There was a strange thief in the rivers and lakes recently, and he liked to steal strange things. He also had a hobby, the more difficult things were to steal, the more interested he was. For this reason, people often bet with him, but so far he has not lost a hand. No, some people didn't believe in evil a few days ago and made a bet with him to steal an item from the palace within five days. But it only took him one night to move the emperor's golden toilet out of the palace.
In this way, the reputation of the strange thieves in the rivers and lakes became even more famous, but the emperor was not happy, and the emperor was furious and ordered the beheading of the two guards who were on duty that night. Just as the execution was being carried out, the general who had been guarding the border had just returned to the dynasty to report to the court. After asking the ins and outs of the matter, he persuaded the emperor to let go of the two guards, and also took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the task of arresting the strange thieves.
After he took over the mission, he neither posted a bounty list nor sent anyone to hunt down the thief. He just let out the wind, saying that as long as the thief could steal a big black dog that had been with him for many years, not only would the crimes committed in the past be forgiven, but he would also be rewarded with an additional 100 taels of gold.
The news reached ears of the strange thief, which made him very happy. Since his debut, he has stolen hundreds of things, and he has never stolen a live dog, not to mention the bounty of 100 taels of gold. He brought all kinds of crime tools and came to the general's mansion that night.
The general's mansion was heavily guarded, but it was a piece of cake for the strange thief. He took advantage of the darkness and sneaked into the general's mansion without realizing it, but he searched all over the mansion, but he didn't see a single hair, not even the general.
The robber found it very strange, so he grabbed a soldier and asked him. Only then did he know that the general liked peace and quiet, and this time he did not live in the general's mansion, but moved to the old house in the countryside. When the robber arrived in the countryside non-stop, it was already three o'clock, and the whole old house was dark, with only one side room still lit. He licked the broken window paper and saw that it was indeed the general reading at night by candle, and a black dog the size of a calf was dozing at his feet.
The thief took out the drug and blew it into the room with a blowpipe. After a while, the general yawned and fell asleep on the table. The thief was secretly happy and stepped into the room, but he did not know that the general was pretending to be asleep. When he saw the thief come in, he patted the big black dog on the back and said, "Go!" The big black dog suddenly jumped up and pounced on the thief. The thief reacted quickly, turned around and fled when he saw that the momentum was wrong, and escaped for more than ten miles before shaking off the fierce big black dog.
After being fooled by the robber once, he realized that the big black dog was not so easy to steal, so he came up with a new idea. The next night, he first dug a trap on his way, and then repeated his old trick to lure the big black dog out. But when he caught up with the trap, the big black dog sniffed the soil with its nose, stopped, barked "woof woof" at the robber, and wagged its tail back.
This made the thief's nose crooked. He didn't expect that the black dog was so smart. He remembered that he had heard people say that dogs were most afraid of tigers, so he made a piece of tiger skin, but the black dog smelled the smell of tiger skin and didn't care at all. After that, the thief changed several methods, but the big black dog and the general were inseparable and never fell for it.
That day, the strange thief got a female dog from nowhere, and after he failed to seduce the big black dog, he said, "I have never missed a mistake since my strange thief's debut. For the sake of my reputation as a strange thief, I will make a cruel move tomorrow night. General, don't blame me then."
The general also wanted to see what tricks the strange thief had. He stayed up all night waiting for the strange thief to appear, but the strange thief did not show up until the next morning. The general felt strange when a person rushed in from outside, but it was the director of the general's mansion. While wiping his sweat, the director panted and said, "General, no... bad, the strange thief sneaked into the general's mansion last night and took the little prince away! The strange thief also said that if you want to get the young master back, you can exchange it with a big black dog..."
The general's surprise was no small matter, and he hurriedly rode his horse to the city. The director led the big black dog and trotted all the way behind. After a few miles, a person ran towards him.
The general was confused at this time. The general was clearly behind him, so why did he run in front of him? He took a closer look and found that the general was wearing different clothes and did not have a big black dog in his hand. The general saw the general and panted, "General, no... not good, last night the strange thief sneaked into the general's mansion, stole a set of clothes from the villain, and left a note. The villain read the note and thought it was serious, so he hurried to report to you."
The manager wiped his sweat and handed the note to the general. The note was written: "The black dog has been stolen by me. If you want to go back, please go back to the old house to find me."
It was only then that the general came to his senses: the general who came just now was pretending to be a strange thief. He did not come yesterday, obviously hiding near the general's mansion to secretly observe the general's actions. He then stole the general's clothes, dressed as the general to report the news to himself, and stole the black dog easily while he was flustered.
Thinking of this, the general couldn't help laughing: This strange thief really has a hand, and he has learned very well from the general, and he has even been deceived. The general turned his horse and returned to the old house. The strange thief has been waiting in the study for a long time.
Seeing the general, the thief proudly said, "General, have you brought the hundred taels of gold?"
The general spread his hand: "No."
The strange thief was taken aback: "The general has always spoken like a mountain, do you want to go back this time?"
The general laughed, "Of course what I say counts, but what about my big black dog?"
The thief turned his head and pointed, "Isn't that..." He was dumbfounded when he finished speaking. There was no big black dog behind him, but there was a middle-aged man with a thin figure who smiled at him.
The strange thief was stunned for a while, and gave a long sigh: "I just learned today what it means to be'there are people outside of people, and there is a sky outside the sky '. This time I admit that I have fallen, if I want to kill or cut, let the general deal with it."
The general shook his head: "Why should I kill you? Now that foreign invaders are invading, the border is in a hurry. This time I came back to ask the emperor to increase his troops. In addition, I also want to recruit some strange people like you with unique skills. As long as you are willing to contribute to the country, the past will be written off."
As soon as the thief heard that he had not killed his head, he agreed. However, he looked at the narrow window and then at the thin man, but he still didn't understand how he got the big black dog out.
The skinny man smiled again, took out a piece of dog skin from behind and covered his body, rolled on the ground, and turned into a majestic big black dog.
The strange thief suddenly realized that he had been wondering why this black dog was so smart. It turned out that this man was pretending to be him.
The general laughed and told the thief the truth: This thin man's name is "Canine Langjun", and he is a strange man whom the general had recruited before. His ability is very strange, that is, he can disguise himself as a dog, and he is lifelike. This time, the general agreed on such a plan with Canine Langjun in order to recruit the strange thief, and also tried the skill of the strange thief, by the way.
A few days later, the strange thieves and Canine Langjun followed the general to the border. With their strange skills, they stole a lot of enemy information. The general used this information to beat the foreign invaders to pieces and fled in embarrassment.
