Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 464: The Old Friend is Gone
Kong Lanjun.
No matter how much Su Weiyun thought about it, she could not have imagined that the person who would open the door would be Kong Lanjun.
Kong Lanjun has a prominent background and is quite skilled in martial arts, but he has absolutely no connection with Peacock Villa.
Su Weiyun asked, "Are you at Peacock Villa?"
Kong Lanjun smiled and said, "Of course Peacock should live in Peacock Villa."
Eleven years have passed, and she is still well maintained, with very few wrinkles on her face, smooth skin, and even looks a bit like a young girl.
Su Weiyun asked, "Where is Manor Master Qiu?"
Kong Lanjun said: "Master Qiu is away on a long journey, I will take care of all the affairs of the villa."
Su Weiyun asked: "You? What is your relationship with Peacock Villa?"
"Master Su, don't you know yet? After many twists and turns, I only discovered a few years ago that I was originally the youngest daughter of Peacock Villa. To be honest, Qiu Fengwu is my eldest brother."
Su Weiyun opened her eyes wide, looking confused, and her jaw almost dropped in surprise.
"Qiu Fengwu is your biological elder brother?"
Kong Lanjun said, "That's right. I never expected this. It's cold outside. Sir Su, please come in."
Su Weiyun walked in slowly.
Peacock Villa still looks the same as before, with gorgeous fountains, beautiful maids, ancient buildings, and a few peacocks walking slowly around.
Su Weiyun walked slowly along the path to the main hall.
The layout of the main hall was still exactly the same as before, almost completely matching Su Weiyun's memory.
Su Weiyun sat on the chair on the right, and Kong Lanjun sat on the left, facing each other.
Kong Lanjun has changed from her previous princess appearance to become dignified and elegant, like the wife of a family head who has been managing the household for a long time and is in charge of the big business.
Su Weiyun asked, "Qiu Fengwu went out for a long journey. What was he going to do?"
Kong Lanjun replied: "He seems to have gone to Mount Tai to look for the lost Peacock Feather. Perhaps you don't know that the 'Peacock Feather' in Peacock Villa is actually a fake."
This was originally the biggest secret in Peacock Villa and also the weakness that could not be shown to others. But now it came out from Kong Lanjun's mouth. It seemed that she and Qiu Fengwu were indeed as close as siblings and had no ties with each other.
Su Weiyun asked, "Then does it mean that the news of Peacock Villa losing the real Peacock Feather has spread all over the world?"
Kong Lanjun said: "No. I know that Lord Su and Brother Qiu are close friends, so I told you."
She continued calmly, "Besides, even if there are really blind enemies who come to kill us, I will be there to take care of them."
The "one lion, one flower and one peacock" under the former Sanxiang Longwu were by no means ordinary people. There is a reason why Kong Lanjun can be mentioned together with Lan Tianmeng and Qin Huhua.
Su Weiyun nodded slowly: "Okay. If I hear the news, I will definitely come to support you."
Kong Lanjun hummed softly.
There was no one else in the main hall, only silence.
The two of them sat in silence, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Su Weiyun suddenly asked: "By the way, are the twelve guardians of Peacock Villa still there?"
Kong Lanjun's face changed, and he asked in surprise: "Twelve Dharma Protectors? What twelve Dharma Protectors?"
Su Weiyun said: "Peacock Villa once subdued the Twelve Great Bandits of Taihang and made them the guardians of Peacock Feather. Don't you know that?"
Kong Lanjun shook her head and said, "I never knew that."
Su Weiyun said: "That's strange, didn't Qiu Fengwu tell you? Are they all dead?"
Kong Lanjun said apologetically: "Sir Su, I really don't know about this. I only came here a few years ago."
Su Weiyun sighed and said, "I don't blame you."
He felt a little emotional because he had taken advantage of Madam Xiangsi and Kong Lanjun doing that thing in the bathtub, forced his way in, and killed Madam Xiangsi with a sword, but spared Kong Lanjun's life.
Who would have thought that Kong Lanjun was actually Qiu Fengwu’s long-lost sister?
Su Weiyun asked again: "Where are Gao Li and Shuang Shuang? Are they doing well now?"
Kong Lanjun frowned, as if trying to recall something. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Gao Li and Shuang Shuang haven't contacted us for a long time. Brother Qiu said that they are living an ordinary life and are doing well. He also told me not to interfere."
"Yeah, that's right. Small people also have small lives. Being ordinary may not be a bad thing."
Su Weiyun agreed with this. He thought about it, but finally couldn't think of anything else.
"My visit today is a little abrupt. I don't know when we will meet again. If the owner of Qiu Fengwu Manor comes back soon, please send someone to let me know."
Kong Lanjun stood up quickly and said, "Of course, of course. Is Lord Su leaving now?"
Su Weiyun stopped and asked, "Where is your Lord Long Wu?"
When Long Wu was mentioned, Kong Lanjun's eyes suddenly became a little strange, and he said, "Master Long Wu is gone."
Su Weiyun asked, "Did you go?"
Kong Lanjun smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Long Wu was already seriously ill, and the bottle of real magic medicine was destroyed by Madam Xiangsi a long time ago. In the end, he still couldn't make it."
"Where's Qin Huhua?"
Kong Lanjun said: "It seems that the hero Qin Huhua went out to sea in a small boat in order to seek the pinnacle of martial arts."
As if she was afraid that Su Weiyun would ask again, she continued, "Lan Tianmeng was treated as a spy by Lord Long Wu."
Su Weiyun asked: "Then do you know where Liu Changjie is?"
Kong Lanjun was even more helpless: "Liu Longzhua always comes and goes without a trace, how could I possibly know..."
"Oh, that's right. I'd better go somewhere else."
Su Weiyun left Peacock Villa.
For some reason, after seeing Su Weiyun leave, Kong Lanjun seemed to relax a lot.
…
Central Plains.
Central Plains is located in the hinterland, with convenient transportation links. It is a hub connecting various places, and almost all the most famous escort agencies in the world operate here.
Originally there was a big "Changqing Escort Agency" in Liaodong, but after Baili Changqing entered the pass and united with the four major escort agencies in the Central Plains, all the escort agencies were unified and operated jointly.
Such a large joint escort agency would not collapse easily.
Therefore, Su Weiyun thought that by coming here, he would at least be able to meet old acquaintances such as Deng Dinghou, Baili Changqing, and Miss Wang.
Su Weiyun felt a little embarrassed to meet Miss Wang, so she went to the Zhenyuan Escort Agency first, wanting to meet the chief escort of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, "Little Zhuge of the Magic Fist" Deng Dinghou.
Marquis Deng Ding was an upright man. He had helped him in some way in the past and was quite familiar with him.
But when Su Weiyun arrived at the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, he suddenly discovered that time had passed and the chief escort of Zhenyuan had been replaced.
Now, the most famous thing about Zhenyuan Escort Agency is no longer Deng Dinghou’s pair of magic fists, nor is it the “Five Dogs Blossoming” that hangs on the wall, but a “Golden Spear and Iron Sword Flag”.
"Where are Deng Dinghou and his people?"
"Lord Deng Dinghou is almost fifty years old. He felt too old and abdicated long ago."
Su Weiyun was even more puzzled: "Marquis Deng Ding is still in good health, why would he abdicate and let someone else take over?"
"This...I don't know."
Su Weiyun pondered for a moment, nodded, and left again.
He had never met Marquis Deng Ding either.
So he had to stop by the Da Wang Escort Agency, so that he could see whether the silly and somewhat cute Miss Wang had managed to make her escort agency flourish.
Go and see if the Overlord's Spear, the symbol of courage, is still new.
He finally saw someone this time.
