Catch a thief to warm the bed

Jumping into the second-floor platform of Jingning Residence, what Lin Pei saw was a table, two chairs, and two celadon cups placed upside down on the table.Lin Pei glanced at the table and chairs, and without staying too long, he opened the door and entered the second floor.

A screen with a picture of the march divides the second floor into two parts, and the clothes that Bai Chucheng wore before are still hanging on the screen.

Lin Pei was overjoyed: It seems that he found the right place.

Going around the screen, a bed that can only accommodate one adult man appeared in front of Lin Pei, which really surprised Lin Pei: He had stolen countless officials, and the beds in some corrupt officials' bedrooms were so big that they could sleep five or six people , ordinary officials are just a couple, this General Bai is strange.

Now, Lin Pei was not sure again: Could it be that he entered the wrong room?

While Lin Pei was thinking, the three women had already walked up, so he had no choice but to fly to the beam and hide, and wait for the three women to leave before searching for them.

"Hey, this general is in his twenties, and the general's mansion doesn't have a mistress..." The woman in yellow sighed inexplicably.

"That's not true." The gray-clothed lady echoed, "But the general made a solemn oath to the late emperor long ago. If he doesn't unify the Three Kingdoms, he won't have a family."

The woman in white took off the clothes hanging on the screen in Baichucheng, and said with a smile: "What do you know, this general... Heh, let me stop talking, I can only tell you, this general's mansion, is it right?" There may be a hostess. Why do you think the general is away fighting all the year round?"

The woman in white pretended to be profound, causing the other two women to stare at her angrily.

The woman in white didn't care about the other two, she sighed slightly, turned around and walked towards the third floor.

Seeing the woman in white go far away, the woman in yellow stomped the floor, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you just enter the general's mansion earlier than us? Look at her proud look, hmph."

The woman in gray ignored the woman in yellow, she took tools and began to clean Baichucheng's bedroom.

Seeing this posture, Lin Pei thought, come on, these three people won't leave in an hour or two. In order not to disturb the three of them, Lin Pei simply closed his eyes and dozed off on the beam.

"crunch-"

The sound of doors and windows turning, as soon as the sound fell, Lin Pei immediately opened his eyes.He glanced at the second floor, but didn't see the three women before, so he jumped off the beam.Carefully touched the platform on the second floor, and saw three women leaving with their clothes and bedding in their arms, so he felt relieved to search the second floor.

In the drawer and wardrobe, among the bedding and pillows, Lin Pei searched all the places where things could be hidden, but found no trace of the Xuanbing Jade Flute.

Lin Pei carefully recalled the scene of Bai Chucheng going out. Although he was very sure that Bai Chucheng did not take the flute away, he was a little uncertain now.

"Not on the waist. Could it be in the sleeves or the skirt?" Lin Pei walked towards the third floor while thinking about where the flute might be hidden on Bai Chucheng's body.

Pushing open the door on the third floor, Lin Pei was a little surprised.

"I... Bai Chucheng, what do you mean by this?"

The third floor is empty, and you can see everything in the room from the door—except for the pillars on both sides for support, there is nothing on the third floor.

However, Lin Pei didn't intend to let this place go.

People like Bai Chucheng more or less have secret compartments for hiding things in their homes.

He knocked on every corner of the second floor several times, but found nothing unusual, so he naturally didn't let go of the third floor.

Two hours later, Lin Pei lost his strength. Rubbing his sore hands, Lin Pei panted softly: "Bai Chucheng, Bai Chucheng, have you discovered me a long time ago? Knowing that I have taken a fancy to your Xuanbing jade flute, you Did you deliberately tease me? However, it seems that there is still a first floor that I haven’t found yet.”

Thinking of this, the gloom on Lin Pei's face dissipated instantly. He walked towards the stairs, but found a door between the second floor and the first floor, and the side of the door was unlocked.He tried pushing and pulling, to no avail.Now he was even more depressed.

Lin Pei has long been a felon wanted by the court, and was nicknamed "The Thief" by people in the Jianghu.Lin Pei also let go of the harsh words: As long as I want, there is nothing I can't steal.

In order to prove that he was not lying, Lin Pei stole a piece of the emperor's common clothes that night, covered it with a jade seal, and hung it in the center of Yanjing City.

The emperor was so angry that he issued three imperial notices in succession, demanding that all the state governments try their best to arrest Lin Pei, but it lasted for a year, and Lin Pei was still at ease. In the end, the matter was over, but Lin Pei's arrest warrant was not cancelled.

Lin Pei, who comes and goes without a trace, only steals money but not kills, there are no more than four people who have seen him and know that he is a godly thief - himself, his master, his senior brother, and his senior brother's spouse.

Thinking of this, Lin Pei instantly felt relieved: Bai Chucheng didn't even know that I was following him, let alone that my next target was his flute. Could it be that he took the flute away?

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, why did I become blind!

Lin Pei's lightness kung fu is top-notch, and his boxing and kicking kung fu is third-rate, but the third-rate kung fu can also beat the emperor's guards, but he has no confidence in facing Bai Chucheng.

Not to mention Bai Chucheng's own strength, just looking at him, Lin Pei felt that his legs would go limp, and he probably wouldn't be able to run at that time.

"Hmph, I, Lin Pei, can't get what I like." Lin Pei clenched his fists, his eyes were full of excitement. This was the first time Lin Pei experienced the feeling of meeting an opponent.

The sky was already dyed red by the setting sun. Standing on the second floor of Jingning Residence, Lin Pei looked up at the sky, thinking, Baichu City will be back soon.

Bai Chucheng was coming back, so Lin Pei naturally didn't dare to stay in Jingningju, after thinking about it, he had an idea in his mind.

"Baichucheng, come back quickly, I can't wait to compete with you."

Bai Chucheng did not go directly to the palace. According to the emperor's secret decree, he went to an inn first. After meeting with the person sent by the emperor to pick him up at the inn, he entered the palace in a sedan chair.

Bai Chucheng also couldn't laugh or cry, but he could understand why the emperor did this.

The sedan chair stopped, and the eunuch outside the sedan chair whispered: "General, please get off the sedan chair."

Bai Chucheng glanced at the black veil-covered bamboo hat at his hand, put it on with a mocking smile.

Wensheng Hall, the place where Emperor Dajing received his ministers on weekdays.

"General, the emperor is waiting for you inside the house, the younger one will leave first." After speaking, he waved the whisk in his hand, and all the maids, eunuchs and guards outside the palace followed him.

Bai Chucheng opened the door and walked in. The outer hall was empty.Bai Chucheng stood at the door with his eyes closed, his hands behind his back, and a mysterious smile on his face.

"Your majesty, you want to take my life!" Bai Chucheng suddenly opened his eyes, which were as cold as swords, and then turned calm again.

"My lord, see the emperor." Bai Chucheng shouted loudly, but he didn't kneel down - this was granted by the first emperor.

"Ah."

Bai Chupei looked up at Bai Chucheng, and said with a smile, "Chucheng has become much stronger after being in the border for many years."

Bai Chucheng didn't have time to listen to Bai Chupei's chatter, he took out something from his arms, put his hands on his hands and knelt down in front of Bai Chupei.

"Chucheng, you are..."
