Chapter 55 – King of Thieves Xin Zhuo Enters the Prefectural Capital
Chapter 55 – King of Thieves Xin Zhuo Enters Fu Cheng
October 15th.
This day was uneventful for the rest of the eighteen states of the Great Zhou, but for Fufeng Prefecture, it was a special day- the
“Mu Lan Festival”.
This is a special festival in a small border place, it is said that three hundred years ago a plague swept through the neighboring provinces, resulting in a human tragedy of nine empty rooms out of ten, and then a fairy from the Divine Hidden Sect descended and cleansed the plague with the Green Arashi Grass, and from then on every year on this day, the people of all the neighboring provinces hold a grand ceremony to celebrate the event.
Although, fifty miles outside of the city, the great peripheral army is in a fierce battle with the rebels, Su Zhifu and the city’s several great family heads all went to treat the army.
Two hundred miles west of the city, in the Volsung Mountain Range, there are four more great families’ experts chasing after the bandit Xin Da Wang, with unknown results.
But what do these things have to do with the people in the city? They had full confidence in both the Great Zhou army and the four great families’ experts.
When the lanterns first came on, the streets and alleys were already filled with lanterns and competing colors.
The small store casually put on a few lights, to show celebration; luxury, Hall of Fame and large households, but the fire red lights dragon, long snake wonderful dance, but to the most colorful place, but also belongs to the two sides of the Canglan River, the hook bar, the lanterns of the flower building fancy, there are beautiful sister’s crispy shoulders, white skin, than that lanterns are still playful.
The people of the city ate dinner early, calling friends, wives and children on the streets.
The rich and noble families of the Miss, Mrs. dressed up in beautiful and delicate, in groups of three to five; gentlemen, powdered flowers, brocade clothing, in twos and threes.
“Da Dangjia, today is the right time to celebrate the festival, the streets and alleys are full of people, it’s suitable for taking hostages!”
“Are there any mistakes in the plan? We absolutely can’t make any mistakes this time, otherwise what’s the difference between throwing ourselves into the net?”
West of the city, in the bustling crowd, two figures walked side by side with their heads lowered, their voices extremely low.
It was none other than Xin Zhuo and Murong Huo.
Murong Hugh was dressed in tattered hemp clothes, his hair was randomly tied, and his face was dirty.
Xin Zhuo a moon white brocade robe, white python treading clouds boots, hair vertical crown, slightly powder foundation, lightly painted eyebrows, lightly painted vermilion.
The two men’s dress is basically switched.
After they decided to take advantage of Chen Guiyan and Murong Lei’s soft underbelly, they immediately arranged for Cui Ying’er to take them to hide in the intricate caves, even if the other party went up to the Mighty Tiger Walled City for a short period of time, and then without stopping for a moment, they mounted the horses that the Mighty Tiger Walled City had snatched up, and ran wildly, taking a whole day and a whole night.
Of course, Xin Zhuo will not ride a horse, but the horse are well-trained old horse, not kicking back, coupled with a good light power, up to run a ten miles eight miles will be familiar with.
“No!”
Murong Hugh came over, “There’s a war going on outside the city, the governor lord and all the great lords have gone to treat the troops, the city is hosting a festival, hundreds of thousands of people are pouring onto the streets, it’s too chaotic.
What’s more, everyone couldn’t possibly think that the mountain bandits who were chased by the four great families’ masters like lost dogs would dare to run into the city in a dignified manner.
Even if they find out, evacuating along our pre-designed route is still sound, don’t worry Big Boss, I grew up in the city.”
Xin Zhuo nodded: “One last confirmation, you will be the one to hijack Chen Guiyan’s illegitimate son and buy Thwarted Tendon and Bone Powder, I will take care of Murong Lei’s beloved concubine!”
That’s right! That big fierce Chen Guiyan fell in love with a poor scholar at the age of sixteen, and the indescribable rich girl, poor scholar dog blood drama occurred, and then because the gap between the family lineage is too large, the family opposed, the two secretly eloped, a year later Chen Guiyan gave birth to a son, but the scholar was sick and died, and then Chen Guiyan returned with her son for fear of discovery by the family, and secretly placed the child in foster care in a family, and now he can play the soy sauce.
Murong Lei is deeply in love with the Canglan River “Drunken Heart House” of the flower leader of the small Pear Blossom, for this reason, at all costs, but in order to prevent the discovery of the family, is still raised in the Drunken Heart House, selling their art is not for sale.
This is the weakness of the two.
Murong Hugh this guy used to be a good son model, in fact, secretly dirty, gossip, love to listen to other people’s secrets.
Murong Hugh responded: ”That’s right! I can not go to the drunkenness building, too many acquaintances, may be found, the big pawn is different, is that those constables, but also only from a distance to observe you, now you dress up, a new look, they look at first glance, I guess they can not think of, anyway, let’s play a gun and run, proper very much!”
Xin Zhuo and carefully scrutinized once again, found that it is indeed quite reliable, then put down his heart, carefully observe this “ancient” city. It is no exaggeration to say that, after coming here for so long and staying in the mountains, this is the first time I saw a human city, this ancient flavor, this style, and so many people, it is really a TV series can not be made, and I feel fresh when I look at everything.
Only, many people around looked at themselves from time to time with strange eyes, even Murong Huo looked at himself a few more times.
He couldn’t help but touch his face and pat down his body: “Where is it abnormal?”
Murong Hugh grinned straight: “Big Dangjia, after we dressed you up, did you not look in the mirror?”
“Where is the mirror in the mountain thieves’ den, is Sun Wu the one who looks at the mirror?” Xin Zhuo rushed at the few girls in front of him who were staring at him, smiled slightly and raised his eyebrows.
“Ah ……”
Several girls face “swish” red, shrieked, covered their faces and ran away, while running back to look through the cracks in their fingers.
Murong Hugh meaningfully laughed loudly: “The big boss, this is separated, first said, one and a half hours later, the northwest city wall by the dog hole rendezvous, don’t be entangled in the women.”
Finished, merged into the crowd, blinked out of sight.
Xin Zhuo took out the city map drawn by Murong Huo in his bosom and took a look at it, and rushed in the direction of Drunken Heart Building.
……
“Missy, come, come, come, it’s so lively here, someone is doing a magic trick.”
Fuchun Street, in the crowd, the maid Dong Ling was wearing a tight little dress, holding a sugar gourd in her hand, running most cheerfully.
Behind her, surrounded by a group of maids and guards, Su Miao Jin, a white jacket, with a cloud bun, with a delicate figure, decorated with a jade pendant around her waist, lightly sketched and lightly made up, her knitted brows and smile are always appropriate.
“You slow down.”
She softly opened her mouth, her voice was like a hundred spirits softly chirping, gentle and beautiful.
“Greetings, Great Miss Su!”
The people wandering around couldn’t help but cast adoring, respectful gazes in unison, never mind whether or not Eldest Miss Su had been captured by the mountain bandits, it had nothing to do with them.
Even if the jade was stained a little bit, how many people could afford to buy it?
“There is no need to be polite, everyone feel free to do as you please.”
Su Miao Jin nodded slightly, Shu Duan was polite and impeccable.
Not far behind the dropout of Jiang Hezhu and other gentlemen, the cold day lightly shaking the folding fan, the eyes never left Su Miaojin.
“Beautiful ah, is really beautiful!”
The fat male regretfully shook his head, “I’ve never seen such a perfect girl, too good looking, that is, the various state capitals flower girl, and which can be compared, a pity ……”
A thin male cheap smile: “In fact, is not their own scoop, but also does not matter, alone ornamental, is also a beautiful thing, not to mention that her father is the county king of the Royal Highness, once climbed, the future why not worry about the leveling of the clouds?”
Jiang Hezhu sighed: “also on the Jiang family can be discarded at will, really worthy of a thousand years of gate valve, the royal princesses with the preferred marriage portal!”
“Silence, brothers and sisters!”
Behind a tall man’s face suddenly serious: “These two families, is not our small family in the border can be discussed in private? If any of the Nanli Humanshan veteran pawns or the Jiang Clan’s Iron Floating Guards pass by, all of you won’t be able to live as a whole clan.”
The gentlemen couldn’t help but stutter their faces and obediently silenced their voices.
