C3
Compared to the desert, the capital city was bustling with activity. It was especially true for the small and large alleys, which were places that could not be ignored by the people. This area where both the fish and the dragons mixed together was filled with news every day, from the nobles to the ones below, they could not escape the mouths of the people in the alleys.
Every day, there would be an endless stream of customers coming to the famous Butterfly Lodge in the capital. Of course, this place did not sell butterflies, but was named because of the signboard "Butterfly Red" pipa lady — at the beginning, this restaurant was not called Butterfly Lodge, but because a few months ago, there was this pipa lady, so no one seemed to pay much attention to the dishes, wine, and services in the restaurant. Instead, they would listen to the pipa song and catch a glimpse of the butterfly's red beauty. However, this "butterfly red" person was not as soothing as her Pipa Melody. She would never accept either wealthy families or high-class gifts from any of the families in the capital, nor would she solo the music for any of the families. It made the people in the capital feel even more mysterious, and the more mysterious it was, the more people would naturally seek after this woman.
Today, the lute was playing as usual, and the butterfly tower's business was still flourishing. However, everyone's topic was related to the disappearance of the four dragons, and the imperial government had sent people to track them down.
"Do you know? When the Blue Dragon appeared three months ago, it was back in the desert. However, I heard that the people who went to the imperial government were all in a life or death situation. "
"You're not someone from the martial arts world, what do you know?"
"I heard that the leader of the Golden Tiger Guard, Kuang Hao, was swept away by the sandstorm." "No way, I heard that Kuang Hao doesn't have a Blue Dragon?"
"Nonsense, I think your information is not good enough. He managed to find the Blue Dragon. However, it is fake." "Ah, it's fake, it can't be?" "He should be. I heard that one of the heroes in the martial arts world tricked him." Being carried away by the desert storm, I am afraid that I will die... " "Who says it isn't …"
...
The sound of the lute stopped and Die Hong left the main hall. With that, the entire restaurant became much quieter.
"Ah, shopkeeper, this... Why did it stop? The third song wasn't finished yet? "Why is this …" "That's right, this is against the rules!" "What is this?"
"The guests are quiet for a moment, and then the next. Miss Butterfly Red was invited by Lu Dingwei, the son of the rich and powerful Master Lu in the capital, to go. The restaurant manager's big belly quivered along with his voice.
"Who the hell are you playing for? Miss Butterfly Red would never play for no one. Miss Butterfly Red, please come out. Everyone is waiting for you to play another song — —" "Yes, yes —" The entire restaurant seemed to explode because of the shopkeeper's announcement.
"If there is anyone who doesn't believe me or is unwilling, you can go and talk to the Lu Family or go and talk to the little miss yourself. Don't make any trouble here." After saying that, the manager left with a flick of his sleeve. Following which, the restaurant fell silent once more.
The Lu family had a lot of wealth and influence in the capital, and the name Lu Xing Sheng was known to everyone in the business circles of the capital. The Lu family had entered into the fields of inns, pawnshops, gambling houses, wharves, and other businesses, and even their servants were known as the "Three Eagles of Taihang" in the martial arts world. However, why would this mysterious woman change her mind?
The palanquin passed through several alleys and alleys, finally reaching the imposing Lu family's main gate, but it went around the small door and entered the house. After all, Lu Dingwei was doing this behind his parents' back, so even though this man was showing off his power outside, his grumpy father always made him afraid to make a name for himself at home. Moreover, he had always hoped for Lu Li's achievement in the exam., however, if the parents only thought that he had given the child the best family, the best teacher, and everything else, then Lu Dingwei might not necessarily follow the path that he had hoped for.
Die Hong hugged her lute and walked into a room. There was a table of food and wine in the room. There was a young master dressed in luxurious clothes. It was none other than Lu Dingwei. The golden fan on his chest flapped continuously. Upon seeing the red butterfly, his face was full of smiles, a smile that disgusted everyone.
At this moment, it is already dusk. The sun is slowly changing shifts with the moon …
"Young master."
"Little Red, come sit." "Young Master Xie."
After three rounds of drinking, Lu Dingwei's smile remained the same.
When the music started, that smiling face made people even more terrified. Even a fool would know what Lu Dingwei was up to.
Once again, the lute came to an abrupt halt. "Young Master, I've heard that Young Master has a bundle of Red Whip Strings hidden within his house. Would it be enough to broaden my horizons?"
"Erheh..." "Yes, but my father told everyone in the manor that they can't touch that thing without his permission …" Lu Dingwei scratched his ears and cheeks. There was a time when he was unable to keep up with the situation. He was truly afraid of this strict father of his.
"Young Noble — — The reason why I made an exception this time is that Young Noble usually treats others warmly, and is also a frequent customer of Butterfly Tower. Furthermore, I know that Young Noble is sincere to me. "That's why I'm here as a soloist. Young master, can you let me see the true appearance of that item? I'm just curious, that's all. I promised to take a look and then …" The butterfly's white face revealed a hint of red.
"Sometimes, a woman's sweet words can really kill. Sometimes, a woman's eyes, her face, can't calm people down." "Go get it, go get it!"
"Quick, go. I have something to take care of." Lu Dingwei's words did not sound like he was talking about them at all.
After a while, the red dragon that the people of the martial world dreamed of appeared. The whip was red as blood, and its head was wrapped around the dragon's body – like a collection of ghosts it had strangled.
"Red..." It's really a Red Dragon! " Butterfly Red cried out in alarm — — A Pipa Girl. She was screaming at the power of this killing weapon.
"Who is it!" The eagle let out a cry of alarm, but in a flash, the lights in the room went out. When the three eagles rushed in, the young master and the butterfly red were gone. Naturally, the red dragon couldn't stay either.
The black shadow flashed past a few alleys that were already quiet, but the three eagles had already caught up. However, when the black shadow appeared again, they were instantly cut in two. The black shadow carried a backpack and rolled into a yard, and the second shadow also flipped over.
"It's a good thing I'm not too close, otherwise I would have been dead by now." "He is carrying an axe on his back. From the looks of it, if the three of us were to really fight …" The eagle shook its head – this was because it was afraid of the opponent's greatest helplessness.
The two eagles said seriously, "We still have to go and take a look. Losing the red dragon and old master is no small matter." "Fine."
The three eagles entered the mansion one after the other, but the three cries ended abruptly, their tracking was very cautious, but after coming to this kind of expert, they would naturally reveal their weak points, but how could a high level expert only give three cries of pain to the three eagles?
In the main hall of that courtyard, a black-clothed person was sitting there solemnly. That person was six feet tall, and his face was covered. Although his eyes were dull, he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Yuwen Xing, have you settled it?"
"Alright, master. If that old bastard Lu Duanzheng didn't have this son of his, I wouldn't have been able to get the red dragon either."
"Congratulations Master, the Red Dragon is in our hands. We have succeeded in half." Butterfly Red, who was standing next to him, spoke up.
"However, that slanted wave messed up our plans. This Yang official is not that reliable. If we knew earlier, we would have given our Blue Dragon to him." Yuwen Xing said.
"That doesn't affect our plans, at least he killed Kuang Hao." The black-clothed man said.
"But will the storm take their lives?" Yuwen Xing asked. Were the eighteen Demon Knights of the desert that easy to deal with? The number of people who managed to escape from them can truly be counted on one hand. It's probably too difficult for Kuang Hao to escape. " An expert's hearing was obviously not bad. He could even clearly hear the "Ting" outside the courtyard.
"Let's go out and take a look." As soon as the black-clothed man finished speaking, Yuwen Xing and Butterfly Red were already standing in the courtyard.
There was an extra person in the yard. For some reason, his hair was still a bit short of bandages and his feet were injured. However, he seemed to have completely recovered.
His picture of the white horse, the Howling West Wind, was still imprinted on the folding fan.
