"It's okay. In fact, I have been feeling a little inexplicably irritable since I left Mingzhou, but I adjusted my breath according to your method last night, and I feel much better now." Jiang Cheng said.
"Are you like this too? I also felt uncomfortable on the way out from Cong Mingzhou. Could it be that I'm sick?" Miss Xia said.
"Look at the map and there is a small villa nearby. Let's go there. Brother Jiang and Miss Xia can have a good night's rest," Lin Xiao said.
"Will it delay things?" Jiang Cheng said.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. You have to eat when you need to eat, and you have to rest when you need to rest. If you are sick, you can't protect the young master, right?" Xie Cangxing said.
"What Brother Xie said is absolutely true," Lin Xiao said.
"Haha, there are hot meals and dishes to eat today." Xie Cangxing said.
The four of them continued walking and soon arrived at a small village.
"Ah, we finally arrived at a certain place. The four of them said they were used to sleeping in the open air, but they felt uncomfortable in the wild." Miss Xia said.
"Why are you laughing? I'm not afraid of hardship."
'Oh, little girl, stop arguing, let the young master have a good rest.'
"Brother Xie, what's the matter?"
"Of course we need to find a place to stay and eat quickly."
"Guests, would you like to have a meal or have a meal?"
"Four nice guest rooms."
"If you have any good wine or food, feel free to serve it," Xie Cangxing said.
"Okay, guest officer, please come in."
"What does it mean to serve good wine and good food? Do you have money?" Miss Xia said.
‘No! But, with your status as a young master, can you eat as you please?’ Xie Cangxing said.
"I'm talking about you." Miss Xia said.
"It's okay, everyone worked hard last night, so feel free to order."
"Hehe, the young master is on the road, so I'm not polite. I'll bring you two bottles of wine." Xie Cangxing said.
''Good wine, why don't the eldest young master and the younger brother have some.
"I don't like wine."
"Brother Xie is out and not suitable for drinking."
"Brother, how can we, as men, not drink? I'm talking about other girls drinking."
"Well, where are the people?" Xie Cangxing said.
"Shopkeeper, do you have any liquor here?"
"From what I heard, girl, you are still a high-roller in wine."
"No way, I just like to drink." Miss Xia said.
"If you want to talk about wine, you've come to the right place. Our car is rich in wine, and the wine brewed in our inn is famous far and wide."
The shopkeeper said: "Among them, Hundred Days Zui is an extremely fragrant and extremely strong wine. If you want to drink it, can I give you a small glass?"
"And I have a rule here. If a guest stays drunk after drinking for a hundred days, he will be exempted from room and board."
‘Really? Free wine, free food and accommodation.’ Miss Xia said.
"Girl, what I said is that you can get away with it if you feel fine after having a drink."
"Haha, press Quick to pour a cup and try it."
'Miss Xia, I think it's better not to drink this wine. I heard from the store that this wine is very strong.'
"It's okay, just wait for me to save money for you."
"Trouble, please serve the wine quickly."
"The smell of wine is so strong, you can feel it just by smelling it."
"Oh, this smell is amazing. If you get drunk, little girl, please give me a try." Xie Canxing said.
"Please be objective, our hangover soup is ready for you. If you feel uncomfortable, just scream."
"Drinking makes things worse, Miss Xia, you are still the same." Jiang Cheng said.
"This wine is really good. The shopkeeper is not bragging." Miss Xia drank a bottle of it directly.
"Did you drink a pot?" Lin Xiao said.
"As expected, little girl, drinking wine is the same as drinking water."
"Shopkeeper, as you said, we can do it for free. Come on, let's serve some delicious dishes."
"Girl, can you still stand?" the shopkeeper asked.
'Don't worry, I won't get drunk after a thousand cups.'
"This is amazing. No one among us has ever been drunk after drinking a pot. This table of food costs a lot of money."
The shopkeeper said.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, we will still pay you. We were just joking."
"Young master, if you are not a householder, you don't know how much money you have to pay for firewood, rice and oil. This is also our own ability." Xie Cangxing said.
"Thank you so much, sir. Let the waiter give this girl another pot," the boss said.
"Miss Xia's drinking capacity is really impressive, even a man who is so forthright can't match it," Lin Xiao said.
"No, I like to drink a few sips when I travel all over the country, but compared to you, it's nothing." Xie Cangxing said.
"Haha, I just like drinking. By the way, can I drink some wine and suck it through a straw?"
After drinking a pot, I asked, what kind of circuit is this?
"Yes, Brother Jiang is planning to rest here."
"Just don't get drunk and cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I've never been drunk before." Miss Xia said.
"How do you say whether you're drunk or not?"
'Well, I've never been drunk anyway. I'm naturally a good drinker, and over time I've grown to like drinking.'
"Haha, I really admire you."
"Your wine, sir." The waiter said to a woman in green.
"What a beauty."
"Thank you, girl, for complimenting you on how cute you are too."
"Ah, you heard me, I'm no better than you."
"Brother, you have been staring at me since I came in. What advice can you give me?" the woman said.
"Oh, I was discovered," Xie Cangxing said.
"Sir, your room is the third one upstairs. The hot water is ready. If you have any other instructions, just call me," the waiter said.
The woman said: "Well, don't come to my room to serve me without my instructions."
"That girl is so handsome, good-looking and in good shape."
"It would be great if one day I could become that kind of beauty."
"Brother Xie, you were a little rude just now."
"Are you kidding? When you see a beautiful woman, it's normal to look at her a few times. Speaking of which, that girl just now has a long breath and is not an ordinary person."
"So you think she is a master?" Lin Xiao said.
"That's not it. It's just because she is beautiful." Xie Cangxing said.
''Wait a minute, everyone, take a rest early, we have to be on our way tomorrow."
"Then I'll have another bottle of wine and I can drink it tomorrow."
"Ouch."
"How do you walk?" Boss Sun said.
"I didn't see it, I'm sorry." Lin Xiao said.
"You didn't see such a big living person, you are saying that you stepped on my foot just now, you know, if you step on my newly bought shoes like this, it will be all about you, can you see it?"
"You are deliberately looking for trouble, right?"
"Oh, you are asking for a beating," the gangster said.
"Several grown men are entangled with a girl, they are quite thick-skinned."
"What did you say!" Boss Sun said.
"After all, I just want to make money, right?"
"Oh, there is a beautiful lady here. I don't mind paying you, but I want you to come and have a drink with us, hehe." Boss Sun said.
"Yes, brother is right." said the little gangster.
"You." Lin Xiao said.
"Okay." The woman took out a sword and said, "I, Murong Lan, can't stand you being such a loser. I will drink with you with this sword."
"Think we're scared, brothers fuck guys."
"Wait a minute, let's talk carefully if you have something to say." Lin Xiao said.
"Ah, after dinner, it's time to do some exercise." Xie Cangxing said.
"Everyone, please go outside and stay out of our store."
‘Yes, it just doesn’t work here, let’s go and have a fight outside.’ Xie Cangxing said.
After going out.
Boss Sun: 'It's too late for you to regret it now, but later you will use your hands and swords without eyes, and I won't care whether you are killed or injured.'
"That's when it's too late to regret!"
"Hey, if you want to fight, just fight. Why are you talking so much?" Lin Xiao said.
"Haha, I see that some of you regret it and want to admit your mistake."
"If you don't want to drink wine as a penalty, come on, brothers," said Boss Sun.
After a fight.
The three of them were beaten until their teeth were everywhere.
"roll."
"let's go."
"Thank you for your help." Miss Xia said.
"You're welcome for it's a simple task, but you guys are quite good at it, especially since this young master is very good at using magic."
"Thank you girl for helping me, I'm very grateful."
'It's okay, I hate these hooligans the most. They haven't introduced themselves yet, I'm Murong Lan.'
Then, several people introduced each other.
"Which sect does the girl belong to? Her martial arts just now was very impressive."
"It's just a small sect. How about it? Are you injured?" the woman said.
"No, no, sister, you don't have to worry." Miss Xia said.
"Sister? I haven't heard this title for a long time." Murong Lan said.
"Haha, just call me Sister Mu."
"good."
"By the way, where did you come from?"
"Coming from Mingzhou."
"It's that lively town in the south."
"Yes, it's lively. It was a temple fair when we came."
Miss Xia said.
"They really hit it off right away," Lin Xiao said.
"I have to go on a journey tomorrow, so I'm going to ask if there's anything I need to pay attention to around here."
"The shopkeeper said there are many things in this village that are in need of help, so I'll go take a look," Xie Cangxing said.
'All right.'
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
"Then let's meet in the evening."
After some inquiring, Jiang Cheng found out that there were bandits nearby.
Lin Xiao said: "What's wrong?"
"It's not very peaceful out front, there are bandits."
"What about a loop?" Lin Xiao said.
"If we take a carriage, we can take the official road, but now we are a few days late, and we are walking. It will be delayed for many days if we go around a long way." Jiang Cheng said.
"It's okay to take a long way around." Lin Xiao said.
"If we keep procrastinating, we won't be able to catch up on time."
"I see."
"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to the trust of the door owner and let you arrive safely."
"Well, let's go out to Qianfengling. If we encounter bandits, we will kill them and eliminate harm for the people," Lin Xiao said.
"If this is the case, protecting you is still our top priority."
"With Brother Jiang here, everything will be fine. It's already dark, let's go back."
"I still need to patrol around here."
"Brother Jiang, are you afraid that those little thieves will come to take revenge?" Lin Xiao said.
“It’s best to be careful in everything,” Jiang Cheng said.
"All right."
night.
"What, why don't you sleep?"
"Ah, it's okay, I'll get up at night."
This voice sounds a bit familiar, right?
"who are you!"
Unfortunately, the baggage is gone. It's in the next door room.
Sure enough, it was Sun Dalong and his group.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"There are more and more of them, they are just those thieves."
"Run quickly."
"Don't even think about running away!"
"We'll wait and see you guys." Boss Sun said.
"Don't run away if you can."
"I don't know if there are any traps outside, so don't chase them," Jiang Cheng said.
'What's going on here,
"Shopkeeper, we just broke into a group of thieves."
"This has never happened to us."
'I think you should ask someone to check the doors and windows of the inn and report it to the official tomorrow morning.'
"Yes, yes, thank you for reminding me."
"Hurry up and see if you've lost anything."
"Miss Mu, this is the second time you have helped me. Thank you very much," Lin Xiao said.
"You're welcome." Murong said.
"Hey, why are you and Miss Xia in the same room?" Xie Cangxing said.
"Miss Xia and I got along so we stayed in the same room, and then the thieves broke in."
"Yes, thanks to Sister Mu, those thieves woke me up when they came in, otherwise I would have stolen things.
Such people are really disgusting. They received a lesson during the day and then come back to steal things at night."
"Don't be angry, kid. Next time you see them, I'll tie them up and send them to the government."
"These things are yours."
"Open it and see if there is anything missing."
"Well, there is nothing missing." Lin Xiao said.
"Oh, it's true that we have a big family and a big business. You can't carry more than a few hundred taels of baggage." Xie Cangxing said, "Those little thieves are not lucky. We can no longer be as particular about food, drink and accommodation as we are today."
"This number is indeed objective."
"It's not much. It's good to have some extra money with you when you go out," Lin Xiao said.
"Is this one point?" Miss Xia said.
"I see. I understand. I'm afraid you were considered a fat sheep as soon as you entered the village. After failing to blackmail you during the day, you continued to steal at night." Murong said.
"Hey, Miss Mu, you see, Bai Tian has taught them a lesson, maybe he's seeking revenge."
"Don't make excuses. Sister Mu is right. You wear the richest clothes among us. If you don't steal, who will you steal?" Miss Xia said.
"Yes, I was just implicated in this matter tonight. Let's talk about it. I helped you get back your baggage, young master. How can you thank me?" Murong said.
"Yes, you have to thank Sister Mu properly."
"Please give me some instructions, Miss Mu."
"Well, I heard that you are going to Zhejian Villa."
"How do you know?" Jiang Cheng said.
"I was chatting with Sister Xia just now, and I heard her mention it. I really didn't expect that I could meet two important people from the Lin family and Ouyang family here. It's a real honor."
"The Sword Tasting Ceremony at Broken Sword Villa is a flourishing time for martial arts. I heard that this year it will be even grander than in previous years. As a martial artist, I naturally want to join in the fun."
Murong said: "I heard from Sister Xia that she will be your guard."
"That's right."
'Then you are the boss, how about adding me as an extra escort, and for the sake of Xia Mei, the money will be used as food and accommodation expenses along the way, what do you think?'
"No, forgive me for being rude. The girl's identity is unknown. How can she travel with us?" Jiang Cheng said.
'Hey, you saw just now that Sister Mu helped us, and she has great martial arts skills and is a nice person, so why can't you come with us?' said Miss Xia.
'That makes sense.'
"You guys." Jiang Cheng said.
"Brother Jiang, I think Miss Xia is right. It only takes a few days to arrive anyway, so it's a good thing to go together."
Lin Xiao said.
"That's fine if that's what you decide."
‘Thank you very much, Miss Mu, I’m going to trouble you all the way.’ Lin Xiao said.
