[Lu Xiaofeng Sword III] The Emei faction is playing a big game of chess

The scream came very suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng quickly turned around, and saw a woman standing beside the young man just now, and she was the one who made the scream.

* The soup flowed down her hair, and the cloudy liquid made the makeup on her face smudged.The beef slices were messily sprinkled on her clothes, and they were still steaming, making her extremely embarrassed.There were pieces of dishes under her feet, and it was self-evident what happened just now.

Seeing her like this, the people in the room not only had no sympathy, but laughed out loud.The round-faced girl was standing in the middle of the room crying, but the young man didn't even look at her coldly, and the laughter around her made her pitiful and embarrassed.

Just as Lu Xiaofeng saw two strong men with drunken faces walking over, he seemed to want to fight the injustice, and thought in his heart that things were going to get worse, when a cold voice suddenly came from behind, "You were like this when you were young?"

Lu Xiaofeng froze, then turned around with a wry smile, "Of course I wouldn't be like this when I was young."

Ma Xiuzhen snorted coldly.The two big men who went up to "see the injustice" have been thrown out by the youth, and the girl standing in the center is still crying.

Lu Xiaofeng saw Ma Xiuzhen frowning at her, but didn't make a sound.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I thought you would complain about that girl."

Ma Xiuzhen just gave him a cold look, "She found it by herself just now." She paused, and said calmly, "Everyone has their own way of life."

Compared with the other sisters of the Emei School, Ma Xiuzhen has always been the calmest, even cold.Independent, strong, calm, not like a girl.Everyone who met her said so, Ma Xiuzhen is not like a girl, or it should be said that she is not like a girl in the general sense, because you never see her relying on others.She is like a thorny flower living tenaciously in the mountains, so strong and independent that it makes people feel distressed.

Lu Xiaofeng frowned slightly, but didn't say much.He has always thought that a girl who can rely on others is very cute, but a girl who is not dependent on others makes people feel distressed.Therefore, although he did have some thoughts when he first met Ma Xiuzhen, but after he really understood her character, he never overstepped it.Because he knew that she was different from the girls he knew before, he thought he couldn't give her a stable happiness, so he didn't want to provoke her, even though he knew that she actually liked him.

On the other side of the room, the girl with big breasts was still crying, and the dark-faced boy sitting at the table was still cold-faced.Lu Xiaofeng didn't have the intention to intervene, although he was very interested in them before, but now, he is not alone, Ma Xiuzhen is still by his side, so he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Looking around, Lu Xiaofeng lowered his eyes slightly, let go of the cup in his hand, and stood up, "Xiuzhen, let's go back to the room."

Ma Xiuzhen was a little puzzled, she thought that Lu Xiaofeng would stay here for a while longer.Although she doesn't like the environment here very much, she knows that Lu Xiaofeng actually enjoys it quite a lot.Seeing that he suddenly said that he wanted to leave at this moment, although Ma Xiuzhen was a little surprised, she didn't say anything, picked up the two swords on the table and followed him away.

They left early, so naturally they didn't see the scene where the dark boy was assassinated by a row of arrows from nine schools flying out of the window again.Because of Ma Xiuzhen's presence, the room she booked here as a girl was naturally cleaner, but Lu Xiaofeng was worried, and the room she booked was next to her.So despite all that happened that night, they slept soundly.

And thousands of miles away, because of Lu Xiaofeng's sudden disappearance, some people are living very badly.

Eagle Eye Seventh had already gone down the mountain.Although Ye Zhiran had no way to contact Lu Xiaofeng right now, she assured Eagle Eye Seventh that she would do her best to help find him.With her current status as the head of the Emei School and the wife of the Lord of Baiyun City (although she does not admit it herself ╮(╯_╰)╭), this guarantee is still very reliable.So Eagle Eye Seventh went down the mountain to investigate other matters.

From the moon to the mid-heaven, the silver moonlight sprinkled all over the place.At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the night wind carried some chills of late spring.The branches of the crabapple tree in the courtyard sway gently in the wind, and it rains flowers from time to time, and the light fragrance of flowers gradually diffuses in the courtyard.It's another year of crabapple flowering.

"Are you going down the mountain tomorrow?"

Ye Zhiran was standing in the courtyard looking at the crabapple trees in the night, wondering what she was thinking, when she heard a cold voice behind her.She turned her head and saw City Master Ye walking slowly from the gate of the courtyard.Under the moonlight, the sword fairy dressed in white was even more cold and indifferent, not like a mortal.

Ye Zhiran was stunned, unknowingly, Ye Gucheng had lived in Mount Emei for nearly half a year.Not only her, almost even the people of the Emei Sect have almost gotten used to his presence.Sometimes she would like to ask, is it really okay for you to be away from Baiyun City all year round, Lord City Master?

But in the end I still didn't ask... I don't know why I always feel like I'll lose if I ask. ==

Ye Zhiran nodded silently.Then she heard the voice that seemed to be the same as before, but made her inexplicably shudder, and said calmly, "Looking for Lu Xiaofeng?"

"Eh..." Ye Zhiran's mouth twitched, she turned around and tried to reason, "That...he will be very dangerous this time."

Ye Gucheng still looked down at her lightly.

"Of course I don't care about him alone, but this time my senior sister is with him, I don't feel at ease. And this time it also involves Prince Taiping, that pervert...you understand."

Ye Gucheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know he is Prince Taiping's son?"

"Ah."

"When?"

Ye Zhiran's expression suddenly faded, "The night you died."

The next morning, when Lu Xiaofeng got up, it was still dark.It wasn't because he got up too early, but it was a cloudy and rainy day, and the whole sky was dark and gloomy.

Is it possible to go to sea in such weather?But the old fox said yes.The goods have been loaded and can go to sea tomorrow morning.

Although Lu Xiaofeng was deeply skeptical, but the old fox was an old boatman who spent most of his life on the sea and almost regarded the sea as his home, so what he said was somewhat believable.Of course, what he believed in was not his character, but the cargo on the ship.If there was any loss of that batch of goods due to the storm at sea, the old fox would definitely feel distressed to death.

So, he followed the old fox out to sea without any doubt.For Lu Xiaofeng, this was just a very ordinary trip to the sea, he never expected to encounter any dangers or accidents.It's as if he never thought that Ma Xiuzhen, who is a senior sister of the Emei School, has strong martial arts and excellent swordsmanship, but is ranked among the top ten young people in the world, would actually get seasick.

"Xiuzhen, are you okay?" Lu Xiaofeng put the medicine bowl in his hand aside, the black liquid medicine was hanging on the rough wall of the bowl, and there was a strange smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air.

The person who had just poured a bowl of bitter medicine on the bed covered her chest with one hand, and looked up at him upon hearing this, her pale face without a trace of blood showed that she was very bad.Even Lu Xiaofeng felt that if Ma Xiuzhen hadn't run out of strength, she would have stared at him when she raised her head to look at him just now.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his hands uncomfortably and coughed twice, "That...do you want this?"

Ma Xiuzhen looked up, and saw two rows of preserved fruits neatly placed in the open wooden box in the hands of the man in Tsing Yi.Amber color with a soft shimmer, the color of honey.

"...how did you have this?"

"I found it at the old fox's place. He said it's sour and sweet, it can stop vomiting." Lu Xiaofeng passed the wooden box containing the preserved fruit forward.

With fair and slender fingers, she picked up a piece of candied fruit from the wooden box and put it in front of her eyes. Ma Xiuzhen narrowed her eyes slightly.The honey-colored preserved fruit has a soft glow in the dim light of the room, like a transparent amber.

"When I was young, my junior sister was sick and refused to take medicine, so I coaxed her with preserved fruit.

"Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng raised the hem of his clothes with one hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said with a smile, "But Zhiran doesn't seem to like taking medicine until now."

"So every year, I make several large jars of preserved fruit for her and put them in the backyard of her room for her, in case she accidentally gets sick and refuses to take medicine. She has already eaten it."

When Ma Xiuzhen mentioned her little junior sister, the corners of Ma Xiuzhen's lips curled up softly, and the breath around her became gentler.

"Uh, you still do this?" Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback.

Ma Xiuzhen glanced at him indifferently, "Back then Junior Sister and Xiuyun both liked to eat, so I learned how to cook."

... I really can't see it, Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched as if he suddenly remembered something, "But, you can learn to do this, maybe it's because Zhiran can't learn it by herself."

Ma Xiuzhen, who thought of the same thing as him, raised the corners of her lips, and a little smile appeared in her eyes, and she remembered that the little junior sister was standing in front of the ruins after burning the kitchen in the back mountain three times in succession. Staring at the pile of charcoal with an expressionless face, it seemed that even his eyes showed a look of death.

"Little Junior Sister, she really, um, she really didn't learn..."

A smile appeared on Ma Xiuzhen's lips. In fact, she also didn't understand that her little junior sister was extremely smart since she was a child.The only thing that she could do was to cook, but she would never learn it.

"Elder Sister, you don't understand... I can't even cook, so I won't be unable to get married in the future." The little junior sister stood in front of the ruins of the kitchen holding the two swords of Ganjiang Moye, her white and tender face still had a smile on her face. A touch of blackness that has not been erased, and the image of looking at himself with tears seems to appear in front of his eyes again.

"Cough...then, Xiuzhen, can you cook?" Lu Xiaofeng asked casually as if remembering something.

The smile on the corner of Ma Xiuzhen's lips paused, she raised her head to look at Lu Xiaofeng, her dark eyes met him for a few seconds, then she turned her head away, "Yes."

She didn't speak anymore, Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent for a while.Ma Xiuzhen tilted her head slightly, her long black hair was loose and loose, without the restraint of a hair band, it was a little messy.She was wearing a white coat casually, and her whole body had a pale color, which collided with the thick ink color scattered around her cheeks, which was quite shocking.Lu Xiaofeng shifted his gaze a little uncomfortably, and his eyes fell on her right hand which was placed on the quilt.Fair and slender, with slender knuckles, this is a pair of hands holding a sword, but at this moment, these hands are so white that there is no blood at all.The light blue meridians meandered on the back of her hand, and a pale wrist was exposed under the wide cuff, which was so slender that it could be broken with one hand.

The long hair was loose, and the eyebrows were slightly frowned. The girl in white leaning on the bed gave off a delicate feeling.This made Lu Xiaofeng feel a little uncomfortable, even a little helpless.It's not that he hasn't seen slender girls. For a vagabond, there is no girl in this world that he hasn't coaxed before.However, when the girl in front of him was Ma Xiuzhen, who was as weak and slender as water, Lu Xiaofeng, who had always been good at coaxing women, felt a little embarrassed and at a loss.

In order to alleviate this strange emotion, Lu Xiaofeng raised his hand to his lips and coughed twice, casually put the wooden box in his hand on the wooden table beside him, stood up, "Well... Xiuzhen, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go See what's in the kitchen."

Ma Xiuzhen raised her head, and looked at the back of the man in Tsing Yi who left quickly with a trace of embarrassment, inexplicably, there was a sense of fleeing.Gently leaning back on the bed, Ma Xiuzhen put the candied fruit she had just squeezed into her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste spread between her lips and teeth, but what came up faster than this was a bitter, bitter feeling.Ma Xiuzhen lowered her eyes slightly, junior sister, even if the senior sister has learned to cook, it seems that she still can't get married, what should I do?
