Gu Long's World: Starting with the Legend of Chu Liuxiang

Chapter 155 Mysterious and Unpredictable

Although Jiang Chongwei was blind, he was not deaf. When he heard the words "red shoes," he remembered the embroidered thief from the Pingnan Prince's mansion who had also stolen Mingzhu while wearing a pair of red shoes.

His expression turned strange, but he didn't believe Jiang Qingxia was the kind of person who would do such a thing.

When Xue Bing saw that her fifth sister Jiang Qingxia's identity had been exposed, she originally wanted to go forward and persuade Lu Xiaofeng not to hurt Jiang Qingxia.

Before Lu Xiaofeng could make a move, Jiang Qingxia turned and darted in front of him, about to poke his eyes with her slender fingers.

She had been a member of the Red Shoes organization for much longer than Xue Bing and knew the trouble that would result from her identity being exposed. In desperation, she had no choice but to take action as well.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his palm to dodge Jiang Qingxia's two fingers, but in the blink of an eye, Jiang Qingxia had already unleashed more than ten moves.

Jiang Qingxia and Xue Bing are both among the four beauties of the martial arts world, but at the same time, they are also four fierce tigresses. Their martial arts skills are not weak, and countless people have been injured by their claws.

Jiang Fengyue knew that Lu Xiaofeng could easily handle Jiang Qingxia, so she watched helplessly from the side. It was also because Lu Xiaofeng's obsession with the Red Shoes organization was too deep, and he hadn't figured out the ins and outs of the whole matter yet.

Lu Xiaofeng is Lu Xiaofeng. When arguing with women, he might become like Lu Xiaoji (a nickname implying a timid, irritable person), but when it comes to fighting, he never jokes about his own life.

Jiang Qingxia kept attacking, and Lu Xiaofeng kept dodging, but Jiang Qingxia could clearly sense and knew that she could not possibly be Lu Xiaofeng's match.

Of course, she didn't intend to actually hurt Lu Xiaofeng, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Take this!"

Lu Xiaofeng retreated seven or eight feet, but Jiang Qingxia did not launch any hidden weapons. This was originally the most inferior trick in the fights of martial arts practitioners, but sometimes it was so convincing that people had to believe it.

Taking advantage of Lu Xiaofeng's retreat, Jiang Qingxia flipped in mid-air, intending to fly away. For her, the wisest choice at the moment was to leave first.

Seeing Jiang Qingxia trying to escape, Lu Xiaofeng reached out to grab her leg, but Jiang Qingxia was too fast, and Lu Xiaofeng only managed to remove one of her shoes.

Hidden inside the blue cloth shoe was indeed a red satin embroidered shoe.

What is the connection between red shoes and red satin? Lu Xiaofeng couldn't figure out whether Jiang Qingxia was the one who committed the serious crime.

Jiang Qingxia had disappeared into the darkness. It would have been an easy task for Jiang Fengyue to catch her, but he didn't because he knew that Jiang Qingxia was not the Embroidery Thief.

Sikong Zhaixing was entrusted by someone to deliver the items here, but only to frame Jiang Qingxia.

Jiang Chongwei's face was ashen, his fists clenched tightly. He asked, "She's gone?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, but then remembered that Jiang Chongwei was blind, so he sighed and said, "She's gone."

After a long pause, Lu Xiaofeng asked again, "Wasn't the embroidered thief you saw the other day also wearing a pair of red shoes?"

Jiang Chongwei seemed to recall something, his face turning extremely pained. He nodded with difficulty, the blood-red shadow flashing in his mind.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Jiang Chongwei said, "Qingxia said I don't quite remember what happened that day, and that's not a lie. I only remembered it after you mentioned the red shoes."

Jiang Fengyue thought to herself that people who have suffered too much trauma can indeed experience this phenomenon. If we were to explain it using the medical techniques in "The Precious Mirror of Pitying Flowers," the brain would conceal that memory by deceiving people in order to prevent them from going insane after such a great trauma.

Seeing Jiang Chongwei's pained expression, Jiang Fengyue sighed helplessly and walked over to gently press Jiang Chongwei's temples with her fingers.

Just as Jiang Chongwei was about to ask a question, he felt a warm current flow from his temples into his brain, relieving his headache and fear of verifying that memory.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "My friend here is a highly skilled doctor. It's not a bad thing that he's willing to treat you."

Jiang Chongwei sighed and said sadly, "Thank you, but I just can't understand why Qingxia would do such a thing."

Standing next to Jiang Chongwei, Jiang Fengyue said helplessly, "You don't need to think about it, and you don't need to feel pain about it, because Jiang Qingxia is not the one who did this at all."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chongwei exclaimed with delight, "So, the Embroidered Bandit isn't her?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Absolutely not. Although Jiang Qingxia's martial arts skills are not weak, it is absolutely impossible for her to blind masters like Chang Mantian and Hua Yifan in one move."

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "I only didn't stop her because I could tell she wasn't hiding her martial arts skills. Otherwise, with Lao Lu and me here today, she probably wouldn't be able to escape even if she had wings."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed, "That's right. After I fought with her, I realized she was definitely not the murderer."

Jiang Chongwei frowned and said, "If she has nothing to do with this, why did she leave?"

Jiang Fengyue laughed and said, "Who said she has nothing to do with this? The biggest connection she has to this is the pair of red shoes she's wearing."

Jiang Chongwei said, "If that's the case, then the Embroidered Bandit who also wears red shoes, could he be from the same organization as Qingxia?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "It's possible, it's possible."

Jiang Fengyue sighed, "No matter what, the real embroidered thief sent the red satin here with the intention of making Lu Xiaofeng think that Jiang Qingxia was the murderer, in order to mislead him."

He added, "The same applies to the organization behind Jiang Qingxia. If the perpetrator specifically wears red shoes when committing the crime, wouldn't that also draw people's attention to the Red Shoes organization?"

Lu Xiaofeng pondered, and Jiang Fengyue's words provided him with a good idea.

Jiang Chongwei recalled some details of the case, and the four of them discussed them. Xue Bing then steered the conversation back to Jiang Qingxia, because only Jiang Qingxia could access Jiang Chongwei and replicate the key model of the Pingnan Prince's treasury.

However, Xue Bing's theory was quickly overturned, because when Jiang Chongwei went into the treasure vault that day, the door was still locked from the outside. After the Embroidered Thief opened the door and went in, there was absolutely no way he could have come out and locked the door again.

Xue Bing suddenly said, "I really can't understand how that embroidered thief was able to get into the heavily guarded Prince Pingnan's mansion."

Lu Xiaofeng said in a deep voice, "That's why I have to try it to find out if there really is such a way to get into the Prince of Pingnan's mansion."

Xue Bing exclaimed, "Are you crazy? Do you know how many guards the Prince of Pingnan's mansion has?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "At least eight hundred or more."

Jiang Fengyue seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "Eight hundred it is. I really want to go and try my luck at the Prince of Pingnan's mansion."
