The first floor of Luhua Tianxia

(14)

I can't write emotional lines well...

------------

"Are you worried?"

Trapped in the territory of the Demon Cult, with nothing to do in the freezing cold, it was hard to pass the long night.

Lu Xiaofeng usually spends the time that is difficult to kill drinking.It is dark for more than ten hours, usually too sober people will always think too much and think too far in this quiet time,

For example, the building in front of you is full of flowers.

"I'm thinking about the day."

The jewels delivered during the day were still scattered on the ground, Lu Xiaofeng piled them all up in one corner.Among them, the big night pearls are like stars and moons, and although the indoor light does not reach daytime, it also avoids the smoke from the lamp.This pearl light cast a shadow on Hua Manlou's slightly furrowed brows.

Things were really weird during the day, and things were also weird last night.Who is that person at the banquet, who is Yu Tianbao?It's not that you can come up with the result just by thinking about it. Nine out of ten people who are in it will come up with the wrong result if they think about it.Starting from that Tianyu flower, Huamanlou could no longer watch from the sidelines, and how did he, Lu Xiaofeng, get so caught up in it?

How many of them, and who was the first to fall into the trap?

If he kept thinking about these questions, Lu Xiaofeng's head would have been aching long ago. He just wanted to persuade Hua Manlou to have a drink, so he could explain it to him.

"Brother Lu, why do you think there are Hu merchants here?"

He didn't think about so many troublesome problems, but he was struggling with the group of foreign businessmen.

Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the corner, "Without them, where would Zuo Xuan get jewelry to give me as a gift?" He purposely sighed heavily, and put the onyx cup in his hand on the table again,

"Brother Hua, let's go for a walk."

There is nothing but the cold wind at night, and the iron lamps planted in the cracks of the wall make the surroundings extraordinarily quiet.

In front of the pine forest is the lake, the water of the lake is deep black and brings biting cold.

Across the lake was another pine forest, with a tower in silhouette in the pale moonlight.

Huamanlou turned his head, and he heard the whistling of wings across the sky, and the flock of crows flitting across the lake, their wailing was frightening,

"Where did this crow come from?"

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his hands in the wind, "The other side looks like the Beacon Tower of the Devil's Cult, the crow flew out from there."

As for what was on that stage, he couldn't see clearly from such a distance, only an orange-red silhouette hidden in the boundless cold night.

Huamanlou also rubbed his hands, this is really different from Jiangnan in winter, different cold, cold like a muddy street after a heavy rain, stepping on it, you can't pull it out,

At this time, someone stuffed hand warmers into his hands, and Hua Manlou quickly took them into his arms,

Zuo Xuan handed the other to Lu Xiaofeng,

"You guys are very interested in that pagoda?" He smiled at Lu Xiaofeng, "That pagoda is called the Golden Jade Pagoda. Although it has a good name, it is a deserted pagoda. It will only be used during the Demon Cult's Heavenly Sacrifice," he added He raised his eyes to look at the other side, "This time was originally used to welcome you, as long as you wait patiently."

"Waiting for what?"

Zuo Xuan stood by the water with his hands behind his back, looking at the blurred buildings on the opposite bank, "Wait for the snow. Wait for the heavenly festival in three days."

While he was speaking, Lu Xiaofeng had been secretly watching his expression, and now he asked again,

"Then why are you looking for us?"

Zuo Xuan still stared at the stone pagoda on the opposite bank with fascination, his eyes were as dark as a lake,

"I was not here just now, I missed the good show, I just want to ask you Lu Xiaofeng a question."

Lu Xiaofeng chuckled, "Although you're no longer around, you haven't missed any news." The secret Yu Luocha told him, just now he wouldn't tell Gu Daoren, now of course there's no reason to tell Zuo Xuan,

He was wrong, this was not what Zuo Xuan wanted to ask him.Zuo Xuan finally retracted his eyes from the opposite side, staring at him,

"Lu Xiaofeng, why on earth did you agree to Daoren Gu to come here?"

Hearing this, Hua Manlou also turned around, Lu Xiaofeng was thinking about how to answer, when a figure with a sword in the vast night also came to the water's edge.Last night, all his attention was on Tang Tu, and only then did Lu Xiaofeng realize that the right envoy's saber seemed a bit special, but he didn't understand what was so special about it.

The right envoy strode up to Zuo Xuan, whispered a few words, Zuo Xuan didn't stay any longer, and left with him.

"Brother Hua, are you interested in seeing what they do?"

Hua Manlou made a helpless expression, "I said no, why don't you go?"

Although the night was dark, the two of them followed from a distance, their backs appearing and disappearing from time to time, but fortunately the surrounding area was extremely quiet, and it was not too difficult to follow them just by listening to the wind sound of the robes around them.

The left and right envoys didn't go into the castle, but went around along the black stone wall to the rear.The two of Lu Hua also turned around, and saw that they were standing still in front of a wooden house, and the right envoy knocked on the door and left first.

When the wooden door was closed again, they couldn't hear anything. Although they couldn't hear anything, Lu Xiaofeng saw it again through the window paper.

The figure reflected on the window paper was clearly dressed as the previous team of Hu merchants, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but take a look at Hua Manlou next to him,

"What? Did something happen inside?" Hua Manlou asked him anxiously,

"I want to know that you can come in and see for yourself," Zuo Xuan's voice came from inside the room,

There is nothing in the wooden house, there are no tables and chairs that should be there. On the ground where everyone is standing, there are four big black boxes. The boxes are very long, as long as a coffin, but wider than the coffin.

"Lu Xiaofeng, are you curious about what's inside?" Zuo Xuan motioned to lift the lid,

Inside the box was a man, a man in white.Lu Xiaofeng looked again and found that it was a paper figurine used in the mourning hall. The white paper figurine was wrapped with colored goose silk thread, and the facial features and limbs were drawn vividly.

"This..." Lu Xiaofeng was momentarily at a loss for words,

Zuo Xuan generously asked someone to open another box, inside was a wreath,

"Lu Xiaofeng, is your curiosity satisfied? I just asked Boss Wu to help me prepare some things I need."

The box was closed again, and the two stood there looking at each other,

Lu Xiaofeng cleared his throat and asked, "Why should you do these things instead of..."

Zuo Xuan calmed down, "Because I am the Zuo envoy."

In the Demon Cult, the left envoys are equivalent to civilian officials, and the right envoys are military commanders. Of course, the left envoys are also responsible for the arrangement of these etiquette affairs.

Last night's jewelry was handled by him, and Yu Luocha's funeral was also handled by him.

Lu Xiaofeng subconsciously glanced at Hua Manlou, the corner of the other's eye twitched invisibly, both of them thought of one thing, no wonder Zuo Xuan never carried a weapon among the three members of the Demon Cult, so he was a civil servant.only...

The battle of Mr. Zhang Guanwai came before his eyes again. If the civil servants were like this, what about the right envoys?As for Gu Daoren, at least his "Qi Qi 49 Hand Hui Feng Wu Liu Jian" is widely known.

The more unknown, the more imagination and fear are left blank.As if seeing what the two of them were thinking, Zuo Xuan smiled indifferently, with a haughty tone,

"The famous martial arts in Jianghu are not the most powerful martial arts." He looked directly at Lu Xiaofeng again,

"A person who is famous all over the world may not be worthy of his reputation."

Feeling that the atmosphere was tense, Hu Shang, who was called Boss Wu, said with a smile on his face, "Since everyone has known each other for a while, why don't we meet later..."

Before the sentence was finished, the wooden door was pushed open again, it was the right envoy who went back and forth,

Lu Xiaofeng looked in amazement at the black fur coat outside his dark green robe, which was covered with unmelted snowflakes, and the snowflakes shattered into crystal clear feathers.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the window paper and saw the silhouette of Xuehua, he suddenly pulled Huamanlou up and went outside,

"Come on, let's go see the snow."

------------

The snow in half an hour has already covered the boulders in the wilderness with a layer, and the pine and cypress branches are covered with downy snow, white and emerald, quiet and beautiful.

Hua Manlou has lived in the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child, and has never experienced such thorough snow.Lu Xiaofeng was standing right behind him, watching him feel the feeling of stumbling forward, until he got to the edge of the pine forest opposite, and then called him,

Hua Manlou turned around in his direction, his body was covered with snowflakes, from afar, only a pair of invisible eyes shone with brilliance,

"Lu Xiaofeng!" Hua Manlou waved in his direction,

Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to walk over, someone called him from behind, it was the guards from the Devil's Cult who hurried out,

"The envoy Zuo ordered that it's snowing outside, and you two should put on your furs before rewarding you," he said as he held up the ivory-white fur coats in his hands. There were two fur coats, with crimson linings and bright red ribbons around the necklines, which were very conspicuous. .

"Brother Hua, what is Xueluo's voice, can you describe it to me?" Lu Xiaofeng asked him, frowning in one place because of concentration,

Hua Manlou thought for a while, "Xueluo's voice is different in everyone's heart,"

"I want to know, what does it sound like in your heart?"

The fluffy snow fell on Huamanlou's red face from exposure to the cold, Lu Xiaofeng raised his sleeve to wipe it off, his heart seemed to be clamoring for something.That heart has been unwilling to be quiet for a long time, and it was only in such a silent world that I really heard what it said.

The person in front of him slightly raised his eyebrows, Lu Xiaofeng knew he had lost his composure, and wanted to withdraw his hand,

"Xueluo's voice is 'white'." Hua Manlou answered like this, he gently grabbed Lu Xiaofeng's hand,

The palms are hot and the backs are cold.

Xueluo's voice is 'white', so how could the voice be of one color, or, Xueluo was originally silent, so it corresponded to the original color.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't understand this sentence, but he felt that he understood what Huamanlou meant, as if he could hear the heartbeat coming from Huamanlou's fingers, and the trembling under his own fingers was basically the same rhythm.

He remembered another question he had asked Hua Manlou,

"I, Lu Xiaofeng, neither know how to appreciate flowers nor know the rhythm, but I can become good friends with you Huamanlou. Why?"

"Therefore, there is nothing mysterious about friendship. Even if two people have completely different personalities and temperaments, and their hobbies and interests have not intersected, they can still become confidants after staying together for a long time."

Lu Xiaofeng's heart jumped heavily, he used to never hide his feelings, he loved when he loved, and he walked openly when he left.

Turns out, the answer was there all along.

Although the wind outside him was as cold as iron, the wine was warm, and the people were warm, Lu Xiaofeng stretched out a smile comfortably, and looked at Huamanlou opposite him through the white mist of pearls, thinking of something, the dimpled smile on his face deeper,

"Hua Man Lou, are you afraid?"

"You're afraid they will come looking for me later, so stay here with me." Hua Manlou didn't answer, and filled his empty cup for him.

Lu Xiaofeng swallowed down a cup, but Hua Manlou drank three cups in a row.

This way of drinking, how can you not be drunk.

Lu Xiaofeng used to secretly look at Huamanlou, he always thought that Huamanlou would never find out.Sometimes when I am fascinated, I suddenly come back to my senses and feel a lot of fear in my heart.

Huamanlou could always sense that Lu Xiaofeng was paying attention to him, but he never pretended not to know.

He was afraid to ask, the answer was not what he expected.

People are always so strange, when the expected things are in front of them, it is hard to believe and hesitate.

Hearing Lu Xiaofeng ask if he was afraid, he felt relieved.How could Lu Xiaofeng not know what he wanted, but since he was unwilling to tie his hands and feet in the past, from now on...

Unlimited sourness emerged in my heart, the hand holding the wine trembled slightly, and the wine was spilled, so I had to raise my sleeve to wipe it.

Lu Xiaofeng was looking at Huamanlou again, his eyes didn't blink, his nose was filled with the fresh and faint smell of Huamanlou's body, a few strands of hair that had been messed up after Huamanlou was drunk were drooping on his forehead, his whole body Leaning helplessly on the table,

Seeing that his legs were weak from drinking, Lu Xiaofeng endured for a moment, and could only get up and half-arm him, half-hug him, and gently put him on the bed.

Hua Manlou suddenly grasped his slowly withdrawn hand, and murmured his name,

Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to sit back on the bed again, the hand being held was as hot as a raging fire, and the name he uttered inarticulately was the fire, which burned to the bottom of his heart and penetrated every part of his body,

The wine-soaked clothes have faded aside, and the warm air intensifies the smell of wine, whose breathing and heartbeat are all intoxicated together.

"do not go."

Since he was young, Huamanlou has always been responsive to him in the days of being together.Lu Xiaofeng, who is famous all over the world and proud of everything, and the seventh son of the Hua family of Yuxiu Villa, this should be a good time to stay in the years. When they are old, they will sit together and reminisce about the fun.

Lu Xiaofeng's heartbeat had long been chaotic, he stared straight at the red skin under Huamanlou's neck, and caressed it with his other hand uncontrollably,

Maybe I will not grow old, the carefree prodigal son never waits to grow old,

Hua Manlou still kept her eyes tightly closed, only her slanted eyelashes moved.

"You are frowning again, I don't like it when you frown." His voice trembled violently, he grabbed Lu Xiaofeng's hand even tighter, dragged it to the side of his face and rubbed it lightly,

Lu Xiaofeng's throat tightened, the flashes of light in his mind were about to burst, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

The astringency of wine on the soft tip of the other party's tongue slipped into his mouth, and down his throat, the bitter taste entered his heart. Lu Xiaofeng only realized today that the joy that made him linger on the fireworks in the past can be so mixed.

"Am I the first person to treat you like this?" Lu Xiaofeng asked after taking a breath,

Hua Manlou laughed lightly, her limp body trembling slightly under Lu Xiaofeng's hands,

The white pearls dimmed, and the sense organs were as fragile as cicada's wings in the darkness. Every time he took a breath, his internal organs trembled. Lu Xiaofeng simply closed his eyes. Since this was what he wanted and what he wanted, even if it was an occasion Drunken dream, but also to fulfill the mind.
