[Lu Xiaofeng] Hidden Forest of Flowers and Leaves

When Jiang Donglin said this, there was a moment of silence.Everyone's expressions changed in an instant.

Lu Xiaofeng asked nervously: "How do you know?"

Jiang Donglin chuckled a few times: "Have you forgotten what you just said? In order to prevent this little brother from going to Jinling Township, our beggar gang paid a lot of money."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The Hua family has always been kind to the beggar gang."

Jiang Donglin said: "But that doesn't have to be the justice of the rivers and lakes in some people's minds."

The so-called justice is to eradicate evil.Even if this evil is only a slight possibility.

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head repeatedly.

Han Yexin, who was lying in Huamanlou's arms, opened his eyes at this moment, and said to Huamanlou, "Qitong, are they saying that Qingyilou lit my lamp?"

Hua Manlou suddenly hugged him tightly, her fingers turned white with force, but what she revealed was his helplessness.

He lowered his head: "It's okay, I'm here for everything."

Han Yexin stretched out his hand with a smile, and patted Huamanlou: "Well, nothing will happen."

There are many, many legends about Tsing Yi Building in the rivers and lakes.But where Tsing Yi Building is, who is there, and what are they doing, no one knows.No one even knows whether Tsing Yi Building is a building or not.

What outsiders know about Tsing Yi Building is that it has a killer organization.

This killer organization is mixed, they may be professional, and they may have other identities.However, as long as you send the name of the person you want to kill along with the price offered by Tsing Yi Building, there is no one they cannot kill.

Legend has it that the Tsing Yi Building has never failed.

There are only two possibilities for Tsing Yi Lou to stop.

One, the target is killed.Since the person to be killed was already dead, he naturally stopped.

The other is that the client dies.Once the client dies, no matter whether you only paid the deposit or the full amount, the killer can get the money, and there is no need to continue the task.

If you want to complete this task, you must immediately notify the killer that the commission has been inherited.You become the new client and inherit the rights of the client to restart the task.

But this is rarely the case.Because killing is a secret after all, and the person who invited Tsing Yi Lou to kill is a secret among secrets.Moreover, when the client dies, there may not be an heir present.

People have misfortunes and blessings.The rivers and lakes are always full of secrets and assassinations.So some clients came up with the idea of ​​"lighting the lamp" in order not to let any accident interrupt the assassination.

Those who are "lit" in Tsing Yi Building mean that no matter what happens, even if the client dies, this task must continue.

Of course, the price tag for "lighting a lamp" is also very high, so high that few people would light this lamp.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I didn't expect your beggar gang to be so rich. Since you have so much money, why bother with a child? You know, this child has never had any ambitions, and he is already unlucky enough."

Jiang Donglin shook his head and smiled and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, what's the use of telling me this?" He glanced at Han Yexin and said again: "If I were him, I might as well eat and drink, get drunk, and sleep with him A few beauties, who knows when those killers will come?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head again and again: "Vulgar, vulgar! But how do you know about this?"

Although Jiang Donglin is the proud disciple of the elder of the Beggar Gang, but his status in the Beggar Gang is not high. How did he know about such a confidential matter?

In fact, Lu Xiaofeng didn't doubt it, because Jiang Donglin had absolutely no need to lie to them.However, how Jiang Donglin got the news about Tsing Yi Building is still very curious.

Jiang Donglin snorted coldly: "You don't have to provoke me. If you really don't believe me, just go and see for yourself."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him curiously: "Do you know where Tsing Yi Building is?"

Jiang Donglin sneered again: "You think I don't know?"

Lu Xiaofeng was startled, his face was full of astonishment: "So that's how it is!"

Sikong Zhaixing looked around and said, "Lu Xiaofeng, what charades are you playing?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Sikong Zhaixing, don't you understand? He..." He pointed at Jiang Donglin, still speechless in shock.

When Han Yexin heard this, he whispered to Huamanlou, "This Jiang Donglin is from Qingyilou."

Hua Manlou was also surprised: "Oh?"

"He just told me that if he met me earlier, he might take me in as an apprentice. He didn't understand what it meant, but now he understands: he thinks I have the potential to be a killer, and he himself is the killer of Tsing Yi Building."

Hua Manlou nodded lightly.

Sikong Zhaixing suddenly realized, jumped up and said: "I can't think of it! The seven-bag disciple of the majestic Beggar Gang is actually the killer of Tsingyi Building!"

Jiang Donglin snorted coldly: "I'm afraid there are many more that you can't think of."

Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "In that case, you must know where Qingyi Building is?"

Jiang Donglin said: "If I tell you, can you let me go?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This deal is very good."

Jiang Donglin nodded: "I also think it's a good deal. I want the Hua family not to pursue this matter again."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou gently rubbed Han Yexin's head, and nodded upon hearing this.Although he hated the person who shot Han Yexin, it doesn't matter now.

Jiang Donglin was very satisfied, and he said: "It's okay for me to take you there. But I advise you to go there in a different way. Otherwise, I'm afraid that once you take one step there, you won't be able to take the second step."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me. You don't need to worry about this."

Sikong Zhaixing patted his chest: "It's all on me."

Because there were people coming and going on the post road not far from the Pear Blossom Forest, in order to avoid trouble, everyone tidied up a little and continued on the road.Jiang Donglin and Lu Xiaofeng rode on the same horse, and they traveled honestly, without causing any trouble.According to Jiang Donglin, Tsing Yi Building holds a meeting on the first day of every month, and the meeting place this time is in a town in front of it.

It turned out that quite a few killers from Tsing Yi Building already knew their whereabouts and were waiting there.

On the way, Sikong Zaixing found a secluded place and put makeup on several people.Han Yexin and Hua Manlou were disguised as an old couple, with wrinkled faces and hunched backs, and they couldn't see the shadow of before.

Hurry up, after sunset that day, everyone came to this small town.

Several people disguised themselves as a family and found an inn to stay.Lu Xiaofeng went out to inquire about the news, and came back after a while, sighed, and drank a bowl of tea: "It turns out that this matter is no longer a secret. In the past few days, many martial arts people have come here for tomorrow night The gathering. The participants will wear masks and exchange various news at this meeting. There should be people from Tsing Yi Lou.”

Jiang Donglin had an expression of "I said it earlier".

Hua Manlou said: "This meeting, no matter what, we must go and have a look."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and took a look at Jiang Donglin: "It's just that if someone calls out our identities, it will be troublesome."

When the time comes, all the killers will stare at Han Yexin, and the consequences can be imagined.

Jiang Donglin smiled and said: "If you are worried, you can leave my acupuncture points here. Anyway, I am not interested in those in Qingyi Building."

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand like lightning, touched one of Jiang Donglin's acupuncture points, and said: "Then respect is worse than obedience."

Jiang Donglin's eyes widened, his body stiffened, and he couldn't move.

Lu Xiaofeng moved Jiang Donglin to the bed, clapped his hands and said, "Go to bed early today. I'll take care of this man."

Several people divided the room and went to rest.In the middle of the night, Han Yexin and Huamanlou were suddenly woken up by Lu Xiaofeng.I saw Lu Xiaofeng raised a finger to his lips: "Hush, be soft."

Seeing his mysterious appearance, the two quickly put on their clothes lightly, opened the window and jumped down without leaving the door.

Sikong Zhaixing had been waiting below.

In the night when you can't see your fingers, when everyone's eyes have adapted to the darkness, they use their lightness skills and start running wildly.After leaving the town, Lu Xiaofeng, who was the leader, stopped.

"Lu Xiaofeng, what's the matter?" Han Yexin asked.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Actually, according to the news I got, there will indeed be a gathering tomorrow, but they are all Jianghu people who come to join in the fun. The real Qingyilou gathering is tonight."

He looked up at the sky.Thirty night, not even a shred of moonlight.

It's a gloomy day.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The time is coming soon." As he spoke, he took out a few masks for everyone to wear.

Sikong Zhaixing said: "Lu Xiaofeng, you have to trust me, as long as it is my face, I guarantee that no one will recognize it."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This is their rule, you must wear a mask."

Each of the masks is carved with fine carvings and exquisite patterns. If a Mr. Pianpian wears it on his face, he must be personable and fascinating.But if it is worn by a wrinkled old man, a dwarf who is not tall, or a tall and thick woman, it will look very weird.

However, according to Lu Xiaofeng's words, there are always weird people in this kind of gathering.If you are not a weirdo, people will suspect that you are a complete master, and you will be noticed instead.

Besides, which one will show people their true colors?

They followed Lu Xiaofeng in this dark wilderness with this weird attire.

I don't know how long I walked, and suddenly I saw a fire coming from the front.

The light came from a bonfire lit on the ground.A few people walked into the fire, looked around, and felt that they had come to a weird world.

Everyone is very strange, wearing a mask, walking like no one else.It was rare to see anyone stop and talk, as if no one knew anyone.

It's just that it's not deserted here.

Clusters of bonfires lit up the fields.Masked girls danced around the campfire, twisting their waists like water snakes; several people with their entire faces covered in masks sat in a row, playing musical instruments.

There are barbecues on some fires.The man who roasted the meat drew out his sharp dagger, swung it on his arm first, and then lightly landed on the meat that had been tested.The movement was so gentle that it even had the illusion of gentleness. After a while, the meat fell into the fire one by one, leaving only a complete bone on the shelf.

It's almost like a market place.

No, this is exactly a market.

The most sold and most valuable thing in this market is news.

Lu Xiaofeng disappeared.But Han Yexin and Hua Manlou were not in a hurry to find him.The two walked slowly forward side by side.In this place, there is only excitement and peace, no disputes.If they hadn't known that this was the gathering place of Tsing Yi Building, they might have thought that they just stumbled into some weird market by mistake.

However, the further they went, the fewer bonfires there were.Under the cover of night, the front is even more mysterious.When he finally reached the last bonfire, he was suddenly stopped by someone and could no longer go on.

The person who stopped them was dressed in black and wore a pure black mask.They seemed to be completely absorbed in the night.

They stood side by side in front, blocking all light.

If Hua Manlou hadn't held him back, Han Yexin might have bumped into him directly.

A soft tinkling was heard.

Han Yexin shuddered, and quickly looked around.People around also heard the ringtone.Dancing, playing, barbecue... No matter what he was doing, as long as he heard the ringing of the bell, they all fell silent for an instant.

Only the crackling of the bonfire was heard.

These people did not say a word, and silently surrounded them.

They walked to the front of the row of men in black, silently craned their necks and looked inside.

what is inside?

The hands Han Yexin and Hua Manlou were holding couldn't help but tighten even more.

It took a long time for the second bell to ring.

At this time, almost all the people gathered together, looking intently at the deepest place in the darkness.

On the field crowded with all kinds of strange people, only the sound of the bonfire burning behind him and the sound of everyone breathing can be heard.

I saw a ray of red light gradually rising from the darkness behind the man in black.

When the red light rose higher and higher, Han Yexin realized that it was a small, red lantern.

Lanterns are tied to a string.Rather than saying that he was raised, it is better to say that he was lifted up by someone grabbing the two ends of the thread.

The lantern rose for a while and then stopped.For some reason, everyone around let out a disappointed sigh.

Then another lantern was raised.

Many station lanterns were raised.

They are intertwined with each other and are of different heights.And Han Yexin finally realized that the higher the lantern was raised, the louder the exclamation of the people around would be.

The sky gradually turned pale.From nowhere came a rooster crowing.

The people around gradually couldn't hold back and began to discuss in a low voice.

"The last one. As soon as the rooster crows, the last one will be raised."

"Yeah, I don't know which unlucky ghost it is."

"Shh!"

Han Yexin was suddenly very nervous.He seems to already know the answer.Among the gradually rising lanterns, this rectangular bamboo nameplate is hung under each lantern.The words in twos and threes are written on the sign.For his purpose, he was able to see that what hung under the nearest lantern was a name.

This is what Jiang Donglin called "lighting a lamp".

And under the tallest lamp, isn't that his name?

He swallowed nervously, and felt Hua Manlou suddenly hold his hand tightly.
