The first floor of Luhua Tianxia

(08)

Finally remembered to write a love line...

------

Lu Xiaofeng didn't think much about some things, such as who killed Mr. Dongfang, and where Huo Xiu was, because he still had a place to go and something he had to do.

Now he already knew that after Huamanlou promised him the day before yesterday, he had indeed set off to return to Yuxiu Villa.

The courtyard is deep, and Lu Xiaofeng has been sitting in the endless backyard of Yuxiu Villa for a long time.This may not be considered a yard at all. There are not only water fence flowers blowing lotus leaves in the wind, but also winding green water and steep green mountains when you look up.

In the hot summer, this is really a good place to escape the heat.

At this moment Lu Xiaofeng could only feel the fire burning,

The ice cubes in the wine glass in his hand were melting, and his back was already wet with sweat.

But his face looked calm,

Because Hua Ruling was sitting opposite him.

"It's a coincidence that Mr. Lu came, "Hua Ruling is wearing a yellow brocade robe with embroidered embroidery even in this temperature.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "I'm just here today to try my luck, Playboy seldom stays here."

Hua Ruling nodded, "That's true, but Lou'er came back a few days ago." He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and continued, "He said that this year's summer is particularly hot, so he plans to stay in Yuxiu Villa for a while Cool off."

"But he left suddenly last night."

Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask a hundred questions, but he was afraid that Hua Ruling would see something, so he could only take a sip of the wine in his hand, and after sitting for a while, he had no choice but to get up and leave.

Hua Ruling didn't want to keep him either, so he asked Hua Ping to come out to see off the guests.

Hua Ping sent him all the way to the outermost copper gate, and handed him a piece of paper,

"This is what the master asked me to give to Mr. Lu."

The moment he touched it, Lu Xiaofeng understood that this must be the paper that made Huamanlou leave last night. This paper is thicker than ordinary ones. There is no pen or ink on the paper, but marks were pricked with a thimble.

No matter who wrote this note, the person he is going to deliver must be Hua Man Lou.

Lu Xiaofeng unfolded the note and heaved a sigh of relief.

This incident still happened. Doesn’t any worrying thing always happen? The more a person is afraid of something to avoid, the more he will always encounter this incident head-on in the end.

He was not surprised at all that the words Shangguan Feiyan was written on the paper,

Suddenly, he discovered another thing, a thing that shocked him far more than the name,

This paper is from Huo Xiu's Xiaolou.The paper has gold leaf inside and sandalwood on the paper, which is the paper he only uses when he writes by himself.

Lu Xiaofeng's face was already turning blue, because he thought again that apart from these two facts, the connection between them was even more creepy. He could figure out that the person at the other end of the note was Huo Xiu, and Hua Man Lou can tell by moving his nose casually.

Such a note that clearly wants Huamanlou to see the way out, and Huamanlou will leave because of such a deliberate note, which of these two things is more terrifying?

Lu Xiaofeng began to feel that maybe the Bayeux drug had begun to work. When did his imagination become so amazing and uncontrollable.

------

Lu Xiaofeng has always been a very confident person.He has no dissatisfaction with himself, his drinking capacity, martial arts, courage, and whether it is his unparalleled two fingers or two beards.Of course, he is also very confident in the friends he makes.

From the thief with thousands of faces to the boss who studied under Lu Banmen, and Ximen Chuuxue who has turned into a fairy, there is nothing about these people that makes him have no confidence in them.

In addition to flowers everywhere.

He used to have great confidence in Huamanlou.

"There are dust and wine stains on the clothes, and you can't travel anywhere without losing your soul. This body fits the poet Wei, and Xiao Yu rode a donkey into the sword gate."

On the wall are poems inscribed by Lu Fangweng himself, and Lu Xiaofeng is naturally staying in Huo Xiu's small building now.

With him was another friend of his who was once very confident.

Thinking of these things, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help sighing, the good wine in front of him was also tasteless.

"Lu Xiaofeng, there are still things in this world that can make you sigh."

"I'm just sighing for this mural and also for the person who wrote the inscription doesn't deserve it."

"Lu You has been thinking about being able to gallop on the battlefield all his life, but he has never been able to display his extremely confident military talent, leaving him a poetic name all his life." Lu Xiaofeng said slowly, and went to look at Huo Xiu who was sitting in front of him.

"According to your taste, why do you only fall in love with such a depressed poet? Have you found any common feelings in him?"

Huo Xiu was still that tough old man, he was still sitting on a small but delicate chair.The old man at this age rarely showed any excitement, but when Lu Xiaofeng asked him, his expression changed,

Lu Xiaofeng then asked again,

"Actually, your lightness skills, internal skills, and acupuncture skills are by no means inferior to anyone today, and you are not inferior to me. However, you have no reputation in the world. Anyone who mentions Huo Xiu can only think of your withdrawn character. You The rich jewels and that lonely little building."

Huo Xiu smiled, but there was no smile in the corner of his eyes,

"Lu Xiaofeng, who do you think is the richest man in the world?" He suddenly asked,

After hearing Huo Xiu's question, Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback.The Hua family in Guangling, the Murong family in Jinling, together with the Yuehua Building, which has made a lot of money, and the Wuwei Gang, the maritime overlord along the southeast coast, already have four parts of the world in Jiangnan alone.If you want to add Guanzhong, Guanwai, Guanxi, and Lingnan, there are too many rich people in this world to count.

As if seeing what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking, Huo Xiu said again, "Those people's wealth is not worth mentioning in my opinion. The world's wealth is one stone, and I have already divided eight, and the rest only share the remaining two. fight."

He looked at Lu Xiaofeng with a calm and resolute look, "I gave up the chance to become famous, willing to be a withdrawn rich man, but what I get is not worth it."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "Whether it's worth it or not is up to me."

Huo Xiu lowered his head, and when he looked at Lu Xiaofeng again, his face showed a tired look that he never would have.

"Have you already guessed?"

Lu Xiaofeng restrained his smile, "Since it's a guess, it must not be a hit. I can guess the relationship between you and Tsing Yi Lou, but I can't figure out the mystery of the two letters."

"Then can you guess why I asked you to come today?"

"I happen to know this." Lu Xiaofeng raised two fingers, "You should have two reasons for showing up to me, one is naturally because you want the unwritten letter, and the other is that you want to ask me for help."

"As expected of Lu Xiaofeng, both points are correct," Huo Xiu said, his voice suddenly cut off, and when he said this, Lu Xiaofeng had already placed the two pieces of paper with silver gray and dark patterns on the table in front of him.

"This was originally yours," Lu Xiaofeng said.

Huo Xiu stared at the two pieces of paper for a while, then asked, "Where's the black envelope?"

Lu Xiaofeng also paused for a few seconds, "Could it be that the envelope is also very important?"

Huo Xiu glanced at him, then suddenly stood up from the table, walked past Lu Xiaofeng, and walked to the painted wall with the inscription,

"How can I be the owner of the first floor in Tsing Yi, an old man who is dying." He looked at the inscription without moving,

"Lu Xiaofeng, you don't need to ask me who is the owner of Qingyi Building, because I don't know how to tell."

"Huo Xiu, the richest man in the world, and his small building are only a part of Tsing Yi Building, perhaps a very important part. I am the heavenly official on the first floor of Tsing Yi Building."

He turned around again, walked back to the table, stretched out his hand and slapped the clay off the wine jar on the table, picked it up and drank it, and then continued,

"Wealth and power are interdependent. For a ubiquitous and omnipotent organization, money is the soil for its germination and the cornerstone of its great career. Tsing Yi Lou is a heavenly official who holds financial power, and Huo Xiu is that day official." .”

"I carefully concealed my martial arts and whereabouts for the sake of being a heavenly official. After all, it is more suitable for this role than being famous in the world like you Lu Xiaofeng, doing things secretly and making a fortune silently." Huo Xiu slowly moved the two pieces of paper hold in hand,

"There are no words on the letter paper, because the letter paper is originally reserved for people to write. These two pieces of paper represent the heavenly officials. As long as one of them is written with the name of the previous heavenly official, the name written on the other will become the next one. "

Huo Xiu said again, "The black envelope and its stamp are the successor envelope. The letter paper is new, but the envelope is always the same. I think you have also discovered that it is a somewhat rough envelope. "

Lu Xiaofeng is cowardly, "You mean, if I take the inkstone now, write you Huo Xiu on one piece, and me Lu Xiaofeng on the other piece, and put it in the black envelope, I will be the next Heavenly Official and take over Qingyi Building all the money?"

Huo Xiu nodded,

"But you're still sitting here."

Huo Xiu showed a strange smile, "The Tsing Yi Building only values ​​tokens, not personnel. Whether I am still on the letter has nothing to do with it. If there is another name written on it, it only means that my real name does not match , it doesn’t matter.”

Lu Xiaofeng's expression also became strange, "I have already returned the letter to you, and I can also give you the letter. What do you want me to do for you?"

"Compared to what I want you to do, you don't want to know why I think you will help me?"

Lu Xiaofeng sat here for so long, and listened to him talk for so long, only then did he really frowned,

"We have been friends for many years, you naturally know me very well. It can be said that you understand me better than Sikong Zhaoxing, Ximen Chuuxue, and even Zhu Ting." Lu Xiaofeng said,

"Since you came to me and told me the secret of this Tsing Yi Building, you must have already had something that I can never say no to."

"So, I promise you." Lu Xiaofeng said lightly,

Huo Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

"Can I see Huamanlou now?"

Huo Xiu raised his head again, he looked straight at Lu Xiaofeng, "Why do you think I'm talking about Huamanlou?"

Lu Xiaofeng frowned even deeper, "Isn't it?"

Huo Xiu suddenly sighed, "Lu Xiaofeng, have you forgotten that you still have the poison of bay leaves. Do you think that Mr. Dongfang is joking with you?"

Lu Xiaofeng was shocked all over, as if he really didn't remember this matter.

"Are you feeling very flustered now? It's like there's an extra scorpion crawling on it?" Huo Xiu asked again, as if he really cared about him. After all, he had never seen Lu Xiaofeng show such an expression before.

"Because in your opinion, you would rather Huamanlou fall into my hands than Shangguan Feiyan's."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't refute, his heart was beating so hard that he could hardly breathe.

Huo Xiu continued, "Shangguan Feiyan and I can never be together, no matter what kind of relationship it is. Because she and I have never been the same kind of person, and there are very few vicious women like her in the world."

"Unfortunately, Huamanlou doesn't think so," Lu Xiaofeng said suddenly, even he was taken aback, "Because love is blind."

Huo Xiu was also shocked by the tone of his words,

"Why do you think so?"

But Lu Xiaofeng closed his mouth and refused to say more.

Huo Xiu stared at him for a while, an inexplicable gentle expression gradually appeared on his face, "Lu Xiaofeng, I really know you too well, I know you better than all your good friends put together."

"Because I can use a note with Shangguan Feiyan's name on it to make Huamanlou come out of Yuxiu Villa."

His voice is getting lower and lower,

"So, it's not surprising that you can think that way."

They are still sitting on both sides of the wooden table, but the wall with the painted inscription is slowly rising,

Hua Manlou was sitting on a stone chair behind the hidden door.

"Lu Xiaofeng, he just got a few acupuncture points pressed by me, he can't make a sound or move, the rest is fine, do you want to go over and untie his acupuncture points?"

These few steps must be the longest road he has traveled. When Lu Xiaofeng walked over, he didn't dare to look at Hua Manlou's face, nor did he dare to think about the expression on that face.Huo Xiu only touched his acupoints, but did not plug his ears. Hua Manlou's ears would not miss any sound.

"Are you poisoned?!"

Lu Xiaofeng finally heard his voice again, the first sentence Huamanlou uttered almost made Lu Xiaofeng cry, because he was about to forget just now, no matter what others say, no matter what the situation is, Huamanlou will always He cares so much about him.

"Lu Xiaofeng!" Seeing that he was silent, Hua Manlou was anxious, grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse,

"He's fine for the time being, Bayeux's poison will only slowly erode his mind, and won't hurt his body,"

Huo Xiu was still sitting not far away, "Hua Manlou, can you agree now to do those two small things for me together?"

Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was completely defeated today,

He was only worried that others would use Huamanlou to contain him, never thought that today Huo Xiu would take Huamanlou with his life.
