Jianghu chaos

At the end of the dinner, it was not yet Xu time, and the sky was not too late. The stars were twinkling in the night sky, and a few stars sporadically sprinkled on the bamboo.

On the second day of February, it was the time when the night was as cool as water, and after nightfall, except for the disciples of Dou Fu who were on routine inspections, there were few people walking around in the guest house.

Mu Jiuqiu was overwhelmed with alcohol, so he didn't go back to his room after the dinner, but walked slowly along the corridor and yard, taking advantage of the cool night to sober himself up.At the banquet, the knights of the various schools were very polite when you came and I went. For people in the world, wine is indispensable, and they have to drink it. Those who drink alcohol to death, drink too much without knowing it.

After walking slowly for a while, the breath of Yelu made the drunkenness disappear a lot, but the temples still twitched, and it gave me a headache.Mu Jiuqiu couldn't help but take off half of the mask, rubbing his temples gently.

"Didn't the monk abstain from meat and alcohol? Why do you still drink?"

A voice came from behind, Mu Jiuqiu was taken aback, put on the mask and turned around: "Miss Hua?"

Hua Juyue looked him up and down for a while, then turned her face away in disgust: "Monk of wine and meat!"

Mu Jiuqiu explained in a good-tempered manner: "I'm just a disciple of Shaolin laymen, not a monk, and I haven't abstained from alcohol and meat."

"You should quit." Hua Juyue said in a bad tone, "I've already drank like this... I smell of alcohol, it stinks to death!"

Hearing this, Mu Jiuqiu subconsciously took a few steps back and distanced herself from her: "Sorry..."

"Who wants you to apologize!" Hua Juyue was even more annoyed, "I can't drink more than I do, but I'm so embarrassed to drink so much, what a waste of good wine!"

Mu Jiuqiu supported his head and smiled helplessly: "I... have worshiped Shaolin since I was young, and there is no wine in the temple. For so many years... I can count all the wine I've drank with one hand, making the young lady laugh..."

Hua Juyue took out a small medicine bottle from her waist, and stuffed it into his hand with an awkward expression: "I spend a lot of money on hangover medicine, and it will cost two taels of silver at least, which is cheap for you."

Mu Jiuqiu stared blankly at the medicine bottle for a while, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

There was a sudden silence between the two, and the lantern on the eaves of the porch swayed, and the warm yellow light reflected on half of the mask, reflecting the faint candlelight, which was a bit warm.

After a long time, Hua Juyue suddenly said: "I remember you didn't wear a mask when you were recruiting relatives, why are you wearing it now?"

Subconsciously, Mu Jiuqiu put on the mask, took another half step back, and said, "It's a crime to disturb people's vision, and it's a crime to scare people."

Hua Juyue took a step forward, and said softly: "You... take it off now, let me see, okay?"

Mu Jiuqiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "The appearance is illusory, and the appearance is empty, why bother to look."

Hua Juyue was speechless again.

Huamantang's hangover medicine was indeed effective, and Mu Jiuqiu seemed to be a little more sober. He let out a long breath, raised his face and said, "Yeliang, miss, go back to the room earlier."

Seeing him turn around to leave, Hua Juyue frowned: "Hey, are you leaving now?"

Mu Jiuqiu paused, bowed slightly, and said, "It's getting late, I shouldn't be alone with the miss for too long. It's my fault that it's my fault that I hurt the miss's reputation during the day, and I will find an opportunity to explain to my colleagues in the future, and return the miss's innocence." .”

Hua Juyue was even more angry, and her voice unconsciously became louder: "What's wrong with me, Qingyu? Why am I not innocent anymore!"

Mu Jiuqiu stopped her in a panic: "Miss, please keep your voice down!"

"Go away!" Hua Juyue shook off his hands angrily, put one hand on the two swords around her waist, turned her head and ran in the other direction, "I didn't come to look for you! Miss Ben came to look for Xie Chaohan! My surname is Xie. Where is yours? If you hear it, get out!"

Mu Jiuqiu hurriedly chased after him: "Don't be so loud... Brother Xie's room is not over there, miss, stop shouting..."

Hua Juyue suddenly turned around and drew the sword around his neck: "Tell me, where is Xie Chaohan? If you don't tell me, I'll yell!"

Mu Jiuqiu sighed deeply, helplessly: "Miss Cao arranged Brother Xie, Brother Mei, and the owner of Shangguan Village together, which should be in the east..."

"Hmph!" Hua Juyue turned around and left.

Mu Jiuqiu stroked his forehead.

The east courtyard is more secluded than other places, and it was also arranged by playing the piano to avoid disturbing Shangguan Yun and others.Mei Qian moved in for a few days earlier and was very satisfied with the arrangement. There was no noise, no yelling, and it was quiet and leisurely, compared to those heroes and villains who gathered around and flattered each other endlessly. More peace of mind... less?

There were ripples in the wine glass held in his hand, Mei Qian stared at it for a moment, and silently retracted it before expressing emotion.

Faintly, there was an extremely worrying voice.

"Thank you, Chao, Han!"

Mei Qian sighed, flicked his wide sleeve, and unsealed the acupoint in the blink of an eye.

Xie Chaohan also heard it, and murmured: "Why don't you seal it up."

Mei Qian said succinctly: "If you cause trouble, clean it up yourself."

Shangguan Yun shook his head: "It's better for me to apologize to Miss Hua..."

Mei Qian kicked Xie Chaohan out.

"Sorry..." Shangguan Yun was silent for a moment, but still followed out of the room, and met the aggressive Hua Zhuyue head-on.

"Brother Xie... Shangguan Zhuangzhu?" Mu Jiuqiu hurriedly followed, apologizing in a hurry, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Hua is just...just..."

Having just been choreographed by Mei Qian, Xie Chaohan felt very complicated when he saw Mu Jiuqiu again: "I have seen Miss Hua's temper before, why does Brother Mu always clean up the mess for this eldest lady, you are not her father... "

"Xie Chaohan, shut up!"

There was a disagreement, and the fight started.

To be precise, it was Miss Hua's unilateral beating.

Xie Chaohan's sword was still in the room, and now his hands were behind his back, he only dodged left and right with his footwork, and had no intention of fighting her.It's just that this Miss Hua has a very bad temper today, there was a trace of anger between stabbing and picking, and she was quite well-behaved at first, but after seeing that he didn't even bother to move his fingers, she gradually lost her composure and only relied on a brute force to stab Hacking, as if venting something.

"Hey, Miss Hua." Xie Chaohan felt dizzy, "Are you taking eating, sleeping and killing Xie Qi as a daily homework?"

"It's all your meddling!" Hua Juyue said angrily with a sword slashing down on her head.

Xie Chaohan sighed, turned around and said to Ruan Xi: "Seeing that there is no little fat sheep, you can't be too talkative as a human being. If you change to someone with a bad temper, this Miss Hua will die long ago."

"Bah!" Hua Juyue panted, "I can only show off my tongue..."

Xie Chaohan answered smoothly: "Miss still has some vision, not only is my tongue fast, but also my sword and body skills are faster, for example——"

Hua Juyue suddenly felt a flower in front of her eyes, and Xie Chaohan suddenly appeared behind her, with a half-bloomed winter jasmine in his hand, and gently put it on her hair.

Hua Juyue didn't appreciate it, and stabbed with a sword backhand.

"Brother Xie!" A piece of bamboo branch struck towards him swiftly, with a resounding sound, it was about to block the sword that was coming like the wind.

Xie Chaohan pointed at his eyebrows, holding the barbed dagger.

And three inches in front of him, another long sword shone coldly, barely stopping.

The lantern hanging from the eaves trembled a few times and fell to the ground. The light came from bottom to top, reflecting another figure.

The man was dressed in black and black boots, covering his whole body in the darkness, with a black scarf covering his face, revealing only a pair of unusually sharp and bright eyes.In the darkness, only the sword reflected the light in the distance, white and cold, illuminating a pair of eyes.

The man was tall and tall, with a straight back, like a sharp arrow that had just left the bow, and it was shot without a sound, and no one noticed it.

Mu Jiuqiu held a bamboo branch in front of Xie Chaohan, pointed at the man and frowned, "Who is here?"

The man sized him up and said coldly, "I'm looking for Xie Chaohan, get out of the way."

The voice was shrouded in a veil, slightly muffled and inaudible.

Could it be another victim who was injured by the "Luoying Gate"?With a flick of his finger, Xie Chaohan flicked Hua Juyue Xiaoxiao's sword aside, stopped Mu Jiuqiu with one hand, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "This brother, he was also injured by the Luoying sword technique. Come here to ask for an explanation?"

The man sneered and rushed forward first.

At the door, Shangguan Yun picked up the sword he was leaning on the table, raised his hand and threw it at Xie Chaohan: "The visitor is not kind, brother Xie be careful."

The Luoying sword was unsheathed, and the scabbard drew a cold arc, and hit the sword edge of the man in black with a clang.

At the same time, a glass of wine was knocked heavily on the table in the room, and a gust of wind swept past. Before the wine in the glass spilled out, Mei Qian had already rushed out of the room, and three golden needles were shot out at the right hand of the man. Arm points.

The man had no choice but to give up on Xie Chaohan, and used his sword to block the needles. The three golden needles hit the sword everywhere, and the strength they brought drove him back a few steps.

Xie Chaohan rolled up his sword and chased after him: "Iron Rooster, go drink your wine, I don't need your help!"

Mei Qian ignored him and jumped ahead of him. With a wave of his hand, there were several more Fengyue weaving needles.

The man seemed to have reacted, and his footwork was extremely fast, he moved away a few steps in an instant, several golden needles rubbed his clothes and nailed into the ground, but he avoided them all.

Mei Qian's eyes settled down.

Just as the man stood still, another knotted bamboo branch was inserted horizontally. Mu Jiuqiu used the bamboo as a stick, and stared at him as he swept across his lower body.

The three attacked together, but the man dodged left and right, unable to parry.

"Tsk..." Xie Chaohan stopped his hands and said regretfully, "He came to look for me, so you don't give me face."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man put away his long sword and jumped up in the air. He turned around and avoided Mu Jiuqiu's oblique attack, stepped on the bamboo branch with his toes, and then picked up the wind under his feet, and flew away.

Mei Qian didn't intend to stop there, and chased after him without saying a word.

Ruan Xi hurriedly chased him out, and when he saw this, he wanted to cheer up and chase after him, but was stopped by Shangguan Yun:

"You can't catch up."

Mu Jiuqiu harvested the bamboo branches and carefully put them back behind the bamboo fence.

"Who is that person?" Hua Juyue looked at the direction where the two disappeared, and didn't know who to ask.

Shangguan Yun pondered for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to get along with you."

Xie Chaohan nodded his head and said: "This person has good lightness kung fu, it's rare for an iron rooster to meet an opponent."

Shangguan Yun thought for a long time before slowly saying: "If I remember the lightness skill that can stand shoulder to shoulder with Ling Shuang's stepping on the snow..."

Mu Jiuqiu's eyes froze: "They still made a move?"
