Chapter 158: The Romantic Song of the Celebrity · 4

The table in front of Xiao Hao and Lu Xiaofeng was full of wine.

If you want to invite the most knowledgeable person in the world to tell a story, of course you have to use the best wine.

Xiao Hao felt a little headache.

Although his reputation was widely spread among the people, in fact, Xiao Hao did not know much about this world, and he did not know what Lu Xiaofeng wanted to hear.

He knew that Lu Xiaofeng loved wine as much as his life. A person who loved wine as much as his life was willing to take out so many treasures just to listen to a story, which was enough to prove the importance of this matter.

Xiao Hao's original leisurely good mood was gone. He plucked the strings of the zither from time to time. The scattered but rhythmic tunes jumped out from his fingertips like beads, which was quite interesting.

He said straight to the point: "Since you are so sincere, I will tell you everything I know."

Lu Xiaofeng took out an exquisite ring from his arms. It looked quite old, and the ring face was a gem that was neither blue nor green. He held the ring as if he was holding his own life.

When Xiao Hao saw the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring, his hand that was playing the zither stopped, and his expression was a little stunned.

Lu Xiaofeng took in his reaction and smiled bitterly: "Sir, you really recognize this thing."

"..." Xiao Hao was silent for a while, and then continued to pluck the strings of the zither, but it was not a tune with a modal rhythm, but a slow and steady style of Gong Shang Jiao. "Where did you get this?"

Lu Xiaofeng heard the change in his piano sound. At first, he didn't think it was anything special. He just thought that he was upset and the tune was off. But he didn't expect that the following few consecutive sounds were all unbearable single notes. He suddenly felt uncomfortable.

This ring is indeed related to Master Xiao. His reaction made Lu Xiaofeng more eager to know his secret.

"I used wine to exchange for your story, why do you ask me questions?"

Xiao Hao said to Lu Xiaofeng: "There are so many stories, how do I know which one you want to hear?"

He took the Qiu Shui Chang Tian ring from Lu Xiaofeng's hand, and casually looked at the durability. Sure enough, it had fallen by more than half, so he repaired it.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw the ring in his hand, he immediately became refreshed and his eyes widened slightly.

He pondered for a moment and compromised, "Okay, I can tell you, sir."

Lu Xiaofeng came over and said in a low voice, "Someone threw it into my glass when I was drinking!"

Xiao Hao looked at him expressionlessly.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't get any useful information from Xiao Hao's face and slumped on the table in frustration: "It seems that sir really has nothing to do with them."

"Them?"

Xiao Hao frowned slightly. Just when he was about to ask something, he saw that Lu Xiaofeng had already taken the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring back and bowed to him apologetically, "Since this matter has nothing to do with sir, I was rude today. This wine is my compensation and apology. See you later!"

"Wait!" Xiao Hao didn't like being kept in suspense and then put down lightly. After all, the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring was his thing and Lu Xiaofeng's trouble was related to him. He still had to get things clear. He thought for a moment, and then said something evasive: "It's called the Autumn Water and Long Sky Ring."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he sat back down.

Xiao Hao continued: "You must tell me its origin first, and then I can tell you what I know." Lu

Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and said: "If you have nothing to do with this matter, it's better not to get involved." This man is the emperor's teacher, who is second only to the emperor in the court. If he accidentally hurts innocent people, he will be guilty.

Xiao Hao played the feather sound again without saying a word.

Hearing the music, Lu Xiaofeng looked at Xiao Hao's calm and composed appearance. The feather sound belongs to water, soft and peaceful. Xiao Hao told him to relax.

Although it is really... very unpleasant.

Lu Xiaofeng had heard the tune that Xiao Hao had just played, and at least it was in tune. But the following few sounds... He thought that maybe his appreciation level was not high enough, and he could not understand the string music of this famous scholar.

He still understood what Xiao Hao meant, so he responded: "There is a secret behind this thing. It is said that it may be countless treasures and gold, or it may be the supreme martial arts secrets. Some people also say that it is all the dreams you can think of and can't think of."

Xiao Hao's heart moved, and he replied: "But you hold it as if you are holding a hot potato."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly again: "It really is a hot potato to me."

Xiao Hao smiled knowingly. Lu Xiaofeng was a very curious person. The Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring fell into his hands and was given all these strange meanings. This must be a very deep water.

Tsk.

Xiao Hao hated trouble. As early as when the little emperor ascended the throne, he had already understood the forces in the martial arts world. There were not many people in this world's martial arts world who were worthy of his attention. Although the court and the martial arts world could be said to be on equal terms, the power of the court was actually more powerful than that of the martial arts world.

The Western Demon Cult, the Feixian Island in the South China Sea, and the two restless royal nobles, in addition to these forces, anyone who could threaten the little emperor's kingdom could be stunned by his Pingsha Luoyan.

It was a rare time of peace and prosperity, so he wanted to teach the little emperor well before leaving, so he was not so eager to complete the task. He was now a god in the eyes of Confucian students, but in the martial arts world he was just regarded as an idle scholar. If Wei Ziyun had not known that he was skilled in martial arts and regarded him as the most reliable bodyguard of the little emperor, no one would have thought that Master Xiao was actually a martial arts master.

Shi Zhixuan's participation in the imperial examination was only decided last night, and no one should know that they would come to the Ministry of Revenue today, but Lu Xiaofeng was obviously prepared.

The walls of the palace have ears.

Xiao Hao immediately locked on a few people.

Apart from the young emperor, Shi Zhixuan and the other two, the only people present last night were Wei Ziyun, the foremost expert in the palace, his guards, and the palace servants from the Imperial Household Department.

Xiao Hao remained calm and asked Lu Xiaofeng again, "This thing is indeed mine, but it has been lost for many, many years. Do you know who threw it into your wine glass?"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said sincerely, "I don't know. But dozens of lives have been lost for this thing. If I want to survive, I have to figure this out as soon as possible."

Xiao Hao's expression froze, "Then who provided you with the information when you came to intercept me in the teahouse today?"

Lu Xiaofeng was slightly stunned and hesitated for a while before saying, "The eunuch Wei Jinqiliang."

Xiao Hao said "Oh" and silently memorized the name in his heart.

Lu Xiaofeng held the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring and continued, "Because of it, one group of people is trying their best to hunt me down, but at the same time, three groups of people seem to be eager for me to find the treasure as soon as possible." He sighed with a bitter face, "I made a bet with my friend that if Mr. Lian didn't know about this, then no one in the world would know about it. Now it seems that this time I not only have to ask him for help again, but also have to compensate him with fifty tables of bird's nest and abalone banquets and fifty bottles of aged wine."

Xiao Hao found it inexplicably funny when he saw his two mustaches wrinkled like his eyebrows when he had a bitter face. Lu Xiaofeng mentioned "them" just now, and I'm afraid they are the group chasing him. As soon as Lu Xiaofeng was sure that she had nothing to do with the matter, she immediately wanted to keep him out of it, and Xiao Hao was quite pleased with this.

No wonder so many people were willing to be friends with Lu Xiaofeng, this person really had many shining points.

Although he could foresee that it would be a troublesome matter, he was still willing to help Lu Xiaofeng.

"The friend you bet with is the master Zhu Ting?" Xiao Hao used a question, but his tone was very firm.

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "Since there is a secret on this ring, maybe it is a key or something like that. I didn't expect that Zhu Ting spent a whole month and still couldn't figure out how this thing was made. He couldn't even find the seams of the inlay. If I hadn't found the name of the master engraved on the inner circle of the ring later, I would have had no idea where to start."

He handed the ring to Xiao Hao, as if it was a gift.

Xiao Hao looked at it nonchalantly. It's amazing that you can see the manufacturing method of something produced by the system.

But what about the name engraved on it?

He never took it off to take a closer look. Is it something that comes with the system? Or... Shi Zhixuan's guy...

Xiao Hao's face was a little hot for no reason. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "I gave this thing to a friend in my early years. He-" As he was talking, he suddenly saw a name added to the target list. Xiao Hao immediately changed his words: "What a coincidence, the real owner is here now." Lu

Xiaofeng was slightly stunned. He saw a person walking slowly down the stairs. Every seemingly ordinary step seemed to be in line with a certain righteousness. Lu Xiaofeng had seen many masters, but his sharpness told him that this person's martial arts was probably the highest he had ever seen in his life.

Shi Zhixuan's eyes just fell on their table. Seeing Lu Xiaofeng's action as if he was presenting a treasure to Xiao Hao, his face turned black.

Seeing what he had in his hand, Shi Zhixuan's good mood dropped by 50 percent.

Who is this? Why is the Qiu Shui Chang Tian Ring in his hand? What is he doing? Is he proposing marriage? ?

Shi Zhixuan stood in front of their table, and Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that the atmosphere was very awkward, his whole body was stiff, and cold sweat was about to fall down. He didn't quite understand why he felt this way, but his intuition told him that the "real owner" Xiao Hao mentioned seemed... very dangerous.

He looked at Xiao Hao for help: "Sir, this..."

Xiao Hao introduced briefly: "Shi Zhixuan, my friend."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately clasped his fists: "I am Lu Xiaofeng, the Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows."

Xiao Hao nodded, and continued: "The story of how he exchanged good wine for this ring."

Shi Zhixuan glanced at him indifferently, took the ring from Lu Xiaofeng's hand, and put it on his finger very naturally. The whole action was done in one go, and people could not think of anything wrong at all.

"This was given to me by Ah Hao when we first met. I have carried it with me for many years. Later, he became possessed, so I gave it back to him and it helped him regain his consciousness. Thanks to it, I was able to find Ah Hao all these years."

Lu Xiaofeng blinked, and questions popped up in his mind one after another.

What's the matter with this inexplicable hostility? What's the matter with carrying it with him for many years? Did Master Xiao become possessed? He actually knows martial arts? But why did he recover after this person gave him the ring back? ?

No, why does this story seem to be different from the one he wants to know? ?

He looked around Xiao Hao and Shi Zhixuan, and his expression became very complicated.

These two grown men were passing a ring back and forth... Lu Xiaofeng was lost in thought as he looked at Xiao Hao's face.

Could it be that... the world-famous Xiao Dashi, is actually a...

Lu Xiaofeng took a step back calmly.

He didn't quite understand this world.

The author has something to say: Lu Xiaofeng: Could it be that... the world-famous Xiao Dashi, is actually a... woman? ? ?

Ritian: Hehe, Duang——Duang——Duang——eat my sword·征!

Lu Xiaofeng: Director!! Rewind!!

Dajiji: Act 4, Action!

Lu Xiaofeng: Could it be that... the world-famous Xiao Dashi, is actually a... 喷袖? ? ?

Lu Xiaofeng took a step back and found that Shi Zhixuan was staring at him.

Shi Zhixuan: You seem to know something you shouldn't know.

Lu Xiaofeng: ...Director! I'm here to investigate the case, please don't give me any fatal questions, okay QAQ!!
