[System + Lu Xiaofeng] Meow's repayment

The situation of Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiuling was alright, after they retreated into the house, they still did not forget to move things around them to block the door, so as to reduce the harm caused by the music.

While the two of them were busy blocking the door, several flaming arrows suddenly shot in from outside.

After a while, the fire was burning around them.

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng discovered that gunpowder had been hidden in the house at some point. If they stayed here, they would probably be blown to pieces in a short time.

"Hero Hua, quickly take us to hide in the secret room." Doctor Song shouted urgently.

There was no other way at the moment, Hua Ruling nodded, and led the crowd towards the secret room without any hesitation.

By the time they retreated into the secret underground passage, the strange sound of music could no longer be heard.

"Hua Man Lou, are you okay?"

Su Mier supported Hua Manlou's body all the way, and he didn't feel relieved until seeing Hua Manlou's frowning gradually relaxed, and the painful expression disappeared from his face.

Hua Manlou straightened up, and when he heard Su Mier's worried voice, he smiled to reassure his kitten, "I'm fine."

He paused, then said, "How about you? Are you okay?"

The cat's pupils under Su Mier's hood suddenly tightened, but then he realized that Hua Manlou didn't know about his situation, and just thought that his hangover hadn't passed yet.

"it's nothing."

"Then..." Hua Manlou wanted to say something more, but suddenly he listened, "What voice?"

As if in response to Hua Manlou's question, the water droplets that had been seeping slowly above the secret passage began to gather into large streams of water, rushing in at an extremely fast speed.

Soon, the ground was flooded by raging water.

"This is it!" Hua Ruling looked at the scene in front of her and suddenly panicked, "They actually destroyed the sluice of the Meng River, trying to divert the river water here!"

Everyone changed their faces.

They all knew what was coming.

"Father." Hua Manlou hurried over and asked, "Is there no other way here?"

Hua Ruling looked embarrassed, "Yes, yes, but, but that's a dead end!"

"I'm still thinking about what to do now." Lu Xiaofeng persuaded anxiously, "Staying here is waiting for death."

Seeing that the water was getting stronger and stronger and had already covered everyone's calves, Hua Ruling gritted her teeth and said to Hua Manlou, "Qitong, where is the ring your mother left you?"

"Su Mier." Hua Manlou turned his head, "Ring."

He didn't say anything unnecessary, because he believed that Su Mier would definitely wear that ring with him.

of course.

For Su Mier, Hua Manlou handed him such an important thing, even if he tried his best to protect it, how could he let the ring leave him.

He hurriedly tore off the glove on his left hand, took the ring off his index finger, and stuffed it into Hua Manlou's hand.

Seeing Su Mier's actions, Hua Ruling's eyes flashed a flash of shock, but he didn't have time to say anything more at this time, he just opened the stone door with the ring Hua Manlou handed over as quickly as possible.

After everyone entered, the stone gate was quickly closed, and the roaring river was also blocked by the tightly closed stone gate.

However, Hua Ruling didn't stop, and still led everyone to run inside.

The sound of iron gates moving and iron doors falling could be heard continuously behind him. If he slowed down a little, he would be stopped and could no longer enter.

In addition to these, there are many other delicate organs in the secret path, and you may be injured if you are not careful.

However, these people present were not weak in martial arts, so they would not be stopped by those fast-falling iron gates, and Hua Manlou had also seen Su Mier's excellent lightness kung fu, so naturally he was not too worried.

Just as Hua Manlou thought, with Su Mier's lightness kung fu, there shouldn't be any problems in this secret passage, but when he passed the last door, he stumbled and knelt on the ground on one knee .

Hua Manlou, who had already entered the door, sensed something strange in an instant. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately turned back and pulled people over at the last moment before the stone door closed.

"It's okay." Hua Manlou still had tension on his face, and stroked the back of the cat that fell into his arms from top to bottom.

Before he realized that there was something wrong, Su Mier was trembling by the hand moving on his back, he subconsciously wrapped his arms around Hua Manlou's waist, and pressed his face against Hua Manlou's chest.

"It's nothing, it's just that I accidentally lost my mind." Su Mier muttered softly.

"You." With a helpless sigh, Hua Manlou poked the soft cheek under the hood with a serious expression, "Do you know that it was dangerous just now?"

Lu Xiaofeng also just dragged in Miracle Physician Song who had been left outside the stone gate in order to pick up his own medicine bag, and when he turned around, he saw the two people hugging each other, and his face suddenly became colorful.

In front of everyone, under the watchful eyes of everyone, even under your father's nose, Huamanlou, is it really okay for you to be like this? !

Scanning around silently, Lu Xiaofeng found that fortunately everyone had just escaped from danger and was in a period of relaxation, and no one had paid attention to the small dark corner over there.

"Ahem, Uncle Hua, your secret room really has a hole in it."

Lu Xiaofeng's repeated coughing made Su Mier retreat from Huamanlou's arms as if he had just woken up from a dream. He just wanted to shrink into a dark corner and pretend to be a transparent person, but Huamanlou grabbed his wrist and took him behind him.

Hua Manlou slightly bent the corners of his mouth, still calm and calm, without any panic at all.

Seeing him like this, it's hard for others to say anything.

In any case, it was a private matter, and even Hua Manlou's father hadn't spoken yet, so what are they talking about?

In a strange silence, Hua Ruling opened her mouth.

He didn't say anything to Hua Manlou, but looked at everyone with a sad expression, "It seems that we are going to die here today."

That said, it attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Hua, why did you say that?"

"Hey, I have already said that this is a dead end." Hua Ruling raised his finger and pointed to the top of the secret room, "Then above is the Meng River, and we have no way of turning back, we can't get out."

This secret room was also built by Zhu Ting. Once the stone gate is closed, it can never be opened again. Even Hua Ruling doesn't know how to get out.

How ingenious is the mechanism of the number one master Zhu Ting, who in the world can easily crack it?

When everyone looked at each other, Jin Jiuling suddenly laughed and said, "There is a person here who must know how to get out."

He looked around and said confidently, "That man is the Iron Shoe Bandit, and he is among us now."

Hearing the words "Iron Shoe Bandit", Hua Manlou's expression also became solemn, and his unfocused eyes slowly flicked across everyone present.

And Jin Jiuling didn't give a shit, he walked around the secret room, and finally stopped in front of Master Kuzhi, "Stop pretending, you are the iron shoe thief."

He then listed various reasons to prove his inference, which sounded reasonable and convincing.

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Master Kuzhi naturally refused to admit it, "If you say that you suspect me because you didn't drink the poisoned wine from the Western Regions, then I'm not the only one who was not poisoned."

Hua Manlou nodded, "That's right, Catcher Jin, you and Lu Xiaofeng, you are not poisoned, right?"

"That's true." Jin Jiuling and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other, and explained to everyone: "I received a secret report from the imperial court earlier, and I made preparations early in the morning. As for Lu Xiaofeng..."

"I just drank a pot of good wine from Jin Jiuling." Lu Xiaofeng took Jin Jiuling's words proudly.

Seeing that everyone dispelled their suspicion that they were not poisoned, Jin Jiuling turned around and cupped his fists at Hua Manlou again, "Huagongzi, there is something I hope you can explain to me."

"Jin catches the head, but it doesn't matter."

Jin Jiuling cast his gaze behind Hua Manlou, "I wonder if Mr. Hua can tell me the identity of your friend from the Western Regions."

It's no wonder that Jin Jiuling thought too much, after all, Su Mier's appearance was too obvious from the Western Regions, and the sound of the flute had no effect on him before, all the signs added up, it looked very suspicious.

"I?"

Su Mier was leaning against a stone wall quietly, but he didn't expect the fire to burn his body.

He walked to Huamanlou's side, and slightly raised his head towards Jin Jiuling, "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly."

Jin Jiuling was not too polite, and directly asked the question he wanted to know, "Do you have any relationship with the Hanhai Kingdom in the Western Regions?"

"No."

"I remember you also drank those wines, why didn't you get poisoned?"

"The martial arts you practice are special."

"That……"

"Captain Jin, that's enough." Hua Manlou frowned and listened for a while, but couldn't stand Su Mier being interrogated like a prisoner, so he took a step forward and stopped him: "Su Mier has nothing to do with this matter. "

This attitude of complete protection made Jin Jiuling stunned for a moment.

However, the iron shoe thief and the theft of the Hanhai Jade Buddha are not just the Hua family's affairs, especially the latter, which is related to the relationship between the imperial court and the Hanhai Kingdom.

Staring at the face of the young man from the Western Regions hidden under the shadow of the hood and the ornate but sharp machete in his hand, Jin Jiuling deliberated in his mind, turned his face and said to Hua Manlou cautiously: "Young man, you can Guaranteed?"

He immediately heard Hua Manlou's answer "Of course." No matter in his expression or tone, he could clearly know that Hua Manlou had complete trust in the Western Regions man beside him.

"Hua Manlou is right, and Jin Jiuling, it is more important to find the iron shoe thief now."

Lu Xiaofeng also felt that Jin Jiuling's thoughts were too absurd, although he could be forgiven for not knowing the situation, but Huamanlou would really get angry if he continued to doubt like this.

And even though he had never heard Hua Manlou mention Su Mier's origin, and he didn't have a deep understanding of it, but after contacting it a few times, he could see some things clearly.

Su Mier regards Hua Manlou as more important than himself, saying that he is suspected of colluding with the Iron Shoes Bandit, that is simply the biggest joke in the world.
