Lonely City without Frost

"So? What is your woman doing to me, why should I save her?" Zuo Wushuang shook the wine glass in his hand, with a very meaningless expression, "Besides, Ximen Chuuxue is an expert in detoxification, so why ask me."

"Ximen Chuuxue helped Ah Jiu recuperate and left Huamanlou's place. I can't find him now. No matter how many things I offended you before, it's not good to involve the innocent, right?"

Zuo Wushuang shook his head, "...to tell you the truth, Ximen did give me the medicine he prescribed, but I used it up."

"Used up...?!" Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes wide, "Is there really nothing to do?"

Although she also felt that it was a pity, she was obviously not as worried as Lu Xiaofeng, "As long as you find Ximen, there is a solution, why are you wasting time on me?"

Seeing her expression of "Don't disturb me, what should I do after drinking", Lu Xiaofeng also became worried. Ximen Chuuxue has always been very good to friends, even when he said that he was going to burn Wanmei Villa back then. He didn't care about it at all, and he also knew that Ximen had given Wushuang the medicine that could cure all poisons, and that might be the only thing he could rely on now.

But Zuo Wushuang said that it was used up.

"The problem is that I can't find him now." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "What can you do?"

"Don't you think you asked the wrong person?" She sneered, "It's still the same sentence, what is your woman doing to me, no one can stop me from drinking now."

Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking, just took a deep look at her, and then left.

Inside the Zuixiang building, almost all the well-informed people from all walks of life were talking about the decisive battle the day after tomorrow. After Lu Xiaofeng left, Zuo Wushuang suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words. He was thinking in a bad mood. She didn't bother to do this kind of thing, and drove a bunch of troubles out of her mind. She continued to drink like a normal person.

——But it just looks okay.

The closer to the night of the full moon, I feel that the time is getting slower and slower, and even the desperate drinking can't make me fall asleep.

To be honest, that bad premonition made her almost collapse.

"Ye Gucheng! Ye Gucheng appeared in a restaurant in the north of the city at noon!"

"Isn't he said to be injured?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, when he appeared at the time, he didn't look like he was poisoned at all. He is indeed the Lord of Baiyun City. Even his travels are so amazing."

It was night when the news reached here, Zuo Wushuang frowned, the feeling that something was wrong became more and more intense, as if something very important had been forgotten by him.

The night was getting darker, and there was no sign of Lu Xiaofeng outside the door, but the group of people who were chattering in his ear did not stop, "The poisonous sand of the Tang Sect is actually dust in his eyes, this person is really too arrogant."

"The Lord Baiyun has the qualifications of arrogance, otherwise why do you think so many people want to watch the battle between him and Ximen Chuuxue?"

"If he is really not poisoned, then the battle the day after tomorrow will be wonderful."

"No matter how exciting it is, we can't see it. The top of the Forbidden City, let alone whether you can enter the palace, just the top of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ordinary people can't go up at all."

"Look, it's as if you've been there before!"

There was a burst of ridicule from around, and the man was not angry, and continued, "I've never been there before, but you can know this kind of thing once you think about it, don't think everyone is as stupid as you."

"Hey! Boy! Try saying something again?!" Finally, someone jumped, and the smell of gunpowder suddenly burst into the air, and the whole lobby became noisy.

"It's so noisy." Sitting where she was, she glanced over indifferently. Although she didn't seem to be angry, her momentum didn't decrease in the slightest.

In the capital, gossip has always spread quickly. It has long been reported that the sword master of Hanhai is drinking and competing with people here, but there are very few people who can recognize her before she draws her sword. , plus she is now dressed like an ordinary lady, no one realizes that this is the sword master of Hanhai.

It was Xiaoer who was the first to realize that something big might happen, and almost rushed over to beg, "Guest officer, you have something to say, don't use swords or swords, it will hurt your feelings."

Zuo Wushuang didn't plan to draw her sword for such a boring thing, she was rethinking what was wrong at the moment, but she didn't have the slightest clue.

"Guest, guest officer?"

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Er who was in a state of trepidation, and suddenly remembered the little guy and the restaurant she had thrown in Baiyun City, and she felt nostalgic for it.

Seeing her expression soften, Xiao'er finally let go of her heart.

At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng, who had been gone for a long time, suddenly came in from the door, his figure was so fast that the rest of the people could hardly see him clearly.

Zuo Wushuang was a little puzzled, "...what are you doing back here?"

"Wu Shuang, let me ask you one last time, do you still have that medicine? If you have it, I would be willing to kneel down and beg you."

There were times when such a firm expression appeared on his face, Zuo Wushuang was stunned for a while, and finally shook his head, "...I can't help you."

"At first I thought that Ye Gucheng was not poisoned, he might be able to cure Ouyang Qing's poison, but I didn't expect..."

His words made her expression change instantly, "...he...was poisoned?"

"It's...he said it himself, so when I saw him at noon today...he would pave the way with flowers and send off beauties. I was very curious why a person like him would make such a show. stench."

"...Is that so?" Zuo Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "It's nothing, since it's like this... probably no one can help you, maybe hurry up and Ximen Chuuxue before it's too late."

"...Ye Gucheng is able to suppress the toxicity for so long because of his profound internal strength, so wouldn't Ouyang Qing be doomed, if he doesn't wait for Ximen Chuuxue to appear."

"At least he will definitely show up the night after tomorrow." Zuo Wushuang seemed unwilling to talk about this matter with him again, and his expression became impatient. After I couldn't save her, I regretted not treating her well."

This was impersonal enough, and it was also her usual attitude towards him, a bitter smile floated on Lu Xiaofeng's face, he turned and left without further entanglement.

It was already very late at night, and she was the only one left in the lobby. According to previous experience, Xiao Er knew that she was only interested in drinking, so she even skipped closing the store and went back to sleep.

At this time, the moonlight could not be seen outside the window. I don't know if it was because of the cloudy sky or because the starlight was too bright.

Zuo Wushuang felt her whole body trembling, and when she came back to her senses, she had already crushed a flagon in her hand, until she finally woke up with a stabbing pain in her right hand.

——Finally, I knew what was wrong.

She already felt strange when it was rumored that Ye Gucheng was poisoned before, but she didn't think much about it. Later, even though she was in a state of fever and unconsciousness, she was sure that he was definitely not poisoned, because his smell was the same as before. , not at all like what Lu Xiaofeng described.

——Why on earth did he do this?

——Is it really just a tactic to show weakness on the surface?Or... is there another story behind it?

Zuo Wushuang felt as if he had never seen this person clearly, completely unable to understand what he wanted to do.

If it was Hua Manlou or Sikong Zaixing who came to talk to her today, maybe she had already told them about it, but it was Lu Xiaofeng, the Lu Xiaofeng she hated the most.

If she didn't want to know the real news about Ye Gucheng from him, she probably wouldn't have lived peacefully with him for so long.

Besides, regarding Ye Gucheng's behavior, she couldn't figure out the meaning at all right now. Most importantly, even if she said that he was definitely not poisoned, Lu Xiaofeng might still think that she was deceiving herself.

However, Lu Xiaofeng still gave her a reminder. It was strange that the young man surnamed Feng asked her for the bottle of medicine. Now Ouyang Qing just happened to be poisoned by the same poison, and she had no medicine that could help her at all. Too coincidental, so coincidental that——

It was like forcing Lu Xiaofeng to find Ye Gucheng, otherwise it would not be considered a success.

——What on earth is he trying to do?

The bad premonition became stronger, but there was no trace of it, Zuo Wushuang felt that he was about to be driven crazy by so many strange clues in his mind, so he took a sip of wine irritably.

She thought she knew Ye Gucheng, because only people like him and Ximen Chuuxue could practice that kind of swordsmanship, but the current situation made her feel that she couldn't see this man clearly.

She even doubted whether she was really liked.

—Impossible, really impossible.

What happened at noon today probably made many people think that he was not poisoned, but it happened that Ximen Chuuxue's good friend Lu Xiaofeng now knew that he was poisoned, what does this mean?

To Ximen Chuuxue, this was more true than people all over the world saying that he was poisoned.

Thinking of this, Zuo Wushuang felt his whole body trembling.

No, no.

With Ye Gucheng's swordsmanship, why would he use such tricks? Zuo Wushuang instinctively felt that something was wrong, but there were too many things going on, and she didn't know how to connect them at all.

Lu Xiaofeng only told her so many things, for the rest, she only knew that the stakes for this decisive battle in the gambling shop outside were getting bigger and bigger.

Picking up his own sword, Zuo Wushuang chased in the direction where Lu Xiaofeng left.

——It doesn't matter how much you hate it, this matter is related to the friends they both value very much, so you must not get angry.

But she couldn't find Lu Xiaofeng no matter what, she was stopped by an unexpected person.
