The young master paused for a moment but saw no reaction from Su Yi. Not only was he not annoyed, but his smile grew stronger and he murmured: "Interesting, really interesting."
The man from before came up and said, "Master, could it be that he is wary of us? According to what Master Yuan Zhen said, this man should be someone who really likes to make friends... Let's help them fight off the enemy. He shouldn't
No expression."
"He is a smart man! Just this silence puts me in an embarrassing situation." The young master smiled, "If I take the initiative to approach him now, it means that I have intentions for him; but if I leave now, normally, I
I feel very unwilling and feel that I have saved the white-eyed wolf..."
"This man has great martial arts skills and is really dangerous. Young Master, why don't we go and meet up with Mr. Lu and He first? In front of this man, my subordinates... really have no confidence in protecting Young Master."
"Which one wants you to protect?" Young Master said angrily, "He is chasing us all the way. If we don't stop him and attract him, he will catch up with the two masters sooner or later. It would be terrible if that happens."
"Does high martial arts mean everything?" Young Master said proudly, "I want him to have a taste of how powerful I, Zhao Min, am!"
"Then now..." This man knew he couldn't persuade Zhao Min, so he smiled bitterly.
"Let's go!" Zhao Min turned around without any nostalgia, not even looking at Su Yi and the others, "Let's go to the front and treat them well!"
The other men quickly brought the horses, and the group of nine people patted the horses east and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, leaving only a trail of smoke and dust that gradually dissipated.
Here, after Su Yi watched Zhao Min leave, he smiled and said to Su Sanqi: "Sanqi, feed the horse, let's use some dry food before we leave."
With so many Mongolian soldiers dead here, the original plan to rest must have been changed, but Su Yi expected that the large Mongolian army would not arrive so soon, so there was still time to temporarily attack.
There weren't many people in the market, but there had been a fight just now, and by now people didn't know where to hide.
Su Sanqi went to feed the horses, and Xiao Zhao went to fetch water. Zhou Zhiruo walked up to Su Yi and asked curiously: "Brother Su, you seem to be a little respectful of the woman who was dressed as a man just now...?"
Su Yi smiled: "Do you still remember the bet we were going to make?"
Zhou Zhiruo was startled and his eyes widened: "Brother Su means... they are... how is this possible? They killed so many Tatars!"
"That's how smart she is." Su Yi said with a smile, "Killing some undisciplined scum can deceive us into trusting us. If I hadn't discovered her identity earlier, she would have fooled her around just because of this."
.”
Zhou Zhiruo was still a little shocked: "How did Brother Su see through her?"
"That's the secret." Su Yi looked at her with a smile, "Don't tell Xiao Zhao and Sanqi what you said just now. They can't keep things in mind, and it's easy for them to show it on their faces."
Zhou Zhiruo's heart moved, she lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Don't worry, Brother Su, I will never say anything."
"Just wait, we will meet her again." Su Yi said with a smile, "Then we will meet each other!"
"Brother, the meal is ready!" Xiao Zhao's voice came from the inn.
"Let's go, let's go eat first!" Su Yi greeted Zhou Zhiruo.
After a cup of tea, Su Yi and the other four returned to the east. The market had now completely turned into a dead town.
All the people in the market had already fled, because if they didn't leave, they would definitely be angered by the Mongolian army.
Half an hour later, the Mongolian army arrived. They burned the empty market to the ground. From then on, passing merchants and travelers took a detour. It was not until decades later that the place returned to its former glory.
Another night and day.
At dusk the next day, a group of four people passed Yongdeng and prepared to go to Lanzhou for the night. When they reached the foot of Gaolan Mountain, they saw two people riding two horses on the galloping road ahead, blocking the way.
The four of them reined in their horses and slowed down from a distance, then stopped in front of them.
"Is it you?"
Su Sanqi recognized these two people as the ones who killed the Tatars at the Hongshaqu Market yesterday. Surprised, he immediately felt good about him. He quickly dismounted, clasped his fists at the two men and said with a smile: "Two heroes, let's meet again.
Got it!"
The two men took a few steps forward and bowed in unison.
One person said loudly: "My young master admires Mr. Su, the leader of the Xiaoyao sect, for his martial arts and character. He is an unparalleled hero. I ordered you to invite everyone to our village to rest your horses to show your admiration."
Su Yi looked at Zhou Zhiruo. The latter's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration, and he was obviously surprised that Su Yi was so good at everything.
Su Yi blinked at her.
Then he turned around and said with a smile: "I wonder what you call your young master?"
The man said: "My young master's surname is Zhao, and I don't dare to pronounce him by his maiden name."
Xiao Zhao came closer and whispered: "Sir, the eldest lady must be obsessed with you and wants to recruit you as her son-in-law..."
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
Xiao Zhao stuck out his tongue and retracted his head with a smile.
Su Yi said to this person: "Why do we need to know each other before we meet? Please convey my gratitude, but it's inconvenient, so I won't visit."
The man was stunned for a moment, looked at each other with his companion, and then immediately said: "No matter how much we say, we have the friendship of fighting side by side with Master Su. As we pass by our land today, why don't we offer you three glasses of water and wine to chat with each other as landlords?
If Master Su really dislikes that my young master is not well-known in the world and does not want to make friends with him, then please accept this small gift as a token of my young master's admiration for Master Su."
As the man spoke, the other man opened the package he had been carrying and opened it. What was inside was actually a package full of gold ingots. It was so golden and heavy that it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Even though Su Yi didn't feel anything about money, he couldn't help but take a second look. After all, who doesn't like gold?
This person made this point, and Su Yi felt that if he refused again, he would no longer be a human being.
"This is not a small gift." Su Yi said with a smile but not a smile, "In that case, it would be better for Su to be respectful than to obey."
The two people were immediately overjoyed. The man who had been talking hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Su, for the favor! Master Su, our village is ten miles ahead. Please follow me!"
Su Yi nodded.
Seeing this man leading the way, Su Sanqi got on the horse and said happily: "Sir, we are meeting you from ten miles away. The other party is very polite."
"Be courteous to others..."
"Be courteous for nothing..."
Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao spoke at the same time, but stopped mid-sentence and looked at each other.
Su Yi smiled and said: "It's not strange to be polite to many people, and the ancients are sincere and don't deceive me."
Even if he knew that Zhao Min had bad intentions, her courtesy and low profile still made Su Yi think that this girl was a good person and good at doing things.
He knew that if he refused Zhao Min's request, the other party would probably not be able to do much to him, but this would be boring, and it would appear that Su Yi was very cautious.
He is an expert and bold person, but he is not afraid of Zhao Min's tricks.
And he also wanted to see if Zhao Min would formulate completely different plots based on his and Zhang Wuji's two personalities.
The two people in front led the way on horseback. After walking for a mile, two more people were waiting on the roadside. They were also two of the eight sharp archers they had seen before. When they saw Su Yi, they bowed and saluted from a distance, and their attitude was very serious.
Christine.
After that, two people greeted him every few miles until he crossed a wooden bridge and followed the bluestone road to the front of a large village.
This village is surrounded by small rivers, and the rivers are obviously man-made.
The riverside is lined with green willows and luxuriant grass. The manor has blue bricks and black tiles, but you can see the cornices on the walls and numerous pavilions. It is obviously a wealthy family and it is a Jiangnan-style building.
It is a strange thing to see this scene in this deserted land in the northwest.
The middle door of the manor was wide open, and Zhao Min, whom he had seen before, was wearing a green kerchief and a scholar's attire, standing at the door with a smile.
She is handsome and dignified, but also shows a certain amount of heroism and heroic spirit. Her appearance is still radiant, and her watery pupils are so clear that it makes people enchanted.
Seeing Su Yi turn over from his horse, she took a step forward, clasped her fists and said loudly: "Master Su came to Green Willow Villa today, he really shined. There are also Emei Zhou Nvxia, Miss Xiaozhao, Mr. Su Sanqi, Xiao
Women are welcome! Everyone, please!"
She actually read everyone's names at once.
Except for Su Yi, Zhou Zhiruo and the other three people were all shocked and confused.
Forget it about Zhou Zhiruo, she is quite famous in her own right and it is not difficult to find out if she inquires carefully.
But the names Xiao Zhao and Su Sanqi are not easy to know.
Especially Su Sanqi, who had always called himself Sun Nuer before. Zhao Min knew that there was only one possibility for his name, and that was that Su Yi had already found out about Su Yi's rescue of Su Sanqi in Anduan City.
.
"How do you know our names?" Xiao Zhao asked in surprise.
Zhao Min smiled and said: "In the battle at Guangmingding a few days ago, Master Su used his peerless magical power to turn the tide and destroy the Ming Cult. Even his disciple Zhang Wuji showed his talents and defeated the five major sects. These things have already spread to the martial arts world. Even if the little girl continues
If you are ignorant and ignorant, how can you not know?"
"As for the names of the three of them..." Zhao Min smiled slightly, opened the white jade fan and shook it a few times, "As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven, and the three of them are relatives and friends of Head Su.
If you are famous all over the world, the three of you will naturally benefit from it."
"That's it..." Xiao Zhao suddenly realized, his face changed slightly, he didn't know what he thought of, and he suddenly became worried.
"Everyone, please!" Zhao Min made a gesture of invitation again.
Su Yi nodded slightly, said nothing, and walked in first with his hands behind his hands. Xiao Zhao and others hurriedly followed.
Zhao Min personally led the way through the front yard and led the four people into the hall to sit down.
There is a plaque hanging high in this large hall with the four characters "Green Willow Villa" written on it.
Facing the door is a pair of words, a poem -
In the pavilion of the able house, there are mountains and forests. Others are racing horses, but I am sober in my heart. The rain has stopped, the door is quiet, the orioles are singing, and the officials are deep. The weapons are in the long corridor, and the water is behind the city. The king's grass outside the window
, there is a qin playing by the bedside. I admire you so much in the breeze, and I also know your music.
At the end of the poem, there is a line of small words: "I am overjoyed to receive the Green Willow Villa as a gift. I write a poem to praise it. Bianliang Zhao Min."
Su Yi looked at this calligraphy and felt it was indescribably fresh and elegant.
"Master Su also studies calligraphy?" Zhao Min ordered his servants to serve tea. Seeing Su Yi staring at the calligraphy non-stop, he asked with a smile.
"I understand a little bit." Su Yi smiled. This was the first thing he said to Zhao Min.
"This calligraphy is strong and vigorous, with a slender body, graceful and round, smooth and strong, and a combination of strength and softness. It is really a rare good calligraphy." Su Yi looked at Su Yi with a smile, "As the saying goes, the characters are like the person. It can be seen that Zhao
The girl has both the arrogance that is unworthy of men and the elegance of a beautiful woman. She is truly a wonderful woman with both civil and military skills."
Zhao Min's eyes were bright, and he stared at Su Yi and said: "Master Su really knows how to read, and you are both civil and military. It's a pity that we met so late. Before the battle of Guangmingding, the little girl was so ignorant that she had never heard of the name of Young Master Xiaoyao."
"Young Master Xiaoyao?" Su Yi frowned.
"It seems that Master Su doesn't know yet, but now the name of Young Master Xiaoyao has spread throughout the world." Zhao Min said with a smile.
Su Yi frowned and said nothing, secretly weighing which of the two nicknames "Xiaoyao Gongzi" and "Jade-faced Flying Dragon" sounded better.
Why do these people in the world just give people nicknames without their consent? It’s really annoying. I’ve given you a lot of names like this jade-faced flying dragon, why didn’t you call him out?
Xiao Zhao suddenly smiled and said: "Sister Zhao, my young master's nickname is Jade Faced Flying Dragon. He is not a happy young master."
"Ahem!" Su Yi coughed twice hurriedly, "Xiao Zhao, don't be rude."
Xiao Zhao made a face: "What kind of rudeness is this!"
Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zhiruo who was snickering and Su Sanqi who was looking weird. He somewhat understood what was going on and couldn't help but smile: "Master Su, you are such a wonderful person!"
At this time, several servants brought tea cups, and Zhao Min motioned for everyone to have tea first.
Su Yi didn't know much about tea, but this celadon tea cup and the tea in the cup were obviously not ordinary things. They looked extremely precious at first sight.
Xiao Zhao and others did not dare to drink from a strange place, but Su Yi remained calm, picked up the teacup, took a sip, praised "good tea", and started to taste it carefully.
When Xiao Zhao and the other three saw Su Yi's actions, they calmly picked up the tea cup and started drinking.
A strange look flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Master Su, as far as the little girl knows, Xiaoyao Sect was passed down in the previous dynasty and has not been in the world for more than a hundred years. If Master Su hadn't suddenly appeared this time,
, I’m afraid that the world doesn’t know that there is actually a Xiaoyao faction involved in the incident. Since the Xiaoyao faction has been hiding from the world, why did it suddenly appear in the world and make a big splash?”
"Since Miss Zhao even knows the names of Xiao Zhao and Sanqi, I can't hide what Su said at Guangmingding from you." Su Yi put down the tea cup with a smile, "With Miss Zhao's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult to guess me.
The reason why Xiaoyao sent the mountain."
Zhao Min was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "I know that Master Su is determined to restore the Han family. But the Mongols have been ruling the Central Plains for nearly a hundred years. The Xiaoyao sect has not come out sooner or later, but it happened to come out at this time. Could it be Master Su?"
Do you really feel that there is no cure for the current imperial court? Although there are rebels and rebellions, to the imperial court, they are just scabies. Does Mr. Su really think that the imperial court is unable to suppress rebellions in various places?"
Su Yi smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said calmly: "Don't talk about state affairs."
Zhao Min was startled, then stood up, clasped his fists, and said with a smile, "My little sister made a mistake. "Everyone has come a long way, and it's been a long journey. If you don't mind, please come here and have some wine and food first."
