Chapter 231 Seeing Lu Xiaofeng Again 5

"Lu Xiaofeng, I'm not here for official business, just call me by my name." The word Guoshi still has a great influence, if it is heard outside, it will definitely attract crowds.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said kindly: "Then I'll ask you to call me 'Brother Tao'! The peach blossom wine that Brother Tao gave you last time is really good wine. Since I drank your wine, other fine wines have lost their taste like water. Son. I wonder if brother Tao brought wine with him this time?"

"If you want to drink, of course you can." Tao Shuobai is very easy to talk about.

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly asked: "Isn't there a guard beside Brother Tao, why didn't you see him?"

"I asked him to get the wine." Tao Shuobai said casually.

Lu Xiaofeng was happy when he heard this, so he didn't bother to find out whether it was true or not. He looked around and asked, "Did you see Huamanlou? It's strange that he isn't in the small building."

"He wasn't there when I came. I heard that he went out with Qin on his back."

"Oh." Lu Xiaofeng felt even more strange, and still couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, so he said goodbye to Tao Shuo and ran to find Huamanlou.

Tao Shuobai ignored Lu Xiaofeng, but looked across the street along the small building. The shop that was "put to rest" was deserted, and no customers came to the door for a long time, but in fact, the business of that shop was not bad. The type that opened for a year.

At this time, Ding Xiaocai in the store suddenly felt restless, and a light screen popped up in the void, sending out an ear-piercing reminder: [Host, please pay attention, there is a huge amount of energy nearby, which will help the host to be reborn and completely reborn. ]

The writing brush in Ding Xiaocai's hand fell off, and the ink stained the account books. He didn't care about the things that could be treasured or not.

"What energy? What do you mean by 'reborn, completely reborn'?" Ding Xiaocai asked urgently.

As a time traveler, and a time traveler who knows the plot, even if he is not a big protagonist, he can live a prosperous life with his familiarity with the plot, but he is very unlucky.

It is said that reincarnation is a technical job, but after rebirth, it is discovered that the technical content of rebirth is not low.

The original body died of illness, but when Ding Xiaocai traveled through, something went wrong, and suddenly two tearing forces appeared, as if to tear his soul into two.Fortunately, he survived in the end, but it left sequelae.There was something wrong with his soul, he couldn't absorb vitality, but he was particularly fond of death energy.

What is such a person?It is no longer a person, but a zombie!

Fortunately, he also has time travel benefits, a system.

According to his situation, the system suggested that he collect corpses for others, and earn money by appeasing the dead ghosts.The reward is divided into two aspects, one is money in reality, and the other is the yin energy of the ghost.And every time a person is restrained, he can get a merit point, and these points can be exchanged for Yunyang Dan. Taking this pill can make him a little angry, and he will not be rejected by himself.

The system once said that when he took a sufficient amount of Yunyang Pill, he could reverse the energy of his soul, so that he could circulate life in his body like a normal person again.

[That is pure vitality, if you can get a little bit, it is enough for the host to directly reach the ultimate goal. ]

The ultimate goal is to become a normal person!

Ding Xiaocai was overjoyed for a moment and almost rushed out.

Finally, he calmed down and asked: "Why are there so many pure vitality? There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and if you really drop a pie, it will kill people. Tell me, what's going on?"

[Unable to detect...very dangerous...it is recommended that the host give up, it is recommended that the host stay away from danger. ] The answer given by the system is very bad.

Ding Xiaocai cherishes his life very much. Even though life is difficult now, he still cherishes it if he can live again.

"Forget it, I knew it was impossible to lose the pie for nothing." Ding Xiaocai laughed at himself, sighed in frustration, and went back to the counter: "It's a pity that I have to redo my account."

I looked at the order next to me and found that one of the orders was due.

This expiration is not the expiration of the contract with the shop, but the arrival of the dangerous period for the customer who placed the order to book.According to the agreement, Ding Xiaocai needs to go to the location provided by the customer for inspection. If the customer is really dead, his body will be collected, and the body will be collected according to the customer's request.

And a big red invitation.

Ding Xiaocai saw the invitation and remembered that it was sent by Huamanlou two days ago, inviting him to attend his father Hua Ruling's [-]th birthday.

This birthday banquet is not good.

As a time-traveling party, he knew too well what would happen that day, so he didn't want to go, because he was an extra person, what if he was unlucky and died?Of course, he didn't intend to remind Huamanlou, not to mention whether the other party believed it or not, with Lu Xiaofeng around, Huamanlou was safe and sound.

As for the others who died...

Ding Xiaocai shook his head, although he was sorry, but he also regretted his life.He really couldn't do this kind of thing that risked his life to save someone and the other party would not appreciate it.

Sighing again, his expression was a little frustrated, because he couldn't turn down the invitation in the end, it was sent by Hua Manlou himself, and he was very sincerely invited, and he couldn't refuse it.

He made up his mind that when he went to the banquet this time, he only ate and didn't talk. After eating, he found an excuse to leave early, and if he couldn't leave, he found a corner to hide.

An hour later, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng returned to the small building together.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't know the arrival of the national teacher, and I, the master, was disrespectful." Hua Manlou was indeed sorry and rude, but he didn't say much about the reason for returning so late.

It turned out that Lu Xiaofeng had found him a long time ago, but he didn't immediately tell about Tao Shuobai's visit.The two of them listened to the piano for a while, chatted about Huamanlou's mood recently, and the upcoming Huafu's birthday. It was not until the end that Lu Xiaofeng told Tao Shuobai about it.

"I interrupted." Tao Shuobai didn't care, sitting in the familiar small building, feeling like revisiting the old place.

Huamanlou took out the tea set familiarly and made tea for the guests.

"This is the sweet-scented osmanthus that was given by the master of the country last time. It is paired with the tea produced by the Hua family. The tea fragrance will be different immediately."

Although Lu Xiaofeng is not an elegant person, he is not only good at drinking, a person who is good at investigating cases knows a little bit about everything, so he is not ignorant of tea.What's more, as long as the nose smells, it can already be judged whether the tea is good or not.

This kind of tea is very strange, especially those who practice martial arts can perceive it most clearly.

Lu Xiaofeng became more interested in this mysterious national teacher.

Tasting the tea, Tao Shuobai said: "To be honest, this trip to the south of the Yangtze River is for enjoying the scenery, and for doing some business. This matter has something to do with the Hua family."

Hua Manlou was puzzled: "But I don't know what?"

"In two days' time it will be your father's [-]th birthday. Not only Jianghu Sect came to congratulate him, but it is said that the King of Hanhai also sent people to congratulate him."

When Hua Manlou heard "Hanhai Kingdom", he probably understood.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Hua. Your father has a very close personal relationship with the old king of Hanhai Kingdom. The court is not ignorant of it. Without the acquiescence of the court, the Hua family would not be able to preserve the Jade Buddha for Hanhai Kingdom."

When Lu Xiaofeng first heard about this, he was quite surprised.

At the same time, he remembered the matter of Zhu Ting, and slowly sorted out the clues in his mind.

"The national teacher has something to say, please speak up." Hua Manlou also knew this, but just mentioned it suddenly, something must have happened.

"There have been changes in Han Hai, and the people who came here have a lot of schemes. In order to protect the Jade Buddha, I want to visit Hua's house in person."

"The national teacher is willing to come and visit, and the Hua family will be full of glory." The matter is too involved, there is a mistake, and the Hua family can hardly be blamed.Hearing that the other party's tone was gentle and the request was not embarrassing, Hua Manlou naturally agreed.

"You can just call him like Lu Xiaofeng, it's too much for the national teacher." Tao Shuobai said looking towards the stairs.

At this time, someone was going upstairs, and ordinary people would not be able to hear it, but the three people present all have extraordinary hearing power, and can hear subtle movements.

The person who came up from the stairs was Junsi.

Jun Si took two jars of wine and put them directly in front of Lu Xiaofeng.

"...Thank you." Lu Xiaofeng remembered that the guard went to get the wine an hour ago, and it took him so long to come back, so where did he get the wine?

Tao Shuobai glanced at Junsi, knowing that he did it on purpose, so he said, "Thanks for your hard work as a guard."

Hua Manlou's ears were particularly keen, and he could hear the faint smile in Tao Shuo's vernacular voice.He thought that the relationship between the national teacher and the royal guard must be very good. This is not a verbal expression, but a feeling.

Because he knew that Hua Ruling would use the opportunity of the birthday banquet to get rid of Huamanlou's inner demons. Although Tao Shuobai did not agree with this method, Hua Ruling had a father's heart, not to mention that the situation had changed, so he did not Staying in the small building, at least for now, I don't want to affect the direction of the story.

On the day before the birthday banquet, Hua Ruling sent his servant Hua Ping to pick up Huamanlou by car.

Hua Manlou was surprised: "Didn't I say that I would go back by myself, why come to pick me up?"

Hua Ping said: "This is what the master ordered. The master said that the birthday banquet will not be held at Peach Blossom Castle, but at Yuxiu Villa instead."

When Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng got into the carriage, Hua Ping said that the box in the carriage was for Huamanlou.When Huamanlou opened, Lu Xiaofeng realized something was wrong and it was too late to stop it.

The box was opened, and a burst of medicinal gas came out, and the two of them fell sideways in the car one after another.

The two were sent back to Yuxiu Villa and put on the bed in Huamanlou's room. Huaping came in on tiptoe, and just as he took out a small bottle, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly opened his eyes.

It turned out that Lu Xiaofeng had faked the coma earlier.

Lu Xiaofeng grabbed Huaping and asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"

At this time, Hua Ruling appeared: "Nephew, I ordered this. I need to ask my nephew for help."

Hua Ruling invited Lu Xiaofeng to the hall, and Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised to find that there were five sect leaders sitting in the hall, as well as Eagle Eye Lao Qi.

Then Hua Ruling told the truth about Hua Manlou's blindness.

Hua Manlou was not blind due to illness, but was injured by the iron shoe thief's poison when he was seven years old.Afterwards, the iron shoe thief was killed by Hua Ruling himself, but Hua Manlou always believed that the iron shoe was not dead, and had already become a demon.

Hua Ruling said that he was old and in poor health, and he might die soon.What worries him the most is Huamanlou, so he hopes to take advantage of the birthday banquet to solve Huamanlou's inner demons.

To this end, Hua Ruling devised a plan.

He asked Lu Xiaofeng to put on snow silk wraps to pretend to be a thief with iron shoes, and with the assistance of several sect leaders, he asked Hua Manlou to kill the "iron shoes" with his own hands, so as to get rid of his inner demons.

Lu Xiaofeng always felt that this plan was unreliable. After all, Hua Manlou's ears were very sharp and his perception was very keen. How could it be so easy to deceive him?However, Hua Ruling and others talked about it, and he was persuaded to help.

Hua Manlou is his good friend. How could he remain indifferent when he saw his friend being tortured by demons.

According to the plan, Lu Xiaofeng lay down again, and waited for Huamanlou to wake up, pretending to be awake.

Huamanlou was very shocked by Huaping's conspiracy, especially when he found out that the location was his own room in the villa, he was even more puzzled.

Hua Ruling then explained: "Father ordered him to do it."

"Father? Why?" Hua Manlou couldn't imagine it at all.

"I received a letter a few days ago." Hua Ruling took out a piece of paper, on which was a bloody shoe print.

"The iron shoe thief?" Lu Xiaofeng pretended to be surprised.

Hua Manlou's face changed slightly.

Hua Ruling sighed and said, "Lou'er, you are right, Iron Shoes is really not dead, he is back. That's why Dad is very worried about you and doesn't want you to have any accidents."

Huamanlou was emotional for a while, but was speechless for a long time.

That night, when Lu Xiaofeng was sitting with him in the room, he suddenly took off the ring on his hand and gave it to Lu Xiaofeng.

"You are... and it's not my birthday, why are you giving me a present?" Lu Xiaofeng had already noticed that he was in a bad mood, and now he knew that his heart was the Iron Shoes Thief.

Hua Manlou said: "Put it on, I want to tell you something."

Lu Xiaofeng felt that his tone was too heavy, so he had to put on the ring: "Okay, tell me."

Huamanlou was silent for a long time, as if thinking about where to start.

He talked about his deepest nightmare. When he was seven years old, the iron shoe thief broke into Hua's house. He went to the secret room out of curiosity, but was hijacked by the iron shoe thief.

At that time, he tried to resist, but how could he be the opponent of the Iron Shoes Bandit?

Iron Shoes asked him coldly, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

He was young, but he was not timid. He looked directly at the iron shoes and replied, "Don't be afraid, my father will avenge me!"

From the moment he fell into the hands of the iron shoes, he was ready to die.He's not really not afraid, but he doesn't want to show it, because his father is a hero, how can he discredit his father.

Unexpectedly, Iron Shoes looked up and laughed, suddenly tore off the mask on his face, and stared at him ferociously: "I won't kill you, but I want you to remember, this will be the last face you see , and I will come back and appear in your nightmares."

As he spoke, Iron Shoes raised the long sword in his hand horizontally, the light of the sword flashed across, and the poison on the sword flew into Hua Manlou's eyes.Hua Manlou only felt the burning pain in his eyes, and the iron shoe's ear-piercing and rampant laughter, he passed out.

"...Later, my father united with the five sects to eradicate the Iron Shoes Thief, but I always thought that the Iron Shoes were not dead."

"why?"

"My feeling. A few years ago, I often felt that the iron shoe thief was haunting the Peach Blossom Castle. He seemed to be circling around the secret cave. My father had someone remodel that secret room. Now, except for my father, no one knows where the entrance is. Where. It's just...it's just that in recent years, I don't feel the iron shoes anymore."

"But he's back now."

"So I'm even more worried."

"worry about what?"

"I'm worried that he will be even more hostile when he comes back this time."

Seeing Hua Manlou's gloomy and worried expression, Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank. Although he felt that it was not good to deceive him, he couldn't let his demons continue to grow.

Hua Manlou said again: "So, you have to keep this ring well. It was passed down to me by my mother before she died."

"How can you give me such an important thing?" Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback.

"It is because he is important that we have to find someone with outstanding martial arts, wisdom, courage, and chivalry to keep it."

When Lu Xiaofeng heard these remarks, he suddenly laughed.

These words are exactly the same as what Hua Ruling said when he asked him for help, he is indeed a father and son!

Huamanlou heard him laughing, but didn't know why: "Lu Xiaofeng, what are you laughing at?"

Lu Xiaofeng exaggeratedly called out: "Ah, I seem to have seen a stupid cat run past the window just now."

Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly and smiled: "You really bully me so I can't see it."

The next day is Huaruling's birthday, and it is also the Menghe Lantern Festival, so it is extraordinarily lively.

The Hua family specially built a Ziwei pavilion for this birthday banquet, and hosted guests in the pavilion.Huamanlou and Lu Xiaofeng knew that Tao Shuobai was coming, so they went to the door to greet him.

Many guests arrived the day before, such as the five sects and some knights of the rivers and lakes. After all, the transportation is inconvenient. In order to celebrate their birthdays on time, the guests have to leave in advance, not to mention that this flower is like an order, so everyone Arrive early to discuss.

The first guest they received was Ding Xiaocai.

Ding Xiaocai was so close that he could arrive on the same day, not to mention that he was more resistant to this birthday banquet, so he counted the time to come here.Of course, you can't come too late, or you will be too rude.

Ding Xiaocai was still dressed in white, with a pale face, like a terminally ill.

Before coming here, he considered whether to change his clothes, but he thought that people in the martial arts world didn't seem to have so many taboos, and there were too many people wearing white clothes to attend various banquets, so he didn't change it.It's not that he doesn't want money, or that he finds it troublesome, but that he doesn't look good in other colors, only white is not so obtrusive.

He felt that he was as sad as a giant panda.

"Boss Ding."

"Young Master Lu, Daxia Lu." Every time Ding Xiaocai saw these two standing together, he couldn't help feeling, Lu Hua!

Back then, Ding Xiaocai was also an older leftover man, with no money, no house, and a mediocre job. It was difficult to find a match for marriage.

This world is good, it seems that late marriages are popular, not to mention Lu Xiaofeng is a prodigal son, Huamanlou is the son of a rich man, he is 22 this year, and he still doesn't marry a wife.

Not to mention those heroes of the rivers and lakes.

At this moment, another carriage came over, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng saw that the driver was Jun Si, so they stepped forward to greet him, while Ding Xiaocai's brain exploded from the bombardment of the system warning sound.

[Warning, please pay attention to the host, there are dangerous targets approaching first, please be serious about the host. ]

Seeing the description of the dangerous target, it really is the mysterious and unpredictable power that he was reluctant to give up before.

It stands to reason that Ding Xiaocai should dodge, but now that he is about to hit him head-on, it will be too late to dodge.What's more, he is really curious, what kind of dangerous target is it that scares the system like this?

The first thing Ding Xiaocai saw was Junsi driving the car. Although Junsi was wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, he had a thin and powerful figure wrapped in a black dress, with slender hands and a long sword standing beside him, very novel The demeanor of a master of the rivers and lakes.

Especially Ding Xiaocai could feel the forceful aura, how could such a person be just a coachman?

But Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng greeted the people inside the car.

Ding Xiaocai opened his mouth wide in surprise when he saw it for the first time.In the past three years, he has also seen many outstanding characters, Lu Hua in the original book is the second, but this person's appearance and temperament are still a bit breathtaking.

Wear white!No sword!no beard!

Ding Xiaocai first ruled out Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, then he thought of a person, and couldn't help shaking.

——Could it be the perverted Ninth Young Master who likes to play self-torture?

If so, it's a pity.

Ding Xiaocai didn't hide his eyes in shock, not to mention that he is a strange soul, it's hard for Tao Shuobai not to pay attention.It's just that Ding Xiaocai looked at him in a special way, what a pity?regret what?

Hua Manlou introduced the two of them: "This one is Boss Ding Xiaocai Ding, and this one is Mr. Tao."

Because she did not want to reveal her identity, Hua Manlou did not introduce her name.

However, Ding Xiaocai is a time traveler. He knows that the people who appear beside the protagonist will not be ordinary people, especially such a person who is outstanding in everything, it is absolutely impossible to be irrelevant.

He immediately thought of being the imperial teacher.

In the original plot, it was never mentioned that there was a national teacher in the imperial court. Now there is an "outsider" who he already regards as a compatriot.Who knows that when compatriots meet now, he is still a dangerous person, for a while, he would rather meet Gong Jiu.

"Young Master Peach." Ding Xiaocai tried to lower his sense of presence. He was not sure how the other party felt about him, let alone whether the other party had any cheats.

Tao Shuobai saw some clues, and said in a gentle voice: "It turns out to be Boss Ding, and Boss Ding's shop is unique and very fresh."

Suddenly, Ding Xiaocai felt a chill from head to toe.

Is this really a compliment rather than a hint?

A smile flashed across Tao Shuo's eyes, and he said: "I hit Boss Ding like old friends at first sight, Boss Ding will sit with me at the table later."

What can Ding Xiaocai say?Of course you have to accept the kindness.

"Young man, arrange the seats later, just arrange me and Boss Ding at the side seats. It will cause unnecessary trouble, so please pretend that you and I don't know each other for the time being." Tao Shuobai did this to paralyze a certain woman, but the real purpose is to fill the building with flowers.

After all, if he wants to arrest someone, he can do it at any time, but his mind is the same as Hua Ruling's, he has already set up this big show, so it's better to take advantage of the situation and let Huamanlou completely eradicate his demons.

Huamanlou naturally had no objection.

In this way, it is not easy for several people to go in together, Huamanlou arranged for Huaping to entertain and arrange.

Ding Xiaocai followed Tao Shuobai, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes pleasing.

The three of them chose a partial seat, all of them were businessmen, they had some business dealings with the Hua family, so they knew each other.The three of them entered the table under the guise of Ding Xiaocai, and the others lost interest after hearing their identities.

During the banquet, there were staggered toasts and birthday wishes.

Suddenly, exotic music sounded, and a man dressed in exotic clothes appeared. Along with the music, this man did a dance.Afterwards, this person introduced his identity. It turned out that he was a waiter sent by the king of Hanhai Kingdom to congratulate Hua Ruling on her [-]th birthday. His name was Emil.

Amir not only performed the dance himself, but also three boys presented various treasures and gifts, and then an exotic beauty performed the dance.

This beauty's face was covered with a veil, revealing a pair of bright eyes like autumn water. She was dressed in a foreign land, showing her slim waist, and her figure was slim and graceful, dancing lightly to the sound of music.

In the dancing posture, her eyes are looking forward and flying, seemingly charming, and the movement of her eyes seems to be full of affection, but she is actually quickly observing the guests present.

Her focus is on the two tables at the main table.

Except for Hua Ruling and his son, Lu Xiaofeng, the others were all figures from various sects, they took their seats one by one, and there were no extra people.

This reassured her.
