[Comprehensive martial arts] Thief plan

Xie Ling was a little worried.

It might not be a big deal to others to live in such a rich man's house, but it was still quite embarrassing to her.She wondered if she should do something to express her gratitude, but she has nothing but cooking skills, and a rich family like the Hua family might look down on her cooking?

Huamanlou remembered the relationship she had mentioned with her elder brother, and the next day received a letter from her elder brother who was an official in Jinling, and even came to tell her that her elder brother would be back in ten days.

"Speaking of which, what's your elder brother's name?" Xie Ling was curious.

"Xiyun first rose and the sun sank to the pavilion, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building." Hua Manlou smiled, "My elder brother is called Huaxiyun."

After asking about the names of the others, Xie Ling really wanted to say, Mr. Hua, you named your son to save trouble, right? Seven sons can be solved with only one poem? !

But regardless of these for the time being, Xie Ling was very happy when she finally had the chance to see her benefactor again, although she was not sure whether the other party still remembered her who was rescued by him five years ago.

In the past two days, Leng Xue came very frequently, most of them came to find Chu Liuxiang.

Although Xie Ling couldn't imagine the picture of these two people, one official and one thief, cooperating seamlessly, it did happen and appeared.After all, the case is closely related to her safety, so while working as a rice bug, she still often asks Chu Liuxiang how the investigation is going.

Chu Liuxiang didn't hide it from her, "Master Leng found out that those assassins have nothing to do with Wang Yuanwai and those water bandits, so I'm afraid they won't be safe for a while."

"...A Xing and I can't spend the New Year here." Xie Ling broke down, "I've already disturbed Master Hua so much."

"Miss Xie, just think about the innocent people who died tragically." He comforted, "This matter must be resolved, and so many people have been turned into it, if you and Ah Xing are turned into it again, don't say it's me , Mr. Leng will also blame himself."

What he said was indeed reasonable, Xie Ling could only pull the corners of her mouth into a forced smile, "I understand."

"Miss Xie, you don't have to think too much." Chu Liuxiang has always been an expert at reading people's hearts. From her expression, she has already guessed that the source of her anxiety is that she doesn't want to owe the Hua family too much favor.

He originally wanted to comfort her that even if Hua Ruling only cared about Chu Liuxiang, she would sincerely welcome their siblings to stay with her, but the words seemed to be threatening to repay her kindness. No matter how much she thought about it, Chu Liuxiang still didn't say anything.

When he first observed Xie Ling from a distance in the market and went up to ask questions, he had guessed that this girl was not simple, but after getting acquainted with her, he realized that she couldn't be more simple.

She just wanted his brother to live well, and the rest, including whether she was happy or not, were not so important to her.

There are actually some clues about the murder case.According to the cold-blooded investigation, the person who sent the assassin was probably a big customer of the water bandits.

But if you look further down, it seems that all the clues are behind the fog, and you can't get rid of them no matter what.

Chu Liuxiang thought about going to Jinling to see it in person, but was stopped by Leng Xue.

The Huafu is heavily guarded, but in the end there are still no real top experts guarding it. It is not impossible for someone who doesn't notice to sneak in and take Xie Ling away without anyone noticing.

"Master Leng is right." Chu Liuxiang frowned and nodded, and suddenly remembered what Hu Tiehua said when he left Jinling, and said, "If Master Leng needs help, you can go to the mountain temple at the foot of Zijin Mountain to find someone." Drunkard, just say—just say old bedbug sent you."

Cold-blooded raised his eyebrows in response, "Okay."

After he left for Jinling, Chu Liuxiang also had a lot more idle time every day.

Xie Xing, who had already "disappeared", began to go to him secretly every night, pestering him to teach him more skills so that he could keep his sister safe as soon as possible.

Of course Chu Liuxiang readily agreed, "What if your sister is not happy?"

Xie Xing cried, "It's okay if you don't like it. At most, I will skip a few meals, and she won't want to part with it."

This clever ghost really knows Xie Ling better than anyone else, he is really his own sibling.

But thinking that Xie Ling was only a little relieved about this matter, Chu Liuxiang hesitated for a while and decided to let go of what he had taught before, and first teach Xie Xing how to save his life in a dangerous situation.

To do this, the most important thing is to have enough light work.Xie Xing has a unique advantage in this, so he is not worried.

He practiced hard at night, and naturally dozed off during the day with Huamanlou in class. It was hard for Huamanlou to know his behavior clearly but did not tell Xie Ling, and occasionally Xie Ling would speak nice words for him when asked.

If such kind words came from Lu Xiaofeng's mouth, Xie Ling might still feel that it was not credible enough, but seeing the kindness and purity on Hua Manlou's face, she couldn't have any doubts at all.

After three or four days like this, Xie Ling suddenly remembered that the handkerchief that Chu Liuxiang lent her was still on her bedside.

She asked the maid in Hua Mansion for water and saponins, and the maid Hua Manlou sent over to take care of her was still surprised, "If you want to do laundry, just leave it to me."

Xie Ling thought about it, but still refused, "No, it's not considered clothing."

The handkerchief was embroidered with blue irises, the stitches were fine and delicate, and Xie Ling guessed it was given by one of his confidante while washing it.

To be honest, after getting in touch with Chu Liuxiang a lot, she finally understood a little bit why so many women fell in love with him. After all, he was really considerate and funny, he had a pace of advance and retreat and understood people's hearts.

Although she only wiped her tears with this handkerchief, Xie Ling still washed her eyes very seriously.

It's a pity that the weather is not good, and it takes almost two days to dry it.

Chu Liuxiang lived in a wing room on the left. After the veil was dried, Xie Ling thought about it and decided to return it quickly, so she asked the maid to help push the wheelchair to take her there.

The maids already knew that the person living in the left wing room was Chu Liuxiang, the famous bandit commander in the world, and it would be nice to have a chance to get a closer look, so the promise was very refreshing.

Xie Ling looked at the blush on the face of the girl in pink, and then at the square handkerchief in her hand, and couldn't help feeling that this person is really a disaster for a generation.

To her surprise, Chu Liuxiang was not there.

Fortunately, there are not many other things in the Hua family, but there are many servants. Xie Ling caught a maid who was serving here and asked him where he was. The maid replied respectfully: "Someone just came to find Mr. Chu. went."

Xie Ling thanked her, wondering if she was cold-blooded?

But didn't Chu Liuxiang say that he went to Jinling?

The person who came was indeed not Leng Xue, but Chu Liuxiang and Leng Xue said that if there is anything that needs help, you can go to Hu Tiehua at the foot of Zijin Mountain.

He didn't expect Hu Tiehua to come, he was very surprised.

"Old bug, you haven't checked it out for so long?" Hu Tiehua is addicted to alcohol. When he found him in the morning, he drank half a gourd of wine. Seeing that he was eating and drinking at Hua's house, his eyes were wide open. , the tone changed, "Isn't it because I encountered something——"

Chu Liuxiang grew up with him, and the other party knew exactly what to say as soon as he frowned, let alone half-spoken, but this time Hu Tiehua was really wrong, "Things are more complicated than I imagined, and six fans The door also intervened."

"Six doors? What can they do?" Hu Tiehua disagreed.

"You can't say that." Chu Liuxiang retorted, "It depends on who they are asking to intervene."

"The whole six doors, the only one who can do something..." Halfway through the speech, he suddenly felt blessed, "...they asked that cold-blooded person to investigate this matter?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded, "That's him."

Just as Hu Tiehua wanted to feel that this was a big deal, he saw a girl in pink pushing a wheelchair towards them. He subconsciously poked Chu Liuxiang who was pouring wine with his elbow, "Looking for you?"

Chu Liuxiang turned her head just now, met Xie Ling's curious eyes, paused her hands, and asked, "Why is Miss Xie here?"

Xie Ling took a look at the person who was staring at her intently, and felt that her hairs were about to stand on end, but everyone was here, so it would be a waste of time to make a trip, so she reached out and handed the handkerchief, "Wash it up." Yes, pay you back."

Chu Liuxiang had already forgotten about this, but she only remembered it when she took it, so she could only smile and say, "Thank you, miss."

"Who is this?" Hu Tiehua suddenly asked him.

He hesitated for a moment, "This is Miss Xie who sells those institutions."

Hu Tiehua's eyes widened, and he blurted out: "No way?!"

"It's me, but I didn't make the things." Xie Ling took the initiative to answer, "So it's thanks to Xiang Shuai recently."

"You didn't do it?" Hu Tiehua was puzzled, "Who is that?"

Xie Ling didn't know him. Although he was very familiar with Chu Liuxiang when they talked, she couldn't rest assured, she just shrugged, "A friend did it."

In the end, Chu Liuxiang introduced to her that this was his good brother, and he was entrusted by this person to investigate the case.

Xie Ling nodded thoughtfully, "I see."

After Hu Tiehua learned that Chu Liuxiang was protecting her or that she hurt her foot, she slapped the table and laughed for a long time, and said that you have today, old bug.

Xie Ling saw that the two of them seemed to have something to talk about, so they left without saying a few words, but still heard Hu Tiehua laughing behind him and asked Chu Liuxiang, "To be honest, is this girl also yours— —”

The second half of the sentence was promptly interrupted by Chu Liuxiang, "Don't talk nonsense."

The maid had already pushed Xie Ling out of the garden, so she did not hear the next conversation between the two.

Hu Tiehua naturally didn't believe it. He was used to Chu Liuxiang going to a place to form a relationship. Now that Chu Liuxiang denied it, he was full of surprise, "Really?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why should I lie to you?"

"The one who borrowed the handkerchief to return the handkerchief, isn't it?" Hu Tiehua was still dubious.

Hearing what he said, Chu Liuxiang pondered seriously for a moment, "I just don't like seeing pretty girls cry."

Hu Tiehua grew up with him, and it can be seen from his expression that he is not talking nonsense with him, but this matter is really novel to Chu Liuxiang, "It's not like you."

"What's different?" Chu Liuxiang clearly knew what he was referring to, but still pulled it in another direction, "I've always pitied fragrance and cherished jade."

Even if he said so, Hu Tiehua still felt that something was wrong, but just now, seeing Xie Ling and Chu Liuxiang getting along, it seemed that there was indeed no ambiguity.

However, Chu Liuxiang was always more experienced than him in this kind of matter, so he had no reason to worry that Chu Liuxiang would not handle it well. Thinking of this, he didn't bother to ask any more questions, and continued to drink with his old friend.

Because Xie Ling had promised not to tell others, Chu Liuxiang did not mention Hu Tiehua's own apprenticeship, and the two chatted about the organ case again. Hu Tiehua was full of curiosity about Leng Xue, and kept asking him whether the rumored god arrester was really so powerful .

Chu Liuxiang regretfully said: "You might have a chance to meet him, but I thought you were still in Jinling, so if he needs help, he can go to you."

"That's really unfortunate. He came and walked behind me."

"There is always a chance. He won't stay in Jinling for too long. He will come back after many years at most." Chu Liuxiang sighed, "It's not just him. I was in Yangzhou recently and I saw Jiang Xiaoyu."

"Jiang Xiaoyu?!" Hu Tiehua was even more surprised, "Didn't he disappear for a long time?"

"Yeah, this water town in the south of the Yangtze River is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of his apprentice's friend, and smiled, "Jiang Xiaoyu has taken in a very interesting apprentice. There must be a lot to do.”

"It's extraordinary to get such an evaluation from you?"

"That's natural."
