About half an hour after he left, there was suddenly movement in the grass again.
At the same time, two figures came galloping in the night. When they arrived, they were looking around when they heard a rustling sound from the bushes. They hurried forward to pull up "Long Pingzhang" who was supposed to be dead. They saw that person stood up with his hands on his neck, and whispered: "Oh my God, it's too fast. How did you practice? Even if you have been practicing sword since your mother's womb, you can't be this fast, right? That's faster than lightning. At the beginning, I really thought I was dead. Oh my God, it's so scary. He is not a human being."
The other two men in black pulled off their masks and laughed, "What do you think? He's the owner of Mingyu Tower. Without such little ability, how can he lead the martial arts world of the six southern provinces?"
"The worst thing is, I clearly died with my eyes open, but when he came to pick my nose, he didn't even help me close my eyelids. Do you know how hard it was for me to keep my eyes open? I almost got exposed, okay? This guy is such a beast. When I heard what he said, I was thinking about finding a place to bury me, but he kicked me into the bushes over there. Fortunately, I had a herbal bag with me, otherwise I would have been eaten by snakes, insects, rats and ants."
This guy who was so powerful that he could even hide it from Su Donglou was either a chatterbox or too angry about Su Donglou's behavior of killing without burying him. He kept angrily accusing him of being unfair. He muttered like this for a long time, but heard his companion beside him say: "Okay, the master is still waiting for our reply. Tell me, did Su Donglou hesitate before killing you? Did he show reluctance in his eyes? What did he say?"
"Damn, that was a Thunder Sword, okay? No, it wasn't a Thunder Sword. It wasn't as domineering as a Thunder Sword at all. It should be said that it was a fairy from the sky, silent and undetectable. That one sword took my life. What the hell was he hesitating about? It was so domineering and swift. I almost suspected that I was the enemy who killed his father. Otherwise, how could he be so cruel and not even say a polite word?"
The man disguised as Long Pingzhang still covered his neck and made indignant accusations. After thinking for a while, he said, "But after killing me, he did say a few words. He said, "Don't blame me on the road to the underworld. It's just that you shouldn't have come back to life. You shouldn't have ruined our plan." He said these words in the manner of Su Donglou, and even the voice and tone were imitated vividly.
"Okay, Third Brother, go back and take good care of yourself. Su Donglou's sword is not so easy to block. By the way, why don't you quickly peel off the skin and blood bag on your neck? Do you feel comfortable?"
Someone said something, and the man called Lao San peeled off two pieces of leather from his neck, which were thick on the sides and thin in the middle, and two blood sacs as thick as fingers. One of them had been broken. All the blood inside had flowed out.
Once the leather was removed, it showed that the man had a thin neck and a big head. It was really weird. So after he put on the leather, his neck became as thick as that of an ordinary person, so as not to arouse Su Donglou's suspicion. Even so, there was a deep scar on that thin neck, which had already scabbed over. Everyone rushed forward to bandage him, and then the third brother said with lingering fear: "What a powerful swordsmanship. If I hadn't been prepared, this sword would have cut my throat. Even so, my blood vessels were also injured. Fortunately, he walked fast, otherwise I would have spent half an hour fighting with him in the bushes and would have bled to death."
At that moment, several people sneaked back to the bamboo building, wrote a letter to explain the situation described by the third brother in detail, then put the letter in a small paper tube, tied it to the foot of a carrier pigeon, and released it.
Su Donglou returned to Hangzhou the next day. As soon as he entered Mingyu Tower, he heard someone report that Lu Fengyu wanted to see him. He was stunned and thought to himself that he usually lived in Mingyu Villa in Hangzhou, which was very close to the palace. Lu Fengyu had never been to Mingyu Tower, his old nest. What happened today? Even if he wanted to find out the news, he was too impatient, wasn't he?
Although he was confused, he showed great enthusiasm. He welcomed Lu Fengyu in personally, and then dismissed his attendants. Sure enough, he smiled and asked, "As soon as you entered Hangzhou City, I got the news. I couldn't wait for you to report to me, so I rushed over to ask. How is it? Judging from your happy expression and the time, this time things should be going smoothly?"
"It went very smoothly. I've said it before, to kill such a weak nerd, I would not use a butcher knife but a top-grade Japanese sword." In that era, a top-grade Japanese sword could cut gold and jade, and was considered a top-notch sword. Only generals in the army could wear it.
Lu Fengyu laughed and said, "You don't know, this person is responsible for a very serious matter, so I must let you handle it personally. I want him to die without a doubt." At this point, he tried again, "Did this person say anything before he died?"
Su Donglou said proudly: "You are not in the martial arts world, no wonder you don't know my reputation. Under my sword, how can there be a ghost that can speak? He died at that time, don't worry." As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and frowned, "But before I took action, I heard him mumbling a few words, as if he was looking for something, but he never found it."
"That's right." Lu Fengyu let out a long sigh and murmured, "If he had found me, I would have been unable to sleep or eat. Now this hidden danger is finally dead, it's a good death."
"What is hidden in the Immortal Ridge? Why are you so nervous? Could it be that there are thousands of troops hidden there?" Su Donglou laughed, but saw Lu Fengyu looking at him, shaking his head and laughing: "There are not thousands of troops, but what is hidden there is something more powerful than thousands of troops."
Su Donglou's heart skipped a beat. He had only asked casually and had not thought of getting an answer, but unexpectedly Lu Fengyu told him, without even playing any language traps, and just told him directly. Looking at the sincere smile on the other person's face, Su Donglou could not help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Lu Fengyu asked with a smile, a hint of curiosity in his clear eyes. He now completely trusted Su Donglou, and the grudges between them in the past were written off. He only wanted to win over the other party, so the expression on his face was much more lively, adding some vitality to his facial features that were not originally outstanding.
"I'm sighing. It feels so damn good to be trusted by others." Su Donglou spoke the truth, but he turned his eyes away slightly, not daring to look at Lu Fengyu. In the summer, the weather in Jiangnan is hot, and this guy ran out wearing only a thin white gauze shirt, not knowing how to be shy. But now there should be no one in Hangzhou who doesn't know his identity, so there won't be any blind dandy who will come forward to tease him and seek death, right?
Lu Fengyu laughed, said nothing, ate a few snacks, and brushed aside the complaint.
He seemed very excited, so after eating the snacks, he said to Su Donglou: "Be patient and wait for a few more days. I will take you to Shenxianling. That is the basis for our great cause. But now it is not possible. As long as the whereabouts of Duan Tingxuan and his wife are not found out, I dare not act rashly."
Su Donglou said quickly: "Leave this to me. No matter if they are in Niutou Mountain, hiding in your kitchen, or lurking somewhere in Jiangnan, I will find them out for you within half a month."
Lu Fengyu lowered his eyes and smiled, "Then everything depends on Brother Su. Okay, I'll go back first. You can come to my place tonight. I'll ask Madam Wang to prepare some delicious dishes to celebrate your success."
Su Donglou licked his lips, swallowed his saliva quietly, and thought to himself, Invite me over? Let me stay there overnight? Forget it, forget it, it's time, don't be lustful, be patient, just like this guy often says: Good food is never too late. Hehe! In the future, if I make great contributions, with Tingxuan helping me, what can I not get?
When they arrived at Lu Fengyu's house in the evening, Su Nuannuan had indeed prepared a sumptuous banquet. The two of them toasted each other, and it seemed like Lu Fengyu opened his heart in front of Su Donglou for the first time. He ate and drank happily, and it was already three o'clock in the morning when they finished the meal.
He knew that he was a little tipsy, so he asked people to clear the remaining food, stood up to see the guest off, and walked Su Donglou out, laughing and shouting, "I rarely drink so much, but you want to go back. I told you to just sleep in a guest room in my courtyard. Why bother? Let's have another good drink tomorrow. Madam Wang's cooking skills are really good. I... I wish she was my wife, ah!"
"You are drunk, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Donglou was frightened by this guy's incoherent talk and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly called out Luqi and Hongluo's names, asking them to help Lu Fengyu back to the room. Before he could finish his words, he was violently pulled by him, and Su Donglou was caught off guard and leaned his whole body on Lu Fengyu.
The usually calm Mingyu Tower Master felt his body "swish" as if struck by lightning, and his whole body seemed to be numb. Just as he was about to struggle, he heard Lu Fengyu whisper in his ear: "You have to investigate the identities of the couple carefully, but...if you find out, let me know first. This matter is between you and me. I will help you to explain it to the prince in the future, understand?"
Was this drunken talk or the truth? Su Donglou looked at Lu Fengyu in astonishment, and saw that his face was flushed, and he was obviously drunk, but his eyes were still very clear.
He nodded stupidly, and then he saw Lu Fengyu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to push him and said: "Okay, if you insist on leaving, I won't keep you, just get out now, I...I have to go back and have a good sleep."
At this time, Luqi and Hongluo came and helped Lu Fengyu turn back to his room. Su Donglou also went out of the courtyard, followed the path of the palace to the west corner gate, woke up the gatekeeper to open the door, and then went straight away.
The gatekeeper didn't dare to complain in front of Su Donglou, because she knew that this was the prince's distinguished guest, and she, a lowly servant, couldn't afford to offend him. When she went back to her room to rest, she couldn't help but complain, saying something like "You're not sleeping in the middle of the night, being a night owl, and making us restless." She kept muttering for half a quarter of an hour before blowing out the candle and lying down to sleep again.
