Speaking of which, since the incident with Shi Xiuyun last time, Jun Shuya and Hua Manlou have become friends—barely know each other.Such a small amount of friendship is naturally not enough to let the rich man run around with his little girl.However, Huamanlou is a gentle person who is not good at rejecting others, and Xiaotao is very good at hitting snakes with sticks.It's obvious that the little girl is relying on flowers all over the building.But Jun Shuya never showed up, Hua Manlou couldn't even send this girl home.In desperation, he then allowed Xiaotao to follow him.

There is an extra little girl beside Huamanlou, and this little girl's companion has "played" with Ximen Chuuxue.This mysterious origin made Lu Xiaofeng very curious about Xiaotao.Lu Xiaofeng is a friend of Huamanlou.Huamanlou is not good at rejecting strangers, let alone friends.He couldn't stop Lu Xiaofeng from watching Xiaotao, he could only watch him, don't make too much noise.

Xiaotao is a lively girl who likes to listen to stories.Hua Manlou is a person worthy of respect, but not a person with many stories.Fortunately, this gentle and jade-like playboy has a friend named Lu Xiaofeng, who is probably the most troublesome person in the entire world.And trouble, when it is not solved, is trouble, after it is solved, it is just a story.

In order to calm the fussy little Tao, Hua Manlou kindly told her about Lu Xiaofeng's experience as a story.

"So, Lu Xiaofeng really went to dig earthworms?" Xiao Tao exclaimed.

"Indeed." Hua Manlou said.

"Going to someone else's house to be a guest with a stinky body? That bitter melon master belongs to the papaya master, so he must be very angry." Xiao Tao's smile showed an obvious sense of superiority—she had never done such a disrespectful thing.

"He's not angry." Hua Manlou said.

"Why?" Xiaotao asked.

"Because they're friends."

"Aren't you angry if you're a friend?" Xiaotao shook her head, and said firmly, "It must be because people are too embarrassed to say it. In fact, he has already remembered it in his heart."

"Lu Xiaofeng's friends are not so stingy." Hua Manlou said helplessly.

"Like Huo Xiu?" Xiaotao said.

"..." Hua Manlou was speechless.

Xiaotao smiled smugly.She said: "So, anyone will be angry. Of course Lu Xiaofeng's friends will be angry with him." After finishing speaking, she poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip pretending to be a villain. .

They are in the Nanwang Mansion, under the leadership of the newly appointed chief executive, Jin Jiuling, they surveyed the scene of the crime, and they are waiting for Lu Xiaofeng to step on it.After watching the scene, Jin Jiuling said that he would introduce someone to them.That person was very famous, and he didn't show up for a long time.Relying on the fact that she is a girl, Xiaotao unreasonably presses who Jin Jiuling is.Unexpectedly, the latter looked very friendly, but his mouth was very strict.Xiaotao presses on every step, but he stands still.In the end, Hua Manlou saw the girl making too much noise, and took the initiative to divert the topic.His topic, of course, was Lu Xiaofeng who was about to appear on stage.

Girls need to be coaxed. When a cute girl looks like she is waiting for someone to praise her, how can a man be indifferent?

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Miss Xiaotao is right."

"It's good that you know." Xiaotao said proudly, and then, she seemed to feel that this was not good, and said, "I'm sorry."

Huamanlou and Jin Jiuling laughed.

"The clever little Tao could guess how the embroidered thief got into the treasure house?" Jin Jiuling asked.

"Isn't that simple?" Xiaotao said in a natural tone, "If you can't get in from above, if you can't get in from the ground, then you got in from the ground!"

"How do you get into the underground?" Hua Manlou said.There seemed to be a flash of inspiration in my mind, but it was always close and I couldn't catch it.

"Dig a tunnel. I heard that the houses of princes and nobles have secret passages for escape. Maybe the embroidered robber didn't even need to dig a tunnel, but went in." Xiaotao said.

Jin Jiuling was taken aback for a moment, then clapped his hands and said, "That's a great idea!"

"Is there really a tunnel under the treasure house?" Hua Manlou said.

Jin Jiuling shook his head and said, "There is no authentic tunnel, but there is a wine cellar."

"Wine cellar?" Hua Manlou's voice raised slightly, obviously thinking of something.

"Although the wine cellar is defensive, it also needs a key to enter." Jin Jiuling said.

"What's so difficult about just a key? If you want it, you can always get it." Xiaotao said.

"Yes, it's just a key." Jin Jiuling said with a smile.The key to the palace is not so easy to get, even the key to the wine cellar.However, there is no need to say these words to the little girl.

At this moment, a guard came over and whispered something to Jin Jiuling.The people present are all people with sharp eyes and ears, how could they not hear what the guard said?Since Jin Jiuling didn't avoid it, it means that these words were known to them unswervingly.However, the guard didn't say it openly after all, and Hua Manlou and Xiao Tao also pretended not to hear anything understandingly.

A moment later, Jin Jiuling waved his hand and ordered the guard to step back.He smiled and said to Huamanlou and Xiaotao, "That amazing person is here."

As soon as Jin Jiuling finished speaking, he saw a person walking over.The man had a white face and a slight beard, and was wearing a snow-white robe. His eyes were like two cold stars in the darkness.This is not the most eye-catching thing, the most special thing about that man is the sword aura around him.Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling tensed up unconsciously, even though they knew that this person had no ill intentions towards them.Xiao Tao stared at the man with excitement in her eyes.

Probably Jin Jiuling was the first to come back to his senses because he had experienced the devastation of this kind of momentum before.He made an introduction for both parties. It turned out that the person in front of him was Ye Gucheng, the famous Lord of Baiyun City.

Xiaotao was bored listening to Jin Jiuling explaining their purpose of coming here to Ye Gucheng, hearing that Ye Gucheng became interested in Lu Xiaofeng's two fingers, and listening to Gu Zuoyou, who was full of flowers, talking about him——Ye Gucheng's sword is to kill people The sword, Lu Xiaofeng is his friend.

Xiaotao was impatient with this, and suddenly said, "You are that very powerful Ye Gucheng? Let's fight, shall we?"

Jin Jiuling: "..." A cute girl wanted to challenge Ye Gucheng, and he was stunned by such a mysterious development.

Hua Manlou was also extremely shocked. He knew that Ye Gucheng's sword, like Ximen Chuuxue's, was a murderous sword.In his heart, Xiaotao is a simple girl who needs protection.How could he let her go to die.

After hearing this, Ye Gucheng glanced at Xiaotao with great interest, and said, "You are Xiaotao, Tao Xiaotao?"

After all, Jin Jiuling had experienced a lot of wind and waves. After a brief shock, he came back to his senses and was about to say something to cover it up, but he didn't expect that Ye Gucheng knew the girl's surname was "Tao".His introduction just now, and the name after that, he himself doesn't know the girl's last name.

Huamanlou also had the same idea.He said, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know him, and I haven't seen him before." Xiaotao answered very simply.

Ye Gucheng didn't speak.A person like him should disdain to lie about this kind of thing.He didn't speak, which meant that what Xiaotao said was the truth.

After hearing this, Jin Jiuling's puzzled eyes wandered between Ye Gucheng and Xiaotao.Ye Gucheng is the top swordsman, but he is not a fairy.Even a god can't tell the name of a person he has never seen before.Of course, there are some people who can recognize him with just one glance, such as Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, without ever meeting him.However, a somewhat vulgar girl like Xiaotao... Could it be that this girl is actually some kind of big shot?

Hua Manlou breathed a sigh of relief.Although I don't know what's going on, the two seem to have friendship.Then, there should be no sad incident of blood spattering on the spot.

Xiaotao's patience is not good, she urged: "Hey, Ye Gucheng, do you want to fight?"

Ye Gucheng shook his head slightly and said, "I don't want to kill you."

"Why can't you fight if you don't want to kill me?" Xiaotao asked.

"Because City Lord Ye's sword is a murderous sword." Hua Manlou explained.

"What kind of sword is not a sword for killing people? Not just swords, but weapons are used to kill people. The sword is in your hand. If you don't want to kill people, then no one will die." Xiaotao said.

Huamanlou realized that Xiaotao didn't seem to be able to accept the kind of condescending way they were used to.So, he patiently explained: "The swordsmanship of Ye Chengzhu is the swordsmanship of killing people. Even if he didn't intend to kill people, he can't control it when he uses it." After finishing speaking, he apologized to Ye Gucheng. smile.He knew that Ye Gucheng would not mind.That is the truth.However, after all, he commented on the good and bad of others.

"Oh~" Xiaotao put her hands behind her back suddenly, and said solemnly, "If you can send but not retract, and you can't control the weapon in your hand, no matter how high your martial arts are, you will fall to the bottom." a feeling of.

Hua Manlou suddenly felt very headache, this girl Xiaotao is really a worrying girl, and she is worthy of being the companion of Li Wanniang who dared to provoke Ximen Chuuxue.Jin Jiuling was in a difficult situation.He could already imagine the scene where Ye Gucheng drew his sword in anger, and he, the introducer of both parties, and the new chief executive of Nanwangfu had the obligation to make this dispute invisible.

Ye Gucheng was not as angry as Huamanlou and Jin Jiuling expected."Someone said that to me once," he said.

"I also heard from others." Xiao Tao tilted her head and became that naughty girl again.

"Is she okay?" Ye Gucheng said.

"She should be good, but recently someone robbed her, so she is not good at all." Xiao Tao suddenly said aggrieved.

"She is not a stingy person." Ye Gucheng said.

"Everyone has something to care about." Xiao Tao defended.

Ye Gucheng said: "She is not someone who likes to complain, let alone complain to a child."

Xiaotao snorted and said, "Wait for your Lu Xiaofeng to go." She knew that this Ye Gucheng would not fight her, because a long-established swordsman would not compete with children.

Everyone: "..." What is Lu Xiaofeng waiting for him?Hua Manlou confirmed once again that she deserves to be Li Wanniang's good sister.

It was Lu Xiaofeng who attracted Ye Gucheng today.When it came to the opponent he was looking for, he became that lonely and peerless swordsman again, and the conversation just now seemed to have never existed.

Not long after, Lu Xiaofeng came to Nanwang Mansion to step on the ground, narrowly caught Ye Gucheng's sword with sword energy but not killing intent, and became the friend of Baiyun City Lord with shamelessness.After that, Jin Jiuling told Lu Xiaofeng about Xiaotao's method, and the latter felt that the fright he received that night was really wronged.Later, when he found out that he had lost his confidante Xue Bing, all he had left was worry and regret.

What happened to Lu Xiaofeng had nothing to do with Xiaotao.Lu Xiaofeng took a step ahead, while Huamanlou and Xiaotao who stayed in Nanwang's mansion had a face-to-face meeting with Nanwang's son who was said to be Ye Gucheng's disciple.Xiao Tao let out a soft "Huh", which attracted the attention of the people around her.

"Is there any problem with this girl?" asked the Nan Wang Shizi who looked very kind.This man acted like a respectable corporal, but his eyes were indifferent. Xiao Tao didn't like him at all, and that dislike was more than that given to Mr. Yuchen.

"You look pretty, can't you?" Xiaotao said with a savage look. "Pretty" is used to describe women, how can it be used on men?After all, Xiao Tao is someone close to Jun Shuya. Although she is impulsive, she also knows that there are some things that cannot be said.However, this did not prevent her from satirizing this supposedly noble son of the Southern Prince as a sissy.Speaking of Nan Wang Shizi, it seems that even so-and-so is being sarcastic. It feels so good.

How could the Prince of Nan, who is a corporal who is a virtuous corporal and has always admired the heroes of the world, care about a little girl who speaks out loud?He said, "Thank you for your compliment, girl."

Xiaotao followed Huamanlou and left Nanwang Mansion.Seeing the frown of this dude, Xiaotao knew that he was worried about Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng's confidante.It's not that Xiaotao can't help with this matter.Jun Shuya didn't hide many things from her, such as their staff in Beijing.Xiaotao knew how to call those people.Those local snakes are the best at finding people.However, is it worth exposing their staff here for a stranger?Xiaotao doesn't know what "gains and losses" are, she only knows that she can't cause trouble for her sister Jiajun.She has a good sense of Huamanlou, if she can help, she is more than happy to help, but it is only limited to herself.She is not good at finding people, and that woman named Xue Bing doesn't know whether she is round or flat, so how can she help?Don't promise what you can't do - this is what sister Jun taught her, and Xiaotao thinks it makes sense.

Xiaotao felt guilty for not being able to help, so she kept silent.Hua Manlou had something on her mind, so she didn't notice the uncharacteristic silence of this supposedly lively girl.

The girl named Xue Bing has hands and feet, martial arts and temper. There is no clear evidence to prove that something happened to her. Maybe it was a young couple playing tricks and walking away.Hua Manlou felt that something was wrong, so she let go of her worries for a while.He finally noticed Xiaotao's silence.

"What is Xiaotao thinking?" Hua Manlou asked.

"I'm wondering who is the embroidery thief." Xiaotao said.

"What did you think of it? Are you going to catch the thief?" Hua Manlou asked.Just now, Xiaotao's behavior of inviting Ye Gucheng to fight gave her a new understanding of this girl's trouble-making ability.

"I don't want to. If you think about it, go ask Sister Jun if I'm right." Xiaotao said.

Knowing Xiaotao's blind admiration for her sister Jun, Hua Manlou said amusedly, "Does your sister Jun even know who the embroidery thief is?"

Xiaotao thought for a while and said, "Actually, many people know who the Embroidered Thief is, but they just don't want to say it."

Hua Manlou's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "A lot of people know? Why don't they tell? Could it be that there are actually many people in the Embroidery Bandit?" Well, what he thought of was a gang.

"How do I know that?" Xiaotao said.

"What does Xiaotao know?" Hua Manlou asked in a hurry.

"I know 'thief shouts, stop thief', but unfortunately, there are too many people who shout like that, and I don't know which one it is." Xiaotao said with an annoyed look.

Hua Manlou shook his head and said, "For money, have you made yourself blind? Besides, so many people have seen the embroidered beard..."

"Shouldn't it be the official who catches the thief? When will it be the victim's turn to do it himself?" Xiao Tao asked doubtfully.

Huamanlou understood what Xiaotao meant.He froze.Officialdom, that is a more dangerous place than the rivers and lakes.He also understood why many people who knew about the Embroidered Thief remained silent.After a long time, Huamanlou sighed.He began to worry about Lu Xiaofeng.

Xiaotao has no idea that Huamanlou has already made up his mind about political struggle.She just wanted to know who the Embroidered Thief was.Huamanlou is very smart, with his own hints, he will be able to find the answer quickly.
