When they brought Sima Ziyushang's dead body to Fengyue Inn, Lu Xiaofeng did not ignore the flash of regret in Sima Ziqin's eyes.

But that was only a short moment, and it soon turned into a deep meditation.

The disciples of Sima's family had crowded the first floor of the inn, some of them were in tears, and some of them were angrily trying to find out who killed Sima Ziyu.

The atmosphere seemed difficult to relax for a while, Hua Manlou sighed and said to Sima Ziqin, "I just came here today, I didn't expect Miss Sima to encounter misfortune in just one night, Brother Sima still needs to express my condolences."

Sima Ziqin looked at Sima Ziyu's body, shook her head after a while and said, "She has broken 42 meridians all over her body. It's not because of misfortune, but because of her own misfortune."

He paused again, "This is a forbidden technique of our Sima family. It seems to be beneficial, but it is actually mortgaged by life."

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said from the side, "But she didn't look like her martial arts surged at that time, but she looked like she had been poisoned by some kind of medicine that made her whole body stiff."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look into Sima Ziqin's eyes and said seriously, "Mr. Sima, does the Sima family have this kind of medicine?"

After Lu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he didn't miss the wonderful expressions on the faces of several Sima disciples in the hall, he smiled, turned his head and stopped talking.

Sima Ziqin's face seemed to be a little stiff, and the seriousness in his eyes suddenly became colder. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng like a sneer, "Could it be that Hero Lu doubts my own disciple?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly said as if frightened, "No, no, no." He spread his hands again, "I just want to say that I don't have this kind of medicine."

He also smiled and pointed at Hua Manlou, "Besides, I know he doesn't either."

Sima Ziqin's face softened slightly, "The Hua family and the Sima family have always been friends, so I certainly believe that it has nothing to do with Hua Gongzi."

Then, Sima Ziqin made a sad expression again, "Today's matter, please both of you, I will thank you in advance on behalf of my father. It's just that my father doesn't know whether he can bear this accident, hey."

After Sima Ziqin sighed, she sighed again and again, so that Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had to stand up and say goodbye.

Hua Manlou exchanged pleasantries with Sima Ziqin again and again, Lu Xiaofeng had already stepped out of the inn with one foot, but suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Sima."

There were tears in Sima Ziqin's eyes from sadness, but she looked at him coldly.

"I don't know what the name of the entourage who followed you in Chunhua Building that day was?"

Sima Ziqin squinted, "His name is Tang Si."

"Good name," Lu Xiaofeng repeated, and looked around again, "Why didn't I see him?"

Sima Ziqin lowered her head and flicked her sleeves, and said calmly, "He has caught a cold recently, I sent him to the medical clinic, and I can't see any customers for the time being."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "Mr. Sima is really kind, he is so considerate to his servants."

After speaking, he took the other leg, walked quickly a few times, and followed Hua Manlou's footsteps.

When walking along the wide avenue in the west of the city all the way to the city, it was almost dawn.

They gradually walked from the dark night to the dawn, from the quiet streets and alleys to the bustling downtown, until they became the first pair of diners after the opening of Chunhua Building that day.

The sky to the east of the capital began to show fish-belly white, mixed with a faint golden-red halo, just like the seductive oily light under the fried small yellow croakers when making porridge in the morning.

Lu Xiaofeng stood beside the wooden railing on the balcony on the third floor of Chunhua Building, looking at the city that was gradually filled with smoke and vitality, a faint smile crept onto his face.

He turned his head, only to find that the expression on Hua Manlou's face was exactly the same as his own.

"Do you know that every time I find something very happy and happy, you always find it before me, and it seems to have been discovered for a long time."

Hua Manlou smiled, "For example?"

Lu Xiaofeng sat back in his seat, also smiled and raised the bowl of steaming bean juice on the table, but did not answer Hua Manlou's question.

Such a noisy and beautiful city.

Another example is every morning spent like this.

The early morning is gradually becoming more lively, and every shop is constantly welcoming new and old customers.

Chunhua Building is located at the central confluence of a lively herringbone street in the very center of the capital, and it has always been full of people and traffic.

But no matter how lively a place is, you still have to leave after eating.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had stepped over the threshold of Chunhua Building, and they had to stop in unison.

Not only them, everyone on the street stopped suddenly.

After a while, the crowd started to scatter in all directions like frightened ducks, which suddenly turned the harmonious downtown into a chaotic one.

The sound of three neighing steeds was resounding through the air of the street through the comfort of the morning. They passed through the panicked crowd all the way, and came running from all sides of the herringbone street. hooves stop.

Everyone was surprised to see the three horses breaking into the busy city, and screamed again and again.

Because these three horses definitely seemed to be on the backs of top-notch horses, and they were also carrying three people facing up to the sky, as if they deliberately exposed three obvious wounds on their necks.

Each of these three looks like a well-known celebrity.They also have one characteristic in common—they are all dead at this moment.

The expression on Lu Xiaofeng's face was also very dull, similar to that of most people on the street. He turned his face, and was puzzled by Huamanlou who had some unknown circumstances. A person, just appeared on the street ahead."

These three corpses were obviously Master Kongzhi from Shaolin Temple, Master Song from Wudang School, and Shitai Jingxu from Emei School.

Hua Manlou asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, he once told Ximen Chuixue that with these three people and Feng Zhentian from Huashan School, there are probably very few people who don't know each other in Jianghu.

Now the quacks on this street and surrounding restaurants probably all recognized him.

But he himself suddenly didn't know if he recognized them, because the three corpses that had been dead for at least a month were so lifelike, as if they had just died.

"Sure, but..."

He was just halfway through speaking when another group of people suddenly came from the street on the right. The leader was a man in brocade clothes and a splendid belt. He was very imposing, but he walked a little flustered. It was Yin Xian, the commander of Ouchi's guards.

Although he is not on duty today, he always likes to walk around the capital.

As soon as he led the team out of the gate of the Forbidden City, he heard that Chunhua Building not far away was only two blocks away from the first building, which was only one street away from the Imperial Palace. important treat.

As soon as Yin Xian came over, he saw Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou standing in front of Chunhualou.

He frowned, waved his hand, and signaled his men to surround the three horses, but he walked aside.

Seeing Yin Xian walking towards them, Lu Xiaofeng spoke first, "Why do I look at you as I am a wanted criminal who killed someone and was about to be caught?"

Only then did Yin Xian ease his expression, and then smiled, "I originally thought so, but seeing Playboy with you, I had no choice but to dismiss this stupid idea in time."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed loudly, turned his head and cupped his hands at Hua Manlou, "In that case, I would like to thank Mr. Hua for sticking around all night."

Hua Manlou knocked off his clasped hands, "Hero Lu is too polite."

Yin Xian endured the words before saying, "Where did you go last night?"

Lu Xiaofeng put his palms together and laughed, "Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it."

Yin Xian looked at Huamanlou again, Huamanlou smiled and didn't answer.

Yin Xian looked at them, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"

Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands and said, "Everyone on this street can testify, I'm as ignorant as they are."

Just as Yin Xian was about to say something else, a person suddenly stepped out from the crowd and said loudly, "Wait!"

Yue Qingsong came out and hurried towards the guards who were about to lead the horse away.

The guards didn't know the head of the Huashan faction in the current sense, they just thought he was some kind of Jiang Hu disturbing the tolerance, and all brandished their knives to stop him.

But they didn't recognize him, but Yin Xian did. He waved his hand to signal for this person to pass, and he himself followed.

Yue Qingsong walked towards the three corpses, looked in front of each corpse separately, the expression on his face was very serious.

After a while, he frowned.

Yin Xian couldn't help asking him, "What did you see?"

Yue Qingsong sighed, then suddenly turned his head and said to Lu Xiaofeng not far away, "Now, I finally believe that Ximen Chuuxue is not the murderer of my senior brother."

Lu Xiaofeng came over after hearing the words.

Yue Qingsong sighed, "Because now I feel that killing so many famous people and showing off like this is really not a very fun thing."

Exposing the corpses of the seniors of the various sects on the street is not just for showing off, but also for fear that no one will chase and kill him.

"And," he paused, and finally admitted, "It is absolutely impossible for a person who can practice Ximen Chuuxue's swordsmanship to be so boring."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and comforted him, "I don't know if people from Shaolin Wudang and Emei think so."

Yin Xian looked at them, as if in a daze, and said, "I just saw the wounds on their necks, and thought that only Ximen Chuuxue could kill the three of them like this. Since you said no, then do you know who the murderer is?"

Yue Qingsong, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou shook their heads in unison.

Yin Xian felt that he was about to lose his temper, so he waved his hand impatiently, "Then please make way."

Yue Qingsong asked suspiciously, "You want to take them away?"

Yin Xian said helplessly, "Although the person who died was from the Jianghu, this is the capital city. After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the corpse cannot be left just like this. We will keep it, and wait for various sects to claim it."

Yue Qingsong nodded, then walked out of the crowd sighing all the way.

Of course Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had no objection, but they couldn't say anything about things that others didn't know.

If they said so, people would only be more suspicious of Ximen Chuuxue.

Yin Xian took the men and horses and the three corpses away, Hua Manlou did not say to Lu Xiaofeng until they were far away, "Do you know why their corpses are still so fresh after being dead for so long?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him in surprise, "I thought of this just now, do you know?"

"I don't know either," Hua Manlou shook his head, "but I touched the body of one of them just now and found that their body temperature was not normal."

Lu Xiaofeng grinned, "Dead people still have body temperature?"

Hua Manlou nodded and said, "Of course a dead person has no body temperature, but a frozen corpse has a chill."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, puzzled, "Why didn't I feel it?"

Huaman corridor, "You are too far away, the cold is not too strong, and judging from the condition of the corpse, the method of preservation should not be limited to freezing."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It's really well-intentioned to save the three corpses so painstakingly."

Hua Manlou asked him, "Have you already guessed the reason?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, "I don't know what happened, all I know is that Ximen Chuuxue can't leave."
