Chapter Fifteen Get Moving

  Hao Feng Lou was very nervous, and Xiao Xiang saw that he was uneasy and couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, Young Master... did Miss Lu scold you today?"

  Hao Feng Lou shook his head: "Why are you asking this?"

  Xiao Xiang said: "I see your complexion is not good. Young master, don't be afraid, madam said..."

  Hao Feng Lou could only press down his hand and change the subject: "Xiao Xiang Xiang, I'm asking you, is it better to hook up with Miss Lu first or for Young Master to go take office first and then have a proper marriage after becoming an official?"

  Xiao Xiangxiang supported her chin and said: "The old master is an official, the lady said that the old master is very old and still has a lot of romantic affairs. At the age of sixty, he married a fourteen-year-old concubine, so being an official is not good."

  Hao Feng's face turned red with shame, what is this place? Then he became excited, wanting to become an official. Old Master, no, the old ancestor is the model for this young master!

  At night, Hao Feng Lou coaxed Little Xiangxiang to sleep. At the third watch, Hao Feng Lou made some preparations and slipped out of the door quietly.

  The moon is like a hook, the cold wind is rustling, the tree shadows are swaying, and the night color is gloomy and chilly.

  Ling Xue, dressed in a black outfit, had been waiting nearby for a long time. Seeing Hao Feng Lou come out, she stepped forward lightly: "Why are you dressed like this."

  Hao Feng Lou's attire was really unrefined, wearing several shirts, almost wrapping himself up like a mummy.

  Hao Feng Lou took a glance at Ling Xue, who was tightly wrapped in her night-traveling clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed as he said: "I'm just making do with what I have, after all, I'm only a half-hearted monk, it's already quite something that I can manage to look like this."

  Ling Xue didn't hesitate any further, and solemnly said: "In a little while, my sister will set the fire, we'll wait here for now, once the fire starts, we'll take action immediately."

  Hao Feng Lou nodded.

  "Ling Xue looked him up and down again: 'Where's your weapon?'"

  Ling Xue had a long sword on his body, while Hao Feng Lou's body was bare and shiny, without any awareness of being on the front line.

  Hao Feng Lou said: "I have it." He then pulled out a book from his bosom.

  In the darkness, Ling Xue couldn't see what book it was, but he couldn't help saying: "You use this as a weapon?"

  Hao Feng Lou smiled bitterly and said, "You yourself also said that with me by your side you have confidence. Must I really take a knife and sword to clash with others? I'm going to provide mental support for you, of course. If there's an opportunity, I'll also mentally harm that woman."

  Ling Xue was completely messed up and had an urge to go wild.

  At this time, suddenly fire broke out.

  Someone in the darkness suddenly shouted: "Fire! Fire!"

  The location of the fire was in the ancestral hall of the Lu family.

  The ancestral hall is like a person's face, at least in the eyes of the ancients, it is more precious than life itself, because inside are enshrined the ancestors of the Lu family.

  The Lu family was suddenly in a state of panic, and everyone's first reaction was to put out the fire. Otherwise, once the old master returned and saw that his ancestors had all been reduced to ashes, he would likely kill someone.

  "Let's go!" Ling Xue shot towards the west wing of the backyard like an arrow.

  Hao Feng Lou hastily caught up with him.

  However... he suddenly realized two very serious problems. First, Ling Xue ran very fast, like a cheetah, and instantly disappeared into the darkness. Second, he had never been to the backyard, so he didn't know where that cheap woman lived at all.

  "Damn it! Bad luck from the start!" Hao Feng Lou looked at Ling Xue disappearing into the night, cursed loudly and rushed in like a headless fly.

  The backyard was in a mess, the guards had gone to put out the fire long ago, so no one stopped him. However, inside the attic was like a forest, with cries for help coming from all directions, and Hao Feng Lou couldn't even tell which direction he was facing.

  "It won't work, I have to find someone to ask." Hao Feng Lou saw a pavilion in front of him with a faint light on, and he rushed in without hesitation.

  "Is anyone there? Excuse me, where is the west wing?"

  “……”

  Hao Feng Lou shut his mouth, and indeed there was someone. A pure and lovely little sister was about to come down in her socks, still wearing her undergarments. Her white skin, especially when she bent over to put on her socks, exposed the two small rabbits in front of her chest.

  Hao Feng Lou took a deep breath in surprise, this is unscientific, how can it be so big.

  The girl was startled, looking at Hao Feng Lou with unease like a frightened deer. She fell silent for a moment, then stammered: "You are the master, I remember your voice."

  Hao Feng Lou smiled wryly and said: "So it's Miss Lu."

  "Sir, what are you...?" Miss Lu was deeply embarrassed, hurriedly wrapping the brocade quilt around herself, her bright red face refusing to look up, those long eyelashes slightly covering her starry eyes, saying: "What do you want to do? I...I'll call for someone."

  Hao Feng Lou said: "I would like to ask how to get to the west wing?"

  Miss Lu paused for a moment and said: "Turn left at the third entrance, after Yue Dong it's you..."

  Hao Feng Lou smiled wryly and said, "You don't have to be suspicious, I'll tell you, there's a fire outside, you know, the master is a person who takes the world as his own responsibility, how could he not rescue when seeing a fire? So he mistakenly rushed in, absolutely without any intention of that kind towards you, do you believe me?"

  Miss Lu obviously wasn't an idiot and shook her head readily.

  "Alright, actually I'm a golden agent under the command of the King of Yan. This fire was set by me. Now, I'll take down the Jin Yiwei agents hiding here and rebel against your father. Do you believe it or not?"

  Miss Lu still shook her head.

  Hao Feng Lou thought to himself, "You're indeed very clever. Alright, I'll tell the truth. I'm a rascal, a scoundrel. I'm the legendary figure who makes people tremble with fear, scares countless young girls, and makes numerous young women's hearts skip a beat - the ultimate lecher. I saw that you had lit a fire, so I came to take advantage of you. Now that I've taken advantage of you, don't wrap yourself in your quilt anymore. Whatever was worth seeing, I've already seen it all. Goodbye!"

  Hao Fenglou was indignant and didn't want to make excuses. Excuses were just a cover-up, and no matter how he covered it up, he couldn't hide his rascal behavior.

  Following the direction indicated by Miss Lü, Hao Feng Lou finally arrived at a courtyard. Many people had gone to put out the fire, leaving only one or two maidservants behind. The maid let out a cry of alarm and retreated far away. At this time, in the courtyard, there were already two figures, each holding a precious sword, entwined in combat amidst the clanging sounds of metal on metal.

  "It has begun." Hao Feng Lou was relieved that he had arrived in time, but upon closer inspection, his brow furrowed.

  Ling Xue was indeed a ruthless and cunning swordswoman, but this little concubine Ling Er was equally as swift as lightning. Anyone who could get close to Lord Lu's side must be an expert. In fact, Ling Xue and Ling Er were evenly matched in terms of strength, but unfortunately, Ling Xue was anxious and fearful that the Lu family would react, so she launched a series of attacks everywhere. On the other hand, after Ling Er saw through her thoughts, she became calm and composed.

  The most crucial thing in a showdown between masters is mentality.

  Hao Feng Lou shouted loudly: "Add oil."

  Ling Xue was still unaware, continuing to charge forward. However, Ling Er suddenly heard the commotion, took a step back, and swung her long sword to protect herself, her eyes darting towards Hao Feng Lou with caution.

  Hao Fenglou is not in a hurry even if he falls down.

  He watched for a moment, then pulled out a book from his pocket, which was the one brought by Xiao Xiang to his wife, Ru Yun.

  Hao Feng Lou sank into thought for a moment, then read aloud: "To continue, Shen Ao's loud laughter had already torn open Ling'er's clothes. Ling'er was originally a loose woman...Ling'er rebuked him with a smile: 'Scoundrel'. This move of the poisonous dragon emerging from its lair was Shen Da Guanren's most famous technique, how could Ling'er bear it..."
