Sword God is hard to catch

Chapter 26 Friends Gathering

Silver is a magical thing.

It can protect people from childhood, depend on their old age, feel comfortable, and live a comfortable life... It has so many innumerable benefits that it has always been the constant pursuit of people throughout the ages. Countless people flock to it, even He does not hesitate to fight against husband and wife, brother over the wall, and father and son become enemies.

Tan Ni has always understood this very clearly. At least [-]% of the crimes in the world are for it.

So, when she saw Aunt Thirteen stabbing Li Yanbei's chest viciously with a knife in her face, she was not surprised by the thrilling scene of murdering her husband.

Li Yanbei's bet, she knew, was a gamble where the winner was the king and the loser, with no way out.Aunt Thirteen was just one of the 29 women in Li Yanbei, and she spent [-] nights a month alone. She had to consider the consequences of Li Yanbei's defeat, for herself.

She is obviously not a woman who can share joys and sorrows, but also a woman who is unwilling to be lonely.

But Qin Ni did not expect that things were not so simple.

1905 taels of silver.

In the eyes of Qin Ni, who earns 2 taels of silver a month, is still burdened with a "mortgage loan" of nearly a hundred taels, and owes the house fee of 4 taels of silver for this accidental business trip, it is like seeing the People's Bank of China .

Ouyang Qing was still sleeping, but Li Yanbei was already awake.

They can still sleep and wake up panting, I have to say, thanks to Ximen Chuuxue.

While thinking about the possibility of persuading the white-clothed killer to change his career to become a white-clothed angel, Qin Ni sent Aunt Thirteen, who wanted to eat delicacies from mountains and seas for the rest of her life, to the yamen to eat in prison.

Li Yanbei has already transferred the territory to Gu Qingfeng, a Taoist priest.

Tan Ni suddenly felt that he should meet Gu Qingfeng, um, and Du Tongxuan.

Just do it when she thinks about it, Tan Ni made the decision when she walked out of the yamen, but what she didn't expect was that she didn't make it.

In front of the yamen, a quietly standing figure blocked her footsteps——

The building is full of flowers.

A person who is expected but also unexpected.

Huamanlou never went back to Baihualou, she knew that he went to Zijin Mountain at that time.But she didn't find him after she came to the capital, she thought he didn't come.But now he appeared in front of her again.And he was still waiting for her in front of the yamen, as if he knew where she was all along.

Under the green maple tree, the sun was dizzy, and the autumn wind was blowing. Hua Manlou's clothes were a little thin, and he looked a little lonely, but he was still smiling.Hua Manlou's smile is always warm, even in the cold winter, just seeing his smile will feel the warmth of spring breeze.

"I'm lost." Hua Manlou smiled quietly.

Tan Ni looked at him quietly, she keenly noticed that there was something strange about Hua Manlou's smile, but she couldn't say anything, and when she wanted to distinguish carefully, the strangeness disappeared again.

Tan Ni held Hua Manlou's hand, and her voice was filled with obvious pleasure, "I'm very glad to meet you."

Hua Manlou seemed surprised for a moment, but she didn't take back her hand, she nodded quietly and said with a smile, "Me too."

Tan Ni suddenly remembered that there was no handshake etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, she let go of Hua Manlou's hand, looked at him calmly, and said, "Maybe Lu Xiaofeng has returned to Li Yanbei's mansion, Ximen Chuuxue is also there, let's go .”

Hua Manlou nodded.

He didn't mention getting lost again, Tan Ni didn't ask, she didn't even ask where he was these days.Huamanlou is a blind man, getting lost should not be a strange thing for a blind man, but when the blind man is Huamanlou, it will become particularly strange.Especially when you get lost, you can still get a general idea of ​​what happened in the capital, which is even more strange.

But Tan Ni didn't ask, she knew that as long as Hua Manlou wanted to say something, he would say it.

"Tomorrow is September [-]th." Hua Manlou said suddenly.

Qin Ni didn't speak.

Hua Manlou sighed and said, "Even you can't stop them?"

Tan Ni was silent for a while, and said, "I have already stopped it."

Hua Manlou didn't speak anymore, they were walking towards Li Yanbei's mansion, the silence lasted for a long time, Hua Manlou suddenly said: "I saw Sun Xiuqing."

Qin Ni was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Where is it?"

Huamanlou said: "The place where I got lost."

Tan Ni pondered, she suddenly thought of Shi Xiuxue, the girl who staggered and cried and questioned her, before she knew it, she asked, "Where is Shi Xiuxue?"

An indescribable sadness and sadness appeared on Huamanlou's face.

Tan Ni understood. She lowered her eyes and asked calmly, "Shangguan Feiyan killed her in the end?"

Unexpectedly, Hua Manlou said, "It's not Shangguan Feiyan. It's not Huo Xiu."

Qin Ni was taken aback, "Who is it?"

The sadness appeared on Hua Manlou's face again, and his voice seemed to come from a distant mountain, with an ethereal and oppressive voice, "It's Sun Xiuqing." He said lightly, his pupils without focal length seemed to be looking faintly into the distance , just like his mood that he couldn't land safely.

Tan Ni's figure suddenly stopped, and he turned to look at him, his calm voice was a bit stunned, but also a bit indescribably heavy, "Sun Xiuqing?"

Hua Manlou didn't speak, the autumn wind blew up a corner of his clothes and Tan Ni's black hair, they stood quietly, the silence spread again, but it was not as heavy and depressing as before.

"For a sword." After a long time, Hua Manlou said softly, "For 1905 million taels of silver, Thirteenth Aunt murdered her husband. For a peerless sword and a peerless sword manual, Sun Xiuqing killed her junior sister. The world values ​​profit over profit. Righteousness, why is desire so big and so heavy that it devours people's hearts?"

Tan Ni was silent for a long time before she slowly said: "Sun Xiuqing doesn't seem like such a good swordsman."

Hua Manlou said: "She wasn't originally. But now she is."

Tan Ni didn't ask Hua Manlou why, maybe Hua Manlou knew, or maybe he didn't know, what does it matter?The world is full of desires, and desires seduce people's hearts. People will always change. As for which direction they will change, maybe even the people who change don't know.

The only thing that can be known is that Shi Xiuxue, who lied to save her senior sister and grieved for her master's death, is dead, and died by her own senior sister's sword.

As for Tan Ni herself, she had already begun to reconsider knocking Ximen Chuuxue unconscious.

"Hua Man Lou?" As expected, Lu Xiaofeng was already in Li Yanbei's mansion. His eyes widened in surprise, he rushed out in a few steps, jumped in front of Hua Man Lou, and punched him on the shoulder, "Good boy, you Where did you go? No one is anywhere."

Hua Manlou shook his head, with a smile on his face, it could be seen that the joy of seeing his friend had diluted the sadness in his heart, but he said: "Lu Xiaofeng, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are still such a bastard."

Lu Xiaofeng put his arms around his shoulders and laughed loudly, but he didn't notice that Hua Manlou seemed to stiffen slightly, but he soon returned to his usual spontaneity.

Tan Ni, who was ignored by Lu Xiaoji, turned his eyes and saw the situation inside the house. Ouyang Qing had already woken up, sitting on the bed, leaning against the head of the bed, her face was still a little pale, the quilt covered her waist, but her expression was cold of.

It seems that not only seeing Ximen Chuixue and Huamanlou, but also the reason why Lu Xiaofeng, who has always been depressed, laughed heartily.

Tan Ni turned his gaze to Ximen Chuuxue, blinked twice, and then retracted.

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at her unexpectedly, and before she could study the meaning of those eyes, an elegant and gentle voice sounded beside her, "Master Ximen."

Ximen Chuuxue turned his head and nodded lightly, "The building is full of flowers."

Li Yanbei is obviously also very happy. His land has been sold to Gu Qingfeng for 1905 million taels of silver. His courage to live.

Just like what Lu Xiaofeng told him before, he still has 1905 million taels of silver. Compared with only two taels of silver a month, he owes Huamanlou 100 taels of housing debt, which will take ten years to pay off. The poor little catcher who even lives in an inn is counted on Ye Gucheng's head, what else is he not satisfied with?

People who can go out on their feet, eat by rubbing, and can owe debts of 100 taels "all over the world" can jump happily in the capital, a place grasped by nobles, grandchildren, rich and wealthy, why should he be depressed and lonely?

Li Yanbei glanced at the expressionless and unaware Inspector Tan with great admiration, and raised his glass, "Come on, let's have a toast. Gather friends, reunite after a long absence, and escape from death."

Ximen Chuuxue doesn't drink alcohol. Although Qin Ni usually doesn't deliberately refuse, he doesn't drink at all during missions.Only Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Ouyang Qing responded.

Lu Xiaofeng was the most excited one, even though he still had a lot of things to do, for example, to catch the honest monk's pigtails and his "White Sox" organization.But it is still the same as his previous style, drinking is like pouring wine, after finishing a glass of wine, before Li Yanbei pours again, he has already done it himself.

Obviously, he was really happy.

Hua Man Lou drank slowly, more like tasting.He always had a smile on his face, and he could see that he was in a happy mood, but this joy always seemed to be covered with something unspeakable from time to time.It passed so quickly, but it still made Tan Ni realize that there was something on his mind.

Ouyang Qing's poison has been cleared, but her body is still a little weak. Although she drank a drink, she didn't refill it.She already knew about Thirteenth Aunt. She and Thirteenth Aunt were friends. When they found out about this, they were not surprised or sad, they were always indifferent.

Perhaps, it is precisely because she is a friend that she understands Aunt Thirteen better.

The food and drink are quite plentiful, although there is no Thirteenth Aunt, there are still servants in the mansion.

Hua Manlou did not bring up the matter of Shi Xiuxue and Sun Xiuqing again.But when Lu Xiaofeng asked him about his experiences these days, he always avoided the topic imperceptibly.

Lu Xiaofeng is sometimes very careless, but he is more careful.He had already sensed that Hua Manlou had something on his mind, perhaps everyone present had sensed it, so no one asked Hua Manlou about "getting lost".

Others are already here, safe and secure, and that is enough.

Ouyang Qing didn't know the reason why she was plotted against. A brothel is a place where people talk a lot. Even if you see something that others don't want you to know, you may not be aware of it.

Lu Xiaofeng was very depressed, perhaps not only because of Ouyang Qing's answer, but also because of Ouyang Qing's attitude.Aunt Thirteen said that Ouyang Qing liked him, but now, he only feels that
