The God of Flowers Also Bows

Chapter 7

Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou walked towards the main hall at a leisurely pace. Their leisurely postures didn't show that they were being restrained by others at all. Instead, it was as if they were taking a stroll in their own backyard.

Almost as soon as they entered the main hall, they saw Shangguan Danfeng throw a coquettish glance at Lu Xiaofeng. It turned out that honey traps were so common nowadays.

Golden Roc had a smile on his face. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "No matter what, you are already our friend. As a descendant of the Golden Roc dynasty, we have never used anything to threaten our friends."

It sounded nice, but why did Lu Xiaofeng come here? Wasn't everyone present well aware of it?

If he hadn't seen Yang Muzhi's jadeite forehead pendant in Princess Danfeng's hands, how could he have been willing to come?

Princess Danfeng saw the two of them come in and politely invited them to take a seat. She bowed slightly and handed over two goblets filled with wine.

The goblets were crystal clear glasses, but the light purple liquid inside was somewhat strange. They didn't know what was inside, but it definitely wasn't wine.

Yang Muzhi was more cautious. He pulled the sleeve of Hua Manlou, who was sitting next to him. Then he looked at Lu Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to the Great Golden Roc King. His expression was also weird.

Golden Roc, who was in high spirits, picked up his wine glass and said a toast, "I haven't drunk wine for many years. Today, I'll make an exception and drink with the three of you."

Princess Danfeng, who had been standing next to him, shook her head and took his glass. "I'll drink for you. Don't forget that Mr. Xiangzhi just helped you look at your leg."

Then she smiled and raised her glass to look at the three young talents with different styles. "This is Persian wine that my father has kept in the cellar for many years. I hope it will be to your taste."

Golden Roc didn't get angry when his glass was taken away. His eyes lit up as he looked at the three people present. "I ask the three of you to do me the honor."

As soon as his voice fell, Princess Danfeng couldn't wait to drink the wine in her glass. After drinking it, she praised herself. "It really is good wine."

Even if Princess Danfeng was a vain woman like Shangguan Xueer said, she still had to put on the airs of a princess. She couldn't learn from that old woman Wang who sold melons and praised herself.

Yang Muzhi, knowing what kind of liquid was in the glass, understood the meaning behind her words.. and drank the wine in his glass. "It lives up to its reputation..."

Since Mr. Xiangzhi, Yang Muzhi, drank the strange wine, Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng didn't hesitate. They raised their glasses at the same time. After drinking it, they were full of praise.

Golden Roc seemed to burst with life when he saw this. He laughed loudly and was very proud. "This is indeed a good wine that is hard to find in the world. But you three young people are indeed worthy of drinking my good wine."

For a moment, the guests were happy. Lu Xiaofeng tasted the colored sugar water in his glass and felt sad.

He was afraid that Golden Roc didn't want to take back his property because he received news of the three traitors. Rather, it was because his property couldn't support his daily expenses.

Saying that he was Golden Roc, a wandering youth who couldn't walk when he was old, was just a pitiful person.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart. He said casually, "Of course I can't drink such good wine for nothing. The justice you want, I will do my best to get it back for you."

Understanding the weight of this promise, Golden Roc's tears flowed down his old face. He kept saying thanks. Princess Danfeng couldn't help but cry when she saw this. She glanced at Lu Xiaofeng a few times.

The father and daughter cried sadly. Yang Muzhi smiled. He finally understood why Lu Xiaofeng was always helping others solve their problems.

It was because he was a person who valued friendship and righteousness. If someone treated him well, he would return the favor tenfold.

Although he was a wastrel whose name resounded throughout Jianghu, his pure heart had never changed.

If Jianghu was filled with such sincere people, being half a Jianghu person wouldn't be so unwilling.

He didn't know where Hua Manlou found the teapot and teacup. He smiled at him and handed him a cup of tea.

Golden Roc was watching Lu Xiaofeng talk with his blood boiling. Naturally, he didn't see the two's actions. It was quiet.

"Dugu Fang, although Liu Yuhen and Xiao Qiuyu aren't as famous as the three of you, they are still of help. If you agree to this matter, then take them away!"

Lu Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "It's best if they stay here."

Golden Roc, who seemed to be twenty years younger, didn't understand. "Why?"

Lu Xiaofeng sighed. "It's too modest to say that they are of help. Each of them is a first-class expert in Jianghu. However, if they were to face Dugu Yihe and Hosho, it would be no different from sending them to their deaths."

Golden Roc turned pale with fright. "Then what should we do?"

Lu Xiaofeng held back his laughter as he pointed at his two good friends. "Muzhi, Hua Manlou, and I are old partners," he said. "Hua Manlou and I are old partners."

Golden Roc didn't understand. He knew the two people Lu Xiaofeng pointed at. One was a doctor, and the other was a blind man. Could it be that the two of them were actually comparable to first-class experts like Liu Yuhen and Xiao Qiuyu?

However, before he could ask, Lu Xiaofeng continued, "But the three of us aren't enough. I still need a helper."

"Who?"

"Ximen Chuixue."

After the welcoming banquet, Princess Danfeng sent the three people out. However, everyone knew that she only wanted to send off Lu Xiaofeng.

Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou smiled at Lu Xiaofeng and said goodbye to Hua Manlou together.

Today's acupuncture had not been done yet.

Therefore, when Lu Xiaofeng barged in disheveled clothes, Hua Manlou was also disheveled.

Yang Muzhi aimed at the acupuncture points with one hand and inserted the needle. He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng from the corner of his eyes. "Who did you find to help you with acupuncture?"

Although Hua Manlou couldn't see, it didn't prevent him from adding, "I'm afraid it's someone he doesn't look forward to."

Lu Xiaofeng was angered by the two of them singing the same tune. "You two only know how to sing the same tune and bully me. Don't you have anything else to say to me?

Muzhi, you came here for a flower, and Hua Manlou, you actually let him do as he pleases? "

After putting away the last needle, Yang Muzhi smiled. "Could it be that you didn't come here for a flower, Lu Xiaofeng?"

With a snort, Lu Xiaofeng took out an emerald pendant and threw it to him.

"I don't know who replaced it. Although it's not as good as yours, it's still pretty good."

Hua Manlou put on his clothes and saw that Lu Xiaofeng still wanted to help Yang Muzhi get the pendant back. He couldn't help but smile.

"Someone has already sent his pendant over."

"Who?"

"Shangguan Xueer."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his beard. Apparently, this name left a deep impression on him. "This clever little girl. I didn't even notice when she was replaced."

Although he said this, he still liked her in his heart.

Hua Manlou sat down. "Do you know that the little girl you're talking about already has someone she likes?"

Yang Muzhi, who came out from the inner room, heard this and also childishly undermined each other. "What's the little girl's liking? Why don't we talk about the little girl's sister? She even gave away the token she stole with great difficulty."

Lu Xiaofeng raised his teacup and suddenly couldn't drink anymore. "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it."

"It's not appropriate."

"It's not appropriate."

What answered him was the two people speaking in unison.

The air was stifled. Lu Xiaofeng swallowed the words he was about to say.

Although he never knew that "people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of being fat", there was no reason to go back on a promise he had made. Now, he could only bitterly chat with his two friends about this troublesome case.

"After all, there are only three of us here. Shouldn't the two of you talk about why you came here voluntarily?"

Yang Muzhi was tidying up his acupuncture needles. Hearing this, he glanced at him. "Didn't you just say that I came here for a flower?"

Hua Manlou, who was fanning himself on the side, added, "It seems that Brother Lu is smarter than we thought."

After experiencing the unpleasant night attack and being ridiculed by his two best friends, Lu Xiaofeng suspected that he was on the verge of collapse. "Muzhi, Hua Manlou has learned bad things from you."

Hua Manlou laughed and finally let him go. "Princess Danfeng has a cousin called Shangguan Feiyan. She happened to come to Hundred Flowers Tower and also happened to confess to me the current predicament of the Golden Roc Dynasty."

After tidying up his acupuncture kit, Yang Muzhi, who had put it away, took over the conversation. "It can be seen that the two sisters are both good at seducing others. Shangguan Feiyan has too many flaws, but she doesn't know it. She is one of Tsing Yi Lou's people, but she still went to great lengths to steal a piece of Tsing Yi Lou's waist tag."

Lu Xiaofeng, who was stroking his beard and thinking about the problem, suddenly brightened.

"You're saying that she is one of Tsing Yi Lou's people?

That's a coincidence. I don't know if you've noticed the two people beside Princess Danfeng, but I suspect that they are also one of Tsing Yi Lou's people.

Even more coincidentally, Golden Roc told me that the owner of Tsing Yi Lou is Emei's current leader, Dugu Yihe. He even asked me to seek justice from him. "

Hua Manlou was a careful person. He asked a very important question. "Then is Golden Roc one of Tsing Yi Lou's people?

Or is it a case of a thief crying thief? "

Yang Muzhi shook his head. He had felt Golden Roc's pulse before, so he understood his situation very well. "Golden Roc isn't one of them. He doesn't have any internal energy in his body, and there are no red lines between his eyebrows."

Lu Xiaofeng's head was about to explode when he put all the known information together.

Golden Roc had asked him to collect the debt that had been owed to him for fifty years from his three old officials. It was already a headache, but now he had to deal with Tsing Yi Lou.

"If Golden Roc's words are accurate, there are two possibilities." This was Yang Muzhi.

"The first possibility is that he is lying. Dugu Yihe is not the owner of Tsing Yi Lou.

The second possibility is that he is telling the truth. Dugu Yihe is the owner of Tsing Yi Lou. Following this line of reasoning, his legs being crippled due to poisoning is most likely related to the people around him who have defected to Tsing Yi Lou. "This was Hua Manlou.

"When did the two of you learn to sing the same tune?

Forget it, forget it. Even if it's the Heavenly King, let's leave it for tomorrow. I'm going to drink. Those cups of sugar water made me uncomfortable. "This was Lu Xiaofeng, who had finally collapsed.

Yang Muzhi and Hua Manlou looked at each other and laughed.

"Seeing Little Phoenix so distressed, my mood is inexplicably very good."

"Although it's not because of Brother Lu's distress, my mood is also very good."

"Why?"
