At dusk, Xu Ning handed over the errand, took off his clothes, picked up the golden gun, and headed home.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw two maids coming to the door in a panic. Xu Ning saw them, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you so worried?"

The two maids looked at each other and said timidly: "The official went out at five o'clock, but the thieves sneaked in and only stole the leather box on the beam!"

Xu Ning's heart sank when he heard the words, and he felt a burst of bitterness rolling out from under his pubic area. At this time, Madam Xu came forward and faced Xu Ning's gaze. She didn't dare to look at her, and Xu Ning sighed.

He shouted with a bitter look on his face.

"It doesn't matter anything else. This pair of wild goose feather armor is a treasure passed down from our ancestors for four generations. I was afraid that there would be something wrong, so I tied it to the beam. How many people wanted to see it, but they just rejected it. It's in vain to raise my voice this time."

Others laughed at me; now I have lost it, what can I do?"

When Mrs. Xu heard about it, she hurriedly comforted her and said, "My lord, please don't be anxious. The three brothers Zhang who have already married me have asked around in Bianliang City. They said that the lord will reply after he returns home. I'm afraid he's coming soon now."

Hearing this, Xu Ning's face condensed. He knew that Zhang San, who lived in the courtyard next to him, was also a figure on the streets of Bianliang City in the past. Although he was from various religions, he was still well-informed. Now he is following the man from Yingshui Pavilion.

The boss, with his different appearance, asked him to inquire about this matter, but he found the wrong person.

Xu Ning entered the courtyard, sat down and drank heavily, and said in a deep voice: "I wonder who stole it? Did the thief leave any clues?"

"But he left a clue. The thief put a piece of paper under the teapot in the room. I gave it to Brother Zhang San in the morning. It said: If you want to hunt for treasure armor, we will meet you at the pavilion ten miles outside the city at noon tomorrow.

!" Madam Xu quickly replied.

When Xu Ning heard this, his heart suddenly became cold, and he sighed bitterly: "What this thief wants is not Xu Ning's armor!"

To work in the Tianjia Palace, one must be someone who is accustomed to understanding people's hearts and has a delicate mind to avoid making mistakes. After hearing his wife's words, Xu Ning naturally guessed that the thief who stole the armor was not doing it for his ancestral heritage.

Yan Ling Jia, if he were an ordinary person, he would not have left a note saying when he would meet when he stole something; this thief must have used Jia to show off and let himself do something very shady. If it was a serious matter, he would not have committed such a crime.

The usual method is just to visit and talk at home.

While Xu Ning was bowing his head in deep thought, maid Mei Xiang led Zhang San in. Seeing this, Xu Ning stood up and greeted her, cupping her hands and saying, "I'm so rude, I'm ashamed to trouble Brother Zhang San to work for someone."

Seeing this, Zhang San hurriedly replied: "Teacher Xu has offended my little brother. We are all neighbors here and we should help each other. Normally, my little brother admires Teacher Xu very much as a person and dares not to work hard to help."

Seeing that Zhang San was telling the truth, Xu Ning stopped being polite and asked to take a seat. He asked the maid to serve herbal tea and said, "Have brothers Zhang San found out the traces of the thief today?"

"The thief is nowhere to be found now, but Teacher Xu's armor has been found." Zhang San responded seriously after hearing this.

Xu Ning suddenly took possession of the words he heard and asked eagerly: "Brother, are you serious about what you said?"

"Of course it is true." Zhang San smiled slightly, and then said: "But now this armor is in the hands of my boss. I would like to ask Teacher Xu to come to Yingshui Pavilion and return it with his own hands."

After hearing this, Xu Ning frowned slightly. The owner of Zhang San was the owner of Yingshui Pavilion. Now a man of the hour in Bianliang City and a guest of many ministers in the court, he seemed to be called Yan Qing. How could such a person help me find armor? What else do you ask me to do?

Zhang San saw Xu Ning frowning and knew what he was thinking, and said: "Teacher Xu, please don't misunderstand me. My boss has no bad intentions. It's just that the identity of the person who stole Teacher Xu's treasure armor is extraordinary. There are some words for Mr. Xu." I need to talk to Teacher Xu in person."

After hearing this, Xu Ning believed it a little bit. He relaxed his brows slightly and said to Zhang San: "In that case, I will ask Brother Zhang San to introduce him on his behalf."

Zhang San smiled and nodded, Xu Ning did not hesitate, and immediately explained things clearly to Madam Xu, and walked out of the class gate with Zhang San and headed towards Bianhe Street.

The bright moon is bright and the sky is filled with stars. After dark, the Bianliang group is noisy with singing and dancing, and everyone on the Bianhe River is intoxicated.

Entering Yingshui Pavilion, which has become famous in Bianliang City in recent years, for the first time. As Zhang San walked through the hall on the first floor, Xu Ning looked around and saw many colleagues on duty. When he went upstairs, he even Meeting several ministers who could only be seen when officials went to court, a word flashed in Xu Ning's mind: bells ringing and cauldrons eating.

Entering an elegant room on the second floor, there was a young man in brocade clothes sitting in front of the window with eyes as bright as paint and a face as beautiful as a pile of flowers. There was an eye-catching red sheepskin box on the table in front of him.

Xu Ning only glanced at the box, walked closer, cupped his hands and said, "Xu Ning has met Yan Dong's family."

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Teacher Xu, sit down and open the box and check it to see if there is anything wrong with it."

"Thank you to the Yan Dong family for finding the treasure armor for Xu. I trust the Yan Dong family and don't need to check it." Xu Ning shook his head slightly when he heard this and said seriously.

After hearing this, Yan Qing didn't say much and just said vaguely to Xu Ning: "Teacher Xu, do you know that a month ago, Captain Gao recommended that the commander of Runing County be the commander of the double whip, Hu Yanzhuo, and lead the army to suppress the bandits in Liangshan Mountain in the east of Shandong? ?”

When Xu Ning heard this, he was a little confused and said doubtfully: "Xu knows this at this time, but I don't know how this matter has anything to do with this person?"

"The thieves who broke into Teacher Xu's home late at night and stole the armor came from Liangshan. General Huyan had three thousand heavy cavalry with a chain of horses. Liangshan could not compete with him, so he sent people to Bianliang to steal your Yanfei armor and earn a lot of money. You go up the mountain and fall into the grass, and defeat the enemy with your family's traditional hook and sickle spear technique." Yan Qing glanced at Xu Ning and slowly explained the reason.

When Xu Ning heard this, his face was startled. After a moment, he felt a surge of anger rushing straight to his forehead. He said angrily: "Although my Xu family is not a very high-ranking family, it is also a general in the past. How dare this puddle grass bandit come to such humiliation?" Make me lose the grass."

Seeing that he was so angry, Yan Qing just smiled, poured him a cup of tea, and said meaningfully: "There is a saying that Yan Qing doesn't know whether to ask or not. I heard that Teacher Xu has never done anything like this." I want to sell it, but I don’t know what Teacher Xu is keeping this armor for?”

What is A used for?

Xu Ning was a little confused about Yan Qing's words. What could the armor be used for? The treasured armor was naturally used to kill enemies in battle. After all, he was kind to him today, so Xu Ning replied seriously: "This pair of wild goose feathers Armor is a treasure passed down from our ancestors to four generations. I am afraid that it will be used by the army in the future, so I have always treasured it."

When Yan Qing heard this, he smiled and said: "Teacher Xu is on duty in the Imperial Golden Spear Class, and is called the Golden Spearman. We are the only people in the Song Dynasty who have such a 'Golden Spearman' like you. There are eight if not a thousand." Hundreds, but where are the troops in front and behind?"

"What does the Yan Dong family mean by this?" Xu Ning asked, frowning.

Yan Qing said seriously: "We are the only people in the Song Dynasty who had Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qi. If they were born as military generals like Teacher Xu, they would never be able to succeed. If Teacher Xu only had family reunion in his heart,

Yan Qing advised Mr. Xu to sell A because it is a crime for a common man to have a jade in his possession."

After hearing this, Xu Ning was stunned on the spot and was speechless for a long time. When Zhang San sent him downstairs later, he still had mixed feelings in his heart.

Xu Ning held the sheepskin box in her arms and walked among the bustling crowds on Bianhe Street. When she passed by a fan building, she heard someone shouting from behind: "Xu Guan'er."

Xu Ning turned around and saw a richly dressed nobleman with five or seven helpers coming out of the lavish fan building. Seeing the man's face clearly by the light, Xu Ning tightened the sheepskin box in his arms.
