zheng was very disapproving, and felt that these letters were really a bit too fuss - a "big" ship, no matter how big it can be, can it be as big as the giant ship of the Sui Navy Division that went up the river from the sea?
But when Bao Zheng came to the dock by chance not long after, he finally realized what he had missed!
There was indeed a huge ship on the dock, a huge ship in the truest sense of the word...... How "huge" is it?
The main battleship of the Sui Navy Division is the "Five-Tooth Giant Ship", of course, this is just an ordinary Navy ship, but such a huge ship is already huge!
It is more than 100 feet high, six shooting rods are set up on the left and right, and the height of 50 feet can accommodate 900 soldiers, with a total length of more than 300 feet, which can be called huge!
And this ship on the dock is even larger than the main ship of the Great Sui Naval Division, and it is comparable to the "treasure ship" of the Great Sui Navy!
Sitting on such a huge ship suddenly appeared, so proud, so magnificent, who would be the one......
The purple clothes of the East China Sea, and the Huang Yaoshi of Peach Blossom Island all have ships of this scale!
Wenjun has a white jade beauty, carved with wonderful hands, extremely beautiful, and yearning for it.
Tonight, when the moon comes to fetch it, Jun Su Yada will not make me go back and forth in vain!
There was once a pale blue note, carrying the faint fragrance of tulips that have not been stained with dust for thousands of years from ancient times to the present, gently stretching in the depths of our memories.
What we can never forget is that unprovoked, proud face, has always been here, in the intensity that our lives can bear.
The marshal among the robbers, the noble son in the wandering, the man in blue who is as ethereal as a floating cloud
- Xiao Li's flying knife is a perfect sound, and Chu Liuxiang is not seen in the world.
"Thief handsome" Chu Liuxiang!
Bao Zheng didn't know what he had missed, and someone else went to pick up this famous "thief" who came from afar!
What is eye-catching is the seal on his waist, the dragon seal, which is obviously a seal that can only be used by emperors!
A erratic figure suddenly appeared on the dock, and everyone who saw it thought it was dazzled, this person quickly drifted to float behind Chu Liuxiang!
