[Lu Xiaofeng] Temples are not as good as rivers and lakes

When Fang Yu returned to the room in Pingnan Palace, Ah Da had already finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus and fresh chestnut soup, and was resting against the wall with his eyes closed.But the moment Fang Yu came in, he opened his eyes and saw Fang Yu looking at him with a half smile.

"Hey, my lord, you came back pretty fast." Ah Da laughed.

"It's better not to smile with this face, it's a bit silly." Fang Yu said, "You're still on guard, has anyone been here?"

"Jin Jiuling once asked the adults outside the door why he wanted supper, and I was fooled." Ada said.

"What did you say?" Fang Yu asked.

"I've been in Beijing for a while, and I want to eat Hangzhou cuisine." When Ah Da said this, he imitated Fang Yu's voice and tone.

Fang Yu nodded, "That's right, I learned a lot. Thanks to you, I should be able to eat a table of Hangzhou dishes tomorrow. I don't know how well the cooks in the palace cook."

Fang Yu and Ah Da changed back to their respective clothes. Fang Yu said, "After you go back, you have three tasks. The first one is to tell the emperor to be careful of Wang De, but don't be too serious about it. The second one is to find someone to Staring at the Snake King, I heard that he is very famous in the black streets of the capital, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out. Third, Lu Xiaofeng will come to Pingnan Palace tomorrow, after he leaves, find someone to follow him, it doesn't matter if he finds out, The important thing is not to be discovered by anyone other than him."

"Yes." Ah Da replied.

"If you have any news, please let me know in time. If I need you to replace me, I will remind you when you come to deliver food at noon." Fang Yu added.

"I understand."

After Ah Da put the empty white porcelain bowl back, he left Fang Yu's room with the food box.After Fang Yu simply washed up, he turned off the lights and took a rest.

For breakfast the next day, Huamanlou and Fang Yu settled in their room.When it was time for lunch, Jin Jiuling sent someone to invite the two of them to a courtyard for dinner.

Sure enough, as Fang Yu expected, the table was full of Hangzhou dishes, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimp, eight-treasure tofu, sliced ​​Hangzhou sauced duck and a large bowl of water shield soup.

After Jin Jiuling waited for the two to be seated, he said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard that Mr. Fang wants to eat Hangzhou dishes. It just so happens that there is a cook from Hangzhou in the palace, so I prepared this table of dishes."

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Boss Jin has a heart. I still prefer Jiangnan cuisine after being in Beijing for many years." Then he picked up a chopstick, tasted it, and praised: "As expected of a chef in the palace, the dishes are very authentic."

"As long as Mr. Fang is satisfied." Jin Jiuling laughed and said, "Young man, try it too, see if it suits your taste."

Hua Manlou also knew that Fang Yu wanted supper last night, and was still wondering that he didn't have this habit before, and before he had time to ask today, he could only suppress his doubts and said with a smile: "It smells good already, It tastes better when you think about it.”

At the end of the meal, Fang Yu suddenly asked, "Why don't you see Shizi and City Lord Ye today?"

Jin Jiuling explained: "The prince is going to accompany the princess. The princess's condition has improved recently. I want the prince to be by his side to accompany her more. As for Lord Ye, he is practicing swords in his courtyard."

For a swordsman like Ye Gucheng, practicing swords at this time is a bit strange, Hua Manlou asked, "Is Lord Ye also practicing swords at this time?"

Jin Jiuling smiled and said, "Of course not, it's just that today is a bit special."

"Oh? What's so special?" Fang Yu asked.

"We got the news that Lu Xiaofeng has arrived in the capital. Since he is here, he will definitely come to try the palace treasure house. City Lord Ye has heard about his consonance for a long time, so he wants to compete with him." Jin Jiuling said.

"So that's how it is." Fang Yu nodded and said, "Then I wonder if Qi Tong and I can go to see the contest between Lord Ye and Lu Xiaofeng at night?"

"I originally wanted to invite the two of you to go with me." Jin Jiuling said with a smile.

Outside the treasure house of the palace that night

Fang Yu, Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling arrived a little later than Ye Gucheng. At this time, Ye Gucheng had already exchanged hands with Lu Xiaofeng who was dressed as a guard.

Fang Yu watched from a little distance, and could feel Ye Gucheng's sword energy.His sword was very fast, stabbing down from the roof, the light of the sword flickered like lightning that tore through the night sky, approaching Lu Xiaofeng's chest, and Lu Xiaofeng's back was already leaning against the wall at this moment.

It was said to be a sparring, but Ye Gucheng's move was a killer move. Fang Yu looked at it and couldn't help but sweat for Lu Xiaofeng.

However, Lu Xiaofeng is also worthy of being Lu Xiaofeng, he always has some special abilities.When the point of the sword was about to pierce his chest, his chest sank and stuck to his back.Ye Gucheng's sword was out of focus at once, and Lu Xiaofeng pinched it with two fingers in an instant, and the sword could no longer penetrate forward.

Seeing this, Fang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Jiuling glanced at Fang Yu and said with a smile, "Master Fang is worried about Lu Xiaofeng?"

"City Master Ye's swordsmanship is superb. I'm worried that Lu Xiaofeng's two fingers will be cut off by him, and he will never be able to use the same finger again." Fang Yu said, "Fortunately, Lu Xiaofeng always has some capital to survive."

Hua Manlou laughed and said, "Lu Xiaofeng is probably a little phoenix with nine lives."

"You say he's Little Phoenix, which is really flattering him." Fang Yu looked at Hua Manlou and smiled, "I think he's at most a fateful Lu Xiaoji."

Jin Jiuling laughed and said, "It seems that Lu Xiaofeng is going to make friends with City Lord Ye, let's go and have a look."

As soon as Jin Jiuling and the others came out, Lu Xiaofeng saw it.He was shocked and said, "Huamanlou? Jin Jiuling? Fang Yu? Are you there?"

"Of course we are here." Jin Jiuling smiled, "This is not a place to talk, let's find a place to sit down and discuss in detail."

Jin Jiuling brought the four people to a courtyard. Several jugs of wine and water were placed in the center of the courtyard, and Jin Jiuling filled them up again for the four of them.

Lu Xiaofeng discovered that Ye Gucheng was really similar to Ximen Chuuxue, with the same white clothes, the same cold personality, the same top-notch swordsman, and neither of them drank alcohol but only water.

Ye Gucheng drank the water that Jin Jiuling poured, and then watched Lu Xiaofeng refill himself glass after glass, a little surprised, "You drink a lot?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "And he drank very quickly. You seem to think it's weird?"

Ye Gucheng said: "Alcohol can hurt your body and mess with your sex, but your physical strength and intelligence are still at their peak."

"Actually, I don't drink like this all the time." Lu Xiaofeng smiled, "I only drink so much when I'm sad." After speaking, he glanced at Fang Yu and Jin Jiuling meaningfully, but Fang Yu ignored him at all, and Jin Jiuling just smiled when he noticed that Lu Xiaofeng was looking at him.

"Are you sad now?" Ye Gucheng asked.

"When a person is betrayed by a friend, he will always be very sad." Lu Xiaofeng pouted.

The other three naturally understood the meaning of Lu Xiaofeng's words, Jin Jiuling smiled and said, "You think we betrayed you?"

Lu Xiaofeng said with a serious face: "You already knew that I would come, and you also knew that there was a unparalleled sword waiting for me here, but you have been hiding by the side to watch the fun like Cao Cao."

Jin Jiuling said: "We do know that you will come, because you must come and try to see if someone can enter the treasure house."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "So you just wait here to see if I can get in?"

Jin Jiuling admitted, "But we didn't find you until you were on the roof."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you just wait to see if I will be killed by the sword of City Lord Ye?"

Jin Jiuling said: "You also know that he doesn't really intend to kill you."

"But that sword is not fake!" Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help raising his voice.

Jin Jiuling said with a smile: "Lu Xiaofeng is not fake either!", he is really a good talker, no matter who meets someone like him, he can't get angry.

Only then did Lu Xiaofeng fall silent, and no longer dwell on the matter just now, but he still felt a little resentful in his heart for why Fang Yu hadn't told him about Ye Gucheng in advance.

Fang Yu faintly sensed some resentment in Lu Xiaofeng's gaze, and felt a little apologetic in his heart. He was too hasty that night and couldn't explain everything too clearly, so he coughed lightly in embarrassment, and said, "At least from today on you We can be sure of one thing if you act late. If you can't even enter the palace's treasury quietly, it will be even more difficult for others."

"Isn't the Embroidery Thief a human?" Lu Xiaofeng choked on Fang Yu, then glanced at him, but Fang Yu didn't reply.

Lu Xiaofeng continued: "I really can't get in. Even if I have the key to the treasure house, I can't open the door. Even if I open the door and go in, I can't lock the door from the outside."

"When Jiang Chongwei went in that day, the door of the treasure house was indeed locked from the outside." Jin Jiuling said.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, "I know, so unless there is another way to the palace's treasure house."

"However, there is no such way." Jin Jiuling said.

Ye Gucheng didn't care much about these things, and he kept silent when they discussed the Embroidered Thief one sentence at a time.It wasn't until they were almost finished that they suddenly said, "Is Ximen Chuuxue your friend?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his hands, nodded, and then changed the subject, "There is someone waiting for me outside now, guess who it is?" The first thing he was worried about when he saw Ye Gucheng was that he would mention Ximen Chuuxue, Unexpectedly, it was brought up in the end.So when Ye Gucheng asked, he wanted to change the subject.

However, Ye Gucheng didn't want to change.

"Did you also fight against him?" Ye Gucheng asked.

This time he couldn't escape, so Lu Xiaofeng had no choice but to reply: "No."

"How is his sword technique?" Ye Gucheng asked.

Lu Xiaofeng forced a smile, "Not bad."

Ye Gucheng then asked: "Did Dugu Yihe die by his sword?"

Lu XiaoFeng nodded.

"Then his swordsmanship must be higher than that of Taoist Mu." Ye Gucheng sighed, and a look of excitement suddenly appeared on his indifferent face, "If I can compete with him, it will be a great joy in my life. "

Lu Xiaofeng stood up suddenly, "Where's the wine! Why is there no wine!"

Jin Jiuling said, "I'll get it for you."

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Jin Jiuling in surprise, "Can you get it?"

After hearing this, Hua Manlou laughed, "I'm afraid there is no place in the palace that he can't get in."

"Oh?" Lu Xiaofeng looked Jin Jiuling up and down again.

"You came to visit the palace at night, and you didn't first ask who is the new manager of the palace?" Fang Yu said.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "So it's Manager Jin! Please Manager Jin quickly take me to the wine cellar!"
