The knock on the door was loud and urgent, not like a girl's pink fist.

No one answered, Rong Duanyu pushed the door open and broke into the room with his skirt up. The incense burner was emitting light smoke, the double curtains were hazy, and the person in the bed was sleeping beautifully. She ran to the bed, reached out and patted the face: "Wake up, don't sleep again."

Last night, the hot pot was paired with a pot of plum wine, Rong Luoyun was incapable of drinking, and was very sleepy at the moment. "Don't quarrel with me..." He murmured, and rubbed Rong Duanyu's nails on his cheek when he turned over.

"Something happened in the city, get up!" Rong Duanyu tore the quilt away.

Rong Luoyun narrowed his eyes: "What's the matter?"

Rong Duanyu said, "There is a family whose daughter has been abused and lost her life." As if unable to speak, the capital was about to burst into tears, "It's exactly the same as the murder case two years ago, the head of the bed...is engraved with you. name."

Rong Luoyun woke up in an instant, got up and put on his clothes and tied his hair, put on his silk shoes and paced to the window to peek in the dark. The downstairs was bustling, and the people in the city walked in the direction of the Mani Tower, and the couple shouted their grievances under the tower.

Rong Duanyu asked, "What are your plans?"

Rong Luoyun closed the window: "Prepare the carriage, I will quietly return to the Bufan Palace through the back door." After being surprised, he was so calm, and before leaving, he did not forget to instruct, "Sister, tell the girls in the building to be careful and take more precautions at night."

After he said that, he left, and drove out of the Chaomu Building in a carriage, avoiding the crowd all the way back to the extraordinary palace. It was raining all night, and the long street behind the palace gate was still wet, and all the disciples were waiting on Miao Cangtai.

"Second brother!" With a sudden voice, Diao Yuliang waved in front of the hall.

Rong Luoyun got out of the car and walked over, step by step, recalling the situation in the hall yesterday. The sweet dried pears, the chattering voice, and Huo Linfeng hugging his listening chest. After stepping over the threshold, he withdrew his soul and called Duan Huaike in the chair "Big Brother".

Duan Huaike asked, "You must know the situation, what are your plans?"

Rong Luoyun breathed a sigh of relief and came to ask him about his plans again. He said lightly, "Kill it and then hurry up." As soon as this happened, everyone was in danger, and the flower thief must be caught.

Diao Yuliang came over and said, "Second brother, I scolded you for an hour."

The child's voice was hoarse, and he was probably hoarse when he cursed. Rong Luoyun touched the other side's braid and arranged: "Fourth, lead your disciples to visit the households in the city, take note of those with boudoir daughters, and patrol around these people's houses when it gets dark."

Diao Yuliang took the order and went to do it immediately. Rong Luoyun held the tea to moisten his mouth, the bitterness made his tongue numb, the enemy was in the dark, I was in the light, except for extra precautions, he was completely passive. He asked, "Brother, is the government doing anything?"

Duan Huaike said: "The government and the barracks have sent people, but I can't count on them."

With a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, Rong Luoyun suddenly hoped that General Saibei would appear. He thought for a long time, waiting for his thoughts to recover, pinching his eyebrows, and only waiting for night to go out to find thieves.

Duan Huaike reminded: "To capture him as soon as possible, the palace master, the eldest disciple, and good kung fu must all contribute."

Rong Luoyun nodded numbly, his attention stopped on the "big disciple", everyone already knew what happened, so Du Zhong must also know.

He stood up abruptly, without even saying hello, and strode out of the Shenbi Hall. The quiet and intoxicated elegant building, the locked golden pavilion, walked outside the Qianji Hall in one breath. He was extremely uneasy, but his steps towards the door were extremely firm.

Rong Luoyun walked around to the bamboo garden, his footsteps involuntarily relaxed, that firmness mixed with some grievances. In the garden, Du Zheng was washing his clothes. When he saw him, he was stunned, as if he saw a murderer.

"Where's Du Zhong?" he asked.

Du Zheng replied: "No, I went out."

Rong Luoyun thought, is he really not there? Still don't want to see him? Where did you go out, to hear his evil deeds in the city? He turned and left, without the urgency when he came, only a deep grievance remained.

The small street was long and the weather was fine that day. He was running and flying the sand swallow kite. The man smiled and looked at him and followed him all the way. Right now, he walked forward slowly, staring at the corner of his robe, and it took him a long time to reach the door of Wumingju.

When looked up, saw Huo Linfeng sitting under the eaves.

"Du Zhong!" Rong Luoyun was startled suddenly, stepping on the gravel and running in, stopping when he was a few steps away. He stared at each other, from eyebrows to eyes, from closed lips to clenched fists, he made him look all over.

Huo Linfeng said, "This subordinate trespasses again, will the palace chief punish him?"

Rong Luoyun shook his head, no. After some deliberation, I didn't know where to say the bad things, and simply pushed them to the other party, "...Are you looking for me for something?"

Huo Linfeng said: "The water and flowers in the tank were replaced with new ones, the birds were fed, and the leaves were cleared." After he reported the report, he stood up and looked at him, "Last night, I waited at the corner of Zimen until dawn, I had something to say. , but forget it for now."

The pouting appeared to be impersonal, and Rong Luoyun pursed his lips tightly. After sipping for a while, he rushed in front of Huo Linfeng unwillingly. Baba raised his face and said earnestly, "Why don't you forget it, obviously you don't want to tell me."

He rarely explained anything to people, stumbling and scratching his tongue: "I know you must have heard of it. Believe it or not, you should, you should also listen to me." He didn't dare to look people in the eyes, so he Looking at the dark lines on the front of his clothes, "I was not in Xiaoyang City at all when the murder happened two years ago, so I couldn't catch the murderer."

Huo Linfeng asked: "It's not what you did, why do others believe it?"

Rong Luoyun replied: "Three people become tigers, and everyone's mouth is full of gold!"

Huo Linfeng asked again, "Where were you last night?"

Rong Luoyun said anxiously, "I've been in the Chaomu Building all night!" He took a half step closer, with a fistful expression on his face, "My sister and I ate a hot pot and drank a pot of freshly brewed plum wine, I was very drunk... I , I didn't go anywhere!"

Huo Linfeng frowned slightly, he was waiting in the cold wind and rain, but this guy was drinking plum wine. He was so drunk that whoever helped him into the room and went to bed, who helped make the bed and undressed, glanced sideways, there was a pink mark on his cheek.

Grabbing his chin with his big hand, he asked, "Are you having sex after drinking, who caught it?"

Rong Luoyun was stunned for a moment, then covered his face and replied, "My sister caught her, she always keeps her nails that long!" After answering, he held Huo Linfeng's right wrist where he pinched his chin, "What happened last night is related to me. It doesn't matter, I will definitely prove my innocence."

Huo Linfeng let go of his hand, why didn't he prove it before, but now he is sincere.

I didn't prove it in the past because didn't care. didn't ask for an official title, and didn't ask for the glory of the lintel. Why do you want those false names? Wandering around in the grass, trying to be happy and happy, regardless of whether the world admires him or looks sideways.

"Now..." Rong Luoyun said, "I care, for fear of being misunderstood by someone."

Ashamed to say it clearly, thinking about it and fearing that others will not recognize it, he gritted his teeth and added: "You are alone."

Huo Lin risked a bit of failure, is he not a person or a horse? Rong Luoyun couldn't bear the humiliation anymore, raised his hand and punched the opponent's chest.

"Why don't you speak?" He asked aggrievedly, "Is your heart still staggering because of me? It won't stop..."

Huo Linfeng wrapped his fist in a fist, with a love-hate relationship: "I'll die if I stop!" This voice was urgent and bright, and the next sentence was deep and hoarse, "Like an idiot, he is the palace lord by his looks. Is it?"

The sour remarks that were slandered and praised in the dark caused the clouds in the sky to flutter, blocking the sun, and the clouds on the ground stared blankly. When the weather turned cloudy and it was about to rain, Huo Linfeng turned against the guest as the main general and pushed Rong Luoyun into the hall.

After getting into the study, the two circled to the desk, laying paper and grinding, and Huo Linfeng drew a map of the city. There is a huge Xiganling Mountain, and there are countless residential houses in the streets and alleys, which is like scouring for needles in the sea.

Later, Diao Yuliang sent someone to send a message every half an hour and marked it on the map, and Huo Linfeng arranged for another manpower transfer. The surroundings were quiet, and when I looked up, the idiot-like palace lord was wiping his sword. He said, "I only think about wiping my sword, but I don't know how to pour me a cup of tea."

After listening, Rong Luoyun boiled water and made tea, and turned back to the table, like a student reprimanded by the master. They were so prepared, but they knew in their hearts that whether they could catch the murderer depended more on luck.

If the murderer is in the south of the city and they are in the north of the city, it is really helpless.

Huo Linfeng said to himself, "It would be nice if someone could know the Sanskrit sound of six ways."

Six-way Sanskrit is a martial art in the Western Regions, and you can detect movement and stillness in six directions, as far as dozens of miles away. However, there are many sounds within a radius of dozens of miles, and it takes time to distinguish the desired sound, and this martial art is extremely harmful.

After using the six-way Sanskrit sound, both ears are buzzing and numb, and it is like deafness in a short time. The longer you use it, the more painful it will be, and the longer you will be deaf.

Huo Linfeng said casually, and then continued to bow his head at the desk.

Unexpectedly, Rong Luoyun on the side said: "I know the six-way Sanskrit."

Huo Linfeng turned his face suddenly, half-belief, surprise and joy, and then the letter overshadowed the doubt, and the surprise overshadowed the joy. "Why do you learn that kind of martial arts?" When his face changed, his joy disappeared. "Kungfu that hurts your ears can't be abandoned after practice, so don't use it."

Just now, I asked someone to know the six-way Sanskrit, but now I don't want to use it. Rong Luoyun had his own plans, but without saying a word, he got closer and stared at the map. Huo Linfeng put down his pen and pondered, and said, "This kind of defense has poor fluidity, and the streets and alleys are not sufficiently dispersed."

Rong Luoyun remained silent, carrying a box of chess pieces, and first scattered the five pieces in the southeast, northwest and the city center. Keeping hands, the three sons, five sons, and nine sons seem to be disorderly, but in fact there is a hidden mystery. When the last one was put down, the tea was cooked, and the fragrance was kept in the room, he asked softly, "How is it?"

Huo Linfeng was surprised: "Does the palace master know Qimen?"

Rong Luoyun pretended to be modest: "I know a little bit about the fur." ​​The line is the Xingyun Formation. For defense, the corresponding offensive formation is called the Liuyun Formation. The other party's eyes were full of admiration, his face was as calm as water, but he secretly raised his tail and fluttered.

Everything was well planned, Huo Linfeng returned to the Qianji Hall in the afternoon, taught the formation, divided the groups, and arranged it until dusk. When it got dark, all the disciples came out in a mighty manner and patrolled the city.

The three palace masters and the eldest disciple converged, Rong Luoyun wore a black bunt, tied a ponytail, and wrapped a small scarf around his neck. Huo Linfeng arrived, joking in a low voice: "Is the palace chief masked?"

Rong Luoyun snorted coldly, frightening the people without covering up. He covered the small towel over half of his face, this time it was good, those eyes became more and more attractive, as bright as the stars and the moon.

Before leaving, Rong Luoyun ordered: "Catch the murderer alive, and don't take his life for the time being."

Leaving the extraordinary palace, parted ways, and each sneaked into the city to wait for the opportunity to catch the thief. Huo Linfeng arrived in the east of the city, shuttled through the old alleys and walked over the walls, and went door-to-door to investigate.

This night was like a cat catching a mouse, and no trace of the murderer was found in the middle of the night.

In the Mani Pagoda in the center of the city, the girl who died last night was moved into the tower, and the monks were chanting sutras for her. Rong Luoyun was lurking nearby and did not dare to peek at the girl's body, but he heard her parents weeping.

Leaning against the wall and closing his eyes, he hid into a dark alley.

He didn't move at all, only his ear bones were squirming lightly, and all the True Qi in his body put pressure on both ears. The breath overturned, silently recited the heart formula, and instantly detected the sounds around him. Whispers, wailing, snoring, laughter, long rivers and waters, jungle birds and beasts, and the sounds of the six paths were all heard.

Rong Luoyun carefully distinguished, and suddenly, the eaves and tiles moved and pushed the window squeak, and it came from the north of the city!

He immediately flew to the north, and when the patrol disciples saw him passing by, they all followed suit. There was a tingling sensation in his ears, and the deep pain in the cochlea was like a needle stick.

The wind stopped, the footsteps stopped, and he couldn't hear anything at all.

Arriving in the north of the city, at the end of the spring alley, the small window opened silently, and the murderer slipped away early. Seeing that the daughter in the room was unscathed, Rong Luoyun was stunned, and he was caught in the plan of turning the tiger away from the mountain.

He moved his ears and probed again, hearing the changes in the south of the city.

Diao Yuliang was in the south of the city, chasing a suspicious figure and scolding the thief.

First in the north of the city, then in the south of the city, the flower thief's Qinggong can't be faster than Bafangyou. Rong Luoyun suddenly came up with a guess, could it be that the murderer is not one person, but a group?

After entanglement all night, after returning to peace, at least spend the night peacefully.

When the sky was cloudy, the disciples were exhausted and returned without success. Rong Luoyun also walked back, and when he met Huo Linfeng at the foot of Lengsang Mountain, he waved as if nothing happened.

My ears were numb and painful to the temples, except for the buzzing, couldn't hear a single sound. Huo Linfeng walked towards him, opened and closed his lips and said something, but he couldn't read it, and nodded blindly.

Huo Linfeng said that it was "a hard night", walked back side by side, and said, "Last night officers, soldiers and civilians were also patrolling the city. It's easier to ambush when there are many people. I suggest working together to watch in shifts."

The sentence was so long, Rong Luoyun nodded again.

Huo Linfeng said sadly, "It's just that no one is willing to join forces with Bufan Palace."

Having already ordered twice, Rong Luoyun hesitated, so he endured the pain and said "um". Sooner or later, he would not open his mouth to reveal his secrets, and after a little pondering, he said what was in his heart: "Maybe there is more than one flower thief!"

Huo Linfeng was taken aback, first because of Rong Luoyun's volume, and second because of Rong Luoyun's guess. "I'm not deaf, so I shout so loudly." He was indeed not deaf, but Rong Luoyun was very deaf.

Stepping into the palace, the rising sun casts a shadow on the street.

Huo Linfeng looked at the shadow and raised his hand, and slapped Rong Luoyun's head in the shadow. Rong Luoyun retaliated and punched him in the cheek. He pretended to be in pain: "Ah, the palace lord is bullying others."

Rong Luoyun couldn't hear him, and said indistinctly, "That's it!"

This loud voice is really unusual, Huo Linfeng said calmly, "Palace Master, I think you are a flower thief."

Rong Luoyun nodded again: "That's right!"

"..." Huo Linfeng was almost certain, before he made a sound, he lowered his face and reached out to tick the earlobe of the other person. With just this light touch, Rong Luoyun suddenly backed away in pain, his face slightly distorted.

Huo Linfeng knew that he must have used the six-way Sanskrit sound disobediently, but he couldn't say that he couldn't scold him, because he was totally deaf right now. It's enough to be deaf, and pretend to discuss with him all the way. In the dream, the fox Yuxue is cute, and the fox in front of him is very cunning!

Stepping forward, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Rong Luoyun followed, stepping on his shadow, thinking he couldn't see it!

Huo Ran turned around, as if he had killed a carbine, and Rong Luoyun jumped in front of Huo Linfeng off guard. It was numb and painful, and his pitiful energy was very natural. As long as he didn't shout loudly, anyone who looked at him would soften his heart.

General Huo who slaughtered the city was made of iron, but his heart was made of meat. Staring, watching, feeling pity for the stranger who met by chance, and feeling pity for the one in front of him.

After a long time, he sighed and said slowly with his mouth: "This is not an example."

Rong Luoyun understood, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Suddenly, the other party supported his shoulders, leaned closer, leaned against his ear, and the warm breath brushed against his ear.

do even...

What to say? Why don't he hear it? Speaking ill of him, or pouring out his heart, he tightened the apex of his heart.

He couldn't help muttering: "Du Zhong..."

"Rong Luoyun," the man called Du Zhong moved his thin lips slightly, "I am Huo Linfeng."
