"Jiu'er girl, this is the North Stack, please come in~"

Zitang heard the voice of the ceremonial master through the door, and as soon as he came out from behind the counter, the door was pushed open, and the ceremonial master's bitter and hateful face was full of smiles, and he was very attentive in guiding the way. The master of ceremonies welcomed in was a charming woman, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and her long hair scattered casually, but fortunately it did not look messy. The woman put away the paper umbrella in her hand and threw it into the big bamboo basket behind her casually, as if she thought the neck of the cloak bundle was uncomfortable, and she also untied it, shook the snowflakes on it at the door, and threw it into the bamboo basket with her backhand. The bright red robe is very gorgeous, and the plain belt that binds the middle coat is covered with red marks, as if it was specially made with bright red dye, which matches the fiery red of the whole body and looks chic.

"Master Lishi is here~" Zitang beckoned.

"Let me introduce, this is the shopkeeper of the Yibei Inn, this is the Jiu'er girl, and she is a guest who has just entered the city today. After the master finished speaking, he said to Zitang again, "I'm tired of Zitang girl to prepare a side room~"

Listening to the introduction of the master of etiquette, the woman in red, known as Jiu'er, smiled lightly at Zitang, and said hello.

Zitang subconsciously tilted her head, she felt that the woman in red was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it. I have been doing this inn for many years, and I am ushering in the work to be sent, and I am extremely sensitive and careful to the people who come and go, how can such an outstanding-looking woman not have any impression at all?

"Candy girl?" the master of ceremonies called to her again.

"What?"

"I'm tired of preparing a room for this nine-child girl. The Master of Rites repeated good-naturedly.

"Yes, yes, please wait. Zitang knew that he had lost his demeanor just now, so he hurriedly asked someone to lead the master and Jiu'er upstairs.

Watching the red clothes walk away, Zitang thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped her forehead and scolded herself for being stupid, she finally remembered, although she couldn't remember half a point about this beauty, but she had an impression of this big bamboo basket.

"This is the best inn in the city, and the talented girl is the shopkeeper here, she is very good, if you need anything, just talk to her. The master of ceremonies followed the little servant upstairs, and there was no time to spare along the way.

"Okay, thank you. Entering the door, Jiu'er walked around the room, looking quite satisfied.

"The color of Jiu'er girl's cloak is very beautiful, and it matches this long sword very well~" The master poured tea and praised it.

He is good at doing the work of a merchant, and he is still good at pulling topics and chatting with people.

"But it's just a casual purchase in the market, it's not a rare object, if you like it, then take it~" As he spoke, he took out the silver brocade cloak from the bamboo basket, unfolded it and folded it twice before handing it over.

"No, no, no, it's so precious that you can't do it," Jiu'er suddenly heard Jiu'er's reply, and hurriedly explained, he originally wanted to casually mention the matter of the long sword, but he didn't think about it but was mistaken.

"Childe take it, don't be polite to me~" Jiu'er was very generous, sat down at the table, and stuffed the cloak over, and his tone could not be refused.

"Ahem, then, then thank you girl for the gift..."The master laughed embarrassedly, and he didn't know where to put the cloak when he took it, so he could only temporarily place it on his lap first.

"Don't be polite, I got the care of my son when I first entered the city today, and I may have trouble with you in the future, what can this little gift be counted?" Jiu'er sat down and took the tea pushed by the celebrant, as if he was thirsty, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a wave of his sleeve.

"It's just a little thing, don't take it to heart, if you need anything in the future, you can always tell me, Hu will do his best to help," Seeing that her behavior is extremely polite, but some small actions look very different from ordinary girls, where will the girl's family have the water stains on the corners of her lips that wipe off the sleeves of her clothes?

"Don't hide it, I came here to find my life-saving benefactor. Jiu'er sat on the brocade stool, clasped her hands on the table, and said with a serious expression.

"Oh, I don't know what the name of the girl's life-saving benefactor is, but if he is from the north of mine, I should be able to help. Hearing that Jiu'er said that he was here to find someone, the master was faintly happy in his heart, if he could help and get a favor, then it would be much easier to borrow a sword.

"But is Gongzi Hu serious?" Jiu'er stood up and curtsied to the master of ceremonies, and his speed of speech was obviously much faster, "I know what I know, his name is Chi Xiaoming." ”

Hearing Jiu'er's words, the etiquette master's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at her a few times strangely, and his tone was not as warm as just now, "Girl, do you have a mistake?"

"How can I be mistaken, I came here to find him, but Childe knows?" Jiu'er stood up straight and asked eagerly.

The master didn't know how to answer, but when he saw Jiu'er approaching, he pressed closer to the back of the chair without a trace, coughed twice in embarrassment, and raised his hand to separate the distance between the two.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was abrupt, Chi Xiaoming saved my life, gave me a great favor, and I saw the appearance of Hu Gongzi, but I knew him?!" Fang Cai unconsciously got too close when he was emotional, and only realized after being signaled by the master of ceremonies.

"I know him," the master pondered for a moment before he could reply.

"But really, how is he now?"

"He's not good..."

The Lishi was a philistine man from a prominent family.

A long time ago, the Hu clan was on an equal footing with the Chi clan in the other north, and each held half of the sky in the other north. If you talk about it seriously, in fact, the Hu family is the big family in charge of the other north, if there is no change, the current lord of the other north should also be surnamed Hu.

Before the Hu clan entered the Beibei City, it was a big force entrenched in the east, and the way of cultivating immortals, the name of the Hu clan could also be ranked in the entire immortal cultivation world. According to rumors, the ancestors of the Hu family got a great secret report, and within one night, they moved north with all their descendants, abandoning all the foreign affiliated families.

The Hu clan entered the northern land one step later than the Chi clan, but the time when the Hu clan entered the Five Weeks Gate was nearly 10,000 years earlier than the Chi clan. Although the elder has not been heard from since, whether it is within the Hu clan or outside the Hu clan, everyone firmly believes that he has a great opportunity, and when he returns, his cultivation will definitely be comparable to that of a very human being, and it is not impossible for him to soar directly.

This incident quickly increased the prestige and power of the Hu clan in the city, and the Hu clan gained a thousand years of prosperity, and then, began to gradually decline step by step, the number of people in the clan became fewer and fewer, and the size of the situation was endless, and the Hu clan finally had no time to take care of others, so they had to cede power to the Chi clan and abdicate to do business to maintain the survival of the clan.

The Hu clan has passed cautiously from generation to generation, and in his generation, this well-known immortal cultivation family can be regarded as officially declining.

Lisheng is timid and cowardly by nature, he is accustomed to a contented and happy idle life, although there are often people who tease him openly or secretly for being a useless waste, but he is used to these words after listening to them a lot, his parents are gone early, and the temperament of his ancestors, he seems to have not learned half of it.

Rao is a cowardly and stupid philistine waste like Master Lishi, and he knows not to talk nonsense in the face of important issues. Why did this woman named Jiu'er appear outside the gate of Yibei City with the long sword that she had been looking for for a long time when the deadline was approaching? Why did she come by name to find the city lord Chi Xiaoming? Is there such a coincidence? He didn't believe it.

He rarely kept a heart.

The master was silent for a long time, and finally stood up, and said with a solemn expression: "I'll just say it directly, Chi Xiaoming was seriously injured, and he is still unconscious, I got a master's guidance, and I want to find a silver sword in the city and hand it to him, so that I may be able to exchange for the opportunity to save him, and the sword that the master asked me to find is this one in your hand." ”

Hearing Master Lili say this, Jiu'er was a little surprised, and then replied very simply, "No problem, if you can save him, what about a sword?"

The subtle expression on Jiu'er's face was carefully examined by the master of rites, and it seemed that he couldn't find anything wrong, the master shook his head, and said, "I am alone in this matter, if I rashly bring outsiders forward, I am afraid that I will only offend the masters." And I want to tell you first, girl, what I said is that maybe you can get the chance to save him, or maybe you can't, do you understand, this matter is just a try, I don't know the result, do you want to give it back?"

"Why don't you want to, you take it, go quickly. Without hesitation, Jiu'er stuffed the long sword into the arms of the master of ceremonies and said.

"Alright, the girl will go downstairs with me, and you will wait for me in the hall of the North Inn, so that I can come back with news and look for you. The master took the sword and nodded.

The two went downstairs together, Jiu'er sat down in the small hall of the Yibei Inn, and the master of ceremonies and Zitang said a few words, and asked people to give tea and fruit snacks and left.

Zitang brought a basket with red charcoal from behind the counter, sat down beside her, put the basket closer to Jiu'er, and said with a smile, "It's freezing in the north of the world, and the girl doesn't wear much, so let's warm it up first." ”

"Thank you. Jiu'er replied in a daze.

"The girl's face is not very good, but what happened?" said to himself in a low voice before leaving, asking the help to keep an eye on her, Zitang only responded and did not say anything else. There are many things, it's better to not know than to know, and Zitang is just a casual chatter and a casual question.

"It's not a big deal, Miss Lao bothered. Jiu'er picked up the teacup and replied in a low voice.

"The girl has worked hard all the way, I just saw that you were carrying that tall bamboo basket, which looked not light. Zitang took the knife on the plate and peeled a fresh fruit.

"The bamboo basket was bought when I passed by the market when I went north, and it was a good craft, strong and light, not heavy," Jiu'er replied, "If the girl likes it, I will give it to the girl." ”

"You don't have to, I don't have to go far away, where can I use it, just mention it," Zitang handed the peeled fruit to Jiu'er and said with a smile, "I understand the girl's beauty, but this bamboo basket reminds me of a guest who stayed in my store not long ago." ”
