those in the rivers and lakes

Chapter 44
Ten days later, Biluo Villa.

This trip must be more or less ominous, and Lu Xingbo also changed into this hollow staff.There is not much difference between the hollow rod and the bamboo rod, the difference is that it is made of fine steel.

Bamboo sticks will break when met with sharp objects, but hollow sticks are not.From now on, everything that happens here may be related to Qinggu's life, so he must not be careless.

Lu Xingbo was standing outside the gate of the villa, and someone had come to ask, "Hey, why do you look familiar? You are Lu Xingbo, aren't you?"

"You knew I was coming?"

"Hmph, I don't know, but I met you more than ten years ago."

"That's nothing surprising. There are many people who saw me here more than ten years ago."

"Well, but I heard that you have been retiring from the world, why are you here today?"

"I want to talk to your owner about this matter, and I would like to trouble you to report it."

"Oh, that's a coincidence. Our old owner passed away two years ago. The owner is currently practicing in seclusion. Now the old housekeeper handles everything in the village."

"It's okay, I'll tell the old housekeeper."

"I'm afraid that's inappropriate. You and our old housekeeper have never met, how can you talk about it? Why don't you wait a few days and wait for my owner to leave the customs?"

Lu Xingbo said coldly: "I can't wait, it's urgent, so I'll tell the old butler!"

"It's not that good!"

"Hmph, Lu Xingbo doesn't want to break through the mountain gate, do you understand me?"

The man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand!"

The old housekeeper agreed to meet Lu Xingbo, and now he entered the guest room, with a pot of tea and some snacks on the table.Lu Xingbo took a bite of his snacks, and couldn't help but think of the situation here 17 years ago.It's just that Qing Gu doesn't know where she is now, and when he thinks of Qing Gu, his heart suddenly becomes numb, no matter how sweet the snack is, it tastes bitter.

Just after drinking a cup of tea, the old butler walked into the room.The old butler was not very old either. Although he was seventy years old, he looked good and walked steadily and briskly.

"Daxia Lu, this is our old housekeeper. If you have anything to say, please talk to him! Butler, I'm going down first."

"it is good!"

The old butler sat on a chair beside him, and Lu Xingbo said with a smile, "Hello, old butler!"

"Hi Daxia Lu, I still don't know why Daxia Lu came here?"

Lu Xingbo took out the bamboo board and handed it to the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper looked at the bamboo board and said to Lu Xingbo, "According to the above, my wife Qinggu is in your Biluo Villa."

The old housekeeper smiled lightly and said, "Hero Lu, do you know who this young master Bai is?"

"I don't know, but can the housekeeper know?"

"I don't know, I just asked Mr. Lu."

"It's just that my wife is missing now, and the only clue left is this bamboo board. Therefore, I can only come to disturb you. If there is any offense in the future, I hope the old owner will forgive me."

"Haha... Great Xia Lu is serious. I have heard about your reputation, and I believe that what you said today is true. I will order someone to investigate and deal with it now. Please stay safe, Great Xia Lu!"

"Then thank you, old housekeeper!"

"You're welcome, the old man is leaving!"

"Old butler, go slowly!"

Seeing the old butler's gentle words, Lu Xingbo felt less annoyed. After all, this is Biluo Villa, so it would be wrong to act rashly, so he decided to wait for the time being and see what the old butler can gain.

Traveling all the way is tiring, and worrying about Qinggu's sleepless nights.Lu Xingbo drank a few cups of tea and ate a few snacks, and couldn't help feeling a little sleepy. He lay on the bed and fell asleep, but he didn't even think that when he woke up, it was already noon the next day. Actually slept for seven hours!
Where is Qing Gu?
Lu Xingbo jumped out of bed suddenly, feeling annoyed and anxious, why did he sleep for so long?I don't know if Qinggu found it, he couldn't wait any longer, picked up the hollow staff and hurried out the door.

It's just that he just walked out of the door when a "whoosh" throwing knife hit the door panel. Lu Xingbo turned back with a surprised face and took down the flying knife.

It turned out that the flying knife was not important, but the cloth strip tied to it. When Lu Xingbo touched it close to his face, his face gradually became painful and angry. What did he notice?He explored the way with his hollow stick and walked away quickly.

"I want to see your old butler!"

"Lu Daxia, the old butler is busy, so I can't disturb you at this time."

"Listen to you, I can't see him now?"

"Wait a little longer, a few cups of tea are fine!"

"Hmph, stop drinking!"

With a movement of Lu Xingbo's arm, the flying knife was placed on the servant's shoulder.

"If you want to live, take me to see the old housekeeper"

The servant had no choice. After walking a few paths, Lu Xingbo had already arrived at the housekeeper's house.

"Old butler, Lu Xingbo has something to see!"

The old butler walked out of the room and said with a smile: "I think Daxia Lu can't sit still. The matter about Qing Gu has come to an end. I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't bother you."

"Lu Xingbo is here now, old housekeeper, please tell me."

"Well then, I will tell you the matter now. According to Daxia Lu, the old man has ordered people to search around the village, but they have not found any clues. So it is certain that Mrs. Lu is not with me. Villa."

Lu Xingbo smiled wryly: "That's the case, I still have a merciless request."

"Hero Lu, please speak."

"I want to find out my wife's whereabouts myself, and I hope the housekeeper will do it."

The old butler laughed, and said, "No, no! Daxia Lu's eyes don't change, and the old man has ordered someone to search carefully. Could it be that Daxia Lu doesn't trust me?"

"I don't dare, it's just that the people in the village are not familiar with my wife, I'm afraid there may be some omissions, so I have such a plan!"

"Well, that's not allowed! Hero Lu is a foreigner after all, and Biluo Mountain Villa has its own rules, so I can't help you with this matter!"

"That's the case, then ask the old housekeeper to see what it is!"

The old housekeeper took the cloth slip from Lu Xingbo, looked at it and said with a smile, "This is a cloth stained with blood. What does Daxia Lu want to explain?"

"What I want to say is that this is not an ordinary piece of cloth, but torn from my wife's clothes. The cloth woven by my wife is different. I have touched it carefully. This is what my wife wove. of!"

"Do you think your wife is in danger now?"

"From the moment she was taken away, she was in danger!"

"I know Mr. Lu is very anxious. Look how good this is. I have sent twenty brothers at your disposal. It's just that your wife is not in my estate. I hope Mr. Lu can tell right from wrong. There may be a villain here, you and I Don't fall into the trap."

Lu Xingbo looked angry, and said anxiously: "No! I can't miss any place. The villa is under your control, but you can't do whatever you say!"

"Oh, hum! You can't say what you want, Biluo Mountain Villa will be led by your nose. If people in the rivers and lakes know about this, you will laugh your ass off!"

Lu Xingbo slowly raised the hollow staff, and said coldly: "That's the case, I have no choice but to be unreasonable!"

With a wave of his arm, he wanted to put the hollow staff across the butler's throat.But suddenly there was a "bang", and it turned out that a long sword had resisted the hollow staff.

Lu Xingbo's arm didn't move, the long sword pressed down three times and twice around, and then hit Lu Xingbo's hollow staff on the ground.

"Hmph! Such a skilled swordsmanship!"

"Thank you uncle for the compliment!"

"Oh? Still a girl, who are you?"

The girl smiled softly and said, "I am the eldest lady of Biluo Villa, Han Cuiying!"

"It turns out to be the young master, no wonder the kung fu is amazing!"

"It's the uncle who accepted it!"

"Alright then! You're in a hurry to leave now, or I won't let you go!"

"Don't be impatient, uncle, can you listen to me a few words?"

"Speaking!"

"You just suspected that the old housekeeper's actions were false, but it is difficult for us to distinguish the truth from the falsehood. In addition, the cloth strip was found on my villa, which does not mean that your wife is in my villa. Who knows if someone came from it?" play off?"

"What you said meant the same thing as the old butler. Since he couldn't tell the difference, Lu Xingbo had no choice but to look for it one by one."

"Okay, since the uncle has made up his mind, why don't you and I win the battle?"

"What about the bet?"

"If I win, please leave Biluo Mountain Villa immediately. If you win, you can search here!"

"it is good!"

It's just that this battle hasn't started yet. It was a colorless and odorless mist. When Lu Xingbo woke up, he was already lying in a cold secret room.
