Still pity the grass and trees

Kong Zhuo and others rested in Renchengwei for two days, and when they set off on the third day, Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng joined their team with their horses.

"This is?" Liu Sanniang's eyes fell on Xie Wufeng, smiling.

"This is my cousin," Ji Tanyin had already thought up his words, "I don't know martial arts, so please take care of me on the way."

Everyone responded one after another: "It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"

Half a day was just a journey, but at noon, the horses and people were tired, so the group stopped to rest.

Xie Wufeng put the horse's reins into Ji Tanyin's hands, and went to the gazebo by the side of the road.Ji Tanyin fell behind, tied Zhuifeng and Zhuiyue together to graze, and finally stroked Zhuiyue's black mane, saying: "Poor horse, the master doesn't even care about you."

There was an old man selling tea and wine in the gazebo. As soon as Xie Wufeng entered, he took out a piece of silver and asked him to bring good wine and various fruits to everyone.Kong Zhuo and the others heard it, and praised: "Mr. Xie is so generous!"

Xie Wufeng smiled lightly and said: "I am weak, so I shouldn't slow down the progress of all heroes."

The dog head said kingly: "We are all friends, what are you talking about?"

They did not look down on Xie Wufeng before, and they only picked him up for Ji Tanyin's face. After getting along with him, they saw that this person spoke well and was not stingy with money, and their impression changed a lot. Immediately, several people took the initiative to talk to him and asked him how he was. business man.

"A small business of selling agarwood is nothing to worry about, it's just a matter of making a living."

When Ji Tanyin stepped into the gazebo, he just heard this sentence, and he became concerned.

"Brother Ji, your cousin is really a wonderful person!" Scud Si Jun hiccupped, pointed at Xie Wufeng and said with a smile: "We all drink from big bowls, and he took out a bronze wine glass from his arms, which is really elegant Tight! Hahahaha!"

"Si Jun, can you compare yourself to Mr. Xie, a vulgar person like you?" Liu Sanniang sat next to Xie Wufeng at some point, although she was also holding the broken porcelain bowl of the old tea seller, she was sipping lightly with an elegant posture .

Xie Wufeng smiled at Ji Tanyin and beckoned him to come over, but a dozen or so people stood in the middle and had nowhere to go, so Ji Tanyin had to stand outside and drink a bowl of tea.

After resting for a while, Kong Zhuo inquired with the old tea seller that there was an inn several tens of miles ahead, so he called everyone to mount their horses and stay overnight before dark.

The horse's hooves raised waves of dust, Ji Tanyin quietly tugged on Xie Wufeng's sleeve, signaling him to let go of the reins, and after a while, the two fell behind the team.

"Why bother to buy wine for them?" Ji Tanyin blamed, "You said that the family is a small business, so the money is so extravagant. There are still three days away from here to Dingtao. You paid for this meal, and they later I will definitely take you as a fool and ask you to pay money from time to time, brother Xie, you are really stupid."

Xie Wufeng smiled secretly in his heart, seeing Ji Tanyin's heroic eyebrows slightly frowned, with sincere worry on his face, he couldn't tell what it was like for a while, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Liu Sanniang say: "What are you two talking about when you are behind? ?”

Ji Tanyin shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

As he expected, in the next few days, the board and lodging expenses of the group will be borne by Xie Wufeng. Xie Wufeng spends money without blinking an eye, but Ji Tanyin feels distressed and secretly calls him a prodigal.

Seeing Ji Tanyin pouting, Liu Sanniang jokingly said, "Mr. Xie, you see that Ayin loves your money!"

In the past few days, Liu Sanniang has been hanging out with them all the time. She has a bold personality and a soft voice, and the men in the company let her go, but Ji Tanyin doesn't like her very much.He doesn't like Liu Sanniang calling him Ayin, nor does he like her familiar and intimate attitude when talking to Xie Wufeng, so don't overdo it.

As the date of the wedding banquet approaches, more and more people from the rivers and lakes walk on the road. People like Kong Zhuo and the dog head king have a wide range of friends, and they will meet acquaintances every day. people.

Few people in this group were outstanding in martial arts. They heard that Ji Tanyin was Ji Heng's disciple, and they all wanted to learn from him. After two fights on the road, they were convinced by Ji Tanyin.

"Ayin is really powerful." Xie Wufeng was afraid of being hurt by the sword wind, so he hid on the outermost layer and watched. When Ji Tanyin approached, he handed him a chicken leg that was roasted golden and oily.

They slept in the wild that night, Ji Tanyin looked left and right, saw Liu Sanniang sitting far away in front of a bonfire, and asked, "Why isn't she with you anymore?"

"Miss Liu is a smart person. When I told her that I was married, she understood."

"Understand what?" Ji Tanyin took a bite of the chicken leg and asked inarticulately, "Are you really married?"

Xie Wufeng laughed: "You are too easy to deceive."

The next day, they arrived in Dingtao County.Looking up, I saw that all the people walking and going on the street were heroes from the Jianghu, who came to congratulate Shen Pei's son's newly married, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands.

Kong Zhuo said: "Most of the inns are full, let's spread out and look for accommodation."

Ji Tanyin and Xie Wufeng led their horses around the city, with Liu Sanniang, Monk Jinlian and others following behind them.Arriving at an inn called Jinmeng, Ji Tanyin went in to inquire, and learned that there were still four vacant rooms, so she hurriedly called them over.

There are seven people in the group, only Liu Sanniang is a woman, so it is impossible to live in a room alone.They were discussing how to distribute, when one of the people drinking nearby suddenly smiled lewdly and said, "What are you arguing about, let this little lady come to my room!"

The lobby fell silent, and disgust appeared on the faces of the guests.The person who spoke was full of flesh, staring at Liu Sanniang with a pair of squinted eyes, and babbling.

Liu Sanniang was furious: "It's a licensed product! Which one are you talking about?!"

The man grinned, "It's just you, the little whore!"

Liu Sanniang cursed, took off the soft whip around her waist, and whipped at that person with a "shua".

This whip was so strong that it seemed that the air was torn apart, and the spectators couldn't help but praise "OK".Turning his head to look, he saw that the drunk man didn't move his legs, he grabbed the whip carelessly, and held the whip firmly in his palm.

Before the applause fell, the gasp sounded again.

Liu Sanniang was anxious, and pulled back desperately, but the whip seemed to have taken root, and it was difficult to take it back.The drunk was laughing and salivating, and suddenly pulled hard, Liu Sanniang didn't expect it, and staggered towards him.The drunkard stretched out his left hand in a welcoming gesture, and said in his mouth, "Here comes the one who throws himself into his arms!"

Seeing that Liu Sanniang was about to fall on top of the drunk, Ji Tanyin hastily drew his sword.Before it could be unsheathed, there was a sudden exclamation in the lobby.Liu Sanniang half-kneeled on the ground, stopped her castration in embarrassment, looked up, and saw a fat and oily face close at hand, her eyes were wide open, her face was full of horror, her wriggling lips could no longer make a sound .A shiny dagger pierced the drunkard's neck from back to front, and the blood-stained sword pointed straight at Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang's red face of embarrassment and anger hadn't faded yet, a stream of cold sweat had already seeped from her back.She pulled back her whip from the dead man's hand, and looked towards the door of the inn together with the whispering crowd.

A dozen or so young men in navy blue shorts came in, surrounded by a woman. The group moved quietly, and their internal strength was very good.The woman is extraordinarily beautiful, her skin is fairer than snow, and her eyes are bright and gentle, but she looks cold and makes people not easy to get close to.

Wherever they passed, the guests held their breaths, and some even lowered their eyebrows and took a step back.

"Master Huage," a few seniors in the shop greeted the woman, "Are you all right?"

"Very good, please forget about it." The woman's attitude was lukewarm, but the person who got her reply seemed to be rewarded, and she winked at her companion flauntingly.

After a few words, Ji Tanyin had already guessed that this woman was Hua Yueying, the pavilion master of the famous assassin organization "Zhuyue Pavilion" in the martial arts.Zhuyue Pavilion specializes in assassination. For hundreds of years since its establishment, it has been keeping a low profile and living in the rumors of the world. Until Hua Yueying took over the position of Pavilion Master six years ago, she changed her previous style and began to walk around in the martial arts to show her face. Na Yingcai, the more prestigious he is, the more respected he is from everyone.

In the silence, Hua Yueying lightly moved her lotus steps, walked to the side of the drunk, and glanced at the still warm corpse with disgust.Liu Sanniang quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Pavilion Master Hua, for your rescue."

Hua Yueying smiled faintly: "No need." After a pause, she continued: "A man who is disrespectful to women should be killed."

No one in the lobby dared to answer, and some tall and thick men lowered their heads nervously.Hua Yueying seemed to be very satisfied with her power, helped Man Chijiao on her head to distract her, and said to Liu Sanniang: "Zhu Yuege has booked more than a dozen Tianzi rooms. If you don't mind, you can live with us." Yes."

Liu Sanniang was an unknown person in the martial arts world, so she couldn't compare to Hua Yueying's status, so she agreed immediately with great gratitude.

The people from Zhuyue Pavilion left, and the guests in the lobby were finally able to breathe heavily, but they still talked with each other in a low voice, as if they were afraid of being overheard.Ji Tanyin chose a room at random, and took Xie Wufeng to rest.

Dingtao County is also suffering from drought, but the county magistrate does not withhold relief food, so the life of the people is better, and the various decorations in the inn are much more exquisite than the previous inn.I saw two mother-of-pearl beds in the house, separated by a screen, embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, soup bottles, tea boxes, etc. on the table.Xie Wufeng inspected around, nodded in satisfaction, turned around to see Ji Tanyin sitting on the pergola in a daze, and asked with a smile, "What are you thinking about?"

Ji Tanyin said honestly: "Master Huage."

Xie Wufeng raised his eyebrows, and said meaningfully: "The Master of the Pavilion of Flowers is indeed a wonderful person like flowers and jade, but he is much older than you."

Ji Tanyin gave him a blank look, bit her lips and thought for a while, then sighed: "I was thinking about the drunk who molested Liu Sanniang just now, maybe he was drinking too much and talking crazy, but he is not guilty of death. I didn't expect that Master Hua would act so viciously." ..."

"I don't think so," Xie Wufeng poured a cup of tea, sniffed it closer, and there was a little cold star in his eyes, "Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will regenerate."

After getting along for half a month, Ji Tanyin finally became suspicious of Xie Wufeng and asked: "Aren't you afraid when you saw that person die tragically just now?"

"What's so scary, he deserves what he deserves. Besides, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky."

Ji Tanyin frowned slowly, and hummed unhappily: "You are so contemptuous of life and death, I really don't know what you care about."

Xie Wufeng smiled, put down the teacup, and patted the top of his hair affectionately: "I care about you."

Ji Tanyin twisted her body to avoid his hand, her ears were bright red.
