Guo Kai was the prime minister of the Zhao state, and his residence, while not as impregnable as it seemed, was certainly not far off.
Needless to say, the royal palace was obviously a heavily guarded place.
As it turned out, the person stole both places, and no one knows how they managed to do it.
Moreover, the two missing treasures were not the same or two, but many different kinds of treasures. Could it be a group crime? Because it would be very difficult for one person to move so many treasures in one trip.
When Robber Zhi was stealing, he did it repeatedly, moving the treasure in batches.
But that was under conditions where the security wasn't very tight.
Given the heavily guarded nature of Guo Kai's residence and the Zhao Kingdom's palace, even if a thief were to actually sneak into their treasury, they would only have that one chance.
Is it really possible to steal so many treasures in such a short time?
Robber Zhi found it unbelievable.
Unfortunately, the State of Zhao has now perished. According to the latest information, before Handan was captured, King Qian of Zhao and Chancellor Guo Kai fought each other and died in the palace. Since the parties involved are dead, many details of the events are unknown.
With the fall of the Zhao state, Dao Zhi felt it was time to leave this land.
The Qin state has taken over the Zhao state.
Although there were many opinions about the Qin state within the Mohist school, whether the turmoil in Zhao would subside after Qin conquered it was entirely up to Qin.
The Mohists have done their utmost in this war.
However, just as he was about to leave his current location, an accident occurred.
A group of mysterious people suddenly appeared in front of him and began to attack him.
At first, he did choose to take action and fight against these people.
However, as soon as these people formed their battle formation, Dao Zhi immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
Ultimately, he was just a petty thief. In terms of lightness skill alone, he was undoubtedly the best in the world, but apart from that, his other abilities were quite ordinary.
This group of people seemed to have studied him beforehand.
After forming the battle formation, the surrounding air became thick and sticky, which immediately slowed down Dao Zhi's speed.
Dao Zhi felt as if a thousand pounds were weighing on his body.
Even so, he still managed to escape after discovering the danger.
What was initially thought to be a minor accident turned into a surprise attack by Dao Zhi within a short period of time.
There is no doubt that someone is targeting him.
It's unclear how these people pinpointed his whereabouts. Every time he arrived at a place and finally managed to establish himself, this group would suddenly reappear.
At first, Robber Zhi was able to escape with a bit of difficulty.
However, over time, his energy inevitably began to wane.
Finally, he got injured.
After that, the situation began to deteriorate.
At its peak, it was already difficult to defend itself against this group of mysterious people's attack, let alone get injured.
If that were all, it would be fine.
He was not the only one from the Mohist school active in the Zhao state this time.
All that's needed is to contact someone from the Mohist school to escape this predicament.
Unfortunately, during his escape, he was noticed by another group of people.
This is thanks to Guo Kai's work while he was alive.
His reputation as the King of Thieves resounded throughout the entire State of Zhao.
Dao Zhi had been famous throughout the land for some years, and he had been active in the Yan and Zhao regions. Some people still knew his appearance and mannerisms.
When the group discovered Robber Zhi, they immediately surrounded and surrounded him.
For a time, Dao Zhi was like a stray dog.
They fled frantically through this area.
……
On the other hand, Xu Qing learned about Dao Zhi's predicament from this group of ruffians.
Now that I've heard news of my old friend, I should at least see him one last time.
Of course, after meeting him, he couldn't tell Dao Zhi that he was the one who committed the theft in Zhao.
Jingni, Shao Siming, and Hei Bai naturally had no objection to Xu Qing's desire to see his old friend.
However, there were far more people here than one could have imagined.
This time, it wasn't Xu Qing or Jing Ni who discovered the clues, but the sisters Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.
"They're Yin-Yang Masters!"
Xiao Hei discovered some unusual markings in one place.
After talking with her sister, she told Xu Qing about their discovery.
Why would someone from the Yin-Yang School appear here?
Xu Qing's gaze fell on the two sisters.
"Is it for you?"
Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai's gazes also sharpened.
A considerable amount of time has passed since they accepted that mission, went to the State of Qi, and were "captivated" by Xu Qing, eventually becoming his devoted companions.
The Yin-Yang School would never allow an elder-level figure to escape their control for so long.
If the Yin-Yang School members came for them, it would make perfect sense.
"No matter what, you're all mine now."
"Even if the Yin-Yang School wants to take you back, they'll have to ask for my opinion first!"
Before the two sisters could say anything, Xu Qing expressed her own opinion.
Since the Yin-Yang School has left traces in this area.
Xu Qing then prepared to search for the location of the Yin-Yang School.
He has always preferred to strike first.
It relies on Shao Siming's understanding of Yin-Yang philosophy.
They quickly located the whereabouts of several Yin-Yang School disciples.
There were four people in total, both men and women.
One of the men and one of the women were working together to perform a special spell.
After sensing for a while, the woman pointed in a direction.
"Over there!"
Several Yin-Yang School disciples immediately wanted to follow the indicated direction and head in that direction.
However, even using their light-footed skills, they hadn't traveled very far.
The sky around us suddenly darkened.
In an instant, the world seemed to lose all its color.
A murky atmosphere filled the air, making the four of them feel as if they were trapped in a quagmire, unable to move an inch.
"What...what happened?"
"what happened?"
The four Yin-Yang School disciples were horrified and utterly shocked.
Why are you here?
A calm sound rang out, and ripples suddenly appeared in the previously viscous atmosphere.
Under the watchful eyes of the four, a figure wearing a bronze mask suddenly appeared and then slowly walked up to them.
"Who are you?"
Upon seeing this figure, a female Yin-Yang School disciple immediately asked in a stern voice.
"Even at this point, you're still stubbornly arguing? No wonder you're a member of the Yin-Yang School." Hearing the woman's tone, Xu Qing thought of the other members of the Yin-Yang School he had dealt with before, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
The crisp sound echoed, like a pebble falling onto a calm surface of water, instantly changing the surrounding environment once again.
Although it was broad daylight, blue flames appeared in the eyes of the four people, hovering behind Xu Qing like lamps.
The firelight flickered, and the four men immediately became dazed.
As it turns out, even disciples of the Yin-Yang School were not immune to Xu Qing's illusionary techniques, which he had learned from the Yin-Yang School but had innovated upon.
Soon, Xu Qing learned the purpose of the four Yin-Yang School disciples.
Searching for the "King of Thieves," Dao Zhi.
As for why they needed to find Dao Zhi, the four of them didn't know either; it was an order from a high-ranking figure.
Besides these four people, there are quite a few Yin-Yang School disciples in the vicinity.
Their presence was like a net that covered all the places where the bandit Zhi might set foot.
In addition, they have mastered special techniques that allow them to grasp the vital energy of the bandit and pinpoint its location.
"A sin!"
After learning the reason why these people were there, Xu Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Good news: these people didn't come for Shao Siming Hei Bai; they seem unaware that Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai are beside them.
The bad news is that these people also came for Robber Zhi.
