Volume 2: A sudden change in the prison, a red-clothed man goes out to find a thief Chapter 185 He is laughing wildly
In the corner of the inn's backyard, Li Si put his hands in his sleeves and stood with Banjiexian. The wind was still a little cold at night. He didn't know why, but since he got sick, he began to be afraid of cold. Maybe this was the so-called sequelae.
"So, is there anything that can't be said in class?" A gust of cold wind blew by, and Li Si helplessly used some of his internal energy to dispel the coldness on his body.
"Aren't you afraid that those people from the martial arts world who are staying overnight will hear it?" Banjiexian said this as a matter of course. He looked around the yard and saw that there was no one around. Then he came up to Li Si and spoke in a low voice.
"I've been paying special attention these past two days and have found out the purpose of the gangsters' visit. Do you know why they came?"
He was a spectator who didn't mind the trouble and even smiled slyly as he spoke, as if he had discovered something very funny.
"Don't keep me in suspense." Li Si patted him on the shoulder and said with a dark face, "If you have something to say, please say it quickly."
Although it was just a casual slap, because Li Si was originally using internal energy, he accidentally released that trace of internal energy when he made the move. With a dull sound, Banjiexian felt his body sink and he almost fell to the ground.
"Hiss!" He took a breath of cold air, held his shoulders, and complained in a low voice: "What are you doing? Do you want to break my old bones?"
At the same time, he was secretly shocked. It had only been a few years since they last met, but Li Si's internal energy had become so much stronger.
How does this guy practice? Doesn't he stop day or night?
"Uh." Li Si awkwardly withdrew his hand, knowing that he was in the wrong, and apologized: "Well, I'm sorry, I just broke through a level of internal strength recently, so I can't stop my hand."
However, when he said this, he also looked at Banjiexian deeply. In fact, he was never quite sure about Banjiexian's martial arts skills.
Now it seems that this old ghost's martial arts skills are definitely not bad.
Because the internal energy he had just injected into the half-immortal body was like a stone sinking into the sea, and did not cause the slightest ripple at all.
You know, now his internal strength has reached the highest level, and his energy is not much different from that of the old monk in Jinshan Temple.
The fact that Banjiexian was able to handle it so calmly shows that he has not lived in vain for such a long time.
"Just be careful if you know you can't control it ." Feeling unlucky, Banjiexian rolled his eyes at Li Si, curled his lips, and said while moving his shoulders.
"Those Jianghu people outside are here to look for a treasure."
"Treasure?" Li Si was stunned. He had not expected that there would be a treasure in this small city of Mingzhou, so he continued to ask.
"What treasure?"
"Hmph." A smile appeared on Banjiexian's face again. He raised a finger and shook his head.
"The treasure of the thief saint."
"The treasure of the thief saint..." Li Si repeated subconsciously, and then he realized something and waved his hand to knock off the half of the immortal's hand that was standing in front of him.
"Bullshit, what treasure can I have?"
"Hey~" Banjiexian, who had learned his lesson, took a step back quickly to avoid being hit by Li Si, and continued speaking while waving his fingers.
"The key is not whether you have it or not, but whether people in the martial arts world think you have it or not."
What he said was indeed true. No matter whether Li Si had the treasure or not, as long as people in the martial arts world thought he had it, people would always come looking for it, and Mingzhou City would never have peace.
"Hu." Li Si let out a breath and frowned.
"What should we do then?"
"How should I know what to do?" Banjiexian spread his hands helplessly.
When Li Si came here, he had a bad feeling. But he didn't expect that Li Si's ability to cause trouble was so strong that even if he did nothing, he could still make everyone in the martial arts world know what he heard. Should we say that the title of the Thief Saint is too big?
"In any case." Putting his hand on Li Si's shoulder and patting him, Banjiexian said with rare comfort.
"Just be open-minded. The saying that there is always a way out when you reach the mountain is true in most cases."
"What about in rare cases?" Li Si looked at his clothes and asked with a raised eyebrow.
Banjiexian paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and spoke earnestly.
"Then you'll have to pray for the best."
As a person who has been hiding his identity and fleeing for so many years, he has always had a say in this regard.
"But, I saidah."
Under the moonlight in the courtyard, Banjiexian suddenly approached Li Si and asked in a low voice: "You have been running around outside for so many years, you really didn't hide anything, otherwise tell me, I will definitely not tell anyone."
"So what do you think, am I hiding something?" Li Si, who was feeling upset, smiled, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Banjiexian "gently".
"Uh." He shuddered for no reason and shook his head.
"I didn't hide it. I definitely didn't hide it. Who would hide that kind of thing? Do you hide it? I don't hide it anyway."
…
After a night, it is another morning.
The thin morning light shines through the roof tiles, making the eaves look green.
Xiao Muchu knew that Li Si had come to Mingzhou City and settled in a place called Qianjialou.
He even knew that Li Si disguised himself as a woman in order to attract business. This was a very interesting thing, but unfortunately he did not see it with his own eyes.
But it didn't matter, he was here now anyway, because this matter was becoming more and more interesting. So interesting that even he wanted to get involved.
Li Si must be quite upset at this moment. Thinking of Li Si's face, which might be showing an embarrassed expression, Xiao Muchu couldn't wait to see him.
Thinking about this, in the middle of the street, Xiao Muchu's mouth corners raised a little, and his pace secretly quickened.
Outside Qianjialou, Li Si, just like in the past, sat by the door feeding the wild cats that came to beg for food before opening.
After the wild cat finished eating, it licked his palm twice with its tongue, and the slightly itchy feeling made him chuckle helplessly, causing several pedestrians on the street to glance sideways.
At this moment, a figure suddenly stopped in front of Li Si, blocking the light from the sky and scaring away the wild cat.
"Miss, do you have any new employees in your store recently?" a gentle voice asked.
New guy, Li Si was stunned for a moment, raised his head, looked at the person in front of him and answered.
"This, I don't think so."
Recently, the store has not hired anyone else except him.
Then, he saw the man's appearance clearly. He was wearing brocade clothes, holding a jade fan, and had a foxy smile on his face.
There was no doubt that Li Si recognized this man, his name was Xiao Muchu. And Xiao Muchu, of course, also recognized him.
In front of Li Si, Xiao Muchu held the closed folding fan in his hand, and the expression on his face was frozen. After a while, he suddenly opened the folding fan and covered his mouth. Then, his shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably.
He is laughing.
Li Si sat by the door, looking at Xiao Muchu's appearance, his face getting darker and darker. Even if Xiao Muchu didn't make any sound, he could still feel it.
He must be laughing!
