C72 Pursue Qu Yuan's Pendant

The next day, in an inn in Miluo Town, Shao Jian asked everyone: "Do any of you know any of the more famous robbers in this area?"

Hearing that, everyone looked at him with a puzzled expression, only to hear Zhang Jiming say: "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Shao Jian laughed and said: "Because I want to find out who stole Qu Yuan's pendant."

Zhang Wudie looked at him in shock, her face was filled with disbelief, and then she said: "Why do you care too? There are so many things in the world that you can't control? "

Shao Jian said: "Since I met with this matter, maybe I am the fated fated one, so I am responsible for finding Qu Yuan's pendant, whether or not I care about other matters, we can talk about it later."

After hearing what he said, everyone could not help but nod their heads, only to hear Yang Zongbao saying: "Shao Jian is right, we will also help pay attention to the suspicious people that have appeared in this area over the past few days."

Zhang Jiming waited for Yang Zongbao to finish speaking, then said: "We will have to ask Qiu Shiyuan about this, with his experience in the martial arts world for decades, he should be more familiar with these things." With that, he smiled at Qiu Shiyuan, who was standing by his side. Everyone then turned to look at him.

Qiu Shiyuan saw that everyone was looking at him, waiting for an answer, he immediately thought for a while, then suddenly, he heard a voice calling out to him in surprise: "I've got it, there was once a man named Li Zhang who used to steal from the martial arts world, he lived in the upper reaches of Miluo River, but after so much time, I wonder if we can still find him." With that, he looked at everyone, and then at Shao Jian.

Everyone became excited when they heard that, and Shao Jian said: "Then let's go look around, and hope that he still lives there."

Qiu Shiyuan nodded his head: "As long as we can find him, even if it is not related to him, maybe we can get some useful information out of him."

Shao Jian smiled and asked: "How far is this place from Li Zhang's residence?"

Qiu Shiyuan thought for a while and then said: "At most, we will travel for two hours, and find a place to hide near the river bank near Miluo River. Why don't we go now, what do you think, Young Noble?" With that, he looked at Shao Jian, waiting for his reply.

Shao Jian said: "Alright, then let's go now." After saying that, he suddenly thought of something, and said to Qiu Shiyuan with a wry smile: "Can you stop calling me young master from now on? It sounds weird. " Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Zhang Wudie became anxious upon hearing that, this was the title that she had personally bestowed to Shao Jian, with her personality, how could she let him change it so easily?

Shao Jian said helplessly: "If that's the case, then I'll just call you Miss Wu Die in the future. Isn't this kind of address pretty nice too?" With that, he smiled at Zhang Wudie.

Zhang Wudie scoffed, "Don't call me Shao Jian, you dead wood, rotten wood, ah … "How infuriating." Everyone began to laugh when they heard this.

Shao Jian laughed bitterly: "That's enough, you don't need to argue anymore, it's more important to get down to proper business." With that, he looked at the rest of the people, then stood up and picked up the black iron sword and walked out of the house with everyone.

Just then, Little Kang ran out from the other room and pulled Zhang Wudie's hand: "Big Sister Wu Die, where are you guys going now? Can you bring me along? "

Zhang Wudie smiled, patted his head and said: "We are going to take care of some matters, Big Sister Wu Die will definitely take you when you grow up, now you should just stay here and let the five uncles play with you, okay?" The five uncles she was referring to were all Five Swords in Guan Zhong s. She did not expect that the Five Swords in Guan Zhong, who had once shook the entire martial arts world, would now be ordered by her to accompany her child to play. It seemed like Wu Jian was helpless against this unruly and willful Third Miss.

"Every time I say I'm still young, I won't care about you anymore," the little Kang muttered unhappily. Saying that, she shook off Zhang Wudie's hand and turned around.

Shao Jian smiled faintly as he walked up to Kang and said, "If you listen to me obediently, when I grow up, I will definitely teach you sword techniques. How is it?"

The previously unhappy Xiao Kang hurriedly turned around. He was now dancing in excitement as he said to Shao Jian: "Big Brother Shao Jian can't lie to me."

Shao Jian laughed and said, "When have I ever lied to you? Stay here properly, then we will leave now." Little Kang chuckled as he nodded his head. No one thought that this little guy would have to use conditions to coax him. They were all amused by him. Truly a petty person.

The group of people left Miluo Town, following the Miluo River all the way upstream. It was already close to noon, the bright sun was shining brightly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, a few birds were not alarmed when they saw people, and they let out a few clear chirps, which passed by Shao Jian and his group.

Right now was the time for the hundreds of flowers to bloom in May, but on both sides of Miluo River, willow trees fluttered, the land was covered by a field of green flowers, all the way to the end of one's line of sight. Numerous colorful butterflies continuously flapped their beautiful wings, freely dancing amidst the flowers, as though they wanted to compete with the green flowers and grass. On the Miluo River, a blue wave could be seen a thousand miles away. The ark was dotted as a gentle breeze blew past, instantly causing ripples on the surface of the river. Nearby, a fishing boat was slowly sailing past, causing a blue wave to gently lick the riverbank, creating a beautiful melody. Between the heaven and earth, the sight of movement brought endless glory to the Miluo River, and it also provided the perfect material for the literati to use. They were truly grateful to the heavens for bringing such a beautiful and beautiful scenery of nature!

At this time, Zhang Wudie gave a bland and elegant smile to Shao Jian, who was beside him, and started chasing after the colorful butterflies in the flowers, and from time to time, she would let out a clear laughter, as if she was competing with the colorful butterflies to see who was the real fairy. Zhang Wudie who was dressed in a white dress was jumping, chasing and playing around in front of everyone. She even picked up some fragrant flowers one after another, just like a lively and lively fairy who was dancing happily in the midst of tens of thousands of flowers.

When everyone saw her happily playing amongst the flowers, they couldn't help but compare her current appearance to that of a transcendent and refined Butterfly Fairy or Hundred Flowers Fairy. It was as if she was completely different from the usual unruly and willful, mischievous Zhang Wudie, who only knew how to behave from day to night. Everyone looked at Zhang Wudie who was not far away, and then looked at Shao Jian who was beside them, and smiled.

Su Sanshaoxiaozhuodao: "Shao Jian, your luck with women is truly great, to think that you would possess both a unruly and headstrong Zhang Wudie and an aloof Zhang Wudie who is like a fairy."

Shao Jian laughed, "Don't make fun of me."

Zhang Jiming, Chen Shaofeng and the others all laughed, "How are you teasing me? Don't be modest." After saying that, everyone burst out into laughter.

After a while, the group of people followed Qiu Shiyuan's lead and entered a patch of reeds along a small path along the river. After circling around a few times, the field of vision gradually widened, and they saw an extremely hidden thatched cottage not far away, which was probably the place Qiu Shiyuan talked about. They did not expect him to hide himself so well, let alone the common folk who would see him hiding away from the reeds.

When he arrived at the entrance of the thatched cottage, just as Shao Jian was about to knock on the door, Qiu Shiyuan hurriedly stopped him.

Qiu Shiyuan turned around and said softly to Shao Jian and the others: "Looks like this guy has already noticed us. Leaving two people here, we should quickly go to the back of the house to intercept him.

When the crowd heard him talk, they nodded their heads thinking that stealing in the Jianghu was indeed different. It was actually very sensitive, even the slightest sound could be heard. In the end, everyone decided to leave Chen Shaofengyuchenjianbing and the other two to wait at the main entrance. Shao Jian, Zhang Wudie and Zhang Jiming, along with the Su San Xiao, would quietly move towards the back of the house under Qiu Shiyuan's lead.

Just as they arrived at the back of the house, they saw a person leap out from the back window. He rolled on the ground, and just as he was about to flee into the reeds, four or five figures suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Qiu Shiyuan chuckled: "Li Zhang, don't work so hard, let's go back inside the house." So this man was Li Zhang.

He lifted his eyes and fearfully sized up the few people in front of him, and in the end, his gaze landed on Qiu Shiyuan as he said in a trembling voice, "Fei … Sky Mouse, Qiu … "Why is Lord Qiu you?"

From his panicked expression, it could be seen what kind of reputation Qiu Shiyuan had in the evil way. According to his seniority of being a bandit leader in the martial arts world, Li Zhang had met the bandit's ancestor today.

Qiu Shiyuan chuckled and said: "Other than me, who else would be able to find your residence?" Glancing at Li Zhang, he saw that both of his eyes were twitching, and he said: "Don't hold any hope, I think you ten Li Zhang's should also not think of escaping today. If you don't believe me, just try it yourself." With that said, he gave Shao Jian a look.

Shao Jian nodded his head and said to Li Zhang: "We have no ill intentions in coming to find you, as long as you can answer a few questions."

After a while, Li Zhang slowly lifted his head and said: "Alright." Then, he brought his men over to the front of the house, seeing that there were still three handsome young men guarding here, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat, and thought to himself: "Looks like Qiu Shiyuan is right, just looking at their Qi, no matter which one of them was the one, they would not be able to receive three moves.

The group of people followed Li Zhang into the hut, and they saw him looking at the people in front of him with a terrified expression and his voice trembled as he asked: "You … Anything you need... Just ask, I know... "I will definitely tell you."

Shao Jian laughed: "Alright, then I'll ask you, do you know about Qu Yuan's tomb being stolen?"

After a while, Li Zhang said: "I heard."

He looked at Shao Jian with doubt in his heart: "Who is this guy? Look at how young he is with such a profound cultivation, to think that he has so many people by his side, and even Qiu Shiyuan is willing to do such a thing for him. "It seems like this person is not simple."

Zhang Wudie saw that he was deep in thought, and asked loudly: "Hey, don't think about making any mistakes, or else …" She didn't finish her sentence because she wanted to scare him to see how he would react.

Sure enough, this move worked, Li Zhang said in panic: "Nothing …. "Nothing." Then, he looked at the question that Shao Jian was waiting for him to answer.

Shao Jian asked: "Then do you know who exactly stole the tomb?"

Li Zhang said: "This … I don't know. "

Qiu Shiyuan saw that he was not speaking the truth, and shouted: "Still not answering honestly."

Li Zhang said with a sullen face, "Master Qiu, I really don't know. How could I dare lie to you?

Qiu Shiyuan said: "Don't think about playing tricks."

Shao Jian glanced at Li Zhang, and said. "It seems that he really does not know about this matter."

Li Zhang saw that someone believed his words and quickly replied: "Yes, yes, I am not lying to you guys. I have been wandering around in the Jianghu until yesterday." As he spoke till here, he seemed to recall something important, and spoke to the group of people: "However, I heard from a friend in the way that someone once paid a hefty sum of money to ask him to investigate the situation around the Qu Yuan Tomb. From what I see, maybe he knows about the inside story."

Shao Jian nodded and asked: "Then do you know the specific location of where that person will be staying?"

Li Zhang replied: "I know, but I'm not sure if I can find him yet."

Zhang Wudie asked anxiously: "Then where is he? "Hurry up and speak."

Li Zhang glanced at the beautiful young miss who was talking to him, and sensed that her body was releasing a Qi that was different from normal people, then he said: "He is often not at home, why don't I go find him today, and you guys come back tomorrow?"

Shao Jian thought for a while, then said: "Alright, then we'll come back tomorrow."

Qiu Shiyuan glared at him and said: "Don't try to play any tricks on me, or else you'll have as much fun as me.

Li Zhang quickly replied: "Master Qiu, don't worry, I definitely won't."

Shao Jian nodded and said: "Alright, we'll trust you this once." After saying that, everyone walked out of the thatched cottage.

, on the other hand, saw that they were finally gone, and immediately sat on the ground, perspiring in cold sweat. Qiu Shiyuan was an extremely famous person in the underworld, as long as he was in the business of stealing, no matter who it was, they would call him 'Master Qiu'.

On the way, Yang Zongbao asked with some apprehension: "Shao Jian, how much credibility do you think this person has?"

Shao Jian shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that either." With that, he looked at Qiu Shiyuan to see what he had in mind.

Qiu Shiyuan said: "I don't think he would dare to lie to us, we'll see when he comes tomorrow." Everyone nodded their heads to express their agreement, and once they stepped out of the reeds, they walked straight back towards Miluo River.
