Ding-ding-ding-

The copper ball rotated in Cao Peng's hand, hitting it rhythmically and making crisp sounds.

"Afu, can you stop playing with those two pills of yours?"

"Well……"

Cao Peng's forehead was immediately covered with black lines.

Why does this sentence sound so weird?

Translated, it means ‘stop playing with those two balls of yours’. If this is placed in future generations, it will definitely cause ambiguity.

If you say one more word "copper", will you die?

Cao Peng was helpless.

Cao Peng's two balls...the two copper balls were actually made based on the health balls of later generations.

In his previous life, the old martial arts master who taught him kung fu liked to play with "double pills". It is said that these "double pills" can enhance hand strength, stimulate blood vessels, and strengthen qi and blood.

The limbs and whole body of the human body are a whole.

Among the fourteen major meridians, in addition to the two meridians of Ren and Du, twelve meridians connect the hands and feet with the chest, abdomen, head and other parts of the body. In later generations of traditional Chinese medicine, they are called "internally connecting the internal organs, externally connecting the internal organs."

As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart. It means that these ten fingers are closely connected with various organs inside the body. Through the stimulation of the hands, it can be transmitted to the corresponding organs and affect the whole body.

.And this 'double pill' can achieve exactly this magical effect.

At first, Cao Peng got inspiration from the jade ball in Chen Sheng's home.

He originally wanted to use jade to make it, but later he felt that jade is fragile, and good jade is hard to find, so it would be impossible to make it at once. So when he was in Haixi, he found it through Huang Zheng in the gold market.

The best local blacksmith made a pair of twin pills out of red copper.

Each one weighs about two kilograms, and is usually turned and played with in the hand. When necessary, it can also be used as a concealed weapon.

There are also methods of using hidden weapons in Baiyuan Tongbei Fist. For example, what kind of shooting stars chase the moon, what kind of twin ghosts knock on the door... etc. Cao Peng didn't pay much attention to this aspect of kung fu in his previous life, but the general training methods are still good.

Can remember.

‘Double Pill’, also known as Iron Meteor.

The meaning is that when it is used as a concealed weapon, it is as fast as a meteor.

The gentleman on Liang Shang's eyes were spinning. Looking at the pair of iron meteors in Cao Peng's hand, he couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart. Just now, when he was hiding on the beam, the iron meteors hit him beside him. The gentleman on Liang Shang's skills are not weak either.

, it can be clearly felt that Cao Peng's blow should have a back-up plan. Otherwise, if the iron meteor hits his body, even if it cannot kill him, it will break his bones and tendons.

Outside the door, Xia Houlan also heard the noise.

However, Xun Yan ordered him to guard him outside and not allow anyone to come near him.

Although Xun Yan led ten generals, he already felt that the ones who could really reassure him were Xia Houlan and Cao Peng.

After Cao Peng put away the iron meteor, Xun Yan looked up and down to look at the gentleman on the beam.

The gentleman on Liang Shang is not too tall, just over seven feet tall, about 165cm tall.

He has a skinny build, and is the kind of person who can't boil a few ounces of oil when thrown into a pot. His arms are slightly longer than ordinary people, hanging down almost to his knees. He has a mustache, a short beard under his chin, and triangular eyes with yellowed eyes.

It seemed a little turbid, but when he stood among the crowd, he was inconspicuous.

"who are you?"

The gentleman in Liang Shang hurriedly put his hands together and said, "This villain defeats the enemy and pays homage to his benefactor."

The ancients often considered a person with a single name to be noble and a person with a double name to be despicable. Generally speaking, those with double names were mostly prisoners who married into sons-in-law, and their social status was not very high. Moreover, they were destined to have double names from birth.

Even when registering, people will be identified by their double names.

Xun Yan frowned slightly and said nothing.

With his background, he really doesn't bother to talk to people with two names.

He glanced at Cao Peng, who immediately understood what he meant. Xun Yan was asking him to come forward and talk to Liang Shangjun...er, Luo Kedi.

"Luo Kedi, what do you do for a living?"

Luo Kedi's cloudy eyes flashed with light, he put his hands together and bowed to Cao Peng again.

"Little benefactor, I have a question in my heart. I wonder if my little benefactor can help me solve my doubts?"

This person seems very interesting!

Cao Peng couldn't help but smile and nodded slightly: "Ask."

"The villain has been practicing the art of lightness since he was a child. Although he is not perfect, he can still fly over eaves and walk over walls, and fall to the ground silently. The beams in this house are very high, and the villain feels that it is very hidden, but the little benefactor can see the villain at a glance.

Hiding place, I wonder what mistake the villain made?"

This sentence basically exposed Luo Kedi's business.

Who can climb over walls and pass through doors for free? Who needs to walk ghostly and land silently? Who needs to deliberately practice hiding places? The answer is obvious, that is a thief! But it can be seen that Luo Kedi belongs to that kind of person

A thief who has strict requirements on himself and is very motivated. Cao Peng couldn't help but smile, looking at Na Luo Ke Enemy, he didn't say anything for a long time.

There was a faint hint of oppression in his eyes.

Luo Kedi's heart was beating non-stop.

"Actually, you have good hiding skills and are very clever...I didn't notice you at first."

"That……"

"But the problem is the dust on the beams."

"dust?"

Cao Peng walked to the desk, stretched out his hand, and wiped it on the desk.

"Sir, he is very tidy, so when he was gone, I wiped the desk specially. But just now, I found that there was a layer of dust on the desk. Of course, it was not very obvious. It was just because I had just wiped it, that's why

Pay attention to these."

"It's that simple?"

"Uh..., actually, it's that simple."

Luo Kedi couldn't help but smile bitterly, while Xun Yan stood aside and showed appreciation.

A scene before he left Xu Du suddenly appeared in his mind. Before leaving Xu Du, Guo Jia once visited him.

"Xiu Ruo, I have something to ask of you... Some time ago, Deng Shusun wrote to me and said that his brother-in-law is going to be crowned king and he wants to find a husband for him. But due to various reasons, as you know... I know that Xiu Ruo is a talented person.

, and I don’t have any disciples, so I wonder if I can be accommodating?”

At that time, Xun Yan was a little unhappy and felt that Guo Jia's request seemed a bit presumptuous.

But now, Xun Yan felt that he might not be able to teach Cao Peng.

Maybe……

An idea emerged in Xun Yan's mind.

Cao Peng didn't know that in this flash of lightning, Xun Yan's thoughts were already changing thousands of times.

He was asking Luo Kedi: "Luo Kedi, I already know what you do for a living. I have answered your question. Now it's your turn to answer mine... I want to know what exactly you have done."

This incident actually caused Wu Commandery's thieves to pursue you for thousands of miles?"

From Dantu to Wu County, the seat of Wu County, there are three county towns separated: Qu'a, Piling, and Wuxi.

Although the two places are not thousands of miles apart, the distance is constant. Dantu is one of the thirteen counties under the rule of Wu County, and it is also the northernmost county. Generally speaking, ordinary bandits are mostly handled by the thieves in each county.

There are only two possibilities for arresting and alerting the Wu County thief Cao. One is that this person is doing business in Wu County, and the other is that the crime committed is so big that the county thief Cao takes action.

From Han Zong's previous words, Cao Peng could tell that Han Zong was chasing Luo Ke's enemy all the way from Wu County.

So, what big thing did Luo Kedi commit?

Luo Kedi hesitated for a moment and sighed, "Since the little benefactor has guessed the villain's business, the villain will no longer hide it.

The villain is from Wu County, and what he does is the door-to-door business without capital. To be honest, the villain still hasn’t figured out why he provoked the Wu County thief. About a month ago, the villain left.

A family. Later, the thieves in Wu County went out one after another to arrest local idlers. The villain realized that the situation was not good, and escaped from Wuxian overnight. He thought he would hide for two days and go back after the storm had passed, but he didn't know... Later, the villain

When the person's whereabouts were revealed, he was stared at by the Sun family dogs and fled all the way from Wu County to Dantu.

Originally, the villain planned to take a boat to Jiangbei, but he didn't expect that the dock would be closed today.

Those Sun dogs were chasing after me so hard that the villain had no way out, so he just took a chance and escaped here. He never thought about it..."

Cao Pengqi asked: "Then what family did you steal from?"

"Actually, it's not really a family, it's just an ordinary family in Wuxian County."

"Then what did you steal?"

"I didn't steal anything..."

Cao Peng's face darkened, and his voice suddenly became sharp, "Luo Kedi, do you think I'm young and can be bullied, or do you think I don't dare to kill someone?"

"Ah... why did my little benefactor say this?"
To be continued...
