Before Mei Jingxian woke up, a scent of plum blossoms wafted into his nose.

He opened his eyes and immediately realized that he was definitely not in an inn.

Because no matter how good the inn is, the bedding on the bed will not use expensive Suzhou embroidery silk quilts, nor will famous calligraphy and paintings be hung on the walls of the guest rooms, and even a few half-opened plum branches are thoughtfully inserted in vases on the round table , On the opposite side of the bed, a piano table was thoughtfully placed.

He sat up and found that the sleepiness and coldness that had been present on his body all the time after being poisoned had disappeared without a trace.

Combining everything in front of her, Mei Jingxian suddenly had a very bad premonition.

As soon as he got out of bed, someone immediately brought hot water, towels, toothbrush and green salt.

Upon asking, this place really is Wanmei Villa.

Mei Jingxian had a smile on her face, but she scolded Lu Xiaofeng several times in her heart.

He thought of Ximen Chuuxue, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and he felt a rare panic in his heart.

After he finished tidying up his clothes, as soon as he opened the door, he was covered in snowflakes from the cold wind, and the thin feather veil hanging down his shoulders on both sides was half wet immediately.

The snowflakes in the north are not as small and gentle as in the south. Unlike Yangzhou, where the air is humid, the wind here is as cold as ice skates. Mei Jingxian had to go back to her room and take another cloak.

Wanmei Villa is worthy of its name. The atrium and vestibule are full of plum trees. Although the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, every time the cold wind and snowflakes invade, the flowers and branches tremble, and the clear and light plum fragrance becomes Intensify.

Mei Jingxian took a deep breath, and the cold fragrance of plum blossoms flowed into his mouth and nose, temporarily dispelling the troubles in his heart.

He followed the servants to the front hall, and before entering the door, his calf was knocked down.

Looking down, several deer ran out and surrounded him. Mu Chun and Yin Dong were biting the fluffy hem of his cloak from left to right, trying to drag him in.

Mei Jingxian entered the door, raised her eyes and saw two people in the main hall, "Master Ximen, Lu Xiaofeng."

Lu Xiaofeng was leaning lazily on the chair, glanced at him, then quickly turned his head back, waved his hands and said, "Jingxian woke up."

Ximen Chuuxue looked at him, his eyes darkened, "Sit down."

Mei Jingxian paused, and sat down beside Lu Xiaofeng.

He took off his cloak, met Ximen Chuuxue's gaze, raised his lips and said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Ximen, for saving your life."

Ximen Chuuxue stared at him for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I said, there is no need to say thanks between you and me."

Mei Jingxian's lips moved, but before she could say anything, Ximen Chuuxue turned to the waiting servant, "Is the medicine ready yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, an old servant immediately brought a hot soup, "Master, the medicine is ready."

"I have given you acupuncture for the past two days." Ximen Chuuxue turned to Mei Jingxian, stared at his pale lips, and frowned slightly, "Although there is no serious problem now, but the lingering poison is still there. You have to drink more pills."

Mei Jingxian frowned when she smelled the smell of medicine, took the medicine bowl brought by the old servant, and hesitated to swallow it.

Ximen Chuuxue turned to the old servant again, "It's time to serve."

When Mei Jingxian took the medicine without taking a sip, the food was already on the table.

The northern dishes are rich and fragrant, and the smell is very aggressive. The strong aroma diffuses and immediately arouses the greedy insects in the human body.

Lu Xiaofeng, who was lying dead beside him, was shocked and sat up straight.

Mei Jingxian looked at the bitter medicine in her hand, and then at the dishes on the table, the smile on her face froze.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at him calmly, "You can only eat after drinking the medicine."

Mei Jingxian: ...

There are plates of delicious food in front of him, but he is asked to drink the bitter medicine first... Believe it or not, he will perform a flowering first?

Lu Xiaofeng had already taken his chopsticks and started to attack the plate of sauced elbows.

The next moment, a chopstick came towards the back of his hand. In order not to make a hole in his hand, he had to quickly withdraw his hand holding the chopstick.

Lu Xiaofeng stared at Ximen Chuuxue with an ugly expression, "Do you still consider me a friend?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't even let me eat an elbow!"

Ximen Chuuxue put down the chopsticks in his hand, ignored him, turned his eyes to Mei Jingxian again, and said indifferently: "When he finishes drinking the medicine, you can eat as many sauced elbows as you want."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately stared at Mei Jingxian, and said righteously: "Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. How can such a grown-up be afraid of bitter medicine? Don't be afraid, everything will be over if you get bored!"

"What's the matter? What you said seems to be poison." Mei Jingxian smiled wryly, suddenly felt something wrong, her phoenix eyes narrowed immediately, and focused on Lu Xiaofeng's face.

"What happened to your eyebrows?"

Lu Xiaofeng's face froze, he covered his eyes to avoid his sight, and yelled, "What's wrong? I'm starving to death, and the heartless Ximen Chuuxue will wait for you to drink the medicine. You don't want to drink it all the time. Starve me to death?"

However, Mei Jingxian was not deceived by him. Seeing his suspicious appearance, she was holding the medicine bowl in one hand, and quickly tore off the hand that was blocking his eyes with the other hand.

"Lu Xiaofeng..." Mei Jingxian looked at him hesitantly, but after a while, he finally couldn't help laughing, "Where did your eyebrows go? Are they painted on?"

I saw that the place where Lu Xiaofeng's eyes should have had two thick black long eyebrows was completely clean at this moment, he only used a brush to draw two thick eyebrows, there was no abnormality at first glance, but upon closer inspection there was not a single hair. It looks weird.

Hearing his laughter, Lu Xiaofeng slumped on the chair in despair, and said angrily, "Okay, you've seen it now, you're satisfied, can you drink the medicine?"

Mei Jingxian coughed lightly, suppressing the smile on the corner of her lips, "What's the matter with your eyebrows? It can't be because you shaved the wrong place?"

"What else could be going on?" Lu Xiaofeng sneered, his eyes piercing Ximen Chuuxue like a knife, "Isn't it because he accidentally discovered a certain person's scandal, and the other person became angry and did such evil things to me!"

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at him indifferently, and said to Mei Jingxian: "If you don't drink the medicine, the dishes on the table should be cold."

Lu Xiaofeng's intentions were very obvious, and Mei Jingxian immediately realized that his missing eyebrows were written by Ximen Chuuxue.

Because there was still an incident in the middle, and Ximen Chuuxue was involved, Mei Jingxian subconsciously retreated three points.

He looked down at the medicine in his hand, closed his eyes suddenly, and gulped it down with the determination to drink poison.

The bitter medicine flowed into his stomach, causing a convulsion. He put down the medicine bowl, covered his mouth, and suppressed the vomiting reaction from his stomach.

A small bowl of milky white thick soup appeared in front of my eyes, and Ximen Chuuxue's voice sounded above my head, "Drink the soup."

Mei Jingxian picked up the small bowl of thick soup and sipped it, the delicious fish soup flowed into her throat, diluting the bitterness.

He raised his eyes, just in time to meet Ximen Chuuxue's gaze, and wanted to thank him, but suddenly remembered that he had said this sentence to the other party too many times.

Don't talk about other things, let's just talk about the detoxification and life-saving grace this time, how can a light thank you be able to offset it?

He didn't want to owe Ximen Chuuxue too much kindness, but things often didn't develop as he expected.

In his vision, this plum appreciation agreement must witness a result, either a continuation or an end.

If Ximen Chuuxue withdraws those wild thoughts, they will get along as friends as before, know each other well in the world, and they can entrust life and death to each other.

And if Ximen Chuuxue doesn't change his mind, then he will forget each other in the rivers and lakes, and he will not know each other when they meet.

But now that there is such a life-saving grace in front of him, how can he cut off contact with the other party and pretend to be ignorant when they meet?

If he really receives the favor and forgets to repay it, even he will look down on himself.

Mei Jingxian was distracted for a moment, so she could only avoid Ximen Chuuxue's sight, lower her head and concentrate on drinking the soup.

Lu Xiaofeng gnawed his elbow, and said vaguely: "Jing Xian, those killers seem to be hired to hunt you down, what guesses do you have in mind about the people behind the scenes?"

Mei Jingxian shook her head and said helplessly, "Your question is too difficult."

After he came to this world, he met many villains and many injustices along the way.Because he doesn't like to kill people, he often just abolishes people's martial arts. Most of these people are still alive. If someone who holds a grudge against him pays a big price to kill him, it is completely justified.

He also remembered that Sikong Zhaixing had been hired to steal his violin before, and then he was conspired and poisoned by the coachman on the way to Wanmei Villa, and then the black-clothed killer appeared. The airtight circle of his body was about to lock him inside.

Lu Xiaofeng also thought of Sikong Zhaixing, his face darkened, "I'll write a letter to Houjing later."

"It's useless." Mei Jingxian shook her head, "You are a friend of Sikong Zhaixing, you should know that he will never disclose information about his employer."

"The two killers the night before yesterday..." Lu Xiaofeng turned to Ximen Fuxue, the last two killers who appeared possessed such unique and superb swordsmanship, they would never be unknown people in the world.

"The night before yesterday?" Mei Jingxian was surprised, "Did another killer show up the night before?"

He slept for a long time and woke up in Wanmei Villa without knowing anything about what happened before.

Ximen Chuuxue nodded, "Zhongyuan Yidianhong and Xue Xiaoren."

"Soulhunting Sword Wuying, Central Plains is a little red, he lost his left hand with the sword, and now he may not be able to be a killer." Lu Xiaofeng skipped a bit of red, and mentioned another person, "Who is Xue Xiaoren?"

"What's the relationship between him and the man in blood?"

It's no wonder that Lu Xiaofeng linked Xue Xiaoren and Xue Yiren together, it's because their names are too similar.

Ximen Chuuxue's face was condensed, and he said coldly: "He is Xue Yiren's younger brother, and he is a crazy fool."

"A fool can practice such a high level of swordsmanship, and he can also be a killer to kill people?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't believe it, the appearance of the gray-clothed man at that time did not look like a crazy person at all.

"Who says fools can't practice swords?" Ximen Chuuxue reached out and put a plate of braised mutton in front of Mei Jingxian, and said, "It is precisely because I am stupid that I can become the leader of the killer organization."

Mei Jingxian and Lu Xiaofeng immediately understood that Xue Xiaoren pretended to be a fool on the surface, but secretly formed a killer organization to kill people for a living.

Mei Jingxian had heard of Xue Yiren's name.

Before Yan Nantian, the number one sword in the world, became famous all over the world, this "man in blood" was a well-deserved number one swordsman in the world.

Both Xue Yiren and Yan Nantian are known as No.1 among the Jianghu swordsmen. The reason is that the two are not of the same generation. The rivers and lakes move around.

But Yan Nantian was in his prime of life, traveled all over the world, hoeed the strong and helped the weak, and had a great reputation. Coincidentally, the two had never met, let alone competed.

Xue Yiren retreated to the forest, Yan Nantian didn't want to make a name for himself, but the two each had their own fans, and with each sticking to their own words, these two "No.

Of course, these are things of the past.

In recent years, Ximen Chuuxue's fame has risen. After the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City that attracted the attention of almost the entire world, Ximen Chuuxue has replaced Yan Nantian as the pinnacle swordsman in the eyes of most people in the world.

"Good boy!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at him pointedly, and said ambiguously: "On the surface, he stayed at home without saying a word, but secretly investigated the details of those killers, and got so much in just one day. The news really belongs to you!"

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at him indifferently, but didn't speak.

Mei Jingxian's eyes dimmed, she didn't want to think deeply, and ate quietly.

Lu Xiaofeng thought more, "Xue Xiaoren is the leader of the killer organization, does Xue Yiren know about this?"

"I didn't know before," Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently, "I should know now."

"With Xue Xiaoren's death, the clues to the murderer have been cut off." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, then turned to see Mei Jingxian who was eating seriously, and pulled the white feather veil hanging from his shoulders, hating iron for not becoming steel: " Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat! Your heart is really big enough, can't you think about the identity of the person behind the scenes?"

Mei Jingxian slowly straightened the collar of the feather veil that had been torn off by him, and said with a smile, "What's the rush? Foxes always show their tails."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him, then at Ximen Chuuxue, sighed dejectedly, and lifted his chopsticks, "Come on, eating is the biggest thing in the world, you are not in a hurry, so why should I be in a hurry."

Mei Jingxian was also hungry, she ate three bowls of rice before stopping.

It wasn't until he finished his meal that he realized that he seemed to be a bit full.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at him, and suddenly said: "The wind and snow outside have stopped, why don't we go for a walk to digest food?"

Mei Jingxian hesitated for a while, then looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed dryly, picked up the jug on the table and left, "I've been tired for two days, I'd better go back to my room and sleep."

Mei Jingxian looked at Ximen Chuuxue, thinking in his heart that this trip must have a result, and any delay would be of no benefit to Ximen Chuuxue, so he nodded, "Okay."

Most of the plum blossoms in Wanmei Villa are white varieties. Although they haven’t bloomed yet, at noon after snowfall, the white dots complement the snow, which is quite interesting.

The two walked side by side, both silent.

Mei Jingxian's clothes today were covered with a white feather gauze, the end of which was cut into the shape of crane feathers, falling from both shoulders, like a crane landing in the clouds.

The feather gauze is extremely thin, and when a gust of wind blows, the white gauze flutters up, brushing the back of Ximen Chuuxue's hand from time to time.

Ximen Chuuxue flipped his hands, silently holding the piece of white gauze tightly in his hands.

Mei Jingxian walked absently with her head down for a while, feeling more and more time-consuming, and just about to speak, suddenly felt her scalp tighten, followed by a burst of coolness.

When he stepped back, he suddenly felt that his scalp was being pulled even tighter.

"Don't move." Ximen Chuuxue pressed his shoulder, "The hair crown and flower branches are entangled."

Hearing this, Mei Jingxian stiffened her neck, feeling extremely embarrassed.
