Jianghu are all masters

227.

Cao Zilian covered the forehead that was "accidentally" hit by Lu Zhaoming's sword, looked at A Shan'er who was bleeding from the nose, carefully lowered his voice, and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with him?"

Ashan'er was full of admiration and emotion.

"Brother Zhongyuan!" He wiped his nosebleed and shouted excitedly, "It's amazing!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Hua Liuque only got up at this time, he deliberately combed his hair extremely neatly, changed into his best clothes, took out a folding fan that he hadn't held in his hand for a long time, and put on a handsome and handsome appearance, Looking up into the sky with a slight smile, he said, "Today is really a good day."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan put away the sword manual and stood up, saying: "Everyone is here, let's go."

He didn't want to pay attention to Cao Zilian who had a big bump on his head, and Ah Shaner didn't care that he was having a nosebleed. Hua Liuque simply only had his sweetheart in his heart. Among the group of people, it seemed that he and Da were the only ones. Brother is reliable.

Zhang Xiaoyuan sighed deeply, feeling that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became heavier.

……

Lu Zhaoming asked about the place where the Beggar Clan usually gathers. He was already very familiar with Fengji County, so he took a few people down the mountain and left the suburbs, to the mountain ruined temple where the Beggar Clan disciples used to gather.

Wang Henian has lived in Fengji County for so many years, and he has some contact with the beggar gang here. The disciples of the beggar gang also know Lu Zhaoming. Lu Zhaoming arrested everyone and entered the ruined temple. The disciple took a broken bowl and threw dice around the fire, and when he saw Lu Zhaoming coming in, he greeted him politely and asked him why he came here.

Lu Zhaoming asked them where Liuzhi was. Someone had seen him and Little Lame on the street this morning, but where they are now, maybe they have to look for them.

Zhang Xiaoyuan gave them a few taels of silver and asked them for help. They knew that Wang Henian was not a bad person, and it was something to make money, so they naturally agreed and were very considerate.There are many people in the Beggar Gang, and with the help of the Beggar Gang to find the whereabouts of Liuzhi, Zhang Xiaoyuan will soon be able to Liuzhi and Little Lame, so the next thing they have to do today is to visit Hua Liuque's sweetheart.

The man's painting studio is near the ruined temple, and everyone happened to be on the way, but Hualiuque was so excited all the way, he seemed to be jumping while walking, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't stand it anymore, he frowned and interrupted Hualiuque's fantasy of happiness, asking : "What's the girl's name?"

Hualiuque suddenly froze.

Cao Zilian immediately poured a basin of cold water: "The girl didn't tell him her name."

Hua Liuque's enthusiasm seemed to be dissipated. He walked away for a while with his head sullen, and was suddenly comforted by himself. He nodded vigorously and said, "What's a name! True love doesn't need a name!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Cao Zilian took a step back quietly, winked at Zhang Xiaoyuan and Lu Zhaoming, and said, "He looks like...has he never been deceived before?"

Lu Zhaoming said, "He still has a heart."

Cao Zilian didn't understand: "Sincerely?"

Lu Zhaoming replied: "Dare to love and hate sincerity."

Cao Zilian was thoughtful, but Zhang Xiaoyuan muttered in a low voice: "He has sincerity, and even this sincerity is too easy to give, not only sincerity, but also 'fraternity'."

Speaking of what Hualiuque had done in the past, Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't help frowning, and said, "I still owe a lesson."

Since Lu Zhaoming broke Hualiuque's leg, he has spent a lot of money, at least he is no longer the same as before. This is a good thing, but what will happen in the future... No one can say.

Cao Zilian understood: "I understand, he just lacks discipline. If his wife's martial arts is better than him, don't be half-hearted. In order to save his life, he will stick to his wife."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that what Cao Zilian said made sense, but it seemed that something was wrong, he couldn't say it for a while, and the painting studio was about to arrive, Hua Liuque ran over a few steps ahead, stood outside the chaifei, and cleared the With a very nervous voice, he said, "Girl, are you... are you at home?"

After a long while, a little boy poked his head out, looked outside, was very surprised, and said: "It's the playboy!"

Before Hualiuque could say a few words to the boy, Zhang Xiaoyuan saw a line of words pop out from the boy's head.

"In late autumn, Mei Len'an, the owner of the Sanhua Palace, is accompanying her. She is dexterous and considerate, and has won Melan'an's trust."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was dazed in place, at a loss.

Wait, what?

Is this person an attendant in Sanhua Palace?

Then... Hua Liuque's sweetheart, couldn't it be Lu Yanfeng? !

……

Zhang Xiaoyuan stood by the door, his expression froze, Lu Zhaoming called him several times, but he didn't recover.

He felt that his mind was... messed up.

At the beginning Lu Yanfeng did ask him about Hua Liuque's preferences. At that time, he answered casually, saying that Hua Liuque liked the beautiful big sister the most. He never expected that Lu Yanfeng would believe that. He ran all the way to Fengji County, pretending to be a woman, and even cured his inability to speak.

Yes, Lu Yanfeng can't speak, so he just doesn't say a word at all, and when he has to speak, he writes poems instead. Although it may be a little strange, at least it won't go wrong. Sheng, actually let him successfully put on Hualiuque.

Zhang Xiaoyuan, who had seen through all the secrets, stood outside the small courtyard, his heart was full of embarrassment, he didn't know whether he should go in, nor how he should tell Hua Liuque about this matter.

Other things aside, Ruohua Liuque knows that Lu Yanfeng has that kind of thought for him...

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that Hualiuque would leave a lifetime of psychological shadow.

Hualiuque had already entered the room, poked her head out from the door, and asked, "Why are you still standing and sitting? Come in."

Cao Zilian resolutely refused: "No need, you laugh so disgustingly every time."

Seeing that Cao Zilian wouldn't go in, Ah Shaner said, "Then I won't go in either."

Hualiuque looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan and Lu Zhaoming again.

Zhang Xiaoyuan really didn't want to go in.

But it was only his guess as to whether the person inside was Lu Yanfeng, he was not sure about it, anyway, he still had to go in and take a look.And if that person is really Lu Yanfeng...he still has to tell Hua Liuque about it, and then explain it clearly to Lu Yanfeng, it's always wrong to lie.

Zhang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, summoned up his courage, followed Lu Zhaoming, and stepped into the bamboo house.

Hualiuque was already sitting at a small bamboo table, staring at the blurred figure in the bamboo curtain beside him. The little boy came up to read tea for them. Behind the bamboo curtain, he seemed to have forgotten to introduce their identities. Zhang Xiaoyuan tried very hard to see the information of the person behind him through the gap in the bamboo curtain. The boy smiled kindly at him, introduced himself, and asked why he and this "girl" came here.

That little Tongxian had already answered this question many times, he replied without hesitation: "In today's world, there are so many people who like to go back to the mountains and forests..."

Correspondingly, another line of words appeared above his head.

Xiao Tong: "It's not that the head of the sect ordered me to help Elder Lu..."

Xiao Tong: "We are just following arty style."

Xiao Tong: "Who would have thought that Elder Lu would be so infatuated..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The person inside is indeed Lu Yanfeng.

……

Since this person is Lu Yanfeng, there is nothing to investigate in this painting studio.

Zhang Xiaoyuan had a headache, he really didn't know how he was going to explain all this to Hua Liuque, but fortunately, the most important thing about this matter should be the matter of the second senior brother, and the matter of Lu Yanfeng could be postponed for a while , he can still have some time to think about how to expose the truth so that Hua Liuque will not be so sad.

He sighed heavily, decided to find an excuse, leave here temporarily, and go to the city with the disciples of the Beggar Clan to find Liuzhi's whereabouts.

He had just stood up, and before he could speak, Lu Zhaoming suddenly became alert, grabbed his arm, dragged him back without hesitation, and almost threw him into Lu Zhaoming's arms.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was stunned, before he had time to ask, Lu Zhaoming quickly took a step back with his arms around his waist, and then there was a sound of piercing, a rocket almost brushed past his back, and firmly nailed to the wall behind him.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled, he didn't have time to think about it, the boy screamed in fright, Lu Zhaoming directly set up the bamboo table to cover it temporarily, but since it was a rocket coming in, the bamboo house would definitely not last long, they needed to go out immediately.

Lu Zhaoming lowered his voice and asked, "Tianming Pavilion?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan shook his head.

He didn't know what was going on, and the next moment, Cao Zilian and A Shan'er, who were still in the courtyard, were forced to run into the house to hide. Said: "Suddenly a lot of people appeared—"

There was another rain of arrows, he could only cut off the second half of the sentence, and dodged to hide behind the wall, cursing.

Hua Liuque was startled at first, but the next moment she felt as if she had got a great opportunity.

There is no hesitation!Heroes save the beauty!It's now!

When the rocket was over, he opened the bamboo curtain and rushed into the hut without hesitation. He shouted loudly, "Girl, don't panic! I will protect you—"

There is a table case built in the bamboo house, with a pen and ink guqin on it, and a person sits behind the table case.

With her hair tied up in plain clothes, she slowly raised her head to look at him with a cold expression.

Hua Liuque paused at the spot, swallowing back the original words of the hero to save the beauty, and finally spoke with great difficulty after a long while, saying: "Little...Little Martial Uncle..."

Cao Zilian shouted: "Be careful!"

This time, the feathered arrows did not have flames, but they were tied with kerosene in a small bag on the arrow clusters. The feathered arrows were densely covered, and everyone drew their swords to resist, but Hua Liuque was stunned. The sword, he had no choice but to grab Hua Liuque's hand, almost snatching the sword from Hua Liuque's hand, then pulled the person back, protecting him behind him, and hastily knocked down a few arrows to the ground.

The kerosene splashed in all directions, and the room was ignited with soaring flames almost instantly. The room was filled with black smoke and flames, finally choking Hua Liuque back to his senses.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yanfeng's tone was always cold, as if he was still scolding him, "After learning swordsmanship for so many years, you can't even lift a sword in a critical situation?"

Hualiuque opened her lips several times, but couldn't even say a word.

Zhang Xiaoyuan couldn't stop coughing due to choking, Lu Zhaoming was still holding his waist, his mind was in chaos, suddenly he heard Lu Yanfeng say such a sentence, couldn't help rolling his eyes a few times, subconsciously said: " If you're worried, you're worried—"

Lu Yanfeng: "I haven't."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Lu Yanfeng said: "I'm very angry."

Hua Liuque regained her senses, gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not angry yet!"

Lu Yanfeng said, "I'm angry at you for not being able to protect yourself."

Hua Liuque paused, and the room was extremely quiet, only the crackling of flames could be heard. After a while, Zhang Xiaoyuan choked and coughed again. Looking around, Lu Zhaoming first took Zhang Xiaoyuan and retreated into the courtyard of the bamboo house. Not being harmed, no matter how you say it, is still safer than setting fire to the house.

As soon as he walked out, Cao Zilian and Ashan'er immediately withdrew. Cao Zilian did not forget to take a deep look at the two of them, and said, "Talk about love, and take care of some occasions."

Lu Yanfeng: "..."

Flower Bird: "..."

Lu Yanfeng withdrew his sword, and coldly dragged Hua Liuque into the courtyard through the window.

Cao Zilian stood by the door, looked at the two of them and couldn't help feeling, "I'm really ignorant."

Lu Yanfeng clenched his sword tightly.

Cao Zilian turned around and asked, "Brother, what should I do next..."

He saw that Zhang Xiaoyuan seemed to have accidentally inhaled a big puff of black smoke, and was coughing uncontrollably due to choking. Lu Zhaoming hugged him to comfort him, obviously not hearing Cao Zilian's words.

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed, and said intermittently: "It should be Tian...cough cough...people from Tianming Pavilion..."

Lu Zhaoming replied: "With me here, you don't have to think too much."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said: "They are numerous in number, don't underestimate the enemy."

Lu Zhaoming rarely pursed his lips and smiled at him, and replied, "Okay, they will never hurt me a bit."

Cao Zilian looked at Hua Liuque, then at Lu Zhaoming and Zhang Xiaoyuan, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

What's going on, what's going on with this sudden loneliness!

He decided to turn his head and not look at the people behind him, but there are figures faintly visible in the bamboo forest in the courtyard, they should be the people from Tianming Pavilion ambushing here, there are so many people, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with.

"Most of them are quite high in martial arts." Zhang Xiaoyuan has already noticed the words on the heads of the figures in the bamboo forest, "There are more than a dozen in the top one hundred, four in the top fifty, and one person in the top thirty."

The figure in the bamboo forest was getting closer and closer, and Zhang Xiaoyuan could see it more and more clearly.

"The sword on the left is highly poisonous. The person behind him is going to attack with a hidden weapon. There are not many flying needles. In the melee, remember to be careful." Zhang Xiaoyuan calmly said to the others, "The person on the right is using a soft sword. The weak point is the left shoulder, he's scared."

Lu Yanfeng threw back the long sword in his hand to Hualiuque, looked at Zhang Xiaoyuan with some surprise, then broke off the bamboo branch and held it in his hand.

Cao Zilian was a little nervous: "Why haven't they come out yet, should we... say something?"

No one answered.

Cao Zilian's voice became softer: "I'm even more nervous."

"The rats are young, so naturally they only dare to hide in the dark." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "There is no reason why anyone in this world is afraid of rats."

Ashan laughed loudly: "People from the Central Plains! I like it!"

Lu Zhaoming raised his sword and took a step forward, but asked, "Do you want to keep alive?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled, he suddenly realized that since Tianming Pavilion cooperates with Tang Henghuai, it is tantamount to Lu Zhaoming's mortal enemy, if Lu Zhaoming wants to avenge his father, he might take his anger out on these people, and he doesn't want to see this scene appears.

He didn't want the senior brother to indulge in killing, these people were just following orders, the culprit was Tang Henghuai, and the most damned person was Tang Henghuai.

"Keep alive." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "I can't find out the thoughts of the dead."

Lu Zhaoming nodded: "OK."

The sword is already in hand.

He looked at the bamboo forest, his tone was as calm as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"Come out." He said softly word by word, "My junior brother said, obedient, don't kill."
