Nine swords

Chapter 34. Brother 9

As long as people live in this world, they will inevitably have troubles.

Lu Xiaofeng has a new trouble, that is the embroidery thief.He didn't want to take care of this matter at first, but he fell into Jin Jiuling's aggressive tactics, so he could only take over this trouble bitterly, and decided to take care of this matter.

Gong Jiu didn't have any troubles at first, but Prince Nan and his servants lived in the luxury inn that happened to be run by Gong Jiu's subordinates in a town not far from Wanmei Villa, so he had to Don't worry anymore.

As for Yu Luocha, he should also be troubled, because now he has to go back to the life of "the dragon sees the head but not the tail", and can no longer pester his precious son all the time, all because of that troublesome Lu Xiaofeng.

Ever since, apart from the trouble of the embroidered thief, without Lu Xiaofeng's knowledge, Gong Jiu and Yu Luocha both decided to cause Lu Xiaofeng some trouble.

Of course, if some people are troubled, there must be some people who are not troubled, such as Sun Xiuqing, or Ximen Chuuxue.

Yu Luocha's "disappearing and appearing" undoubtedly gave Sun Xiuqing more opportunities to get close to Ximen Chuuxue, so she was very happy and didn't feel troubled at all.In fact, Yu Luocha's "entanglement" during this period of time also made Ximen Chuuxue feel very speechless and helpless. It was precisely because Yu Luocha wanted to avoid Lu Xiaofeng that Ximen Chuuxue agreed to let Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Jin Jiuling all come. Wanmei Villa came to "guest"... This really effectively "stopped" Yu Luocha's clingy behavior, so Ximen Chuuxue generously decided not to ask Lu Xiaofeng to pay the rent this time.

Seeing Sun Xiuqing and Ximen Chuuxue getting along "harmoniously" together, Lu Xiaofeng's jaw almost dropped to the ground, but he still wished his good friend sincerely, and he was very conscious not to bother Ximen Chuuxue with the matter of the embroidery thief. It was Lu Xiaofeng himself who caused the trouble, how could he always trouble his friends?

Especially friends who are still in love, who should be kicked by a donkey for disturbing other people's marriage.So Ximen Chuuxue was out of trouble.

However, to Lu Xiaofeng's surprise, Ximen Chuuxue was not the only friend he fell in love with. When Lu Xiaofeng saw the way Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng got along, not only did his jaw drop to the ground again, he simply fell in love with him. Wanting to poke his own eyes... It turns out that Gong Jiu has taken a fancy to the Lord Baiyun!No wonder Gong Jiu always did some things that made him puzzled before. He never thought that he would have such lofty ideals... Lu Xiaofeng admired him silently in his heart.

However, whether it is worrying or not, life always has to go on.

At this moment, five people were drinking in the private room on the top floor of the tower.This is the tallest tower and the most luxurious tavern in the city, and it is undoubtedly the property of Gong Jiu.What they drank was the best wine, spirits, spirits produced in Baiyun City.

In the past, Baiyun City produced pearls, corals, and fresh fish, but there was no wine.But I don't know why, recently Baiyun City produced a kind of wine, extremely strong wine, drinking it seems to burn people's stomachs - for those men who work hard in the rivers and lakes, there is only one kind of wine. This kind of wine is strong enough.

Therefore, as soon as this kind of wine came out, it was fired at a high price, and many people who love wine spent a lot of money for it, asking for a drink but not getting it.

But this kind of wine can only be drunk in the place that belongs to Gong Jiu, because for the time being, Baiyun City's wine is only sold to Gong Jiu, just because the price that Gong Jiu paid Ye Gucheng, no one else can afford it.

Five people drank the top-quality spirits of Baiyun City, but one of them did not drink alcohol - the person who did not drink at all was the Lord of Baiyun City.However, there are still five wine glasses, and Ye Gucheng does not drink, so his share of spirits is taken over by Gong Jiu.

After everyone drained the spicy wine, they couldn't help but be attracted by the feeling of "burning like fire", Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help asking: "This is the very strong wine that has been rumored recently. This is the first time you drink it, what is the name of this wine?"

Gong Jiu shook her head and said, "I don't know, I shouldn't ask this question." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ye Gucheng again, only to hear a cold sentence: "Baijiu."

"..." Everyone was speechless. Such a good wine, even if it was produced in Baiyun City, shouldn't be called "baijiu" with such a boring name, but in Ye Gucheng's view, wine is only fruit wine and rice wine. , wine, liquor and other major categories, and the wine brewed under his guidance is of course liquor.

But a bad name can't kill some people's alcohol addiction, Lu Xiaofeng turned to look at Gong Jiu with a "ghost" face, and said: "I also want to drink two servings of wine..."

Gong Jiu snorted and said with a smile: "Do you want to drink my share, or Ye Chengzhu's?" When he said the word "Yecheng Lord", he deliberately bit his voice very hard The playback was very slow, and the tone... made Lu Xiaofeng shudder.

Lu Xiaofeng shrank his shoulders, and secretly glanced at Ye Gucheng, seeing that he didn't respond to Gong Jiu's obvious hint, he was about to applaud Gong Jiu vigorously in his heart.Hua Manlou on the side smiled thoughtfully and said, "You can drink my share, this wine is too strong, I will pass out if I don't drink much."

Lu Xiaofeng said happily: "Qitong is the best for me!" After speaking, he happily went to get the flagon, filled everyone's wine, and moved the full-blown wine glass to his own face.

At this time, Jin Jiuling, who had been silent all this time, seemed to be preoccupied, and suddenly said, "I'll give you my wine, too." Lu Xiaofeng laughed and patted Jin Jiuling's shoulder, saying, "You are indeed my good friend, don't worry, I will do my best to solve the matter of the Embroidered Thief."

Gong Jiu shrugged his shoulders with a half-smile, Ye Gucheng's expression was indifferent, but he had been quietly sizing up Jin Jiuling all the time.

It has to be said that Jin Jiuling looks very good, but it is a pity that Ye Gucheng's enthusiasm for seeing beauties has been greatly affected: because he has already realized that although there are countless beautiful men in this world, each with its own merits, and a hundred flowers are competing for beauty... But they There are always some abnormalities, for example, Gong Jiu, or Jin Jiuling: he is also very good, with a handsome appearance, strong martial arts, and a reputation far and wide—but why is he a embroidered thief?

Ye Gucheng only needs to imagine that Jin Jiuling put on a big beard, wrapped in a flowered padded jacket, wearing red embroidered shoes, and then holding a silver needle in his hand, slowly embroidering big red peony flowers - just thinking about it, Ye Gucheng's whole body is about to get pimples Yes: Jin Jiuling's abnormality is not low. The only thing he loses to Gong Jiu is that his abnormality is faked, while Gong Jiu is a real abnormality who is "naturally carved".

Gong Jiu didn't know that Ye Gucheng was evaluating his and Jin Jiuling's "abnormality index". At this time, he was smiling ambiguously, looked at Jin Jiuling, then at Lu Xiaofeng, and said "tsk tsk", "Boss Jin, It's hard work to fall in love with such a flirtatious guy like Lu Xiaofeng..." He winked at Ye Gucheng, and continued: "I still have more discernment."

Everyone instantly felt that the temperature in the tower dropped suddenly, as if it was the cold winter of April and September, and Ye Gucheng's cold star-like eyes swept over him coldly, even Lu Xiaofeng, who always loves gossip, dared not speak more At the same time, he also made up his mind in his heart: this matter must not be publicized everywhere, otherwise I am afraid that he will really suffer a blow from the Flying Immortal.

But Lu Xiaofeng "dare not" to speak, it doesn't mean that Jin Jiuling didn't dare either, he said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "Master Jiu's hobbies are different from ordinary people, so be careful not to become a dead soul under the sword."

Gong Jiu didn't care about it, and still said with a smile: "Brother Jin and I have been friends for many years, don't you know my skills? Besides, Lord Ye is also reluctant to kill me."

Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that he shouldn't be here. He neither moves nor speaks here. He will only fuel Gong Jiu's "arrogant" arrogance and make the appearance of "he and Gong Jiu have an affair"-but the two of them really I don't have a leg!Ye Gucheng didn't do anything, firstly because he couldn't kill Gong Jiu, and secondly, Gong Jiu could really be regarded as his God of Wealth. Molested a few times, made a few "jokes", and the money flowed to Baiyun City, this business is really worth it...

Jin Jiuling was probably also very surprised that Gong Jiu dared to tease the Lord of Baiyun in such a "magnificent" way. Seeing that Ye Gucheng just glanced at Gong Jiu indifferently and did not draw his sword, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows at Gong Jiu. Thumb, exclaimed: "Ninth brother is really extraordinary, Jin is willing to bow down."

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes widened, he looked at Jin Jiuling in surprise, and shouted: "You actually called him Brother Nine? You are obviously older than him, so he should call you Brother Nine instead!"

Gong Jiu hummed softly, squinted his eyes halfway, shook his wine glass and said, "Isn't everyone able to use the title of Brother Jiu?" It doesn't matter, as long as I'm better than him, he has to call me Brother Nine." And Harem Nine pretended to look at Lu Xiaofeng with disdain, and said, "It's not like everyone can call me Brother Nine, what do you think? Yell, I shouldn't."

Lu Xiaofeng had a weird expression on his face, and murmured: "Even if you want to hear it, I won't call it..." Then he said: "Gong Jiu, stop bragging, Mr. Jin's name can shock the world, you Apart from a lot of money, what else is better than him?" In fact, Lu Xiaofeng added silently in his heart that Gong Jiu's martial arts are also very powerful.

Gong Jiu shook his head and said, "I never brag." He smiled and pointed to his clothes, then pointed to Jin Jiuling, and said proudly, "My taste is far better than his."

Lu Xiaofeng was completely speechless, he looked at Gong Jiu's robe embroidered with red peonies, and that cheap folding fan in his hand; Expensive, the style is the latest, and the workmanship is the most exquisite.Even more coincidentally, Jin Jiuling also held a folding fan in his hand, which was a valuable product and could be used as a weapon when necessary.Jin Jiuling's kung fu in identifying acupoints and hitting acupoints is absolutely top-notch. In fact, as long as it is about him, no matter what it is, it is top-notch.

It's not the first-class wine, Jin Jiuling can't drink it, he doesn't like the first-class women, he will always live only the first-class life.Therefore, Jin Jiuling does not look like a famous and fearful head catcher in the underworld, but like a playboy who walks around.

From this point of view, Jin Jiuling and Gong Jiu are very similar, at least they are both like playboys, but from the point of view of "taste", Jin Jiuling is undoubtedly more like the richest man in the world than Gong Jiu.

Jin Jiuling smiled faintly: "My taste is indeed not as flattering as Brother Jiu." He looked at Gong Jiu with burning eyes, and said in a serious tone: "So I shouted 'Brother Jiu' sincerely. "

Ye Gucheng suddenly felt that Gong Jiu and Jin Jiuling had something to say, but he still couldn't figure out the cause and effect: Ye Gucheng really didn't expect that after Gong Jiu and Huo Xiu were related, Gong Jiu and Jin Jiuling also "know each other." Friends for many years"... This is really scary, and Ye Gucheng feels more and more uncertain about Gong Jiu.

In fact, Ye Gucheng really has a good impression of Gong Jiu, but Gong Jiu is too mysterious and elusive. Ye Gucheng is really worried that if he is not careful, he will be used by Gong Jiu and become unlucky cannon fodder. ——Huo Xiu is like this, and Jin Jiuling seems to be like this too, but don't forget, once the matter of the Embroidered Bandit is over, it will be the turn of the decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City!Who knows what Gong Jiu is planning, and who can be sure that Ye Gucheng will not become the next cannon fodder?

Ye Gucheng originally thought that as long as he ignored the people in Nanwangfu and refused to agree to Ximen Chuuxue's appointment, then nothing would happen.But now he felt that things might not be that simple.

So Ye Gucheng deliberately didn't refuse Nanwang Shizi's solicitation, he wanted to see what Gong Jiu would do.

Although Lu Xiaofeng also had some doubts about the friendship between Jin Jiuling and Gong Jiuling, he did not have Ye Gucheng's comprehensive understanding after all, so he continued to talk nonsense while drinking wine; Gong Jiuling and Jin Jiuling also used their own skills to mobilize the atmosphere ;Hua Manlou kept smiling, echoing a few words from time to time; Ye Gucheng remained expressionless and said nothing—on the surface, the atmosphere of these five people was quite harmonious, and they were clearly good friends with different personalities We were just drinking and chatting.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Xiaofeng, who was a little drunk, seemed to ask Gong Jiu casually: "You have so much money and you are well informed, so do you know who the embroidery thief is?"

Gong Jiu was also very casual and calm, only listening to him say: "I know."

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, Hua Manlou also became serious and listened intently, Jin Jiuling's face turned pale, as if from drinking too much wine.Ye Gucheng remained calm and thought to himself: I know it too, it's Jin Jiuling, I don't know if there will be a fight later?Jin Jiuling's martial arts is also very strong, and he just uses it to practice swords.

Gong Jiu didn't seem to feel the stagnation of the atmosphere at all, he took a sip from the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Is the peony flower embroidered on the robe on my body nice?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked like he had seen a ghost, and said, "You don't mean to tell us that these peonies were embroidered by the embroiderer, right?!"

Gong Jiu frowned slightly, like a naughty child whose prank was exposed, and said, "You don't believe it?"

Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes wide, looked straight at Gong Jiu for a while, then smiled, patted his thigh and said, "Of course I don't believe it, this joke is not funny at all, I punish you to drink three cups."

Gong Jiu curled her lips, she really accepted the punishment, and drank three cups in a row.But Ye Gucheng knew that Lu Xiaofeng actually believed it.

But so what?The embroidering thief can actually embroider clothes for Gong Jiu, what is the relationship between them?Gong Jiu was too deep and unfathomable, Lu Xiaofeng didn't dare to break skin with him rashly.Lu Xiaofeng got into so much trouble and still lived, ate, drank, had fun and hooked beautiful women, so naturally he couldn't be an idiot.
