Lu Xiaofeng returned to Hangzhou City with the last batch of migratory birds.

It was still daylight at that time, and the city gate had just opened.

He had breakfast at a morning tea shop at the gate of the city, and then led the horse to Huamanlou's small building—a small building that was just completed two days ago. .

He didn't know why Huamanlou had to leave Peach Blossom Castle and live alone in such a small building when they were all in Hangzhou City.

But it was also convenient for him.

During breakfast, he had already asked Huamanlou where the small building was, and he found it quickly.

Standing downstairs, he looked at the small building quietly—it was a small three-story building, and there was a small balcony on the second floor, on which several pots of flowers were placed, looking at the back garden of Huajia The few flowers and plants in the garden are a bit similar. I don’t know if they were transplanted directly from there. Although it’s late autumn, these potted plants are still growing very prosperous and full of vitality, almost covering the entire balcony. It is obvious that they have been cared for carefully.

This small building full of flowers is located in the busiest city center in the city. As the sky gradually brightens, pedestrians gradually increase, and the streets become noisy, which makes this quiet small building quite large Feeling faintly in the city.

Lu Xiaofeng often came to Hangzhou City, his iconic four eyebrows were very conspicuous, so passers-by greeted him from time to time.He responded one by one with a smile, and then stroked his mustache, ready to enter the small building.

At this moment, with a "squeak", the balcony door on the second floor was pushed open, Lu Xiaofeng looked up -

That handsome young man in white who came out with a flower scissors kettle, whoever it is, is not full of flowers.

Huamanlou has always been sensitive, as soon as he walked to the balcony, he noticed someone downstairs looking at him, looked down, and couldn't help but smile gently: "Lu Xiaofeng? I guessed that you would come over these two days, the wine is warmed downstairs, You go and drink first, and I will go down to accompany you after I finish handling these flowers and plants."

As soon as he heard that his friend was warming the wine, Lu Xiaofeng's face was full of smiles, and he said: "Those who know me are full of flowers!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and quickly rushed to the first floor, and sure enough, he saw the fine wine gurgling and warming on the table in the middle of the hall on the first floor. He couldn't help but took a deep breath, and soon sat down at the table and poured himself a drink.

After drinking two glasses of slightly hot wine, he finally got rid of his alcohol addiction. While sipping the wine slowly, he looked at the hall on the first floor.

Limited by the size of the small building itself, the hall of this small building is not very spacious, but there is a table in the center with a few chairs scattered and it is almost full. There is a staircase leading directly to the second floor in the corner. There are literati calligraphy and paintings hanging, and several potted plants are placed in a patchwork pattern around the hall, making the hall not so simple. One of the pots is still blooming with rose-red flowers, and there is a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, mixed with the smell of wine , it was really a kind of enjoyment for Lu Xiaofeng!

At this time, Huamanlou's voice came from the balcony on the second floor—although the sound was a little muffled from a distance, Lu Xiaofeng could hear it clearly. Huamanlou said that there were some small dishes in the kitchen on the first floor, and he asked him to take them by himself.

Even though he ate breakfast, good wine really shouldn't lack appetizers, Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, and soon found the kitchen behind the stairs.

He went in and brought two dishes of side dishes, his eyes slid over the stairs beside him, he simply went to the table to pick up a jug of wine, and with the side dishes in his other hand, he slowly went up the stairs.

"Why did you come up here?" Hua Manlou asked distractedly when he heard footsteps while he was loosening the soil for a tuberose plant.

"It's not interesting for me to be down here by myself." Lu Xiaofeng leaned against the balcony door, shook his hand holding the drunkard peanut, and a peanut was bounced high, he opened his mouth and raised his head, caught it just in time, and Drinking wine from the spout, he draped flowers with Huamanlou with a particularly comfortable expression: "Your small building...is full of flowers, I think it can be called Baihualou - how do you think of moving it?" Come out and live?"

Hua Manlou paused, and couldn't help but see the jitters that Yan Yinyue made when he went back to Peach Blossom Castle in the middle of the night. The corners of his lips raised, but he wrote lightly: "...It's too troublesome to live at home all the time. .”

"It's really troublesome to be at home all the time." The senior prodigal son Lu Xiaofeng nodded in agreement, and then looked around: "Where is Xiaoyan? Are you still in Cangyun Castle?"

"She came back the night before yesterday. She's going out for morning exercise now, and she should be back in a while."

"I'll just say it." With Xiaoyan's temperament, Huamanlou can be regarded as a new house, so she would come to have a look.Lu Xiaofeng watched Hua Manlou's movements, and found a new topic: "Hey, what kind of flower is this in your hand? It seems that I haven't seen it in Hua's Garden before."

"This is the Ping An tree. It is said that it was presented to the imperial court from the Ryukyu side. I don't know how Xiaoyan got a pot of it back..."

"Hey." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt a little interested, and simply went to the balcony to take a closer look.

But after all, he wasn't very interested in flowers and trees, and he got tired of looking at them for a while. After he walked out and had a general look at the second floor, he took a side dish jug to the attic for a visit.

The attic is very simple, just a bookshelf, with all kinds of books scattered all over the place. The floor is covered with thick Persian carpets, and there is a small table next to it. It looks like a place to relax and read.The rug on the floor looked very elegant, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't feel the nerve to step in it, and when he turned his eyes and saw the rocking chair by the window, he sat in it.

The viewing angle of this location is very good, not only can you have a panoramic view of the opposite scenery, but you can also see the calm and busy Huamanlou on the balcony downstairs.While looking at the scenery, he was eating some side dishes and drinking some wine, the rocking chair was rocking rhythmically, and Lu Xiaofeng fell asleep unconsciously.

When she woke up, what she saw when she opened her eyes was Yan Yinyue's puffy cheeks and wide-open eyes, with a look of resentment on her face.

With such a rare and agile expression, Lu Xiaofeng almost thought that he was dreaming about Yu Tingfeng, so he couldn't help but let out a "huh".

"Brother Lu is awake?"

Huamanlou's smiling voice came just in time, bringing Lu Xiaofeng back to his senses.

The flagon and side dishes in his hand should have been taken away by Hua Manlou while he was asleep, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to poke Yan Yinyue's cheek: "What's wrong with Xiaoyan? Are you angry?"

However, before he poked it, Yan Yinyue had already grabbed his hand, pulled him aside, and then lay down on the couch by herself.

Lu Xiaofeng staggered unexpectedly, and when he was wondering what was going on, Hua Manlou said again: "You have occupied the throne that belongs to Xiaoyan, she is not happy for a while."

Lu Xiaofeng looked over to Huamanlou, and found that he was putting away the books by category. With a cursory glance, they were basically military books, and it was obvious who they were prepared for. Then he realized what Huamanlou said, and suddenly felt a little Can't laugh or cry: "Isn't it just a recliner? Since you don't like me occupying it, you can wake me up in advance."

Yan Yinyue was shaking the rocking chair, looking out the window, ignoring him.

Hua Manlou didn't even look at him, and just concentrated on sorting out the books: "Is Xiaoyan such an ignorant person—I was sleepy early in the morning, and you drove all night last night? There is a guest room downstairs, do you want to go there and rest?"

So Xiaoyan actually cared that I was too tired and didn't call me up?Lu Xiaofeng was startled, and then couldn't help laughing: "No need. Actually, Xiaoyan's rocking chair is too comfortable to lie down on - Xiaoyan knows how to choose a place, and looking down from here, you can just see the flowers you put on the balcony on the second floor. , quite nice..."

Lu Xiaofeng was talking to Yan Yinyue, and Yan Yinyue was facing the window, neither of them noticed that Hua Manlou suddenly turned his head and looked over after hearing these words, his gentle eyes were thoughtful——

He never knew why Xiaoyan was so fond of this position before, but now—Xiaoyan is not interested in these flowers and plants, so what she wants to look at when she sits here is never the flowers and plants she tends , but instead...

As if being scalded, Hua Manlou quickly looked away, but unconsciously clenched the book of war in his hand.

There seemed to be a lot of books that needed to be sorted out. Although Lu Xiaofeng came to visit Huamanlou's new house and asked him for a drink by the way, but Huamanlou was busy with business, so he would not rush, so he simply sat down on the thick blanket on the ground, Talking about Jianghu affairs: "...Have you guys heard about the public recruitment of apprentices by Li Tanhua in Taiyuan?"

"Recruiting apprentices?" Hua Manlou was puzzled.

"It's strange. This apprenticeship is based on fate. This is the first time I've heard of recruiting apprentices."

Hua Manlou nodded, and said again: "However, Xiao Li Feidao is a unique talent in the world. To find a successor for this unique skill, Li Tanhua should be more cautious."

"No." Lu Xiaofeng waved his hands, lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Li Tanhua is not looking for an apprentice for himself...Hua Manlou, do you still remember the 'Thousand-Mian Gongzi' who followed Daxia Shen and his wife to hide in the East China Sea?"

Hua Manlou immediately said: "You mean Wang Lian, Senior Kao?"

"It's him." Lu Xiaofeng showed a look of admiration on his face: "It's a pity that Senior Wang just retired when we set foot in Jianghu. Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and even medical disguise...these are the skills that a person who is proficient in is enough to gain a foothold in the Jianghu, and he not only knows all of them, but also is very proficient."

Hua Manlou guessed, "So Li Tanhua's choice of apprentice this time has something to do with Senior Wang?"

"To be precise, it is related to "The Treasure of Lianhua."

""The Treasure of Lianhua"? Could it be..."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "That's right, it's the secret book that Senior Wang devoted all his life to..."

Hua Manlou asked inexplicably, "Is that cheat book in the hands of Li Tanhua now?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "Senior Wang handed it over to Li Tanhua for safekeeping before he traveled overseas—to be precise, Mrs. Li, who was Miss Lin at the time, handed it over to him, and asked him to find a good-hearted and talented successor on his behalf. .”

Hua Manlou couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Such a peerless secret book, I'm afraid it will cause another bloody storm in the world."

At this time, Yan Yinyue spoke slowly: "It's okay, Huamanlou, if this cheat book causes a bloodbath, our Cangyun Army has the right to confiscate it."
