Madam, protect me!

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Li Nuo and Li Anning behaved exactly like a normal couple except for not sleeping in the same bed.

We go out to buy groceries together, cook together, go shopping together, do housework together, make dumplings together... and shake the bed together at night.

There is nothing that a real lady has never experienced before, and she, a fake lady, has not missed anything.

When he got up in the morning and was still not quite awake, he couldn't even tell who was real and who was fake.

After all, if we judge from daily behavior, it is difficult to say who is true and who is false.

Today is the third day that the two of them officially pretended to be husband and wife. They had just had dinner. Li Anning held Li Nuo's arm and rested her head lightly on his shoulder, walking slowly on the streets of Chang'an.

After three days of running-in, the two of them were no longer as raw as they were on the first day.

Everything is extremely natural, just like a real newlywed couple, still in the stage of incomparable love and affection.

When passing by a middle-aged couple, the woman looked at her husband who was walking in front and was busy on his way. Then she looked at the young couple who were extremely close. She couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched her husband hard. He shouted angrily: "Look at me!"

His husband rubbed his arms, looking confused.

Li Anning glanced back and saw the woman kicking and beating the poor man. A smile appeared on his face. He turned back and asked: "In ten or twenty years, will we also change?" Like that?”

Li Nuo glanced at her. She hadn't rehearsed this sentence before?

Could it be that she got too involved in the drama and acted on her own?

I have to say, this sentence works very well.

Women are really knowledgeable about these things.

Li Nuo smiled and said: "Of course, in ten or twenty years, we will be an old married couple, hugging each other in public, and not afraid of others laughing..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his arms relaxed, and the full feeling of oppression was gone.

Li Anning put her hands on her hips and stomped her feet dissatisfied. Her chest trembled and shook, and she snorted: "You men are all like this. It's still fresh now, but after a long time, you will get tired of it and ignore you!"

After saying that, she walked angrily in the direction she came from.

Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught up with him.

"Madam, wait for me!"

"I was wrong, let alone ten or twenty years, even if it is another hundred or a thousand years, you will still be my favorite!"

"Huh, can I just say it's wrong?"

"My wife will do whatever she says, and I am willing to go through fire and water for my wife!"

"Hmph, I won't let you go through fire and water, so I'll punish you by carrying me back..."

…

Not far away, watching the couple's figures drifting away under the setting sun, a middle-aged man leaned against the street wall with a smile on his face.

The yellow-faced woman in the family was also so lively and lovable more than ten years ago.

No matter how you look at it, this is a newlywed and loving couple.

Seeing this couple, he couldn't help but recall some of the good times that had passed away in him.

If there was any problem with them, he would no longer believe in true love in the world.

He got into a carriage on the street and soon arrived at a mansion.

In a room in the mansion, a middle-aged man looked at him and asked, "How is it?"

The man said: "After these few days of observation, my subordinates have not found any problems with Mr. and Mrs. Song. As the neighbors said, the relationship between them is very good. They have to do things as a couple every night, and they are tired of spending time together during the day." At the same time, he spent all the money he had stolen in the past few days on his wife.

According to his neighbors, Song Shouzuo did take in an old man in the winter a few years ago, and his stealing skills should have been taught by the old man, which is consistent with what he and Zhao Wu said..."

Chief Wu nodded slightly.

In fact, the investigation into Chief Song was just a routine matter.

The leader is not a steward, nor is he an ordinary disciple.

If a disciple is caught, at most one small stronghold will be lost.

If a steward is arrested, the worst possible outcome is the loss of several strongholds and a dozen disciples.

But if something went wrong in the first building, at least four stewards and dozens of disciples would be lost.

This is still the lightest consequence. The first one is already a senior member of the gang, and they often discuss matters together.

If there is a problem with one leader, it is likely to affect several leaders.

This time, all the leaders, protectors, and even envoys will be present at the Thief Gate Conference, so they cannot be careless.

He looked at the sky outside, stood up slowly, and said, "It's almost time..."

…

Li Nuo carried Li Anning home and felt relieved when he put her down.

Fortunately, he exercised regularly during this period and his physical fitness improved a lot, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to carry her.

She is about the same height as Madam, but much heavier than Madam.

Li Anning stood in the yard and adjusted the clothes on her chest.

In order to solve this major case, Her Royal Highness the Princess also made huge sacrifices.

In comparison, Li Nuo just slept on the ground for a few days, which was nothing.

One is a married man, and the other is an innocent woman who has not yet left the court. It is actually inappropriate for them to share food and sleep in the same room for three days and three nights.

But being an undercover agent is so easy, you will inevitably have to make some sacrifices in the process.

Both of them are legal practitioners, and both Li Nuo and Li Anning have this awareness.

It's getting dark.

At a certain moment, there was a knock on the door outside the hospital.

Li Nuo walked to the door, opened it, and saw the middle-aged man standing outside the courtyard. He was surprised and asked, "Master Wu, how did you find this place?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Although Master Song is an outstanding thief, his vigilance is too weak. He didn't know he was followed. But don't worry, I will arrange someone to teach you these things in the future..."

After a joke, he spoke again, "Tonight is the thief meeting held every six months. It involves the redivision of the master's jurisdiction. All masters must participate. I am here to pick up Master Song..."

Li Nuo said, "Then let's go now!"

Master Wu smiled and asked, "Will you invite me in for a cup of tea?"

Li Nuo quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Master Wu, please..."

Master Wu stepped into the courtyard and glanced around the courtyard unintentionally.

Li Nuo invited Wu Shouzu into the main hall and said, "Madam, pour tea for Wu Shouzu."

After that, he smiled at Wu Shouzu embarrassedly and said, "There is no good tea at home. I am sorry to make you laugh."

Wu Shouzu didn't say anything. He looked around the room. When he took the teacup, he glanced at Li Anning's hand and said, "Song Shouzu must be very fond of Madam. Madam Song's hands are so smooth and delicate. She should rarely work on weekdays..."

Li Nuo held Li Anning's hand and said with a smile, "Madam, you have suffered by marrying me. How can I bear to let her continue to suffer? I usually do all the housework..."

Compared to Li Anning's white and smooth hands, Li Nuo has some calluses on his hands because of his frequent practice of riding and shooting.

Wu Shouzuo did not doubt anything. He glanced at the couple and smiled, "The relationship between Song Shouzuo and his wife is so good that people envy them."

He scanned the house again and found nothing unusual. He stood up slowly and said, "It's getting late, Song Shouzuo, let's go..."

After the last verification, he really trusted the new Shouzuo.

The two walked out of the courtyard gate, and a carriage stopped there.

Li Nuo stood in front of the carriage, looked back at Li Anning, and said, "My wife, you stay at home and wait for me to come back. If it's too late, you can go to bed first. You don't need to leave the door for me. I will climb over the wall by myself..."

Li Anning leaned against the door and said, "No matter how late it is, I will wait for you."

The carriage started slowly.

Li Anning walked out of the door and watched the carriage go away and disappear at the next street corner.

After a long time, she clapped her hands gently.

Squeak!

After a series of sounds, the courtyard doors of the houses on both sides of the street opened one after another.

Countless figures walked out from behind the door.

Li Anning took the wooden compass from someone, and a needle on the compass was slowly rotating...

...

"There are 108 wards in Chang'an, and the 12 wards close to the imperial city are inhabited by dignitaries and nobles. They are forbidden areas for our thieves. Every household is heavily guarded. If you are caught stealing there, you may lose your life."

"The remaining 96 wards are divided into upper, middle and lower wards according to the degree of wealth. There are 16 chiefs in the thieves' door. Each chief is responsible for two upper wards, two middle wards and two lower wards."

"The chief's jurisdiction is not fixed. It will be rotated every six months and decided by drawing lots. If you are lucky and draw the top upper ward, you will make a lot of money. In half a year, Chief Song can change a big house."

"Each chief has four managers under his command, who are responsible for managing the lower-level sect members..."

On a carriage, Chief Wu was telling Li Nuo some basic information that he should know as a chief.

These things should actually be told to him when he became the chief.

But at that time, he had not yet gained full trust.

After a few days of rigorous investigation and surveillance, he completely trusted the new leader.

To become the leader of the Thief Sect, one must go through a lot of screening. Leader Song took the position of the leader by relying on his own strength.

If he had any problems, he would have started planning several years ago.

And the person behind the planning needs to find a genius in thieves, train him for at least four hours a day, and use several years to make him a master of the Thief Sect, so that he can be discovered by the Thief Sect one day and break into the Thief Sect...

But what is the reason for doing this?

Wait until the Thief Sect Conference to catch all the high-level members of the Thief Sect?

Only the government has a reason to do this.

But those officials will not be so bored.

For dignitaries, the Thief Sect has always kept a distance from them.

If there is really an official who is so bored, he will admit it.

After an unknown period of time, the carriage stopped at a street corner.

The two got off the carriage and found that another carriage was parked here.

The driver waved his whip and quickly disappeared from Li Nuo's sight.

A figure stood beside the carriage and said, "Token."

After the two handed the identity token of the chief to him for inspection, they were blindfolded and got on the new carriage.

After the carriage started, in the carriage, Chief Wu explained to Li Nuo, "The thief's door cannot be exposed to the light, so it's normal to be cautious. Chief Song will get used to it."

Li Nuo nodded and said, "I understand."

Although they are both chiefs, Chief Wu has been in the door for many years and obviously knows more.

After thinking for a while, he asked again, "I wonder which other senior officials will attend today's meeting?"

These are not secrets, Chief Wu said: "When it comes to the distribution of areas under the jurisdiction of the chiefs, in addition to the sixteen chiefs, the four guardians will definitely appear, and at least one of the two envoys on the left and right should appear."

Li Nuo asked again: "Where is the master?"

Chief Wu shook his head and said: "The dragon of the sect master has seen its head but not its tail. I have been in the sect for so many years, but I have never seen the sect master once. I once heard Protector Zhang say that he has never seen the sect master..."

The two chatted all the way, and changed carriages several times along the way. Each carriage only took them part of the way.

In this case, let alone remembering the route, Li Nuo didn't even know whether he was in Chang'an City or not.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped again.

The blindfolded two people got off the carriage and were helped to walk a certain distance. They crossed several thresholds and walked through two long corridors.

There was a sound of closing the door behind him, the black cloth covering his head was removed, and Li Nuo finally regained his sight.

This is a spacious room, and there are already more than a dozen figures waiting in the room.

I saw someone coming in, and there were a few whispers of conversation in the quiet room.

"It's Chief Wu."

"The person next to him must be the newly promoted Song leader. He looks really young."

"At such a young age, with such ability, the future is limitless..."

…

Li Nuo counted and found that there were fourteen people in the room, sitting around four tables.

Three of the tables were full, and there were only two people sitting at the other table.

There is an empty table and two chairs at the front.

Chief Wu took Li Nuo to the table where only two people were sitting.

"I just went to pick up Mr. Song, and I came a little late." Mr. Wu explained to the two of them, and then introduced Li Nuo.

"This is Chief Han."

"This is Chief Feng."

One protector manages four chiefs. The four of them all directly take orders from Protector Zhang and can be regarded as colleagues in the same department.

The two leaders were both middle-aged, one looked elegant and the other was dressed like a farmer. After Li Nuo took his seat, they both smiled at him and held their hands at the same time.

"I've met Mr. Song."

"Please take good care of me in the future."

Li Nuo returned the favor with cupped fists and continued to wait with a few others.

After a while, the door opened again, and a figure wearing black clothes and covering his face walked into the room and sat at an empty table in the front.

Chief Wu whispered: "This is a protector."

Soon, three more guardians came here one after another, including the old man in black robe that Li Nuo had seen.

At this point, the four guardians of the Thieving Sect and the sixteen leaders have all arrived.

Li Nuo felt a little excited in his heart.

So many days of hard work finally paid off.

Crunch!

At a certain moment, the door opened again.

Two figures, one black and one white, stepped in from the outside.

Everyone in the room immediately stood up and bowed to the two men.

Li Nuo took a look and saw that the two door-robbers, a man and a woman, were both old men.

Neither of them was masked, they slowly walked into the room and sat on the two chairs at the front.

After the old woman sat down, she asked: "Has the new first seat been chosen?"

The old man in black robe stood up and said: "The envoy has been selected. The leader of the Song Dynasty came out to see the envoy."

Li Nuo stood up and walked to the front, bowed slightly and said, "I've seen the envoy."

The old woman glanced at him, raised her eyebrows, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever been married?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "Reply to the messenger, my subordinate is already married."

The old woman asked: "How long have you been married?"

Li Nuo said: "More than a year."

The old woman's eyes flashed and she suddenly asked: "Since we have been married for more than a year, why is it that the Yang Yang has not been released and the body of a child is still there?"

Li Nuo was stunned when he heard this.

No, can this be seen?

As soon as the old woman said this, the chief protectors present were a little confused.

Okay, why is the messenger saying this?

However, this thing is really strange.

Since this Song leader has a wife and has been married for such a long time, how could he still be a boy? Does he have some hidden disease?

The expression on Mr. Wu's face was even more surprising. Mr. and Mrs. Song had a very good relationship. He sent someone to check the root of the wall. Their bed shook violently every night. How could he be a boy?

The old man sitting next to the old woman turned up his sleeves and aimed a crossbow arrow between Li Nuo's eyebrows. He asked in a cold voice: "Who are you, and what is the purpose of sneaking into the burglar's door?"

Li Nuo never expected that he and Li Anning could pretend to be so similar and hide their identities from countless people who were monitoring them, so their identities would be revealed.

Now that the matter has come to this, there is no need to pretend anymore.

A smile appeared on his face and he said: "What do you think, Lord Messenger?"

This person obviously came with bad intentions. A stern look appeared on the old man's face and he pulled the trigger.

call out!

A small pocket arrow shot directly between Li Nuo's eyebrows.

But the arrow stopped one foot away from Li Nuo's eyebrows and slowly floated in the void.

He stretched out his hand to hold the small arrow and said, "Well said, what kind of arrow should I shoot? Now exile becomes a death sentence..."

The old man's pupils trembled sharply, and he said in a trembling voice: "Legal, you are from the Legalist family!"

Everyone present finally realized that something was wrong. Chief Wu's expression changed and he immediately said: "It's not a good time to stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"

After his words fell, both the guardians present and the leader quickly ran towards the door.

At this time, it is useless to worry about the identity of the leader of Song Dynasty.

The high-level officials above the Stealing Sect are all here. If something happens, the entire Stealing Sect will be overturned.

However, they just ran to the door and slowly retreated back into the room.

The courtyard outside was already filled with people.

Chief Wu looked at the woman standing at the front who had poured tea for him just now, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

The next moment, he was locked in place, unable to move.

Not only him, but all the thieves present were imprisoned in place by an invisible force.

Although the Thieving Sect is mysterious and cautious, both the first guardian and the envoy are just ordinary people with no cultivation. At most, they have practiced some basic martial arts. Facing Li Anning and the master guards of the Li Mansion led by Butler Wu, there is no way to escape. .

Li Anning walked in from the door, saw the crossbow in Li Nuo's hand, and asked with concern: "Ms. sir, are you okay?"

Li Nuo dropped the arrow on the ground, clapped his hands and said, "It's okay."

The guards of the Li Mansion filed in and captured all the high-level thieves.

Although only twenty-one people have been arrested so far, except for the sect leader, all the senior officials of the stealing sect have been wiped out. As long as they follow them to investigate, the sixty-four stewards and the official disciples have nothing to do with it. Escape.

However, these are the matters of the Chang'an County Government, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple.

Li Anning asked Li Nuo curiously: "How was your identity exposed?"

When they arrived, they saw these people trying to escape.

Fortunately, they arrived in time. If these people had escaped early, all they had done in the past few days would have been in vain.

Li Nuo waved his hand and said: "It's not important. Let's interrogate these people quickly. Things will change later. Once the stewards below notice something is wrong, our work will be in vain..."

Each of the sixteen chiefs has four stewards.

The identities, addresses, and seats in charge of these stewards are very clear.

And every steward also knows the details of the thieves under his command.

From top to bottom, follow the clues and follow the clues, and you can uproot the entire stolen door.

Chang'an has a curfew at the moment and the city gates have been closed. These people cannot escape.

Li Nuo doesn't need to do these things personally.

He just had to wait for the results.

Now he just wants to sleep.

In the past few days, he was tense every moment, even when sleeping.

Now that the string was finally loosened, my whole body suddenly felt extremely tired.

The senior executives who had stolen the door were escorted out one after another. Li Anning turned around and found that Li Nuo was asleep on the table.

She walked over slowly. She had really worked hard on him these past few days.

She reached out her hand to help Li Nuo tidy up her messy hair, but Butler Wu walked in from outside.

Li Anning's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and then retracted it.

She suddenly realized that she was no longer suitable for this.

Now he is someone else's husband.

Butler Wu carefully carried Li Nuo on his back and said to Li Anning: "Your Highness, I have taken the young master home. You should go back and rest early."

Li Anning watched Butler Wu leave with Li Nuo on his back, and felt a sense of loss in his heart.

It’s not if it’s lost, it’s already lost.

The couple who were still intimate just now suddenly felt endless distance.

Those beautiful memories seem to be just a dream.

When you wake up from the dream, everything will return to reality.

But soon, she calmed down and put this strange feeling behind her.

These high-level thieves need to be interrogated as soon as possible. Tonight, I'm afraid it will be another sleepless night.

After returning to the Princess Mansion, she washed and changed her clothes, then went straight to the Criminal Department.

At this time, Song Mansion.

Song Jiaren was already asleep. When she heard the knock on the door, she got dressed and got out of bed and opened the door.

Li Nuo stood at the door and smelled the familiar fragrance of his wife again. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt relaxed instantly. He said, "Madam, I'm back..."

Song Jiaren was stunned for a moment when she looked at this strange but familiar face.

Seeing his wife staring at his face, Li Nuo realized that he was still wearing makeup.

He ran to the fountain in the yard and was about to wash off the makeup on his face when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"etc……"

Li Nuo turned around and saw his wife staring at his face.
