Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

He said he would leave after the new year, but Gu Shenyan still stayed for a few more days until the Lantern Festival was over, then bid farewell to Zhuge Shenhou and left the capital with the buns.

Then headed north all the way to Wanmei Villa.

He was originally supposed to go back to Jiangnan. Although the small shop has closed, and there is a high probability that it will not reopen in the future, it is the place where he has settled since he came to this world. Before Chunyang was built, he did not Planning to move.

However, the arrival of a letter made Gu Shenyan change his mind.

This letter was written by Lu Xiaofeng, and it was delivered to him through the contacts of the Hua family. The subordinates of the group of Bat Boys who arrived had very limited information, and they had never even seen Bat Boy himself, only met Bat Boy's confidant, a young man code-named Ding Yi.

The two of them asked Hua Manlou for help, and drew a portrait of Ding Yi based on the description of this group of people. They planned to continue to search along this line. It is estimated that no strong clues can be found in a short time, so There is no need to ask Gu Shenyan for help.

At the end of the letter, Lu Xiaofeng also mentioned by the way that he met Ximen Chuuxue near Jiangnan a few days ago, and Ximen Chuuxue asked him about Gu Shenyan's whereabouts, and wanted to ask Gu Shenyan for further advice.

Gu Shenyan thought that it would be fine for him to go back to Jiangnan, and Ximen Chuuxue found himself twice in a row to find time, so he felt embarrassed, so he decided to change the route, and went to Wanmei Villa once, and came to the door in person Go and teach Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship.

He admired Ximen Chuuxue very much, and felt that Ximen Chuuxue was the most talented swordsman he had ever met in this life except Xue Yiren.

And he is still so young, with a promising future, maybe one day he will reach the top.

Just for this point, Gu Shenyan would point out Ximen Chuuxue without reservation.

It's really a pity because I can't find a suitable opponent...

Of course, besides this, Gu Shenyan still had some indescribable thoughts.

He wanted to recruit some talents for Chunyang Palace.

And Ximen Chuuxue was undoubtedly the most suitable one.

Most of the young swordsmen in today's Jianghu have excellent swordsmanship and come from famous schools. The possibility of switching to Chunyang is really too small, and Gu Shenyan can't do anything like digging a wall, so he can only start from Looking among people with no background or affiliation, Ximen Chuuxue doesn't meet this requirement!

It's not suitable to accept apprentices, but it's not bad to be a guest elder.

Ahem, as long as the conditions he offers are attractive enough, such as the daily sparring with the great master, maybe Ximen Chuuxue will agree?

With this thought in mind, Gu Shenyan knocked on the door of Wanmei Villa with a smile on his face.

"May I ask your Excellency—"

When the attendant who opened the door saw a strange face outside the door, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself. Although his attitude was not enthusiastic, it was also very polite.

Gu Shenyan said with a smile: "I made an appointment with the owner of Ximen Village before, and I came here today to keep the appointment. Please pass it on for me, and say yes, Boss Gu from the suburbs of Jiangnan is here."

The attendant nodded slightly, politely asked him to wait outside the door for a while, then turned and walked towards the villa.

Gu Shenyan guessed that it would take a while to hear back, so he took advantage of the gap to enjoy the scenery.

At the beginning of March, it is the time when plum blossoms are in full bloom. The hillside outside Wanmei Villa is full of plum blossoms. There are white plums that are as white as snow and flawless, and the quiet and elegant fragrance of flowers drifts with the wind. Walking in the mountains and fields is refreshing.

Such a beautiful scenery is really intoxicating.

But Baozi standing aside was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery.

He turned to the back of the door and saw that the other attendants were far away, so he tugged at Gu Shenyan's sleeve and whispered, "Boss, Boss, I heard that the snow blower at Ximen is very fierce, and he draws his sword every now and then. Killing, is this true?"

Gu Shenyan laughed suddenly: "Where did you hear these rumors? The master of Ximen Village is really such a vicious person, how could he become friends with Lu Xiaofeng?"

Baozi blinked, and said hesitantly: "But... Lu Xiaofeng also said that Ximen Chuuxue has an ice face, and every time he goes out, he just wants to kill people."

"Uh--"

Gu Shenyan turned his head to look at the white-clothed swordsman walking from the villa, and silently lit a candle for Lu Xiaofeng in his heart.

Talking bad about people behind their backs will surely lead to retribution.

May you be blessed, Lu Xiaofeng.

"Ah!"

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his nose, and muttered in a muffled voice: "Why are you sneezing all the time today, I must have caught a cold?"

Not far away, Sikong Zaixing, who was lying on the window watching, couldn't help teasing: "Maybe some of your confidante is talking about you behind your back, but you haven't been in a romantic relationship for a few months, Jiang Hu Recently, there have been rumors that Lu Xiaofeng's prodigal son has returned to cleanse himself."

Sikong Zhaixing almost died laughing when he heard the rumor.The adjective clean and self-sufficient can be used on Lu Xiaofeng one day, this is too outrageous!

Lu Xiaofeng was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and scolded Sikong Zhaoxing for having no conscience.

If it wasn't for helping this guy out of trouble, wouldn't he be so busy that he wouldn't even have time to go to the brothel to have a good time?For four or five months, he hasn't eaten meat for a full four or five months!If I continue like this, I can really shave my head and become a monk!

Sikong Zhaixing curled his lips, expressing that he would not take the blame.

"You were clearly frightened by Chu Liuxiang's lessons learned from the past. You were afraid that you would follow in the footsteps and be laughed at by the whole world, so you used me as an excuse to avoid trouble... If you really think about it, I'm the one How about a shield to be used?"

The "entanglement" between Chu Liuxiang and Su Rongrong's three daughters has not yet come to an end, after this period of fermentation, it even intensified.

Perhaps Su Rongrong and the others were really heartbroken by Chu Liuxiang and wanted to make a clean break with him, or maybe they wanted to take this opportunity to teach Chu Liuxiang a lesson, so no matter how hard Chu Liuxiang tried to speak, they would not forgive him, nor would they Willing to go back to that boat, the four of them chased each other and ran away, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knew about it, and there were rumors that Chu Liuxiang overturned the crematorium everywhere.

Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing tracked down to Lingnan last month, and happened to meet Su Rongrong's three daughters nearby, and Chu Liuxiang who ran after Su Rongrong's three daughters, just watched the live version of "The Infatuated Woman Suddenly Woke Up and Swears" Scumbag's excitement.

Maybe things hurt his kind, Lu Xiaofeng even came forward to say a few good things for Chu Liuxiang at that time.

The result was good, he was caught and scolded by Su Rongrong and the three daughters, saying that he and Chu Liuxiang were of the same breed, bastards who played with women's feelings, Chu Liuxiang's today is Lu Xiaofeng's tomorrow, and sooner or later he will suffer retribution .

It scared Lu Xiaofeng so much that he didn't even dare to say anything, he could only convey comfort to Chu Liuxiang with his eyes, the original plan to find a brothel for two days of fun was also cancelled, so he honestly followed Sikong Zaixing and began to investigate Clues, work efficiency has been greatly improved.

In the Lingnan coastal area, there are more than a dozen large and small docks. It is impossible for Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing to monitor every one of them, so they can only find ways to narrow the target range.

But this is easy to say, but very troublesome to do.

Although there is a portrait in hand, in order not to startle the snake, he can only keep a low profile and ask someone in private. Going out... It will definitely take a lot of time and energy to check out more than a dozen piers one by one.

It was originally estimated that it would take two months to investigate clearly, so Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing rushed over as early as February.

There was plenty of time, Lu Xiaofeng originally thought that he could be lazy once in a while and have some fun, but this happened again...

He was afraid that his confidantes would come to join in the fun after receiving the news, making him another joke after Chu Liuxiang, how dare he show his face.

He definitely couldn't go to the brothel, even his iconic red cloak, he didn't dare to wear it again during this period of time.

At the beginning, Sikong Zhaixing laughed at Lu Xiaofeng for thinking too much, how could the matter be so serious, but it didn't take long, and a few girls really came over together.

There is no doubt that these girls are all Lu Xiaofeng's confidante.

The one who started it was Xue Bing, the well-known eldest lady of Shenzhen Villa.

Xue Bing has a hot temper and is known as a tigress in the Jianghu. At first, in order to force Lu Xiaofeng to marry him, he even said that he wanted to use martial arts to recruit relatives... Although in the end, he was coaxed by Lu Xiaofeng's sweet words and changed his mind, and finally let it go. But how fierce this girl is can be seen from this incident.

Lu Xiaofeng thought with his toes, and he could think of the purpose of Xue Bing's visit this time.

It's not that I want to force the marriage, but I just want to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

As the saying goes, when faced with a problem that cannot be solved, one should admit that one has to admit one’s weakness—so Lu Xiaofeng simply and neatly chose to avoid it.

He hid himself like a tortoise, and he didn't show his face during this time, so he couldn't be found, so naturally there was no trouble.

But Lu Xiaofeng is also a person who can't take time off, if he was asked to stay in the house all day and do nothing, he might be driven crazy, so in order to pass the time, he simply put all his energy on his business.

Bat Island is open twice a year, in May in the first half of the year and in October in the second half of the year, and the time and location of each departure are not fixed. In order to narrow the scope of surveillance, during this period, Sikong Zhaixing He was in charge of going out to find people for inquiries, while Lu Xiaofeng was behind the scenes analyzing clues and summarizing the rules.

After such a lot of tossing, the goal that was originally expected to take two months to complete was shortened to one month.

If there is no mistake, the pier they are monitoring now is the place where Bat Island must pass to load goods and guests this time.

Sikong Zhaixing turned into a businessman and rented a small yard nearby. There is a small two-story attic in the backyard. The windows of the attic are facing the direction of the pier, so you can have a panoramic view of the boats coming and going on the pier.

He and Lu Xiaofeng took turns to keep an eye on him every day.

As long as that Ding Yiyi shows up, they can accurately lock the ship belonging to Bat Island.

At that time, it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to get an invitation letter, or directly replace other guests.
