Huo Xiu set up a banquet in his water pavilion.

The water pavilion is built on a huge artificial lake, surrounded by water, and the lake is full of lotus flowers.

It is a pity that it is late autumn now, and the lotus has withered together with the leaves, leaving only a calm lake.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the lake surface, sparkling, and occasionally a bird flies over the water surface lightly, and ripples appear in the places where it passes.

The girl in red was walking between Qiao Feng and Hua Manlou, looking around with her clear and beautiful eyes.

The water pavilion on the lake is surrounded by forests.

Qiao Feng and Hua Manlou were on both sides of her, one on the left and the other on the right, one was handsome and resolute, the other was as gentle as jade, Qian Suyou felt that he was really cool!

In front of the few people was a thin old man leading the way.

Chitose worriedly asked the old man in front, "Is Lu Xiaofeng here?"

The old man in front did not speak, but led them across the Jiuqu Bridge to the water pavilion in the lake without saying a word.

Huo Xiu was indeed an elegant person. The window screens on all four sides of the water pavilion had been rolled up. In the middle was a mahogany dining table, and the chairs placed in front of the dining table had exquisite carvings on the backs of the chairs.

Chitose You is not proficient in things like antiques, but just the day before when Lu Xiaofeng said that Huo Xiu sold a chair for the money that an ordinary person would squander eight lifetimes, so he couldn't help but be cautious.

Chitose Worry: "I heard that every item used by Huo Xiu is priceless. I am a child of a poor family. I am afraid that if I accidentally break it, I will not be able to pay for it. I should stay at home and wait for you to go back."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng glanced at the girl with a smile.

At this time, the skinny old man who brought them here turned his head, his eyes were very bright, his eyes swept over Chitose You, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, since my master invited you here as a guest, he will definitely not be with you." Care about those outsiders."

Chitose looked at the skinny old man, blinked, and said: "I don't believe it. The master here is still sneaky, pretending to be a servant, and he is obviously wary of us. He said he wouldn't care about me, who the hell Do you know if he is actually one way on the surface, but another way behind the scenes?"

The thin old man was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Hua Manlou, who was standing beside the girl, was also smiling, and he clasped his fists at the skinny old man, and said with a smile, "The seventh child of the Hua family, I have met Mr. Huo."

The thin old man raised his head and laughed loudly, "I thought no one would recognize me except Lu Xiaofeng."

Qiao Feng: "Your Excellency's name is black and white in the world, and everyone knows it. Why worry that no one knows you."

Huo Xiu laughed loudly again when he heard this, "Lord Joe of the Beggar Gang, I have long respected you."

Qiao Feng: "I'm no longer the leader of the Beggar Gang, nor a disciple of the Beggar Gang. Why don't you just call me by my first name, so that I can come here more comfortably."

When Huo Xiu heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

The tall young man in front of him is actually a Khitan.Now that Da Song and Khitan are at odds with each other, he should have been ruined after his life experience was exposed.But he didn't, he took the slant, took the initiative to confess his life experience, and beat the Xixia Yipintang who came to find fault and left Da Song.

After Wuxi Huishan Beggars' Clan made an appointment with Xixia Yipintang, Qiao Feng's reputation in the Central Plains did not decline because of his background, on the contrary, it became even worse than before.

Huo Xiu looked at Qiao Feng, and suddenly said: "Chief Qiao, no, you just said that you can't be the leader of Qiao Feng. Qiao Feng, you asked yourself to abdicate from the apricot forest, and you are going to investigate your life experience. When the truth comes to light, how did you come here now?"

Qiao Feng smiled slightly, "Of course my background needs to be investigated, but why I came here, shouldn't your excellency know better than me?"

Huo Xiu shook his head, "I love making friends with heroes all over the world, and you are a loyal person whom everyone praises. It's very normal for me to want to make friends with you. I know you've come here, but it doesn't mean I know your purpose for coming here .”

Chitose looked at Huo Xiu worriedly, smiled, and said, "We are here to find the owner of Tsing Yi Building."

Huo Xiu seemed to have heard some joke, "Little girl, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I'm inviting you to a banquet this time, not because of Qingyilou."

Qiao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to hear the details."

Huo Xiu didn't say why he invited Qiao Feng and others here, he just asked: "Where's Lu Xiaofeng? Why didn't he come?"

Chitose worriedly rolled his eyes: "Lu Xiaofeng went to see Zhu Ting, and he said that it was rare for Your Excellency to invite him to a banquet, and he was very happy. But if Zhu Ting could accompany him to this place of Shuige, he would feel happier in his heart. "

Huo Xiu: "..."

Zhu Ting, known as the boss in the Jianghu, is proficient in various organ techniques.It is said that there is no organ in this world that Zhu Ting cannot break. Huo Xiu has never met Zhu Ting, but he has admired his unique organ skills for a long time.

Chitose looked around, the water pavilion was built in the lake, with windows on all sides, it was hard to imagine that there could be any mechanism here.

The girl looked at it, she couldn't help being curious, and asked: "What kind of mechanism is set up in your water pavilion? Lu Xiaofeng said that you are more important than your own life. For a person like you, even if you want to eat with your family, Maybe there will be a knife hidden in your arms."

The smile on Huo Xiu's face disappeared at some point, and at this moment, his facial features were tense, and it was obvious that he was not happy.

Huo Xiu: "Lu Xiaofeng even told you these words?"

Hua Manlou had a slight smile on his face, "Because he is the only one who recognizes you among us. Your invitation came at the right time, Mr. Shangguan."

Huo Xiu said with a straight face, "What did you say? I don't understand."

Qiao Feng looked at Huo Xiu, and said Xu Sheng: "The Lord Shangguan that Hua Manlou mentioned was the one who took away the wealth of the Jinpeng Dynasty 50 years ago. His name is Shangguanmu."

Huo Xiu was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then sighed.

"You are indeed a group of smart young people. I originally wanted to wait for Lu Xiaofeng to arrive and force him to make a promise never to interfere with the affairs of the Jinpeng Dynasty, keep this matter in his stomach and never spread it, and let you die .”

Chitoseyou stood beside Qiao Feng, with a suspicious look on his face, "After we know about your relationship with King Jinpeng, will you let us live?"

Huo Xiu nodded, "That's right, as long as you are smart and sensible, I will certainly let you go. You know, I'm already old and I won't live long. Although the martial arts world is full of talents, outstanding young people like you are already rare Yes. I am a person who cherishes talent."

Qiao Feng: "When you invited us, you already knew that we were suspicious of you?"

Huo Xiu nodded, "The Beggars' Gang is the largest gang in the world, and it's seamless. Few people mentioned about my youth, and even if I did, it was just a casual question. All of a sudden, I summoned the sub-director disciples to inquire about my youth. Anyone will find it strange."

Huo Xiu's words paused for a while, and then said in a low voice: "What's more, didn't Chief Qiao just bring this cute little girl out of Shangguan Feiyan's hands just two days ago?"

Qiao Feng just smiled and didn't speak.

They were not surprised that Huo Xiu recognized Shangguan Feiyan.

This is of course not surprising, because when Qiantoseyou and Mu Wanqing were about to go to bed last night, the little girl Shangguan Xueer kicked open her door in a hurry, saying that she had discovered something remarkable.

The little girl held something the size of a pellet in her hand, and told Qiantuiyou that it was a love letter from Shangguan Feiyan.

That projectile-sized thing was actually specially made by Shangguan Feiyan.It is a very special kind of paper, it will automatically shrink into a small ball when it comes into contact with water, it looks inconspicuous.But if it is heated by candlelight, the small ball will automatically loosen and can be unfolded into a piece of paper.

On that piece of paper was a letter written by a man to Shangguan Feiyan, and the signature was "Huo".

No one can guarantee that the inscription is a Huo character, so it can be said that it is Huo Xiu.After all, Huo Tianqing, the manager of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, is also surnamed Huo, and he is young and handsome, and he is also the grandson of the old man Tianqin.

But who let Shangguan Feiyan's body leave a token unique to Qingyilou people?

Old man Tianqin is a legend in the world, with high reputation in martial arts, if his grandson runs a Tsing Yi Building, probably no one in the martial arts will condemn him, old man Tianqin was the first to break his leg.

Moreover, Tsing Yi Building has been established for a long time, and the huge financial resources behind it are not something that Huo Tianqing, who works for Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, can handle.

The most important thing is what was written in that letter. In addition to the lingering words of love, it also mentioned in whose hands the remaining two fortunes of the Jinpeng Dynasty belonged. He also instructed Shangguan Feiyan how to coax the two of them into a circle.

The four great ministers, Shangguan Jin, have passed away.

There were three remaining people, one of them was Yan Tieshan from Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, and the other was Dugu Yihe, the head of the Emei School.These two people had a great reputation in Guanzhong, and they definitely didn't want the scandal of betraying the old master to be revealed.

Barbara.

What was said in the letter was all about how to deal with Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe, but never mentioned anything about Ling, an old minister.

The most important thing is the last sentence——

"If this is accomplished, my flying swallow will be the landlord's wife. From now on, the martial arts world will be divided into black and white, and everyone will respect you. The world is so big, let you soar."

……

After tidying up and sorting out the clues in his hands, it is not difficult to guess that Huo Xiu is Shangguanmu back then.

After all, young people more than 50 years ago should be in their seventies and eighties now.An old man surnamed Huo in his seventies and eighties, with wealth and scheming, he was afraid that his current reputation would be ruined... There is no one other than Huo Xiu.

It was already late at this time, and the candles in the water pavilion had already been lit.

Chitose Yu took out a small ball from the palm of his hand, put it on the candlelight and baked it for a while, then unfolded it and handed it to Huo Xiu.

Qiantuiyou: "Shangguan Feiyan is also considered a smart girl, but she actually obeys your advice, which is really surprising."

Huo Xiu didn't accept the paper handed over by Chitose You, he sat down slowly, and even poured himself a glass of wine, "A young and beautiful girl always thinks that she is the center of the world, and all men should be convinced by her .”

"But she is indeed a very smart and attractive girl, Qitong, don't you think so?"

When Hua Manlou heard Huo Xiu's words, she didn't get angry, "But she has already eaten her own bitter fruit."

Huo Xiu: "That's right, cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness. She said that she admired me and that I was her hero. She loved no one and looked down on no one, but she was crazy about me. I am older, and I am indeed more I used to prefer young and beautiful girls, but I don't like a young girl who is trying to figure me out."

"The letter in your hand was written to her by me. I soaked the letter in a special potion, and after reading it once, it would be reduced to ashes, and nothing would remain. But this young girl, I don't know if I used it What a way to keep it. Although she said that she admires me and is crazy about me, she always has back tricks. If she doesn't die, after getting the fortune word of Jinpeng Dynasty, maybe she will be the next one. The one who calculates is me."

After hearing Huo Xiu's words, Chitose was quite speechless.

She turned her head to look at Qiao Feng, the man's face was as heavy as water, and he didn't speak.

Chitoseyou couldn't help but sighed, "You all come and go so high, don't you feel tired?"

Huo Xiu seemed to have heard some joke, "Little girl, how can you know this kind of fun if you are not in it? Mantis, cicada and oriole are behind, she thinks I will be fascinated by her, How would you know that I already knew everything and was just waiting for her to jump into the pit?"

Chitose was silent, with a disapproving tone, "But it's not that you haven't been tricked by her. When I took out this letter just now, although you were indifferent, you were obviously shocked."

Huo Xiu angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense!"

Chitose You looked innocent, she tilted her head, looking innocent and cute, "I'm not talking nonsense, you must be very proud of the potion you invented, so you confessed all your wealth in the letter, and told her how to make it Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng were fooled. You must think that this piece of paper will be reduced to ashes after she finishes reading it. Otherwise, how could a cautious person like you write those words? Shangguan Feiyan is beautiful, but her Reputation is not good, and it doesn't matter if she knows your details. In the future, if you turn your face and deny anyone, even if she knows your details, she will be helpless. After all, who would trust a woman who is full of lies? "

In the eyes of others, Shangguan Feiyan is just a woman who wants to fly to the branches and become a phoenix. She is beautiful and talented, but she is beyond her control.Who is Huo Xiu, who is so rich in the world, how could he fall in love with an eighteen-year-old woman?What's more, this woman is still a very indiscreet woman.

Shangguan Feiyan probably thought of this too, so she tried to save Huo Xiu's letter.

She knew that some people might not believe what she said, but if there was a letter written by Huo Xiu, it would be another matter.

It turned into a small ball the size of a pill, except for her sister Shangguan Xueer who knew how to open it, no one else knew.

Chitoseyou was very puzzled: "Actually, you also know that Shangguan Feiyan is not the kind of peaceful person, she is very ambitious. But is it bad for you that she is ambitious? You are so old, you will die sooner or later After you die, maybe she can help you carry forward Tsing Yi Building, so that you will be enshrined by the people of Tsing Yi Building for generations to come. You are really a match made in heaven, why did you kill her?"

Qiao Feng: "..."

Hua Manlou: "..."

Huo Xiu was obviously taken aback by Qiantoseyou's weird remarks. He looked at Qiantoseyou with interest in his eyes, and said "Oh", "What do you say?"

Chitose Worry: "What you care about now is only your own reputation. Although Shangguan Feiyan kept your letters, she is a smart person, and she is definitely not the result she wants. When you are old, you will die soon. After you die, she will be the legitimate landlord. A legitimate landlord is always more convincing than a stolen landlord. In order to stabilize her position, she will definitely take your reputation into consideration. After all, she It's your widow."

Huo Xiu laughed, "So, her death is my loss?"

Chitose You: "That's what you said."

Huo Xiu: "A thousand-year-old worry from the Ancient Tomb Sect, isn't it? Today's martial arts is full of talented people. But a cute little girl like you is always easy to lose her face."

Qiao Feng frowned slightly when he heard this.

He took two steps forward, his tall body blocked the gaze of the old man in front of the girl, and asked in a deep voice: "Since you already know that we have seen through your identity, why are you waiting for us here? Aren't you afraid that we won't come? "

When Huo Xiu heard this, he laughed loudly: "Young people like you are always young and vigorous. Even if you know that my banquet in the water pavilion is a bureau, you will definitely come back. You always feel that you are omnipotent. Just like Shangguan Feiyan."

Qian Suyou poked his head out from behind Qiao Feng, glanced at Huo Xiu with those bright eyes, and retorted: "Nonsense, why are we the same as Shangguan Feiyan? Gentlemen are magnanimous, we are all magnanimous people. Between us So I came here, not because I think I am omnipotent, but just to see how shameless Shangguanmu was 50 years ago and Huo Xiu is today."

Hua Manlou nodded slightly, and said in a warm voice: "With the power of Qingyi Building, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait. Your people from the [-] buildings can dig us out even if they dig three feet into the ground."

Huo Xiu no longer cared what the young people in front of him knew or didn't know.He looked like he was sure of winning, slowly sipped the wine in the glass, sighed and said: "I wanted to drink with Lu Xiaofeng again, but unfortunately, I will never have the chance in this life."

At this time, Huo Xiu is no longer the richest man in the world, nor is he the landlord of the first floor of Tsing Yi Building. He is an old minister of an ancient dynasty more than 50 years ago, Shangguanmu.

Huo Xiu was not the only four ministers back then. Apart from Shangguan Jin who stayed with King Jinpeng, there were three others, one of whom was Huo Xiu, and the other two were Yan Tieshan, the owner of the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, and the head of the Emei Sect. The disciple Dugu Yihe.

When the four great ministers escorted the old lord King Jinpeng to the Central Plains, they really still had the dream of restoring the country.

They didn't expect that the little prince they brought to Zhongyuan was actually a person who was only interested in romance.When King Jinpeng arrived in the Central Plains, they built a palace in a secluded place and invited many servants, hoping that these little princes who had lost their homeland would cheer up earlier, regroup, lead them to fight back, and take back the lost dynasty.

Ideal is plump, reality is skinny.

The King Jinpeng brought by the four great ministers is an elegant man with only poems and poems in his stomach, and romantic affairs. It is more painful to ask him to restore the country than to take his life.

King Jinpeng just wanted to have fun and didn't want to regain his homeland, so the four great officials who followed him, except for King Jinpeng's uncle Shangguan Jin, the other three left him.

"You have to know that as long as you are a man, you will have ambitions in your heart. Although I am old now, I still have my own goals. But the little prince was in his prime of life, but he was greedy for pleasure every day, and never mentioned when he should To use the wealth we brought from our homeland to recruit soldiers and horses. He always thinks that the money is easy to earn, and he spends it very hard.”

"You have seen the place where King Jinpeng lives, right? How much manpower and material resources would it take to build such a palace? But he never cared, and he didn't ask where the money came from. After spending it, there is no money. what to do."

"I bid farewell to my homeland and followed him to the Central Plains. It's not because I wanted to hide in a mountain forest all day long like him, and be a waste who only knows about romance and doesn't think about making progress!"

The author has something to say: Chitose asked Huo Xiu: Have you ever heard a sentence? ~O(∩_∩)O~

Huo Xiu: What are you talking about?

Chitose Worry: The villain died because of talking too much~(^o^)/~

Huo Xiu: ...Director, I want to change the script! !

Director: No, you have to die from talking too much ==

Huo Xiu: (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻
