[Comprehensive martial arts] On the conduct of Jinyiwei's commanders

Lu Xiaofeng searched for several hours, but did not see Shen Baizhong.

He found a place to sit down, heaved a long sigh, and had to confirm that they were indeed separated.

Sometimes the more you worry about something, the more something will happen.

Lu Xiaofeng sat for a while, drank a few sips of water, then stood up again, he had to check his camel.

After the sandstorm passed, the camels were no longer afraid, and the boxes and water bags that Lu Xiaofeng asked Zhu Ting to make were hung on the camels. In a short time, it was very unlikely that Lu Xiaofeng would die of thirst or starvation.

As long as you find the oasis, you can find Shen Baizhong.

After figuring this out, Lu Xiaofeng felt happy again. He is not a person who is easy to be pessimistic. The more terrible and difficult the situation is, the more he will have fun with himself.

Life is already difficult, why bother yourself?

After another three or four days, there was still no green in Lu Xiaofeng's field of vision.

He couldn't help doubting his own map. The rivers in the desert are easy to divert, and the plants in the desert always grow quickly for water. When the river diverts, they also wither quickly, so the oasis often changes.

Could the oasis on the map have long since disappeared?

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know.

He has never been in the desert, and all the actions he is doing now are based on his accumulated knowledge and physical instincts. Maybe he is right, and maybe there will be some mistakes.

Mistakes are terrible in the desert, let alone some mistakes.

But Lu Xiaofeng still decided to go on the same way, since he couldn't figure out what to do, he simply followed the plan, and the result would never be worse than this.

One day later, Lu Xiaofeng finally saw the oasis.

Before he had time to be happy, he noticed something was wrong.

It was already late, but the oasis was brightly lit, people's voices were buzzing, and there was a faint smell of barbecue and alcohol wafting over. Lu Xiaofeng climbed up the sand dune and saw a few pieces of red cloth.

Is there someone in this oasis who can't get married?

There are many people in the oasis is strange enough, who would go to the oasis to marry a bride?

The only ones who have the ability to gather so many people in the desert are Jamuhe in the past and Shi Guanyin today, so who is here?

Lu Xiaofeng settled the camel, waited until it was dark, and sneaked in while it was dark.

There is a big lake in the oasis. The water is clear and silvery in the moonlight. When the wind blows, leaves fall into the water.

Outside is a windy desert, dry and cold, but there is such a big lake here, in contrast, it looks like a paradise.

Lu Xiaofeng knocked out a servant, put on his clothes and slipped along the lake. For such a lively wedding, people would gather around the kitchen and the fire, and there would not be too many people by the lake.

It's a pity that Lu Xiaofeng was wrong this time, not only was there someone by the lake, this person was also a master.

A master of restraint.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't hear any movement, but he saw Lu Xiaofeng passing by like the wind in the dark under the moonlight.

Not only is this person skillful in holding his breath, but his lightness kung fu is extremely high, he followed Lu Xiaofeng in an instant, and after a few moments, he faintly wanted to grab the corner of Lu Xiaofeng's clothes.

Except for Sikong Zhaixing and Shen Baizhong, Lu Xiaofeng has never seen such a powerful lightness kung fu.

Who is he?

Could it be that he has been waiting here for Lu Xiaofeng?Was this wedding just a trap for Lu Xiaofeng?

Lu Xiaofeng turned around and fought with him, neither of them said anything, only the sound of breaking through the air, others might not be able to see what was going on, but they had actually exchanged dozens of moves, but in a stalemate, neither could do anything to the other .

This person's hands seem to be very flexible, but Lu Xiaofeng is definitely not bad, who can match his consonance?

Even if it's Shen Baizhong, even if it's Ximen Chuuxue, their fingers can never compare to Lu Xiaofeng's.

As the night wind blew, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smelled a scent.

As soon as he smelled this fragrance, Lu Xiaofeng's movements slowed down, and that person seemed to have confirmed something, and his movements also slowed down immediately.

In the end, both of them stopped, and stood still facing each other.

"This is the scent of tulips." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "You are Chu Liuxiang!"

Chu Liuxiang also laughed, "One finger, you must be Lu Xiaofeng."

"Why are you here?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Have you found your confidante?"

"Not yet." Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "Our water bag was punctured, so we can only enter the oasis here."

"Shen Bai and I got separated, so we only came here."

"How could you get separated?" Chu Liuxiang asked in surprise, "Could it be that you have already met Shi Guanyin?"

"That's not true." Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "It would be fine if we met Shi Guanyin, but we met a sandstorm!"

"It's really helpless." Chu Liuxiang also sighed.

The two of them were silent, feeling that they were very unlucky.

Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to sigh for a second time, he saw the nearby lake. As soon as he saw the lake, he thought of Tianyi Shenshui, and when he thought of Tianyi Shenshui, he couldn't help laughing.

"Chu Liuxiang, I want to tell you something." Lu Xiaofeng held back a smile and said seriously.

"what's up?"

"During the time you were in the desert, Shen Bai and I have finally solved the case of the Jinpeng Dynasty."

"Congratulations."

"Not only did the people behind the scenes get the punishment they deserved, but we didn't have much loss here."

"Isn't that great?"

"But that person was indeed poisoned to death." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Not only was he poisoned to death, but Shangguan Feiyan of the Jinpeng Dynasty was also poisoned to death!"

Chu Liuxiang already had an ominous premonition.

"Do you know what poisoned them to death?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"I don't know." Chu Liuxiang forced a smile, "There are so many poisons in the world, it can't be Tianyi Shenshui, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at him approvingly.

Chu Liuxiang couldn't laugh anymore.

Not only could he not laugh, but he wanted to plunge into the lake to wash his brain.

"It seems that the only ones in this world who can steal Tianyi Shenshui are me and Sikong Zaixing."

"Yes."

"Sikong Zhaixing happened to be in Beizhen Fusi during that time, so he definitely couldn't have done this."

"Of course not him."

"Even if it's Sikong Zhaixing, Jellyfish Yinji knows that he is your friend, so she won't pursue this matter."

The more Chu Liuxiang thought about it, the more distressed she became, "I just solved a scapegoat, and there is another scapegoat to be pinned on me. Could it be that I was a cook in my previous life?"

"Not necessarily." Lu Xiaofeng comforted him solemnly, "You don't have to be a cook, maybe you're a cook!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help laughing.

Chu Liuxiang also smiled, not the kind of annoyed and painful smile, but a relaxed and happy smile. No matter what, it is of course something to be happy to see acquaintances in this desperate desert.

"This is the oasis of King Qiuci." Chu Liuxiang said, "His daughter's wedding is being held here."

"Looks like I caught up with a happy day." Lu Xiaofeng took off the servant's clothes, and turned into that flamboyant Lu Daxia again, "In this kind of battle, either the princess is getting married, or the prince is getting married. "

"En." Chu Liuxiang nodded, "The King of Kucha seems to be in a hurry to use people from the world, and he doesn't hesitate to use his own daughter as an introduction to keep us."

"Keep who?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Could it be that you want to marry the princess?"

"Of course not." Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "It's Hu Tiehua."

"That Hu Tiehua who is also known as Huadie?" Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard, "I remember you and him are very good friends."

"That's right." Chu Liuxiang said, "This time I am not only coming to the desert with him, but also Ji Bingyan."

"They are willing to come to the desert with you, which means that they must regard you as a good friend, and they are willing to risk their lives for you."

"Correct."

"Hu Tiehua must never have imagined that he would have an extra wife if he went with his friend." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "Isn't this a good deal?"

"It's really a good deal, but it's not that simple."

Chu Liuxiang led Lu Xiaofeng to the three big tents in the center of the oasis.

There were originally only three tents here, but because the princess was going to have a wedding, a small one was temporarily set up next to it.Because Chu Liuxiang and his friends were to be entertained, there was another smaller tent next to the small tent.

Although it is a small tent smaller than a small tent, it is as big as an ordinary house, but it is not worth mentioning compared to the big tent.

Many people gathered in the open space of the tent. The men in the desert are bold and the girls are not bad. They drink to the top of their spirits. They have long been regardless of age, gender, and danced hand in hand. There was laughter everywhere. , and the desert outside are like two worlds.

A few men wearing only trousers brought in a large iron rack, on which stood a deliciously roasted camel. It is brushed with sauce.

Everyone was laughing, everyone was singing, even King Qiuci was no exception, so no one noticed Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng approaching.

"This must be the food they use to entertain distinguished guests." Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help taking a few glances. Anyone who came out of the desert would be attracted by such roasted camels.

Lu Xiaofeng had been eating dry and hard pancakes for several days in a row in order to rush on his way. Now seeing such barbecued meat, his saliva almost flowed to the ground.

"I heard that such a camel will have a horse, and the horse will have a sheep, and the sheep will have a goose, and the goose will have a chicken, and the chicken will put a duck egg."

"That's right." Chu Liuxiang smiled, "I'm quite confident about this, because I couldn't resist going to their kitchen this afternoon!"

"You must want to eat that duck egg!" Lu Xiaofeng said.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because I just want to eat."

A few more steps before going out of the woods, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang stopped at the same time.

"I just want to find something." Chu Liuxiang said.

"What?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Are you here to find what Shi Guanyin wants?"

"how do you know?"

"If you really just broke the water bags, why bother to visit the King of Kucha? Wouldn't it be easier to leave immediately after fetching water from the lake?" Lu Xiaofeng looked intently at the King of Kucha sitting on a high place, "Hu Tiehua You can marry the princess already, you must have stayed for a while."

"That's right." Chu Liuxiang sighed, "As expected of Lu Xiaofeng."

"Actually, I'm not usually so smart." Lu Xiaofeng didn't blush at all when he said this, "It's just that I've met a lot of princesses and kings recently, and I seem to be quite familiar with such things. experience."

"Since you have experience, come and listen to what I have encountered in the past few days." Chu Liuxiang smiled, "We always have to deal with Shi Guanyin."

"I want to ask a question first."

"please say."

"Why did Shi Guanyin kidnap your three confidante?"

"I don't know." Chu Liuxiang shook his head, "Maybe it's because of Tianyi Shenshui."

"Do you think that Tianyi Shenshui was taken by Shi Guanyin?"

"I still don't know." Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Maybe she was just afraid of the jellyfish Yin Ji, so she wanted me to take the blame, but she was also afraid that I would find out the truth and tell Shenshui Palace, so she wanted me to die in the desert."

"Could it be because of the Beggar Gang?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, "Maybe Wuhua and Nangong Ling are related to her. These two things are too close, and they are both related to Tianyi Shenshui. one thing!"

Chu Liuxiang pondered for a moment, "You are right."

"I got a message from Master Tianfeng of Shaolin." Chu Liuxiang continued, "Wuhua and Nangongling are actually brothers, and their father is Tianfeng Shishilang from Dongying."

"I have heard the news from Shen Baizhong."

"Yes." Chu Liuxiang nodded, "Their mother is called Li Qi, a daughter of the Huangshan family in the past. After traveling east, she learned the skills of a ninja and killed all the successors of the Huashan Seven Swords to avenge the family."

"Do you think……"

"I think Li Qi is Shi Guanyin!" Chu Liuxiang said.

"Do you have evidence?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"I haven't." Chu Liuxiang said, "But I have a few very vague clues."

"Very good." Lu Xiaofeng said, "Having clues is a good thing. We can't prevent random guesses. If we guess wrong, we won't lose meat. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Chu Liuxiang smiled, although his two friends were very nice, but when it came to investigating cases, Lu Xiaofeng and him were more in tune.

"You might as well talk about your business now." Lu Xiaofeng said, "I can't wait any longer."

"You can't wait to find out?"

"I can't wait to see the King of Qiuci!" Lu Xiaofeng said, "Maybe he will treat me as a guest, maybe even invite me to eat his roasted camel! Now I can't wait to chase and eat a live camel .”

Chu Liuxiang laughed out loud, "Then listen carefully."

"Speak quickly."

"We met the bodyguard team of the Peng family in the desert. The bodyguard team of the Peng family's five tigers has always been very trustworthy in the Jianghu. Crazy, desperately hacking at the air."

"It sounds like a hallucinogenic poison." Lu Xiaofeng said, "I know of thirteen kinds, each of which can achieve the effect you mentioned."

"We had been without water for a few days, and we didn't have the heart to find out the poison in them." Chu Liuxiang said, "They kept a box of red goods."

"What is it?"

"The Star of Bliss." Chu Liuxiang said lightly, "This is what Shi Guanyin wants, and this is what King Kucha wants."

"The Star of Bliss seems to be the name of the gem."

"That's right." Chu Liuxiang nodded, "There is nothing special about a gem, but it is said in the desert that this gem points to a place where the wealth accumulated by generations of the Kucha Kingdom is buried. Use this wealth to restore the country."

"Rejuvenation?" Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened, "This King of Kucha also..."

"Otherwise why would he come to the oasis?"

Lu Xiaofeng leaned against the tree behind him and did not move, "Do you know what I want to do now?"

"Aren't you going to chase after the camel?"

"I don't want to." Lu Xiaofeng closed his eyes, "I just want to sleep now, and then immediately go back to the Central Plains. Once I get back to the Central Plains, I will find a temple to worship! If the temple The abbot master agrees, so I might as well just get ordained and become a monk.”

"Because you've been running into troubled kings lately?"

"Isn't that strange enough?"

Chu Liuxiang also leaned against the tree, "I should also go to worship, you must call me, I live in the sea all year round, and I am not very familiar with the temples in the Central Plains."

"Because you always meet people who are poisoned to death by Tianyi Shenshui?"

"Isn't that strange enough?"

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

This is so weird.

Even Shen Baizhong started to get angry.

He has been walking according to the map for several days, but he still saw nothing, no water, no grass, no flowers, no trees, and most importantly, no Lu Xiaofeng.

Perhaps it was because he had been the commander of Jinyiwei for a long time, Shen Baizhong always had an extraordinary sense of responsibility for his friends and subordinates, just like this time.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, the surviving princes and ministers who stood in the wrong line sent countless killers over. Shen Baizhong stood guard at the gate of the South Study Room alone with a knife in his hand. It took only one night, and the blood needed a full eight Palace people wash.

Seeing the blood flowing down the white jade steps, the palace servants who were changing shifts even fainted several times from fright.

The news that Gong Jiu was going to rebel was very important to Shen Baizhong, but he didn't take it seriously. He believed in the emperor who was far away in the Forbidden City, and he also believed in himself.

So when he came to the desert this time, the first thing Shen Baizhong wanted to solve was Shi Guanyin.

He wanted to avenge Sun Xuepu.

Helping Chu Liuxiang recover her confidante came second.

Because Shen Baizhong and Chu Liuxiang are not familiar yet, they can be regarded as half of friends, but Sun Xuepu has become a member of Jinyiwei.

How can Jin Yiwei be bullied by others?

What if Lu Xiaofeng meets Shi Guanyin?

When a person is in a hurry, he can't help but get angry.

Shen Baizhong led the camel and walked on the cold sand at night, his expression was still calm and cold, but if you were familiar with him, you could find that he was already holding the handle of the Xiuchun knife firmly.

The stars twinkled in the sky, the night wind blew under the black clothes, and the sand made a slight friction sound under his feet.

Shen Baizhong seemed to be dizzy with anger, if he was walking on the sand in normal times, he wouldn't move at all.

Elder Shen began to teach him exercises when Shen Baizhong was only five years old, and when Shen Baizhong was ten years old, he could walk freely on the glazed tiles of the Hall of Supreme Harmony without making a sound.

He would never leave Lu Xiaofeng.

As long as they find Shi Guanyin along the oasis, and then kill Shi Guanyin, they can go home. Lu Xiaofeng also said that he will go to the capital to live with his friend Li Yanbei for a few days. They can go together when he is in the capital. Watch a few plays.

It's just that in the sandstorm that day, dozens of hidden weapons were fired in corners that no one could have imagined. In such a big sandstorm, there would be no hidden weapons that could fly in a straight line.

But after those hidden weapons were blown by the strong wind, they changed their trajectory accordingly, drawing a semicircle to fly towards Shen Baizhong, and when he avoided these hidden weapons, he encountered another batch...

At dawn, not to mention Lu Xiaofeng, even Shen Baizhong was almost lost.

It's best that Shi Guanyin didn't do this, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to know the consequences.

Shen Bai finally raised his head to look at the stars in the sky.

No matter where you are, there is always a star or two that can point your way.

When he lowered his head, he suddenly saw a white shadow appearing on the horizon in the distance.

Shen Baizhong could hardly believe his eyes, he just let the horse come to him without moving.

There was still the familiar bright yellow ribbon on the horse's tail, and of course the burden on the horse's back was gone, but no one could deny that this was the imperial horse he had pulled out from the Forbidden City back then.

The horse circled Shen Baizhong a few times, then rubbed against his sleeve.

This is undoubtedly a good horse, and it knows how to recognize its owner.

But how could it be in the desert?
