[Lu Xiaofeng] Beside the flowers and the willows

Sword fairy

Leisurely time seems to always go by so fast, just when Huamanlou and Liu Moguizheng spent the first month of marriage sweetly, there is a new turmoil in the world - a embroidered thief suddenly... He appeared out of nowhere in Jianghu, and with him alone, within a month, he had committed sixty or seventy major cases, stabbed dozens of people blind, and stole eighteen Dendrobiums from the Nanwang Mansion. Pearl, 80 taels of dart silver from Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, 9 taels of gold leaf from Jinsha River...

The newlywed Hua Manlou has seldom cared about the affairs of Jianghu for more than a month. When he found out about it, it was already mid-July. However, Jin Jiuling entrusted the matter to Lu Xiaofeng.

With Lu Xiaofeng's temperament, when he arrives in the capital, he will definitely go to the palace himself to see if he can sneak in, but... the palace is not an ordinary place after all, not to mention the strict guards, and the traps are even more difficult to guard against. Lu Xiaofeng this time , I'm afraid it's not that easy... Hua Manlou couldn't help but frowned slightly, with a serious look on his face, but suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled:

"Huamanlou, Huamanlou, is Lu Xiaofeng in danger this time?"

Obviously, Hua Manlou is not alone in this concern. Liu Mogui rubbed his eyes with one hand and shook his sleeve with the other. His face was drowsy, but his pretty eyebrows were almost They twisted into a ball: "Shall we go to the capital too?"——For some reason, the little girl always seems to be very sleepy these days.

Hua Manlou sighed, with a slightly apologetic look on his face, but he still nodded in the end—he and the little girl had just got married, and originally wanted to play around with her, but it was really dangerous, but he also It is absolutely impossible to stand idly by.

Liu Mogui blinked a pair of dark almond eyes, stared at Hua Manlou again and again, as if guessing what he was thinking, covered his mouth and yawned delicately, leaned over to lie on his shoulder and licked it. A sweet smile appeared on his lips: "Lu Xiaofeng is also my friend, so... I want to help him too! And... I have never been to the capital, I heard that there are many interesting things in the capital, wait for this The case is over, Huamanlou will you go shopping with me? Oh, you must remember to bring enough money! Don't be stingy, I want to buy a lot of things!"

Hua Manlou finally laughed, rubbed the top of the little girl's head, and said "yes" softly.

……

It was already the end of July when the two arrived in the capital, and they went directly to the palace. Jin Jiuling, who was already the new manager of the palace, came out to welcome the two in person, and then they saw a man dressed in white in the palace. The man - he is very handsome, with a white face and a slight beard, but there is no expression on his face, and he exudes a cool aura. The long sword on his waist is not out of its sheath, but there seems to be an awe-inspiring sword around him. Meaning staggered around.

It was just after lunch, and it was the time when he was most likely to be sleepy during the day. Liu Mogui was led by Hua Manlou and walked in, rubbing his eyes in a daze, but when he saw this person, he suddenly felt sleepy. The child became inexplicably sober, and stared at him carefully for two more times——

He has obviously never seen him before, but for some reason, at first glance, he seems familiar... Liu Mogui rubbed his chin, blinked his eyes thoughtfully, and it took him a while to suddenly think of him... As if for something, she broke free from Huamanlou's hand holding her, clapped her hands lightly, and with a face full of enlightenment, she tilted her head and asked crisply:

"Are you a relative of Ximen Chuuxue? You look like him!"

No wonder she felt familiar, it turned out that it was the cold and sharp aura of this man that reminded her of Ximen Chuuxue unconsciously!

The man turned his head when he heard the words, his eyes paused for a moment on the little girl, and he didn't say anything, but the little girl suddenly shook her head vigorously for some reason: "No, no, it's very similar, but it's also very different Yes, although Ximen Chuuxue doesn't like to talk and has no expression, he is actually very gentle and cute, but you seem to be colder than him..."

Ximen Fuxue... gentle and lovely?The man's expressionless face seemed to be taken aback suddenly, and the eyes that rested on the little girl seemed to be filled with a sense of ambiguity, and he was silent for a while.The little girl didn't realize it, she blinked her eyes again when she saw him, tilted her head and asked crisply: "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly paused. Looking at the man who was still silent, he scratched his hair and shook his head as if he suddenly thought of something: "Is it convenient to say? That's fine." Lah, I just don’t ask, I’m sorry, don’t be angry..."

"Ye Gucheng." The man suddenly interrupted her words, and the cold voice made the scorching heat of July seem to have a bit of coolness in an instant.

Liu Mogui was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized—she had heard of Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and it was said that he was a peerless swordsman on par with Ximen Chuuxue, but she didn't expect to see him here. They also asked him if he was a relative of Ximen Chuuxue, and compared him with Ximen Chuuxue...

"My wife grew up in a remote valley since I was a child. I don't know much about the world. Please forgive me if I offend you." Hua Manlou smiled helplessly, protected the little girl behind her, and raised her hand to Ye Gucheng. as an apology.

Liu Mogui grabbed Huamanlou's sleeve, poked half of his head out from behind him, and carefully peeked at Ye Gucheng, seeing that his face was still expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry or not. I scratched my hair with a guilty conscience, but in the end I still "have the courage to admit my mistakes" and sincerely apologized to him:

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be Ye Gucheng. Well... Although you are different from Ximen Chuuxue, I think you are also a very good person! Don't be angry with me, okay?"

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ye Gucheng's calm face seemed to fluctuate suddenly when the little girl said the words "you are also a very good person", and he took a deep look at Liu Mogui, Liu Mogui He looked up at him, although he didn't understand what his expression meant, but he didn't have the slightest fear. He came out from behind Huamanlou, and looked at Ye Gucheng openly, his almond eyes had long since disappeared. The previous drowsiness was unbelievably clear—her intuition has always been very accurate. Although Ye Gucheng is cold and different from Ximen Chuuxue, he is not a bad person.And for some reason, she always felt... He didn't seem happy.

Ye Gucheng and her looked at each other for a while, and finally had another reaction - he shook his head, said "no problem" to Huamanlou and Liu Mogui, then changed the subject, and suddenly said: " Is Ximen Chuuxue your friend?"

The fact that the sword god Ximen Chuixue prepared a dowry for Huamanlou's new wife has already spread throughout the Jianghu under Lei Mian's instruction, and Ye Gucheng has naturally heard of it.

Huamanlou knew that Ye Gucheng was ready to fight, and he didn't want to see him and Ximen Chuuxue fighting for their lives, but he hesitated for a while but didn't answer.Liu Mogui rubbed his chin and tilted his head, thought seriously for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

Anyway... She likes Ximen Chuuxue very much. Although Ximen Chuuxue hasn't said anything about it, she probably regards them as friends, right?

Ye Gucheng's indifferent face seemed to be tinged with excitement for a moment, and he turned his gaze to Hua Manlou: "Have you ever fought against him? How is his sword skill?"

Hua Manlou sighed: "I have never fought against him, but his swordsmanship is very good."

"Yeah!" Liu Mogui nodded hurriedly, "Ximen Chuuxue is amazing!"

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, but the excitement on his face became more and more intense, and he turned and left alone.

Huamanlou seemed to be feeling something, and he sighed for a long time. Liu Mogui was stunned, and looked up at Huamanlou in some puzzlement.Hua Manlou rubbed her hair and didn't say much, instead she asked Jin Jiuling about the Embroidered Thief.

……

Hua Manlou reckoned that if Lu Xiaofeng was going to come, it would be within the next few days, so he and Liu Mogui temporarily stayed in the palace.Liu Mogui seems to be getting sleepy more and more easily in the past few days. Not long after it got dark, he covered his mouth and started yawning, and fell asleep in Huamanlou's arms in a daze - Huamanlou was a little bit sleepy at first. I was worried that she might be sick, but I took her pulse before coming to the capital, and the pulse was very normal, and there was no other discomfort except easy drowsiness, so I gradually felt relieved, as long as she was tired recently I'm tired and need a good rest.

Although Liu Mogui was sleepy, Huamanlou was very awake. While gently patting his little wife on the back to lull her to sleep, she was distracted by what was going on in the palace—maybe it was because of the newly stolen No matter what, the night in the palace was so peaceful that it was even a little heavy, except for the chirping of insects and the orderly and steady footsteps of the guards, there were no other sounds.Hua ManLou didn't feel bored, and was still waiting quietly and patiently. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound on the roof——

Huamanlou's hearing has always been much sharper than that of ordinary people, and he can immediately distinguish the footsteps of a person, such soft footsteps that are almost silent almost immediately reveal the identity of the person who came— — There are very few people in the Jianghu who can have such superb lightness skills.

Hua Manlou smiled, picked Liu Mogui up and put him on the bed, and was about to turn around and go out, but someone grabbed his sleeves suddenly——Liu Mogui rubbed his eyes and sat up, his voice was soft because of tiredness Nuo: "Is Lu Xiaofeng here? Then let's go!"

Hua Manlou rubbed her hair and nodded, then dragged the little girl who was still a bit dazed to the door, and then... saw Ye Gucheng fighting with a man in guard clothes, Jianmang was so fast It's almost invisible.

Most of Liu Mogui's drowsiness disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help but tighten Huamanlou's sleeves.
