West Garden, as the name suggests, is located in the west of the city and is a big garden.

Now it is past dusk, and in the flowers, under the shade of trees, and among the pavilions, there are star-like lights lit up.The evening breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and wine.The moon is as round as a mirror, hanging on the top of the tree. The tree is a Lianli tree, a tall red kapok, and two Lianli trees are combined into one, just like lovers are embracing.

In the west garden there is a lotus pond with a size of several mu. Dozens of tables are placed along the wooden path beside the lotus pond. Now there are many people sitting there, from all walks of life, men, women and children.

Lu Xiaofeng picked an empty table near the lotus pond and sat down, looked around, frowned and asked, "Do you know what Ouyang Qing looks like?"

"I don't know." Su Yang shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng asked again: "Then do you know what the person she is connecting with looks like?"

"I don't know either." Su Yang still shook his head, he didn't even know who was going to connect with her, let alone the appearance of the connector?

Lu Xiaofeng spread his hands and asked back: "Then why are we here? Could it be that when we saw two women together, we went up to strike up a conversation and asked if they were Ouyang Qing?"

"If you're willing to strike up a conversation, I'm sure at least half of the girls here will be willing to tell you the truth."

Su Yang said with a smile: "Actually, as far as I know, people in the red shoes organization have a characteristic, that is, no matter what clothes they wear, the shoes on their feet are red embroidered shoes. So we only need to find women who wear red shoes. "

"Why?" Lu Xiaofeng felt very strange.

"Women are beautiful when they wear red shoes. Women can ignore everything for the sake of beauty. Isn't this reason enough?" Su Yang laughed.

"Sometimes it's really hard for me to understand women's thoughts." Lu Xiaofeng shrugged.

During the chatting with Lu Xiaofeng, Su Yang suddenly thought of the pair of red embroidered shoes under Ouyang Qing's bed.

Since they wear red shoes no matter what they wear, why is there a pair under the bed.Could it be that Ouyang Qing went out this time because of her will?

Under what circumstances would a woman go out involuntarily?Or does she have several pairs of these shoes?

But what Lu Xiaofeng was thinking at this moment was: How can I find a woman wearing red shoes.

"Are we going to get under every girl's skirt?" he asked.

"Why not?" Su Yang said with a smile: "Anyway, the women in the red shoes organization may be very beautiful. When we see beautiful girls, we get under his skirts. There is a reason for investigation. Those who don’t dare to do, don’t want to do, or can’t pull themselves together to do bad things can all be done with confidence.”

At this moment, Su Yang suddenly closed his mouth.His eyes tightened.

As far as he could see, an old woman came out from under the shadow of the tree.

A very old woman, wearing a blue dress full of patches.It was as if a big rock was pressing on her back, as if her waist had been crushed in the middle.

When she walked, she seemed to be bent over, looking for something on the ground.The light shone on her face and her face was wrinkled.It looked like a piece of tissue paper that had been crumpled and then unfolded.

How could he meet her like this!

"Candy Stir-Fried Chestnuts"

She was also carrying a big bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a thick cotton cloth, and she was walking in the west garden, while selling: "Stir-fried chestnuts in sugar just on the market, fragrant and hot stir-fried chestnuts in sugar, It's only ten cents a catty."

Lu Xiaofeng also heard the cries, and looked back.

This glance.It made him feel uncomfortable.A lonely and poor old woman has reached the twilight years of her life.She still wants to come out and use her almost completely hoarse voice to sell her fried chestnuts in sugar.

He was a very sympathetic person, he waved to the old woman: "Old woman, come here, I'll buy two catties."

The chestnuts are really fragrant and hot.And it was just launched.

"You said ten cents a catty?"

The old lady nodded, still bent over, as if she had been looking at Lu Xiaofeng's feet, because her waist could not straighten up at all.

But Lu Xiaofeng shook his head, and said: "Ten cents a catty will definitely not work! Such good chestnuts cost at least ten taels of silver a catty, I won't buy anything less."

The old woman smiled, and the wrinkles on her face deepened.

"Ten taels of silver a catty, if you are willing to sell, I will buy two catties."

The old woman said: "Of course I will sell it, and I will also sell it for 20 taels a catty."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "But I also have something to ask you to do me a favor."

The old woman smiled wryly: "Of course, but what else can an old woman like me do for you?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said: "Your waist is bent, it seems like you are always looking for things on the ground, so I want you to find something for me."

"Looking for what?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Find a woman who wears red shoes, and there is an owl embroidered on the red shoes."

The old lady also laughed, it was perfectly appropriate for her to do this kind of thing, even if she slipped under other people's skirts, no one would be suspicious.

She took the 20 taels of silver, and her eyes were narrowed into a line of laughter: "Master, you wait here, and I will come back and tell you when I find it."

Lu Xiaofeng said: "If you can find it, I will buy you another five catties of chestnuts when I come back."

The old woman left happily.

Lu Xiaofeng was happier, not only happy, but proud.

Su Yang didn't say a word until the old woman walked away, then he smiled and said, "Only a smart person like you can come up with such a clever idea."

Lu Xiaofeng beamed brightly and said: "Of course, many people say that I am a genius, and I think this sentence is quite right."

As he spoke, he peeled a chestnut. , The chestnuts are still hot, hot and fragrant.

"But you forgot one thing, geniuses are always short-lived." Su Yang said.

Lu Xiaofeng had already put the chestnuts to his lips, but he stopped when he heard Su Yang's words, and said, "Do you know how to look at a physiognomy, do I look like someone who died young?"

"I don't know how to read faces, I only know poison." Su Yang said.

"Poison. Where is it poisonous?" Lu Xiaofeng smelled the chestnut in his hand, shook his head in disbelief: "You mean this chestnut?"

He continued: "Why does a lonely old woman sell poisonous chestnuts? And we are not the only ones here. If someone else bought her chestnuts, wouldn't they also be poisoned to death? Could it be that she is sick and likes to watch People being poisoned to death? It's not good at all."

"But besides you, have you seen anyone else buy her chestnuts?" Su Yang asked.

Lu Xiaofeng was taken aback.He is not a careless person, since the old woman left, he has been looking at her from the corner of his eye.But she peddled all the way, and indeed no one bought her chestnuts.

Is it because the old woman is too old, old people are a little disgusting.So apart from Lu Xiaofeng, a kind-hearted person, no one else is willing to take the food from her?

Su Yang pushed aside a chestnut on the table, gently crushed it into powder, and sprinkled it into the lotus pond beside the table.

Immediately, a few golden carps floated up in the pond.Competing to grab the chestnut powder.After a while, he ate up all the broken chestnuts floating on the water.

Then, all these fish had white belly without exception, and soon, their belly began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. In less than a cup of tea, a few carp turned into skeletons.

The black bone frame slowly sank towards the bottom of the water, and soon disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Xiaofeng's face turned green.If it wasn't for Su Yang's reminder, what is now a skeleton is not a fish.but him.

"You, how did you see that?"

Su Yang said mysteriously: "I got a wonderful book, which introduces poisons in detail. To tell you the truth, I can be regarded as everyone who uses poisons now."

Lu Xiaofeng rolled his eyes at him, and asked: "Since she wanted to poison us to death, she must have a purpose. Could it be that she is the real embroidered thief?"

Not far away, the old woman had already staggered over. Although she walked like an old man, her steps were still very light.The skirt she was wearing was so long that it dragged to the ground and covered her feet, and of course also covered her shoes.

There were already a lot of chestnut shells on the table, and while Lu Xiaofeng and Su Yang were still sitting with smiles, the old woman was not surprised at all, not even the slightest change in expression, she really could hold her breath.

Doesn't she know that chestnuts are poisonous?

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "It seems that there are no women wearing red shoes in this place, but there are two women wearing purple shoes and yellow shoes."

Su Yang also smiled, and said: "There is also one wearing red shoes, I have already found it."

The old woman said: "Master, have you found it? Where is it?"

Lu Xiaofeng hummed: "It's right here, it's you!"

The old woman looked at them in surprise: "Is it me? An old woman like me would wear a pair of red shoes?"

Su Yang said: "Not only is it red, but there is also an owl embroidered on it."

The old woman laughed suddenly, and her voice changed completely. If she closed her eyes and didn't look at her, the voice would be that of a girl.

Her laughter was like a silver bell, and it was more melodious than a silver bell: "Did you eat my sugar-fried chestnuts?"

"No." Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng said in unison.

"Such a good candied chestnut, why don't you eat it?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "There are a few things in the rivers and lakes that are absolutely untouchable."

"what?"

"Grandma Xiong's sugar-fried chestnuts, butcher's butcher's butcher's knife, peach blossom bee's lover's sting, and five-poison lady's peach blossom poison. But the most troublesome thing is the owl with red shoes. It is said that they want to see this owl, It's harder than trying to see these women's belly buttons."

The old woman shook her head and sighed: "Yes, it is said that anyone who has seen it will die. You both have seen it."

"We haven't seen it yet." Lu Xiaofeng said, looking at the old woman's skirt.

The old woman shook her head: "You have seen it, you must have seen it, it is in Ouyang's room."

"Just because of this, you're going to poison us to death? I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Lu Xiaofeng sneered.

The old woman sneered and stopped talking.

Her sword is the answer.

In her basket was a pair of short swords tied with bright red satin.

Just when Su Yang saw the pair of daggers, the light of the sword flashed, and the blade had already reached his and Lu Xiaofeng's throats.

Such a quick shot, such a fast sword!

Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to go to catch it, he was afraid that the blade would be poisoned, but he could hide.

His person suddenly slid out like a fish, not only reacting quickly, but also moving faster.

Su Yang didn't move his upper body, and his whole body, together with the chair under his buttocks, slid back more than a foot.

Although the old woman's sword was fast, she miscalculated a bit. No matter how fast her two swords were, she only had one person.

So she went after Lu Xiaofeng without hesitation.

No matter where Lu Xiaofeng's men went, the flickering sword light immediately followed there. Her swordsmanship seemed to be different from any school in the world. What she held was the red segment on the hilt, and the red satin drove the short sword. Far more flexible than using hands, the rapid change of moves is even more incredible.

The sword light was like a shocking rainbow, and the leaves were destroyed by Senhan's sword energy, and pieces fell, and were smashed by the sword light in an instant, and even the fifteenth bright moon seemed to be forced to lose by the Senhan's sword energy. Glorious.

Lu Xiaofeng originally thought that Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng were the fastest swordsmen in the world, but he never imagined that there was such a person in the world.

He was even ready to run away, because he never thought he could handle Ximen Chuuxue's sword, so he couldn't handle these two swords either.

Fortunately, there was a blood sword behind the old woman. (To be continued..)
