The God of Flowers Also Bows
Chapter 16
When Lu Xiaofeng received the news that his two friends had stayed overnight at the brothel, he had a strange expression on his face.
On one hand, it was because these two had abandoned him. On the other hand, it was because these two had gone to the brothel.
To be honest, he knew the name of Hua Manlou's sweetheart, so he didn't need to ask to know that it was Muzhi's idea to go to the brothel. He also didn't know how upset Hua Manlou must have been at the time to let him do as he pleased.
But when he saw these two, it seemed that the situation was different from what he had imagined. Muzhi seemed to … know something?
"Little Phoenix!
I'm serious, why are you in a daze? "
In the Jewellery Pavilion, the three of them sat around a table and discussed the Golden Roc case. However, Lu Xiaofeng was a little out of it.
"Ah?
Where were we? "
Hua Manlou poured a cup of tea for the man in green sitting next to him and kindly reminded him, "We were talking about Shangguan Feiyan and Princess Danfeng."
"I remember you said that Shangguan Feiyan had defected to Tsing Yi Lou. What's the situation with Princess Danfeng?"
Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou looked at each other and finally decided to say it himself. "Hua Manlou and I both think that Princess Danfeng and Shangguan Feiyan are the same person.
So, Princess Danfeng also defected to Tsing Yi Lou. "
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned. "Why didn't you say such important information earlier?"
Since Princess Danfeng was one of Tsing Yi Lou's people, then the probability that the owner of Tsing Yi Lou was Dugu Yihe was greatly reduced.
After all, there was no reason for one's own people to investigate one's own people.
If Dugu Yihe wasn't the owner of Tsing Yi Lou, then there was only Hosho left. Princess Danfeng was one of Hosho's people.
Thinking along this line of thought, it seemed that all the problems were solved.
Everything made sense now.
Hosho found someone to pretend to be Golden Roc and ordered Princess Danfeng to find Lu Xiaofeng to solve the case.
At the same time, he told Dugu Yihe that the owner of Tsing Yi Lou was Yan Tieshan and secretly tried to sow discord between the two.
The fact that Princess Danfeng killed Yan Tieshan was too much of a coincidence. Now, it seemed more like it was planned.
In this way, Huo Tianqing, the loyal butler who had a relationship with Emei, would naturally vent his anger on Dugu Yihe for the death of his benefactor. In addition, Lu Xiaofeng invited Ximen Chuixue …
"Not good!
Dugu Yihe is in danger! "
Lu Xiaofeng slammed the table and stood up. He roared and then looked at his two friends.
Originally, Hua Manlou and Yang Muzhi could understand what Lu Xiaofeng could understand. Seeing him act very naturally, they said, "Leave Hosho to us. You go and protect Dugu Yihe."
"Take care."
"Take care."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaofeng disappeared.
Yang Muzhi played with the exquisite teacup in his hand and smiled at the people beside him. "Little Phoenix has done enough. Now it's time for you and me to do our part.
Hua Manlou, are you willing to accompany me to Hosho's house? "
It was said that the house was a dangerous place with one hundred and eighty traps. Every trap was enough to kill a person hundreds of times. Yang Muzhi said it as if it was as easy as going to Hundred Flowers House.
Hua Manlou was even more relaxed than him. He chuckled. "If it's to accompany you, Muzhi, even if it's the eighteenth layer of hell, I'll still go."
"What if we die there?"
"If you die, I'll accompany you."
Yang Muzhi looked at Hua Manlou. Hua Manlou still had the same faint smile on his face as usual, but he had promised Hua Manlou life and death with just a few words. He was clearly a person who loved life the most. He shouldn't be so reckless.
"Even if it's for your sake, I won't die."
Hosho's house was on the mountain behind the Jewellery Pavilion. The two of them used their Qinggong to reach it in no time.
The vermillion door of the house was closed, but there was a big word on the door: "Open!" Yang Muzhi didn't think much and pushed the door open. Unexpectedly, it actually opened.
"I kind of understand why Little Phoenix would rather look after Dugu Yihe than look for Hosho."
"Why?"
"Because Hosho is really an interesting person. Moreover, he has friends who are Little Phoenix."
"Losing a friend is always a painful thing."
Yang Muzhi looked deeply at Hua Manlou. "Therefore, some friends can't be lost."
The two of them followed the words that were pasted on the walls of the passageway. Then, they walked into a hexagonal stone house. There was also a big word on a stone table: "Drink."
In the middle of the table, there were two bowls of wine.
This time, Hua Manlou acted first. "This is authentic Luzhou Daqu. Although Muzhi, you can't drink this bowl, you have to drink it."
Yang Muzhi laughed. He was a famous Mr. Fortune Teller. Naturally, he could smell the abnormal aroma in the air. This aroma was mixed with many kinds of poisons, and the wine in front of him was the antidote.
After drinking the bowl of wine with his eyes closed, Yang Muzhi saw the big word "smash" at the bottom of the bowl. Therefore, he very casually threw the bowl in his hand.
The exquisite bowl fell on the stone wall with a "clang" and instantly shattered into pieces. It was unknown what mechanism it triggered, but the stone wall suddenly began to move, revealing a secret door.
Behind the door, there were dozens of stone steps that led underground. As they followed the stone steps to the end, what greeted them was a room full of gold and jewels.
It turned out that this was where Hosho stored his wealth.
The owner of this wealth wasn't surprised at their arrival. Instead, he was waiting for them behind the door. He smiled and said, "Lu Xiaofeng is a good friend."
Hua Manlou's heart softened. "You are also a very good friend."
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have been able to break into this dangerous building so easily.
The hints stuck on the door, corner, and carved at the bottom of the bowl were all for Lu Xiaofeng.
Hosho couldn't bear to harm his good friend.
Because he had always been in contact with Lu Xiaofeng through letters, Hua Manlou and Yang Muzhi also knew what he knew.
Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou stood side by side. "You are already the richest man in the world. Why are you still not satisfied?
You found someone to pretend to be Golden Roc, and then you found Little Phoenix to investigate this case?
Or are you afraid that one day he will find out that you are the leader of Tsing Yi Lou, so you found a scapegoat for yourself? "
Hosho's eyes were very bright. He asked in a deep voice, "Young people, have you ever enjoyed supreme power?
Do you know what the leader of Tsing Yi Lou represents? "
Waving his fan, Hua Manlou shook his head and sighed. "You have already been stained with too much blood. Put down the butcher's knife and turn back to the shore."
Yang Muzhi continued, "Chasing power is not a reason for you to disregard other people's lives. How many innocent people have died because of you?
If you have nothing else to say, now is the time to settle the score. "
Hosho didn't panic at all. "Young people these days are too impatient. I have a guest here. Do you want to see her?"
Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou didn't expect Hosho to have a backup plan. They looked at each other and asked, "Who is it?"
Sun Xiuqing was an unlucky girl.
Since Hua Manlou and Yang Muzhi had both left Wanmei Villa for Shanxi, she naturally had no reason to stay.
However, there was a small accident on the way to Shanxi to find her master.
When she woke up, she was trapped in Hosho's building.
She experienced such a dangerous thing the first time she went down the mountain. She was afraid that she would be traumatized by going down the mountain in the future.
Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou were taken to the prison by Hosho. When they saw Sun Xiuqing, they were shocked.
"Miss Sun?"
Sun Xiuqing, who was trapped and couldn't move, smiled weakly. "We meet again. Sorry for the trouble."
Hosho said proudly, "Today, it's not up to you three to talk about family matters here. Do you see the mechanism here?
As long as I press my hand gently, the poisonous arrow behind this girl will shoot out. At that time, none of you will be able to save her. "
"Then what do you want us to do?" Yang Muzhi asked. Since they had kidnapped her, it was time to talk about conditions.
Putting his hand on the mechanism, Hosho laughed heartily. "Don't you all flaunt justice and morality?
Now I will give you a chance. If you two commit suicide, I will let this girl go.
Otherwise, hmph! "
Sun Xiuqing hurriedly shouted no. Hearing this, Hosho became even more arrogant. "You don't want it?
These poisonous arrows are not up to you. "
Sun Xiuqing smiled and said seriously, "I'm not saying no because I don't want you to press the mechanism, but because I don't want the two of you to do anything stupid for me. You are already a burden because of me. How can I let you lose your lives for nothing?"
As expected of one of Emei's Four Talents, she was fearless in the face of danger and loyal.
But before she finished speaking, the white-clothed swordsman appeared with a pitch-black sword.
In a flash, the iron chains on Sun Xiuqing's body were cut. Even Sun Xiuqing was held in Ximen Chuixue's arms.
The hero saved the damsel in distress.
Ximen Chuixue put down the girl in his arms. His sword was already at Hosho's neck. With a slight force, he was about to behead him.
"Heartless and unrighteous, you deserve to die."
Shangguan Feiyan appeared at this moment.
She seemed to have been hiding for a long time. When she saw Hosho being captured, she finally lost her cool and fell to her knees. "Hua Manlou, Childe Hua, please save Lord Hosho!
Aren't you the kindest person in the world? "
Yang Muzhi didn't like Shangguan Feiyan playing the emotional card, but Hua Manlou could see it clearly. "Miss Shangguan, or Princess Danfeng, you should understand that there are some things and people in this world that cannot be tolerated and cannot be forgiven."
Shangguan Feiyan was still unwilling. "But he saved my life. He is a good person!"
Her voice was tearful and sincere.
"Shangguan Danfeng saw me as a thorn in her side since she was young. If it wasn't for Hosho taking care of me, how could Feiyan live until today?"
"You killed Shangguan Danfeng?" So the person standing in front of them was Shangguan Feiyan herself.
"It was me. She wanted to kill me but was unexpectedly killed by me. She asked for it!
If you want someone to pay the price, then I will! "
That was probably the fastest time Shangguan Feiyan had ever drawn her sword. Even Hua Manlou and Yang Muzhi, who were standing not far away, couldn't stop her.
Shangguan Feiyan was dead.
Huo Xiu was also on the verge of breaking down. He ignored Xi Men Chui Xue's sword on his neck and rushed toward Shangguan Feiyan, "Silly girl!
I was using you!
Why are you so stupid? "
After he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou. "Since it has come to this, I have nothing to say. Lu Xiaofeng understands."
Then, he hugged Shangguan Feiyan tightly in his arms and let the sword that pierced through her pass through him.
Golden Roc's case was concluded.
