"It's just a beast!" Young Master Qiu held a note in his hand, on which were written four or five lines of delicate characters, but the words were a bit delicate, and the face of Young Master Qiu at this moment was a bit like that. distortion.His hands kept shaking, as if the action of 'shaking' could bring him endless courage.He shook his hands, and no one could see the words clearly, he said angrily: "He doesn't even let off Benhou's cup, it's like a beast!"

Three days later it will be the Treasure Appreciation Party.

However, the Hou's mansion was still bleak, quiet everywhere, and there was no festive atmosphere for the guests at the banquet. Young Master Qiu's mood fell to the bottom when he saw the short note.

There were three people sitting in the study.

A man wearing a huge black cloak was sitting at the table. He was the closest to Young Lord Qiu, but he was also the only one who didn't look at Young Lord Qiu.He leaned forward, propped his chin with one hand, and shook the teacup with the other hand, and said calmly: "Your family's Nine Dragon Cup has passed through the hands of many people. Have you really used it to drink water?"

Qiu Xiaohou stared: "Could it be that Chu Liuxiang can steal it before I drink water from it!"

The man's hand paused, hesitantly said: "If you really use it to drink water... Maybe... Xiang Shuai really doesn't like it..."

"..."

Qiu Xiaohou was furious, he threw the short note on the table with his hands, stomped his feet, his eyes drifted to a painting hanging on the wall from time to time, and said bitterly: "Shen Yiyuan, you also You have no conscience, isn't this treasure appreciation event your idea! You said you want to do it, so Master Ben Hou will do it, and now that Chu Liuxiang has attracted you, why are you still making sarcastic remarks?!"

As he said, he couldn't help but slapped his thigh again, with a heartbroken expression on his face: "Oh, my ancestral Nine Dragon Cup, I'm sorry for you, since you let that thief focus on you, why not... why not... why not me?" I used you! It can be regarded as..."

Shen Yiyuan clapped his hands together, with a gloating smile on his face, "Okay, go, go, take out the Nine Dragon Cup you have hidden so hard, and hand it to Xiangshuai with both hands."

The foot that Lord Qiu Xiaohou had just stepped forward quietly took back.

However, the three sitting people including Shen Yiyuan sighed silently in their hearts.

If Chu Liuxiang really came to steal the treasure, among other things, just take this step towards Young Master Qiu, the Nine Dragon Cup, and it won't be able to hold on.

The window was slanted open, looking out, the moonlight was just right.Shen Yilan was sitting on the branch of an old tree outside the house. The place she chose was also wonderful, where the moonlight was shining, but her existence was ignored.

She watched the movement in the room, feeling dumbfounded for a moment.

The short note that made Young Master Qiu restless was written by her. Her original intention was to divert the attention of Young Master Qiu, and it was exactly as she wished. When Young Master Qiu saw the short note, So he couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly invited two masters from the Daming Palace to guard the Nine Dragon Cup, forgetting about the painting a long time ago.But today, when she came to the Hou's mansion, she realized that dealing with Lord Qiu Xiaohou didn't need to be so troublesome.

I really doubt how it is still in the hands of Lord Qiu Xiaohou.

She curled her lips and muttered, "Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang didn't come."

Otherwise, Lord Qiu Xiaohou would lose two treasures in one day.

Shen Yilan stretched out her right hand, her wrist was exposed from the sleeve, and the moonlight illuminated her slender hand white.She is much thinner than before, and since she was imprisoned on Bat Island, she has lost a lot of vigor, and she will inevitably lose a lot of weight, but Yuan Suiyun can't see it, or doesn't care about it.Her hands were clinging to the tree trunk, and with a little force between her wrists, she was about to slide from under the tree.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Miss Shen still seems to have a lot of opinions on me."

Shen Yilan slipped on the sole of her foot and almost fell.

It was obviously a night with a high moon and a dark wind, and it was obvious that he was here to be a thief, but Chu Liuxiang dared to wear a moon-white robe and move freely in his master's house.His expression was relaxed, obviously he had solved those troubles long ago, with a smile in his eyes, he waved his sleeve lightly, and sat on the branch where Shen Yilan was sitting on before.

He had no fear of being found out, and he was not found out at all.

Shen Yilan looked much more embarrassed.

She didn't expect that there was someone behind her, and in a moment of panic, she just stepped on a twig, and had to hold the tree trunk tightly to prevent herself from falling.The veil covered most of her face, her phoenix eyes were wide open, full of surprise.She asked in surprise, "Can that piece of paper still summon you?"

Chu Liuxiang choked, with an indescribably strange look on his face, "Summon?"

Shen Yilan nodded, shook his head again, and asked, "Why are you here?"

He tidied up his robes, stopped thinking about Shen Yilan's strange words, and his face revealed a look of joy: "You can be here, why can't I be here?"

"...Are you here to steal things too?"

"Why 'also'?"

The two looked at each other, then looked away tacitly.

Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and asked, "If Miss Shen likes the Nine Dragon Cup..."

"No, please." Shen Yilan looked at him again, her voice was very soft to avoid attracting the attention of the people in the room, but her tone was very solemn.She said: "Xiang Shuai, there will be no second person in this world who is more suitable than you to steal that cup."

Chu Liuxiang: I understand the truth, but why do you always use the word 'steal'.

He said: "Miss Shen's next step is to plan..."

"I'm going..." Shen Yilan put her finger on her lips, as if to remind him to keep silent, but before she could say the word 'go', the branch couldn't take it anymore and broke.Shen Yilan fell under the tree, and at the same time, the people in the house also heard the sound.

Chu Liuxiang's expression changed, and she immediately disappeared.

However, the masters from the Daming Mansion invited by Lord Qiu Xiaohou would not take this news lightly. 'Plum Blossom Sword' Fang Huan walked out of the house, his eyes were sharp, and he scanned the courtyard.Chu Liuxiang hid on the roof and held her breath tightly, but it was considered safe.

Fang Huan patrolled around and picked up the broken branch. When he saw the crack in the branch, his frown suddenly relaxed, and he threw the branch away, but took a big step forward. towards the house.

Chu Liuxiang leaned against the roof, and heard Fang Huan's low voice coming from the room, saying: "I think it was Chu Liuxiang's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. With his lightness kung fu, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to break a branch."

Chu Liuxiang laughed dumbly.

Qiu Xiaohou asked in surprise: "Don't you mean that Chu Liuxiang has already come?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly, thinking about letting Shen Yilan make extra troubles again, he couldn't help but doubt Shen Yilan's mind, and even more doubt how she had walked in the rivers and lakes for many years without accident, then suddenly raised his head——

There is no sign of Shen Yilan in this courtyard.

Was he... being used?

Did Shen Yilan expose his whereabouts on purpose?

...It's really a good hand to cheat people.

Shen Yilan squeezed her nose tightly to hold back her sneeze.She nestled in the corner, touched her face, rubbed her earlobes, and muttered softly, "Who is scolding me behind my back? It must be Yuan Suiyun...not right, maybe Shen Yiyuan..."

She had already run to another yard, which was the yard where Lord Qiu Xiaohou lived, and also the yard where the painting was hidden.

Compared with the brightly lit study room, this place is much quieter.The guards in black and gray casual clothes had a bluffing long knife on their waists, and they patrolled around with lanterns.Shen Yilan crouched in a corner, hiding her figure in the darkness and shadows.Just as the patrolling people passed by her, Shen Yilan slid into the house without making a sound.

The guard faintly saw some dark shadow, stopped in his footsteps, and immediately turned around.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Shen Yilan was stuck behind a doorpost, she raised her head, gently shook her hanging right hand, and a black cloth bag rolled out.The cloth bag came loose, and a snake crawled out of it, rushing straight to the courtyard.When the guard was widening his eyes to guard against the movement in the courtyard, he suddenly saw a small silver snake rushing towards him. He threw the lantern in fright, howled, and ran to another place.

In this way, the noise in the yard also covered the sound of Shen Yilan pushing the door.

She groped into the bedroom, took the painting and left.

This is a very successful mission!

Shen Yilan thought so, and jumped out of the yard with the painting on his back.When she left, only the reprimand of the lead guard could be heard in the yard, other than that, everything was quiet.

The Hou Mansion is located in the urban area of ​​Beijing, so it is the most prosperous place, and at night, it is also the place that the officers and soldiers are most concerned about.Therefore, she did not prepare a carriage outside the Hou's Mansion, and could only rely on her legs to walk straight to the inn she had booked before, take a nap, and then leave after dawn.

She didn't need to worry that Lord Qiu would send someone to arrest her. Presumably, Lord Qiu would think that Chu Liuxiang stole the painting and the Nine Dragon Cup, so he would only go to arrest Chu Liuxiang, not her.

Before she came, she planned everything out.

Shen Yilan tightened the rope that tied the painting to her body. She had already left the Hou's mansion, but when she got to a place, she stopped and said to herself: "I don't know what's going on with Chu Liuxiang." gone?"

It sounds like a "once in a thousand years" to be able to meet Bandit Shuai at the scene of the crime.

Shen Yilan turned in the direction of the Hou's mansion again by accident.

Just take a look, take a look, it won't cause trouble, right?

She was lucky enough to take a few more steps, but in just a few steps, the Hou's mansion was instantly brightly lit, and a moon-white figure stepped on the moon and disappeared without a trace under the moonlight.

Chu Liuxiang ran away!Chu Liuxiang ran away after stealing the Nine Dragon Cup!

Shen Yilan's eyes widened, and she also hurriedly turned around and ran away, but her lightness kung fu was not as good as Chu Liuxiang's, and the two masters couldn't catch up to Chu Liuxiang, but unexpectedly caught up with her inexplicably.

She dodged a sword attack and said, "I'm a woman, I'm not Chu Liuxiang!"

The person came to him for a while, and then moved more fiercely, chasing her, "Who are you! Are you Chu Liuxiang's accomplice? Stop quickly, and I can spare your life."

That's what he said, but he didn't leave any room for tricks.

Shen Yilan didn't dare to stop at all, and ran around after her, but she panicked for a moment, but ran into a dead end.

She turned around and drew her sword at the two of them, "You are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous."

If you can't escape, you can only fight to the death.

The two masters also stopped in their tracks, Fang Huan, the 'Plum Blossom Sword', stood holding his sword, and Cui Zihe, who was 'Two Palms Overturning the Sky', also put on a defensive posture.

Shen Yilan's sword waved briefly, but then stopped, looking at the two suspiciously, "Behind you..."

Cui Zihe sneered, and said, "Don't use this kind of trick to deceive us brothers, we..."

"There are indeed people."
