Chapter 222: Emerge
Xiao Hualou's internal strength is mysterious, and when he walked out of Shenwei Hall, he had already recovered most of his internal strength, but Junyi's face was still gloomy, and the guards behind him were cautious.
Xiao Yuesheng stayed in Xiangyang City for a few days, and it was not until Guo Fu urged him several times that he was reluctant to leave Guo's mansion.
For Huang Rong, Xiao Yuesheng is quite affectionate, in her, Xiao Yuesheng has a unique feeling, both like a confidant, and like a loving mother, this feeling of admiration, he thought that since he came to this time and space, there will never be it again.
When Guo Fu was in Mission Hills Villa, she would inevitably feel homesick, but once she returned to her parents' house and lived for a few days, she missed Mission Hills Villa a little, and felt that staying in Guo's house, in addition to seeing her parents, was also very boring, and it was really not as interesting as Mission Hills.
As soon as the two of them returned to Mission Hills, they knew that there were already people waiting for them at Mission Hills, and they were sent by the Li Sect to announce the edict.
Li Zong was urged by the Queen Mother to have no choice, so he made a stupid move, and sent three edict envoys to wait in the prince's mansion, Linhuju and Guanlan Villa, as long as he saw Mr. Zixu, he invited him to enter the palace, and at the same time, every day the two people in Lin'an City had to go to the palace and Linhuju with a generous reward.
The royal rewards are very heavy, such as silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry, Zhenxi medicinal herbs, divine blades, and some tribute tea imperial porcelain, which can be described as dazzling.
Li Zong can't force it, but if you force it, you can, send it to the door, you can't accept it, even if Xiao Yuesheng and they know Li Zong's intentions, they can only commit it helplessly.
Strong favor, although he can't refuse, but can postpone a few more days, those royal things are also eye-catching, he doesn't put other things in his eyes, but those silk silk is an absolute boutique, snow silk, clear water silk brocade, etc., are things that money can't buy, give them to their wives, the best.
Although there were people waiting for the edict in front, Xiao Yuesheng had no intention of seeing each other, and appeared in the backyard, the girls would not enter the backyard, except for Xiaoyu and Xiaoyue in the Qing Secret Pavilion, there were no others, and Xiaofeng was still sitting in the Rejuvenation Hall.
"Childe, Sister Fu, you are finally back...... Just now, there's an urgent message coming!"
Xiao Yu's skills are profound, Xiao Yuesheng and Guo Fu appeared in the backyard at first glance, and Xiao Yu in the Qing Secret Pavilion in the southeast corner of the villa felt a sense of it, shrunk into inches, and appeared in front of them in an instant.
With her lotus steps, the moon-white snow silk pleated skirt rippled like a lake, the willow waist was ringed, and the jade face was smiling like a flower.
Xiao Yuesheng pushed open the door, and the three of them entered the house, and the warm breath suddenly poured in.
Xiao Yuesheng took the plain note, his eyes stared at it, and his other arm was opened, allowing Guo Fu to help him take off his mink fur, his movements were gentle and delicate, and the faint fragrance of his delicate body lingered in his nose.
Guo Fu is no longer the original eldest lady, no longer clumsy, serving her husband, she is very skillful, and there is no sense of jerky.
"Oh, it was sent by Hua Lou. Xiao Yuesheng's warm gaze left the plain note, and looked at Xiao Yu, who picked up two tea cups from the sandalwood table and walked to Nana in front of him.
"Well, Xiao Hualou wants to apply for a hidden killing order. Xiao Yu gently handed over the warm white jade tea cup, the faint fragrance of tea could not be covered, one was handed to Xiao Yuesheng, and the other was handed to Guo Fu, who had hung up the mink fur and came back.
The tea in the white jade tea cup is hot, but it is difficult to conduct heat in the jade, and the appearance is just warm to the touch.
"Hidden Killing Order?" Xiao Yuesheng's eyebrows raised, revealing a little surprise, and then shook his head and smiled: "Hehe...... It seems that he is really angry, no, no!"
He handed the plain note to Guo Fu, who was standing next to him, took the white jade tea cup handed by Xiao Yu with his free hand, and sat down at the sandalwood table.
The hidden killing order of Mission Hills Villa is like the evaporation order of the world in later generations, and with the hidden killing order, you can order the people of Mission Hills Villa in the whole city to execute on behalf of heaven and kill people in silence.
The last time Xiao Yuesheng issued a hidden killing order, the Nanshan Gang, the leading gang in Lin'an City, collapsed overnight, and the gang leader, several hall masters and dozens of Dharma protectors all disappeared into the world, without a trace, without a trace, and it is still an unsolved case.
The hidden killing order is like a national weapon, and it cannot be easily dispatched.
Xiao Yuesheng's surname, even if it is the Guanlan Bronze Order of Guanlan Villa, he rarely issues it, let alone a hidden killing order, any weapon, every time it is used, it will lose a bit of power, this is Xiao Yuesheng's unique thought, and besides, he doesn't want to make so many killings.
"I can't be sure of it, it's a trivial matter. Xiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her snow-white jade hand, elegantly took the plain note handed back by Guo Fu, carefully folded it, and put it back into the moon-white light sleeve.
"Huh...... , It seems that Hua Lou has fallen in love! Otherwise, he would not have made such an inconsequential application, huh...... Send two of them to help him. Xiao Yuesheng put down the white jade teacup, stretched out his legs, and said that he was comfortable and lazy, and smiled in a mocking tone.
Although Xiao Hualou's application is a bit of a fuss, Xiao Yuesheng still can't ignore it after all, although he believes in Xiao Hualou's ability, but after all, this matter is related to Sun Chuhui's surname, and it is better to be foolproof, so as not to make Xiao Hualou regret it for life.
"Well, that's the best!" Xiao Yu agreed, her graceful body turned, and the lotus step moved lightly, and she walked to the carved case under the window, took out a moon-white plain paper and laid it out, lifted the Zihao on the red sandalwood pen holder, and soaked the Jiao ink, and in the snow-white jade hand, the Zihao pen tip traveled quickly.
After a moment, he put down Zihao, picked up a delicate and delicate jasper seal on the upper left desk, and pressed it hard.
Xiao Yuesheng took the plain note that was blown by Xiao Yutan's mouth, glanced at it, nodded, and returned it to Xiao Yu.
An imperceptible vibration came from Xiaoyu's mouth, she pushed open the window, and in an instant, a white shadow flashed, and a bird that looked like a pigeon and an eagle, not a pigeon or an eagle, appeared on the case, and the change of movement was unbelievable, as if she was standing there, but she was not seen.
The whole body is white and flawless, the body shape is harmonious and beautiful, just standing still, it has revealed an elegant temperament, the temperament is quite similar to Xiaoyu, the eyes are black and shiny, like two shining black gems, smart and abnormal, looking at the three people in the room.
"Hao Li'er, send the letter to Lin'an Xiaohua Building. Xiao Yu stroked its beautiful wings and said softly.
Xiaoyu's snow-white jade hand is very much loved by it, touched by Xiaoyu, it slightly closes its eyelids, it is very comfortable, hearing Xiaoyu's words, it nodded lightly, but refused to leave, extremely attached to Xiaoyu's gentle jade hand.
"Go ahead, little one...... Let's play with Xiaoyu when I come back. Xiao Yuesheng watched it funny on the side, and urged with a smile.
Li'er opened her black jewel-like eyes and glared at Xiao Yuesheng who was smiling, as if she complained to him for talking too much, but she couldn't help it, so she had to let out a clear and pleasant crisp sound, complained, and grabbed the square-shaped plain note in Xiaoyu's other hand, and glanced at Xiaoyu reluctantly, and the white shadow flashed and disappeared in an instant.
"Huh...... , Li'er likes Xiaoyu so much, how did she do it?" Guo Fu looked interesting, laughed, and asked with some envy.
"It's nothing, Xiaoyu teases them all day long, so she will naturally be more intimate. Xiao Yuesheng saw Guo Fu's envy, waved his hand, was modest for Xiaoyu, and then smiled: "You often go to tease them, naturally it will be the same, their closest person is Yang Ruonan, that is a small play together." ”
"Yes, don't look at them if they can understand us, but the surname is still a child, and they are very playful, as long as they tease them often, they will be close to you. ”
Xiao Yu closed the window, turned around and walked back to Xiao Yuesheng's side, holding the teapot in her hand to help them refill the tea, and replied with a shallow smile on her hibiscus face.
Guo Fu nodded knowingly, stepped forward and pulled Xiaoyu to sit down, not letting her be busy anymore, glanced at her husband with bright eyes, and asked softly: "Big brother, do you want to go and see where Hualou is?"
She was a little worried, these guys were really dizzy, and they actually resorted to such indiscriminate methods, which was really despicable, and she was also angry when she looked at it.
Xiao Yuesheng waved his hand, stroked his black mustache, and smiled nonchalantly: "Fu'er don't worry, Hualou will take care of it, but those guys, I'm afraid I'm going to die......"
"But...... , Hua Lou must be upset now, in case something goes wrong......" Guo Fu hesitated for a moment, and worry appeared on her delicate face.
"Huh...... If this little guy can't cope with this kind of thing, won't he waste food in vain?
Xiao Yuesheng still didn't care, picked up the white jade tea cup, took a sip of fragrant tea leisurely, and sighed, the tea is really still his own good wow!
Seeing the anxiety on Guo Fuyu's face, Xiao Yu smiled and comforted: "Sister Fu, rest assured, Xiao Hualou is a disciple from Wanhua Pavilion, and this little thing is enough to deal with." ”
After all, Guo Fu has been married for a short time, and she doesn't understand what it means to come out of Wanhua Pavilion.
Without extraordinary qualifications and talents, without outstanding wisdom, it is impossible to enter the Wanhua Pavilion, let alone break out of the Wanhua Pavilion, in the past ten years, there are only a few people who have come out of the Wanhua Pavilion.
They are all top people in a certain field, like Xiao Chuanxiang is good at architectural design and learns the science of learning from things, while Xiao Hualou is cultivated as the head of a faction, that is, the so-called imperial art.
Not to mention Xiao Hualou, who came out of Wanhua Pavilion, even the people of Qianshan Pavilion were able to cope with this classic situation by simulation training.
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
In Lin'an City, from Shenwei Hall to Yongjinmen, the people of Shenwei Hall and the people of the Xiaoyao Gang poured into their nests and began an overwhelming search.
Today's Lin'an City, is the world of these two gangs, they are the head snakes here, even if they are so devoured, but they still act secretly, such as the gangs look no different from ordinary people, if they are not people in Lin'an City, it is extremely difficult to find out that there is something wrong, they will only feel that there are suddenly more people, it may be that the weather is good, and people want to go out for a walk.
Each of the dark department of the Xiaoyao Gang is proficient in the way of concealment, the art of hearing and seeing, and is extremely proficient in disguise, each dark department member is equipped with a shadow department and a stabbing department, and then with several gangs, form a team, divide the Shenwei Hall to Yongjinmen into more than a dozen regional lots, and then each team is responsible for a section, which can be searched like turning the ground.
Since Xiao Hualou left Shenwei Hall and returned to the Xiaoyao Gang, in a moment of anger, his mind was working, and a long whistle sounded unpleasantly to the human ear, summoning Li'er, who was soaring above the sky, and issued an application for a hidden killing order.
After sending it out, I calmed down in my heart, and felt that I had some violent waves, and it was a loss that the owner was not around, otherwise, a meal would be inevitable.
Soon, as he had guessed, the order to conceal the murder was refuted, but with the help of two people in the village, he made up his mind to ask the two to act in secret, and he walked on his own.
Compared with Xiao Yuesheng, although his skill is like a drop in the ocean, his heavenly and human sympathetic skills are already a little hot, and at a distance of more than twenty zhang, he can feel Sun Chuhui's breath.
The embroidery workshop is a residential area in the southwest of the city, and across a neighborhood is a wide road leading to the city gate, although it is not remote, but it is also quiet, and it is a good place for both movement and quiet.
Because it is close to the city gate, it is not the place where the rich and noble live, and those people are rushing to the center of the city near the palace, but the people of the embroidery workshop are close to the city gate, the transportation is convenient, and it is very convenient to start a small business, so there are no poor people here.
The Cheng family's house is located in the middle of the fiber embroidery workshop, which looks no different from the surrounding buildings, covering a small area.
It's just that the surrounding neighbors don't know that this fat, smiling, and kind-looking owner of the Cheng family is a world-famous Jiangyang thief - Jiang Mohan, the harrier who turns the sky upside down.
Listen to its name, you will know that its light skills are clever, but the meaning of turning the sky is not only light and clever, but also the meaning of turning the clouds and rain, its people are extremely high, and it has reached the realm of truth and falsehood, among the martial arts, there are very few people who have seen his true face, and no one knows whether his appearance at this time is true or false, which face is the real face.
This Jiang Mohan relies on his extremely clever disguise technique, turning over the clouds and rain, elusive, and ruthless, every time he steals, if someone bumps into him in person, he will kill people and extinguish his mouth, which increases his mystery, and he is ranked among the top ten on the imperial court's wanted list, but he is still at large.
Jiang Mohan also knows the principle of darkness under the lamp, but he settled down in Lin'an City, and he is kind to people in peacetime, always smiling and kind, and even wins the favor of the neighbors.
At this time, in the main hall of the Cheng family's house, the atmosphere was depressing and condensed, and the bright sunlight seemed to be unable to shine in, let alone dispel the cold.
In the antique hall, sitting in the middle of the main seat is a short and fat man, with a round face, round eyes, and a round nose, looking extremely happy, it is hard to believe that he will have a clever light skill, is the world-famous giant thief Jiang Mohan.
At this time, Jiang Mohan, who was sitting on the old wooden chair in the middle, his round face, not only did not give people a sense of joy, but made people feel chilled in their hearts, and his slightly narrowed eyes were cold, like flying knives.
Opposite him, there were four middle-aged men sitting opposite each other in two rows, with different appearances, handsome or rough, mediocre or clumsy, but all of them were murderous and awe-inspiring, and between the opening and closing of their eyes, the essence of light flickered, and their cultivation was obviously not weak.
"Alas, this time it's troublesome!" Jiang Mohan, who was sitting on the main seat, sighed heavily, touched his knees with his hands, shook his head and sighed heavily.
"Huh...... , Brother Jiang is too worried!" The handsome man who sat lazily on the first place on the right slowly put down the black porcelain teacup and smiled, trying to dilute the depressed and dull atmosphere in the hall.
"That's it, Brother Jiang is scaring himself!" The middle-aged man in the second place on the right had an ancient face and looked a little rustic, but at this time, he exuded a fierce atmosphere, and the urn voice echoed it.
In the first place on the left, is a middle-aged man with a mediocre face, with no characteristics at all, walking in the crowd, it is easy to be ignored, but his eyes are the brightest, at this time the mediocre face shows a thoughtful attitude, and he is silent.
The rugged and majestic man sitting at the bottom of him looked at his horse's head, and was silent, his big eyes shot a much thicker gaze than others, moving between the man next to him and Jiang Mohan, carefully watching the expressions of the two.
"This time, we really miscalculated!" The mediocre-looking middle-aged man rubbed his eyebrows, slowly spoke, his face was quite calm, and his solemn thoughts were about to come out, and he sighed heavily like Jiang Mohan: "Alas! ”
"It's my fault, I didn't find out their relationship, the old man thought that Shenweitang and Xiaoyao Gang could not tolerate two tigers in one mountain, who would have thought ...... Jiang Mohan shook his round head, his kind face was full of annoyance, and he touched the beard under his chin, eager to pull it down.
In fact, it is no wonder that although the Xiaoyao Gang occupies half of Lin'an City, the leader of the Xiaoyao Gang is very little known and mysterious.
Moreover, Xiao Hualou's guards are quite hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out, how can Jiang Mohan know that the handsome son who is with Sun Chuhui is not the son and brother who can be seen everywhere in Lin'an City, but the leader of the Xiaoyao Gang?!
"Actually, it's nothing,...... In two days, when they have relaxed and sent the people out, we will stay here, and they will not find anything at all!" The handsome man lazily played with the black porcelain lid and said in a casual voice, an understatement and full of confidence.
"Yes, Brother Jiang's cellar is so secret, they came to search for it, and it was in vain!" the clumsy-looking middle-aged man's urn voice echoed angrily.
This sentence, like a ray of sunshine, eased the rich atmosphere in the hall a little, and Jiang Mohan and the mediocre-looking middle-aged man's faces also stretched a little.
As a giant thief, Jiang Mohan has been at large for decades, living freely and freely, and he has his own extraordinary means.
The cellar he built was both virtual and real, and it was difficult for others to discover the real secret cellar, even if someone broke into the house and searched inch by inch, I am afraid that they could only find the cellar as a cover.
"That being said, this Xiaoyao Gang is really terrifying, far from being comparable to Shenwei Hall!" Jiang Mohan was quite confident in his secret cellar, but when he thought of the Xiaoyao Gang, his brows furrowed again, and he shook his head and sighed a few times.
The two people sitting on the left and right glanced at each other, looked at Jiang Mohan who hung his head, and his burning eyes were full of questions, could it be that this sky-turning harrier is old? This has to be timid? The pride on his body seems to have been drained away! Could the power of time appear in him?
"Brother Jiang, what do you mean by this?" The middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance stroked his smooth beard under his chin and asked in puzzlement.
Jiang Mohan glanced up at him, then at the other three people who were staring at him, sighed deeply, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from a few brothers, the old man has visited the Xiaoyao Gang, alas...... , I can only say that this Xiaoyao Gang is unfathomable!"
Listening to his words, the four people in the hall knew that this sky-turning harrier must have suffered from the Xiaoyao Gang, and it was a lot of suffering, otherwise, he would never expose himself to his ugliness.
"Well, looking at how quickly they reacted, and the strength of those few people guarding the city gate, you can see that this Xiaoyao Gang is extremely strong!" The rough-faced man sitting in the second place on the left suddenly said, but there was something in his words.
Their plan can be described as not inexhaustible, they cleverly kidnapped Sun Chuhui, and after succeeding, after some dress-up, they wanted to take Sun Chuhui out of Lin'an City and send him to the painting on the West Lake to hide, so that there was no way to find it.
However, the Xiaoyao Gang reacted very quickly, and before they could get out of Lin'an City, they had already noticed the abnormality, and the members of the dark department guarding the city gate were all sharp-eyed, and disguise and hiding could not escape their gaze at all.
Two of Jiang Mohan's five people were exploring the way, and when they saw such a formation, they immediately sent back a message that they couldn't take Sun Chuhui out of the city.
So they could only hide Sun Chuhui in the secret cellar of Cheng Mansion.
Jiang Mohan, who is half of Lin'an, is already sensitive and abnormal, and the actions of the Xiaoyao Gang and Shenweitang cannot hide from him, an expert.
Somehow, he felt that the Xiaoyao Gang and Shenweitang seemed to be faintly surrounding themselves, and under the weakness of being thieves, naturally there were some grass and trees that were all soldiers, did they really find something?!
"Master, there are a few people outside who want to see the master!" With the sound of footsteps, a knock on the door sounded, and a pale voice came, it was an old man talking, he was an old servant of Cheng Zhai.
"Who is it?" Jiang Mohan straightened up, his eyes were blazing, and he looked at the other four people with a wary face, and asked in a loud voice.
"It's from Kamuido,...... Sir, will you let them in?" asked the old servant in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Mohan and the two sitting on the left and right looked at each other a few more times, they have been friends for decades, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, just a few glances, they know each other's thoughts.
"Invite them here. Jiang Mohan said slowly, his tone indescribably solemn.
The faces of the other four people in the hall were not very good-looking, and they were secretly drumming in their hearts, could it be that they really came to the door?!
