Volume 12 Seven Weapons: Jade Knife
It's okay to lie to others, but you must be honest with yourself.
Chapter 312: The Bank of West Lake
Jiangnan.
Jiangnan is beautiful, and I have known the scenery for a long time. At sunrise, the flowers on the river are redder than fire, and in spring, the river water is as green as blue.
How can I not miss Jiangnan?
If spring has ten points, at least seven points are in Jiangnan, at least seven points of Jiangnan’s spring are in Hangzhou, and at least seven points of Hangzhou’s spring are in West Lake.
Spring in West Lake always comes very early and leaves very late . Although it is April now, the spring scenery is not yet over.
The boys wore spring clothes and the girls wore green skirts. They had plenty of time to show off their beautiful clothes and beautiful figures.
When Su Weiyun rode on Laojiu and arrived at the bank of West Lake, he saw at least three of them at once.
Among these three people, two are girls, very pretty girls.
One is called Hua Yelai and the other is called Hua Huafeng.
Hua Yelai is as her name suggests, she always has a faint floral fragrance on her body, which is rich, subtle and charming.
But Hua Huafeng is a girl whose nose wrinkles when she smiles.
Hua Huafeng's nose wrinkled again. She was laughing: "Hua Yelai, we have seen through all your schemes and tricks. What else do you have to say?"
Hua Yelai was dressed very elegantly, a tight dark green shirt and a long white pleated skirt that trailed the ground. Not only was the material noble and the workmanship fine, but the colors were also well matched.
Hua Yelai sighed softly and said, "Yes, everything has been discovered, but what can you do? Kill me?"
"We certainly won't kill you."
The person who was speaking was called Duan Yu, the only son of Mr. Duan Feixiong from the Central Plains, and the direct descendant of the Seven-Star Jade Knife.
Hua Yelai said: "You won't do anything?"
Duan Yu smiled and said, "As the leader of the Qinglong Society's 'February 2nd Dragon Raising its Head', you will be punished if you fail in your mission. Why should I do this?"
Qinglong Society.
It’s the Qinglong Society again.
Duan Yu, a young man with a dignified appearance and extraordinary bearing, had apparently just experienced a conspiracy of the Qinglong Society. What was rare was that he actually saw through it and broke the situation.
Su Weiyun, who was sitting next to him, became interested and suddenly put down his chopsticks and asked, "Young man, do you think this girl is the leader of the Qinglong Society?"
Duan Yu said: "Yes, brother, do you also know about the Qinglong Society?"
Su Weiyun said: "The sky is as blue as water, and the dragon is flying in the sky. Who in the world doesn't know the three words Qinglonghui?"
Duan Yu suddenly straightened his face, bowed sincerely and said: "But brother, you'd better not get involved in this matter. The Qinglong will do anything to get what it wants, and I'm afraid it will hinder you."
The young man was kind-hearted and loyal, and did not want to involve Su Weiyun in this matter.
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. The Qinglong Society and I have been entangled for a long time, so why should I care about this little bit?"
Duan Yu was surprised and said: "Brother, you..."
Su Weiyun waved his hand and asked, "Have you also been tricked by the Azure Dragon Society, and the person in front of you is the helmsman in charge of the operation?"
Duan Yu said: "Yes."
Su Weiyun glanced at Hua Huafeng who was standing next to Duan Yu and said, "How did she plot against you? Did she use a beauty trap?"
Duan Yu blushed and said honestly: "Although not, but... it's almost the same."
Hua Huafeng sneered, "Some people lose their minds when they see a beautiful woman, and they can't tell east from west!"
Su Weiyun said: "But at least now it seems that you haven't fallen for her honey trap, right?"
Duan Yu replied: "Yes."
Hua Huafeng muttered softly: "If I wasn't next to him..."
Su Weiyun asked again: "She is a beautiful girl, she must have a reason for using her beauty to seduce you, what is that reason?"
Duan Yu said, "It's because I'm following my father's orders and going on a long journey for the first time. I'm going to Baozhu Villa to ask for the hand of the owner Zhu and marry his daughter."
"If I let the Qinglong Society seduce me in Jiangnan and be falsely accused of murder, then Master Zhu would certainly not marry his daughter to me."
Su Weiyun said: "If Master Zhu doesn't marry his daughter to you, then she can only marry someone else."
Duan Yu said: "Of course I can only marry someone else."
Su Weiyun said: "So among your marriage proposal competitors, there must be one from the Qinglong Society who wants to defeat you with this unfair means."
Duan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "The Qinglong Society really thinks highly of me."
With just a few words, Su Weiyun had almost understood the whole story.
The February branch of the Qinglong Society in Jiangnan wanted to frame "Jade Knife" Duan Yu so that he could not go to Baozhu Villa to complete the marriage proposal; but unexpectedly, Duan Yu broke out of the situation in the end, and the identity of the leader Hua Yelai was exposed instead.
Su Weiyun said strangely: "But she clearly set you up and tried every means to harm you, why didn't you do anything to her?"
Duan Yu said: "A gentleman does not fight with women and children, and Hua Yelai has failed in her mission. The Qinglong Society's punishment hall will be waiting for her."
Su Weiyun suddenly said: "I remember you just said this is your first time traveling far away."
Duan Yu said: "My family is in the Central Plains. This is indeed my first time in Jiangnan."
Su Weiyun picked up the wine jar, slowly stood up, walked to the old wine, and fed it into its mouth.
The old wine stuck out his tongue and licked the wine jar, seeming to enjoy the taste of the wine very much.
"This is your first time going out. You don't know how dangerous the martial world is, but you already know that the Azure Dragon Society has a 12-month branch, and you even know that there is a mysterious punishment hall in the Azure Dragon Society. I really admire you."
The Qinglong Society has always been known for its tight organization and secretive operations. Even many martial arts masters may not be familiar with its structure and distribution. How could a young boy who had just set out know so much?
Hua Huafeng's expression changed first, Hua Yelai's expression also looked a little strange, only Duan Yu remained calm.
This time, Hua Huafeng frowned, not her nose. She asked sternly, "That brother is right. How do you know so much about the Qinglong Society? Have you been lying to me?!"
Duan Yu said: "I didn't lie to you. This is really my first time traveling far away. As for the matter of the Qinglong Society... I have my own reasons. "
This answer certainly would not satisfy Hua Huafeng .
——Women are usually like this. Once they find out that men have cheated on them, even if it is just a trivial matter that has nothing to do with feelings, they will fly into a rage and make a fuss about it.
A man must explain things clearly to have a chance of avoiding a disaster.
But at the moment, Duan Yu may not be able to explain it clearly.
Hua Huafeng scolded: "I didn't expect you to be a liar!"
She looked like she had been bullied and felt aggrieved.
"You are wrong, girl. He is not a liar. He is the most honest man and never talks."
The person who spoke was a bald guy who worked as a waiter in the tavern.
Hua Huafeng asked: "Who are you? Can you guarantee his honesty?"
Su Weiyun, the instigator of the commotion, actually responded, "He can. If he can't, no one here can. I said so much just to lure him out."
Little Baldy came out and greeted Su Weiyun before speaking to Hua Huafeng, saying, "It's not easy for you to find 'Master Gu' here."
At the side of the tavern, there was a green cloth wine curtain held up high by a bamboo pole. It had been washed so much that it looked white, and on it were written three large characters written in a flamboyant style.
These are the three words: Gu Dao Ren.
The name of this tavern is "Gu Dao Ren"!
