[Lu Xiaofeng] Final Boss

Ye Gucheng hurried across the uneven roofs.

The roofs are uneven and dilapidated, and many old houses have been in disrepair for a long time. Even if a cat steps on it, it will accidentally step on a few dilapidated tiles.But Ye Gucheng walked calmly in white clothes, and the tiled roofs were flying back and forth behind him, but he was lighter and faster than the wind.

The street under the roofs was dark, damp, dirty, and still muddy from the rains of the previous two days.There are all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, but the facades are very narrow, and the people who come in and out seem to be some shady people.

This street is the most famous black street in Yangcheng.The boss of the black street, the Snake King, lives in a small dilapidated building in the dark alley of this dark street.

This dark alley was dirtier, more dilapidated, and darker than the street outside. There was even a stench from the gutter, and there were terrible flies flying everywhere.

At the end of this dirty alley, there is a narrow door.

Walking through this narrow door, there will be a very narrow staircase, and at the end of the stairs, there is another narrow door.Inside the narrow gate is the residence of the snake king.

The lights were still on in the house, and the Snake King was inside.

[People who have never really been here will never believe that this dilapidated building with dark streets and alleys is so luxuriously and gorgeously furnished: the teacup is carved from a whole piece of white jade, and the fruit plate is imported from Persia Among the paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, there are two figures of Wu Daozi, one of Han Gan's horse, and one of Wang Xizhi's original works.

Everything in this house is a valuable treasure. 】The Snake King was still wearing his thick robe, leaning on a soft couch covered with tiger skin.He is very thin, so thin that only skin and bones are left, and his whole body seems to have no muscle or fat at all, so even in the scorching heat of July, he must wear this robe and sit on the tiger skin.

His eyes swept over the gorgeous furnishings in front of him one by one. These precious things used to accompany him every day, but soon, he could no longer see them, just like one morning, he suddenly disappeared. wife and children.

Because of this, he had to deceive Lu Xiaofeng, using a map to lead him to the palace, and using Xue Bing to lead him to Xiyuan and Aunt Gongsun.After doing all this, he suddenly realized that he seemed to know too much!

And those who know too much, if they are not strong enough, usually end up dead.

He is the boss of this black street, but the forces he faces are thousands of times stronger than him!

So, he had to wait.

wait to die.

He also knew that the person who killed him would definitely come at the full moon.

So, he kept looking at the door.

When the wind blew, it shook the jewels hanging on the door, and the door curtain was suddenly lifted.

The Snake King's pupils shrank, and he was about to jump up.His skills were not bad at all.

But that person was really too fast, extremely fast, and before his body could move, he had already arrived in front of him.

A man in white.

The bead curtain on the door has not yet fallen, and the moonlight shines on his snow-white clothes and eyes like cold stars.

This person, he recognized.

Ye Gucheng.

Of course Ye Gucheng was not the one who wanted to kill him.

The Snake King straightened his back, seemingly stunned, but not surprised: "You... are here."

Ye Gucheng nodded: "I'm here."

"You... come to see me?" The Snake King's expression became very complicated, and even his voice trembled in disbelief: "Why?"

"Because you will never be able to deal with the person who wants to deal with you."

"Do you know who he is?"

Ye Gucheng said a name.He spoke lightly, because the name itself was already a huge secret.

"Gong Jiu."

Sure enough, the Snake King showed a very surprised expression, and tremblingly said: "You... know him too?"

Ye Gucheng nodded.

The Snake King regained his composure, and said, "Since this is the case, you may also know that Jin Jiuling is the embroidery thief."

"I know." Ye Gucheng paused, his star-like eyes became even brighter in the dim candlelight, "I also know that Jin Jiuling has been working for this person, and you are hidden in the black market because of his help." threaten."

There was a strange look in the snake king's eyes again. These were originally extremely secret secrets, but Ye Gucheng seemed to know them well.He always felt that he didn't understand Ye Gucheng.Perhaps, he had never known Ye Gucheng before, so he made such a stupid and risky choice back then.

However, it is impossible to do it all over again, and he will never have another chance to let his loved ones live again.

He said dejectedly: "That's right, it was Jin Jiuling's instructions to commit this series of big crimes."

And he himself was just a chosen victim in this matter.

A victim who knows too much and is worthless.

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, but his eyes were full of inquiry.

The Snake King didn't know why Ye Gucheng wanted to intervene in this matter. He never quite understood what Ye Gucheng did, but he explained: "Jin Jiuling disguised himself as an embroidered thief to commit crimes, and tried his best to lure Lu Xiaofeng to solve the case. Successfully planted the red shoes. After this case is settled, he can take the position of chief manager in the Pingnan Palace."

Ye Gucheng pondered for a while, and came to a conclusion: "He wants to put Jin Jiuling|into the palace as an eyeliner."

It is not surprising that Gong Jiu arranged eyeliner in the Pingnan Palace, just like he installed forces in Gongmen early in the morning.Gong Jiu's power already spread all over the world, but at this moment, it is too sensitive, so his eyes showed a rare prudence: "Why did he install Jin Jiuling|into the palace at this time?"

There was a look of resentment and fear in the snake king's eyes again, and he suddenly hissed: "Who knows, Gong... No one knows why he does things!" Until now, he still didn't dare to say that name directly, because that People, like the coldest venomous snake, make him chill when he thinks about them.

And it is impossible for a pawn like him that has been drawn across the river to get close to the core of the poisonous snake.

Of course Ye Gucheng understood.

He looked up at the moon, the moonlight was hidden in the clouds, and when it came out again, it was the brightest full moon.And the person who wants to kill the Snake King will come soon.

He didn't say anything else, but turned his head to the Snake King and said, "Follow me back to Baiyun City, where absolutely no one can hurt you."

His voice was still cold, but there was a rare warmth and concern for the cornered person in front of him.

Although it is not obvious, the Snake King can feel it.

The Snake King's surname is Ye, and he was originally his elder.

So in his eyes, there was that extremely complicated look again, with gratitude, shame, regret, regret, and unwillingness, but more, it was the grief and despair of the fate that could not be helped.

He suddenly sighed heavily, and his thin face showed a kind of hopeless gray: "He didn't intend to let me go, and my wife and children must have been murdered by him long ago, even if Baiyun City is willing to take me in again. , I’m still alive, and it’s meaningless.” He stared at Ye Gucheng, with the last trace of warmth for the world in his eyes, and tremblingly said: “But you say that, I... still feel very happy.”

He turned around suddenly, removed the two large candles on the wooden case, popped out a mezzanine in the table with a mechanism, took out a roll of drawings inside, and handed it to Ye Gucheng: "I know, you are a person who does great things." People, but it's a pity that I have never understood you. This blueprint is my last wish for Baiyun City."

Knowing that he had made up his mind, Ye Gucheng sighed a long time in his heart, so he had no choice but to accept it.

But I don't know what is in this scroll of drawings.

"This is the organization chart of Yangcheng Black Market and Gongmen Anzi. All the people and things that can be used are in it."

With this blueprint, Baiyun City is waiting to take over the black market and the dark forces of Gongmen in Yangcheng.

"Actually... even if you don't come, someone will send it to you after I die." However, Ye Gucheng still came and wanted to take him back to Baiyun City, so the Snake King still felt warm. "Jin Jiuling will come to kill me soon because he wants to put the blame on Aunt Gongsun, but as long as I deliberately leave some clues, Lu Xiaofeng will definitely notice."

He suddenly showed a smile, like the last ray of light from an oil lamp that is about to run out. It was faint, but it carried the hope and comfort before death: "Gong Jiu must have never imagined that I would still be able to take him into the army in the end."

Huamanlou couldn't sleep, it seemed that every time he went out with Lu Xiaofeng, he was always unable to sleep.

After drinking that night, Lu Xiaofeng went out with Jin Jiuling, and the people from the palace came back and told him that Aunt Gongsun not only robbed Xue Bing, but also killed the Snake King, so Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiuling chased to the South China Sea overnight.

Hua Manlou didn't go with them because Jin Jiuling wanted to keep a master in the palace to take care of him, and Nanwang Shizi also enthusiastically persuaded him to stay in the palace for a few more days, which made it hard for him to refuse.

But there was another reason why he couldn't sleep.When Lu Xiaofeng went to Shenzhen Villa, Mrs. Xue told him that the black peony on the red silk must have been embroidered by a woman; moreover, the red silk itself was the upper of a pair of red shoes.

The Red Shoes are a mysterious organization.

Shi Xiuxue also wore red shoes.

She still has a deep shadow in Huamanlou's heart.

Hua Manlou stood in front of the window, wanting the evening wind to wash away his thoughts.He lived next door to Ye Gucheng, but Ye Gucheng was not there. In fact, Ye Gucheng didn't live in the palace much.

He listened to the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, and the fragrance of the grass and trees permeated the night, just like standing in front of the window of the Shanxi Inn that night, he sensed another breath.

Ximen blows snow's breath.

Ximen Chuuxue has come under a phoenix tree in the courtyard.

But this time, he came to find Hua ManLou.

Ye Gucheng left, but he came to look for Huamanlou.

Because, he has something to tell Huamanlou.

After Huamanlou walked out to the yard, he said coldly: "I just saw Lu Xiaofeng and Aunt Gongsun fighting in the West Garden, and Aunt Gongsun was also wearing red shoes."

It's not that he was particularly indifferent to Hua Manlou on purpose, but his tone, which was always the case.

Of course Hua Manlou understood and didn't mind, he just asked: "Are you here to help Lu Xiaofeng?"

"I'm here to track down the red shoes."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't explain why he wanted to track down the red shoes, but Shi Xiuxue was originally Sun Xiuqing's younger sister, so there was no need to ask.Moreover, he also believed that Wanmei Villa and Ximen Chuuxue were fully capable of tracking down the red shoes.

Ximen Chuuxue was not as pure and simple as it seemed.

"The leader of the red shoes is Aunt Gongsun. Her real name is Gongsun Lan. After you left that small building, Huo Xiu's wealth and Tsing Yi Building have been taken over by the red shoes." Of course he would not tell Huamanlou Yes, Wanmei Villa originally planned to receive Jinpeng's wealth and Qingyi Building.

This result was quite shocking, but Hua Manlou believed in Ximen Chuuxue.He pondered slightly, and suddenly said: "From this point of view, Red Shoes should be a very powerful organization, or an organization with great power behind it."

Ximen Chuuxue couldn't help but glance at him, Huamanlou is Huamanlou, if it was Lu Xiaofeng, he definitely wouldn't immediately think that there might be other forces behind the red shoes.

But Ximen Chuixue didn't come here to tell him who was behind the red shoes, because even he himself didn't know.

"I don't know who is behind the red shoes, but since Huo Xiu and Tsing Yi Lou can be counted silently, they will definitely not commit crimes like the Embroidered Thief."

Hua Manlou nodded in agreement.The Embroidered Thief's method of committing crimes is so flamboyant, a person who can count Huo Xiu would certainly not do it so ostentatiously, as if he wanted to make everyone in the world know.

He acted so ostentatiously, there was only one possibility: someone deliberately led Lu Xiaofeng astray.

Hua Manlou pondered for a while, and expressed his doubts: "Indeed, Lu Xiaofeng obtained the map of the palace from the Snake King, and even found the tunnel in the wine cellar, all came too easily."

As soon as Lu Xiaofeng entered Yangcheng, he got a detailed map from the Snake King. While drinking in the palace, he found a passage leading to the treasure house from the wine cellar.There are hundreds of traps in Tsing Yi Building, how can a person who can count Huo Xiu leave such clues that are easy to be discovered?

Ximen Chuuxue said: "So, you mean that only traitors are possible?"

Hua Manlou nodded, this map is too detailed, this traitor must also have a deep understanding of the layout of the palace.The wine cellar was also found ingeniously, it was discovered when Lu Xiaofeng took the initiative to find wine, it can be seen that this person knows Lu Xiaofeng quite well.

Ximen Chuuxue didn't speak, he already knew who Hua Manlou was talking about.

Jin Jiuling.

Only he can blackmail the boss of the black market to do things for him; only he can understand the layout of the checkpoints in the palace so well; only he can understand Lu Xiaofeng so well.

Hua Manlou said: "I will inform Lu Xiaofeng as soon as possible, his luck has always been very good, and the owner of the villa doesn't need to worry too much about him."

Ximen Chuuxue's gaze has already passed Huamanlou, looking towards the next door hidden by trees in the courtyard.

His gaze suddenly became soft and hazy, just like the misty night.

"You want me to leave quickly, is it because you are afraid that I will meet Ye Gucheng?"

Hua Manlou did have this idea, but was more surprised: "You know he's here?"

Ximen Chuuxue answered very simply: "I know."

Hua Manlou hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Have you seen it?"

Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently: "I just saw it."

Hua Manlou's usually gentle and soft face couldn't help showing a strange expression, like disbelief, relief, and doubt.He was silent for a long time, but finally he only said softly: "It's so good."

It's so good, at least the thing he and Lu Xiaofeng worried about didn't happen right away.

Ximen Chuuxue turned his face, but suddenly asked: "How is he playing the piano?"

Hua Manlou was surprised again. Ximen Chuuxue seemed to know more about Baiyun City Lord than he expected, so he couldn't help guessing what kind of situation their encounter would be.

But he is a gentleman, and he never takes the initiative to inquire about other people's privacy.

So, he just said what he felt.

"I've never heard such a good piano sound, like the blue sky and white clouds, flawless and spotless."

"Blue sky and white clouds, flawless and unstained." Ximen Chuuxue lowered his head and repeated in a low voice.

When the wind picked up again, he had disappeared into the night wind.

Everything was quiet, but the phoenix tree he had just stood on was still standing there.

Huamanlou suddenly realized that Ximen Chuuxue had changed.
