CHAPTER XLV
Jin Jiuling is gone, and as the head of the palace, he always has a lot of things to do. It is impossible to accompany Lu Xiaofeng and Zhao Ping'an all the time.
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Where should we start now?"
Zhao Ping'an said: "When I'm hungry, I usually can't think of any good way. ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "The food in Wuyang City is famous all over the world, and you can fill your stomach wherever you go." ”
Zhao Ping'an said: "I just want to eat the most authentic and famous dish here." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What dish?"
Zhao Ping'an said: "Dragon and tiger fight." ”
Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "It seems that you are not only light and high, but also very talented in eating!"
Lu Xiaofeng obviously came to this place, put on a look of a knowing old horse, took Zhao Ping'an three times and two times, and then turned into a very narrow alley. The alley was very dark, and there was still mud on the ground after the rain of the previous two days, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides, and the facades were also very narrow, and there seemed to be some unsightly people coming in and out.
There was a small shop at the bottom of the alley, and there was a large stove at the door, and a large pot of things was stewed on the stove, and the aroma came from the pot. The inside was dirty, the walls, tables and chairs were blackened by oil smoke, and even the words on the signboard were so smoked that they were unrecognizable. But the aroma is so enticing.
As soon as they sat down, the shopkeeper had scooped two large bowls of meat soup from the pot for them, and the place didn't seem to sell anything else.
The meat soup is still steaming, not only fragrant, but also beautiful in color.
Zhao Ping'an found a spoon by himself and ate it with satisfaction. While eating, he sighed: "Sure enough, only in this kind of place can you eat the most authentic dragon and tiger fight." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "You seem to be very sure that I can take you to an authentic place." ”
Zhao Ping'an said: "Because I know that you are a friend of the Snake King." ”
Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a while before he said, "He's a good friend of mine, but I haven't come to see him for a long time." ”
Zhao Ping'an said: "Why?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Every time I see him, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”
Zhao Ping'an said: "No matter what, since you are here, you should go to see your friends." ”
Lu Xiaofeng was silent for a while, and suddenly made a very strange gesture to the guy in the store, and then muttered a few words of the local dialect to the guy.
So they saw the Serpent King.
The Snake King was leaning on the soft couch and stretched out his hand to Lu Xiaofeng with a smile. There was almost no flesh on these hands, and Zhao Ping'an had never seen such a thin person. Not only did he have no flesh on his hands, but his pale face was almost covered with a layer of skin and bones.
In such a hot weather, there was still a layer of tiger skin on the soft couch, and he was still wearing a jacket robe, but there was not a drop of sweat on his face.
Lu Xiaofeng had already walked over and held his hand tightly.
The Snake King smiled and said, "I can't imagine that you still remember me, a waste, and you still want to come and see me!"
Zhao Ping'an couldn't help but sigh too, he finally understood why Lu Xiaofeng hadn't come to see the Snake King for a long time. No matter who it is, he will not be happy to see his friend become like this.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but this time...... I didn't come to see you!"
The Snake King smiled, "Anyway, you're finally here, I'm already happy!"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I will introduce you to a friend, this is Brother Zhao Ping'an Zhao." ”
The snake king's eyes already lit up, and he said, "Is it the 'Heavenly Sword Evil Emperor' Zhao Ping'an?"
Zhao Ping'an smiled and said, "It's exactly below." He suddenly found that although the snake king was weak, he was a very bold person, and he was obviously very righteous. He felt that his impression of this person was actually very good.
Then, I might as well save you from Jin Jiuling's hands, Zhao Ping'an thought secretly. What's more, now Jin Jiuling himself is in dire straits, and Xue Bing did not come to Wuyang City with him, and it is probably unknown whether the Snake King will be killed by Jin Jiuling as originally arranged by fate.
The Snake King laughed and said, "I didn't expect that today I would actually be able to meet the most famous god of swords in the martial arts. He shook Lu Xiaofeng's hand hard, and said with a smile: "It seems that you not only love to make friends, but also very good at making friends, if I were you, I would definitely make a big glass myself." ”
Lu Xiaofeng finally smiled, walked to the table and poured two glasses of wine. On the table there are golden bottles of jade, and the wine is amber.
Before the wine could reach his throat, the guy who had led the way just now rushed in again and whispered a few words in the snake king's ear.
The Snake King's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes, please." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Do you have guests?"
The Snake King said, "It can be counted." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Should we avoid it?"
The snake king said: "No need, he will look for you in addition to me." ”
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned and said, "Look for me too?"
A faint voice sounded: "Yes, I am looking for you too." ”
The brand-new green cloth curtain was suddenly lifted, and a man in a blue cloth shirt slowly walked in.
The man was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a round face, a very kind smile, and although the corners of the eyes were wrinkled, the eyes were still young, with a kind of innocence and innocence like a baby.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Your Excellency is looking for me?"
The man in blue smiled and said, "Not only looking for you, but also for this Brother Zhao and the Snake King." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What are you doing?"
The blue-clothed man said, "I want to ask you and Brother Zhao a few questions, and I also want to ask the Snake King and his brothers to help me do something." ”
Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "Before you ask me questions, can I ask who you are first." ”
The man in blue smiled and said: "My surname is Liu, the willow of Yangliu, my name is Liu Changjie, the length of the long and short, the street of the street." ”
Lu Xiaofeng's pupils shrank, and he said, "Liu Changjie, the 'Shadowless Divine Dragon' among the nine famous captures in the world?"
Liu Chang Street: "It's just a bandit, it's not worth it." ”
Zhao Ping'an kept staring at Liu Changjie, and then suddenly said, "You shouldn't be here." ”
Liu Changjie sighed: "I don't want to appear here either, but the chief dart head of 'Zhenyuan' and my immediate boss have been friends for many years, and Jinsha River happens to be my boss's territory." That's why he had to transfer me to this case. ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Are you here to investigate the embroidery thief?
Liu Changjie: "The case of the assassination of Wang Shizi in Pingnan, naturally there is Mr. Jin and his apprentices Zhang Luo, in my opinion, it is more important to have the case of the embroidery thief." ”
When he said the word "Mr. Jin", there was an indescribable ridicule in his originally kind eyes.
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Regarding the embroidery thief, I have already told Jin Jiuling: it is likely that the Red Shoes Organization committed the crime. Does Brother Liu have any other clues?"
Liu Changjie said lightly: "I happen to know some about red shoes, with their ability, if they want to do so many big cases, there is a moat that can't be crossed." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "What moat?"
Liu Changjie: "Martial arts! In the red shoes, except for their leader, no one has been able to stab the eyes of Chang Mantian, Jiang Chongwei, and Hua Yifan. ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Maybe it's not necessarily their leader who takes action personally." ”
Liu Changjie: "It's a pity that their leader can't do it himself. ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Why?"
Liu Changjie: "You can go and ask Brother Zhao." ”
Lu Xiaofeng turned around, Zhao Ping'an nodded and said, "Gongsun Lan died under my knife two months ago. ”
Lu Xiaofeng was about to ask again, but heard a crisp sound of "Kala".
Lu Xiaofeng turned his head to look and found that the Snake King's hand had broken one of the armrests on the soft couch.
No one could have imagined that such a thin arm could burst out with such amazing strength.
The Snake King himself didn't seem to feel it, he just struggled to stand up, and asked loudly, "Which Gongsun Lan did Zhao Daxia kill?" His voice was hoarse.
Zhao Ping'an said: "The leader of the red shoes, Gongsun Lan, the eldest mother." ”
The Serpent King's stiff body slumped back into his chair, and tears suddenly flowed out of his parched eyes like a spring. He muttered, "Thank you, thank you." ”
No one would have thought that this good man in the market would cry with joy.
Lu Xiaofeng held the trembling shoulders of the Snake King and said, "This Gongsun Lan is your enemy?"
The Snake King gritted his teeth and said, "I don't share the hatred of the sky." ”
Lu Xiaofeng let out a long breath and said with a smile: "So only what you hear is the best news." ”
The Snake King looked at Lu Xiaofeng, and his eyes showed gratitude.
Zhao Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "I killed Aunt Gongsun, just because it was just a coincidence." Liu Zhutou won't bring me to justice because of this incident. ”
Liu Changjie also shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fortunately, there is no bitter lord who asked to file a case for her, otherwise the arrest of Brother Zhao is probably ten times more dangerous than the arrest of the embroidery thief." ”
Lu Xiaofeng had already helped the Snake King back to the soft couch, and then couldn't help but say again: "In the red shoes, except for that Gongsun Aunt, there is no one with good martial arts?"
Liu Changjie: "Although the rest of the people are not weak in martial arts, it is impossible to blind the eyes of so many masters." ”
Lu Xiaofeng was silent, and Zhao Ping'an said, "That's what Brother Liu wants to ask us?"
Liu Changjie smiled: "I thought I could get more clues about the embroidery thief from Brother Lu's mouth." ”
The Snake King said: "Then what is Liu Zhutou looking for me for?"
Liu Changjie: "I want to ask your brother to find out the whereabouts of the two people for me." ”
The Snake King said, "Which two people?"
Liu Chang Street: "'Bald Eagle' Lu Shaohua and 'Three-headed Snake' Meng Wei. ”
The Snake King changed color and said, "Both of them are also famous catchers. ”
Liu Changjie: "So I only have to come to ask you, because I can't find anyone to trust in the six doors of the entire Wuyang City." ”
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "You also suspect that Jin Jiuling is related to the embroidery thief?"
Liu Changjie was slightly stunned and said, "Lu Xiaofeng is really still Lu Xiaofeng." ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Liu Zhutou doesn't have to praise me, but Mrs. Xue, the 'needle god', said personally that the embroidery in the hands of the embroidery thief was made by a woman, how can this be explained?"
Liu Changjie: "That embroidery, can Brother Lu give it to the next view?"
