Lu Xiaofeng's Jade Bi

Chapter 53 Solve in sequence

He hadn't sobered up yet, but he had already "solved" Ximen Chuuxue while he was half-drunk and half-awake.

The next person he wanted to "solve" had already come in front of him, holding a plate of porridge with fresh shrimps in his hand, and the steaming white steam covered his unfriendly expression.

"Hehe, Huamanlou, long time no see!"

"Indeed, it's been a long time. Whenever I went to look for you, you turned a deaf ear to me. You just treated me as an ordinary visitor. I ordered people to chase me out a few times, but I didn't have the face to look for you." Hua Manlou poured the porridge to Yubi With a fist in his hand, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Yubi didn't even say a word to stop him.He tilted his head angrily, but he couldn't hear Yubi's half-breathing sound, so he couldn't help but said: "If you haven't woken up from the wine, go back to your room and rest."

Yu Bi hurriedly came back to her senses, and said, "Wake up! Hua Man Lou, are you with Lu Xiaofeng?"

"how?"

"Is he with Ouyang Qing again?"

Hua Manlou said: "I came a few days after him, but I haven't seen him recently."

"Then how did you find Ximen Chuuxue?"

Hua Manlou said, "It's not that I was looking for him, but he was looking for me and asked me if I know where you are." With a straight face, he said to Yubi: "You did something wrong this time. , no matter what happened between you and Master Ximen, you shouldn’t avoid him, what can’t you say directly? This is not like your character. "

Yu Bi shrugged, hula la ate the porridge, sat down on the railing, but said: "I just explained it to him, don't worry about it." Looking up at Hua Man Lou standing there, As if he didn’t believe it, he said, “It’s nothing serious. He just asked me if I’ve recovered from my injury. I said I’m fine. He then asked me why I didn’t say goodbye to him when I left Peach Blossom Castle. I said it was urgent and I didn’t have time. In this way, I don't know what you guessed, but it's the way it is. Master Ximen and I are still the same friends as before, and there is no quarrel."

Hua ManLou took two steps forward, leaning on the red-painted porch pillar, and said, "There is no suspicion, why do you still call him Master Ximen, haven't you already called him by his first name?"

Yubi was shocked in her heart, she didn't notice this, she seemed to be a little stranger to Ximen Chuuxue, just now she kept calling him the owner of the villa, and she wondered if Ximen Chuuxue had a estrangement with him because of this.

"You must have something to hide from me." Hua Manlou said firmly.He groped and sat next to Yubi, just preparing for a long speech: "Before you begged me not to mention Ye Gucheng with the owner of Ximen Zhuang, because you were afraid that the two of them would draw their swords. At that time, your words were sincere, and I was the first See you later, let this matter be a knot in your heart. Now that the two of them have agreed to a decisive battle, but you deliberately hide from our friends, I am afraid that you have made some dangerous plans."

Yu Bi was horrified, staring blankly at Hua Man Lou, unable to speak.

Hua Manlou finally sighed: "I wish you would be as unthinking as you were when you refuted me before. However, you have been silent for a long time, but you have acquiesced."

"Flowers are all over the building." Yubi said suddenly, his voice was very heavy, but also very calm. "Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, not to mention their relationship with us, they are rare friends to each other. No matter who wins and who loses, the one left behind will be lonely for half his life. As Their friend, no, in fact, I should be counted as their admirer. I have been their admirer since a long time ago. It is not an exaggeration to say that I will never change my heart. Each suffers a miserable end."

Hua Manlou understood now, and said, "But the two of them probably have already regarded this decisive battle as their lifelong desire. People are mortal, and it is better to die by the opponent's sword than to die by something else."

"But they are not dueling now, don't you think it is not the time for them to duel now?"

Hua Manlou didn't understand what he said, "Why not?"

"Because...because..." Yubi jumped up anxiously, walking back and forth in the corridor, not daring to announce the rebellion between Ye Gucheng and Nan Wang, so she could only perfunctoryly say: "Ximen Chuuxue seems...he seems to be Something is wrong."

"what?"

"I reckon he's out of his mind and always says and does strange things to me. But anyway, it's different from before. So I'm worried that he will lose."

"But you bet on Ximen Chuuxue to win."

Yubi paused, turned sideways and said, "How do you know?"

Hua Manlou looked at Yubi coldly, Yubi sneered a few times, and in turn comforted Hua Manlou, "You bet with me this time, you must be right. Don't bet on Ye Gucheng! By the way, I Running out suddenly, Lan Jian must be in a hurry, he may not be able to find the boundary of Ximen Chuuxue. I'll take a step first!"

After all, Yubi jumped up, climbed onto the beams of the house, and walked far away on the roof tiles.Hua Manlou sat silently on the porch, frowning, feeling increasingly uneasy.

This kind of uneasiness became stronger every day, until he met Lu Xiaofeng, learned of Zhang Yingfeng's death, and Ouyang Qing's poisoning, and got a bright and colorful ribbon from Lu Xiaofeng.

"What is this for?"

Lu Xiaofeng lay down on the chair and started drinking again. After drinking a glass of wine, he said quietly: "I invite you to watch the battle on the top of the Forbidden City."

Hua Manlou clenched the ribbon tightly, forced a smile and said, "Then I must go."

"Naturally." Lu Xiaofeng looked at him sideways, but suddenly asked: "Have you seen Yubi?"

Hua Manlou smiled wryly, "It seems that many people are looking for him recently, but instead of looking for someone, you come to ask me instead."

Lu Xiaofeng sat up straight suddenly, and said solemnly: "Can you see him?"

"I see it. I see it all." Hua Manlou couldn't help sighing, "It's better not to see him. He is always a worrying guy, and you have no way to control him except worrying about this."

When Lu Xiaofeng got the answer, he lowered his eyes slowly, then raised his head suddenly, his eyes sparkled, and said: "I wanted to give him a ribbon, but it seems that I don't need it anymore."

Hua ManLou couldn't see Lu XiaoFeng's bright eyes, just held the teacup and said quietly: "It's true that he doesn't need it. He has a good relationship with the emperor, and it is said that he also has a waist card specially given by the emperor. It is much easier to get in and out of the palace than you and me. "

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, turned over and got off the chair, met Ximen Chuuxue who was holding a sword, and said, "Ouyang Qing she..."

"It's okay."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, thanked again, then turned to Hua Manlou and said, "Do you want to go to the Silkworm Altar with us?"

"Who are you looking for?"

"Yan Renying."

"He went to the Tiancan Altar to bury his senior brother?"

"Yes, as long as Ximen Chuixue sees the sword wound on Zhang Yingfeng's neck, maybe he can find out who killed Zhang Yingfeng and follow the clues."

Hua Manlou sighed and stood up. "Stay here, it's better to go with you."
