[Lu Xiaofeng] Looking at the sea by leaning on flowers

After the three of them chatted in Huamanlou's room, Jin Jiuling came, and after a few words of jokes, a servant of the Hua family hurried over with a lantern.

"Master," he said anxiously, "come with me, the master has fainted."

Several people were startled and rushed to Ziwei Pavilion immediately.Hua Ruling was already awake at this time, lying weakly on the seat, several sect leaders, Eagle Eye Lao Qi and Miracle Doctor Song were all in the hall.

"It's him, Iron Shoes, it's really him," Hua Ruling sighed, "Even that thing is gone."

Hua Manlou was startled: "How could it be?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked the question for the bewildered people: "Uncle Hua, what exactly is missing?"

"That is a treasure of my Hua family." Hua Ruling stated in a painful voice, "Just now everyone went back to the room to rest, I was a little worried, so I checked around, and sure enough, the treasure is gone..."

After reasoning for a while, Lu Xiaofeng looked at the Hua family father and son with doubts: "What is that treasure?"

The irritable eagle-eyed old seventh was so anxious that he directly questioned Hua Ruling.Hua Ruling looked distressed, hesitating and not explaining, but Master Kuzhi's words and demeanor showed that he knew something.

In the end, it was Jin Jiuling who answered the question: "Is it because the Jade Buddha in the vast sea has disappeared?"

Everyone was amazed, the Jade Buddha of the Vast Sea was so famous that everyone present had heard about it.Hua Ruling led the crowd to the secret room where the Jade Buddha was hidden, and then explained the reason in detail. It turned out that the Jade Buddha is a national treasure of the Hanhai Kingdom, and the prince who mastered it was equivalent to mastering the royal power. The old king was worried that the princes would fight for power, so he decided to Entrust the treasure to Hua Ruling for safekeeping.Back then, it was this treasure that Iron Shoes came to Hua's family to steal.

"Jin Jiuling," Lu Xiaofeng stared sharply at the man in official uniform, "How did you know?"

Jin Jiuling smiled and said: "I received a secret report from the imperial court that the Peacock Prince of Hanhai Kingdom has hired a very powerful character to seize the Jade Buddha of Hanhai before the old king promulgates the will to usurp the throne."

"That formidable character is the Iron Shoes Bandit." Lu Xiaofeng affirmed.

Jin Jiuling nodded, pointing to the iron shoe footprints and bloody handwriting on the wall: "I didn't know who it was, but now it must be him."

Everyone followed his gesture to look at the wall, but Li Canghai noticed it as soon as he came in. There was written: "At noon tomorrow, I will come to claim my life."

Hua Ruling also affirmed that the handwriting belonged to Iron Shoes, he sighed and apologized to Hua Manlou: "Iron Shoes are really not dead, father wrongly blamed you." After Hua Manlou softly comforted him, he was still in a difficult mood, " But, how is this possible?" The secret room was built by Zhu Ting, and it is generally impossible for someone to open the secret room.

What Jin Jiuling said directly made Zhu Ting suspicious; while Lu Xiaofeng didn't believe that Zhu Ting would leak the secret.In addition, there are still many mysteries, such as why iron shoes have left the message of provocation tomorrow since they stole the Jade Buddha.Everyone is puzzled.

Li Canghai, who had been listening to the secret, turned his eyes around Hua Ruling, Lu Xiaofeng, and Jin Jiuling, then glanced at Song Wencao and Guan Tai indiscriminately, and finally his eyes fell on the inner wall of the secret room seemingly unintentionally. , The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"When I saw him back then, I was almost like a ghost," Hua Ruling said about the iron shoes, still showing lingering fears, and explained under Lu Xiaofeng's questioning, "At that time we set up an ambush together, and the iron shoes really fell into the trap. It was safe, but I didn't expect that when we chased to the Meng River, the dog thief disappeared like a ghost."

Lu Xiaofeng expressed doubts: "Could the iron shoes cross the river and escape?"

"Impossible," Hua Ruling said firmly, "We sent people to guard both sides of the river, and searched for two full hours by the river, but we didn't even find a footprint..."

Everyone was in a state of amazement, Eagle Eye Seventh couldn't hold back his yelling, and said that if it was a ghost, he would ask his Maoshan brothers to come and help catch the ghost.

Li Canghai scoffed lightly when he heard the words, and was just heard by Hua Manlou who was beside her.He then asked, "What's Cang Hai's opinion?"

Only then did everyone notice Li Canghai who had been standing silently by the side, and looked at her curiously.There were so many people talking, Li Canghai always appeared in the image of a man, now he suppressed his voice, and said slowly: "Don't you know that there are special exercises in this world that teach people to hold one's breath? Let alone hiding two people in the river. At Shichen, people who are good at holding their breath can directly feign death, and it is easy to not breathe for two or three days." In the cheats of the Xiaoyao School, there is a turtle's breathing technique.

"Is what Qi Shaoxia said true?" Hua Ruling was taken aback.

Scanning the group of people with heavy expressions, Li Canghai looked at Hua Ruling, and said, "Of course I am not talking nonsense. Uncle Hua, you should think about it again about the iron shoe robber, maybe you missed something earlier. "

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, smiled suddenly, seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "So that's how it is..."

The people who figured out the front and the consequences, even if they were thinking about it, it would be useless to stay in the secret room right now, so they left one after another.When they came out, they found that everyone in Ziwei Pavilion had disappeared. Li Canghai walked behind Hua Ruling, heard him call Hua Ping's name, and secretly speculated: Hua Ruling couldn't have made arrangements for the iron shoes to provoke...

This night, it was really rare to be peaceful.In the empty hall, everyone found a pot of strangely shaped flowers placed in the center of the table.Master Kuzhi immediately pointed out that the flower was called Aescin chinensis.

The miracle doctor Song Wencao affirmed: "It is said that the Aescinus chinensis is a terrible curse. Whenever this flower appears in the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably set off a bloody disaster. Whenever it leaves a leaf, one person will die. When the leaf When the light falls, the whole family will be wiped out."

Several people were frightened by this legend.Li Canghai looked at Song Wencao, and sneered in his heart: It seems that her guess is close to ten, but... She looked at Lu Xiaofeng, this person obviously had some schemes, frowning lightly, and finally said nothing Said—after all, some of her ideas are just intuition, without strong evidence, and the group of people in Hanhai Kingdom must be involved, involving diplomacy and other countries' internal affairs, and some things need solutions to solve them.

At this time, Eagle-eyed Seventh couldn't bear it any longer, and unbelievingly wanted to touch the seven-leaf heartbroken grass.Suddenly, countless silver needles flew in from the outside, and everyone hurriedly blocked them, causing chaos.

Li Canghai walked lightly, and waved away all the silver needles facing her in his wide Taoist robe. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a silver needle shot straight at Yuan Daxia's forehead, and then flung out the cold silk. All the silver needles around the opponent were swept away.

No one died, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, Echinacea chinensis," Li Canghai turned his head to look at the pot of flowers with a smile, and said lightly, "That's all." If she guessed correctly, if someone died just now, the leaf would probably be gone by now. fell.It's a pity that she was very annoyed by the iron shoes, and she wanted to stir up a mess.

"Canghai..." Hua Manlou took her hand, already guessing her next move, so he hurriedly stopped her.

"Xiaoyao evil doctor is just like the rumors in the world, his martial arts are unfathomable." Yuan Daxia was saved, his eyes were grateful, he praised repeatedly, and bowed to her, "Qi Shaoxia, thank you for your kindness, in the future you need Yuan Mou The place where Yuan Mou must define it!"

Before Li Canghai could reply, a family servant came running in panic: "Master, something is wrong, those guests and servants all fell to the ground, twitching and foaming at the mouth..."

It was chaos again.

"Hua Man Lou, do you need my help?" Li Canghai looked at Song Wen Cao taking the pulse of the poisoned guest and servant, and then looked back at Hua Man Lou: Since she thought Song Wen Cao was suspicious, she naturally didn't want to give Tie Xie anything to take advantage of. machine.

Hua Ruling was relieved after confirming that the lives of the guests were not in danger, and looked at Li Canghai with a smile: "I almost forgot, it is rumored that Qi Shaoxia's medical skills are no worse than Song's genius doctor." It is the evil doctor who treats the sick and wounded people in the Jianghu There are a lot of rules and some evil rules.

Hua Manlou finally showed his first smile tonight, and nodded to Li Canghai: "That's hard work for you, Canghai."

Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiuling called Huamanlou out at this time, Li Canghai stayed in Ziwei Pavilion to treat the poisoned people, and secretly monitored Song Wencao's every move.Song Wencao asked her kindly, asking her to help give acupuncture and moxibustion to several seriously ill people, and leave before her.

When Li Canghai finished packing up the things at hand, it was already broad daylight. Following the noise in the hall, he went downstairs, just in time to see Guan Tai who was tied to a chair shot by a poisonous needle——Lu Xiaofeng had found out that he was murdered. The real culprit of Wuzhangmen was interrogating him about the Iron Shoes Thief—at this time, he wanted to reach out to rescue him, but he was obviously a step too late.

And everyone didn't care to pursue Guan Tai's death, because outside the Ziwei Pavilion, the dancer from the Western Regions directly revealed her identity as the Peacock Princess, threatened Hua Ruling to fail, and ordered a group of boys with bows and crossbows to surround them .

Li Canghai watched with cold eyes the Peacock Princess clapping her hands triumphantly, and the emissary of the vast sea, Emir, came out playing the flute.The sound of the song was eerie, but beautiful. Unfortunately, the knights present were not blessed to enjoy it. They all looked like they were drunk, and groaned in pain.

His wrist was suddenly grabbed, Li Canghai turned his head to look at Hua Manlou, who was also suffering from a "headache", and saw that he shook his head slightly to himself. With a thought, he gave up his plan to strangle Emil directly, and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng , also pretended to be poisoned.

The bows and crossbows in the hands of the boys shot out poisonous arrows like a torrential rain. The poisoned people were exhausted, so they could only retreat and hide in the house, closing the door tightly.

Li Canghai was not surprised to see Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiuling who had "returned to normal" as soon as they entered the room. The two quickly closed the doors and windows, and moved tables and chairs behind the door.

In the chaos, Taoist Master Shi Que was hit by a poisoned arrow.After Jin Jiuling drew an arrow to stop the bleeding, Li Canghai took out a detoxification pill and asked the other party to take it.At this time, the arrows shot in from outside had been replaced with rockets.

"This is gunpowder!" Lu Xiaofeng squatted in front of the gift from Hanhai Kingdom, suddenly said loudly.

Outside the house, the sound of the flute that made everyone have a splitting headache continued, and several people were so painful that they could no longer stand still.

"Father," Hua Manlou knelt in front of Hua Ruling who was sitting on the ground covering her head in pain, and said anxiously, "It seems that we can only hide in the secret passage."

Li Canghai swung the nine-foot cold gauze, and sent part of the rocket flying, passing through the window paper in the opposite direction, and falling outside.When she heard Hua ManLou's voice, she paused, glanced at Song Wen Cao, who was beside her dazed and nodding in agreement, and found that Lu XiaoFeng was also looking there, her heart moved slightly.

Sure enough, Hua Ruling led a group of people into the secret room where the Jade Buddha was hidden again.

The secret room completely isolated the sound of the flute from the rocket. Everyone was relieved when they heard Huamanlou suddenly say, "What's the sound?"

"It's the Meng River that's flooding," Hua Ruling listened carefully for a while, and suddenly said in surprise, "Someone broke the sluice of the Meng River!" The bigger it is, the more it becomes a waterfall.

When everyone panicked again, Li Canghai looked at the gossip diagram on the inner wall, and curled his lips.
