The sword body is three feet and two inches long, the hilt is simply made without fine craftsmanship, and the scabbard is just an ordinary scabbard, which can't be seen among ordinary iron swords.But Lan Tingsheng has seen many treasures, his eyes are very vicious, and he can recognize a small totem carved on the hilt at a glance. It is a sword made by Zhu Jiuting, a famous swordsmith in the world. It is made of Tianshan Xuantie. It is extremely sharp and can cut iron like mud. It is worth thousands of gold.

Hitting people and stealing is just the lowest level of stealing skills. Lan Tingsheng knew that the young man in Xuanyi was very skilled in martial arts when he saw his steady steps. If he wanted to steal the sword from him, it would not be easy. Housekeeping skills, the trouble is a bit troublesome, but that sword is also worth showing his skills.

But first, let the sword of the young man in black leave his body.

The masked young man in black was walking across the street. Lan Tingsheng stuffed the last bite of the bun into his mouth, clapped his hands and walked over. He must have no chance of stealing the sword on this street. , still have to find time.

Unexpectedly, when the two passed by, Lan Tingsheng keenly noticed that the young man in black seemed to have stopped to look at him, and then reached out and grabbed his arm, causing Lan Tingsheng to take a breath in fright. , I thought I haven't stolen him yet!Did he notice it now?

It turned out that while Lan Tingsheng was looking at him, the young man in black also noticed Lan Tingsheng, but what surprised him even more was that it was another reason that caused him to hold Lan Tingsheng back.

The young man held Lan Tingsheng's arm for a long time without saying a word, but looked down at his waist. On the tattered clothes, there was a piece of precious mutton fat jade pendant hanging on his waist, and the pattern and workmanship were also extraordinary.

Lan Tingsheng was very quick-witted, and immediately pretended to be a passer-by who didn't understand anything, and asked the other person with anger and fear: "You... who are you, why are you holding me?"

It happened to be at the corner of the alley, so it didn't attract the attention of many people, but some people still cast their eyes over it.

The young man was not in a hurry, and smiled softly: "You just stared at me for so long and wanted to steal something from me?"

In order to disguise himself, Lan Tingsheng deliberately dressed in tatters. Seeing his attire, everyone around him also agreed with Xie Ning's words, and there was nothing more to do.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ning would sue the villain first, Lan Tingsheng was a little angry and said: "I didn't steal anything from you, don't talk nonsense!"

The young man nodded and said, "You didn't steal anything from me, so where did you get the jade pendant around your waist?"

Lan Tingsheng lied and said, "It's a family heirloom handed down from eighteen generations of my ancestors. You can't insult me ​​as a thief just because I'm poor!"

The thief was quite good at talking nonsense. As soon as he said this, the onlookers also began to suspect.

The young man shook his head and asked, "Is your surname Xiao? The elders in the family rank fourth?"

Lan Tingsheng was stunned, and the young man said again: "This jade pendant is a symbol of the family. You can see that the word Xiao is engraved on the front of it, and the word four is engraved on the back. You say that this is a family heirloom. , Eighteen generations of single biography, that is to say, your grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's elders will be the fourth in the family?"

Hearing this, Lan Tingsheng was a little dumbfounded, who knows where his ancestors are, he said with a sullen face: "Anyway, the jade pendant is not yours, so don't meddle in other people's business!"

But the young man said: "His jade pendant is in your hand, it seems that he is also nearby?"

Naturally, Lan Tingsheng would not admit that he was a thief, and denied, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

The young man smiled, let him go, and said politely: "I offended you so much just now, this little brother, can you take a step to speak?"

Lan Ting couldn't wait for his life, his clever eyeballs circled the long sword in the young man's hand a few times, and nodded slowly.

When the two of them reached the entrance of the alley where no one was around, Lan Tingsheng said anxiously: "What's the matter with you, tell me quickly."

The young man nodded, and called out with a smile, "Lan Tingsheng."

Lan Tingsheng replied subconsciously: "Why..."

He immediately shut his mouth again, stared at the young man with wide eyes, annoyed that he had been deceived by him, and said angrily, "Who the hell are you, and how did you recognize me?"

"Is it difficult to recognize you?" The young man smiled: "Although I have never met you, I have heard of your name, and you seem to have forgotten one of the most obvious characteristics of yourself."

Lan Tingsheng didn't know where he heard the words, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the birthmark of the plum blossom on his neck, looked at the young man vigilantly, thinking that this man could not have received a reward order from Jianghu to arrest him, right?

Seeing this, the young man smiled sincerely: "Your Excellency, please take a moment to speak. Naturally, I don't want to be an enemy of Your Excellency. I just want the jade pendant on your waist. I hope Your Excellency will give it to me, otherwise..."

"Once I get it, it's mine! Why do you give it as you say?" Lan Tingsheng said angrily.

The young man thought for a while and explained: "How many families surnamed Xiao are there in the world? I think your Excellency should be clear. You don't want to mess with those people, do you?"

Lan Tingsheng laughed and said, "If his surname is not Xiao, I won't steal it!"

"After stealing it, you still have to hang it on your waist and walk on the street swaggeringly. Your courage cannot be underestimated." The young man said thoughtfully.

Lan Tingsheng snorted: "What does this have to do with you? If you don't want to become an enemy of the young master, then you should go away."

The young man said: "What if I must get that jade pendant today?"

Lan Tingsheng paused, then raised his voice and laughed: "Then you come and chase me!"

After he said that, he used his lightness kung fu to climb over the wall, stepped on the roof, and flew away very quickly. The young man stopped smiling and sighed: "Why bother to struggle?"

Although Lan Tingsheng is top-notch in lightness kung fu, the young man's kung fu is not bad. When Lan Tingsheng ran to the ruined temple in the outskirts of the city, he stopped to rest for a while, panting like a dog, exhausted, and there was no one behind him, so he finally got rid of him .Lan Tingsheng couldn't help scolding: "Today is really bad luck! Where did this person come from, the lightness kung fu is so good..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tingsheng saw a shadow enveloping him, and the person behind him said with a leisurely smile, "Your Excellency's lightness kung fu is the best in the south of the Yangtze River. I am really ashamed to receive such absurd praise from Your Excellency."

"I go!"

Lan Tingsheng turned around abruptly, pointed at the young man with trembling fingers, and said in surprise, "You...how did you catch up to me!"

The young man thought for a while and explained: "I am very sensitive to smells, as long as you walk through, there will be more or less smells left, and this allowed me to find you."

"...Taste... Are you a dog?"

Lan Ting was very angry and laughed back, the young man really nodded: "Your Excellency is right, my zodiac is indeed a dog."

Lan Tingsheng: "..."

With a slight smile on his lips, the young man approached Lan Tingsheng, and said, "I have caught up with Your Excellency, and Your Excellency is going to hand over the jade pendant to me."

"...When did I say that I would give you the jade pendant if you caught up with me?"

The young man paused with a smile, slowly put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and sighed: "It seems that we still have to rely on our own abilities?"

Seeing that he really wanted to draw his sword, Lan Tingsheng hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Hey, hey, hey! What's the matter with you! Thieves are inhumane, right? Thieves are robbed by people these days, right?"

Pulling out half of the sharp blade and retracting it, the young man smiled and said, "That's not true, as long as you give me the jade pendant, nothing will happen, right?"

Lan Tingsheng sighed: "I really can't give you this!"

"why?"

Lan Tingsheng waved his hands decadently and said, "Stop talking, I'm begging you today, don't force me anymore!"

The young man was silent for a while, then asked him again: "Did you be instructed by someone?"

Lan Tingsheng knelt down slowly, and said impatiently: "Don't ask, I can't tell!"

The young man took another step closer to him and said, "Is there anything I can't say...you!"

Before he finished speaking, Lan Tingsheng grasped the sword in his hand tightly. It turned out that Lan Tingsheng was just trying to draw him closer, and attacked his sword when he was not defending!The young man grasped the handle of the sword quickly and pulled out the blade, while Lan Tingsheng grabbed the scabbard and dodged unexpectedly.

Lan Tingsheng's kung fu was not good at all, and the young man's sword was out of its sheath again, but after a cup of tea kung fu, Lan Tingsheng's thin body was knocked down to the ground, with a sharp sword on his neck.

The young man said angrily, "You lied to me?"

Lan Tingsheng couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said angrily, "I'm a thief who can deceive people!"

The young man said: "I hate others to lie to me the most."

"...I knew I wouldn't have lied to you..." Lan Tingsheng saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he wrinkled his face bitterly and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, hero! Please let me go!"

The young man fell silent for a moment, put the sword back, stretched out his hand and said to Lan Tingsheng, "Jade pendant."

Lan Tingsheng slowly got up while rubbing his fallen buttocks, and reasoned with the young man: "I really can't give you the jade pendant."

The young man asked, "Why?"

Lan Tingsheng thought for a while, and said seriously: "You also know that I am also a well-known figure in the Jianghu. The things stolen by the gods are stolen by others, and the rumors are so ugly. Where can I put my face?"

The young man said: "I will not tell the third person."

"..." Lan Tingsheng thought for a long time before he said with difficulty: "This is breaking the rules of the world! Otherwise, you and I will make a bet. I will use the jade pendant as a bet. If you win, the jade pendant will be returned to you. If you lose, you can no longer trouble me."

The young man nodded and said, "I've never heard of such Jianghu rules, but your bet seems a bit biased."

"Then do you agree?"

Lan Tingsheng added: "At that time, I will invite the life-threatening scholars in the city of water-breaking, Bai Xiaosheng and others to testify, and I will definitely not lose you!"

The young man was silent for a while, and asked him, "How do you bet?"

Lan Tingsheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "If within three days, if I can steal the sword from your hand, you can no longer meddle in my affairs!"

Hearing that the young man's gentle eyes were a bit chilly, he looked at Lan Tingsheng quietly.

"...Don't you dare to gamble?" Lan Tingsheng was afraid that the young man would not be fooled, so he deliberately provoked him.

Unexpectedly, the young man nodded, but said, "Three days is too long."

Lan Tingsheng quickly changed his words: "Two days are fine."

"Twelve hours."

"Pfft!" Lan Tingsheng's eyes widened in shock, "Twelve hours?!"

The young man replied with a smile in his eyes: "Don't you dare to gamble?"

According to Lan Tingsheng's betting agreement, it was the young man who lost the money, but the young man changed the time to twelve hours, which made Lan Tingsheng hesitate, but the young man replied to his provocative words with a youthful look. Sheng Lan Tingsheng gritted his teeth and nodded.

"no problem!"

The young man said again: "There is no need to invite anyone to testify, but if you lose, the jade pendant must be handed over to me."

Lan Ting could only wish for life, who would want to expose his own scandal?The two made a bet on this, and at the end, when the young man left, Lan Tingsheng remembered to ask his name, and raised his voice to the thin figure and asked, "Hey! I don't know who you are yet! What is your name?" What's your name?"

The young man didn't look back, his tone was still gentle and slow.

"Xie Ning."
