Chapter 22: The Xiao family has more women than men

[Huang just entered the smoke and rain, Xiao Yuxian came to the door]

April 22, overcast.

The clouds cover the sky, cover the sky and the earth, the cool breeze blows, the willows beat the pings, and the whole Lin'an City falls into depression. The Bibo River is still flowing slowly, and the undercurrent under it is surging and turbulent.

In front of the building in the early morning, there were sparsely populated, and several white and blue attendants yawned boredly, looking at the pedestrians outside the building, stunned.

In the past two days, the news that Yanyulou has sent free blue waves and nine-striped fish has gradually spread all over the streets and alleys of Lin'an City, but there are many diners on the rivers and lakes who are gearing up and emptying their stomachs in advance, planning to eat a big meal with the opportunity this time.

A white and blue attendant secretly looked towards the atrium, only to see that under the leafy Tianxiang tree, three people sat around the pavilion, and the three clear teas on the stone table in the pavilion were slowly steaming.

One of them, born with a beautiful face, will make it difficult for men in the world to control themselves, but unfortunately it is a man, and he is undoubtedly the owner of his own house.

The other two are one tall and one frustrated, one strong and one thin, and the thin one is the guest in his own building, known as Li Sanye, who is the holy hand of picking stars.

Strong, but it was Huang Gang, the cloak knife who had just come to the door of Yanyu Building yesterday to make trouble, was pouted by the owner of the flower building and left in embarrassment.

But I don't know what this early in the morning, Li Sanye took him to do something, and the playboy met again, presumably for yesterday's Danfang, and looked at Hua Jieyu's almost perfect face again, sighed secretly, and said that the world is impermanent, and everything is difficult to rest.

In the pavilion, Huang Gang looked at the parchment on the table in front of him, was a little stunned, reached out to touch it, and then looked at the handwriting, there was no doubt that it was his own Danfang.

"You, did you find the black robe?"

Huang Gang looked at Li San with some shock and said. There were three points of surprise in his voice, and he never imagined that the parchment that had been snatched by the black robe would be recovered.

"Hehe, I knew that you clumsy guy couldn't do anything big, fortunately, your third master was prepared in advance, in order to prevent the same thing from happening again, the one I gave you was fake. ”

Li San looked at Huang Gang with some hatred, a light smile appeared in his mouth, and then said:

"Originally, it was just just in case, but I didn't expect that I would really be able to kill Cheng Biting Gold halfway and rob the one you have. ”

Huang Gang heard that his face was red again, he took the parchment, and then quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, hiding the embarrassment on his face, and continued:

"Huang Gang has heard the name of the playboy for a long time, and the recent actions are unreasonable for Huang, and I ask the son to forgive me for the offense, and Huang Gang is here to apologize to the son. ”

Huang Gang said, got up and shook it to the end.

I had only seen Hua Jieyu from a distance before, and most of my impressions of it stayed on the descriptions of the people in the rivers and lakes, but at this moment, Huang Gang couldn't help but shake his head again and again, but it was a pity that with such a good face, he was born a man.

Hua Xie Yu smiled faintly when he heard this, supported him with one hand, and said:

"Huang Daxia doesn't have to feel guilty, you lost Danfang, you are anxious, this is as it should be, now that Danfang has been recovered, the misunderstanding between the two sides does not exist, are you right?"

Huang Gang nodded again and again, followed the gesture of Hua Jieyu, and sat down again.

Seeing Huang Gang sit down, Hua Jieyu smiled, held the tea cup in his hand, and slowly turned it, but it added a bit of softness.

"As for me, I don't like to beat around the bush, the purpose of inviting Huang Daxia to come this time is simply to say it bluntly, I don't know if Huang Daxia is willing to be my guest secretary in Yanyu Building. ”

Hua Jieyu's tone was as flat as water, and he couldn't hear any joy or sorrow, but he saw his left hand move and push a jade box in front of Huang Gang.

Huang Gang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the jade box, but he didn't move, and his face showed hesitation.

"Presumably Huang Daxia also knows that with your current situation, there will be more troubles to find you in the future, although my Yanyulou is only a few years in Lin'an City, but Hua has this self-confidence to protect Mr. ”

Hua Jieyu stared at Huang Gang and said lightly.

Huang Gang hesitated, but he knew in his heart that after such a fuss yesterday, I am afraid that the people of the entire Lin'an City would know about it, and in a few days, the entire Nantang River and Lake would be in an uproar.

Just by smelling the fragrance and rain pavilion, you will definitely not be able to keep yourself, the best way at the moment is to find a force to join in, and in Lin'an City, there are only three forces: the city lord's mansion and the Yanyulou.

It is impossible to enter the Pavilion, and it is even more impossible for the City Lord's Mansion, the only choice can only be the Yanyu Building, or go away and fly away.

If you join Yanyulou here, but there is a trace of unwillingness, at this time, looking for yourself is nothing more than Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by, if it is not for his own treasure, how can he attract the attention of all parties.

"Huang Daxia doesn't have to be embarrassed, it's not too late for you to look at my conditions before deciding. ”

Hua Xie Yu waved one hand and pointed to the jade box on the table.

When Huang Gang heard this, he picked up the jade box and slowly opened it, but when he saw three white lights shining brightly and dazzlingly, Huang Gang's eyes widened.

"This ...... This is Xiao Yuan Dan?"

"Yes, as long as Huang Daxia agrees to join my Yanyu Building, our Yanyu Building will provide you with three small yuan pills every month, and one thousand taels of silver per month as salary, and all the food in Yanyu Building will be free for you. ”

"The pavilions and pavilions on the mountain behind the Yanyu Building, in addition to the pavilions for worship, other guest pavilions are for you to choose. ”

Hua Jieyu moved away from staring at Huang Gang, turned to look at the Tianxiang tree on the side, and gently sipped the tea.

"I don't know what Huang Daxia thinks. ”

Huang Gang looked at Xiao Yuandan in the jade box in his hand, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and nodded suddenly after a long time.

Hua Jieyu and Li San both smiled when they saw this, and replaced the wine with tea, and the three of them touched it and drank it all one after another.

"Since Huang Daxia agreed to join my Yanyu Building, then from now on we will be a family, and I won't beat around the bush. ”

Hua Jieyu put down the teacup and looked at Huang Gang again.

Here comes the topic! Huang Gang's eyes froze, and then he also looked at Hua Jieyu.

"Presumably, over the years, Huang Daxia should have been running around for this Danfang, right? ”

Huang Gang shook his head slowly when he heard this, and sighed heavily.

"Don't hide it from my son, I've been running around all these years, but no one can help me practice this pill. This recipe is not my family heirloom, but I obtained it from a ruin. ”

"Oh?"

When the two of them heard this, they were all refreshed, and they looked at Huang Gang together.

"But I don't know where Brother Tai came from?" Li San asked.

"Ten years ago, I went to Tianluo Mountain with four friends, and in the end I was the only one who came back. ”

"What!"

Li San stood up suddenly.

"You can't go to the forbidden abyss of Tianluo Mountain, right?"

Huang Gang didn't say anything when he heard this, just nodded silently, and then sighed again.

"If this Danfang came from that place, it can be explained. ”

Hua Xie sighed, and then said to Huang Gang:

"Hua is not talented, I was lucky enough to know a Dan Dao master, maybe I can try him. ”

Huang Gang and Li San were stunned when they heard this, and then they were overjoyed, and looked at Hua Jieyu intently.

"But this person has a strange temper and never gives alchemy to others easily, but your Danfang is special, I think he will be interested. ”

"I wonder if Huang Daxia can recognize the contents of this parchment?"

Huang Gang shook his head when he heard this, and said:

"I've been studying this Danfang for ten years, and I've been reading a lot of classics and histories over the years, but I haven't been able to understand what is recorded on it. ”

"That's going to be difficult, if we don't know what it means, we can't provide medicinal materials, and if we want the other party to agree, we have to use this pill in exchange. ”

Huang Gang frowned when he heard this, and then stretched out again.

"It's okay, it's useless to put it here and right for me, as long as you can practice the elixir, you can promise Huang to take one of them, and the rest is arranged by the son. ”

With that, he took out the parchment from his bosom and handed it to Hua Jieyu.

Hua Xie Yu smiled again, took the parchment, and said:

"It's so good, please rest assured that Huang Daxia will try his best. ”

The three of them touched each other lightly with tea instead of wine, and each drank it all.

......

Lin'an City official road, slowly walked a person, stopped in front of the Yanyu Building, silently looked at it for a long time, and walked forward.

This person is about 20 years old, dressed in black, carrying a long sword, hanging white silk around his waist, with dark gold flower arrangements on his head, black hair is tied up at will, and two white embroidered ribbons flutter in the wind, which is quite sassy.

Look at this person's face again, the sword eyebrows are narrow and long, and the eyes are full of autumn water. The face is white and red, the nose is carved like beautiful jade, the lips are thin, and the bright eyes are circulating, and the heroic spirit is compelling.

"Xiao Yuxian?"

A voice of surprise sounded from behind.

This person is Xiao Yuxian, who was bewitched by Zhao An early in the morning, and what she is carrying behind her back is the Ruin Divine Sword.

It turned out that early in the morning, Xiao Yuxian received a report from the people in the mansion, saying that there was a Humpty Dumpty man who asked to see him outside the mansion and held a divine sword and wanted to invite her to appreciate it.

Xiao Yuxian suddenly became interested when he heard this, and immediately went out of the house, and saw Zhao An holding a sword, and after confirming his intention, he followed him to a no-man's corner by relying on the courage of the artist.

Zhao An looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he handed the ruins to Xiao Yuxian, Xiao Yuxian drew his sword and looked at it, and was suddenly surprised, this sword in his hand was indeed a divine weapon! But it was not one of the top ten famous swords in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

According to Zhao An, this is a divine weapon from outside the Guan, and it deserves its name, Xiao Yuxian has seen the five divine weapons collected by Xiao Moran many times, and they are comparable in comparison.

Seeing a hint of admiration in Xiao Yuxian's eyes, Zhao An took the opportunity to give this sword to Xiao Yuxian.

Xiao Yuxian was first happy, and then asked Zhao An about the reason for giving the sword, only to hear that Zhao An said that he admired the city lord and the old city lord for many years, but unfortunately he had no chance to make friends, and learned that the young lady was a person who cherished the sword, so he sent it to him.

Xiao Yuxian saw that the other party didn't seem to be a fake, so he simply accepted the sword.

I learned from Zhao An that his junior brother was seriously injured by the white hair who lived in the Yanyu Building in recent days, so this Zhao An and he formed a grudge against him, and this time he found himself on the one hand as a gift of swords, and on the other hand, he wanted to investigate the cause of his brother's death.

At the same time, he will also act in secret, deal with gray hair, and take what he needs from himself.

Xiao Yuxian thought about it for a while, but felt that it was feasible, and after taking other people's treasures, it was reasonable to have to go for a trip, so he came to Yanyu Building.

Xiao Yuxian couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see a yellow-haired young man dressed in gray cloth, looking at himself in a daze.

"Who are you?"

Wang Yun scratched his head, he had only entered the City Lord's Mansion a limited number of times, and every time he entered, he was waiting in the front hall. was able to meet Xiao Yuxian, and it was also by chance that I saw her out of the mansion once, and I only found out by asking the people in the mansion.

"The villain is Wang Yun, who worked under the Jade Book Gongzi a while ago, and met the young lady in the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Wang Yun took a few steps forward and saluted.

"Are you, that gangster next to Yushu?"

Xiao Yuxian's eyes were sharp, and he turned to look at Wang Yun.

Wang Yun suddenly felt the pressure increase sharply, and hurriedly said:

"Yes, it's the villain. ”

"On the day Yushu died, were you there?"

"Young Master Xiao......? I ......"

Wang Yun's eyes dodged, revealing a submissive look, but he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Huh?"

Seeing Wang Yun's reaction, Xiao Yuxian, who had not planned to ask deeply, suddenly stood up with a pair of sword eyebrows.

"What's going on?"

"Yes...... That's the case, I did enter the Drunken Immortal Building with Young Master Xiao that day, but I was kicked out by the young master as soon as I entered, and then I heard the news of the young master's death, and I don't know what happened later. ”

"You said it, but it's true!?"

Xiao Yuxian pulled out the long sword behind his back with a sigh and laid it across Wang Yun's neck.

"Really... True... It's true, it's true. The villain has a lie, he is willing to die under the sword of the young lady. ”

"I don't dare to deceive you, let me ask you, what are you doing here?"

Wang Yun immediately hesitated again.

"Say!"

Xiao Yuxian's hand holding the sword was slightly stronger.

Wang Yun hurriedly trembled and said:

"I recently saw Ye Yun being taken in as a disciple by the white hair in the Yanyu Building, so I thought about coming to apprentice too, I originally just wanted to try my luck, but I didn't expect it to succeed, so I came to ....... today."

"Gray hair, he can be taken away like you, get out. ”

Xiao Yuxian accepted the ruins, but in his heart he looked down on the white hair in Zhao An's mouth, even the gangsters on the streets of Lin'an City could be accepted as disciples, it seems that most of this person is based on false rumors, but in fact, he has no real skills at all, Zhao An's move is a superfluous move.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuxian no longer cared about Wang Yun, who was pale in fright, and walked straight towards Yanyu Tower.

As soon as he entered the building, he was stopped by the white and blue waiters in the building.

"Yanyu Building is closed, this girl, please come back in three days. ”

Xiao Yuxian's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly:

"I'm Xiao Yuxian, I want to see your landlord Hua Jieyu, you go and report it. ”

As soon as Bai Lanshi heard that this person's surname was Xiao, and then saw that this person's behavior was not simple, he knew that this person was probably afraid that this person was from the City Lord's Mansion, so he hurriedly went to report.

At this moment, Hua Jieyu had just finished talking with Huang Gang when he heard the waiter report from him, and his eyes were fixed at the moment.

"Childe, this Xiao Yuxian, I have heard of it, is the daughter of Xiao Huangqi, it is said that she has excellent martial arts and outstanding swordsmanship, but she is quite the true biography of her grandfather Xiao Moran. ”

"She came at this time, I'm afraid that the person who came was not good, maybe she also came for Brother Huang. ”

Huang Gang, now he is also a person from Yanyulou, Li San directly changed his name.

Huang Gang's expression sank, showing a hint of anger on his face, this Dan Fang, but there are really people who are worried about it wherever he goes.

Hua Jianhe looked up at the two of them, groaned slightly, and said:

"You two should step back first, third master, you take Senior Huang to pick an attic and settle down first. I'll meet this Xiao Yuxian. ”

Li San nodded yes, and took Huang Gang to the back of the building.

Hua Xie Yu took another sip of tea, and as soon as she got up, she saw Lian Fang'er who hurried back, and asked before she got closer:

"Fang'er, how is the Drunken Immortal Building, is there anything abnormal?"

Lian Fang'er shook her head and said:

"Everything is as usual, but since Xiao Yushu's death, no talented and beautiful woman dares to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower. ”

Hua Jieyu nodded, walked towards the door, and after a short walk, he saw Xiao Yuxian who was standing outside the building with a long sword on his back at the moment.

"Miss Xiao is here, Hua is not welcome, please forgive me, please inside. ”

Hua Xie Yu smiled, and then made a gesture of please.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuxian didn't talk nonsense, so he went first and went up to the Linjiang Pavilion on the second floor with Hua Jieyu.

Entering the pavilion, the two sat down as guests.

"Fang'er, look at the tea. ”

When Lian Fang'er heard this, she poured two cups of tea for Hua Jieyu and Xiao Yuxian respectively, pushed them in front of the two, and stood aside quietly.

"If Hua is not mistaken, Miss Xiao is here for Brother Ling's business, right?" Hua Xie asked calmly.

Xiao Yuxian nodded when he heard this, and said:

"Steward Qin has been here once before, and he has already told me what happened, but after all, it is related to the cause of my brother's death, so I have to personally participate in the investigation, Lord Hualou, I shouldn't mind. ”

Xiao Yuxian didn't squint, and looked directly into Hua Jieyu's eyes.

"Of course I don't mind, Hua is worried that there is no clue and can't give an account to your mansion, this time the girl is involved, she will be able to find out the truth as soon as possible, and give your mansion and me a fair deal." ”

Hua Xie Yu nodded, and welcomed Xiao Yuxian to join.

"That's very good. ”

Xiao Yuxian nodded, then picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"I need to go around inside and outside this smoke and rain building, and I have to ask some questions to the people I meet, I wonder if the playboy can answer?"

Hua Xie Yu said with a smile when he heard this:

"Fang'er, then you can take Miss Xiao around inside and out, but if Miss Xiao has a request, you can just agree to it. ”

"Yes, Childe. ”

Lian Fang'er nodded yes, then looked at Xiao Yuxian on the side, and continued:

"Miss Xiao, please come with me. ”

When Xiao Yuxian heard this, she got up and thanked her, and followed Lian Fang'er out of the Yanyu Building.

Hua Jieyu continued to taste Tianxiang tea, and enjoyed the scenery on the Bibo River from time to time, showing a little comfort.

Xiao Yuxian walked through the three floors of the Yanyu Building one by one with Lian Fang'er, but she didn't find or ask any useful clues.

During this period, there was a small episode, in Shen Weiran's residence on the third floor, Xiao Yuxian looked at the white veil in front of him, and the beautiful woman in a purple dress, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration in her heart.

With Lian Fang'er's introduction, the two learned each other's identities and the reason for the incident, and Xiao Yuxian walked around Shen Weiran's room, and finally walked in front of Shen Weiran and said:

"When did you come to the Smoke and Rain Building?"

“......”

Seeing that Shen Weiran didn't answer, Xiao Yuxian changed another question.

"Do you know about Xiao Yushu's death?"

saw Shen Weiran glance at himself indifferently, and then turned around and sat aside, with his back to him, still not speaking.

"I'm asking you one last question, where were you and what were you doing when Yushu had an accident?"

“......”

Shen Weiran didn't look back, he held it lightly with his bare hands, and played the yaoqin.

A song is light, like falling into the clouds.

After a long time, the sound of the piano paused, and a cold voice came.

"I don't know, and I'm not interested. ”
