Chapter 421
421 The ransom (1)
Xu Qi ‘an sat on the big chair, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, “”Tell me.”
Miss Rongrong pursed her red lips and said, “”Lord Xu, since you’ve heard of my name, you must be familiar with the thousand-faced female cat burglar, right?”
“I’ve heard of it.” Xu Qi ‘an touched her chin and looked at her. “You’re saying that the one who stole my treasure was actually the thousand-faced female cat burglar?
“Min yinluo, help me find the information on the female cat burglar.”
Min Shan turned around and instructed the clerk to look for it. After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, the clerk came over with a booklet. He opened the corresponding page and handed it to Xu Qi ‘an.
There wasn’t much information on the thousand-faced female cat burglar. It only recorded that she was a very powerful thief who was a loner and didn’t know her teacher or background. She had committed countless crimes, big and small, and had never been caught.
This record provided Xu Qi ‘an with two pieces of information:First, the other party was not an ordinary thief. He had committed a series of Major Crimes and had never failed.
Second, the female cat burglar was only good at stealing and didn’t have much destructive power. Therefore, the night watchman didn’t pay much attention to her since there were only a few records in the Yamen.
“He’s a very professional cat burglar.” Xu Qi ‘an closed the booklet and returned it to the clerk. He asked Rongrong, who was tied up, ”
“Why did the thousand-faced female cat burglar disguise herself as you?”
who knows? ” miss Rongrong sneered. maybe he’s jealous of me for being so resourceful.
…….. It seemed that they had a fight, so they were retaliated against. Xu Qi ‘an grabbed his saber and hung it back on his waist.”Min yinluo, I’ll leave him to you. You can’t let him go without my permission. It’s useless no matter who comes.”
After that, Xu Qi ‘an rushed out of the Yamen, rode his beloved little mare, and galloped to the outer city.
He had no choice but to ask Daoist priest Golden Lotus for help. Fortunately, he knew where Daoist priest Golden Lotus lived even though he had never been there before.
The sun was gradually moving west, and the curfew would be over in two hours. He had to find the female thief before the curfew and get the fragment of the book of the nether world back. Otherwise, he could only return to the Yamen and ask Wei Yuan to sign an arrest warrant.
Daoist priest Golden Lotus lived in the north of the city, in a small courtyard facing the river. The main feature of the residence was that a tiny Paddy man was standing on the roof of the main house.
When Xu Qi ‘an arrived, he knocked on the door of the courtyard. It was quiet inside, and no one answered.
“The Taoist priest went out?”
Xu Qi ‘an climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard. He pushed open the door of the main house. The house was clean and tidy. On the bed, Golden Lotus Daoist priest was lying with a peaceful expression, as if he had passed away.
Xu Qi ‘an called out ” Taoist priest ” a few times, but seeing that he was still asleep, he knew that the old man had gone out on the cat again.
Why did he suddenly develop such a strange habit … What should she do? she didn’t know when the Taoist priest would come back … Xu Qi ‘an frowned and thought for a moment. He had an idea.
He strolled to the side of the bed, raised his hands, and slapped the Taoist priest with both hands.
As a mature senior in the pugilistic world, Daoist priest Golden Lotus should know how to protect his own body. He must have had a backup plan. As long as his body was injured, he would immediately sense it, and even …
“Pa pa pa!”
Only the sound of slapping could be heard in the room.
After a long time, Xu Qi ‘an heard Taoist master Golden Lotus’ emotionless voice from the door. “What are you doing?”
The clapping stopped immediately. Xu Qi ‘an snapped out of her daze in surprise and looked at the door. “Daoist priest, you’re back.”
An orange cat stood by the door and looked at him.
Xu Qi ‘an saw that Golden Lotus Daoist priest did not speak, so he quickly explained, “”I have something urgent to look for you, but you were not in the courtyard. I guess you must have left a backup plan in your physical body, so I could only do this.”
The orange cat’s voice was still emotionless.”Then did you guess that I sensed you the moment you entered the courtyard?”
In fact, Daoist priest Golden Lotus had sensed that there were guests when I entered the hospital … “I don’t know,” Xu Qi ‘an said, confused.
The orange cat nodded and strode into the house. He jumped onto the bed and asked, “”What’s the matter?”
“My fragment of the Book of the Earth was stolen.”
He immediately told Golden Lotus Taoist priest about how he had encountered the thousand-faced female thief and how he had mistakenly captured miss Rongrong.
“After the fragments of the Book of the Netherworld recognize its master, outsiders can’t see the letter and can’t take out the things inside. You can rest assured.” The orange cat was very calm.
“So when I took it from you, it was an ownerless item?”
“The earth sect’s Dao head has wiped away the imprint.”
Xu Qi ‘an nodded. He already knew about this. let’s not delay any further. Let’s go and get the Book of the Netherworld fragments.
“Follow me.”
The orange cat jumped off the bed and ran out of the house. Xu Qi ‘an chased after it and found it squatting on the horse’s back, its head tilted, waiting for him quietly.
Why didn’t the Taoist priest use his physical body? Even if he had a fetish for sleeping with cats, he was going to get down to business … Could it be that to him, there was no difference between using his physical body and primordial spirit?
Puzzled, Xu Qi ‘an untied the reins and touched the little mare’s face. He felt wronged to let another man ride her once.
Tap tap tap tap …
The young mare galloped wildly on the wide street, and the pedestrians consciously avoided her. No one was blind enough to block the middle of the road.
This was an era where people gave way to their cars.
“Turn left!”
The orange cat suddenly said.
Xu Qi ‘an turned the horse around and controlled the pony to complete a beautiful drift. Then, the pony turned left.
Under Golden Lotus Taoist’s command, Xu Qi ‘an turned from the North City to the East City and came to an Inn. Golden Lotus Taoist said, “”The fragment of The Earth Book is inside.”
As he spoke, Xu Qi ‘an felt a sense of connection, as if they were connected by blood. It was very mysterious, and he could clearly sense the location of the Book of the Netherworld’s fragment.
The fragment of The Earth Book and its host could interact at close range.
