Walking in the infinite world
Chapter 189
Chapter 189 Jin Jiuling
What is the most enviable thing in the world.Naturally lying at home with money falling from the sky.For Liu Yuhen and the others, this is what Lu Xiao is doing now.
He just let the honest monk deliver a message.The money was naturally sent to him, and this method made the three of them admire Lu Xiao even more.
The money arrived, much more than I expected.Obviously Wu Ming has already started to be interested in him.But the two maintain a strange balance, neither of whom has any immediate intention of seeing the other.
Wu Ming's meaning was very simple, he wanted to find out Lu Xiao's background and get to know him thoroughly.This is one of his few hobbies.
And Lu Xiao started to prepare to establish his own Azure Dragon Club.
In this era of Jianghu, the Azure Dragon Society has actually become a legend that only a few people know.The top few people in the arena know that the Azure Dragon Society actually still exists.But there seems to be some sort of dormancy going on.Although there are occasional actions, they are all carried out in a concealed state.
So much so that this arena has almost forgotten the existence that once deterred the entire arena.
As for who the master of the Azure Dragon Club is, there are different opinions.But there has never been one argument that has been able to convince the crowd.One of the most widely accepted sayings is that the owner of the Qinglong Society is the emperor.And Bai Yujing was the prince back then.
This statement is very marketable.After all, what Qinglong will show in the original work is only the tip of the iceberg.But it can already be seen that the opponent's power is beyond imagination.Therefore, it is completely understandable that it is an official organization.
But Lu Xiao knew it wasn't, the person behind the Azure Dragon Society was absolutely impossible to be the emperor. (Two reasons, one is that the world of Sword Rain wrote that the emperor behind the Blackstone is behind the scenes. I will not repeat it. Another reason is the original work and the author level. I will explain it in this chapter.)
Another more marketable theory is that the person behind the Blue Dragon Club is Huamanlou.At least Huamanlou is the successor. (I also disagree with this, and the writer explained it)
Lu Xiao knew that the Azure Dragon Society should be a purely Jianghu organization.It's just that he has an idea that the master of the Azure Dragon Society may be dead.And the heir has not been decided yet, so Qinglong will be in a hidden state.
After all, such a large organization without a leader is prone to problems.The organizational structure of the Azure Dragon Club is extremely strict.
The Azure Dragon Club is divided into twelve halls, which are code-named by month: the first month is responsible for targets, February is responsible for infiltration, March is responsible for delivering news, April is responsible for financial resources, May is responsible for punishment, June is responsible for training, July is responsible for planning, and August is responsible for planning. , September, and October are responsible for operations, November is responsible for eliminating rebellion, and December is responsible for assassinations.
Each hall is divided into three rudders, and each three halls are composed of tubes in the order of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
And under such a complex and rigorous organizational structure, there must be a leader with extraordinary force and intelligence to lead.Once the leader is lost, the organization is bound to fall into chaos.This is why Lu Xiao named his organization the Azure Dragon Club.
It can take more than 30 years to build a Dragon Club from start to finish.Even if Lu Xiao cheated, it might not work in ten or twenty years.But if it can annex the former Azure Dragon Club, wouldn't it be a one-step process.
The Jinpeng Dynasty failed to get back all of its wealth in the end.However, Lu Xiao still gave them a part, which was enough for the descendants of the Jinpeng Dynasty who had persisted for so many years to live their lives richly.
Now that this dynasty has fallen, the best result is to return to the ordinary.If you jump out forcefully, you will only be killed by the waves in the end.
At this time, there were two people sitting in Lu Xiao's room, one was Hua Man Lou, and the other was Xi Men Chuuxue.
At this time Lu Xiao was pouring a cup of tea and putting it in front of Hua Manlou.But there was nothing in front of Lu Xiaofeng, and it seemed that Lu Xiao didn't intend to add anything to him.
Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Lu Xiao helplessly, and didn't understand why this young man with unbelievably high martial arts and extremely mysterious background would do such a naive thing.
"you do not like me?"
"Yes."
"Can I ask why you don't like it?"
"No."
Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his nose, just to make fun of himself.But he didn't come to argue with Lu Xiao today.
"Why do you want to meddle in the affairs of Jinpeng Dynasty?"
"I believe you have seen it that day. It was Shangguan Xue'er who used a piece of gold to ask me to help investigate the cause of her sister's death."
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless for a moment.Naturally, it was impossible for him to believe this statement.Because from anyone's point of view, this is an excuse for Lu Xiao to intervene in this matter.
Although Lu Xiaofeng did not fight Lu Xiao directly.But he still learned from various aspects that Lu Xiao's martial arts are very powerful.I'm afraid it's at Ximen Chuuxue's level.How could such a character make a move for a piece of gold?
"You don't seem to believe it?" Lu Xiao asked casually.
"Yes, I don't think anyone would believe that."
"Really?" Lu Xiao turned to look at Huamanlou.
"Do you believe it?"
"I believe." Hua Manlou responded with a smile.
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly became angry, and turned to look at his good friend.Some helplessly asked.
"Both Yan Tieshan and Huo Xiu died, and their family property disappeared. Do you know anything about this?"
"I don't know." Lu Xiao was still concise.But Lu Xiaofeng was a little anxious.
"I don't know." Lu Xiaofeng looked at Lu Xiao speechlessly, and then glanced at the corner behind Lu Xiao.There were a dozen large boxes piled up there.Through the gaps, you can see the glittering light of gold, silver and jewelry.
Well, because there is no place to put it at the moment.So Lu Xiao casually piled the money Wu Ming sent into his room.
"Okay, let me change the question. Can you tell me, did I offend you?"
"all."
"all?"
"Yes."
"I" Lu Xiaofeng was about to defend himself.Lu Xiao interrupted him.
"Lu Xiaofeng, are you a police officer from the imperial court?"
Lu Xiaofeng's face changed, obviously realizing what Lu Xiao was going to say.
"You see, you know it's not the case. So, what qualifications do you have to investigate the case. As far as I know, in the whole world, only people in the imperial court are qualified to investigate the case.
We only met each other twice, and you ran to my house and questioned me as a suspect.Lu Xiaofeng, you are white, what qualifications do you have to interrogate me?Just by how many friends you have?
Do you want to call all your friends and try to see if they can save you when I want to kill you. "
Lu Xiaofeng's face turned pale.Having many friends is what he is most proud of in his life, and it is also one of his greatest reliance on walking the rivers and lakes.Otherwise, because of his meddling temper, he would have died a long time ago.
Having many friends has always been the envy of others, but today, he was slapped in the face.
"Huo Xiu was my friend, and he is dead."
"Huo Xiu is a traitor of the Jinpeng dynasty. He embezzled the property of the master's family, and even planned to drive out the master's family in reverse. Under normal circumstances, no one would regard such an unfaithful, treacherous and evil person as a friend Yes. But birds of a feather flock together and people form groups. Are you right, Lu Xiaofeng?"
Lu Xiaofeng was speechless.
The truth in the arena is of course that fists come first.And most of the time, it is also about helping relatives and not helping relatives.However, there is an even older unspoken rule of communication in the Central Plains, which is to see through but not to reveal.
Lu Xiaofeng was on good terms with Huo Xiu, even if Huo Xiu did something wrong, he would never leave.This is a symbol of great friendship.That's right, when there are rumors in the rivers and lakes, it is usually said that way.
But what would it be like if it were broken?
Huo Xiu was not satisfied with embezzling the former master's property, and wanted to drive out the master's family to avoid future troubles.And at this time, Lu Xiaofeng was still on his side, so did Lu Xiaofeng participate in Huo Xiu's conspiracy?
You see, if you talk about the matter, will it change immediately?Most people would not tell the truth about this, so Lu Xiaofeng himself felt that he was a great friend.In fact, he didn't realize that maybe Huo Xiu never regarded him as a friend.
Lu Xiaofeng was a little speechless at being teased by Lu Xiao, while Hua Manlou next to him showed a gloating expression, directly breaking Lu Xiaofeng's defense.Turned around and left angrily.
Lu Xiao looked at Huamanlou and asked.
"Aren't you going to comfort your friend?"
"No. He's not the kind of person who needs comfort, and he has nothing to comfort him. Instead, I feel that what you said is helping him. Do you really hate him so much?"
"Yes."
"But you still helped him. Although you were insulting him with every word, you were actually reminding him. Remind Lu Xiaofeng, don't be blinded by the people around you. You don't like him, but you don't want to see him. Something happened to him."
"Hey." Lu Xiao sighed.
"Lu Xiaofeng is not a person I like. But I still hope that there are more people like this in this Jianghu. He travels in the Jianghu alone. He is very skilled in martial arts and has many friends. Although he does not deliberately act chivalrously. But when he sees injustice, at least Also meddling.
This is not easy for a person in the world.In this arena, there are fewer and fewer people who can keep their desires, which is not good. "
Huamanlou had a strange feeling. When Lu Xiao talked about the Jianghu, he felt like he was talking about his own family.It was as if this river and lake already belonged to him.
"Listen to your words, I believe you have no malice towards this world."
"If possible, I don't want to be malicious to anyone. But in fact, this is impossible. As I said, in this world, anyone who has a little bit of power or a little bit of power, It is difficult to keep one's own moral bottom line. Therefore, evil will always exist. I can only reduce it as much as possible."
"Sounds like a good thing. Can I make a request now?"
"From your tone, are you going to use one of the three requirements?"
"Yes."
"Of course, you can bring it up anytime. What do you want?"
"I want you to fix my eyes."
Lu Xiao's hand paused for a moment, he had thought about many requests made by Huamanlou.But in fact, curing his eyes has never been in Lu Xiao's consideration.Because in his perception, Huamanlou should have gotten used to it, and loved this state, and didn't want to change it.
But now, he has changed.
"I thought you'd never ask for that."
"That's right, I used to think so too. But people change. So, at this moment, I have changed. I want to see the world again."
"Can you tell me why?"
"I didn't want to recover before, because I knew that I could see more beauty in this world when I was blind. But it's different now. There is one more you in this arena. I can't see through one, not even People can see through you.
Since then, this arena will usher in an unprecedented change.I don't want to miss this change in the arena, so I want to see it with my own eyes. "
"Makes sense. Sit still while I examine you."
Just when Lu Xiao was checking Huamanlou's eyes.The sullen Lu Xiaofeng met a friend.The moment they met, Lu Xiaofeng felt a little inexplicably awkward.Because the man in front of him is a serious catcher.And as soon as he saw him, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but think of those words that Lu Xiao hated him.No way, he was powerless to refute those words.So when I saw the catcher in front of me at this time, I always felt that something was wrong.
Jin Jiuling was very happy to see Lu Xiaofeng, and invited him to drink at Yanchun Restaurant.
Few people in Jianghu know that there are two things in Jin Jiuling that very few people can match.One is his clothes, the other is his eyes.
Jin Jiuling's eyes are not big, nor are they very bright.But as long as he looks at it, he will never forget it.
The clothes Jin Jiuling wears are always of the most noble material, the latest style and the most exquisite craftsmanship.The folding fan in his hand is worth thousands of gold, and it is also his weapon when necessary.His acupuncture skills are top-notch.
In fact, everything he does is top-notch.Even the appearance is the same, not only is the number one master of the six doors, but also the number one handsome man.Therefore, on some special occasions, others often spend a lot of money to barely achieve their goals.But he was able to succeed without spending a penny.
Of course, the most powerful thing among them is his eyes.In addition to his photographic memory, his greatest strength is his ability to see through a person at a glance.
Those murderers and thieves who have been hidden for many years.When meeting Jin Jiuling, he will instantly show his original shape because of his sharp eyesight.Just like now, as soon as he sees Lu Xiaofeng, he can see that the other party has suffered from being dumb.
This greatly increased Jin Jiuling's interest, and hurriedly dragged Lu Xiaofeng to drink, just to hear who could make Lu Xiaofeng suffer.
After drinking for three rounds, I listened to Lu Xiaofeng talk about the mysterious and weird Lu Xiao he was talking about.There was a strange expression on Jin Jiuling's face.

This is not easy for a person in the world.In this arena, there are fewer and fewer people who can keep their desires, which is not good. "
Huamanlou had a strange feeling. When Lu Xiao talked about the Jianghu, he felt like he was talking about his own family.It was as if this river and lake already belonged to him.
"Listen to your words, I believe you have no malice towards this world."
"If possible, I don't want to be malicious to anyone. But in fact, this is impossible. As I said, in this world, anyone who has a little bit of power or a little bit of power, It is difficult to keep one's own moral bottom line. Therefore, evil will always exist. I can only reduce it as much as possible."
"Sounds like a good thing. Can I make a request now?"

But now, he has changed.
"I thought you'd never ask for that."
"That's right, I used to think so too. But people change. So, at this moment, I have changed. I want to see the world again."
"Can you tell me why?"
"I didn't want to recover before, because I knew that I could see more beauty in this world when I was blind. But it's different now. There is one more you in this arena. I can't see through one, not even People can see through you.
Since then, this arena will usher in an unprecedented change.I don't want to miss this change in the arena, so I want to see it with my own eyes. "
"Makes sense. Sit still while I examine you."
Just when Lu Xiao was checking Huamanlou's eyes.The sullen Lu Xiaofeng met a friend.The moment they met, Lu Xiaofeng felt a little inexplicably awkward.Because the man in front of him is a serious catcher.And as soon as he saw him, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but think of those words that Lu Xiao hated him.No way, he was powerless to refute those words.So when I saw the catcher in front of me at this time, I always felt that something was wrong.
Jin Jiuling was very happy to see Lu Xiaofeng, and invited him to drink at Yanchun Restaurant.
Few people in Jianghu know that there are two things in Jin Jiuling that very few people can match.One is his clothes, the other is his eyes.
Jin Jiuling's eyes are not big, nor are they very bright.But as long as he looks at it, he will never forget it.
The clothes Jin Jiuling wears are always of the most noble material, the latest style and the most exquisite craftsmanship.The folding fan in his hand is worth thousands of gold, and it is also his weapon when necessary.His acupuncture skills are top-notch.

Of course, the most powerful thing among them is his eyes.In addition to his photographic memory, his greatest strength is his ability to see through a person at a glance.
Those murderers and thieves who have been hidden for many years.When meeting Jin Jiuling, he will instantly show his original shape because of his sharp eyesight.Just like now, as soon as he sees Lu Xiaofeng, he can see that the other party has suffered from being dumb.
This greatly increased Jin Jiuling's interest, and hurriedly dragged Lu Xiaofeng to drink, just to hear who could make Lu Xiaofeng suffer.
After drinking for three rounds, I listened to Lu Xiaofeng talk about the mysterious and weird Lu Xiao he was talking about.There was a strange expression on Jin Jiuling's face.
