The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 617: A Chance Meeting

Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi.

Lu Xiaofeng followed the clues left by Li Chaofeng and found Hua Manlou, and also saw Li Chaofeng.

They were drinking tea and listening to opera in the teahouse, enjoying themselves very leisurely.

The story told by the storyteller in the teahouse is called "Six Swordsmen Fighting the Demon Dragon".

Six swords go out, three swords return.

Although there were heavy casualties, they still showed their heroic qualities.

At the same time, the Demon Dragon was also seriously injured in this battle. He dared not set foot in the northern Central Plains again and only lived in seclusion in Anqing.

Seriously injured, too afraid to set foot in the north?
When Lu Xiaofeng heard the storyteller say these things with a smug look on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched.

If the storyteller knew that the Red Flame Demon Dragon was sitting in the audience, would he be scared to death?

Walking up to the three people, Lu Xiaofeng directly picked up the teapot and took a big sip, then complained with a smile.

"You three are having a comfortable time, listening to opera and drinking tea."

"It's not like me. I almost thought my legs were going to fall off."

Li Chaofeng did not stand up, but just spoke in a low voice.

"You could have come with me."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "Lu Xiaofeng will not betray his friends."

Li Chaofeng: "Huo Xiu is your friend, and so is Bai Yujing."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "But Huo Xiu can't be the owner of Qingyi Tower."

Li Chaofeng sneered: "Lu Xiaofeng, you trust your friends too much. This is your advantage, but it will also become your disadvantage."

Faced with Li Chaofeng's reminder, Lu Xiaofeng didn't take it seriously. He just found a seat and sat down, then continued the conversation with a smile.

"Since it is an advantage, it should be maintained."

Looking at Liu Yunzhi beside him, Lu Xiaofeng blinked and then smiled.

“Is the play on stage good?”

Lu Xiaofeng with two eyebrows is still very handsome, and a little more friendly.

But it's funny without four eyebrows
Without paying attention to Lu Xiaofeng's question, Liu Yunzhi put her mouth close to Li Chaofeng's ear and whispered.

"Dad, his beard is gone."

Li Chaofeng looked at Lu Xiaofeng's face with serious eyes.

Fair and flawless, without a beard.

No one has ever been able to shave off Lu Xiaofeng's eyebrows.

No one thought of scraping it off.

Except Ximen Chuxue.

But in the face of Liu Yunzhi's doubts, he just explained with a smile.

"Beards are not eyebrows, so they can be shaved off naturally."

Liu Yunzhi blinked: "But isn't he called Four Eyebrows? Now that he has no beard, doesn't that mean he only has two eyebrows?"

Li Chaofeng looked at Lu Xiaofeng coldly and explained to Liu Yunzhi at the same time.

“So when you’re walking alone in the world, you must always be vigilant.”

"Because anything that seems meaningless or even almost impossible can still happen."

“And this is called the unexpected.”

The place where Lu Xiaofeng and Li Chaofeng separated was far away from Wanmei Villa.

Between the two trips, Lu Xiaofeng rested for four or five hours at most.

Running at full speed for three days would make one tired even if one had superb energies.

But there was no sign of fatigue on Lu Xiaofeng's face, as if he really just went to find a friend to inquire about some things.

Liu Yunzhi understood what Li Chaofeng meant.

Four eyebrows were Lu Xiaofeng's signature, but now they have become two eyebrows.
This kind of thing is meaningless, but Lu Xiaofeng did it.

After hearing Liu Yunzhi say that Lu Xiaofeng had no beard, Hua Manlou explained with a smile on his face.

"Yunzhi, Lu Xiaofeng cares a lot about his beard, so he didn't shave it himself, but was forced to shave it."

Hua Manlou failed to convince Li Chaofeng to change the way he educated his children, but he could still tell Liu Yunzhi many things that Li Chaofeng could not tell.

There are some truths that only family members can explain.

But there are some things that can only be said through the mouths of outsiders. Li Chaofeng will never tell Liu Yunzhi that he is a person who strictly abides by the rules.

But Hua Manlou can tell Liu Yunzhi about this openly
The former implies threats and warnings, while the latter presents facts and reason.

In a few days, Hua Manlou successfully made Liu Yunzhi understand a truth.
Li Chaofeng never asked her to rigidly follow Li Chaofeng's rules.

This is Li Chaofeng's choice, not Liu Yunzhi's.

All Liu Yunzhi needs to do is respect and understand her father's persistence, rather than blindly following his words.

Liu Yunzhi understood this and started to become much more lively.

Then she discovered.
My father also became much gentler.

After hearing Hua Manlou's explanation, Liu Yunzhi frowned, counted on her fingers, and looked at Hua Manlou for help.

"My grandmother taught me that those with beards should be called uncles, and those without beards should be called uncles."

"Uncle Hua, should I call him Uncle Lu or Uncle Lu?"

Hearing Liu Yunzhi's dilemma, Lu Xiaofeng smiled and gave an answer.

"Of course you have to call me uncle, because I'm younger than your father."

Liu Yunzhi looked at Li Chaofeng, then found that he nodded slightly and said at the same time.

"You're late. Today is the fourth day."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the sky, then smiled and argued.

"The sun hasn't set yet, so the fourth day hasn't started yet. Also, I said three days later, not three days in total."

Hua Manlou listened to Lu Xiaofeng's excuses and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.

"So you're done with your work?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded: "I already know where Huo Xiu is, and I have informed him that I will go find him."

Li Chaofeng's eyes suddenly became sharp and he spoke in a serious tone.

"Dugu Yihe and Yan Tieshan have families and businesses, they dare not run away."

"But Hoshiu can run."

"The world is big, you want me to chase a rat all over it?"

Lu Xiaofeng scratched his nose and then laughed.

"Don't worry, I only said that I would bring a friend to meet him, but I didn't say that you wanted to meet him."

Lu Xiaofeng did not contact Huo Xiu. Three days was too short.
The only thing he could do was to ask Ximen Chuixue to come out of the mountains to help him find clues.
In Lu Xiaofeng's understanding, Li Chaofeng was looking for trouble with Qingyi Tower, not Huo Xiu.

The only thing that worries Lu Xiaofeng is
Will Li Chaofeng use any means to force Huo Xiu to tell his secret?

Hua Manlou listened to Lu Xiaofeng's words, his nose twitched slightly, and he sighed softly.

The smell on Lu Xiaofeng's body told him that he had not rested well at all.

Facing Li Chaofeng, Hua Manlou said with a smile on his face.

"It's getting late, and Yunzhi is almost tired."

"How about visiting Yan Tieshan tomorrow?"

Lu Xiaofeng agreed to meet at Yan's house.

Li Chaofeng and the other two naturally also arrived outside Yan's Mansion.

When arriving at Yan's Mansion, one naturally has to visit Yan Tieshan.

After hearing Hua Manlou's suggestion, Lu Xiaofeng also looked towards Li Chaofeng.
Li Chaofeng is very patient now, and not at all as anxious as he was when he just left the Jinpeng Dynasty.

Because Li Chaofeng knew very well that unless Shangguan Jin was stupid, he would not kill Bai Yujing at this time.

Living hostages are, of course, more valuable than dead hostages.

As Lu Xiaofeng looked over, Li Chaofeng also spoke coldly.

"No need, because the people from Yan Mansion are already waiting for us outside the door."

Before he finished speaking, a large number of people quickly rushed into the teahouse and surrounded Li Chaofeng and his three companions.

As Huo Tianqing, the steward of the Yan Mansion, came step by step behind Li Chaofeng, he looked Li Chaofeng up and down for a long time and finally smiled.

"I heard that the knife in Master Long San's hand is the world-famous Deer Cutting Knife."

"Although Huo has heard of it, he has never had the chance to see it."

"We have the chance to meet today, why don't we go to Yan's Mansion to get together?"
