The embroidery robber committed dozens of crimes in succession and robbed 180 pearls from Pingnan Palace. He blinded Jiang Chongwei, the chief guard of Pingnan Palace.
The imperial court ordered the head of the six gates, Jin Jiuling, to investigate the case thoroughly. But Jin Jiuling had no way to investigate, so he asked his senior brother Master Balsam Pear to entertain Lu Xiaofeng. He pretended to be Lu Xiaofeng and wrote a letter to Li Yunfei and Hua Manlou.
After receiving this letter, Li Yunfei went to Master Balsam Pear's residence, and was finally ordered to investigate the case with Lu Xiaofeng when he was in danger.
Li Yunfei and Lu Xiaofeng investigated separately. Lu Xiaofeng was going to Shenzhen Villa to ask Mrs. Shenzhen Xue for help. Li Yunfei and Hua Manlou went to Pingnan Palace to investigate.
Pingnan Prince's Mansion, Jiang Chongwei's residence. Since Jiang Chongwei became blind, Pingnan Prince gave Jiang Chongwei a yard in the prince's palace, which can be regarded as taking care of him for life.
Li Yunfei looked at this former tough guy and felt a little emotional in his heart. These people would rather die than be crippled. After becoming blind, their kung fu and alcohol will basically be crippled. Li Yunfei understood their feelings. Although Li Yunfei knew that Jin Jiuling was an embroidery thief,
But he had to put on a show. He also had to find evidence to prove that he was the embroidery thief.
Li Yunfei looked at Jiang Chongwei who was sighing and asked: "That day, when you entered the palace's treasure house, the man doing the embroidery was already inside?"
Jiang Chongwei didn't speak, as if his heart had died. There was no reaction at all.
Just when Li Yunfei was at a loss what to do, Hua Manlou suddenly spoke. He looked at Jiang Chongwei and said softly: "Master Jiang, you were stabbed blind by someone else, but you may not know that I have been blind for twenty years. But
I am also doing well, don’t forget, the fish are doing well too.”
Jiang Chongwei was sitting on a chair. At this time, he stood up and said to Huamanlou: "Thank you for letting me, a blind man, know how to live well."
Jiang Chongwei said to Li Yunfei: "It is not easy for an outstanding person like Hua Manlou to still have the courage to live after becoming blind."
Li Yunfei said: "Yes, he is really an amazing person."
Hua Manlou said: "You don't have to flatter me like this. Doesn't this mean you're asking me to treat you to dinner?"
Li Yunfei laughed and said, "You have ordered this meal."
Hua Manlou smiled, her face full of hope, as if she had never been blind before.
Li Yunfei has never seen Hua Man Lou complaining about his eyes. It seems that he has never been blind.
Li Yunfei thought for a while and asked Jiang Chongwei: "I was just going to ask you? Apart from the few doubts you told Jin Jiuling, what else did you discover."
Jiang Chongwei said: "No." At this time, his face was twisted with fear. He said slowly: "Even if there is, I won't say it."
Li Yunfei asked: "Why?"
Jiang Chongwei said: "Because, I don't want you to find that person."
Li Yunfei looked at Jiang Chongwei and said, "Why is this?"
Jiang Chongwei said: "Because I have never seen anyone with such terrible martial arts skills. Even if you find him, you will definitely not be his opponent."
Jiang Chongwei seemed to think of that terrible person and that terrible needle again, and his body was constantly trembling.
At this time, a woman wearing a Taoist robe came out and said, "He is very tired. You have asked him for too long. He needs to rest. I never want him to remember what happened that day."
Li Yunfei asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
Jiang Chongwei said: "She is my sister, Jiang Qingxia." Then he said with a wry smile: "It's okay, I will be fine soon."
Li Yunfei smiled reluctantly and said, "You are a tough guy, you will get better soon."
Jiang Chongwei smiled happily and said, "Well, if you want to find me in the future, go to Qixia Temple outside the city. My sister is the host there."
Li Yunfei said angrily: "Could it be that Pingxi Prince's Mansion plans to drive you away?"
Jiang Chongwei said: "No, I am already blind. The palace will not use a blind man as the general manager. Even if they don't drive me away, I won't be able to stay."
Li Yunfei looked at Jiang Chongwei and began to feel uncomfortable again. Jiang Chongwei was originally a very promising person, but now, everything is ruined.
Li Yunfei said softly: "Master Jiang, you take good care of your health. I'll leave first. If I look for you again, I will go to Qixia Temple to find you. Have a good rest."
Outside Prince Pingnan's Mansion, at the Le Guest Inn, Hua Manlou and Li Yunfei were sitting there eating. At this time, a man with a white face and a slight beard, wearing a snow-white robe, walked in. He was holding a sword in his hand.
In an instant, it seemed that all the focus of the world was on him. He was so proud and perfect. It was as if an emperor was inspecting his people, or as if the banished immortal had descended into the world.
Li Yunfei admired Ye Gucheng very much. But he had never met Ye Gucheng. When he saw this man, he knew that this man was Ye Gucheng, the Lord of Baiyun City. No one in this world can cover up his grace, not even Ximen Chuixue
.
He walked to Li Yunfei's table and sat down. He ordered a bowl of water. Many people said that Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue were both ascetic monks. Yes, they were both ascetic monks. They never drank. They were not good at women.
It's not good for oral taste. It seems that they don't care about anything else except swords. But they are different. Ye Gucheng is the lord of Baiyun City. He has his own people to take care of. He wants to manage the huge Baiyun City. Even so, Ye Gucheng also
Become the strongest swordsman in the world. There is no one. Now Ximen Chuixue is not as famous as Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng said: "Are you here to investigate the case?"
Li Yunfei said: "Yes, we were entrusted by Jin Jiuling to investigate the embroidery thief. Lord Ye, how did you know?"
Ye Gucheng said: "How do you know who I am."
Li Yunfei said: "No one can match City Lord Ye's style. I have met Ximen Chuixue, and he is very similar to City Lord."
Ye Gucheng said: "What does it look like?"
Li Yunfei smiled and said: "You are like two peerless swords." There is no more perfect compliment to praise a swordsman than this.
Ye Gucheng's tone seemed a little gentler and he said, "You also learn to sword."
Li Yunfei said: "Yes, but compared to the city lord, there is a huge difference."
Ye Gucheng said: "You don't have to belittle yourself, I think you are already innate, and you are not bad at your age."
At this time, Huamanlou said: "How come City Lord Ye appears here? It seems he is still looking for us."
Ye Gucheng said: "This Prince Pingnan is my apprentice, I am here to teach him swordsmanship."
Hua Manlou was surprised and said: "The city lord actually accepted a disciple. Prince Pingnan is really lucky."
Ye Gucheng said: "You are Lu Xiaofeng's friends."
Li Yunfei said: "Yes, do you know Lu Xiaofeng?"
There was a hint of smile in the corner of Ye Gucheng's eyes, and he said slowly: "No, I want to see his one-touch finger that is called unparalleled in the world by the Mu Taoists."
Li Yunfei asked doubtfully: "Is Lord Ye coming here just to find Lu Xiaofeng?"
There was loneliness in Ye Gucheng's eyes like cold stars, and he said slowly: "I am a very proud person, so I have never had friends. I don't care if I don't have friends, but if I live alone in the world, I don't even have any opponents.
, that’s really lonely.”
Li Yunfei stared into his eyes and said: "If you need a friend, you can find one at any time."
Ye Gucheng said: "Really?"
Li Yunfei smiled and said: "At least now we can be friends."
Ye Gucheng said with a smile on his lips: "You are indeed a person who likes to make friends."
Li Yunfei said: "No, I don't have many friends, but they are all worth making friends with. It is a great pleasure to be able to make friends with people like you."
Ye Gucheng said: "You know Ximen Chuixue."
Li Yunfei said softly: "I just met him, Lu Xiaofeng is his friend."
Ye Gucheng said: "How is his swordsmanship?"
Li Yunfei looked at Ye Gucheng silently, and then said: "I am not his friend, but I am your friend now. I have not seen your swordsmanship, but his sword is undoubtedly very strong. If you fight,
Just like when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. No, one of them will die. I treat you as a friend, so naturally I don’t want anything to happen to you."
With a smile on his lips, Ye Gucheng said slowly: "Everyone is destined to die. If you can die by a master's sword, there will be no regrets. What's more, we still don't know who will live and who will die."
Huamanlou said: "City Lord, you have to know that you and Ximen Chuixue are known as famous swords in the world. No matter who gets into trouble, it will be a huge loss to the world."
Ye Gucheng said: "I will try Lu Xiaofeng's Lingxi Finger first."
