Verse 3: There are people in the shadows

Yu Meng hurriedly handed over the sword in his right hand and stopped the man with a horizontal sword, the man leaned back and screamed, but the basin came out of his hand and fell down. Mo Junyan hurriedly stretched out his left hand to catch it, but the basin was made of copper, and the water was quite hot, so he couldn't help but burn his hand naturally.

He hurriedly snatched out his right hand, and his four fingers and thumbs firmly clasped the rim of the basin, no longer swaying. When he grabbed it, he unconsciously used the grappling hand taught by Shi Xian. Yu Meng breathed a sigh of relief, if it weren't for Mo Junyan holding the copper basin, even if he could hit it open, he would inevitably be splashed wet by the hot water.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the little one accidentally ......" The little guy was terrified, he was stopped by Yu Mengyi, he had fallen, but he didn't dare to get up. Yu Meng glanced at him, slightly annoyed, and asked, "Who asked you to bring the water?" The man snorted: "Yes, yes, yes......" He looked at Mo Junyan, his eyes were full of begging.

"I asked him to bring it up. Mo Junyan helped the man up, and said, "I was going to let you wash your wounds again, but who knew that you were in a hurry to leave." Yu Meng snorted: "The wound has already healed, what else is there to wash...... Although it is water, if it splashes her, it is extremely indecent, she will be furious.

Mo Junyan pinched the sweat for this little guy, gave him the water, and hurriedly said, "This hot water is not needed now, you can bring it back." The little guy looked at Yu Meng, not daring to move. Yu Meng closed his eyes, gently patted his heart three times, and smiled slightly after opening his eyes: "Okay, I'm fine, you can go." ”

The little two were like being pardoned, and they made a quick move. Mo Junyan stood still for a moment, Yu Meng had already walked up to him and asked, "Why did you apologize for him?" I know you didn't ask for water at all. Mo Junyan nodded and whispered to Yu Meng: "Didn't you find this person very strange?"

"Is it a little strange?" she paused and came to her senses: "Someone is spying on us?" Mo Junyan shook his head and said, "It's not like it?" Yu Meng was puzzled: "How do you know?" "I just helped him, and he really doesn't know any martial arts." He explained: "Those people in black are very strong in martial arts, if they really want to spy on the two of us, how can they send a little guy who doesn't know martial arts?"

Yu Meng was even more strange when he heard this: "Then how should this be explained?" Mo Junyan shook his head and smiled: "I don't know." But I'm very strange, Shizi, why didn't you lose your temper unexpectedly today?" Yu Meng snorted lightly and said leisurely: "What he took was just hot water, and it wasn't dirty for washing his feet." And he doesn't seem to have intentions. Otherwise, hum, don't knock him well!" she raised her right wrist and shook it, the corners of her mouth curled slightly, and Mo Junyan laughed.

Yu Meng suddenly said: "Besides, the grab you just now is so handsome, could it be that Shi Shuai passed on your grappling?" Mo Junyan nodded. Yu Meng looked sly and continued: "It's really amazing, I think the junior brother has already mastered this grappler, and the senior sister is afraid that it is not your opponent." Mo Junyan's cheeks flushed, and he hurriedly said: "The ten mysteries can't be, I am a beginner, how can I talk about it, senior sister said and laughed." He knew that Yu Meng usually called himself Xiaojun, but when he joked, he would call him junior brother, which was ridiculed, and what he said was: "I have newly learned martial arts, and I am handsome in front of my senior sister?"

The two of them walked out of the inn and walked a few hundred meters, Mo Junyan's mind had turned a few times, and he returned to the time when he first saw Shi Xian. At that time, he had already realized that the conversation between Yang Muyun and Shi Xian seemed to indicate that today, Shi Xian seemed to have made the worst plan.

But what Mo Junyan couldn't understand was why the master said such a sentence at the time: "Shi Shuai knows the situation very well, but there is no way to retreat, either because he is not wise, but because he is not strong." There is only one sentence in the poor way, you must know, 'Victory is defeat, defeat is also victory, victory and defeat are not divided, it all depends on one's own actions.'" Even if Shi Xian is in an important position in the imperial court, there is indeed no way to retreat, then in the last sentence, victory is defeat, defeat is also victory, victory or defeat is nothing, it all depends on oneself. What does that mean? Why did he say that, Master?

He was contemplating and turning a blind eye to everything he had passed, but Yu Meng was not like this. Although she is nearly nineteen years old, this girl is still playful and willful, and she has lived in Kunlun in the Western Regions for a long time, and rarely enters the Central Plains. This time, Yang Muyun took Mo Junyan down the mountain, and did not let her accompany her, at first Yu Meng was already unwilling, and she was clamoring to follow, but she didn't dare to really disobey her teacher's orders. After Yang Muyun returned to the mountain, Yu Meng learned that Mo Junyan stayed in Shixian to practice martial arts, and his mind was even more unbearable, so he shouted that the master was eccentric, soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally Yang Muyun reluctantly agreed. After going down the mountain, she thought about the little junior brother, so she quickly whipped up her horse and asked all the way, and there were few stops on the way, and it was not enjoyable. This time I walked west, I looked around, pulled Mo Junyan to look here, and looked at that, like a little girl who had never seen the world and was too young.

At that time, more than 100 years had passed since the defense of Beijing, and the city of Beijing had already regained its former prosperity: carved beams and painted buildings could be seen everywhere, flowers and horses were lightly furbed, and the left and right four-dimensional streets and alleys and ditches were clearly divided horizontally and vertically. Most of the buildings in the city are in the Song style, the scale is grand, and the weather is majestic, even if Mo Junyan and others do not know this, they are also amazed in their hearts.

"Xiaojun, let's go over there and have a look, quick!" Yu Meng dragged Mo Junyan and pointed with his right hand towards the east. Mo Junyan looked at it, frowned, and said, "It's not okay, the market over there is too lively, let's walk the alley ......" "Hey, there are so many alleys in Beijing, I'll see what you do when you walk into a dead end!" Yu Meng didn't follow, Mo Junyan was pulled by her a few steps, so he had to say with a straight face: "Shi Zi, we still have business!" Yu Mengxiu blinked, and said with a smile: "Are we going to do business?" Could it be that you still want to go back, Xiaojun?"

Mo Junyan had no intention of arguing with her at the moment, and felt that what she said was not unreasonable, so he had to nod. Yu Meng's eyebrows were overjoyed, and he took the lead in lightness, Mo Junyan shook his head and smiled slightly: "I, a master, look like a little junior sister." I really can't help her. Thinking so, he followed.

Soon after the two left, a figure slowly flashed out below the wine shop, in a light white and blue striped dress, twisting his beard and sneering slightly.

Two hours had passed, and the sun had turned westward. Mo and Yu were already after noon when they left the store, and they went to the market for half a day, stopping on the road before they arrived at Guo outside Beijing. A long loess road with emerald trees on both sides, but none of them are very tall. Facing the sun, there was a slight wind.

Mo Junyan walked in front, his hands behind his back, and his expression was puffed up. Yu Meng stepped forward quickly and said with a grin: "Xiaojun, don't be angry, how do you know that there are no stables in that city!" Mo Junyan turned his head and ignored her. Yu Meng had no choice but to smile and say, "Good junior brother, isn't it okay for Shi Zi to make a compensatory loss to you?" Mo Junyan stopped, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, her expression was quite twisted, and she couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Shi Zi, Jun Yan doesn't blame you for choosing the market, but, but your ......."

Yu Meng raised his head slightly, and said with a little shyness: "I know, you blame me for buying this and that along the way, and stopping and stopping, delaying for a while, right?" Mo Junyan saw her say this, and he didn't blame him anymore, so he just said: "Just don't do this in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, Shi Zi will listen to your persuasion in the future. She suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Uh, next time, go shopping a little more, not as long as today, heh, yes, shouldn't it be too much?" she blinked as she spoke, Mo Junyan slapped her forehead when she heard this, and said with a sad face: "No, there will be a next time?"

Yu Meng uncovered the burden with one hand, and said while watching: "Hey, who knows that there are so many beautiful things on the street, and there are no on the mountain, and the master didn't bring some ...... to people when he went down the mountain" Her voice gradually lowered, took out a jade hairpin, rushed to Mo Junyan, inserted the jade hairpin into her hair, and smiled at him: "What's the matter?"

Girls naturally like to dress up themselves, not to mention a girl like Yu Meng who is in the age of cardamom? Usually she only knows how to practice swords, at most she can only change her hairstyle, and most of them just simply tie up her hair. Yu Meng was born a beauty embryo, but above Kunlun, Yang Muyun and other older generations are old, and they look at beauty very lightly, and they are noncommittal. For example, in Mo Junyan's generation, the older people roamed the rivers and lakes, and most of them left the mountains, and the younger ones did not know about it. Even though there are some female disciples, they are mainly engaged in practice, and they are rarely more beautiful. Out of sight is pure, but once they see those beautiful hair accessories and exquisite clothes, they can't help but want to dress themselves up.

Yu Meng's green silk poured like flowing water, and there was only a silver hairpin on it, and at this time, there was an extra jade hairpin, which added more color. When Mo Junyan saw it, he couldn't help but secretly applaud, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, only said: "So-so!"

Yu Meng saw his face, his mouth bulged, snorted, pulled out the hairpin fiercely, and threw it into the bag. Mo Junyan couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw that he was upsetting her, so he hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Ha, I said something wrong. Yu Meng glanced sideways at him, and asked in half annoyance, "What did you say wrong?" He took out the jade hairpin, put it on her, and said with a smile: "One word, very beautiful!"

Women are the ones who please themselves. Sure enough, "Hehe, those are two words, fool!" Yu Mengyan smiled. She took off the jade hairpin again and put it in the baggage. Mo Junyan exhaled and looked into the distance, his eyes were quite gloomy. Yu Meng knew what he was thinking, and he felt slightly apologetic in his heart, bit his lip, and persuaded: "Don't worry, Shi Shuai is strong in martial arts, maybe he escaped?" Mo Junyan pulled the package on his shoulder and sighed: "I hope so......"

"There should be a post house after a little further walk, let's get two horses!" Yu Meng proposed. "Not very good?" Mo Junyan hesitated slightly, corrupt officials are everywhere, he is not afraid of offending the government, but he has caused this trouble, and it will be bad to delay the trip.

"Well, it's a big deal. Yu Mengbian flattened his mouth, Mo Junyan didn't speak, he knew that Yu Mengshi had spent a lot of money, even if the post house was really willing to trade, the money on his body might not be enough for the price of two good horses, if it was added, it would be impossible to talk about. This Yu Meng naturally knew it, and she immediately pointed to the burden, pretending to sigh and said, "Well, it's a big deal to give them all this!" Mo Junyan knew that she was reluctant, and opened the topic and said, "Let's go and see it first." ”

"Hehe, the girl in front, please stay, are you two looking for horses?" The voice came from behind, and the two looked back, and a Taoist led two tall horses to walk slowly.

The Taoist man looked to be in his thirties, with two mustaches on his lips, a high crown on his head, a light white and blue striped Taoist robe, and a backpack on his back.

Yu Meng replied: "Yes, Daoist, can you sell us these two horses?" The Taoist priest smiled slightly: "This is easy to say, but the two of them are in such a hurry, so what's the matter?" The Taoist priest said, his eyes glanced at Yu Meng's chest and neck from time to time, Yu Meng noticed it, and felt slightly unhappy: "This dead cow's nose, what a thief's eyes!" But she asked for help, and it was inconvenient to turn her face and scold.

Mo Junyan arched his hand and said: "Dao Chief, the next two of them were entrusted by a friend to report the news, so they urgently need a fast horse, I don't know if the chief can cut love?"

The Taoist priest smiled: "It's easy to say." That, when the poor Dao saw the two of them, they fell in love with each other, and they should help each other!" Yu Meng secretly sneered: "Who is with your round head and square head, your eyes are very annoying!" Mo Junyan thanked again and again. The Taoist said again: "Uh, hehe, poor Dao sees this girl......" He turned to Yu Meng, "It seems that the qualifications are not low, poor Dao wants to accept him as a disciple......" Before he finished speaking, Yu Meng had already rushed to say: "No, I don't want it!"

The Taoist was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Since the girl is unwilling, it is inconvenient for the poor Dao to be strong, but the girl must not regret it!" Yu Mengxin said: "Hey, the ghost regrets coming, I have a master who hurts, who cares about you, this thief eye!" Mo Junyan also found out, this person's eyes were always patrolling Yu Meng, and he had a strange feeling, pulled Yu Meng, and said in a low voice: "This person seems to have bad intentions, let's go quickly!" Yu Meng nodded.

When the Taoist saw the two of them turn around and leave, he shouted, "Why did the two of you go?" The two ignored them, and the Taoist walked in a hurry, and in a few steps, he was in front of him in an instant! The two of them were shocked, this light skill is really rare in the world!
