The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

At the end of the hour, Chu Xiao and his party slowly arrived at Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion.

Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion is not only luxurious, but also very elegant, which shows that Yan Tieshan is not only a rich man, but also a rich man with taste.

The person who received them was Huo Tianqing.

The identity of the chief executive of the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion is not simple. He is the only son of the old man Tianqin and the only heir of the Tianqin Sect.

Originally, he could have easily made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes based on his status, but in the end, he succumbed to Yan Tieshan's command and became a small manager.

Well, it is said that it is for gratitude.

His behavior is undoubtedly commendable, and Lu Xiaofeng also highly respects him, calling him both civil and military, a rare talent.

So before they met, Chu Xiao had a good impression of him.

But wait until we meet...

"Did you notice the look in his eyes just now?"

Looking past Huo Tianqing who was walking in the front and leading the way for everyone, Chu Xiao couldn't help but send a voice transmission to Ye Gucheng beside him: "I think he doesn't seem to welcome us very much."

When Lu Xiaofeng introduced Chu Xiao and Ye Gucheng to Huo Tianqing, although Huo Tianqing didn't show any obvious strangeness on his face, Chu Xiao always felt that something was wrong with his eyes.

He said welcome, and there was a surprised expression on his face, but there was no joy in his eyes.

It doesn't look like they're genuinely welcome.

Ye Gucheng looked down at Chu Xiao, but didn't speak.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Huo Tianqing's attitude. After all, the battle of their group didn't look like a simple visit as a friendly guest at all.

The banquet was placed in a water pavilion surrounded by lotus ponds. Yan Tieshan hadn't arrived yet, but the two accompanying guests had already been waiting here.

"This is the teacher of the house, Mr. Su Shaoqing, and this is Ma Xingkong, the chief escort of the Guanzhong Joint Escort Agency. The big boss specially invited the two of them to accompany the guests."

Huo Tianqing introduced the two people with a smile, and then said: "Please sit down for a while, Huo will go and invite the big boss over."

Su Shaoqing and Ma Xingkong, who were stunned by the "guests": ... No!Brother, don't go!

The agreement was just to entertain Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou?

What's the matter with these extra gods qaq

Seeing Lu Xiaofeng and the others who had already taken their seats, Su Shaoqing and Ma Xingkong who were standing aside felt at a loss, they couldn't even summon up the courage to initiate a conversation.

Noticing the cowardly and pitiful appearance of the two of them, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help stroking his beard.

His two beards that Ximen Chuuxue had shaved off finally grew stubble again.

"You two don't have to be so reserved." Lu Xiaofeng beckoned the two to sit down, and then showed a warm and friendly smile, trying to dispel the nervousness of the two, "It's also a kind of fate that everyone can get together here."

"Yes, yes, fate and fate."

Ma Xingkong straightened his back and stammered in agreement.

And Su Shaoqing...he looked as if he had been frightened out of his wits.

Seats at the side of the table were limited, except for the main seats reserved for Yan Tieshan and Huo Tianqing, the remaining seats were almost full, Ma Xingkong took the first step and sat next to Lu Xiaofeng, so Su Shaoqing could only sit next to Ximen Chuuxue.

Sitting next to Ximen Chuuxue was Ye Gucheng.

The aura of the two of them was more terrifying than the other. Su Shaoqing, who was crushed by the double aura, didn't even dare to take a breath, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his head.

Only some dried fruit snacks and tea were placed during the banquet, Chu Xiao was bored and grabbed Ye Gucheng's hand to count the palm prints, while Wu Gui worked hard to peel walnuts for him to eat.

Wu Gui: "Open your mouth."

Chu Xiao: "Ah——"

Ye Gucheng: "..."

He could be considered to know how Chu Xiao's delicacy was cultivated.

Sweating a lot, people will inevitably feel thirsty, Su Shaoqing endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back, tremblingly raised his hand to take the teacup.

At this moment, Ximen Chuuxue at the side suddenly made a sound.

"You practice swords?"

Su Shaoqing shook his hand and knocked over the teacup.

His pale face became even paler, and even the blood on his lips faded instantly.

Seeing this, Ximen Chuuxue immediately looked away from Su Shaoqing's hand in disappointment.

A person who can't even hold a teacup steadily is not very good at swordsmanship.

Ximen Chuuxue's actions caused Su Shaoqing's expression to change instantly, a trace of humiliation flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Ximen Chuuxue with his neck straightened, "Yes, I practice swords."

His emotions were probably a little out of control, so he turned up the volume a little louder, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at him expressionlessly, and said calmly, "Where is your sword?"

Su Shaoqing didn't have a sword on his body, and only a paper fan was pinned to his waist. Looking at his temperament, he looked like a refined literati. If he hadn't seen the callus marks on his hands, Ximen Chuuxue would not have realized that he was actually a swordsman.

But as a swordsman, why don't you carry your sword with you?

Su Shaoqing obviously heard the meaning behind Ximen Chuuxue's words, his face twitched, and he said loudly as if he wanted to make a statement: "As long as you have a sword in your heart, no matter what you hold in your hand, it can become a sword!"

"Is it."

Ximen Fuxue cast down his eyes noncommittally.

There was no obvious contempt in his actions, but young people's self-esteem was always extremely strong. Su Shaoqing probably felt that he was being looked down upon by others, and his face immediately showed anger.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly interrupted: "Boss Huo has been away for a long time, why hasn't Boss Yan arrived yet... Drinking tea is really boring."

Hua Manlou smiled and joked, "I think you're an alcoholic."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Qitong is the one who knows me, haha, I have been thinking about the good wine at Boss Yan's house for a long time."

The atmosphere eased a little, and Ma Xingkong, who came to his senses, also followed suit: "It's because I didn't greet you well. If Daxia Lu is getting impatient, you might as well ask someone to bring some drinks over first."

He planned to send Su Shaoqing away along the Huatou.

But before he could speak, a person's laughter suddenly came from outside the water pavilion.

"I knew, Lu Xiaofeng, you drunkard, have been thinking about the good wine in my house!"

A chubby man in Chinese clothes strode into the water pavilion, with a very enthusiastic smile on his face, he joked to Lu Xiaofeng in a familiar tone: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it today so you can drink to your heart's content."

Seeing this person, Ma Xingkong immediately stood up and asked the big boss respectfully.

Yan Tieshan waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to be too polite, then turned to Huo Tianqing who was behind him and said, "Hurry up and ask someone to bring the food and drinks, don't make the distinguished guests wait too long."

After the words fell, Yan Tieshan had already walked to the front of the table.

He began to greet Chu Xiao and the others one by one, his attitude seemed neither humble nor overbearing, even if he was facing Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue, the warm smile on his face did not change at all.

Chu Xiao's first impression of Yan Tieshan was that she was tactful, but her second impression...

He stared at Yan Tieshan's neck covered by the collar with strange eyes, wondering why this person looked a bit like an eunuch to him?

This kind of tone of voice while pinching his throat, and his face so white that he didn't even have half a beard, are just like the eunuchs in the palace.

After greeting everyone, Yan Tieshan turned around and prepared to sit at the main seat.

But when he reached the railing, a golden awn burst out from the lotus pond behind him, silently attacking the back of his head.

Due to the angle, most people at the banquet did not notice this sudden situation, but Chu Xiao, who had been staring at Yan Tieshan's neck, caught the cold light.

He raised his hand subconsciously and threw the teacup in his hand.

'Crack--'

Yan Tieshan, who was caught off guard by the splash of tea all over her head: "?!"

He turned around in a daze, only to see that everyone was staring at his heels, so he looked over subconsciously.

Several fragments of cracked teacups and a gold hairpin in the shape of a flying phoenix lay quietly on the ground.

Yan Tieshan's face changed suddenly, and she immediately retreated to the table, angrily said: "Come on! Come on! Seal the entire water pavilion for me—"

Chu Xiao: "It's late." At the same time as he made a move, the fleeting breath underwater also disappeared, and it is estimated that he has fled far away at this moment.

Yan Tieshan's face turned livid: "Then seal the entire Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, no matter who is responsible for it, don't even try to slip out from under my nose!"

How could Yan Tieshan not be angry at being so blatantly sneaked into the mansion and assassinated, and almost died in the real world?He was going crazy with anger at the moment, and he even forgot to use the Shanxi accent that he deliberately pretended to be.

"This hairpin..."

Lu Xiaofeng picked up the golden hairpin with a complicated expression on his face.

He knew this hairpin, or rather, he had seen it before.

Not long ago, Shangguan Feiyan's younger sister, Shangguan Xue'er, secretly brought a hairpin of the same shape to Lu Xiaofeng, saying that she saw Princess Danfeng kill Liu Yuhen with it.

She also said that this seemingly ordinary hairpin is actually Princess Danfeng's unique hidden weapon, called Feifeng Needle.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't take this matter to heart at the time.

Because not long after, that Liu Yuhen who had been killed in Shangguan Xueer's mouth appeared in front of him, alive and well.

He thought that Shangguan Xue'er was lying to him again, the flying phoenix needle, and Princess Danfeng's unique hidden weapon were all fake.

But now...

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help thinking, what if some of what Shangguan Xueer said was true?What if the person who assassinated Yan Tieshan was Princess Danfeng?

After all, Princess Danfeng did have a reason to kill Yan Tieshan.

But he had clearly promised her to come to Yan Tieshan to collect debts, so why should she be in a hurry to take Yan Tieshan's life?
