Jianghu chaos

"..."

Uncharacteristically, Mei Qian stared at him blankly and remained silent for a long time.

"Senior Brother? Senior Brother!" Ruan Xi hurriedly called a few times, and suddenly found that besides herself, Mei Qian seemed to be very strange these days.

Mei Qian opened her mouth, her voice was hoarse: "What did you say?"

"Brother Xie thinks..."

"Needless to say." Mei Qian raised his hand to interrupt him, lowered his eyes and said, "Tell him to shut up, and stop making up your mind."

It seemed that it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized that Xie Chaohan really planned to lose his life.

It's not that he doesn't believe it, and he also knows that although Xie Qi said that he can run horses, this is by no means just talk, but he still didn't take it seriously-maybe it's a habit of joking with him on weekdays, forgetting that he will die.

With a sudden heartbeat, Mei Qian pressed her chest, and her whole body twitched imperceptibly.

Ruan Xi was careless and didn't notice it, and just passed on the word dutifully: "Brother Xie said, since Senior Brother and Ms. Xie are in love, even if he is not very happy, it is not good to ruin the marriage. The dowry is fine, anyway... ..." The words twitched on the edge of his mouth, and swallowed Xie Chaohan's sentence, "Anyway, iron cocks are poor and stingy, and they can't squeeze a few hairs" back, and then said, "Brother, just leave it to me. Don't worry about it."

"Shut up." Mei Qian turned around and didn't look at him anymore, "Half an inch below the neck, hit him."

Ruan shrank back.

With her hands still pressed against her chest, the strength in her palms firmly restrained her panic-stricken heart, Mei Qian held the reins, half of her body leaned against the wall of the car, her eyes followed the bumps of the horses, as if in a daze .

After that joke, Mei Qian never spoke, nor entered the carriage.

After walking for half a day, I finally arrived at Ningling. According to Hua Luan's advice, the first day should not be too hard. Fortunately, although Ningling is not big, everything in the county is well-equipped. The best inn in the county is on the side of the main street. , Mei Qiandang even pulled the carriage to a stop, planning to rest here for the night.

In addition to the passable inn, it was also because of Mei Qian's sharp eyes that he casually glanced at the door and caught a glimpse of Hua Zhuyue and Mu Jiuqiu who were waiting bored in the lobby.

"Brother Mu, Miss Hua? Didn't you guys leave early? Why are you still here?" Xie Chaohan, who had just untied the Ya acupuncture point and was helped out of the carriage by Ruan Xi, who was "very fragile", was surprised and delighted at the same time. It happened that the iron rooster had taken some wrong medicine and became a gourd with iron mouth, and Ruan Xi was also taken away. The two of them refused to say a word along the way, which made him anxious and hopeless. He only thought about Jian Ling and quickly took it. His life is at stake.

Hua Juyue cast a glance at him: "Wait for you."

Xie Chaohan was surprised: "What are you waiting for me?"

Mu Jiuqiu asked Xiaoer to serve some snacks, and explained: "Brother Shangguan entrusted the two of us to protect Brother Xie."

"There's no need for protection." Xie Chaohan watched Mu Jiuqiu reject Xiaoer's offer to serve wine, and drank tea with a sigh, "It's good to be able to walk with Brother Mu and Ms. Hua."

Mei Qian understood Shangguan Yun's intentions without thinking too much. Previously, all sects set out together, and there were so many people, so naturally they were not afraid of the hands and feet of the people in Sunset City. Yan and the others made a fuss, and many sect disciples were quite critical, and it was even harder to slow down their schedule.Although it should be enough for him and Ruan Xi to protect Xie Chaohan, but after all, today is different, Xie Qi lost his martial arts, and is determined to pay for his life, maybe Jian Ling would show his face and he would be willing to wipe his neck, two more people can always be safer.

"Anyway, I don't want to be with those people. There isn't much sincerity in what I said. It's all flattery. It's so annoying." Hua Juyue held her chin and said, "The room has been arranged, let's talk about it first. Everyone pays the rent."

Ruan Xi deserved it happily: "I pay, I pay, I pay everything!"

Mu Jiuqiu resolutely declined, refusing to live or die.

Xie Chaohan looked at Ruan Xi with a smile, groped around with one hand, took out the ancient and clumsy sword and slapped it in front of his face: "Little Sheep, this sword is for you."

Ruan Xi touched the sword: "This is from Brother Xie's family...Give it to me?"

Xie Chaohan nodded: "Debt payment."

"what?"

Xie Chaohan said solemnly: "I owe you so much money and I have to pay it back. It's a pity that I have lost all my property at Luoyingmen. I don't have anything to own right now. I only have this fancy sword. If you can make a promise with your body, you will lose everything."

Of course Ruan Xi didn't dare to ask him to make a promise with his body, holding the sword, he didn't know what to say: "But... this sword is..."

"Anyway, I don't need it." Xie Chaohan patted him on the shoulder and said casually, "The sword is given to famous men, and fragrant flowers are worn to beauties. This sword comes fairly clean. You can try to call it your hand."

Ruan Xi put away his sword and solemnly said: "Brother Xie, don't worry, I will definitely be a hero that everyone respects in the future, and I will be a hero for Xie Xie's sake."

Xie Chaohan smiled, his eyes flicked over the sword, he replaced the wine with tea, and poured a cup into his throat.

"You are clean. I have humiliated you by following me for many years. I am really sorry."

The voice was extremely low, almost a whisper, but it happened to be heard by Mei Qian.

Hua Juyue felt uncomfortable, and didn't know what to say, so she had nothing to say, and kept interrupting and urging Xiao Er to serve the food quickly.

Perhaps the small county has no business on weekdays, and the waiter is also lazy, and he can't serve a dish even after half a day. After spending a month's vacation, the reminder becomes a real reminder. Keeping a low profile, the voice suddenly turned up: "Xiaoer! Are you going to serve the food?"

"Oh, come, come, come!" The waiter was standing in front of a table of tea guests, answering with his mouth, and stopped after walking a few steps.

The guests at that table seemed to be talking about something, but they couldn't really hear it across the hall, Hua Zhuyue couldn't hold back, she got up and walked over angrily.

"...Then who is Xie Chaohan? It's been a full six years since he was 17 years old, and he has been in the rivers and lakes. He has never seen any kindness or resentment. What's more, this is his father's business. He has lost his meridians!"

"Besides, even if you are not martial arts practitioners, you can imagine one or two things? It's the seventh level of the Luoying sword that he has only learned in the world! He is the only one who has learned martial arts! Are you willing to change it? He Stupid?"

"Not to mention the owner of the Shangguan Villa, who has a deep hatred for the sea of ​​​​blood in the sunset city, and is very likely to be the future leader of the martial arts. With his friendship with Xie Chaohan, how could he allow himself to be destroyed? That was more than 20 years ago. It's over, to put it bluntly, after the Sunset City is eradicated, you can deal with the Xie family as you want, why rush?"

The audience present all echoed: "That's right! Xie Chaohan didn't abolish martial arts, no wonder he doesn't feel sorry for ruining the sword manual!"

Hua Juyue was so annoyed when he heard it: "Nonsense!"

Those people were talking excitedly, when they heard her yell in their ears, they were frightened, and when they came back to their senses, they looked back and saw that it was a young girl who was not very young, and immediately changed their expressions Looking down on people: "You little girl knows what a fart!"

"Another nymphomaniac fooled by Xie Chaohan's appearance and reputation, huh."

These two sentences were loud enough that even Xie Chaohan at the other end of the hall could hear them.

Mu Jiuqiu rushed over to stop Hua Zhuyue who was about to beat her up: "Don't be impulsive!"

Hua Juyue endured it, and pointed at the person who spoke with the sword: "Xie Chaohan's meridians were seen by all the sects with their own eyes, and Hua Mantang personally diagnosed it! Could it be that everyone is watching, why not just talk nonsense?"

"Hey, who doesn't know that the top ten sects are connected with each other? Officials still hide each other, and most of the martial arts sects are also like this. Besides, it is Hua Mantang who asserts that he has cut off his meridians. Who doesn't know that he, the second lady of Hua Mantang, loves Xie Chaohan and asks for it? No? It’s perfectly normal to hide it for Airo, don’t you think so?”

Xie Chaohan took a sip of tea, stared at the teacup and murmured: "This time I'm really looking for death."

Sure enough, Hua Juyue was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, he drew out his two swords and stabbed at him.

Mu Jiuqiu stood in front of her in a panic, lowered his voice and said, "Yue'er! Right now we are alone, if we attract people from Sunset City, wouldn't that put brother Xie in danger?"

Hua Juyue gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Mu, get out of the way, these people gossip all day long, I must teach them a lesson today! So what if the people from Sunset City come? With a few of us here, we can't beat them! "

"Yue'er, listen to me!" Mu Jiuqiu stopped her wholeheartedly, almost wrapping her in his arms, "They are just hearsay, if you confront them and reveal your identity, they will say that they are angry and angry. Isn’t it even more unclear? It’s wrong for these people to take pleasure in spreading rumors, but if you hurt them, it will be Hua Mantang bullying ordinary people who are unarmed, which will be criticized by others!”

Hua Juyue was angry: "I'm still spoiling them!"

Mu Jiuqiu pulled her behind and bowed his hands to those people to apologize: "I'm sorry, everyone, sister She has listened to anecdotes since she was a child, and she yearns for heroes and heroes. What some of you said is very different from what we know, sister She I was agitated for a while, please forgive me."

The faces of those people were clear: "Is it a child who grew up listening to the stories of Xie Chaohan's Wanli Xingxia? Hey, let alone this little girl's family, we couldn't believe it when we first heard it! I don’t know many examples, who would have thought that his father was such a person? But it is his father’s business after all, and he didn’t do it, so it doesn’t matter if he retains his martial arts, don’t you think so?”

Mu Jiuqiu tightly blocked Hua Juyue who was about to rush out, and bowed politely: "The news about the two of us is late, which makes you laugh. It's just that there is one thing I don't know. I heard that only high-ranking disciples from various sects were present at the martial arts conference. This person doesn't seem to be a martial artist, where did he get this inside information?"

The man was dissatisfied: "Why, do you suspect that we can't tell lies?"

Mu Jiuqiu said neither humble nor overbearing: "I dare not, I am just curious. After all, I have heard too many stories along the way, and I can't tell the truth from the false."

"Of course it was reported by the chivalrous men who participated in the meeting!" The man said nonchalantly, "It's just that you are still not interested in being an insider. The whole world has known about this for a long time! We also heard about it from Xijiao Tea House Yuan Mister said."

Behind him, Hua Juyue narrowed her eyes: "Mr. Yuan?"
