When Lu Xiaofeng finally met Huo Xiu, the owner of the pair of "hands" that had been hiding behind him all this time, the setting sun had gradually fallen into the horizon. It was given to the crescent moon that climbed up the tip of the willow at some point.

The sky is not dark and the moon is not bright.

Lu Xiaofeng and Huo Xiu stood facing each other, one was inside the iron cage that Zhu Ting participated in making, and the other was outside the iron cage.

The one in the cage was Huo Xiu who thought he could handle Lu Xiaofeng, but he got it instead, and the one outside the cage was Lu Xiaofeng who obviously solved the trouble but didn't see any joy on his face.

"Huo Xiu, I really didn't expect it to be you." With an elbow on Zhu Ting's shoulder, Lu Xiaofeng stood crookedly, trying to show that he didn't care, "Why did you do this? Is it worth it?"

"Why?" Repeating Lu Xiaofeng's question, Huo Xiu, who was trapped in the cage, suddenly put away his expression of embarrassment and smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, as if he had turned back into the person who once invited Lu Xiaofeng to drink with a smile Boss Huo smiled lightly at Lu Xiaofeng, "Does this still need a reason?"

"I want to be rich, and I want to have a lot of money... Isn't this reason enough?"

Huo Xiu sat down cross-legged, and smiled at Lu Xiaofeng calmly and fearlessly.

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

After realizing that Huo Xiu still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, Lu Xiaofeng, who knew that he had lost a friend, took a deep breath and closed his eyes fiercely.

When he opened his eyes again, all the emotions caused by Huo Xiu's existence disappeared from his eyes, and Lu Xiaofeng returned to his usual carefree appearance. He even had the leisure to smile and question Zhu Ting, "Boss Zhu, you Are you sure your iron cage is really strong?"

Zhu Ting dodged to one side, letting Lu Xiaofeng's elbow resting on his shoulder fall into the air, "Lu Xiaofeng, you can question my inability, but you can't question my craftsmanship!"

Seeing that Zhu Ting was offended by his own words, Lu Xiaofeng touched his beard that had finally grown completely uncomfortably, clenched his hand into a fist and pressed it to his lips and coughed lightly, then moved to Zhu Ting's side, put his hand on On the shoulder of the other party, he hugged him directly and apologized to him sincerely.

Under Lu Xiaofeng's deliberate flattery, Zhu Ting, who was fully satisfied with his vanity, cleared his throat and chose to forgive Lu Xiaofeng.

The relationship between the two has returned to the original "brother and brother" state.

Putting his hand on Zhu Ting's shoulder, Lu Xiaofeng looked down at Huo Xiu who was sitting cross-legged in the iron cage, his expression was so calm that he couldn't see what he was thinking at the moment. He sighed again, but smiled so hard that his eyes were crooked. Get up, "If that's the case, then spend the rest of your life holding your money here."

Holding Zhu Ting's shoulders, leaving Huo Xiu to Shangguan Xue'er, Lu Xiaofeng turned around and walked out with Zhu Ting.

Lu Xiaofeng, who solved a big problem, lost a friend, but still felt relieved.However, unexpectedly, when he opened the door with the smile on his face still undiminished, the crescent moon hanging on the tip of the willow shone light in. At the same time, Lu Xiaofeng also saw a man wearing a bamboo hat, and the man standing behind him. Officers and soldiers.

With a stiff expression, Lu Xiaofeng subconsciously put down the hand on Zhu Ting's shoulder, "Are you...?"

The man wearing the bamboo hat lightly lifted the hat, exposing his face to Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, and at the same time took out the token in his arms, so that Lu Xiaofeng could clearly see the words on the token.

"Six doors are working, please avoid."

After blinking, Lu Xiaofeng subconsciously looked back.

The gentle moonlight shone in, but it couldn't fully penetrate into the corridor behind him, and even illuminated Huo Xiu who was behind him who was far away from him... No matter how hard he tried to look back, he could only hear Shangguan Xue'er's shadowy voice made Huo Xiu completely invisible.

Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Xiaofeng turned his head around, and looked at the man in front of him who was about to force his way before he was going to give way, Lu Xiaofeng, who was not smiling anymore, made a serious face, "It's about Jianghu, it's about Jianghu."

The man standing in front of Lu Xiaofeng supported the bamboo hat, raised his eyes and looked at Lu Xiaofeng expressionlessly, his lower lip was slightly drawn, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "In the territory of the Dahua Dynasty, you want to restore the country and call yourself king Calling the princess... who gave them the courage?"

"The Great Gold Medal Dynasty has perished, and the rest is beyond your control, Lu Xiaofeng." Pressing down on the bamboo hat, the man took out the gloves from his arms, and slowly put them on.

The man's movements were very slow, but with an inexplicable oppression.

Jianghu affairs are naturally Jianghu matters, but the matter of King Jinpeng has not only involved Jianghu.

Standing beside Lu Xiaofeng, Zhu Ting swallowed, silently stepped aside, and tugged at Lu Xiaofeng's sleeve.

Lu Xiaofeng who had his sleeves pulled lightly glanced at Zhu Ting, and after the other party subconsciously let go of the hand pulling his sleeves, he lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment, then retreated to Zhu Ting's side, giving the man in the bamboo hat and him The officers and soldiers behind gave way.

After the man and all the officers and soldiers he brought went in, Lu Xiaofeng put his arms around Zhu Ting's shoulders, and led him outside, not intending to find out what would happen after they left.

Being led forward by Lu Xiaofeng, Zhu Ting couldn't help but look back from time to time, but in the end Lu Xiaofeng always hooked his head back.Unbearable, Zhu Ting directly shook off Lu Xiaofeng's hand on his shoulder, "Lu Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?"

After a pause, Lu Xiaofeng pursed his lower lip lightly, "It's nothing, I just don't want to see Huo Xiu's fate with my own eyes." To add insult to injury.

Lu Xiaofeng's reaction at this moment made Zhu Ting wonder about the identity of the person who just entered, after all, even if the other person came from six doors, Lu Xiaofeng shouldn't have backed down so quickly, "Who was that man wearing the hat just now? "

"Tie Youxia."

"kindness?"

Lu Xiaofeng stroked the beard around his lips, "You may be more familiar with his other identity - 'Second Master'."

"The iron hand who lifted ten thousand catties of copper wall to resist the flood and save the people?"

"Yes."

After figuring out who the man wearing the bamboo hat was, Zhu Ting also understood why Lu Xiaofeng backed down so quickly just now. Facing the iron hand who was known for his uprightness among the four famous arresters, no amount of effort could survive the iron hand. The persistence of the hand, so there is no need to waste energy.

What's more, everything was Huo Xiu's own fault.

Lu Xiaofeng understood this, but——

How did the six doors get the news?How did Iron Hand get the news?

These two questions, when Lu Xiaofeng sat across from Duanmurong again, and took the tea that Tang Shiqi handed over again, Duanmurong, who was also holding a cup of tea, gave the other party the answer lightly.

"I sent the message." After completing the conditioning of the "Great Jinpeng King" and before Lu Xiaofeng went to see Huo Xiu, Duanmu Rong sent the message to the six doors and Tie Shou who happened to be nearby.

Lu Xiaofeng: "...???!!!"

Standing up abruptly, the teacup in Lu Xiaofeng's hand fell to the ground, and the splashed tea wet his boots, so he didn't care, he stared at Duanmurong tightly, without blinking, "Yes The message you delivered?"

Tang Shiqi on one side picked up the fragments of the tea cup that Lu Xiaofeng dropped on the ground, and sighed helplessly at him, "Didn't I hand you a cup of lotus heart tea with Coptis chinensis last time? Do you treat the tea I serve you like this? I didn’t put anything in it this time, it’s just an ordinary cup of tea.”

Tang Shiqi tried in vain to ease the atmosphere by "gaggling" (?), but unfortunately Lu Xiaofeng didn't even look at him, he never took his eyes off Duanmu Rong, and even looked at her again with a serious face. Asked again, "The message you delivered? Why did you do this?"

Under Lu Xiaofeng's scorching gaze, Duanmu Rong raised her eyes and looked back with a calm but fearless face, "I sent the news, so what?"

"Do you think I'm doing it wrong?" Tilting her head, Duanmu Rong slightly hooked her lower lip, "Lu Xiaofeng, you're moved by an old man's persistence for so many years and he doesn't hesitate to run around for him, but have you ever thought about—— Is he right to do these things on Huachao's territory?"

"As a member of the Great Hua Dynasty, Lu Xiaofeng, do you think you did the right thing?"

Facing Duanmu Rong's rhetorical question, Lu Xiaofeng was rarely silent.

Looking away, Duanmu Rong lowered his eyes and took a sip of the tea in the cup, and praised Tang Shiqi beside him in a low voice, "The tea is well brewed, much better than your brother."

To Duan Murong's praise, Tang Shiqi first smiled back at her, then his eyes widened suddenly, "Do you know Tang Ying?!"

Before Tang Shiqi couldn't help standing up, Duanmu Rong grabbed the opponent's sleeve first, avoiding Tang Shiqi's situation like Lu Xiaofeng's - knocking over the teacup - after that, she let go of her hand and confronted each other in a leisurely manner. Tang Shiqi smiled, "I asked you to take my order at first because you are Tang Ying's younger brother."

"Don't mention him to me! I'm not his brother!"

Tang Shiqi usually looks like he doesn't care about anything, but when it comes to Tang Ying, he looks like a cat with its hair blown.

Blinking her eyes, realizing that Tang Shiqi really didn't want to see Tang Ying, rather than because of her own awkward thoughts, Duanmurong, who realized that she had said something she shouldn't have said, put down the tea in her hand and hurriedly said to Tang Shiqi Sorry.

By the time Duanmu Rong finished the cat for Tang Shiqishun, the tea on the table was completely cold.And Lu Xiaofeng who had been standing quietly on the side and fell into his own world sat down, he didn't know what he had figured out, he no longer had a solemn face, expressed his apology to Duanmurong, and thanked her at the same time.

Although she didn't know what she had done to deserve Lu Xiaofeng's thanks, Duan Murong still accepted the other party's thanks with a calm face.

"You're welcome, as long as I can help you."

...

After everything was settled, Lu Xiaofeng, in his own name, invited his friends who had helped him solve his troubles to have a meal.

Apart from Ximen Chuixue, Huamanlou, Sikong Zhaixing, and Duanmurong, the ones who accepted the appointment.

Tang Shiqi, who was also invited, was too busy to accept the task, and to trouble Tang Ying who happened to be returning to the Tang Sect, so he directly rejected Lu Xiaofeng's invitation.

Because Tang Shiqi's reason for refusal was too legitimate, and the other party didn't seem to choose to refuse because he didn't like Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, who thought he had a special way of making friends, didn't take Tang Shiqi's refusal at all.

At the dinner table, Duan Murong finally met Ximen Chuuxue who often appeared in the rumors of the Jianghu for so many years, and more often appeared in the letters Zhao Youheng wrote to her.

Sitting next to Hua Manlou, looking at Ximen Chuuxue who slightly bent the corner of his mouth because Lu Xiaofeng beside him said something, Duanmu Rong tilted his head, "Are you Ximen Chuuxue?"

After the words fell, not only Ximen Chuuxue, who was stared at by her, but Lu Xiaofeng also looked over, and even Hua Manlou beside her opened his dull eyes and looked at her.

Not knowing what Tang Shiqi had done, Duanmu Rong couldn't help but blinked when he was stunned by everyone's gaze, "Why are you all looking at me so strangely?" Even Zhao Youheng's letter What he said was colder than ice, and when Ximen Chuuxue, who was completely unpopular, was looking at her, Duanmurong felt the complex and indistinguishable emotions that the other party produced when looking at him.

what happened?

Did she say anything serious?
