[Comprehensive] Looking to the End of the World

Chapter No.16, Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Sixteen

"Token?" Liu Mengli lightly rubbed the token in her hand with her fingers, she couldn't recognize the material of the token, it wasn't gold or jade, but it looked a bit like... wood?She looked at the man in black standing with her head bowed, and asked, "Why does Boss Yan want you to hand over this token to me? What's the use of this token?"

"This subordinate is following the boss's last order...to find you, Shaoge Master." The man in black lowered his head and said in deep pain.

"Death?" Liu Mengli was shocked, she was not proficient in deduction, but yesterday, Boss Yan did have a death calamity, which happened to be resolved by her.She thought the calamity was over, but she didn't expect to hear the news of his death today.

Liu Mengli was silent.There were cicadas chirping outside the window, but the hall was eerily quiet.After a long time, Liu Mengli remembered another question and asked, "You just said Young Pavilion Master? What do you mean?"

The man in black sniffed, and then replied: "The big boss told me to wait last night, whoever he will give this token to in the future will be the Young Master of the Jewel Pavilion." The man in black seemed to be having trouble breathing, The tone changed, "This morning, my subordinates received an order from the big boss. But... but on the way here, the subordinates received the news that the big boss, the big boss has been killed... woo woo Woo..." At this point, the man in black finally couldn't control his grief and indignation, and wept bitterly.

When he was five years old, he lost his parents and was picked up by the big boss. He grew up beside him, taught him to read and practice martial arts, and gave him a shelter from the wind and rain.The big boss treats him as much as a mountain, and Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion is his home.But now, the big boss is dead, Zhuguangbaoqige doesn't know how many people are still alive.A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, but he doesn't reach the sad point.

The waiter was still angry at first, but this strange man doubted his loyalty to the young lady, but seeing him crying so miserably, he felt pity in his heart, so he couldn't help but softly said: "Dead people can't be resurrected, please condolences. Boss Yan was killed. , He must hope that you can avenge him." Seeing his grief, Shi Shu felt that this man must have deep feelings for Boss Yan.Worried that he was too sad, I couldn't help but find a way for him to vent his sadness.Hatred, sometimes can give people infinite power.

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Shu finished speaking, the crying of the man in black gradually weakened.He rudely wiped the tears from his face, put away the pain in his heart, knelt down respectfully in front of Liu Mengli, and said solemnly: "Young Pavilion Master, the big boss has handed over the Jewelry Pavilion to you. Waiting for your order. You, you must avenge the big boss~~"

Liu Mengli was stunned by the successive incidents.It's less than half a cup of tea, how did she become the master of the young pavilion?Also, is her friendship with Yan Tieshan so good?So good that he can give her half of his inheritance?

But she couldn't bear to let this loyal man kneel in front of her like this, so she could only say: "You get up first."

"Young Pavilion Master?" The man in black bowed his head and kneeled obstinately, as if he would not get up if you didn't agree.

There was no expression on Liu Mengli's jade-like face at first, only a pair of black jade-like eyes showed a little surprise, but seeing this man kneeling in front of her, refusing to get up, she slightly frowned, and said, "What do you mean?" what name?"

Hearing Liu Mengli's question, the man in black finally let go of his heart that was in mid-air.Although he knew this Boss Liu of Zhilan Pavilion before, he only knew that she was good at mixing fragrances, but he didn't know how good her martial arts were.Until yesterday, she was like a ghost, and she saved the life of the big boss as soon as she made a move.Although he doesn't know why the big boss entrusted the Pearl Pavilion to a woman, he believes in the big boss' choice.

"My subordinate, Zhen Yi, is in charge of the first floor of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion." The man in black, namely Zhen Yi, said respectfully.

"Then tell me, how did the big boss die?" Liu Mengli didn't understand, Yan Tieshan was surrounded by a cloud of masters, and he himself was also a master of internal martial arts, how could he lose his life overnight?

Zhen Yi didn't witness the scene of Yan Tieshan's murder, but the news about Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion is very well-informed. "The subordinates were ordered by the big boss to send a letter to you, the young master, and did not witness the scene of the death of the big boss. But the eyeliner of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion is all over Shanxi, and it has its own special channel to deliver the news." Zhen Yi said slowly: " I received the news that the big boss died of a poisonous needle. At that time, Mr. Huo was alone with the big boss, but after the big boss was killed, Mr. Huo failed to catch the murderer on the spot."

Speaking of the murderer, the light in Zhen's eyes was frighteningly bright, and he clenched his teeth tightly.There is no doubt that if the murderer appeared in front of him, he would bite him to death one by one.

"Boss Huo was there alone at that time?" Liu Mengli asked doubtfully, remembering the young man she saw yesterday.Huo Tianqing doesn't look weak at all!

"Then who is the murderer?" Liu Mengli asked, and at the same time speculated about the possible candidate in her mind.

"I don't know." Zhen Yi replied, he didn't receive any news about the murderer, so he didn't know.

"What?" Liu Mengli was startled, "At that time, the boss was the only one with Huo Boss?" Liu Mengli had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't know anything about the situation of Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, so she became the young pavilion master in such a muddle. Can't find a clue at all.

"Boss Huo will never betray the big boss." Zhen Yi understood the meaning of Liu Mengli's words, and explained: "The big boss has saved Boss Huo's life." He also thought the same way when he saw the news, but I also thought that Mr. Huo is the most loyal, and he will definitely not be ungrateful.

"Oh? So that's the case." Liu Mengli said lightly: "No wonder the big boss trusts him so much, and even entrusted him to take care of the Zhuguangbaoqi pavilion." Liu Mengli changed the subject, and suddenly said: "You just said that the big boss died of a poisonous needle? "

"Yes, that's what my subordinate said in the news I received." Zhen Yi said sadly: "A few needles, and a needle that sealed the throat with blood."

Liu Mengli supported her forehead with one hand, and played with the token with the other, thinking in her heart.It's cow hairy needles again, and they're all poisonous.I don't know if this murderer is the same one who attacked the two girls from the Emei School last night.The big boss is not weak in martial arts, and his temperament is even more cautious. How could he let people plot against him?unless······

What is the role of this Boss Huo?These questions, like individual beads, linger in Liu Mengli's heart, but now, she has not found the thread to thread the beads.

Liu Mengli was thoughtful, Shi Shu and Zhen Yi didn't dare to disturb her.She stood on the side with her head down, not daring to breathe, for fear of disturbing Liu Mengli's thinking.

After a while, Liu Mengli said: "Serve the book, prepare the car, and go to the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion." The murderer will be caught sooner or later, and the most important thing now is to attend to the boss's funeral.

"Yes, miss." The waiter went away in response.

Liu Mengli stood up, straightened the folds of Li Ru's skirt, and walked towards the gate, followed closely by Zhen Yi without saying a word.

Lu Xiaofeng has not received the news of Yan Tieshan's death yet, and he is drinking leisurely right now~ But the person he drinks with is neither Huamanlou nor his confidante, but an old man, a little old man with a gray beard.

"Old man Huo, your wine is better!" Lu Xiaofeng praised with a smile, took another sip of wine, and the doll showed a satisfied expression.

"As your friend of Lu Xiaofeng, why don't you hide a few jars of good wine?" This little old man is Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world, and another former minister of the Jinpeng Dynasty, Shangguanmu.

"Everyone in the Jianghu knows that I, Lu Xiaofeng, am a drunkard, a big drunkard." Lu Xiaofeng didn't stop talking, and he drank several glasses of wine in a row.

"Hahaha, it seems that sometimes the rumors in the world are still believable." Huo Xiu didn't drink himself, but watched Lu Xiaofeng drink one cup after another, smiling very kindly.

"Come here, Lu Xiaofeng, look, this is the authentic work of Song Zhenzong that I found recently." Although Huo Xiu is the richest person in the world, he has no bad hobbies, he only likes collecting antique calligraphy and paintings.He recently received an authentic handicraft of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. He was so proud that he couldn't help but want to share it with his friends.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the scroll Huo Xiu unfolded in front of him. It was a painting of flowers and birds, which was Huizong's forte.The style is simple and simple, and the flowers, plants, birds and birds have both form and spirit, which is indeed an authentic work of Huizong.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded appreciatively, and said, "It's a good painting."

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's praise, Huo Xiu smiled very complacently.He introduced his other collections to Lu Xiaofeng with a little show off, with a happy expression and a happy mood.It can be seen that Huo Xiu loves these antique calligraphy and paintings from the bottom of his heart, and sharing them with knowledgeable friends is a kind of enjoyment for him.

Holding the wine glass in one hand and the jug in the other, Lu Xiaofeng followed behind Huo Xiu, listening to him happily share his collection with him.

When the wine jug bottomed out, Huo Xiu said to Lu Xiaofeng with still unsatisfied interest: "Lu Xiaofeng, it's a pity that you came in a hurry this time, I don't have many treasures here. Next time, I will invite you to look at my collection of ancient jades from the Han Dynasty."

"Okay! But, old man Huo, I have something to ask you." Lu Xiaofeng put down the jug and said.

"What's the matter? Why don't you ask?" Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's serious face, Huo Xiu thought there was something important, so he put away his smiling face and said seriously.

"I want to ask you..." Lu Xiaofeng glanced down at the wine glass in his hand, then suddenly raised his head to stare at Huo Xiu, and said, "Are you the landlord of Tsing Yi?"

When Huo Xiu heard this, he couldn't help being stunned, and said with a dumbfounded smile: "How could I be the landlord of Tsing Yi?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't miss Huo Xiu's first reaction, and felt relieved, Huo Xiu is not the landlord of Tsing Yi!

Huo Xiu and him are friends who have forgotten the years, and he doesn't want to lose this friend.Don't want to lose the friend who has the wine ready for him.

"Just kidding with you, old man Huo, you won't be angry!" Lu Xiaofeng put away his serious expression just now, and said with a playful smile.

"Hmph! You're a slippery head." Huo Xiu knew in his heart that Lu Xiaofeng must have encountered some kind of trouble to ask this question, but he didn't care and said casually.

"Old man Huo, do you still have good wine here?" Lu Xiaofeng must be the reincarnation of an alcoholic, and when he encounters good wine, he can't hold it.

"No, you drank all the wine this time." Huo Xiu cruelly told Lu Xiaofeng the truth.

"No way! Old man Huo, last time you clearly said that you would prepare more wine for me~~"

"Oh, you haven't come for a long time, I was angry, so I drank it up..."

"what?······"
