midnight orchid 古龙 8046Words 2018-03-12
Susu fainted. She was a very strong woman, and she rarely fainted in her life. But seeing this man, she fainted. When she woke up, she saw another strange thing. —she saw a party. Banquets are not surprising. In this world, there are banquets every day. There are all kinds of people and all kinds of banquets. Some banquets make people happy, and some banquets make people bored. A banquet is by no means a strange thing, but this banquet is indeed a miraculous banquet. ——There are only four guests and hosts in this banquet, but there are at least four hundred attendants, concubines, concubines, and cooks serving these four people.

This is not a very strange thing, this kind of thing is very common in the house of a prince, a wealthy official, a salt merchant. Strangely, this banquet was held on a cliff. A cliff that flies up like a flying cloud is at the top of the mountain.A piece of flat stone, the quality of which is like jade, is unknown how many feet wide. ——Susu knew that she would never see it again, and would never see such a cliff again. —she had never seen it before, and she would never see it again.Because it's a miracle. This piece of white jade-like flat cliff is a miracle, and this banquet is also a miracle.

Because this person is in this banquet, on this cliff. Because this is the person we most want to see. This man is wearing a blue gown, very very blue, very very simple in style. The man was very thin, and his face was the color of foam when the waves break.It also seems to be the kind of floating clouds floating in the blue sky in early summer. ——no one knows what kind of color it is, and no one can describe it. The demeanor and demeanor of this man is indescribable. ——Such an elegant person, so elegant and agile, but sitting there looks like a mountain. He sat in the seat of companion.

The other accompanying guest was a one-armed man. Although there was only one arm left, his face was radiant and full of energy. He looked like a new imperial examination candidate who had just won the first prize. No matter who sees this person, he will definitely see that he is a very successful person. He is extremely successful in every aspect of his career, marriage, emotion, economy, friendship, and life. Success is pleasure. The man was by all accounts a very successful and very happy man. Only one thing is very strange. ——For such a successful and happy person, others dare not look at him, because there always seems to be a murderous look in his eyebrows that can be cold from the bottom of his feet to the bottom of his heart.

An atmosphere where even you believe that as long as he kills you, you will definitely die. Such people are very rare, and they are absolutely not to be committed lightly. No matter who has seen him, he can understand this. Susu is a very courageous woman with a very ruthless heart, but when Susu saw this person, she only told herself one thing. —Don't mess with him. Susu has never met this person, nor does she know him, but she knows that if she messes with this person, the chances of her surviving will not be too much. Who is this guy? The guest of honor is an old lady. I bet no one would have imagined that such an old lady would sit in such a place and drink with such three people at such a time.

She not only drank, but drank a lot, even more than a competitive young man. She drank like drinking water. People say that being able to eat is a blessing, and being able to drink is also a blessing. This old lady is probably the most blessed old lady in the world. Even if other old ladies can live to her age, they can't eat and drink so much, even if they can eat and drink like this, they don't have the glory and wealth like her, and even if they have such glory and wealth, they don't have so many Many children and grandchildren, even if there are so many children and grandchildren, it will not be like her, all the children and grandchildren can stand out.

Even with everything she has, it is impossible for any old lady to have such a great reputation in the world like her. The old lady had ten sons, nine daughters, eight sons-in-law, thirty-nine grandchildren, and sixty-eight grandchildren. Among her sons-in-law, there is one who was born in the army and has experienced hundreds of battles. He is already the most powerful general in the military today. But this general is by no means one of her sons-in-law who is valued by others. In her family's mind, a general was nothing at all. She has nine daughters, but only eight sons-in-law, and it is by no means because one of her daughters cannot be married.

Everyone in the Jianghu knew that the nine daughters of this old lady were all beautiful and beautiful, and they all had dowries worth tens of millions. The men who asked them to marry him had to line up from Beijing to Nanjing. One of her daughters was not married because one of her daughters had become a nun, inherited the mantle of "Emei", and was already one of the seven most powerful heads of the contemporary era. ——And she is the first and most powerful woman in Jianghu. — After all, this society is still a male society, and it is not easy for a woman to occupy a seat in the world of male power.

——Even if it is the seventh place, it is already very difficult. The old lady's youngest granddaughter turned out to be Jin Lingzhi. Jin Lingzhi is of course good friends of Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua, and she recognized them at the same time. They were showering in a very masculine bathhouse when she broke in. This kind of bathing hall is very old, a very old forbidden place for men; for thousands of years, few women dared to break into it—we can even say that absolutely no women dared to break into it. —We can even say that, except for some women who are women but are not women, no woman dares to break in.

A woman who dares to break into this kind of man's forbidden place must of course have a little courage. It was certainly a strange and exciting beginning for a woman to know two men. But what they experienced together after they met was much more mysterious and exciting. They once lay in coffins, drifted on the sea, and waited to die in the dark five-day hell. They used to catch several mermaids from the sea with fishing nets—mermaids who could kill. They even meet Batman who has never seen the light of day. They have lived and died together, shared adversity. They are all good friends.

The friendship between Hu Tiehua and Jin Lingzhi is even more different, perhaps because of this reason, Chu Liuxiang is a little more distant from Jin Lingzhi. Unfortunately, Jin Lingzhi later died. Dead people have no feelings. ——The dead are dead, everything is dead, life, body, flesh and mind are all dead, how can there be feelings? However, there is still emotion. Although the dead no longer have feelings for the living, the living still have feelings for the dead. Is this one of the greatest tragedies of mankind? ——Who is the host of this banquet? A very special face, very thin, very prominent, with cheekbones so high that it looked like he had two holes in his face - the part sunken deep in the shadow of the cheekbones, it looked like a hole. It has a very big mouth. When it is not smiling, it seems very firm and fierce. When it is smiling, it looks like a water chestnut, or even an ingot. A pair of very big eyes, clear and sharp, but often there will be a very kind and lovely expression in an instant, just like the spring breeze that just blows over the melting glacier. A very large skeleton, with long hands, long feet, a large head, and broad shoulders, as if it were a specimen of an ancient human. —What a strange man. Susu has seen men, countless men, but she has never seen such a strange man. The strangest thing is that this man is not only weirder than all the men she has ever seen, but also richer than all the men she has ever seen, which she can be sure of. ——It would be really weird if even a woman like Susu couldn't be sure whether a man was rich or not. From the age of nine, Susu has been trained to be an expert in appraising all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry and precious ornaments. ——As for the identification of calligraphy, painting and antiques, of course it is more difficult, and it will not work until she is seventeen years old. According to Susu's preliminary estimation, the value of a set of clothes and accessories worn by this person is: ——All the expenses of 38,000 people from birth to death in this life, and the lives of these 38,000 people are still extremely affluent, eating chicken, duck and fish, and wearing silk and satin , surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines. ——This is of course an incredible thing, but have you ever heard a story about exchanging a jewel for a country? There are many things in life whose value cannot be estimated, and many things are even priceless. ——The determination of the value of a person and a thing is mainly in your heart. A lowly prostitute may be worth countless more than a saint in your heart. However, Susu's valuation of this person's clothing is completely objective and accurate, even more accurate than the shrewdest courtier in the most profitable pawn shop. Susu has never seen such a person, nor imagined that there is a person in this world wearing such a set of luxurious clothes in front of her. She was even a little moved. ——A woman, if she can't be tempted by such luxurious clothing and jewelry, she must not be a real woman. "What do you mean by not a real woman?" "If she's not fake, she's dead." Susu is a very smart woman, and she learns a lot and works hard.Sometimes even study hard. In fact, most of the time she studied hard, even sacrificing everything to learn, even sacrificing some of the things that a woman cherishes most in life. ——No one knows whether she is happy or painful after she finishes her studies?Even she herself doesn't know. But she knows that she is successful, if there are a hundred kinds of martial arts that can be unique and popular for a while in the martial arts, even if she hasn't learned them, at least she can recognize their origins. If there are a hundred top figures in the martial arts world, he can at least recognize ninety-nine of them. She recognized the man in the blue shirt. —When she sees this person, she feels a gun in her heart.The point of the gun is in the heart.heart like fire. ——It is not this kind of fire that can burn people, but a kind of warm and warm fire, just like the kind of fire in a small red clay stove when the sky is ready for snow. ——It's like the feeling when a good friend invites you to drink new wine on the small stove on a snowy cold night. ——It's like the feeling when you fall in love for the first time and fall in love again. — as if dying. dying.What is it like? Susu even recognized the old lady. A feast is going on amidst the exchange of cups and toasts. In such an occasion, in such an atmosphere, anyone will feel very happy.Susu seemed to have infected their happy mood. Seeing the man in the blue shirt, Susu was slightly shocked. Seeing the old lady, how did she feel? ——Who in the rivers and lakes does not know the Wanfu Wanshou Garden in the south of the Yangtze River?Everyone in Jiangnan knows that there are more than three in this famous garden. spend the most. The flowers in the south of the Yangtze River seem to have gathered here.Regardless of the species, regardless of the season, even in winter, spring flowers will come. Most people, especially celebrities. It seems that all the celebrities in the world have gathered here, and those who have not been to Wanfu Wanshou Garden are limited even if they are famous. If there are one hundred celebrities in Jiangnan, then this family accounts for at least forty-nine. most property. The wealth of the Kim family is immeasurable. ——Fields, real estate, businesses, shops, and even coffin shops, they have all the supply and demand between a person's life and death. But that doesn't count. In their family, the most worth showing off is what all human beings least need but most envy—— jewelry. Who in this world doesn't like jewelry? ——Jewelry, agate, emerald, jasper, emerald, cat's eye, diamond, who doesn't like it? Even if some men don't like it, what about women? —Probably fewer women dislike jewels than men. The jewelry in the Jin family can probably make most girls in this world betray themselves. This old lady is the latest generation of hostess of Wanfu Wanshou Garden, and may also be the last generation of female tyrants of the Jin family. ——There are fewer and fewer tyrants in this world. Who is that person who has two holes in his face but seems to have thousands of holes in his heart? Susu stood up, and stood up from a very comfortable soft couch. She stood up gracefully, because she had been trained very strictly since she was very young, and she already knew how a woman should use to please a man. ——A woman who doesn't know how to please a man cannot be a successful woman, and sometimes she can't even be counted as a woman. When Susu stood up, when she stood up with such a graceful posture, no one else noticed her. Everyone seems to have their own things to do, and they must do them. Even if the most extraordinary things in this world happen to them, they won't look at them, and they dare not look at them. ——Of course, some people don't bother to watch it. There is only one exception. When Susu stood up, the man in the blue shirt stood up almost at the same instant. His attitude is very gentle, and his demeanor is also very gentle, but in the gentleness, there is a very strange attitude. A "dead" attitude. ——So quiet, so gentle, so lonely, so indifferent, but there seems to be a fire in my heart that will never be extinguished. Who is this person, who has this charisma? Susu knew who this person was, but she was just not sure, so when this person walked towards him, she also walked towards him, and asked him in a voice that was timid even when she thought of it: "Are you Chu Liuxiang?" Yes.Absolutely. ——Of course this person is Chu Liuxiang. Besides Chu Liuxiang, who else has such charm? A fascination close to death. ——In this world, is there anything more attractive than "death"? ——In this world, apart from "death", what else can make people commit suicide? ——Life is so precious, how difficult is it to make people commit suicide? ——If there is no charm in "death", how can you make people die? Is the charm of death a kind of forgetting?Yes. ——How difficult it is to forget, besides "death", what else can make people forget completely? ——not only forgetting, but also disappearing, nothing.There is no life, no death, no joy, no pain. —What a relief, what a complete relief! Chu Liuxiang. ——What kind of person is Chu Liuxiang?How much struggle, how much tempering, how much experience, and how much luck does a person need to be able to become a person like Chu Liuxiang? God, Susu suddenly felt her whole body go limp. "Are you really that Chu Liuxiang?" Susu asked him. In fact, of course she believed that he was "that" Chu Liuxiang, but she still couldn't help asking, because this was simply an unbelievable miracle. ——To really see Chu Liuxiang with my own eyes, how miraculous and inconceivable. The man in the blue shirt smiled, and touched his nose again in a very gentle and very peculiar way. He really likes to touch his nose, he really is. "Yes, I am really that Chu Liuxiang." He said, "I believe that Chu Liuxiang seems to be the only one of me." The old lady also smiled suddenly: "If there are too many people like him, it won't be fun." The one-armed man with cold eyes like a knife actually interjected: "If there is no one like him in this world, it will not be fun." The man with two holes in his face only smiled, but didn't speak. —This is really a strange thing, if you know who he is, you will know how strange it is. Of course this man in the blue shirt is "that" Chu Liuxiang, but isn't that Chu Liuxiang already dead? In the legend, Chu Liuxiang didn't seem to be such a person. The legendary Chu Liuxiang seems to be younger and more lively, but this Chu Liuxiang seems a little too mature and a little too stable. So Susu couldn't help but asked again: "Everyone in the world knows that Chu Liuxiang is dead. If you are Chu Liuxiang, why are you still alive?" "I was going to die, and I have already decided to die." The man in the blue shirt said, "It's a pity that I can't die for the time being." "Why?" Susu asked. "Because of you." The man in blue shirt looked at her and sighed softly: "At least part of the reason is because of you, so I can't die." "because I?" Susu looked surprised, and a little bit pretended to be surprised. "Is it because of me that you can't die?" She asked Chu Liuxiang: "Or do you not want to die because of me?" This little girl actually seemed to want to tease Chu Liuxiang a little bit. — This method is often one of the best ways for girls to hide their mistakes. Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang has been molested by such a girl in this way for countless times. If Chu Liuxiang can't handle this kind of thing, then Chu Liuxiang has died at least 18,000 times by now.And they all died in the arms of girls. The old lady was laughing, so was the man with the two holes in his face, and even the man with murderous eyes was smiling. They laughed because they all thought it was really funny that such a little girl would use this method to deal with Chu Liuxiang.It was hilarious. ——At this moment, even Susu himself felt ridiculous. Chu Liuxiang looked at her with a very gentle look, and there was a smile in his eyes. ——Even if he knew she was the one who wanted to hurt him, there was still a smile in his eyes, because he had seen too much people and things in this world. When a person wants to hurt another person, it may not be their own fault, but a kind of "helplessness". ——Helpless, how bitter, how miserable, how unfortunate. Chu Liuxiang only told this girl who thought she was smart enough to deceive Chu Liuxiang: "I know that there is a person, a very mysterious and powerful person, who organized a very terrible organization." He said: "The only purpose of this organization is to find out if I am dead." He was touching his famous nose again: "Of course this is not easy to do." He smiled: "My whereabouts were hard to find when I was twelve or thirteen years old." The man with two holes in his face suddenly interjected, "I can prove this." Who is this person?Why can he say such things? How could he know about Chu Liuxiang's childhood?And can it be proven? In this world, there may be only one person who can say such a thing—— Hu Tiehua. But the person with two holes in his face is certainly not Hu Tiehua. ——This person is so luxurious and quiet, how could it be that Hu Tiehua? Susu couldn't bear it anymore. She knew that Chu Liuxiang had many secrets to tell her, but at this moment, she couldn't help but ask, "Who is this person?" Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "You should know who this person is, but you can't believe it." He said: "It's not just that you can't believe it, I'm afraid no one in the world can believe it." Chu Liuxiang said: "I can guarantee that no one in the world will believe that this person is Hu Tiehua, and no one will believe that Hu Tiehua will change. become such a person." Su Su froze, staring blankly at the person in front of her. ——So quiet, so luxurious, so thin, and actually so quiet. This person seems to be completely different from the legendary Hu Tiehua. The legendary Hu Tiehua seems to be just a drunk cat. But if Hu Tiehua is really just a drunk cat, he is not Hu Tiehua, nor will he be Chu Liuxiang's best friend. ——Everyone must understand this. Hu Tiehua is not only Chu Liuxiang's best friend, but also the oldest friend. He likes to find Chu Liuxiang to fight wine, and likes to imitate Chu Liuxiang and touch his nose, just because he likes Chu Liuxiang, not because he is dumb. The women he likes don't like him, and the women who like him don't like him, and it's not because of him. Staying in a daze was just a gesture, a form he intentionally created. ——No one is wary of him, only Chu Liuxiang, how beneficial is this form to Chu Liuxiang?Where can you find such a lovely friend? Susu was about to faint again. She looked at the man with two holes in his face, and asked in a voice that was almost silent: "Are you really that Hu Tiehua?" "It seems to be." The man's smile was actually very gentle: "It seems that there is only one Hu Tiehua." "You..." Susu asked, "How did you become like this?" "What have I become?" He asked back, "What's so strange about my current appearance?" Susu stared at him again in a daze for a long time. "I don't know anything else, there is only one thing I must ask." "What's up?" "Everyone in the Jianghu knows that Hu Tiehua is born poor, but now you seem to be rich as hell." Hu Tiehua smiled. When he started to laugh, an indescribable change suddenly took place in this quiet and luxurious man. This change is even indescribable. "If the wife wants to steal someone, if the sky wants to rain, if the person wants to get rich, there is nothing you can do about it." This sentence is already in Hu Tiehua's tone. "I didn't want to get rich even if I was killed," said the man with two holes in his face, "but at that time everyone said that Chu Liuxiang was dead, and even I couldn't believe it." "How can I not get rich if the old bug is really dead?" he said. "Old bug?" Susu asked, "Did you say that Chu Xiangshuai is an old bug?" ——Of course Susu doesn't understand this point. Others call him "Xiang Shuai", but Hu Tiehua wants to call him "Old Bug", because the relationship between them is different from anyone else, and sometimes even stronger than the real one. The brothers are closer, this nickname has a long history. "He is not an old bug, who is an old bug?" Hu Tiehua said, "It's just that there are not many people who call him an old bug except me." Chu Liuxiang began to touch her nose again, and the old lady was laughing again. Susu already knew that this person was Hu Tiehua. So she asked even more: "If the old bug is dead, why do you have to get rich?" "Because the old bug is dead, I'm going to spend money, and have to spend money." "why?" "Because revenge is a very expensive thing." Hu Tiehua said: "Revenge for others may be as long as you work hard, but if you want to avenge Chu Liuxiang, you must spend money." He must explain: "Think about it, what kind of person is this old bedbug? What kind of person is needed to kill him? What method is used to kill him? How many people are mobilized? How sophisticated is the plan?" Hu Tiehua Said: "The most important point is, after killing a person like Chu Liuxiang, how much strength will it take to hide this secret?" Under such circumstances, anyone should be able to imagine that the person who caused Chu Liuxiang to die was definitely not a single person, but an extremely large and sophisticated organization. "Not only am I not the drunk cat that others imagined, but I am seventeen or eighteen times smarter than others imagined." Hu Tiehua said: "Of course I know this." —Everyone admits this. "To deal with such a huge organization is definitely not something that one person can do." Hu Tiehua said: "Even a genius like me can't do it." Everyone laughed. This serene and quiet Hu Tiehua, who already had two holes in his face, was still the same Hu Tiehua. When he spoke, he still couldn't change his previous tone. ——Is he unable to change?Or is it not changed on purpose? "To deal with such an organization, there must be at least three conditions." Hu Tiehua said: "First, you must have friends, second, you must have money, and third, you must have money." He said: "I have always had friends, and they are all good friends, but what about money?" "So you have to make money?" "yes." "It looks like you really made a lot of money." "Not just a few, but a lot." "When you want to make money, can you make a lot of money?" "That's what it looks like." "Is it really so easy to make money?" Hu Tiehua said: "Of course making money is not easy. If someone says making money is easy, that person must be a tortoise." He said: "But for a genius like me, the situation is different." The situation is of course different.Some people make money like a pocket, some people make money like a turtle running, and sometimes making money is like raining. Before you are ready, big gold ingots will fall from the sky. "That's how I make money." Hu Tiehua said, "Sometimes I can't afford to earn less." He sighed: "Money is like a woman. When you chase her, she puts on a straight face and ignores you. When you want to push her, you can't push her." Susu really wanted to pretend she couldn't hear, but the old lady smiled and said: "This is really his experience, women are sometimes like this, but they will not admit it until they live to my age. " "This is not my experience." Hu Tiehua quickly explained: "This is what the old bug told me." Susu suddenly discovered that these people have an advantage that others will never learn. These people are very relaxed, and no matter how serious the situation is, they will find opportunities to relax. That's why they're still alive, and far better than most. ——This may be the reason why Hu Tiehua can make a fortune. The one-armed man had been sitting there quietly, as if nothing in the world could move him. Who is this person?
