Chapter 19 The Nineteenth Way to Get Out of Difficulty

early morning. Foggy, faint fog. It is very refreshing to smell the fragrance of flowers in the morning breeze and see the hazy shadows of flowers in the fog. It's a pity that not many people get up early. Lu Xiaofeng was an early riser, but he didn't have the leisure to walk in the fog to see and smell the flowers. Gong Jiu knows how to enjoy, but he doesn't know how to enjoy elegance. He would rather sleep more and refresh himself than enjoy the coolness of the mist. Beef Soup is a woman, and all women like flowers and moonlight, sunrise and sunset, but it's a pity that the person she follows is Gong Jiu.

A man who likes to sleep until dawn, the woman beside him has no choice but to sleep with him until dawn. Therefore, there is only one person who can enjoy a beautiful morning. Dressed in white clothes like snow, misty white mist, Ximen Chuuxue stood beside the flowers like a stone statue. The fog has cleared. The sun has given off heat. The birds have also begun to chirp. Ximen Chuuxue was no longer standing beside the flowers. Beside the carriage, beside Gong Jiu's carriage. A murderous aura suddenly spread into the car from outside, and Gong Jiu sat up abruptly. Pulling back the curtain of the car, Gong Jiu saw Ximen Chuuxue.

Ximen Chuuxue stood coldly. Then, Gong Jiu saw Lu Xiaofeng. Lu Xiaofeng walked with a smile and waved his hands. Lu Xiaofeng didn't walk very fast, but after a while, Lu Xiaofeng's figure became smaller and smaller. Gong Jiu pulled the rope, but the carriage did not move. Ximen Chuixue drew his sword, stabbed the horse, and retracted the sword, as fast as lightning. Gong Jiu saw such a fast sword for the first time. Lu Xiaofeng's figure became even smaller. Ximen Chuuxue's murderous intent became stronger. Gong Jiu didn't look at Lu Xiaofeng, he looked at Ximen Chuuxue's eyes.

Ximen Chuuxue's eyes also stared at Gong Jiu's eyes. Gong Jiu said: "Why did you kill my horse?" Ximen Chuixue said: "I don't want your horse to catch up with my friend." Gong Jiu said: "What if I want to chase?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Your people will end up like your horses." Gong Jiu snorted coldly and said, "Are you confident?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "Ximen Chuuxue is the most confident person in the world." Gong Jiu said: "Really?" Ximen Chuixue said, "Would you like to try it?" Gong Jiu didn't speak, but was shivered by Ximen Chuuxue's murderous aura.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that this world was really too cute, the birds singing were bright and refreshing, the wind blowing on his body was extremely comfortable, even the weeds on the roadside looked beautiful. Friends, or this world is the most pleasant thing. Friendship is the most indispensable thing in this world. The friendship between Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue is just as light as water between gentlemen, but when Lu Xiaofeng is in danger, Ximen Chuuxue will always draw his sword to help. Although he would ask Lu Xiaofeng to shave off his beard. What does it matter if you shave it off?Doesn't a person become more cheerful when he shaves off his beard?

So Lu Xiaofeng is still very grateful to Ximen Chuuxue. Lu Xiaofeng knew that Gong Jiu would never catch up with him. He stopped and took a deep breath of the cool morning air in the mountains. He touched the shaved area of ​​his mouth and smiled. Because he thought of Sharman, who would be surprised to see that he had only two eyebrows left. But the most surprised person should be the honest monk, he must never have imagined that Lu Xiaofeng actually shaved off his beard, and indeed it was to avoid pursuit, although the person chasing him was not an official of Prince Taiping. Gong Jiu is much more powerful than Prince Taiping's official job, Lu Xiaofeng is not afraid of a hundred officials, but afraid of one Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu's wisdom and martial arts are indeed astonishing. Can Ximen Chuuxue stop Gong Jiu?Can Ximen Chuuxue beat Gong Jiu? Just as Lu Xiaofeng raised his footsteps and wanted to continue walking, he suddenly stopped again. What if Ximen Chuuxue is not Gong Jiu's opponent? Lu Xiaofeng felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. ——If something happened to Ximen Chuuxue, wouldn't I be a sinner? The more Lu Xiaofeng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. ——Ximen Chuuxue faced Gong Jiu for me, why did I just walk away?The sacrifice of a friend is also the sacrifice of both parties, how can Ximen Chuuxue be sacrificed alone?

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng's people flew out like arrows. It is not a forward arrow, but a backward arrow. At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and there was no wind. There are butterflies flying among the flowers. The flying out of the flowers is not a butterfly, but a fly. That kind of big blue-headed fly that flies up and buzzes. Seeing the flies, Lu Xiaofeng could smell blood. The horse is not there, the carriage is not there, and the people are not there. Lu Xiaofeng's men rushed into Ximen Chuuxue's room. All the furniture was as neat as ever, and everything was still spotless.

Where is Ximen Chuuxue? No one could see the whole house except Lu Xiaofeng. A gust of wind suddenly blew into the room, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help shivering. Has the big mistake already been made? Lu Xiaofeng went out, approached the blood-stained ground, and stretched out his palm to shoot continuously. The buzzing flies suddenly became silent, and fell down on the pool of blood one after another. There are only butterflies flying among the flowers, still flying up and down, left and right. Flowers are no longer fragrant, butterflies are no longer beautiful. Lu Xiaofeng stared blankly at the blood on the ground, lost in thought.

"Are you paying tribute to that horse?" When the voice reached Lu Xiaofeng's ears, a hand was also on his shoulder. The voice was that of Ximen Chuuxue, and the hands were Ximen Chuuxue's extremely neatly manicured hands. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. Ximen Chuuxue's smile made Lu Xiaofeng feel warmer than the sun. "Isn't this your blood?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "If yes, would I still be standing here?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh, yes, this is horse blood." Ximen Chuixue said, "Why did you hurry back?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I'm afraid."

Ximen Chuuxue said: "Are you afraid that I will be poisoned by Gong Jiu?" Lu Xiaofeng nodded. Ximen Chuuxue clasped Lu Xiaofeng's shoulders with both hands, and shook them vigorously a few times. Ximen Chuixue said: "Based on your point, if you come to me for business in the future, I don't want you to shave your beard." Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly. This is the price of friendship! Lu Xiaofeng looked at the blood on the ground and said, "You really made me worry." Ximen Chuixue said, "You think I'm going to die?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Ximen Chuixue asked, "Why?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because you are a very clean person, how can you allow a pool of blood in front of your house?" Ximen Chuuxue smiled and said, "Of course I can't tolerate it, but I don't have time to clean it." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't have time?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Yes, you came before I could wash it." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Before I came?" Ximen Chuixue said, "I'm throwing up by the river." Lu Xiaofeng said, "vomit? Vomit?" Ximen Chuuxue nodded. Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why are you vomiting?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Because I saw a person whose behavior was so ugly that I had to vomit." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "Gong Jiu." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Gong Jiu? What's wrong with him?" Ximen Chuixue said: "He begged me to hit him." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Did you fight?" Ximen Chuixue said: "No. The gaze of the master before the attack must not be negligent. I thought he was deliberately disturbing my concentration." Lu Xiaofeng said: "And then?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Then he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself in the face." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You still ignored him?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "You are right. I am still staring at him intently." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What should he do?" Ximen Chuixue said, "He was whipped." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Whose whip?" Ximen Chuixue said: "It's beef soup. The beef soup kept hitting him, and he rolled on the ground, screaming with joy." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What should you do?" Ximen Chuixue said: "I'll rush to the river and spit out, or else..." Lu Xiaofeng said: "What else?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Otherwise I'll spit on the ground, and I won't be able to live here anymore." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then I'm afraid I will pay you a house." Ximen Chuixue said: "Do you know how much my house is worth?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "How much is it worth?" Ximen Chuixue said, "Do you know Huo Xiu?" Lu Xiaofeng smiled. How could he not know Huo Xiu?How could he not know about old man Huo, who is wealthy but likes to live a hermit life and has a withdrawn personality? He still clearly remembers that time, when he was lying comfortably on the bed and drinking, suddenly three weird people who were famous all over the world came. Yu Hen, one is the "heartbroken swordsman" Xiao Qiuyu who chanted "Autumn Wind and Autumn Rain Sorrow Sharen" all day long, and the other is Dugu Fang who "walks alone for thousands of miles". It is rare for these three people to be together, and what is even more strange is that not only did they all get together, but they all became Princess Danfeng's bodyguards. When Princess Danfeng also entered his room and suddenly knelt down to him, he smashed through the roof and fled. The place where he hid from Princess Danfeng was Huo Xiu's residence.It was a wooden house, but it was priceless. Because it was originally the summer chant place of the great poet Lu Fangweng, and there were poems written by Lu Fangweng on the wall. But the house was demolished by Liu Yuhen, Xiao Qiuyu and Dugufang in an instant. As soon as Princess Danfeng makes a move, Huo Xiu will be compensated with fifty taels of gold. Fifty taels of gold can build several houses! But Lu Xiaofeng thought that the wooden house was worth 30,000 to 40,000 taels of gold. Now Ximen Chuuxue suddenly asked this question, does he also think his house is worth so much gold? So Lu Xiaofeng made it clear: "You want to compare your house with old man Huo's?" Ximen Chuuxue shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong." Lu Xiaofeng said: "I guessed wrong?" Ximen Chuixue said: "I'm just saying that any house is priceless." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Because the people in the house may one day become famous everywhere." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You're right at all, the old man Huo's wooden house was nothing more than a pile of wood when Lu Fangweng was singing, but after Lu Fangweng's poems were appreciated by the world, it became When old man Huo lived, it was priceless." Ximen Chuixue said: "So if I can't live here, you can't afford this kind of house." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You are wrong, I can afford it." Ximen Chuixue said, "Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I don't have to pay you at all now. After hundreds of years, when people in later generations will still know that there is Ximen Chuuxue, I have already become immortal." Ximen Chuixue said: "I found out that you will play tricks." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Even if it is, it can't be blamed on you, because you won't move out now." Ximen Chuuxue said: "This time you are wrong." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Oh?" Ximen Chuixue said, "I'm going to move out soon." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "Because, this place is suitable for you to live in." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Suitable for me to live?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Gong Jiu must have thought that you had already left, and never thought that you would come back, so no matter how many eyes and ears he sends out, no matter where his eyes and ears are to find out, he will never find out your whereabouts again." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Because I can rest easy with you." Ximen Chuixue said, "It's absolutely correct." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then what about you?" Ximen Chuixue said, "I'll go." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Where are you going?" Ximen Chuuxue said, "I'm going to learn Buddhism." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Learn Buddhism? With whom?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Of course with the monk." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Which monk?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Honest monk!" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Honest monk, do you understand Buddhism?" Ximen Chuixue said, "I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng said: "You don't know? If you don't know, you still need to learn from him?" Ximen Chuixue said: "I only learn one trick from him." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Which move?" Ximen Chuixue said: "Sit in your arms and stay calm." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Sit still in your arms? What are you doing here?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "When you learn to face two beauties, you won't be distracted." Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who are the two beauties?" Ximen Chuixue said: "One is called Shaman, and the other is called Xiaoyu." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "You mean, you're going to pick them up here?" Ximen Chuuxue said: "Do you have a safer and better method than this?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yes." Ximen Chuixue said, "Please tell me." Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's just that we can't do it for the time being." Ximen Chuixue said, "What method is that?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "The way to kill Gong Jiu." Lu Xiaofeng believed in Ximen Chuuxue's character, his ability, and his martial arts. So he lay comfortably in front of the house, enjoying the fragrance of flowers, sunshine, breeze and fluttering butterflies. Lu Xiaofeng's mood fluctuated with the flying butterfly, and flew to Shaman's body. He longed to see Sharman. He suddenly had a feeling of retreating from the arena. He has been in the Jianghu for a long time. Although he is still young and has a hot heart, he suddenly feels that the Jianghu is treacherous and the smell of blood is too strong. He only hoped to get together with Sharman, find a small island, or return to the little old man's island, and live in Sharman's former house, no longer asking about right and wrong, no longer holding a sword. He looks at his hands. ——If you don’t take a sword, what do you take? —Brow pencil? He couldn't help laughing. Then he heard a sound. It wasn't his laughter, but the sound of a horse's hooves on the ground. Not one horse, nor two, three, or four horses, but the sound of a dozen or twenty horses galloping on the ground. He stood up abruptly. When the sound of galloping horses became clearer and louder, Lu Xiaofeng made a decision. He decided to hide. So with a "whoosh", he disappeared into the flowers. —Who is it? This was the first question that Lu Xiaofeng thought of in the flowers. ——Is Ximen Chuuxue betraying him? This is the second question that Lu Xiaofeng thought of in the flowers. One of these two questions has an immediate answer. Because the galloping horse had stopped in front of Ximen Chuuxue's gate. A total of twenty horses and twenty men. Twenty people who had jumped off their horses. Twenty men in black suits. Lu Xiaofeng recognized one of them. The one that takes the lead. Eagle Eye Seventh!The person who takes the lead is Eagle Eye Lao Qi, the chief scoopman of Twelve Links. ——Who is Eagle Eye Lao Qi looking for? ——Looking for Ximen Chuuxue or Lu Xiaofeng? - What's the matter? Lu Xiaofeng only knew one thing. The person Hawkeye Lao Qi came to look for was not him, but Ximen Chuuxue. Because when Eagle Eye Seventh knocked on the door, the words were: "Twelve Links, Eagle Eye Seventh, begging to see Mr. Ximen." So Lu Xiaofeng proved that Ximen Chuuxue did not betray him. He felt a pang of shame. He repeatedly warned himself in his heart: You must trust and have confidence in your friends. So he took another deep breath of the sweet scent of flowers carried by the breeze. But he didn't sit down or lie down peacefully. Instead, he quickly launched his lightness kung fu and chased after the direction where Hawkeye Lao Qi disappeared. Because he still has a big question in his mind. ——What did Eagle Eye Old Seven come to find Ximen Chuuxue? Eagle Eye Lao Qi is the head of the Twelve Links, the power of the Twelve Links is far beyond the Great Wall, and even black and white have his disciples. No matter where Eagle Eye Lao Qi goes, he should be able to cover him well, and he is very warmly greeted by the locals, both black and white. Therefore, the place where Hawkeye Lao Qi settled down should be a big town or village. Lu Xiaofeng was wrong this time.Big mistake. Because Lu Xiaofeng followed the horseshoe print all the way, and suddenly found that the direction Hawkeye Lao Qi and the others were going was not a big village. The place where they settled was just a very casual place, just like finding a place to sit down when they were tired from walking. It was just a relatively open place on the winding mountain road. But they all got off their horses and gathered together, looking from a distance, as if they were discussing a confidential matter. Lu Xiaofeng realized that he was wrong.They didn't talk about things at all, but ate and drank around piles of dry food and stewed vegetables. The sun had already passed the mid-heaven, and Lu Xiaofeng realized that his stomach was also rumbling.But he couldn't sit down and eat. It wasn't that he was afraid of being discovered by them, and it wasn't that he didn't have time to eat, but that he didn't bring any food with him. He had nothing but silver with which to buy food. Silver is of no use on the mountain.So he just hid close and watched them eat. He can not only see their eating, but also hear their conversation. "How about we brothers and sisters going to look through the book tonight, and then go to Chunhong and Taoniang to have fun?" "Flip you big-headed ghost!" "What happened to you!" "Do you know what the one thing I'm most afraid of in my life is?" "What is it?" "It's just touching the door nails. Once I went to do business, but I couldn't find anyone, so I pushed a few Pai Gows. Ha, do you know the result? Twenty-seven consecutive Pai Gows, I got all Pai Gows." "So you didn't see Ximen Chuuxue today, so you don't want to gamble?" "Never gamble." "I advise you to take a good gamble." "why?" "Because if you see Ximen Chuuxue, I'm afraid you may not have the chance to gamble." "You mean we can't kill him?" "I'm afraid it's impossible." "impossible." "Because if you see Ximen Chuuxue, I'm afraid you may not have the chance to gamble." "You mean we can't kill him?" "I'm afraid it's impossible." "impossible." "Are you that confident?" "Of course, the twenty of us suddenly released twenty different hidden weapons when he was completely unprepared. I think it would be difficult for an immortal to dodge it, let alone a mere mortal." Lu Xiaofeng already knew what was going on. Gong Jiu must be because Ximen Chuuxue blocked him, so that Lu Xiaofeng escaped from his sphere of influence, so he held a grudge against Ximen Chuuxue and sent Eagle-eyed Lao Qi to assassinate Ximen Chuuxue. This is the most likely reasoning.And it also proves one thing. As expected, Gong Jiu couldn't find Lu Xiaofeng's trace, which means that Lu Xiaofeng escaped from Gong Jiu's pursuit because he went back to find Ximen Chuuxue. This also proves another thing. Ximen Chuuxue was not noticed by anyone along the way. Lu Xiaofeng felt relieved.He knew that as long as he did one more thing, he would be able to sit peacefully outside Ximen Chuuxue's door, waiting for Ximen Chuuxue to pick up Shaman and the others. Although Eagle Eye Seventh is not addicted to gambling, sometimes he would place a few bets to enjoy himself. But tonight, he just stared at his subordinates gambling, not even the slightest interest in participating. Although he doesn't drink very well, sometimes he can drink ten or twenty bowls full of burning knives without getting drunk. But tonight he only drank two bowls and felt dizzy. People who are worried are usually more likely to get drunk. People with concerns usually have no interest in gambling. Hawkeye Lao Qi was originally a very open-minded person, no matter what happened, he seldom took it to heart. But tonight he has something on his mind, not only tonight, but also recently. Ever since he took such a wrong step, he has something on his mind, and this worry has been weighing him down. He is already the chief executive of Twelve Links, why is he still under the orders of Gong Jiu? He worried that one day, his fate would be like that of Ye Xingshi. Because in this world, he is the only one who knows Gong Jiu's secret. He really shouldn't know Gong Jiu's secret. With his age and wealth, he doesn't have to worry about anything at all, why at that moment, he couldn't stand the temptation of a lot of money and was dominated by Gong Jiu? What's the use of asking for such a lot of money?Is it really going to be taken into the coffin after death? Lu Xiaofeng is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person who values ​​loyalty and benevolence. After the robbery happened, the first person Hawkeye Lao Qi wanted to ask for help was Lu Xiaofeng. But now, Eagle-eyed Seventh wants to obey Gong Jiu's order, and wants to track down Lu Xiaofeng's whereabouts. When Gong Jiu says to kill him, he will be ruthless to kill such a knight. Although Ximen Chuuxue is not a benevolent and brave person, he never kills innocent people. This is enough to be admired in the world. But now, Eagle Eye Seventh was ordered to kill Ximen Chuuxue. So he raised the wine in the bowl again, and drank another bowl suddenly. So he didn't even know when the bet ended. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the table, the huge inn was empty, and he felt drowsy. Then, he realized that the knife on his body was gone. Then, he realized that there was a note in front of him. The note reads: Ximen Chuuxue Chang'an.
