When a person finally decides to reveal his heart and confess everything to another person he has admired for a long time, he sees a man of the opposite sex who only wears tulle and holds a whip hidden in the room of this object. What would be your reaction?
Especially this person, when this rival in love who appeared inexplicably asked him why he knocked on the door and entered without waiting for a response, what would his reaction be when he was so ignorant of etiquette?
Mo Qi's reaction was that his eyes immediately turned red, so red that he could bleed.
——Looks like yesterday was a light punishment in the underground palace!
——The punishment is light! !
Actually went back to the house, and still have the energy to find——
Mo Qi has kept himself and kept the etiquette for more than twenty years, but he can't even say the three words "looking for a woman" incoherently in his heart.
Sharman looked coldly at the tall and silent man in a black cloak in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When she was on Wuming Island, Wu Ming whispered in her ear every day that the ninth son was covered by a little white-faced Taoist, and he actually accompanied that Taoist to solve the case all over the world.
Shaman originally thought that the "little white-faced Taoist" in Wu Ming's mouth would be a man with a particularly handsome face and a slender figure, but now he sees...
What is this "little" white face? ?
Tall as Shaman, he had to raise his head with difficulty to see the face of Mo Qi who was standing upright.
She thought hesitantly: This person's height...is he probably taller than Young Master Jiu?At least half a head taller?
This face is also more profound and masculine than the ninth son... Look at this perfect and strong physique like a god's mansion... and look at this domineering and domineering aura that cannot be provoked...
Shaman realized belatedly that he seemed to have misplaced this "little white-faced Taoist", and seemed to have accidentally picked up the tiger's beard.
Because this Taoist priest doesn't look as serious and restrained as Wu Ming said at all. On the contrary, anyone who sees the Taoist priest's blood-red eyes, expressionless face, and violence and anger at this time will not think This man is a decent man.The jet-black hair was lifted by the violent internal force, and the electric sparks flashed between the friction and impact of the chaotic internal force, and the cruel red eyes were like an evil god standing in the black mud, ready to swallow people up at any time. Or a tyrant who looks at the world struggling and sinking with a half smile but not a smile.
Sharman took a step back.
She came today, indeed, to demonstrate.
But that's based on the premise that this little boy is a decent guy with little talent and is always bound by old rules and regulations.Relying on the integrity of the famous family, he would probably not attack a woman, and he would not have the face to destroy the original partner's emotional character. Shaman is confident that even if this little boy is furious, he will not have the face to attack her, and in anger, he will make a clean break with Gong Jiu, sadly Get out of this love war.
But now... Sharman began to think about quitting.
Don't talk about a woman, the original match... The man in the black cloak in front of him has a cruel and tyrannical look on his face, as if he dared to tear her alive if she dared to speak.
Sharman wants to live.Think more than anyone else.Otherwise, she wouldn't have traveled all the way to Mo Qi to demonstrate because she was worried about losing Gong Jiu's backer.
So, at this moment, Sharman chose to retreat.
But she fell on the first step of retreat.
The terrifying internal force that made her limbs stiff and tingling crushed hard, like a sea wave with a needle in it, easily crushing her to her knees on the ground.
The man stood at a distance with his arms folded, as if his black cloak would be stained even if he approached her. ……say what?"
Shaman only felt that the skin all over his body was in pain like a pinprick, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he opened his mouth, it felt like swallowing a needle, and even his internal organs ached. After a while, he was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
She could no longer be arrogant, and she realized that if she didn't show weakness, she might not be able to leave Liangzhou alive.So she softened her eyes, raised her head and looked at Mo Qi pleadingly, a pair of cat pupils that were usually lazily proud and careless were filled with a thin layer of mist, looking lovely and charming.
However, no matter how charming she is, it can't obliterate the fact that this woman appeared in Gong Jiu's bedroom wearing only a light veil and carrying a long whip.
Only wearing light gauze!Still carrying a long whip!In the middle of the night in Gong Jiu's bedroom!
listen!listen!
Mo Qi's hand trembled with anger, the porcelain jar in his palm had already been crushed into powder by internal force, the medicine powder and the powder of the porcelain jar were mixed together, and fell from his fingertips.It's as if Gong Jiu, the hateful guy who always makes him unpredictable and slippery, the more he wants to protect, the more he challenges his patience, but when he finally breaks his fortress and is about to step out to When he took a step forward, Gong Jiu gave him such a big gift.
Fortunately, he still felt that he had gone too far with Gong Jiu in the underground palace, thinking of giving Gong Jiuzhi the wound on his lip with the wound medicine——too much!Look at this woman!In the middle of the night!Dressed like this, and holding a whip in Gong Jiu's bedroom!Maybe when he treasured Gong Jiu and didn't dare to touch and hurt Gong Jiu at will, Gong Jiu had already——
Mo Qi forcibly kicked out the horrific imagining of Gong Jiu rolling with a woman out of his mind, but the anger and jealousy burning in his heart couldn't be kicked out, it kept burning in his heart and in his head over and over again. Adding fuel to it made his already violent internal force even more chaotic and fierce.
Every obsession is based on his existing internal strength.At this time, Mo Qi's internal strength has already been greatly accomplished, and the madness at this time is no longer something ordinary people can bear.When he was with Gong Jiu before, Mo Qi still held back a bit, but now he saw Shaman who appeared as a hostess and even questioned him, how could he hold back?
Can an obsessed person still think about reasoning?If he can't tear Shaman alive now, he is already very restrained!
Shaman's body, face, neck and other vital points have already been scratched by the sharp invisible internal force like a knife, and many shallow blood marks have been cut, but those frenzied internal forces have always remained only a thin line from the ruthless hand.
The shallow streaks of blood seemed to be teasing her, which made Shaman even more frightened. He only felt that death was only a small step away from him. He was busy swallowing the pain like a needle, and he said hoarsely : "Dao... Taoist priest, this Taoist priest, please let the little girl go, the little girl is also forced to do nothing!"
The ink qi is about to explode.
Forced to help? !
This woman is not only the beauty of Gong Jiu Jinwu Zang, but also forced to be hidden by Gong Jiu himself? !
It wasn't the first time that Sharman played weak and innocent, and told the whole little story he had made up before the other party's eyes were really about to burst into flames with anger.The general meaning is that I am a poor woman who was persecuted by her family and bought a brothel. She has no skills. What I wished for was persecuted by the Ninth Young Master and the island owner!
Mo Qi was furious, but his rationality told him that if Shaman was really so innocent, he wouldn't have put on such an arrogant and indifferent look at the beginning.
but!so what? !
Shaman will know Gong Jiu's habit, and the leather whip in his hand is obviously used frequently, so it is so shiny, and Gong Jiu is so active when he first sees it. How could Mo Qi have never imagined that the one who satisfied Gong Jiu's masochistic desire before him was Shaman? !
Thinking that Gong Jiu was so distraught, sobbing, with tears in the corners of his eyes when he got sick, and was seen by another person, Mo Qiqi was about to burst into anger.
——No, no, no.
Maybe before Shaman, there are other people who have seen it. After all, according to Shaman, she was not always with Gong Jiu. Before her, there must be others——
Mo Qi only felt that the thick vinegar was about to acidify his whole body: "Have you ever touched him?!"
The electric sparks caused by the collision and friction of the messy internal force became even more terrifying, and the internal force applied to Shaman almost crushed her bones.
Mo Qi felt that the top of his head was faintly green, the green was rich, and the green was luminous, even the crackling electric lights around his body should be green!
Shaman was terrified, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what Mo Qi was asking, and hurriedly shouted: "No! No! Ninth Young Master doesn't like people touching him directly!"
Mo Qi said coldly: "You came to him tonight, did you take the initiative, or did he request it?"
Shaman: "..." Of course she took the initiative, but she definitely couldn't say that, "It was requested by the ninth son!"
Shaman trembled all over, and secretly scolded Wu Ming for causing her such misfortune. The one Gong Jiu was looking for was not a bad boy, he was clearly a big tyrant!If she was killed like this, even if she became a ghost, she would definitely not let Wu Ming go!
Mo Qi: "Oh."
Mo Qi moved away from the body blocking the door: "You can go."
The internal force was withdrawn from Shaman, Shaman didn't adapt for a while, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground, looking at Mo Qi vigilantly, afraid of seeing something in the other's eyes, "The moment she stepped out of the door, she chopped this Bitch, "Don't dirty Ah Jiu's bedroom" and other expressions, but except for those eyes that were as red as blood, she couldn't see any expressions at all—except for those eyes that were full of horror, madness, Bloody tyranny.
Mo Qi sneered: "Why, you don't want to leave?"
Sharman got up in a hurry, and rushed out of the door as if he had fled.
When he reached the door, he happened to pass by Mo Qi.
She was suddenly locked into action by a tyrannical and domineering internal force.
Like a mouse caught by a cat, Sharman thought desperately:
It's over, he's going to kill me.
He must be killing me.
——I knew he was going to kill me!
But after waiting for a long time, the guillotine hanging around her neck never came down.The infinitely elongated time because of fear gave Sharman infinite torture. She was frightened by her own imagination, and her heart was beating wildly thinking that the other party had not moved, whether she was trying to kill her in some way, or felt that it made her feel uncomfortable. She would rather die than live, and she is more relieved——
But Mo Qi was not thinking of any way to torture her as Shaman thought.
According to the usual practice of practicing internal energy, even when he was in a rage just now, the internal energy still circulates in the meridians, and at this time, he has become accustomed to being suppressed naturally, and he has escaped the state of madness.
But Mo Qi, who had escaped from the madness, walked behind Sharman, but still did not let go of the internal force that imprisoned Sharman.He still looked at Shaman indifferently, counted three hundred heartbeats, and then withdrew his inner strength.
Shaman's legs were so frightened by the long intimidation that her legs became limp. As soon as the internal force that imprisoned her was withdrawn, she fell to the ground and gasped a few times.
In the last 30 or so heartbeats of Mo Qishu, Sharman had already started to be suffocated by his own terrifying imagination.One second before she was about to faint, Mo Qi just let go of her control.
She crawled on the icy ground with her arms shaking, but she was extremely happy, as if she had gotten a new life by luck.
Mo Qi's voice sounded from not far behind her, still cold and restrained: "Don't let me see you again." He paused, then added with jealousy, "Don't let Ah Jiu see you again."
He specially changed the title of "Ajiu".
It was almost the same as Sharman who was standing in the Ninth Palace before, trying to swear an oath of sovereignty.
Shaman quickly got up from the ground: "Yes, yes! If the little girl violates the words of the Taoist priest, I am willing to let the Taoist priest deal with it!"
What a joke, she doesn't want to die so unjustly, she must hide far away in the future, she would rather hide in Xixia and Liao Kingdom, and don't meet Gong Jiumoqi again.
Anyway, the men in Xixia and Liao are the same, there is no difference.
Shaman quickly finalized the itinerary in his mind, and deeply etched the words "avoid and stay away" into his mind.
She never wanted to endure the mental torture and extreme fear just now.
Mo Qi stared at Shaman, and said in a low voice, "Go."
Shaman automatically translated Mo Qi into "roll" in his mind, hurriedly stumbled out, and escaped at the fastest speed in his life.
Mo Qi stood by the door, his face gloomy and motionless in the shadows, like a stone sculpture.
He stood for a while, really upset.Especially the scent of flowers in this room made him feel as if his territory was stained with other smells, so he walked into the room and pushed open the wooden window of the palace.
The starlight shines on Gong Jiu's bedside through the window, forming a patch of high and low shadows.
Mo Qi didn't pay much attention, and turned to leave.His eyes just passed over the low cabinet: "..."
A row of cylindrical utensils, exactly the same as the jade pillars seen in the Fuguo General's Mansion of the Liao State at that time, were neatly arranged on the low cabinet.The jade pillars are not all of the same color, there are three pieces of white jade and two pieces of dark green jade, and the two thickest ones are actually made of dark black ink jade.There is also a label under the jade pillar, which says the order of "one, two, three, four".
In front of the jade pillar are two leather whips.One is fluffy, like an animal's tail, and the other is a well-maintained shiny, strong and tough snakeskin whip.
Further on, there is a row of joss sticks.The different scents and sequences are carefully marked below, and even under the two incense candles marked with one, there is a label full of words.Mo Qi forced himself to pick it up calmly and looked at it, and within a short breath, the little paper was crushed to pieces by internal force.
It said: "Hold it the first two times, let the Taoist priest try the third time..."
Mo Qi looked at the incense candle indifferently.
His hands were hanging by his sides, already clenched.
But when he stretched out his hand again, he didn't break those sinister candles, but picked up another row of small jars neatly placed in front of the candles.
From left to right, numbers are also marked on them. The smell, the strength of the stimulation are written on it, and even how to persuade the Taoist leader to cooperate with the attempt...
Mo Qi turned the jars with an unpredictable expression, looked at them for a long time, snorted coldly, and put the jars back again, nothing messed up.
you can.
You are very good!
Mo Qi gritted his teeth.
·
·
Early the next morning, when Gong Jiu tentatively knocked on the door of Mo Qi's room, Mo Qi had already woken up.
Not only was he awake, but he was still very sober, fully dressed, sitting at the table, motionless, even the whisk was behind him ready to go.
Mo Qi's whole body was shrouded in low air pressure, the way he looked at Gong Jiu, if not for his dark eyes, Gong Jiu would have thought he was insane again.
Mo Qi stared at Gong Jiu's lips, which had been healed as before under Gong Jiu's special mentality, and no trace could be seen.
Mo Qi: "..."
Mo Qi was silently upset again, because he couldn't even leave a mark on Gong Jiu.
But... From another perspective, such a fast healing speed is not bad.
——At least you don't have to worry about whether Gong Jiu can't bear it if you use all the things in Gong Jiu's bedroom one by one.
Mo Qi sneered in his heart.
Thinking of everything that happened in the palace yesterday, Mo Qi's eyes turned red for a moment, and then he immediately suppressed it.
He thought about it all night yesterday, and he had already forgotten about the original showdown decision.
The appearance of Sharman made him make a new decision. The original plan to remain indifferent and silent until after the March appointment regrouped and became indestructible.
As for the little things on the low cabinet, the little black books hidden in his heart that have been dead for a long time can be seen again. Last night alone, countless "crimes" of Gong Jiu were recorded, and he planned to save them until March. After the dust of the covenant is settled, the settlement will be settled with Gong Jiu one by one.
The hairs on Gong Jiu's back stood on end when Mo Qi looked at her, and she almost wanted to turn around and leave.However, Mo Qi's motionless appearance still made him feel a little lucky: maybe in the underground palace yesterday, the Taoist priest was only temporarily affected by the madness, so he suddenly became so strong. Looking at it now, the Taoist priest should be normal It looks like, I just don't know why I'm in a bad mood...
Gong Jiu didn't know that Shaman came to him without authorization last night: "Drink the soup." He walked to Mo Qi, put down the soup bowl, and then took out a jade pendant from his waist.
It was exactly the same as the one on his sword, only a different color.The piece of Shushan jade that Mo Qi prepared for him was pure white, while the jade pendant prepared by Gong Jiu for Mo Qi was dark black, full of jade fat and bright glaze, it looked calmer and more mysterious .
Mo Qi looked at the jade pendant that Gong Jiu handed to him. Every pattern on the jade pendant was the same as the nine-curved ring pendant he gave Gong Jiu, hiding a strange formation that calms the mind.
Gong Jiu pondered Mo Qi's expression, but couldn't hold back his pride and couldn't help but said: "I asked a jade craftsman to make this last night - I saw that you were in the underground palace yesterday, and you seemed to have a tendency to go mad That's why I thought of giving you this jade pendant. I should have made it myself, but I can't wait for this madness. You can just make do with this one, and wait for the one I made myself, and I will bring it to you Change this one."
Gong Jiu said again: "I won't let you wait too long!"
Mo Qi... Mo Qi was caught in a dilemma again.
According to the plan he had already made, at this time he should say "oh" to Gong Jiu indifferently, and then put the jade pendant on the table casually to show that he didn't care about it.Even he can not accept this jade pendant, after all, he is not the kind of person who needs to worry about going crazy, on the contrary, his internal strength is improving step by step by going crazy.
But... Gong Jiu is really too cunning and eloquent.
He said that he made this jade pendant for himself last night, so he must have just discovered that he seemed to be insane, so he already had this idea, and he immediately put it into action that night.
——Did you know what happened last night, so you came here to please him today?
Mo Qi froze in place, one thought after another flashed through his mind.When reason finally suppressed all these emotional thoughts and took control of his brain again, his body had already betrayed the original plan, not only took the jade pendant down, but also hung it on the whisk handle.
The snow-white whisk and the pure black jade add to the artistic conception of Taoism.
After reacting, Mo Qi stared at Yu Jue: "..."
I regret it now, and it's too late to take it off and put it aside.
Gong Jiu saw that Mo Qi didn't seem to be displeased, so he was brave enough to face the wind, and took the opportunity to get close to the snake on the pole, and said jealously: "Don't hang up! When the piece I made by myself is finished, you can put me on it again." Hang up the one you made."
Mo Qi: "..."
He took off the jade pendant stiffly.This time, according to the original plan, he put the jade pendant on the table casually.
Unexpectedly, Gong Jiu nodded with great satisfaction: "That's right, I didn't do it, and you don't need to carry it with you - just leave it like this, anyway, if you have something to do, just look at it, it's really going out , if you can’t take it with you, look at mine! Anyway, we are always together.”
Mo Qi: "..."
Tang Yuandao ran in from outside the door: "Master!"
He was holding the panda cub in his hands, and standing on his head was Que Ling who was grinding his beak with his hair crown: "Master Bao has sent a letter!"
Gong Jiu straightened up dissatisfied: "What letter?"
Tang Yuandao was dazed for a moment, skillfully hung the panda cub around his neck, and read the letter with both hands free: "Oh, Mr. Bao said that there was a big case on the Qinhuai River, and several officials and businessmen died. , suspected that it might have been done by Jianghu people, so I would like to invite Master and Prince Taiping to take a look together."
Tang Yuandao handed the letter to Mo Qi: "Master, you can read it."
When Mo Qi read the letter, Tang Yuandao said with some depression: "Master, my sect mission has failed this time, and I don't know when Grandpa Huai Xia will release me next time. Master, I will not see you again." gone."
Mo Qi put down the letter, seeing Tang Yuandao's expression was really sad, he couldn't help but softened his heart.Just as he was about to reach out and touch Tang Yuandao's head, to comfort his little apprentice and let him go to Tangjiabao to learn the art of mechanism, Tang Yuandao continued to choke and said, "Master, please don't arrange for me again this time. There are a bunch of mantras to memorize, I really can't memorize them!"
Mo Qi: "..."
The traitor cried and tugged at Mo Qi's sleeve: "I'm so stupid, I can't recite it!"
Mo Qi withdrew his sleeve indifferently: "Really, I heard from Elder Yuan You that you read all the secret scrolls in the secret room of the outer castle in just one day?"
The traitor's fake cry froze for a moment: "I...uh..."
Mo Qi put his hand on Tang Yuandao's head, and slowly showed a smile without a smile on the rebel who looked up at him: "Since my apprentice is so smart, I will naturally arrange enough for you as a teacher." It matches your homework."
Originally, he hadn't planned to force Tang Yuandao to learn those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Qihuang poisonous art, etc. After all, in Mo Qi's heart at the time, as long as he could let Tang Yuandao learn enough good mental skills and sword techniques, he would be able to With the ability to protect himself, he has paved the way for Tang Yuandao one by one in the future, so there is no need for Tang Yuandao to bother to learn these miscellaneous things.
Now it seems...it turns out that the people around him are all liars.
Mo Qi patted Tang Yuandao's head again slowly: This is a little liar.
Look at Gong Jiu at the side: this is a big liar.
Mo Qi's gaze was too unpredictable, and Tang Yuandao, who was trying to do everything possible to be lazy, hiccupped on the spot, hugged the warm panda cub in his arms, and quickly slipped away.
Gong Jiu, who was left alone, also had chills on his back, his eyes swept wildly, and seeing Mo Qi's untouched soup, he pushed the soup bowl in front of Mo Qi: "Eat the soup."
Mo Qi looked down at the pork ribs and lotus root in his bowl, took a spoon to scoop up a piece of lotus root that was finely chopped, just enough to wrap in one mouthful, put it into his mouth, looked at Gong Jiu, and chewed slowly.
Chew and bite your teeth once.Chew and bite your teeth once.
Gong Jiu inexplicably felt a dark pain in his body: "..."
...He felt that what Mo Qi was chewing was not lotus root, but his meat.
·

Lu Xiaofeng hadn't had a good night's sleep for ten days and ten nights.
His face was exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot due to lack of sleep, and his eyes were bruised and swollen, as if he had been beaten.Even the mustache, which is always carefully groomed, is scruffy.
He was lying on a flat boat on the Qinhuai River, looking at the boundless sky full of night stars and a waning moon, thinking about why he ended up in this predicament.
At first, he just asked Ximen Chuuxue for help in another shadow man case.As a result, when he climbed over the wall and entered Wanmei Villa in the middle of the night, he accidentally witnessed the scene of his friend and the resurrected Lord Ye, Mei Lin's "discussion of swords" in the middle of the night.
Then he was hunted down by Ximen Chuuxue.
Really, Lu Xiaofeng can swear with his own conscience, he really didn't intentionally appear in that place at that time.
If Ximen Chuuxue told him that his evening arrangement was to "discuss swords" with Yecheng lord Mei Lin, Lu Xiaofeng promised that he would obediently stay outside Wanmei Villa until the sun came out the next morning.
Or at least they will not climb over the wall on the side of Merlin, nor will they think that some villains have broken into Wanmei Villa when they hear some kind of panting sound that seems to be painful but also joyful, so they will plunge their head into Merlin and be foolish. Suddenly, he rushed in front of Ximen Chuuxue and City Lord Ye——
Lu Xiaofeng covered his eyes in pain.
Ximen Chuuxue hunted him down for seven consecutive days, beat him with his fists and left.But he still has to continue to investigate that case - because if he doesn't investigate, the chief guard in Bianjing will make trouble for him again!
And now he doesn't even have anyone to ask for help, because his best friend Hua Manlou is repairing his eyes, and the person who helped him heal his eyes is Wang Lianhua, who was once famous in the world, and Wang Lianhua together The leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Dongfang Bubai, accompanied her to Hua's house.
Regardless of the fact that he would never disturb his friend when he was healing his eyes, if he dared to instigate Hua Manlou to go out at this moment, what he would face would not be Ximen Chuuxue's punches, but Wang Lianhua's. And Dongfang Bubai - even the pursuit of the Sun Moon God Sect.
It is said that Wang Lianhua was invited by Mo Daoxian to treat Huamanlou.Because Wang Lianhua has a safer and more acceptable treatment method than changing eyes.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly paused.
Mo Daoxian... that's right!Immortal Mo!
He suddenly slapped his thigh, jumped up from the boat, laughed silently for a while, and thought excitedly: I have found someone who can help me!
Think about it carefully, who else is more suitable than Mo Daoxian!
"Yes! I'll write a letter to Mo Daoxian right away..." Lu Xiaofeng immediately reached out to grab the boat pole that was casually placed aside.
The hull of the boat tilted because of his sideways movement, and the boat pole, which had rolled to the edge of the boat because of Lu Xiaofeng's crazy jump just now, immediately rolled into the water.
Lu Xiaofeng watched the small splashes made by the pole: "..."
"Oh... I'm really unlucky." Lu Xiaofeng jumped into the water dejectedly.
It was already the middle of the night, and in an hour or two, it would be time for the dawn to come out.The flower boats on the Qinhuai River were also quiet. The guests dispersed, and the sisters began to rest. The melodious singing and enthusiastic noise were sent away, and there were no merchant ships passing by. It was the bustling Qinhuai River at this time. quiet moment.
Lu Xiaofeng was soaking in the icy Qinhuai River water, questioning why he had to paddle his boat to the middle of the river, even if he wanted to fly to the shore with light work, he couldn't fly that far.
It must have been ten days of not getting a good night's sleep, and it's making my head spin.Lu Xiaofeng sighed inwardly while swimming vigorously.
Even if you row to the middle of the river, you should not forget to fix the boat pole!
Just as he was thinking, a faint voice suddenly penetrated into his ears.
He poked his head out of the water suddenly, looked around, trying to find out where this sad and melodious song came from.
"boom--"
The Qinhuai River was leaning against the bank, and the largest flower boat suddenly burst into a loud noise without warning, and a huge, dazzling spark shot out instantly, and the tongue of flame climbed all the way from the open-air cabin on the first floor. Get on the whole flower boat.
Screams and screams, the crackling of wooden boats as the flames burned, the ordinary sound of charred wood falling into the water, and horrified screams from men and women pierced the quiet night of the Qinhuai River for a while.
One after another, guests and singers who came to their senses jumped into the water and fled to the shore with all their might.The ship that was leaning against the largest burning flower boat soon burst into bright flames under the "shine" of the night wind.
One after another, the flower boats that had already rested were lit up one after another. There were guests and singing girls lying on the side of the cabin to look out. The boatmen on the ferry were kicked up and began to shake their oars crazily, trying to stay away from the fire.
Lu Xiaofeng swam to the side of the big flower boat that caught fire at first with the fastest speed.Before the stern was burning, he hurriedly climbed the rope ladder at the stern, jumped a few times, and flipped onto the flower boat.
A sister in the water screamed at Lu Xiaofeng: "Nong is crazy! Come down quickly! Burn to death!"
Lu Xiaofeng covered his wet clothes over his head and rushed into the fire.
He still remembered that the place where the fire started was an open-air cabin. At this time, he could no longer wade through, and the entire cabin was surrounded by flames.
But looking through the fire, there are two people lying down in the middle of the bed cabin. Judging by their body shape, they are extremely fat. The fat on their bodies helps the fire to burn more vigorously. At first glance, it is impossible for them to be the kiln sisters of the costume customers. They must be here to enjoy themselves. two guests.
"Crack."
Lu Xiaofeng quickly dodged to the side, the charred wood that fell from the top of his head fell to the ground, making the fire even bigger.
He was sure he couldn't get the two men out of the fire, so he stepped back and jumped into the water again.
The faint singing before had stopped, and Lu Xiaofeng could only hear the cursing of the guests after escaping from death, and the singers embracing each other, watching their shelter being burned down by fire. cry.
He quickly swam to the shore, climbed onto the shore, and rushed to the nearest post station with his Qinggong.
He wants to borrow pigeons and report this matter to the person in Bianjing City, so that the little emperor can quickly send Mo Daoxian and Jiu Gongzi to help - if his estimation is correct, the two guests who died in the sea of fire just now , Qin Huai was already the sixth or seventh official to die.
Before the two of them, five people had died on the Qinhuai River.
Two wealthy businessmen and three important government officials, one of them controlled half of Jinling's business lifeline, it was his death that attracted the little emperor's attention, and forced the case to be handed over to Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng doesn't like trouble, very much.But when this trouble may involve the survival of the people in Jinling, and may even break the Song Dynasty's trading chain, no matter how much he doesn't like trouble, he has to bite the bullet.
When Lu Xiaofeng rushed into the post station in disgrace and embarrassment, a familiar person was already standing inside.A white and tender face was tightly set, full of seriousness: "Lu Daxia."
Lu Xiaofeng panted for a few breaths, then slowed down: "Eunuch Lin Qi?"
Lin Qidao: "Hero Lu, Your Majesty asks you not to follow up on this case for now."
Lu Xiaofeng never expected that the first thing Lin Qi said when he saw him was this: "——Why?!"
Lin Qi frowned and said, "The Holy Majesty said, wait a little longer and wait for someone to come. If you continue to investigate alone, you may lose your life."
Lu Xiaofeng calmed down: "Who are you waiting for? Why did you lose your life? Could it be that His Majesty already knows who the shadow behind this incident is? He is sure I can't beat him?—Who is it?!"
Lin Qi looked at Lu Xiaofeng and shook his head: "I don't know who that shadow man is, but I know who the Holy Majesty asked you to wait for."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who?"
Lin Qi smiled, as if she knew that Lu Xiaofeng would be relieved if she said this, "It's Prince Taiping's son."
"—and Master Guoshi."
Especially this person, when this rival in love who appeared inexplicably asked him why he knocked on the door and entered without waiting for a response, what would his reaction be when he was so ignorant of etiquette?
Mo Qi's reaction was that his eyes immediately turned red, so red that he could bleed.
——Looks like yesterday was a light punishment in the underground palace!
——The punishment is light! !
Actually went back to the house, and still have the energy to find——
Mo Qi has kept himself and kept the etiquette for more than twenty years, but he can't even say the three words "looking for a woman" incoherently in his heart.
Sharman looked coldly at the tall and silent man in a black cloak in front of him, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
When she was on Wuming Island, Wu Ming whispered in her ear every day that the ninth son was covered by a little white-faced Taoist, and he actually accompanied that Taoist to solve the case all over the world.
Shaman originally thought that the "little white-faced Taoist" in Wu Ming's mouth would be a man with a particularly handsome face and a slender figure, but now he sees...
What is this "little" white face? ?
Tall as Shaman, he had to raise his head with difficulty to see the face of Mo Qi who was standing upright.
She thought hesitantly: This person's height...is he probably taller than Young Master Jiu?At least half a head taller?
This face is also more profound and masculine than the ninth son... Look at this perfect and strong physique like a god's mansion... and look at this domineering and domineering aura that cannot be provoked...
Shaman realized belatedly that he seemed to have misplaced this "little white-faced Taoist", and seemed to have accidentally picked up the tiger's beard.
Because this Taoist priest doesn't look as serious and restrained as Wu Ming said at all. On the contrary, anyone who sees the Taoist priest's blood-red eyes, expressionless face, and violence and anger at this time will not think This man is a decent man.The jet-black hair was lifted by the violent internal force, and the electric sparks flashed between the friction and impact of the chaotic internal force, and the cruel red eyes were like an evil god standing in the black mud, ready to swallow people up at any time. Or a tyrant who looks at the world struggling and sinking with a half smile but not a smile.
Sharman took a step back.
She came today, indeed, to demonstrate.
But that's based on the premise that this little boy is a decent guy with little talent and is always bound by old rules and regulations.Relying on the integrity of the famous family, he would probably not attack a woman, and he would not have the face to destroy the original partner's emotional character. Shaman is confident that even if this little boy is furious, he will not have the face to attack her, and in anger, he will make a clean break with Gong Jiu, sadly Get out of this love war.
But now... Sharman began to think about quitting.
Don't talk about a woman, the original match... The man in the black cloak in front of him has a cruel and tyrannical look on his face, as if he dared to tear her alive if she dared to speak.
Sharman wants to live.Think more than anyone else.Otherwise, she wouldn't have traveled all the way to Mo Qi to demonstrate because she was worried about losing Gong Jiu's backer.
So, at this moment, Sharman chose to retreat.
But she fell on the first step of retreat.
The terrifying internal force that made her limbs stiff and tingling crushed hard, like a sea wave with a needle in it, easily crushing her to her knees on the ground.
The man stood at a distance with his arms folded, as if his black cloak would be stained even if he approached her. ……say what?"
Shaman only felt that the skin all over his body was in pain like a pinprick, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but when he opened his mouth, it felt like swallowing a needle, and even his internal organs ached. After a while, he was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale.
She could no longer be arrogant, and she realized that if she didn't show weakness, she might not be able to leave Liangzhou alive.So she softened her eyes, raised her head and looked at Mo Qi pleadingly, a pair of cat pupils that were usually lazily proud and careless were filled with a thin layer of mist, looking lovely and charming.
However, no matter how charming she is, it can't obliterate the fact that this woman appeared in Gong Jiu's bedroom wearing only a light veil and carrying a long whip.
Only wearing light gauze!Still carrying a long whip!In the middle of the night in Gong Jiu's bedroom!
listen!listen!
Mo Qi's hand trembled with anger, the porcelain jar in his palm had already been crushed into powder by internal force, the medicine powder and the powder of the porcelain jar were mixed together, and fell from his fingertips.It's as if Gong Jiu, the hateful guy who always makes him unpredictable and slippery, the more he wants to protect, the more he challenges his patience, but when he finally breaks his fortress and is about to step out to When he took a step forward, Gong Jiu gave him such a big gift.
Fortunately, he still felt that he had gone too far with Gong Jiu in the underground palace, thinking of giving Gong Jiuzhi the wound on his lip with the wound medicine——too much!Look at this woman!In the middle of the night!Dressed like this, and holding a whip in Gong Jiu's bedroom!Maybe when he treasured Gong Jiu and didn't dare to touch and hurt Gong Jiu at will, Gong Jiu had already——
Mo Qi forcibly kicked out the horrific imagining of Gong Jiu rolling with a woman out of his mind, but the anger and jealousy burning in his heart couldn't be kicked out, it kept burning in his heart and in his head over and over again. Adding fuel to it made his already violent internal force even more chaotic and fierce.
Every obsession is based on his existing internal strength.At this time, Mo Qi's internal strength has already been greatly accomplished, and the madness at this time is no longer something ordinary people can bear.When he was with Gong Jiu before, Mo Qi still held back a bit, but now he saw Shaman who appeared as a hostess and even questioned him, how could he hold back?
Can an obsessed person still think about reasoning?If he can't tear Shaman alive now, he is already very restrained!
Shaman's body, face, neck and other vital points have already been scratched by the sharp invisible internal force like a knife, and many shallow blood marks have been cut, but those frenzied internal forces have always remained only a thin line from the ruthless hand.
The shallow streaks of blood seemed to be teasing her, which made Shaman even more frightened. He only felt that death was only a small step away from him. He was busy swallowing the pain like a needle, and he said hoarsely : "Dao... Taoist priest, this Taoist priest, please let the little girl go, the little girl is also forced to do nothing!"
The ink qi is about to explode.
Forced to help? !
This woman is not only the beauty of Gong Jiu Jinwu Zang, but also forced to be hidden by Gong Jiu himself? !
It wasn't the first time that Sharman played weak and innocent, and told the whole little story he had made up before the other party's eyes were really about to burst into flames with anger.The general meaning is that I am a poor woman who was persecuted by her family and bought a brothel. She has no skills. What I wished for was persecuted by the Ninth Young Master and the island owner!
Mo Qi was furious, but his rationality told him that if Shaman was really so innocent, he wouldn't have put on such an arrogant and indifferent look at the beginning.
but!so what? !
Shaman will know Gong Jiu's habit, and the leather whip in his hand is obviously used frequently, so it is so shiny, and Gong Jiu is so active when he first sees it. How could Mo Qi have never imagined that the one who satisfied Gong Jiu's masochistic desire before him was Shaman? !
Thinking that Gong Jiu was so distraught, sobbing, with tears in the corners of his eyes when he got sick, and was seen by another person, Mo Qiqi was about to burst into anger.
——No, no, no.
Maybe before Shaman, there are other people who have seen it. After all, according to Shaman, she was not always with Gong Jiu. Before her, there must be others——
Mo Qi only felt that the thick vinegar was about to acidify his whole body: "Have you ever touched him?!"
The electric sparks caused by the collision and friction of the messy internal force became even more terrifying, and the internal force applied to Shaman almost crushed her bones.
Mo Qi felt that the top of his head was faintly green, the green was rich, and the green was luminous, even the crackling electric lights around his body should be green!
Shaman was terrified, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what Mo Qi was asking, and hurriedly shouted: "No! No! Ninth Young Master doesn't like people touching him directly!"
Mo Qi said coldly: "You came to him tonight, did you take the initiative, or did he request it?"
Shaman: "..." Of course she took the initiative, but she definitely couldn't say that, "It was requested by the ninth son!"
Shaman trembled all over, and secretly scolded Wu Ming for causing her such misfortune. The one Gong Jiu was looking for was not a bad boy, he was clearly a big tyrant!If she was killed like this, even if she became a ghost, she would definitely not let Wu Ming go!
Mo Qi: "Oh."
Mo Qi moved away from the body blocking the door: "You can go."
The internal force was withdrawn from Shaman, Shaman didn't adapt for a while, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground, looking at Mo Qi vigilantly, afraid of seeing something in the other's eyes, "The moment she stepped out of the door, she chopped this Bitch, "Don't dirty Ah Jiu's bedroom" and other expressions, but except for those eyes that were as red as blood, she couldn't see any expressions at all—except for those eyes that were full of horror, madness, Bloody tyranny.
Mo Qi sneered: "Why, you don't want to leave?"
Sharman got up in a hurry, and rushed out of the door as if he had fled.
When he reached the door, he happened to pass by Mo Qi.
She was suddenly locked into action by a tyrannical and domineering internal force.
Like a mouse caught by a cat, Sharman thought desperately:
It's over, he's going to kill me.
He must be killing me.
——I knew he was going to kill me!
But after waiting for a long time, the guillotine hanging around her neck never came down.The infinitely elongated time because of fear gave Sharman infinite torture. She was frightened by her own imagination, and her heart was beating wildly thinking that the other party had not moved, whether she was trying to kill her in some way, or felt that it made her feel uncomfortable. She would rather die than live, and she is more relieved——
But Mo Qi was not thinking of any way to torture her as Shaman thought.
According to the usual practice of practicing internal energy, even when he was in a rage just now, the internal energy still circulates in the meridians, and at this time, he has become accustomed to being suppressed naturally, and he has escaped the state of madness.
But Mo Qi, who had escaped from the madness, walked behind Sharman, but still did not let go of the internal force that imprisoned Sharman.He still looked at Shaman indifferently, counted three hundred heartbeats, and then withdrew his inner strength.
Shaman's legs were so frightened by the long intimidation that her legs became limp. As soon as the internal force that imprisoned her was withdrawn, she fell to the ground and gasped a few times.
In the last 30 or so heartbeats of Mo Qishu, Sharman had already started to be suffocated by his own terrifying imagination.One second before she was about to faint, Mo Qi just let go of her control.
She crawled on the icy ground with her arms shaking, but she was extremely happy, as if she had gotten a new life by luck.
Mo Qi's voice sounded from not far behind her, still cold and restrained: "Don't let me see you again." He paused, then added with jealousy, "Don't let Ah Jiu see you again."
He specially changed the title of "Ajiu".
It was almost the same as Sharman who was standing in the Ninth Palace before, trying to swear an oath of sovereignty.
Shaman quickly got up from the ground: "Yes, yes! If the little girl violates the words of the Taoist priest, I am willing to let the Taoist priest deal with it!"
What a joke, she doesn't want to die so unjustly, she must hide far away in the future, she would rather hide in Xixia and Liao Kingdom, and don't meet Gong Jiumoqi again.
Anyway, the men in Xixia and Liao are the same, there is no difference.
Shaman quickly finalized the itinerary in his mind, and deeply etched the words "avoid and stay away" into his mind.
She never wanted to endure the mental torture and extreme fear just now.
Mo Qi stared at Shaman, and said in a low voice, "Go."
Shaman automatically translated Mo Qi into "roll" in his mind, hurriedly stumbled out, and escaped at the fastest speed in his life.
Mo Qi stood by the door, his face gloomy and motionless in the shadows, like a stone sculpture.
He stood for a while, really upset.Especially the scent of flowers in this room made him feel as if his territory was stained with other smells, so he walked into the room and pushed open the wooden window of the palace.
The starlight shines on Gong Jiu's bedside through the window, forming a patch of high and low shadows.
Mo Qi didn't pay much attention, and turned to leave.His eyes just passed over the low cabinet: "..."
A row of cylindrical utensils, exactly the same as the jade pillars seen in the Fuguo General's Mansion of the Liao State at that time, were neatly arranged on the low cabinet.The jade pillars are not all of the same color, there are three pieces of white jade and two pieces of dark green jade, and the two thickest ones are actually made of dark black ink jade.There is also a label under the jade pillar, which says the order of "one, two, three, four".
In front of the jade pillar are two leather whips.One is fluffy, like an animal's tail, and the other is a well-maintained shiny, strong and tough snakeskin whip.
Further on, there is a row of joss sticks.The different scents and sequences are carefully marked below, and even under the two incense candles marked with one, there is a label full of words.Mo Qi forced himself to pick it up calmly and looked at it, and within a short breath, the little paper was crushed to pieces by internal force.
It said: "Hold it the first two times, let the Taoist priest try the third time..."
Mo Qi looked at the incense candle indifferently.
His hands were hanging by his sides, already clenched.
But when he stretched out his hand again, he didn't break those sinister candles, but picked up another row of small jars neatly placed in front of the candles.
From left to right, numbers are also marked on them. The smell, the strength of the stimulation are written on it, and even how to persuade the Taoist leader to cooperate with the attempt...
Mo Qi turned the jars with an unpredictable expression, looked at them for a long time, snorted coldly, and put the jars back again, nothing messed up.
you can.
You are very good!
Mo Qi gritted his teeth.
·
·
Early the next morning, when Gong Jiu tentatively knocked on the door of Mo Qi's room, Mo Qi had already woken up.
Not only was he awake, but he was still very sober, fully dressed, sitting at the table, motionless, even the whisk was behind him ready to go.
Mo Qi's whole body was shrouded in low air pressure, the way he looked at Gong Jiu, if not for his dark eyes, Gong Jiu would have thought he was insane again.
Mo Qi stared at Gong Jiu's lips, which had been healed as before under Gong Jiu's special mentality, and no trace could be seen.
Mo Qi: "..."
Mo Qi was silently upset again, because he couldn't even leave a mark on Gong Jiu.
But... From another perspective, such a fast healing speed is not bad.
——At least you don't have to worry about whether Gong Jiu can't bear it if you use all the things in Gong Jiu's bedroom one by one.
Mo Qi sneered in his heart.
Thinking of everything that happened in the palace yesterday, Mo Qi's eyes turned red for a moment, and then he immediately suppressed it.
He thought about it all night yesterday, and he had already forgotten about the original showdown decision.
The appearance of Sharman made him make a new decision. The original plan to remain indifferent and silent until after the March appointment regrouped and became indestructible.
As for the little things on the low cabinet, the little black books hidden in his heart that have been dead for a long time can be seen again. Last night alone, countless "crimes" of Gong Jiu were recorded, and he planned to save them until March. After the dust of the covenant is settled, the settlement will be settled with Gong Jiu one by one.
The hairs on Gong Jiu's back stood on end when Mo Qi looked at her, and she almost wanted to turn around and leave.However, Mo Qi's motionless appearance still made him feel a little lucky: maybe in the underground palace yesterday, the Taoist priest was only temporarily affected by the madness, so he suddenly became so strong. Looking at it now, the Taoist priest should be normal It looks like, I just don't know why I'm in a bad mood...
Gong Jiu didn't know that Shaman came to him without authorization last night: "Drink the soup." He walked to Mo Qi, put down the soup bowl, and then took out a jade pendant from his waist.
It was exactly the same as the one on his sword, only a different color.The piece of Shushan jade that Mo Qi prepared for him was pure white, while the jade pendant prepared by Gong Jiu for Mo Qi was dark black, full of jade fat and bright glaze, it looked calmer and more mysterious .
Mo Qi looked at the jade pendant that Gong Jiu handed to him. Every pattern on the jade pendant was the same as the nine-curved ring pendant he gave Gong Jiu, hiding a strange formation that calms the mind.
Gong Jiu pondered Mo Qi's expression, but couldn't hold back his pride and couldn't help but said: "I asked a jade craftsman to make this last night - I saw that you were in the underground palace yesterday, and you seemed to have a tendency to go mad That's why I thought of giving you this jade pendant. I should have made it myself, but I can't wait for this madness. You can just make do with this one, and wait for the one I made myself, and I will bring it to you Change this one."
Gong Jiu said again: "I won't let you wait too long!"
Mo Qi... Mo Qi was caught in a dilemma again.
According to the plan he had already made, at this time he should say "oh" to Gong Jiu indifferently, and then put the jade pendant on the table casually to show that he didn't care about it.Even he can not accept this jade pendant, after all, he is not the kind of person who needs to worry about going crazy, on the contrary, his internal strength is improving step by step by going crazy.
But... Gong Jiu is really too cunning and eloquent.
He said that he made this jade pendant for himself last night, so he must have just discovered that he seemed to be insane, so he already had this idea, and he immediately put it into action that night.
——Did you know what happened last night, so you came here to please him today?
Mo Qi froze in place, one thought after another flashed through his mind.When reason finally suppressed all these emotional thoughts and took control of his brain again, his body had already betrayed the original plan, not only took the jade pendant down, but also hung it on the whisk handle.
The snow-white whisk and the pure black jade add to the artistic conception of Taoism.
After reacting, Mo Qi stared at Yu Jue: "..."
I regret it now, and it's too late to take it off and put it aside.
Gong Jiu saw that Mo Qi didn't seem to be displeased, so he was brave enough to face the wind, and took the opportunity to get close to the snake on the pole, and said jealously: "Don't hang up! When the piece I made by myself is finished, you can put me on it again." Hang up the one you made."
Mo Qi: "..."
He took off the jade pendant stiffly.This time, according to the original plan, he put the jade pendant on the table casually.
Unexpectedly, Gong Jiu nodded with great satisfaction: "That's right, I didn't do it, and you don't need to carry it with you - just leave it like this, anyway, if you have something to do, just look at it, it's really going out , if you can’t take it with you, look at mine! Anyway, we are always together.”
Mo Qi: "..."
Tang Yuandao ran in from outside the door: "Master!"
He was holding the panda cub in his hands, and standing on his head was Que Ling who was grinding his beak with his hair crown: "Master Bao has sent a letter!"
Gong Jiu straightened up dissatisfied: "What letter?"
Tang Yuandao was dazed for a moment, skillfully hung the panda cub around his neck, and read the letter with both hands free: "Oh, Mr. Bao said that there was a big case on the Qinhuai River, and several officials and businessmen died. , suspected that it might have been done by Jianghu people, so I would like to invite Master and Prince Taiping to take a look together."
Tang Yuandao handed the letter to Mo Qi: "Master, you can read it."
When Mo Qi read the letter, Tang Yuandao said with some depression: "Master, my sect mission has failed this time, and I don't know when Grandpa Huai Xia will release me next time. Master, I will not see you again." gone."
Mo Qi put down the letter, seeing Tang Yuandao's expression was really sad, he couldn't help but softened his heart.Just as he was about to reach out and touch Tang Yuandao's head, to comfort his little apprentice and let him go to Tangjiabao to learn the art of mechanism, Tang Yuandao continued to choke and said, "Master, please don't arrange for me again this time. There are a bunch of mantras to memorize, I really can't memorize them!"
Mo Qi: "..."
The traitor cried and tugged at Mo Qi's sleeve: "I'm so stupid, I can't recite it!"
Mo Qi withdrew his sleeve indifferently: "Really, I heard from Elder Yuan You that you read all the secret scrolls in the secret room of the outer castle in just one day?"
The traitor's fake cry froze for a moment: "I...uh..."
Mo Qi put his hand on Tang Yuandao's head, and slowly showed a smile without a smile on the rebel who looked up at him: "Since my apprentice is so smart, I will naturally arrange enough for you as a teacher." It matches your homework."
Originally, he hadn't planned to force Tang Yuandao to learn those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Qihuang poisonous art, etc. After all, in Mo Qi's heart at the time, as long as he could let Tang Yuandao learn enough good mental skills and sword techniques, he would be able to With the ability to protect himself, he has paved the way for Tang Yuandao one by one in the future, so there is no need for Tang Yuandao to bother to learn these miscellaneous things.
Now it seems...it turns out that the people around him are all liars.
Mo Qi patted Tang Yuandao's head again slowly: This is a little liar.
Look at Gong Jiu at the side: this is a big liar.
Mo Qi's gaze was too unpredictable, and Tang Yuandao, who was trying to do everything possible to be lazy, hiccupped on the spot, hugged the warm panda cub in his arms, and quickly slipped away.
Gong Jiu, who was left alone, also had chills on his back, his eyes swept wildly, and seeing Mo Qi's untouched soup, he pushed the soup bowl in front of Mo Qi: "Eat the soup."
Mo Qi looked down at the pork ribs and lotus root in his bowl, took a spoon to scoop up a piece of lotus root that was finely chopped, just enough to wrap in one mouthful, put it into his mouth, looked at Gong Jiu, and chewed slowly.
Chew and bite your teeth once.Chew and bite your teeth once.
Gong Jiu inexplicably felt a dark pain in his body: "..."
...He felt that what Mo Qi was chewing was not lotus root, but his meat.
·
·
Lu Xiaofeng hadn't had a good night's sleep for ten days and ten nights.
His face was exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot due to lack of sleep, and his eyes were bruised and swollen, as if he had been beaten.Even the mustache, which is always carefully groomed, is scruffy.
He was lying on a flat boat on the Qinhuai River, looking at the boundless sky full of night stars and a waning moon, thinking about why he ended up in this predicament.
At first, he just asked Ximen Chuuxue for help in another shadow man case.As a result, when he climbed over the wall and entered Wanmei Villa in the middle of the night, he accidentally witnessed the scene of his friend and the resurrected Lord Ye, Mei Lin's "discussion of swords" in the middle of the night.
Then he was hunted down by Ximen Chuuxue.
Really, Lu Xiaofeng can swear with his own conscience, he really didn't intentionally appear in that place at that time.
If Ximen Chuuxue told him that his evening arrangement was to "discuss swords" with Yecheng lord Mei Lin, Lu Xiaofeng promised that he would obediently stay outside Wanmei Villa until the sun came out the next morning.
Or at least they will not climb over the wall on the side of Merlin, nor will they think that some villains have broken into Wanmei Villa when they hear some kind of panting sound that seems to be painful but also joyful, so they will plunge their head into Merlin and be foolish. Suddenly, he rushed in front of Ximen Chuuxue and City Lord Ye——
Lu Xiaofeng covered his eyes in pain.
Ximen Chuuxue hunted him down for seven consecutive days, beat him with his fists and left.But he still has to continue to investigate that case - because if he doesn't investigate, the chief guard in Bianjing will make trouble for him again!
And now he doesn't even have anyone to ask for help, because his best friend Hua Manlou is repairing his eyes, and the person who helped him heal his eyes is Wang Lianhua, who was once famous in the world, and Wang Lianhua together The leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, Dongfang Bubai, accompanied her to Hua's house.
Regardless of the fact that he would never disturb his friend when he was healing his eyes, if he dared to instigate Hua Manlou to go out at this moment, what he would face would not be Ximen Chuuxue's punches, but Wang Lianhua's. And Dongfang Bubai - even the pursuit of the Sun Moon God Sect.
It is said that Wang Lianhua was invited by Mo Daoxian to treat Huamanlou.Because Wang Lianhua has a safer and more acceptable treatment method than changing eyes.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly paused.
Mo Daoxian... that's right!Immortal Mo!
He suddenly slapped his thigh, jumped up from the boat, laughed silently for a while, and thought excitedly: I have found someone who can help me!
Think about it carefully, who else is more suitable than Mo Daoxian!
"Yes! I'll write a letter to Mo Daoxian right away..." Lu Xiaofeng immediately reached out to grab the boat pole that was casually placed aside.
The hull of the boat tilted because of his sideways movement, and the boat pole, which had rolled to the edge of the boat because of Lu Xiaofeng's crazy jump just now, immediately rolled into the water.
Lu Xiaofeng watched the small splashes made by the pole: "..."
"Oh... I'm really unlucky." Lu Xiaofeng jumped into the water dejectedly.
It was already the middle of the night, and in an hour or two, it would be time for the dawn to come out.The flower boats on the Qinhuai River were also quiet. The guests dispersed, and the sisters began to rest. The melodious singing and enthusiastic noise were sent away, and there were no merchant ships passing by. It was the bustling Qinhuai River at this time. quiet moment.
Lu Xiaofeng was soaking in the icy Qinhuai River water, questioning why he had to paddle his boat to the middle of the river, even if he wanted to fly to the shore with light work, he couldn't fly that far.
It must have been ten days of not getting a good night's sleep, and it's making my head spin.Lu Xiaofeng sighed inwardly while swimming vigorously.
Even if you row to the middle of the river, you should not forget to fix the boat pole!
Just as he was thinking, a faint voice suddenly penetrated into his ears.
He poked his head out of the water suddenly, looked around, trying to find out where this sad and melodious song came from.
"boom--"
The Qinhuai River was leaning against the bank, and the largest flower boat suddenly burst into a loud noise without warning, and a huge, dazzling spark shot out instantly, and the tongue of flame climbed all the way from the open-air cabin on the first floor. Get on the whole flower boat.
Screams and screams, the crackling of wooden boats as the flames burned, the ordinary sound of charred wood falling into the water, and horrified screams from men and women pierced the quiet night of the Qinhuai River for a while.
One after another, guests and singers who came to their senses jumped into the water and fled to the shore with all their might.The ship that was leaning against the largest burning flower boat soon burst into bright flames under the "shine" of the night wind.
One after another, the flower boats that had already rested were lit up one after another. There were guests and singing girls lying on the side of the cabin to look out. The boatmen on the ferry were kicked up and began to shake their oars crazily, trying to stay away from the fire.
Lu Xiaofeng swam to the side of the big flower boat that caught fire at first with the fastest speed.Before the stern was burning, he hurriedly climbed the rope ladder at the stern, jumped a few times, and flipped onto the flower boat.
A sister in the water screamed at Lu Xiaofeng: "Nong is crazy! Come down quickly! Burn to death!"
Lu Xiaofeng covered his wet clothes over his head and rushed into the fire.
He still remembered that the place where the fire started was an open-air cabin. At this time, he could no longer wade through, and the entire cabin was surrounded by flames.
But looking through the fire, there are two people lying down in the middle of the bed cabin. Judging by their body shape, they are extremely fat. The fat on their bodies helps the fire to burn more vigorously. At first glance, it is impossible for them to be the kiln sisters of the costume customers. They must be here to enjoy themselves. two guests.
"Crack."
Lu Xiaofeng quickly dodged to the side, the charred wood that fell from the top of his head fell to the ground, making the fire even bigger.
He was sure he couldn't get the two men out of the fire, so he stepped back and jumped into the water again.
The faint singing before had stopped, and Lu Xiaofeng could only hear the cursing of the guests after escaping from death, and the singers embracing each other, watching their shelter being burned down by fire. cry.
He quickly swam to the shore, climbed onto the shore, and rushed to the nearest post station with his Qinggong.
He wants to borrow pigeons and report this matter to the person in Bianjing City, so that the little emperor can quickly send Mo Daoxian and Jiu Gongzi to help - if his estimation is correct, the two guests who died in the sea of fire just now , Qin Huai was already the sixth or seventh official to die.
Before the two of them, five people had died on the Qinhuai River.
Two wealthy businessmen and three important government officials, one of them controlled half of Jinling's business lifeline, it was his death that attracted the little emperor's attention, and forced the case to be handed over to Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng doesn't like trouble, very much.But when this trouble may involve the survival of the people in Jinling, and may even break the Song Dynasty's trading chain, no matter how much he doesn't like trouble, he has to bite the bullet.
When Lu Xiaofeng rushed into the post station in disgrace and embarrassment, a familiar person was already standing inside.A white and tender face was tightly set, full of seriousness: "Lu Daxia."
Lu Xiaofeng panted for a few breaths, then slowed down: "Eunuch Lin Qi?"
Lin Qidao: "Hero Lu, Your Majesty asks you not to follow up on this case for now."
Lu Xiaofeng never expected that the first thing Lin Qi said when he saw him was this: "——Why?!"
Lin Qi frowned and said, "The Holy Majesty said, wait a little longer and wait for someone to come. If you continue to investigate alone, you may lose your life."
Lu Xiaofeng calmed down: "Who are you waiting for? Why did you lose your life? Could it be that His Majesty already knows who the shadow behind this incident is? He is sure I can't beat him?—Who is it?!"
Lin Qi looked at Lu Xiaofeng and shook his head: "I don't know who that shadow man is, but I know who the Holy Majesty asked you to wait for."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who?"
Lin Qi smiled, as if she knew that Lu Xiaofeng would be relieved if she said this, "It's Prince Taiping's son."
"—and Master Guoshi."
