There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

When Xiao woke up the next morning, he found that his dagger had been lost.

It's fine if there is nothing else, but the dagger is a treasure given to him by a familiar ranger, and it can cut gold and break jade.When he came out of the capital, besides the necessary things for travel and gold and silver, he only brought such a dagger with him, and he never left his body for a moment.When he took a boat to find Qinglong before, he also used this dagger to defeat the Zaoli who besieged him.

Xiao cherishes this dagger very much, and now that it is lost, he is very upset.

This dagger obviously couldn't run with long legs by itself. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao knew that the group from yesterday did it.He and Qinglong were both sound asleep last night, but they didn't realize it.Speaking of which, it was thanks to him that he lost the dagger, otherwise they would not have known that someone came in last night.At that time, Qinglong transformed into a dragon while sleeping, since the thief came to steal the dagger, he probably also saw Qinglong's dragon body.

If you just stole the dagger, find a way to get it back.It happened that the man also saw the dragon body of Qinglong, which was a bit difficult to handle.Xiao was usually gentle and easy-going, but now he was a little murderous.

The person who has seen the shape of the green dragon cannot stay.

Speaking of which, the previous Zheng Shiqi had already broken his arm, so he might not dare to do it again.Maybe it was because they saw that Zheng Shiqi was not going well, so they sent someone else.In any case, Zheng Shiqi showed his face in front of them, whether he was looking for a dagger or killing someone, he had to find that Zheng Shiqi first.

That being said, where are they going to find them?

If it were in the East China Sea, Qinglong would only need a second to tell their exact location, but now on land, Qinglong has nothing to do.These little thieves are elusive, and it is really difficult to find their whereabouts for a while.

Now I can only stay in a few nearby towns for a few more days, and slowly inquire.That Zheng Shiqi seems to be quite famous, try to find a way to inquire about him, maybe you can find out his whereabouts.

While Xiao and Qinglong were worrying about the lost dagger, the two brothers Shi Qi and Shi Jiu were also worrying about money.

Nineteen, according to what his brother said before, gave all the 20 taels of silver in his hand to Lao Sun and Lao Li.Talking to the two of them was hard work, and their brothers also folded in. There was really no way, so they told them not to follow anymore.Seeing the injury on Zheng Shiqi's arm, Lao Sun and Lao Li felt a little embarrassed and refused to take the money.Seventeen forced the silver into their hands, saying that if there was any other work, don't forget the two brothers, and left with Nineteen.

If that's the case, this time the matter is over.Nineteen took his dagger, but he didn't dare to go back to give it away. Fortunately, the other party couldn't find them both at once, so Seventeen stopped thinking about it.The problem now is that this ticket was not made, and the only silver in Shijiu's hands was returned to someone else. Now the two brothers searched their pockets and only found change of two taels of silver.

If you are usually a diligent householder, these two taels of silver are enough to spend a month.However, the two brothers had no tiles on the roof and no place to stand on the ground. They wandered outside, and they had to spend money for food and lodging.Even if the weather is warm today, you can find a ruined temple to live in at night, and you will always have to spend money for food and drink.According to the two brothers' way of spending, no matter how frugal they are, these two taels of silver are enough to spend three to five days.If you loosen your hands accidentally, you may be able to spend it all in one night.

These two brothers are well-known burglars, but they must leave a name when they make a move, and they will never be like ordinary thieves, stealing three or five coins from the pockets of old farmers who are going to the market to make a living.There is no big family here, and Nineteen went out to step on the dishes every night, but he didn't find anything worth stealing. Besides, Seventeen had folded his hand, and now he is inconvenient to move. I don't dare to do it.In this way, the two brothers were trapped here for a while.

These two people usually have the reputation of chivalry, and they have a lot of friends in the Jianghu. If they can meet a ranger they know well, it may not be a problem to find a way to borrow three or fifty taels.It's just that these rangers are usually elusive, and they can't find anyone to borrow money when they are in a hurry.The two brothers had no choice but to hang out in a nearby tavern and teahouse, hoping to inquire about some news.No matter what the news is, at least find a way to confuse this paragraph.

They were trying to find money, but Xiao and Qinglong were trying to find them.Xiao knew that Zheng Shiqi was not from his hometown, so he went to various inns to inquire, but he didn't know that these two people had no money to stay in the inn.They also went to teahouses to ask questions, and it was lucky for the Zheng family brothers, even though they had all been to the same tavern and teahouse, they never met each other.

The brothers of the Zheng family didn't know their fate, they just lamented that now that they had left to memorize, they didn't know when they would be able to get some money to overcome this difficult time.Today, his two brothers ordered a jug of wine and a plate of salted beans in the tavern. They sat on the bench for three hours. It's okay to always look at their table.The two brothers were sitting on pins and needles, counting the copper coins in their pockets with their hands, and when they were wondering if they could have some extra money and asked for another plate of salt beans, the curtain at the entrance of the tavern was suddenly lifted, and an old acquaintance of the two brothers walked in. .

The man's surname was Feng and his first name was Chuo, and he also walked around the rivers and lakes.When the brothers of the Zheng family saw that person, they hurried forward to greet him as if they had seen a savior.When the man saw the two brothers of the Zheng family, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face:

"Isn't this the two brothers of the Zheng family? It's been rare these days. This is... getting rich nearby?"

Zheng Shiqi smiled wryly:

"Brother Feng is really good at joking. Recently, my brother had bad luck. He spent all the money on hand and broke his hand because of injury. Being trapped here at the moment is really unbearable, and the land is not working. I don't know what to do."

Hearing what Zheng Shiqi said, Feng Chuo caught a glimpse of the boards tied to his arms, and knew that the two of them seemed to be really unlucky, so he smiled and said:

"My brother has never been rich. Fortunately, I just got 30 taels of reward for being a dart for someone a while ago. If you two don't dislike it, just take the 30 taels."

Zheng Shiqi and this Feng Chuo have known each other for a long time, but their friendship is not very deep.Unexpectedly, before opening his mouth, the other party offered to lend 30 taels of silver, and he couldn't help feeling grateful.Feng Chuo said with a smile:

"Money is nothing, it is my luck to make two good friends."

While talking, he called the waiter over, ordered a lot of food and wine, and even threw a tael of silver to the waiter in the shop.The expression on Xiao Er's face changed, he was full of joy, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to urge the dishes.

The three of them chatted while drinking, but they were talking about things in the world.When Feng Chuo talked about the dangers he encountered while walking the darts, the brothers of the Zheng family sighed with emotion.After drinking for three rounds, Feng Chuo asked Zheng Shiqi how he ended up in this field, and how his arm was broken. Zheng Shiqi smiled wryly:

"I have the heart to tell you, I'm afraid you won't believe it. A few days ago, someone sent news to our brothers that there were two young babies in this area recently, and they took a lot of gold and silver on the road. They didn't shy away. They were afraid The idea is tough, and I dare not do it lightly, so I specially asked our brothers to come. It just so happens that we have nothing to do recently, so we followed them.

Among those two, one is a young and handsome young man, not very tall, with innocence written all over his face.One was tall and lanky.The tall man was extremely beautiful, but there were many scars on his face.I feel weird when I see him like that, and I always feel that my heart is beating.But thinking about the huge amount of property he brought, he couldn't hold back in the end.

Who knew that those two people were so powerful, and my mist didn't work on them.They caught me as soon as I entered the house, and one of them, a tall man, worked so hard that he broke my arm with just one hand.These two people didn't know what the way was, they didn't report to the police, and they didn't kill anyone. They released me, and finally saved my life. "

Nineteen was here listening to his brother tell the story while drinking heavily.He has always been addicted to alcohol, and recently he has been unable to enjoy himself without money.Today I finally encountered such an opportunity to drink, so I naturally wanted to drink more to satisfy my cravings.He drank a little too hard, and was already a little drunk at the moment.Hearing his brother say this, he interjected:

"Speaking of which, our brothers are also unlucky, and we met those two evil gods by accident. Why do you think that man is so strong, and can break people's arms abruptly? It's really because—" He lowered his voice, " That guy is not human at all."

After Nineteenth took the dagger back that day, the two brothers never mentioned what happened that night.So Shi Qi didn't know about it.Seeing that both of them stared wide-eyed on the nineteenth, they smiled, looked at Feng Chuo and whispered:

"My brother left the dagger in the room of those two that night. When I went to get it, I glanced at their bed. Guess what I saw?"

The two asked in unison:

"what?"

"I saw that young man lying naked on the bed, but the tall man was nowhere to be seen. There was a huge dragon wrapped around that young man's body, and the dragon's head was still resting on the pillow, sleeping soundly."

After Nineteen finished speaking, he laughed again. He was drunk and just wanted to tell the story to scare the two of them.Unexpectedly, these two people were not as surprised as he imagined, but both fell into deep thought.

Seventeen smiled bitterly and said:

"If that's the case, I'm really good at folding my hand."

Feng Chuo seemed to be thinking more, and after a while, he asked:

"Nineteen, let me ask you, what color is the scale on that dragon you saw...?"

Nineteen shook his head:

"It was dark at that time, and I couldn't see clearly. It was either black or purple, and it was always dark."

Feng Chuo thought about it again, and asked cautiously:

"Do you think that dragon... is it possible... to be blue?"

"It's also possible." He poked his head out to look at Feng Chuo, "Is there anything more important here?"

Feng Chuo shook his head:

"It's nothing to be particular about. I just remembered that I had been in the capital a few days ago and heard about a strange event. It was said that during the Shangyuan Festival, a blue dragon flew into the sky from Jinwang's mansion and headed for the East China Sea. This place is far from The East China Sea is not far away, so I wonder if it has something to do with it."

Seventeen thought about it and asked:

"Prince Jin? But the one who made a fuss a few days ago and was wanted everywhere? I heard that he has been found now, and he is already dead."

Feng Chuo nodded:

"Exactly. Even if it has something to do with coming here, King Jin is dead now. There is nothing to say. The left and right are just gossip. Let's drink."

The three drank wine together, and gradually talked about other things.When Nineteen finished telling the story, he turned around and forgot everything he had said.Zheng Shiqi and Feng Chuo, however, kept all the words they said to each other in their hearts.
