Chapter 2 Young children and old people
Murong Feifei took his old friend's hand, tried his best to pretend to be in pain, and comforted his old friend softly, saying a lot of things like "friends are like siblings, wives are like clothes;
Murong Feifei then put forward his ultimate idea, and he begged Master Lu to supervise the manufacture of ordnance for him and equip the elite soldiers of the "Murong Clan".
Come straight to the point.
Master Lu has no other choice.
He is an old man with a large number of children and disciples, and once his scandal of "drunk and disorderly sex" is made public, he will not be able to save his face, and it will make his two daughters and son-in-law, and even the entire "wonderful hand family" ashamed.
Under the trade-off, Master Lu had no choice but to compromise.
In order not to drag the "Miaoshou clan" into the chariot of the "Murong clan" to restore the country, in order not to implicate his daughter and son-in-law, Master Lu resolutely passed the position of the head of the family to his son-in-law Xiaoxiao, and he quietly said goodbye.
Master Lu, who changed to the identity of the fire foreman, lived in seclusion in the "Hanshan Temple" under the extraordinary arrangement of Murong Fei.
This stay is ten years.
In the past ten years, Master Lu, with an extraordinary sense of guilt for Murong, has devoted himself to building and developing hundreds of novel military equipment for the "Murong Clan";
Over the years, in order to stabilize Master Lu, Murong Feifei would sometimes instruct his wife Dongfang Xingxing to go up the mountain as a pilgrim and go to the "Hanshan Temple" to have a tryst with Master Lu. Master Lu was deeply obsessed with Mrs. Murong and couldn't extricate himself, and spared no effort to contribute wisdom and craftsmanship to Murong Extraordinary. Siege equipment, artillery explosives, and even "wooden oxen and horses" emerged in batches after stealing joy with Mrs. Murong again and again.
Not long ago, the "lustful demon" in the rivers and lakes rejoiced in the Buddha, and after successively killing and poisoning the famous ladies of several major families in the "Jiangnan", he left a book in an attempt to get his hands on Murong Xiaowu, Murong Xiaowu, the youngest daughter of Murong Feifei's most beloved daughter. Just in case, Murong Feifei had a whim, and asked his wife to ask Master Lu to lock his little daughter in a special iron box with a "Thousand Machine Lock" to make sure that everything was in order.
Then, Huanxi Buddha used his magic power to steal the iron box, and was chased all the way to the "Hanshan Temple" by the seven masters of the "Murong Clan", and was finally killed by Leng Ruoyan, the female killer of "Liangcheng" hired by Zhu Mian, the father of the other victim Zhu Min, the "Southeast King".
However, when Murong Feifei went to Master Lu to unlock the lock for his daughter, Master Tuolu, the only old fire foreman who could open the "Thousand Machine Lock", died mysteriously!!
Master Lu is dead.
He was dressed as a fire foreman and died foaming at the mouth in the side hall of the "Hanshan Temple".
In fact, no one cares how he died, everyone is more concerned about the safety of Murong Xiaowu who was locked in the box by the "Thousand Machine Lock".
Murong Feifei frowned deeply, he has always been a wise careerist, since he ascended to the throne of the family at the age of twelve, married the young lady of the "Oriental Family" at the age of fourteen, Dongfang Xingxing, at the age of nineteen and married the patriarch of the famous "Three Great Families in Jiangnan", became the "King of Rice" in Jiangnan at the age of twenty-five, and successfully became one of the "Four Friends" of the "Power Gang" second only to the "Three Offerings" in the year of his establishment, there is no problem that can stump him, everything will be solved easily, and he will be at ease.
However, this time, Murong Feifei was really stumped by the unopen box in front of him.
The "Murong family" has stood south of the "Yangtze River" for 800 years, and the contemporary masters are like clouds, how can they be stumped by an iron box?
"Father-in-law, this is just an ordinary box. As Murong Xiaowu's fiancΓ©, Ye Qiubai, a rookie of the "Wudang faction", couldn't hold back his anxiety: "Such a broken box, just give the son-in-law a sword to split it, and you still need to think about it from your father-in-law?"
Ye Qiubai is the youngest of the five great dragon fast sons-in-law of the "Murong Clan", and he is also the best one in martial arts, and the "Golden Leaf" behind him does have the advantage of cutting gold and breaking jade.
"Nonsense!" Murong Feifei scolded lightly: "I didn't know that your sword could cut the 'Thousand Machine Lock' and open the box, but Master Lu once said before his death that if you don't open the 'Thousand Machine Lock' correctly and uncover the lid of the box, then there will be at least seven 'Thunderbolt Bombs' of Jiangnan 'Thunderbolt Hall' in the box, which will burst at the same time, and at the same time, there will be 'Rainstorm Tianluo' of the 'Tang Gate' in Shuzhong shooting out in all directions, one is careless, Hugh said that the Xiao Wu in the box, even the entire 'Hanshan Temple' will be razed to the ground and destroyed!"
Ye Qiubai saw that his father-in-law was angry, and he didn't dare to contradict him, so he lowered his head and said, "What my father-in-law taught me is that my son-in-law is reckless. β
At this time, the eldest girl Leng Ruoyan of the "Liangcheng Inn" proposed: "My fourth girl, Ruoqian, is in the city, and the little sister of the concubine has always been very researched about the news of the agency, Mr. Murong might as well invite my fourth sister to give it a try." β
The third aunt, the "Wind Chasing Knife King", Feng Liandao, proposed: "Father-in-law, the younger son-in-law and the 'Iron Mask Cai Family' head 'Iron Mask Gun Tooth, the right hand of the Devil' Cai into the night, have worked together in front of the Xiangye Throne for many years, and they have a deep understanding of him; β
The fourth aunt "jade-faced beggar" suggested: "If you talk about who is the 'smartest person in the world', it is naturally the owner of the 'Tsing Yi Building' 'The country is picturesque, and the king is in the world' Mr. Bu Tsing Yi Bu, my father and Mr. Bu have a little friendship, and the little fairy is willing to repair a letter to ask for Mr. Bu's wisdom, and it is easy to unlock the 'Thousand Machine Lock' with Mr. Bu's wisdom." β
Wang Changguo, the head of the guards of the "Southeast Palace", offered advice: "Among the younger generations, since the 'Thousand Machine Lock' was made by Master Lu, although his old man is ancient, but his heirs are still there, can Master Murong quickly ask Mr. Xiao Xiao of the 'Miaoshou Ban Family' to help solve the problem overnight?"
Everyone strongly recommended the candidate in their minds, and everyone finally looked at Murong Feifei and waited for his decision.
In the end, Murong Feifei raised his hand and said categorically: "All four people are invited, who can rescue the fifth young lady, the honorarium is five thousand taels, gold!"
The news that the "Murong family" is seeking talents with a lot of money instantly made the entire rivers and lakes explode!
Because the cause of Master Lu's death was not found, Leng Ruoyan's master maid and the "Eight Guards of Ivory Mountain" were both "politely" stayed in the "Hanshan Temple" by the masters of the "Murong Family".
In fact, even if the people of the "Murong" family are not retained, none of them will automatically leave before the murderer is revealed. After all, being entangled in the suspicion of the "Murong Family", no matter who it is, he will not have a good time in the future.
It's been three days and two nights, and Murong Xiaowu in the box is already weak and has no sound, if he doesn't find a way to open the box, Murong Xiaowu will inevitably be trapped in this box.
On the fourth day, the majestic Murong Heijia suddenly broke in and said, "Brother, the guests invited by the four uncles have arrived. β
Murong Feifei was a steady person, and when he found out that Master Lu had died for no reason, he immediately ordered his four sons-in-law to send a lot of money to invite skilled craftsmen from all over the world in the form of a book of 800 miles, hoping to get their help.
Now, Master Lu, who can be relied on, has died inexplicably, and Murong Feifei can only rely on the four honored guests who have been hired by his neighbors.
Murong Feifei was in the "Five Phoenix Tower" at the bottom of the mountain, and met with four guests who had come from afar.
This building is the property of the "Murong family", the "Murong" family has a big business, this restaurant is not intended to make money, it is used as a person of the "Murong" family to meet foreign guests or collect information on the rivers and lakes, but today the restaurant is full of all kinds of people.
The bartender at the door of the restaurant stepped forward from afar: "The old man is good, the fifth aunt is good, the eldest aunt and the second aunt are the four of them, waiting inside." At the moment, he politely let Murong Weng's son-in-law in.
I saw that there were about twenty-seven or eight people sitting or standing outside, the uncle of the "Murong Family", Nangong Huashu, Mystery Monologue, Feng Liandao and Tan Xian sat in the main seat of the left compartment, and there were four people with seats in the opposite guest seat, and the others should be the entourage and subordinates of these four people.
The preconceived idea was a little girl with a green scarf veil, about fourteen or five years old, petite and smart-eyed, standing behind her were four disabled Tsing Yi guests holding umbrellas, with expressionless faces, and at first glance it was clear that she was a trained professional killer.
The second man wore an iron mask, with long hair over his abdomen, and a black satin flower, and his eyes were looking forward to it, and he was obviously a figure accustomed to giving orders, and behind his seat stood three men and two women, all with iron arms and hooks in their right hands, and only their two eyes were exposed.
The third person was a child of seven or eight years old, with pigtails and a little adult, sitting on a high chair, eating spicy roast meat in his mouth, and his feet off the ground dangling restlessly. With his round face, round eyes, and a golden-red cloak inlaid with white rabbit fur, he looked like a porcelain doll dressed in pink and jade. More than a dozen men and women, young and old, waited cautiously from side to side.
The last girl in white is ice and jade, sitting in a wheelchair, like the spirit of the wind, the spirit of snow, the soul of flowers, and the spirit of the moon, so beautiful that she is spotless, and she is isolated from the world. Behind the wheelchair, there are four equally beautiful and agile maids, one holding the piano, one carrying a chess, one holding a book, and one negative painting, divided into light green, light yellow, slightly blue, light blue four-color dresses, youth gratifying, beautiful.
As soon as the four aunts saw their father-in-law come in, they immediately got up to greet them.
Murong Feifei smiled and bowed his hand to the four guests: "I'm sorry, Murong has kept you waiting for a long time." β
Except for the disabled girl with inconvenient legs and feet in the tailseat, who bowed slightly, the other three guests all got up and returned the salute.
Murong Feifei came to the empty seat in the middle and sat down, without saying more, with an extremely depressed and anxious look between his eyebrows
