Madam, protect me!

Song Mansion.

Within the small courtyard.

Li Nuo was sitting in the pavilion, performing magic tricks on Mu'er.

He holds a black chess piece in his left hand and a white chess piece in his right hand.

When he clenched his fist and unclenched it, the white chess piece changed to his left hand and the black chess piece changed to his right hand.

Placing the two chess pieces on the table, Li Nuo waved his palm in front of Mu'er's eyes, and another chess piece appeared out of thin air between his fingers.

Song Mu'er looked surprised. Even after watching it many times, she still didn't know how Brother Li Nuo had changed. She grabbed Li Nuo's hand, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said curiously: "Brother Li Nuo , how did this change..."

Li Nuo smiled and said, "This is a trick. It won't be fun if you say it."

Song Muer didn't ask any more questions, waved to Song Jiaren who had just walked out of the room, and said, "Sister Jiaren, come here quickly, brother Li Nuo can do tricks!"

Song Jiaren walked over slowly and sat opposite Li Nuo.

Li Nuo glanced at her secretly. Her expression was as normal as usual.

He performed the magic trick he had just performed on Mu'er several times more.

Song Jiaren's face showed surprise.

Even with her cultivation in the fourth realm, she couldn't see the mystery behind it.

This was naturally not what Li Nuo expected.

Because it's not magic at all.

It would be more appropriate to say it is spell or magic.

Swapping the chess pieces of the left and right hands is essentially the "counter-buying" of stealing skills, or it can be said to be stealing the beam and changing the pillar.

And conjuring chess pieces out of thin air is the thieves' way of "retrieving objects from the air."

For an ordinary thief to do these two things, he needs to rely on extreme techniques and speed.

But a real thief only needs a thought.

Among them, the power of heaven and earth has been involved.

Compared with other cultivation systems, the stage where a warrior comes into contact with the power of heaven and earth is the latest. She can only see some clues after reaching the sixth level.

Now Li Nuo can change the purse in someone else's arms into his own hand out of thin air, and can also make the other party disembodied over a long distance without the slightest awareness.

Although this still can't change the fact that his combat power is low, he has many skills and who knows what day he will be used.

Song Jiaren's eyes were fixed on Li Nuo's hands. She even secretly released her Qi to test, but she still couldn't see the mystery behind it.

However, after going through so much, she wouldn't be surprised if he knew anything.

She didn't ask Li Nuo how he did it. She silently picked up the sword and walked to the yard to practice a new sword technique.

If you want to step beyond the level of a master, you cannot just practice hard. You must combine the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.

Li Nuo watched his wife practicing her sword, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Since the code can integrate the same type of talent, if he captures more martial arts geniuses like Niangzi, wouldn't he have stronger talents than them?

However, it is too difficult to find so many martial arts geniuses at once and find legitimate reasons to arrest them, and it is almost impossible to achieve.

It is much easier to catch only one person and spend one day of your life every day to light up her portrait.

But what you get in this way is only the opponent's talent, and you have to practice a little by yourself. Li Nuo can't bear this hardship, so he should let his wife work hard.

In addition to the lady, there is also Mu'er.

The little girl will grow up and become a master.

Looking at the lady who was practicing her sword, Li Nuo thought of Li Anning's words. After thinking about it for a moment, he whispered a few words in Mu'er's ear.

Mu'er looked at Song Jiaren who was not far away, rolled her dark and smart eyes, and then nodded slightly.

Li Nuo left Song Mansion, went to the street with Butler Wu, bought a few locks, and continued to verify the thieves' abilities.

As he expected, no matter what the internal structure of these locks was, all he needed to open them was a simple thought.

Sure enough, to achieve the ultimate in any line is a great thing.

When Li Nuo walked out of the lock-selling shop, Butler Wu asked, "Master, where are you going now? Are you going back to the Song family?"

Li Nuo said: "Don't go back yet, let's take a stroll on the street."

Now is not the time to go back.

At this time, Song Mansion.

Song Jiaren practiced her swordsmanship for a while and sat aside to rest.

Mu'er ran over from not far away, sat next to her, and said, "Sister Jiaren, let's play a game. I'll ask you a few questions. You can't think about it, you have to give the answer immediately."

Before Song Jiaren agreed, Song Muer asked: "White or black, which one do you like?"

Song Jiaren wiped the clear frost and said slowly: "White."

As soon as the words fell, Song Muer asked, "Which one do you like, apples or peaches?"

Song Jiaren lowered her head to clean her sword and said casually: "Taozi."

"Who do you like more, Song Ning'er or me?"

Song Jiaren shook her head slightly but did not speak.

Song Muer did not dwell on this issue, looked at her expectantly, and asked: "If there is a person who can draw, play the piano very well, write poetry, and do arithmetic, but does not know martial arts, and the other person is very talented in martial arts, But I’m not that good at playing the piano or painting, and I can’t write poetry or arithmetic. Which one would you choose to be your husband?”

Song Jiaren raised her head and asked doubtfully, "Why do you ask this?"

Song Muer held her hand and said, "I'm just curious..."

Song Jiaren shook her head and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it."

Song Muer refused to give up, shook her arm, and said coquettishly: "Oh, think about it now..."

Song Jiaren was helpless by Mu'er. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Be the first one."

Song Muer felt happy and asked, "Why?"

Song Jiaren said calmly: "There is no reason."

This was her first thought.

No matter how high your martial arts talent is, how high can it be? Martial arts is not that difficult in the first place.

But those who can play the piano, draw, write poetry and do arithmetic are really good.

"Hey, I know..."

Song Muer smiled happily, and when she was about to run away, Song Jiaren suddenly held her wrist.

Song Jiaren looked at her and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask these questions?"

…

Li Nuo wandered outside for a long time and didn't go home until dinner time.

The lady was called over by the old lady. Today's dinner was only for Mu'er and him.

Li Nuo looked back and saw that there was no situation outside the house, so he asked in a low voice: "How's it going?"

Song Muer came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Hearing Mu'er's answer, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew her a little bit, he still hoped to hear her answer with his own ears.

But there were some things that he really couldn't ask himself.

Fortunately, there is Mu'er...

Who would doubt a simple six-year-old girl?

After giving Mu'er some of her favorite dishes, Song Mu'er asked while eating: "Brother Li Nuo, which one do you like, white or black?"

Li Nuo said without thinking, "White."

"What about apples and peaches?"

"peach."

"Who do you like more, Song Ning'er or me?"

"you."

A happy smile appeared on Song Muer's face. The questions that Sister Jiaren didn't answer could always be answered firmly by Brother Li Nuo.

She thought for a while and then asked: "What if there is a woman who is proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting, but not martial arts, and there is another woman who is not good at chess, calligraphy and painting, but is very good in martial arts..."

Before Song Muer could finish speaking, Li Nuo said, "I choose someone who knows martial arts."

He is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but not martial arts.

He doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, but his martial arts skills are very high.

The first thing that came to Li Nuo's mind was Phoenix and the lady.

Can playing chess, calligraphy and painting save lives?

Between the phoenix and the lady, wouldn't it be a no brainer to choose the lady?

After he came to his senses, he glanced at the little girl and said, "I asked you to ask Sister Jiaren, but you still asked about me..."

Song Muer said with a smile: "I'm curious too..."

Halfway through dinner, Muer disappeared in a flash.

A six-year-old child is at the age when he cannot sit still.

Li Nuo finished his meal alone and read a book in the room for a while, when Song Jiaren walked in from outside.

She took a book from the bookshelf, sat across from Li Nuo and started reading.

Li Nuo glanced at it. This time it was not "Shuowen" or "Nine Numbers". It was a martial arts classic with more pictures than words.

Li Nuo was very pleased.

The lady finally got down to business.

What about "Shuowen" and "Nine Numbers"? Are those the books she should read? The right way is to improve her cultivation.

As the sky grew dark, Li Nuo lit the glass lamp.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Nuo looked up at her and said, "It's daytime, I didn't mean to..."

Song Jiaren said, "Can you play a piece of music for me?"

Li Nuo nodded.

Just playing a piece of music, no matter how big a deal it is, it consumes one day of your life...

Today is different from the past, he can afford it.

There are still more than 400 thieves who have not been tried, and each of them needs at least six days, which is more than 2,000 days, no less than one or two days.

Because it was night, Li Nuo played a soothing song. After playing the song, he asked, "Do you still want to listen?"

Song Jiaren shook her head and said, "It's getting late, so go to bed early."

The song just now does have some sleep-aiding effect.

The power of music doesn't stop there. If it were more powerful, it could even be hypnotic.

Li Nuo just flipped through another eccentric book and discovered that hundreds of years ago, in addition to the thieves, there was another family called the "Le Family".

As the name suggests, musicians specialize in the study of music.

It's just that at that time, hundreds of schools of thought merged and merged with each other, and each school successively unified their thoughts. Schools of different schools but with the same direction gradually merged into one family.

Musicians have completely integrated into Confucianism, and music has become one of the six arts of a gentleman.

In fact, Ledao can be a brand of its own if it is taken out alone. However, it is extremely difficult to get started with Ledao, which blocks most people from getting started.

For example, with Confucianism and Legalism, you can easily get started after practicing for one or two years.

But if you want to get started in Le Dao, you not only have to have super high talent, but also have to put in decades of hard work. The Le family disciples have always been sparse, and later they completely broke off the inheritance and were integrated into Confucianism.

Lying on the bed, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he has experienced many twists and turns in the past two days, his relationship with his wife has finally returned to its original state.

Tonight, Li Nuo finally dreamed of his wife.

The good news is, he dreamed about his wife.

The bad news is that Li Anning is also there.

Although I couldn’t remember the content of the dream clearly after I got up, the feeling in the dream was quite evocative...

When Li Nuo got out of bed, he saw his wife sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair.

She is different from ordinary women in that she does not learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor is she interested in makeup.

With a bare face and a casual ponytail, her makeup was over.

Because of this, her skin is much more delicate and smooth than that of ordinary women, revealing a natural feeling.

Li Nuo thought about it, walked to the dressing table, and said, "Do you want me to help you?"

The first time holding hands, the first time hugging, the first time dressing..., too many first times were given to Li Anning.

If she was not given the second time, she might think that Li Nuo had something against her.

Song Jiaren paused in combing her hair. Although she didn't say anything, she gently placed the comb in her hand on the table.

Li Nuo picked up the comb and straightened her hair first, then braided her hair into a bundle with both hands at a dazzling speed.

She usually only tied a simple ponytail.

Li Nuo did not change her habit, but he combed a luxurious version of the ponytail, which had many changes based on her previous hairstyle.

In this way, her heroic spirit can be retained to the greatest extent, while adding two points of softness.

This is the most suitable hairstyle for her.

Li Nuo finally adjusted the position of the hairpin and said, "Okay, take a look..."

Song Jiaren had actually been looking at the mirror. She had to admit that she was not as good as her even in dressing up.

Li Nuo walked out of the room and gave her some time to adapt.

She might not be used to the sudden change of style.

Mu'er had gotten up early to practice in the yard. Li Nuo walked over and said, "Do you want me to dress you up today?"

Song Mu'er put down the sword and said in surprise, "Can I?"

Anyway, the portrait has been lit up. Combing one is combing, two or three is also combing. It's better to satisfy Mu'er's long-cherished wish.

Song Mu'er asked, "But didn't brother Li Nuo say that you only dress up your wife?"

Li Nuo was stunned: "Really?"

Song Mu'er nodded.

Li Nuo looked back and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Where did I say such a thing? Do you still want me to dress you up..."

Song Mu'er immediately covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly...

...

When Li Anning came to the Song Mansion, Li Nuo was dressing Ning'er.

She looked at the two lovely girls, who became more beautiful under Li Nuo's hands, and couldn't help but think of the past.

Although he had also done her makeup, he did it in the opposite direction.

In this life, I'm afraid there will be no chance for him to do her makeup properly once.

At this time, a figure walked out of the room.

Li An Ning glanced at Song Jiaren, his eyes lingering on her hair.

Song Jiaren was a little different today.

She glanced at Li Nuo and understood something.

She suddenly felt that she came out a little casually today. It's okay that she didn't do much makeup, but at least she should smear her lips.

Li An Ning smeared her lips subconsciously and said to Li Nuo: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Justice caught four more thieves, and those thieves have been tried. If you have time, go to the Ministry of Justice to use the seal. I'll go back first..."

Li Nuo was putting the flower ornaments on Ning'er's eyebrows, and heard the words: "Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

After a while, Li Nuo arranged Ning'er and went to the Ministry of Justice with Li An Ning.

Two days after parting with her, Li Nuo finally got over the impact of that incident, and his relationship with Li An Ning was back on track.

However, after all, there was such an experience, and getting along with her now was different from before.

She was a princess after all, and Li Nuo used to be more respectful to her.

Now he was more casual.

He was used to calling her "Madam", but now he couldn't even call her "Your Highness".

When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, a pile of thick files had been placed on Li An Ning's desk.

In addition to the four managers who were caught later, a total of 426 thieves were sentenced.

These people were sentenced to three years in prison and exile for 3,000 miles for the highest level of theft.

Among the more than 400 thieves, not a single one was convicted of murder.

Li An Ning was a little surprised by this, but Li Nuo was not surprised.

Although the Thief Sect was an illegal organization, it had strict rules within the organization.

It was a major principle of the Thief Sect to make money but not kill. Once violated, they would be expelled from the Thief Sect.

On the contrary, those unorganized scattered thieves are very likely to commit murder and steal money when they get carried away.

The files of four hundred people were divided into more than ten copies.

Li Nuo stamped very quickly, and the numbers on the code were also increasing rapidly.

Every time a file was stamped, nearly two hundred days of life were credited.

One, two, three...

When he stamped the fifth file, Li Nuo frowned slightly.

Although the life span has increased to an unprecedented 1,500 days, the life span increase of this file is wrong.

There are the names of thirty thieves on this file, which should increase his life span by 180 days, but it only increased by less than 120 days.

Li Nuo put down this file first and stamped the next file.

He glanced at the code.

The life span is still 1,500 days, not a day more.

This is not the first time he has encountered such a thing.

The bad news is that his life span will not increase anymore.

The good news is that he has encountered a bottleneck again.

Breaking through this bottleneck, he can enter the second realm of the legal family.

In less than three months, a newcomer who had never entered the sect reached the peak of the first level of the Fa family. I dare not say that there will be no one to surpass him, but at least there has never been anyone before.

Li Anning saw Li Nuo stop and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Nuo put down the seal and said, "You can do the rest."

Her Royal Highness also made great contributions to this case. In some aspects, she made greater sacrifices than Li Nuo. He was embarrassed to take all the extra credit.

Li Anning did not refuse. She glanced at Li Nuo and thought that he still had some conscience.

After stamping the last few files, she smiled.

Although it was a long way to break through the fourth realm, finishing this case was an obvious step on the road to the fifth realm.

When Li Anning stamped, Li Nuo looked at the code.

There were countless portraits on the code.

But these portraits were merging rapidly, and finally merged into one portrait, and then scattered into countless light spots and entered his body.

With the influx of light spots, the power of the thief in his body seemed to increase slightly.

Li Nuo was very surprised.

He could still practice like this?

If he could catch all the thieves in the world, wouldn't he have a chance to become a saint by stealing?

No matter which family, anyone who can become a seventh-level saint is a powerful existence with the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth. The ability of the Saint of Thieves must be not weak.

However, the Dao family is too mysterious, and the inheritance has been cut off for a long time. Li Nuo can't find any relevant information at all.

Although he inherited the inheritance of the Dao family, Li Nuo has no intention of carrying forward the Dao family.

Not thinking about this matter for the time being, Li Nuo asked: "Have you found the murderer who killed the Huang couple?"

At the beginning, Li Nuo's purpose of breaking into the Daomen was actually just to investigate the case.

It happened that the first seat was vacant, and he encountered the Daomen Conference, so he simply wiped them out.

Li Anning nodded and said: "They have been caught. You guessed right. The murderer of the Huang couple was indeed from the Daomen."

The Daomen was almost wiped out, and investigating the murder case in the Huang Mansion became a very simple matter.

Just check which manager is in charge of the Huang Mansion, and the suspects can be locked on a few people. The thief who stole from the Huang Mansion did not hide the matter. He boasted to his colleagues the next day, and the Ministry of Justice caught him yesterday.

But this guy was very stubborn and insisted that he only stole things and did not kill anyone.

However, the iron-clad facts were in front of him, and it was useless for him to deny it.

She took out the bottom file and said, "This is the file of the murder case in the Huang Mansion. You come to use the seal."

Li Nuo took the seal.

His cultivation reached a bottleneck, and catching ordinary thieves could not increase his lifespan.

But there was no limit to murder cases.

He stamped two seals.

As expected, the numbers on the code changed.

From 1,500 to 1,490.

Li Nuo stood there.

The reduction in lifespan means that the judgment was wrong.

That guy was not the murderer!

He immediately looked at Li Anning and asked, "Where is the murderer of this case? I want to see him."

Li Anning said, "In the death row of the Ministry of Justice."

A moment later, Li Nuo and Li Anning came to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Before they reached the death row, they heard someone shouting.

"It's unfair!"

"I didn't kill anyone. I really didn't kill anyone!"

"Go out and ask around. Everyone in the thieves' house knows my name as the 'King of Paisai'. How could I have woken them up? When I left their room, they were still asleep!"

"You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my skills!"

"You are treating my life as worthless. I want to appeal. I want to appeal to the Dali Temple and the Censorate!"
