The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

Murong Qingcheng is not an approachable person.

He is proud, stern, and serious, and he regards the Murong family and his own status as very important, so he would not be willing to make friends with a person like Chu Liuxiang who is famous for being a thief, but he is really happy to accept Nangong Ling, the new leader of the beggar gang.

So he didn't think that his younger sister, Murong Qingqing, who was brought up by him since she was seven years old, would have contact with some messy people from the world.

After Chu Liuxiang asked that question, he immediately saw the thousand-year-old ice-like light in Murong Qingcheng's eyes.

Anyone who sees it will feel intimidated by the light.

Chu Liuxiang was never timid.He just touched his nose, and continued in a very peaceful tone: "I once heard Miss Lin say that Miss Qingqing is lively and active, and likes to play in the rivers and lakes..."

But he didn't expect that these words, to Murong Qingcheng's ears, were more like accusing Murong Qingqing of disorderly behavior and insulting the family style.

It was because he had never met another person like Murong Qingcheng in his life.

Or maybe he has seen it before, but such a person will never remain in his memory, and it will have no impact on his character and attitude towards life.

Only this time is an exception.

Because Murong Qingcheng's expression turned cold, he suddenly stretched out his hands and clapped four times with a unique rhythm.

Not two or three, not five or six, no more, no less, exactly four.The interval between the first two strokes is relatively long, while the last three strokes are very close, as if urging something.

As soon as the high-five ended, there was a loud whistle from outside the house.It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the doors and windows of the house they were in were all opened, from the outside.

It was only then that Chu Liuxiang and the others saw clearly that dozens of men in brocade clothes had surrounded the house, and all that was exposed from all the open doors and windows, except for human heads, was the black machine crossbow in front.

"Brother Murong, what do you mean!" Nangong Ling said angrily first.Among the crowd, he was already the only one who could question Murong Qingcheng like this.

Murong Qingcheng didn't answer, but walked out of the room slowly.Chu Liuxiang and Nangong Ling watched dozens of crossbows aimed at them, but neither of them dared to move.

In such a situation, whoever moves first will become a hedgehog first.

After Murong Qingcheng walked out of the door, he turned around and said with a sneer, "Master Nangong, please come out."

"What, what?" Nangong Ling was startled, and asked in doubt, "Brother Murong, if you're joking, you're probably going too far."

Murong Qingcheng shook his head: "I don't intend to hurt you, but if you care about your friend's loyalty, I don't mind one more person being buried for Qingqing."

Nangong Ling and Chu Liuxiang froze at the same time, and then looked at each other.They already understood the intention of Murong Qingcheng's actions.

It was because the arrogant and ruthless Murong Patriarch could not trust Chu Liuxiang's story, but suspected that he was the real murderer of Murong Qingqing.

Nangong Ling was so angry that he stomped his feet and said loudly: "Brother Murong, you are also an old Jianghu, can't you see that Lingmei died under the knife of Dafeng? It must be that the murderer first used Tianyi Shenshui to kill Zamuhe, and then killed him with the knife. Sister Death Ling, how could you..."

"Could it be that the person next to you is the one who did all of this?" Murong Qingcheng cut off his words coldly, without even looking at Chu Liuxiang, "The world-renowned thief leader, whether he wants to steal water or a knife, Isn't it all easy?"

Nangong Ling sighed again, shook his head again, and said anxiously: "You also know that men are never allowed to enter and leave the Shenshui Palace, and the person who can enter the palace to steal Tianyi Shenshui is obviously a woman, so how could it be Chu Liuxiang!"

Murong Qingcheng's eyes turned cold, and he said bitterly: "You also suspect Qingqing? The Murong family has always had a strict family style, no one will do anything recklessly, let alone follow the gangsters and steal!"

Chu Liuxiang listened to the two of them arguing, at this moment Fang sighed: "Brother Nangong, I'm afraid you won't be able to understand for a while."

Nangong Ling said loudly: "Whether you say it clearly or not, I always believe in you, Chu Liuxiang! I don't believe that, in broad daylight, the head of the respectable Murong family would kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

Chu Liuxiang hurriedly tugged at the skirt of his shirt, and said in a low voice, "Don't be a hero! You can help me by getting out first."

Nangong Ling's eyes flashed, and before he could answer, Murong Qingcheng sneered again and said, "I heard that brother Nangong just became the leader of the Beggars' Clan two months ago, so are you willing to abandon the cause of the beggars' gang and focus on protecting a thief?" ?Even if you don't care about your own life, how can you bear it if you make the entire beggar gang feel ashamed because of you?"

These words were so righteous and serious, even though Nangong Ling was full of reluctance, she gradually lowered her head.Chu Liuxiang was about to persuade him a few more words, but the black pearl on the side laughed and said loudly: "As expected of a family in the Central Plains, what you say is better than what you sing, and you have a dignified appearance, so you don't know what you are doing behind your back. People's business!"

"You don't need to worry," Murong Qingcheng's icy eyes suddenly fell on Heizhu's face, "except for the surname Chu, you are the ones who made troubles. I will definitely not let you live today!"

This time everyone present could understand that he believed that the murderer was only between Chu Liuxiang and Heizhu, so he simply wanted to get rid of them together.Seeing the circle of crossbows staring straight into the room like countless vicious eyes, Nangong Ling's palms couldn't help sweating.But Chu Liuxiang remained calm and composed, touched his nose with his hand and smiled, "Brother Nangong, do you hear that Patriarch Murong only wants our lives, do you still want to join in the fun?"

"This..." When Nangong Ling hesitated, he suddenly realized that he deliberately pronounced the word "two" hard, and couldn't help turning his eyes to the three of Su Rongrong who were blocked by Chu Liuxiang.Murong Qingcheng seemed to see their thoughts, and said calmly: "I won't kill women, let the three of them come out too."

Nangong Ling couldn't help being stunned.He couldn't tell for a while whether Murong Qingcheng said these words, whether he was sincere or just a gesture.Just because he knew Su Rongrong and the others so well, the relationship between these three girls and Chu Liuxiang might not be separated even by the threat of life and death.

He felt that it was impossible for him to persuade these three people.They will firmly express that they want to live and die with Chu Liuxiang, and they will not leave even a single step.

But what surprised him, and everyone except Chu Liuxiang, was that none of Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu, and Song Tian'er said a word, and they didn't even look at Chu Liuxiang. Walk out the door slowly.Li Hongxiu grabbed Su Rongrong's arm, and Song Tian'er grabbed Li Hongxiu's clothes, like three obedient children going home for dinner on time, and walked out.

Because of Murong Qingcheng's order first, the people outside did not take any action.

Nangong Ling was stunned for a long time, then turned back to look at Chu Liuxiang, and found that his demeanor hadn't changed a bit, neither happy nor disappointed, nor deliberately trying to hide any expression.Nangong Ling could only sigh deeply, and followed her out.

The room suddenly became empty, only Chu Liuxiang and Heizhu were standing side by side.

Murong Qingcheng slowly raised his hand, as if to issue an order.

Nangong Ling couldn't help clenching her fists.

Heizhu laughed suddenly and said, "Don't kill women?" His laughter shook everyone's hearts, and then they watched him dumbfounded as he tore off his turban and let down his long black hair.

His appearance and figure didn't change at all, but at the moment when his long hair started to fall away, his originally cold face revealed a bit of softness.

Could it be that this young man, who was as cold and hard as a black stone, and as fast and sharp as a sharp arrow, was actually a woman?

Even Murong Qingcheng, who had been keeping his composure all this time, frowned suddenly, and said, "You..."

Heizhu interrupted him and said with a smile: "How about me? I swallowed the words I spit out by myself, doesn't it feel uncomfortable?"

Murong Qingcheng returned to his calm demeanor in a split second, and said flatly: "Your father Zamuhe is absolutely responsible for Qingqing's death. As the saying goes, the father's debt is paid by the son, and you once made a big fuss about my Murong family, even if you are I will not let you go, the princess of the Western Regions. Prepare to die."

With a few words, he resolved a little bit of embarrassment, making it appear that his behavior was reasonable. Hei Zhuzhu couldn't help raising his thumb, and said with a loud smile: "Don't get me wrong, we children of the desert don't have the habit of begging for life. I just want to hear what you said. A good-looking guy, just find out what to say! Your tongue is really sharper than the fastest sword, and your skin is thicker than a city wall, no wonder you can be the leader of some family!"

Murong Qingcheng's eyes turned cold, and he said in a shy voice: "If you have anything else to say, you might as well say it now, or you won't have another chance."

After saying this, he raised his hand again, pointing obliquely at mid-air.

All eyes were focused on this hand at once.

Heizhu seemed to want to taunt again, but suddenly heard Chu Liuxiang's lowered voice beside him: "Hey, are you sure you can escape?"

"I don't have it, do you have it?" Black Pearl blinked dissatisfiedly, "Who said 'Hello'? Didn't I tell you my name?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and said, "Blame me, blame me! I have always thought that your name looks like a girl, but I didn't expect it to be true..."

But Heizhu smiled sweetly and said, "You didn't realize it for a while, so don't be depressed. I heard that all the girls in your Central Plains are delicate and timid, but I have been wearing men's clothing since I was a child, and even my father's subordinates are also called you. My little prince!"

These two people looked calm in front of dozens of crossbows, and they talked happily with each other. Everyone found it incredible, and a little admired when they thought about it carefully.Only Murong Qingcheng's face became more and more ugly, and the hand pointing to the sky suddenly fell down, shouting: "Let go!"

This command exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderbolt.Even people like Nangong Ling couldn't help but feel nervous, and turned away from looking directly at him.But after waiting for a while, I didn't hear the sound of arrows raining like I imagined, nor the sound of people moving and jumping in the wind, or the piercing sound of crossbow and arrows hitting the body, and the surrounding area was unexpectedly quiet.

Nangong Ling was stunned, and looked intently, and saw Murong Qingcheng's figure suddenly rushing towards the wall in one direction, before the person arrived, his right palm was pushed out!

Behind the brocade-clothed men holding crossbows by the wall stood a figure in white.

Nangong Ling suddenly realized why Chu Liuxiang's expression was so relaxed all the time, why Su Rongrong and the others left Chu Liuxiang without saying a word...and why, the crossbowmen carefully arranged by Murong Qingcheng are still standing like clay sculptures and wood carvings at this moment. By the wall, a crossbow. Arrows were not fired.

Full of flowers!

No one seemed to notice when he left the house.Because at that time most people's attention was focused on identifying the corpse and disputes over the facts of the case, and Chu Liuxiang was the focus of these disputes.

Pirate Commander has been famous in the Jianghu for nearly ten years, Nangong Ling is a young talent with the same reputation as him, Black Pearl is cold and arrogant, and he is a descendant of the royal family of the Western Regions.Regardless of whether these three people are enemies or friends, Murong Qingcheng will have some concerns about them.

Only Huamanlou, who is as gentle and quiet as the moonlight, and treats people calmly and politely, will quietly leave everyone's sight.Just like in the Murong Family's family, he blocked Murong Qingcheng's hidden soul-snatching weapon with a move of "Liuyun Feixiu", and he used two fingers to pierce the black pearl with a long whip, but everyone would still be unknowingly forget.

What's more, when he walked out of the house, Murong Qingcheng was still talking to Chu Liuxiang, and the crossbowmen outside hadn't surrounded him yet.

Only Hua Manlou, who is blind, can detect small abnormal sounds outside the house amidst the conversations of everyone.His keen hearing has almost become a special instinct, so he can detect hidden murderous intentions.

That's why he was able to quickly restrain the crossbowmen without making a sound when people had forgotten that there was no one in the room.

The one who didn't forget him was Chu Liuxiang.

At this time, Chu Liuxiang, who hadn't moved a finger in the room, suddenly flew out of the window, grabbing in front of Huamanlou, and met Murong Qingcheng's palm in the air.

With a loud "bang", the two figures each retreated a few steps, but did not continue to attack.

Murong Qingcheng stared viciously at Chu Liuxiang's face with a livid face.

Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to touch his nose, as if trying to block some smug expressions.

Su Rongrong, Li Hongxiu and the others ran over all of a sudden, chatting with Hua Manlou, asking questions, as if they were afraid that he might make a mistake.They didn't forget him either, but the experience of staying with Chu Liuxiang for a long time made them know how to assess the situation and wait for the changes.

Chu Liuxiang's smile froze suddenly, his gaze swept across Nangong Ling, and then to Heizhu who was slowly walking out of the room, and murmured: "The girl is not allowed to stay... I have been a big brother for so many years, and now I am afraid that I will be a big brother." I'm about to give way..."

But Heizhu smiled at him and said: "Don't feel bad, at least I still admire you." As he spoke, his expression turned cold, and he suddenly stopped smiling, and said word by word, "But if I know, my father's death and You are about..."

Chu Liuxiang coughed, turned his face, raised his hand to her and Murong Qingcheng respectively, and said, "Little prince, Patriarch Murong, can you give me some time to find the murderer of the two family members?"

Murong Qingcheng's eyes were still stern, but he didn't seem to dare to look him in the face, he only said: "Hmph!"

Nangong Ling also clasped his fists to Murong Qingcheng and said, "If Brother Murong has any doubts, I am willing to be a guarantee for Chu Liuxiang. If he does not come back once he leaves, I will ask Brother Murong."

Heizhu's eyes swept across Chu Liuxiang's body, and suddenly said loudly: "I don't need other people's security, I will follow you wherever you are going and whatever you are looking for, until you find out!"

Chu Liuxiang glanced at her in surprise, and said, "This...is it inconvenient?"

Hei Zhuzhu snorted, "What's the inconvenience? Didn't you and I walk all the way in the same car?"

Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to touch her nose.

Murong Qingcheng looked at the crossbowmen who were still unable to move due to acupuncture points, and looked at the people around him, and finally said coldly, "In this case, I will wait for Mr. Chu's investigation results. It's just..."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flashed, and he said, "Patriarch Murong wants a deadline?"

He thought that Gong Nanyan from Shenshui Palace had given him a one-month deadline to find out who stole Tianyi Shenshui, and now Murong Qingcheng was going to give him another deadline to find out who killed Murong Qingqing , I feel both angry and funny.

"Why do so many people ask me to do this or that within a time limit? What is the difference between me and being an official?"

Murong Qingcheng shook his head, and unexpectedly smiled, and said slowly: "Mr. Chu is at my house, have you seen Cousin She?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't expect him to ask such a sentence, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

Murong Qingcheng continued: "My cousin has been sick since she was a child. This time, it's a relapse of her old illness. She's almost recovered, but she still can't see the light of the wind, so she stays at home all the time. Since Qingqing has... I would like to invite Mr. Chu and his younger sisters to be guests at She Xia, and by the way, to be company with Cousin She, would Mr. Chu agree?"
