They were the latest guests. Other guests who came to celebrate the birthday had already arrived at Peach Blossom Castle a few days earlier.

Hua Manting, the sixth son of the Hua family, went out to greet the guests in person, which naturally made some passing guests look sideways.

Although Dongfang Bubai is well-known, but not many people know him. When he was not famous, he was just an inconspicuous young chivalrous man during his training in Jianghu. Let me fight openly and secretly.

After ascending to the position of leader, Dongfang Bubai immediately retreated after rectifying the educational affairs and intimidating the martial arts. The congregants of the Sun Moon God Sect who had the intention to indulge in retreat for three years spread his name widely. The young master came to Heimuya to teach Dongfang Bubai, the so-called senior who was an arrogant young man, but all of them became the fertilizer for the medicinal herbs under Heimuya.

But if you really have a heart, if you really have to count, the number of times Dongfang Bubai left Heimuya can be counted on the fingers, and those who have actually met the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect and witnessed him make a move are really rare.

Peach Blossom Fort is the main house of the Hua family. The South Garden and the North Garden are both courtyards for entertaining diners or guests. The innermost Xiyuan is where the female relatives of Huafu live, and it is also the living courtyard of the main family.And Dong Yuan is specially reserved for some distinguished guests who are not convenient to show up easily.

After receiving the news that the Eastern Hierarch and his wife came to celebrate his birthday, Hua Ruling thought twice before letting Hua Manting, who had once been to Heimuya and had friendship with the two in front of him, go to greet her. Out of proper consideration, she tried to avoid these few days Some other guests were fluctuating because of frequent incidents.

Walking to the gate of Dongyuan, Hua Manting was slightly taken aback when he saw his younger brother, Yuli, who was waiting there.

"Brother Hua, long time no see—" Kuan Ci first greeted Hua Manlou before he fell into Dongfang Bubai's arms.

Then the ferret, who was dragged out by the customer's merciful hand and insisted on rubbing in his hands, suddenly jumped towards the gentle and handsome young man.

Although Hua Manlou couldn't see things, his other senses were more sensitive than ordinary people. He took the ferret who jumped into his arms familiarly, and felt the blown body when his fingers were covered with ferret fur. Little soft hair, can't help showing a little confusion between the brows and eyes.

What happened to the mink's fur?

Gently brushing the ferret's miserable prickly hairs, Hua Manlou turned to the direction where Dongfang Bubai and Customer Ci were, and said with a loud smile, "I've seen Dongfang Bubai, Brother Gu. It is really an honor for the Hua family to take the time to come to Peach Blossom Castle to celebrate my father's birthday in person."

Dongfang Bubai didn't have a big impression of Huamanlou, and naturally he had nothing old to recount.His gaze stayed on the ferret in Huamanlou's arms for a moment, then he stood silently beside Customer Ci, looking at the peach tree with a branch sticking out in the East Garden.

Through the hollow pattern on the wall, Dongfang Bubai clearly caught the bright red cloak, snorted softly, and Dongfang Bubai raised his hand and a golden needle shot out.

There was an exclamation from the other side of the wall, followed by the sound of clothes rubbing and heavy objects falling to the ground.

Both Huamanlou and Customer Ci had knowing smiles on their faces, and Customer Ci laughed loudly and said, "Dongfang and I were a little bored staying on the Black Wood Cliff these few days, so we went down the mountain to have a look. Brother, don’t dislike us for coming to disturb us!”

Of course, Hua Manting knew who had been placed in Dongyuan before, his expression changed when he saw the scene in front of him, and he looked at Hua Manlou: "Seven children?"

Hua Manlou smiled and nodded to his sixth brother: "Sixth brother, brother Gu is my friend, so let Qitong entertain the distinguished guests."

……

When the three of them entered Dongyuan, Lu Xiaofeng was lying under the peach tree and staring at the door sadly, when he saw Dongfang Bubai and customer Ci.

Immediately, he stood up and held the golden needle in his hand and complained loudly: "You guys know how to make fun of me! If I hadn't dodged quickly, the needle would have stuck in a terrible place!"

Dongfang Bubai and the customer Cijie had a meal, they all looked at Lu Xiaofeng's Xiasanlu, Hua Manlou's expression could not help laughing.

Lu Xiaofeng saw that the couple had the same expressions of looking forward to the show, and quickly explained: "Not the front!"

Dongfang Bubai sighed regretfully, and said, "I didn't see it clearly just now, but I missed some accuracy."

Then he lifted his foot and walked in.

The customer's kind eyes rolled down Lu Xiaofeng's waist, and he said with concern: "The needle tip is not big, so it shouldn't leave any irreversible wounds, don't be afraid."

Lu Xiaofeng was choked up and couldn't get up and down, stomped his feet and let out a sigh of relief, stretched out two fingers and waved in front of Customer Ci, rolled his eyes and said: "Do you think my two fingers of Lu Xiaofeng are vegetarian?"

After all, Dongfang Bubai's injection was just to say hello, and he was well-measured.It was just a coincidence that Lu Xiaofeng who was secretly drinking on the branch fell off with a plop.

Huamanlou also came forward, and the ferret in his hand was turned into a smooth and smooth beautiful ferret in just a few steps, and now he is nestling comfortably in Huamanlou's arms. shaking his beard.

Lu Xiaofeng carefully put Dongfang Bubai's golden needle into his belt, and said happily, "How many golden needles did you bring out this time?"

The customer raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

Huamanlou laughed when he heard the words, raised his hand and patted Lu Xiaofeng on the shoulder, turned his head and said kindly to the customer: "Recently, he was tricked into a gambling house by a beauty trick and almost couldn't get out. It's not enough to put it all on the table, so I added the golden needle you gave him before, but it turned out that the boss of the gambling shop was shocked when he saw the golden needle, and he wanted to forgive Brother Lu's debt. Miao turned around and snatched the golden needle back."

The customer touched his chin and said speechlessly, "You must not be entering a shop under the name of the Sun Moon God Sect, right?"

The Sun Moon God Sect has shops all over the place that make a living. Naturally, there are a lot of businesses like casinos and brothels that come in quickly and are easy to get news from.

Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly: "How can I, since I met you, I have to check if it is a shop under the name of the Sun Moon God Sect before I go in... Fortunately, Qitong's family doesn't open a casino brothel, otherwise I really have no place went."

Lu Xiaofeng always went to the gambling table when he had no money, and lived a chic and romantic life, but he always avoided the property of his friends.

It's just that this time it was really set up by someone, the table was filled with beauties, so Lu Xiaofeng almost stayed in the casino.

"Then how did you come out?" Customer Ci asked curiously seeing Lu Xiaofeng's look of bitterness and hatred when he recalled it.

A trace of pride flashed in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes: "I rubbed the golden needles into golden peas in front of them, and placed them in a round row."

They wanted golden needles because they wanted to use Dongfang Bubai's weapon to climb the Blackwood Cliff, and the golden needle might be unique to Dongfang Bubai.But there is no name written on the row of golden beans.

The customer Ci laughed and gave Lu Xiaofeng a thumbs up.

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his two mustaches and blinked: "You say I'm going to trouble him in front of Dongfang Hierarch now, can I have a bag full of golden beans to buy wine by tomorrow?"

"Then I reckon that Dongfang may completely cure Lu Xiaofeng's alcohol addiction for many years." Customer Ci looked thoughtful.

Huamanlou couldn't help laughing, he has always been gentle and kind to others, not all the friends around Lu Xiaofeng can become friends with him, Ximen Chuuxue is like this, Dongfang Bubai is also like this.

Even though the introverted Dongfang Bubai didn't have the murderous aura of Ximen Chuixue, Hua Manlou could smell the same bloody aura from the two of them.

Everyone in the world has their own morality to act. Hua Manlou, whose heart is like a bright moon, never asks others to change their minds because of him. He is a person who is truly gentle to the bottom of his heart.

But Kuan Ci was a person that made Huamanlou curious. Hua Manlou could feel the sword intent from Kuan Ci's body, but he couldn't capture the sharp and murderous aura that most swordsmen have. There was a faint smell of blood on his body, but it was more covered by the warmth of the afternoon sun. Such a gentle person with a bloody smell was the most inconclusive existence that Huamanlou had seen in his life.

"By the way, the people behind the gambling house are very interested in Dongfang Hierarch and Brother Gu, and I don't know why."

Lu Xiaofeng said kindly to the customer as if thinking of something, "I checked for a few days, and found that many spies came in and out of the gambling shop to inquire about your news, but the people behind the scenes probably noticed it and shut down the shop immediately. It was a gambling shop, and within two days, it was replaced by a mediocre rouge shop, and there was no other trace."

"Not everyone needs to open a gambling shop to make money these days." The customer said something meaningful, rubbed his chin and suddenly asked Hua Manlou, "Brother Hua, what's bothering you?"

Hua Manlou was taken aback for a moment, and immediately let go of the smile on his face, and said helplessly, "Why is Brother Gu so perceptive?"

"Hey, let me tell you about this." Lu Xiaofeng dragged the customer aside and whispered about the Iron Shoes Thief.

It turns out that Hua Manlou was not blind from birth, but was stabbed in the eyes by a thief called the "Iron Shoes Bandit" when he was a child. More than ten years ago, Hua's father had joined forces with the masters of the rivers and lakes to kill the Iron Shoes Bandit.

But Huamanlou has always been convinced that the iron shoe thief is not dead, and this has become the only demon in Huamanlou's heart.

This time, Father Hua took advantage of the opportunity of his [-]th birthday to unite Lu Xiaofeng and other martial arts heroes, let Lu Xiaofeng put on a co-act of "the iron shoe thief is really not dead", and let Huamanlou kill the iron man with his own hands. The shoe thief came to resolve the demons.

But he didn't expect that the invulnerable Xuesi wrap that Lu Xiaofeng was wearing that night was dropped by someone.

If it wasn't for Huamanlou who was too familiar with Lu Xiaofeng, he almost stabbed Lu Xiaofeng's heart with a sword.

——Fortunately, it was Lu Xiaofeng who came to play the iron shoe thief. If it wasn't for Lu Xiaofeng, who Huamanlou knew very well, if Huamanlou's sword went down and killed someone, let alone resolve the iron shoe thief's inner demons, he would never hurt when he walked the rivers and lakes How should people spend their lives dealing with themselves in the future?

"The elders of Hua's family care about it, but you are confused. Don't you always pretend to be smart, why don't you trust Brother Hua's intuition?" Customer Ci wondered.

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his nose, in fact, he had been self-reflecting on this point for a day.

Huamanlou's hearing is very good, he could actually hear Lu Xiaofeng's voice clearly, he knew that Lu Xiaofeng didn't want to make his heart hurt by telling the story again, and his heart warmed slightly, but his current worry was not just because of the Iron Shoes Thief thing.

"Actually, there is one more thing. I went to find my father last night, and only then did I know that there is a token from the Western Regions in the secret room of Peach Blossom Castle. It is a Jade Buddha, which is a token entrusted to father by the Lord of Hanhai Kingdom. Recently, Peach Blossom Castle Strange things happened frequently, and the iron shoe thief came back again." Hua Manlou paused, "The ruler of Hanhai Kingdom has not communicated with his father for half a year, and my father suspects that there may be civil strife in Hanhai Kingdom. Someone is eyeing this Jade Buddha of the Vast Sea."

"Hanhai country... from the Western Regions?" The customer turned to Huamanlou thoughtfully, and looked at the ferret in Huamanlou's arms, "Otherwise, I will help Brother Hua solve the problem of Hanhai country. As a reward, Brother Hua, how about doing me a favor?"

Hua Manlou was surprised and was about to speak when he saw Kuan Ci take out a jade tablet from his sleeve and wave it around his fingers.

Lu Xiaofeng hissed immediately when he saw the disturbingly familiar object, took the jade plate and looked it up and down carefully, not daring to believe it: "This is the real Rakshasa card? How could it be in your hands? hand?"

Thinking about what Yu Luocha said at the beginning that he had a son whose identity was unknown to the entire martial arts world, Lu Xiaofeng doubted, "Could you be..."

"I have a little friendship with Master Yu, and I have some old matters to deal with when I go down the mountain. This is a small thing that Master Yu borrowed from his son for me to use for two days."

Kuanci wrote lightly that he didn't say anything about his relationship with Yu Luocha, let alone who Yu Luocha's real son is.

"Little thing?" Lu Xiaofeng put the Rakshasa card that caused a bloodbath in the whole world back into Customer Ci's hand with a sense of sympathy, "I beg you, please put away this little thing that commands the Western Regions. Don't let this stuff flow into the martial arts people."

Customer Ci turned to Hua Manlou, and said again: "Brother Hua and I are friends, and friends are familiar with each other through troubles. For me, the matter of Hanhai Kingdom may be just a small matter that can be solved with a few words, and I It's a big deal to ask Brother Hua for help. I took advantage of it, if Brother Hua still refuses, I don't know how to deal with it."

Hua Manlou smiled helplessly, had no choice but to agree, and asked the customer kindly, "I don't know what brother Gu wants Qitong to do?"

The customer narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "Raise a child."

The smile on Hua Manlou's lips froze: "?"

Lu Xiaofeng leaned back, subconsciously wanting to see Dongfang Bubai who had already entered the inner courtyard, turned his head and lowered his voice and said kindly to the customer: "Where did you get the child? The apprentice you accepted is..."

The customer glanced at Lu Xiaofeng with distaste, raised his hand and turned Diao upside down in Hua Manlou's arms, and sighed, "Diao is not like a Diao..."

Hua Manlou lowered his head slowly, feeling the fluffy little body in his arms like a small stove, blessed to his heart: "The child that brother Gu said is not referring to..."

"Yes, that's it." The customer Ci took it for granted, "He's got a little left-handed when he's with me and Dongfang. Brother Hua, let Brother Hua take care of us for a while."

Lu Xiaofeng had a weird expression, the scene in front of him was vividly a helpless old father sending his undisciplined child to the good-tempered teacher of the academy—if one ignores that the child is a fluffy ferret.

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, and did not show any strangeness at all because she was entrusted to raise a mink. She seemed to think about it, then nodded kindly to the customer and said: "I see, my father's birthday party will be gone in a few days." , I will take Diao'er to Baihualou, there are many flowers there, and there are many guests coming and going from north to south, with many stories, Diao'er should like it there."

Customer Ci heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a very sincere tone, "Thank you."

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

Is there really only one who dares to give and the other who dares to accept?

Moreover, Hua Manlou's tone didn't sound like he had raised a mink, but rather he had taken in a student.

At this time, the ferret in Huamanlou's arms seemed to have understood what the two of them said, and suddenly changed from lying prone to sitting upright between Huamanlou's arms. Blooming flowers all over the building and praying.

Hua Manlou couldn't see, nor could he imagine the movements of the ferret in his arms, so he didn't react for a while.

Customer Ci stood by and looked at the scene in front of him with relief: "It is doing the teacher's ceremony."

Hua Manlou smiled and rolled his eyes, raised his hand to stroke the ferret's head, and said softly, "Good boy."

Lu Xiaofeng with a blank face: "..."

Is it these two who are abnormal, or am I?

-

In the middle of the night, Customer Ci hugged Dongfang Bubai, and the two chatted without saying a word.

Dongfang Bubai likes to relax in the arms of customer Ci and close his eyes without thinking about anything. Hearing customer Ci talk about the ferret, he said: "Huamanlou is indeed a good candidate."

Ferret has been with customers Ci and Dongfang Bubai for a long time, and the thoughts in Ferret's head have been deeply influenced by them.What is lacking now is an understanding of human nature and a preference for people.

Customers want a main god who is kind to people, and there is no more suitable candidate than Huamanlou, who is full of love and gratitude for everything in the world.

Customer Ci caressed Dongfang Bubai's long hair, and said softly: "This is one aspect, and on the other hand, I don't really want it to follow us to the Chenwang Mausoleum."

Dongfang Bubai closed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his lips moved slightly: "But what did you remember?"

The customer Ci sniffed the cold fragrance from Dongfang Bubai's hair, paused for a while before saying: "No, it's just a subconscious thought."

Subconsciously, customer Ci felt that the ferrets should be kept away from the things in the tomb of Prince Chen.

"I'm afraid the imperial court will not allow us to enter the Mausoleum of the King Chen so easily, and we may need to use some means." Dongfang Bubai rested his hand on the bed, tapping the bed with his fingertips lightly, "Master Yu should have rushed to the capital already one step ahead." .”

Now it is time to see how much the royal family attaches importance to Chenwang Mausoleum.

Customer Ci was silent for a while, and slowly stretched out his hand to wrap around Dongfang Bubai's waist, and said suddenly: "If I am really Chen Wang, then the death of Chen Wang back then should not be due to illness."

Dongfang Bubai's fingers stopped immediately.

"When I woke up in the main god's space, I didn't have anything on my body that could indicate my identity, and I didn't have the slightest memory in my mind, but I held a dagger in my hand."

Customer Ci held Dongfang Bubai's hand and gently supported her left chest: "And here, there used to be a scar pierced by a dagger."

It's just that Customer Ci used the mission points to reshape his body later, and only then did he get rid of the fatal wound.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes suddenly burst into intense anger, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "How dare they—"

"I wasn't forced, I should have voluntarily." The customer tenderly kissed Dongfang Bubai's side face soothingly, wrapped his fingers around Dongfang Bubai's hand, and pressed the palms together, "There is a note in the handle of the dagger, I accidentally discovered it in a dungeon of the main god, and there was a line written on it."

“[Remember to go home]”

-

"In Peach Blossom Castle?"

Muttering something to himself, the young man in white put the teacup in his hand aside, and was in a daze for a while. When he came back to his senses, the man kneeling in front of him was already dripping with cold sweat. He asked with a smile, "Are you afraid of me?"

The man moved his Adam's apple with difficulty, trying to maintain a steady voice: "Return to the Ninth Young Master, my subordinate..."

Seeing his appearance, Gong Jiu lost interest, put away the smile on his face, and said expressionlessly: "It's boring, let's go down."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately exited the room as fast as he could.

Gong Jiu is a very boring person. He has opened thousands of gambling shops under his name but never gambles, and he never drinks alcohol when he goes to brothels and wine shops.

He doesn't like women, wealth, and things that men all over the world crave for.

He just wants to try to make himself feel that life is interesting and to live, because he hasn't figured out how to get revenge on the father who values ​​power and status more than his wife and son.

Sitting quietly in the room alone and thinking about it, Gong Jiu thought of the importance that the little old man Wu Ming paid when he mentioned the "customer's kindness", and tilted his head.

——Don’t let others have the opportunity to kill Customer Ci?

Then if the customer's kindness died at his hands, the little old man would be furious, right?

The last time the little old man was angry and nailed him into a coffin for a few days?three days?four days?Or five days?Gong Jiu likes the pain and pleasure of being on the verge of death, which makes him feel clearly that he is still alive.

Pain is the existence in the world that makes Gong Jiu feel warm and happy.

Gong Jiu tried hard to recall for a while, but gave up.

Standing up with the dagger at his waist, Gong Jiu, dressed in white, slowly walked out of this rouge shop in the downtown area. While walking, he suddenly caught a strong man and asked with a smile on his lips. : "May I ask how to get to Peach Blossom Fort?"

The man who was grabbed by Leng Buding immediately widened his bull's eyes, and cursed: "Get out! What's going on these days, you are everywhere with your little boy who holds a sword and thinks he is nothing!"

Gong Jiu was scolded by Doutou, and he even felt the spray splashed on his face during the man's vulgar movements, and the corners of his mouth curled down, a little unhappy.

"You—ah!!"

Accompanied by the man's stern scream, the man as strong as an ox fell to the ground and curled up in pain. The eye sockets that originally had eyes kept oozing blood between the man's fingers.

The screams sounded one after another, and the people in the place where Gong Jiu and the man were were suddenly panicked.

Gong Jiu stepped on the man's arm, squatted down and lightly stuffed the two greasy and elastic things into the man's palm, then stood up, slowly took out the handkerchief from the sleeve to wipe clean his fingers, and then pulled the handkerchief casually. A scholar came over and asked gently: "Excuse me, how can I get to Peach Blossom Fort?"

The scholar tremblingly said the direction, and then watched helplessly as the terrifying young man in white clothes walked in the opposite direction, his back quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.

"Hey, you are brave enough. Is Peach Blossom Fort going that way? Do you dare to point such a character in the wrong direction? Are you afraid to come back and deal with you?"

The people who had been hiding aside saw the evil spirit go away, so they rushed out of the shop and grabbed the scholar.

The scholar trembling his lower lip was so scared that his face turned pale, and he stammered: "I, I, I, I don't have it... I'm talking about the south!! But that person wants to go to the north, how dare I stop him?"

-

The next day, Lu Xiaofeng who came back from the outside was followed by a young man in white, handsome in appearance, exuding the temperament of a nobleman.

"Who is this?" Hua Manlou asked.

"His name is Gong Jiu, and he also came to celebrate Uncle Hua's birthday, but he seems to have lost his way... When I met him, he was asking for directions." Lu Xiaofeng smiled and handed the invitation to Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou accepted the invitation, thinking secretly.

Gong Nine?

Why does it seem that I have never heard of this name?
