Seven Chapters of Facial Paralysis

On the second day after Huamanlou and Tang Wuxun arrived at Peach Blossom Fort, Lu Xiaofeng only appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he secretly found an opportunity to drag Tang Wuxun to a corner where no one was around and told him one thing——Hua Ruling wanted him to come to Peach Blossom Castle tomorrow. In the evening, he pretends to be the Iron Shoe Thief to find Hua Manlou, let Hua Manlou attack him, and then he fakes his death, so as to eliminate Hua Manlou's psychological shadow of the Iron Shoe Thief.It is said that Hua Manlou has always felt that the iron shoe thief is not dead. This idea has become an obsession in his heart. If he is not allowed to kill the iron shoe thief himself, he will be unhappy for the rest of his life.

"Are you going to lie to him?" Tang Wuxun frowned.

Lu Xiaofeng laughed dryly, "Don't say that, we are doing it for his own good, the iron shoe thief is obviously dead, Uncle Hua's father watched him be buried, if Huamanlou keeps thinking about him like this, he will never Don't worry, so brother Tang tomorrow night, don't take action against me, if you do, I will die."

Tang Wuxun stared at him for a long while, his cold and inorganic eyes almost forced him to sweat, before he said: "I believe him."

"...You are a stick of wood!" Lu Xiaofeng said angrily, "Uncle Hua has already said that the iron shoe thief was killed by him and the five masters. Could it be that Uncle Hua still lies?"

Tang Wuxun sneered, and said, "Let me ask you, did the Iron Shoe Bandits commit many major crimes in many places overnight?"

"Yes!" Lu Xiaofeng looked strange, "Didn't I just say that?"

"How can a person appear in so many places overnight? Could it be that he can fly into the sky and escape from the ground?" Tang Wuxun looked at him mockingly, "It's useless for you to claim to be the most intelligent person in the world, why didn't you even think of this? If the shoe thief can do this, then he is not alone at all, and more likely an organization, so the one who died back then may not be the complete iron shoe thief. Do you really believe that he is the reincarnation of some evil star?"

It was rare for him to say such a long sentence, but every sentence hit the point. Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a while, and finally said unwillingly: "If the Iron Shoes Bandit is really an organization, then why did this organization disappear after that person died? Didn't you do any crime?"

"How do I know?" Tang Wuxun turned around and left, leaving only one sentence, "Qi Tong has always been smart, you have to be careful not to be caught by him."

The contempt in his words was too strong, Lu Xiaofeng frowned instantly, "You mean I'm not as smart as him?"

Tang Wuxun ignored him, and Shi Shi ran away.

In the evening at the Hua family's family dinner, Tang Wuxun finally met Father Hua, the six elder brothers of the Hua family, and Hua Manlou's nephews and nieces. After the Hua family's appraisal, he was officially stamped as a "steady, reliable, good young man" Poke, replacing Lu Xiaofeng and becoming Huamanlou's most popular friend of the Hua family.

Brother Hua, whom he met before, secretly pulled him aside after dinner and told him: "You can't make a move tomorrow night, your method is too cruel, I'm afraid Lu Xiaofeng will have a psychological shadow."

Tang Wuxun nodded silently—in fact, he didn't think their plan would succeed at all, Hua Manlou was so smart, and his hearing was extraordinary, he would definitely be able to recognize that person as Lu Xiaofeng's.

The next day was Hua Ruling's [-]th birthday, and Peach Blossom Fort opened to welcome guests. The whole morning was full of people's voices. Fortunately, Tang Wuxun lived in the courtyard of Huamanlou, and it was not specially built for Hua Ruling's birthday. Ziwei Pavilion in the guest house, otherwise he would definitely be disturbed.

At noon, he had lunch with Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng. After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't tell him the plan of Lu Xiaofeng and others. The whole family didn't believe him, and even planned to deceive him. But Tang Wuxun always felt a little sympathetic towards him, but sympathy belonged to sympathy, after all, it was the Hua family's housework, it was not easy for him as an outsider to intervene, not to mention Lu Xiaofeng was still eyeing him.

Hua Manlou was eating, and suddenly asked him: "Ah Xun, are you in a bad mood?"

"No."

"Then why haven't you spoken?"

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, "Brother Tang is not always talkative..."

Hua Manlou frowned, didn't say anything, he didn't know the reason, he seemed to always feel Tang Wuxun's emotional changes, although Tang Wuxun was always taciturn and didn't show his emotions, but he just knew that Tang Wuxun was in a bad mood now.

"Why don't we go for a walk in the back mountain? Although it's summer now and the peach groves in the back mountain are not in bloom, the scenery is still pretty good," he said with a gentle smile. "We've been back for two days, and I haven't brought any You visited Peach Blossom Castle."

"Hmm." Tang Wuxun nodded with prudence.

When they arrived at the back mountain, they happened to meet a handsome man in his early thirties, Lu Xiaofeng immediately went up to greet him, and introduced him to someone. Only then did Tang Wuxun and Hua Manlou know that this person was Liu Fan. The chief arrester of the sect, Jin Jiuling.

In front of strangers, Tang Wuxun's name is naturally Tang Nineteen—he didn't wear Tangmen's equipment today, after all, Tangmen's equipment is too eye-catching, and there are so many people from the Jianghu in Peach Blossom Castle, it is inevitable that there will be people who were wanted by him before. He didn't want to be recognized as the relatives and friends of those people who were chasing after the mission, so he wore the clothes of Wanhuagu, which at least had attribute bonuses-so Jin Jiuling also regarded him as like Huamanlou Young master of the aristocratic family, he didn't pay much attention to him.He is quite satisfied with this point, after all, people in his line of work always have a bad impression of officials.

Once dressed up, a certain assassin who is very dedicated to his work has long black hair, a low-key and luxurious black clothes, and various scattered jade pendants and foreheads, standing silently on the side, Watching Huamanlou talk to Jin Jiuling with a blissful attitude, "please forgive me if the hospitality is not good", and then silently find that Lu Xiaofeng has been standing behind Jin Jiuling, grinning at Jin Jiuling's back and pretending to be grimace.

After the three of them separated from Jin Jiuling, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly let out a long sigh, and said, "Every time I see Jin Jiuling, I have an ominous premonition. I always feel that there will be some cases where he appears. I really don't want to see him." ah……"

Hua Manlou laughed, "Everywhere you go, there are cases that happen, obviously you are the one."

Lu Xiaofeng swaggered in front of them with his hands behind his back, his chin raised high and he said, "You're wrong, it's obvious that good things will happen wherever I go, and there will be beautiful women, if you don't believe me, just wait and see .”

The beauty did appear, at the birthday banquet at dusk.

Hua Ruling's birthday banquet was held in Ziwei Pavilion. This is a building with a wide hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people, and there is actually a large space in front of the main table. Right now, there is a beauty from the Western Regions wearing a gauze dress that exposes her navel, and a gauze covering her face. She is dancing in this open space. It's almost drooling.

Sitting beside Hua Manlou, Tang Wuxun noticed that his brows were frowning, so he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Hua Manlou shook his head, "It's nothing, I just feel that this wine has a pungent smell of Western Region spices."

Tang Wuxun didn't drink alcohol before, so he didn't notice it, but when he heard him say it, he picked up the wine glass and smelled it, but he didn't smell it, so he took a sip, and it was just like what he said, it smelled of pungent Western Region spices , but this scent can only be smelled after drinking wine, which is really weird.

"Where did this wine come from?"

Hua Manlou raised his chin facing the front, "It's a gift from a guest of Hanhai Kingdom. The old king of Hanhai Kingdom and Daddy have been friends for many years."

Tang Wuxun of the Hanhai Kingdom knows a little bit about it. He used to hunt down a wanted mission target from the Hanhai Kingdom. He knew that the Hanhai Kingdom is a small country in the Western Regions, rich in spices and beautiful women. .

It's just that Huamanlou can't stand the smell, or maybe he can't stand the noise here because he is quiet by nature, so he cupped his fists to apologize to the guests after a while: "I'm too drunk, I'm going back to rest now, please take it easy, everyone. You must have fun." After all the guests waved their hands to say it's okay, he left.

After a while, Tang Wuxun also got up to say goodbye and went back to Huamanlou's courtyard, but saw him sitting at the stone table in the courtyard in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ah Xun, why are you back?" Tang Wuxun heard him just as he appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Too noisy," Tang Wuxun sat beside him, hesitated for a long time before asking, "Are you worried about the Iron Shoes Thief?"

Hua Manlou nodded, with a melancholy expression on his face, "Father's birthday party is so lively this time, with so many guests, maybe he has already sneaked in. I always have a premonition these two days, and feel that he seems to have come .”

He stood up abruptly, "Ah Xun, let's go and have a look around the secret road! Now that everyone is in the Ziwei Pavilion, the villain might have taken advantage of it!"

Tang Wuxun was dragged by him and ran outside the Hua family's ancestral hall, but found nothing.

After checking the game map to make sure there was no one there, Tang Wuxun said, "There is no one around."

He let out a long breath, both disappointed and rejoiced, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be here. Since that happened, Dad has changed the entrance of the secret passage, and he is the only one." People know where it is, and I just want to see if the iron shoes will still come to this old entrance."

"Wait." Tang Wuxun said, dragged him to hide in a bush in the yard in front of the ancestral hall and waited for a long while, but there was still no movement.

After a long time, Hua Manlou sighed, tugged at his sleeve, and turned to smile at him, "Let's go back." He looked very disappointed.

Tang Wuxun understood his startled behavior, because he had lost his composure in the past two days, and the psychological shadow caused by the iron shoe thief seemed to be too serious. Now he is like a frightened bird, but anxious He desperately wanted revenge, and his usual calmness had been forgotten.

"Calm down," Tang Wuxun couldn't help but said, "Your mood has been very unstable these two days, don't be carried away by such emotions."

Hua Manlou froze for a moment, and lowered his head in annoyance. He himself knew that his state was not right, but he couldn't adjust himself, and didn't know how to answer, so he followed Tang Wuxun back to his yard silently.
