Chapter 031 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue (2000 Nutrient Solution plus additional content)
Pei Rui was unwilling to accept this: "But they... Ugh!"
Lu Xiaofeng covered his mouth with his hand. This kid was really strong. He almost failed to control him. He secretly used his internal strength and used his telepathic finger to clamp his knife, and then dragged him upstairs.
This private room was reserved for the owner of Woyunlou. Except for him and Lu Xiaofeng, no one else used it.
Every year when Lu Xiaofeng came here, the owner would accompany him for a few drinks if he was free.
However, he was busy with the business of Woyunlou most of the time. Even if he accompanied Lu Xiaofeng to drink, he could only accompany him for a few hours at most. In the end, he would still let Lu Xiaofeng drink alone here for a while.
Lu Xiaofeng was very familiar with this room. After dragging Pei Rui in, he pressed him on the Luohan couch by the window and went back to close the door to prevent Pei Rui from running away.
The young man was a little uneasy in the unfamiliar environment. He held the Luohan couch with one hand and held the long sword tightly with the other hand. He looked around vigilantly with his blind eyes, as if this would make him more focused, and listened to the movements in the room with his ears tilted.
Lu Xiaofeng picked up the plate of snacks on the table and sat next to Pei Rui.
Pei Rui moved at the sound and turned to face him: "I can't be wrong, those people..."
Lu Xiaofeng picked up a piece of cake and handed it forward: "Do you want to eat?"
The boy was interrupted before he finished speaking. His expression did not change obviously, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Only his nose moved slightly: "What is it?"
"Kidney bean cake, to be precise, it is a kidney bean cake made by the owner of Wo Yunlou."
He was a little confused, as if he didn't know what kidney bean cake was. He remained alert to unfamiliar things, a little curious, and didn't know where to start.
Lu Xiaofeng stuffed the cake directly into his mouth.
System: [Are the things here really that delicious? ]
Xue Chen: [It's delicious, not sweet, and especially fragrant and soft! 】
Lu Xiaofeng also ate a piece and said with a smile: "The owner of Wo Yun Lou is an old friend of mine, named Jiang Yunxin. When he was young, he was a handsome man like the bright moon and green bamboo. He loves cooking and his favorite thing is to cook. Since Wo Yun Lou opened, it has been more than ten years, and the business has always been prosperous."
Pei Rui half-closed his eyes and swallowed the cake expressionlessly.
Lu Xiaofeng handed him another snack of another flavor: "The business of Wo Yun Lou has remained the same for ten years, but Boss Jiang is no longer the same as before."
After saying this, he deliberately stopped and kept the secret.
Pei Rui chewed slowly and swallowed it before asking, "What's wrong with him?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "He not only likes to cook, but also likes to eat, and the food he cooks is delicious. After eating like this for more than ten years, he has changed from a handsome young man to a fat man with a big belly."
Pei Rui didn't react. He took another bite of the snack, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lu Xiaofeng smiled awkwardly: "The snacks made by Boss Jiang taste good, right?"
Pei Rui nodded.
Lu Xiaofeng poured him a glass of water, which comforted him.
There were heavy footsteps outside, and Pei Rui immediately stopped what he was doing, holding the long knife tightly, ready to go.
Lu Xiaofeng was really afraid that the moment the person opened the door, he would be cut in half by the knife.
He held Pei Rui's hand: "Don't be nervous, it's Boss Jiang who's here."
Pei Rui: "That fat guy?"
Lu Xiaofeng: "Don't say that to his face. Although Boss Jiang has no intention of losing weight, he still misses the old days in his heart and doesn't like people calling him fat."
Pei Rui nodded.
The door opened and a fat figure walked in.
Jiang Yunxin was wearing a blue cotton suit. He was very tall, walked calmly, and had a very good figure. You could vaguely see his former gentleness and handsomeness.
The remaining eyes fell on the young man sitting on the couch with an awe-inspiring aura. Boss Jiang paused, looked at Lu Xiaofeng, and said with a smile: "You brought a friend here without telling me in advance."
Lu Xiaofeng: "I didn't have a good time these days. I have been sleeping in the open air. I passed by your place and was really hungry, so I suddenly thought of coming here for a meal. After all, the case has not been solved yet. After this meal, I still have to run around. I don't know when I can taste your cooking again."
Boss Jiang was very happy because Lu Xiaofeng was a person who knew how to eat. This sentence coming out of Lu Xiaofeng's mouth was the greatest compliment to his cooking skills.
He stepped aside so that the servants behind him could bring the dishes over.
Boss Jiang said, "Although I was cooking when you came, that meal was not for me, but for a guest who paid a lot of money two days in advance. After it was cooked, it had to be delivered to his house. I could only prepare some side dishes for you first, and I would cook for this side dish after I finished his portion."
Lu Xiaofeng: "That's really hard work, Boss Jiang!"
Boss Jiang: "We have been friends for so many years, don't be too polite. I can't stay with you for long, I have something to do, please call the servants, you eat, I'll go and get busy first."
After Boss Jiang left, Lu Xiaofeng called Pei Rui to sit at the table.
He was very familiar with the side dishes here, picked up some delicious ones, and put them on the plate in front of Pei Rui.
Pei Rui was still indifferent.
Lu Xiaofeng thought for a while: "Can you eat it yourself?"
Pei Rui nodded.
Lu Xiaofeng shoved the chopsticks in his direction and said, "Try this drunken crab claws... Never mind, eat something else first."
Lu Xiaofeng took the small bowl of crab claws, peeled off the hard shell on the outside, leaving only the tender white crab meat, dipped it in a sweet and sour slightly spicy sauce, and put it on Pei Rui's plate.
Pei Rui ate slowly and gracefully.
After a while, the door opened again.
The waiter came in with a serving tray, on which were placed two hot dishes that had just come out of the pot, one dish was fried ham with bean sprouts, and the other was a hot pot of shabu-shabu mutton.
The two dishes were placed on the table, and Lu Xiaofeng was about to pick up the chopsticks when Pei Rui suddenly slapped his hand with his chopsticks, making a crisp sound.
His movements were too hasty, and he even used his internal strength. The two were so close that two red marks appeared on Lu Xiaofeng's hands.
Lu Xiaofeng: "What's wrong?"
Pei Rui shook his head.
Lu Xiaofeng: "What did you find?"
The young man in black said calmly, "I don't know."
Lu Xiaofeng was helpless. He thought about what happened just now and tried to figure out Pei Rui's logic: "You don't like Boss Jiang?"
Pei Rui shook his head.
Lu Xiaofeng asked again, "You want to eat this dish yourself and don't want to share it with me?"
Pei Rui still shook his head.
"Why is that? You can't be afraid that you will get fat if you eat the dishes made by a fat man, right?"
After saying that, Lu Xiaofeng laughed to himself.
Pei Rui reached out and touched the table, touched the plate, reached out and touched the edge of the plate, dipped a little bit of the soup, and put it to the tip of his nose to smell it.
Lu Xiaofeng: "You can't eat the bean sprouts, but you can have mutton hotpot, right?"
Pei Rui: "No!"
Lu Xiaofeng: "Why? You have to give me a reason, otherwise how can I give up a rare meal just for a few short sentences?"
As they were talking, a few more dishes were served.
The dishes were fragrant and the portions were not small. Together with the previous dishes, they were placed on the eight-immortal table.
Lu Xiaofeng said to the waiter, "Your boss cooked so fast this time?"
The waiter said, "The ingredients in the kitchen are ready, and all kinds of soup bases have been cooked. The fire in the stove has never been extinguished, so it will be cooked faster. However, the old duck and spare ribs that need to be stewed will have to wait a while."
Lu Xiaofeng: "I see."
After everyone left, the room was extremely quiet.
At this time, a faint flute sound suddenly came from outside, very light and shallow. If the window was not open and no one was talking in the room, even if Lu Xiaofeng had a deep inner strength, he might not be able to hear it.
His face changed, and he looked at Pei Rui: "Did you hear the flute, so you didn't let me touch these dishes?"
Pei Rui was still sniffing the soup on his fingertips. After hearing what Lu Xiaofeng said, he took his fingers away, tilted his head, and looked a little confused.
Xue Chen: [Did you hear the sound? ]
System: [No. ]
Xue Chen: [Never mind, it's normal for a blind person to have sensitive hearing, which is always more reliable than intuition. ]
System: [You said it as if you were going to explain...]
Xue Chen: [Didn't my synchronization rate increase at all in that performance just now? ]
System: [No... Wait, it's starting to increase now, and it's still increasing... It stopped, synchronization rate +7. ]
Xue Chen: [Increase internal strength and hearing. 】
System: 【It's done, [Internal Force] full level, [Hearing] level 2. Why don't you add moves? 】
Xue Chen: 【To make it easier for me to edit the character. The cheat code for this vest role-playing mission is too big. Although it is very difficult at the beginning, once you find the direction, you can get the synchronization rate within a few days. Every time you upgrade the skills, it can be equivalent to others' efforts for more than ten or twenty years. The gap between the past and the present is too obvious, and I have to find a way to make it up myself...】
The system felt that it was being praised, and after thinking carefully, it seemed to be scolded.
It really couldn't figure it out, and it happened that there was a sudden noise downstairs at this time, so it shut up and continued to watch the show.
Lu Xiaofeng was about to make eye contact with Pei Rui, but he was on guard, staring straight ahead, his gray eyes dull and unable to see his hints. Lu
Xiaofeng grabbed Pei Rui's wrist and
said, "Let's go down and have a look." Pei Rui wanted to catch the flute player more than the group of minions downstairs who were controlled by the sound of the flute, so he didn't stand up with Lu Xiaofeng's strength.
"Xiao Pei?" Lu Xiaofeng's voice became anxious, "Did you lick your fingers just now?"
System: [Hahaha, so funny.]
Xue Chen put the system into the small dark room.
Pei Rui said coldly: "You just licked your fingers."
Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief: "Did you find something again?"
Pei Rui distinguished the wind direction in the room, picked up the long sword and stood up, lowered his head, and frowned slightly: "Don't move here, find a place to hide first, I'll catch the flute player."
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
Is this the feeling of being cared for?
Did Xiao Pei have any misunderstandings about him?
Regardless of whether Pei Rui had misunderstandings about Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng did misunderstand this cold and taciturn boy.
He didn't dare to speculate on the other party with common sense, and after seeing Pei Rui's martial arts, Lu Xiaofeng felt that maybe he really had a way to catch the flute player, so he didn't stop him.
He watched helplessly as the young man turned over and jumped over the window. The long sword got stuck in the window. He pulled it hard and the whole window broke. The young man in black left in a carefree manner.
Lu Xiaofeng: "..."
This is too reckless.
-
Pei Rui jumped out of the window, stepped on the bricks beside him, and landed lightly on the ground.
He ran towards the direction of the flute with the long sword in his backhand, and unblocked the system: [Synchronization rate.]
System: [Synchronization rate +3, Wuwu, you only have synchronization rate in your heart, and there is no place for me.]
Xue Chen: [Increase hearing.]
While the system was humming, it upgraded his [Hearing] to level 3.
After the hearing was improved, many sounds in the ears became clear, and he could roughly guess the direction from which the flute sound came.
Pei Rui looked fierce and had a scar on his face. Passersby saw him running with a knife in hand and moved out of his way. With Pei Rui's 4th intuition and 4th level internal strength, he had a smooth journey.
Following the sound of the flute, Pei Rui circled the wall for a while, listened for a long time, and compared it with his original memory. He roughly determined the height of the wall, used his long knife to gain leverage, climbed up the brick gap, and quickly climbed up the wall. With his back to the flute player, he stepped lightly and gradually approached.
When he was almost there, the man turned around and asked, "Who?"
Pei Rui rushed over like a cheetah, his black clothes blown up by the wind. He raised his knife and chopped it diagonally. The touch from the tip of the knife was very strange, and warm liquid dripped on his face. There was a sound of him falling to the ground, and then there was no sound.
He threw the knife away, listened for a while, and made sure there was no unusual movement. He walked forward slowly, and stopped to search the body when his foot kicked something soft. He found a bamboo flute, three pages of paper, and a thumb-sized porcelain bottle.
The doctor checked all the items on the flute player that the original body caught, and there was no poison on them.
Pei Rui felt that this time's should not be poisonous either, and he planned to drug himself and Lu Xiaofeng, so he must have drugs on him, so he took the risk to hunt him down alone.
Ma Jia's skills are not yet full level, and his strength is not strong. Pei Rui is not sure that he can capture the opponent alive, so he
should be safe and strive to kill him with one blow. In the last fight, if he continued to fight, he could kill Fang Yingkan, relying on his brain. If they really fought in strength, he would not be Fang Yingkan's opponent.
Only Lu Xiaofeng thought that he had no brains.
And Fang Yingkan himself... probably thought that if Lu Xiaofeng hadn't stopped him, he would be the winner of the fight.
Pei Rui put away his things and touched the wound on the body. It was not particularly deep. The cause of death was that the knife cut through the neck, so there was blood on his face.
[Set synchronization rate +10, current vest synchronization rate 51%, available skill points 10. ]
Xue Chen: [It seems that Pei Rui's role-playing skills are not character settings, but actual actions. ]
System: [He is a swordsman, and swordsmen must use swords. ]
Xue Chen: [I don't want to kill innocent people... How can I get in touch with the core characters? ]
He added [Imagery] to the full level, [Intuition] to level 4, and there is still one skill point left.
Pei Rui held the corpse in his left hand and the long sword in his right hand, and calmly jumped down the city wall and returned to Woyunxuan.
The body was probably badly wounded. People along the way were so frightened that they cried out. Before Pei Rui could even walk out of the street, the government officials rushed over.
The yamen runners surrounded him, their voices trembling slightly: "What's in your hand?"
Pei Rui loosened his grip and dropped the body on the ground.
He did not make too many expressions, and because of this, he seemed even more arrogant, as if he was actively provoking.
The knife in Pei Rui's hand matched the wounds on the body. There were blood stains on his face and clothes. He looked unruly and murderous. It was obvious that he was the murderer.
Yamen runners: "You are so brave! How dare you kill someone in broad daylight! Come on, take him down!"
The yamen runners stood where they were, and no one moved.
No one dared to get close to him.
Pei Rui waited for a while, but heard no sound, so he picked up the body again and walked forward.
The yamen runners retreated unconsciously, and they looked at each other. In the end, they did not dare to stop Pei Rui, and followed him from a distance and came to Wo Yun Tower.
Many people died in Wo Yun Tower, and the timid ones fled outside. Only Boss Jiang, Lu Xiaofeng, and a few gangsters who did not have time to take poison were left inside.
Pei Rui walked in, blocking the sunlight from the door and casting a large shadow.
The people in the restaurant looked towards the door, and their breathing stagnated after seeing Pei Rui. Some people even stepped forward and shouted, "You guys hurry up, I'll cover you!"
Pei Rui tilted his head slightly.
Lu Xiaofeng said awkwardly: "He is my companion, not the murderer."
The government servants came and heard what Lu Xiaofeng said, and couldn't help saying: "Can't you see the corpse in his hand? He just killed her not long ago, and the blood hasn't cooled down yet."
"No." Pei Rui threw the corpse to Lu Xiaofeng's feet and corrected her seriously, "The corpse is the murderer, and I am the victim."
