Chapter 65 Cute Wangcai

| Banxia Novel Exclusive |

*

Lu Xiaofeng has many friends. After bidding farewell to Hua Man Lou, he and Wangcai went to visit his good friend Huo Xiu.

Huo Xiu is the richest man in Jianghu, and he runs countless businesses. It stands to reason that he should not live in a wooden house in the mountains with such wealth, but Lu Xiaofeng has known him for many years, and Huo Xiu has always lived in such a place and has never moved out.

The wooden house looks very inconspicuous from the outside, and Huo Xiu, as the richest man, is even more inconspicuous. He is dressed in ordinary clothes, with white hair and beard, and looks like a kind old man.

After seeing Lu Xiaofeng, Huo Xiu did not get up from his wooden chair, but waved his cattail leaf fan unsteadily.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled, but before he could say anything, a black shadow emerged from behind him, and with a "woop" sound, its tail swung in the wind and slapped Lu Xiaofeng's legs with a clapping sound.

Huo Xiu was surprised and said, "You have a dog."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's not my dog, it's a kid I met on the road, and he got separated from his owner. "

Wangcai: "Woof woof woof!"

The bark was loud and cheerful, Huo Xiu frowned imperceptibly, and Lu Xiaofeng smiled and introduced: "Its name is Wangcai."

Huo Xiu smiled lightly and said, "You said it's not your dog, why did you give it a name?"

Lu Xiaofeng pointed to the faint red rope around Wangcai's neck and said, "The dog tag it wears has its name written on it."

Bu Zao ignored the two people's conversation and looked up at the unprepossessing wooden house behind Huo Xiu.

Although the sparrow is small, it has everything. Huo Xiu's wooden house has a secret passage hidden in it, and there are countless gold and silver treasures in the secret room below.

I'm afraid even Huo Xiu himself can't count how huge his wealth is.

In this case, it doesn't matter if he takes a little.

Wangcai, who looks majestic and cute, rushed into the house with a cheerful step, passing by the two people who were talking like a gust of wind.

Because Wangcai is just a dog, no one will care even if he wanders around at will, just like when Wangcai explored the Shenhou Mansion, Liushenmen, Shentonghou Mansion and Taiping Palace, no one stopped him.

Huo Xiu and Lu Xiaofeng turned their heads and watched Wangcai's tail disappear around the corner, and they didn't move.

Bu Zao was wagging his tail and jumping around. As a player of "Simulation Jianghu: I am the Master 1.0", he was very familiar with the structure of Huo Xiu's cabin. He walked outside Huo Xiu's closed bedroom, stood up and scratched with his claws for a while, then changed direction to find other mechanisms.

Under Huo Xiu's cabin was like an ant's nest, with countless mechanisms. When playing the game, players need to master a certain level of mechanism skills to solve the puzzles. If the level is not enough, go back and practice again, and then come back again.

But for a player who has been practicing hard for seven years in the Salted Fish School, the current mechanisms are nothing, and can be easily solved with a dog's claws.

While Huo Xiu and Lu Xiaofeng were chatting and laughing outside, Bu had already entered Huo Xiu's secret room. Behind the heavy machinery was the huge wealth Huo Xiu had obtained after establishing Qingyi Building with the wealth of the Jinpeng Dynasty that he had obtained decades ago.

A gentleman loves wealth, but he gets it in a proper way and gets what he deserves. The player happily took Huo Xiu's wealth, and Bu had already seen his future of making up for the deficit.

[The system is thinking about the meaning of the player's behavior.]

The meaning of the player's behavior lies in his willingness.

Bu Zao swept away two-thirds of Huo Xiu's wealth like a whirlwind, leaving Huo Xiu with only a small amount of money for his appearance. He then returned the money from its original place before Huo Xiu and Lu Xiaofeng found something wrong, leaving no trace of Wangcai - not even a hair of the dog.

As a member of the Salted Fish Party, Wangcai must also contribute to the financial deficit of the Salted Fish Party.

When Huo Xiu and Lu Xiaofeng went into the house to continue drinking and eating, Wangcai crawled out from under the table.

Huo Xiu's expression froze when he saw his action, and Bu Zao grinned at him, revealing his sharp canine teeth, and then stepped hard on the hidden switch under his feet.

There was a slight clicking sound, and the shelf on the right side of the main room rang, and it opened to the right, revealing a dark passage behind.

Huo Xiu still looked like a kind old man, and his expression did not change at all.

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned at first, and then looked at the bottomless secret passage with a strange look.

Huo Xiu always looked like he had no desires, and Lu Xiaofeng was very curious about why he was so pure and simple despite having tens of thousands of assets.

What would be behind this secret passage? Lu Xiaofeng's curiosity was aroused, but he and Huo Xiu were good friends, so Lu Xiaofeng certainly would not ask without thinking.

Huo Xiu stared at Wangcai. He never thought that one day a dog would open his mechanism. There was no other possibility except coincidence, but this did not prevent him from being angry at a dog.

Lu Xiaofeng stepped forward and picked up Wangcai, patted its body helplessly, and apologized to Huo Xiu. Huo Xiu smiled and said it was okay, stepped forward to close the mechanism, and returned to his original position.

Looking back, Lu Xiaofeng and Wangcai both looked at him with squinting eyes. Huo Xiu just said lightly: "You are such a naughty dog."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately raised his hand and rubbed Wangcai's head: "Indeed, Wangcai you are so naughty."

Naughty Wangcai shouted happily: "Awoo!"

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed the dog's face: "You are so cute."

Wangcai broke free from his hand and jumped out of the door. Huo Xiu watched its figure disappear in the forest with death eyes. Lu Xiaofeng knew that Wangcai would not run far, so he stood up and drank with Huo Xiu again.

With their friendship, Lu Xiaofeng would not suspect anything because there was a secret passage in Huo Xiu's house, but he could let him know that Huo Xiu was not as selfless as he seemed.

Moreover... Lu Xiaofeng could tell at a glance that the manufacturing method of this mechanism came from his friend Zhu Ting.

Huo Xiu's secrets were definitely not limited to this secret passage. Lu Xiaofeng had a clear understanding of this. However, no matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, Huo Xiu casually mentioned the incident of the mechanism being activated by Wangcai with a half-truthful joke while the two of them were drinking and chatting.

Lu Xiaofeng believed it.

*

After Lu Xiaofeng and the dog named Wangcai left, Huo Xiu immediately destroyed the mechanism under the table, and the display on the right side of the main room could never be moved again.

No matter who saw him do this, Huo Xiu would never let his wealth be obtained by others.

Huo Xiu walked into his secret room, which had long become his daily pastime. When he was still a minister of the Kingdom of Jinpeng, his life was ordinary and his salary was only enough to cover daily expenses. But after the kingdom was destroyed, he gradually accumulated wealth, and he had more wealth than he could spend until the end of his life.

The candlelight flickered, and Huo Xiu had a smile on his face. The gold and silver in the room reflected a dazzling light under the candlelight.

Huo Xiu approached the neatly arranged treasure chests and slowly opened the lid. The light of the gold ingots distorted his wrinkled face. Huo Xiu picked up an ingot and played with it between his fingertips.

Then, his smile froze on his face.

There was nothing under the ingot box. The treasure chest that should have been full of ingots was left with only the ingots on the top side. Huo Xiu's face turned cold. He threw down the ingots and started to search from the treasure chests around him. He didn't stop searching until he was exhausted.

It had been seven days since he last came to the secret room. Someone had taken away more than half of his wealth during these seven days!

Huo Xiu was filled with anger. In addition to his anger, he first wanted to rule out Lu Xiaofeng as a suspect. Lu Xiaofeng was not someone who would do such a thing. Huo Xiu knew this very well, but he could not ignore any possibility.

As for Wangcai, Huo Xiu did not even have the slightest suspicion.

[Jianghu secret: The owner of Qingyi Building found that his property had disappeared without a trace. He decided to send the assassin of Qingyi Building to test Lu Xiaofeng who was visiting his home. (Crow from the treetop)】

【Beep! Congratulations to the player for starting the side quest!】

【Side quest: Black pot falling from the sky】

【Quest description: Lu Xiaofeng is a humorous and upright person, a playboy that everyone in the world likes. He never thought that one day he would be suspected by his friends. Facing the killer secretly sent by his friends who are members of the killer organization, Lu Xiaofeng doesn't even know why he was targeted. Dear player, "you" will definitely help him get through this unprovoked disaster, and maybe even answer his questions. 】

→【Accept】or【Reject】

Of course I will accept.

Bu Zao happily accepted the mission. With his ability, he certainly would not let Lu Xiaofeng be in danger, not to mention that Lu Xiaofeng himself was a character with the aura of the protagonist. This mission was a win-win situation.

After receiving the mission, Bu Zao immediately led Lu Xiaofeng to where Ximen Chuxue was. Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuxue were good friends. If someone wanted to harm him, Ximen Chuxue would help.

Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised to see Ximen Chuxue. After greeting him, he introduced Wangcai to him.

Ximen Chuxue's eyes were very cold. Bu Zao happily howled at him and raised his paw to pat his legs to greet him.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled cheerfully: "He is greeting you."

Ximen Chuxue just lowered his head to look at the bright plum blossom paw prints on his white clothes.

Lu Xiaofeng's smile froze for a moment, and he touched his nose: "Excuse me, Wangcai just came back from playing in the water..."

Ximen Chuxue said nothing, got up and left, and walked into the backyard.

Lu Xiaofeng knocked on Wangcai's head and said unhappily: "You are really not afraid of anyone."

Wangcai's eyes flickered, his beard trembled, his tail swayed behind him, and his voice was cheerful: "Woof woof woof woof!"

Ximen Chuxue came back not long after he went out, still wearing a white dress as white as snow. Bu Zao was ready to make a move, and when Ximen Chuxue sat down, he raised his paw actively. Ximen Chuxue looked at him, raised his hand and used his sword to separate him.

The force was neither light nor heavy, but it was enough to prevent a dog from moving forward.

Bu Zao patted his paw on the scabbard, and then regretfully gave up the idea of ​​giving Ximen Chuxue another plum blossom paw print.

Ximen Chuxue said, "I didn't know you liked dogs so much." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Wangcai, smiled with crooked eyes, and said, "Because it is both sensible and cute, Wangcai is very spiritual."

Ximen Chuxue thought of the plum blossom paw print that had just been pressed, and expressed his approval of this statement.

Ximen Chuxue has to kill three evil people who deserve to die in a year. This year's goal has been achieved. There is Wanmei Villa's industry here, so he stayed in this quiet place for a while until he met Lu Xiaofeng.

Ximen Chuxue is a man of few words, with only swords in his eyes. But Lu Xiaofeng is his friend, and he is willing to listen to Lu Xiaofeng's nonsense.

Wangcai is a dog, and even Lu Xiaofeng treats it with a normal attitude towards dogs. He said: "Wangcai will bark when he hears the names of Chongming and Wudu. Don't you think it's strange?"

While he was talking, Bu Zao raised his body and threw himself on him, making a howling sound and wagging his tail.

Although this setting is in line with the identity of the Salted Fish Pie mascot, being teased still makes him feel delicate.

Every time someone mentions the vest's name, he has to react, which is really tiring.

"Look, he recognizes those two, but he has no reaction to me, Lu Xiaofeng, and you, Ximen Chuxue."

Lu Xiaofeng gestured to Ximen Chuxue, with a happy expression.

And Wangcai responded to his words, but when he heard the names of the two people, he didn't react at all. He tilted his head to look at Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuxue, as if he was wondering who the two names were.

Ximen Chuxue was slightly surprised, but did not react much: "Could those two be its owners?"

"I don't know either..." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Wangcai and said, "Those two are very famous in the underworld, and they seem to know each other, but no one said they wanted to find a dog of Wangcai's."

The red rope on Wangcai's neck was faintly visible, and the golden fish-shaped pendant was very bright among the light golden hair of the scarf.

Ximen Chuxue's whereabouts in the underworld were kept secret. He was not arrogant at all except when he was hunting down the villains on the killing list.

So when the assassin from Qingyi Building showed up to interrogate Lu Xiaofeng, he didn't even have time to ask the question before Ximen Chuxue's sword was across his neck. The cold touch made the assassin's hair stand on end, and he could only glimpse a patch of white in the corner of his eye.

Most assassins like to strike in the dead of night because it's quiet and there's no hindrance. They kill and run, but sometimes that can be a disadvantage.

There's not even a gap to escape.

Bu Zao rushed out of the house and bumped into Lu Xiaofeng's calf.

Lu Xiaofeng was originally frowning and thinking hard about what he had done to attract a assassin, but after being hit, he came back to his senses, looked down at Wangcai, and then looked at the assassin in front of him.

Ximen Chuxue saw that Lu Xiaofeng had no clue, so he snatched the sword from the killer and forced him into the house to talk.

The killer was ordered to interrogate Lu Xiaofeng, but he was the one being interrogated.

After being forced to tell that he was from Qingyi Building, he said to Lu Xiaofeng: "What did you do? Don't you know it yourself?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "...What did I do?"

Huo Xiu certainly couldn't let anyone connect himself to the head of Qingyi Building, so even the killer didn't know what Lu Xiaofeng had done.

The three people and the dog looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Bu Zao was happy.

So no one knows the reason?

Ximen Chuxue thrust the sword in his hand forward, and his expression was not good after being disturbed.

The killer took a breath of cold air and secretly regretted that he had not investigated the situation in advance.

Bu Zao stretched out his claws and patted his knees: "Woof woof woof!!"

It was useless to regret at this time.

Ximen Chuxue's strength was greatly enhanced in the martial arts world. Even if the killer of Qingyi Building was strong, he had no power to fight back in front of Ximen Chuxue.

If he acted rashly, he would be beheaded.

Lu Xiaofeng really didn't understand what he had done to make someone hire the killer of Qingyi Building to interrogate him.

The killer said, "You must have done something, think about

it carefully!" Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly, "I can't think of anything no matter how hard I try."

The killer stared at him and said, "In that case, then let me go. No one ordered me to kill you!" As

he spoke, blood flowed from his neck.

Ximen Chuxue and Lu Xiaofeng looked at each other, and then put down their swords.

The killer looked around and fled before the two of them regretted it. He stepped over the threshold and watched his back disappear under the moon.

If the side quest is not completed, Qingyi Building will send someone.
