Chapter 196 Chapter 196

Not knowing that Dongfang even started to leave the matter of retrieving the secret book to Gu Xichao behind the scenes, Song Lehe was chatting with Li Xunhuan and Lin Pingzhi. After leaving Dongfang's sight, Lin Pingzhi seemed to relax a lot. He didn't know why Dongfang was so nervous even though Dongfang didn't use his aura to overwhelm him.

The first thing he paid attention to was: "You just said that the person who stole my secret book might be Zuo Lengchan. How could it be possible that my father took me to greet him yesterday?"

Li Xunhuan quietly stretched his ears. This was the first time he heard the legend of Jianghu. Well, it’s not the kind of unrecognizable story that storytellers say.

Song Lehe said: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing their hearts. Jin Jiuling's reputation in Liumen was so good at the beginning. Wasn't he also a thief who ran away to make money for his own enjoyment? And if you ask your parents, they will probably It would not be a surprise. Since Zuo Lengchan came to power in the Songshan Sect, some of the smaller sects near them have either been driven away or simply disappeared. Moreover, he has always been domineering in the world, and he will create demons for others whenever he disagrees. The hat actually has a bad reputation. "

Song Lehe is actually not the kind of person who pays attention to the style of a certain sect, but it was said yesterday that the Five Mountains Sword Sect was unreliable, so he paid a little attention to it. . Then I discovered that there might be only one difference between the Songshan Sect and the demonic path they talked about. They are also concerned about their reputation, and they do bad things secretly, but the things they do are actually very different from the demonic ways they talk about. It may just be that one can use it as a fig leaf and the other cannot.

Even after Dongfang succeeded to the throne, he was not very interested in continuing to expand his power, so he did many behaviors that were previously criticized by the decent people, such as robbing other people's foundations, suppressing and absorbing other small forces within their sphere of influence, bullying men and dominating women, and so on. Oh, the improvement of the last item has nothing to do with whether it expands its power or not. It is simply that Dongfang enjoys strolling much more than Ren Woxing. If he sees it, he will be considered a loser and will be punished by being demoted and working overtime, so everyone restrained themselves. Quite a few.

After Song Lehe finished speaking, he ignored the thoughtful Lin Pingzhi and instead asked Li Xunhuan about his family and whether his family knew that he came to join in the excitement of the world.

Li Xunhuan was a little sarcastic, but he still answered honestly: "I only said that I was looking for my classmates, and I didn't say that I wanted to come to the Wang family's birthday banquet. But don't worry, I know martial arts and can protect myself."

As for family. , Li Xunhuan did not answer directly, but asked instead: "I heard that the scholar told the story of "Jingchen Sword went to the desert to kill two demons for a beautiful lady." What is your relationship with the voodoo doctor Song Lehe?"

Hearing the title of the storyteller, Song Lehe was speechless for a moment: "Why hasn't this rumor disappeared? I have no romantic feelings for him."

"Then what is your relationship?" Li Xunhuan seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and heard Song Lehe's evasive answer. Still have no intention of giving up.

"Relatives..." Song Lehe's tone was uncertain, and then he asked, "Why are you asking this?"

After hearing Song Lehe's words, Li Xunhuan seemed to feel relieved: "Sorry, there may have been some problems before. Offended. I am actually asking if you can contact the Gu doctor. My brother and cousin have both been beholden to the Gu doctor and have always wanted to express their gratitude to her. However, she has been erratic and has always been unable to make the trip. I would like to express my gratitude to Doctor Gu on their behalf and invite her to my house."

Although he had some suspicions in his mind, Song Lehe still asked, "Who are your brother and your cousin?"

Li Xunhuan said with a smile, "My brother's name is Li Huaijin. She was poisoned in Qujing Mansion and was saved by the Gu Doctor; my cousin was also saved by the Gu Doctor in Qujing Mansion from the White Jade Demon. This time I came to Luoyang to see if the Gu Doctor would come over. The news is that she is heading north."

Song Lehe only thought that it was true, this guy was the younger brother Li Huaijin was talking about, and the two brothers were quite similar. As a guest, Song Lehe didn't care much about Li Huaijin, but he did miss Shiyin who was a little timid when they parted. Speaking of whether Phoenix taught her a lot of self-protection skills back then, I don’t know how well she learned it.

"I don't know where he is now, but if I see him, I will tell him what you mean." Song Lehe did not say anything, after all, no one knows what will happen next.

Song Lehe originally planned to go to the White Horse Temple, but he was delayed by the Lin family's affairs first, and then stayed in Green Bamboo Lane for a while. Now that he ran out with these two oil bottles, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in prison. Came back before the city gate. So Song Lehe simply took Li Xunhuan to the inn where Huamanlou was located and booked a room for him. If he and Lu Xiaofeng had other matters later, he could leave Li Xunhuan to Huamanlou to take care of him, which was perfect.

On the way back to the inn, Song Lehe heard the storyteller start to tell the story of Gu Master Lan Xiezi, and he was also cueing Song Lehe intentionally or unintentionally. In this regard, Song Lehe could only say that Wang Yunmeng, you are so efficient. On the contrary, Li Xunhuan was very angry when he heard the storyteller linking the Gu doctor with the killer Blue Scorpion. If Song Lehe hadn't done it quickly, he would have almost rushed in to argue with the storyteller.

In this regard, Song Lehe could only say that they were really similar brothers. They were both eager for justice and righteousness, but they were a little ill-thought-out. Li Huaijin was like this at the beginning. When he heard about the Lin family's plight, he rushed to seek justice. He never thought about whether his small body could withstand the hidden arrows of the local martial arts. But he doesn't hate such people either.

"Okay, okay, there are dozens of such rumors appearing in the world every month, and there is no way to correct them one by one. And if you really rush forward, there will be thugs from the restaurant nearby. Storytellers rely on their words to make a living. You and If he tried to argue with him, he would only say that you think too much. He only hinted and would never say it outright."

Song Lehe pulled Li Xunhuan and Lin Pingzhi away. When he heard such strange rumors about himself before, Again, a warning will only be given unless it is too obvious. But this time he didn't go too far, and Blue Scorpion really had something to do with him, so he didn't think he could let two young people go up and cause trouble.

Back at the inn, Song Lehe saw an unexpected person: "Lu Xiaofeng, when did you come back?"

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were joking in front of the window with human fireworks. After hearing Song Lehe's voice, , he waved to Song Lehe and said, "I just came back not long ago. Where have you been? Why do you have another friend?"

Song Lehe went upstairs and sat down at the table, introduced Li Xunhuan to them, and then said to Lu Xiaofeng Asked: "Didn't you go drinking with your friends? Why did you come back so soon? By the way, do you know where Sikong Zhaixing went?"

When Song Lehe asked about Sikong Zhaixing, Lu Xiaofeng turned around and said, "My My friend met Mu Taoist and was taken away by him. As for the monkey spirit, he should have left. What are you looking for?"

"Look for him to save people," Song Lehe pointed at Lin Pingzhi. "The things his parents brought to Dongfang were stolen by Sikong Zhaixing, and he was almost killed by Dongfang who felt that he had been tricked. I stopped him temporarily, but the things have to be found, no matter if Dongfang wants it after reading it or not , at least it is passed down from ancestors."

However, Song Lehe complained in his heart that although it was said to be passed down from ancestors, the fragments of the "Sunflower Book" that the Lin family renamed "Evil Sword Manual" and the "Sun Moon God Sect" stole it from the Huashan Sect. The fragments of the "Sunflower Collection" are actually from incorrect sources. They were either peeked from the hands of Zen Master Hongye of Shaolin Temple at that time, or they were peeked from a peeping person.

When Dongfang first talked about this, he also complained that this thing had been burned by Zen Master Hongye. Who knows how many errors and omissions there are in these two fragments. Maybe if he had practiced the original, he would not have suffered this unnecessary pain. However, In that case, it probably won't be his turn to practice the "Sunflower Collection".

Because of this, Song Lehe was sure that Dongfang probably didn't care that much about the Lin family at first. Of course, when the Lin family agreed and made a mistake later, it was another story for Dongfang. He gave the Lin family a second chance, but if there were problems with the Lin family again, it would mean that they had lost their sense of good and bad. If they didn't react, their subordinates might think that he was too easy to deal with.

After hearing Song Lehe's words, as a friend of Sikong Zhaixing, Lu Xiaofeng seemed a little embarrassed: "The monkey spirit didn't tell me where he would go, but even if the monkey spirit is found, he probably won't tell anyone about his employer. I can't even ask."

"There's no need to ask, just let him steal the things back." Song Lehe didn't care about it. As long as the things are retrieved, the lives of the Lin family can be saved in Dongfang. As for finding the mastermind behind the scenes, isn't that Dongfang's job? The nature of Sikong Zhaixing's job is that if he really dares to report his employer, he may soon be You can hear that he is dead or missing.

"Okay," Lu Xiaofeng stood up, looking a little helpless, "I'll go find where he might be."

Watching Lu Xiaofeng leave, Song Lehe turned to look at Li Xunhuan: "Why don't you go get a room?"

"Hey, Oh. "Li Xunhuan was chatting with Huamanlou just now. Both of them were educated by the sons of aristocratic families. Huamanlou, because of the Hua family and Lu Xiaofeng, has not been deeply involved in the world, but he has heard a lot about it. Li Xunhuan chatted with him quite well.

Seeing Li Xunhuan go downstairs to find the shopkeeper, Song Lehe turned around and was about to say something to Hua Manlou when he saw him smiling and nodding and saying, "Don't worry, I will take care of him." He

is so considerate. , Song Lehe was a little touched, Huamanlou is really always gentle and reliable.

The Wang family's birthday banquet lasted for three days. Song Lehe lost interest after going there once, but he still went two days after Huamanlou. He just happened to take Li Xunhuan to experience the atmosphere of socializing with people in the world. It would be best It would be better to dispel his inexplicable yearning for Jianghu. In addition to grudges and grudges, there are also human feelings and sophistication in the world.

Finally, it was Lin Pingzhi. Song Lehe turned to him and asked: "Are you going to continue running with me or go back to Wang's house? I'm leaving the city later and won't be back tonight."

"Of course I'm following you," Lin Pingzhi said. He was decisive, he no longer wanted to be like before, being ignorant and silly, but unaware of the pressure on his parents and the danger he was in.

"Okay," Song Lehe didn't care, "Then you have to follow me, I won't wait for you."

"Where are you going?" Hua Manlou was a little confused. He thought Song Lehe would wait for Lu Xiaofeng to take him. The news about Sikong Zhaixing came back.

Song Lehe crossed his arms and frowned slightly and said: "I just heard Lu Xiaofeng say that he met the Mu Taoist of the Wudang Sect and brought out his juniors. I remember that he and the abbot of the White Horse Temple are friends, right? , I also planned to go to White Horse Temple, and I just happened to ask him what he was doing."

There are also some conflicts between the Wudang Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect. Almost eighty years ago, several elders of the Sun Moon God Sect attacked Wudang Mountain at night and stole the Wudang Sect. The Wudang Sect's secret books and real martial arts swords later forced the head of the Wudang Sect to switch to the Seven Star Sword. He felt that if someone wanted to take action against the Sun and Moon Sect, they might contact Mu Taoist. And even if Mu Taoren didn't want to tell him, he could still detect something from the other party's emotion when he heard about it.

Moreover, he was originally going to visit the White Horse Temple, and planned to enshrine a small Buddha statue, the kind with private goods stuffed inside.
