figure.When he walked to the door of the bedroom, he saw Su Jie was wolfing down a bowl of medicine with Hua Manlou's hands, as if a person who had trekked in the desert for half a month suddenly saw a source of water, because he drank too eagerly and finally choked. for a moment.
He coughed and said with difficulty: "Huamanlou...if I drink again...ahem...I will..."
Hua Manlou patted him on the back softly, with a smile on his face: "You should think it over first."
Su Jie: "..."
Su Jie:? ? ?
Is this the Huamanlou I know?
Lu Xiaofeng watched it very interestingly. He thought he was good at exasperating people, but after all these years of acquaintance with Huamanlou, he rarely got the upper hand. Sometimes it can make him speechless.
Hua Manlou is really a gentleman, but sometimes he is not a real gentleman.
He coughed lightly, then leaned against the door with a playful look on his face: "I didn't bother you two, did I?"
Hua Manlou nodded, "You're back."
Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands: "Thanks to my coming back at the right time, I was able to see such a good show."
Hua Manlou said: "You can always catch up with good shows, just like you can always get into trouble."
"Trouble? What trouble did I get into again?" Lu Xiaofeng looked innocent.
Su Jie sneered: "Of course it's not troublesome now, because I still can't lift a knife."
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard: "Looks like I have to watch a few more good shows now, and I won't cause this trouble in vain."
Su Jie realized that Lu Xiaofeng had really drifted away.
If I can't lift a knife now, can I still be able to lift a knife for the rest of my life?
He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng with the words "remembering grudges" written brightly, and Lu Xiaofeng became agitated immediately, and changed the subject calmly: "Huamanlou, the Menghe Lantern Festival will be in half a month, and I'm going to wait after the Menghe Lantern Festival." leave."
Hua Manlou smiled and nodded: "That's fine, you haven't participated in the Menghe Lantern Festival for many years."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled happily: "Brother Hua, now you can finally see the river lanterns that are full of ponds with your own eyes, why don't you count how many lanterns there are this year?"
Hua Manlou also smiled and said, "It's not [-] lamps anyway."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Do you still remember?"
Hua Manlou: "After all, Brother Lu is the only one who counts river lights for the blind."
Seeing the two people looking at each other and smiling, Su Jie was expressionless and lost in thought...
Am I supposed to be under the car now?
Half a month later, Su Jie was almost able to get out of bed and walk around, but her body was still a little weak, but it was much better than lying on the bed and getting moldy.
On the day of the Menghe Lantern Festival, as night fell, not only did the city not gradually become silent as usual, but it became more and more lively with the lights lit up one after another. Even through the courtyard wall, you could hear laughter and children running outside. The sound of frolicking across the long street.
The lamps on the street, the lamps in the river, and the lamps in the hands of passers-by gather together to form a sea of stars in the world, which is brilliant and gorgeous.
In the peaceful and prosperous age, the world of fireworks is nothing more than this.
"Jiangnan is really a good place." Su Jie couldn't help sighing.
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "When you are in better health, we can also go on a trip together. The scenery in Suzhou and Hangzhou is very good."
"Above heaven, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou." Lu Xiaofeng quickly grabbed a sachet that was flying towards them: "There are many beautiful scenery, and there are even more beauties. But the building is full of flowers, and you haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how do you know the scenery is good?" ?”
Hua Manlou shook his folding fan: "Although I haven't seen it, I've heard of it. What's more, a place where a prodigal like Lu Xiaofeng can linger and forget to return will naturally not be a place for nothing."
Lu Xiaofeng laughed suddenly: "That's right."
At this moment, Su Jie glanced at the place where the sachet flew over just now, a young girl stomped her feet in frustration, then rolled up her champagne and threw it towards this side, Lu Xiaofeng pinched the veil precisely with two fingers .
Girl: "..."
Su Jie raised her eyebrows: "They don't seem to want to give it to you."
"Of course I know." Lu Xiaofeng looked up and down the sachet and handkerchief with a smile, and then put his hands in front of Huamanlou, "Maybe they want to give it to Playboy, I don't feel so hurt every time I walk next to him." The woman welcomes you. Here, Huamanlou is here for you."
Hua Manlou didn't pick it up, but shook his head: "Brother Lu, don't be joking."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly moved the fan in his hand towards Su Jie, and a pink silk flower was falling on the white fan, and a sweet fragrance could be smelled by the evening wind.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng smirked and said, "Hua Man Lou, it doesn't seem like this is for you?"
Su Jie raised the corners of her lips: "Who knows, anyway, we don't need this kind of beauty."
Lu Xiaofeng reached out and took the silk flower: "You don't want to give it to me. Originally, a flower full of buildings is enough to steal my limelight, but now I have one more you. Even if I grow four more eyebrows, I'm afraid no girl will look at me. gone."
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Then you will become Lu Xiaofeng with eight eyebrows."
Su Jie: "It could also be Lu Xiaofeng with full eyebrows."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was being targeted.
At this time they happened to walk on a bridge, looking at the dotted river lanterns in the lake, Lu Xiaofeng's heart suddenly moved, and he said excitedly: "It's such a beautiful day, why don't we make a bet?"
Hua Manlou closed the fan: "What are you betting on?"
"Count the river lanterns." Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the river lanterns in the pond, "Let's each say a number first, and then start counting. Whoever has the closest number at the end wins."
He rubbed his chin: "For the lottery... whoever wins, the other two will each agree to one thing, how about it?"
Before Hua Manlou could speak, Su Jie pointed to the endless stream of people setting off lanterns by the river bank: "Even if I count them until dawn, I can't finish counting."
After taking a look, Lu Xiaofeng had to admit that what Su Jie said made sense.
"Forget it then. I don't mind counting the lanterns all night, but it's not easy to spend all the good time counting the lanterns on the river. Then I'm too confused." Lu Xiaofeng sighed regretfully.
Su Jie looked at the river lanterns all over the lake, and smiled after a while: "We can do something else."
Lu Xiaofeng heard the words and looked over: "What are you doing?"
Su Jie touched a small stone lion on the bridge, and the candlelight flowing with the water reflected in his eyes: "It's such a beautiful day, so naturally we should do something good."
"What good thing?" Hua Manlou asked softly.
"Look at these lanterns." Su Jie raised his chin to signal, "Each one has a sincere wish, why don't we choose one at random and make it come true."
In short, smoke a koi.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "This is interesting, but if someone wants gold and silver, I don't have such great skills."
Su Jie's expression was indifferent: "The power is inexhaustible, and the blessings are inexhaustible. Since we are doing good deeds, we should stop as soon as possible."
At this time, a young couple who had just finished setting off the river lanterns walked past them.
Woman: "I hope God can bless me to conceive my husband's child as soon as possible."
Man: "Don't worry, lady, there will definitely be some, and the river lanterns at the Lantern Festival every year are very effective."
Immediately, the expressions of the three people at the bridgehead became different.
Lu Xiaofeng desperately suppressed a smile: "Brother Su, if you get such a lamp, what are you going to do?"
Su Jie gouged him out with her eyes: "Am I God? Let God do what only God can do."
Lu Xiaofeng supported the stone railing on the bridge and laughed for a while, Su Jie slapped him on the shoulder: "Enough, if you continue like this, others will think you are sick."
People passing by can't help but take a look.
Lu Xiaofeng stopped laughing, then jumped off the bridge, like a flying bird flying over the water, with both feet on the lake, he quickly picked up a river lantern and returned to the bridge in an instant.
Lu Xiaofeng's lightness kung fu is already unsurpassed in the world.
He turned the lantern around in his hand, and couldn't help laughing after seeing the small characters on it: "This is actually a sentimental lantern."
Su Jie took it, only to see two lines of poems written on it.
The first line: May I be like a star king like a moon, Zhou Lang.The handwriting is graceful and elegant, obviously it is from a woman.
The second line: Every night streams bright and clean, Yun Niang.The handwriting is thin and strong, and it should be a man.
No wonder Lu Xiaofeng said it was a sentimental lamp.
Su Jie felt it carefully, but shook her head: "This won't work."
Lu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously: "What do you mean no?"
Su Jie handed the river lantern to Hua Manlou, and after a while, Hua Manlou sighed, "It's really not possible."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the two of them, once again feeling isolated: "What are you two doing?"
Su Jie handed the lamp back to Lu Xiaofeng: "The moon is an ever-changing thing. It is cloudy, sunny, waxing and waning. What you see is different every day, but the stars may still look the same as you see for a hundred years or a thousand years."
Lu Xiaofeng understood, but looked at the two of them suspiciously: "How do you know?"
Su Jie and Hua Manlou looked at each other and smiled: "This is a secret."
Lu Xiaofeng was sure that he was indeed isolated, this time he had proof.
He raised the river lantern: "Then what about this?"
"Naturally put it back where it came from, and then bring a new one."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the lamp: "Really just leave it like this?"
Su Jie pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile: "There is no way, do you know the Persian insanity technique? I will also do a little of this kind of thing. I guarantee that the moon will be devoted to the stars for a lifetime, but such "sincerity" is meaningful." Is it?"
"We think it's meaningless, but others may not."
Even so, Lu Xiaofeng still put the lamp back, and then chose a new one, this time the wish was simpler, begging for his mother to recover from her illness sooner.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It depends on Huamanlou, I don't know how to treat diseases."
Su Jie held the lamp and led them to find the owner of the lamp. In a very remote and dilapidated house, only a young boy and his old mother lived here.After hearing about their intentions, the young man was so moved that he wept, and quickly invited them into the house.
"Lu Xiaofeng, do you think that inn is a bit strange?" Hua Manlou was seeing a doctor at the side, while two other people who didn't know medical skills stood by the window and waited. Su Jie suddenly pointed to a place called "Yuelai Inn" not far away. Fang Fang casually said to Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng looked in the direction he pointed, and he saw a big inn. He stroked his beard and nodded: "It's really strange that such a big inn has at least thirty or forty rooms, but it's in such a remote place. Ordinary people probably won’t be able to find it.”
At this time, more than a dozen people pulled several carts of wood and stopped at the entrance of the inn, and then two people came out of the inn. Su Jie couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the leader.
It turned out to be an acquaintance.
☆、Chapter 64
Su Jie really didn't expect to see Gong Jiu again here.
But I don't think it's strange to think that every time I meet this person, it's under unexpected circumstances.
It is quite normal for a person who behaves strangely if his whereabouts are surreptitious.
It's just that this time he was not followed by a beautiful girl, but a man with a ferocious face and only one arm and one leg. For people in the Jianghu, such an existence is either a useless person or a super expert, and Gong Jiu's side is definitely not good. There will be cripples left.
Su Jie felt that Gong Jiu must be messing around, and he didn't need any evidence, that's what his intuition told him.
But he's not Lu Xiaofeng, he won't be troubled to come to his door, and he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, no matter what conspiracy Gong Jiu is planning, he and Huamanlou will not be involved.
But not long after, he realized that being a person really shouldn't be too rigid, because he forgot that although he is not Lu Xiaofeng, he is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, especially Huamanlou.
After seeing the illness, they left here, but Su Jie and Hua Manlou went back after visiting for a long time, because Hua Manlou calculated the time and thought that Su Jie should go back to take medicine.
Su Jie: "..."
Hua Manlou tenderly said to Su Jie, who was full of rejection, "You can't stop the medicine now, and the Menghe Lantern Festival will not be too late next year."
Su Jie: ... All right, I'm used to you.
Su Jie bought a lantern from a stall on the side of the road, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "You want to put a lantern too?"
"I don't want to." Su Jie took the pen from the stall owner and told him to write his wish, and while drawing on the lantern, he replied: "It's better to ask God than to ask for others, and it's better to ask for others than to ask oneself. My wish will come true by myself."
After finishing speaking, he stopped writing and handed the lantern to Hua Manlou: "It's a beautiful day, you can't leave empty-handed."
Hua Manlou took it, and saw a blooming flower painted on the lantern. He was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile softly. This smile fell into Su Jie's eyes, and he felt that the lights of the whole long street were dimmed. Pale.
Immediately Hua Manlou said softly: "Since this is the case, I should naturally reciprocate."
After speaking, he also took off a lamp and handed it to Su Jie. On the lamp were two beautiful birds flying in front of each other.This pattern is quite new. I have never seen it before passing by so many stalls. Su Jie took a look: "What kind of bird is this?"
Hua Manlou smiled helplessly: "This is a wild goose."
Su Jie raised her head and looked at him immediately upon hearing this.
Hua Manlou asked, "Have you ever read "Yanqiu Ci"?"
"No." Su Jie looked a little dazed.Although he hasn't read any Yanqiu Ci and doesn't know wild geese, he still knows the symbolic meaning in the folk!
Hua Manlou nodded, then took the pen on the stall and wrote a poem, and handed it to Su Jie again after finishing writing.
Su Jie took a look and was stunned.
Although he was the one who made the move first, Hua Manlou seemed to be too foul.
It's scary to be a cultural person.
He couldn't help laughing: "Hua Man Lou, if you are a vagabond like Lu Xiaofeng, I'm afraid no one in the world can resist you."
Hua Manlou smiled: "Luckily I am not."
Su Jie: "Yes, fortunately you are not, otherwise my rivals in love will spread all over the world..."
The two talked and laughed while walking slowly towards Baihualou hand in hand.
After returning to Baihualou and drinking the medicine, Su Jie drank a few sips of fragrant tea with a teacup to suppress the bitter taste, and suddenly felt a familiar colic in his heart.
He frowned calmly, and was about to endure the comeback curse silently, but suddenly his heart moved when he saw the two lamps on the table.
He smiled and looked up at Huamanlou: "Huamanlou, before the good night tonight, would you like to do another good deed?"
Hua Manlou turned his head sideways: "What good thing?"
Su Jie: "Save people."
Hua Manlou nodded: "Of course, who do you want to save?"
Su Jie got up and walked in front of Huamanlou: "The owner of Baihualou will help all those who need help who enter the small building."
He put one hand on the table, leaned slightly and approached Hua ManLou: "Would that playboy help me?"
Hua Manlou: "..."
Even if he was an idiot, he wouldn't think that Su Jie's so-called "save" was the same concept as the ordinary meaning of "save".
Besides, Hua Manlou is not an idiot at all.
At this time, Su Jie picked up the teacup full of flowers with the other hand, and poured the remaining half cup of tea on the candle. The candle was extinguished instantly, and the room was plunged into darkness.
But it seems that another pot of hot oil has been poured into the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere.
Su Jie lowered his head slowly in the dark, with a bewitching smile in his tone: "If you don't talk, Mr. Su, I will take it as your consent."
"Of course, I have to ask Playboy to teach me..."
The soft whispers became lower and lower, and finally disappeared between the lips and teeth of the two.
Lu Xiaofeng came back only the next morning. When he was alone, he always liked to find wine and beauties to accompany him, and beauties also liked a generous and funny man like him, so he was always the most popular in brothels. The kind of guests that are welcome.
When he came back, Su Jie was sitting lazily watching Huamanlou watering the flowers, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him and said casually: "Your complexion seems to be much better than yesterday."
"Really?" Su Jie raised the corner of her mouth when she heard the words, looked at Huamanlou and said, "Maybe it's all due to Huamanlou's meticulous care last night."
Lu Xiaofeng felt that his tone seemed a little weird, but he nodded in agreement: "Yes, with him taking care of you like this every day, your body must recover soon."
Huamanlou stopped watering: "..."
Two days after the Menghe Lantern Festival, Lu Xiaofeng left. He was full of energy when he left. He is a wonderful person who likes adventure, good wine, beauties, and friends. It is difficult for such a person to leave the rivers and lakes. , because once he leaves, his life will lose a lot of fun.
Su Jie originally thought that after Lu Xiaofeng left, he would not see him again for at least a few months, but he ignored Lu Xiaofeng's ability to make trouble, and he didn't come back within a month, but he personally found out the trouble he caused Come to the door.
"Are you safe?" Gong Jiu appeared in Baihualou wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a cold and dignified expression.
Although he came up alone, there are quite a few people waiting downstairs to listen to him at any time. This posture is really not good for the visitor.
Su Jie had no intention of making false greetings with him, and asked lightly, "What are you doing here?"
Gong Jiu looked at him and replied: "Come to arrest you and Hua Man Lou."
"reason?"
"Lu Xiaofeng slept with my woman."
Su Jie: "..."
Hua Manlou: "..."
The small building suddenly fell into dead silence, and the scene was once very embarrassing.
After a while, Su Jie clenched his fist and put it on his lips and coughed: "That... I am very sorry for what happened to you."
However, the upturned corner of his mouth still betrayed his true emotions: "But what does this have to do with me and Huamanlou?"
Gong Jiu said coldly: "You are his friends."
Su Jie: "But we generally don't care which woman he sleeps with."
At this moment, Hua Manlou asked, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng now?"
"He escaped." Gong Jiu sneered, "But he can't escape from my grasp, he only has two choices."
Hua Manlou frowned: "Which two roads?"
"First, die. Second, be my invisible man."
Su Jie leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him leisurely: "So you want to catch me and Hua Manlou and threaten Lu Xiaofeng?"
Gong Jiu replied lightly: "I just want to invite the two of you to visit me for a while."
"So you think you can take me and Huamanlou away today?" Su Jie turned her head slightly, her gaze fell on him, as if trying to find out the source of his confidence.
"Hua Man Lou is not my opponent." Gong Jiu paused at this point, "And you are also seriously injured."
Su Jie was a little surprised: "Do you know about my injury?"
Gong Jiu suddenly smiled: "I know everything about you."
Su Jie was silent for a moment, then leaned against Hua Manlou, and said to Gong Jiu, "I'm sorry, it's impossible for us."
Gong Jiu: "..."
"I said last time, I will never let you go." Gong Jiu looked cold.
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Su Jie looked at him sharply, "I hope you haven't forgotten what I said."
This look made Gong Jiu think of what happened that day, and he felt trembling for a moment, and then he began to feel a little hot, with a trace of familiar excitement, and his Adam's apple slipped: "Where is the whip I gave you last time?"
Seeing this, Su Jie felt that this guy was not far from falling ill.
He himself didn't care, what if Hua Manlou was scared?
He turned his eyes away to avoid provoking/provoking the other party, and said in a cold tone, "There is no whip, so don't force me to throw you out."
No matter how perverted Gong Jiu's hobbies are, they are only indulged in private, only a few people are allowed to know that his identity and pride will never allow his ugliness and weaknesses to be exposed in front of everyone.
Gong Jiu's face became even paler, and the little desire that had just been born was instantly suppressed.As long as someone is not deliberately provoking/exciting, he would have a certain degree of self-control in this ridiculous hobby, after all, it is just a way for him to satisfy himself.
But Su Jie is an anomaly, which can easily make him lose control.
Because he is strong, beautiful, and there is pure evil and darkness that leads people to sink.He was convinced that if he could derive satisfaction from torturing himself, the other party could derive pleasure from torturing others.
Such a person is like a fish in water with him.
But he actually chose to be with someone like Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng, like a wolf put away its sharp claws and fangs and forcibly mixed into Bailu's team.
Hua Manlou asked calmly at this time: "What is an invisible person?"
Gong Jiu replied blankly: "If you are Huamanlou from Jiangnan Baihualou, and you are ordered by me to kill people for me, you are also an invisible person."
Hua Manlou understood that what the other party wanted was an innocent killer.
But whoever knows that there are many flowers in Jiangnan Baihualou, who will guard against him, and who will doubt him?
Hua Manlou's tone was also tinged with coldness: "Lu Xiaofeng will never agree, not even die."
Gong Jiu said slowly, "For a person like him, death is certainly not terrible, so I can only find other ways to make him compromise. I think his beloved woman and best friend should make him less stubborn."
Gong Jiu sighed: "If he is still stubborn like this, then I can only really kill him."
☆、Chapter 65
Although Lu Xiaofeng said every day that he didn't like trouble, if someday there was a big trouble in the world, even if no one came to him, he would come to him by himself and let him not mind his own business, which would be worse than killing him. Disaster.
As for people like Gong Jiu, if they don't do something, it's fine. If they do, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event.In other words, even if he is willing to let Lu Xiaofeng go, Lu Xiaofeng may not be willing to let him go.
It's no wonder that Gong Jiu tried to assimilate or eliminate such an unstable factor.
What's more, Lu Xiaofeng also planted grassland on his head.
Su Jie and Hua Manlou boarded the luxury carriage prepared by Gong Jiu to Chang'an.It's not that they really can't deal with Gong Jiu and the people he brought, but they know that even if they don't go, Lu Xiaofeng will fall into the trap, because Gong Jiu said that Lu Xiaofeng's beloved woman is in his hands.
Rather than staying in Baihualou and worrying about him, it is better to take a dip in the troubled waters. Although Su Jie knew that Lu Xiaofeng probably had the protagonist's halo protection, Huamanlou didn't know it. I'm afraid I won't be able to sit comfortably in Baihualou.
Gong Jiu is a very strange person, he is very good at enjoying, but he doesn't pay much attention to enjoying himself.As long as he wants, he can do anything for you, but he doesn't want anything.He has a lot of money. When he is happy, he spends money like water. When others ask him, he will give as much as he wants.
For example, now, Gong Jiu let them live in the best room in the best inn, but gave them steamed buns and pickles for dinner.
Su Jie grabbed a steamed bun and squeezed it. It was cold and hard, so she couldn't help laughing: "Yesterday was still hot anyway, so why don't you just send stones tomorrow?"
Hua Manlou sat at the table, and couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "Why didn't you go to see him that day?"
Su Jie put down the steamed buns, wrapped his arms around Hua Manlou's shoulders from behind, bent down and rested his chin on his shoulders, and smiled softly, "It's midnight, lonely and widowed, do you mind at all?"
Hua Manlou: "I can see that he has no other thoughts about you."
"Other thoughts, what thoughts?" Su Jie looked at him innocently, her slender eyelashes gliding across his jade-like side face, "Young man, teach me?"
Hua Manlou: "..."
Su Jie looked at a piece of thin red like haze that faded out of white jade, and was about to tease him with a low smile, when Hua Manlou grabbed his arm, Su Jie felt his eyes flicker, and the next moment, his whole body was pressed into Hua Manlou's arms inside.
Hua Manlou's voice was full of helplessness: "Stop making trouble."
Su Jie couldn't help laughing out loud. He half-lyed in Huamanlou's arms and reached out to wrap his hands around his hair hanging on his chest: "Huamanlou, you really don't understand style."
Hua Manlou smiled lightly and shook his head: "Just pretend that I don't understand style."
Su Jie supported the table and turned over, then picked up the steamed bun on the table again and walked outside.
Hua Manlou asked, "Where are you going?"
Su Jie threw down the steamed bun and caught it again: "I can't eat this stuff, so I decided to give it to Gong Jiu."
Huamanlou smiled when he heard the words: "I'll go with you."
Su Jie immediately waved her hand and refused firmly: "No!"
"Why?" Hua Manlou looked at him suspiciously.
Su Jie replied with a heavy tone: "He is sick."
Hua Manlou frowned slightly: "What disease?"
Su Jie nodded her chest: "Heart disease, empty and lonely."
Most of a person's sense of satisfaction and accomplishment comes from achieving various goals to reflect one's own value.But if a person is so good and strong that he can get everything at his fingertips and achieve any goal easily, what kind of stagnant water will he be?
Those who get it easily will not cherish it. If everything is too simple and smooth, you will lose your pursuit. If everything is satisfied, you will never be satisfied. He has no hope and no disappointment, because his life will not get better up.
It would be better if such a person is ruthless or detached, but unfortunately Gong Jiu is neither, otherwise he would not use self-torture to resolve this pain.
When Su Jie arrived, Gong Jiu was drinking. All kinds of exquisite dishes were set up on the table.
He poured it all by himself, with an indifferent expression, and he didn't even look at Su Jie.
Su Jie leaned against the door and said with a smile: "Ninth Young Master, I see that the food on your table is not moving. I think it is not to your liking. I happen to have a baby here, and I will give you an extra meal." After speaking, he weighed the steamed buns in his hand , and then threw it towards Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu raised his hand to catch it, and then actually tore it off and took a bite.
Seeing this, Su Jie smiled deeper: "How does it taste?"
Gong Jiu replied coldly: "Not bad."
Su Jie raised her eyebrows: "Since it's good, shouldn't you say thank you to me?"
Gong Jiu stopped and looked at him with unclear meaning: "You..."
"You don't need to thank you." Su Jie walked in and sat down opposite him, "Why don't you tell me what you want Lu Xiaofeng to do?"
Gong Jiu put down the buns, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said slowly, "Why should I tell you?"
"Because I'm really curious." Su Jie looked interested, "I'm curious about what you want to do."
Su Jie was telling the truth, which was one of the reasons why he was willing to follow Gong Jiu.
He thought, if he hadn't met Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, then besides not knowing how to torture himself, his mentality should be similar to Gong Jiu's at the moment, so he wanted to know what Gong Jiu was trying to do.
When people meet someone who is in the same situation as they have been in, they always want to see how the other person behaves and how they choose.
"There are only two kinds of people who can know this secret."
"Oh?"
"My own people and the dead."
Su Jie stared at Gong Jiu's expressionless face, and Gong Jiu also looked at him. After a while, Su Jie curled his lips together: "If you don't say it, Lu Xiaofeng will."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside. After walking a few steps, Gong Jiu's voice came from behind: "You are wrong, because even Lu Xiaofeng doesn't know."
After hearing this, Su Jie stopped and turned to look at him: "Then you still want his life?"
Gong Jiu sighed slightly: "He is a nosy person."
Nosy people are often easy to get in the way, especially for people like Gong Jiu.What's more, since he wants Lu Xiaofeng to kill for him as an invisible person, then the person he wants to kill must be someone who knows and trusts Lu Xiaofeng.In this way, once Lu Xiaofeng meddles in his own business, it may deal a fatal blow to his plan.
After thinking about this, Su Jie said, "Then, if I join you, what can I get after it's done?"
Gong Jiu's eyes became brighter, and he replied softly: "Glory and wealth, power and wealth, everything in the world can be obtained as long as you want it."
"Prosperity and wealth, power and wealth?" Su Jie repeated, and then looked at Gong Jiu with a half-smile, "Is this enough to satisfy you?"
"You really...disappointed me so much."
Gong Jiu's expression darkened immediately: "Disappointed?"
"If a person's expectations are not fulfilled, wouldn't he be disappointed?" Su Jie said lightly.
Gong Jiu smiled coldly: "Then what do you want?"
"You really don't understand?" Su Jie asked back, and then his voice suddenly became softer, "Besides, I already got a better one."
Gong Jiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You remind me of someone."
"Who?"
Gong Jiu showed a slightly sarcastic smile: "Little old man."
Su Jie was silent, then looked at Gong Jiu with a sneer: "You say it again to my face?"
Gong Jiu: "...I'm not saying you're old."
Only then did Su Jie take back her murderous aura.
Gong Jiu continued: "It doesn't matter if there is Lu Xiaofeng or not, but the little old man saw Lu Xiaofeng, so he decided to let Lu Xiaofeng join us."
Su Jie couldn't help repeating: "You?"
This is a very delicate word, it represents a plurality, and the individuals that exist in this number often need to be evenly matched to be eligible to be compared.
This is still the case for people like Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu nodded: "I, the little old man, and our invisible man."
Only then did Su Jie become a little interested in the little old man: "I seem to have never heard of this person's name in Jianghu."
"Of course you don't." Gong Jiu said slowly, "His name is Wu Ming, and his person is also unknown, just like his name. But if you think that his ability is also the same as his name, it is a big mistake It's so wrong, those famous masters in Jianghu, those rankings on the weapon spectrum, are nothing in front of him."
Su Jie suddenly thought of something: "Are you also an invisible person?"
Gong Jiu: "Not bad."
Su Jie pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and smiled, "I see."
Everything he wanted to know had been answered.
So he didn't intend to stay any longer.
Gong Jiu was a little surprised by this, he never believed that Su Jie had learned about their plan, so he asked with a sullen face, "Why?"
What answered him was Su Jie's leaving back and a faint chuckle.
Su Jie returned to the room, but did not enter the door, but stood at the door and said to Huamanlou: "Since such a big inn only has steamed buns and pickles, Huamanlou, I think we should go out to eat today."
"You seem to be in a good mood." Hua Manlou walked out of the inn with him.
Su Jie had a slight smile on his face: "Because I found something very interesting."
Hua Manlou: "Did Gong Jiu tell you?"
"He just told me about someone."
"who?"
"The person who plays chess."
Hua Manlou stopped in his tracks: "Isn't Gong Jiu the person behind the scenes?"
Su Jie looked at a tavern next to them and thought it was pretty good, so she dragged Hua Manlou in and said, "I thought he was, maybe he himself thought he was one of them, but just now I found out that he is not one of them." .”
Hua Manlou was thoughtful: "He is in the middle of the game, but he is not the one playing chess. You mean he is just a chess piece."
"That's right." Su Jie told Hua Manlou the information he had revealed in the previous conversation with Gong Jiu, especially the little old man named Wu Ming.
Hua Manlou's expression was dignified. Although he only had a few words, he could guess how terrible this person was. He couldn't help but worry even more about Lu Xiaofeng's situation. This might be the most difficult trouble and the most terrifying opponent that his friend has ever encountered. .
Su Jie seemed to understand his worry, and smiled faintly: "If you are worried about Lu Xiaofeng, I don't think there is any need for it."
Hua Manlou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then unconsciously relaxed a little: "Why?"
Su Jie picked up his cup and took a sip of water, then said slowly: "It's not that I underestimate him, it's just that he is really not worth letting that little old man deal with it himself. Since he is a chess player, naturally he only needs to make arrangements. end,
He coughed and said with difficulty: "Huamanlou...if I drink again...ahem...I will..."
Hua Manlou patted him on the back softly, with a smile on his face: "You should think it over first."
Su Jie: "..."
Su Jie:? ? ?
Is this the Huamanlou I know?
Lu Xiaofeng watched it very interestingly. He thought he was good at exasperating people, but after all these years of acquaintance with Huamanlou, he rarely got the upper hand. Sometimes it can make him speechless.
Hua Manlou is really a gentleman, but sometimes he is not a real gentleman.
He coughed lightly, then leaned against the door with a playful look on his face: "I didn't bother you two, did I?"
Hua Manlou nodded, "You're back."
Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands: "Thanks to my coming back at the right time, I was able to see such a good show."
Hua Manlou said: "You can always catch up with good shows, just like you can always get into trouble."
"Trouble? What trouble did I get into again?" Lu Xiaofeng looked innocent.
Su Jie sneered: "Of course it's not troublesome now, because I still can't lift a knife."
Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard: "Looks like I have to watch a few more good shows now, and I won't cause this trouble in vain."
Su Jie realized that Lu Xiaofeng had really drifted away.
If I can't lift a knife now, can I still be able to lift a knife for the rest of my life?
He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng with the words "remembering grudges" written brightly, and Lu Xiaofeng became agitated immediately, and changed the subject calmly: "Huamanlou, the Menghe Lantern Festival will be in half a month, and I'm going to wait after the Menghe Lantern Festival." leave."
Hua Manlou smiled and nodded: "That's fine, you haven't participated in the Menghe Lantern Festival for many years."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled happily: "Brother Hua, now you can finally see the river lanterns that are full of ponds with your own eyes, why don't you count how many lanterns there are this year?"
Hua Manlou also smiled and said, "It's not [-] lamps anyway."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Do you still remember?"
Hua Manlou: "After all, Brother Lu is the only one who counts river lights for the blind."
Seeing the two people looking at each other and smiling, Su Jie was expressionless and lost in thought...
Am I supposed to be under the car now?
Half a month later, Su Jie was almost able to get out of bed and walk around, but her body was still a little weak, but it was much better than lying on the bed and getting moldy.
On the day of the Menghe Lantern Festival, as night fell, not only did the city not gradually become silent as usual, but it became more and more lively with the lights lit up one after another. Even through the courtyard wall, you could hear laughter and children running outside. The sound of frolicking across the long street.
The lamps on the street, the lamps in the river, and the lamps in the hands of passers-by gather together to form a sea of stars in the world, which is brilliant and gorgeous.
In the peaceful and prosperous age, the world of fireworks is nothing more than this.
"Jiangnan is really a good place." Su Jie couldn't help sighing.
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "When you are in better health, we can also go on a trip together. The scenery in Suzhou and Hangzhou is very good."
"Above heaven, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou." Lu Xiaofeng quickly grabbed a sachet that was flying towards them: "There are many beautiful scenery, and there are even more beauties. But the building is full of flowers, and you haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how do you know the scenery is good?" ?”
Hua Manlou shook his folding fan: "Although I haven't seen it, I've heard of it. What's more, a place where a prodigal like Lu Xiaofeng can linger and forget to return will naturally not be a place for nothing."
Lu Xiaofeng laughed suddenly: "That's right."
At this moment, Su Jie glanced at the place where the sachet flew over just now, a young girl stomped her feet in frustration, then rolled up her champagne and threw it towards this side, Lu Xiaofeng pinched the veil precisely with two fingers .
Girl: "..."
Su Jie raised her eyebrows: "They don't seem to want to give it to you."
"Of course I know." Lu Xiaofeng looked up and down the sachet and handkerchief with a smile, and then put his hands in front of Huamanlou, "Maybe they want to give it to Playboy, I don't feel so hurt every time I walk next to him." The woman welcomes you. Here, Huamanlou is here for you."
Hua Manlou didn't pick it up, but shook his head: "Brother Lu, don't be joking."
After finishing speaking, he suddenly moved the fan in his hand towards Su Jie, and a pink silk flower was falling on the white fan, and a sweet fragrance could be smelled by the evening wind.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng smirked and said, "Hua Man Lou, it doesn't seem like this is for you?"
Su Jie raised the corners of her lips: "Who knows, anyway, we don't need this kind of beauty."
Lu Xiaofeng reached out and took the silk flower: "You don't want to give it to me. Originally, a flower full of buildings is enough to steal my limelight, but now I have one more you. Even if I grow four more eyebrows, I'm afraid no girl will look at me. gone."
Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Then you will become Lu Xiaofeng with eight eyebrows."
Su Jie: "It could also be Lu Xiaofeng with full eyebrows."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was being targeted.
At this time they happened to walk on a bridge, looking at the dotted river lanterns in the lake, Lu Xiaofeng's heart suddenly moved, and he said excitedly: "It's such a beautiful day, why don't we make a bet?"
Hua Manlou closed the fan: "What are you betting on?"
"Count the river lanterns." Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the river lanterns in the pond, "Let's each say a number first, and then start counting. Whoever has the closest number at the end wins."
He rubbed his chin: "For the lottery... whoever wins, the other two will each agree to one thing, how about it?"
Before Hua Manlou could speak, Su Jie pointed to the endless stream of people setting off lanterns by the river bank: "Even if I count them until dawn, I can't finish counting."
After taking a look, Lu Xiaofeng had to admit that what Su Jie said made sense.
"Forget it then. I don't mind counting the lanterns all night, but it's not easy to spend all the good time counting the lanterns on the river. Then I'm too confused." Lu Xiaofeng sighed regretfully.
Su Jie looked at the river lanterns all over the lake, and smiled after a while: "We can do something else."
Lu Xiaofeng heard the words and looked over: "What are you doing?"
Su Jie touched a small stone lion on the bridge, and the candlelight flowing with the water reflected in his eyes: "It's such a beautiful day, so naturally we should do something good."
"What good thing?" Hua Manlou asked softly.
"Look at these lanterns." Su Jie raised his chin to signal, "Each one has a sincere wish, why don't we choose one at random and make it come true."
In short, smoke a koi.
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help clapping his hands and said with a smile: "This is interesting, but if someone wants gold and silver, I don't have such great skills."
Su Jie's expression was indifferent: "The power is inexhaustible, and the blessings are inexhaustible. Since we are doing good deeds, we should stop as soon as possible."
At this time, a young couple who had just finished setting off the river lanterns walked past them.
Woman: "I hope God can bless me to conceive my husband's child as soon as possible."
Man: "Don't worry, lady, there will definitely be some, and the river lanterns at the Lantern Festival every year are very effective."
Immediately, the expressions of the three people at the bridgehead became different.
Lu Xiaofeng desperately suppressed a smile: "Brother Su, if you get such a lamp, what are you going to do?"
Su Jie gouged him out with her eyes: "Am I God? Let God do what only God can do."
Lu Xiaofeng supported the stone railing on the bridge and laughed for a while, Su Jie slapped him on the shoulder: "Enough, if you continue like this, others will think you are sick."
People passing by can't help but take a look.
Lu Xiaofeng stopped laughing, then jumped off the bridge, like a flying bird flying over the water, with both feet on the lake, he quickly picked up a river lantern and returned to the bridge in an instant.
Lu Xiaofeng's lightness kung fu is already unsurpassed in the world.
He turned the lantern around in his hand, and couldn't help laughing after seeing the small characters on it: "This is actually a sentimental lantern."
Su Jie took it, only to see two lines of poems written on it.
The first line: May I be like a star king like a moon, Zhou Lang.The handwriting is graceful and elegant, obviously it is from a woman.
The second line: Every night streams bright and clean, Yun Niang.The handwriting is thin and strong, and it should be a man.
No wonder Lu Xiaofeng said it was a sentimental lamp.
Su Jie felt it carefully, but shook her head: "This won't work."
Lu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously: "What do you mean no?"
Su Jie handed the river lantern to Hua Manlou, and after a while, Hua Manlou sighed, "It's really not possible."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the two of them, once again feeling isolated: "What are you two doing?"
Su Jie handed the lamp back to Lu Xiaofeng: "The moon is an ever-changing thing. It is cloudy, sunny, waxing and waning. What you see is different every day, but the stars may still look the same as you see for a hundred years or a thousand years."
Lu Xiaofeng understood, but looked at the two of them suspiciously: "How do you know?"
Su Jie and Hua Manlou looked at each other and smiled: "This is a secret."
Lu Xiaofeng was sure that he was indeed isolated, this time he had proof.
He raised the river lantern: "Then what about this?"
"Naturally put it back where it came from, and then bring a new one."
Lu Xiaofeng looked at the lamp: "Really just leave it like this?"
Su Jie pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile: "There is no way, do you know the Persian insanity technique? I will also do a little of this kind of thing. I guarantee that the moon will be devoted to the stars for a lifetime, but such "sincerity" is meaningful." Is it?"
"We think it's meaningless, but others may not."
Even so, Lu Xiaofeng still put the lamp back, and then chose a new one, this time the wish was simpler, begging for his mother to recover from her illness sooner.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "It depends on Huamanlou, I don't know how to treat diseases."
Su Jie held the lamp and led them to find the owner of the lamp. In a very remote and dilapidated house, only a young boy and his old mother lived here.After hearing about their intentions, the young man was so moved that he wept, and quickly invited them into the house.
"Lu Xiaofeng, do you think that inn is a bit strange?" Hua Manlou was seeing a doctor at the side, while two other people who didn't know medical skills stood by the window and waited. Su Jie suddenly pointed to a place called "Yuelai Inn" not far away. Fang Fang casually said to Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng looked in the direction he pointed, and he saw a big inn. He stroked his beard and nodded: "It's really strange that such a big inn has at least thirty or forty rooms, but it's in such a remote place. Ordinary people probably won’t be able to find it.”
At this time, more than a dozen people pulled several carts of wood and stopped at the entrance of the inn, and then two people came out of the inn. Su Jie couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the leader.
It turned out to be an acquaintance.
☆、Chapter 64
Su Jie really didn't expect to see Gong Jiu again here.
But I don't think it's strange to think that every time I meet this person, it's under unexpected circumstances.
It is quite normal for a person who behaves strangely if his whereabouts are surreptitious.
It's just that this time he was not followed by a beautiful girl, but a man with a ferocious face and only one arm and one leg. For people in the Jianghu, such an existence is either a useless person or a super expert, and Gong Jiu's side is definitely not good. There will be cripples left.
Su Jie felt that Gong Jiu must be messing around, and he didn't need any evidence, that's what his intuition told him.
But he's not Lu Xiaofeng, he won't be troubled to come to his door, and he doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, no matter what conspiracy Gong Jiu is planning, he and Huamanlou will not be involved.
But not long after, he realized that being a person really shouldn't be too rigid, because he forgot that although he is not Lu Xiaofeng, he is Lu Xiaofeng's friend, especially Huamanlou.
After seeing the illness, they left here, but Su Jie and Hua Manlou went back after visiting for a long time, because Hua Manlou calculated the time and thought that Su Jie should go back to take medicine.
Su Jie: "..."
Hua Manlou tenderly said to Su Jie, who was full of rejection, "You can't stop the medicine now, and the Menghe Lantern Festival will not be too late next year."
Su Jie: ... All right, I'm used to you.
Su Jie bought a lantern from a stall on the side of the road, Hua Manlou smiled and said, "You want to put a lantern too?"
"I don't want to." Su Jie took the pen from the stall owner and told him to write his wish, and while drawing on the lantern, he replied: "It's better to ask God than to ask for others, and it's better to ask for others than to ask oneself. My wish will come true by myself."
After finishing speaking, he stopped writing and handed the lantern to Hua Manlou: "It's a beautiful day, you can't leave empty-handed."
Hua Manlou took it, and saw a blooming flower painted on the lantern. He was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile softly. This smile fell into Su Jie's eyes, and he felt that the lights of the whole long street were dimmed. Pale.
Immediately Hua Manlou said softly: "Since this is the case, I should naturally reciprocate."
After speaking, he also took off a lamp and handed it to Su Jie. On the lamp were two beautiful birds flying in front of each other.This pattern is quite new. I have never seen it before passing by so many stalls. Su Jie took a look: "What kind of bird is this?"
Hua Manlou smiled helplessly: "This is a wild goose."
Su Jie raised her head and looked at him immediately upon hearing this.
Hua Manlou asked, "Have you ever read "Yanqiu Ci"?"
"No." Su Jie looked a little dazed.Although he hasn't read any Yanqiu Ci and doesn't know wild geese, he still knows the symbolic meaning in the folk!
Hua Manlou nodded, then took the pen on the stall and wrote a poem, and handed it to Su Jie again after finishing writing.
Su Jie took a look and was stunned.
Although he was the one who made the move first, Hua Manlou seemed to be too foul.
It's scary to be a cultural person.
He couldn't help laughing: "Hua Man Lou, if you are a vagabond like Lu Xiaofeng, I'm afraid no one in the world can resist you."
Hua Manlou smiled: "Luckily I am not."
Su Jie: "Yes, fortunately you are not, otherwise my rivals in love will spread all over the world..."
The two talked and laughed while walking slowly towards Baihualou hand in hand.
After returning to Baihualou and drinking the medicine, Su Jie drank a few sips of fragrant tea with a teacup to suppress the bitter taste, and suddenly felt a familiar colic in his heart.
He frowned calmly, and was about to endure the comeback curse silently, but suddenly his heart moved when he saw the two lamps on the table.
He smiled and looked up at Huamanlou: "Huamanlou, before the good night tonight, would you like to do another good deed?"
Hua Manlou turned his head sideways: "What good thing?"
Su Jie: "Save people."
Hua Manlou nodded: "Of course, who do you want to save?"
Su Jie got up and walked in front of Huamanlou: "The owner of Baihualou will help all those who need help who enter the small building."
He put one hand on the table, leaned slightly and approached Hua ManLou: "Would that playboy help me?"
Hua Manlou: "..."
Even if he was an idiot, he wouldn't think that Su Jie's so-called "save" was the same concept as the ordinary meaning of "save".
Besides, Hua Manlou is not an idiot at all.
At this time, Su Jie picked up the teacup full of flowers with the other hand, and poured the remaining half cup of tea on the candle. The candle was extinguished instantly, and the room was plunged into darkness.
But it seems that another pot of hot oil has been poured into the increasingly ambiguous atmosphere.
Su Jie lowered his head slowly in the dark, with a bewitching smile in his tone: "If you don't talk, Mr. Su, I will take it as your consent."
"Of course, I have to ask Playboy to teach me..."
The soft whispers became lower and lower, and finally disappeared between the lips and teeth of the two.
Lu Xiaofeng came back only the next morning. When he was alone, he always liked to find wine and beauties to accompany him, and beauties also liked a generous and funny man like him, so he was always the most popular in brothels. The kind of guests that are welcome.
When he came back, Su Jie was sitting lazily watching Huamanlou watering the flowers, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at him and said casually: "Your complexion seems to be much better than yesterday."
"Really?" Su Jie raised the corner of her mouth when she heard the words, looked at Huamanlou and said, "Maybe it's all due to Huamanlou's meticulous care last night."
Lu Xiaofeng felt that his tone seemed a little weird, but he nodded in agreement: "Yes, with him taking care of you like this every day, your body must recover soon."
Huamanlou stopped watering: "..."
Two days after the Menghe Lantern Festival, Lu Xiaofeng left. He was full of energy when he left. He is a wonderful person who likes adventure, good wine, beauties, and friends. It is difficult for such a person to leave the rivers and lakes. , because once he leaves, his life will lose a lot of fun.
Su Jie originally thought that after Lu Xiaofeng left, he would not see him again for at least a few months, but he ignored Lu Xiaofeng's ability to make trouble, and he didn't come back within a month, but he personally found out the trouble he caused Come to the door.
"Are you safe?" Gong Jiu appeared in Baihualou wearing a moon-white brocade robe, with a cold and dignified expression.
Although he came up alone, there are quite a few people waiting downstairs to listen to him at any time. This posture is really not good for the visitor.
Su Jie had no intention of making false greetings with him, and asked lightly, "What are you doing here?"
Gong Jiu looked at him and replied: "Come to arrest you and Hua Man Lou."
"reason?"
"Lu Xiaofeng slept with my woman."
Su Jie: "..."
Hua Manlou: "..."
The small building suddenly fell into dead silence, and the scene was once very embarrassing.
After a while, Su Jie clenched his fist and put it on his lips and coughed: "That... I am very sorry for what happened to you."
However, the upturned corner of his mouth still betrayed his true emotions: "But what does this have to do with me and Huamanlou?"
Gong Jiu said coldly: "You are his friends."
Su Jie: "But we generally don't care which woman he sleeps with."
At this moment, Hua Manlou asked, "Where is Lu Xiaofeng now?"
"He escaped." Gong Jiu sneered, "But he can't escape from my grasp, he only has two choices."
Hua Manlou frowned: "Which two roads?"
"First, die. Second, be my invisible man."
Su Jie leaned on the back of the chair and looked at him leisurely: "So you want to catch me and Hua Manlou and threaten Lu Xiaofeng?"
Gong Jiu replied lightly: "I just want to invite the two of you to visit me for a while."
"So you think you can take me and Huamanlou away today?" Su Jie turned her head slightly, her gaze fell on him, as if trying to find out the source of his confidence.
"Hua Man Lou is not my opponent." Gong Jiu paused at this point, "And you are also seriously injured."
Su Jie was a little surprised: "Do you know about my injury?"
Gong Jiu suddenly smiled: "I know everything about you."
Su Jie was silent for a moment, then leaned against Hua Manlou, and said to Gong Jiu, "I'm sorry, it's impossible for us."
Gong Jiu: "..."
"I said last time, I will never let you go." Gong Jiu looked cold.
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Su Jie looked at him sharply, "I hope you haven't forgotten what I said."
This look made Gong Jiu think of what happened that day, and he felt trembling for a moment, and then he began to feel a little hot, with a trace of familiar excitement, and his Adam's apple slipped: "Where is the whip I gave you last time?"
Seeing this, Su Jie felt that this guy was not far from falling ill.
He himself didn't care, what if Hua Manlou was scared?
He turned his eyes away to avoid provoking/provoking the other party, and said in a cold tone, "There is no whip, so don't force me to throw you out."
No matter how perverted Gong Jiu's hobbies are, they are only indulged in private, only a few people are allowed to know that his identity and pride will never allow his ugliness and weaknesses to be exposed in front of everyone.
Gong Jiu's face became even paler, and the little desire that had just been born was instantly suppressed.As long as someone is not deliberately provoking/exciting, he would have a certain degree of self-control in this ridiculous hobby, after all, it is just a way for him to satisfy himself.
But Su Jie is an anomaly, which can easily make him lose control.
Because he is strong, beautiful, and there is pure evil and darkness that leads people to sink.He was convinced that if he could derive satisfaction from torturing himself, the other party could derive pleasure from torturing others.
Such a person is like a fish in water with him.
But he actually chose to be with someone like Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng, like a wolf put away its sharp claws and fangs and forcibly mixed into Bailu's team.
Hua Manlou asked calmly at this time: "What is an invisible person?"
Gong Jiu replied blankly: "If you are Huamanlou from Jiangnan Baihualou, and you are ordered by me to kill people for me, you are also an invisible person."
Hua Manlou understood that what the other party wanted was an innocent killer.
But whoever knows that there are many flowers in Jiangnan Baihualou, who will guard against him, and who will doubt him?
Hua Manlou's tone was also tinged with coldness: "Lu Xiaofeng will never agree, not even die."
Gong Jiu said slowly, "For a person like him, death is certainly not terrible, so I can only find other ways to make him compromise. I think his beloved woman and best friend should make him less stubborn."
Gong Jiu sighed: "If he is still stubborn like this, then I can only really kill him."
☆、Chapter 65
Although Lu Xiaofeng said every day that he didn't like trouble, if someday there was a big trouble in the world, even if no one came to him, he would come to him by himself and let him not mind his own business, which would be worse than killing him. Disaster.
As for people like Gong Jiu, if they don't do something, it's fine. If they do, it will definitely be an earth-shattering event.In other words, even if he is willing to let Lu Xiaofeng go, Lu Xiaofeng may not be willing to let him go.
It's no wonder that Gong Jiu tried to assimilate or eliminate such an unstable factor.
What's more, Lu Xiaofeng also planted grassland on his head.
Su Jie and Hua Manlou boarded the luxury carriage prepared by Gong Jiu to Chang'an.It's not that they really can't deal with Gong Jiu and the people he brought, but they know that even if they don't go, Lu Xiaofeng will fall into the trap, because Gong Jiu said that Lu Xiaofeng's beloved woman is in his hands.
Rather than staying in Baihualou and worrying about him, it is better to take a dip in the troubled waters. Although Su Jie knew that Lu Xiaofeng probably had the protagonist's halo protection, Huamanlou didn't know it. I'm afraid I won't be able to sit comfortably in Baihualou.
Gong Jiu is a very strange person, he is very good at enjoying, but he doesn't pay much attention to enjoying himself.As long as he wants, he can do anything for you, but he doesn't want anything.He has a lot of money. When he is happy, he spends money like water. When others ask him, he will give as much as he wants.
For example, now, Gong Jiu let them live in the best room in the best inn, but gave them steamed buns and pickles for dinner.
Su Jie grabbed a steamed bun and squeezed it. It was cold and hard, so she couldn't help laughing: "Yesterday was still hot anyway, so why don't you just send stones tomorrow?"
Hua Manlou sat at the table, and couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "Why didn't you go to see him that day?"
Su Jie put down the steamed buns, wrapped his arms around Hua Manlou's shoulders from behind, bent down and rested his chin on his shoulders, and smiled softly, "It's midnight, lonely and widowed, do you mind at all?"
Hua Manlou: "I can see that he has no other thoughts about you."
"Other thoughts, what thoughts?" Su Jie looked at him innocently, her slender eyelashes gliding across his jade-like side face, "Young man, teach me?"
Hua Manlou: "..."
Su Jie looked at a piece of thin red like haze that faded out of white jade, and was about to tease him with a low smile, when Hua Manlou grabbed his arm, Su Jie felt his eyes flicker, and the next moment, his whole body was pressed into Hua Manlou's arms inside.
Hua Manlou's voice was full of helplessness: "Stop making trouble."
Su Jie couldn't help laughing out loud. He half-lyed in Huamanlou's arms and reached out to wrap his hands around his hair hanging on his chest: "Huamanlou, you really don't understand style."
Hua Manlou smiled lightly and shook his head: "Just pretend that I don't understand style."
Su Jie supported the table and turned over, then picked up the steamed bun on the table again and walked outside.
Hua Manlou asked, "Where are you going?"
Su Jie threw down the steamed bun and caught it again: "I can't eat this stuff, so I decided to give it to Gong Jiu."
Huamanlou smiled when he heard the words: "I'll go with you."
Su Jie immediately waved her hand and refused firmly: "No!"
"Why?" Hua Manlou looked at him suspiciously.
Su Jie replied with a heavy tone: "He is sick."
Hua Manlou frowned slightly: "What disease?"
Su Jie nodded her chest: "Heart disease, empty and lonely."
Most of a person's sense of satisfaction and accomplishment comes from achieving various goals to reflect one's own value.But if a person is so good and strong that he can get everything at his fingertips and achieve any goal easily, what kind of stagnant water will he be?
Those who get it easily will not cherish it. If everything is too simple and smooth, you will lose your pursuit. If everything is satisfied, you will never be satisfied. He has no hope and no disappointment, because his life will not get better up.
It would be better if such a person is ruthless or detached, but unfortunately Gong Jiu is neither, otherwise he would not use self-torture to resolve this pain.
When Su Jie arrived, Gong Jiu was drinking. All kinds of exquisite dishes were set up on the table.
He poured it all by himself, with an indifferent expression, and he didn't even look at Su Jie.
Su Jie leaned against the door and said with a smile: "Ninth Young Master, I see that the food on your table is not moving. I think it is not to your liking. I happen to have a baby here, and I will give you an extra meal." After speaking, he weighed the steamed buns in his hand , and then threw it towards Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu raised his hand to catch it, and then actually tore it off and took a bite.
Seeing this, Su Jie smiled deeper: "How does it taste?"
Gong Jiu replied coldly: "Not bad."
Su Jie raised her eyebrows: "Since it's good, shouldn't you say thank you to me?"
Gong Jiu stopped and looked at him with unclear meaning: "You..."
"You don't need to thank you." Su Jie walked in and sat down opposite him, "Why don't you tell me what you want Lu Xiaofeng to do?"
Gong Jiu put down the buns, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said slowly, "Why should I tell you?"
"Because I'm really curious." Su Jie looked interested, "I'm curious about what you want to do."
Su Jie was telling the truth, which was one of the reasons why he was willing to follow Gong Jiu.
He thought, if he hadn't met Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, then besides not knowing how to torture himself, his mentality should be similar to Gong Jiu's at the moment, so he wanted to know what Gong Jiu was trying to do.
When people meet someone who is in the same situation as they have been in, they always want to see how the other person behaves and how they choose.
"There are only two kinds of people who can know this secret."
"Oh?"
"My own people and the dead."
Su Jie stared at Gong Jiu's expressionless face, and Gong Jiu also looked at him. After a while, Su Jie curled his lips together: "If you don't say it, Lu Xiaofeng will."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside. After walking a few steps, Gong Jiu's voice came from behind: "You are wrong, because even Lu Xiaofeng doesn't know."
After hearing this, Su Jie stopped and turned to look at him: "Then you still want his life?"
Gong Jiu sighed slightly: "He is a nosy person."
Nosy people are often easy to get in the way, especially for people like Gong Jiu.What's more, since he wants Lu Xiaofeng to kill for him as an invisible person, then the person he wants to kill must be someone who knows and trusts Lu Xiaofeng.In this way, once Lu Xiaofeng meddles in his own business, it may deal a fatal blow to his plan.
After thinking about this, Su Jie said, "Then, if I join you, what can I get after it's done?"
Gong Jiu's eyes became brighter, and he replied softly: "Glory and wealth, power and wealth, everything in the world can be obtained as long as you want it."
"Prosperity and wealth, power and wealth?" Su Jie repeated, and then looked at Gong Jiu with a half-smile, "Is this enough to satisfy you?"
"You really...disappointed me so much."
Gong Jiu's expression darkened immediately: "Disappointed?"
"If a person's expectations are not fulfilled, wouldn't he be disappointed?" Su Jie said lightly.
Gong Jiu smiled coldly: "Then what do you want?"
"You really don't understand?" Su Jie asked back, and then his voice suddenly became softer, "Besides, I already got a better one."
Gong Jiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You remind me of someone."
"Who?"
Gong Jiu showed a slightly sarcastic smile: "Little old man."
Su Jie was silent, then looked at Gong Jiu with a sneer: "You say it again to my face?"
Gong Jiu: "...I'm not saying you're old."
Only then did Su Jie take back her murderous aura.
Gong Jiu continued: "It doesn't matter if there is Lu Xiaofeng or not, but the little old man saw Lu Xiaofeng, so he decided to let Lu Xiaofeng join us."
Su Jie couldn't help repeating: "You?"
This is a very delicate word, it represents a plurality, and the individuals that exist in this number often need to be evenly matched to be eligible to be compared.
This is still the case for people like Gong Jiu.
Gong Jiu nodded: "I, the little old man, and our invisible man."
Only then did Su Jie become a little interested in the little old man: "I seem to have never heard of this person's name in Jianghu."
"Of course you don't." Gong Jiu said slowly, "His name is Wu Ming, and his person is also unknown, just like his name. But if you think that his ability is also the same as his name, it is a big mistake It's so wrong, those famous masters in Jianghu, those rankings on the weapon spectrum, are nothing in front of him."
Su Jie suddenly thought of something: "Are you also an invisible person?"
Gong Jiu: "Not bad."
Su Jie pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands and smiled, "I see."
Everything he wanted to know had been answered.
So he didn't intend to stay any longer.
Gong Jiu was a little surprised by this, he never believed that Su Jie had learned about their plan, so he asked with a sullen face, "Why?"
What answered him was Su Jie's leaving back and a faint chuckle.
Su Jie returned to the room, but did not enter the door, but stood at the door and said to Huamanlou: "Since such a big inn only has steamed buns and pickles, Huamanlou, I think we should go out to eat today."
"You seem to be in a good mood." Hua Manlou walked out of the inn with him.
Su Jie had a slight smile on his face: "Because I found something very interesting."
Hua Manlou: "Did Gong Jiu tell you?"
"He just told me about someone."
"who?"
"The person who plays chess."
Hua Manlou stopped in his tracks: "Isn't Gong Jiu the person behind the scenes?"
Su Jie looked at a tavern next to them and thought it was pretty good, so she dragged Hua Manlou in and said, "I thought he was, maybe he himself thought he was one of them, but just now I found out that he is not one of them." .”
Hua Manlou was thoughtful: "He is in the middle of the game, but he is not the one playing chess. You mean he is just a chess piece."
"That's right." Su Jie told Hua Manlou the information he had revealed in the previous conversation with Gong Jiu, especially the little old man named Wu Ming.
Hua Manlou's expression was dignified. Although he only had a few words, he could guess how terrible this person was. He couldn't help but worry even more about Lu Xiaofeng's situation. This might be the most difficult trouble and the most terrifying opponent that his friend has ever encountered. .
Su Jie seemed to understand his worry, and smiled faintly: "If you are worried about Lu Xiaofeng, I don't think there is any need for it."
Hua Manlou was taken aback when he heard the words, and then unconsciously relaxed a little: "Why?"
Su Jie picked up his cup and took a sip of water, then said slowly: "It's not that I underestimate him, it's just that he is really not worth letting that little old man deal with it himself. Since he is a chess player, naturally he only needs to make arrangements. end,
