Chapter 130 The Big Thief and the Little Thief

Chapter 130 The Big Thief and the Little Thief

"I find that you are not only naive, but also a little arrogant." Lan Ling was slightly startled and retorted without any hesitation.

"How do you know if you haven't tried it?"

"He is at least in the fifth heaven, and you are in the third heaven with big, high, hands."

Zhao Yushu curled his lips. Ever since he went to the government office to attend the banquet, Zhao Yushu no longer hid his cultivation level. Otherwise, Lao Lan would have been wondering, you ascended to the third heaven in front of me in the Mountain God Hall, how come you fell down again? Come here, let your uncle check your body.

But seeing that Old Zhao was not afraid, Lan Ling still chose to believe him, and the two of them chatted casually, as if they had never met Wang Shaolin and Master Qin, and just walked all the way to the government office.

At the gate of the government office, a little girl with anxious eyes was standing at the gate looking around. Zhao Yushu had some impression of her. When he first met Lan Ling at the post station, this girl was next to Lan Ling.

"It seems that your father doesn't know that you came to find me. Look how anxious this girl is. By the way, is her name Xiao Cui or Xiao Hua or something like that?" Zhao Yushu said with a teasing smile.

Lan Ling glared at him: "Why, your two maids have these two names? Xiaocao, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yushu suddenly felt a little guilty. He didn't know if Mo'er was his maid, so he quickly argued: "I don't have a maid! Hey, hello, Miss Xiaocao, it's the second time we meet."

Xiaocao looked at him suspiciously, as if recalling when they first met. After thinking about it, she didn't show any expression of sudden enlightenment, which made Zhao Yushu fully understand his appearance again.

"Miss, the master has been looking for you everywhere but can't find you. Come in with me."

"I'm an adult, how could I get lost? Brother Zhao, I'll go in first. I'll find you at the academy when things are ready." Lan Ling waved her hand, and the Buddhist beads on her wrist were warm and pleasant.

Zhao Yushu waved her hand and said goodbye, then turned and left. She just used the word "make". Could it be that the thing she wanted to give me was made by hand?

Behind Zhao Yushu, Lan Ling walked forward with Xiaocao.

"Miss, who is he? He said he was meeting him for the second time, but why can't I remember meeting him before?"

"Do you still remember that on our way here, before I went to Jiufeng Mountain, I met a gentleman who loved wine at the post station?"

Xiao Cao recalled for a long time: "Oh~ I remember now, he also said he would send you some wine, is it wine this time?"

"He hasn't returned to Xijing yet, so where did the wine come from? I told you a few days ago that the young master Zhao I met on Jiufeng Mountain was him. I said it at the time, but you're so stupid that you can't even remember it."

"Why should I remember him? There are so many people in the world. If I remember them all, I would be exhausted. But coming back to the point, the young master is here. It's not good for you to get so close to this young master Zhao, young lady."

Lan Ling paused. "Don't say that the engagement was arranged by my father. Even if it was arranged by me, Mr. Zhao and I are good friends who share life and death. We are innocent. I am close to him, and I don't need Wang Shaolin's consent. It just so happens that my father is here. I was just about to talk to him about this engagement."

Zhao Yushu is in a very good mood now. No matter what his purpose is, at least fewer people will starve to death outside the city. And Lan Ling clearly wants to cancel the engagement. If this plot happened in a world where people play with fire, it could be the main plot.

If Lan Ling really wanted to marry Wang Shaolin, Zhao Yushu would feel really uncomfortable.

While I'm in a good mood, I might as well go to the market and buy myself a handy weapon to conceal my identity. I gave the Fire Patterned Sword to Black Deer. At least I don't have to worry about learning a sword or knife technique anymore. I should practice the few secret books left by Jade Rat.

Nanyang's commercial district has been much busier than usual these days, mainly because the prefect has spent a lot of effort to transport huge amounts of supplies in from outside just in case. In addition to the normal tax collectors and patrolling police on the streets, even the firefighters who usually don't show up have begun patrolling everywhere, and there are also many teams of armored soldiers walking around just in case.

Zhao Yushu casually visited two blacksmith shops. There were quite a few weapons, but they were all ordinary weapons and nothing caught his eye.

Zhao Yushu left in disappointment. Just as he passed a noodle shop, he heard a commotion in the shop. "Thief! Don't let him get away!"

Zhao Yushu looked back and saw a boy of about twelve or thirteen leaping out of the noodle shop. He twisted his body to avoid the hands that were grabbing him, and rushed out of the crowd with incredible agility and ran straight towards him.

"Catch him! Catch him quickly!" The waiter, the patrolling Wu Hou and several enthusiastic people behind him shouted and chased after them.

The young man grabbed a big steamed bun in one hand and ate it while running. He had a smile on his face, as if it would be worth it even if he was caught and beaten up.

Zhao Yushu chose not to help either side. He was just lawful and kind, not a saint. It was obvious that the boy had been hungry for a long time, but the noodle shop owner was also running a small business and it was not easy. If the boy had not stolen anything, perhaps he could be kind and buy him some food. But since he had already stolen, he could just take care of himself.

It’s okay, young man. When I stole things from Prince Fu’s Palace, no one helped me. I had to rely on myself. Now run as fast as you can.

So Zhao Yushu turned sideways, the young man rushed over, and then a group of people followed.

Zhao Yushu shook his head. He didn't know how this kid sneaked into the city. Judging from his speed, he must have gotten a lot of food in the past two days.

After visiting several more shops, he still couldn't find any weapons that satisfied him. As it was almost noon, Zhao Yushu decided to just find a random restaurant to have an afternoon meal so that he could save some space for Miss Lu's dinner in the evening.

Seeing a restaurant with a sign hanging in the distance, Zhao Yushu thought for a moment and took a shortcut through a small alley. From the entrance of the alley, he heard a group of people shouting and looking for someone.

It can't be that you haven't caught up yet, it's been almost half an hour, you guys are really patient.

Just as he raised his foot, Zhao Yushu's ears moved. He heard a very slight sound of clothes rubbing against each other coming from a pile of debris not far away, as if someone was moving gently inside.

If you hadn't opened your ears, it would be hard to hear.

Old Zhao walked to the pile of junk and stopped suddenly. Then he heard a sudden louder noise inside. He must have been frightened and shivered.

"Come in and take a look!" Four or five men armed with sticks rushed into the alley. They were stunned when they saw Zhao Yushu and subconsciously stepped aside to let Zhao Yushu pass.

"It's okay, you go first." Zhao Yushu also turned sideways, standing in front of the pile of debris, and made a gesture of invitation.

A few people looked at the pile of junk, as if they wanted to look for it, but in the end they felt embarrassed to ask this young man who looked like a scholar to move aside, so they thanked him and filed out.

After they left, Zhao Yushu patted the pile of sundries and asked, "How much of their stuff did you steal?"

The pile of debris moved, a bamboo basket was moved away, and the young man came out with a grin: "Thank you, sir. I wish you can be admitted to the White Horse Academy as soon as possible, and be crowned a king and a prime minister. See you later!"

Zhao Yushu grabbed the collar of the boy who was about to run away and said, "I am a cultivator. You can try to run out of this alley under my nose."

The young man turned around and gave an ugly bitter smile: "Brother, let me go."
