Jianghu Daily

Chapter 42

Because of Long Wu's incident, Liu An had a headache, and she collapsed on the bed as soon as she returned to her room.After a while, he remembered what Lu Xiaofeng said last night, and dragged himself downstairs to the kitchen to cook for him.

The scene was reversed from yesterday, when Lu Xiaofeng came back, he saw Liu An sprawled on the bed, as if he was asleep.

Lu Xiaofeng raised a smile, determined to set a good example for Liu An.He asked with concern: "Liu Liu, what's wrong with you?"

Liu An groaned and chirped twice, ignoring him.

"Did something happen to the newspaper?"

"Have you done the reward thing?"

"Want to know what I found today?"

"..." Lu Xiaofeng asked persistently, "Then how is my morning porridge?"

"It's terrible!" Liu An sat up and said with a dark face, "You'd better stay away from the kitchen, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "I see, I got up to eat, the food on the table is almost cold."

Liu secretly said: "You can eat."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't want to eat?"

Liu secretly said: "I won't eat."

Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Why?"

Liu An's head hurt even more from what he said. She originally wanted to say that she had no appetite, but seeing Lu Xiaofeng staring at her eagerly, the words came to her lips, "Bring it to me."

Lu Xiaofeng said for a while: "You are very strange today." After saying that, he went out.

Liu An was baffled by his behavior, and was about to get out of bed to ask what happened, when Lu Xiaofeng moved a small table from nowhere.He laid the little table on the bed, put the pillow behind Liu An's back, and turned to serve the food on the table.

The series of movements were extremely skillful, if Liu An didn't know that he was Lu Xiaofeng, the temperament on his body would not have changed, I really wanted to ask him if he had learned to serve others.

Lu Xiaofeng was also sitting on the bed, seeing Liu An was still looking at him foolishly, stroked his growing beard and said with a smile: "Sooner or later you will know how good I am."

"It's coming again!" Liu Anbai gave him a look, and every time he had a slight liking for him, he would start to fall in love with himself.

But Lu Xiaofeng said solemnly: "I'm telling the truth." Liu An was speechless for a while, and responded to him with two "hehe".

"What happened to the newspaper office today?" Lu Xiaofeng asked after drinking the soup.

Liu An thought for a while, and felt that it would be better for others to share his unhappiness. After sorting out the logic, he told him the letter from Long Wu received this afternoon and the troubles of the newspaper office.

Liu An was about to ladle soup, but Lu Xiaofeng grabbed his wrist, and he said: "Who is Long Wu? How old is a man or a woman?" Have you plotted against you?Of course, the last sentence was Lu Xiaofeng's original intention, and he only dared to ask it in his heart.

Liu An looked at him again with the eyes of an idiot, and said: "Man, he is handsome and rich. Actually, I don't know Long Wu's real identity. He said he is a teacher. Have you ever seen such a rich teacher?" Sir?"

But Lu Xiaofeng's focus was obviously not on this matter, he continued to ask: "How did you meet him?!"

Liu An could also hear his intentions, and immediately raised her face, and asked with a sneer, "Why didn't you tell me how you met so many confidante?"

Lu Xiaofeng choked, and said after a long time: "You said it too, it was in the past."

Liu An was inexplicably confused, and his words were full of thorns: "Before it didn't mean it didn't happen."

Lu Xiaofeng was so blocked by her that he couldn't speak, but he wanted to laugh, and Liu An got angry, because he had many confidante before, and at the beginning, he was sour about her relationship with Long Wu.Lu Xiaofeng seems to understand why Liu An's attitude towards him is always hot and cold, and his temper is always unpredictable.

He held Liu An's hand and said slowly, "Let's have a good meal."

"Oh."

After eating, Lu Xiaofeng took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Liu An stared at his every move, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Sleeping in each other's arms at night, Liu An realized that he no longer repelled Lu Xiaofeng's approach, or had never repelled it.Some people are born with affinity, and Lu Xiaofeng is such a person.

"I met Ouyang Qing in Aunt Shisan's mansion. She was poisoned, the same poison as Dazhi Datong. I thought Ye Gucheng would have an antidote, because he was poisoned by Tangmen and nothing happened."

"and then?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, and said: "Then I chased after a ruined temple and found Ye Gucheng healing his wounds inside, his poison had penetrated deep into his bones. I found out that Ximen Chuuxue was in the Forbidden City, but when I went there, he was arrested The big insiders found out."

Seeing that he was doing well, Liu An didn't ask any nonsense.

Lu Xiaofeng took out a gleaming ribbon from his bosom, lightly tied it on Liu An's wrist, and explained: "This satin is from Persia, it is treasured by Ouchi, it will change color and glow under the moonlight. You don't want it for two days. Go back to the inn, and I won’t go back. On September [-]th, I will take this ribbon to the imperial city. Only this ribbon can pass through. Otherwise, the four masters in the palace will kill you. Don’t lose it. I’ll wait for you there. "

Liu An looked at the ribbon in his hand in a daze, and hurriedly asked: "September [-]th? Isn't it the day of the decisive battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng? What does it have to do with the imperial city?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because their decisive battle is at the top of the Forbidden City."

Liu An was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it because you are being targeted by someone who hasn't returned to the inn for the past two days?"

Lu Xiaofeng stared at her for a while, then said: "Yes."

There was one more thing he didn't tell Liu An, he almost died when Ouyang Qing was poisoned.But he's not dead yet, so I won't talk about it.

Liu An lowered his head, and continued after a while: "See you on September [-]th."

She had to make sure that she would not cause trouble for Lu Xiaofeng within these two days. Although Liu An didn't understand the conspiracy Lu Xiaofeng told her and couldn't help her, it was fine for her to protect herself.

The next morning, Liu An woke up and there was another bowl of porridge beside the table, and another note was pressed beside the bowl.

"The sun is the moon, can you still swallow it?"

Looking at the note, Liu An couldn't help but giggled for a while, took a sip from the bowl, and said to himself, "Well, he has the potential of a housewife."

***

Lingxi was very happy when she heard that Liu An was going to spend two nights with her.

So far tens of thousands of taels of silver have been earned from voting money, and there is an endless stream of people who come to the door and say that they are Hua Ming.Liu An was dizzy and busy all day long, and before he knew it, the appointed day of September [-]th arrived.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Liu An feels that the weather today is not very good, even if it is cloudless and the wind is warm, Liu An's heart is still shrouded in a layer of smog.

In the afternoon, Liu An was clearing the tents in the house, and Li Guangding came rushing to spread the word, saying that Long Wu had come.

Liu An didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly got up to greet her.

From a distance, I saw Long Wu standing at the door with his hands behind his back, his arrogance leaking sideways; a small figure standing beside him was Hua Ye.

"Mr. Long, stay safe." Liu An arched his hands and smiled, "Hua Ye, long time no see."

"Sister Liu!" Hua Ye yelled sweetly, and stopped talking wisely.

Long Wu said with a smile: "I've been busy these few days, so I can't visit the house, Miss Liu, don't take offense."

Liu secretly said: "What is Mr. Long talking about, please come in quickly."

The Beijing branch is a big house, and the garden in the middle has become the printing site of the technical department.The main house is the place for meetings, and the two sides are the places where the branch disciples live.Through the corridor, there is a row of bungalows by the lake, which is the residence of Lingxi Zhushi Li Guangding.There is a small pavilion on the lake, named "Huxin Waterside Pavilion".

At this time, Liu An was discussing with Long Wu in the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, while Hua Ye was taken out to play by Li Guangding.

Long Wu and Liu An made some polite remarks, without further ado, and got straight to the point.

"I don't know what Miss Liu thinks about the "Da Ming Daily"."

Liu An put down his teacup, and said with a smile: "Mr. Long, there is no need to ask me. We have no choice but to open a new newspaper with Mr.'s ability. But Mr. asked me and sent me a large sum of money. With this Sincerity, I will never refuse. What's more, Mr. Long's "Da Ming Daily" focuses on politics and cares about the people's livelihood in the world. Our newspaper is just anecdotes and strange stories in the wild, without any conflicts in content. People like to read whatever they like. I can't monopolize what to buy. On the contrary, the newspapers on both sides are brothers and complement each other, so why should I refuse such a good thing?"

Long Wu didn't speak for a while after hearing the words, it was hard for Liu An to answer these words.She clearly agreed to Long Wu's request, but she secretly said that no one would buy his newspaper after it came out, and even if she did, she would mostly buy her newspaper.Although he had already agreed, but due to his influence, he was unhappy and deliberately said these words to stab him.

After figuring this out, Long Wu couldn't help laughing, no matter what, Liu An finally agreed.

"Miss Liu is right. The location of Da Ming Daily is in the compound next door, which is very close to your branch, and the manpower is well-equipped. Miss Liu, please send someone to teach the skills as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will never treat them badly."

Although Liu An was not happy in his heart, he had no choice but to admit it.He hurriedly said, "No problem."

Long Wudao: "I hope to have a happy cooperation."

Liu secretly smiled and said, "Happy cooperation."

Even if this matter is settled.In fact, if Liu An wanted to refuse, there were no less than three ways, but she didn't want to refuse.Not to mention that she was the one who benefited from this matter, what was more important was Long Wu's sincerity.Long Wucai is so powerful that there is no need to ask Liu An's opinion at all, just because she is the founder of the newspaper and needs to be authorized by the words, which shows how hardworking she is.

Liu An and Long Wu chatted for a while about personnel, technology, and which sections of "Da Ming Daily" needed to be opened, and before they knew it, it was getting dark.

Thinking of the promise with Lu Xiaofeng, he patted his skirt and stood up, saying: "It's getting late, if Mr. Long is not in a hurry today, why don't you stay for dinner?"

Long Wu looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "Thank you Miss Liu for your kindness, Hua Ye and I are going back."

When talking about Hua Ye, Hua Ye came.

Holding a copy of "Jianghu Daily" newspaper in his hand, his little face flushed as he ran out of breath, and shouted out of breath, "Big brother! Big brother!"

Long Wu frowned and said, "Screaming, how decent it is!"

Hua Ye didn't restrain himself this time. He spread out the newspaper, pointed at the headlines and shouted, "Brother! Tonight, just tonight! Ye Cheng will come here for a decisive battle!"

Liu An peeked out, and saw the headline titled "The Top of the Forbidden City on a Full Moon Night——Details on the location of the decisive battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng".

In fact, there are not many articles about Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng in the report, but they just know that they are competing in the Forbidden City, so they use it as a gimmick. The whole article is about the origin of the Forbidden City and its customs and culture...

Long Wu was also shocked, and blurted out: "How decent is Cheng! Where are they in the inner courtyard of the imperial city!"

Hua Ye tugged at his sleeve and said, "Brother, these two masters fought because they didn't want too many people to see them, so they chose this place. We... we can feast our eyes, can't we?" Long Wuyi didn't speak for a moment, but he was tempted even thinking about it. .

Liu An thought they were going to sneak into the palace to watch, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Don't be impulsive! Only people with satin can go in, otherwise those four masters will kill the intruders!"

Hua Ye asked in surprise, "What satin?!"

But Long Wu's face turned blue with anger: "The four masters in Da Nei? Good, good! Ding Ao Tu Fang Yin envies Wei Ziyun! It's really audacious to let people go without permission." Liu An didn't have time to think about Long Wu's attitude, listen to him He added: "Ms. Liu must have this piece of satin on her body, right?"

The matter has come to this point, it would be too unkind for Liu An not to admit it, she raised the ribbon on her wrist, and said resolutely: "I only have one, I can't divide it between you." After a pause, she said: "Mr. Long, can't see The showdown is okay, I'll report it myself."

Long Wu shook his head: "It doesn't matter if there is satin or not, I want to see how they fight tonight!"

"But……"

"I have my own way." Pointing at the sky with five fingers, Long Wu said with a smile, "Miss Liu, it seems that we can go together tonight."
