Things in the world are always so wonderful, and you can meet someone destined to be in such a strange and secluded place.
After Xu Feng explained the purpose of his trip, Lu Xiangnan said that he would cooperate with them to find Lei Zhentian.
He has been the leader of the nursing home in Eagle Castle for many years. A group of brothers under his command also respected him. At this time, he ordered the brothers behind him not to publicize this matter.
The group of big men who were originally eyeing Xu Feng and others, now all softened their expressions. Since they were friends of Boss Lu, they naturally greeted them with smiles.
Lu Xiangnan clasped his fists and said, "Senior Xu, if there is anything you can do for me, just ask me! I'll take you in now, little brother!"
Xu Feng smiled slightly, cupped his fists and said, "That's great! Then there's Brother Lao Lu!"
Lu Xiangnan said politely: "Senior Xu, you're so polite! I'm so happy to have the honor of meeting you today! It's a trivial matter, it doesn't matter! Everyone, please!" He respectfully stretched out his hands and stepped aside to give way.
Xu Feng, Liu Ruyan and Luo Xiangxue followed Lu Xiangnan and walked towards the Eagle Castle compound.
Xu Feng and Liu Ruyan had already gone to the inner courtyard before and had a rough idea of the situation inside. Now, when they came to the courtyard, they seemed calm and calm.
Besides, they have also met the Lord of Sima Fort, and Sima Hong is not as scary as the rumors in the world.
Lu Xiangnan led the way while introducing the situation inside Flying Eagle Castle to the three of them.
The group of people walked through the outermost courtyard and came to a garden corridor. The corridor was made of fine nanmu and surrounded by several small phosphorescent water pavilions.
The waterside pavilion is filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and dragonflies and butterflies dance among the flowers and plants. There are pieces of lotus leaves floating on the water like cattail fans, swaying with the water waves.
It is not yet the flowering period, the lotus roots and leaves are green, but there is not a single bud in sight. Occasionally, there are two or three dragonflies and flying insects stopping and walking on it.
Looking up, at the end of the water pavilion, under the hanging eaves, there are several children with long braids hanging on the railings holding long poles for fishing. Their expressions are extremely focused, and a few pairs of black eyes are staring at the sparkling water. On the water, the red floating pendant on the silk thread is particularly eye-catching in the sun, floating gently in the breeze!
Pedestrians walking up and down the corridor walked together, chatting and laughing from time to time. This scene is like a lively market. Where is the solemn and solemn martial arts secret realm Flying Eagle Castle?
These people were dressed in ordinary cloth shirts and had kind faces. They did not look like those wandering wanderers, but more like ordinary merchants in cloth clothes.
There were men, women, old people and children, some carrying burdens and baskets, and some holding some sundries in their hands. Among these people, the most eye-catching ones are a few girls dressed in red and green, all dressed up. Each of them had a handkerchief in their hand, and from time to time they would reach out and gently wipe their cheeks and foreheads.
The three of them were greatly surprised that there was such a big difference between the front yard and the back yard of Flying Eagle Castle. The front yard is like a beautiful paradise, but the back yard is indescribably desolate and dilapidated. This situation would be unbelievable unless you saw it with your own eyes!
Lu Xiangnan led the three of them to the end of the promenade, and turned around a set of artificial hills. There were small bridges on the rockery, flowing water, vines hanging down, and an exquisite and beautiful pavilion standing on the edge of the steep cliff. Several red rhombus ribbons were wrapped around the pavilion, looking very happy.
At the end of the corridor is a row of exquisitely built side rooms in the courtyard. There are about ten rooms in a row. The door of each room is embedded with a powerful iron lion, with its mouth wide open as if it wants to swallow people.
When the girls passed by the three of them, they couldn't help but glance at Xu Feng and the others. After taking a few steps, they looked back again. Several girls whispered to each other, and then left chatting and laughing.
Luo Xiangxue looked around as she walked. The courtyard in front of her was almost full of scenery. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The Flying Eagle Castle was like a palace courtyard. It was obvious that the owner of this place must be a person of great taste! But I don’t know what it looks like?
Lu Xiangnan pointed to a wing with two red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and said with a smile: "You three, this is the Peach Blossom Hall where Feiying Castle receives guests, and the rooms behind it are all guest rooms. I think you three must have been tired from traveling all the way. Why not take a rest here first!"
The three of them looked around, and Xu Feng muttered: "Thank you, Zhuangshi Lu! We came here to find someone. We want to ask Zhuangshi Lu about someone?"
Lu Xiangnan's eyes flashed and he frowned: "Hey, brother Xu, why are you so polite? I'm so forgetful. You are still in a hurry to find someone. What is the name of the person you are looking for? What does he look like?"
Xu Feng smiled and said: "Oh, my friend's name is Lei Zhentian. He came to Jianmen a few days ago, but I don't know where he settled, so I came here to find out! I wonder if Lu Zhuangshi has heard of it?"
Lu Xiangnan frowned and asked in confusion: "Lei Zhentian? But I don't know who he is? There are many people coming in and out of the Flying Eagle Castle every day, but I have never heard of such a person!" He pondered for a moment, Zhan Yan said, "Let's do this! Please three of you wait here for a while, and let me go ask Butler Zhang to find out! Maybe we can get some clues!"
The three of them looked at each other, smiled, and nodded to him with fists in their hands.
Xu Feng smiled and said: "Then there will be warriors who work hard!"
Lu Xiangnan said: "What are you talking about, eldest brother? The eldest brother's business is also the younger brother's business. The three of you will wait for a while. The younger brother will come as soon as he goes!"
After that, he turned around and gave some instructions to the big men beside him, and led a group of people outside the courtyard.
After they were far away, Liu Ruyan suddenly said: "The two people we met at Guanyun Inn earlier were from Flying Eagle Castle. If my guess is right, maybe they are here now. It's just on the mountain road. We lost track of them! Since they are also looking for Uncle Lei, why don’t we have a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind?"
Xu Feng was suddenly startled, his eyes sparkled, and he suddenly said: "Yes, what my nephew said is absolutely true. Why didn't I think of this just now! Those two people claimed to be from Flying Eagle Castle, and they must always come back. .While the weather is still nice, let’s go walk around and see if we can find any clues!”
Luo Xiangxue looked around and thought thoughtfully: "But Master Lu asked us to wait here. If he comes back and can't see us, won't we have to worry again? I think we'd better wait here for him to come back before making any plans!"
The three of them simply sat down in the hall, and now they had no choice but to wait patiently.
Just when everyone was bored, there was a rush of footsteps outside the compartment door. Everyone stood up quickly and looked out the door.
Lu Xiangnan Feng Huohuo appeared at the door, followed by a middle-aged man in blue cloth.
Lu Xiangnan led the man quickly to the hall, smiled at everyone and said, "Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time! This is Butler Zhang of Feiying Castle. Everyone who comes into Feiying Castle every day is done by Butler Zhang." Namely. Just now, my little brother has explained to Butler Zhang the matter of your search! Let’s talk about it!”
The middle-aged man has a slightly chubby figure, a round face, a broad forehead, and is not tall. When he smiles, his eyes almost squint, and he looks honest and kind.
He looked at the three of them with a smile, cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "Who are you?"
Xu Feng also clasped his fists in return and said with a smile: "Xu has met Butler Zhang! To be honest, I came here today to find someone! I heard from my friend that Butler Zhang may know some details, so I’d like to ask Butler Zhang for advice!”
The steward Zhang frowned and said, "I see, but I don't know the names of the people I'm looking for? What kind of clothes are they wearing?" He stared at the three of them intently.
Xu Feng said slowly: "The person we are looking for is called Lei Zhentian. He is fifty years old. He is wearing a short waistcoat, gray trousers, and soft-soled short boots. He is a friend of mine, I don't know Zhang Does the housekeeper know this person?"
Butler Zhang raised his brows and said thoughtfully: "Lei Zhentian? Let me think about it, an official named Lei did come here a few days ago, but the way he dressed was different from what the official said. It doesn’t match, he’s probably about fifty, but the man stayed for one night and left the next day!”
As he spoke, he took out a roster from his pocket, opened it and looked at it carefully.
After flipping through a few pages, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed to the name on it and said, "Look, that's the name. This person's surname is Lei, Lei Shuping, not Lei Zhentian!"
The three of them looked closer and saw the three characters "Lei Shuping" written neatly on the roster. Although they had the same surname, their names were different.
