Chapter 433: Joining Forces
The next day, it was time to make an appointment with Huang Dan. Feiyun and Liangchen discussed it, so they asked Xia Feng, Qingxiang, Xiang'er, Liu Shui, and Lin Feng to set off early in the morning and rushed to the Lotus Inn. Xia Feng dressed up as a rich son, Qingxiang and Xiang'er dressed up as maidservants, and Liu Shui and Lin Feng dressed as the homekeepers.
After Xia Feng and the five of them walked for more than an hour, Feiyun and Tianxiang walked slowly. Liangchen and the others stayed in the trading house and waited for news. Feiyun and Tianxiang enjoyed the scenery along the way, chatting while walking. Although the two have known each other for a long time, after coming to the capital, it is rare to be alone like this.
Tianxiang glanced at Feiyun and asked, "Big brother, this time you are involved in the affairs of the government again, will you be a little reluctant in your heart?" ”
Feiyun shook his head and said, "This is also something that cannot be helped. Even if I hadn't encountered such a thing, I would have found out. After all, when he was escorting Wu Zetian, he formed a bond with Huang Yuxian. I've made a feud with them in the Quick Knife Sect, and if I don't go to them, they'll come to me. ”
Tianxiang said with some concern: "If they insist on letting you go alone, how will we deal with it?" ”
Feiyun smiled slightly and said, "No." If they really don't, then we won't go. Now that the Quick Knife Sect has been temporarily disbanded, they can't find anyone from the Quick Knife Sect, so they can't do anything. Besides, this Lotus Inn is definitely one of their strongholds, and we can find their lair by tracking the people of this inn. ”
Feiyun thought that if he took 10,000 steps back, Huang Yuxian's den was already under his control, and if Huang Yuxian and Xiao Yan dared to continue to do wrongdoing, Feiyun could take this Lotus Inn and give Huang Yuxian a warning!
Tianxiang nodded and said, "That's what you said, with the clues of the inn, don't worry about finding their lair!" ”
The two walked slowly until it was almost noon, and then they came to the Lotus Inn. Feiyun and Tenka walked in. The two took a closer look and found that there were not many diners inside, only a few people sitting at two tables.
When Huang Yong, a man, saw someone coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Two guest officers, are you staying in a hotel or dining?" At that time, Feiyun was behind, and Huang Yong naturally didn't know Feiyun.
Feiyun looked inside, but didn't see the five Xia Feng, thinking that they must have been taken away. Feiyun thought to himself that he would try to keep some time away from them, so as not to be suspicious of the other party.
Feiyun made up his mind and said to Huang Yong, "Man, when you say this, I really feel a little hungry. Then serve us a table of delicious food! Feiyun also pretended not to know Huang Yong. Huang Yong took Feiyun and Tianxiang to a clean empty table and invited them to sit down and wait.
Feiyun and Tianxiang sat opposite each other, and glanced at the diners sitting next to them, who were eight sturdy men, and they were wearing a single knife at their waists. Obviously, they are all practitioners.
Feiyun and Tianxiang smiled knowingly, knowing that these people must be under Huang Yuxian's command. After a while, the guy served the food and drinks. Tianxiang was worried that the other party would be poisoned, and after secretly using a silver needle to try non-poisonous, she bowed her head slightly towards Feiyun.
The two walked for most of the day, and they were indeed a little hungry, so they ate and drank. After the two finished eating, Feiyun called his partner Huang Yong over and said, "In Xia Lin Feiyun, I wonder if you know a Huang Dan girl?" ”
Guy Huang Yong nodded and said, "Miss Huang Dan is a frequent customer of our store, so we naturally know each other. It turns out that you are Lin Feiyun Shaoxia, Miss Huang Dan has already explained, if Lin Shaoxia arrives, let us take you to meet her. But this girl is afraid that it is inconvenient for her to go with her, so I ask her to stay here and wait. ”
Tianxiang's face immediately sank, and said, "That's not good, I'm his fiancée." Wherever he goes, I will naturally follow. Besides, he went to see a woman, and I don't want him to be seduced away by a vixen! Of course, if you insist on this, I will have to prevent him from going. ”
When Huang Yong heard this, he didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Huang Qing and ask him to show him.
Huang Qing frowned, walked over slowly, and said to Feiyun and Tianxiang: "Lin Shaoxia, Miss Huang Dan should have agreed with you that you could only come to see you alone. ”
Feiyun nodded and said, "What the shopkeeper said is right. Three days ago, Miss Huang Dan and I did make an agreement like this. But this is not an outsider, it is my future wife. She wouldn't let me go alone, and I couldn't help it. If you insist, I will have to go back with her. Please tell Miss Wong and apologize deeply. ”
Huang Yong next to him was furious and shouted: "You are a dignified seven-foot man, how can you be so afraid of a woman who has not yet passed the door? It's too ......" Before he finished speaking, Tianxiang suddenly got up, waved his jade palm, and slapped Huang Yong very quickly.
Huang Yong screamed "oops", immediately fell to the side, and lay on the nearby table, knocking the porcelain bowls that were pretending to be delicacies to pieces. The four men at the table were furious and stood up.
Tianxiang said coldly to Huang Qing: "Shopkeeper, why are you so ignorant of the rules?" The master speaks, where can he be allowed to talk nonsense here! ”
When Huang Qing saw it, he was shocked. Huang Yong's martial arts are not weak, but he was easily slapped by this woman, which shows that this woman's martial arts are not below Huang Dan and herself. No wonder this Lin Feiyun is so afraid of her, it seems that this woman is indeed not easy to mess with.
Huang Qing's responsibility is to welcome guests, not to find trouble. Besides, he also knew that if he really did it, how could a few people in his store be opponents of the two of them?
Huang Qing calmed down and said to Tianxiang: "Since the girl insists on going, I will wait for my fate." However, please don't make any more random moves, so as not to cause a bigger misunderstanding! ”
Feiyun hurriedly pulled Hong Tianxiang down and sat down, and said, "Forgive the shopkeeper." But you guys really lack discipline, how can you be so disrespectful? Fortunately, my fiancée was kind-hearted and didn't give it her all, otherwise he would have died a long time ago. Since you agree, send someone to lead the way!" We must also hurry back as soon as possible, lest we have to walk in the dark when we return. "Actually, Feiyun and Tianxiang had already discussed it on the road, and let Tianxiang deliberately find fault with them, forcing them to agree to let Tianxiang go together.
Huang Qing heard that Feiyun's tone was not good, and he was immediately shocked that his forehead was sweating, and he hurriedly said: "What Shaoxia said is that I will definitely discipline him strictly in the future." Then without delay, I will have a carriage ready to send the two of them. ”
Feiyun shook his head and said, "It's too stuffy to sit in the carriage, if you have horses, give us one or two, how about it?" ”
Huang Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Please forgive me." Miss Huang Dan didn't want others to know where she lived, so everyone had to sit in a carriage to get to her, lest anyone steal the path. The windows of the carriage are closed, so please sit in them and do not open them. ”
Feiyun snorted coldly and said, "How can you see her, it's so troublesome." If I had known that, I wouldn't have come! What if we don't want to ride in a carriage? ”
Aoki said apologetically, "In that case, I'll have to ask the two of you to leave this place on your own." It's just that in that case, I will have the trust of the white girl, and I will inevitably be scolded by the white girl. Seeing this, Hongying immediately said: "Brother Shui, they are afraid that you are a spy, so they are so guarded." Since the shopkeeper just gave a step, we will also let him take a step in return, so as not to embarrass him. Hongying naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity, so she hinted that Liu Shui shouldn't care.
Liu Shui understood, so he said to Aoki: "Then it's up to you, we'll get in the car, but I've wronged you." Hongying smiled slightly and said, "With you by my side, I won't feel any grievances." As the two spoke, they came outside, and sure enough, they saw a luxurious and brand-new carriage parked outside the inn. Aoki followed and said, "Please get in the car and sit down, and I'll let my buddy Erhu drive for you." ”
Liu Shui said: "Thank you shopkeeper, how far is the place you want to go?" What is it? Aoki said, "The White Girl lives in Lotus Villa, which is about thirty or forty miles away. If you hurry up, you can arrive in less than two hours! Liu Shui thanked him, then took Hongying's jade hand and jumped into the carriage together.
Liu Shui and Hongying entered the car and sat down in the carriage. The two of them looked closely, and saw that it was indeed a special carriage, and the curtains were sealed, so that they could not see the outside at all. Aoki, who was standing on the side, waved at Erhu, who flew onto the carriage. After the two tigers sat down, they raised their whips. The carriage moved slowly, heading east.
The carriage was rushing all the way in the breeze, and Liu Shui and Hongying listened carefully, only hearing the sound of swaying branches and birds and cicadas, but there was no human voice. Liu Shui secretly speculated that the carriage was not fast, and it was very bumpy, and it seemed that it was traveling on a rugged mountain road. Liu Shui shouted at the two tigers in front of him: "This brother, how far is it?" The second tiger replied, "Climb over the mountain in front of you and you will arrive." ”
The carriage continued to gallop for about half an hour, and finally stopped. Liu Shui heard someone outside asking, "Brother Erhu, who did you bring here?" Erhu replied: "Brother Sanlong, please tell the White Lotus Envoy on my behalf that Liu Shui Shaoxia and his fiancée she invited are here!" The three dragons said, "Please wait," and turned to leave. Erhu jumped out of the carriage and said to Liu Shui and the two people in the car: "Two, please get off!" ”
Liu Shui came out first, jumped out of the carriage, and Hongying followed closely behind. The two looked closely, and they were standing in front of the gate of a large mansion. The top of this gate is engraved with four golden characters "Lotus Villa", and there are four big men standing at the gate, all dressed in strong clothes, and wearing steel knives at their waists, which looks majestic.
Aoki's apologetic Liu Shui glanced at Erhu who was standing aside, and was about to ask. At this moment, several people came out of the door. Liu Shui raised his eyes and looked closely, and it was the white lotus in the middle, with sword eyebrows and sword eyes accompanying each other left and right. The white lotus came to Liu Shui, with a smile on her face, staring at Liu Shui with her eyes, bowing her hand, and said, "Liu Shaoxia is really a person who believes in his word, and he came according to the agreement. We are waiting for a long time to welcome, please bear with me. ”
Liu Shui bowed his hand and saluted back: "The girl has a good reputation, and she doesn't dare not come." I don't want the people in the Knife Gate to be hunted down by you! White Lotus naturally heard the sarcasm in Liu Shui's words, but she didn't hear it and said, "The young man is serious. This girl is here with Shaoxia, right? Who is she? The White Lotus glanced at Hongying casually. Liu Shui said: "Miss Bai, she is my fiancée, surnamed Hong Mingying. Ying'er, this is the White Lotus Messenger of the Lotus Sect that I mentioned to you. ”
White Lotus ignored Hongying anymore, and said angrily to Liu Shuijiao: "Didn't you say that I want you to come alone?" How do you not keep your word? Before Liu Shui could reply, Hongying snorted coldly and said, "If he doesn't bring me here, he won't be able to get out of the gate." And how to meet the vixens in the wild! White Lotus didn't take Hongying in her eyes, and Hongying didn't care.
But White Lotus looked at Liu Shui with affection, and spoke coquettishly, which made Hongying angry. Li Yu and Shui Shui have already made Hong Yingfang uneasy, if there is another woman like this fairy, how can Hong Ying stand it? So she snatched the words, made mocking remarks, and wanted to give the White Lotus a dismount and let her retreat.
White Lotus was stunned, few people dared to say this to her face. White Lotus's face was so angry that her face turned pale, she looked at Hongying with cold eyes, and said angrily: "You have such a big breath! Looking at how you are dressed, you should also be a lady from a famous family, why is the exit so unbearable? Hongying saw that the white lotus was blushing, and there was great anger in her words. She didn't pay attention to the tone of this demon girl, which made White Lotus very angry, and Hongying's heart was full of joy.
Hongying was not angry, but smiled slightly and said, "I just told a few words of truth, why do you accuse me like this?" Are you a vixen? Vixens are all clever and beautiful. In my opinion, it seems that you do not meet such a standard, and there is obviously a big gap. The White Lotus has always been arrogant and complacent, how could he have been so ridiculed, and immediately shouted: "You talk nonsense again, don't choose what to say, be careful that I take your life immediately!" ”
The two sects that have been destroyed recently were all destroyed by White Lotus with people. Therefore, the White Lotus was quite conceited and complacent, thinking that the martial arts people in the capital were nothing more than that. At this moment, she was provoked by Hongying, and saw that Hongying was a weak woman, so she suddenly lost her temper and said threatening words.
Seeing this, Liu Shui thought badly, he hadn't entered it yet, and he didn't understand anything, so how could he turn his face immediately, and hurriedly persuaded: "The White Lotus Envoy will be angry for the time being." My sister has always been willful and open-mouthed, please bear with me and make amends to you for her. Liu Shui turned to Hongying and said, "My good sister, how can you offend the dignified White Lotus Envoy?" Shut up. Liu Shui's words reminded Hongying, and she stopped speaking.
Seeing Liu Shui apologize, White Lotus no longer cared, and said, "Originally, I let you come alone, but it's okay if she comes." In case you don't obey, we'll use her as a bargaining chip! Please come in, our sect leader is invited! Liu Shui saw her openly threatening, and his heart was furious. But at this moment, Liu Shui could only suppress his anger and pretend to look calm and indifferent.
