In the side room, Lu Hongti sat on a chair with his eyes closed, resting.

Li Yun sat opposite her, wiping the black iron spear in his hand.

If you look at these two people alone, they really have the demeanor of those peerless masters in martial arts movies.

But when the eyes turned to Zuo Yu and Ye Zixun, the style of the whole room immediately changed.

I saw the two men lying on the wall, happily eavesdropping on the sounds next door, looking at each other from time to time and laughing. Their two handsome faces, which should have been sunny and cheerful, now revealed a hint of vulgarity.

“…”

Finally, Lu Hongti seemed unable to bear it anymore.

She opened her eyes, glanced at the two of them with a frown, then decisively pulled out the long knife on the table and threw it over.

Zuo Yu didn't even turn his head. He waved his hand, accurately grabbed the handle of the knife in mid-air, and threw it back with his backhand.

"call out--"

The knife light broke through the air, turned into an afterimage and flew into the scabbard on the table.

Lu Hongti's hand pressing on the scabbard trembled slightly, then he frowned and reminded in a low voice.

"My two lords, eavesdropping through the wall is not the behavior of a gentleman."

"That's fine. My third brother and I are not gentlemen."

“…”

Lu Hongti was speechless for a moment and looked at the two of them in surprise, as if he had never expected that there would be such shameless people in the world.

Thinking of this, Lu Hongti looked at Li Yun, the only one who was still serious.

"Brother Li, your two brothers..."

"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Lu." Li Yun said with a smile, "My two brothers are not bad people. Although they have some bad tastes, they are not lacking in justice. Things like this are already the limit of what they can do. They can't do anything more shameless."

...Isn’t this shameless enough?

Lu Hongti twitched the corner of his mouth and did not respond.

Just then, Zuo Yu and Ye Zixun suddenly came over.

The former held a sword, leaned against a pillar, closed his eyes and rested, looking like a peerless master.

The latter even jumped directly onto the beam, sat on it, and let one leg hang down, like a lazy playboy.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Hongti was stunned for a moment, wondering what the hell they were up to.

The next second, Lu Hongti heard the sound of the door of the next room being gently opened.

…It turns out that Ning Yi and his wife are coming over!

Lu Hongti suddenly realized and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Are these two funny guys here to assassinate Fang La? !

“Knock knock——”

There was a knock on the door. The corner of Lu Hongti's mouth twitched. He glanced at Ye Zixun on the beam, as well as Zuo Yu and Li Yun who were motionless. Seeing that they seemed to have no intention of getting up to open the door, he sighed, got up and opened the door.

When the door opened, Ning Yi recognized Lu Hongti in disguise at first sight, and then was stunned by Zuo Yu and the other two in the room at second sight.

In his previous life, this guy was the president of a group comparable to the two Ma's. He had seen all kinds of intrigues and conspiracies. After coming to this world, the similar games between people no longer interested him.

On the contrary, it was the so-called world of martial arts that Ning Yi had never seen in his previous life that made him fascinated.

Now, Zuo Yu and the other two each struck a pose, and combined with their reputations in the martial arts world and Su Tan'er's solemn description, Ning Yi immediately felt awe-inspiring respect in his heart.

But no matter how respectful he was, he had to deal with Miss Lu's matter first.

After entering the side room, Su Tan'er did not beat around the bush and directly asked whether Lu Hongti and her husband were old acquaintances.

Lu Hongti didn't reply, but just glanced at Ning Yi.

Ning Yi bowed and said with a smile, "Master."

Su Tan'er was startled when these words were spoken. After a moment of hesitation, she gathered her skirt and was about to kneel down.

Lu Hongti blinked and held her up with his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I can't accept you as my disciple."

The three of them chatted for a few more sentences, and Su Tan'er realized that although Lu Hongti did not acknowledge the master-disciple relationship, he did teach Ning Yi kung fu. This was the case of a master-disciple relationship in reality, not in name only.

Zuo Yu and others have read the original novel and know it better than Su Tan'er.

Back then, Lu Hongti went to Jiangning to assassinate a captain named Song Xian. She was rescued by Ning Yi after being injured. Ning Yi was very interested in martial arts, so he tried every means to learn martial arts from her.

Since then, the two have had a connection.

After Ning Yi knew Lu Hongti's identity, he gave her advice and formulated many development strategies...

After chatting for a few words, Ning Yi turned his head to look at Zuo Yu and the other two who were acting like masters in the room, straightened his robes, and bowed.

"I am deeply grateful to the three of you for escorting my wife all the way. If you have any important matters in the future, please come to the Su family to find me!"

"No need for that." Zuo Yu opened his eyes and said calmly, "Madam Ning made a plan and concealed the truth to help the three of us sneak into Hangzhou. We are helping each other, so there is no need to be polite."

“…”

Lu Hongti twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Zuo Yu in surprise, as if he didn't recognize this cold and mysterious swordsman in front of him.

Influenced by Su Tan'er, Ning Yi had a preconceived notion that Zuo Yu and the other two were truly heroes who served their country and the people, so he did not think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, he believed that this was the true style of a hidden master.

Although Zuo Yu said that there was no need to be polite, the favor should still be remembered.

Ning Yi memorized the appearance of Zuo Yu and the other two, then turned to look at Lu Hongti.

Su Tan'er was considerate and good at reading people's expressions. When she saw that her husband seemed to be hesitant to speak, she knew that there were some things she was not comfortable hearing, so she served tea to Lu Hongti as an elder and then left the room.

After his wife left, Ning Yi coughed and bowed to Zuo Yu and others.

"Three warriors, I have something to discuss with Miss Lu..."

"Just talk about it here if you have anything to say!"

Lu Hongti shook his head, glanced at Zuo Yu who was pretending to be calm, and said, "These three people have deep inner strength, far more than me. As long as they don't leave the yard, any movement will not escape their ears."

“…”

Zuo Yu opened his eyes and said unhappily, "Miss Lu, what do you mean by this? Would a great hero like me eavesdrop on your private conversation between master and disciple?"

Lu Hongti did not comment.

Ning Yi seemed to come to his senses as well and looked at Zuo Yu thoughtfully.

Zuo Yu coughed lightly and said, "But then again, we already know Miss Lu's identity. There is really no need for her to avoid us regarding matters concerning Luliang Mountain."

"……oh?"

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Lu Hongti.

Lu Hongti nodded, indicating that his identity had indeed been known to them.

Ning Yi's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Lu Hongti in some confusion.

Lu Hongti understood what he meant, shook his head, and said bluntly in front of Zuo Yu: "I know your ability, but I still advise you not to take advantage of these three brothers."

"Although these three people have some strange personalities, their martial arts skills are unprecedented in my life."

"Even if my master was still here, or even if Zhou Tong, the best iron-armed warrior in the world, was here, I don't think he would be a match for them."

...So exaggerated?

Ning Yi frowned slightly, without doubting the truthfulness of Lu Hongti's words.

After all, Lu Hongti himself is the strongest martial arts master he has ever seen.

Even she had to admit defeat in front of these three people, which showed that these three people were indeed true peerless masters!

But is it really okay to just say it in front of them?

Ning Yi coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, then smiled and bowed to Zuo Yu.

"My three warriors, I am truly sorry. Miss Lu's identity is sensitive. For the sake of Lu Liang's safety, I have to consider the worst possible outcome. I did not intend to target you three. If you three warriors are dissatisfied, you may as well beat me up, which can be regarded as a way to vent your anger..."

"That's what you said!"

Zuo Yu rolled up his sleeves, eager to try.

Lu Hongti was startled and quickly drew out his two swords, guarding Ning Yi vigilantly.

Ning Yi didn't expect that this guy would not play by the rules. After being slightly stunned, he looked at Zuo Yu thoughtfully.

Based on Su Tan'er's previous description, Ning Yi had a preconceived idea that these three people were truly the so-called hidden masters.

But now, after meeting them, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something familiar about the three people in front of him, especially Zuo Yu...

After a moment of silence, Ning Yi gently pushed Lu Hongti away and said seriously: "I am serious."

Zuo Yu also looked at him and said seriously, "Think it over carefully. I am serious too!"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter at the same time.

Halfway through laughing, Ning Yi suddenly asked, "What's your zodiac sign, Brother Zuo?"

Zuo Yu's smile faded. He was not fooled. Instead, he looked at Ning Yi in surprise: "Star...constellation?"

Ning Yi stared at Zuo Yu's expression for a long time before shaking his head: "Nothing, Brother Zuo, just treat it as nonsense. But Brother Zuo has traveled all over the country for so many years, have you ever heard of the Imperial Jade Liquor?"

"…Palace Jade Liquor?"

Zuo Yu stroked his chin and said, "I have tasted this imperial wine, but I have never heard of the Jade Liquor... well."

“…”

Ning Yi frowned slightly and looked at Zuo Yu's expression. Seeing that he did not reveal any flaws, he skipped the topic and continued chatting.

Afterwards, Ning Yi used poems, jokes and even advertising slogans from his previous life to test Zuo Yu during the chat, but to no avail.

Lu Hongti couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him with a dark face: "Ning Liheng, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"No wonder I always felt this guy looked familiar. It turns out he's somewhat similar to you..."

"Forget it, come out with me. If they want to eavesdrop, let them eavesdrop!"

After saying that, Lu Hongti grabbed the two swords, turned around and left the side room.

...somewhat similar to me?

Ning Yi seemed to be thinking about something, then he looked at Zuo Yu deeply, bowed, said "excuse me", and left with her.

After the two left, Ye Zixun, who was hanging on the beam, couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zuo Yu also smiled and sent a message to his two companions, "Ning Yi's intuition is really sharp. I just couldn't help but react according to my temper, and he actually noticed something."

Li Yun smiled and shook his head: "I will tell him sooner or later..."

Ye Zixun rolled over and landed on the ground, and asked curiously, "By the way, Lao Zuo, at such a close distance, you should have seen his soul, right?"

"How is it, is he a fellow villager, or an indigenous time traveler?"
