Lu Xiaofeng's Legendary Phoenix Dance nine days (1)

Chapter 1 Thin Knife

One hundred and three shrewd martial arts masters, worth thirty-five million taels of golden pearl treasures, all mysteriously disappeared overnight.

The impact of this incident is not only related to the survival and honor of the thirteen largest dart bureaus in the Central Plains, but there are at least seventy or eighty well-known people in the rivers and lakes, who are about to be destroyed and ruined because of this.

What exactly happened that night?

There is only one person who knows this secret, all over the world!

Cui Cheng knew that he had become so important now, and he would definitely feel that his life was not wasted.

But he didn't know. He had been in a daze for three days.

These one hundred and three people are all elites of the Central Plains Dart Bureau, escorting the largest dart in the history of the dart bureau. After passing through Taihang and leaving Tongguan, he suddenly disappeared in a small town under the Taihang Mountains.

Cui Cheng is the runner of the Qunying Dart Bureau and the only survivor in this incident.

According to Xiong Tianjian, the head of the search team, who had been urgently called for a day later, "We found him in a pothole in a local inn, when he was unconscious and dying. ”

According to Ye Xingshi, a famous doctor who accompanied the search team to Taihang, "There were six knife wounds on his body, although he was dizzy because of excessive bleeding, fortunately the injuries were not at the heart, as long as he found a safe place to let him rest for three or five days, I guarantee that he will recover his consciousness." ”

According to Hawkeye Seven, another leader of the search team, "Now he has been sent to an absolutely safe place to recuperate, and without the consent of all of us, not even a fly can fly in." ”

Xiong Tianjian is the Great Hero of the Central Plains, and also the uncle of Situ Gang, the chief dart head of the Qunying Dart Bureau, who is chivalrous and upright, and has always been very popular in the jianghu.

Ye Xingshi is the only lay disciple of the Shaolin Iron Shoulder Master, and one of the four famous doctors who have been renowned in the jianghu for a long time, with exquisite medical skills and recognized by the world.

Hawkeye Old Seven was the chief scoop of the Twelve Chain Docks, the power of the Twelve Chain Docks was far beyond the plug, even the black and white roads had his disciples, and at least five or six of the forty dart masters who guarded the darts this time had ever handed over posts under his door.

They were implicated in this affair only because they were the guarantors of the thirteen dart boards.

If they can't find it, not only will all the guardians inevitably be guilty, but even the Taiping Palace that entrusted them with the dart will not be able to get rid of it.

Of course, all the guarantors are also well-known people with great status in the jianghu, and almost all of the Nine Gangs and Seven Sects of the Central Plains Wulin are implicated.

They found Cui Cheng the day before the Duanyang Festival, and it is now the eighth day of the first month of May.

According to the owner of the third village of the twelve consecutive docks responsible for taking care of Cui Cheng, "He woke up once last night, drank half a bowl of ginseng soup, untied his hand once, and waited for us to change the medicine for him before he fell asleep." ”

According to Xiao Hongzhu, the wife of Hawkeye Old Seven, "There is no blood in the feces he has solved, and this morning he was able to ask for water to drink, and he looked at me and smiled." ”

Cheng Zhong and Xiao Hongzhu were both Hawkeye Old Seven's closest confidants, and only they could get close to Cui Cheng.

Judging from Cui Cheng's injury, although it is not appropriate to be tired now, this matter is undoubtedly far more important than his injury, as long as he can speak, he must not wait any longer.

All the people involved in this matter have now arrived at the general village of the Twelve Chain Docks, and even the sons of the Taiping King have come with their guards.

Now of course Cui Cheng must not die!

What kind of place the Twelve Chain Docks are, almost no one in the jianghu has ever really understood, it is not only a place, but also a very large organization.

The power of this organization is extremely widespread, the elements are very complex, and they all have a share in both black and white, but they can all adhere to one principle

"Do not harm nature and reason, do not take advantage of people in danger, do not deceive the elderly, weak women and children, and do not harm the poor, sick, and widows."

This is perhaps the biggest reason they exist to this day.

There are twelve villages in the twelve chains, which are no different from ordinary villages and villages from the outside, in fact, their defense is extremely tight, their organization is more tight, and without their waist cards and passwords, it is difficult for anyone to enter their mountains.

The garrison of hawkeye old seven is called "Hawkeye", and all the actions and orders of the twelve serial dock subordinates are directly issued by "Hawkeye".

At noon in Duanyang, Cui Cheng had already been sent to the "Eagle Eye" chamber, and it was necessary to go through five well-defended iron gates to enter this secret room, and the only people who could enter and exit freely were Cheng Zhong and Xiao Hongzhu. Now they are here to accompany Cui Cheng.

Cheng Zhongcheng is heavy-handed, and slightly skilled in medicine, Xiao Hongzhu is gentle and clever, his heart is as delicate as hair, the four sides of the secret room are walls, all of which are whole pieces of granite, and the iron door is not only guarded by people changing shifts all day, but also equipped with a large iron lock made by famous craftsmen, except for xiao Hongzhu and the two keys that Eagle Eye Old Seven have hidden, no matter who can't open it.

For this kind of defense, even the Taiping King's Shizi could not be dissatisfied, and smiled at Hawkeye Old Seven: "You are right, this place really can't fly into it." ”

However, when they passed through the five iron bars and entered the chamber of secrets, they found that Cui Cheng was dead!

Xiao Hongzhu and Cheng Zhong were also dead!

They had no wounds or blood on them, but their bodies were cold and stiff.

According to Ye Xingshi's judgment, "They have been dead for at least an hour and a half, and they were killed by a fast knife with an extremely thin blade, and one knife is already fatal!" ”

"Because the blade of the knife was too thin and the shot was too fast, there was not even a wound left."

"The fatal knife wound was undoubtedly at the lower end of the lobe of the lung. A knife stabbed in, and blood immediately poured into the chest cavity, so no blood flowed out. ”

This knife is so accurate, so fast!

It can be seen that the murderer is not only very good at fast knives, but also has a lot of experience.

The people who defended the Chamber of Secrets, who had followed Hawkeye Old Seven for more than ten years, were his confidants.

They pointed to the day of the oath: "In these two hours, except for Lady Xiao and Lord Cheng Zhai, there was never a third person in and out." ”

There were thirty-six men in this squad defending, and of course what the thirty-six said was never all lies.

So how did the murderer get in?

The Taiping King's Shizi sneered, "According to what you say, unless he is an invisible person!" ”

noon.

The exquisitely arranged hall was dull and hot, even the wind seemed to have been condensed, and as soon as the scattered hair fell, it was immediately stung by sweat, although there was a supply of alcohol at any time, but everyone still felt that their lips were chapped and their mouths were bitter.

Hawkeye Old Seven looked even more haggard, sad and tired.

He was an energetic, young-looking man, and at this moment, he seemed to be much older.

"How did the murderer get in?" Of course, there is no one in this world who can really be invisible. ”

He couldn't figure it out. No one can figure it out.

Everyone only knows one thing, if the thirty-five million two darts silver cannot be recovered, they will be responsible for compensation.

That's enough to ruin each of them! Even if the family is ruined, it may not be able to lose!

With their status, of course, they must not be able to settle accounts.

Fortunately, the Prince of Taiping's son was not an unreasonable person: "I can give you a forty-day deadline and let you go and chase this batch of jewels back, otherwise..."

He did not say it, nor did he have to say it, the consequences were serious, and everyone knew it well.

Having said this, he took his guards with him, and in any case, the forty-day deadline was no short.

Unfortunately, there is not even a clue to this matter.

Hawkeye Old Seven stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up, Xiong Tianjian was sweating heavily, he was already soaked through the three layers of clothes inside and outside, some people only had their noses to sweat, and they watched the beads of sweat drip down from the tip of their noses.

These people were all martial arts masters who sat on one side, and if they were in command in peacetime, they were already in chaos at the moment, and they couldn't even think of a little countermeasure.

Ye Xingshi suddenly said, "This is not the first time. ”

Everyone could not fully understand the meaning of his words, only to wait for him to continue.

Ye Xingshi said, "At the end of last month, the Yangtze River flew on the water, and while doing my daily routine inspection, I suddenly died violently in the water, and I was also asked by the children of their gang to identify the cause of his death." ”

Xiong Tianjian immediately asked, "His cause of death is the same as Cui Cheng's?" ”

Ye Xingshi nodded, "There are no wounds or blood on his body at all, and it took me three days of hard work to find out the knife wound under the leaf of his intestines and lungs, which is also fatal with one knife!" ”

Xiong Tianjian said, "He was stabbed in the water?" ”

Ye Xingshi said, "Not bad." ”

Xiong Tianjian's face is more solemn, the water nature of flying on the water is known as the first in the world, the murderer can stab him in the water, and the kung fu under the water is of course more refined than him.

He pondered, and after a long time, he said slowly, "I also remembered something. ”

Wang Yi, the prince of Huainan Wulin, who was known for his eagle claw power, rushed to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiong Tianjian said, "At the beginning of this year, the old owner of Songyang's 'Iron Sword Mountain Villa' suddenly died violently while practicing his sword in his Hidden Sword Pavilion, and no one knows the cause of his death. ”

He let out a long sigh, "Now I think that he was probably assassinated by the same assassin!" ”

The sword technique of the Guo family in Songyang has always been a secret that has not been passed on, and when Guo Laozhuang was practicing his sword, he would never allow outsiders to peek at it.

His Hidden Sword Pavilion was also built like a copper wall and an iron wall, and it was difficult for anyone to cross the Thunder Pool.

Moreover, his sword skills were extremely high, and a family heirloom iron sword was unfolded, and others could not get close to him at all.

Ye Xingshi frowned, "He was really stabbed while practicing his sword, and this assassin's sword is too terrible." ”

Hawkeye Old Seventh suddenly sneered, "Then shouldn't we just sit here and wait for him to kill us one by one?" ”

No one argued with him that his most beloved woman had been assassinated, and no one would be in a good mood.

Hawkeye Old Seven clenched his fists, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged one by one, and said loudly, "Even if this assassin really has three heads and six arms, he will really be invisible, I will find him out!" ”

How to find it?

After thorough deliberation, everyone finally decided on three countermeasures.

Divide all the people into three batches and do things separately.

The first group of people, led by Xiong Tianjian, went back to the town under the Taihang Mountains to see if there were any clues left in the inn where the dart masters were staying.

It is best to carefully check every household in the local area to find out whether any suspicious strangers have been there in the days before the accident.

They had listed all the martial arts masters in the jianghu who were good at making swords, and the second group of people led by Ye Xingshi went to investigate separately.

The main thing is to ask where are their people in the two hours from the early morning to the noon of the Duanyang in May.

The third group of people, led by Wang Yi, went to various places to raise funds, and the idea was 35 million taels.

These few things are obviously not easy, and everyone can't help but ask Hawkeye Old Seven.

"Where are you going?"

"I'll go find Lu Xiaofeng."

"Is that Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows?"

Hawkeye Old Seven nodded, "If there is anyone in the world who can find the murderer for us, it must be Lu Xiaofeng." ”

He was sure.

After passing through the ghost mountain villa, he was full of confidence in Lu Xiaofeng's wit and ability.

"It is said that this man is a prodigal son, wandering the world and making home in all parts of the world, where are you going to go to find him?"

"Where the rice dumplings are made best, I will go to find them."

He is also very sure of this.

He knew that Lu Xiaofeng was not only delicious, but also very good at eating, and if he didn't eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, wouldn't it be a very annoying thing?

It is said that the owner of Woyunlou's home cook is famous Gongqing, and the Huzhou zongzi made is excellent, and the local government uses eight hundred miles of express stagecoach horses to send to the Beijing Division every year, and the owner of Woyunlou seems to be Lu Xiaofeng's old friend.

"I'm getting ready to go there." Eagle Eye Old Seventh had already stood up: "The owner of Woyun Building has always been hospitable, Duanyang has only been three days, he will definitely not let Lu Xiaofeng go." ”

Unfortunately, he was still one step too late.

The owner of Woyun Lou used to be a beautiful man who was famous in the jianghu, but in recent years, he must have eaten too well and his stomach has gradually bulged, which undoubtedly made him very annoyed.

So when he speaks, he always unconsciously pats his stomach.

"Lu Xiaofeng has been here, and almost every year he has to stay for a few days around the Dragon Boat Festival." The owner of WoyunLou personally poured a glass of wine for Hawkeye Old Seven, "This is the bamboo leaf green I specially selected for him, how about you taste it?" ”

Although Hawkeye Old Seven did not come for the wine tasting, he still drank the glass of wine and immediately asked, "What about his people now?" ”

The owner of The Woyun Building sighed and said, "This year, his interest seems to be not as good as in previous years, he always seems to be a little worried, even if he has not finished drinking this altar wine, he must leave, even I can't keep it!" ”

It seems that he is obviously very concerned about Lu Xiaofeng, shaking his head and sighing: "He likes to take care of things too much, he can manage everything, and he should take care of what he shouldn't take care of, but he forgot to plan for himself, a person who has not yet started a family at the age of thirty, how can his mood be better?" ”

Hawkeye Old Seven could only smile bitterly. Then he asked, "Do you know where he's going?" ”

The master of the Woyun Building groaned and said, "I seem to have heard him say that he is going overseas to relax his mind." ”

Hawkeye Old Seven's face had suddenly turned sallow, "You mean he's going to go to sea?" ”

The owner of the Woyun Building looked at a white cloud outside the window and said slowly, "Now he must have reached the sea." ”

Hawkeye Old Seven began to drink, drank eight bowls in one gulp, stood up and left.

The owner of WoyunLou also kept him, only sent to the door, "He will come back in the late autumn, he will definitely come to me to eat mooncakes, you have something, I can tell him." ”

Hawkeye Old Seven said, "At that time, I only have one thing to do with him." ”

The master of The Woyun Building said, "What's the matter?" ”

Hawkeye Old Seven said, "Look for him to carry the coffin." ”

The master of the Woyun Building frowned and asked, "Who's it?" ”

Hawkeye Old Seven said, "Mine." ”
