CHAPTER XLII

Lu Xiaofeng was in a good mood.

He thinks that he is already ninety percent sure that the embroidery thief is the one in the red shoes, as long as he tells Jin Jiuling this clue, the number one arrester in the world will definitely find them.

This should not be a very difficult thing for Jin Jiuling.

When you're in a good mood, you should always think of a way to celebrate.

So he was very relieved at first and stayed at Xue's house for another day, and the next day after going down the mountain with Zhao Ping'an and Hua Manlou, he decided to find a good place to have a drink.

The place they found was indeed very good. The river bends, the green willows are smoking, especially at dusk, the green water reflects the red glow, and the faces are as red as peach blossoms. Passing through the willow forest, there are several thatched huts, and the wine tables are placed on the sandy shore outside, and there are a few bushes of gardenias planted next to them.

The wine is a fine bamboo leaf green, and several dishes with wine are also well cooked.

Zhao Ping'an drank three or four glasses in a row before he said with satisfaction: "The wine here is quite good." ”

Hua Manlou also took a drink and said with a smile: "Where Lu Xiaofeng found, of course the wine will not be too bad." ”

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said: "Wherever there is good wine, I will remember it as long as I have been there once." ”

Hua Manlou said: "It sounds like you're in a very good mood, isn't it because you think the identity of the embroidery thief has been revealed." ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Definitely, I'm in a good mood now because we finally got rid of that tigress." ”

Hua Manlou said: "I was very strange at first, why did you call us to leave quietly early in the morning, without even saying hello, it turned out to avoid Miss Xue." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "If she knows that we are leaving, then we only have two choices: either not to go, or to take her with us." ”

Zhao Ping'an had been drinking and didn't speak, and then suddenly said: "That's okay, the enemy we need to face is very dangerous, and it's a good thing for Miss Xue not to get involved in this matter." ”

Hua Manlou smiled: "I thought Lu Xiaofeng was afraid that she would be pestered to worship the church, so she secretly ran away." I didn't expect Lu Xiaofeng to be worthy of being an amorous seed, and she was so thoughtful about Miss Xue. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "I hope I can drink Brother Lu's wedding wine before drinking your wedding wine." ”

Lu Xiaofeng almost jumped up again and said, "You two don't talk nonsense here, even if all the women in the world die, I won't marry that tigress." ”

Hua Manlou was still smiling, but Zhao Ping'an's face became very strange, as if it was mixed with a little sadness.

The air on the wine table seemed to be solemn for a moment.

After a long time, Zhao Ping'an said slowly: "Many things, when you think that they will definitely belong to you, often do not cherish them very much." Only when you find that you are about to lose it forever will you know what you really think, but at that point, it is generally irretrievable. ”

He suddenly smiled again, patted Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder, and said, "I just hope that your luck can be better than mine, and you can understand what you want most in your heart earlier." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's face also changed, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Was he thinking: What would he do if he lost Xue Bing?

Zhao Ping'an looked at him silently, and suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.

Others think that Lu Xiaofeng lives very freely and chicly. But what about himself? Does he feel tired? Does he imagine that he has a safe and stable home where he can shelter himself from the wind and rain, just like Ximen blowing snow and flowers full of buildings?

Zhao Ping'an didn't know the answer, because before he could ask the question, they all saw a person walk into the tavern. The setting sun shone on this man's head, and it actually shone brightly. This man is a monk, and this monk also has big ears and is very blessed, but the clothes on his body are dirty and torn, and the straw sandals on his feet are almost rotten. Honest monk.

Seeing the most eccentric monk in the world, Lu Xiaofeng smiled. "Honest monk, you came just in time, I have something to ask you. ”

When the honest monk saw him, he seemed to be taken aback, and said with a bitter face: "I am a Buddha with mercy, why do you always ask me to meet you?" His eyes rolled around, as if he was ready to find a way to slip away.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Don't run in a hurry, let me ask you first, do you know where Jin Jiuling is now?"

The honest monk was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to find Jin Jiuling?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I know that you have always been a very well-informed monk. ”

The honest monk said: "The monk is good because he knows where Jin Jiuling is now, but the monk still has to persuade Lu Xiaofeng, it is best not to have anything to do with Jin Jiuling now." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was also stunned for a moment, and said: "Jin Jiuling, please help him find the whereabouts of the embroidery thief, I finally have some clues now, why did the monk persuade me like this." ”

The honest monk said: "Because Jin Jiuling is now in a bigger trouble than the embroidery thief, the monk advises you not to get involved in this matter." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The monk had better tell me where Jin Jiuling is now, and then tell me what this thing is more troublesome than the embroidery thief." ”

The honest monk sighed and said, "What the monk is most afraid of in his life is trouble, but there are such people who like to take the initiative to bump into trouble." ”

Zhao Ping'an also walked over at this time and said, "Since the monk knows Lu Xiaofeng, he should know that this person is a donkey temper, and if you don't let him do anything, he will do whatever he wants." Therefore, it is better for the monk to tell the matter quickly, so as not to be broken by Lu Xiaofeng's head. ”

The honest monk sighed again and said, "Of course, Jin Jiuling is still in Wuyang City now. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This person will be happy, I am running for him outside, but he is safe and secure in the Pingnan Palace." ”

The honest monk said: "Even if he wants to come out to help you, he can't do it, Wuyang City is now closed with four gates, and he is not allowed to enter or leave." Among the nine famous catches in the world, the four in Jiangnan have all arrived in the city and are in the whole city. ”

Lu Xiaofeng changed color slightly and said, "What earth-shattering events happened in Wuyang City?"

The honest monk said: "You don't know? The prince of Pingnan was assassinated three days ago. ”

Lu Xiaofeng's face really changed this time, and said, "Who did it?"

The honest monk said: "Fortunately, the monk doesn't know, all the people only know that the person who started is a black-clothed masked man, with extremely high swordsmanship, light skills, and ruthless shots." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It is said that there are 800 guards in the palace, who work in shifts day and night, like an iron wall. ”

The honest monk said: "It's not said, it's the truth." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It is said that the little prince himself has also obtained the true inheritance of the sword technique of the Lord of Baiyun City, which is enough to rank among the first-class masters of martial arts. ”

The honest monk said: "This is also a fact, not only that, when that assassin made a move, the White Cloud City Lord was on the spot. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "In other words, that assassin assassinated the prince of Pingnan with a sword in front of Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City?"

The honest monk said, "Not bad." ”

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh and said, "This is indeed a bigger trouble than the embroidery thief." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "Jin Jiuling is the head of the palace, of course he has to take care of this matter. ”

The honest monk said: "The monk has already told you everything he knows, can the monk leave now?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "If I say you can't go, will you stay?"

The honest monk said, "No." ”
