Anecdote of sword three crossing the bureau

All of a sudden, Tang Ziqi was overwhelmed by the sudden smell of powder, and subconsciously took a step back, and then realized that the woman in front of him almost completely bumped into him just now, and when he withdrew like this, the woman he was clinging to lost his support in an instant , turned in his own direction even more thoroughly.

Tang Ziqi, who rarely gets close to women in the real world, felt his whole body froze. At some point, Chu Liuxiang slipped between the two of them, and easily caught the precarious woman with one hand, smiling. He asked warmly, "Lian Yao?"

The woman called Lian Yao stood up straight with Chu Liuxiang's strength, and said with a gentle smile, "Xiang Shuai came to Jianghualou, why didn't he tell Lian Yao?"

The voice of Wu Nong was soft, it sounded soft and delicate, it was really touching.

Crimson flower building...?

Tang Ziqi stood silent for a long while and felt a little powerless. Chu Liuxiang must have known what this place was, and he drank tea here like a master but didn't wake himself up, as if he wanted to watch a play.

If it was before the acquaintance, Tang Ziqi must have never thought that the handsome and handsome Chu Liuxiang who is "smelling all over the world" has such a side, but it is very annoying.

On the other hand, Chu Liuxiang smiled in response to the occasion, that smile was not like the usual hearty smile, her brows and eyes were slightly raised without frivolous meaning, only a faint gentleness remained: "It is also because of my brother that I came here for a visit today, if you go alone Come here, how dare Chu not tell Lian Yao?"

After saying that, Chu Liuxiang turned his eyes away to look at the person who was frozen just now, but where can he see the shadow of Tang Ziqi at this moment?

Lian Yao carefully studied Chu Liuxiang's expression, slowly pushed her arms away a little and said softly: "If it was the young master just now, he would have slipped through the window."

Chu Liuxiang raised his eyebrows calmly, the window was indeed half open, the cold air outside washed away the rest of the charming atmosphere in the room, so he leaned against the window and said with a low smile: "Chu Liuxiang I still have something to do today, so next time I will definitely come here for a delicious cauliflower dish."

Lianyao in this crimson flower building is best at cauliflower, and the taste of flowers is added to all kinds of delicacies, and it has a special meaning when served with freshly picked flower branches.

However, wanting to eat Lian Yao's cauliflower last time was one of the most difficult things in the North City, but now Lian Yao looks at Chu Liuxiang with affection, and her voice is soft and tender: "Naturally, Xiang Shuai's appointment, Lian Yao couldn't ask for more."

In that way, there is no trace of coquettish and domineering in Jianghualou's oiran god, but the youngest daughter is full of posture.

Chu Liuxiang didn't go up the good stairs, but she also followed Tang Ziqi's example and jumped out of the window, walked along the wall and disappeared.

Lian Yao, who was behind the rest, stared at the teacup left by Chu Liuxiang obsessively, after a while she wiped it carefully with a handkerchief, and carefully put it into a sandalwood box, like treating a rare treasure.

Chu Liuxiang only thought Tang Ziqi's frightened appearance was really funny before, he never knew that a man would have such an expression of astonishment when he was thrown into his arms by such a beautiful woman.

But when he landed on the ground, Chu Liuxiang's eyes finally calmed down, and he suddenly remembered that after so long, he actually forgot to ask that person's name again.

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while, and finally decided to go back to the Lin family's coffin shop to look for clues. After all, if a good person enters the coffin shop, there should always be one or two people who know him.

The Lin family's coffin shop had just been burned to the point that there was nothing left. The broken walls and walls were left alone on the ground, and no one went to clean them up.Chu Liuxiang put on another mask at this moment, but he was no longer the middle-aged man before. This time he changed his name to Jiang Maozhu, a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River.

If it comes to the acquaintance of Jiang Maozhu and Chu Liuxiang, it is probably another legendary story, and it will not be too late to tell it when they meet.

Let’s say that when Chu Liuxiang arrived in front of the Lin family’s coffin shop, he heard neighbors in the neighborhood talking about this weird fire, and all the opinions were divergent, but they all pointed to the same reason——

Arson.

This Lin family coffin shop is a hundred-year-old shop. Most of the wealthy gentry in the North City come here to buy coffins. There are several types of coffins. The most expensive ones are usually made of nanmu or crystal stone. The coffin shop only makes wooden coffins, so the top-grade ones are probably Liuzhou Phoebe Old Houses (the old saying is coffins).

After casually asking people around, he heard people say: "This Lin's coffin shop has not been accepting business for a few days."

Chu Liuxiang was startled when she heard the words: "Why?"

The bystanders shook their fingers and said mysteriously: "Because this Lin's coffin shop has received a big business recently, there are four old Liuzhou nanmu houses, with a total of tens of thousands of taels of silver, tsk tsk, it has been open for half a year."

Rao, no matter how many wealthy gentry there are in the northern city, very few people buy old nanmu houses, let alone four at a time?

Chu Liuxiang suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked with a slight frown, "Do you have a name?"

Before the man could answer, he heard a cold voice coming in from the side, and the voice was also calm and unwavering: "Yes, there are all the ones for sale to."

Who is the person in front of him if not Tang Ziqi?He handed over a burnt and half-destroyed red book, the last page of which was neatly marked with a new business, four old houses, Chu Liuxiang's face sank after reading the name——

Guai Xiangzi, Gui Daozi, Magician and Wen Kangzi.

The four very good old houses are actually prepared for the four Tianshan monsters who haven't been out of the rivers and lakes for a long time.

And among these four people, one is on the white list so far, the other is dead, and one is missing, but only one Gui Daozi has disappeared.

Tang Ziqi didn't intend to explain why he got the ledger at all, he just handed the things to Chu Liuxiang and planned to leave.Chu Liuxiang was slightly taken aback, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to be wearing Jiang Maozhu's mask, and when she saw someone who was about to leave, she followed a few steps, and then asked in a quiet place, "Brother, this is...recognized by your face ?”

Tang Ziqi stopped in his tracks, and looked back at Chu Liuxiang in front of him. Perhaps it was because this person was usually too casual with his words and smiles. He seemed to be in a good mood and said, "Even if Brother Chu turns into ashes, I will probably recognize him."

The meaning of these words is actually very simple. After all, Chu Liuxiang's aura is too strange, and there are few such strange people in this world.

Tang Ziqi always speaks straightforwardly, but these words...why do they feel a bit like teasing?

Chu Liuxiang looked over in amazement, and saw Tang Ziqi paused for a moment, his gaze settled on the account book in his hand: "The account book was given to Brother Chu, and I have repaid all the love that was written down."

This time Chu Liuxiang didn't move, he just looked down at Tang Ziqi's account book, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "What's your name, brother?" "I'm a killer," Tang Ziqi seemed to have heard something funny, The lines of the face carved by the knife and sword did not tremble even a little, he just looked at Chu Liuxiang calmly, just when Chu Liuxiang thought he would not answer, he continued: "Tang Ziqi."

Chu Liuxiang was slightly moved: "Good name."

This time, Tang Ziqi didn't speak, he just raised his lips in a very small arc, then waved his hand and turned around to leave.

Chu Liuxiang opened the account book in his hand again, only to feel that Tang Ziqi was really unpredictable, but the facts did not allow him to think too much, because he saw the name of the orderer on it——

Lianyao.

The old house of the Lin family coffin shop has been famous for a hundred years, and there is already a set of unwritten rules. For example, no matter how famous the buyer is, if he wants to buy a coffin from the old shop, he must write his real name and surname in his own handwriting, otherwise he will be sold. Even if you pay ten thousand taels of gold, you won't sell it.

However, this name is actually in Lian Yao's handwriting.

Chu Liuxiang has been to Jiangxiang Tower so many times, but never felt as heavy as this time. He dragged his feet to climb up Jiangxiang Tower step by step, but his heart turned cold a little bit.

Jiangxianglou is singing and dancing, as always.

Chu Liuxiang knocked on Lianyao's room door a few times, and then the door opened in response, and the woman inside smiled softly, "Master, did you go by mistake?"

Lian Yao obviously didn't recognize Chu Liuxiang's appearance, so Chu Liuxiang didn't point it out, she just stood in front of the door and lowered her voice a little, with a three-point calm smile compared to the previous unprovoked flirting: "I'm in Suzhou Jiang Maozhu, Su Wen Miss Lianyao has a good name, I hope you will forgive me for taking the liberty to come here."

Lian Yao then sized up Jiang Maozhu, fortunately Jiang Maozhu himself is also a dignified figure, and he doesn't look like a disciple, not to mention that this cloud silk brocade is either rich or expensive, Lian Yao thought for a while, it happened Xiao Qianxi let the door open: "Everything must be done according to fate, Mr. Jiang please."

'Jiang Maozhu' followed into the door, and saw Lianyao covering the window, then she lit the incense sticks and put them in the incense burner, before she sat down at the table and stretched out her hand to add tea: "Mr. What's the matter?"

Fortunately, Chu Liuxiang is a person of this way, and he is very good at treating women, so he simply said leisurely: "My friend passed away, and I am here to go to Lin's coffin shop to find a good old Nanmu house."

Hearing this, Lian Yao's hands that poured the tea paused for an instant, but her face filled up the tea calmly and asked, "Mr. Jiang, but you just arrived in Beicheng today?"

Jiang Maozhu carefully watched Lianyao's every move, and smiled slowly when he heard the words, and said in an unhurried voice: "I went to the Lin's coffin shop once before I left, and I heard that Miss Lianyao was the last customer there. ..."

Before she finished speaking, the beautiful woman who had just said and laughed at Yanyan suddenly changed her expression, she got up in an instant and threw the tablecloth towards Chu Liuxiang, she was not as delicate and weak as before.

Under the tablecloth were densely packed silver needles, and the red marks on the needles were poisonous, and the distance was too close, Chu Liuxiang's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to run away, he saw the window opened at some point— —

A huge thing was placed on the window sill, densely packed needles shot straight in, and knocked down the poisoned silver needles to the ground impartially.

Tang Ziqi put away the thousand receivers, walked in calmly, looked at Chu Liuxiang and said, "I'll pay back the favor."

Chu Liuxiang nodded dumbfoundingly, then turned to look at Lian Yao who was beside her.

Lian Yao failed to succeed in one blow and was disturbed by others, she immediately pulled out a short dagger, and stabbed at Chu Liuxiang directly, the force was fast and ruthless, obviously not a day or two of effort.

Chu Liuxiang didn't want to hurt her, her movements were mainly based on dodging, and her body skills were extremely fast. Generally speaking, in the martial arts school, the emphasis is on holding one's breath, so the two of them seldom open their duels, but Chu Liuxiang has cultivated a unique skill Kung Fu, no matter how many words he said during the fight, he always looked calm and relaxed, but he recovered his true voice and said leisurely: "Lianyao, I just want to ask you a word."

Tang Ziqi didn't mean to intervene, but he didn't leave either, standing by the side as if watching a play.

Lian Yao was slightly taken aback, and the movements of her hands slowed down: "Xiang Shuai?"

"It's me." Chu Liuxiang didn't intend to continue to hide it. Before she could finish her sentence, she saw the woman in front of her fall towards him as if she suddenly lost her strength, with blood dripping from the corner of her lips. She looked a bit shocking, and Chu Liuxiang was stunned. Kankan caught the person in front of him and asked anxiously, "Lianyao?"

Lian Yao was embraced by Chu Liuxiang, and her eyes completely lost the usual charm. She slowly stretched out her hand and struggled to say something, but her voice was hurried and vague: "Xiao...fen..."

"Xiaofen?" Chu Liuxiang repeated, trying to wake up Lianyao's sanity, but saw the woman in her arms struggling for a while, with her head tilted to one side feebly, and she had died.

Only then did Tang Ziqi walk over like a ghost, looked at the tea on the table, then extinguished the incense in the room, and said in a cold voice: "The combination of these two is a deadly poison. She wants to It's Xiaofengtang."

Chu Liuxiang was startled: "Why?"

After a while of silence, Tang Ziqi said sadly and joyfully, "Because I am a member of Xiaofengtang."

Going around and going around, finally fulfilled the long-cherished wish, just to achieve the goal, can you really be happy?

Who can tell right from wrong in the world?

A shrewd life or a foolish life, so many people who have been in a hurry to and fro in the world are actually just because of that poor obsession.
