Hung Yuen Villa

The old trees stand in front of them, the floating lotus leaves in the lake have long since withered, and the autumn wind gusts, bringing the lake water in the pond to ripple and spread in a circle.

Li Shijie sat alone in the wind and rain pavilion and pondered, holding the delicate tea cup in his hand, the tea in it had already been cold, he looked straight at the stone road, the lake and a hundred-year-old pine in front of him, the scenery here is excellent, the vision is wide, the breeze is blowing, it seems to be able to blow away the sorrow.

I remember when I was a child, my younger brother loved to come here to play, every time he came, he had to drag himself, he was always responsive, no matter what he was doing, he would put down what he was doing to accompany him. But now... Li Shijie smiled bitterly, after that incident, I want to hear the person call his brother in person, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.

At this time, Su Kexin, who was dressed in a lilac dress, came all the way with the wind, and when she saw Li Shijie sitting in the wind and rain pavilion, she was obviously stunned, and then returned to normal, trotting all the way, "Cousin, why are you sitting here alone?"

Li Shijie put down the teacup in his hand, stared at Su Kexin's still sweet face, and frowned slightly, "The scenery here is excellent, I'm just looking at the scenery and thinking about people." ”

"Is my cousin thinking about Brother Seyoung?"

Li Shijie showed a strange smile, "I can't recognize him when I am close to him, watching him being pushed into the trap step by step and being powerless, my brother is really aggrieved." ”

"Okay, cousin, don't worry, isn't he alive and well now? You know what? He's already down the mountain now, just near Guard City!"

Li Shijie's heart sank, and he stared at Su Kexin again, "My cousin's news is very well-informed!"

Su Kexin was dumbfounded, opened his mouth, and said, "Hmm... Yes... I'm just listening to people who go out to buy it. All right... I won't tell you, I'll go back to my room first. ”

Li Muyang saw a pale figure behind the screen, and frowned, "What's the news?"

An evil and respectful voice came from behind the screen, it was the voice of the floating shadow, "There is no news, it's just..."

Li Muyang raised his eyebrows, "Just what?"

Floating Shadow sighed and continued, "The eldest lady seems to have gone out a lot of times, and the direction of going out seems to be a few points near the villa. The subordinates sent someone to secretly investigate, and there was something wrong with the people who came in and out of the few branches, and a large part of them were fresh faces. ”

Hongyuan Villa has a huge power, and it is also considered a top sect in the rivers and lakes, with branches all over the world, and there are many industries under its name, and the customers are all old acquaintances.

Li Muyang put down the scroll in his hand and sighed heavily, he had reason to believe that anyone in the village was from Lingye Palace, but he didn't dare to think about Su Kexin, "Investigate thoroughly!"

"Yes. ”

Watching the floating shadow disappear in front of him, Li Muyang sighed again, it doesn't matter if he can't check it or not, since he made up his mind to meet with the palace master of Lingye Palace, he is already a person from Lingye Palace, but he has done a good job on his face, and the people who are doing things are strict, and other people who are staring at him, especially the Hengshan faction, can't find any evidence. Thinking of this, Li Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he thought of the Hengshan faction, he had to think of Li Zifeng, the son who had been disgusted by him for many years, but now he can take charge of himself, he Ouyang Ze is really powerful, Li Muyang smiled bitterly, as if he was laughing at what he did back then, which made Ouyang Ze cheap for nothing.

Mozhou Miyue Restaurant

It was noon, it was the most lively time of the day in the store, the hall on the first floor was full of people, the shopkeeper was busy back and forth, the guests chatting, drinking and guessing whether it was lively.

On a fairly quiet seat, Lu Shiqing took Xu Zining and Xu Weixiang to sit leisurely, and after ordering a few exquisite side dishes, the shopkeeper served Hengjiang specialty for the three of them, goat milk tea.

Mozhou is located on the border, but it is rare to be prosperous, there are many merchants, especially a few kinds of mainland specialties that attract foreign merchants from Hengjiang, and there are also Hengjiang people who come to the local area to open taverns and inns with Hengjiang characteristics, therefore, Mozhou has also become the communication hub between Liang Jingchao and Hengjiang to a certain extent. Moreover, the black and white poison is also from Hengjiang!

Xu Zining took a sip of goat milk tea, the unique smell of goat milk and the bitterness of the tea were mixed together, forming an extremely strange taste, Xu Zining frowned, and swallowed the disgusting taste.

Lu Shiqing looked at it, couldn't help but sigh, picked up the teacup and drank a few sips, calm and relaxed, looking very enjoyable, Xu Zining couldn't help but be surprised, Xu Weixiang recalled Xu Zining's appearance just now, and couldn't help but slander, it was okay for the delicious tea to be drunk like that.

Immediately, he also took a sip of the teacup, but the next moment, the whole mouthful of goat milk tea squirted out, and he couldn't help but complain, "What is this, is it for people to drink?!"

Xu is voice is a little loud, attracting the surrounding guests to look sideways, a slightly stout shopkeeper is extremely dissatisfied, probably from Hengjiang, holding a stiff Chinese language, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to taste tea, this goat milk tea is entertaining guests in our local area!"

Xu Weixiang also lost his temper, "It's not good to drink, and I'm not allowed to complain?"

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, "Hey, what did I give you face?!"

"Hey!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lu Shiqing stood up and stopped the two, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile, "He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he has a straightforward temperament, and his speech is a little rough, please forgive me." ”

The shopkeeper gave up, "Look at you are still crepe, if you don't like to drink, it's easy to say, I changed a few smooth ones, and when you go out, you have to be polite, right?"

Lu Shiqing nodded yes, Xu Zining saw this, patted Xu Weixiang, Xu Weixiang understood, and apologized, "I had a bad attitude just now, I'm sorry." ”

"It doesn't matter. I can't get used to our goat milk tea, so I'm going to change the tea for a few people. ”

"Thank you. ”

At this time, a middle-aged man of medium stature dressed in a transverse costume walked over and said in fluent Chinese, "What happened just now, it's noisy!"

"Boss. The shopkeeper greeted him and whispered something in his ear. The boss nodded, and walked towards a few people, Xu Zining and Xu Weixiang were slightly uneasy in their hearts, afraid that they had sued something, and they were angry.

The eye boss walked up to him and said, "You guys were complaining just now?"

The two of them were stunned and hurriedly made a state of vigilance and preparation.

And Lu Shiqing was still calm, turned around, and greeted the visitor with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, the boss is fine." ”

It turned out that the owner of the Miyue Restaurant was Yadaha, a businessman from Hengjiang, who was a good friend of Lu Shiqing, and both of them had attainments in poison, and Lu Shiqing also began to study poison when he met him by chance and chatted happily.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time were dumbfounded, when did Uncle Lu, who has always been idle, have friends in Hengjiang?

Yadaha was slightly stunned, and then laughed heartily, and the old friend was very happy to see each other, "Oh! Brother Lu, I don't know which gust of wind blew you here? These two are yours?"

"It's my family. Lu Shiqing said and introduced them one by one.

Yadaha patted his head, "Since it's your family, that's my friend of Yadaha, it's really lazy to let my friend sit in the lobby on the first floor, why don't we catch up in the private room on the second floor?"

"So, excuse me. ”

The three of them followed Yadaha into the private room on the second floor, and after they were seated, they immediately had a little second serve tea and a few exquisite side dishes, and after greetings, they each replaced the wine with tea and drank it all.

"It seems that the boss has a prosperous business and has made a lot of money!"

Adaha smiled and got the tea, "Where? ”

At this time, Xu Weixiang stood up and prepared to guard outside, in case of an accident that might happen at any time, but Yadaha stopped him, "Hey, how can there be a reason to let a friend be on duty? Don't worry, I have arranged a henchman outside, and it is very safe." ”

Lu Shiqing gave him a look and motioned for him to sit safely, Xu Weixiang understood, and sat back again.

Yadaha continued, "Brother Lu has come from afar, I'm afraid it's not just to visit my friend, right? ”

Lu Shiqing smiled, no longer polite, and went straight to the point, "We have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and we are here to ask you about two people." ”

"Who?"

"Black and white. ”
