Lianhua Manlou

Taihang Mountain and Wuzhen are the only places where you can rest your feet in a radius of hundreds of miles. If you leave Tongguan from here, the journey will be even more difficult.A bodyguard team of hundreds of people marched into the small town and booked the largest inn in the town - Baixing Inn. Although everyone's face was covered with dust, they didn't look tired at all and kept walking. Relaxed and full of energy, he was vigilantly moving several large carts of goods into the lobby one after another. A man with a full mouth and beard stared at him with good eyes, and shouted from time to time: "Hurry up, damn it! It's going to be dark."

A thin and short old man patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said kindly: "Boy Situ, you are too angry. We can't afford to hurt things if you move things in a hurry."

Situ, the chief escort of the Qunying Escort Bureau, wiped his face, spat, and gasped, "Escort Shen, you are always bold and skilled, and I haven't had a good night's sleep like his grandma. , Don’t even dare to touch wine, when will you be tall these days! If you knew it, you wouldn’t take this dart if you killed me!” This is the truth, Situ Gang has long regretted taking this dart.Gold jewels worth 500 million taels, bodyguards from thirteen bodyguard bureaus, nine major gangs and seven major sects of the Central Plains martial arts as guarantors, involving the palace and the court... Who can tell clearly? ?

"Just be careful, just be careful..." Old man Shen sighed and didn't know whether he said it to Situ Gang or himself.He is already an old man with a long history, and his life experience is beyond the reach of others. He didn't plan to go on this dart trip, but in the end he couldn't bear the favor.He was open-minded by nature but comforted Situ Gang: "How many people are behind to help, don't worry too much."

Situ just narrowed his eyes slightly, sighed again and nodded.

At night, the inn was still brightly lit, twenty or thirty bodyguards sat in every corner of the lobby, and there were no lower guards outside the door.The shop waiter was dozing off with his head propped up on the counter, holding a rag in his hand and almost wiping his face, nodding his head, and finally knocking on the table with a "boom--".

In an instant, there was the sound of drawing out knives in unison, and the second brother opened his eyes in a daze. He was blinded by the bright knives, and kneeled on the ground limply, begging for mercy.

Situ just heard the sound on the second floor, opened the door and cursed as he walked: "Damn, are you looking for death?!"

Quiet, very quiet, no response.

Situ stepped out of the door just now, and he couldn't help but panic. He looked downstairs, his eyes gradually widened, and he fell to the ground in horror, sweating, and ran back while crawling. door.

The door opened with a squeak, and old man Shen was standing at the door and looking at him with a smile.

Situ Gang burst into tears, hugged his legs and said in horror: "Old Shen, old, dead, all dead! Headless ghost!!"

Situ just raised his head, old man Shen's smile gradually distorted, and his voice became coarse and ghostly. He only heard him laughing and saying, "Is it like... like this?" After spraying Situ Gang all over his face, almost only the whites of those protruding eyes remained.

Situ Gang stood there in a daze for a long time, holding the head in his arms, lowering his head and breathing heavily, a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, as white as snow and spotless, with two embroidered shoes on it Lifelike colorful butterflies shuttle among the flowers.

Situ Gang raised his head in a daze. The little girl smiled brightly and cutely. She was holding a huge ax with two fingers. It was silvery white and dripping with blood. It seemed to be weightless in her hands, and she was extremely relaxed.

Situ Gang tremblingly said: "You, who are you?!"

The girl smiled shyly and said, "Idiot, you're going to die and still be so dishonest." A tender white finger touched Situ Gang's forehead, and she blinked, "This is not a good boy, he will be punished!" With a swing of the axe, his limbs were chopped off!

Situ Gang twitched on the ground in pain, howled, and wriggled to escape.

A long sword flew up from behind him and pinned him to the ground. Situ Gang's body froze, and then stopped there, unable to move any more.

A man in black walked over slowly, put his sword back into its sheath, and said to the girl in a cold voice: "Shangguan Xue'er, you are still waiting for us."

Shangguan Xue'er jumped up in front of him, straddled his arm and said with a laugh: "Yes, young master, but..." Her ax was thrown viciously and nailed in a corner where four overlapping Of the five dead men, the one at the bottom trembled and clenched his teeth.

Shangguan Xue'er said flatly, "True or false."

The man in black frowned, walked over slowly, squatted down, and could almost hear the creaking of the man's teeth.He pursed his lips, and with a flash of sword light, he cut off his limbs and turned to leave.

Shangguan Xueer rolled her eyes, hurriedly followed and asked, "Aren't you going to kill him?"

The man in black said lightly: "Someone will come to deal with the aftermath."

Shangguan Xue'er didn't give up and continued to ask: "Why didn't you kill him? Aren't you afraid that you will blame me? You are..."

The man in black stopped in his tracks and looked at her coldly: "There is a kind of people who always die the fastest - talkative people."

Shangguan Xueer stuck out her tongue at him and ran away without a trace. The man in black stared at his back for a long time before disappearing into the night.

In just a few days, the martial arts once again set off monstrous waves. One hundred and three shrewd and capable martial arts masters, and gold jewels worth 500 million taels all mysteriously disappeared overnight.The impact of this incident is not only related to the life and death of the thirteen largest bodyguards in the Central Plains, but there are at least seventy or eighty well-known people in the Jianghu, who are about to lose their families and reputations because of this.They have even gone to Dongtian Ting, if they can't find them, not only all the guarantors will inevitably be convicted, even the Taiping Palace who entrusted them with bodyguards will be involved.

The moonlight was hazy, Wang Lianhua was drinking, drinking alone is always easy to get drunk.There is no pleasant scenery in Baiyun City, only the sea, which stretches as far as the eye can see, is vast and boundless, the sea breeze carries a slight fishy smell, and the waves rushing towards the waves are afraid of hitting the rocks, making rustling noises.The vast ocean, the brilliant starlight, he seems to be the only one left in the world, what could be more comfortable than this?

On such a romantic night, it can always arouse people's romantic reverie. Sometimes "loneliness" is a kind of enjoyment. Too many sad memories not only make people old, but also often make people change.Fortunately, Wang Lianhua is not a person who likes to recall the past. In a certain nature, he is almost cold. Whether it is his parents, friends, lover, or even himself, what else can he not abandon? ?Wang Lianhua herself doesn't know, and those who can't be satisfied are often the loneliest.

"Autobiography Fangjiu turns red sleeves, and there seems to be a slight word moving crimson lips. The fog darkly passes through the Qinggui Garden, and Rihua shakes the golden robe. The carved jade pendants are flipped around with hands hanging down, and there are many people on the back. The temples are slanted and the hairpin is jade swallow light. Huang Peng has known each other for a long time, and the blue bird has not returned. The spring scenery in front of the curtain should be cherished, and the flowers and branches upstairs sleep alone." Wang Lianhua shook the empty jug and threw it aside .Standing on the sea rock, stretching his body lazily, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the thousands of stars reflected on the sea, holding a crescent moon is particularly moving.

He suddenly laughed, pursed his thin lips, and jumped into the sparkling sea, shattering all the tranquility and beauty, the water rippled and calmed down again in a blink of an eye.

April 25, Huafu,

A carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and landed in front of Huamanlou's window. Huamanlou was stunned for a long time before carefully hugging it in his arms and taking out a note from under its feet.There are only four short words on it: well, don't read.There is no signature or private seal, but Hua Manlou has read it countless times, caressing those words lightly, infatuated.

noon.

The exquisitely furnished hall is dull and hot, even the wind seems to have been condensed, and there are six people sitting on the elegant Eight Immortals table.Six people who are famous all over the world and famous all over the world.Eagle Eye Seventh, Xiong Tianjian, Mr. Tang Er, Xiaoxiang Swordsman, Hua Ruling, Lu Xiaofeng.

They gathered here for the same reason - Lu Xiaofeng.Now they still have one thing in common—the expressions of the six people are all serious, and their hearts are all heavy.Especially Lu Xiaofeng, everyone was looking at him, waiting for him to speak, but he didn't even want to talk to him.He only wished that he could put on a pair of wings and fly out of Huafu immediately, which would be much better than taking trouble to find him now.

As the host, Hua Ruling had no choice but to speak first. He cupped his hands in a very embarrassed look and said, "This old man should take care of you personally, but now the house is a bit hectic. Outside..." Three points Embarrassed, three points ashamed, three points empathetic grief, one point anger, Master Hua's behavior was just right.

Everyone also thought that today is a good day for Hua Ruling, and it was a disrespect for them to find it empty-handed. They felt even more guilty, and hurriedly said: "Master Hua has ruined us, please do it yourself, please do it yourself!"

Hua Ruling said gratefully: "Hey, what happened like this is so tragic. If the old man can help, please speak up, please don't be polite." Before he finished speaking, he slipped away .

Lu Xiaofeng stared at his back in dumbfounded, sighed and said: "I have already made an appointment to make rice dumplings in Woyunlou, and I just waited for the Dragon Boat Festival to have a good time." The Huzhou zongzi tasted so good that the local government sent them to the capital every year with an express horse of [-] miles, and the owner of Woyunlou was Lu Xiaofeng's old friend.

Eagle-eyed old seven said in a low voice, "Are we friends?"

"Friend..." Lu Xiaofeng muttered these two words, and smiled wryly: "It's really a very heavy word."

Eagle-eyed Seventh was slightly embarrassed. Although he didn't insult Lu Xiaofeng some time ago, he didn't risk the world to defend him. He didn't have the face to beg him.But this is not just about his life alone, but hundreds of thousands, about the nine major gangs and seven major sects of the Central Plains martial arts, almost all of them have been implicated.The backing of this bodyguard is so great that it has even been heard by Dong Tian Ting. If they are not found, all the guarantors will inevitably be convicted.

Lu Xiaofeng said seriously: "Now I just want to drink the wedding wine in a down-to-earth manner and then go back to Wanmei Villa to sleep and eat the best zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival."

Eagle-eyed Seventh sighed: "If there is anyone in the world who can find the murderer for us, it must be Lu Xiaofeng." He said very confidently.After Mu Taoist's incident, he had full confidence in Lu Xiaofeng's wit and ability.

Lu Xiaofeng was silent, and his expression was even more determined.

Eagle-eyed Seventh clenched his fists tightly, with blue veins bulging on his forehead, he said loudly: "Lu Xiaofeng, are you really a turtle who can only shrink back?!"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled shyly: "At least I can live longer."

Xiong Tianjian, who had been silent all this time, sneered and said, "It turns out that Lu Xiaofeng is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. We think highly of you! I will spit on anyone who dares to mention your name in front of me." Xiong Tianjian said The hero of the Central Plains, and the uncle of Situ Gang, the head of the Qunying Escort Bureau, is chivalrous and upright, and has always been very popular in the Jianghu.

Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "It's up to you." He is not a person who cares about fame and fortune, and this kind of threat makes him even more disgusted.Putting aside the word "friend", it's utterly disgusting.

The Xiaoxiang swordsman opened his mouth, and he sneered, "You think he is greedy for life and afraid of death, so you came to beg him not to survive?"

Xiong Tianjian blushed, his veins were bulging, but he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.Who is not afraid of death?The longer people live, the less they live.not to mention

He hasn't avenged his nephew who died tragically!

Eagle Eye Seventh despaired: "If you really don't care, then I can only ask you one thing."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the matter?"

Hawkeye Old Seven said: "Carry the coffin."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and asked, "Whose?"

Eagle-eyed Seventh said coldly: "Mine. If this matter cannot be resolved within 30 days, I'm afraid you will have more than one coffin." His eyes widened, he stood up with gritted teeth, and looked straight Lu Xiaofeng knelt down, bowed his head and said, "I beg you, Lu Xiaofeng!"

Xiong Tianjian was terrified, and quickly reached out to help him: "What are you doing? Begging him? Will he be able to solve it if you beg him?"

Eagle Eye Seventh shook off his arm and begged, "Hundreds of lives are all on your body!"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him complicatedly, for a long time, smiled wryly: "I'm really... good! I promise you, I will do my best. But if I can't solve it, you... can't blame me."

Hawkeye Lao Qi raised his head in surprise, jumped up and said, "It must be."

Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "After the matter is done, I want you to promise me one thing."

Eagle-eyed Seventh's smile narrowed, and he stared at him in disbelief, hesitated for a long time, and said slowly, "It's within my ability."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and the old seventh eagle-eyed heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, people will always change, and Lu Xiaofeng is no longer the former Lu Xiaofeng, maybe it's time to settle down, right?Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, thinking quietly.
