The first floor of Luhua Tianxia

(05)

-------

three months ago.

Clothes are as thin as paper, love is as thin as paper.Shangguan Feiyan's mood is colder than the moon hanging in the dark sky.

There are many people who like to gamble, and there are also many female gamblers.Shangguan Feiyan was the most vicious one among them.But now, she has lost the most valuable capital in her life.Shangguan Feiyan really couldn't think of anything to earn.

When she was suffering in her heart, a person had already appeared in the courtyard.

"I knew you would come."

"You really didn't die."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Feiyan's mouth, "Even you didn't realize that the woman whose throat was cut that day was not me. I thought there was nothing in this world that I could hide from you."

"My nose can only smell blood, and the smell of blood is real."

"Yeah, the smell of blood is real," Shangguan Feiyan murmured, "Shangguan Feiyan is dead..."

Hua Manlou couldn't help but frowned, "What exactly are you asking me to say here?"

Shangguan Feiyan suddenly walked into the hall, they were standing in the grand palace-like house that King Jinpeng used for banquets that day, Hua Manlou hesitated for a moment, and followed behind.

"It's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng didn't come today." Shangguan Feiyan said suddenly when he was about to enter the door,

"I forgot, only a playboy would be curious to untie the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's feet."

Shangguan Feiyan's voice suddenly changed, becoming brighter, "Don't worry, I'm not malicious today." They had already entered the hall, and there was a chair in the middle of the hall, and there was a person sitting on the chair.A man chained to a chair.

"What happened before is so offending, today I, Shangguan Feiyan, just want to acquit the playboy," Shangguan Feiyan's tone became more and more relaxed, she pointed at the person on the chair,

"This person is my apology."

"You can go over and touch his face. I didn't lie to you this time. He is Huo Xiu, and he is also the landlord of Qingyi Building. Huo Xiu didn't die in the small building, but he will die here."

Hua Manlou didn't know what to say at this time, because he really didn't know what he was going to do.

"Lu Xiaofeng is not here today, you don't want to kill him for your friend?"

Shangguan Feiyan's voice dropped, she even walked up to Hua Manlou and handed him her sword,

Flowers are all over the building.

Shangguan Feiyan laughed suddenly, not a sneer, nor a sneer, she looked at Hua Manlou with a faint but warm smile, "You are really a good person."

When she turned around, her expression had become grim, and she had already clenched the sword in her hand even tighter. She already had good swordsmanship, although she was still far behind Ximen Chuuxue. Moving the old man is still a breeze.

Hua Manlou also moved at the same time, he blocked Shangguan Feiyan's sword, the tip of the sword had passed through the iron ring in the iron chain on Huo Xiu's body.

The moment the sword stabbed out, Shangguan Feiyan's expression had changed, becoming sad and numb.Her sword had been blocked by Hua Manlou, and tears were already on her face.

"Why did you do such a painful thing?" Hua Manlou asked her,

Shangguan Feiyan burst into tears,

"Is revenge a painful thing? I am not as big-hearted as you and Lu Xiaofeng, and I can't take revenge for myself?"

"If Yan Tiezha and the others can revive and kill him, it will be called revenge." Hua Manlou showed a look of intolerance,

"If you kill him, you will only make yourself painful and regretful."

"What does it matter to you if I am in pain?"

Hua Manlou suddenly found himself unable to answer,

Shangguan Feiyan didn't say anything more, because although she was still barely standing by, she couldn't help herself.

Hua Manlou turned around and walked out, his pace was faster than usual, because he could no longer stay here.He was a soft hearted person.A person who is blind can become extremely sensitive to other people's emotions. Even if he has walked out of this empty house, he still has what Shangguan Feiyan said just now,

She said to herself over and over again in that self-defeating and lifeless tone,

"I love nothing but Horsho's jewels."

Naturally, Hua Manlou did not mention what happened that night to Lu Xiaofeng.

-----

"Do you know what I'm doing?"

Hua Manlou turned his head and thought for a while, "You should be doing something very reluctant and strenuous, because your voice is panting and you feel tired, and your tone is helpless and irritable, as if you are about to start swearing."

"Then can you come over and help me?"

Hua Manlou raised his foot, he did come over, and then opened his apricot-white paper fan that he always carried with him,

"I won't dig this place with you anymore, it's okay to fan the wind for you."

Lu Xiaofeng had already opened that iron cage earlier, and moved that small stone platform away.key?Of course, he used the key Zhu Ting gave him.He also brought a hoe, the hoe should also be made by Zhu Ting, the shape is dexterous, not like a hoe at all.This hoe, which doesn't look like a hoe at all, is really not a good hoe, it's hard to cut even a piece of paper,

Lu Xiaofeng's expression was serious, the cave was stuffy and sweat was already dripping down his face.

When he finally couldn't help cursing, a box appeared underground.

"You remember the day we left, there should be a secret passage leading to the outside under this stone platform."

"So this box was put in after that day." Lu Xiaofeng nodded, then asked Hua Manlou, "What do you think is inside this box?"

"I dare not guess."

"Don't dare to guess?"

Hua Manlou had already put away his fan, and said leisurely, "Last time you dug up the ground and found Princess Danfeng's body, this time..."

A box, a plain black wooden box covered with pine wax.

"There must be something very valuable inside," Lu Xiaofeng said slowly,

"Because Huo Xiu is like this, using the most inconspicuous box to pack the most valuable things in the world."

He stopped suddenly as he spoke,

Hua Manlou asked him, "What's wrong?"

"There is a lock on this box." Lu Xiaofeng blinked his big eyes, "but I don't have the key."

Hua Manlou stretched out a hand towards him, "Give me the key that Zhu Ting gave you."

Lu Xiaofeng was puzzled, "Although Zhu Ting is unparalleled in his skills, Huo Xiu's simple box should not have been made by him."

Hua Manlou said to him, "Go and find a lighted candle next to you."

Lu Xiaofeng did as he did.

Hua Manlou inserted the key into the slot on the box, the key could be turned slightly and then stuck.He dripped the wax melted from the candle on the key, so that the trace of the second turning remained on the key,

"Lu Xiaofeng, go get that hoe again and polish the key according to the trace of the wax. If we're lucky, we'll soon know what's in the box."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him, this method of borrowing a lock is a very basic and common skill necessary to be a thief, he, Lu Xiaofeng, actually knew it, but Hua Manlou actually knew it was very strange, and it was not in line with his style up,

Hua Manlou smiled a little embarrassedly, "I still have a lot of things to know, do you want to grind the keys now?"

The box was opened just like that, there was no trap, Lu Xiaofeng could only be silent after opening,

"Tell me, what's in there?"

Lu Xiaofeng put a piece of paper in Huamanlou's hand,

"Is this the blank piece of paper that is rumored to represent Huo Xiu's entire wealth?" Hua Manlou asked him,

"Didn't you, Lu Xiaofeng, eat that piece of paper?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled helplessly, "Maybe, he actually hides two treasures."
