"Chief, I've got what you want." Young Master Jinyi held the brocade box in both hands and handed it over respectfully.
"Okay, you go out first! No one is allowed to come in without my order." Zuo Tianhao took the brocade box and waved to the brocade master impatiently.
"I resign from my humble position." Mr. Jinyi lowered his head and slowly retreated, with a vicious smile at the corner of his mouth.
With a "squeak" sound, Master Jin Yi closed the door and returned the wine cup. Zuo Tianhao, whose eyes were lazy, became as alert as a cheetah. After confirming that it was absolutely safe inside and outside the house, he slowly opened the brocade box.
"Is this the kind of ink pad?" Zuo Tianhao gently opened the red sandalwood carving box, dipped a little on his fingertips and observed it carefully for a moment: "It shouldn't be wrong! But for safety reasons, we still need to make a comparison. .”
"Whoosh whoosh!" With Xu Houfei's protection, Li Hongxi confidently controlled the cherry blossom petals to attack Liu Ningshi.
"Hoo ho ho!" Liu Ningshi stood up with her feet on the ground, her wonderful figure shuttled among the cherry blossom petals; although Xu Houfei's punch was not as fierce as An Da Fang's, it was hard yet soft, dense and long, and any No matter how she moved around, she could not pose a threat to Li Hongxi who was hiding behind.
"These two people work together tacitly, and a long battle will not be good for me." Liu Ningshi also saw that they were just planning to bring her down, and she had a suspicion in her heart.
Liu Ningshi advanced among the cherry blossom petals without retreating. She waved her left palm holding the glass bead, and the cherry blossom petals attached to it swept toward Xu Houfei.
"Innocent." Li Hongxi, who was behind Xu Houfei, smiled scornfully. With the middle and index fingers of his right hand, the fiery red cherry blossom petals gathered together and collided with the incoming cherry blossom petals.
"Boom!" The two colored cherry blossoms collided violently again, producing a large amount of fog, making everyone's eyes blurry.
This time, the cherry blossom petals sent by Liu Ningshi were wilted by the fiery red cherry blossom petals and slowly scattered, but these were all part of her plan.
Liu Ningshi twisted her slender waist and knelt down on her knees to do an Iron Banqiao Gong. The cherry blossom petals that hit her touched her face; but she was not idle, the glazed beads on her left palm shot a blue blast at the scattered cherry blossom petals. gas.
"Swish, swish, swish." The blue energy hit the scattered cherry blossom petals, and the cherry blossom petals full of water suddenly shriveled up, while countless water droplets rose up around them, condensed into needle shapes, and shot out into the mist.
"Hou Fei, get out of the way." Li Hongxi, who was not paying attention at first, did not expect that Liu Ningshi would suddenly attack after showing weakness to the enemy and shouted violently.
"Drink!" Xu Houfei heard Li Hongxi's reminder too late. Seeing that he could not dodge, he had to shout loudly, peeling off the energy that was originally integrated with the cherry blossom petals, and blocked it in front of him.
"Ding ding ding!" With a wave of Xu Houfei's right arm, the strength of his retreat almost blocked the incoming water needle, but it also shocked him back again and again.
Liu Ningshi saw that the gap had been opened, and she held the dragon-shaped dagger with her right palm and stabbed Xu Houfei's vest; Li Hongxi pushed with both palms, and the cherry blossom petals gathered around him accurately blocked Liu Ningshi's path.
Liu Ningshi was just feinting this time, waiting for this momentary opportunity; she suddenly retracted her feet, dodged toward Li Hongxi, who had the door wide open, and swung out the dragon-shaped dagger that was already ready to go.
"No." The moment the dragon-shaped dagger touched Li Hongxi, a familiar voice came into Liu Ningshi's ears. Before she could think about it, she changed the stabbing to a point, and the reversed dagger hit him. On the Tanzhong point.
"Hongxi!" Xu Houfei was instantly furious when he saw Li Hongxi being knocked down by Liu Ningshi. He crossed his fists on his chest and a huge purple palm print came from the air.
Liu Ningshi just wanted to dodge, but the fight just now affected the old wounds caused by the previous use of the Qianying Sword. She was so angry that she couldn't move even half a minute.
In the critical moment, a bamboo stick flew towards the center of the palm print, and the green light formed a semi-arc aperture, staying in mid-air with the falling purple light.
"Sister Ningshi, is that you?" Xiaoliu and the others arrived at Jifang Pavilion. Only then could they see Liu Ningshi's face clearly, and scolded her: "Sister, why did you leave without saying goodbye, making everyone so worried?"
"Xiao Liu, capture these two first." Liu Ningshi took advantage of the gap between Xiao Liu's resistance to the palm prints, and the aura in her dantian gathered on her palms again.
"Boom!" Xu Houfei pushed with his right palm, the purple palm print overwhelmed the green aperture, and let out a huge roar.
The roar and the aftermath of the collision of internal forces swept the cherry blossoms all over the sky and once again produced a huge white mist.
"Where are the people?" Xiaoliu reached out to catch the bounced bamboo stick and waved it several times to disperse the white mist, but Li Hongxi and Xu Houfei were nowhere to be seen.
"Xiao Liu! I'm sorry! My sister was confused, so..." Liu Ningshi took a deep breath and said, "By the way! Why did you stop me from killing that vicious guy."
"Sister, you should also know the rules in the pavilion!" Xiao Liu put the bamboo stick back on his waist: "You can't kill someone without permission from the steward in the pavilion."
"No wonder those two people were fighting against me just now. They must not have dared to break the rules and cause trouble in the pavilion. They are really insidious." Liu Ningshi nodded.
"Xiao Liu, how did you find this place? How did you pass through the barrier?" Liu Ningshi looked at the dust on Xiao Liu's face and was very moved in her heart.
"It's strange to say that the entrance to the foggy flower sea is not fortified at all, as if people were deliberately let in." Xiao Liu said while touching his head.
"Xiao Liu, do you think it's so easy to enter the foggy sea of flowers?" Liu Ningshi is smart, and with the experience of these days, she immediately became alert: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We will leave after saving Brother Da Fang."
Two cups of tea passed, and Tong Bo was still lurking in the grass five feet away from the back hall, waiting quietly.
"What kind of wishful thinking did Zuo Tianhao have?" Tong Bo couldn't help but murmur in his heart as he watched Mr. Jinyi hurriedly enter and then hurriedly exit. There was no movement in the room.
"Tch! You still have to go and take a look." Tong Bo sneaked under the window eaves and looked with his right eye at the small hole that Xiao Liu had poked earlier: "Huh? Why is the person missing?"
Tong Bo quickly walked into the house and closed the door behind him. He walked around inside again, looked at the landscape paintings on the wall, and flipped through the books on the bookshelf, but found nothing unusual.
"Did people just disappear out of thin air? Absolutely impossible!" Tong Bo's eyes froze, and he saw the wine bottle beside the futon lying aside. Although the wine inside had drained away, it had not accumulated.
"It must be down here!" Tong Bo stepped forward and lifted the futon, revealing a wooden cover.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Something big has happened. The young shopkeeper asked us all to go to Jifang Pavilion in the sea of colorful flowers." Just as Tong Bo was about to open the wooden cover, there was a noisy sound outside the door.
"Let others create disturbances in the sea of flowers, while you take things and run away! It's so easy to escape the golden cicada, Zuo Tianhao is really insidious!" Tong Bo snorted and put the futon back to its place: "It's more important over the sea of flowers. , I’ll just let you be proud for a few days.”
In front of Jifang Pavilion, An Dafang and Xiaoliu were supporting the unconscious Li Shu from the left and right, and as soon as he came out from there, they were surrounded by a group of guards in yellow clothes.
"Hahaha! Let me tell you, it is impossible to escape unscathed in the Purple Smoke Pavilion?" The Luotuo man bit open the purple gourd and took two more sips of wine. His feet were shaking, and he seemed to be a little unsteady on his feet.
"Manager Pei, you arrived too soon." The thin man kept staring at the unscrupulous man with a sullen face: "However, I targeted them first."
"Tsk, tsk! It's already this time, why should we tell each other apart?" The Luotuo man turned around and said with a smile, "Am I right, Brother Lu?"
"Brother Pei is really sensible." A white-haired old man pushed aside the guards with his hands and walked in slowly: "But, I am not interested in what is going on here."
"It's really rare for all the ministers in the cabinet to gather here." The thin man stared at the white-haired old man coldly: "Brother Lu, since he is not interested in this matter, why are you here?"
"I'm just here for him." The white-haired old man pointed at Xiaoliu: "I naturally have to pay close attention to the successor I like."
"This little brother is indeed very qualified, but he looks like a sick man and seems to have been seriously injured!" The man with a glaring look could tell at a glance the sword injury suffered by Xiao Liu.
"Is this a minor injury still not a problem for me? But Brother Pei, Ziyan Bank is under the jurisdiction of Manager Zhang, what are you doing here?" The white-haired old man and the old man sang together, as if they had discussed it long ago.
"Of course it's the master of the pavilion who sends you." The idle man glanced at the thin man: "Brother Lu doesn't want to care about trivial matters, but you won't put it down when it comes to matters of life and death, right?"
"A big thing? I can't remember the last big thing that happened in the pavilion."
It's time! The white-haired old man couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time: "What is more important now than finding a successor?" "
"Master Qian, why don't you come out and tell Brother Lu about the previous situation?" Although the man's eyes were intoxicated, his heart was as clear as a mirror, which made people frightened.
"Hmph! Let me tell you." The thin man pointed at An Dafang: "This bastard not only kills people in the pavilion, but he also possesses Fire Seal Silver!"
"Fire Seal Silver?" The white-haired old man's face couldn't help but change color after listening to the thin man's words: "You said the man opposite is carrying the Fire Seal Silver specially used by the imperial court?"
"That's right!" The old man took out the Fire Seal Silver that An Dafang had dropped from his arms and handed it to the white-haired old man: "I guess no one knows more about Fire Seal Silver than Brother Lu?"
"Fire Seal Silver, thirty taels." The white-haired old man took the Fire Seal Silver and looked at the sky for a long time, then said slowly: "The presence of this thing in the pavilion is not a good sign."
"Hmph! These people are not regular guests in the pavilion, and they are actually still harboring fire and printing silver. For the safety of Ziyan Pavilion, it is better to kill them to avoid future troubles." The thin man pointed at An Dafang and his group, his eyes The chill is on full display.
"Kill them?" The lazy man shook his head: "Don't Manager Zhang want to know who is behind the scenes?"
"This matter is serious. In my opinion, it is better to ask the master of the pavilion to make a decision." The white-haired old man's thoughts were obviously much more prudent than the thin man's.
"Yes! Steward Lu's idea coincides with that of Pei." The lax man praised: "Steward Zhang should know the rules of the cabinet. As long as the two stewards agree, they must be followed."
"Hmph! It shouldn't matter if they kill those two people." The emaciated man looked displeased, but faced with an opponent who was almost the same as himself, he had no choice but to direct his target towards Xiao Liu and Li Shu.
"Didn't I tell you that this time I came here specifically to recruit a disciple? Manager Zhang must give me some face!" the white-haired old man said with a smile.
"Of course I will give Manager Lu this face." The thin man raised his left hand and pinched it, and An Dafang felt a black energy pouring out of his body, swallowing him up.
"Manager Zhang, do you want to violate the rules?" The unscrupulous man flashed to An Dafang's side, bit open the purple gourd, took a sip of wine, sprayed it on his right palm, and quickly pressed it against his back.
The black energy in An Dafang's body was slowly sucked out, but the palm of the Luotuo man's hand, which was soaked in strong liquor, was wrapped in circles of black energy.
"Why should Manager Pei be nervous? I will not regret what I have done." The thin man waved his right palm, and a looming black energy hit the unconscious Li Shu.
