Chapter 93: The Embroidered Bandit rises!

Lu Xiaofeng's criticism was particularly gentle, and Gu Qing heard it all.

"I didn't expect that Lu Xiaofeng, who has always been unruly, would have a day of bowing his head."

Taoist Mu walked in from outside, heard Lu Xiaofeng's words, and teased.

"More friends, more paths."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed on the side, holding chopsticks in his hand, and immediately prepared to eat vegetarian meal.

"This table was exchanged by Taoist Mu with his own collection and Master Bitter Melon."

Gu Qing blocked with chopsticks and said lightly to Lu Xiaofeng: "Your Hongmen Banquet is over there."

Recently, the Embroidered Bandit had been making a lot of trouble in the martial arts world. Jin Jiuling, the first divine catcher of the Six Doors in three hundred years, was preparing to catch the thief by shouting to catch the thief, and Master Bitter Melon was Jin Jiuling's senior brother.

Today's banquet was also specially prepared by Jin Jiuling for Lu Xiaofeng. 【

"What Hongmen Banquet?"

Seeing that the other table was actually serving vegetarian food, Lu Xiaofeng shifted his body, sat at the other table, and asked Master Mu, "What did you pay to get Master Kugua to cook?"

Master Mu smiled and said, "More friends mean more paths; Master Mu has gained a new friend, so what does a little payment matter?" Master Mu did not say what he had paid.

Seeing that Master Mu was tight-lipped, Lu Xiaofeng did not ask further, but the Hongmen Banquet mentioned by Gu Qing made Lu Xiaofeng suspicious of the motives behind the current vegetarian meal.

But suspicion is just suspicion; the meal still had to be eaten.

It was also during this meal that Master Kugua suddenly brought up that although Gu Qing had resolved the matter of the Jin Peng Dynasty and Lu Xiaofeng was also renowned in the Jianghu, neither of them was the person currently in the spotlight; in the current Jianghu, there was a figure who was the most prominent.

"Is it Ximen Chuixue?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

Hua Manlou replied from the side, "Ximen Chuixue has recently been with Sun Xiuqing of the Mount Emei Sect and has not appeared in the Jianghu for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng asked in surprise, "Together? How are they together?"

Hua Manlou calmly shared the news he knew, saying, "On the road from Shanxi back to Mount Emei, Dugu Yihe was intercepted by Ximen Chuixue again. The two sides sparred many times, but neither harmed the other's life. After the sword fight ended, it seems something else happened, and that Miss Sun from the Mount Emei Sect left with him."

Ximen Chuixue's sword never failed to draw blood, a fact that had not changed since he debuted at fifteen. Although he had slightly broken his rule at Gu Qing's hands, that was because Gu Qing was unreasonable, but for Dugu Yihe to be able to retreat unscathed after a duel with Ximen Chuixue was truly remarkable.

One must know that Ximen Chuixue's sword moves were lethal and merciless.

"I even thought Ximen Chuixue was going to become a monk."

Lu Xiaofeng was happy for Ximen Chuixue. Thinking of the person in the spotlight mentioned by Master Kugua, he guessed Ye Gucheng and others, but in the end, it was Master Kugua who revealed it, speaking of the person who was embroidering blind people in the Jianghu.

This was a freak who wore a cotton-padded jacket in the middle of summer and had a face full of thick whiskers. He had committed many major cases in the Jianghu, the most eye-catching of which were stealing eighteen bushels of pearls from the Prince Pingnan's residence, seventy scrolls of calligraphy and paintings from Huayuxuan, eight hundred thousand taels of escort silver from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency, and ninety thousand taels of gold leaves from Jinsha River...

This Embroidery Bandit held an embroidery needle in his hand; those he encountered could not escape two stabs, and after these two stabs, the person would become blind.

Among those who were embroidered, quite a few were people Lu Xiaofeng knew.

"So this is the Hongmen Banquet."

Lu Xiaofeng finally understood the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet Gu Qing had mentioned, saying, "As a divine catcher of the Six Doors, Jin Jiuling must track this case, and as Jin Jiuling's senior brother, you will definitely find him a helper, and I am the most suitable person."

"You are wrong."

Jin Jiuling came from outside and said, "I did not ask for your help."

As the number one divine catcher of the Six Doors, Jin Jiuling was dressed very luxuriously, holding a folding fan in his hand. After walking in, this magnificent appearance did not look like a divine catcher at all, but rather like a young master.

Seeing Jin Jiuling enter, Gu Qing's gaze swept over him. Looking at Jin Jiuling's attire, as the chief catcher of the Six Doors, Jin Jiuling had plenty of illicit income and a very high salary, but this person was extravagant and fond of beauty. Over time, his expenses exceeded his income. Behind this Embroidery Bandit case was Jin Jiuling's desire for money.

Therefore, Jin Jiuling had stolen a lot of silver and framed Gongsun Daniang for it all, wanting Lu Xiaofeng to capture Gongsun Daniang and then close the case. As for Jin Jiuling, while harvesting the silver, he could also prove his own cleverness and wit.

"If you didn't ask for my help, who did you ask?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Sikong Zhaixing."

Jin Jiuling said.

At that moment, Lu Xiaofeng was annoyed with Sikong Zhaixing. After hearing this name, he immediately sparred with Jin Jiuling. By the end of the argument, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to prove himself and take charge of the Embroidery Bandit matter. Only after the argument was over did Lu Xiaofeng realize he had been tricked, had fallen for a provocation, and understood the meaning of the Hongmen Banquet.

However, Lu Xiaofeng liked to join in the fun, so he took the red satin left by the Embroidery Bandit at the crime scene and examined it carefully under the light; the black peony embroidered on it was extremely exquisite.

"Good nephew, bring that satin over for us to see."

Shangguan Xueer waved her hand and said.

Lu Xiaofeng ignored the little liar Shangguan Xueer, put the satin away, and said, "I will take this satin and go find someone."

Since the red satin at the crime scene was left by the murderer, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to find the Needle God, Old Lady Xue, and let her see if there were any special clues on the red satin.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but think of Xue Bing.

If he went this time, Xue Bing would definitely bite him a few times.

"Sigh..."

Gu Qing sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"Cases aren't solved like that."

Gu Qing said calmly.

Lu Xiaofeng was curious upon hearing this, remembering that in the Jin Peng Dynasty affair, Lu Xiaofeng hadn't gathered all the clues before Shangguan Feiyan had preemptively solved the case, and this was also because Gu Qing had not been controlled by Huo Xiu's plan from the beginning, directly using the Soul-Shifting Technique to hypnotize Liu Yuhen.

Gu Qing did not believe the information provided by others; he trusted the information he found himself more.

"Do you have any clues?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked.

"I have already narrowed down the range where the Embroidery Bandit is located."

Gu Qing stood up calmly and said, "After I settle those two, I will go meet the Embroidery Bandit."

What Gu Qing disliked most was people like Jin Jiuling, and he wanted to play with Jin Jiuling properly.

"Settle them?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Shangguan Feiyan and Shangguan Xueer. Both of these people were liars who would not pay for their crimes even if they died. If they were let out, it was the Jianghu people who should be more worried.

"Since I brought them out safe and sound, I naturally have to send them back safe and sound."

Gu Qing stood up and said.

Bringing people out safe and sound meant he had to bring them back safe and sound...

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, watching Gu Qing take Shangguan Feiyan and Shangguan Xueer away from here.

"Is he very powerful?"

Jin Jiuling looked at Lu Xiaofeng beside him and asked in a low voice. He knew very little about Gu Qing, only knowing that people like Huo Xiu and Huo Tianqing had all fallen into Gu Qing's hands. However, Jin Jiuling already had confidence in his own plan.

"Very powerful."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and was about to speak when he heard Master Gusong speaking outside the meditation room.

"Next time we meet, I will defeat you!"

Master Gusong changed his decadent attitude and shouted sternly at Gu Qing.

When Master Gusong faced Gu Qing, that moment of hesitation was him wondering whether he should use his true skills. He had traveled the Jianghu and had some schemes, so he had hidden many moves.

"The enemy defeated by my hand will never be regarded as an opponent by me."

Gu Qing's voice grew distant, still calm and indifferent, saying, "I will give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me from afar!"
