The first floor of Luhua Tianxia

(04)

---------

Willow silk is slender, and the shadow cast by the sun through the leaves in summer is also slender.The summer in the south of the Yangtze River is really different from that in Kansai. Every plant, every tree, and even the air have a different taste.

Guo Miao was sitting in a tea shop drinking tea, the tea was not good tea, it was bitter and strong, but he didn't notice it every sip.His hands were rough and dark, and the thin teacup he was holding was particularly awkward.

These are the hands of a bodyguard.These hands have always held wine.

Wine is □ □, why be afraid of melancholy.Now that even wine can't relieve his sorrow, could it be that he is already a dead man.

The chief bodyguard of the Kansai Daqi Bodyguard Bureau now has the mentality of a dead man.He sat in this dilapidated tea shop whose signboard was about to fall off, drinking a cup of bitter tea that had turned black. The outside was green with vitality. This was his first time in Jiangnan. None of them could arouse him to react at all.

For a person who escaped hunting and left his hometown, any beautiful scenery is probably the gray of death in his eyes.

A willow leaf fluttered down on the table, Guo Miao's eyes narrowed, and his fingers began to curl up.There is no wind in summer, who blows the willow leaves in.

What Guo Miao used was an old but practical black-backed machete. The machete was bulky, but if you had been using it for more than ten years, it would be better than the most exquisite dagger in the world, so that it could be used Cut out a willow leaf.

Of course, with the willow leaves, the table it was lying on was also split into two under the light of the knife.

The person standing opposite was fine.

"Aren't you hot dressed like this?" Guo Miao didn't make another move, but instead asked, "Would you like a pot of herbal tea?"

He already saw that the person who walked in was not the person he thought, because that person had a happy smile on his face, which was an expression that a killer would never have.It was also because he had made sure of the knife just now, even if the other party was the one who came to kill him, he didn't have to struggle anymore.

"I'm really hot," the man took off his strange cloak, "but we should change a table first."

Not only did they change a table, they changed a store.

"Who are you?" Guo Miao asked.

"A busybody."

Guo Miao's gaze became more bewildered. He saw the person opposite him stroking his beard all the time showing off, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes, it's me," the man preemptively blocked the name he was about to blurt.

Another month and a half had passed since Lu Xiaofeng went to Yuehua Building, there was no trace of the person he was looking for, the unwritten letter was still rumored to be missing, Jianghu's attention had been half-divided by another matter.

Not one thing, but a series.This series first started from the Qingbomen, which is located in the water transport along the Zhejiang River. Like the name, Qingbomen was originally a very quiet gang in the Jianghu. Such a major event as the assassination of a person did not cause any disturbance in the world.Another equally inconspicuous water transportation gang, Baishuiwu, annexed Qingbomen.

"Wait a minute, Guo Miao has never lived in Jiangnan after all," I don't know the names you mentioned at all."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, and then opened again, "Let's put it this way, who is the biggest enemy of your Great Banner Escort?"

"Of course it's the Huangshatang, which is also in Kansai."

"Let me ask you another question that I hope you don't mind. Even if the chief bodyguard of the dignified banner bodyguard is hunted down by his enemies, why did he abandon the bodyguard and flee to Jiangnan so far away?"

Guo Miao was silent,

Lu Xiaofeng tried to persuade again, "Could it be that something has happened that made you feel that you must die this time?"

"Lu Xiaofeng is really a smart person, you know everything from such a long distance."

"I was just guessing." Lu Xiaofeng asked again, "How long do you think this matter can be kept a secret?"

The reason why Guo Miao left was because the Daqi Escort Bureau was about to change hands.Sun Zongzhang of the Daqi Escort was killed half a month ago. The news spread from all over the security agency that the Zongzhang went to send out escorts, but only Huang Shatang didn't buy it. Big Banner Escort.

"Do you know how he died?"

Guo Miao shook his head and nodded again, "I know Sun Dangjia was assassinated, but I don't know who that person is."

"How about Huangshatang?"

"No one in Huangshatang has such martial arts."

"What kind of martial arts?"

"The sword wound was behind the ear. It was extremely narrow but deep. It was venomous but very clean. No bodyguard could do it." He paused, "Master Huang Sha may have this ability, but It's definitely not his style of shooting."

Lu Xiaofeng was thoughtful, "Do you think this style of killing people is a little special but obvious?"

Guo Miao also showed a thoughtful expression, "Actually, after Sun Dangjia's death, several chief bodyguards died in this way."

"So you've got to run away here, hoping that the murderer won't find you."

Guo Miao looked at him, "Did I do something wrong?"

Lu Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder, "You did nothing wrong, you thought wrong."

"A man can kill his enemies without his own hands."

"There's no need for Huang Shatang to do this. Even I know that if I want to invite such a killer, the price I have to pay must be extremely high."

Wealth and power are always the cornerstone of each other, and smart people are often willing to temporarily abandon their wealth in exchange for a higher level of power.

Lu Xiaofeng had already stood up, he had to think of an old friend.

------

Through the bamboo leaves, the moonlight draws grotesque patterns on the ground.In the dappled light stood a man.It was extremely rare for Lu Xiaofeng to wear black clothes, that black overlapped with the shadow behind him, blending into the dark night.

The scenery here that he was familiar with once looked a little different this night.When Lu Xiaofeng passed by Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion just now, he had to think about what happened a few months ago, it was not a pleasant memory.

When he reached the small building on the back mountain, Lu Xiaofeng didn't really want to go in anymore.

Huo Xiu may be dead or alive, but even if he is still alive, he will never stay in this small building again.Lu Xiaofeng was already standing in front of the vermilion door, he was still hesitating.Did he think of something? After all, a corpse that starved to death must not look good. There is a high possibility that the corpse has already stink.

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to retreat,

After all, Huo Xiu had been his friend for many years, and Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to see him rotten with his own eyes.

But now he couldn't turn around and leave, because he had already found a person standing behind him, another good friend.

"Lu Xiaofeng, do you know that I have noticed a certain smell on you two times recently."

"What's the smell?" Lu Xiaofeng said without turning his head.

"The smell of embarrassment." Following his voice, the people in Huamanlou stepped forward together, and stood in front of the small building's door together with Lu Xiaofeng, "Why don't you go in?"

This time Lu Xiaofeng felt even more embarrassed, he suddenly pushed open the red door which was still heavy just now, and stepped in.

"You don't have to be like this." Hua Manlou walked beside and said, "You don't have to be afraid to come to Baihualou to find me."

Lu Xiaofeng was silent, Hua Manlou couldn't see his expression anyway,

"You don't want me to get involved in these dangerous things."

Lu Xiaofeng remained silent again,

Hua Manlou sighed, "But you're afraid that I'm thinking too much, and you think you don't let me participate because I'm a useless blind man. In this kind of conflicted mood, you will say things that I don't understand and you don't understand either." words." Hua Manlou paused, "For example, those fallacies about appreciating flowers and pianos, and friendship."

While speaking, they had already walked to the small stone platform in the small building with ease. The iron cage was still there, and the people inside had turned into bones.Hua Manlou said again, "Actually, I don't understand, what are you looking for here?"

"Zhu Ting said that not long after we left, Huo Xiu bit his tongue and killed himself." Lu Xiaofeng's voice echoed in the cave,

"But when I got the news that Huo Xiu was not dead, I wasn't surprised."

Lu Xiaofeng started showing that weird expression again, "Now you know why I'm embarrassed to find you."

"You already saw that the one in the iron cage was not the real Huo Xiu?"

"Huo Xiu is a very suspicious person. Even his cronies don't know his whereabouts. How could he really wait here and wait for us to settle accounts with him? won't do it."

"But you, Lu Xiaofeng, can tell the truth from the fake."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed heavily, "As you said, Huo Xiu has always been my friend after all, and has always treated me well."

"So you saw it but didn't say it, and just hoped that he would disappear with his jewels."

"But now he is really dead. He caused us so much trouble after death."

"I don't think so."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyes to look at Huamanlou, and the other party seemed to feel his surprised gaze, and smiled, "Otherwise, why do you think I came to this small building?"
