As night falls, the soul-calling flags outside Huangfu Manor are moving in the wind, and two faint lanterns are hanging. The Jianghu guests who are keeping vigil are all silent, and the atmosphere is depressing and terrifying.
In that unnoticeable corner, two dark figures sneaked in quietly, it was Qiao Shifang and Lu Hanjiang.
Although the encirclement of the devil's path was as leaky as a sieve, it was not something that could be passed by even thinking about it. Thanks to Qiao Shifang's arrangements on the devil's side, they were able to sneak to the edge of the manor without alerting anyone. superior.
The two of them easily bypassed the patrolling attendants. Qiao Shifang, who was dressed in black and black robe, climbed on the wall. After some inspection, he turned to Lu Hanjiang who was also dressed behind him and said, "Brother Lu, there is firewood under this wall." house."
"Let's go in first." Lu Hanjiang said as he said, one person watched the wind and the other opened the door, and easily sneaked into the Huangfu family's premises.
After Qiao Shifang entered, he lit a stick of incense and stuck it in the corner, and said, "I just thought, the night watchman will pass by this door with half a stick of incense. Brother Lu, what are your plans?"
Lu Hanjiang calculated the time silently in his mind, then turned to Qiao Shifang and said, "Please help me, brother, to help me to the end, and go to meet Huangfu Yushu for me."
"Brother Lu, are you joking?"
Qiao Shifang's eyes became colder and colder. Lu Hanjiang made a fuss, and it didn't look like he wanted to cooperate sincerely. Although he claimed to have excellent martial arts skills and dared to accompany him to Huangfu's house, it didn't mean that he wanted to cooperate sincerely. He was so arrogant that he thought he could deal with Huangfu Yushu.
Not to mention that he is still in the base camp of the righteous Jiang Hu Ke. This is seeking death no matter how you look at it.
"The person I'm looking for is hiding in Huangfu's house. If Brother Qiao is unwilling to help, it's still too late to retreat." Lu Hanjiang had made up his mind, but this made Qiao Shifang even more confused about the other party's plan.
If it was just to borrow a knife to kill someone, it would be too risky. Qiao Shifang had not thought about the possibility that Lu Hanjiang would turn his back on him, so he just dragged him to Huangfu's house. If he got stuck here, he might not be the one to do it. Being dragged down.
The incense was still burning, time passed by minute by second, Lu Hanjiang remained calm, and Qiao Shifang was still hesitating.
Tap tap tap - the footsteps of the night guard came from outside the door. The two of them held their breath and concentrated. It was not until the footsteps faded away that Qiao Shifang said in a deep voice: "Brother Lu, if the situation changes, I will run for my life."
There is a high probability that he won't be able to defeat him, but Qiao Shifang is still very good at escaping.
"If I lose to that Huangfu Yushu, my dear brother can leave on his own and don't worry about me." Lu Hanjiang's words seemed very righteous. If the two of them weren't riding a tiger in the woodshed, I'm afraid Qiao Shifang would really be moved. one time.
"Since I have sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, I would like to ask Brother Lu to say a word."
Qiao Shifang's goal from beginning to end was to bring Lu Hanjiang to their side. They said that only high risks will lead to high returns. Now that he has taken the risk, the return must be enough.
He doesn't like those things that are invisible and intangible. Cooperation requires sufficient capital and equal status.
"After tonight, if my dear brother has anything to do, I will not shirk my duties. If there is anything I need my dear brother to help me with, please don't shirk me."
Lu Hanjiang made it clear. He raised his hand to Qiao Shifang: "Now, we are friends."
Qiao Shifang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and high-fived Lu Hanjiang as an oath: "Brother Lu, I recognize you as my friend."
After high-fiving, the two quickly put on their face-covering hats, one walked through the door, the other climbed through the window, and ran in their respective directions.
Jinyiwei had already investigated the Huangfu family's manor and knew in advance that Huangfu Yushu was staying in his room. Qiao Shi went straight to his destination without having to take a detour.
Lu Hanjiang, on the other hand, looked left and right. He didn't have the consciousness of a infiltrator at all, but looked more like an old man walking in his backyard.
Naturally, he had memorized the map of Huangfu Manor for a long time. The reason why he was wandering around like a headless fly was naturally because the brothers in the intelligence team were not omnipotent.
At least, there were only general signs on Huangfu's harem, so Lu Hanjiang had to look for it himself.
Fortunately, he had good luck today, but after walking around the garden, he saw an acquaintance. The person carrying food and going to the house was none other than Huangfu Xiaoyuan's personal maid, Xiao Qing.
Xiaoqing walked into the small courtyard, quietly stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, swallowed it hastily, and then pushed the door open and walked in. Unexpectedly, the black shadow following behind her like a gust of wind was one step ahead of her. Entered the house.
"who?!"
In a hurry, Xiaoqing seemed to have choked on the pastries she just had. She glared at the man in black who was standing with his hands behind his back, pushed the plate of pastries to the table with both palms, and immediately changed his palms into fists, making gestures. He wanted to be beaten: "How dare you break into our young lady's boudoir, you are so obscene, watch for a beating!"
Xiao Qing came with great momentum, her punching style was gentle and she walked in a nimble way. She punched out but Lu Hanjiang dodged it. She immediately turned her fist into a palm and struck directly at the opponent's door. The palm of her hand was like the wind, and she moved easily and nimbly. very.
Lu Hanjiang stretched out a hand, grabbed Xiao Qing's arm, and pushed his shoulder forward slightly. The little girl groaned and took a few steps back. Her lower body became unstable and she almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, a writing brush flew out of the back room. After being caught between Lu Hanjiang's two fingers, Huangfu Xiaoyuan's palms followed.
Lu Hanjiang threw away the brush and punched the slender jade palm. He saw that Huangfu Xiaoyuan's palms were intertwined. She was not wrestling with him head on, but stuck his fist like a golden lock.
Taking advantage of the force of Lu Hanjiang's punch, Huangfu Xiaoyuan pulled him forward and kicked his right foot towards his abdomen, but was held by another hand as hard as iron, unable to break away no matter what.
However, the situation did not reach a deadlock. When Xiao Qing attacked Lu Hanjiang's back, he had already let go of Huangfu Xiaoyuan, turned around and tapped the little girl's acupuncture points as fast as the wind.
Before Huangfu Xiaoyuan was about to strike, Lu Hanjiang took the initiative to take off the bamboo hat. He smiled and said: "I used to remember that Miss Huangfu's pair of Xuanhua axes were powerful, but I didn't know that this palm technique was not weak to anyone. Well, I have learned the Eight Diagrams Palm Technique."
"Is it you?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan's expression seemed surprised, but she seemed to be imagining it.
"My late night visit has disturbed my lady's purity. Please forgive me." Lu Hanjiang said politely, although there was no apology in his tone.
As he spoke, he untied Xiaoqing's acupuncture points, and the maid immediately ran to Huangfu Xiaoyuan's side and stared at Lu Hanjiang with wary eyes.
"Lu Qianhu, for breaking into the girl's boudoir without permission, what kind of crime should he be punished according to the imperial law?" Huangfu Xiaoyuan asked with a cold face.
"Such a crime requires a slap in the face, so I would like to ask Miss Huangfu for a favor. If you are invited as a guest, it will not be considered 'trespassing'."
These words were a bit shameless, Xiaoqing was already anxious, but Huangfu Xiaoyuan was uncharacteristically not angry, and it seemed that she had no intention of taking action.
After a long time, Huangfu Xiaoyuan said: "Xiaoqing, you go out first."
"Little, miss?!"
