CHAPTER XXVI

In April, there are no plum blossoms outside Wanmei Villa.

But here are the peach blossoms and rhododendrons that cover the hillside, blooming in the sun.

Zhao Ping'an and Hua Manlou stood quietly side by side on the hillside. Hua Manlou's face had an indescribable brilliance, just like when a girl in love for the first time saw her lover.

He was a man who loved flowers.

Zhao Ping'an sighed and said, "Has Lu Xiaofeng already entered Wanmei Villa?"

Hua Manlou said: "It should be, we are still a step late." ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "I didn't expect that swallow's ability to be really small, Lu Xiaofeng was still moved by her." ”

Hua Manlou smiled: "Their plan was originally very thorough, not to mention that Lu Xiaofeng is a nosy temper. ”

Zhao Ping'an said with a smile: "Not only is he nosy, but he also has many friends with high martial arts, and if he wants to kill Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe with a knife, there is indeed no more suitable person than him." ”

Hua Manlou said: "Did he come here to ask Ximen to blow the snow?"

Nodding, Zhao Ping'an said: "Yan Tieshan and Dugu themselves are both first-class masters, and there are many people under their command, if you want to deal with them, Lu Xiaofeng naturally has to find a helper-Ximen Blowing Snow is strong in swordsmanship, jealous and hateful, and Lu Xiaofeng's friend, Lu Xiaofeng will definitely think of him at the first time." ”

Hua Manlou said: "Ximen Fuxue is by no means an easily persuaded person. ”

Zhao Ping'an said leisurely: "But I believe that Lu Xiaofeng must have a way to impress him." Do you want to make a bet with me?"

Hua Manlou said: "What bet?"

Zhao Ping'an said with a smile: "I bet that Lu Xiaofeng will definitely be able to bring out the Ximen blowing snow." ”

Hua Manlou was unexpectedly silent for a moment before he spoke: "As a peerless swordsman, the owner of Ximen Zhuang must have the best demeanor in the contemporary era. ”

Zhao Ping'an was about to speak, but suddenly paused.

He had already seen Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen blowing snow.

One was dressed in a bright red cloak, and the other was dressed in white like snow.

Zhao Ping'an has always rarely admired people, but when he saw Ximen blowing snow, he really admired Lu Xiaofeng's ability to make friends.

Not everyone can or would be willing to make friends with a sword. Simon Blowing Snow's whole person is like a sword, perhaps colder than a sword, exuding a terrifying chill all the time.

Zhao Ping'an originally wanted to say a few words, but he found that he really didn't have the desire to speak.

Some people may think that Ximen Blowing Snow is handsome and cool, but for Zhao Ping'an, Ximen Blowing Snow is by no means the kind of person he likes to contact.

So he didn't say a word, just silently listened to Hua Manlou talking to Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Blowing Snow.

It wasn't until Ximen Fuxue turned around and left that Zhao Ping'an let out a long breath: "Ruthless Sword Dao, it really lives up to its reputation." ”

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but retort: "Although the sword is ruthless, people are affectionate. ”

Hua Manlou sighed softly and said, "But his swordsmanship is too extreme, and with the improvement of his martial arts, he will only go further and further on this path, and there will be a day when there will be no turning back." ”

Zhao Ping'an said indifferently: "Since ancient times, sages have sought the Tao and understood their own ways. The owner of Ximen Zhuang takes the sword as the way, the sword is the way, the sword is the way of cultivation, the sword road is ruthless, if it can be completed on the day, break the seven feelings, the six desires, and stay away from the red dust, it will become a legend of the martial arts generation. Even after a hundred years, when the young man who learns the sword mentions the name of the owner of Ximen Village, he will still talk about it. ”

Lu Xiaofeng's face changed unpredictably, and finally said with a wry smile: "Hua Manlou, this friend of yours seems to have come out of the Taoist temple." ”

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "I forgot, I haven't introduced Brother Zhao to you yet." ”

Lu Xiaofeng laughed: "No matter who he is, since he is your friend, then he is also my friend." ”

Zhao Ping'an also smiled and said: "Lu Daxia is really like a rumor, he is a person who loves to make friends very much. Under Zhao Ping'an. ”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes then turned: "The King of Killers, Heavenly Sword?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "I've seen Brother Lu." ”

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly smiled again: "Fortunately, you are a 'Heavenly Sword', not a 'Heavenly Sword'." Otherwise, I would have broken out in a cold sweat just now. ”

Zhao Ping'an chuckled and said, "Although the owner of Ximen Zhuang is bent on pursuing the pinnacle of swordsmanship, he is by no means a martial arts maniac who will come forward to compete with swords when he sees someone. Moreover, Zhao is different from the martial arts he cultivates, and he has no idea of seeking a breakthrough between life and death. Brother Lu doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly again, and quickly turned the conversation: "Hua Manlou, what are you and Brother Zhao doing in Wanmei Villa?"

Hua Manlou said quietly: "Why did you come to Ximen to blow snow, and why did we come." ”

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Did the King of the Great Golden Peng also find you?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "It can be said that it can be said that it is not." ”

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned: "How can you say this?"

Hua Manlou smiled: "Yes, it's because they did want to pull me into this matter, and if they didn't, it was because the people they sent were driven away by Brother Zhao without success." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Is it also Princess Danfeng who went to find you?"

Hua Manlou said: "It's Shangguan Feiyan." ”

Lu Xiaofeng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and continued: "Since you are not involved in this matter, why do you still want to come here?"

Hua Manlou smiled: "Because you are my friend." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes shone brightly, full of pride and gratitude-no matter who has such a friend as Hua Manlou, they are all worthy of pride.

But what came out of his mouth was a different tone: "This matter is complicated and dangerous, there is no need for you to get involved." ”

Hua Manlou didn't speak, Zhao Ping'an preemptively said: "You should know that once Hua Manlou decides on something, no one has ever been able to change his mind." ”

Hua Manlou smiled: "And what you know may not be the truth of the matter." ”

Lu Xiaofeng frowned again: "Do you know the truth of the matter?"

Zhao Ping'an shrugged: "There is no evidence for what we said at present, and we may not be able to win the trust of Brother Lu, but there is one person who has evidence there, and before going to find Yan Tieshan and Dugu Yihe, I suggest that we go to him first." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Who is it?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "Huo Xiu!"

The mountain is not high, but it is very beautiful. A few miles up the hill, you can see a small building.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Huo Xiu is here?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "It should be here, this is his lair, and it is fundamentally important." If something big doesn't happen, I don't think there's a reason for him to leave. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "This building is so important to Huo Xiu?"

Zhao Ping'an said lightly: "Because this is the first floor of Tsing Yi." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened: "However, according to the King of the Great Golden Peng, the leader of the Tsing Yi Building is Dugu Yihe!"

Zhao Ping'an said: "The news he got is not necessarily completely correct. ”

Hua Manlou admitted: "No matter who is inevitably wronged, it is also inevitable that there will be times when others are wronged." ”

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly sighed and said, "It's a pity that Zhu Zhu is not here now." ”

Hua Manlou said: "Why?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It is said that there are one hundred and eight ambushes on the first floor of Tsing Yi. ”

Zhao Ping'an said leisurely: "Brother Lu will be frightened by those organs ambushing?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "No!"

As they spoke, they had already walked to the door of the small building, and there was a big word "push" written on the door.

Lu Xiaofeng pushed open the door and walked in.
