Chapter 1 001

It was drizzling.

The spring in Bianjing City is always warm, but this year it is late, and it is still cold when it rains.

Looking out from the restaurant facing the street, the green tiles of the wooden houses looked even dimmer under the gray sky.

Only the brown tiles of the stone tower in the distance showed the red and blue glazed light, and the flag of the restaurant nearby was made of brown-red felt.

No, there is another color.

The man leaned out of the window and saw the red color fluttering in the wind, and his eyelids jumped.

The red shadow passed through the rain, so fast that only a trace of afterimage could be seen, and it had already climbed through the window and sat opposite him.

"Lu Xiaoji--"

The man who was originally sitting here raised his eyebrows and reached out to grab it, but unfortunately he was still half a step slower than the man sitting opposite him, and watched the other person already have a wine pot in his hand.

The wine in the wine pot swayed.

The man touched his beard wet by the rain with his other hand, and then showed a satisfied and slapping smile.

"Sikong Zhaixing, you are slow."

The man who was here first had a face that he would forget as soon as he saw it, and he really didn't live up to the name. He even rolled his eyes in a very unpresentable way, "It's slow, so I will not fail when it's time to do the right thing. But you..." "

Sure enough, wherever there is a lively place, there is you, Lu Xiaofeng."

This is something that everyone in the martial arts world knows.

Lu Xiaofeng with "four eyebrows" always appears in places where there are idle things, and he will definitely take care of it.

So it's not surprising that Sikong Zhaixing, the "king of thieves", would become friends with Lu Xiaofeng.

Now it is the two of them, sitting together in a restaurant in the capital.

The wine is just the right temperature.

Lu Xiaofeng took a sip of the wine, and then he felt that the coldness in his body was dispelled a lot, "Rather than saying that I am everywhere where there is a lively place, it is better to say..."

"I am everywhere where there is trouble."

Alas.

God knows why he broke two horses just for a bad friend who could trick him into digging earthworms, and arrived in Bianjing before February 15th. He

also relied on his many friends everywhere, and once he arrived in the capital, he used his connections to find Sikong Zhaixing's whereabouts.

And all this was due to the note that the thief had someone send him half a month ago.

He asked with his handsome face that was always cynical: "What do you mean when you said you wanted to steal a treasure from the wedding banquet?"

Lu Xiaofeng likes excitement, but he doesn't like to be entangled in life-threatening troubles, so he didn't like to go to Bianjing since a few years ago.

Who made it so that in a place like the capital, people without some skills can't stand firm and can't surface, let alone become a large-scale gang. Those

who can leave a legacy for people to hear must not be simple people.

In the current Bianjing city, at least everyone knows that, not to mention the affairs in the court, the disputes in the rivers and lakes alone are already a pool of muddy water.

There is a saying that all the kids on the street would say.

60% thunder, 40% Su.

Thunder is the Liufenbantang of Lei Sun.

Su is the Jinfengxiyulou of Su Mengzhen.

One is the most powerful gang in Kaifeng Prefecture, dominating the martial arts world for 26 years, and the other is the fastest rising force in recent years, with many followers in both the black and white worlds, and it seems to be a sign of replacing the status of Liufenbantang.

As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, so friction is inevitable between the two sides

. So the martial artists in Bianjing City will inevitably be involved and encounter some troubles.

Lu Xiaofeng really doesn't understand why Sikong Zhaixing is so bold that he suddenly wants to come to Bianjing to steal things.

No!

Lu Xiaofeng cursed in his heart: This kid claims that his stealing skills are invincible in the world, and he must compete with the thief Chu Liuxiang. On weekdays, he either takes action when he is in the mood or takes the most difficult things. He probably thinks that

he came at the right time!

He looked at Sikong Zhaixing's disguised face, and he really didn't see any nervousness in him, but only saw that he was extremely ignorant of the world.

If he was not mistaken, Sikong Zhaixing's eyes lit up: "What I want to steal is naturally a treasure that is unique in the world."

"Whose wedding banquet?" Lu Xiaofeng pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "I guess the one you are interested in is not an ordinary wedding banquet. I heard that the daughter of the head of the Lei Zong hall and the owner of the Su Lou have an engagement. It can't be that this marriage is going to be brought to the table, right?"

"The second half of the sentence is wrong, but your first half is right." Sikong Zhaixing answered confidently and proudly, "That was the wedding banquet of the Seven Saints of the Misty Heaven Alliance."

"Oh, no wonder..."

Lu Xiaofeng's voice suddenly stopped on the spot, and then suddenly rose: "Wait, who are you talking about?"

Who is he talking about? !

The Seven Saints of the Misty Heaven Alliance?

Sikong Zhaixing met Lu Xiaofeng's shocked eyes and answered frankly: "You were not in Bianjing before, so you didn't receive the news. The person who is about to marry is Guan Qi, the seventh saint of the Mi Tian League."

Lu Xiaofeng didn't even think about it: "But everyone knows that he is a lunatic..."

Guan Qi, who was suddenly mentioned by Sikong Zhaixing, is more than just a lunatic.

The reason why the black and white forces in Bianjing City can be divided into Liufenbantang and Jinfengxiyulou is precisely because Guan Qi, the leader of Mi Tian League, suddenly went crazy and had no time to manage the huge gang that gathered because of him.

Although Mi Tian League has not been disbanded, with Lu Xiaofeng's intelligence, he would never fail to guess how many of the league members are still loyal to Guan Qi, and how many are undercover agents of Liufenbantang and Jinfengxiyulou.

This gang that used to be so powerful is probably already dead in name only.

Guan Qi's sister, who married Lei Sun, the head of the Liufenbantang, once had the status of Guan Dajie in the martial arts world, and had disappeared for many years, as if she had never appeared.

Because of this, the alliance between Liufenbantang and Mitian League has collapsed for many years.

Now suddenly hearing that he is going to marry is no different from hearing that Master Kugua in the temple is going to return to secular life and marry a wife!

In other words, it is much more shocking.

What kind of woman is it possible to marry someone like Guan Qi?

What's more, Sikong Zhaixing also said that there will be a rare treasure in the world that will appear at Guan Shengzhu's wedding banquet.

Is it because he has been traveling for days and has not woken up and has auditory hallucinations, or has this turbulent Bianjing City finally become something he can't understand?

Sikong Zhaixing smiled: "Lu Xiaoji, but you can't deny that even if Guan Qi is a madman, he is the madman with the best martial arts in the world."

Lu Xiaofeng did not answer.

It seemed that after a long interval, a sigh was heard: "The best in the world..."

The spring rain outside the window mixed with the cold wind and fell down with crackling.

...

In the increasingly heavy rain, pedestrians in Bianjing City disappeared.

The streets and alleys were filled with water, flowing into the river under the arch bridge.

The cosmetics in Xiaotianshui Lane mixed with the apricot blossoms that bloomed and fell in early spring flowed with the water, flowing southeastward until the stone gate in front, and then turned around.

At the turning point, there was another compact courtyard.

Compared with the debauchery over there, there was less noise between the green tiles and green walls here, and it was even a little too quiet.

When Zhu Xiaoyao reached out to close the window, she could even smell a dead dampness in the cracks of the wall wet by the spring rain.

This made it even more difficult for people to find that one of the key strongholds of the Seven Saints of Mitian would be here.

But perhaps, hiding in the market is more suitable for this already declining underworld gang.

"Don't you feel cold standing at the window?" A voice came from behind her.

"With inner strength... With inner strength, you won't feel cold."

Zhu Xiaoyao was wearing a thin red dress, which didn't look like the clothes she should wear in this season, but as she said, she had the inner strength foundation, so she had the confidence to say this.

So the brief pause in her words was not because the cold wind blew through the half-open window, making people shiver, but because of...

the person who asked the question.

The rainy weather outside the window made this slightly cramped house more gloomy. Even though the candles were lit in the house, the fishy smell of grass and trees mixed with the dampness could be felt everywhere.

But when Zhu Xiaoyao turned her eyes to the mirror, these unpleasant smells seemed to be swept away in an instant.

She couldn't help but wonder whether there should be such a touch of color in such a place.

Because in the mirror lit by the candlelight, a beautiful face was reflected.

She didn't look back.

All Zhu Xiaoyao could see was the sparkling eyes in the blurry mirror, and half of the side face that was made even whiter by the black hair.

But even so, she dared to say that it was vulgar to compare the master girl with pearls and jade.

Even if she was just looking at herself in the mirror quietly,

she was also looking at... the wedding dress sent by the disciples of the Mi Tian League.

It was a luxurious wedding dress that was completed in just half a month.

In order not to tarnish the reputation of the Mi Tian League, the person in charge of this matter wanted to invite all the famous embroiderers in Bianjing, but they were afraid that the old deterrence of the Mi Tian League would be difficult to find again, and this wedding dress would look dull because it was worn on the master girl.

"No wonder you would rather look out the window than at me."

Zhu Xiaoyao heard a chuckle.

The moon in the water shook the ripples, and the lotus in the mirror also woke up from its stillness, so that she realized belatedly that she had unconsciously held her breath and concentrated her mind, fearing that she would disturb the scene that looked like flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. It was not until this moment that she regained her breath.

The next moment, she was facing the face that turned towards her.

If a person is not blind, he will not be indifferent to such a face, not to mention that it is definitely not a painting with simple colors.

The beauty lowered her eyes and whispered: "I know that my words are useless, but you don't have to escape because of sympathy."

"I'm not..." Zhu Xiaoyao hurriedly replied, but she didn't know how to continue when the words came to her lips.

Guan Shengzhu suddenly appeared with his teacher girl and claimed that he wanted to marry her. It was like a thunderbolt that struck everyone.

What should she say?

It is said that the current situation in Bianjing City is turbulent, and the Misty Heaven Alliance may become prey to be devoured at any time. Not only is Guan Shengzhu helpless, but the woman he brought is also in danger?

It is said that because Shi Qingruo has no martial arts skills and is born with a beautiful face, she once thought of her own situation in the past and felt sympathy for her, so she couldn't bear to see her suffer in the mud?

But these words are what she shouldn't say at all.

When the voice came out of her throat again, she only heard herself saying: "Miss Shi, don't worry too much. As long as Guan Shengzhu is alive, you will be the wife of the Seventh Saint Lord of the Misty Heaven Alliance, and we will all guard you."

That's right.

At least now, she will be the mistress of the Misty Heaven Alliance, the first person under Guan Qi, and the object of their loyalty.

As for the other things later, that's another matter.

If this was said to someone who knew the situation in Bianjing, they would definitely be able to hear the guilty conscience in Zhu Xiaoyao's words, but the person sitting in front of her had never set foot in the martial arts world, so she only used her hands that were too weak to hold a sword to push the string of white beads hanging from her hair crown to her ears, raised her head and replied: "Okay, then I will rely on you."

Rely?

These two words are light, but when they come out of her mouth, it seems to have added weight.

Zhu Xiaoyao was almost shocked and took a step back. She only felt that she saw the starlight of the moon in the eyes that were raised again. She quickly turned around to try to cover up her loss of composure, "No... no need to thank me. It's late, I'll have someone send dinner."

She didn't dare to stay here any longer.

While she was in charge of guarding here, she seemed to understand more and more every day why a madman insisted on marrying her.

Because...

because even if the teacher-sister didn't know martial arts, she had the ability to make people lose their armor.

But she was so hurried that she didn't see. Behind her, Shi Qingruo looked at her back, slowly raised the corner of her lips, and revealed an increasingly playful smile.

...

How interesting.

In the eyes of this young lady, who was forced to join the game, Zhu Xiaoyao, as the Second Saint of the Misty Heaven Alliance, clearly had

the five characters "Golden Wind and Drizzle Tower" hanging above her head.

It complemented her system panel brilliantly.
