Chapter 2 The second time the Sri Lankan was alone and haggard

September 13th, afternoon.Lu Xiaofeng walked out from Chunhua Building, striding forward along the long and straight street. The sun has risen. He thinks this is really a very beautiful city, the streets are flat and wide, the houses are neat, and even the storefronts of every shop are decorated far more exquisitely than other cities. He also knows that the most beautiful thing in this city is neither the streets and houses, nor the world-famous scenic spots, but the people here.No matter where you come from, no matter where you are going, as long as you have been here, you will never forget this city.

After noon, the wind started to blow.As long as there is a wind, it will blow up the sky full of dust, but no matter how big the dust is, it can't hide the beauty of this city. Although Lu Xiaofeng walked quickly, he had no destination at all. He didn't see even one person he was looking for, but saw many people he didn't want to see. The first thing he saw was Ouyang Qing. Ouyang Qing was also wandering around the jewelry market outside the front door, and she seemed to be accompanied by a gorgeously dressed woman with jewels and emerald hair. This woman seemed very beautiful, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to take a second look.Seeing Ouyang Qing, he immediately turned his head - he thought of Xue Bing again.

Ouyang Qing had clearly seen him, but she pretended not to see him, and suddenly took the woman's hand and got into a black painted carriage. It wasn't until the carriage drove away that Lu Xiaofeng turned his head, staring at the dust behind the wheels, and didn't know what he was thinking. He should have continued to think about Xue Bing, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of the honest monk. On the opposite street, several people were greeting him with smiles, but a few steps away, a young man was staring at him with his hand on his sword. He recognized those people, two of them were the chief escorts of the escort bureaus in Sichuan and Hunan, one was a disciple of Wudang sect, and the other seemed to be the leader of Chuanzhong Paoge.But he didn't recognize the sword boy who was staring at him fiercely.

The boy's eyes were actually very fierce, and he looked like he was coming to find trouble.Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to make trouble, so he just nodded to the few people over there, then turned around in a hurry and walked up the east street. Suddenly, a hand stretched out from an antique calligraphy and painting shop next to the street, and patted his shoulder. "You really came, I knew you would come!" A Taoist with silver-like white hair and a tattered Taoist robe walked out of the shop with a big smile, followed by a pale-faced man. , a well-groomed old man.It was actually Mu Taoist and Gusong who lived in the soil.

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to smile too, and said: "I also know that you will definitely come!" The wooden Taoist laughed.Although this Wudang elder is nearly seventy years old, he is still full of rosy face and full of energy, and he is unrecognizable in the world. Few people can tell that he is one of the three most famous swordsmen in the contemporary era. He patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder and said with a big laugh: "Of course I don't want to miss this battle. Even if I am really too old to walk, I will crawl." Lu Xiaofeng said lightly: "Do you want to see if there are any flaws in their swordsmanship, and fight with them again?"

Taoist Mu was not angry, but sighed and said: "I am old, I don't want to fight swords or drink with others anymore, if someone asks me to play chess, I am willing to accompany them." Layman Gu Song suddenly said: "Actually, we are looking for you!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Layman Gu Song said: "We have an appointment to meet in the afternoon, and we are looking for you to go with us!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The person you have made an appointment with, why do you want me to go?" Taoist Mu rushed to laugh and said, "Because you definitely want to meet this person!" He smiled mysteriously.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "Who is this person?" Mu Taoist smiled even more mysteriously: "Since you want to know who he is, why don't you go with us?" Of course Lu Xiaofeng would not refuse to go.He has always been a person who cannot resist temptation, and is more curious than anyone else. The place where they dated was strange, it was in a long-abandoned kiln outside the city, and the dusty caves looked like deserted tombs. Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "There are so many good places in the city, why did you invite someone to meet here?" Gu Song layman said: "Because we are dating a strange person!"

Mu Dao said: "Strictly speaking, there should be three weirdos - a rascal who hasn't done anything serious for a day in his life, and two old men who are weirder than me!" Layman Gu Song said: "But these two old men are not waiting for idlers. It is said that there is never anything in the world that they don't know about, and there is no problem that they can't solve." Taoist Mu looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said with a smile: "Now you must know who we are dating?" Of course Lu Xiaofeng already knew.At this moment, there was a thin, short, strange man with a head as big as a bucket, riding a mule, staggering over, before the man arrived, he smelled a smell of alcohol from a distance, this man unexpectedly It seems that I will never wake up.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled.Every time he saw Mr. Guisunzi, he couldn't help laughing. "Your Excellency didn't wait for someone to redeem you this time, it's really strange!" Master Sun rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're here too, I..." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You already knew I would come, didn't you?" Master Sun sighed, and murmured: "All the people who shouldn't have come have come, and those who should have come have not come..." He raised his legs and jumped off the mule. I fell into a big somersault. Taoist Mu couldn't help laughing and said, "To be honest, have you ever been fully awake for a day?"

Master Sun's answer was very simple: "No." Taoist Mu laughed loudly and said: "This man has a good point, sometimes he is even more honest than an honest monk." Master Sun murmured: "The road in the drunk country is stable and easy to come, but other places are unbearable... The universe is big in drunkenness, and the sun and moon in the pot are long, why should I be sober?" Taoist Mu laughed loudly: "You are really a blessed person, more blessed than us." Master Sun said: "Because I am smarter than you!" Mu Taoist said: "Oh?"

Master Sun said: "At least I won't spend fifty taels of silver to ask things that don't need to be asked at all!" Layman Gu Song didn't smile, he was never a person who liked to joke, so he asked with a straight face, "Where are the old gentlemen Datong and Dazhi?" Master Sun said: "Since I asked you to meet here, of course they are here!" Layman Gu Song said, "Where is it?" Master Sun casually pointed to the front: "It's right there!" He was referring to a cave dwelling. Layman Gu Song frowned and said, "What are they doing in that broken cave dwelling?" Master Sun also gave him a blank look, and said coldly: "Why don't you ask them to go!" Lu Xiaofeng held back his laughter and said, "Is it worth fifty taels of silver to ask this question?" Master Sun said: "Of course, no matter what you ask, you have to ask for fifty taels of silver, and..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "And it's still the old rule, you can only wait outside, you can't go in!" Master Sun sighed and said, "It seems that you are smarter!" The cave was low and dark, even a thin person like Master Sun had to bend down to get in - at first Lu Xiaofeng was even worried that his head was bigger than the cave.But at last he got in, like a dead man in a tomb, both funny and terrifying. Not long after, I heard his voice coming from inside: "Start!" The first person to interrogate was Mu Daoren, and he obviously arranged this date.Before he asked, Lu Xiaofeng had already guessed what he was going to ask. "The battle on September 15th, do you think Ximen Chuuxue will win, or Ye Gucheng?" This is a question that everyone wants to ask.If you really know the answer to this question, there must be many people who are willing to pay fifty times more than fifty taels of silver. "It's too cheap for you to know the answer for only fifty taels." It was Dazhi who answered this question, and Lu Xiaofeng had heard his voice. "But I might as well tell you!" Dazhi continued, "Neither of them will win this battle!" "Why?" This was the second question, Taoist Mu threw in fifty taels of silver for the second time. "When two tigers fight, one must be injured. Although this saying is old, it is not correct." Dazhi then replied: "The result of two tigers fighting is usually that both tigers will be injured. Only those who can really win A hunter waiting to watch." Lu Xiaofeng listened quietly, approval appeared in his eyes.He felt that "great wisdom" is indeed worthy of "great wisdom", and only those who have truly great wisdom know how to use such a clever method to answer questions. "Has Ximen Chuuxue arrived in the capital?" Taoist Mu asked again. "yes." "Where are his people?" "In a place where it's hard for others to find, because he doesn't want to see people until September 15th." This is a very clever and clever answer, but no one can say that the answer is not correct.Taoist Mu sighed, as if he felt that the two hundred taels of silver he spent was not worth it. "Is it true that Ye Gucheng was injured by the Tang family's hidden poison weapon?" This time it was Layman Gusong who asked the question. "yes." "The Tang family's hidden poison weapon, other than the Tang family's unique antidote, is there any other way to save it?" "Yes." It was Datong who answered this sentence. Of all the hidden weapons in the world, there is absolutely no one that he can't tell. Lay Gu Song also sighed, as if congratulating Ye Gucheng.But Lu Xiaofeng knew that he was not Ye Gucheng's friend, and Ye Gucheng didn't have many friends. "Why are you always reluctant to see people?" Taoist Mu suddenly asked again. "Because there is no one worth meeting in this world!" Taoist Mu smiled wryly, the fifty taels of silver was spent even more unjustly, he turned to Lu Xiaofeng: "Do you have anything to ask?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't have any problems that he couldn't explain, but since he saw Ouyang Qing outside the jewelry market, he suddenly remembered a few strange things.He thinks that Dazhi may be able to explain these things. "Ouyang Qing is really still a virgin?" This is a very strange question.Taoist Mu couldn't figure out how he would ask such a question at this moment. After a long time, the answer came from the cave: "Yes." "Is the honest monk really honest?" "yes." Lu Xiaofeng had a pensive look in his eyes, and asked again: "What is his lay name? What is his origin?" "Nobody knows where he came from." That was hardly an answer.Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although the money was spent unjustly, there are still a few things he must ask: "Do you know who the person following Du Tongxuan is?" "Yes..." Chase's answer was suddenly interrupted by a strange sound of blowing bamboo.Fortunately, although the sound was sharp, it was short and could not be heard from a distance. "Who is that man in black following Du Tongxuan?" Lu Xiaofeng asked again.Still no response from the cave.Lu Xiaofeng waited for a long time, then asked again.Still no answer.Taking other people's money, but refusing to answer other people's questions, this kind of thing has never happened before. Lu Xiaofeng frowned, and was about to ask again, when suddenly he heard a "whoosh", a small red snake shot out of the cave like an arrow, flashed in the grass, and suddenly disappeared.Although this snake was short, its movements were faster than lightning, and the direction it rushed out was exactly where the sound of blowing bamboo was heard just now. Lu Xiaofeng's complexion suddenly changed, and he called out loudly: "Master Sun, Mr. Gui grandson!" There was still no response, and there was not even a sound in the cave.Lu Xiaofeng jumped up suddenly, and kicked down hard, the already crumbling brick kiln was immediately broken by his kick. The moonlight shone in through the hole, and happened to shine on Master Sun's face.His face was completely distorted, eyes protruding like dead fish were full of fear, his tongue stretched out long and turned into dead gray, as if his throat had been strangled suddenly. His throat was not broken, but there were two spots of blood on his throat, and the blood was also black. Taoist Mu lost his voice: "Is that the snake just now?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded.Anyone can see that Master Sun must have been bitten to death by the poisonous snake just now.Anyone who is bitten by that kind of snake will surely die. This is not surprising, what is strange is that Master Sun is the only one in the cave. Taoist Mu asked again, "Where are Datong and Dazhi?" Lu Xiaofeng was silent, and after a long time, he said slowly: "There are no two people, Datong and Dazhi." Taoist Mu was stunned.He didn't really understand, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Datong is Master Sun, Dazhi is also him." Mu Taoist said: "The three of them are originally one person?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded. Mu Taoist said: "But their voices..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "There are many people who can change their voices, and some people can even make the sounds of seventeen or eight people fighting in a room with a large group of cats and dogs at the same time." Taoist Mu didn't ask any more questions. There are many strange people and strange things in Jianghu, and he has seen many of them. Layman Gu Song frowned, and said: "Master Sun intentionally created two people like Datong and Dazhi just to cheat people out of money?" Lu Xiaofeng said coldly: "He didn't lie." "He didn't?" "Although he took other people's money, he has also solved many problems for others. His knowledge and intelligence are worth more than a little money." Lu Xiaofeng's face was full of anger. Master Sun is his friend, he doesn't Likes others to insult his friends. Layman Gu Song had obviously seen his anger, and immediately sighed: "I'm just wondering, with his intelligence, I could have made a name for myself, why would I use someone else's name?" Lu Xiaofeng's expression became very sad again: "Because he is a good person, he takes fame and fortune very lightly!" ——Also because he is too timid and too afraid of getting into trouble, so he is always running away.Lu Xiaofeng didn't say the latter words, he always liked Master Sun. "Anyway, he didn't hurt others by doing so. The only thing he hurt was himself." Taoist Mu also couldn't help but sighed a long time: "Such a person shouldn't have died too early." Gu Song Jutu sighed: "He should have known that this kind of place is a place where poisonous snakes come and go." Lu Xiaofeng said: "But that poisonous snake definitely did not come by itself!" "why?" "Because only trained poisonous snakes will bite people's throats." Taoist Mu moved, "Do you think that poisonous snake was placed here on purpose by others to plot against him?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and anger appeared on his face again: "This snake has obviously been trained for a long time, and it will only attack when it hears the sound of blowing bamboo." Of course it was dark in the cave.The snake was too small, of course Master Sun would not have seen it when he walked in from the sunlight. Taoist Mu also remembered the sound of blowing bamboo just now: "The person who blows the bamboo is the one who plotted against Master Sun?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Mu Taoist said: "Why did he kill Master Sun?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because he is afraid that Master Sun will reveal his secret!" Mu Dao said: "Who is he? What secrets does he have?" Lu Xiaofeng clenched his fists and said word for word: "No matter who he is, no matter what secrets he has, I will find out sooner or later." Mu Taoist sighed again, until now, he fully understood why only Master Sun could find Datong and Dazhi, and why Datong and Dazhi always refused to meet people. But he never imagined how many secrets Master Sun still knew that others didn't want him to tell, let alone how he knew these secrets.These secrets may have been buried underground forever along with his body.Can Lu Xiaofeng really discover it? The coffin shop is full of the smell of new wood shavings. This smell is originally fragrant, but smelling it in the coffin shop always makes people feel particularly uncomfortable. There are two high-quality nanmu coffins in the store, which seem to have been newly painted recently. "I want this one." Lu Xiaofeng chose one of them, the things he chooses for his friends are always the best.Everything is best, and so are coffins. "These two coffins have already been ordered." The shopkeeper of the coffin shop is surnamed Chen, perhaps because he has been working in the coffin shop for a long time, so even when he is smiling, he looks a bit gloomy. Lu Xiaofeng said: "The coffin is also reserved?" Shopkeeper Chen nodded: "A guest ordered it to be used on the night of September 15th, and the younger one also felt a little strange. He seemed to know that two people must die that night!" September fifteenth!Two people must die! Lu Xiaofeng's face changed: "Who ordered the coffin?" Shopkeeper Chen said: "He has already paid all the money for the two coffins, but he refused to leave his name." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What kind of person is he?" Shopkeeper Chen said: "It's a hunchbacked old man." Lu Xiaofeng didn't ask any more questions, anyone can pretend to be a hunchbacked old man.He chose another coffin and was ready to leave. Shopkeeper Chen said suddenly: "But that guest left two names, and asked us to engrave them on the coffin!" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly turned around: "What are the two names?" Shopkeeper Chen said: "The two names are very special, one is Ye Gucheng and the other is Ximen Chuuxue!" Mu Taoist was originally a very optimistic person, but now his face is also very heavy. "Neither of them can win... the ones who can really win are the hunters who are waiting to see." Now, among these hunters, one of them has ordered the coffin for them. Taoist Mu forced a smile and said, "Maybe it's just a prank." Lu Xiaofeng also smiled and said, "Very likely." With smiles on their faces, they walked in the autumn sun that has not yet set in the west, and the breeze blows their clothes. The pedestrians on the street seem to be full of vitality, and the world is full of vitality.But in their hearts, there was already the shadow of death.Of course they all knew it was no prank. Taoist Mu looked at a white cloud in the blue sky in the distance, and suddenly said: "Have you seen Ye Gucheng?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Mu Taoist said: "Does he look like he has been seriously injured?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer this question directly, but said calmly: "He pierced through Tang Tianrong's shoulders and lute bones with one strike." A person who has been seriously injured, of course, must not pierce the pipa bone of a master of the Tang Sect with a single sword.Tang Tianrong was originally one of the four masters of the Tang Sect. Mu Taoist murmured, and said: "But the honest monk will never lie, and he was indeed injured. Then, who detoxified him?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer this sentence, and couldn't answer, his eyes were also looking at the white cloud in the distance, and suddenly said: "I wanted to visit Baiyun City a long time ago, but I have never been there." Mu Taoist said: "I have been there." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I think it must be a good place to come to. In spring and autumn, there must be a beautiful scenery and a hundred flowers in full bloom!" Mu Daoren said: "There are not many flowers there, Ye Gucheng is not a refined scholar who likes to drink and enjoy flowers!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He likes women?" Mu Taoist smiled and said: "People who like women will never be able to practice his kind of aloof and peerless swordsmanship!" Lu Xiaofeng stopped talking, but a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.Every time he had that look on his face, something strange must be on his mind. Taoist Mu pondered, and said again: "Since he has arrived in the capital, of course he must first find a place to stay!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "He's not like Ximen Chuuxue, he must not be hard to find a place to stay." Mu Taoist said: "I want to find him!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know you are old friends." Mu Taoist said: "What about you?" Lu Xiaofeng looked at the sky and said: "I have an appointment tonight, I'm afraid someone is already waiting for me in Chunhua Building." Mu Daoren said: "Then we will break up here." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, then suddenly asked: "A person who neither likes women nor flowers, if he wants six or seven girls to pave the way for him with flowers, why?" Mu Daoren said: "This kind of person will definitely not do such a thing!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What if he did it?" Taoist Mu laughed, "Then he must be crazy." Lu Xiaofeng really couldn't figure out why Ye Gucheng did such a thing, he only knew one thing - Ye Gucheng was definitely not crazy. At dusk, before dusk, the guests in Chunhua Building hadn't started to take their seats, Lu Xiaofeng found a seat in the scattered seats downstairs, ordered Hujing's favorite drink, and was waiting for Li Yanbei to send someone to come pick him up. It was still early, he should have been looking around again, he had a lot of people to look for.Huamanlou, Ximen Chuuxue, Honest Monk... He wanted to look for all these people, but he suddenly wanted to find a place to sit down and think quietly. He also had a lot of things to think about. The setting sun shone in from outside the door, bringing a long silhouette.The figure was printed on the ground, Lu Xiaofeng raised his head, and saw the young man who was glaring at him just now with his long sword in his hand. The young man was also staring at him, a slender and powerful hand was still clenched on the hilt of his sword. A layer of soft silk is densely wrapped around the hilt of the sword, so that when the hand is held on it, it is easier to exert force, and it can also absorb the sweat from the palm due to tension.Only those who really know how to use a sword know how to use this method. Lu Xiaofeng could tell at a glance that this young man's swordsmanship was by no means weak, but he didn't recognize this person. As long as he has met someone once, he will never forget it, but this young man seemed to recognize him, walked over suddenly, and walked straight in front of him, the expression on his face was even scarier than when Du Tongxuan walked towards Li Yanbei .Does this young man have any hatred for him? Lu Xiaofeng couldn't figure it out, so he smiled and said, "You..." The young man suddenly interrupted him and said sharply: "Are you that Lu Xiaofeng with the four eyebrows?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Your Excellency is..." The young man sneered and said, "I know you don't recognize me, but I do. I've been looking for you for more than a day." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Find me? What's your business?" The young man answered this sentence in the most direct way. What he used was not words, but a sword.Suddenly, his sword was out of its sheath, and the cold and sharp blade reached Lu Xiaofeng's throat. Lu Xiaofeng laughed, he neither parried nor dodged, but smiled instead. The young man's face was livid, and he said sharply, "You think I dare not kill you?" His sword didn't stab, but he did use a murderous sword technique, fast, light, and sensitive.Lu Xiaofeng had seen this kind of sword technique before.Four months ago, in Yan Tieshan's Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, Xiao Shaoying, who died under Ximen Chuixue's sword, used exactly this kind of sword technique. This young man is undoubtedly one of the "Three Heroes and Four Talents" under Dugu Yihe's family. "I won't kill you, just because I still have something to ask you." The edge of his sword approached another inch. Instead, Lu Xiaofeng asked first: "Are you Zhang Yingfeng? Or Yan Renying?" The young man's face changed, and he couldn't help but admit Lu Xiaofeng's sharp eyes: "Yan Renying." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You want to ask about the whereabouts of Ximen Chuuxue?" Yan Renying had blue veins in his sword-holding hand, but red threads appeared in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "He killed my master and kidnapped my junior sister. None of the seventy disciples in our sect wanted to capture him alive and bring him back to the mountain." Go, live and sacrifice to the spirit of the ancestor in heaven." Lu Xiaofeng said: "But you couldn't find him." Yan Renying said: "That's why I want to ask you." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, smiled wryly, "It's a pity you asked the wrong person again." Yan Renying said angrily: "If you don't know his whereabouts, who else will?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No one knows." Yan Renying stared at him, and suddenly said: "Get out!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Go out?" Yan Renying said: "I don't want to kill you here!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't want to die here, but I also don't want to go out." With a flick of Yan Renying's wrist, the sword flowers scattered, seven swords have been stabbed out, the sword and the sword are within an inch of Lu Xiaofeng's throat, Lu Xiaofeng smiled again. He still didn't parry or dodge, but smiled and said: "You can't kill me." Yan Renying's palms were already sweating, and her whole body was as tense as a bowstring. Everyone could see that he was so nervous that he couldn't control himself, the sword in his hand was no more than three inches away from Lu Xiaofeng's throat. The shopkeeper and staff of Chunhua Building were already trembling with nervousness, but Lu Xiaofeng still didn't move, every nerve in him was like a steel wire. At this moment, there was a commotion on the street, and someone shouted loudly: "Dead... dead..." Yan Renying wanted to look back, but held back, but her eyes couldn't help turning.In the blink of his eyeballs, Lu Xiaofeng, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly disappeared. This person's actions seemed to be faster than his sword.Yan Renying's expression changed again, she turned over and ran out, Lu Xiaofeng was standing in the middle of the street with her hands behind her back, there was no one else on the street. All the pedestrians had already dodged to the eaves on both sides of the street. A white horse was running over from the street at a short pace. There was a person on the horse's back, and a person was lying on the horse's back like an empty sack. "Dead man! Dead man!" Who is this man?How did you die? Seeing the man's clothes, Yan Renying's face changed drastically, and she rushed out, reining in the horse's reins. This person's attire was almost exactly the same as Yan Renying's.Lu Xiaofeng already knew who this person was - how did he die? Yan Renying carried his cold body from the horse's back. There were almost no wounds on the body, only a little blood on the throat - like the blood stains bitten by a poisonous snake. It's just that the blood was not left by the poisonous snake's fangs, but by the edge of the sword, an extremely sharp and terrifying sword. Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Zhang Yingfeng?" Yan Renying gritted her teeth and nodded.Lu Xiaofeng sighed and closed his mouth. Yan Renying suddenly asked: "Do you see who killed him by the sword?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed and nodded, he could see that there might be only one person in the world who could wield such a sharp and terrifying sword, not even Ye Gucheng.His sword will never kill so cleanly. Yan Renying stared at the sword mark on his junior brother's throat, and murmured, "Ximen Chuuxue...Only Ximen Chuuxue..." Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "He must have found Ximen Chuuxue, but it's a pity..." It's a pity that now he can't tell where he found Ximen Chuuxue.There is no need to say this sentence, Yan Renying already understands it. "Another life! Another blood debt!" He suddenly hissed with tears on his pale face. "Ximen Chuuxue, since you dare to kill people, why don't you dare to come out to meet people?" The voice was shrill, and amidst the shrill voice, dusk had suddenly descended on the earth. Immediately, the world was filled with an indescribable sense of sadness and death, and the wind and sand rose again. Yan Renying hugged the body of his junior brother, jumped onto the white horse, and galloped away. The horse came from the west. Now Yan Renying rode his horse and galloped west again. He obviously wanted to chase Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts from this horse. Facing the blade-like northwest wind in the late autumn of the northern country, Lu Xiaofeng watched the horse and horse go away, and suddenly heard a person behind him softly say: "I recognize this horse!" Lu Xiaofeng turned around abruptly, the person who spoke was in Tsing Yi cloth stockings, although he was dressed plainly, he was not small, he was one of those people who followed Li Yanbei for a walk in the early morning this morning. "Under Zhao is me, and I'm the one on the pole in Dongcheng. Everyone calls me 'Gan'er Zhao'." "The one on the pole", also known as the "tuantou", is the general manager of all beggars on the ground, and has great influence in the market. Of course Lu Xiaofeng also knew the identity of this kind of person, but he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he immediately asked: "Do you recognize that horse?" Gan'er Zhao said in a lower voice, "Only in the imperial city can there be such a handsome white horse. No matter how much money other people have, they dare not break the law." The white horse symbolizes nobility, and only the royal family is the most noble. Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Did that horse come out of the Forbidden City?" ——Has Ximen Chuuxue been hiding in the imperial city?So others can't find it?But the imperial city is heavily guarded, so how can idlers be allowed to hide? Gan'er Zhao has shut up, this is the most taboo thing in the capital, how dare he keep talking? Lu Xiaofeng pondered, and said: "Can you ask your brothers to check, where did that horse come from? Who saw it first?" Gan'er Zhao hesitated, finally nodded, and said: "It's not difficult, but I was ordered to pick you up to Thirteenth Aunt's mansion." Lu Xiaofeng said: "This matter is more important, as long as you tell me where the mansion is, I can find it myself." Gan'er Zhao hesitated for a long time again: "Okay, let's do this. I'll ask Xiao Song, the driver, to take you to the Juanlianzi Hutong. Aunt Thirteen's mansion is the last one on the left in the alley." Sitting in the car, Lu Xiaofeng's heart was disturbed again, it seemed that there were more and more troublesome problems, who plotted against Master Sun?What is it for?Why is Ximen Chuuxue's whereabouts so secretive? An alley is an alley, and the Juanlianzi alley is a very quiet alley. All the people live in rich families. There is no one in the high walls. The wind carries the fragrance of pomegranate flowers. It is dusk and night is approaching. This day has not yet passed, the door of the last house on the left is tightly closed, Li Yanbei's 30 mansions, every house is tightly guarded, there is absolutely no idler at the door.Lu Xiaofeng didn't even knock on the door, just jumped over the wall and entered. He believes that Li Yanbei will never blame him, they have this friendship.The yard is very spacious, with pomegranates and goldfish raised, and the summer roof has been dismantled.The stove had been brought out to be cleaned, and it would not be long before the house had to light a fire. The living room in front was brightly lit, and the flower hall on the left was also lit. Li Yanbei was sighing in the flower hall! On the mahogany table in front of him, there were stacks of thick account books. His sigh was heavy, and his mind was heavy. But he still heard Lu Xiaofeng's voice, he was a very sensitive person, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't pay special attention to his actions.Li Yanbei pushed open the door of the flower hall, and he was already outside. "You know it's me?" Li Yanbei forced a smile: "Aside from you, who else would dare to barge in like this?" Lu Xiaofeng also smiled, staring at the piles of ledgers, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable. In the capital, Li Yanbei had worked hard for more than twenty years, shed blood and sweat. It is not easy to stand firm in the capital where dragons and snakes are mixed, but it is easy to fall down. Why did he want to put his hard-earned inheritance at the risk of others?Is it worth it for him to do so? Li Yanbei smiled even harder, and said: "I'm not ready to admit defeat, but it's better to be prepared than to jump off the wall temporarily, let alone..." What's more, as long as Ximen Chuuxue is defeated, he has to leave immediately, and he has to abandon everything immediately, and it is definitely not easy to abandon! Lu Xiaofeng understood what he meant and understood his mood, and suddenly said: "Ximen Chuuxue has arrived." Li Yanbei's eyes lit up: "Did you see him?" Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "But I know that his sword hasn't rusted, and he still kills as cleanly as before." The brilliance of Li Yanbei's eyes dimmed again, he turned around, piled up the account books, and said slowly: "It's just that the swordsmanship that kills is not the swordsmanship that is sure to win." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I said before, there is no swordsmanship that is sure to win, but there is no sure defeat." Li Yanbei was silent, then suddenly laughed: "So let's go drink first." He turned around, patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder, and said: "The food for drinking must be ready now, I specially invited it for you Accompanying guests are also here." Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised: "There is still a guest? Who is it?" Li Yanbei smiled as if a little mysterious: "Of course he is someone you will never hate!" Four dishes of fruit, four dishes of side dishes, and eight-color table wine have been placed on the table—a dish of smoked fish, a dish of smoked duck, a dish of crystal knuckles, a dish of roast goose, a dish of black-skinned chicken, a dish of A dish of dancing donkey, a dish of fried walnut meat with shallots, a dish of fat lamb intestines, and a freshly served lamb head. Lu Xiaofeng blinked and said with a smile, "You want to swell me to death?" Li Yanbei laughed again, amidst the laughter, a gorgeously dressed, graceful young woman with a slim waist came in.When Lu Xiaofeng saw her, he seemed to be startled suddenly. Li Yanbei smiled and said: "This person is Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows, don't you want to see him a long time ago?" Thirteenth Aunt put on her back and saluted, suddenly smiled and said: "We have met just now." Li Yanbei was also stunned: "When did you meet?" Thirteenth Aunt said sweetly: "Just now I accompanied Ouyang Qing to buy beads outside the front door, and Ouyang Qing pointed him out to me." Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly, and couldn't help asking: "Is she the escort you invited?" Li Yanbei said: "You also recognize Ouyang Qing?" Lu Xiaofeng only nodded. Li Yanbei laughed and said: "Of course you should recognize, if you don't even recognize such a beauty, what kind of hero is Lu Xiaofeng?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where are her people?" Aunt Thirteen said, "She's still in the kitchen, cooking for you one of her best snacks, soaked snails in butter." Ouyang Qing actually made snacks for Lu Xiaofeng! Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help smiling wryly again: "Is she trying to poison me to death?" Aunt Thirteen said, "Do you think she wants to poison you to death?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I offended her once, but some people can't be offended even once, otherwise she will hate you forever." Aunt Thirteen said, "Do you think she is this kind of person?" Lu Xiaofeng did not deny it.Aunt Thirteen looked at him without blinking.Women shouldn't look at men like this, especially in front of their own husbands, Lu Xiaofeng already felt very embarrassed, but Thirteenth Aunt didn't care at all. Li Yanbei couldn't help but asked, "What are you looking at?" 十三姨道：“我在看他究竟是不是个呆子。” 李燕北道：“他绝不是。” 十三姨道：“他看起来的确一点也不像，却偏偏是个不折不扣的呆子！” 李燕北道：“哦？” 十三姨叹了口气，道：“人家本来早就要走的，知道他要来，忽然就改变了主意，人家本来从来也不肯下厨房，知道他要来，就在厨房里忙了一整天，若是有个女人这样的对你，你懂不懂是什么意思？” 李燕北道：“我至少懂得她绝不是在恨我。” 十三姨叹道：“连你都懂了，他自己却偏偏一点也不懂，你说他是不是呆子？” 李燕北笑道：“现在我也觉得有点像了。” 陆小凤又怔住，这意思他当然也懂，可是他连做梦都没有想到过。 李燕北又道：“其实这也不能怪他的，女人家的心事，男人本来就猜不透的，何况他又是当局者迷。” 十三姨冷冷道：“我也不是在怪他，我只不过替小欧阳在打抱不平而已。” 李燕北大笑，拍着陆小凤的肩，道：“我若是你，等一会小欧阳出来时，我一定要好好的……”这句话还没有说完，风中突然传来了一阵奇异的吹竹声，竟赫然跟陆小凤下午在砖窑外听见的那种吹竹声完全一样。 陆小凤脸色变了，失声道：“去救欧阳……”四个字没说完，他的人已穿窗而出，再一闪已远在十丈外。 吹竹声是从西南方传来的，并不太远，从这座宅院的西墙掠出去，再穿过条窄巷，就是个看来已荒废了很久的庭园。
