The secret of my solo martial arts
Chapter 37
It has been three months since Huamanlou disappeared inexplicably, winter is over, and spring has arrived.
For the past three months, Lu Xiaofeng has had a bad time. He has been looking for Huamanlou and Li Miao. He followed the route of the day, but no matter what, he couldn't find anyone, and even the clues were cut off halfway. Two clean.
This made Lu Xiaofeng very confused and shocked. He knew that if he wanted to know the whereabouts of Li Miao and Hua Manlou, he could only ask the Palace Master Yaoyue of Yihua Palace, but the location of Yihua Palace was very secret, so Lu Xiaofeng asked someone to inquire for a long time , its location cannot be known.
After that brief appearance, Yaoyue never heard from her again.
Not surprisingly, a few days after Li Miao and Hua Manlou disappeared, it was revealed that Li Wan'er and Jiang Fanghan had died in the Qingshi faction, while Zhou An and Ouyang Meng both survived.
But as time passed, Lu Xiaofeng became more and more flustered. He originally guessed that Hua Manlou might be entangled in some troublesome matter, but now he no longer thinks so, no matter how troublesome things are, three months There's always news, even if it's a clue.
But now, there is nothing, and those two people seem to have disappeared out of thin air.
Sometimes no news is not good news, and the pain and suffering of those who wait for the news will never be understood by others.Now, Lu Xiaofeng dare not rule out the possibility that Huamanlou is gone, even if this is the last thing he wants to see.
But Huamanlou's martial arts are very strong, and based on Lu Xiaofeng's understanding of him, the possibility of accidents is extremely low, but the bad thing is that he disappeared with Li Miao, so Lu Xiaofeng had to prepare for the worst.
Until now, Lu Xiaofeng still hasn't found out the identity of Li Miao.
And at this moment, he came to Wanmei Villa.
It is now March, but Wanmei Villa is still cold, and wintersweet blooms for a long time, from January to March.
"So, you want to find someone for you?" Ximen Chuuxue asked.
Before this, Ximen Chuuxue had never seen Huamanlou.He is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou are also friends, but Ximen Chuuxue seldom leaves Wanmei Villa for a long time, except for Lu Xiaofeng, he doesn't like to have too many contacts with others.
But he always heard Huamanlou's name from Lu Xiaofeng.
He and Huamanlou are two completely opposite types of people. Huamanlou loves life, not only human life, but also flowers, plants, cats and dogs. This makes Ximen Chuuxue very puzzled. Although he does not completely ignore life, But definitely not respectful either.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, I have exhausted everything I can, but I still haven't found him."
Ximen Chuixue said: "Since you have exhausted all means, how can I find him?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know either, I have nothing to do, so I turn to you for help, one more person gives more strength."
Ximen Chuuxue could see that he was really worried, so worried that even the four eyebrows dimmed.
He said: "Okay." He complied, even though Lu Xiaofeng knew it, it was purely a comfort from his heart.
Lu Xiaofeng was preoccupied and had nothing more important to do, so he forced Ximen Chuuxue to talk at night by candlelight, and told Ximen Chuuxue everything about what happened to the Qingshi faction and the disappearance of Huamanlou and Li Miao together. .
But Ximen Chuuxue wasn't interested, he just listened to it as a story, to ease Lu Xiaofeng's worries.
Lu Xiaofeng lived in Wanmei Villa for two days and then left. He was restless, so naturally he couldn't stay here for a month like before.
After more than a month, there was still no news, everyone began to prepare for the worst, Lu Xiaofeng's life has gradually started to get on the right track.
One day in April, someone found Lu Xiaofeng and asked him to help him recover his lost thirteen boxes of gold and silver treasures, including dozens of ancient paintings, which were priceless, and promised Lu Xiaofeng a very generous reward.
Lu Xiaofeng is well-known in the Jianghu. Apart from his high martial arts skills, the most important thing is that he has a very good reputation. As long as he helps in everything, nothing is impossible. People in the Jianghu care about reputation most.This is not the first time to pay for work, but this kind of work that promises a higher salary has never been a good job, and it is often a dangerous job.
At this time, Lu Xiaofeng misses Huaman very much, because he usually asks Huamanlou to do this kind of life-threatening work with him.
But it's not full of flowers now.
He was very sad.
The person who came was the nephew of General Dingbei. Xue Buchang, the general of Dingbei, had made great military exploits for the country. He died in battle ten years ago, and after his death, he was named a marquis, which can be hereditary.But General Xue left no children, only his nephew Xue Xiuting. Xue Xiuting's parents died young and lived with General Xue.
Although Xue Xiaohou is not ignorant, but he is not very motivated. He has become a well-known dandy in the capital these years. Even the emperor feels a headache when he mentions this Xue Xiuting. Xue Xiuting is about the same age as Lu Xiaofeng. Refers to the turmoil of marriage.
It's really unusual to come to Lu Xiaofeng at this time.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Excuse me for being rude, are these thirteen boxes of gold and silver treasures all yours, Lord Hou?"
Lu Xiaofeng was not a member of the imperial court, and he was always well-behaved, and he had a very good reputation in the imperial court and martial arts, so Xue Xiuting would not feel offended if he asked such a question.
"No." Xue Xiuting said distressedly, "It's because it's not that I have such a headache."
It turned out that Xue Xiuting was married by the emperor and pointed out to him the daughter of General Liang who was stationed on the western border of Haixi.But Xue Xiuting has too many confidante in the capital, hangs around the flowers every day, doesn't want to be tied to a woman at all, let alone a woman who has never met, the most frightening thing is that she is heard that this woman is a heroine, She often disguised herself as a man, followed her father to the battlefield, and killed countless enemies.
Hearing these descriptions, Xue Xiuting trembled. He was just trying to be a dandy in the prosperous age, couldn't he!
"Then this property?"
Xue Xiuting said: "Who knew that woman... oh, that heroine sent someone from Haixi to send thirteen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and dozens of ancient paintings..." Xue Xiuting's expression was very indescribable, "These If I accept the item, it means that I agree to marry her, and I will naturally return it to her."
Lu Xiaofeng: "Are you going to withdraw from the emperor's finger marriage?"
Xue Xiuting said: "No...that's another story, but isn't her behavior an insult to me? There's no such reason."
It's like coming to propose marriage.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then what happened later?"
Xue Xiuting said: "I sent more than [-] people from my house, and I also invited the bodyguards of the Longhua Security Bureau to send back the property. Who knew that these properties were all robbed near Haixi without anyone noticing. Gone, neither my people nor the people from the Longhua Escort came back."
Lu Xiaofeng looked serious, "No one came back?"
"Yes." Xue Xiuting said, "I went to Haixi some time ago and found nothing. Besides, it was very chaotic over there, so I came back in a hurry."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you hope that I can find out the whereabouts of those belongings, and it's best to bring them back, right?"
Xue Xiuting said: "No, no, it's best to send it back to General Liang, otherwise I will have to marry the daughter of the Liang family in three months. Before then, this matter must be settled."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I..."
Xue Xiuting said: "Lu Xiaofeng, I beg you for this matter, not only do I want to pay you, I also owe you a huge favor, if you need me to help you in any way in the future, I, Xue Xiuting, will never refuse. "
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't say the refusal anymore, and he thought that Xue Xiuting had a lot of connections, so he might need his help in finding Huamanlou.
"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng said, "I promise you, but I can't guarantee the result."
Xue Xiuting was very grateful, no matter what, as long as Lu Xiaofeng agreed, this matter has already become six points.

Haixi Mansion and Wa Kingdom face each other across the sea, and there are often naval battles in the surrounding areas. General Liang has been stationed in Haixi Mansion for nearly 30 years. In recent years, Wa Kingdom has repeatedly invaded Daming. Several villages under the jurisdiction of Haixi Mansion were massacred last year. Angry, the relationship between the two countries is already extremely tense.What's more, in recent years, Japanese ninjas have been sent as special agents to investigate near Haixi Mansion. Their martial arts skills are strong and they are elusive, which has brought great pressure to the garrison of Haixi Mansion.
Lu Xiaofeng accepted this arduous task. Since Huamanlou was not around, he tricked Ximen Chuuxue to go with him to Haixi. They expected to stay in Haixi for about two months. In exchange, he invited Xue Xiuting to inquire about Huamanlou's The whereabouts of the building.
In this way, at the beginning of April, Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue went to Haixi from different places.
at the same time.
Where Li Miao and Hua Manlou appeared was another forest.
But in fact, neither of them had much hope, because this time they may not return to the Ming Dynasty, and it may not be exactly what they expected when they come back.
As soon as the two landed on the ground and stood firm, Li Miao took a look around and judged the weather. It should be around four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
"It's summer." Li Miao said, "A small forest doesn't look very dense."
Hua Manlou said: "It's not necessarily summer, do you smell anything?"
Li Miao was puzzled: "What did you smell?"
Huamanlou said: "The smell of the sea breeze."
When he said this, Li Miao felt that it was a little bit, she sniffed it twice, and said, "We have come to the seaside?" It is indeed not necessarily summer, some islands are like spring all the year round.
Hua Manlou: "Go out and have a look, let's go in the opposite direction of the sea."
Li Miao is a road idiot. If she is herself, she might not be able to get out of the grove after wandering here for a day, but Huamanlou is different. , came to the broad road, she felt very funny.
"We came out." She described: "This should be a village. I can see that some villagers are busy farming. There seems to be a village in front of us. We went to ask, and by the way, what time is it now... But ..."
"I know." Hua Man said, "It's okay, let's go."
He chuckled, and took Li Miao's hand naturally.
He was so gentle, which made Li Miao feel even more guilty, so between pulling back his hand and not pulling it back, he chose not to pull it back temporarily.Then let it go naturally...
Although Hua Manlou said lightly that it's okay, but Li Miao knew that he must be nervous.
She was very afraid that they would not come back, and she would never come back because of her previous experience. The possibility of returning to the same era is very small. The last time she went to Ouyang Villa to look for "Reversing Soul Grass" and then appeared in Qingshi School, the two time travels are the same. The dynasties are separated by only half a year, which is the latest and extremely rare.
The two were walking on the road, and the surrounding villagers looked at them vigilantly. They were dressed a little strangely, although they were similar to Daming, but due to the frequent invasion of the Japanese kingdom in recent years, the villagers were very wary and resistant to strangers.
Li Miao saw an old lady resting alone on the ridge of the field, so she walked over and asked, "Ma'am, what is this place?"
The aunt turned to look at the two of them, but she didn't have time to answer, so she packed up the things around her in a panic and ran away.
Li Miao was very puzzled. She wanted to go further, but unexpectedly, she was surrounded by a group of villagers within a few steps.
Fortunately, the villagers saw that the two were unarmed, so they didn't attack them, but Li Miao couldn't understand what they were saying, and Hua Manlou felt a little confused after listening to it for a long time.
He then said kindly: "Fellow folks, I... I and my wife came back by boat, but I didn't want to encounter troubles nearby, so I wanted to go back by land. Please help me."
Those people were a little relieved when they heard Huamanlou's accent, Huamanlou was an authentic Ming Dynasty official accent.Although the people in their fishing village can't speak official Chinese very well, they have heard it.
Not long after, a man dressed as a military officer came. The man exchanged a few words with the villagers, and then asked Li Miao and Hua Manlou, "Where are you from?"
Hua Manlou said: "I came from Hangzhou Mansion, and my wife and I went to Baiyun City by sea. There was an accident on the way, so we came here. We want to go back to Hangzhou by land."
The man still didn't think it made sense. The two people were neatly dressed, and they didn't look like they had traveled a long distance.But looking at the appearance of the two of them, he also knew that the two of them should come from wealthy families. His eyes would pass over Li Miao, and he didn't dare to look at her too much. She was so beautiful that it would be offensive to look at her more, but he couldn't help it. Take a sneak peek.
The military officer said: "Recently, there are always Japanese pirates coming. Your identities are unknown and you cannot live in the village. I will take you to Chengbei County."
Huamanlou said: "Chengbei County is the largest county under the jurisdiction of Haixi Prefecture, right?"
He is actually testing the dynasty.
The man said: "Yes, this place is very close to Chengbei County. I'll take you to the county. You have to live in the inn where foreigners register. You can leave after checking your identities." After he finished speaking, he added He said, "If you have a waist card, you can go unimpeded."
Li Miao was at a loss, she had never heard of any waist cards.
Hua Manlou said, "So that's the case, then we don't have to worry about it."
The man was very wary at first, but when Hua Manlou said he had a waist card, he asked, "Can you show me?"
Hua Manlou took out a jade waist card, the man looked at it, and really relaxed, and said with a smile: "So it's a nobleman from Hangzhou Mansion, I'm neglecting you." He sighed, and said: " In recent years, Japanese pirates have come to harass us from time to time, especially the coastal villages, which have almost no ability to protect themselves, so we are so nervous, but now General Liang has ordered people to set up patrols in each village and send liaison officers."
Hua Manlou paused, and said, "General Liang? Are you talking about General Liang Youjin?"
He originally used this as a test. If not, he would be wrong if he made a mistake. On the contrary, it is much better than asking the dynasty directly.
The man said: "Exactly, exactly!"
Hua Manlou laughed. Of course, he only smiled slightly on the surface, but Li Miao felt his hand trembling slightly, and even squeezed her hand unconsciously.
Hua Manlou said again: "This General Liang and I are old acquaintances...but we haven't seen each other for a long time, how dare I ask him if he is okay now?"
The military officer said: "General Liang is very good. He is a great benefactor of our Haixi Mansion. This year was originally the 30th year he was stationed in Haixi. The emperor invited him back to take care of his life, but the Japanese pirates came fiercely, so General Liang gave up. Seeing a good opportunity to go back and enjoy the blessings, I stayed in Haixi."
Hua Manlou said to Li Miao: "I met General Liang in the capital four years ago. At that time, General Liang mentioned that he would settle down in Hangzhou Mansion in the future. He has a daughter who is about the same age as you."
Li Miao knew the implication of Huamanlou's words, that is, they came back this time at the same time as Huamanlou left.
He was very happy, "If this is the case, you can meet with General Liang, and it can be regarded as meeting an old friend, and then we will go back to Hangzhou."
Hua Manlou said: "That's fine." He said to the military officer, "May I trouble you to inform me that the seventh son of the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River is asking to see General Liang?"
Listening to their conversation, the man knew that Hua Manlou was indeed acquainted with General Liang, so there was no way he could disagree.
Then he said: "The general lives in the inner city of Haixi Prefecture. If you want to go, I am afraid that you will not be able to leave Chengbei County until tomorrow, but I can inform the liaison officer in the county to check your identities first, and then arrange for you to go. How is the inner city?"
Hua Manlou knew that identity checks were necessary, and if they were allowed to go to General Liang so easily, then Ming's border defense would be really worrying, so he agreed.
That night, the two arrived in the north of the city and passed the identity check. On the second day, the two were arranged to go to the inner city of Haixi Prefecture.
But the two of them did not enter the city so smoothly. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they found that the gate was in a panic. After several miles, they heard crying and shouting.
The liaison officer who sent them here went to inquire for a while, only to hear that something happened in the city, and the gate of the city has been sealed off, and no one other than the residents of Haixi Mansion is allowed to enter.
The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I didn't update it on Friday and Saturday. It's because I was too tired because of the business trip. I took the time to update a chapter today, with a little more words, and made up yesterday's.
Thank you for your comments in the last chapter, I have read them all, and thank you for your serious comments. I will think about the copy again and seriously revise it.

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
For the past three months, Lu Xiaofeng has had a bad time. He has been looking for Huamanlou and Li Miao. He followed the route of the day, but no matter what, he couldn't find anyone, and even the clues were cut off halfway. Two clean.
This made Lu Xiaofeng very confused and shocked.

And at this moment, he came to Wanmei Villa.
It is now March, but Wanmei Villa is still cold, and wintersweet blooms for a long time, from January to March.
"So, you want to find someone for you?" Ximen Chuuxue asked.
Before this, Ximen Chuuxue had never seen Huamanlou.He is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou are also friends, but Ximen Chuuxue seldom leaves Wanmei Villa for a long time, except for Lu Xiaofeng, he doesn't like to have too many contacts with others.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes, I have exhausted everything I can, but I still haven't found him."

One day in April, someone found Lu Xiaofeng and asked him to help him recover his lost thirteen boxes of gold and silver treasures, including dozens of ancient paintings, which were priceless, and promised Lu Xiaofeng a very generous reward.
Lu Xiaofeng is well-known in the Jianghu. Apart from his high martial arts skills, the most important thing is that he has a very good reputation. As long as he helps in everything, nothing is impossible. People in the Jianghu care about reputation most.This is not the first time to pay for work, but this kind of work that promises a higher salary has never been a good job, and it is often a dangerous job.
At this time, Lu Xiaofeng misses Huaman very much, because he usually asks Huamanlou to do this kind of life-threatening work with him.

Huamanlou said: "Chengbei County is the largest county under the jurisdiction of Haixi Prefecture, right?"
He is actually testing the dynasty.
The man said: "Yes, this place is very close to Chengbei County. I'll take you to the county. You have to live in the inn where foreigners register. You can leave after checking your identities." After he finished speaking, he added He said, "If you have a waist card, you can go unimpeded."
Li Miao was at a loss, she had never heard of any waist cards.
Hua Manlou said, "So that's the case, then we don't have to worry about it."
The man was very wary at first, but when Hua Manlou said he had a waist card, he asked, "Can you show me?"
Hua Manlou took out a jade waist card, the man looked at it, and really relaxed, and said with a smile: "So it's a nobleman from Hangzhou Mansion, I'm neglecting you." He sighed, and said: " In recent years, Japanese pirates have come to harass us from time to time, especially the coastal villages, which have almost no ability to protect themselves, so we are so nervous, but now General Liang has ordered people to set up patrols in each village and send liaison officers."
Hua Manlou paused, and said, "General Liang? Are you talking about General Liang Youjin?"
He originally used this as a test. If not, he would be wrong if he made a mistake. On the contrary, it is much better than asking the dynasty directly.
The man said: "Exactly, exactly!"
Hua Manlou laughed. Of course, he only smiled slightly on the surface, but Li Miao felt his hand trembling slightly, and even squeezed her hand unconsciously.
Hua Manlou said again: "This General Liang and I are old acquaintances...but we haven't seen each other for a long time, how dare I ask him if he is okay now?"
The military officer said: "General Liang is very good. He is a great benefactor of our Haixi Mansion. This year was originally the 30th year he was stationed in Haixi. The emperor invited him back to take care of his life, but the Japanese pirates came fiercely, so General Liang gave up. Seeing a good opportunity to go back and enjoy the blessings, I stayed in Haixi."
Hua Manlou said to Li Miao: "I met General Liang in the capital four years ago. At that time, General Liang mentioned that he would settle down in Hangzhou Mansion in the future. He has a daughter who is about the same age as you."
Li Miao knew the implication of Huamanlou's words, that is, they came back this time at the same time as Huamanlou left.
He was very happy, "If this is the case, you can meet with General Liang, and it can be regarded as meeting an old friend, and then we will go back to Hangzhou."
Hua Manlou said: "That's fine." He said to the military officer, "May I trouble you to inform me that the seventh son of the Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River is asking to see General Liang?"
Listening to their conversation, the man knew that Hua Manlou was indeed acquainted with General Liang, so there was no way he could disagree.
Then he said: "The general lives in the inner city of Haixi Prefecture. If you want to go, I am afraid that you will not be able to leave Chengbei County until tomorrow, but I can inform the liaison officer in the county to check your identities first, and then arrange for you to go. How is the inner city?"
Hua Manlou knew that identity checks were necessary, and if they were allowed to go to General Liang so easily, then Ming's border defense would be really worrying, so he agreed.
That night, the two arrived in the north of the city and passed the identity check. On the second day, the two were arranged to go to the inner city of Haixi Prefecture.
But the two of them did not enter the city so smoothly. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they found that the gate was in a panic. After several miles, they heard crying and shouting.
The liaison officer who sent them here went to inquire for a while, only to hear that something happened in the city, and the gate of the city has been sealed off, and no one other than the residents of Haixi Mansion is allowed to enter.
The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I didn't update it on Friday and Saturday. It's because I was too tired because of the business trip. I took the time to update a chapter today, with a little more words, and made up yesterday's.
Thank you for your comments in the last chapter, I have read them all, and thank you for your serious comments. I will think about the copy again and seriously revise it.
