The secret of my solo martial arts

Chu Liuxiang came to Lanzhou this time to meet someone.

He recently received a letter asking for help. The letter was from a relative of one of his friends, saying that his friend named Lan Qiaoqiao disappeared in Lanzhou a few days ago, and he hoped that he could help find him.

Chu Liuxiang only knew one person in Lanzhou, and that was Ji Bingyan.

Ji Bingyan is now a rich man in Lanzhou, and has a wide network of contacts in Lanzhou. Chu Liuxiang asked Ji Bingyan to help him find out, and Ji Bingyan really got some clues.

Ji Bingyan said that Lan Qiaoqiao traveled all the way from Jiangnan to Lanzhou. When she was in Lanzhou, she stayed at a friend's house for half a month, and then disappeared.

This friend is said to be called Li Changge.

But Ji Bingyan also told Chu Liuxiang that he had never heard of the name Li Changge.

Ji Bingyan told Chu Liuxiang Li Changge's address and asked Chu Liuxiang to find it by himself.

So Chu Liuxiang came.

Based on the address, he found this two-story building on the bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou Prefecture.

In recent years, the management of the Yellow River has achieved remarkable results. In Lanzhou Prefecture, the Yellow River no longer bursts its embankment. Therefore, many literati like to live here, as if listening to the surging river water, they can compose a song' The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city, Wanren Mountain' comes from the poem.

But this small building was different from Chu Liuxiang's imagination. Although it was spring, the area around Lanzhou was always windy and sandy, so he had never seen so many flowers here, and they were all from the Jiangnan area.In the northwestern region where the temperature difference between day and night is huge and the wind and sand are constant, Chu Liuxiang can't help but wonder about this Li Changge to see such flowers.

Although he had never seen her, Chu Liuxiang had already determined that she must be a beautiful woman.

It seems that only an extremely beautiful appearance is worthy of the flowers all over the building.

As soon as Chu Liuxiang reached the door, the door opened, and a clever little boy said, "Excuse me, is this Chu Liuxiang?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "It's me."

The little boy said: "My master invites you to go up."

Chu Liuxiang thought to herself, it seems that this Mrs. Li is very well informed, and she already knew that he was coming.

No matter what, people always wanted to see each other. Although Chu Liuxiang was a little wary, she still followed the child into the door.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see a plaque hanging in the center of the hall on the first floor, with the three big characters of "Baihualou" written on it. The characters are powerful and chic.

The entire first floor is also full of flowers, which can be seen to be carefully planted and cultivated, and clusters of flowers are blooming like brocades, competing for splendor.

Chu Liuxiang sincerely felt that Li Changge was a wonderful person, and praised: "It seems that your master likes flowers and plants very much."

The boy smiled and said, "You must also think that these are raised by sister Changge?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Otherwise?"

The boy said: "No, it was planted by the playboy."

During the conversation, the two had already reached the second floor, and the little boy brought Chu Liuxiang to the balcony on the second floor, where Li Miao was waiting for him.

Chu Liuxiang has seen many beauties. He can recognize beauties not only by smelling their fragrance, but also by looking at their backs.

With just a back view, he could tell that Li Changge was definitely a beauty, but unfortunately, when the beauty turned her head, she was still wearing a veil.

Although Chu Liuxiang felt sorry, she would understand at that time.One reason is that this place is very windy and sandy, and today there is also thin yellow sand. There are not a few passersby wearing veils on the road. Second, it is also because most beauties wear veils to cover their appearance, so as not to cause unnecessary troubles.

Chu Liuxiang cupped her fists and said, "I'm going to Chu Liuxiang."

Li Miao said: "I am Li Changge, Mr. Chu, please sit down."

After Chu Liuxiang sat down, she asked straight to the point: "Miss Li must already know the purpose of my visit today."

Li Miao was taken aback: "I don't know."

Chu Liuxiang: "...then how do you know I'm here?"

Li Miao said, "I saw you on the second floor."

Chu Liuxiang: "..."

Li Miao: "..."

What kind of sand sculpture dialogue is this.

So both of them laughed.

The veil Li Miao wore was white and translucent, even though she couldn't see clearly, Chu Liuxiang could still see the outline of her face, she was indeed extremely beautiful.

So Chu Liuxiang was very itchy, wanting to see the beauty's face.

But he is not a sex/ghost, on the contrary, he is a gentleman, but a gentleman with a little more confidante.

The little boy brought Chu Liuxiang a glass of white water just now, Chu Liuxiang smelled a faint sour and alcoholic smell, Li Miao said: "This is a very famous kumiss in Northwest China, Xiangshuai can try it."

Chu Liuxiang took a sip, and the fragrance was indeed lingering on the lips and teeth, and the milk taste was not fishy, ​​and the wine was not too strong, on the contrary, it was sour and refreshing, very refreshing.

"Good wine!" Chu Liuxiang praised.

Li Miao said: "This wine was originally very strong, but after my husband improved it, it is very suitable for the taste of southerners."

When Chu Liuxiang heard this, she felt regretful, such a beautiful woman was already married.

"Dare to ask Mr. Ling?" Chu Liuxiang asked, after all, the beauty is already a beautiful woman, so he needs to avoid suspicion appropriately.

Li Miao said: "He went out to see a doctor and will be back soon. By the way, I don't know what Xiangshuai is here for?"

Chu Liuxiang thought to herself that Li Changge's husband is a doctor, and replied, "I have a friend named Lan Qiaoqiao, I heard that he lived with you for a long time."

Li Miao nodded and said, "However, Qiaoqiao left Lanzhou half a month ago, saying that she wanted to visit the small desert country."

Nowadays, the relationship between some small countries outside the region and the Ming Dynasty is not too bad. In recent years, the border areas have also stabilized, and there are very few wars. As an important part of the Silk Road, Lanzhou is also a fortress for the neighboring small countries to trade with the Ming Dynasty. , in Lanzhou Prefecture, you can see people wearing various costumes from outside the region, so it is not uncommon to go outside the region.

Chu Liuxiang said: "But she is missing."

Li Miao said, "Missing? How do you know she's missing?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Her family originally communicated with her every few days, but they haven't contacted her for half a month now."

The environment outside the territory is harsh, the people's customs are tough, and there are many problems such as language barriers. After half a month of no contact, Lan Qiaoqiao's family members are very anxious, so they entrust Chu Liuxiang to find someone.

Li Miao said: "I met Qiaoqiao in a restaurant in the city. She was in a bad mood and was persuaded to drink a few more drinks. The man wanted to take advantage of her, so I helped her. Her money was stolen. There is no place to live, so I brought her here."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Is there anything unusual during this period?"

"..." Li Miao was silent for a while, Chu Liuxiang couldn't see her expression clearly, but she knew that under the veil, her expression must be extremely hesitant.

He asked, "What's the problem?"

Li Miao said: "When Lan Qiaoqiao was at my house, my husband happened to go to a village in Ganzhou to see a doctor. I was not in good health for a few days, so I didn't go with him. Later, when he came back..." She said half, Unable to continue, she asked Chu Liuxiang instead, "Did Lan Qiaoqiao fall in love with a man when she was in Hangzhou?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly."

Li Miao asked again: "Is that man called Hua Wuque? He is probably in his forties now?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Exactly, I have met Mr. Hua a few times..." He suddenly stopped, remembering that Li Changge's husband was also surnamed Hua.

Chu Liuxiang didn't speak anymore, not because of other things, but because someone came.

The man went up to the second floor, and said with a smile in his voice, "Is there a guest?"

Chu Liuxiang turned her head and was taken aback for an instant. The person in front of her was exactly the same as Hua Wuque, only younger than Hua Wuque.

The author has something to say: The setting is: Chu Liuxiang is about 20 years younger than Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou.
