[comprehensive] superior skills

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River is actually not cold, at least for the emperor who is used to the snowy weather in the north.

But the dedicated old eunuch still placed a brazier burning high-grade silver bone charcoal in the hall to keep the cold and humid air out for the master.

Now in this warm spring-like hall, Hua Manlou suddenly felt that it was not just the small brazier that could keep out the severe cold.

He still remembers the ice floes he saw in the lotus pond when he was a child. The shallow layer of thin ice seemed to be broken at the touch of a finger, but this layer of cold frost, which was more fragile than paper, stuck firmly to the surface of the water. The beautiful koi under his body blocked the wind and snow.

Hua Manlou's heart was definitely not made by ice and snow, but at this moment, she really felt the beauty of being pecked lightly with a fish's kiss.

Just like a dragonfly that touches water will leave traces, if the unspoken emotion in the past was just a vague thought to him, it is only up to today.

Under Gong Jiu's malicious gaze, Hua Manlou suddenly held the hand of the woman next to her, as if holding a unique treasure, "I will not betray my friend for anyone, nor will I betray my woman for anyone .”

"Your woman?"

Gong Jiu stood up, "I have been in and out of Longxiao Palace for more than ten years, but I have never heard that there is a male master there!"

"That's not the only thing you didn't find out clearly."

Song Cihui held the man's warm and slender fingers, "You didn't even see me clearly."

Although Hua Manlou's confession was somewhat unexpected, it was not annoying. Who told him that he was a person full of love.

If given a choice, everyone would hope that their significant other would be someone who loves life and is as warm as the sun, and the same is true for Song Ci.

"Yeah, I really never really got to know you."

Gong Jiu approached step by step, "I thought we were the most suitable couple. I still remember the expression on your face when you picked up the whip for the first time, and the feeling of the whip hitting me!"

He jerked open the clothes on his chest, revealing an inch-long scar, "If a person's martial arts has been practiced to the extreme, it will be difficult for any weapon to harm his body, but I have this scar. You You should know that it is not easy to leave such a scar, so every time when it is about to heal, I will draw a knife in the same way. Because this is what you left on me. the first scar!"

Gong Jiu puffed up her chest as if showing off, "What about you, what did she do to you?"

Hua Manlou sighed softly, with a hint of pity in her tone, "She gave me a pair of eyes that can see things, and I saw her with these eyes, isn't that enough?"

He finally understood why the two people in front of him hadn't even had the possibility to go a little further for more than ten years, because no one could bear a sick lunatic.

If such a person sits on the world and holds supreme power, what a terrible thing it would be.

Gong Jiu's eyes immediately shot out a beast-like cold light, and said sternly: "Then I will blind these eyes, so that you can never see her again!"

"Gong Nine!"

Song Ci pulled out the python whip and flicked it loudly, "Don't you understand, you only like the person holding the whip, no matter who the other party is, you will fall in love with her!"

Gong Jiu's face twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth against the desire to roll on the ground and said: "But I only want to leave scars for you!"

He used the remaining willpower to restrain himself from showing his ugliness in front of his love rival, and swept out the open window, "My father said beforehand, if the palace master misses the old love, come to Wuming Island in the East China Sea to see him!"

Gong Jiu's voice hadn't finished yet, but his people had already disappeared in the small courtyard.

Hua Manlou coughed lightly, and turned his tightly clenched right hand away as if nothing had happened, "Where is the nameless island in the East China Sea?"

Song Ci looked at him with crooked eyebrows, "It's an isolated island on the sea that is even farther away than Longxiao Palace, far away from Middle Earth, and close to the Kingdom of Wa. It was on that small island that I met Gong Jiu and his son for the first time. , In the following years, I witnessed with my own eyes that they built it into a paradise comparable to a palace."

"Wo country?"

Thinking of the Japanese pirates rampant in the sea, Hua Manlou worried: "Do they have plans to collude with the Japanese?"

"As a father there is a son."

Song Ci said: "There are only two kinds of people in this world for their father and son."

"Which two kinds?" Hua Manlou asked.

"One is the people they use, that is, their friends."

Song Ci went on to say: "The other kind is a stumbling block of stubbornness."

Perhaps Wu Ming saw that the so-called owner of Longxiao Palace was just a courageous bandit who was content with the status quo and violently mobilizing things, so he wanted to replace him.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I think they must have a lot of friends, too many to fit on a small island."

"That was in the past. I'm afraid that the lively island is not as simple as just friends."

Song Ciyan said: "Do you think Lu Xiaofeng is someone who can be easily bribed?"

Hua Manlou answered quickly, "If he can be bribed, it's definitely not Lu Xiaofeng."

"I guess his friends are like that too."

Song Ci smiled slightly, "So we'd better rush to see those smelly and hard stones as soon as possible, lest they really be taken to fill the latrine."

After sending the old eunuch to Peach Blossom Castle and leaving Hua Ruling with self-defense poison\medicine, Song Ci took Hua Manlou to a hidden beach and summoned Noah, who hadn't shown up for a long time.

Hua Manlou, who had already seen Longxiao Palace, did not express any admiration for the big ship in front of her, even though the ship traveled thousands of miles across the sea in just a short while.

What really interested him were the cannons that easily blasted away the pirate ships, "If the Qi family army can match with such amazing equipment, why worry about the waves!"

Song Ci stared at the small black dot that appeared far away in the sky, "If I can bring the emperor back safely in the future, I will definitely kill him severely, and then General Qi's artillery and warships will not have to worry about it."

It's better to find another place to secretly go hungry for a few days, so that he won't go crazy when he's full and has nothing to do.

Hua Manlou smiled and looked at the disgruntled favorite, "You don't like the emperor?"

Song Ci glared at him, "Who would like an emperor who makes trouble for others all day long? I think he has had too many good days, and I don't even think about how many people in this world are born to be the best of the sky?"

If even the emperor feels that life is hopeless, how many people can really survive that day?No wonder everyone wanted to rebel.

Hua Manlou nodded and said: "From this point of view, the proud son of heaven should have stayed where he should appear most. Otherwise, when he falls into the dust, it will be too late to regret it."

No one knows whether a repentant emperor is about to usher in Wuming Island, but Lu Xiaofeng, who is also trapped underground at the moment, knows that the person behind the bunker must be planning a huge conspiracy.

Lu Xiaofeng, who was covered in filth, sat beside the thick stone wall, and took a handful of water from the spout that was as thick as a finger.

This handful of sweet mountain spring is one of his dinners, and at his feet, there is also a stack of beef biscuits wrapped in oiled paper.

Fifteen delicious beef biscuits sprinkled with fragrant black and white sesame seeds also slid down from the two-finger wide metal mouth, and the three meals a day never stopped.

Lu Xiaofeng alone couldn't finish these biscuits, but luckily he still has four fellow sufferers.

In the ring-shaped dungeon, Lu Xiaofeng occupied half of the site by himself, and four identical stone prisons were separated from the rest of the site.

From left to right, the four names of madman, fool, hungry thief, and ugly are written on the door.

What Lu Xiaofeng had to do was to distribute the white sesame seed cakes to the lunatics according to the instructions on the oil paper, and the remaining black sesame seed cakes were the life-saving meal for him and the other three.

There is a narrow gap under the stone door, and it will be possible to push the biscuits and oiled paper bags filled with water.

When he was first locked in the dungeon, he tried to use oiled paper to communicate with four other people, but no matter what he wrote, the people inside were silent.

Lu Xiaofeng also tried to secretly save white sesame seed cakes, but this risky approach made him witness a horrible scene of evil spirits howling in his sleep.

A small white sesame biscuit not only makes the madman more crazy, but also makes the fool more stupid.

He still can't forget the muffled sound of the fool kowtowing desperately inside the stone wall when the madman fell ill, and the dirty blood mixed in the muddy water.

From then on, Lu Xiaofeng never dared to disobey any requirements on the oil paper, and worked hard every day like a dedicated cell boss to deliver water and food to the silent four.

He almost turned into a caged wolf, and he could only circle back and forth anxiously in the cage.

In order not to be driven mad by this suffocating environment, Lu Xiaofeng began to constantly recall the people and things he had encountered since wandering around the rivers and lakes.

He thinks from enemies to friends, from confidante to beggars on the roadside, and even clearly remembers the knot that changed his fate at the age of 17.

But he just couldn't remember how he came to the dungeon, he obviously just drank a glass of wine with his friend.

Lu Xiaofeng stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at the word "fool" written on the cell door.

Lu Xiaofeng has quite a few friends, but they can be counted as life and death acquaintances.

And in this palm, the only one who can let each other go at any time without any words is the one who pours wine for him with his own hands.

Lu Xiaofeng walked over slowly, and called out a name in an uncertain tone, "Zhu Ting?"

His voice became louder and louder, but the answer was always only the echo of the stone wall.

It wasn't until Lu Xiaofeng, with a hoarse throat, left with his head down, that there was a suppressed cry from the stone prison, but it was the lunatic next door.

The cries of the lunatic seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, intermittently and intermittently, it sounded not only sad but also ridiculous.

But it was such a ridiculous cry that made Lu Xiaofeng close his eyes, because he already knew the answer from this distorted voice.

"Clang clang..."

After the chain was turned, a young woman in tight clothes came out from the back of the closed stone door. She had a bright and beautiful face and a good figure with bumps.

The sudden appearance of a bright and beautiful woman in a dark and boring dungeon will naturally make people unable to help but take a few more glances, but compared to these, what Lu Xiaofeng pays the most attention to is the food plate she is holding in her hand, because it contains familiar food. beef biscuits.

"Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows? The most intelligent person in Jianghu?"

The woman looked the man with the scruffy beard up and down, "I don't think you are as good as they say."

Lu Xiaofeng touched the stubble that hadn't been trimmed for a long time, "If the girl is locked up in a place where the sun is out for ten days and half a month like this one, I'm afraid she won't be as beautiful as she is today."

"Grumpy!"

The woman walked over as comfortably as if she was walking in the garden, "I once made a bet to see how long it would take for Lu Xiaofeng, who thinks he is smart, to recognize the person in the stone prison."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't feel like going to jail at all, and asked with a smile as if an old friend had reunited: "It seems that the girl has won?"

"But I'm not happy about winning."

The woman sneered and said, "For a valuable person, even if he makes me lose face, I will bear with him."

Lu Xiaofeng understood, "I failed the girl's good intentions. But I still have one thing I don't understand, I beg the girl to answer."

The woman smiled, "You want to know why they stay in prison like dumb people?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "At first I thought that someone had deliberately silenced them, but I didn't know that was the case until I heard the crying, so I was very curious."

"It's actually a very simple thing."

The woman smiled softly: "When you know a person well enough, you will naturally know how to pinch his weakness."

As she spoke, she walked over to the lunatic and kicked in a white sesame seed cake with her toes, "If a lunatic doesn't want to go crazy, he can only be dumb. If a fool doesn't want to see the lunatic suffer, he can just be dumb. As for the hungry thief, he A set of hands is worth far more than your own life, so why not shut up for a person who doesn't even care about his life."

The woman finally came to the door of the ugly monster, "There are two deadly enemies locked here. Whoever can't help but speak first will let the other person out, and the person who left will slash the other's face twice. If How would you choose?"

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help sighing: "If it were me, I would definitely choose to be a mute."

At first he only recognized the proprietress and Zhu Ting, but only now did he realize that the two remaining cells were locked up by Sikong Zhaixing and Shangguan Danfeng sisters.

Why did Zhu Ting drug his good friend, because the proprietress went crazy.

When a person loves his wife more than himself, he is not a fool in the eyes of others.

Lu Xiaofeng was supposed to be angry with Zhu Ting, but he found that he didn't care at all, because he had already heard the unspeakable apology from the proprietress' crying.

As for Sikong Zhaixing and Shangguan Danfeng sisters, they were just exploited by women who can see through people's hearts.

After much calculation, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized that what he should be wary of the most is this vicious and cunning woman in front of him.

He cupped his hands instead and asked, "Anyway, it's a guest and host, how dare you ask the girl's name?"

The woman arrogantly raised her black willow-leaf eyebrows, "Palace Master."

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback, "Palace Master?"

The Palace Master's voice changed, and he said rather dissatisfied: "Why, you still know the second Palace Master?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, "I just remembered another person with the surname of Gong, he is also a dragon and phoenix just like a girl."

The palace master's phoenix eyes showed a faint smile, "You must be talking about my brother, Gong Jiu."

"Disrespectful disrespect."

An evil face immediately appeared in Lu Xiaofeng's mind, "I don't know why the palace lord will invite me and some friends here? Could it be that he just wants to see if Lu Xiaofeng, who has four eyebrows, is a smart person?"

"It's not enough for a person to be smart."

The palace lord's eyes pierced coldly, "If a smart person doesn't do smart things, then he can only be a dead person."

The author has something to say:

Song Ci: Lu Xiaoji finally made his appearance again, bringing two little hens with him.

In addition, Gong Jiu's liking for the heroine is similar to the empathy of a mental patient, and it is definitely not the feelings of ordinary men and women. =, =
