Shuzhong, official road

The afternoon sun brought bursts of warmth, shining on the carriage on the official road, the carriage was covered with thick cushions, Luo Qingning was taking an afternoon nap, while Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were sitting outside the carriage and chatting.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Luo Qingning who was in the carriage, with a look of indignation: "Qing Ning, her master is dead?"

Hua Manlou frowned, and said, "Yes, and we suspect that the murderer is related to Aunt Gongsun."

Lu Xiaofeng asked suspiciously: "It has something to do with her?"

Hua Manlou nodded and said, "When Qing Ning was with Aunt Gongsun, she found an envelope with leaves in her room. This time, I also found the same thing in that fake Qiao Mingyu's room."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard and said, "Qing Ning suspects that the leaf is a tool for them to convey information?"

Hua Manlou: "That's right, there is also the gold and silver that disappeared in the case of the Embroidered Thief."

Lu Xiaofeng: "So, the treasure in Huo Xiu's small building has also disappeared. Could it be related to Aunt Gongsun?"

Hua Manlou: "I don't know what the connection is, but I always feel that Aunt Gongsun always appeared in the two cases."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed suddenly, and said: "It seems that we have been played around by that black hand behind the scenes."

Hua Manlou: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I don't look for trouble, but trouble will always come to me automatically, this time it must be like this."

Hua Manlou also seemed to relax a bit, he chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that you, Lu Xiaofeng, have also met a comparable opponent."

Lu Xiaofeng: "I still hope to meet a beauty, not an opponent."

capital, station

The carriage headed north and gradually entered the official road leading to the capital.As soon as they entered the boundary of the capital, the number of horse-drawn carriages on the official road increased significantly. Besides officials and businessmen, there were also many martial arts people coming and going.

Lu Xiaofeng and his party were resting in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain, this small teahouse was already crowded with people inside and out.

Luo Qingning glanced around, and said, "It seems that there are quite a few people here attracted by the name."

Lu Xiaofeng pouted nonchalantly.

Hua Manlou turned to Lu Xiaofeng: "You don't seem very happy."

Holding the teacup, Lu Xiaofeng said, "No one wants their friends to become monkeys playing tricks in the eyes of others."

Luo Qingning looked at the obviously displeased Lu Xiaofeng, smiled slightly, and said, "Maybe they will change to a place where no one will bother them."

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to reply at first, but right now there was a person who caught his attention even more, that was a monk, a monk wearing a pair of worn-out straw sandals.The monk walked very quickly, and within a few strokes he reached the table where Lu Xiaofeng and the others were sitting, and sat down.

Lu Xiaofeng handed the monk a cup of tea and said, "The honest monk runs so fast, could it be that he has done something dishonest again?"

The honest monk picked up the teacup and drank it down, said: "The monk has not done anything dishonest, only a man like you will do dishonest things."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Didn't the monk come from a brothel this time?"

The honest monk's face was flushed by Lu Xiaofeng's words, he lowered his head, and said: "The monk knew that there was nothing good to come to you, but he lost to the Taoist priest, so he had to come."

Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed, and he said, "Daoist Mu asked you to come?"

The honest monk nodded and said, "The Taoist asked the monk to tell you that the decisive battle has changed."

Lu Xiaofeng asked anxiously, "Where did it change?"

The honest monk slowly took out a steamed bun and gnawed on it: "September [-]th, the top of the Forbidden City."

Lu Xiaofeng looked surprised, and said, "Are they going to duel in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

The honest monk nodded and said: "The Taoist priest is afraid that you don't know, so he specially asked me to tell you."

Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "Where is Taoist Mu now?"

The honest monk had finished eating his steamed bun, clapped his hands, stood up from his seat, and said, "In the capital."

After all, he hurriedly left on the same road.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, and said: "Qing Ning really hit the mark, they really changed to a place where no one would bother them."

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Now you don't have to worry about their competition being watched like a monkey."

beep—

Just as Luo Qingning and Lu Xiaofeng were chatting happily, there was a strange sound of blowing bamboo, and then a red light flashed in front of Luo Qingning's eyes.

"Be careful!" Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng said at the same time, Huamanlou stretched out his hand, and slid out a few steps with Luo Qingning's body, Lu Xiaofeng reached out and pinched the red shadow, which was A little red snake.

Luo Qingning's face was ashen, and she said coldly: "It seems that someone already knows that we are not dead yet."

Luo Qingning took the little red snake from Lu Xiaofeng's hand, pinched its head, the little snake stopped struggling immediately, and she carefully put the little snake in a cage made of straw , casually tied around the waist.

Hua Manlou turned to the direction where the little snake was attacking just now, and said, "They use bamboo whistles to control the little snake."

Luo Qingning stared at the woods outside the teahouse and thought, "Using a bamboo whistle to control the snake to kill people, and the only ones who appeared before and after the decisive battle were the sons of Prince Nan. Where would they hide?" '

After contemplating for a while, Luo Qingning got up and walked towards Xiao Er in the teahouse, and asked, "Xiao Er, are there any smaller temples nearby?"

Xiao Er stopped wiping the table, thought carefully for a while, and said, "There is a Gospel Temple in the east of the city. It's a small temple with few monks."

Luo Qingning took out a piece of silver and gave it to Xiao Er with a smile, then turned and went back to the table: "Let's go, go to the Gospel Temple."

East of the capital, Gospel Temple

Just like what Xiaoer said, the Gospel Temple is indeed a very small temple, located on an unknown hillside in the east of the city, there is only one abbot and a young monk in charge of cleaning in the temple, and coincidentally, the abbot regards Lu Xiaofeng as a benefactor.

Luo Qingning watched the performance of kowtowing and thanking at the entrance of the temple, and smiled happily. She turned to Hua Manlou and said, "It's convenient to have Lu Xiaofeng by my side, and you can meet acquaintances in such a small place."

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, and said, "Lu Xiaofeng's biggest advantage is that he likes to make friends."

Luo Qingning glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Then his biggest shortcoming is that he likes to cause trouble."

"Wrong, I never cause trouble, it's trouble that troubles me." Lu Xiaofeng crossed his arms and stood leisurely at the gate of the temple, next to him was the abbot of this temple, Shengtong.

According to Shengtong, six years ago, their family was persecuted by Huo Tianqing, and the whole family was expelled from Guanzhong. Since then, their parents have separated and their brothers have been scattered. Fighting against Huo Tianqing, in the end Huo Tianqing died because of Lu Xiaofeng. Shengtong was very grateful and regarded Lu Xiaofeng as a benefactor for a while.

Lu Xiaofeng walked up to Luo Qingning, with a curious look on his face, he asked, "How do you know Ye Gucheng is here?"

Luo Qingning smiled and said, "Guess."

Lu Xiaofeng had a look of disbelief: "Guess?"

Luo Qingning nodded, pointed at Huamanlou: "If you don't believe me, ask Huamanlou."

Lu Xiaofeng turned his face to Huamanlou, who nodded with a pampering face, Lu Xiaofeng shook his head helplessly, and said: "Huamanlou, women can't be spoiled too much, they will be spoiled!"

Luo Qingning ignored the suspicious little phoenix, and instead led Huamanlou into the inner hall of the temple.

As soon as Luo Qingning stepped into the inner hall, her whole body froze as if petrified. What Luo Qingning saw before her eyes was the chest of a naked man with fair skin and strong muscles. The owner of the chest is now Sitting casually on the bed in the temple, beside him stood a man in white clothes Shengxue with a stern face who was smearing something on his chest.

"Ximen Chuuxue!" Lu Xiaofeng's surprised voice sounded from behind, Luo Qingning quickly put away her petrified expression, and looked away from the man.

'The one on the bed should be Ye Gucheng, but why is Ximen Chuuxue here?Why are you rubbing medicine on Ye Gucheng?Ye Gucheng actually asked Ximen Sword God to rub the medicine on him with a look of enjoyment?There are j□j! ! Luo Qingning's powerful brain function made her blush like a ripe apple.

Lu Xiaofeng stepped into the inner hall with a few steps, and stood beside Ye Gucheng. There was an obvious wound on Ye Gucheng's bare chest. The wound was already slightly rotten, with yellow pus flowing out.

Lu Xiaofeng was shocked and said, "Are you injured?"

Ye Gucheng still maintained his icy face and said, "A little injury."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Who hurt you?"

Ye Gucheng didn't answer, but Shengtong who followed Lu Xiaofeng answered for him: "It's Tang Tianyi."

Lu Xiaofeng: "With your skill, it is impossible for Tang Tianyi to hurt you."

Ye Gucheng: "Indeed, but when I drew the sword, I suddenly heard a strange sound of blowing bamboo."

Lu Xiaofeng continued: "Then you saw a little red snake."

Ye Gucheng: "Not bad."

Ximen Chuuxue looked at Lu Xiaofeng: "How do you know?"

Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the cage hanging on Luo Qingning's waist, and said, "We also encountered the same snake."

Luo Qingning took off the cage hanging from her waist and placed it on the table in the inner hall. At this time, the little snake that had been pinched unconscious had woken up, and spit at Luo Qingning.

Luo Qingning stared closely at the little red snake, and said, "This kind of snake has been trained to bite people's necks, and it is extremely poisonous."

Ximen Chuuxue picked up the cage on the table, observed it carefully for a while, then returned to the bed, and said to Ye Gucheng: "The arsenopyrite on your body is not easy to clean up for a while, and I will bring you some ointment some other day."

Ye Gucheng's tone was cold: "No need."

Ximen Chuuxue: "I don't want to take advantage of others' danger. If you don't want me to treat you, then postpone the competition for another month until you recover from your injuries."

Ye Gucheng: "September [-]th, how can we change the date that has already been set?"

Ximen Chuuxue: "Then take good care of your wounds, and I'll come back another day."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked outside the temple.

Seeing that Ximen Chuuxue was about to leave, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Ximen Chuuxue, wait a minute, I still have a lot of questions that I haven't asked you, let's leave after I finish."

'Is Lu Xiaofeng jealous? 'Luo Qingning thought evilly.

"Master Ye has seen someone who blows the bamboo whistle?" Hua Manlou's gentle voice sounded, Luo Qingning came back to his senses, and stared at Ye Gucheng.

Ye Gucheng: "No."

Luo Qingning: "Does the City Lord know where the Prince Nan is?"

Ye Gucheng froze for a moment, and looked at Luo Qingning with a trace of inquisitiveness: "Why are you asking this?"

Luo Qingning: "As far as I know, the person who blows the bamboo whistle is the subordinate of Prince Nan."

Ye Gucheng: "What proof do you have?"

Luo Qingning said with a smile: "It's just an inference. There is no evidence yet, so I'm going to ask Nan Wang's son to verify it."

Ye Gucheng thought for a while and said, "I don't know where he is."

Luo Qingning smiled slightly, and said, "Since City Lord Ye doesn't know, I'll take my leave first, sorry to bother you."

Outside the Gospel Temple, a black shadow rushed towards the direction of the capital, quickly.

Hua Manlou paused, and frowned: "Someone was here just now."

Luo Qingning looked at the startled birds in the sky, and said, "If we don't leave tonight, Prince Nan will definitely do something."
