[Datang+Comprehensive] Overwhelming country and city

"It's very late." Mingyue looked out the window into the reddish twilight, her voice was faint, like clouds floating in the sky, clear and distant.

Huamanlou couldn't see the darkened sky, and couldn't even feel the passage of time. Mingyue seemed to have a kind of magic power. During the time with her, she forgot her sorrows, and the time passed more beautifully than before.

"It seems that he hasn't come back." There was no disappointment in her voice.

Hua Manlou comforted, "He has always been like this, maybe one day he will come back again."

"It's a pleasure chatting with you, the building is full of flowers." Mingyue turned her head to look at him, the dim light did not affect the brilliance in her eyes, which were naturally gentle and affectionate, "It's just that I have to go, I have to wait for Lu Xiaofeng, You have to find a place to spend the night first.”

Huamanlou suddenly said, "You can stay in Baihualou first."

As a Huamanlou man, he shouldn't have said such a thing, he always gave others room to make decisions, and would not rashly make arrangements for others, but for Mingyue, he couldn't help but feel a little more worried.

He could sense that Mingyue seemed to be a martial artist. It would be a lot of inconvenience for a young girl without martial arts to stay overnight at such a night.

But Huamanlou apologized after speaking, and hoped that Mingyue would not misunderstand him.

Mingyue didn't think too much, but looked at him, and asked in a clear and moving voice, "Are you an inn here?"

"No, but the gate of Baihualou is open to everyone." Huamanlou showed a gentle smile.

Mingyue's voice sounded, "Okay."

Hua Manlou didn't realize that because of the 'good', he was much happier than usual.

Lu Xiaofeng stayed in the brothel for three days, but he didn't dare to stay any longer, because he had already suffered all kinds of jokes in these three days, but he didn't want to get angry. After all, a man who came to a brothel didn't drink or touch women, and was laughed at That's as it should be.

But he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, even his friends all over the world would come and laugh at him.

It's been three days, she should be gone, Lu Xiaofeng was walking slowly, when he saw a person walking towards him, no, it was a monk.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know many monks, and this monk happened to be one of them, an honest monk, a monk who never lied.

His eyes lit up immediately, and he changed his cowardice just now, and immediately went up to him, and said with a smile, "Honest monk."

The honest monk raised his head and glanced at him, "It's Lu Xiaofeng." Then he quickly lowered his head.

"You don't seem very happy, honest monk." Lu Xiaofeng smiled.

The honest monk drooped his head and replied, "Monk, I am not honest. Just now when I met the most beautiful woman in the world, I decided not to be a monk."

Lu Xiaofeng's face trembled, and he said dryly, "You just passed by Baihualou."

"Honest monk, I am dishonest. When I see a lot of people there, I go there."

"A lot of people?" Lu Xiaofeng never expected such a scene to appear outside the small building full of flowers.

The honest monk glanced at him, "Now everyone knows that there is a peerless beauty in that small building, who can resist looking there."

Sure enough, he still caused trouble for Huamanlou, Lu Xiaofeng felt guilty.

"But that beauty has other troubles, and there are mortals disturbing her unintentionally, Amitabha." The honest monk bowed his head and gave a Buddha's name, but he also felt worried from the bottom of his heart, and spread rumors about the innocent disaster that the beauty suffered.

"What do you mean by that?" Of course Lu Xiaofeng didn't think that the honest monk said it casually, the honest monk never lied, and sometimes he knew more.

"Didn't you know Lu Xiaofeng about the case that has been spreading all over the place recently?"

Lu Xiaofeng immediately remembered that he was the first to hear the rumors about that beautiful woman, a woman who caused trouble and killed people.

The honest monk sighed, "Seven people have already died."

……

When Lu Xiaofeng returned to Baihua Building, the people outside had not dispersed yet, the four eyebrows on his face were slightly raised, he jumped lightly, and went up to the second floor along the eaves and pillars.

Hua Manlou sat inside drinking tea, with a gentle and calm demeanor, which was even more unforgettable. Youdao is like a son like jade, and when he smiles, he is like a warm spring breeze.

"When did you, Lu Xiaofeng, get into the habit of going through the windows instead of going through the main entrance in my Baihualou?"

Lu Xiaofeng knew that he was joking, and could tell that Hua Manlou was in a good mood, or maybe it was that bad, at least Hua Manlou couldn't see her face.

Just as Lu Xiaofeng thought of the beauty who didn't even dare to recall, Huamanlou mentioned it, "These days, the neighbors outside Baihualou seem to be more enthusiastic."

"It seems to be because of Miss Xiang." Hua Manlou smiled, without any forced surprise.

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the building, and found something different, there were many more things, several baskets of pastries, fresh fruits, and the best roast duck on this street, the most beautiful cloth... There were not many things in the first place. But more people sent it.

"They brought these here." Hua Manlou lived here for many years, and it was the first time that he found the people on this street so kind, that even he would not pay for it.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

He probably guessed the reason. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, no one would not treat her tenderly and take good care of her after seeing her face.

Seeing that he knew nothing, Lu Xiaofeng felt a little tired, he didn't want to think about it, and asked instead, "You asked her to be Miss Xiang."

Hua Manlou smiled gently, "Her surname is Xiang, and her name is Xiang Mingyue. However, if you call her Miss Xiang, she may be happier and willing to forget your previous faux pas."

"Xiang Mingyue." With the name in his mouth, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that it was wrong to say it, and it was wrong to press it in his throat.

"Are you here to see her?" Hua Manlou said again, "She is admiring the flowers in the yard."

"About Yihua, she knows nothing less than me."

Lu Xiaofeng saw the smile on Huamanlou's face, sincere and carefree, as bright and bright as if it had never been covered with dust. He was sincerely happy for Huamanlou's change, but he didn't know if it was better than that. It is related to the beauty of the moon.

It was so stunningly beautiful that it was difficult for him to guess whether it would be useful in the presence of a blind man.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart, maybe he was wrong, Huamanlou loves his flowers so much, even if Huamanlou can talk to his flowers one day, Lu Xiaofeng will not will be strange.

For a person who also loves flowers and plants, he will be so confidant.

When Lu Xiaofeng talked about what he heard from Monk Honest, Hua Manlou's expression became serious, even a little angry, "There is such a thing."

Huamanlou defended Mingyue earnestly, making people feel that Mingyue's innocence was even more important than him, "Miss Xiang has been staying in Baihualou for the past few days and has never left. The deaths of these people have nothing to do with her. relation."

"I also think there is something strange." Lu Xiaofeng didn't notice that Hua Manlou's emotions were a little too heavy, he didn't seem to be treating a friend he had known for only three days, he was still thinking about this case, and stroked his beard, " This rumor spread too fast, it seems more like a deliberate planting."

In fact, anyone who has seen Mingyue will not believe that this matter is related to her, but will find it ridiculous.

He had already made up his mind, "I will go and look into this case."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't bear to pour a basin of dirty water on such a beauty like this, the honest monk probably thought the same way, that's why he said this to Lu Xiaofeng just now.

At this time Lu Xiaofeng heard a voice that could make his heart palpitate, it was Mingyue, Lu Xiaofeng jumped out of the window again and escaped.

Hua Manlou: "..."

Mingyue walked upstairs slowly, and put a pot of crabapple flowers in her arms on the table, "Lu Xiaofeng left again?"

Although it was a question, but the tone was affirmative, she seemed to have known that Lu Xiaofeng had come to Baihualou for a long time.

Although he felt helpless, Hua Manlou still kindly covered up for his friend, "He was here just now, but he left because he was in a hurry."

It's true to say so, but Hua Manlou's ear tips still couldn't help being stained red.

"Oh." Mingyue said softly, as if she didn't care about Lu Xiaofeng's going or staying, but cared more about the pot of crabapple flowers in front of her, her voice was elegant and moving, and there was some worry, "The flowers are all over the building, this crabapple plant seems to be a little uncomfortable. good."

Hearing this, Huamanlou immediately forgot about Lu Xiaofeng who had escaped for the second time, and touched the stamens and leaves of the Begonia flower worriedly. Perhaps he had been with him for many years, and he also had a special way of communicating with the flowers he raised with his own hands. The expression quickly eased, "It's just that the leaves are a little bit frostbitten, just put them in the house for two days."

"That's good." Mingyue just heard too much about growing flowers, but when it comes to doing it, she feels that it is not as good as Huamanlou.When it comes to teaching how to grow flowers, Hua Manlou is also very patient and is a very good and trustworthy teacher.

Mingyue, who wants to continue growing flowers, thought sincerely if she found a place to live in the future.

In the alley about three miles outside Baihua Building, Lu Xiaofeng shook his red cloak and covered his beating heart, feeling that he was getting more and more embarrassed every time.

After telling Mingyue how to treat the frostbitten crabapple, Huamanlou didn't mention the case he heard from Lu Xiaofeng. He really didn't want to let such a gentle and beautiful girl like Mingyue cause more trouble.As for the case investigation, Hua Manlou had complete trust in his friend Lu Xiaofeng.No matter how difficult the case is, it cannot be difficult for him.

Hua Manlou couldn't help showing a smile.
