honey with flowers

[It's... a perfect match. 】

--"It's you."

'She is you. 'It can only be you.

These were Hua Manlou's original words, and when the deep voice passed by his ears, even Lu Xiaofeng, who knew the details, was shocked by his surprise, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't make fun of the two of them afterwards, because He made a tragic discovery... the two mustaches on his mouth fell off at some point.

After the weather calmed down, the three of them were already on their way to Hell's Mansion.

Yan's Mansion is in Shanxi, the road is not close, and it takes a few days to ride a horse.

"When Miss Long was sick, I went to Ximen Chuuxue, and he promised to help me—but the condition is that he shaves my beard." Lu Xiaofeng explained, then sighed helplessly, "I can't get along with my beard."

After all, he started to gesticulate with a separate fake beard on his face again, but after all, he lost a beard, and it doesn't look good just sticking on a fake beard.After thinking about it, he decided to tear it off—it would be more handsome without a signature beard, he thought as he touched the place on his lips that had become smooth.

Hua Manlou let out a muffled laugh: "This method is good, it's a pleasure to shave cleanly - speaking of it, it can turn Lu Xiaofeng into a real Lu Xiaoji, and I really want to meet this Ximen owner."

"...Lu, Lu Xiaoji?!" Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, and suddenly seemed to think of something, gnashed his teeth and said, "Did that greasy-haired and pink-faced Young Master Ma start..."

"Brother Lu also knows." Hua Manlou smiled slightly, shaking his fan, "Actually, I think this name is very suitable for your current appearance. What do you think, Longer?"

When Xiao Longnv looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a contrastive look, she always told the truth, and she nodded slightly at the end—in fact, no matter what, what Qi Tong said was correct.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

-

Shanxi was owned by the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period, so even though it has been inherited to this day, most of the buildings in it have the style of the State of Jin. A large row of houses are scattered on both sides of the street, and the slightly smoky orange sunset coats the entire sky. Feeling warm, Xiao Longnv held the reins loosely, clamped the horse's belly with her stretched calves, and controlled the horse to drive towards the inn.

The trees on both sides are oily green, and gradually darken as the sun sets - no matter how good your skills are, if you don't have something urgent to do, you'd better not hurry at night if you are in a foreign place.Especially when there is an inn nearby... people always want to rest.

The ground seemed to have just rained, the soil was soft and slightly damp, Lu Xiaofeng went in and booked three guest rooms, Xiao Longnu followed behind them, and looked forward as if feeling something—

In the breeze with a few drops of water, there is a piece of ink-gold clothes with a bit of dampness in front of the eyes.

The man sat quietly in the corner of the inn, squinting his eyes slightly, raising his glass and sipping lightly, even his every move was like a vivid painting by the painter: the golden robe was shiny, the black was rich , which made his whole person look like a stroke of outline.

But in the eyes of outsiders, his temperament is more comparable to him. A few strands of gray and white hair let the breeze blow on his shoulders, but he is by no means a leisurely and unrestrained appearance, but more like a sword drawn by a good sword. The sharp long sword that has been honed for decades, with all the brilliance collected in the sword body, must be the true meaning of the rivers and lakes people who want to call for freedom-unrestrained, unrestrained.

Xiao Longnv cast her gaze on this man suspiciously.

For some reason, even though the person's eyes had never looked over, she always felt that the person was watching her from the moment she entered the door. It felt like she had seen something interesting.

— Odd people.

Xiaolongnv walked to Huamanlou's side, but saw the brilliance between his brows, and suddenly looked at the corner just now - at this time, the man in the black gold robe had slowly raised his head, with a pair of extremely ordinary eyes, His eyes fell directly on Hua Manlou's body, and he moved away slightly after a while, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he smiled meaningfully.

This person doesn't look very old, his brows are delicate, and he looks good-looking. At this moment, his phoenix eyes are slightly raised, and he looks a little more wanton and crazy than Lu Xiaofeng's prodigal son.

"There's a person sitting there." Hua Manlou's tone was different from usual, he usually knew the people around him just by hearing it, but this time it was different, although it was an affirmative sentence, there was a hint of doubt——

It seems to be in trouble.

"En." Xiao Longnv nodded, and after thinking about it, she looked sideways and expressed her doubts: "Qitong, this person is a bit strange." She didn't deliberately lower her voice, but kept the same tone as usual, so the whole inn As long as people who have learned about internal force can generally hear it.

The little girl was so forthright that many people in the hall smiled. This is a beautiful and straightforward girl who looks like a fairy from a distance.

Sure enough, after she finished saying this, the man in the dark gold robe in the corner raised his head again, this time looking at Xiao Longnu, raised his eyebrows, as if he was particularly amused by her "outspokenness".

Hua Manlou stretched out his hand to hold the little girl's hand, his body tensed slightly.The reason why he was so nervous was not because he had a premonition of any danger, but because he heard nothing - there was no sound of footsteps in the corner, no sound of breathing, no sound of wine glasses hitting the table, but there was a smell of wind and sand and salty water. The fishy smell of rain, and even some faint willow smell that can only be produced outside the gate——

There is a person sitting there.

That is a master who walks without sound, even if he studied the Jade-Nv-Heart-Sutra together with Xiao Longnv, he also knows that if he confronts this person, he will not be able to win, and neither will Lu Xiaofeng.

Hua Manlou rubbed the little girl's head and said helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xiao Longnv looked at him half-understood, with some doubts in her cold eyes.

"Let's go upstairs." Hua Manlou smiled, maybe that person just happened to meet - don't be too nervous, after this stop, we won't meet again.

The man in the corner stroked the hanging gray hair, and took a deep look at the backs of the two of them. There was a wave of fluctuation in the originally ordinary eyes, which were so dark to green that they inadvertently permeated with a bit of inexplicable coldness. the loneliness.

Grabbing the wine glass, he hooked his lips and gave a chuckle with no clear meaning.

——White clothes, good at swordsmanship, and good disposition.

It's... a perfect match.

"If Hua Manlou hadn't been aware of it, I would have thought it was just an ordinary wealthy businessman. However, no matter who he is, it should have nothing to do with the current Jinpeng Dynasty - if the fake Jinpeng King can recruit such a master, there will be no If you need to ask me to help again." Lu Xiaofeng touched his bare upper lip, then raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to knock on the table, and shouted at the counter: "Shopkeeper, bring two jugs of warm wine!"

The store below responded, and soon brought two jugs of wine. They were top-quality Huadiao, and their appearance was excellent—the aroma of the wine was stronger than that of the ten-year-old wine, and a little less than that of the century-old wine. People who know how to drink It can be seen at a glance that this wine has never been mixed with water, and its purity is extremely high.It is not easy to drink such a good wine from such a remote shop.

Smelling the aroma of the wine, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes sparkled even more, and he spontaneously took a pot and poured it into the thick porcelain wine glass in front of him, shaking his head regretfully: "Wine is excellent wine, but it's a pity that there is no wine to match it Utensils—but it’s better to have coarse porcelain cups to hold wine and water.”

Seeing that he was quite researched, Xiao Longnu looked at the coarse porcelain wine glass in front of the building dazzled, and curiously stretched out a finger to touch the wall of the glass. Except for the color and the touch of the fingertips, she didn't feel that the shape of the glass was different from other things. What's the difference? She looked down at the white water in her hand, and the wine glass with Hua Manlou between her two fingers fell apart. Looking at the clear water, she tilted her head: "You have to change to a different glass for drinking. drink?"

"Of course!" Lu Xiaofeng beamed brightly.

Hua Manlou's black eyes 'looked' over, apparently aware of her little movements, and rubbed the top of her head in a funny way: "Only have a drink."

He didn't forget how the other party looked drunk - if it happened again, he couldn't guarantee that he could continue to sit still... he could hold it.

"Each type of wine glass, or its color function, or its special meaning, always endows the wine with a different taste and meaning... And whenever you drink to your heart's content, you can also like this—" Lu Xiaofeng took He picked up a wooden chopstick, tapped it twice on the coarse porcelain wine glass, played a melody, and then opened his mouth and sang:

"Life is full of joy, don't let the golden bottle face the moon..."

It's not very tasty, why does Qitong like it?It seems that she has drank water with this taste before - Xiao Longnv thought strangely while sipping the wine.Until the glass of wine was exhausted, Lu Xiaofeng was still singing these two lines.The people in the store couldn't bear it anymore... After all, it was Lu Xiaofeng who sang, not the singer, so the singing was not very pleasant, which is fine, but this person only sang a few lines back and forth, which is really annoying. Keep listening.

Since Lu Xiaofeng looked like a person from the world, he was not easy to provoke, so many ordinary people changed from eating slowly at the beginning to eating very quickly, until they finally left the inn - until the man in the black gold robe in the corner Seemingly Shi Shiran walked out of the gate, his figure gradually faded, almost turning into the same color as the sky.

The singing stopped abruptly at this time.

Hua Manlou showed a look of resentment, his hearing has always been excellent, and the feeling of magic sounds permeating his ears is many times higher than that of ordinary people, "I know you want to force that person to leave, but with this method—you are not afraid that he will find him directly. Are you coming up?"

"I've always been very lucky." Lu Xiaofeng blinked, then looked out the door thoughtfully, touched his chin and said, "But I always feel that this person is a little strange."

This is Lu Xiaofeng's intuition.

Hua Manlou pursed her lips and drank the wine in her glass.He didn't refute, because he also felt that most of the other party's perception—had been staying in the direction where they were on the second floor.
