Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Trip to Mantuo Villa

After having breakfast at the inn with the two daughters, Zhao Xiaoxi remembered that it was time to go and see the fairy sister. Of course, this title is what the prince who is still immersed in penance in Tianlong Temple called her, for Zhao Xiaoxi today. He wants to see if this girl, who is called the most beautiful heroine by martial arts fans, is as beautiful as the book says.

Hearing that Zhao Hyo-seok took them on a boat, the two girls also enjoyed the taste of rafting, although they knew that this move would definitely not be simple. Like the previous trip to Swallow Dock, the three of them chartered a canopy boat and brought some simple food. Again along the Su River outside the city in the direction of Taihu Lake, as for where to go, the two women did not ask.

'Brother Yun, where are we going now?' ’

Looking at the boat all the way down the Su River into Taihu Lake, the curious Zhong Ling finally couldn't help but ask. Because she felt that Zhao Xiaoxi would not take them to the lake for no reason, she also deliberately boated from the Su River to Taihu Lake. I guess he must have chosen a good place and deliberately took them to play, but only Zhao Xiaoxi knew it in his heart.

Facing Mu Wanqing's curiosity, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take you to see Dali's national flower, a mountain villa specializing in planting camellias." But when you get there, don't reveal your identities at will, and act as a maid by my side for the time being, okay? As for why, I'll tell you when the time comes. ”

Looking at Zhao Hyo-seok, who began to pretend to be a mysterious seller again, the two women couldn't help but roll their eyes, but they didn't ask anything more. Seeing that this canopy boat kept sailing towards the place Zhao Xiaoxi said, as for the several ferries next to it that also followed all the way, Mu Wanqing and the others knew that it was a member of the military department who was protecting Zhao Xiaoxi in the dark.

For these members of the martial arts who were dressed like ordinary martial artists or ordinary people, Mu Wanqing and the others never asked where they came from. But he knows that these people are all called Zhao Xiaoxi's personal guards. The mental outlook of each member of the martial arts department, that is, like an ordinary dart martial artist, and like a well-trained officer and soldier, made Mu Wanqing also curious about how these people were trained.

Led the way by the boat sailing in front, the canopy boat that Zhao Hyo-seok and the three of them were riding also seemed to follow very leisurely and continued to move forward. It's just that when driving into a river where you can smell the faint fragrance of flowers, the boatman suddenly stopped the boat with a frightened face and said: "This son, you can't go in again, otherwise we will all be killed!" ”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxi's expression was very calm, on the contrary, Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling were very puzzled. asked: "Uncle, why do you go inside, there will be a disaster of death?" Is it rare that there are water bandits in this Taihu Lake? ”

Faced with the employer's inquiry, the owner of the ship, who refused to inherit the voyage, could only sigh and say: "Continue to this river, and you will see a mountain village built by the water." The hostess of that mountain villa is a demon with extremely high martial arts. You should be able to smell the faint scent of flowers by now, which were planted by the women of the villa.

I heard that as long as the boatmen who broke into this place, most of them were killed by her to make flower fertilizer. It is precisely because of this that this place is a den of thieves for boatmen like the old man and me. In the past, the government sent people to check on it, but they couldn't find the bodies of those missing boatmen, so that the government couldn't do anything with the female devil.

Over time, as long as the boatmen accidentally break into this place, most of them will not see the dead or the corpse. The old man still advised the son and the two young ladies not to go inside. Otherwise, if we bump into that female demon, we'll be in real trouble. ”

Looking at this boatman who was really frightened and didn't dare to move forward, Zhao Xiaoxi also knew that Mrs. Wang was hurt by love. Judging from the information obtained from the investigation, it is indeed a bit murderous. In addition, most of the people living in Mantuo Villa are martial arts people, so it is not too difficult to make a person's bones disappear.

As for this Mrs. Wang, whether she used a useless corpse as flower fertilizer, Zhao Xiaoxi also has no definite evidence. But he knew one thing, that is, the river where Mantuo Villa was located was a forbidden place for ordinary people or people in the rivers and lakes. Unless you are sure or invited, breaking into this place can mean death.

Although Mantuo Villa is a well-known dangerous place, this lady seems to know that no matter how powerful the family is, it is no match for the imperial court. Therefore, she dares to kill anyone, but rarely hurts people in the government. Coupled with its murderous reputation, there are not many people who really dare to come here to make trouble, and people in the official mansion who don't have any courage also dare not come alone.

Not wanting to force this frightened boatman too much, Zhao Xiaoxi walked out of the cabin and whistled, and the two small boats behind him rowed over quickly. Zhao Hyo-seok asked the two curious women to pack up their things, transfer them to another small boat, pay the rest of the fare, and let the old man rowed away.

When he instructed the members of the martial arts who were on the boat to continue rowing, Zhong Ling couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yun, is what the boatman said just now true?" Using human flesh as flower fertilizer, this heart is too vicious, right? We're still going inside, isn't it dangerous? What are we going to do if we run into that female demon? ”

Looking at Zhong Ling's curious and worried face, Zhao Xiaoxi smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, with me by your side, you don't have to worry even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den." It's just a mountain villa, and it's hard for me. Just remember not to walk around me. As long as everything looks like me, this villa will not be dangerous to us at all. ”

As the boat continued to walk down the river, the rich floral fragrance became more and more intense. When turning a bend in the river, a mountain villa built along the river has already appeared in everyone's sight. The scent of flowers floating in the air came from a mountain villa not far away. It is very curious to see what kind of flowers are planted in this mountain villa that can emit such a strong fragrance.

At this moment, a large riverboat drove up on the river in front of him, blocking the ferry of Zhao Xiaoxi and others. Looking at the bow of the boat, a delicate woman asked with a stern face, the intention of Zhao Xiaoxi and others. On the rest of the big ships, there were also many samurai with swords on their shoulders, and it seemed that there was really a trace of the frame of a river bandit.

Zhao Hyo-seok, who instructed the members of the martial arts who were operating the boat, to speed up and row to the edge of the big plate, listened to the girl dressed as a girl. When he looked at his group coldly and ordered him to leave the river immediately, he also felt that the majesty of this Mantuo Mountain Villa was really not small. To directly occupy this public navigation channel is really to ignore the existence of the government.

'Your royal family's behavior is too domineering, isn't it?' This Mantuo Villa is the private property of your royal family, when did this river become the private property of your royal family? Little girl, don't look at me so fiercely, and call your master to come out. In addition, move your ship out of the way, otherwise it will not be good to annoy this son and do something that destroys the ship and kills people. ’

The guards of the Wang family, who have special personnel patrolling the river every day, naturally glared angrily when they heard Zhao Xiaoxi's unruly words. Many of the guards' hands began to grip on the hilt of the knife, and they looked really ready to move. Only the girl dressed as a girl stared at Zhao Xiaoxi, who was holding a paper fan in her hand, and looked very vigilant.

'I wonder where Childe comes from?' What's the matter here? Although this river is not owned by my royal family, because my wife loves to be quiet, she does not like outsiders to disturb for no reason. If you happen to visit by chance, please leave quickly. Otherwise, if you disturb my wife, I am afraid that my son and your entourage will also be in trouble. ’

Faced with the dissuasion of thinking that Zhao Xiaoxi was not a simple girl, Zhao Xiaoxi chuckled and said, "Girl, what's your name?" If you want to know the name of my son, I will tell you when your wife comes out. As for the meaning of this son's intention, it is very simple, that is, I heard that the camellia of Mantuo Villa is a unique in the world, so I came to appreciate it before.

In addition, Ben Gongzi also wants to know whether the mandala flowers planted in this Mantuo Villa are really as fragrant as outsiders in the market say, and they are all cultivated and planted with human flesh as flower fertilizer. As for the girl's so-called trouble, since the day he was born, the last thing he is afraid of is trouble! ”

'What a breath! Youcao, for such arrogant people, how can you talk to him and capture them directly. Didn't he want to see the flowers? Capture them and send them to the flower room, and give them to the steward to make flower fertilizer, and he will naturally see those flowers. ’

As these words were spoken, a beautiful lady dressed in white walked through the water from the mountain villa not far away. In an instant, he came to the bow of the boat and looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who seemed to be slippery, with a fierce face. And with her order, the guards and the sword-wielding woman on the ship were already drawing their swords and were about to move, intending to start attacking Zhao Xiaoxi's people on several small boats.

Just when those Wang family guards were about to make a move, the paper fan in Zhao Xiaoxi's hand rang out, and there was a 'pop' sound. Originally, the small boat that could only see the members of the martial arts department who supported the boat quickly rushed out of the strong-suited man with a bow and crossbow. From the state of these bows and crossbows being wound and ready to go, the royal guards on the ship who were about to move couldn't help but tighten their expressions, knowing that if they dared to get off the boat, the other party would dare to shoot arrows.

Even Mrs. Wang, who had been in an unhappy mood for the past few days, felt nervous when she saw the crossbowmen who suddenly appeared on these small boats. It is clear that this kind of **, which is not common in the army, is very lethal. With the strength of these guards under her command, there is not much chance of survival if she is shot by an arrow.

But what she is more curious about is who this man who looks confident is it! With so many crossbowmen, why did he come here? That's what she needs to start thinking about!
