Chapter 291 Reminiscing about the past

When Sun Xiuqing saw that Lu Xiaofeng had lowered his head, he chuckled, then stopped hindering the three of them from reminiscing about old times, and turned around and went into the kitchen to prepare food and wine so that the three of them could have a good conversation.

"She is a good woman!" Lu Xiaofeng saw that Sun Xiuqing was smart and smart, and knew how to advance and retreat. She admired Ximen Chuixue's vision in choosing a lover.

Ximen Chuixue couldn't help but nodded and looked affectionately towards the kitchen. The tenderness in her eyes made Lu Xiaofeng a little worried. If Ximen Chuixue loved Sun Xiuqing so much, then his sword would no longer be as ruthless and sharp as before.

Lu Xiaofeng naturally didn't know that Ximen Chuixue's swordsmanship had changed at this time, so it was natural for him to be worried. He didn't want his friend to have any accidents during the decisive battle.

In just two quarters of an hour, several side dishes to go with wine were already placed on the table, as well as a small jar of warm bamboo leaf green. This bamboo leaf green was at least twenty years old and was produced by Zhu Xiao some time ago. The palace tribute brought back from the palace.

Lu Xiaofeng is a greedy drinker. Everyone in the world knows that Lu Xiaofeng is not short of money. Everywhere he goes, he wants the best, beautiful women, fine wine and delicious food. But everyone also knows that Lu Xiaofeng has no money. Every time he has All the money would be spent, so sometimes Lu Xiaofeng would be extremely poor.

Lu Xiaofeng picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The wine passed through her throat, and Lu Xiaofeng made a sound of satisfaction, "This is palace aged wine, where did you get it?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Ximen Chuixue in surprise, a little surprised that Ximen Chuixue could actually get this fine wine, but then, Lu Xiaofeng shook her head, no longer looking at Ximen Chuixue, but turned to look at Zhu Xiao on the other side.

Ximen Chuixue is a teetotaler. Even though Ximen Chuixue has changed a lot nowadays, Lu Xiaofeng still doesn’t believe that Ximen Chuixue knows how to drink. At this moment, his glass is still full of water. Without any wine, how could he spend so much effort? I got some old wine from the palace.

So Lu Xiaofeng realized at that time that Zhu Xiao must have made this wine. Only Zhu Xiao had the channels and the mind to get such good wine.

"Your tongue is really sensitive. You can tell that this wine is from the palace with just one taste!"

Zhu Xiao admired Lu Xiaofeng's ability in eating and drinking. If he could find any delicious food or wine, he would be right to ask him. Lu Xiaofeng was a standard shop-hunting maniac in modern times. He could have published a Ming Dynasty food map. .

"That's not true. I, Lu Xiaofeng, may not be as good at martial arts as you two, but I've definitely tasted and seen more wine than you! My tongue can taste the origin and origin of this wine with just one taste."

Lu Xiaofeng was very proud. He rarely surpassed Ximen Chuixue and Zhu Xiao in one aspect. Both of them were now at the Grand Master level, so Lu Xiaofeng felt a little proud that he could surpass them in this aspect.

"This is a gift from the emperor. If you like it, I will go to the palace and ask for some jars of good wine for you later!"

Zhu Xiao shook his head. Lu Xiaofeng is such an interesting person. He will not be jealous of his friends' achievements, but will be happy for you. However, he will also show off his skills to his friends and will not be discouraged or admit defeat, which Zhu Xiao appreciates very much.

"Do you still know the emperor?" Lu Xiaofeng raised his head in shock and put down the wine glass in his hand. This news really surprised him.

Lu Xiaofeng is different from ordinary people in the world. He is good at finding clues and investigating cases. He is often invited by the Six Gates to help, so he has more contact with the court and understands the affairs in the court. But Lu Xiaofeng and the emperor had never dealt with each other, and they never expected that Zhu Xiao and the emperor could actually be connected.

"Why, why can't the emperor and I get to know each other?"

Zhu Xiao looked at Lu Xiaofeng with some amusement. His life experience had never been told to his friends, and he had never explored their identities and backgrounds, such as where Lu Xiaofeng's martial arts came from. However, this did not affect several people. People's friendship and feelings, the most valuable thing about friends is like-minded people.

"How did you get involved with the emperor? As far as I know, your Huashan faction has never had any contact with the current royal family!"

Lu Xiaofeng was a little puzzled. As a senior disciple of the Huashan Sect, Zhu Xiao had advanced cultivation, well-informed information, and vast magical powers. He recognized all of this, but getting to know the emperor was another matter.

"Have you forgotten that my surname is Zhu? There are not two characters for Zhu in the world!"

Zhu Xiao reminded Lu Xiaofeng lightly, picked up a side dish with the chopsticks in his hand, put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

"You are from the royal family!"

Lu Xiaofenghua suddenly realized it, slapped her forehead, and secretly cursed herself for never thinking about this. In fact, this is not to blame Lu Xiaofeng. He has always respected the privacy of his friends. He has never thought about Zhu Xiao's origins and has never wanted to investigate, so he did not think of this possibility for a while.

Ximen Chuixue also glanced at Zhu Xiao in surprise. Although Zhu Xiao was usually very lazy, he was not at all as squeamish or domineering as a member of the royal family. He really did not expect that Zhu Xiao would be a member of the royal family.

"We can't be considered a royal family anymore, we can only be regarded as clan members. My father is now an official in the court and ranks second in rank!"

Zhu Xiao did not mention his father's name. As a child, you must know how to avoid taboos about your parents.

"You are in the second rank, and you are still a clan relative. Your father is Lord Zhu Hongxin!"

Lu Xiaofeng still knew a lot about the court officials, not to mention that there were not many officials to review these two conditions. Most of the royal family members, except for the vassal kings, were basically rice bugs raised by the royal family and relied on the court. The money allocated is used to live in a dream every day, and most of them have no achievements or abilities.

As for Zhu Hong's hard work, he was one of the rare heroes in the clan in recent years. He was nominated on the imperial list. He was an upright official, outstanding in ability, and had an excellent reputation among the people.

"good!"

Zhu Xiao nodded. Although their father and son had been together less and apart over the years, Zhu Xiao still respected Zhu Hongxin very much.

"I didn't expect that you are Lord Zhu's son. Then how did you become a member of the Huashan Sect and become the head disciple of the Huashan Sect?"

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously, staring at Zhu Xiao, hoping to know the whole story.

"Actually, there's nothing special about it."

Zhu Xiao picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, recalling in his mind his experience when he came to Huashan Sect to become a disciple under Zhu Shan's escort.

"When the previous emperor passed away and the new emperor was established, it was difficult for him to take charge at a young age. Therefore, there were many political parties in the court. Among them, the most powerful one was the God of Tie Dan. He was also the minister appointed by the late emperor to take care of his life. He was extremely overbearing and my father could not see it. Because I was used to his behavior, there were conflicts and disputes with him, so in order to avoid trouble, my father asked himself to be released. It has been more than ten years, but it is still difficult to return to the court!"

Zhu Xiao explained these old events in detail.

Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue listened attentively and clinked glasses from time to time to persuade them to drink. The relationship between friends also warmed up at this time.
