Chapter 18 Chapter 18: The Cat and the Mouse

If a cat and a mouse had a running race, who would run the fastest? When Lu Xiaofeng was running, he suddenly thought of this question. It should be the cat that runs fast, right?Lu Xiaofeng thought, however, a mouse can go straight into a hole, or it can hide in a gutter with a single rush, this is definitely something a cat can't do. Lu Xiaofeng is not a mouse, and he doesn't want to compare himself to a mouse. Although Gong Jiu thought so, Lu Xiaofeng never thought so. So Lu Xiaofeng neither burrowed into the hole nor hid in a shady place. Lu Xiaofeng believed in his lightness kung fu, even if it wasn't the best in the world, it was definitely better than Gong Jiu.

So he was just running on the road. Running on the road, although very eye-catching, is better than hiding, and, with his running speed, no one can tell that he is Lu Xiaofeng. dusk. Under the hazy sunset, the lights of the town lighted up faintly. No matter how strong Lu Xiaofeng's stamina was, he would stop after running for a day and a night without eating or drinking. Moreover, Lu Xiaofeng thought that if he ran so recklessly, not to mention Gong Jiu, even a hungry lion would not be able to catch him. Lu Xiaofeng thought it was an absolutely safe place to rest and eat in this small town.

He slowed down and entered the town. Noodle stall, unremarkable noodle stall. Although he thought it was a safe place, Lu Xiaofeng chose to eat at the small noodle stall in the corner. He doesn't want to attract anyone's attention, he just wants to eat a bowl of hot noodles, find a place where he can sleep, refresh himself, get rid of Gong Jiu's pursuit, and meet Shaman as soon as possible. The owner of the noodle stall is an old man with gray hair, shiny clothes, and wrinkled face, as if he had succumbed to fate a long time ago. The boss greeted Lu Xiaofeng kindly and said, "Guest officer, what do you want?"

Lu Xiaofeng sat down and said, "Here's a big bowl of beef noodles." The boss smiled and said, "Come right now, do you want to cut some stewed vegetables and warm a pot of wine?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No need, two marinated eggs are enough." The hot and fragrant noodles were served, and as soon as Lu Xiaofeng smelled the aroma of the beef, his stomach rumbled. He ate up the noodles in two or three strokes, picked up the bowl, and was about to drink up the soup in the bowl. Just as he was picking up the bowl, a carriage drawn by four horses galloped from the town gate.

Lu Xiaofeng held the bowl and looked at the luxurious carriage. When the carriage reached the noodle stall, the well-dressed groom pulled the reins, and the carriage came to an abrupt stop. A sweet voice came from inside the car and said, "Why do you drink the beef soup cooked by others?" It was the sound of beef soup again. The beef soup is in the car, so Gong Jiu must be in the car too. Lu Xiaofeng was no longer in the mood to drink soup. The beef soup was full of smiles, holding a bowl of beef soup, and placed it in front of Lu Xiaofeng. The beef soup said: "Don't you like to drink the beef soup I cooked?"

Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer, picked up some beef soup, and drank it upside down with chatter. Gong Jiu was already sitting at the table next to Lu Xiaofeng, and the owner of the stall opposite said, "Wen Yihu, daughter Hong is here." The owner of the noodle stall seemed to be used to this sudden change, and he brought the wine to Gong Jiu not long after. Gong Jiu poured two glasses, picked up one with his left hand, and handed it to Lu Xiaofeng. Gong Jiu said: "Come on, have a drink." Lu Xiaofeng took the wine glass, looked at Gong Jiu and said, "Why do you want to toast?"

Gong Jiudao: "When a cat catches a mouse, it always has to make fun of it. Now that the cat tells the mouse to drink, will the mouse be disobedient?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly and poured out everything. Gong Jiu tasted the wine slowly, drank it all and said, "Good wine!" Beef soup: "Is it better than my beef soup?" Gong Jiu said: "That is incomparable." Beef Soup asked, "Why can't we compare?" Gong Jiu said: "Can a cat be compared with a mouse?" Beef soup said: "You mean, cats want to drink good wine, mice want to drink soup, so they can't compare?"

Gong Jiu laughed loudly and said, "The cat can ride in the car, but the mouse has to walk. The cat can sleep in the car, but the mouse has to fight hard to drive. Can it compare?" The beef soup had a good laugh. Lu Xiaofeng applauded: "Good words, you can make up such good words, why don't you do something?" Gong Jiu smiled and said, "What's the matter?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Cross talk." Gong Jiu stopped laughing. Gong Jiu said: "I really admire you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Gong Jiu said: "Because you are still in the mood to tell jokes at this moment."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe this is the mouse's way of enjoying itself." Gong Jiu said coldly: "Then go and have fun by yourself." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You want to drive me away?" Gong Jiu said: "Aren't you going to run away from me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Can I ask you a question before leaving?" Gong Jiu said: "What's the problem?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I really want to know, how did you come after me here?" Gong Jiudao: "It's very simple, only one word." Lu Xiaofeng said: "One word?" Gong Jiudao: "That's right, one word."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What word?" Gong Jiu said: "Money." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Money?" Gong Jiudao: "Money can make ghosts grind, let alone people?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You bribed someone to follow me?" Gong Jiu said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why not?" Gong Jiudao: "Even I can't catch up with you, who else in the world can catch up with you? Even if there is, can such a person be bought with money?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's why I don't understand, even if you spend money to buy someone, you shouldn't know where I am going."

Gong Jiudao: "The person I bought with money is not one, but many." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Many? How many?" Gong Jiu said: "I don't know how many there are." Lu Xiaofeng showed a confused expression again. Gong Jiu smiled and said, "Do you really want to know the mystery?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force it." Gong Jiu stood up and walked to the signboard of the noodle stall. Lu Xiaofeng's eyes followed Gong Jiu's fingers, and suddenly found a triangle mark on the signboard. Lu Xiaofeng said: "What kind of mark is this?" Gong Jiudao: "This means that Lu Xiaofeng is here." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Gong Jiu said: "Do you know how much it costs me to drink this jug of wine?" Lu Xiaofeng said, "How much did it cost?" Gong Jiu didn't speak, took out an ingot of gold from his pocket, and handed it to the owner of the noodle stall. The owner of the noodle stall laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. Gong Jiu said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Do you understand?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I understand half of it." Gong Jiudao: "Let me tell you again, I have already spoken, as long as you see a person with four eyebrows passing by, you will make an arrow to indicate the direction, and if you see a person with four eyebrows resting or eating, Just make a triangle mark, and when I see these marks, there will be a big reward, think about it, where can you go?" Gong Jiu laughed triumphantly. Lu Xiaofeng frowned, stroked the beard on his mouth with his hands. He remembered the words of the honest monk: "It is best to shave off your real eyebrows, and no one will recognize you." ——Shave your own eyebrows?How ridiculous! Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing. Gong Jiu asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I laugh at myself, it's so stupid." Gong Jiu said: "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since I can't go, why should I go?" Gong Jiu said: "Aren't you going?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not leaving." Gong Jiudao: "Actually, I don't object if you don't leave, it's just..." Gong Jiu laughed sinisterly. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Just what?" Gong Jiu held the beef soup in his arms and said, "It doesn't matter if I stay with you here. I have wine and beauty. What about you? Where's Shaman?" Gong Jiu laughed out loud. Lu Xiaofeng glared at Gong Jiu, turned and left without saying a word. Gong Jiu said: "Where are you going?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't turn his head back, and said, "Go to sleep." Lu Xiaofeng walked a few steps, then turned around suddenly, approached Gong Jiu, and spread his palms. Gong Jiu looked at Lu Xiaofeng in confusion, and said, "What are you going to do?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I want gold." Gong Jiudao: "Why should I give you the gold?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I will draw a triangle mark in front of the hotel where I am staying, so you must keep your promise." Gong Jiu was stunned. Lu Xiaofeng smiled triumphantly, raised his voice and said, "Bring it!" Gong Jiu's face was pale. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Are you going to be a person who does not keep promises?" Gong Jiu took out an ingot of gold and handed it to Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng played with the gold proudly, threw two tosses into the air, and walked out. After walking less than two steps, he suddenly turned back to Gong Jiu and said with a smile: "Early tomorrow morning, I will draw another triangle mark at the place where I used breakfast." Lu Xiaofeng laughed out loud, his voice gradually faded away. Lu Xiaofeng likes to drink, and he prefers to drink while lying in bed. When he is lying on the bed, he usually likes to put a large glass of wine on his chest, and then he does not move like a dead person. When he wants to drink, he just takes a deep breath, and the wine glass on his chest will be sucked away. The wine in the glass is sucked into the mouth, and with a "gul" sound, the wine is in the stomach. He is lying on the bed like this now.There was also a full glass of wine on his chest. It's just that he lay like a dead man for a long time without drinking that glass of wine. Because, the first time he drank like this, the proprietress was sitting next to him, and when the wine was gone, the proprietress would pour it for him immediately. Now, since the proprietress is not around, he cherishes this glass of wine very much. Who will pour it for him after drinking it all?He didn't want to get up and pour wine, that's what people who don't enjoy themselves do. Therefore, he suddenly missed the proprietress very much. The "lady boss" is a woman, a very beautiful woman. Beautiful women usually marry early. "The Lady Boss" is no exception. In fact, the reason why she is called the "boss lady" is because she married the "boss". The boss is Zhu Ting, and Zhu Ting is an old friend who has known Lu Xiaofeng since he was wearing open pants. So there is nothing between Lu Xiaofeng and the proprietress. That's why Lu Xiaofeng missed those days when he lay down and drank. He missed Zhu Ting even more. Zhu Ting is a fat man. Fat people seem to be blessed, and only those who are blessed can be the boss, so everyone calls Zhu Ting the "boss". In fact, of course Zhu Ting didn't open a shop, but he lived a comfortable life. Because he has a pair of very dexterous hands, he can make all kinds of weird things. Once, he even made a walking wooden man. Lu Xiaofeng misses Zhu Ting's hands. If Zhu Ting made a walking wooden Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng would have no problems. But Zhu Ting was not there. Sharman wasn't there either. With Sharman around, even if the two of them die together, this life is worthwhile. Lu Xiaofeng sat up abruptly, the wine in his glass splashed all over his body. He knocked on his head hard, scolding himself in his heart: "What a fool!" Since I am willing to die with Shaman, why am I still afraid of Gong Jiu's pursuit?Why not just go straight back to Sharman?Maybe with his and Shaman's kung fu, they can defeat Gong Jiu! who knows? Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng's people rushed to the door. When he opened the door, he found a pair of eyes that had been staring at his door, and quickly looked away. The eyes are on the face, the face is a strange face, and what is not unfamiliar is the outfit. That's the costume everyone knows. —The clothes of official servants. There was more than one official, because opposite to the person staring at Lu Xiaofeng's door, there was another official who was sleeping on the table. Apparently they slept in shifts and watched Lu Xiaofeng's movements in shifts. Why is it official? They are for Gong Jiu's reward?Or was he arrested under the order of Prince Taiping? Lu Xiaofeng turned around and rushed to the window, opened it. Under the window are also two officers and soldiers who are sleeping and standing. Lu Xiaofeng smiled, a wry smile. A cat already didn't know how to deal with it, and with a large litter of kittens, Lu Xiaofeng, the mouse, could only smile wryly. So he had to lie back on the bed with another full glass of wine on his chest. The morning light suddenly revealed. The official guard under the window saw the morning sun and couldn't help stretching, feeling happy to be relieved of a night of hard work. He was really relieved. Lu Xiaofeng relieved him. When he was stretching, Lu Xiaofeng flew down beside him like the sun, and touched his big hole with his fingers, and he was relieved. Of course, even the one who fell asleep was also freed. Lu Xiaofeng touched the saber on his waist and couldn't help laughing. This is the first time to dress up as an officer. Lu Xiaofeng had to admire Gong Jiu, only Gong Jiu could make him disguise himself as someone else. Lu Xiaofeng looked at the real official on the bed, adjusted his clothes, turned and left. The door was not opened by Lu Xiaofeng. was pushed away. The one who opened the door and came in was beef soup. Beef Soup held a plate in his hand. On the plate was a bowl of hot beef soup and four snow-white steamed buns. Beef Tang put the plate on the table and saluted Lu Xiaofeng gracefully. Beef soup said: "Master Lu of the yamen, please have breakfast." Lu Xiaofeng suddenly had the feeling that he couldn't laugh or cry, he quickly took off his official clothes and said loudly: "I'm not Lu Ye from the yamen!" Niu Niu Tang smiled and said, "Yes, then please Lu Xiaofeng, Master Lu, for breakfast." Lu Xiaofeng still said loudly: "I don't want to eat!" Beef soup said: "I think you'd better eat it." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why should I eat?" Niu Tang said: "Because Brother Jiu said that he is not willing to go to the restaurant where you have breakfast to pay you again." Lu Xiaofeng said: "He stole so much money, what's the big deal if he spends a little more?" Beef soup said: "Don't you know one thing?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the matter?" Beef soup said: "The richer you are, the more reluctant you are to spend money." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Didn't he spend a lot of money to follow me?" Beef soup said: "That is a last resort, it must be spent." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then I only have one sentence." Beef soup said: "What are you talking about?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I must eat this breakfast." Lu Xiaofeng swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns, showing relish, and said to the beef soup, "I want to ask you to do something." Beef soup said: "Do you want a bowl of beef soup?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No." Beef soup said: "Then what can I do for you?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Take me to see Gong Jiu." Beef Soup showed a hesitant expression and said, "If you have anything to say, you can tell me." Lu Xiaofeng said: "My words must be said to Gong Jiu directly." Beef Soup asked, "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because of that, I have a bit of fun in life." Beef soup walked out without saying a word. Gong Jiu was not in the hotel, and he never lived in a hotel. Gong Jiu is in the car. Gong Jiu's daily life is only carried out in the luxuriously equipped carriage. He hates the tableware, chopsticks, beds, wine glasses that others have slept on and drank. When Lu Xiaofeng walked into Gong Jiu's carriage, Gong Jiu was sitting on the driver's seat, meditating. Seeing Lu Xiaofeng, Gong Jiu didn't stand up or show any welcome expression. He just stared at Lu Xiaofeng coldly. Lu Xiaofeng also watched Gong Jiu silently. The two just looked at each other like that, as if they were using their eyes to compete in martial arts. It was not Gong Jiu who spoke first to break the silence. It wasn't Lu Xiaofeng either. It's beef broth. Beef soup only said six words: "He has something to tell you." Then beef soup walked into the carriage and pulled down the curtain. Gong Jiu looked at Lu Xiaofeng with questioning eyes. Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth, and he said, "I have something to say to you directly." Gong Jiu said: "I know." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You know?" Gong Jiu said: "Beef soup just said that." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't ask what I want to say?" Gong Jiu said: "I don't need to ask." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Gong Jiudao: "When you come, you will talk." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What I want to say is that you send your coachman away." Gong Jiu's expression changed, and he said, "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't need to use the coachman anymore." Gong Jiu said: "There is no coachman, who will drive the coach?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Me." Gong Jiu asked in surprise, "You?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Me." Gong Jiu said: "Why did you drive the car for me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I want to get rid of your tracking." Gong Jiu said: "But..." Lu Xiaofeng interrupted him, saying: "I am your coachman, which means that it is not you following me, but I will take you away." Gong Jiu said: "Where are you taking me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't know either." Gong Jiu asked strangely: "You don't know?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe I will think of a place on the way." Gong Jiu said: "Where?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you want to know where it is, you have to let me drive the car. I think of it on the way, and I'll tell you." Gong Jiu didn't speak, took the whip, threw it to Lu Xiaofeng, pushed aside the curtain, and walked into the carriage. The sun has climbed very high, almost to the sky. The noon sun was hot. Lu Xiaofeng was as quiet as a lake. The whip in his hand was flapping lightly, the hooves were clattering, and the tune of the carriage was running very briskly, not at all like driving under the hot sun. --why? Because Lu Xiaofeng has already thought of a way to get rid of the evil cat. The carriage suddenly ran fast. Gong Jiu in the car couldn't help sticking his head out and asked, "Are you on your way?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't turn his head back, he waved his whip and said, "Yes." Gong Jiu said: "Why are you hurrying?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I have to meet someone." Gong Jiu said: "Are you in a hurry to see him?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "No rush." Gong Jiu said: "No rush, why are you hurrying?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I have to get to his place before dusk." Gong Jiu said: "Then you still say you are not in a hurry?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm not in a hurry, it's him." Gong Jiu asked strangely: "Is he in a hurry?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because he has a habit, when it gets dark, he doesn't see any visitors." Gong Jiu said: "Even you don't see me?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I don't even see the Heavenly King." Gong Jiudao: "So you must arrive before dark?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Gong Jiu said: "The one who is in a hurry is you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "No, because he made the rules, so the one who is anxious to meet the guests before dark is him, not me." The sun's rays gradually faded. The carriage slowed down. A gentle breeze with a sweet floral scent. Gong Jiu asked in the car: "The person you want to meet likes flowers?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I like it very much." Gong Jiu said: "Is the place where he lives full of flowers?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "All kinds of flowers." Gong Jiudao: "Where is that place?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Wanmei Villa." Gong Jiudao: "Ximen Chuuxue? Is the person you want to meet Ximen Chuuxue?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's right, although what he often blows is not snow but blood, but he is indeed called Ximen Chuuxue." Gong Jiu said: "What are you looking for him for?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Say a few words." Gong Jiu said: "What can I not listen to?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "When he talks with his friends, he never likes to have strangers by his side." Gong Jiu said: "You want to ask him to help you?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe." Gong Jiu said: "You want him to inform Shaman?" Lu Xiaofeng didn't answer. The carriage stopped beside the flowers. Lu Xiaofeng put down his whip, jumped off the carriage, knocked on the curtain, and said, "Do you want to go in?" Gong Jiudao: "Since he doesn't like strangers, why should I go in? Besides, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing here, wouldn't it be more pleasant for me to enjoy the beautiful scenery at dusk here?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "You are indeed a smart person." Gong Jiu said: "Thank you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Since you admit that you are a smart person, do you think I want to borrow something from you?" Gong Jiu didn't speak. Because he can't guess. Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "I want to borrow a razor from you." Amidst Lu Xiaofeng's loud laughter, a razor flew out from the curtain. Gong Jiu's voice was as cold as ice: "Give it to you." When Gong Jiu stuck out her head, Lu Xiaofeng was shaving, showing a very comfortable look. Gong Jiu couldn't help but said coldly: "Didn't you say that Ximen Chuuxue doesn't see visitors after dark?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Gong Jiudao: "Are you still shaving leisurely?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's rare for me to shave my beard a few times in my life. I must shave comfortably to be worthy of my beard. Besides, don't worry, I promise to shave well before the sun goes down." Gong Jiu said: "I want to persuade you a word." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What are you talking about?" Gong Jiudao: "I think your four eyebrows look better, so I advise you not to shave off your beard." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I must shave." Gong Jiu said: "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I must meet Ximen Chuuxue." Gong Jiu said: "You must see him?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If I don't see him, I won't be able to see Shaman." Gong Jiu said: "If you don't see him, you can still see Shaman." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Gong Jiu and said, "Oh?" Gong Jiu said: "You don't believe it?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I believe it, but I dare not." Gong Jiu said: "Don't you dare?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm afraid I will see Shaman for the last time, or..." Gong Jiudao: "Or what?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe she will see me for the last time." Gong Jiu smiled and said, "I don't need to kill you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Can you do it?" Gong Jiu said: "I will." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What about the conditions?" Gong Jiu said: "You are very smart." Lu Xiaofeng said: "So I'm still alive." Gong Jiu said: "As long as you join us." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is this what you mean?" Gong Jiu said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You mean the little old man?" Gong Jiu said: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, put down the razor, wiped his face dry with a cloth, and said, "Don't you think I'm pretty chic like this?" Gong Jiu looked at him and didn't speak. Lu Xiaofeng said loudly to the car curtain: "Beef soup." The beef broth sticks out. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Does this look better than before?" Rou Tang looked at him, then at Gong Jiu, but didn't speak. Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "You must have been frightened by my handsome appearance, so you stopped talking. Since I am still unrestrained, I think it would be better for me to meet Ximen Chuuxue." The sun has gone down. The evening wind carried the fragrance of flowers, making Lu Xiaofeng very comfortable. He took a deep breath and sighed: "On such a beautiful day, why do we have to intrigue and kill each other?" Gong Jiu let out a cold hey. Lu Xiaofeng said again: "Life is beautiful, why do you push me to a desperate situation? Why don't you join hands with Beef Soup by the flowers and enjoy life?" Gong Jiu's face changed slightly, and his voice was stiff and authentic: "It's getting dark." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." Gong Jiudao: "Why doesn't Ximen Chuuxue come out to greet you?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe he is cooking some exquisite dishes to welcome me!" Gong Jiu said: "Do you want to have dinner inside?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I still want to sleep inside." Gong Jiu said: "Then please hurry up." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Before I go in, I also want to advise you." Gong Jiu said: "Say it." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Hurry up and start a fire to cook, lest you will not be able to bear the smell later." Gong Jiu smiled slightly, and said: "I'm not a glutton, you don't have to provoke me, you should eat well, sleep well, and get ready to walk tomorrow." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why do I have to walk?" Gong Jiu said: "Because I decided not to use you as a coachman anymore." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Actually, tomorrow I won't be your coachman either." Gong Jiu said: "Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Tomorrow you will find out that I am definitely a free person, and there will be no shadow of a cat's paw by my side." Gong Jiu said: "Then you can watch it tomorrow." Lu Xiaofeng walked slowly towards the door, and said happily: "Tomorrow, what a word full of hope!" There were no flowers in the room, but it was filled with the fragrance of flowers, soft and faint, just like Ximen Chuuxue. Lu Xiaofeng leaned on a soft chair made of green wings, watching Ximen Chuuxue. The wine in Ximen Chuuxue's glass was light blue, and the snow-white clothes on his body were light and soft. The sound of the flute, which is softer than the spring breeze, seems to be very close, but also seems to be far away, but the person playing the flute cannot be seen. Lu Xiaofeng sighed, and said, "Have you ever been really troubled in your life?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "You asked me this question before." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Your previous answer was no." Ximen Chuuxue said: "You have a very good memory." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What about now?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Yes." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What troubles?" Ximen Chuixue said, "The trouble with the beard." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue's smooth face, and said, "Are you troubled because you don't have a beard?" Ximen Chuixue said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "No?" Ximen Chuixue said, "I'm worried because you don't have a beard." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh? Why?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Because you begged me to help you last time, I said unless you shave your beard clean, whatever you want to do, I will go with you." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I remember, that was the first time I shaved for someone else." Ximen Chuixue said: "Now that you have shaved your beard clean again, I know that my troubles have come again." Lu Xiaofeng drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and looked at Ximen Chuixue. Ximen Chuuxue lightly sipped the light blue wine in the glass, and said, "This wine is suitable for tasting slowly." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know." Ximen Chuixue said: "Then why did you drink it all in one gulp?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I'm waiting for you." Ximen Chuuxue said: "Wait for me, what are you waiting for?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Wait for a word from you." Ximen Chuixue said, "What are you talking about?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you relieve my troubles." Ximen Chuuxue drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put down the glass and said, "I'll go with you no matter what you are going to do." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Now you can pour two more glasses of wine, we can enjoy it slowly." Lu Xiaofeng raised the wine in his glass and said, "A word for you." Ximen Chuixue said, "For your beard." The two laughed and sipped lightly. The sound of the flute has disappeared, but the sound of the Guqin is wafting loudly and Cong Cong. Lu Xiaofeng asked: "Have you changed your preferences?" Ximen Chuixue said: "No." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then why did you change to Guqin?" Ximen Chuixue said: "The sound of the flute is melodious, but its cleaning effect is not as loud as that of the Guqin." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Cleansing effect? ​​Cleansing what?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Murderous." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Clean up the murderous aura?" Ximen Chuuxue nodded. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Whose murderous intent should be purged?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "The people in the carriage." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You can feel his murderous aura?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Very strong murderous intent." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you know who he wants to kill?" Ximen Chuixue said, "It's definitely not me." Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's not just me." Ximen Chuixue said, "Who else?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "There are also Monk Honest, Shaman and Xiaoyu." Ximen Chuixue said, "I have two questions." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the problem?" Ximen Chuixue said: "First, why did he kill the honest monk?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "What about the second one?" Ximen Chuixue asked, "Who are Shaman and Xiaoyu?" When Lu Xiaofeng finished talking about his experience, the wine on the table was gone and the dishes were cleared. Ximen Chuuxue looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a look of reproach in his eyes. Ximen Chuixue said: "You have caused quite a lot of trouble." Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's why I came to look for you." Ximen Chuixue said: "I know how to deal with it, you'd better get a good sleep so that you can go on your way." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Can I say two words?" Ximen Chuixue said: "I can't." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Because I know what those two words are." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You know?" Ximen Chuixue said: "I know." After taking a sip of wine, he said: "I'd rather you keep those two words in your heart." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then I will put the word 'thank you' in my heart!" Lu Xiaofeng smiled and drank the wine.
