Chapter 104 The Covenant
Chapter 104 The Covenant
Lu Xiaofeng brought Li Li back to the county government office, Hua Manlou and Wu Changchongxi were already there.And that Zhang Zhixian who didn't know that his master was dead so far, was still wiping sweat in the hall.This person, pretending to be honest sometimes becomes really addictive, and even forgets that he was originally a cunning and cunning attribute.
"Heh, leave Hua Xiaoqi alone and bring a wild guy back, you're quite capable." Seeing Lu Xiaofeng enter, the first person to speak was Wu Chang who was sitting on the red sandalwood table.
Lu Xiaofeng didn't bother to talk to him, his words were vulgar and deliberately provocative, it was embarrassing.
"Which one is the Seventh Young Master of the Jiangnan Flower Family?" Li Li didn't notice anything, and started to ask directly past Lu Xiaofeng.
Hua Manlou stood up when he heard the sound, and clasped his fists in the direction of Li Li: "I have admired the king's name for a long time, and he is indeed a hero among men." Lu Xiaofeng stood aside and scratched his nose—it's enough to be polite, what are you boasting, a It's just a rough guy with five big and three rough.
"Can you see it?" Li Li asked outrightly.
Naturally, Hua Manlou was not annoyed, and smiled lightly: "I can't see it, but I can hear it. King Pingding speaks with a lot of air and candor, and Hua's praise of a hero is even worse than that."
"Okay!" Li Li nodded approvingly, "It seems that there are still fresh and refined people in the world of Ming Dynasty, not bad, not bad."
"..." Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were shocked by his fresh and refined four characters, thinking how good their Chinese is, they really need to practice more.
Wu Chang, who was ignored on the other side, silently broke off a corner of the table and rubbed it in his hands to relieve his breath. Fine dust fell from between his fingers, and sprinkled a semicircle with smooth lines on the ground.Li Li glanced at this side, but he didn't dare to speak, he just signaled Lu Xiaofeng with his eyes—whether he wants to say hello or not, these two seem not to be trifled with, although I am not afraid of trouble, I don't want to create hatred either.
"Piaowu and the others have sent a letter, and the officials sent by the imperial court to Guangxi should arrive the day after tomorrow." Hua Manlou signaled to Lu Xiaofeng, "Let King Pingding go down and have a good rest. If there is anything else, we can talk about it when they come."
Lu Xiaofeng knew what Huamanlou meant, and it was best to have a deal with King Ding when court officials were present, since it involved political affairs after all.But as soon as he saw Li Li, the latter raised his hand consciously: "This king is also thinking about finding a place to take a hot bath, but there is a problem before leaving-the three you sent to Nanning first , don’t you need to inform? If there is any conflict with my subordinates at that time, I can’t guarantee that no one will be hurt.”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled calmly: "Don't worry, if King Pingding's subordinates can hurt them, they will probably commit suicide to thank the world, so we don't need to worry about it."
When Li Li's eagle eyes mentioned it, it was interesting, and he actually missed three fresh and refined ones.
......
In fact, there are not only three, but two more!
Leaving King Pingding, who was going back to take a bath, not to say anything, Lu Xiaofeng cast a look at Zhang Zhixian, who was standing on one side with his head bowed.Now he didn't wipe his sweat anymore, he hid his hands in his sleeves and lowered his eyebrows pleasingly, it seemed that he was not thinking of anything good.
Ever since Lu Xiaofeng brought Li Li in, he has become like this.That's right, the general trend is gone.
"Master Zhang County?" Lu Xiaofeng called him.
Zhang Zhixian paused before raising his head, trying to force a smile: "Daxia Lu was able to catch that thief Li Li back. He really did a great service for the court. The Holy Majesty knows that he will definitely reward him with great rewards!"
"..." Both Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were speechless, how thick-skinned they had to be to pretend at this point.
"All right, all right, tie it up quickly, it's an eyesore!" The first person who couldn't bear it was Wu Chang, after playing at a corner of the table, he clapped the sawdust on his hands, and with a twitch of his chin, Chongxi moved.
Zhang Zhixian really threw out two Wuling darts from his sleeves, the blue light was faint, it was the style of the Demon Cult.
But this time obviously there was no need for Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou to do anything, Chong Xi waved his hand, and the two darts ended up in the same situation as the corner of the table, and Zhang Zhixian's neck was pinched by Chong Xi before he could move. Throwing it out and hitting the ground heavily, he lay on his stomach and couldn't get up again.
The whole process only took two or three seconds. Lu Xiaofeng touched his neck and clicked his tongue lightly——really ruthless.
Wu Chang glanced at Chongxi who had returned to him with disgust, glanced at his hand, and muttered softly: "Touching dirty things again."
Chongxi didn't say anything, and immediately picked up the teapot on the side and washed his hands with the tea bowl.
......
Lu Xiaofeng felt as if he had read it wrong - the tea was still steaming, even if it wasn't hot, it was still tea, well, it felt inferior... He couldn't help but look at the flowers The floor is full, and I want to ask him when he will come back, whether he is hungry, whether he has had dinner, etc. A lot of questions.
But before he could ask, Hua Manlou had already opened his mouth: "Since King Pingding came back with you, it means that our previous guess was correct. Lock up Zhangzhi County first, and I will write back to the capital right away. Fortunately, Sikong stayed behind." Shen Falcon, news should come and go soon, we can also leave for Nanning first."
Wu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, "We're not going to Nanning."
Hua Manlou was not surprised, and asked him in the same tone, "Why?"
"Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng are both here. If they can't even control the situation in Nanning, then they will really commit suicide and thank the world. What's more, you also said that the news will be sent back to the capital soon. For Zhu Gui, Ai Chi is dead anyway, and the Demon Cult is disbanded, so it is no longer a matter of Jiang Hu." Lu Xiaofeng said with reason and evidence.
"But the people in gray robes...?" Hua Manlou was thinking about those people who were as invisible as silverfish but doing bad things everywhere.It should be them who are making trouble in Nanning now.
"They want to provoke a war between Annan and the court, so they are the court's sinners, and Zhu Gui should take care of them." Lu Xiaofeng made up his mind not to go to Nanning.
"Are you willing to leave it alone?" Hua Manlou asked him.
"I'm even more reluctant to miss your birthday." Lu Xiaofeng said very smoothly.
Hua Manlou froze, her ears turned red slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, she opened the fan in her hand and shook it covertly, but said nothing.
Wu Chang raised his eyebrows, Chong Xi glanced at Lu Xiaofeng silently.
"When the people sent by the imperial court arrive, let them and Li Li go back to settle the rest of the matter, and I will accompany you back to Peach Blossom Castle." Lu Xiaofeng was very satisfied with Hua Manlou's reaction, and continued to lean closer to him, continuing, "Your father I sent someone to pass the news before, and I have asked An Feng to reply, and we will go back on time."
Hua Manlou looked outside the flower hall, and the dark wind guarding the wall trembled——Master, I was wrong, but my subordinates have to listen to the words of the aunt-in-law!
Wu Chang finally stopped being dumb, and said leisurely: "Since your matter is settled now, should you pay back the little bug?"
Lu Xiaofeng gave him a second look after he came in: "Return?"
Wu Chang blew on the broken hair falling in front of his eyes, and nodded.
"Zhu Mo Dao is a product of Zang Mizhuo and Mu Zhuo, and then it is a product of An Nan Kingdom. Why should I return it to you?" Although Li Li didn't know the relationship between Zang Mu and An Nan, Lu Xiaofeng said this. Really good.
Wu Chang didn't expect that he would grasp this point, and stared and said, "I took you to catch it!" It sounded like taking a child to play, although the destination was someone else's grave.
"I don't mind half of one person." Lu Xiaofeng patted the box in his hand, the Zhu Mo Dao had returned to its original shape, a pancake was lying on the bottom of the box, unaware that he might be cut in half soon.
"This little thing is the only one left!" Wu Chang seemed to be frightened by Lu Xiaofeng's proposal—how could he be so cruel!
"So what, I don't need it." Lu Xiaofeng said truthfully.
"You..." Wu Chang seemed to be pissed off by him, pointing at him with trembling slender fingers, his chest heaving and falling, and for the first time, there was some intense excitement in his sky-like eyes that could hold everything. mood.
"No rules, sorry."
Chongxi took a step forward, stared at Lu Xiaofeng, said a few words with an anger that could not be ignored, this was the first time he spoke to Lu Xiaofeng like this.
Lu Xiaofeng was startled for a moment, pursed his lips, and did not speak.
Wu Chang lowered his head at some point, his expression was hidden under the ragged and broken hair, and he was dizzy in a shadow, unable to distinguish clearly, but there was a faint lonely and sad breath exuding.
The scene suddenly cooled down.
"Since you don't want to be hurt by his words, why do you want to hurt him?"
Hua Manlou, who had been listening to them carefully all this time, suddenly spoke, and his eyes were falling on Wu Chang who was bowing his head. Although the eyes did not fluctuate at all, one could still feel the clarity and firmness of those eyes.
"What do you know as a little doll?" Wu Chang raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as those quenched by the evening glow, desperate and unwilling.
"I don't need to know too much, all I know is that you shouldn't have the slightest intention of deceiving and taking advantage of the person you love, and you shouldn't embarrass the person who wants him to live happily in the name of his good." Hua Hua Man Lou was not afraid at all, and answered frankly.
The broken hair in front of Wu Chang's forehead suddenly flew up, and what followed was as continuous as the palm wind pressing on the top of the vast sea:
"The kid is ignorant, dare to teach me a lesson!"
Lu Xiaofeng didn't have time to think about it, he had already pushed forward and blocked Hua Manlou behind him, Hua Manlou grabbed his shoulders to stop him, the two of them were at a stalemate for a while, Wu Chang's palm had already landed in front of him.
But it stopped suddenly.
"Hahaha!" A shrill and melancholy laugh sounded in the hall, like weeping blood.
"Okay, okay." Wu Chang withdrew his palm, took a step back, stared at the two of them, with a mocking smile on his lips, "I am willing to lay down my life for each other today, and I will see if you will end up in the same way when the day falls apart. ?”
Lu Xiaofeng held Hua Manlou's hand supporting his shoulder, and looked directly at Wu Chang who was slightly insane: "The same fate as you?"
The light in Wu Chang's eyes sharpened suddenly, and then disappeared in an instant, turning into the lightness of the sky again.
"I'm not you, so don't put your tragedy on me. If you come here with good intentions, or want me to help you, just say it. But if you have other intentions, sorry, my life I make my own decisions, everyone should be safe." Lu Xiaofeng rarely looked serious, "You two have too many secrets, although Lu Xiaofeng likes to solve puzzles, but he is not obsessed with solving puzzles, so no matter how mysterious you are, It doesn't interest me either."
It's just his status, Lu Xiaofeng has been raised by nature for so many years, so what's the matter if someone tells him about his life experience?
For him now, it is enough to have someone he likes and a life he likes.
Wu Chang smiled lightly, as if he didn't take his words to heart, he just looked past him, met Hua Manlou behind him, and asked lightly:
"What if this secret is related to his eyes?"
......
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou tightened their hands at the same time.
"Ten days later, bring the Longevity Pearl and Zhu Mo Dao to Beichuan Yiliu Valley." Wu Chang resumed his previous cynicism, as if he was not the one who suddenly made trouble earlier, he clapped his hands lightly, and he glanced provocatively Lu Xiaofeng, "If you miss the appointment, Hua Xiaoqi will not be able to see anything in this life, not even your appearance in your wedding dress!"
Lu Xiaofeng blurted out: "Who wants to wear a wedding dress! I'm the one to marry!"
Hua Manlou pinched his hand - when did you care about these things!
Wu Chang covered his mouth and smiled, and walked out blithely: "Hua Xiaoqi, I wish you a happy birthday in advance. I have prepared the wedding dress and put it in your room. It is very beautiful. It is a gift. Even if you don't need it this year, you will use it sooner or later." Well, don’t thank me too much, just thank you eight times a day.”
Lu Xiaofeng wanted to explode, but was held down by Hua Manlou.
Before Chongxi left, he glanced at the two of them, and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "We meet again next time, if you dare to disrespect him again, I will definitely beat you up." Then he looked at Huamanlou again, his voice softened a bit , "Happy birthday, see you in Yi Liugu."
The two walked quickly, and after they walked out of the flower hall, they melted into the dark night almost instantly, like two breezes that came and went without a trace.
"Do you think Chongxi is really your father? What's the relationship between the two of them?" Hua Manlou asked while trying to take his hand from Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder.
"I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng slid his hand down with him, still holding it tightly, and said matter-of-factly, "I don't feel particularly close to him." After a pause, he continued, "On the contrary, the one next to him, Occasionally, his expression makes me feel familiar." Although up to now, he and Hua Manlou don't even know Wu Chang's name.
"And the little statue on the domino." Huamanlou heard Chongxi's overreaction before mentioning Yuxi, "Mutian, the surname Mu is not common, and it is estimated that it cannot be found in the Central Plains now."
"They're all a group of old goblins who like to make mysteries!" Lu Xiaofeng hit the nail on the head.
"But they do know something we can't predict." Hua Manlou sighed slightly, "Let's not talk about Chongxi and the others. So far, the two seem to be only asking for something. The double fruit in the Xianghe case, Danzhu in the Seventh General Grass, the Longevity Pearl in Concubine Li's case, and the Zhu Mo Dao this time. From what they said just now, the double fruit seems to be in their hands, and the Dan Zhu Cao is with the gray-robed man. Both the Longevity Pearl and the Zhu Mo Dao are in their hands. Here, they didn’t rob you, obviously they are not on the same side as the gray-robed people. Most of the previous disputes were provoked by the gray-robed people. From this point of view, the strength should be comparable to them.”
Although the four cases were basically solved, the driving force behind the scenes obviously did not show up.And compared to the case itself, it is more intricate and troublesome.
"Never mind!" Lu Xiaofeng pulled him outside, "Let's go shopping, you haven't had dinner yet, no matter how important the event is, there will be tomorrow, and within these ten days, the most important thing is your birthday, other things We don't care about anything!"
Hua Manlou struggled with his hand: "The streets outside are full of people." Right now, he wanted to see what wedding dress Wu Chang gave Lu Xiaofeng.
"The sleeves are wide, so you can't see them when you pull them." Lu Xiaofeng turned her head, squeezed out a small dimple to pretend to be pitiful, and clenched her hands even tighter.
"...you talk normally." Hua Qishao felt his heart tremble, it's better for neither of them to master the skill of acting like a baby.
"Then pull?" Lu Xiaofeng shook the hands they held tightly, with a hint of cunning, full of affection and firmness penetrated into each other's flesh and blood through the intertwined fingers, and it was hard to pull away.
Huamanlou looked at him and smiled, it was always a gentle smile, but with a lingering pampering affection only for Lu Xiaofeng.
There are many people in this world who are romantic and affectionate, and many people are as gentle as water, but there are thousands of differences in this romantic, this gentleness, the only person can understand it, and others can't appreciate it, such as Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou.
It is a blessing for three lives to get this one person, and if you live up to it, you will die forever.
