Chapter 23 Spring Wind Tower

Lu Mingkong and Gongsun Wuji chatted happily and drank several cups of tea.

After the two were satisfied, Lu Mingkong cupped his hands and said, "Hero Zhao, since Junior Brother Gongsun has been found and my next wish has been fulfilled, I will return to Kunlun Mountain and practice in seclusion."

"If you have any major problems, you can send a letter by flying pigeons and tell me that I will definitely help you."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "Okay, then there will be the head of Lao Lu."

Gongsun Wuji also said: "Brother Lu, take care."

Lu Mingkong smiled slightly and turned away with many Kunlun disciples.

Zhao Jiuxiao, Gongsun Wuji, Sima You, and He Zhengyang stayed behind to prepare for the next action.

Gongsun Wuji was the first to say: "We should visit various factions to see what they are doing, and also investigate the affairs of the Money Gang and the Ghost King Sect."

Sima You fell silent, thinking, "Young Master Gongsun is right."

Zhao Jiuxiao also nodded: "Young Master Gongsun, which sect should we visit first?"

Gongsun Wuji: "Spring Breeze Building."

Sima You pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up: "Chunfeng Tower? This sect is really extraordinary."

Zhao Jiuxiao was even more curious: "What kind of sect is this?"

Gongsun Wuji: "Chunfenglou is a sect known for its boxing and lightness skills. Its head, Zhuge Lang, is a romantic man. When he was young, he used to search for flowers and ask willows. He had countless romantic debts. Later, he established Chunfenglou."

"Most people in his sect like to enjoy life, but they also follow the righteous way and don't join forces with evil ways. Zhuge Lang is also a good friend of Li Chunyang, the head of the Chongyang Palace. The two of them once went through the rivers and lakes together and left a good story."

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded: "I see."

Gongsun Wuji continued: "Two months ago, Yan Jiu, the great disciple of Chunfenglou, got into trouble and was trapped in Luoyang City without a trace. Why don't we go there and rescue Yan Jiu? Being busy can also increase your prestige."

Zhao Jiuxiao was quite curious: "Luoyang City? What is Yan Jiu doing there?"

Gongsun Wuji: "He fell in love with a prodigal woman from Luoyang, Zhou Xiaomei, known as 'Little Phoenix'. This woman is not only handsome, but also possesses soul-stirring charm. Yan Jiu fell in love with her and couldn't extricate herself."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Could she be related to the Money Gang?"

Gongsun Wuji shook his head: "I don't know about this, we can only rely on our own investigation."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "After Yan Jiu disappeared, who did Chunfenglou send to look for her?"

Gongsun Wuji: "The second disciple Xia Houfei and the third disciple Qu Liushang of the Spring Breeze Building have both searched for it. It has been more than a month so far, but there is still no clue. Even Zhou Xiaomei's figure can't be found, so I have to give up."

He Zhengyang said angrily: "Why should a prostitute be serious? This brat named Yan Jiu is really obsessed with sex."

Gongsun Wuji smiled: "This is Yan Jiu's personality, and no one can change it."

Zhao Jiuxiao's curiosity was aroused: "In this case, let's go to Luoyang City to watch the excitement."

After saying that, everyone mounted their horses and set foot on the road to their destination.

A few days later, in the early morning, outside Luoyang city.

In front of you is a bustling city.

In Tiansheng Kingdom, the commercial trade of Luoyang City is very developed, and together with Hangzhou City and Suzhou City, it has become an important commercial center.

Walking on the streets of the city, Zhao Jiuxiao saw a large number of goods from various places.

Among them, there are many kinds of tiger and bear skins from the east, silk from the south of the Yangtze River, and raisins from the western regions.

Gongsun Wuji has been here before and is familiar with everything in front of him.

The same is true for Sima You.

He Zhengyang is just the opposite. He fights at the border all year round. Like Zhao Jiuxiao, he rarely comes to such a place.

He cared less about the goods, though, than about the wine.

Before he knew it, He Zhengyang came to a restaurant and stopped.

He sniffed it gently with his nose and said, "It's Dukang wine."

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled: "Do you want to drink again?"

He Zhengyang pursed his lips: "I don't need it for now, but if Daxia Zhao is willing, I can go in and have a drink."

Zhao Jiuxiao didn't answer, but turned to look at Gongsun Wuji: "Gongsun Shaoxia, where was that woman named Zhou Xiaomei before she disappeared?"

Gongsun Wuji replied: "The 'Wanhualou' in Luoyang City."

Sima You laughed: "It really is a good name."

Zhao Jiuxiao also understood the meaning and nodded: "That's right."

After saying that, everyone moved forward and found Wanhua Tower.

Although it was daytime at this time, the business of Wanhualou was still very good.

Men kept coming in and out, and beautifully dressed beauties were waving at everyone inside: "Master, come and have a drink."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Jiuxiao also jumped in.

Others followed.

As soon as he walked in, many beauties surrounded him: "Master, let my servant accompany you to drink."

He Zhengyang was furious, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

The beauties were startled, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, with fear on their faces.

Zhao Jiuxiao took a deep breath, calmed down, and found a place to sit down.

Gongsun Wuji was not affected at all and sat there calmly.

He has been walking alone in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen all kinds of people, so he is not surprised by such a scene.

Sima You looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Although he was very patient, he had never been to a place like this before and was somewhat shy.

Xiao Er came over, cupped his hands and said, "What do you guys want to drink?"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Two jars of Dukang wine."

Xiao Er nodded: "Okay."

After paying, the wine was brought out.

He Zhengyang's eyes were straightened, he picked up the wine jar and drank it.

Zhao Jiuxiao asked the waiter: "Xiaoer, was there a woman named Zhou Xiaomei here in the past?"

The waiter nodded: "Yes, guest officer wants to find her?"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Not bad."

Xiao Er: "That's such a pity, she has already left here, and I don't know where she is going."

Zhao Jiuxiao: "Do you know where she went?"

Xiaoer shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhao Jiuxiao took out a tael of silver and put it in the opponent's palm: "Do you know now?"

Xiao Er showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "To be honest, she disappeared in her own room and never came out. I remember it clearly that day."

Zhao Jiuxiao asked again: "Where is her room?"

Xiao Er: "Master, please come with the villain."

After saying that, Zhao Jiuxiao followed the other party upstairs and came to the front of a room.

Xiao Er pushed open the door and waved his hand: "Miss Zhou lived here at that time."

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately set off and walked in.

I saw a dresser, a bronze mirror, a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe in the room.

There was no gold or silver jewelry on the dressing table, and it was obviously taken away.

Zhao Jiuxiao waved his hand: "Xiao Er, please close the door."

Xiao Er understood, nodded, and closed the door.

Zhao Jiuxiao looked at Gongsun Wuji: "Gongsun Shaoxia, is there any mechanism here?"

"Let me investigate." Gongsun Wuji began to inspect carefully.

The same is true for Sima You.

After a while, Gongsun Wuji focused on the wardrobe.

He walked up, opened the closet, and reached out to touch it.

"Bang!" A secret door was opened in the closet, allowing people to bend down and get in.

Zhao Jiuxiao also showed a satisfied smile: "Sure enough, there is a mechanism."

After saying that, everyone got into the secret door.
