Jianghu chaos

Ruan Xi found Hua Zhuyue who was sitting on the stone steps in annoyance without much effort. Hall Master Hua Luan was busy making friends with heroes from all walks of life, leaving her sighing in ecstasy, even Xie Chaohan stood behind her for a long time. Never found out.

Seeing that Xie Chaohan was silent, Ruan Xi didn't dare to make any noise, so he approached cautiously, stood next to Xie Chaohan with the medicine bag in his hand, and asked with his eyes.

Xie Chaohan cleared his throat.

Hua Juyue jumped up in fright, and when she turned her head to see Xie Chaohan, who was laughing silently behind him, he was even more angry when he thought of finding the prescription with great difficulty, but the only medicinal materials were in his hands : "What are you doing there? Sneaking around!"

Xie Chaohan smiled and said: "The humble house is too small, I came here after just wandering around, Miss, don't take offense, I'm very kind, I see that Miss is waiting here because of something on her mind, don't dare to disturb her."

The implication is that he has watched a good show here for a long time, and he is going to continue watching.Hua Juyue blushed: "You..."

"I heard that the lady is looking for something, and I just got a generous gift. I don't know if it's what the lady needs?"

The brocade box is opened, and the delicate calendula in the center glows softly under the warm sunshine.

Hua Juyue was stunned: "Calendula? What do you mean?"

Xie Chaohan rubbed his nose and said, "I'm going to be strong and healthy. I don't need this peerless medicinal material. After thinking twice, I'd better send it back to Miss. Thank you Qixin for taking it with all my heart."

It’s really crossing the river and meeting the ferryman sleeping and someone gave him a pillow. It was half an accident and half a pleasant surprise. He stretched out his hand to catch him and looked him up and down, but he refused to admit the act of giving charcoal in the snow. He raised his neck and said proudly: "Xie Qigong accepted the gift and returned it, but I spent a lot of time on the ceremony, did I despise the Luoyingmen?"

Xie Chaohan understood that if Miss Ruohua took back what she had given away, it would be hard to explain if the Hall Master Hua saw it. She was waiting for a step to go down the donkey, and took back the Marigold Lily in a legitimate way.

Hua Juyue blinked her eyes, with anticipation in her eyes, waiting for his next words.

However, Xie Chaohan had no intention of haggling with her, and was about to open his mouth to give her a favor, but Ruan Xi stepped forward and blocked the brocade box: "Miss Hua is right, since Huamantang has sent the marigold lotus to Luoyingmen , there is really no reason to return it. We will accept this marigold flower."

Baba's sight towards Marigold Lotus was cut off, seeing the brocade box closed again, Hua Zhuyue never expected him to come here, opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Xie Chaohan frowned slightly: "Brother Ruan, this is a private matter between me and Miss Xie, you don't have to."

Ruan Xi didn't back away, took out the medicine bag in his arms and offered it: "The so-called reciprocity, these calendula lotus petals are used as an apology from Luoyingmen, please accept it with a smile."

In the medicine bag, the precious calendula petals were randomly stuffed, but it can be seen that it is a rare thing that has been carefully processed and can be used as medicine at any time. It is even more precious than the whole plant of calendula that Hua Luan sent. .

Hua Juyue stared blankly at the medicine sachet, her ears blushed belatedly.It's not that she doesn't know what Ruan Xi's move means, it's just to resolve the grievances between her and Xie Chaohan-in fact, speaking of it, it's not a grievance at all, it's just venting...

Ruan Xi didn't wait for her to hesitate, and eagerly handed it over and over again, but Xie Chaohan stuffed the brocade box back into her arms before she reached out, and pulled Ruan Xi behind him: "Mr. Ruan is a guest. There is no reason to ask customers to pay for it. Besides, I really don’t need this calendula plant, Miss Hua, please take it back, otherwise, I can only go to Brother Mu.”

Hua Juyue was startled, and her face flushed red: "What does this have to do with him! Don't talk nonsense, I just learned a recipe from a book and I just want to practice my hand, and I don't have to find him! "

Xie Chaohan nodded solemnly and pulled Ruan Xi away: "Then miss, let's practice slowly, no matter how hard you toss about this whole calendula plant, it should be enough. But miss, don't be so impetuous as you are now when decocting medicine. It's fine to quarrel on weekdays, but this medicine will be taken into the stomach, miss, please don't mess around." The last few words gradually softened, as light as a smile after holding back the laughter.

It is absolutely unbearable for a doctor to be questioned about his medical skills, and the goodwill he had built up with great difficulty disappeared immediately. Hua Juyue gave him a vicious look, shoved the brocade box back, and turned to ask Ruan Xi for a few air-dried petals. Carefully ran away without looking back.

Xie Chaohan rubbed his nose, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Miss Hua, is she angry again? I just kindly reminded her to be careful not to waste medicine. Why did she change her face and look like a flip book?"

Ruan Xi also felt that it made sense, but couldn't think of a clue, so he simply put aside his doubts and put the medicine bag close to his body.

Xie Chaohan casually tossed the brocade box to him: "You returned the gift for me, and I can't be stingy at Luoyingmen. Although you don't care about this marigold lotus, it is still a good medicine for strengthening your body. You can pass the letter back home Ask, maybe there is any prescription that can help you improve your martial arts."

Even though he knew he was joking, Ruan Xi couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the four characters of martial arts: "When will I be able to become a master like senior brother Xie..."

"How can it be so easy for a master?" Xie Chaohan walked ahead, with a smile on his face, but his words were a little more serious, "Practice in winter and summer, and I dare not slack off since I was a child. Martial arts practitioners, whose ability has not been honed over the years? To become a master like Mei Jiu, you have to work as hard as he did back then."

Ruan Xi felt something in his heart, and followed his gaze to the disciples who were practicing martial arts in the distance beside the wooden stakes. The intermittent sound of martial arts made him stand upright like a pine tree, and the rustling branches and leaves finally outlined the appearance that a famous senior brother should have.

However, this appearance was quickly shattered by Xie Qi himself. Until the opening of the promotion meeting, Ruan Xi never saw the famous knight who was indifferent, dignified, and sincere in his words under the slanting sunlight that day.

Like Doufu Fort, the opening ceremony of the promotion conference was also chosen in the Martial Arts Field in Paizhong. Perhaps among these Jianghu sects, the only place that can accommodate the gathering of people from all over the world is the Martial Arts Field.

It was not the first time for all the people present to participate in the conference, and each of them found a place to sit in the familiar way, and the knights who were about to compete also set aside a special area for you to discuss and watch the battle according to the order of the nameplates.Compared with the first time when Caoqin presided over it, this time Master Xiemen was in charge, everything was in order, and even the whispers were much less.

Master Xiemen was very satisfied. Since entering the arena, he had put on a fierce face of not moving, and killing anyone who moved. The Wulin League, which is still in its infancy, will soon be encircled and suppressed outside the city.

Sitting next to the sect master was Xie Chaohan who was carefree and carefree.The completely different appearances of the father and son made everyone present even more curious about how the promotion conference will start.

Just as he was guessing, there was a loud shout, and with many responses, he walked towards the ring step by step in an orderly manner.

Ruan Xi couldn't help stretching his neck, and saw about twenty disciples coming from the entrance. As more and more people passed through the entrance, what was hidden behind them was gradually exposed in front of them——

It was a huge wine jar, carried by 16 people from front, back, left, and right, and marched tremblingly into the field step by step.The top of the vat was tightly sealed by the lid, not a gleam of light could see through, not to mention the condition inside, but even the smell could not be smelled at all.

Master Xie had already stood up, and when the vat landed in the middle of the martial arts arena with a bang, he also walked down from the high platform step by step until he walked in front of the vat.

The disciple beside him handed over the sword, Xie door master made a sword move Xuxu, the sword energy vibrated to open the mud seal, the wooden cover wrapped in yellow mud shook loosely and revealed a gap, the smell of wine that had been dusty for a long time suddenly Ruan Xixun, who stretched his neck to watch the excitement, was so drunk that he slapped him back on his seat.

Everyone at the scene changed their colors in unison, and some even exclaimed: "This, this... is this the rumored three bowls of Baihuajiu that you can't forget after drinking it for a year??"

Three bowls drunk for a year?Ruan Xi sniffled and became more curious.

After breaking the mud seal, door master Xie took a few steps back, turned around and returned to his seat with a solemn face, but Xie Chaohan got up, straightened his clothes slowly, and walked down the stage step by step.Walking in front of the vat, Xie Chaohan took a deep breath, the corners of his eyes and brows were full of undisguised intoxication, and everyone swallowed their saliva unconsciously, looking forward to it even more.

Xie Chaohan raised his palm, stroked the heavy lid and pushed it lightly, the wooden lid covered with thick mud fell to the ground with a bang, leaving only a layer of oil paper full of yellow mud on the mouth of the wine jar.Xie Chaohan took a look at the people who were waiting to be fed, brushed his wide sleeves, and uncovered the greased paper at once.

The strong smell of wine wafted for thousands of miles in an instant, covering the entire martial arts arena like a thick fog and covering everyone in it.

Anyone who loves wine, how can he still be the master at this moment!Everyone salivated and stared at the wine tank eagerly, just waiting for a good wine to die without regret.

The disciples around him handed over the wine hanger.

Xie Chaohan took it, rolled up his cuffs to his elbows, put down the wine and drank the first bowl of wine.

Its color is clear, its taste is mellow, mixed with the fragrance of hundreds of flowers, and the bitterness of winter snow, just looking at it from a distance and smelling it will make you feel itchy.

Everyone in Doufubao shared a piece of almond tofu before, so Luoyingmen should not be at a disadvantage?Don't dare to ask for three bowls to be drunk for a year, only one bowl, one bowl is enough!

However, Luoyingmen is not so generous.The Jiu Diaozi rose and fell unhurriedly, and the pottery bowls were opened and filled one by one, and were sent to the heads or heirs of the various sects.Except for the leaders of these sects, the rest, even the chivalrous men participating in the competition, have no chance of getting a first rank.

Not even Mei Qian and Ruan Xi.

The wine bowl dangled in front of her eyes for a week, but her hand was always empty. Mei Qian watched Xie Chaohan put down the wine hanging and re-covered the oiled paper. The sense of sadness and resentment of abandonment at the end of the chaos is really... hard to appease...

In the arena, as expected, there was commotion.

"That's too stingy... Don't you have a bowl?"

Some people couldn't hold back and started whispering.

Xie Chaohan seemed to hear it, straightened his cuffs and said innocently: "Everyone, it's not that the Luoyingmen is neglecting the distinguished guests. It's really not easy to brew a hundred flowers. There are only a few jars a year. If there are a bowl of monks, there are too many monks and the porridge is not enough. Please forgive me."
