Everything starts from Tian Long Ba Bu

Chapter 166 Murong returns and the embroidery thief appears! (superior)
  What the guard sent was not a post, but a pair of stone lions.

There are stone lions on the left and right, with a line of small characters carved on their backs.

"It's about the identity of the embroidery thief. Murong from Gusu came to visit!"

The signed name was naturally Murong Fu.

This post looks ordinary, with only a dozen big words on it.

But the only surprising thing is its tone and tone. It should be noted that King Nan is a county king conferred by the imperial court, and his status is naturally extremely noble. Even the officials in the southeast area must bow to him as a big gift when they see him, not to mention The world is in chaos.

But there is no trace of respect for Nanwangfu in the words of this post, and it is even a bit too straightforward to the point of being disrespectful!

But this slight discomfort was naturally diluted by the small characters carved on the back of the stone lion, because the writing was very thin and penetrated very deep into the stone, about half a foot long.

Looking at this line of handwriting, everyone changed their colors.

Everyone here is a well-known master in the world, so naturally they can see that it is carved with weapons.

But the stone lions were made of tough material. Some of them asked themselves that even with the help of magic soldiers, they might not be able to achieve this!

Moreover, this line of small characters is too elegant and is obviously different from the handwriting carved with swords, guns, swords and halberds.

Crown Prince Nan personally reached out and touched it. The handwriting was deeply penetrated into the stone, but no stone fragments remained. It was obvious that the person who came here had profound skills. The handwriting was carved in one go without stopping for a moment.

"What unique weapon was used to carve this line of characters?"

Touching this line of handwriting, Crown Prince Nan first said to himself.

"It's a needle!"

Looking at this line of elegant characters, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said.

"Needle?"

Hearing this, Prince Nan couldn't help but be shocked.

It should be noted that needles are different from swords, guns, swords and halberds. Firstly, they are too short. Secondly, they are too brittle. Even if they are made by famous craftsmen, they cannot be indestructible.

The characteristics and shortcomings of needles are inherently limited.

If you use more materials, it will be other weapons, not needles!
  So when Prince Nan saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel shocked, and he obviously understood how difficult it was to achieve this.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had already seen Murong Fu's soul-searching needle, so they naturally had no doubts about it!
  Only Jin Jiuling could not help but look slightly suspicious when he saw this scene. As the initiator of dozens of masters being blinded in a few months, how could he not understand how difficult it was to achieve this step?

But precisely because of this, there was a trace of suspicion in his heart.

Weapons like needles can only be used as surprise weapons or hidden weapons, because of its inherent shortcomings.

Jin Jiuling himself knew this very well, because he was even more suspicious of the scene in front of him, and secretly tested in his heart what methods the man had used to achieve this step.

Ye Gucheng, however, stared intently at the small words on the back of the stone lion. After standing there for a long time, he finally said, "Where is that person?"

"Visitors are waiting outside the house!"

The guard replied respectfully.

Ye Gucheng said slowly: "Okay, take me to see him!"

Hearing the Lord of Baiyun City speak, Crown Prince Nan on the side couldn't help but become curious. It should be noted that although the stone lion carving method was clever, it should not have aroused much interest in him.

Others don't understand Ye Gucheng, but Prince Nan, who is the mentor, understands.

He was a proud man, and his only pursuit in his life was the art of swordsmanship.

"You can't see that the order of the strokes in this line of small characters is actually a superb swordsmanship!"

Seeing that Prince Nan seemed to be surprised, Ye Gucheng explained in a cold tone.

However, although his tone was cold, his eyes brightened obviously, and he was obviously extremely curious about the coming person.

……

Outside Prince Nan's Mansion, four figures stood quietly.

Lu Xiaofeng recognized four people at a glance. From left to right, the four people were a short and fat rich man, a poor scholar, a tall and thin man with vicious eyes, and a thin and lean man.

"It's you!"

Lu Xiaofeng said.

"I've met Mr. Lu!"

Deng Baichuan, the leader, slightly arched his hands.

As the head of the four generals of the Murong family, he has the highest martial arts skills and extraordinary eyesight, so he naturally understood Lu Xiaofeng's martial arts skills and immediately took the initiative to say hello.

"Did you send these pair of stone lions?"

Prince Nan looked at the four people with different appearances in front of him, but he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

It should be noted that the pair of stone lions may not look big, but in fact they weigh nearly a thousand kilograms. Even the palace’s warriors mobilized eight people to barely lift them out of the hall.

The four people in front of them looked inconspicuous at all. No one would associate them with the masters who have been famous for many years, but they were the ones who delivered a pair of stone lions weighing about a thousand kilograms to the gate of Nanwang Mansion. !
  "Not bad!"

Bao BuTong nodded proudly.

Ye Gucheng said coldly: "Where is your young master?"

When I saw the person coming, he had an extraordinary temperament, as if he was an immortal who had fallen into the world.

Gong Yeqian then politely stepped forward and replied: "My young master is currently waiting for you all to come in a peach forest more than ten miles outside the west city!"

……

Wuyang City is more than ten miles outside the West City.

Lu Xiaofeng and others soon saw a huge peach forest.

In late spring of April, when the peach blossoms are about to fall, they are at their peak bloom. The setting sun reflects the peach grove brilliantly, like a fairyland.

Seeing such beautiful scenery, Lu Xiaofeng's expression couldn't help but soften.

As for Hua Manlou, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. He, who was already blind, suddenly closed his eyes and seemed to be sniffing the fragrance of peach blossoms in the air.

"Since you are here, why don't you show up?"

The moment everyone arrived outside the peach forest, they heard a thin sound suddenly coming from the distance, which resounded very clearly in everyone's ears.

"Transmitting sound into the secret?"

Jin Jiuling frowned slightly when he heard the sound, apparently recognizing the person's methods.

"Great skill!"

However, before he could speak, Crown Prince Nan suddenly laughed, raised his body and was about to fly into the peach blossom forest.

However, a figure flew into the peach blossom forest one step ahead of him. This person was dressed in white, and his figure seemed to be clean and noble. His whole figure was like a white cloud floating across the horizon, and he floated into the peach blossom forest in the blink of an eye.

"City Lord Ye's Qinggong is indeed impressive!"

When Lu Xiaofeng saw this scene, she couldn't help but praise it, and then used Qinggong to sneak into the peach blossom forest.

His praise was not false. Among their many friends, there were many who were excellent in Qinggong, none more so than Sikong Zhaixing and Ximen Chuixue.

But when he saw it today, he realized that Baiyun City Lord's light kung fu was no less than that of Sikong Zhaixing and Ximen Chuixue, and even had some faint power.

Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling didn't seem to be in a hurry, and slowly followed the crowd into the peach blossom forest.

After a while, everyone finally saw clearly the figure deep in the peach forest.

I saw a man also dressed in white, sitting under a blooming peach tree. He had a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, and there were several women following him not far away. These women are all rare beauties with unique looks and outstanding temperament. Even though everyone has extraordinary experience, they can't help but take a closer look.

"Xue Bing!"

But Lu Xiaofeng let out a soft cry because he recognized one of the women.

However, when Xue Bing saw him appearing, he snorted coldly and turned away.

Seeing Xue Bing treating him so coldly, Lu Xiaofeng, who had always regarded himself as a prodigal, had no choice but to touch his beard in embarrassment.

"Murong Fu?"

Ye Gucheng stared closely at the man in white under the tree and said, his eyes like cold stars suddenly became brighter as if he had met his opponent at this moment.

Murong Fu also raised his head and said with a smile: "Lord of Baiyun City?"

It was obviously the first time that the two met, but they both recognized each other in an instant.

Ye Gucheng's eyes were fixed on Murong Fu for a long time, but his expression remained calm, as if he had not been affected in any way.

Although the two met for the first time, Murong Fu still noticed the difference between Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue. He was not as cold as Ximen Chuixue, but he was more proud than Ximen Chuixue.

No matter where he stood, his figure was straight, as if the sky would never fall and his person would never bow his head!
  "I once heard that City Lord Ye and Ximen Chuixue are regarded as the two great sword gods by the world. Today I saw that the rumors are indeed true!"

Staring at the noble figure as white as snow in front of him, Murong Fu couldn't help but praise, and then drank another glass of wine.

Ye Gucheng looked at him, as if he was surprised, and after a long time said: "Are you drinking?"

Murong Fu said: "Yes, sometimes I drink a lot!"

"Ye Gucheng said calmly: "But I never drink. Drinking can hurt your body and can cause sexual incest. It can make your sword-holding hand start to tremble, and it can make your reaction slow! "

Staring at Murong Fu who was still drinking by himself, Ye Gucheng's eyes seemed strange and he continued: "That's why I'm strange!"

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue only drank plain water, because for them, drinking was tantamount to suicide.

Murong Fu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I forgot that you never drink alcohol!"

"But in my opinion, there is no conflict between practicing martial arts and drinking. The famous hero Shen Lang of the past also drank, Li Tanhua also loved wine, and Ye Kai also drank. Without exception, they all became famous in the end and became a generation of martial arts legends!"

Looking at the lonely figure in white in front of him, Murong Fu continued to speak slowly.

Hearing Murong Fu mention the famous knights of the past, Ye Gucheng did not directly refute and continued to listen quietly.

"In my opinion, a person is like a bow. It cannot be tightened all the time. It relaxes when it needs to relax and tightens when it needs to tighten. It is not alcohol that causes sexual harm to the body, but the person himself. Because no matter what your hobby is, once you lose self-control, you will fall directly into the abyss and be unable to extricate yourself!"

Murong Fu held the wine glass in his hand and explained slowly.

"Perhaps Ximen Chuiyuki and I are pure swordsmen!"

Ye Gucheng replied lightly.

In his opinion, what Murong Fu said did make some sense, but it went against his swordsmanship.

Only Ximen Chuixue and him can be called pure swordsmen.

Both of them have never drank alcohol, and both regard kendo as their lifelong pursuit!
  For the sake of swordsmanship, they are willing to give up everything, even their own lives!

This point is obviously different from Murong Fu.

"Maybe!"

When Murong Fu heard this, he just smiled slightly.

This involves the Tao in the hearts of the two of them. Murong Fu naturally understood that just a few words would not make Ye Gucheng change his lifelong pursuit of Tao.

"Although you are not a pure swordsman, I know that you are proficient in swordsmanship. In terms of swordsmanship, you are even as good as me and Ximen Chuixue!"

Staring at Murong Fu in front of him, Ye Gucheng said slowly.

"You want to draw your sword?"

Murong Fu finally raised his head.

Ye Gucheng nodded and said: "That's right, why not draw your sword!"

Seeing the two people's aura suddenly becoming colder, the three girls Wang Yuyan, Abi, and A'Zhu who were standing next to Murong Fu seemed to feel a sharp energy coming at the same time, and their whole bodies suddenly became cold.

But fortunately, the sword energy quickly dissipated, and the three of them recovered after their bodies warmed up.

"If the city lord wants to fight with me, I will be waiting for you anytime in the future. Why rush!"

Seeing that Ye Gucheng seemed to be fighting, Murong Fu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

He understood that Ye Gucheng was aloof, and he also understood that what he said was true. After this test, he understood that Ye Gucheng was indeed above Ximen Chuixue.

When Ye Gucheng heard this, his aura relaxed slightly, and then he nodded.

"I'm here today for the embroidery thief!"

Seeing Ye Gucheng agreeing, Murong Fu temporarily moved his eyes to the people behind him, first Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, then Jin Jiuling, and lastly the Crown Prince Nan.

Different from looking at other people, Murong Fu stared at Prince Nan for the longest time. His eyes seemed to have inexplicable magic power.

Prince Nan felt as if the secret he had hidden in his heart was being seen through. In an instant, the sweat on his head was like rain...

"Am I the embroidery thief in your eyes?"

Prince Nan finally couldn't stand the torture of this look, so he suddenly spoke.

Murong Fu shook his head slightly and said: "The prince has a noble status, how can he be an embroidery thief!"

"It's just that I think your son's destiny is extraordinary, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future!"

After saying this, Murong Fu smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and others felt that Murong Fu seemed to have suddenly changed his mind and started to flatter Prince Nan.

Prince Nan seemed to be smiling, but suddenly there was a trace of panic deep in his heart. He had a premonition that his long-prepared plan had been seen through by the figure in front of him.

Maybe not much!

But as long as this matter is involved, even a trace of information leaked will be enough to put him in great danger.

Ye Gucheng's face on the side was stern, and the cold stars in his eyes suddenly grew brighter, as if he had noticed something.

But at this moment, Murong Fu suddenly turned his gaze to Jin Jiuling and said suddenly: "Are you Jin Jiuling, the chief arrester of the first six doors?"

Hearing this, Jin Jiuling smiled and said, "Yes, I am Jin Jiuling!"

"Very good, with the famous detective Jin Captou here, I think we can capture the embroidery thief faster!"

Looking at Jin Jiuling, who always maintained an excellent appearance, Murong Fu made a pun.

"It's just flattery from friends in the world, it can't be taken seriously!"

Jin Jiuling always smiled.

"Very well, bring him up!"

Murong Fu suddenly smiled meaningfully, then clapped his hands and said.

Soon, a figure was brought up.

But seeing this figure, Lu Xiaofeng changed her color the fastest.
