It turns out that in the past ten years, Long Xiaoyun traveled around the world, punishing evil and promoting good, helping those in need, and seemed to have no fixed place to live. But in fact, he had already built a series of mansions outside Taipu City, named "Xingyun Village".

When the disciples of the seven sects arrived in Taipu City, Long Xiaoyun took them to his residence for a temporary stay as the host.

 He has traveled around the world in recent years, not only creating a great reputation, but also making friends and forming a wide range of good relationships. Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Huashan... are all his friends.

Hence, the disciples of the seven sects are naturally willing to live in Xingyun Village.

In addition to the disciples of the seven major sects, Long Xiaoyun also opened the door to invite people from all over the world to stay temporarily in Xingyun Village. Warm hospitality, home away from home.

 For a time, Xingyun Village became famous and very lively. It is even more famous than Li Garden, which has a school with seven Jinshi, a father and his son who visited flowers three times, and a garden that is the most prosperous among the three Jin Dynasties.

Xiang Nan also learned the whereabouts of Long Xiaoyun.

And he also roughly guessed why Long Xiaoyun wanted to open his door wide and invite guests.

He not only wants to improve his reputation, but also wants to become the leader of various martial arts circles and lead the operation to track down and eradicate the "Plum Blossom Thieves".

 It is said that a snake cannot move without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head.

 There were not even 10,000 but 5,000 people from all walks of life gathered in Taipu City. Various sects, various gangs, various aristocratic families, black and white sects, there are many places, and it is more lively than the siege of the Demon Sword Sect ten years ago.

 The encirclement and suppression of the Demon Sword Sect back then was led by Master Zhuge and Master Bai Xiaosheng. With this move, the two of them gained great fame in the world.

If this "Plum Blossom Robbery Incident" is led by him, it will be easy for him to become famous. Moreover, he can also intentionally or unintentionally guide the direction of the investigation and list Xiang Nan as the main suspect.

Xiang Nandu has already thought of a reason for him.

 The Plum Blossom Thief's kung fu is extremely high, especially his hidden weapon kung fu, which is unparalleled in the world. And in the weapons list, apart from Xiang Nan, is there anyone else who is a master of hidden weapons?

Secondly, Meihua stole wealth and sex, and Xiang Nan was also a member of Fengliu. Lin Shiyin, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, and Lin Xianer, the top brand of Wanhua Tower, were all taken as his concubine...

Coupled with the gold and silver jewelry dug out of his house, it will be impossible for Xiang Nan not to admit it when the time comes.

"What a plan, what a calculation, how powerful." Xiang Nan admired. If he hadn't understood his plot in advance, he would have been in trouble.

 …

Xiang Nan immediately returned home.

He understood Long Xiaoyun's conspiracy and knew that the other party was going to frame him, so he didn't go to the drug store in the past few days and stayed at home every day to guard against villains.

What he told Lin Shiyin and Lin Xian'er was that there had been plum blossom robberies in the city recently, and several big families had been robbed of their money and sex, so he wanted to stay at home to protect them.

Lin Shiyin and Lin Xianer are naturally happy for him to stay at home.

The three of them danced and wrote ink, played the piano and played chess, and had a great time.

"My husband is really a national Go player. Xian'er and I lost again." Lin Xian'er flattered, "If you let me move two more moves, I will definitely be able to win the game."

Xiang Nan smiled and was about to agree. At this moment, he heard a cat meowing outside the window.

"You can't win even if I give in ten more steps." He then smiled and said, "Let Shiyin accompany you. I'll go for your convenience." After that, he stood up and left.

Out of the room, Xiang Nan made a move with his hand, and a civet cat jumped onto his hand, and then spit out a ruby ​​​​from his mouth. As big as a broad bean and as red as charcoal, this one alone is worth at least ten thousand taels of silver.

Xiang Nandu was stunned and asked quickly, "Where did you get it from?"

The civet cat immediately fell to the ground and headed northeast.

Xiang Nan hurriedly followed, and after a while, he came to the cross courtyard, a house where firewood was piled. The civet cat squeezed in along the crack of the door, squeezed into the gap between the firewood piles, and then made a meowing sound.

Xiang Nan did not push aside the pile of firewood, but used his clairvoyant eyes to take a look. Sure enough, he saw a pile of jewels hidden in the pile of firewood.

However, the number is very small, and it is still a long way from the treasures that Long Xiaoyun wants to frame. It is probably that someone just hid it inside.

"Who is hiding here?" Xiang Nan frowned and thought.

 He is definitely not Lin Xianer.

 He has been with her these past few days. If she does something small, it will never be hidden from his eyes.

 Furthermore, after spending ten years with Lin Xian'er, Xiang Nan found that Lin Xian'er was still devoted to him.

In fact, this is no wonder. In the play, Lin Xian'er turns black because Li Xun Huan was in trouble and abandoned her. He clearly married her, but wrote a letter of divorce on the day of the wedding. No matter how much Lin Xian'er begged, she was unwilling to take her. No wonder people want revenge.

 Furthermore, it is also said in the play that as deep as the hatred is, there is also deep love. The reason why Lin Xianer wanted to put him to death was because she loved him too much and hated him too much.

But in the past ten years, he not only married Lin Xian'er as his concubine, but also treated her as well as Lin Shiyin. Lin Xianer naturally has no hatred for him, only love, so there is no reason to join forces with Long Xiaoyun and Bai Xiaosheng to harm him.

“Then who is hiding here?” Xiang Nan asked doubtfully, and then decided not to move the jewelry for the time being, so as not to alert the snake.

 …

As people from all walks of life rushed to Taipu City, the operation to track down and eradicate the "Plum Blossom Pirates" began with great vigor.

Just as Xiang Nan thought, Long Xiaoyun was really elected as the leader of these Jianghu people, leading various sects, major families, major gangs, and various Jianghu figures to track down the whereabouts of the Plum Blossom Thief.

As for Xiang Nan, they quickly found out the person who hid the jewelry in the woodshed.

His name is Laifu, he is Li Yuan’s servant and is responsible for daily shopping. He looks honest and honest, not a cunning person. But it happened that he hid the jewels, and it was true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.

 Because he ordered the civet cat to squat on the roof and watch people entering and leaving the woodshed to see who was hiding jewelry inside. The civet cat quickly identified Laifu.

Xiang Nan pretended as if nothing had happened, but then secretly followed Laifu.

I saw him secretly meeting with people while he was out shopping, then hiding the gold and silver jewelry at the bottom of the basket, transporting it into the house, and then moving the gold, silver and jewelry to the woodshed while others were not prepared.

“That’s it.” Xiang Nan nodded.

　　 Bribing his own servants and hiding treasures secretly in his own home. When the time comes, he may even use this servant to testify against himself. He is really a good chess player.

“What a pity, your opponent is me.” Xiang Nan sneered, then turned around and went home.

When I came to Zhuque Street, I saw a crowd of people in front of me, and it seemed like something was happening.

Xiang Nan stepped forward and saw several big men surrounding a young man.

This young man is handsome and tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is dressed in coarse linen clothes and holds a thin piece of bamboo in his hand, which seems to be used as a sword.

It just has neither a blade nor a hilt, nor even a hilt. Such a shabby sword is rare in the world.

Xiang Nan's eyes lit up when he saw this young man, because he was Ah Fei.
