Huo Linfeng was wearing night clothes, but fortunately he returned to the inn before dawn. Squeaking open the door, he walked in lightly, a bowl of floats was covered with a linen cloth on the table, and the wooden barrel behind the screen was filled with bath water, which was already cold.
Du Zheng curled up beside the bed, hugging his arms tightly, probably very cold. Huo Linfeng walked over, not in a hurry to take off his clothes, and first stretched out a small mattress to cover the other party.
"Hmm." Du Zheng woke up, "Master...you are back."
Huo Linfeng said: "Go and sleep on the couch, there is no need to keep so close."
Du Zheng got up, rubbed his eyes, and reached out to change Huo Linfeng's clothes. He raised the tip of his nose and sniffed, then took a closer look: "Master, you smell so good, you smell like a girl."
Huo Linfeng blushed: "You're just a girl, go boil some hot water."
Du Zheng was full of suspicion, silently went to boil a pot of hot water, and waited for his master to take a bath. With his clothes off, he dipped a cloth towel and wiped Huo Linfeng's back, smelling the fragrance of his hair. "Master, you..." He beat around the bush, "How about the Extraordinary Palace?"
Huo Linfeng said: "I have been running around all night, and I still have to report to you?"
Du Zheng didn't dare to ask any more, but he didn't accept it in his heart, so he simply rubbed his back with the force of the grinder, one deep stroke and one shallow stroke, almost wiping off Huo Linfeng's old scar. After washing, Huo Linfeng went to bed and pretended to catch up on sleep.
The night clothes were piled on the chair, Du Zheng took them away to wash, shook his arms, and a light gray veil fell out. He picked it up and saw that it was fragrant and clean. After serving him personally for so many years, he could tell that it was definitely not Huo Linfeng's belongings.
Didn't return all night, dressed like a girl, a small handkerchief, maybe did something flirty last night!
After a long silence, Huo Linfeng turned his face suspiciously, only to see the boy clutching the handkerchief, his face turning blue. He didn't know why, so he stretched out his palm and ticked it.
Du Zheng reluctantly handed it over, twisted himself and squatted in a corner to wash the clothes. He thought to himself, Baoyue, Bizan, and Wansheng at home all look down on them, but it will be good when they come to Xiganling, the sinus will be opened, and the seven emotions and six desires will be in full bloom!
Taking a peek at Huo Linfeng, lying down, Merry lying down all night and day, the steel and iron bones meet the nephrite and warm fragrance, making people squeeze dry and suck all over their body, and they can only lie down when they come back!
In just a few days, he often followed him, and he didn't see this young master hooking up with others. Even if there is, which daughter of a good family hangs out with others in the middle of the night? No need to think about it, it must be the Chaomu Tower by the long river!
Du Zheng was furious, he tossed his wet pants and stood up, rushed to the bedside and glared at Huo Linfeng. Huo Linfeng was startled, and moved in, thinking that the idiot was bewitched.
"Young Master," Du Zheng said, "You are a dignified general, how can you go to Chaomu Building to sleep with a little prostitute!"
Huo Linfeng blurted out: "Stop slandering people, I just listened to a song!"
As soon as these words came out, the master and servant were all stunned, the sister who didn't sleep in the brothel, but also lingered in the romantic place, it was a certainty. Du Zheng heaved a sigh of relief, but his face was still fierce: "Master, didn't you spy on Bufan Palace at night? Why did you go to Chaomulou?!"
It's really rare, when the servant asked about the master, Huo Linfeng deliberately annoyed: "Yes, I got the silver taels by visiting Bufan Palace at night, and then went to Chaomu Tower to have fun, without delay."
Upon hearing this, Du Zheng immediately went to look through the night clothes. It's dripping wet, there's no brocade cloth, let alone silver taels, only a layer of strong fragrance melted in the water. Seeing this, Huo Linfeng wanted to die of anger: "Four thousand taels, it's all gone."
With a bang, Du Zheng knocked over the basin, and the water splashed all over the floor. He froze in a daze, rubbing his ears with his rough hands, fearing that he might hear wrongly. Four thousand taels... how many people can be fed! But this prodigal young master exchanged four thousand taels for a handkerchief!
Huo Linfeng lay on the bed and watched, he couldn't help worrying, fearing that this boy would lose his mind in a hurry. He explained: "I really only listened to the singing, this veil was picked up outside."
The matter has come to this point, the money is gone and it is hard to find again, Du Zheng turned the basin over, scooped up a few ladles of water and continued to scrub. After rubbing it twice, he rushed to the bed and stared at the handkerchief.
The objects floating out of the brothel are filthy, who knows where they have been rubbed... This ancestor is still holding it!
However, Huo Linfeng made the Hengwuxiang condense his attention, and made the sweetness of the milk sweeten his heart, and he was unwilling to throw it away. Putting his safety aside, Du Zheng snatched it: "You don't have to throw it away, I'll wash it for an hour, burn grapefruit leaves and smoke it before using it!"
Forget it, sooner or later he had to wash it, Huo Linfeng didn't bother to care about it, and fell asleep deeply under the quilt.
The Chaomu Building played and sang all night long, and when it was dawn, the wealthy went to the room to catch up on sleep, while the poor could only leave regretfully. At this moment, the seats are empty, the corridor is empty, and the brothel in the daytime is like an empty building.
In the remote room on the fourth floor, Rong Luoyun was nestled on the small couch, blowing the cold wind, the coldest in the morning, it woke him up. Squinting his eyes, sleepy and lazy, the arm hanging on the window sill was sore and numb, and he couldn't take it back for a while.
He waited obediently, recovered, got up and went to the pear wood shelf to wash up. Holding the water to clean the face, reaching into the sleeves and taking out the handkerchief to wipe the face, but I couldn't find it. I went to the side of the couch and looked again, but I still couldn't find it.
Rong Luoyun looked around the room in a daze with water dripping on his face, and when he looked at the window, he knew that he must have fallen out when he reached for his hand. He threw himself on the window sill, lowered his head and looked around, except for the heads of people coming and going.
At this time, someone knocked on the door, it was the old lady. Last night, she was still wearing a gold silk skirt and gown, and she was covered in gold and jade. Now she has changed into a clean black robe with dark blue lining, and only a silver hairpin in her hair.
Rong Luoyun said: "It's so lively all night, mother-in-law didn't go to rest?"
The nurse said, "I'll go to bed later." She put the soup cup down, and went to get three combs from the dowry box, "My lord, you drink the soup, and this old servant will comb your hair."
Rong Luoyun sat down and drank the fresh soup that had been stewed all night. The nanny stroked his hair gently, which was very comfortable. He didn't know how to boast, so he said: "When I was on my own, I couldn't hold it together, and I lost patience when I tied it casually."
The nurse smiled lovingly: "That's the young master's hair, it's smooth and smooth." Tie it up neither loosely nor tightly, and put on a silver silk crown. The bun is in the palace—"
Rong Luoyun said softly: "Grandmother, where did you come from the palace?"
The nurse was embarrassed, took a step back and slapped her mouth: "Look at me, I used to talk about dreams." She hurriedly opened this article, and then told the interesting stories of last night, and she was a little happy when she talked about Rong Duanyu's singing , Said that the visitor was very handsome.
Rong Luoyun thought, it's not a small background, she would only be satisfied if her sister was on stage.
The nanny said: "For the general, I guess he wanted to see the beauty of the girl, and then spent time with the little prostitute on the boat until dawn. I saw it. When I got off the boat, I didn't change my robe. I asked the little prostitute and found out that it turned out to be Yuanwailang from a neighboring state." .”
Rong Luoyun just listened to a joke, after drinking the soup, he went to see Rong Duanyu while the building was quiet. The other party fell asleep, and he was not willing to wake him up, let alone tell him that the handkerchief was lost.
The veil was Rong Duanyu's birthday gift to him. There used to be ginkgo trees planted in his home, so he embroidered ginkgo leaves. He was secretly wistful, like a child who did something wrong, he struggled and left quietly.
Back to the extraordinary palace.
It was still early, all the disciples of Bufan Palace were having breakfast, and after dinner they went to Miao Cang Terrace to practice. Suddenly, a disciple screamed, stuck out his tongue, and a small needle was stabbed obliquely in it.
With a wild smile above their heads, everyone looked up and saw Diao Yuliang, who was fourteen years old, squatting on the beam.
"It's what you deserve!" Diao Yuliang spat, "Dare to call me a jerk behind your back, I'm merciful, I didn't put the needle on the stool, or it will leak your balls!"
After saying that, he jumped down, and before he left, he took two vegetable bags and rushed to the Zangjin Pavilion in a hurry. As the sun was rising, he entered the room, and saw Lu Zhun with his coat up to dry his belly, snoring fluctuatingly high and low.
Diao Yuliang was lying on the bedside, eating vegetable buns, babbling, and it didn't take long for him to wake up.
"Who is it..." Lu Zhun muttered, squinting his eyes, "Disturbing people's dreams of wealth and honor early in the morning, you bastard."
As he spoke, he got up, dressed and clean, sat in front of the mirror and plucked his eyebrows, dipped a brush with a needle-nosed thickness into a little ink, and dotted a small mole on his eye that would bring wealth.
Diao Yuliang came over: "Third brother, it's so sunny, why don't you go catch fish?"
I usually call him "the third child", but since I'm a good boy to please you, then I'll allow it. Lu Zhun picked up the purse: "Wait for me to pack some broken silver." When he opened the cabinet door, he was dumbfounded, and the stacked silver disappeared!
Diao Yuliang was startled, those disciples would at most gossip behind their backs, how dare they steal money? He glanced at Lu Zhun, even if he entered the room through the window, he wouldn't wake him up, don't be a monster made by a pig.
After catching fish and running aground, the two hurried to the main hall, just in time to collide with the returning Rong Luoyun. Lu Zhun and Diao Yuliang yelled "Second Brother" together, holding Rong Luoyun from left to right like guardians of the law.
Rong Luoyun asked: "Why are you so affectionate?"
Diao Yuliang filed a complaint: "Second brother, the third child's hidden gold pavilion has been stolen."
It was the first time that the extraordinary palace was stolen, and Rong Luoyun believed it after repeated confirmations. Before he could digest it, Lu Zhun cried, "I stole a lot of money...a total of four..."
Rong Luoyun said annoyedly: "Stop being coquettish with me, you're obsessed with money."
Later, Duan Huaike also arrived, and the four of them gathered in the hall to discuss. Thinking about it, only the theft of the Golden Pavilion means that the other party came to Lu Zhun, and he was seeking money, so he should have been robbed by Lu Zhun.
Duan Huaike asked: "Third brother, who have you robbed recently?"
Lu Zhun said: "A team of guards was robbed outside the city. They are officials from Chang'an."
When Rong Luoyun heard it, it was Huo Linfeng? So Huo Linfeng has already arrived at Xiganling? Thinking about it carefully, I don't think it seems like, the dignified son of Dingbei Hou, Ding defends the enemy head-on, how can he bother to engage in sneak attack and revenge
After he finished his analysis, Lu Zhun whispered, "Is it really Huo Linfeng? But he's shivering behind the bushes, he's so useless..."
There are many doubts, and the only thing to blame is that Lu Zhun has too many enemies. Rong Luoyun simply gave up thinking about it, no matter who it was, since he had the ability to sneak in at night, he just had to be on guard. As for Huo Linfeng, it doesn't matter if he comes or not, anyway, sooner or later.
Lu Zhun asked, "Second Brother, what's next?"
Rong Luoyun pinched that face: "I want you to be honest." Let go, strode out of the hall door, and said to the disciples who were practicing on the Miaocang platform, "A team of fifteen people, draw up three teams yourself , listen to my order to capture the dragon array and set up defense tonight."
Buddhas come to trap Buddhas, ghosts come to catch ghosts.
Capture the dragon array, you can capture the dragon, let's see if that person's lightness kungfu is powerful, or his unique skills are exquisite.
In the inn, the culprit of the "Shenlong Invisible" turned over and slept until noon. With the tinkling of bells, Huo Linfeng opened his eyes, and saw Du Zheng setting the table and chopsticks by the table.
He leaned over and looked at the green vegetables and tofu, which made him weaker than Jiangnan women. Du Zheng said: "Master, you should be content. You only asked the shopkeeper to postpone the room fee after you got tired of talking. If you have something to eat, it will be good."
Huo Linfeng was wrong: "I didn't say anything."
Du Zheng snorted and said, "It's all too tight, and you can spend four thousand taels of music, how big is your mind? No wonder you are a young master and I am a slave."
Huo Linfeng turned back again: "It's you who have to act like a cow and a horse to repay me."
Du Zheng was choked to death, silent, sitting at the table with drooping face. Huo Linfeng got out of bed slowly, took a few bites of snacks, and without looking up, grabbed a piece of tofu and threw it into the opponent's bowl. Du Zheng was taken aback, his face, which had been blue for a long time, gradually faded, he picked up the bowl, and sniffed like a baby.
After eating, this young man went out with a determined heart, even if he begged for food, he had to let the young master eat meat.
Huo Linfeng was the only one left in the room, leaning against the window with his book in his hand, reading "The Mirror of Evil" while he had nothing to do. The evil mirror is the fourth floor of the eighteen hells. Tang Zhen named it this way, which shows the effectiveness of its formation.
Turning a page, the first attack comes into view - capture the dragon.
