Looking at Richard, who jumped off the ship and came to the island with Lu Xiaofeng, Wu Ming's eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, and he said lightly to him: "Ximen boy, you, very good." ”

"Thank you seniors for the compliment." Richard smiled and clenched his fists, as if the tense atmosphere between the two had never happened.

Wu Ming said lightly: "Keep walking forward, you will find an annex, and the gate of the annex is closed." Wait a few hours before getting dark and then go in, there are three rooms in the courtyard, you can take Shaman's room with you, if you choose the wrong room and choose Gong Jiu's room, then you can ask for more blessings. This is a game arranged by my apprentice, it's up to you whether you can take Shaman away or not, so go in. ”

Richard nodded, and then pulled Lu Xiaofeng towards the secret island, looking at Richard's back, Wu Ming muttered softly; "What a daring and cautious boy, maybe I didn't sacrifice this island to force this kid to comply, it will be the decision I regret the most in the future."

After completing the agreed conditions of one hundred lives, Richard did not immediately take Lu Xiaofeng to the island to pick up Shaman, but first borrowed the magic cannon to make all preparations, which is enough to see his caution. And just now after Wu Ming nodded and agreed, Richard seemed to be a different person, no longer worried that Wu Ming would regret it again, and came directly to the island from the ship, which shows his boldness.

Be cautious when you should be cautious, and be bold when you should be bold, which makes Wu Ming feel more and more that Richard is a genius who is an invisible man, and this guy is naturally suitable for this.

Hearing this, the beef soup couldn't help but say, "Dad, you have just agreed to the watermelon." ”

"I know I'm not going to break my word a second time. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it, and there will always be a chance in the future. Wu Ming shook his head and said in a low voice, turning his head to look at the beef soup, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, Richard and Lu Xiaofeng walked all the way to a courtyard where the gate was closed. The two glanced at each other, and Richard said, "It seems that this is the courtyard that the little old man said." Is it to go straight in or not? ”

"Wait, Shaman is still in Gong Jiu's hands after all." Lu Xiaofeng shook his head and said, the closer he got to this critical moment, the more cautious he became.

Standing at the door of the courtyard and waiting until it was dark, Richard and Lu Xiaofeng pushed the door in. The courtyard was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. Richard was surprised to find that his ability to see at night outside was severely limited here, and his arms were so stretched that he couldn't even see the palms of his hands.

The two groped their way forward and came to a room, which was quiet, there was not a single movement, not even the sound of breathing.

Lu Xiaofeng stood at the door for about a quarter of an hour, and then he took a breath and gritted his teeth to push the door in, and the moment he pushed the door open, a voice sounded from the darkness, "Lu Xiaofeng, Ximen melon." ”

The voice is soft, as if it were an oncoming March spring breeze. Richard and Lu Xiaofeng's tense bodies relaxed at the same time when they heard this, and they both smiled at the same time and said with some surprise: "Why are you here?" ”

In this darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can still recognize the identities of the two people, who else can there be besides Hua Manlou?

Hua Manlou took Richard and Lu Xiaofeng's arms, brought them to the table and sat down, and said, "The emperor wants to find the imperial guards, and the prince of Taiping recommended the two of you." Then the emperor sent someone to find the Hua family and asked me to come to Lu Xiaofeng, the strange thing is that the emperor did not let me find Ximen melon, I heard that he heard the name of Ximen melon, and he was so angry that he dropped the cup in the court. ”

Richard smiled dumbly and said, "I met that old boy before and parted unhappily. As for this prince of the Taiping king, I have never heard of it. ”

Lu Xiaofeng frowned, puzzled: "This is strange, I have never known any Prince of Taiping, how could he recommend me and watermelon?" You also brought Hua Manlou here, could it be said that this prince of the Taiping Dynasty also has something to do with this island? ”

Richard groaned: "Just now the little old man on the shore said that this is a game arranged by Gong Jiu, since they brought Hua Manlou over and put it here." Then it means that this must have something to do with Gong Jiu. ”

"Where's Gong Jiu?"

"In one of these three rooms."

"Then let's go find him."

"No need." A voice suddenly came from outside at this time, and then a bright light came from outside the room, and the three of them stood up and walked out of the room, only to see eight beautiful women holding a bright lamp in their hands, slowly walking in from outside the courtyard.

There was also a person behind the eight women, Gong Jiu. The moment he walked into the courtyard, Hua Manlou sighed softly, "It's you?" ”

"It's me, after all, you can already hear my footsteps."

"You're Gong Jiu? It's you who learns Lu Xiaofeng's footsteps every night to sneak up on me? Why? ”

"Because I want you to make it a habit to kill me. And then—" Gong Jiu didn't continue, but smirked.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Then you can borrow a knife to kill me, a good plan to borrow a knife to kill someone." But you didn't expect the watermelon to come with me, and Hua Manlou didn't do anything to me at all. ”

Gong Jiu sneered: "Yes, I thought that the god of luck was always looking after you, but later I found out that it was actually Ximen melon who has been messing with my good deeds." ”

Richard shrugged innocently, am I to blame?

Hua Manlou suddenly asked at this time: "Do you know the prince of Taiping?" ”

Gong Jiu didn't answer positively, and said lightly: "I know the little old man." ”

Hua Manlou: "Oh? ”

"The little old man knows the prince of Taiping, do you think I won't recognize it?"

"Not necessarily. Lu Xiaofeng knew Shaman, but I had never met her. ”

"You'll see her soon, on Huangquan Road."

Richard suddenly smiled at this time and said: "Kill us, then who will be the emperor's imperial guard, and who will assassinate the emperor?" What did the prince of Taiping take to sit on that dragon chair. ”

Gong Jiu was shocked, looked at Richard and said in shock: "You know? ”

Richard shook his head and said, "I don't know, just guess." What you are doing is killing people, and you brought Hua Manlou who was sent by the emperor to find Lu Xiaofeng here, which shows that the prince of Taiping has a relationship with you. A prince colluded with a murder organization, and the prince recommended the imperial guards to the emperor, I guess it should be the same as you plan to kill Lu Xiaofeng with the hand of Hua Manlou, killing the emperor. ”

Gong Jiu was silent for a while before he sighed lightly: "The little old man said that Lu Xiaofeng is smart, but you are smarter than Lu Xiaofeng." Sure enough, it's a pity that the emperor vetoed you when he heard your name, otherwise you would be a better candidate than Lu Xiaofeng. ”

Richard groaned: "Let me guess, since I don't know when, Shaman is the bait in your hand, used to seduce Lu Xiaofeng to take the bait." But you, a guy who doesn't even know the road, shouldn't be able to come up with such a plan, who is helping you? ”

Gong Jiu said: "Little old man, I told him to let Lu Xiaofeng be an invisible person to assassinate the emperor, and he became very interested. But then, he was not interested, and every day he only read the report that came back after you killed someone. ”

As he spoke, Gong Jiu's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Richard. He thought he had found a perfect partner, but who knew that the little old man was more concerned about the method of killing people and the fact that he was invisible after killing, and Richard's sudden appearance made the little old man lose interest in assassinating the emperor.

Richard asked, "Then why didn't that prince of Taiping go to assassinate himself?" ”

"That's not going to work, if he assassinates, then how can he still sit on the throne justifiably."

"You seem to know him well."

"No one in the world knows him better than me, and I've known him since he was born."

Lu Xiaofeng suddenly said: "I know, you are his twin brother." ”

Richard turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, his eyes seemed to be looking at a big fool, and his face was loveless. I relied on my brother and I put the words on this page for you, and the answers were all on the bright side, and you finally understood that I was his twin brother? I'm afraid your Chinese teacher's coffin board can't even hold down PDD!

Gong Jiu said slowly: "No, because I am the prince of the Taiping King!" ”
