The next day came the day agreed with Huang Dan. Feiyun and Liangchen discussed it and asked Xia Feng, Qingxiang, Xiang'er, Liu Shui, and Lin Feng to set off early in the morning and rush to the Lotus Inn. Xia Feng dressed up as a rich man, Qingxiang and Xiang'er dressed up as maids, and Liu Shui and Lin Feng dressed up as servants.
After Xia Feng and the other two walked for more than an hour, Feiyun and Tianxiang walked slowly. Liangchen and others stayed in the trading house, waiting for news. Feiyun and Tianxiang enjoyed the scenery along the way and chatted while walking. Although the two have known each other for a long time, they rarely spend time alone together like this after coming to the capital.
Tianxiang glanced at Feiyun and asked: "Brother, this time you are involved in government affairs again, are you a little reluctant in your heart?"
Feiyun shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Even if I didn't encounter such a thing, I would go find out. After all, when I was escorting Wu Zetian, I formed a rift with Huang Yuxian. I was in Kuai Dao Pai has enmity with them again, if I don't go to them, they will come to me."
Tianxiang said with some worry: "If they insist on letting you go alone, how will we deal with it?"
Feiyun smiled slightly and said: "No. If they really refuse, then we won't go. Now that Kuai Dao Faction has been temporarily disbanded, they can't do anything if they can't find anyone from Kuai Dao Faction. Besides, this Lotus Inn must be One of their strongholds, we can find their lair by tracking the people in this inn.”
Feiyun also thought that taking a step back, Huang Yuxian's hideout was already under his control. If Huang Yuxian and Xiao Yan dared to continue to act recklessly, Feiyun could use the Lotus Inn to give Huang Yuxian a warning!
Tianxiang nodded and said, "You are right. With the clues from the inn, you won't have to worry about finding their lair!"
The two of them walked slowly until almost noon, when they arrived at the Lotus Inn. Feiyun and Tianxiang walked in. The two took a closer look and found that there were not many diners inside, only a few people sitting on two tables.
When the waiter Huang Yong saw someone coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, and said, "Two guests, are you staying in a hotel or dining?" Feiyun was behind at the time, so Huang Yong naturally didn't recognize Feiyun.
Feiyun looked inside and did not see Xia Feng and the other five, thinking that they must have been taken away. Feiyun thought to himself that he would try to stay away from them for some time to avoid suspicion.
Feiyun made up his mind and said to Huang Yong: "Man, when you say this, I really feel a little hungry. Then give us a table of good food and wine!" Feiyun also pretended not to recognize Huang Yong. Huang Yong took Feiyun and Tianxiang to a clean empty table and asked them to sit down and wait.
Feiyun and Tianxiang sat opposite each other and glanced at the diners sitting next to them. They were eight strong men, and they wore single swords on their waists. Obviously they are all practitioners.
Feiyun and Tianxiang smiled knowingly, knowing that these people must be Huang Yuxian's subordinates. After a while, the waiter served the food and wine. Tianxiang was worried that the other party was poisoned, so she secretly tested the poison with a silver needle and nodded slightly towards Feiyun.
After walking for a long time, the two of them were indeed a little hungry, so they started eating and drinking. After the two of them finished eating, Feiyun called his waiter Huang Yong over and said, "Lin Feiyun, do you know a girl named Huang Dan?"
The clerk Huang Yong nodded and said: "Miss Huang Dan is a regular customer of our store, so we naturally know each other. It turns out that you are Shaoxia Lin Feiyun. Miss Huang Dan has already told us that if Shaoxia Lin arrives, let us take you to see her. It's just that I'm afraid it's inconvenient for this girl to go with us, so I have to ask her to stay here and wait."
Tianxiang's face immediately darkened and she said: "That's not okay, I am his fiancée. Wherever he goes, I will naturally follow him. What's more, he is meeting a woman, and I don't want him to be seduced by a vixen! Of course, if you If he insists on doing this, I have no choice but to not let him go."
After hearing this, Huang Yong didn't know what to do, so he had to look at Huang Qing and ask him for instructions.
Huang Qing frowned, walked over slowly, raised his hands to Feiyun and Tianxiang and said, "Young Master Lin, Miss Huang Dan should have made an agreement with you that only you could come to see her."
Feiyun nodded and said: "The shopkeeper is right. Three days ago, Miss Huang Dan and I did agree like this. But this person is not an outsider, she is my future wife. She refused to let me go alone, and neither did I There is a way. If you insist on refusing, I will have to go back with her obediently. Please tell Miss Huang that I am deeply sorry."
Huang Yong next to him became furious and shouted: "How can you, a dignified man of seven feet, be so afraid of a woman who has not yet married? Too..." Before he could finish speaking, Tianxiang suddenly rose up, and he waved his jade palm. , slapped Huang Yong extremely quickly.
Huang Yong yelled "Ouch" and immediately fell to the side, lying on the nearby table, smashing the porcelain bowls pretending to be delicacies. The four men at the table became furious and stood up.
Tianxiang said coldly to Huang Qing: "Shopkeeper, why do you, a man like you, not understand the rules so well? Master, how can we allow him to talk nonsense here!"
Huang Qing was shocked when he saw it. Huang Yong's martial arts was not weak, but he was easily hit by this woman's palm. This showed that this woman's martial arts was not inferior to Huang Dan's or his own. No wonder Lin Feiyun was so afraid of her. It seemed that this woman was indeed not easy to mess with.
Huang Qing's responsibility is to welcome guests, not to cause trouble. Besides, he also knew that if he really took action, how could the few people in his store be their opponents?
Huang Qing calmed down and said to Tianxiang: "Since the girl insists on going, I will obey your order. However, please don't make any moves at will, so as not to cause a bigger misunderstanding!"
Feiyun quickly pulled Hong Tianxiang down and sat down, and said: "I'm sorry from the shopkeeper. But you, a clerk, really lack discipline, how could you be so rude? Fortunately, my fiancée is kind-hearted and didn't use all her strength, otherwise he would have died long ago." . Since you agree, send someone to lead the way! We have to rush back as soon as possible to avoid walking in the dark when we return." In fact, this was something Feiyun and Tianxiang had discussed on the road, so that Tianxiang deliberately found trouble and forced They agreed to let Tianxiang go together.
Huang Qing heard that Feiyun's tone was not kind, and he was so shocked that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quickly said: "What the young hero said is that I will discipline him strictly in the future. Then without wasting time, I will have someone prepare a carriage to send you two off. past."
Feiyun shook his head and said, "It's too boring to sit in the carriage. If you have horses, how about giving us one or two horses?"
Huang Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Please forgive me, young hero. Miss Huang Dan doesn't want others to know where she lives, so when everyone gets here, they have to sit in a carriage to go to her place, lest anyone steal the route." . The windows of the carriage have been closed, please sit inside and do not open them."
Feiyun snorted coldly and said, "Why is it so troublesome to meet her? If I had known this, I wouldn't have come! What if we don't want to take a carriage?"
Aoki said apologetically: "In that case, I have to ask you two to leave this place on your own. But in that case, I will be responsible for Miss Bai's entrustment, and I will inevitably be scolded by Miss Bai." Hongying saw this. , and immediately said: "Brother Shui, they are afraid that you are a spy, so they are on guard like this. Since the shopkeeper just made a step, we will let him take a step in return, so as not to embarrass him." Hongying naturally did not want to give up this opportunity, Therefore, Liu Shui was hinted not to care.
Liu Shui understood and said to Qingmu: "Then for your sake, we will get in the car now. We just wronged you." Hongying smiled slightly and said: "With you by my side, I won't feel anything. I feel wronged." The two said as they came outside, they saw a luxurious and brand-new carriage parked outside the inn door. Aoki followed and said, "Please get in the car and take a seat. I'll ask my buddy Erhu to drive for you."
Liu Shui said: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. How far is the place you want to go? Where is it?" Qingmu said: "Miss Bai lives in Lotus Villa, about thirty or forty miles away. If you want to hurry up, you don't need two We'll be there in a minute!" Liu Shui thanked him with his hands, then took Hongying's hand and jumped onto the carriage together.
Liu Shui and Hongying entered the car and sat down in the car. The two of them took a closer look and saw that this was indeed a special carriage. The curtains were sealed and they could not see what was going on outside at all. Aoki, who was standing aside, waved to Erhu, who flew to the carriage. After the two tigers sat down, they raised their whips. The carriage moved slowly, heading east.
The carriage drove quickly in the breeze. Liu Shui and Hongying listened carefully and heard only the sound of swaying branches and the chirping of birds and cicadas, but not the slightest sound of human beings. Liu Shui secretly guessed that the carriage was not very fast and very bumpy. It seemed that it was traveling on a rugged mountain road. Liu Shui shouted to the two tigers in front of him: "Brother, how far is it?" The two tigers replied: "We'll be there just over the mountain in front."
The carriage continued to gallop for about half an hour, and finally stopped. Liu Shui heard someone outside asking: "Brother Erhu, who did you bring here?" Erhu replied: "Brother Sanlong, please inform the White Lotus Messenger on my behalf that the young hero Liu Shui and his fiancée she invited The appointment has arrived!" The three dragons said "Please wait a moment" and turned to leave. Erhu jumped out of the carriage and said to Liu Shui and Liu Shui in the carriage: "You two, please get out of the car!"
Liu Shui came out first and jumped out of the carriage, followed closely by Hongying. The two of them took a closer look and saw that they were standing in front of the gate of a large mansion. Four golden characters "Lotus Villa" are engraved on the top of the gate. Four sturdy men stand at the gate, all dressed in smart clothes and wearing steel swords on their waists, looking majestic.
Aoki's apologetic Liu Shui glanced at Erhu who was standing aside and was about to ask a question. At this moment, several people walked out of the door. Liu Shui raised his eyes and took a closer look. The one in the middle was a white lotus, with sword eyebrows and sword eyes following it to the left and right. Bai Lianhua came to Liu Shui with a smile on her face, stared at Liu Shui with her eyes, bowed her hands and saluted, and said: "Young Master Liu is indeed a man of his word, and he came as promised. Please forgive me for missing the welcome." .”
Liu Shui cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "Young lady, I dare not not come. I don't want everyone in Kuai Dao Sect to be hunted down by you!" Bai Lianhua naturally heard the sarcasm in Liu Shui's words, but she seemed not to have heard it. , said: "Young Xia is serious. This girl came with Young Xia, right? Who is she to you?" Bai Lianhua glanced at Hongying casually. Liu Shui said: "Miss Bai, she is my fiancée, her surname is Hong Ying. Ying'er, this is Bai Lianhua, the White Lotus messenger from the Lotus Sect that I mentioned to you."
Bai Lianhua ignored Hongying and said angrily to Liu Shuijiao: "Didn't I agree that you would come alone? Why don't you keep your word?" Before Liu Shui replied, Hongying snorted coldly and said, "If he If you don't bring me here, you can't get out of the gate. How can you meet the vixen in the wild!" Bai Lianhua didn't take Hongying seriously, and Hongying didn't care either.
But Bai Lianhua saw Liu Shui's affectionate look and coquettish voice, which made Hongying furious. Li Yu and Shuishui have already made Hongying feel uneasy. If another woman like this comes, how can Hongying bear it? So she grabbed the words and made taunting remarks, hoping to give Bai Lianhua a blow and make her retreat.
Bai Lianhua was stunned, few people dared to say that to her face. Bai Lianhua was so angry that her face was livid. She looked at Hongying with a cold eye and said angrily: "You have such a strong tone! Judging from your dress, you should be a lady from a famous family. Why are you so embarrassed when speaking out?" Hongying saw Bai Lianhua. His face was livid, and his words contained great anger. She wouldn't pay attention to this witch's tone. It could make Bai Lianhua very angry, and Hongying would be elated.
Hongying was not angry, but smiled slightly and said: "I just told a few truths, why do you accuse me like this? Are you a vixen? Vixens are all smart and beautiful. In my opinion, You don't seem to have reached such a standard. There is obviously a big gap." Bai Lianhua has always been aloof and complacent. She has never been ridiculed like this before. She immediately shouted: "If you continue to talk nonsense and speak indiscriminately, be careful, I will take your life immediately. !”
The two sects that were destroyed recently were both led by Bai Lianhua to destroy them. Therefore, Bai Lianhua was quite arrogant and complacent, thinking that the martial arts people in the capital were nothing more than this. At this moment, she was provoked by Hongying, and seeing that Hongying was a weak woman, she immediately lost her temper and uttered threatening words.
When Liu Shui saw this, he thought badly. He hadn't gone in yet and hadn't learned anything yet. How could he turn his back immediately? He quickly persuaded: "Messenger Bailian, please calm down for the time being. My sister has always been willful and speaks uncontrollably. Please forgive me. I will apologize to you for her." Liu Shui turned to Hongying and said, "My good girl, how could you offend the mighty White Lotus Messenger? Shut up quickly." Liu Shui's words reminded Hongying that she would not Make a sound again.
Seeing Liu Shui's apology, Bai Lianhua stopped caring and said, "I asked you to come alone, but it's better if she comes. If you don't obey, we will use her as a bargaining chip! Please come in, our leader has invited you!" "Liu Shui became furious when he saw her openly threatening her. But at this moment, Liu Shui could only suppress his anger and pretend to be calm and indifferent.
