Lu Xiaofeng considered himself to be a romantic but not vulgar person.

Regardless of whether or not Princess Peacock was really that unlikable, using such a crude method to interrogate a weak woman really wasn't his style. However, it had to be said that this method was indeed very effective.

Right now, his chest was filled with hot blood, and he had a stomach full of words he wanted to say to his friends.

Thus, in a short period of time, the four people who had just finished saying "take care" were once again gathered in the reception pavilion.

Yang Muzhi saw that Lu Xiaofeng's face had turned into the color of a pig's liver. He silently handed over the tea that he hadn't drunk yet, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't even have the time to drink it. Even his breathing had just stabilized.

He didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "Let's talk about it one by one.

First, more than ten years ago, the Iron Shoe Bandit clearly died in the pursuit organized by Uncle Hua. How did he come back from the dead? "

When he heard about coming back from the dead, Yang Muzhi furrowed his brows and couldn't help but think of himself. When he raised his eyes again, he met Jin Jiu Ling's inquisitive gaze sitting across from him.

Just at this time, Hua Manlou brought the freshly poured tea in front of Yang Muzhi and stood up to refill Jin Jiu Ling's tea, successfully blocking the two people's line of sight.

Ignoring the little game between the three people, Lu Xiaofeng continued, "The answer is that there was no coming back from the dead. From the beginning, there were two Iron Shoe Bandits. The living one was naturally Song Wencao, and the dead one was Song Wencao's older brother, Yiyi. He was also the Iron Shoe Bandit who infiltrated Splendid Mountain Villa in an attempt to steal the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas."

This also explained why Hua Manlou couldn't sense that Song Wencao was the Iron Shoe Bandit. The Iron Shoe Bandit he met more than ten years ago wasn't Song Wencao at all.

Lu Xiaofeng continued, "The second matter is the close relationship between the two Iron Shoe Bandits and the Royal Family of Hanhai Province. Simply put, they were the pursuers of the former Princess of Hanhai Province.

At that time, the elder brother of the Iron Shoe Thieves also thought of stealing the Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas in order to win the favor of the former princess. "

At this point, Hua Manlou asked, "Brother Lu, did you ask about the situation of the old King of Hanhai Province?

Is he alive or …? "

From the keepsake that Princess Peacock brought, the situation was probably not good. This was also the question that had always troubled Hua Ruling.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Xiaofeng drank the tea in front of him in one gulp. He resolutely said, "The old King is still alive, but has been placed under house arrest by Prince Peacock. As for how to save the old King, we'll talk about it later.

As for Song Wencao and Princess Peacock, I have to add one more thing. They are father and daughter. "

Jin Jiu Ling, who loved to joke and adjust the atmosphere, laughed, "Is this what it means to be in-laws if you can't be lovers?" It was a pity that no one laughed.

"The third matter, you should remember the wine that the elder brother of the Hua Family used to propose a toast yesterday. That wine indeed didn't contain any poison that could harm the human body, but when combined with the unique soul-sucking flute of Hanhai Province, it could confuse a person's mind."

Almost as soon as he heard this, Yang Muzhi furrowed his brows. He had checked the wine, but unexpectedly, he had overlooked it. Fortunately, Hua Ruling had already claimed to be sick at the time and didn't drink the wine.

That's not right!

Song Wencao had taken Hua Ruling's pulse several times yesterday. The two of them had been together for a long time, so Song Wencao definitely had the opportunity to poison him unknowingly.

Furthermore, Yang Muzhi, Hua Manlou, and Lu Xiaofeng had even drunk tea in Hua Ruling's room last night!

Hua Manlou obviously also realized this matter. He generously held Yang Muzhi's hand and immediately thought of an idea, "Brother Lu, can you contact Brother Sikong?

If you can switch the flute, then there's nothing to be afraid of. "

Lu Xiaofeng, who was silently drinking another cup of tea, heard this and his eyes lit up, "Hua Manlou, you're really too smart!

Why didn't I think of this?

When I'm done, I'll contact Sikong Zhaixing. "

Jin Jiu Ling interrupted him, "Stop!

Lu Xiaofeng, I think you'd better contact Sikong Zhaixing now, sooner rather than later. "

This was indeed reasonable. Lu Xiaofeng walked out of the door and whistled with a strange voice. After a while, he called the falcon that he usually used to contact Sikong Zhaixing.

Only the three of them were left in the flower hall with a strange atmosphere.

Yang Muzhi lowered his eyes and was a little depressed, "Hua Manlou, I'm really useless …"

But before he finished speaking, Hua Manlou put his finger on his lips and laughed, "Muzhi, don't belittle yourself. You've already done very well."

But the more he advised, the sadder Yang Muzhi felt. He didn't know what to think, but suddenly, he felt as if his soul had been taken away.

Hua Manlou, who was on the side, felt very distressed. He didn't care that Jin Jiu Ling was still sitting and watching. He sighed and whispered in his ear, "I didn't want to tell you, Muzhi. You're wearing a duck-egg blue overcoat today, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Yang Muzhi froze on the spot. He touched Hua Manlou's eyes in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "Hua Manlou, say it again, say it again …"

Hua Manlou pulled down his hand and chuckled, "The day before yesterday, you were wearing a stone-green gown. Yesterday, you were wearing a blue and white gauze. Muzhi, you really love blue."

Yang Muzhi forgot his depression and was ecstatic. He held Hua Manlou's hand and asked, "Do your eyes hurt?

When did you see them? "

"My eyes don't hurt. It's just that when I woke up the day before yesterday, I started to see things vaguely. Brother Lu is really beautiful in a wedding dress."

Seeing Hua Manlou's relaxed manner, Yang Muzhi punched him. "You're good, Hua Manlou.

You didn't tell me such a big thing. How many more things are you hiding from me?

Tell me quickly. "

The two people's movements gradually became intimate, even if Jin Jiu Ling wanted to pretend that he did not see it, it would be difficult. Coughing twice, he elegantly went out the door to look for Lu Xiao Feng.

Without his disturbance, the two had nothing to worry about. Hua Manlou held Yang Muzhi's hand and kissed it. "You know, the Iron Shoe Thief has always been my sore point. In the face of a great enemy, I don't know if I can protect my life. How would I dare to tell you?"

Yang Muzhi was obviously happy like a child who had just eaten candy, but now he deliberately looked angry. "So you're planning for your funeral?

You want me to forget that you're looking for someone who cherishes me, right? "

Hua Manlou stroked his face. "Muzhi, there's something you don't know."

"Don't try to change the subject!

Tell me what it is that I don't know! "

"You're exactly the same as I imagined. Did God pity me and send you to me?"

Almost as soon as he heard this, Yang Muzhi immediately exploded. "It's over. I've been using Hua Ping's face for the past few days. It turns out that I'm Hua Ping's appearance in your imagination."

Hua Manlou laughed. "Muzhi, you little fool. Of course, I'm talking about your real appearance when you take off your disguise when you sleep at night."

He wouldn't say that he hadn't slept for almost two nights in order to deeply engrave the appearance of the person next to him in his mind.

By the time Lu Xiaofeng and Jin Jiu Ling stepped into the Flower Pavilion, they were already overwhelmed by the overwhelming sweetness.

Lu Xiaofeng poked the person next to him. "Didn't you say something to Muzhi?

Hurry up and do it, I beg you. "

Jin Jiu Ling was a magnanimous person. He was too lazy to hide his likes and dislikes. He did have an unusually good impression of Yang Muzhi. Now that he heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, he laughed loudly. "Then I'll count on your auspicious words."

So the four of them sat down and returned to the topic at hand.

Lu Xiaofeng only glanced at Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou when he felt his eyes hurt. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where was I just now?"

At the same time, Jin Jiu Ling patted him on the shoulder. "The third thing, the spiked wine, the soul-absorbing flute, and the mind."

Lu Xiaofeng continued, "The third thing is no longer a problem with Sikong Zhaixing. Now let's talk about the fourth thing, which is also the most important thing. Prince Peacock will sneak into Splendid Mountain Villa tonight at night to find Uncle Hua and ask for the real Jade Buddha Of The Vast Seas. When the time comes, Song Wencao will be by his side the whole time."

Yang Muzhi slightly pulled back from his joy. "Does that mean that the time between now and night will be safe?"

Lu Xiaofeng rhythmically tapped the table with his fingers and nodded. "That's right. So we might as well discuss the division of labor for tonight.

After we've finished discussing, we'll go and check the time with Uncle Hua. "

Hua Manlou slightly frowned. He didn't want his father to put himself in danger, but he couldn't change his father's temper. He could only do his best to ensure his father's safety in every detail.

Thinking of the topic they'd discussed before, he raised it again. "Then should we release the fake news of father's poison?

This might cause Prince Peacock to change his plans. "

The remaining three people looked at each other and unanimously decided not to release the fake news. As long as Prince Peacock and Song Wencao pretended that the poison had just flared up when they arrived, it would be fine. This way, they could lower their guard.

After discussing every possible problem that could arise, the four of them heaved a sigh of relief. They agreed to meet two hours earlier that night and went their separate ways.

On the way back to his room, Yang Muzhi's footsteps were light as a feather. "Hua Manlou, do you not like me wearing green clothes?

When this matter is over, let's go and make clothes together, okay? "

Yang Muzhi's words were sometimes more effective than an imperial edict in front of Hua Manlou. How could he not listen to him? "Muzhi's appearance?

Naturally, you look good in anything. If you want to make new clothes, I'll naturally accompany you. "

His mood was already good, and after being coaxed like this, he became even happier. Yang Muzhi snorted twice. "Stop with the flattery. In the future, when you can see, you're not allowed to randomly look at other people, okay?"

Hua Manlou smiled and placed their clasped hands on his chest. "How is this a compliment?

Muzhi, you feel it yourself. These are my heartfelt words.

In the future, when I can really see, I can't get enough of looking at you. Why would I look at other people? "

Yang Muzhi was so embarrassed that he immediately pulled his hand back. His footsteps were light as he took a few steps forward. "Hua Manlou, you've learned bad things. You only know how to coax me. Don't you think it's mushy?"

Hua Manlou strode forward and grabbed him. He pressed his forehead against his, "Then if I wanted to coax you for the rest of my life, Muzhi, would you be willing?"
