"Go!" Lu Xiaofeng said firmly.
"Did you know that the palace has eight hundred iron guards, patrolling day and night, and everyone is equipped with a strong crossbow. Once someone breaks in, they will be killed."
"know."
"Do you know that there are countless masters sitting in the palace, and Prince Pingnan's son has already obtained the true biography of the Lord of Baiyun City."
"I know, it is said that the son is the number one master in the mansion."
"Then you still have to go, aren't you afraid of death?" Xue Bing asked tearfully, what he couldn't ask was that you stabbed your friend, so what about me, your lover?
"Of course I'm afraid, but if I want to investigate the case, I have to go. I have to go there myself to know if there are any loopholes in the palace's defenses, and whether the embroidered thieves can get in." Lu Xiaofeng believed in his friends, but he believed in himself even more.Lu Xiaofeng is proud, and usually hides his pride in the small hip-hop alarm clock, but he is more proud and confident than many people. If he can't break in, then the embroidered thief really can't get in.
"I..." Xue Bing wanted to say that she should ask Lu Xiaofeng's friends to reduce the danger, but what's the point of Lu Xiaofeng going to the palace?Xue Bing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Lu Xiaofeng patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly.
Xue Bing was speechless, she found that Lu Xiaofeng treated her more and more perfunctory, especially after meeting Jiang Qingxia, Lu Xiaofeng still could not trust her after all.There are also Yan Lide and others, who keep saying that the embroidered thief is the person in the red shoes. The red shoes are a place she has always yearned for but never entered. Now she is standing faintly opposite Lu Xiaofeng.Xue Bing checked, that Yan Lide is the young master of Shanxi Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, and he is still involved with the imperial court. I don't know if there is a reason why the embroidered thieves moved to the royal family, but he also got involved in this muddy water.The rivers and lakes and courts have always kept the rivers and lakes in check, Yan Lide slandered Lu Xiaofeng, and what was even more hateful was that Lu Xiaofeng believed him even more.For the prodigal son Lu Xiaofeng, the choice between friends and lovers couldn't be more obvious.
Xue Bing's expression darkened, she couldn't persuade Lu Xiaofeng, she could only get angry, stamped her feet and ran out.
"Aren't you going to chase?" Hua Manlou asked through the window. He stood here for a long time and listened to all the conversations between the two, but Xue Bing was immersed in his emotions and didn't notice it.
"Xue Bing's martial arts are not bad, and he is in the Snake King's territory, why should I worry about it." Lu Xiaofeng pretended to be chic.In fact, he wished he could follow with his wings, but he had a hunch that Yan Lide was right, Xue Bing did have a problem.Lu Xiaofeng doubts Yan Lide and also Xue Bing, but he is good at finding the part he can believe in the people he doubts.
"This is not Lu Xiaofeng's style of pity and cherish jade."
"Lu Xiaofeng is indeed sympathetic, but he is not a fool." Lu Xiaofeng laughed at himself.
........................
Just do what you say, Lu Xiaofeng decided to break into the Pingnan Palace that night, and Huamanlou followed suit.
When they set off, Yan Lide also received the news, and Zhu Houzhao asked, "Shall we go?"
"Don't go."
"why?"
"Have you forgotten your identity, cousin? There are plenty of people in the Pingnan Palace who know you." What's more, the Pingnan Palace is ambitious, and there will be real and fake emperors in the future. He doesn't want Zhu Houzhao to take risks.
"Isn't there a disguise technique? I can disguise myself." Zhu Houzhao admitted that he was very curious, and he wanted to watch how people from all walks of life attacked Wang Jue's mansion.
Yan Lide glanced at him in surprise, and said: "The one who pretends to be the top one has deceived himself. It is difficult for you to deceive others with your disguise, let alone deceive yourself. Disguise is only on the surface. Although Lu Xiaofeng is smart, he is still a man of the world. I don’t pay attention to the changes in the court, but King Pingnan will meet. I am a third-rank member of the court, and I take good care of a cousin who has never met. The excuse of the clan’s distant relatives can’t fool King Pingnan. If the vassal king knows the prince What are the consequences of leaving Beijing without permission?"
"I didn't leave Beijing privately. Besides, can't you be more casual with me? Anyway, I don't feel how respectful you are." Zhu Houzhao muttered.
"Your Highness~" Yan Lide rarely called him so formally, and Zhu Houzhao knew that there was no room for discussion on this matter. "Your Highness, I'm a human being, not a god. If I'm a human being, I'll doze off sometimes, and my inadvertent little movements and inattentive tone will become a target in the eyes of experts. Why take risks for meaningless things? The son of a thousand gold doesn't sit Hang down."
Maybe Yan Lide's face was too ugly, maybe Zhu Houzhao didn't want to see the jokes of the Pingnan Palace so much, Zhu Houzhao rarely stayed in the other courtyard peacefully, waiting for the first-hand news from the guards.
Lu Xiaofeng broke into the palace at night to test how people can break into the treasury without disturbing the guards of the palace.The government treasury has just been robbed by embroidered thieves, and the guards are even tighter. Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou did not change their night clothes, and Lu Xiaofeng also left a way out for himself.Only by himself, Lu Xiaofeng can take risks, Huamanlou is together, Lu Xiaofeng must ensure safety.
Although Huamanlou cannot see, he is definitely not a burden. Even at night when his eyes are not working, Huamanlou's sense of hearing and touch are more sensitive, and he is more able to help Lu Xiaofeng.
The treasury is in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard of the palace, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou climbed over the wall, flew over the eaves, and soon reached the wall of the outer courtyard of the treasury.Both of them are rare masters in the world, and their lightness skills are superb, and they did not disturb the guards.Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng stood on the wall, Lu Xiaofeng made a gesture, let him try it out, and Huamanlou stepped forward to respond.
Lu Xiaofeng practiced his lightness kung fu enough, and he was really like a phoenix with spread wings, soaring wantonly in the night sky.Lu Xiaofeng landed lightly like a moth, lightly landed on the roof above the treasury, still did not disturb the guards.Then Lu Xiaofeng gently untied the tiles, only to see a fine barbed wire stretched underneath, with bells hanging on the nets, Lu Xiaofeng observed carefully, there was absolutely no hole through which anyone could pass.Then a breeze came and jingled—
"Enemy attack, be on alert!" The squad leader on patrol shouted, piercing the silent night sky.The courtyard of the treasury was brightly lit immediately, Lu Xiaofeng lying on the roof had nowhere to hide, the bow and crossbow team had already been in place, they opened their bows and shot, the arrows were like locusts, clattering towards Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng used that trick again, just like when he attacked Huo Xiu, Lu Xiaofeng took out a few copper coins, skillfully with his fingers, the copper coins flew out, ding ding ding, and cut the bowstrings of the first row of guards one after another.
"Change the crossbow!" The little boss yelled, and the guards who had their bowstrings cut retreated in response. The people in the second and third rows continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows. It sounded, with the sound of crossbow arrows flying in the air, and shot towards Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou with a faster, more, and wider posture.
Yes, Lu Xiaofeng was very good at concealing weapons. Five copper coins cut through a team of bowstrings, which is indeed remarkable.But no matter how heroic he is, he can't stop the crowd.Huamanlou was standing on the courtyard wall and was quickly discovered. The crossbow team was divided into two groups and shot arrows at two people. landing.But the sleeves are cloth after all, no match for iron arrows, and Hua Manlou is a person after all, unable to withstand rounds of shooting.Soon Huamanlou's sleeve was cut, so, is he still far away from being shot?
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't just watch Huamanlou suffer and jump off the roof, ready to fight.The melee combat space is limited, and the people who can get close are also limited. The position changes between maneuvers are extremely fast, and the archers and crossbow teams are not easy to attack from a distance, and it is easy to accidentally injure teammates, which is very beneficial to Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng's countermeasure was right, as soon as he jumped off the roof, Huamanlou's pressure suddenly eased a lot, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the one who went to explore the roof of the treasury was the mastermind.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng landed, the crossbowmen put away their long-range arrows and crossbows, and before they rushed up like a tide, a bright light appeared in front of Lu Xiaofeng's eyes.
What a splendid sword this is!It's like a shocking light, like a long rainbow passing through the sky!Cold like moonlight shining on the ground, majestic like a flying fairy descending from the clouds, ethereal and elusive, the light came to meet Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, straight to his chest.
retreat!retreat!retreat!
Lu Xiaofeng quickly backed away, and he found that he couldn't counteract this brilliant sword head-on, he could only retreat, faster than when he came, faster than when he encountered a crossbow, faster than flying copper coins, exhausted his life Only by retreating as fast as possible can you not be hurt by the sword energy.Lu Xiaofeng rowed across the yard all the way, almost running away, the hateful yard space is limited after all, behind him is a wall, a brick wall.Lu Xiaofeng didn't have the time and space to move up and down, left and right, and he was about to be stabbed.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaofeng's chest sank.Yes, his chest seemed to have no bones, and it sunk contrary to common sense, and then Lu Xiaofeng stretched out that famous consonant finger, and clamped the long sword.
As soon as his fingers touched the sword, Lu Xiaofeng understood that this person didn't mean to kill him, even though the sword was so fierce but the sword didn't have much strength, this person didn't want to kill him.Wanting to understand this point, Lu Xiaofeng became even more afraid. The sword bearer must know his own sword so well that he can use such a majestic and well-timed sword. Know what strength you should use.Changing swordplay at will, anticipating the enemy's experience in fighting the enemy is the supreme realm of martial arts, and it is already unparalleled in the world.
The sword rested on his chest, and Lu Xiaofeng felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
When the sword stopped, Lu Xiaofeng had the heart to see who the swordsman who almost killed him was.He saw a young man in white with a beard standing in front of him, holding a long sword in his hand.This personality is cold, noble and ethereal, he looks at people like a god looking down on the world, just like an emperor inspecting his subjects.For a moment, Lu Xiaofeng thought it was his good friend Ximen Chuuxue, because he had only seen Ximen Chuuxue use such a sword move.Soon Lu Xiaofeng realized that something was wrong, even though both of them were wearing white clothes, the person in front of him was even more unattainable, he was an emperor overlooking the world, a high flying fairy.
"Ye Gucheng?" Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed.
"Lu Xiaofeng." Ye Gucheng also confirmed the identity of the person in front of him. This person who can catch his full-strength sword is Lu Xiaofeng who has no colorful phoenix and two flying wings.
Lu Xiaofeng felt relieved, let go of the long sword, and Ye Gucheng retracted the sword back into its sheath.
"City Master Ye scared Lu Xiaofeng to death, and almost became a dead phoenix." Lu Xiaofeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and temples, feeling lingering fear, "Thank you City Master Ye for your mercy."
"No." Ye Gucheng said lightly: "I didn't show mercy, you know you can catch it."
Because he is Lu Xiaofeng, he is the one who can catch Ximen Chuixue's sword move, so he must be able to catch Ye Gucheng's sword.If he couldn't handle it and died, then he must not be Lu Xiaofeng.If he really died, it would not be a pity to die. Lu Xiaofeng, who couldn't catch the flying fairy, had no value in existence.
"You caught Ximen Chuuxue's sword." Ye Gucheng didn't know whether it was a statement or doubt.
"Yeah, I have acquaintance with Ximen, and he tried his sword on me."
"Very good, Ximen Chuuxue is very good..." Ximen Chuuxue is also an unparalleled swordsman, Ximen Chuuxue is the proud plum on the top of the mountain, Ye Gucheng is the leader of the swordsmen in the South China Sea, they are already standing on the top of the mountain, two Sooner or later there will be a battle between peerless swordsmen.
Lu Xiaofeng seemed to understand Ye Gucheng's implication, and quickly changed the subject. Ximen Chuixue is his friend. Although Ye Gucheng has just met, he is also a rare person. When two sharp swords collide, it is always a sword. Lu Xiaofeng I don't want to see this ending.Lu Xiaofeng heard that the palace did not dispatch troops on a large scale, thought it was because of Ye Gucheng being the master of the prince's son, and said with a smile: "Didn't the palace send anyone to arrest Lu Xiaofeng? It is really in the honor of Lord Ye."
"It has nothing to do with me." Ye Gucheng nodded lightly, turned and left.Lu Xiaofeng wanted to call him back, but someone behind him stopped him first.
"Well, Lu Xiaofeng, you really came to the palace at night."
Jin Jiuling, dressed in brocade, walked over calmly with Huamanlu. Huamanlou was not injured and moved freely.
"Jin Jiuling? Why are you here? You have already found the Pingnan Palace?" Lu Xiaofeng asked one after another. They met in a race to investigate the case, to see who could investigate the case faster. Unexpectedly, Jin Jiuling walked ahead of him.
Jin Jiuling laughed loudly, "When you come to the palace at night, don't you first ask who is the head of the palace?"
"Could it be?"
"That's right, I have officially taken over the position of the Chief of the Palace. My first task is to find out who the embroidered thief is and recover the stolen pearl." Jin Jiuling explained.
"Okay, okay, it's really the first thing to do with wine and water. I still want to get the cooperation of the palace. Since you are the manager, then take me to see the treasury." Lu Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You won't Deliberately don’t let me see it, so that you can win.”
"Of course not, let's go." Jin Jiuling was not such a disloyal person, and immediately dragged Lu Xiaofeng to see the treasury, and Hua Manlou followed.
As expected, the government treasury was heavily organised. Even if Jin Jiuling, the chief executive, came in person, he would have to go through several inspection procedures.Jin Jiuling took out the key from his bosom and opened the door. The lock was a thousand-machine lock. Even if Sikong Zhaixing or Zhu Ting came over, it would take a long time to unlock it, and the guards kept patrolling, so there was no chance to turn the tiger away from the mountain and unlock it alone.
Opening the gate, there is a barbed wire fence full of bells, the four walls are covered with iron plates, and above the head is the barbed wire fence that Lu Xiaofeng exposed just now.
Lu Xiaofeng did not give up and searched all around, but still found nothing, looked at Huamanlou, who also shook his head.
Helpless, the three had no choice but to leave the treasury gate first, and then plan to follow up.
"Hey, this case is really tricky, do I want to lose to you?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"It's not shameful to lose to me, and I haven't won yet." Jin Jiuling laughed.
"Ai, ai, ai, Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, why are you so miserable!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed at himself loudly.
"What?" Jin Jiuling asked cooperatively.
"Traveling for thousands of miles, I found nothing. I haven't had a drink for several days, and the glutton in my stomach keeps screaming. Jin Jiuling—" Lu Xiaofeng put his hands on his shoulders, looking like two brothers, "It's your place, how about buying me a drink?"
"What's missing, it's not that you, a drunkard, are missing wine! Let's go, go to the palace wine cellar to choose, it's my fault." Jin Jiuling said proudly, he seems to have entered the palace now and can be the master of the house .
"You guys go, I don't like drinking, and this disheveled one is too rude." Hua Manlou refused. When two crime-solving experts were together, they would always talk about the case, and Hua Manlou was not interested.
"I didn't think carefully, Hua Manlou went to my yard first..."
"No need, Manager Jin will do as he pleases. I'll go find City Lord Ye. The Hua family has some business dealings with Feixian Island. Hua Manlou and City Lord Ye have some connections." Hua Manlou is a very talkative person. Well, other people only know that he is gentle and kind, and never pokes people's scars, but they don't know that he has the ability to flatter others.Jin Jiuling was full of self-satisfaction when he called the chief executive Jin. He was already the chief executive of the palace, and his rank was higher than when he was in Six Doors.
Jin Jiuling said goodbye happily, and took the alcoholic Lu Xiaofeng to choose wine.
The wine cellar of the palace is rich in wine, as soon as Lu Xiaofeng came in, he was like a mouse that fell into a rice vat, he couldn't think of it, he immediately opened a mud seal and drank freely.
"Good wine!" Lu Xiaofeng started to observe the wine cellar after he was addicted to alcohol, the jars were neatly arranged under the dim light, and some of the jars still had mildew spots.Lu Xiaofeng looked around and asked, "Is the wine cellar next to the treasury?"
Jin Jiuling knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, I checked it a long time ago, the wine cellar is not connected to the treasury, there is no trace of excavation, and there are iron plates on the floor of the treasury, it is really an iron room. I did it too. How could you not have noticed this after years of being a fast catcher?"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, yes, after many years of arresting, I don't know how many cases of secret room murder and secret room theft, how can he be inexperienced, Jin Jiuling must know something?Why not tell yourself, just because you want to win him?
Lu Xiaofeng touched his mustache in embarrassment, as if he was embarrassed by someone, and said with a smile: "I'm overthinking."
Lu Xiaofeng selected several altars of good wine and sent them to the inn.After a busy night without any gains, Lu Xiaofeng was a little depressed and asked Huamanlou to go shopping at the night market.Hua Manlou also changed out of her outer robe, and only wore a brocade gown with a jade belt around her waist and a folding fan in her hand. She was so personable that all her daughters looked straight at her along the way.
Lu Xiaofeng took the flowers thrown by the woman on the side of the road, and said with a smile, "This Fujian woman is really bold."
Huamanlou ignored him and said, "The West Garden is really prosperous."
"This West Garden is specially used for the night market, so it's naturally bustling and lively." But in the bustling night market, there are also cool places, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were walking, and they came to an alley away from the street.The night lights flickered in the wind, and an old voice came from afar: "Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, fragrant and sweet stir-fried chestnuts with sugar."
The visitor approached slowly, and under the light, it turned out to be an old woman with gray hair and hunched back, as if her spine had been bent by the hardships of life.It's so pitiful to make a living selling sugar-fried chestnuts in the night breeze at such an old age.
Lu Xiaofeng is also a person who respects the old, loves the young and pities the poor, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Mother-in-law, how do you sell candied chestnuts?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, twenty yuan a catty, my stir-fried chestnuts are delicious and sweet, sir, come and order some." The old lady is an honest person, and her boasting words are "sweet and fragrant" over and over again.
"Give me a catty." Lu Xiaofeng smiled.
The mother-in-law put the basket on the ground, took out a paper bag and put it in a catty for Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng took out a piece of silver and handed it to the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law shy away and refused, saying: "I can't do it, I can't do it, the old lady can't find it, I can't find it."
"Then send it to mother-in-law."
"No matter what, it's enough to buy a few baskets of chestnuts." The old woman was still very sorry, it was already a rare kind person to take care of her business at night, how could she ask for more money.
The more the old woman refused, the more persistent Lu Xiaofeng became, and finally put the money in the basket and left gracefully.
Lu Xiaofeng held up the sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand and said to Huamanlou: "Here is one."
Hua Manlou took one from the paper bag, and the old woman behind slowly straightened her waist, the corners of her lips curled up, she was about to see the tragic death of two young people, it was really happy.
At the moment when Hua Manlou was about to put the chestnut in his mouth, a golden pill suddenly flew over and knocked down the chestnut.
"Who?" It wasn't just Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou who asked, the old woman behind them also asked sharply.
Yan Lide walked out of the shadows with Zhu Houzhao, Lu Xiaofeng called out: "Brother Yan?" Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou immediately realized that the old woman had a problem, put aside the chestnuts, and waited for it.
"I'm not here for you this time, Lu Xiaofeng, I'm here for Gongsun Lan."
"Waste, what a good chestnut, one can poison several people to death, it's a pity to just throw it away like this!" The old woman, or Gongsun Lan no longer pretended, and recovered her clear and sweet female voice, no matter how beautiful the voice was , can't stop her malice.
"Gongsun Lan, you're going to be arrested before you put your hands up!" Yan Lide shouted, pushing Zhu Houzhao to Huamanlou's side.
Gongsun Lan's answer was to remove the two swords tied with streamers from the basket. Yan Lide had no liking for Gongsun Lan and attacked first.
Gongsunlan is said to have been inherited from Aunt Gongsun in the Tang Dynasty, so she also has a name called Aunt Gongsun.In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who moved all directions with her sword dance.The old and ugly old woman danced the twin swords tied with streamers, dazzlingly dazzling, glamorous and glamorous, and there was a murderous intent in this beauty.
"Gongsun Lan's martial arts are surprisingly high, I just didn't see that brother Yan is also so strong in martial arts." Lu Xiaofeng commented, when Yan Lide blocked Ximen Chuuxue's sword light with his sword at the water pavilion of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, Lu Xiaofeng knew his martial arts Not low, I didn't expect to underestimate him.Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou stood beside Zhu Houzhao to protect Zhu Houzhao so that Yan Lide would not be distracted from fighting Gongsun Lan.
"Brother Yan is indeed very strong in martial arts." Hua Manlou nodded in agreement. At their level of martial arts, it seems that only martial arts and swordsmanship can be described, but only those who have fought against each other know how high and strong they are.
Now Gongsun Lan knows it. I thought she was an unknown person, but I didn't expect her martial arts to be slightly better than her. As an old monster, Gongsun Lan took good care of her to make her look like a girl, but she is actually not young. She has experience in fighting the enemy. Rich, fierce moves, and excellent psychological quality, even so, he failed to win Yan Lide.The longer the fight, the more Gongsun Lan found herself struggling. Now she no longer wanted to kill the enemy with a sword, but was desperately looking for loopholes, hoping to escape.
Gongsun Lan found it soon, or Yan Lide never concealed it.Gongsun Lan quickly threw the plum blossom dart with her left hand, and went straight to Zhu Houzhao's face. The edge of the plum blossom dart flashed blue, which was obviously poisonous.
Yan Lide became ruthless and slashed at Gongsun Lan's left arm with a sword. If he dared to make a move, Yan Lide chopped off her hand.After all, Gongsun Lan is an old Jianghu, who cut off her tail to survive, desperately injured her left arm, and then attacked with a hidden weapon, forcing Yan Lide back, and took the opportunity to escape.
Yan Lide didn't go after him, but vented his internal strength with his backhand, wrapped the soft sword back around his waist, and the soft sword became a belt decoration again, Yan Lide regained the image of Mr. Pian Pianjia.Yan Lide approached Zhu Houzhao, and asked with concern, "Is there any injury?"
"No, cousin, don't treat me like a child, I know martial arts, and besides, there are Huamanlou." Zhu Houzhao was not happy, and said that he should not be too respectful to him, so as not to be misunderstood.
"Yeah, brother Yan, you're too nervous." Lu Xiaofeng laughed and changed the subject.This back street was too deserted, Hua Manlou led the way, and the four of them returned to the bustling main street, Lu Xiaofeng tentatively asked, "Brother Yan, are you here to visit the night market too?"
"No, the Lord is here to block Gongsun Lan." Yan Lide didn't hide anything, and said, "You know who she is."
"who is it?"
"Nvtu, Peach Blossom Bee, Lady of the Five Poisons, Mother-in-law, and Grandma Xiong are all her nicknames. The one who came out today must be Grandma Xiong."
"Aunt Gongsun?"
"Of course it's her. Didn't you notice just now that the old and ugly old woman is wearing a pair of red shoes that even a newlywed thinks they are gorgeous? Red shoes with owls embroidered on them." Yan Lide answered Lu Xiaofeng's question, and then turned to Huamanlou. : "Back when you said that a girl who smoked gold and jade incense passed by our carriage, I said that it had nothing to do with us, but now I know I was wrong."
"It was Gongsun Lan that day?" Hua Manlou asked in surprise, he never thought that the person he met on the road was actually Gongsun Lan.If he knew it was Gongsun Lan from the beginning, Yan Lide wondered if he would have the patience to wait for her to kill herself.
"I don't know if she was wearing red shoes that day."
"It's red shoes again, brother Yan, do you know something?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, since Yan Lide doesn't deal with red shoes, then he should be friends with him.
"Lu Xiaofeng, this is your case. You have a bet with Jin Jiuling, ask me, it's invincible." Yan Lide refused.
Lu Xiaofeng wondered in his heart what Yan Lide's purpose was, and from what he said, he knew everything about the red shoes, but he didn't want to tell him.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't ask any more questions, the four of them went together, bought a lot of snacks, lanterns, bells and other small things at the night market, and went back happily.
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou went back to the inn, and found that Xue Bing hadn't come yet, Hua Manlou suggested: "Go out and look for it."
"No, I'll ask the Snake King to watch for me." Jin Jiuling and Yan Lide gave him great doubts and pressure today, Lu Xiaofeng's mind is very confused now, and he doesn't want to ask about Xue Bing.
Hua Manlou sighed, remained silent, and went back to his room to rest.
It was not so easy for Yan Lide to fall asleep, and Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you kill Gongsun Lan."
"Gongsun Lan's martial arts are well known, are you sure I can kill her? You don't know martial arts."
"I'm not good at martial arts, but I know that if you want to kill her, you won't let her go! Why?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that Yan Lide intended to let her go.
"Cousin, I really hope you can still be so firm when you see Gongsun Lan's true face. Gongsun Lan is a stunning beauty." Yan Lide shook his head and said: "In the past, her ancestor, Aunt Gongsun in the Tang Dynasty, played a sword It is because of her that we are fortunate to see a wonderful volume of Danqing by Zhang Xu, the sage of grass, and to read a generous and sad "Sword Walk" by Du Fu, the sage of poetry. Even Wu Daozi, the sage of painting, I also experienced the way of using a brush by watching Aunt Gongsun dance with a sword. What kind of person should Aunt Gongsun be if she achieved the way of the Three Saints by one person. Gongsun Lan did not inherit the strength of her ancestors, but her martial arts have been passed down. She has an old face and old clothes, but with two swords in hand, she exudes a dazzling brilliance."
"Don't say that this is just a female devil who kills without blinking an eye. Even when her ancestors entered the palace to perform, they also replaced the double swords with wooden swords tied with colored silk. What a pity." Zhu Houde said indifferently: "Don't change the subject, you Why let her go?"
Well, forget that in front of you is His Highness the Crown Prince who is below one person and above ten thousand people, he only wants what he wants.
"For the Embroidery Thief. Aunt Gongsun is the key person to find out the Embroidery Thief. If I kill Gongsun Aunt, it's time to let the real murderer Embroidery Thief go unpunished. Cousin, don't worry, it will only take a few days before she dies sooner or later. Now that the people in the house are all together, how about giving her a one-pot meal to vent my anger on my cousin?"
"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Houzhao refused to admit it.
"Naturally, naturally, my cousin is only worried about the country and the people, calling for grievances for the innocent people, Gongsun Lan kills for fun, and everyone gets to punish him." Yan Lide has never changed his words, he has always been good at "telling the truth".
Never underestimate the protagonist's halo, Lu Xiaofeng found a clue, and he could track it down to the end.Lu Xiaofeng soon found out about Jiang Qingxia's past. After becoming a monk as Jiang Chongwei's younger sister, Jiang Qingxia was not a Buddhist who kept her own law.Being able to rank alongside Xue Bing as one of the Four Great Tigresses in Jianghu, Jiang Qingxia is also a well-known figure.Jiang Qingxia once gave birth to a child, but unfortunately the child died young, so she bought those red cloths with the warp and weft reversed, and embroidered black peonies to pay homage to her son.If you want to have a son, you must first have a man, a man who can make Jiang Qingxia willing to give birth to him, this man is the key to cracking the case of the embroidered robber.
Lu Xiaofeng followed Jiang Qingxia and found the red shoes, they will have a party soon, this is Lu Xiaofeng's opportunity to test.
Before Lu Xiaofeng could make more progress with Jiang Qingxia, the Snake King sent a message saying: "Xue Bing is missing."
How did Xue Bing disappear?According to the Snake King, he sent people to follow Xue Bing closely to prevent her from being left alone, and he also told his friends on the road that he would never hurt her.Xue Bing himself also has martial arts, so it is impossible for him to disappear for no reason.
When Jin Jiuling heard the news, he volunteered to help find someone. He also invited the local headhunter Lu Xing to join them. They found the courtyard where Xue Bing last appeared and entered the courtyard to investigate.
Jin Jiuling worked in the Gongmen for half his life, and many of the headhunters and fast arresters were his disciples and grandchildren, and they enjoyed a lot in Fujian. As a local leader, Lu Xing was very willing to help Jin Jiuling.
The three of them went to investigate together. According to the landlord, the house had been rented out for a year, and no one lived in it all year round. There were only occasional people coming and going, and they came and went in a hurry. The experienced three immediately realized that this was a stronghold.Lu Xiaofeng and others went in to investigate carefully, and found Xue Bing's head flower in a room similar to a boudoir.
Lu Xiaofeng opened the closet in the room, looked at the clothes of different styles and exquisite fabrics, and the various headgear on the dressing table, and asked Jin Jiuling: "What do you think is missing here?"
"What?" Jin Jiuling asked.
"There are beautiful clothes, beautiful jewelry, rouge, gouache, mirror and comb, but the shoes are missing. How can a woman who loves beauty not have replacement shoes, unless..."
"Unless she only wears red shoes!" Jin Jiuling and Lu Xiaofeng said in unison.
He got involved with the red shoes again, Lu Xiaofeng really has no patience for the red shoes, Xue Bing is his confidante, Lu Xiaofeng is willing to go through life and death for her.
"Eh?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly cried out in surprise, took out a box with intricate carvings from the closet, and said, "What is this?"
The foolish and bold Lu Xiaofeng opened it directly, but Jin Jiuling quickly knocked over the box and stood in front of him.
There was a puff of smoke coming out of the box, and Jin Jiuling was the first to be caught in the poisonous smoke.
Lu Xing quickly supported the limp Jin Jiuling, and said, "Hero Lu, I'll take him to the clinic."
Lu Xiaofeng felt the pulse and let Lu Xing take Jin Jiuling away without any fear of life. After they left, Lu Xiaofeng played with the opened box and looked suspiciously at the direction Jin Jiuling was leaving.
Don't think too much, at least there is no doubt that Xue Bing's disappearance is related to the red shoes, just inquired at Jiang Qingxia's place and found out that the party organized by the red shoes was about to start again, Lu Xiaofeng took the opportunity to sneak in.The leaders of the red shoes are having a meeting in the house, and Lu Xiaofeng hides in the big tree outside the house, trying to find Xue Bing's whereabouts.
The people sitting in the room all wore a pair of bright red shoes. Many of them are well-known, such as Jiang Qingxia, one of the four great tigresses in Jianghu, and Ouyang Qing, a famous prostitute. Of course, the most famous one is Aunt Gongsun sitting at the top.
They were taking stock of this month's income. Erniang took out a few scalps, saying that they were scalps from a heartless man; Bank notes, this is the proceeds of the brothel, and they are all contributed by lustful men... There are so many, and so on.
In the end, Aunt Gongsun asked Jiang Qingxia: "Your income has decreased a lot this month, what's the matter?"
"Lu Xiaofeng was chasing down the embroidery thief. For some reason, he came to my place and disturbed the business." Jiang Qingxia confidently pushed the blame on Lu Xiaofeng.
"Forget it, this month's income is not good, wait until next month, big sister, don't be angry. Didn't big sister say that there is a new sister to introduce to us? Why don't you see it?" Ouyang Qing saw that there was going to be a conflict between the sisters, so she was gentle and coquettish Change the subject.
"Yes, the new sister has passed my test. I was introduced to you today, but she suddenly disappeared. I am also looking for her."
"Oh, I'm going to be jealous of the new sister who can make the eldest sister bother so much." Ouyang Qing asked enchantingly.
"Xue Bing."
"Xue Bing of Shenzhen Villa, one of the four great tigresses in Jianghu."
"Exactly!" Gongsun Lan replied with a nod, while speaking, she flew out a plum blossom dart and hit the big tree outside the window. She had already found someone lurking in that tree.The seven red-shoe sisters in the room untied their weapons unanimously, and must not let anyone who heard the inside information about the red-shoes leave alive.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped down from the tree, fled far away, looked at Gongsun Lan for the rest of his life, and said, "Mrs. Gongsun, you said you didn't know Xue Bing's whereabouts. I don't believe it. When she left, she was wearing red clothes on her feet." shoe."
The author has something to say: catching bugs, those who are interested can read it again.
I was locked again because "the body has no colorful phoenix and double flying wings". Shuangfei is a sensitive word, and I am also convinced!
"Did you know that the palace has eight hundred iron guards, patrolling day and night, and everyone is equipped with a strong crossbow. Once someone breaks in, they will be killed."
"know."
"Do you know that there are countless masters sitting in the palace, and Prince Pingnan's son has already obtained the true biography of the Lord of Baiyun City."
"I know, it is said that the son is the number one master in the mansion."
"Then you still have to go, aren't you afraid of death?" Xue Bing asked tearfully, what he couldn't ask was that you stabbed your friend, so what about me, your lover?
"Of course I'm afraid, but if I want to investigate the case, I have to go. I have to go there myself to know if there are any loopholes in the palace's defenses, and whether the embroidered thieves can get in." Lu Xiaofeng believed in his friends, but he believed in himself even more.Lu Xiaofeng is proud, and usually hides his pride in the small hip-hop alarm clock, but he is more proud and confident than many people. If he can't break in, then the embroidered thief really can't get in.
"I..." Xue Bing wanted to say that she should ask Lu Xiaofeng's friends to reduce the danger, but what's the point of Lu Xiaofeng going to the palace?Xue Bing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Lu Xiaofeng patted her on the shoulder and comforted her softly.
Xue Bing was speechless, she found that Lu Xiaofeng treated her more and more perfunctory, especially after meeting Jiang Qingxia, Lu Xiaofeng still could not trust her after all.There are also Yan Lide and others, who keep saying that the embroidered thief is the person in the red shoes. The red shoes are a place she has always yearned for but never entered. Now she is standing faintly opposite Lu Xiaofeng.Xue Bing checked, that Yan Lide is the young master of Shanxi Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, and he is still involved with the imperial court. I don't know if there is a reason why the embroidered thieves moved to the royal family, but he also got involved in this muddy water.The rivers and lakes and courts have always kept the rivers and lakes in check, Yan Lide slandered Lu Xiaofeng, and what was even more hateful was that Lu Xiaofeng believed him even more.For the prodigal son Lu Xiaofeng, the choice between friends and lovers couldn't be more obvious.
Xue Bing's expression darkened, she couldn't persuade Lu Xiaofeng, she could only get angry, stamped her feet and ran out.
"Aren't you going to chase?" Hua Manlou asked through the window. He stood here for a long time and listened to all the conversations between the two, but Xue Bing was immersed in his emotions and didn't notice it.
"Xue Bing's martial arts are not bad, and he is in the Snake King's territory, why should I worry about it." Lu Xiaofeng pretended to be chic.In fact, he wished he could follow with his wings, but he had a hunch that Yan Lide was right, Xue Bing did have a problem.Lu Xiaofeng doubts Yan Lide and also Xue Bing, but he is good at finding the part he can believe in the people he doubts.
"This is not Lu Xiaofeng's style of pity and cherish jade."
"Lu Xiaofeng is indeed sympathetic, but he is not a fool." Lu Xiaofeng laughed at himself.
........................
Just do what you say, Lu Xiaofeng decided to break into the Pingnan Palace that night, and Huamanlou followed suit.
When they set off, Yan Lide also received the news, and Zhu Houzhao asked, "Shall we go?"
"Don't go."
"why?"
"Have you forgotten your identity, cousin? There are plenty of people in the Pingnan Palace who know you." What's more, the Pingnan Palace is ambitious, and there will be real and fake emperors in the future. He doesn't want Zhu Houzhao to take risks.
"Isn't there a disguise technique? I can disguise myself." Zhu Houzhao admitted that he was very curious, and he wanted to watch how people from all walks of life attacked Wang Jue's mansion.
Yan Lide glanced at him in surprise, and said: "The one who pretends to be the top one has deceived himself. It is difficult for you to deceive others with your disguise, let alone deceive yourself. Disguise is only on the surface. Although Lu Xiaofeng is smart, he is still a man of the world. I don’t pay attention to the changes in the court, but King Pingnan will meet. I am a third-rank member of the court, and I take good care of a cousin who has never met. The excuse of the clan’s distant relatives can’t fool King Pingnan. If the vassal king knows the prince What are the consequences of leaving Beijing without permission?"
"I didn't leave Beijing privately. Besides, can't you be more casual with me? Anyway, I don't feel how respectful you are." Zhu Houzhao muttered.
"Your Highness~" Yan Lide rarely called him so formally, and Zhu Houzhao knew that there was no room for discussion on this matter. "Your Highness, I'm a human being, not a god. If I'm a human being, I'll doze off sometimes, and my inadvertent little movements and inattentive tone will become a target in the eyes of experts. Why take risks for meaningless things? The son of a thousand gold doesn't sit Hang down."
Maybe Yan Lide's face was too ugly, maybe Zhu Houzhao didn't want to see the jokes of the Pingnan Palace so much, Zhu Houzhao rarely stayed in the other courtyard peacefully, waiting for the first-hand news from the guards.
Lu Xiaofeng broke into the palace at night to test how people can break into the treasury without disturbing the guards of the palace.The government treasury has just been robbed by embroidered thieves, and the guards are even tighter. Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou did not change their night clothes, and Lu Xiaofeng also left a way out for himself.Only by himself, Lu Xiaofeng can take risks, Huamanlou is together, Lu Xiaofeng must ensure safety.
Although Huamanlou cannot see, he is definitely not a burden. Even at night when his eyes are not working, Huamanlou's sense of hearing and touch are more sensitive, and he is more able to help Lu Xiaofeng.
The treasury is in the southeast corner of the inner courtyard of the palace, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou climbed over the wall, flew over the eaves, and soon reached the wall of the outer courtyard of the treasury.Both of them are rare masters in the world, and their lightness skills are superb, and they did not disturb the guards.Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng stood on the wall, Lu Xiaofeng made a gesture, let him try it out, and Huamanlou stepped forward to respond.
Lu Xiaofeng practiced his lightness kung fu enough, and he was really like a phoenix with spread wings, soaring wantonly in the night sky.Lu Xiaofeng landed lightly like a moth, lightly landed on the roof above the treasury, still did not disturb the guards.Then Lu Xiaofeng gently untied the tiles, only to see a fine barbed wire stretched underneath, with bells hanging on the nets, Lu Xiaofeng observed carefully, there was absolutely no hole through which anyone could pass.Then a breeze came and jingled—
"Enemy attack, be on alert!" The squad leader on patrol shouted, piercing the silent night sky.The courtyard of the treasury was brightly lit immediately, Lu Xiaofeng lying on the roof had nowhere to hide, the bow and crossbow team had already been in place, they opened their bows and shot, the arrows were like locusts, clattering towards Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng used that trick again, just like when he attacked Huo Xiu, Lu Xiaofeng took out a few copper coins, skillfully with his fingers, the copper coins flew out, ding ding ding, and cut the bowstrings of the first row of guards one after another.
"Change the crossbow!" The little boss yelled, and the guards who had their bowstrings cut retreated in response. The people in the second and third rows continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows. It sounded, with the sound of crossbow arrows flying in the air, and shot towards Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou with a faster, more, and wider posture.
Yes, Lu Xiaofeng was very good at concealing weapons. Five copper coins cut through a team of bowstrings, which is indeed remarkable.But no matter how heroic he is, he can't stop the crowd.Huamanlou was standing on the courtyard wall and was quickly discovered. The crossbow team was divided into two groups and shot arrows at two people. landing.But the sleeves are cloth after all, no match for iron arrows, and Hua Manlou is a person after all, unable to withstand rounds of shooting.Soon Huamanlou's sleeve was cut, so, is he still far away from being shot?
Lu Xiaofeng couldn't just watch Huamanlou suffer and jump off the roof, ready to fight.The melee combat space is limited, and the people who can get close are also limited. The position changes between maneuvers are extremely fast, and the archers and crossbow teams are not easy to attack from a distance, and it is easy to accidentally injure teammates, which is very beneficial to Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng's countermeasure was right, as soon as he jumped off the roof, Huamanlou's pressure suddenly eased a lot, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that the one who went to explore the roof of the treasury was the mastermind.
As soon as Lu Xiaofeng landed, the crossbowmen put away their long-range arrows and crossbows, and before they rushed up like a tide, a bright light appeared in front of Lu Xiaofeng's eyes.
What a splendid sword this is!It's like a shocking light, like a long rainbow passing through the sky!Cold like moonlight shining on the ground, majestic like a flying fairy descending from the clouds, ethereal and elusive, the light came to meet Lu Xiaofeng's eyes, straight to his chest.
retreat!retreat!retreat!
Lu Xiaofeng quickly backed away, and he found that he couldn't counteract this brilliant sword head-on, he could only retreat, faster than when he came, faster than when he encountered a crossbow, faster than flying copper coins, exhausted his life Only by retreating as fast as possible can you not be hurt by the sword energy.Lu Xiaofeng rowed across the yard all the way, almost running away, the hateful yard space is limited after all, behind him is a wall, a brick wall.Lu Xiaofeng didn't have the time and space to move up and down, left and right, and he was about to be stabbed.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaofeng's chest sank.Yes, his chest seemed to have no bones, and it sunk contrary to common sense, and then Lu Xiaofeng stretched out that famous consonant finger, and clamped the long sword.
As soon as his fingers touched the sword, Lu Xiaofeng understood that this person didn't mean to kill him, even though the sword was so fierce but the sword didn't have much strength, this person didn't want to kill him.Wanting to understand this point, Lu Xiaofeng became even more afraid. The sword bearer must know his own sword so well that he can use such a majestic and well-timed sword. Know what strength you should use.Changing swordplay at will, anticipating the enemy's experience in fighting the enemy is the supreme realm of martial arts, and it is already unparalleled in the world.
The sword rested on his chest, and Lu Xiaofeng felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
When the sword stopped, Lu Xiaofeng had the heart to see who the swordsman who almost killed him was.He saw a young man in white with a beard standing in front of him, holding a long sword in his hand.This personality is cold, noble and ethereal, he looks at people like a god looking down on the world, just like an emperor inspecting his subjects.For a moment, Lu Xiaofeng thought it was his good friend Ximen Chuuxue, because he had only seen Ximen Chuuxue use such a sword move.Soon Lu Xiaofeng realized that something was wrong, even though both of them were wearing white clothes, the person in front of him was even more unattainable, he was an emperor overlooking the world, a high flying fairy.
"Ye Gucheng?" Lu Xiaofeng exclaimed.
"Lu Xiaofeng." Ye Gucheng also confirmed the identity of the person in front of him. This person who can catch his full-strength sword is Lu Xiaofeng who has no colorful phoenix and two flying wings.
Lu Xiaofeng felt relieved, let go of the long sword, and Ye Gucheng retracted the sword back into its sheath.
"City Master Ye scared Lu Xiaofeng to death, and almost became a dead phoenix." Lu Xiaofeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and temples, feeling lingering fear, "Thank you City Master Ye for your mercy."
"No." Ye Gucheng said lightly: "I didn't show mercy, you know you can catch it."
Because he is Lu Xiaofeng, he is the one who can catch Ximen Chuixue's sword move, so he must be able to catch Ye Gucheng's sword.If he couldn't handle it and died, then he must not be Lu Xiaofeng.If he really died, it would not be a pity to die. Lu Xiaofeng, who couldn't catch the flying fairy, had no value in existence.
"You caught Ximen Chuuxue's sword." Ye Gucheng didn't know whether it was a statement or doubt.
"Yeah, I have acquaintance with Ximen, and he tried his sword on me."
"Very good, Ximen Chuuxue is very good..." Ximen Chuuxue is also an unparalleled swordsman, Ximen Chuuxue is the proud plum on the top of the mountain, Ye Gucheng is the leader of the swordsmen in the South China Sea, they are already standing on the top of the mountain, two Sooner or later there will be a battle between peerless swordsmen.
Lu Xiaofeng seemed to understand Ye Gucheng's implication, and quickly changed the subject. Ximen Chuixue is his friend. Although Ye Gucheng has just met, he is also a rare person. When two sharp swords collide, it is always a sword. Lu Xiaofeng I don't want to see this ending.Lu Xiaofeng heard that the palace did not dispatch troops on a large scale, thought it was because of Ye Gucheng being the master of the prince's son, and said with a smile: "Didn't the palace send anyone to arrest Lu Xiaofeng? It is really in the honor of Lord Ye."
"It has nothing to do with me." Ye Gucheng nodded lightly, turned and left.Lu Xiaofeng wanted to call him back, but someone behind him stopped him first.
"Well, Lu Xiaofeng, you really came to the palace at night."
Jin Jiuling, dressed in brocade, walked over calmly with Huamanlu. Huamanlou was not injured and moved freely.
"Jin Jiuling? Why are you here? You have already found the Pingnan Palace?" Lu Xiaofeng asked one after another. They met in a race to investigate the case, to see who could investigate the case faster. Unexpectedly, Jin Jiuling walked ahead of him.
Jin Jiuling laughed loudly, "When you come to the palace at night, don't you first ask who is the head of the palace?"
"Could it be?"
"That's right, I have officially taken over the position of the Chief of the Palace. My first task is to find out who the embroidered thief is and recover the stolen pearl." Jin Jiuling explained.
"Okay, okay, it's really the first thing to do with wine and water. I still want to get the cooperation of the palace. Since you are the manager, then take me to see the treasury." Lu Xiaofeng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You won't Deliberately don’t let me see it, so that you can win.”
"Of course not, let's go." Jin Jiuling was not such a disloyal person, and immediately dragged Lu Xiaofeng to see the treasury, and Hua Manlou followed.
As expected, the government treasury was heavily organised. Even if Jin Jiuling, the chief executive, came in person, he would have to go through several inspection procedures.Jin Jiuling took out the key from his bosom and opened the door. The lock was a thousand-machine lock. Even if Sikong Zhaixing or Zhu Ting came over, it would take a long time to unlock it, and the guards kept patrolling, so there was no chance to turn the tiger away from the mountain and unlock it alone.
Opening the gate, there is a barbed wire fence full of bells, the four walls are covered with iron plates, and above the head is the barbed wire fence that Lu Xiaofeng exposed just now.
Lu Xiaofeng did not give up and searched all around, but still found nothing, looked at Huamanlou, who also shook his head.
Helpless, the three had no choice but to leave the treasury gate first, and then plan to follow up.
"Hey, this case is really tricky, do I want to lose to you?" Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"It's not shameful to lose to me, and I haven't won yet." Jin Jiuling laughed.
"Ai, ai, ai, Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng, why are you so miserable!" Lu Xiaofeng laughed at himself loudly.
"What?" Jin Jiuling asked cooperatively.
"Traveling for thousands of miles, I found nothing. I haven't had a drink for several days, and the glutton in my stomach keeps screaming. Jin Jiuling—" Lu Xiaofeng put his hands on his shoulders, looking like two brothers, "It's your place, how about buying me a drink?"
"What's missing, it's not that you, a drunkard, are missing wine! Let's go, go to the palace wine cellar to choose, it's my fault." Jin Jiuling said proudly, he seems to have entered the palace now and can be the master of the house .
"You guys go, I don't like drinking, and this disheveled one is too rude." Hua Manlou refused. When two crime-solving experts were together, they would always talk about the case, and Hua Manlou was not interested.
"I didn't think carefully, Hua Manlou went to my yard first..."
"No need, Manager Jin will do as he pleases. I'll go find City Lord Ye. The Hua family has some business dealings with Feixian Island. Hua Manlou and City Lord Ye have some connections." Hua Manlou is a very talkative person. Well, other people only know that he is gentle and kind, and never pokes people's scars, but they don't know that he has the ability to flatter others.Jin Jiuling was full of self-satisfaction when he called the chief executive Jin. He was already the chief executive of the palace, and his rank was higher than when he was in Six Doors.
Jin Jiuling said goodbye happily, and took the alcoholic Lu Xiaofeng to choose wine.
The wine cellar of the palace is rich in wine, as soon as Lu Xiaofeng came in, he was like a mouse that fell into a rice vat, he couldn't think of it, he immediately opened a mud seal and drank freely.
"Good wine!" Lu Xiaofeng started to observe the wine cellar after he was addicted to alcohol, the jars were neatly arranged under the dim light, and some of the jars still had mildew spots.Lu Xiaofeng looked around and asked, "Is the wine cellar next to the treasury?"
Jin Jiuling knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, I checked it a long time ago, the wine cellar is not connected to the treasury, there is no trace of excavation, and there are iron plates on the floor of the treasury, it is really an iron room. I did it too. How could you not have noticed this after years of being a fast catcher?"
Lu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, yes, after many years of arresting, I don't know how many cases of secret room murder and secret room theft, how can he be inexperienced, Jin Jiuling must know something?Why not tell yourself, just because you want to win him?
Lu Xiaofeng touched his mustache in embarrassment, as if he was embarrassed by someone, and said with a smile: "I'm overthinking."
Lu Xiaofeng selected several altars of good wine and sent them to the inn.After a busy night without any gains, Lu Xiaofeng was a little depressed and asked Huamanlou to go shopping at the night market.Hua Manlou also changed out of her outer robe, and only wore a brocade gown with a jade belt around her waist and a folding fan in her hand. She was so personable that all her daughters looked straight at her along the way.
Lu Xiaofeng took the flowers thrown by the woman on the side of the road, and said with a smile, "This Fujian woman is really bold."
Huamanlou ignored him and said, "The West Garden is really prosperous."
"This West Garden is specially used for the night market, so it's naturally bustling and lively." But in the bustling night market, there are also cool places, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were walking, and they came to an alley away from the street.The night lights flickered in the wind, and an old voice came from afar: "Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, fragrant and sweet stir-fried chestnuts with sugar."
The visitor approached slowly, and under the light, it turned out to be an old woman with gray hair and hunched back, as if her spine had been bent by the hardships of life.It's so pitiful to make a living selling sugar-fried chestnuts in the night breeze at such an old age.
Lu Xiaofeng is also a person who respects the old, loves the young and pities the poor, so he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Mother-in-law, how do you sell candied chestnuts?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, twenty yuan a catty, my stir-fried chestnuts are delicious and sweet, sir, come and order some." The old lady is an honest person, and her boasting words are "sweet and fragrant" over and over again.
"Give me a catty." Lu Xiaofeng smiled.
The mother-in-law put the basket on the ground, took out a paper bag and put it in a catty for Lu Xiaofeng.Lu Xiaofeng took out a piece of silver and handed it to the mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law shy away and refused, saying: "I can't do it, I can't do it, the old lady can't find it, I can't find it."
"Then send it to mother-in-law."
"No matter what, it's enough to buy a few baskets of chestnuts." The old woman was still very sorry, it was already a rare kind person to take care of her business at night, how could she ask for more money.
The more the old woman refused, the more persistent Lu Xiaofeng became, and finally put the money in the basket and left gracefully.
Lu Xiaofeng held up the sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand and said to Huamanlou: "Here is one."
Hua Manlou took one from the paper bag, and the old woman behind slowly straightened her waist, the corners of her lips curled up, she was about to see the tragic death of two young people, it was really happy.
At the moment when Hua Manlou was about to put the chestnut in his mouth, a golden pill suddenly flew over and knocked down the chestnut.
"Who?" It wasn't just Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou who asked, the old woman behind them also asked sharply.
Yan Lide walked out of the shadows with Zhu Houzhao, Lu Xiaofeng called out: "Brother Yan?" Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou immediately realized that the old woman had a problem, put aside the chestnuts, and waited for it.
"I'm not here for you this time, Lu Xiaofeng, I'm here for Gongsun Lan."
"Waste, what a good chestnut, one can poison several people to death, it's a pity to just throw it away like this!" The old woman, or Gongsun Lan no longer pretended, and recovered her clear and sweet female voice, no matter how beautiful the voice was , can't stop her malice.
"Gongsun Lan, you're going to be arrested before you put your hands up!" Yan Lide shouted, pushing Zhu Houzhao to Huamanlou's side.
Gongsun Lan's answer was to remove the two swords tied with streamers from the basket. Yan Lide had no liking for Gongsun Lan and attacked first.
Gongsunlan is said to have been inherited from Aunt Gongsun in the Tang Dynasty, so she also has a name called Aunt Gongsun.In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who moved all directions with her sword dance.The old and ugly old woman danced the twin swords tied with streamers, dazzlingly dazzling, glamorous and glamorous, and there was a murderous intent in this beauty.
"Gongsun Lan's martial arts are surprisingly high, I just didn't see that brother Yan is also so strong in martial arts." Lu Xiaofeng commented, when Yan Lide blocked Ximen Chuuxue's sword light with his sword at the water pavilion of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, Lu Xiaofeng knew his martial arts Not low, I didn't expect to underestimate him.Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou stood beside Zhu Houzhao to protect Zhu Houzhao so that Yan Lide would not be distracted from fighting Gongsun Lan.
"Brother Yan is indeed very strong in martial arts." Hua Manlou nodded in agreement. At their level of martial arts, it seems that only martial arts and swordsmanship can be described, but only those who have fought against each other know how high and strong they are.
Now Gongsun Lan knows it. I thought she was an unknown person, but I didn't expect her martial arts to be slightly better than her. As an old monster, Gongsun Lan took good care of her to make her look like a girl, but she is actually not young. She has experience in fighting the enemy. Rich, fierce moves, and excellent psychological quality, even so, he failed to win Yan Lide.The longer the fight, the more Gongsun Lan found herself struggling. Now she no longer wanted to kill the enemy with a sword, but was desperately looking for loopholes, hoping to escape.
Gongsun Lan found it soon, or Yan Lide never concealed it.Gongsun Lan quickly threw the plum blossom dart with her left hand, and went straight to Zhu Houzhao's face. The edge of the plum blossom dart flashed blue, which was obviously poisonous.
Yan Lide became ruthless and slashed at Gongsun Lan's left arm with a sword. If he dared to make a move, Yan Lide chopped off her hand.After all, Gongsun Lan is an old Jianghu, who cut off her tail to survive, desperately injured her left arm, and then attacked with a hidden weapon, forcing Yan Lide back, and took the opportunity to escape.
Yan Lide didn't go after him, but vented his internal strength with his backhand, wrapped the soft sword back around his waist, and the soft sword became a belt decoration again, Yan Lide regained the image of Mr. Pian Pianjia.Yan Lide approached Zhu Houzhao, and asked with concern, "Is there any injury?"
"No, cousin, don't treat me like a child, I know martial arts, and besides, there are Huamanlou." Zhu Houzhao was not happy, and said that he should not be too respectful to him, so as not to be misunderstood.
"Yeah, brother Yan, you're too nervous." Lu Xiaofeng laughed and changed the subject.This back street was too deserted, Hua Manlou led the way, and the four of them returned to the bustling main street, Lu Xiaofeng tentatively asked, "Brother Yan, are you here to visit the night market too?"
"No, the Lord is here to block Gongsun Lan." Yan Lide didn't hide anything, and said, "You know who she is."
"who is it?"
"Nvtu, Peach Blossom Bee, Lady of the Five Poisons, Mother-in-law, and Grandma Xiong are all her nicknames. The one who came out today must be Grandma Xiong."
"Aunt Gongsun?"
"Of course it's her. Didn't you notice just now that the old and ugly old woman is wearing a pair of red shoes that even a newlywed thinks they are gorgeous? Red shoes with owls embroidered on them." Yan Lide answered Lu Xiaofeng's question, and then turned to Huamanlou. : "Back when you said that a girl who smoked gold and jade incense passed by our carriage, I said that it had nothing to do with us, but now I know I was wrong."
"It was Gongsun Lan that day?" Hua Manlou asked in surprise, he never thought that the person he met on the road was actually Gongsun Lan.If he knew it was Gongsun Lan from the beginning, Yan Lide wondered if he would have the patience to wait for her to kill herself.
"I don't know if she was wearing red shoes that day."
"It's red shoes again, brother Yan, do you know something?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, since Yan Lide doesn't deal with red shoes, then he should be friends with him.
"Lu Xiaofeng, this is your case. You have a bet with Jin Jiuling, ask me, it's invincible." Yan Lide refused.
Lu Xiaofeng wondered in his heart what Yan Lide's purpose was, and from what he said, he knew everything about the red shoes, but he didn't want to tell him.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't ask any more questions, the four of them went together, bought a lot of snacks, lanterns, bells and other small things at the night market, and went back happily.
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou went back to the inn, and found that Xue Bing hadn't come yet, Hua Manlou suggested: "Go out and look for it."
"No, I'll ask the Snake King to watch for me." Jin Jiuling and Yan Lide gave him great doubts and pressure today, Lu Xiaofeng's mind is very confused now, and he doesn't want to ask about Xue Bing.
Hua Manlou sighed, remained silent, and went back to his room to rest.
It was not so easy for Yan Lide to fall asleep, and Zhu Houzhao said dissatisfiedly, "Why didn't you kill Gongsun Lan."
"Gongsun Lan's martial arts are well known, are you sure I can kill her? You don't know martial arts."
"I'm not good at martial arts, but I know that if you want to kill her, you won't let her go! Why?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that Yan Lide intended to let her go.
"Cousin, I really hope you can still be so firm when you see Gongsun Lan's true face. Gongsun Lan is a stunning beauty." Yan Lide shook his head and said: "In the past, her ancestor, Aunt Gongsun in the Tang Dynasty, played a sword It is because of her that we are fortunate to see a wonderful volume of Danqing by Zhang Xu, the sage of grass, and to read a generous and sad "Sword Walk" by Du Fu, the sage of poetry. Even Wu Daozi, the sage of painting, I also experienced the way of using a brush by watching Aunt Gongsun dance with a sword. What kind of person should Aunt Gongsun be if she achieved the way of the Three Saints by one person. Gongsun Lan did not inherit the strength of her ancestors, but her martial arts have been passed down. She has an old face and old clothes, but with two swords in hand, she exudes a dazzling brilliance."
"Don't say that this is just a female devil who kills without blinking an eye. Even when her ancestors entered the palace to perform, they also replaced the double swords with wooden swords tied with colored silk. What a pity." Zhu Houde said indifferently: "Don't change the subject, you Why let her go?"
Well, forget that in front of you is His Highness the Crown Prince who is below one person and above ten thousand people, he only wants what he wants.
"For the Embroidery Thief. Aunt Gongsun is the key person to find out the Embroidery Thief. If I kill Gongsun Aunt, it's time to let the real murderer Embroidery Thief go unpunished. Cousin, don't worry, it will only take a few days before she dies sooner or later. Now that the people in the house are all together, how about giving her a one-pot meal to vent my anger on my cousin?"
"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Houzhao refused to admit it.
"Naturally, naturally, my cousin is only worried about the country and the people, calling for grievances for the innocent people, Gongsun Lan kills for fun, and everyone gets to punish him." Yan Lide has never changed his words, he has always been good at "telling the truth".
Never underestimate the protagonist's halo, Lu Xiaofeng found a clue, and he could track it down to the end.Lu Xiaofeng soon found out about Jiang Qingxia's past. After becoming a monk as Jiang Chongwei's younger sister, Jiang Qingxia was not a Buddhist who kept her own law.Being able to rank alongside Xue Bing as one of the Four Great Tigresses in Jianghu, Jiang Qingxia is also a well-known figure.Jiang Qingxia once gave birth to a child, but unfortunately the child died young, so she bought those red cloths with the warp and weft reversed, and embroidered black peonies to pay homage to her son.If you want to have a son, you must first have a man, a man who can make Jiang Qingxia willing to give birth to him, this man is the key to cracking the case of the embroidered robber.
Lu Xiaofeng followed Jiang Qingxia and found the red shoes, they will have a party soon, this is Lu Xiaofeng's opportunity to test.
Before Lu Xiaofeng could make more progress with Jiang Qingxia, the Snake King sent a message saying: "Xue Bing is missing."
How did Xue Bing disappear?According to the Snake King, he sent people to follow Xue Bing closely to prevent her from being left alone, and he also told his friends on the road that he would never hurt her.Xue Bing himself also has martial arts, so it is impossible for him to disappear for no reason.
When Jin Jiuling heard the news, he volunteered to help find someone. He also invited the local headhunter Lu Xing to join them. They found the courtyard where Xue Bing last appeared and entered the courtyard to investigate.
Jin Jiuling worked in the Gongmen for half his life, and many of the headhunters and fast arresters were his disciples and grandchildren, and they enjoyed a lot in Fujian. As a local leader, Lu Xing was very willing to help Jin Jiuling.
The three of them went to investigate together. According to the landlord, the house had been rented out for a year, and no one lived in it all year round. There were only occasional people coming and going, and they came and went in a hurry. The experienced three immediately realized that this was a stronghold.Lu Xiaofeng and others went in to investigate carefully, and found Xue Bing's head flower in a room similar to a boudoir.
Lu Xiaofeng opened the closet in the room, looked at the clothes of different styles and exquisite fabrics, and the various headgear on the dressing table, and asked Jin Jiuling: "What do you think is missing here?"
"What?" Jin Jiuling asked.
"There are beautiful clothes, beautiful jewelry, rouge, gouache, mirror and comb, but the shoes are missing. How can a woman who loves beauty not have replacement shoes, unless..."
"Unless she only wears red shoes!" Jin Jiuling and Lu Xiaofeng said in unison.
He got involved with the red shoes again, Lu Xiaofeng really has no patience for the red shoes, Xue Bing is his confidante, Lu Xiaofeng is willing to go through life and death for her.
"Eh?" Lu Xiaofeng suddenly cried out in surprise, took out a box with intricate carvings from the closet, and said, "What is this?"
The foolish and bold Lu Xiaofeng opened it directly, but Jin Jiuling quickly knocked over the box and stood in front of him.
There was a puff of smoke coming out of the box, and Jin Jiuling was the first to be caught in the poisonous smoke.
Lu Xing quickly supported the limp Jin Jiuling, and said, "Hero Lu, I'll take him to the clinic."
Lu Xiaofeng felt the pulse and let Lu Xing take Jin Jiuling away without any fear of life. After they left, Lu Xiaofeng played with the opened box and looked suspiciously at the direction Jin Jiuling was leaving.
Don't think too much, at least there is no doubt that Xue Bing's disappearance is related to the red shoes, just inquired at Jiang Qingxia's place and found out that the party organized by the red shoes was about to start again, Lu Xiaofeng took the opportunity to sneak in.The leaders of the red shoes are having a meeting in the house, and Lu Xiaofeng hides in the big tree outside the house, trying to find Xue Bing's whereabouts.
The people sitting in the room all wore a pair of bright red shoes. Many of them are well-known, such as Jiang Qingxia, one of the four great tigresses in Jianghu, and Ouyang Qing, a famous prostitute. Of course, the most famous one is Aunt Gongsun sitting at the top.
They were taking stock of this month's income. Erniang took out a few scalps, saying that they were scalps from a heartless man; Bank notes, this is the proceeds of the brothel, and they are all contributed by lustful men... There are so many, and so on.
In the end, Aunt Gongsun asked Jiang Qingxia: "Your income has decreased a lot this month, what's the matter?"
"Lu Xiaofeng was chasing down the embroidery thief. For some reason, he came to my place and disturbed the business." Jiang Qingxia confidently pushed the blame on Lu Xiaofeng.
"Forget it, this month's income is not good, wait until next month, big sister, don't be angry. Didn't big sister say that there is a new sister to introduce to us? Why don't you see it?" Ouyang Qing saw that there was going to be a conflict between the sisters, so she was gentle and coquettish Change the subject.
"Yes, the new sister has passed my test. I was introduced to you today, but she suddenly disappeared. I am also looking for her."
"Oh, I'm going to be jealous of the new sister who can make the eldest sister bother so much." Ouyang Qing asked enchantingly.
"Xue Bing."
"Xue Bing of Shenzhen Villa, one of the four great tigresses in Jianghu."
"Exactly!" Gongsun Lan replied with a nod, while speaking, she flew out a plum blossom dart and hit the big tree outside the window. She had already found someone lurking in that tree.The seven red-shoe sisters in the room untied their weapons unanimously, and must not let anyone who heard the inside information about the red-shoes leave alive.
Lu Xiaofeng jumped down from the tree, fled far away, looked at Gongsun Lan for the rest of his life, and said, "Mrs. Gongsun, you said you didn't know Xue Bing's whereabouts. I don't believe it. When she left, she was wearing red clothes on her feet." shoe."
The author has something to say: catching bugs, those who are interested can read it again.
I was locked again because "the body has no colorful phoenix and double flying wings". Shuangfei is a sensitive word, and I am also convinced!
