CHAPTER XXVIII

When they walked out of this mysterious cave, it was early in the morning. The spring breeze is cold and fresh, the green hills are verdant, and the dewdrops on the grass are far more crystal bright than pearls in the dawn.

Zhao Ping'an took a deep breath and said, "It's still more wonderful to have the outside world." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Next, are we really going to find the Great Golden Peng King, and then take off his boots to take a look?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "Before going to find the King of the Great Golden Peng, I'm afraid there is one more thing to deal with." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "Did you hear the sound of the flute?"

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had already heard it, and the sound of the flute was melodious and tactful, but with an indescribable sense of sadness and desolation.

Hua Manlou said slowly: "This seems to be mourning." ”

Lu Xiaofeng frowned and said, "The sound of the flute came from the front of the mountain, could it be that someone died there?"

Zhao Ping'an said: "There is also a building in front of the mountain. ”

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly changed color and said, "That is Yan Tieshan's Jeweled Qi Pavilion." ”

Zhao Ping'an nodded and said, "There must be someone dead in the Jewel Pavilion, and this person's identity is not low." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "We'd better go and have a look." ”

The jewels live up to its name, and the luxury is astonishing.

It's just that such a luxurious mansion is now shrouded in white, and the courtyard that should be noisy and lively is now quiet and shivering.

The person who is suitable for the stands in the center of the courtyard, long and elegant, handsome. It's just that on his face, there is an indescribable deep sadness.

Lu Xiaofeng was already greeting him: "Manager Huo." ”

Zhao Ping'an seemed to be talking to Hua Manlou, and he seemed to be talking to himself: "It turns out that he is Huo Tianqing, the head of the Jewel Pavilion." ”

Huo Tianqing showed a very reluctant smile and said, "Brother Lu." ”

Lu Xiaofeng looked at the white Jeweled Pavilion, and asked, "Which one in the pavilion has passed away?"

Huo Tianqing's eyes showed sadness again, and said, "It's the big boss." ”

Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "Boss Yan?"

Huo Tianqing was silent, just nodded.

Lu Xiaofeng changed color and said, "How did Boss Yan die?"

Huo Tianqing said: "It was killed by a girl, who claimed to be Princess Danfeng of the Jinpeng Dynasty." It's to settle an old account with the big boss. ”

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned.

The true and false kings of the Great Golden Peng have not been distinguished, but one of the three important ministers of the year has died.

Is the murderous Princess Danfeng really a descendant of the Jinpeng royal family, or is someone else fake? Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that things had become more complicated and unclear.

Zhao Ping'an suddenly said: "Although I have never met, but I also know that Yan Tieshan of the Jewel Pavilion is a first-class master in the martial arts, how could he be easily killed by a little girl?"

Huo Tianqing's eyes showed surprise and looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I haven't been introduced to you yet, you know Hua Manlou, this is Brother Zhao Ping'an Zhao." ”

The look of surprise in Huo Tianqing's eyes was even stronger, and he said, "Brother Zhao is the king of killers in the mighty rivers and lakes, Heavenly Sword?"

Zhao Ping'an bowed, Huo Tianqing was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I received a report yesterday evening that the owner of Wanmei Mountain Villa, Ximen Fuxue, appeared in 'Another Village' twenty miles away. ”

Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose, Ximen Blowing Snow should have followed him.

Huo Tianqing continued: "The jeweled pavilion is a landlord, and he has always taken it as his responsibility to entertain friends in the rivers and lakes, so I sent someone to send him an invitation and invited him to attend last night's dinner. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Ximen usually doesn't participate in this kind of gathering. ”

Huo Tianqing said: "I didn't expect him to come, but I didn't expect him to come, and he brought his sword." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's face changed again.

Huo Tianqing said: "After he saw the big boss, he only asked one sentence: 'Are you Yan Liben, the head of the inner treasury of the Jinpeng Dynasty in the past?'"

Lu Xiaofeng began to regret that he had told Simon Blowing Snow too much.

Huo Tianqing said: "The big boss was originally very happy, but after hearing this sentence, his face changed greatly, and he immediately asked to send off the guests." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's face was already pale, Yan Tieshan's behavior was undoubtedly a sign of weakness in Ximen Blowing Snow's eyes, and he didn't have to think about it to know what would happen next.

Zhao Ping'an said: "So Ximen Fuxue pulled out his sword?"

Huo Tianqing nodded slowly and said, "The big boss has eighteen personal guards around him, and they rotate in three batches day and night. Everyone can be called a first-class player in the martial arts. ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How many have died?"

Huo Tianqing said: "There are now eight coffins in the mourning hall, and in addition to the big boss himself, the six guards who were on shift last night are also inside. ”

Lu Xiaofeng only smiled bitterly, Ximen Blowing Snow's swordsmanship was originally a murderous swordsmanship. As long as he takes out the sword, even if he doesn't want to kill that person, he can't do it.

Huo Tianqing stared at Lu Xiaofeng and said slowly: "I have always been very confident in my martial arts, but when I saw Ximen Blowing Snow's swordsmanship, I was not sure that I could protect the big boss." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "How can Yan Tieshan still need you to protect?"

Huo Tianqing said: "In terms of martial arts alone, the big boss may still be above me." It's a pity that he is no longer a Jianghu person, but a businessman and an old man. The last time he did it with someone was probably at least a dozen years ago. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "And he is too rich, and his life is too comfortable every day." ”

Huo Tianqing sighed lightly and said: "Although the big boss still doesn't put down his practice every day, it's just to prolong his life and maintain his health, if he wants to fight with others for life and death, the person who dies must be him." ”

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Indeed, people like Yan Tieshan basically don't need to do it themselves anymore. ”

Huo Tianqing said: "Just when I was confronting Ximen Fuxue, that girl sneaked in from the lotus pond and assassinated the big boss. ”

Zhao Ping'an said: "What kind of secret weapon did she use?"

Huo Tianqing's tone suddenly carried an indescribable bitterness: "The poisonous needle is as thin as a cow's hair, and there is no salvation for those who are in it." ”

Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "You said that there are eight coffins in the mourning hall, in addition to Yan Tieshan and his six guards, who else is it?"

Huo Tianqing said: "It's a Xixi Qingke newly invited by the big boss, and I didn't know until last night that he turned out to be Su Shaoying in the Emei faction's 'Three Ying and Four Shows'." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes shone again, and there was indeed some kind of connection between Dugu Yihe and Yan Tieshan. This could be the key to breaking the game.

Hua Manlou didn't speak for a long time, and then suddenly spoke: "Where is the girl who calls herself Princess Danfeng now?"

Huo Tianqing said coldly: "Let's go, I'm going with Ximen Blowing Snow." ”

There was another layer of indescribable expression on his handsome face, as if mixed with sadness and sarcasm, as well as a little helplessness.

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Yan Tieshan was originally a courtier of the Jinpeng Dynasty fifty years ago, if it was really Princess Danfeng who killed him, then this matter would not only be a personal grudge, but not something that others could interfere with." ”

Huo Tianqing nodded slowly and said, "I understand." ”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you don't have to blame yourself. ”

Huo Tianqing was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I have always wondered why Ximen Chuixue came to trouble the big boss, but now I understand." ”

Lu Xiaofeng's smile was already a little reluctant.

Huo Tianqing didn't look at him again, but slowly turned around and said, "The big boss is kind to me, if he really owes someone else, I will pay it off for him." ”

After saying this, his figure had already swept up, and in a flash, he had disappeared between the heavy pavilions.
