Although the Jinpeng Dynasty had declined and was so destitute that it couldn't even pay for the medical treatment of King Jinpeng, in a sense, this "skinny camel" still had a considerable family fortune.

When Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou followed Shangguan Feiyan to the current base of the Jinpeng Dynasty, what appeared in front of them was a very magnificent palace - this palace has a very large area and is also extremely decorated Gorgeous, if you only look at it from this point of view, no one would have thought that the owner here has fallen to the point where he can only wait for death.

"Although it looks bright and beautiful here, in fact, there is only an empty shell left."

Shangguan Feiyan smiled wryly and said: "In the whole palace, there is not even a single servant. If there is any place where the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, and smiled at Shangguan Feiyan: "I am already satisfied with a beautiful girl like you."

"Hero Lu was joking." Shangguan Feiyan blushed, avoided Lu Xiaofeng's gaze, and whispered, "I have notified King Jinpeng and Princess Danfeng in advance that they will entertain two distinguished guests later, Feiyan is just one Collateral descendants, how can they be qualified to entertain guests on such an important occasion."

After bringing Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou into the magnificent main hall, Shangguan Feiyan quietly left.

The hall was empty.

After confirming that Shangguan Feiyan had left, Lu Xiaofeng whispered, "Ah Qi, are you there?"

"It's there."

For the sake of caution, Miao Qi has been hiding in the dark, following Lu Xiaofeng and his party.

This is a strategy they discussed in advance.

No matter what plans Shangguan Feiyan and the others have, they always have a hole card, a hole card that may be able to turn the situation around at a critical moment.

This candidate must be Miao Qi.

Lu Xiaofeng looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and asked with some uncertainty: "Um, are you standing here?"

"Ah."

"Your trick is so powerful, I can't even detect your aura at all." After exclaiming from the bottom of his heart, Lu Xiaofeng got to the point and said, "It's enough to have me and Huamanlou here. , you can take this opportunity to explore this palace and see if you can find any clues."

"Okay, then you and Brother Hua should be more careful."

"You too, it doesn't matter if you can't find anything, just protect yourself."

After walking a few steps in the direction where Miao Qi was, Hua Manlou's face was slightly condensed, and he said in a low voice: "Ah Qi, I believe you can take care of yourself, and you also have to trust me and your Brother Lu, even if we are here What accident happened, you must not act rashly, okay?"

Blinking her eyes, Miao Qi replied, "Well, it depends on the situation."

If the situation is urgent, of course he can't only care about his own safety, but ignore the safety of Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng.

Hua ManLou suddenly showed helplessness.

"Haha, then I won't waste time here, see you later!"

Seeing this, Miao Qi immediately rubbed the soles of her feet with oil, said goodbye, and quietly left the hall.

As a man with a bit of difficulty in choosing, facing this vast building complex, Miao Qi was inevitably a little bit uncertain about the direction. He looked left and right for a while, and finally decided to follow the route that Shangguan Feiyan took when he left. Go explore.

Shangguan Feiyan did not lie.

This huge palace is really just a gorgeous empty shell. Miao Qi walked all the way, but he didn't find a living person, and the few rooms he opened and inspected were without exception, without any breath of life. Has been vacant for a long time.

It was only after walking to the end of this road that Miao Qi made his first discovery.

This is a small garden with overgrown weeds and a slightly desolate scenery.

Here, he saw the first living person other than Shangguan Feiyan.

It was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, she was just an ordinary person without any fluctuations in her internal energy, but what she did was so strange that Miao Qi couldn't help but stop and watch from the sidelines .

That little girl seemed to be looking for something.

It was noon at this time, and although it was late autumn, the weather was still a bit hot. She was holding a shovel, sweating profusely, digging around aimlessly, digging everywhere on the ground that was originally fairly flat. It was a pit, and the scattered soil splashed everywhere, making Miao Qi want to get closer, but there was nowhere to go.

Gradually, the little girl seemed to lose her strength, and her digging movements became slower and slower. It took a long time to dig out a shallow pit, but she didn't give up at all. She still waved her arms repeatedly, trying to continue to create a hole. A pit.

Miao Qi was also full and had nothing to do, so she even watched with relish.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from a distance.

Through the sound, Miao Qi could tell that there were two comers. The footsteps of the former were very soft, obviously a master with strong internal strength, while the footsteps of the latter were somewhat familiar... Was it Shangguan Feiyan?Miao Qi quietly walked a few steps to the corner, intending to continue watching.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and two figures appeared in Miao Qi's field of vision one after the other.

There were a man and a woman who came, and the one who walked in front was a woman, a very beautiful woman, she was wearing a gorgeous black long dress, she didn't smear too much makeup on her face, and she didn't wear any beautiful jewelry. The color is not reduced at all, it looks noble and beautiful.

But Miao Qi's attention was more focused on that man.

This man has a strange shape.

He held a sword in his first hand and a crook in the other. No, it seems inappropriate to use the word 'take' to describe it. When he was walking, when his sleeves were rolled up, Miao Qi saw that these two weapons were not held in his hands, but directly mounted on his wrists.

This person has no hands.

The two walked along the corridor until they reached the front of the garden.Stopping, looking at the little girl who was still squatting on the ground digging a hole, the woman in black was silent for a while, and said, "Xue'er, what are you doing?"

When the little girl heard the voice, she realized the arrival of the two of them. Miao Qi noticed that when the little girl saw the woman in black, there seemed to be a trace of fear and disgust on her face. With the shovel in his hand behind his back, he replied, "I, I'm just idle and bored, and I want to come here to weed."

"weeding?"

The woman in black twitched her mouth irresistibly, tilted her head slightly, and ordered to the man behind her: "Take her back to the room, look carefully, don't let her cause trouble everywhere, I have to go to the front hall to receive distinguished guests , I have no time to deal with the mess she caused."

The man didn't speak, but just looked at the woman affectionately and tenderly.

Then, he raised his feet and walked towards the little girl.

"Don't touch me, I'll walk by myself!" Seeing the man getting closer and closer to her, the little girl immediately jumped up, took a few steps back, and distanced herself from him. She glared angrily at the woman in black, Throwing away the soil-stained shovel in his hand, he muttered softly, "You bad woman, when I find my sister's..."

What did you find about my sister?

Miao Qi tilted her head curiously.

But the little girl didn't finish what she said.

She flicked her sleeves, snorted imposingly, then walked around the woman in black standing in the corridor, and strode away, while the man who hadn't spoken a word followed silently all the way. Behind the little girl.

The woman in black looked at the two people's distant figures expressionlessly. After a while, she took a step and walked in another direction.

interesting.

Miao Qi dragged her chin and smiled thoughtfully.

the other end.

After being left hanging in the hall for a long while, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou finally met the masters of the palace— King Jinpeng and Princess Danfeng.

The two sides exchanged some polite words at first, and then King Dajinpeng couldn't wait, and brought the topic to 'collecting debts from traitors'. He seemed to be very worried that Lu Xiaofeng would change his mind, and kept his posture very low, saying a few words every time. , it is necessary to focus on their current tragic situation.

Lu Xiaofeng also gave the other party enough face.

He put on a very patient posture, quietly listening to King Jinpeng's narration.

But actually?

He was busy flirting with Princess Danfeng who was standing behind King Jinpeng.

It was probably after talking about two sticks of incense, that King Jinpeng stopped talking.

He took out three portraits of traitors and asked Lu Xiaofeng to check them out.

Finally got to the point.

Lu Xiaofeng restrained his mind and looked at the three portraits seriously and carefully, but as he looked at them, the expression on Lu Xiaofeng's face gradually became ugly.

He knew all three people in the portrait.

Or rather, he knew it all.

Although the current appearance of these three people is slightly different from the portrait, any knowledgeable person in the world will not fail to recognize the identities of the three of them - Yan Tieshan, the richest man in Shanxi, Dugu Yihe, the head of Emei, And Huo Xiu, known as the richest person in the world.

The last one is Lu Xiaofeng's year-end friend.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's the three of them that you want me to find?!"

This is simply a joke, and it is a joke with his life.

These three people, no matter which one they are, are targets that no one dares to provoke easily in the Jianghu. The three of them added together, the weight is not as simple as one plus one plus one.

King Jinpeng suddenly showed embarrassment, he laughed dryly, and said weakly: "This king knows that this matter is indeed very difficult to do. If it hadn't really come to a dead end, this king would not have such an idea. But... But Daxia Lu, you are very capable, so you must have a way to solve this problem, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him numbly.

Hehe...he now seriously suspects that this matter is a trap, a trap set against Lu Xiaofeng, the purpose is to drive him to a dead end!

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer for a long time, King Jinpeng hurriedly winked at Princess Danfeng.

"Hero Lu."

Walking in front of Lu Xiaofeng, Princess Danfeng called softly, her beautiful eyes were full of pleading, and then said sadly: "Please think again, okay? Right now, besides you, my father and I I really can't find another person who can be trusted and entrusted to."

"I know, this matter is very dangerous. If you don't want to agree, it's reasonable. Danfeng doesn't mean to force it. I just want you to think about it again, okay?"

His eyes flickered slightly, Lu Xiaofeng lowered his eyes, avoiding the gaze of Princess Danfeng.

He seemed a little unable to bear Princess Danfeng's tenderness.

Her red lips parted slightly, Princess Danfeng seemed to want to say something more, but after seeing the obvious embarrassment on Lu Xiaofeng's face, she still chose to remain silent.

silence.

long silence.

Perhaps after a cup of tea, or perhaps a stick of incense, Lu Xiaofeng finally made up his mind.

He raised his head, took a deep breath, and under Princess Danfeng's despairing and somewhat expectant eyes, said in a deep voice: "Okay, I, Lu Xiaofeng, have agreed to this matter, but the ugly words come first, although I agreed In order to help you find these three people to collect debts, but there is no guarantee that this matter can really be done."

"Good good good good good good good good!"

Da Jinpeng King shouted the good words several times in surprise, and then added in a trembling voice: "It's okay, as long as you are willing to agree to this matter, Daxia Lu, I will be satisfied, and I will never make other demands. Come on, Dan Feng, hurry up and take out the wine from the Western Regions that I have treasured, and I must toast to Hero Lu."

"You don't need to drink."

Lu Xiaofeng waved his hands, and sighed solemnly: "No matter how good the wine is, Lu is probably not in the mood to taste it right now. The most urgent thing is to find a way to solve this big problem."

"This--"

Princess Danfeng looked at King Jinpeng with some embarrassment.

After being told by Lu Xiaofeng, King Jinpeng's excited mood also calmed down. He sighed lightly, shook his head at Princess Danfeng, and said, "Forget it, what Lu Daxia said is reasonable. Now is indeed not a good time to drink."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Xiaofeng said: "This matter is very difficult. If I am alone, there is probably no way to solve it. Therefore, I need to find some powerful helpers."

His eyes lit up, King Jinpeng immediately answered: "This is no problem, I can ask Xiao Qiuyu and the others to do this with you."

"No, they're not good enough."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head slowly, ignoring King Jinpeng's somewhat displeased expression, and said with a confident smile: "I have a very powerful friend, if I can ask him to help, I think there is at least a [-]% certainty that it will be possible. Done."

Princess Danfeng asked curiously, "Oh? I don't know who is this friend that Daxia Lu mentioned?"

Hua Manlou showed a clear expression on his face.

"You want to ask, Master Ximen to make a move?"

"Those who know me are Qitong."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and dragged a sentence, but then, the smile turned into a sad expression again.

"Oh, but it's really not an easy task to ask Ximen to take action."

"It's not just difficult," Hua Manlou said helplessly, "The difficulty of asking him to act may not be as easy as solving this matter."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "But you have to try it out before you know whether it will work or not."
