Magic Stick Survival Rules[Comprehensive]
Chapter 63
Hearing Ximen Chuixue's voice, Ling Qi's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked inexplicably.
He hurriedly put on his shirt, put on his boots, and rubbed his face vigorously so that his expression would not be too stiff. After doing this, he walked over and opened the door.
"Why... did I disturb you just now?" Thinking of the noise he made just now because he couldn't sleep, Ling Qi lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.
Ximen Chuuxue didn't speak, just stepped into the room, and then closed the door with a bang, and when Ling Qi wanted to ask him what he was doing, he had already stretched out his arms and hugged Ling Qi up.
Reflexively embracing the man's broad shoulders, Ling Qi felt his eyes flicker before being pressed down on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, dense kisses fell on his face, the corners of the eyes, the brows, the tip of the nose, the lips, and the slightly cool palms penetrated into the unfastened clothes, and through the thin obscene clothes, they pressed eagerly on his waist. Kneading and stroking.
"Xi, Ximen." Pushing out his tongue, Ling Qi called out in a trembling voice.
"Hmm." Ximen Chuuxue kept moving his hands, while biting Ling Qi's neck with red scars, while responding muffledly.
"Aren't you planning to...?" Finally noticing that the man still had damp hair, Ling Qi blinked, and suddenly realized that he was not the only one who couldn't sleep just now.
Raising his head, Ximen Chuuxue said to Ling Qi in a hoarse voice: "If you don't want to, I will stop."
After hesitating for less than two seconds, Ling Qi stretched out his arms and hugged Ximen Chuuxue's waist. After Ximen Chuuxue buried his head and continued to suck kisses on his neck, Ling Qi couldn't help asking in a low voice: "But didn't you say before Are you not ready?"
"Be careful, you should be fine."
Holding Ling Qi's Adam's apple in his mouth, Ximen Chuuxue answered vaguely.
This answer is really... Ling Qi is a bit dumbfounded, he doesn't know much about the details of the relationship between men, but he can vaguely guess some key points from Ximen's previous explanation, that preparation is obviously necessary, especially for They have no previous experience.
But at this juncture, he would naturally not refuse his lover's courtship just because of the possibility of injury.
Relaxing his body, Ling Qi moved his palm while enduring Ximen Chuuxue's movement, trying to give him some joy, but soon, Ling Qi lost his strength.
The tingling sensation rose from the tailbone and spread to the limbs. His fingers hung feebly on Ximen Chuuxue's half-torn clothes. Ling Qi panted, shook his waist impatiently, and muttered in a low voice: Click... don't bite..."
Obediently letting go of the somewhat swollen bright-colored fruit that had already been gnawed, Ximen Chuuxue lightly hooked his fingers, pulled off the loose obscene pants around Ling Qi's waist, and covered them with his palms.
"Um……"
There was already a mist in his eyes, Ling Qi raised his jaw, his trimmed smooth fingertips clasped Ximen Chuuxue's back tightly, and several broken moans escaped from his throat.
The feeling of being comforted by others is actually more comfortable than the feeling of doing it yourself... Ling Qi thought in a daze.
The pleasure quickly climbed to the top, the sound of breathing became more and more rapid, the back arched, and suddenly, a short low moan sounded from the tent that was put down at no time——
Standing up, Ximen Chuixue looked at Ling Qi's dazed eyes with deep eyes, took off the clothes on his body, then stretched out his hands along Ling Qi's legs bent around his waist, slid to his delicate ankles, lifted them up, and put them up crooked arm.
The other hand, stained with whiteness, slowly but firmly probed towards the private place behind Ling Qi.
Before his fingertips touched that spot, Ximen Chuuxue stopped, his face turned cold, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the door through the bed curtain.
Outside the door, the half-squatting man in black took out a bamboo tube from his arms, punctured the partition on the door, and blew lightly into the tube.
After doing this, he was about to get up, but he saw the door in front of him was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and then, a cold light suddenly appeared, and before he could even see the scene in front of him, he completely lost his breath.
"What's going on?" Putting on his clothes, Ling Qi quickly walked behind Ximen Chuixue, seeing the man in black lying down in front of the door, the blush on his face disappeared instantly.
"It's cartilage powder." Ximen Chuuxue sniffed a little powder scattered on the door with his fingertips. He lowered his head and sniffed, and said in a cold tone, "It's a kind of drug that can make people awake but paralyzed and unable to move."
"It seems that someone doesn't want us to get involved in the case that Lu Xiaofeng and the others are investigating."
Ling Qi's face turned serious, thinking of the series of events that happened during the day, he thought that these events were probably not accidental, "They want to delay the time, which means there must be other schemes behind this matter."
They were going to the place where Huamanlou was hidden, not the main place where the case took place. If there were no other reasons, there was no need for these people to take such a big risk and attack them in the north of the border.
So there must be other reasons here.
"I will notify Wanmei Villa and ask them to thoroughly investigate these people who appeared today." Ximen Chuuxue's voice was as cold as it could freeze people to death, and his face was even colder.
Ling Qi raised his hand and poked him on the shoulder, and whispered: "Don't be angry, wait until this matter is settled..."
Ahem, a man who is dissatisfied with desire is really scary.
With a slightly relaxed expression, Ximen Chuuxue turned around and stared at Ling Qi, but asked, "It's not safe here, are you sure you want to sleep alone at night?"
"There is only one wall, if there is any movement, you will definitely find out in time." Putting his arms around Ximen Chuuxue's neck, Ling Qi said with a smile: "Of course, if you want to stay with me, you can, but some I’m afraid I can’t continue doing some things.”
In case he was interrupted halfway through, he was afraid that Ximen Chuuxue would lose his temper.
After looking at Ling Qi blankly for a while, Ximen Chuuxue lowered his head and bit Ling Qi's mouth gently.
In the early morning of the next day, Qu Wurong discovered the corpse at Lingqi's gate, her complexion changed, and she hurriedly knocked on the door of Lingqi's room.
Last night, when Ling Qi and Ximen Chuuxue started talking about something, Qu Wurong closed his hearing, so he didn't know that other things happened later, but Qu Wurong didn't have much worry in his heart at the moment.
With Ximen Chuuxue around, Ling Qi will naturally not be in danger.
The one who opened the door was Ximen Chuuxue. Seeing him, Qu Wurong greeted him calmly, and then asked, "Master Ximen, is Ling Qi okay?" As Ling Qi's guard, even if she knew that Ling Qi was fine, she would It's time to say hello.
"Ah."
Glancing at the corpses on the ground, Ximen Chuuxue said coldly: "You stay here, and I'll arrange someone to deal with this matter."
On the other side, after learning the news that Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion was stolen, Yan Tieshan was furious, and immediately offered sky-high rewards, calling on all heroes in the martial arts world to track down the news about the Red Shoes Organization.
Humans make money, birds die for food, rushing to Yan Tieshan's high reward, countless people from all walks of life mobilized together.
Those martial arts people who rushed to offer rewards almost used everything to search for news about the red shoes. All of a sudden, those women in the boudoir were too scared to go out for fear of bumping into unreasonable people. Check what color shoes they are wearing.
This situation caused a lot of complaints from the outside world. Under pressure, Yan Tieshan had to cancel the reward offer—however, his real goal had been achieved.
When turmoil was caused in various places because of this reward, the major sects had secretly dispatched personnel to quickly wipe out the several Tsing Yi Building sub-helms that had been missed before.
This operation achieved remarkable results. In the next few days, they never received any news of that force acting again. Presumably, they temporarily hid in order to avoid the limelight.
At this time, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang also quietly rushed to Hebei.
After being attacked at the inn that day, Ling Qi immediately thought of a countermeasure.
That group of people obviously didn't want them to intervene in this matter, so they simply did their tricks, and they just pretended to be involved in it, so as to attract the opponent's firepower.
Then Ling Qi used the sound transmission talisman to tell Lu Xiaofeng the location of Huamanlou, and asked Lu Xiaofeng to rescue Huamanlou secretly.
In order to ensure that the plan would not be discovered, Yan Tieshan also specially released news, claiming that she had spent a lot of money to ask the fortune teller to come out of the mountain to help her investigate the theft of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion.
Anyway, everyone in the Jianghu knew that Shen Suanzi was a money-loving person. This reason was sufficient and would not arouse suspicion, but there was no need for Yan Tieshan to explain why Ximen Chuuxue and Ling Qi were dispatched together.
Anyway, the relationship between Ling Qi and Ximen Chuuxue is almost well-informed. People who think the red shoes should also know about it. Otherwise, the person who prescribed the medicine before would not have picked Ximen Chuuxue and Ling Qi when they were in the same room. up.
He must be thinking that at that time, Ximen Chuuxue's vigilance will be lowered, and the possibility of success will be higher.
So now, from the outside, it looks like Ling Qi and his party are heading for Shanxi, but in fact, they have made an appointment with Lu Xiaofeng to meet in Hebei.
Ling Qi used the positioning compass to obtain the approximate location of Huamanlou. This location is a bit strange, it is actually at the junction of Hebei and Henan, near Zhanghe River.
However, whether it is in Anyang County in Henan Province or Ci County in Hebei Province, Ling Qi can't be counted.
On the morning of arriving in Hebei, Ling Qi brought Qu Wurong to the Hefangzhai branch in the name of buying pastries.
Ximen Chuuxue did not accompany him this time, but stayed alone in the inn to attract the attention of others.
Hefangzhai is a property under Wanmei Villa, and the people in charge of each place have already known Lingqi's identity. However, due to the previous instructions of the housekeeper Mei, even if he recognized Lingqi, the shopkeeper did not dare to announce it in front of others.
"I want two servings of freshly made crystal osmanthus cake and one serving of glutinous rice cakes. How long will it take to make them?"
Ling Qi wandered around in the store, saw a peddler who seemed to be passing by carrying a box from across the street, so he asked the shopkeeper in a leisurely manner.
"This... crystal osmanthus cake is a specialty of the Jiangnan area. This shop doesn't sell it. Why don't you see if there are any other cakes you like?" Receiving Ling Qi's hint, the shopkeeper immediately reacted and pretended Replied embarrassingly.
"But I just want to eat crystal osmanthus cake right now." Ling Qi blinked, took out a large-denominated bank note from his pocket, and waved it in front of the shopkeeper, "I have plenty of time, and the price is easy to negotiate. Can you accommodate me?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and the shopkeeper immediately nodded, "It's easy to say, as long as you don't mind the trouble, the Taoist priest, the small shop is naturally willing to take this order."
"Then trouble you."
Stuffing the banknotes into the shopkeeper's arms, Ling Qi looked around and asked again: "Is there a place where I can sit and rest? After walking for so long, I'm a little tired."
After collecting the money, the shopkeeper naturally had a face that could say anything, and immediately took Ling Qi and Qu Wurong to the backyard.
After a while, the shopkeeper with a red face came out and told the shop assistant: "Hurry up, prepare some high-quality pastries and tea and send them to the backyard for the distinguished guests to enjoy."
After all, he secretly touched his bulging purse and walked out of the shop humming a little song in a good mood.
On the opposite side, the peddler who had stopped to rest against the wall raised his head, glanced into the store, and then lazily picked up the box and left the street.
"He's gone." Qu Wurong hurried back to the backyard and reported to Ling Qihui.
"It's not too far to walk. This person followed us all the way. He must be an eyeliner sent over there." Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, Ling Qi sighed helplessly: "I guess he will come back later, I hope Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang can arrive early so as not to be noticed anything unusual."
In order to reduce the vigilance of that eyeliner, he just lingered in the snack street for a long time just now, and deliberately revealed in front of the other party that he wanted to eat crystal osmanthus cake.
Otherwise, the other party would not have left Hefangzhai so easily.
"This store is owned by Wanmei Villa, right?" Sitting opposite Ling Qi, Qu Wurong looked at the seemingly quiet backyard, which was actually hard to find a dead corner, and asked Ling Qi curiously.
"How about it, are you surprised?" Ling Qi smiled, and said to Qu Wurong: "Actually, when I first found out about this, I was also taken aback."
"It was really unexpected."
Qu Wurong nodded, thinking that no one would have expected that Ximen Chuuxue would open a pastry shop, and the eyeliner following them certainly would not have expected that this was Ximen Chuuxue's business, otherwise he would not have left easily.
"I'm going, Hefangzhai is actually the property of Wanmei Villa!"
A purposefully suppressed exclamation sounded from behind Ling Qi, but it was Lu Xiaofeng who sneaked into the backyard without knowing when, "No wonder you want us to come here to meet you, not to mention Tsing Yi Lou and Red Shoes, even I I never expected Ximen to be in the pastry business."
Sitting down next to Ling Qi, Lu Xiaofeng sighed and played, picked up the teapot and poured tea directly into his mouth.
"Xiaoling, Miss Qu, it's been a long time." Chu Liuxiang was more polite than Lu Xiaofeng, he first greeted Ling Qi and then sat down gracefully on the other side.
"Long time no see." Ling Qi smiled and held out his hand to Chu Liuxiang, "What about the remaining 30 taels of remuneration?"
With a twitch in the corner of his eyes, Chu Liuxiang silently took out the bank note he had prepared in advance from his sleeve, and silently put it in Ling Qi's hand.
After counting the amount, Ling Qi put the bank note in his arms contentedly, and then enthusiastically started talking to Chu Liuxiang, "Brother Chu, I haven't seen you for so long, where are you happy recently?"
After the parting, he didn't hear much about Chu Liuxiang, and Chu Liuxiang must have gone to hide away with his confidante.
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose and laughed dryly.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng immediately gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "What are you not happy about? Haha, Ling Xiaoqi, you don't know. This time, Lao Chu wanted to raise the 30 taels of reward for you, but his confidante He was imprisoned on the boat and worked as a coolie for two consecutive months!"
Originally, Chu Liuxiang's confidante had complained a lot about his trip to the desert, but later they learned that Chu Liuxiang still owed others 30 taels of silver, so they simply joined forces and took the opportunity to 'retaliate' against Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang is not good at managing money, so the money he has earned over the years has been taken care of by his confidante friends. They insisted on keeping Chu Liuxiang on the boat for two months on the grounds that they are not in charge of the family. Give the money to Chu Liuxiang.
Ling Qi: "Pfft... I didn't laugh on purpose, I just couldn't help it hahahaha..."
It's no wonder that Chu Liuxiang, who always loves to join in the fun, has hardly appeared in the arena during this period of time. His relationship has been locked up, and the famous Xiangshuai has been locked up. This incident is simply too funny!
Lu Xiaofeng: "Chu Liuxiang, oh Chu Liuxiang, by now you should know how terrible the fate of offending a woman is?"
Putting on a straight face, Chu Liuxiang stared at the gloating duo feigning displeasure, but it actually made Ling Qi and Lu Xiaofeng laugh even louder, even Qu Wurong couldn't help showing a hint of a smile in his eyes.
In desperation, Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to say: "Don't just gloat, don't forget that there are still important things to do."
Immediately put away his smile, Ling Qi rubbed his face, and said solemnly to Lu Xiaofeng: "During this time, someone has been following us secretly, so Huamanlou, we can only rely on you to figure out a way."
"Are you sure that Huamanlou is hidden in Anyang County or Ci County?"
Lu Xiaofeng also became serious, he frowned slightly, and said with some headache: "After receiving your news, Chu Liuxiang and I secretly investigated the situation of these two places. According to the information we found, these two places are separate Under the jurisdiction of King Nan and King Taiping..."
The relationship between King Nan and King Taiping was not harmonious, so at the junction of the territories they controlled, the supervision was very strict. These two places were guarded by heavy soldiers. Only with him and Chu Liuxiang, they wanted to get out of the country in a short time. It may be difficult to find out where Huamanlou is hidden in these two places.
"Can you calculate the location more accurately, so that our actions will be much easier."
Ling Qi shook his head and explained: "I can't calculate the people who are close to me. Even his approximate location, I got it by other means."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to sigh in resignation.
"It seems that we can only act separately." Chu Liuxiang dipped in water and drew two lines on the stone table with his fingers, "There is Zhanghe River between Anyang County and Ci County, but the wharf is very strictly guarded." , so the method of crossing the river is not suitable, we'd better take a detour and enter these two places from land."
"The soldiers under King Taiping are more difficult to deal with than the soldiers under King Nan. I am better at lightness skills. I will be in charge of Ci County, and you will be in charge of Anyang County."
"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, raised his head and asked Ling Qi, "Do you still have the talisman?"
"It's already been prepared for you."
Taking out a large stack of talismans, Ling Qi handed it to Lu Xiaofeng, and then took out something that looked like a jewelry box, "This is a special kind of signal flare, and Wanmei Villa will prepare it in these two places. It’s easy to meet them, after you rescue Huamanlou, you can join them directly.”
Wanmei Villa has strongholds in various places, and they are more familiar with the environment than Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang. With their cover, the follow-up matters will be much easier.
"This time I really troubled you and Ximen." Lu Xiaofeng put away the amulets and flares, and thanked Ling Qi: "If it weren't for your and Ximen's help, I don't know how to save Huamanlou."
"Hua Manlou is not the only friend of yours," Ling Qi curled his lips, dissatisfied, "I warn you, after you rescue Hua Manlou, you are absolutely not allowed to drag him into this muddy water again, or I will call Simon shaved you bald."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Now it was Chu Liuxiang's turn to gloat, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng's hair with great interest, and said with a smile: "I'm really curious about what you look like after your head is shaved, it must be very interesting."
"Hey, don't be too happy too early."
Baring his teeth at Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng snorted and said, "Maybe he will offend Ling Xiaoqi one day later, and he will definitely let Ximen Chuuxue shave your eyebrows."
"How could I offend Xiaoling?" Chu Liuxiang smiled very softly, "Xiaoling is my younger brother, and it's too late for me to love him, so I don't want to make him angry."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "When did you become sworn brothers?"
"Just now," Ling Qi patted the place where the money was placed, and said to Lu Xiaofeng with a smile: "Brother Chu and I made an appointment before, this money is not only a reward, but also a ceremony."
Lu Xiaofeng felt a little sour, Ling Xiaoqi Mingming also knocked him a lot of money, but didn't even recognize him as his brother...
Seeing his appearance, Ling Qi couldn't help laughing, "I'm not teasing you, in fact, brother Chu, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan, I have sworn brothers since we were in Lanzhou."
This matter is still a bit oolong to say.
On the night when he returned to Lanzhou from the desert, Hu Tiehua insisted on taking them to drink together. Later, when everyone drank too much, Hu Tiehua jokingly said that he would sworn brothers with Ling Qi, and Chu Liuxiang also joined in the fun, and ended up making a fuss After arguing, the four of them became sworn brothers in a daze.
Thinking about it afterwards, Ling Qi also felt that this sworn marriage was just a joke, so he didn't take it seriously.
If Chu Liuxiang hadn't mentioned it now, he might have completely forgotten about it.
Lu Xiaofeng clicked his tongue, put his hand on Ling Qi's shoulder, and suggested: "Since you have already recognized so many god-brothers, why don't you recognize one more?"
Among other things, if Ling Qi recognizes him as a righteous brother, then in terms of seniority, wouldn't Ximen Chuuxue be better than him...
"You might as well discuss this matter with Simon first."
Seeing someone's tricks, Ling Qi immediately replied with a smirk.
He hurriedly put on his shirt, put on his boots, and rubbed his face vigorously so that his expression would not be too stiff. After doing this, he walked over and opened the door.
"Why... did I disturb you just now?" Thinking of the noise he made just now because he couldn't sleep, Ling Qi lowered his head and touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.

After hesitating for less than two seconds, Ling Qi stretched out his arms and hugged Ximen Chuuxue's waist. After Ximen Chuuxue buried his head and continued to suck kisses on his neck, Ling Qi couldn't help asking in a low voice: "But didn't you say before Are you not ready?"

"But I just want to eat crystal osmanthus cake right now." Ling Qi blinked, took out a large-denominated bank note from his pocket, and waved it in front of the shopkeeper, "I have plenty of time, and the price is easy to negotiate. Can you accommodate me?"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and the shopkeeper immediately nodded, "It's easy to say, as long as you don't mind the trouble, the Taoist priest, the small shop is naturally willing to take this order."
"Then trouble you."
Stuffing the banknotes into the shopkeeper's arms, Ling Qi looked around and asked again: "Is there a place where I can sit and rest? After walking for so long, I'm a little tired."
After collecting the money, the shopkeeper naturally had a face that could say anything, and immediately took Ling Qi and Qu Wurong to the backyard.
After a while, the shopkeeper with a red face came out and told the shop assistant: "Hurry up, prepare some high-quality pastries and tea and send them to the backyard for the distinguished guests to enjoy."
After all, he secretly touched his bulging purse and walked out of the shop humming a little song in a good mood.
On the opposite side, the peddler who had stopped to rest against the wall raised his head, glanced into the store, and then lazily picked up the box and left the street.
"He's gone." Qu Wurong hurried back to the backyard and reported to Ling Qihui.
"It's not too far to walk. This person followed us all the way. He must be an eyeliner sent over there." Picking up his teacup and taking a sip, Ling Qi sighed helplessly: "I guess he will come back later, I hope Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang can arrive early so as not to be noticed anything unusual."
In order to reduce the vigilance of that eyeliner, he just lingered in the snack street for a long time just now, and deliberately revealed in front of the other party that he wanted to eat crystal osmanthus cake.
Otherwise, the other party would not have left Hefangzhai so easily.
"This store is owned by Wanmei Villa, right?" Sitting opposite Ling Qi, Qu Wurong looked at the seemingly quiet backyard, which was actually hard to find a dead corner, and asked Ling Qi curiously.
"How about it, are you surprised?" Ling Qi smiled, and said to Qu Wurong: "Actually, when I first found out about this, I was also taken aback."
"It was really unexpected."
Qu Wurong nodded, thinking that no one would have expected that Ximen Chuuxue would open a pastry shop, and the eyeliner following them certainly would not have expected that this was Ximen Chuuxue's business, otherwise he would not have left easily.
"I'm going, Hefangzhai is actually the property of Wanmei Villa!"
A purposefully suppressed exclamation sounded from behind Ling Qi, but it was Lu Xiaofeng who sneaked into the backyard without knowing when, "No wonder you want us to come here to meet you, not to mention Tsing Yi Lou and Red Shoes, even I I never expected Ximen to be in the pastry business."
Sitting down next to Ling Qi, Lu Xiaofeng sighed and played, picked up the teapot and poured tea directly into his mouth.
"Xiaoling, Miss Qu, it's been a long time." Chu Liuxiang was more polite than Lu Xiaofeng, he first greeted Ling Qi and then sat down gracefully on the other side.
"Long time no see." Ling Qi smiled and held out his hand to Chu Liuxiang, "What about the remaining 30 taels of remuneration?"
With a twitch in the corner of his eyes, Chu Liuxiang silently took out the bank note he had prepared in advance from his sleeve, and silently put it in Ling Qi's hand.
After counting the amount, Ling Qi put the bank note in his arms contentedly, and then enthusiastically started talking to Chu Liuxiang, "Brother Chu, I haven't seen you for so long, where are you happy recently?"
After the parting, he didn't hear much about Chu Liuxiang, and Chu Liuxiang must have gone to hide away with his confidante.
Chu Liuxiang rubbed her nose and laughed dryly.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaofeng immediately gloated and said with a gleeful smile: "What are you not happy about? Haha, Ling Xiaoqi, you don't know. This time, Lao Chu wanted to raise the 30 taels of reward for you, but his confidante He was imprisoned on the boat and worked as a coolie for two consecutive months!"
Originally, Chu Liuxiang's confidante had complained a lot about his trip to the desert, but later they learned that Chu Liuxiang still owed others 30 taels of silver, so they simply joined forces and took the opportunity to 'retaliate' against Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang is not good at managing money, so the money he has earned over the years has been taken care of by his confidante friends. They insisted on keeping Chu Liuxiang on the boat for two months on the grounds that they are not in charge of the family. Give the money to Chu Liuxiang.
Ling Qi: "Pfft... I didn't laugh on purpose, I just couldn't help it hahahaha..."
It's no wonder that Chu Liuxiang, who always loves to join in the fun, has hardly appeared in the arena during this period of time. His relationship has been locked up, and the famous Xiangshuai has been locked up. This incident is simply too funny!
Lu Xiaofeng: "Chu Liuxiang, oh Chu Liuxiang, by now you should know how terrible the fate of offending a woman is?"
Putting on a straight face, Chu Liuxiang stared at the gloating duo feigning displeasure, but it actually made Ling Qi and Lu Xiaofeng laugh even louder, even Qu Wurong couldn't help showing a hint of a smile in his eyes.
In desperation, Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to say: "Don't just gloat, don't forget that there are still important things to do."
Immediately put away his smile, Ling Qi rubbed his face, and said solemnly to Lu Xiaofeng: "During this time, someone has been following us secretly, so Huamanlou, we can only rely on you to figure out a way."
"Are you sure that Huamanlou is hidden in Anyang County or Ci County?"
Lu Xiaofeng also became serious, he frowned slightly, and said with some headache: "After receiving your news, Chu Liuxiang and I secretly investigated the situation of these two places. According to the information we found, these two places are separate Under the jurisdiction of King Nan and King Taiping..."
The relationship between King Nan and King Taiping was not harmonious, so at the junction of the territories they controlled, the supervision was very strict. These two places were guarded by heavy soldiers. Only with him and Chu Liuxiang, they wanted to get out of the country in a short time. It may be difficult to find out where Huamanlou is hidden in these two places.
"Can you calculate the location more accurately, so that our actions will be much easier."
Ling Qi shook his head and explained: "I can't calculate the people who are close to me. Even his approximate location, I got it by other means."
Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to sigh in resignation.
"It seems that we can only act separately." Chu Liuxiang dipped in water and drew two lines on the stone table with his fingers, "There is Zhanghe River between Anyang County and Ci County, but the wharf is very strictly guarded." , so the method of crossing the river is not suitable, we'd better take a detour and enter these two places from land."
"The soldiers under King Taiping are more difficult to deal with than the soldiers under King Nan. I am better at lightness skills. I will be in charge of Ci County, and you will be in charge of Anyang County."
"Okay." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, raised his head and asked Ling Qi, "Do you still have the talisman?"
"It's already been prepared for you."
Taking out a large stack of talismans, Ling Qi handed it to Lu Xiaofeng, and then took out something that looked like a jewelry box, "This is a special kind of signal flare, and Wanmei Villa will prepare it in these two places. It’s easy to meet them, after you rescue Huamanlou, you can join them directly.”
Wanmei Villa has strongholds in various places, and they are more familiar with the environment than Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang. With their cover, the follow-up matters will be much easier.
"This time I really troubled you and Ximen." Lu Xiaofeng put away the amulets and flares, and thanked Ling Qi: "If it weren't for your and Ximen's help, I don't know how to save Huamanlou."
"Hua Manlou is not the only friend of yours," Ling Qi curled his lips, dissatisfied, "I warn you, after you rescue Hua Manlou, you are absolutely not allowed to drag him into this muddy water again, or I will call Simon shaved you bald."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Now it was Chu Liuxiang's turn to gloat, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng's hair with great interest, and said with a smile: "I'm really curious about what you look like after your head is shaved, it must be very interesting."
"Hey, don't be too happy too early."
Baring his teeth at Chu Liuxiang, Lu Xiaofeng snorted and said, "Maybe he will offend Ling Xiaoqi one day later, and he will definitely let Ximen Chuuxue shave your eyebrows."
"How could I offend Xiaoling?" Chu Liuxiang smiled very softly, "Xiaoling is my younger brother, and it's too late for me to love him, so I don't want to make him angry."
Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked, "When did you become sworn brothers?"
"Just now," Ling Qi patted the place where the money was placed, and said to Lu Xiaofeng with a smile: "Brother Chu and I made an appointment before, this money is not only a reward, but also a ceremony."
Lu Xiaofeng felt a little sour, Ling Xiaoqi Mingming also knocked him a lot of money, but didn't even recognize him as his brother...
Seeing his appearance, Ling Qi couldn't help laughing, "I'm not teasing you, in fact, brother Chu, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan, I have sworn brothers since we were in Lanzhou."
This matter is still a bit oolong to say.
On the night when he returned to Lanzhou from the desert, Hu Tiehua insisted on taking them to drink together. Later, when everyone drank too much, Hu Tiehua jokingly said that he would sworn brothers with Ling Qi, and Chu Liuxiang also joined in the fun, and ended up making a fuss After arguing, the four of them became sworn brothers in a daze.
Thinking about it afterwards, Ling Qi also felt that this sworn marriage was just a joke, so he didn't take it seriously.
If Chu Liuxiang hadn't mentioned it now, he might have completely forgotten about it.
Lu Xiaofeng clicked his tongue, put his hand on Ling Qi's shoulder, and suggested: "Since you have already recognized so many god-brothers, why don't you recognize one more?"
Among other things, if Ling Qi recognizes him as a righteous brother, then in terms of seniority, wouldn't Ximen Chuuxue be better than him...
"You might as well discuss this matter with Simon first."
Seeing someone's tricks, Ling Qi immediately replied with a smirk.
