Rivers and Lakes Records

In less than a stick of incense, the servant brought melons and fruit snacks up, and wanted to use tricks to ask for some money. Seeing that he was lingering, Lu Jiutian stared at him, and the air-conditioning leaked out, and the other party immediately hit him. With a shiver, he bowed and went out.

Finally, there were no outsiders in the room, so Lu Mingtong let go of all his vigilance. He walked to the bed and opened a gap in the bead curtain, and looked at the high platform in the middle of the hall along the gap: "When will Miss Yingying come out?" ?”

His appearance revealed his thoughts at a glance. Luckily, Lu Jiutian had already seen through that he didn't really want to ask for news: "It should be soon, someone is already cleaning the high platform."

Lu Mingtong rubbed his hands again: "Hey, there is still a row of seats in front of the high platform, why is no one sitting?"

What he was talking about was the row of seats not far in front of the high platform. Different from ordinary poufs, the chairs were all smooth in wood, with complicated patterns, and were equipped with armrests and embroidered soft cushion backs. There was a person standing behind each seat. The beautiful woman with a clever smile is holding wine on a jade plate in her hand.

Behind the row of special seats are small ordinary round wooden tables for food, and everyone sits at the same table in twos and threes.In contrast, worlds apart.Lu Mingtong glanced at it, clicked his tongue and said, "It looks like it's for people with status."

Lu Jiutian said: "Young master also want to sit?"

Lu Mingtong said righteously: "That's not the case. I see that everyone in that row of seats has a beautiful woman holding a drink, and everyone is well-trained. They must stand until the end of the performance. I sit in the past for fear of causing them suffering."

"Whether the young master sits or not, they have to stand there." Lu Jiutian glanced at the door: "Here comes the person."

"What?" Lu Mingtong followed his gaze, and saw a few luxuriously dressed men shaking folding fans, chatting with each other with smiles on their faces, and at the same time following the old mother's guidance to the row of seats.

Lu Mingtong said: "Douya, come and see, do you know these people?"

Lu Douya has become his exclusive memory envoy, and when he receives an order, he can tell at a glance: "Master, the one in white is Lu Shilang's son, and the one in yellow is his childhood friend. Pass."

Lu Jiutian said: "It's the third son of the Minister of War."

"These are all rich and powerful." Lu Mingtong said in surprise, "Do I know all these people? Fortunately, I just insisted on sitting in a box, otherwise I would have to be skinned if I met them."

"Fengyunlu never records the royal grievances. The young master and them are just a one-time relationship." Lu Jiutian said: "But a one-time relationship does not mean that there is no danger. Avoiding them is a perfect strategy for the young master. We are now in a special period. Please, young master, remain vigilant and deal with it carefully in the future."

Lu Mingtong listened to his lecture all the way, but now he just nodded and remained silent.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, Lu Mingtong looked at the source of the commotion, and saw two people entering the door one after the other, the one who came in first was dressed in black with a face like a crown of jade, and the one who came in after was dressed in red, with a mask covering his face. A golden mask, the face beneath cannot be seen.

The man in black walked through the crowd to the seat in front of the high platform, stopped, and put his hand into his sleeve.

Lu Mingtong couldn't help but suffocate, he thought of those protagonists in the storybook, they would do such an action before releasing the hidden weapon.

Could it be that he happened to meet a fight in the rivers and lakes today?

Lu Jiutian closed his eyes, and moved his hand to the scabbard at his waist.

At the point where everyone's eyes were focused, the man's movements stopped for a moment.

Then, he took out a handful of things and threw it into the air——

Lu Mingtong took two steps back and exclaimed, "There is a hidden weapon!"

However, the fantasy scene did not appear. The man waved his long sleeves, and unknown petals fluttered one after another, spinning and falling on the ground, beside the chairs, and on the heads of everyone with dull expressions.

Red rain all over the sky.

Lu Mingtong was stunned.

With a blank expression on his face, the man took out several flower petals from his sleeve and sprinkled them into the air.

The hall was quiet, Lu Mingtong was dumbfounded, and the candle shadows were shaking, and the man in red behind him slowly appeared on the stage, standing tall, with a calm demeanor, the pattern of the golden mask was delicate and twisted, revealing a strange light between the flickering of the candle .Lu Mingtong stared blankly at the sight, and when he came back to his senses, the man who scattered the petals had already bowed to the man in red, and said something to the maid who was holding the jade plate, and the maid asked for a blessing and left. .

The man took the jade plate, raised his eyebrows, and saw that there was still a petal left on the stool in front of him. He did not know what kind of spell he had cast on the petal, and the petal turned around and fell to the ground.

Hongying sat down, and the young master of the Minister of War shook his fan and smiled, "It's been a long time since I saw you, but the appearance of Feng Jiaozhu can still cheer me up."

"Just kidding."

Hong Ying's voice was rather nice, but Lu Mingtong didn't have time to appreciate it right now, so he twitched his eyebrows, pointed at that person and asked, "Who is this? Why are you still wearing a mask?"

Lu Douya said: "A red dress, a golden mask, and flower petals on stage, young master, although I haven't seen the deity, but with this outfit, I can be sure that he is the current leader of the Demon Sect, Feng Ji!"

Lu Mingtong shuddered: "Who do you say he is?"

"The leader of the Demon Cult, young master!"

The leader of the Demon Cult appeared in front of everyone so blatantly, and appeared so...so grandiosely?Lu Mingtong's eyes widened: "He goes in and out of the fireworks field with such fanfare, isn't he afraid of being arrested and brought to justice by everyone's cooperation?"

This time I changed to bean sprouts, puzzled: "Why are you afraid of this?"

"Could it be that he has high martial arts skills?" That's right, the position of leader of the Demon Cult is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. "Could it be that the people here can't catch him together, so he dares to act recklessly?"

"No, what are you talking about, young master?" Bean Sprout was at a loss, "Why do people here want to arrest him?"

"Because he is the leader of the Demon Cult, shouldn't the leader of the Demon Cult be captured?"

"Ah..." Bean Sprout opened and closed his mouth, he understood what Lu Mingtong meant, but he didn't know how to explain it: "Master, you are wrong, the current Demon Cult is not what you imagined."

Lu Mingtong asked: "Are they not killing people?"

Lu Bean sprouts shook his head.

"No fire?"

Still shaking his head.

"No more rape and looting?"

Lu Douya said anxiously: "The Demon Sect has long since stopped doing those things!"

Lu Mingtong said dully, "How early?"

Bean Sprout counted for him with his fingers: "One, two, three... Back to the young master, the Devil Cult has changed its mind since the previous leader succeeded to the throne."

"Renew your mind?"

"That's right." Bean Sprout explained: "It is said that the previous leader fell in love with a girl when he went down to practice in the mountains, and he chased that girl every day, but the girl was from a decent martial arts family, so she was very concerned about the identity of the leader. I mind, after the leader was rejected, lovesickness became ill overnight, and the next day he let the whole sect abandon evil and do good."

"Since then, the entire sect of the Devil's Cult has changed its mind. Now when it comes to murder and arson, no one will think of them first."

"It's a good one to abandon evil and do good..." Lu Mingtong murmured, "Why do I think this sounds so ridiculous..."

"Whether you believe it or not, young master," Dou Sprout said, "everyone in the Jianghu believes it. After so many years, the members of the Demon Cult have been diligently assisting the Wulin League, and they have never made any trouble. Let's say that this time Xiao Daxia As for the disappearance, the Demon Cult has been helping to find it.”

"I still need to be quiet." Lu Mingtong sat down against the table: "Then, the Demon Cult has now become a decent school in martial arts. Who is the villain?"

"Of course it's Flying Red!" Bean Sprout suddenly got excited: "Master, you don't know that two years ago, the most feared evil force in the world rebelled! The leader of Flying Flying was instigated, and their left protector is now in charge. The strength of Yixian Feihong is not as good as before. After this martial arts conference, everyone should go to fight together. Who knows Xiao Daxia suddenly had an accident..."

"Yixian Feihong, the name sounds familiar." Lu Mingtong tried to recall, but his mind was empty, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Master, do you still have any impressions?" Dou Sprout said, "Before this line became popular, they were very insolent. Their leader..."

He wanted to continue, but Lu Mingtong raised a finger: "Hush."

There was commotion in the audience.

"Miss Yingying is coming out."

The hustle and bustle in the hall gradually spread, and the maids waiting in various places in the hall looked at each other and blew out the lighting candles.

In the darkness, a cold beam of light descended from the sky. Lu Mingtong looked up. It turned out that the stage was designed ingeniously. There was a gap above the roof that could be pushed open by manpower. The reflection of the mirror to the center becomes the best foil for the performers on stage.

The beautiful body walked out of the darkness wrapped only in tulle, and a pair of snow-white feet penetrated into the circle illuminated by the moonlight.

The spectators in the audience were all breathless, and even Lu Mingtong couldn't help but put his eyes on those round and small toes.Women are most afraid of being seen with their feet, but Yingying doesn't care, she smiles and draws a circle on the stage with her toes, taps lightly, the waist of the water snake wriggles wantonly, showing her beautiful body without any shyness in public.

At the same time as the pipa strings were plucked for the first time, Yingying's voice also came.She sat on the ground under the moonlight, and sang slowly, with a clear voice and a moving tune.The cooperation between the two is seamless.

After the song was over, the audience burst into applause.

"it is good!"

"Miss Yingying has another song!"

"Sure enough, it is the top card of Mingyue Tower, and its reputation is well-deserved. It really looks like an oriole out of the valley, which makes people can't help but think about it!"

Lu Mingtong quietly looked away. That girl Yingying really sang as beautifully as Douya said, but she was wearing revealing clothes, and the tulle could barely cover her private parts. , Every move is in danger of being exposed.

Lu Mingtong had never seen such a beautiful scene before, his face turned red with embarrassment, his eyes moved left and right, but he didn't look at the stage.He finally fixed his eyes on the leader of the Demon Cult, and saw Yingying pick off the flowers from her ears when she left the stage, and threw them into his arms.

"It's really a blessing..." Lu Mingtong looked at Douya, and said in surprise, "By the way, what is the name of the leader of this demon sect, and why is he wearing a mask?"

Bean Sprout was in high spirits, and whispered in his ear, "The leader of the Demon Cult is named Feng Ji. No one in the Jianghu has ever seen his appearance. It is rumored that he is especially handsome, with the appearance of a celestial being. He couldn't help but fall in love with his handsome face, so he ordered someone to make this mask for him, and he wore it day and night and never left it, just because he was afraid that others would see him and start a fierce pursuit."

Will you even fall in love with yourself?The corner of Lu Mingtong's mouth twitched: "It's so mysterious, no one has seen it before. Hey, Bean Sprout, do you think he can look better than Hero Xiao?"

Bean Sprout thought for a while, then shook his head firmly.

Lu Mingtong asked again: "Then, me or Xiao Daxia, which one looks better?"

Bean Sprout whispered, "Master is the prettiest in my heart."

Satisfied, Lu Mingtong pinched his cheeks, and looked down at the next show that had already started. After a cursory look, it couldn't be compared to Miss Yingying's astonishment.So he asked Bean Sprout to go out and summon the former servant.

Lu Jiutian took out a silver bump and waved it in front of the servant: "Do you know what it is?"

The little servant nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "Hey, if you want to know anything, just ask, the little one will know everything and tell you everything!"

Lu Mingtong looked at the size of the silver bump and felt a bit painful, secretly tugged on Bean Sprout's sleeve: "Just asking for news like this? Will the money be spent soon?"

Lu Douya puffed up her chest and said, "Young master, don't worry, this small amount of money won't trouble us."

Lu Mingtong then began to recall what kind of business the Lu family still had. His father would not accept bribes from others to rewrite the facts just by writing a Fengyun Lu, so where could he make money?

"Master." Lu Jiutian interrupted him: "If you have any questions, you can ask."

Lu Mingtong regained his composure, and looked at the obsequious boy: "Ahem, if I ask you today, after I leave this door, I will rot in my stomach, you know?"

The little servant nodded repeatedly, and Lu Mingtong said: "Let me ask you, do you know about Xiao Lang's disappearance?"

"I know! Who in the Jianghu doesn't know about this! The martial arts conference is about to start, and the Wulin League has made such a mess, and all the righteous people in the rivers and lakes have become ants on the hot pot!"

"Then let me ask you, do you know what's going on here?"

"Master Hui, the little one is just a servant of Mingyue Tower, how can he know the inside story." He laughed a few times, and when he saw Lu Mingtong making gestures to take back the silver lump, he became anxious again: "Hey, but the little one got the information from the gossip. I've heard some of them here, but I don't know if it's true or not, if you don't mind me, I'll tell you the little one!"

Lu Mingtong waved his hand: "Say."

"My lord, let me make it clear to you first. These are rumors in the market, and they may not be true." The young man wiped his sweat: "Some people say that Xiao Daxia disappeared in the Wulin League, and he The disappearance is weird. I was still sleeping in the room the first night, but the person disappeared early the next morning, and the room was clean and tidy, without any signs of fighting, and there was nothing unusual the first night. You said, Xiao Daxia With such a high level of martial arts, how could he not notice that someone was going into his room? So, someone must have drugged him in advance to stun him. Besides, who in this martial arts alliance can approach him and drug him without being discovered? Only members of the Wulin League left. The cook even tried to prove her innocence, but she was stopped by the elders of the Wulin League. To get rid of Xiao Daxia, I will take the position of the leader of the martial arts."

"Master, this little one has told you everything you know, look at this..."

Lu Jiutian coldly threw Yin Luan over: "Remember, don't tell anyone what I asked you about today. If I find out, you will definitely die."

"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, I don't have any other advantages, but this mouth is solid." The little servant took the silver and left with a smile on his face.

When the three of them returned to the inn, Lu Mingtong said: "I think what the boy said is wrong. According to what he said, the goal of the person who would do this is too obvious. Killing him for the sake of status is not to announce his purpose to the world, can you?" There must not be many people who can replace Daxia Xiao, if I were them, I would never use such a stupid method."

Lu Jiutian nodded with a sullen face, and Lu Mingtong said, "Do you think so too?"

"The young master is talented and intelligent, Jiu Tian dare not compare with the young master."

Lu Mingtong choked: "Hey, it's a pity that the silver lump is gone, Jiutian, next time you want to ask someone, remember to pick a smaller one..."

Lu Jiutian said: "Jiutian knows that the Lu family's intelligence network is the best in the world, things like today will not happen too many times, young master, don't worry."

"..." Lu Mingtong's eyes widened: "What did you say? The Lu family's intelligence network? The Lu family still has such things?" He looked at Dou Sprout beside him: "Dou Sprout, do you also know about this?"

Bean Sprout didn't understand, so he nodded: "I know, young master, the Lu family's records of important affairs in the Jianghu are of course inseparable from intelligence. The Yinshu Pavilion under the name of the Lu family is a first-class intelligence organization in the Jianghu. I forgot to tell the young master last time. If the young master still wants to investigate Xiao Daxia's matter in the future, he can use Yinshu Pavilion."

"Then why didn't you stop me when I asked that boy just now!"

"Because we saw how happy you are, young master... Bean sprouts dare not spoil the young master's interest. Young master, what's wrong with you, young master?"

Lu Mingtong: "I want to vomit blood."
