Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was very remorseful.
He felt that he might as well stop being the hero of the rivers and lakes Lu Xiaofeng, and just change his job to become a famous detective Lu Xiaofeng.
Moreover, he is also a famous detective who is responsible for tracking and finding people.
Originally, the good Jinpeng Dynasty incident seemed to be on the horizon. Huo Tianqing was too impatient to kill people, even if he didn't feel it at the time, when he returned to the Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion and looked at Yan Tieshan's body carefully, he would always find something wrong.
Dead people can also "talk" sometimes, through their expressions, through their eyes, as long as you have enough courage to stare at dead people, you can get the information you want from them.
Naturally, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't be afraid of a dead person, so he came to Yan Tieshan for information.
He stared at him with a pair of tricks, trying to find clues from him.
It turned out he was found.
Yan Tieshan died too hastily, and the astonishment on his face showed that he hadn't thought about his own death at all, but at the moment before he died, he had an epiphany.
Lu Xiaofeng still remembered the words Yan Tieshan said before he died, just uttering the word "originally" and he died.
The remaining words, along with the passage of his life, were buried in the darkness together.
What was it, what did he want to say, what did he discover?
Lu Xiaofeng was confused, but his intuition reminded him that this matter is very important.
So, who killed Yan Tieshan at that time?
The target was directly locked on Mr. Huo of Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion.
It was awkward for him to kill Yan Tieshan.
But Lu Xiaofeng never expected that he would not be able to find the famous Manager Huo.
This is really a strange thing, because with Mr. Huo's reputation in Jiangnan, no matter where he goes, people can find that he is really a well-known figure. As long as he is in Jiangnan, no one does not know him.
But now, he couldn't find Huo Qingtian, not only couldn't find him, no one even saw him.
It's like a big man who evaporated for no reason.
Hua Manlou said: "Perhaps, he is hiding from us."
Lu Xiaofeng smiled wryly: "He should not make such a mistake."
Hiding is almost equivalent to confessing his crimes related to the Jinpeng Dynasty. With Huo Tianqing's intelligence, he would never do such a thing. Lu Xiaofeng knows him very well. He guessed that the other party already knew that he was suspicious of him. According to Huo Tianqing's past temper, he should be Stand still to confuse their sight.
As for hiding in a corner where no one is around, isn't that just self-inflicted?
Hua Manlou said: "So, he really disappeared?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I think so."
The disappearance of people in Jianghu is most likely not voluntary, but someone tied them up and doesn't want them to appear. Now, who doesn't want Huo Tianqing to appear?
Lu Xiaofeng was meditating to himself, and Huamanlou also had his own worries. Lu Xiaofeng noticed Huo Tianqing's disappearance, but he also noticed the disappearance of another person.
That is Shangguan Danfeng.
Maybe it can't be called missing, because Shangguan Danfeng is a very mysterious woman. You don't know when she will appear and how she will appear, but Huamanlou has not seen her for a long time .
Hua Manlou likes Shangguan Feiyan, and Shangguan Danfeng is her cousin, whenever she thinks of Shangguan Feiyan, it is very easy to think of her cousin, don't be hot, she is still such a strange person who dares to love and hate woman.
At the same time, he also bears the blood feud.
Such a woman is always moving.
Hua Manlou said: "You didn't notice that there is another person who hasn't appeared for a long time."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who?"
Hua Manlou said: "Shangguan Danfeng."
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly realized: "So it's her!"
He didn't really care about this woman, but Hua Manlou's words did reveal the truth that she hadn't appeared for a long time.
The more Lu Xiaofeng thought about it, the more strange it became. They went to Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion because of the grievances between Yan Tieshan and Jinpeng Dynasty that Shangguan Danfeng said at the time. What he said at the time was filled with righteous indignation, but now they all went to Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion to make a fuss, and Yan Tieshan even died. The sufferer did not appear, isn't this a strange thing?
Lu Xiaofeng pondered: "Maybe she has other things to do?"
Hua Manlou disagreed and said, "For a woman, is there anything more important than an enemy who has been feuding for many years?"
At least for Shangguan Danfeng, it seems that there is no such thing.
Lu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded, indeed, Shangguan Danfeng in their eyes was a very intelligent woman who dared to love and hate.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "I understand."
He said: "Although I don't know where Shangguan Danfeng is, we can look for someone who might know where she is."
Hua Manlou said: "Who?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Xiao Qiuyu and Dugu Fang."
One of the devoted protectors beside Princess Danfeng, Liu Yuhen, died, so there are still two left?
What Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou didn't expect was that they were looking for Xiao Qiuyu and Dugu Fang, and Xiao Qiuyu and Dugu Fang were also looking for them.
Compared with the two whose whereabouts are erratic, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou are simply benchmark figures, and they can be known casually.
As long as there is enough silver.
They may not have much else, but they will definitely not be short of too much money, after all, they used the same method to find Lu Xiaofeng.
Before Lu Xiaofeng found out where the two were, he took the initiative to send them to the door.
His face was filled with righteous indignation.
When Xiao Qiuyu saw Lu Xiaofeng, she slapped her head and asked, "Where is the princess?"
They all called Shangguan Danfeng the princess, which is a respect for the Jinpeng Dynasty that has passed away.
Lu Xiaofeng looked bewildered, he said: "Isn't the princess with you?"
Xiao Qiuyu's eyeballs were bloodshot, because of resentment, he said: "Why is the princess with us!"
As early as when Lu Xiaofeng and the others set off to Zhuguangbaoqi Pavilion, Princess Danfeng followed quietly. Lu Xiaofeng and Huamanlou didn't know about these things, but they knew them clearly.
Now that Yan Tieshan is dead, but Princess Danfeng has not come back, isn't this a funny thing?
Lu Xiaofeng's expression was very serious, he said: "You mean she went out with us?"
Xiao Qiuyu felt absurd and said: "Could it be that you didn't see her?"
Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng showed similar wry smiles. From this point of view, the other party is the lord of suffering, and they are also the lords of suffering.
Huamanlou's credibility seems to be higher than that of Lu Xiaofeng, so it is much more convincing for him to say this, he said: "We have not seen Princess Danfeng."
The expression is very sincere.
Xiao Qiuyu was taken aback and said, "Didn't you see it?"
He and Dugu, who was not good at words, looked at each other, let alone Lu Xiaofeng, with Huamanlou's character, he wouldn't be able to deceive them.
Therefore, they really did not see Princess Danfeng.
So where did Princess Danfeng go?
The number of missing people is increasing, which is not a good sign.
However, Lu Xiaofeng never expected that the disappearance of Huo Tianqing and Shangguan Danfeng was not the end of the matter, but the beginning of the matter.
Huo Tianqing and Shangguan Danfeng could not be found, and the information was not lost.
Lu Xiaofeng thought about it: "Now there is Dugu Yihe among the remaining members of the Jinpeng Dynasty." Not only the remaining ones, but he is also a very important one, because according to Shangguan Danfeng, the seemingly dignified head of the Emei School, In private, he turned out to be the owner of Tsing Yi [-]th Floor.
Lu Xiaofeng was skeptical of Shangguan Danfeng's words. Although he believed in his friends, he didn't accept everyone's words. In fact, Lu Xiaofeng was a very vigilant person. He had his own judgment and his own way of judging people. standard.
If it wasn't for the fact that the matter was too involved, he didn't want to offend Dugu Yihe because of his martial arts and reputation.
There is a kind of person in this world. Even if you don’t want to be his friend, you don’t want to be his enemy. Stand on his opposite side. Dugu Yihe is such a person.
There is also an unwritten rule in this world, the swordsman must be the swordsman.
Neither Lu Xiaofeng nor Huamanlou used swords, so it seemed that the job fell on Ximen Chuuxue as a matter of course.
However, at night, he came back to Lu Xiaofeng with the black scabbard on his back, and said coldly, "Dugu Yihe is not at the inn."
As if his buttocks were on fire, Lu Xiaofeng jumped up from the chair and said, "Is Dugu Yihe not at the inn?"
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Next, Ximen Chuuxue successfully turned his premonition into reality, he said: "Not only is he not in the inn, he is not around the inn either."
Lu Xiaofeng said almost desperately: "Then where is he?"
Ximen Chuuxue was silent for a while and said, "I don't know."
Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were almost dimmed, he suddenly said, "But there are traces of fighting in the woods near the inn."
The traces were quite weird, even Ximen Chuuxue couldn't tell what happened after seeing it.
But when Lu Xiaofeng heard Ximen Chuuxue's words, he suddenly came back to life and said, "As long as there is a clue, take me to see it!"
He really couldn't believe that these big and small people disappeared at the same time.
Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you have to find people!
Gongsun Lan was detained by Gong Jiu.
Hire her the best doctor, use the most expensive medicine, and have luxurious food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Its level of meticulous care is even comparable to that of Jiu Gongzi's meticulous care of Shaman.
But Gongsun Lan is the same as Shaman, yet different. Shaman was raised to satisfy Jiu Gongzi's morbid desire, while Gongsun Lan was raised to satisfy Jiu Gongzi's morbid curiosity.
In any case, his psychology is not normal.
Young Master Jiu decided to go and see Gongsun Lan in person, even if it was a pig that was carefully reared, with the personality of Young Master Jiu, he might have to go and see how the pig was killed, because that pig was different from other pigs. The son raised it himself.
That's a good reason.
Ninth Young Master, can turn the impossible into possible.
How dare the subordinates refuse to follow Gong Jiu's words, in order to prevent the ancestor behind him from going the wrong way, he respectfully led him along.
They also came to a dungeon.
These days it seems to be fashionable to build dungeons, whether it is City Lord Ye or the little emperor has built that thing, so is Gong Jiu, except that his dungeons are very high-end and gorgeous, just like the palaces where concubines live.
Gongsun Lan is inside.
She lived a very good life, not like a prisoner at all, but like a princess, with servants to take care of her daily life, food and clothing are all meticulous, the clothes she wears are made of the most exquisite silk, and her hands are drawn. She couldn't touch a single thread on the surface, and the doctors who came to see her every day were all masters of the apricot forest, and they couldn't even see ordinary princesses.
What Jiu Gongzi saw was such a Gongsun Lan who was mostly healed from his injuries, gorgeously dressed, with a ruddy complexion but cloudy eyes.
It's not so much chaos as it is dazed, just like a little baby who doesn't know anything, ignorant, quite a bit like he doesn't know what year it is.
There is no problem with this kind of look on the face of a child, but if it is an adult, you have to weigh it carefully. As for the ruthless and cunning Gongsun Lan, it is even more impossible.
Each of her identities is clever and cunning, which is not something an ignorant person can do.
But Gong Jiu was very satisfied when he saw her. This man is furry and has a changeable personality, but no matter what his mood was at the time, he would never make others feel better. Satisfying him is really a rare thing.
Ninth Young Master glanced at Gongsun Lan with his sharp eyes, and said to his subordinates, "That's right."
He couldn't hear any joy or anger in his voice, but his subordinates felt a burst of ecstasy in their hearts. Any old man who had been with Mr. Jiu for a while knew how difficult it was to get him to say the word "good".
That's almost the highest compliment.
But he didn't dare to express the joy in his heart, because Jiu Gongzi is not very good at making others happy. When he sees others laughing, he may want that person to die in his heart, or if he sees that people don't want to live, he will instead A desire to help each other emerges.
Don't try to guess what Jiu Gongzi is going to do, in front of him, don't treat yourself as a living person.
Otherwise, Gongsun Lan will be the end.
She's stupid, like a baby, can't do anything.
But she seems to be very smart, because she has become the loyal subordinate of Lord Jiu, no matter what Gong Jiu wants her to do, she will do it.
Without self-awareness, only after completing the mission of Gong Jiu, there is a chance to regain sanity.
What a chilling kung fu, no one knows where the mysterious Jiu Gongzi learned such a kung fu.
Is there anything in this world that he can't do?Maybe not.
The subordinate became more and more fearful, because he knew what a formidable character Gongsun Lan was. There are few women in this world who are more skilled in martial arts and smarter than her.
No one knew where the information about the Ninth Young Master came from, but the subordinates only knew that this woman's sword skills might be as good as Baiyun City Lord's or Ximen Chuuxue's.
Otherwise, the Ninth Young Master would not choose her to test Baiyun City Lord.
But no matter how strong she used to be, she has become a grasshopper in the hands of Master Jiu, and even her legs have been pulled out.
The subordinate suddenly heard Jiu Gongzi say again: "Her injury is mostly healed?"
He had asked it once before, and he didn't know what it meant when he asked it the second time.
This is a rare thing, because Jiu Gongzi rarely asks a question twice.
He seems to attach great importance to Gongsun Lan.
The subordinate said: "Yes."
Ninth Young Master said: "Okay."
He said: "Tell Gongsun Lan to find City Lord Ye."
He said again: "I will follow behind Gongsun Lan."
Of course Gong Jiu would follow, he asked Gongsun Lan to go out, wasn't it just to meet the Flying Immortal of the Lord of Baiyun City?
If Ye Gucheng used the sword move that he dreamed of seeing a second time, but he was not there, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?
A sliver of white drifted across the night.
The clothes are very white, and the skin of the person is also very white. From a distance, against the background of the sky, he looks different from ordinary people.
The breeze blows, raising the corners of the snow-white clothes, if not a mortal, what else?
It is a fairy, a fairy in the sky.
There is no moment when City Lord Ye is more like a sword than he is now, and the sword has turned into a fairy.
His clothes were white, blindingly white, like a snow-white blade.
His face is also white, with the unique coldness and hardness of overseas refined iron. From a distance, it seems to have a metallic luster.
Ye Gucheng: Oh.
Your pale face will also have a metallic luster!
Langyue followed Ye Gucheng. She was also dressed in white, but she was more like a ghost, more like a ghost. In the middle of the night, a beauty in white appeared in the wilderness. Few people would think of her as an ordinary passerby. In any era, ghosts are the spices of life.
If a commoner who doesn't know their faces sees them, they must think that there are immortals passing by in a trance.
Only the two of them shuttled in the wilderness, and Dugu Yihe was still locked in a cage. The overseas black iron that made Huo Xiu feel confident was naturally not something that could be easily broken. It's better to be tougher, but if you use a famous sword as an ax to cut off the cage, even if Dugu Yihe is rescued, you will have to scold him for being violent.
What's more, Ye Gucheng is not related to him, so saving his life is already a great kindness, how can we ask for more?
Langyue left a signal for the people of Baiyun City to deal with. As long as she wanted to, she could find out ten or eight ways to contact her.
It's as if there is nothing in this world that they can't solve.
Jianghu morality, sending the Buddha to the west, both Ye Gucheng and Langyue are like a mirror in their hearts, knowing who to build a good relationship with and who to stay away from, now that they have saved the life of Dugu and He, then Don't mind making him owe more favors.
Although Su Shaoying wanted to follow City Lord Ye itchingly, he didn't seem to have any reason, and no matter what, Dugu Yihe was his master who raised him. He was a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of his life. I don't understand any reason, it's just a waste of people.
Whether public or private, he should accompany Dugu Yihe to the broken prison to be opened, no matter how much he wants to go with City Lord Ye, he can't put it into practice.
Speaking of which, City Lord Ye has no relationship or reason with him, so why does he want to be intimate with him?
Su Shaoying: I fell in love with Lord Ye at first sight!
The reasons are good and strong.
Ye Gucheng doesn't care what Su Shaoying and Dugu Yihe are thinking, he just wants to rush back to his small yard and lie down on the bed until the sky is dark.
Anyone who has been seriously injured should have the same thoughts as him.
City Lord Ye is really a very patient person. All those who can achieve great things seem to have a quality similar to him, that is, they are good at patience.
Because he is good at patience, he is able to endure hardships, and he can bear most of the pain and suffering, and he looks calm, as if it is nothing to him.
The same is true for pain, for Lord Ye, pain is tolerable.
His ribs are broken. Although he looks like a fairy, he is actually a mortal body. The cracked bones can no longer withstand the powerful impact. It seems that it is nothing to be broken into two under the influence of a series of factors such as the right time, place and people. Hard things to understand.
Fortunately, his bone was broken in a good place, and it didn't get inserted into the lung or any other soft organs. If that was the case, it would definitely not be something that could be settled with simple patience.
Ye Gucheng can endure pain, so his face is ugly now, but he is still very comfortable in his actions, even ordinary martial arts practitioners are definitely not as sharp as him.
Everything seems to remain the same.
Langyue seemed to have a feeling in her heart, and looked at Ye Gucheng frequently along the way. The more she looked at Ye Gucheng, the less the city owner dared to show any clues.
With Langyue's temper, if she knew that she had accidentally broken the city lord's bones, she would definitely be so ashamed that she wanted to kill herself, even if everyone knew that it was just a well-intentioned accident.
No one is to blame.
Ye Gucheng would never underestimate the professional quality of the maid beside him, because he knew that the other party was loyal to him, and even regarded him as heaven and earth, so he had to be more careful in his actions.
What people call respect and trust are mutual, and you get as much as you give, because he enjoys the wholehearted love and affection of his subordinates, so he needs to become the unattainable Lord Ye.
This is the source and motivation of his idol burden.
Ye Gucheng's camouflage function is so good that even Lang Yue can't see through it, but it's even more impossible for Jiu Gongzi and his party who are not familiar with him.
The keen senses have become decorations, and seeing Ye Gucheng running wildly under the moon is like a cat seeing a fish bone, and its eyes are full of breathtaking light.
It was the look a hunter would have when he saw his prey.
Pretty pretty bad.
Gong Jiu's observation ability is very good, but the distance between him and Ye Gucheng is a bit far after all. Once the distance is far away, many things that should have happened will become impossible. For example, he can't see Ye Gucheng's expression. Usually paler.
Even Langyue didn't see it, but she still said that the moonlight today was so bright that even the face of the city lord was even whiter.
Ye Gucheng: Hehe.
Spit out a mouthful of old blood in my heart.
Everything is the fault of the idol burden!
Injury will make his state decline, and all his strength is used to disguise the appearance of being intact. This is not only for the image of Lord Ye, but also for deterrence.
In the dark night, who knows what will happen, especially when a wave of uninvited guests has arrived, he can't even identify who they are.
Ye Gucheng had to admit that he was careless, but City Lord Baiyun would never make the same mistake twice, he knew why those people didn't take the risk to fight him, it was all because of the halo of being a strong man shrouded in City Lord Ye.
He was seriously injured by accident, but this injury must not be seen by others, otherwise he is definitely not the only one who is unlucky.
Ye Gucheng is so desperate, Gong Jiu, who is quite a distance away from him, can't see it, especially Jiu Gongzi has to keep his own sense of mystery, he is not willing to rashly approach the city lord who is more sensitive than a cat. It's a one hundred percent thing.
Selfishly, I feel that it's not time for them to meet, especially since Young Master Jiu was given a good meal by Ding Duxiu.
Just thinking about the pain at that time, every hair on his body stood up and danced.
Not because of pain, but from the comfort deep in my heart.
Jiu Gongzi's sharp eagle-like eyes shrank suddenly, and the nervousness in them almost exceeded the limit that humans should have, but before he was discovered, he took it back rationally, and what remained in the end was only more vicious than a poisonous snake Yes, full of malicious light.
Ninth Young Master's worry was unnecessary, because none of the people present dared to look him in the eye.
He suddenly said, "It's time."
It's time, when is it?
The subordinates are still in a daze, but Gongsun Lan, who has been following him step by step, rushed over like a sharp arrow. I think that among the people present, there is indeed no one who is more loyal than her. The hatred for the ninth son has turned into flying cigarette.
No, Gongsun Lan didn't seem to hate Master Ninth that much, because she didn't even know who took her back and what he wanted her to do.
She suddenly became a weapon, a sharp blade that couldn't be more convenient and sharp, and her only duty was to obey the orders of the Ninth Young Master.
How much hate would she have if she had the chance to wake up?
Ninth Young Master fixed his sharp eyes on Gongsun Lan, and suddenly said, "Have you ever heard a word?"
The object of his questioning seems to be the subordinates around him, but the subordinates know that the ninth son is not talking about himself, he just needs a person, and he happens to be that person.
Jiu Gongzi's eyes don't look at such a small person like him.
Sure enough, what Gong Jiu needs is not the answer from his subordinates at all, he can get a lot of fun from asking and answering himself, no one knows where Jiu Gongzi's fun is, just like no one knows what he is thinking.
The Ninth Prince said: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who danced around with her sword."
The subordinates don't read many books, but anyone who can read two words has heard of Gongsun Da Niang's performance in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. She is almost the ancestor of the sword, and everyone in the world knows it.
He suddenly thought of Gongsun Lan's name. The Ninth Young Master never said things for no reason. When he mentioned Aunt Gongsun at this time, could it be...
Young Master Jiu said: "It's too much for me to let a woman deal with City Lord Ye."
This sentence just finished, who knows that his next sentence overturned what he just said.
Ninth Young Master said: "But if there is even one woman in the world who can withstand the sword of City Lord Ye, it must be Gongsun Lan."
It's not just about Aunt Gongsun's family origin, Gongsun Lan herself is also a very vicious woman with excellent swordsmanship. She hides herself very well, and her name is rarely known. Such a smart woman is rare in Jianghu.
But no matter how smart he is, there is nothing that Jiu Gongzi wants to know.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world.
The woman's dress is gorgeous, but it doesn't affect her actions. After Xinglin Shengshou's careful recuperation, most of her injuries have healed. What's more, Gongsun Lan has no mind now. The soul-stirring secret method from overseas can't be done unless she completes her instructions. Things, there is almost no room for unraveling.
Her mission is to test Ye Gucheng, backed by her own life, if Gongsun Lan still has a sliver of reason, she will not be able to do such a crazy thing.
City Lord Ye seemed to panic for a second, because he clearly felt that someone was coming.
His perception ability is naturally not good compared to the heyday. People who have been seriously injured are inevitably a little slow, not to mention that Lord Ye almost uses all his energy to maintain his normal appearance.
He couldn't let others see that he was seriously injured, because City Lord Baiyun and his sword were originally a deterrent.
But the person who came was really powerful, City Lord Ye could feel that he was a master, but not an ordinary master.
Most of the masters are very good at hiding their aura, because their kung fu is very high, they have reached the state of perfection, and they are integrated with nature. As long as they think about it, the lightness of their footsteps can hardly be noticed by anyone.
The people who came came very fast, with great fanfare, and it seemed that they did not intend to hide their footprints at all. In Ye Gucheng's perception, it was no different from a baby crying loudly in a quiet night, and it was difficult not to notice people.
Langyue's muscles tensed, and she also felt that someone was coming, and the opponent's kung fu was definitely not weak, which made her very vigilant.
But looking at City Lord Ye, he couldn't help but let go of his nervous application, because City Lord Ye always had a calm and calm look, as if nothing in this world could move him.
This is the self-confidence of a top powerhouse, there is nothing he cannot solve.
The ice-cold Lord Ye: "..."
I was a little flustered inside.
But he absolutely couldn't show the fluster in his heart, he knew the reason why he didn't lose if he lost.
Ye Gucheng closed his eyes, he didn't use his eyes to see, but watched with his heart.
His ears, his neck, every pore on his skin, and every part of his body are integrated with nature, and the air flow across his body can judge the direction of people coming.
Mobilizing every organ to feel the environment and the enemy, the picture he "sees" is as real as a building full of flowers.
At this time, the eyes are the biggest disturbance.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the night wind blows through the leaves, making a rattling sound.
There is a chill in my heart for no reason. Is it the bitter wind at night, or the bitter murderous aura on people?
A cold light flashed through Ye City Lord's pupils covered by his eyelids, here we come!
The snow-white sword light streaked across the dark night.
Flashes of light.
