Chapter 39: A Trip to Gaofu
"Hey, this girl is a cowardly ....... Everyone laughed.
Looking at the poor but simple and kind people in front of him, Long Xingyu's heart warmed, he hugged his fists and looked down at everyone gratefully:
"Thank you for taking care of my family Jiu'er these days. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the Red Sleeves Inn and find me Long Xingyu. ”
"Hey, Gongzi is polite, it's just that these things happened today, I'm afraid that the high mansion will not be forgiven. ”
"Yes, yes, Childe should be more careful in the future!"
"Brother Xingyu, what everyone said is not unreasonable, this Gao Mansion ....... ”
"Don't worry, brother has already figured out a way. Long Xingyu looked at the direction of Gaofu near the north gate in the distance, and said confidently.
"Brother Xingyu, quickly explain your intention to Grandpa Zhou. Li Jiu'er pulled the corner of Long Xingyu's clothes again and reminded softly.
Long Xingyu smiled slightly.
"Uncle Zhou, I don't know if you and Grandma He are willing to go to my Red Sleeves Inn to help, take care of food and housing, and have twenty taels of silver every month." Long Xingyu hugged his fists and said to Zhou Laohan.
"What a good errand!"
"Yes, go, go, old man Zhou. Everyone next to him cast envious eyes.
"It's ....... Zhou Laohan thought that he couldn't help much at his age, and it was a great favor to have a place to live and a place to eat, and besides, he still had money to take, so he hesitated for a while.
"Go, go, grandpa. Li Jiu'er said coquettishly.
Long Xingyu looked at Li Jiu'er and couldn't help but secretly think, when did this girl become so coquettish?
Li Jiu'er doesn't care. What she thought of was that the senior brother had found it anyway, and with the protection of the senior brother in front of her, she could finally be coquettish if she had the capital.
"Alas, Aunt He?" Old Man Zhou looked at Aunt He.
"Well, I said, you old man, what do you think I'm doing? I'm going anyway. ”
"Then my old man will go too. As for this money, our old man is useless, so he won't accept it. Zhou Laohan touched his beard happily.
Everyone laughed, and Li Jiu'er led everyone to the Red Sleeve Inn.
The Red Sleeves Inn has been taken care of by everyone, and it is once again thriving in business.
This Tang Yue can't do anything else, this management of the inn is the first way, and it is orderly.
The inn operates during the day and closes at night when it gets dark, which is Long Xingyu's rule, so that everyone has some spare time to do something else.
Gu Dahai and Tang Yue have the same smell, Gu Dahai has nothing to teach Tang Yue some ways to get angry, and Tang Yue teaches Gu Dahai some drinks and food recipes, saying that they are food recipes, most of which are carried by Tang Yue from the previous world.
In the evening, after resting, Long Xingyu watched everyone in the courtyard chatting with each other, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought again, it was time to solve those troubles tonight.
......
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is as cool as water.
The masked man in black, who held a long sword in one hand, came to the wall of the Gaofu compound and jumped into the courtyard like a dragonfly.
The courtyard was very quiet, there was no one, only a room in the distance was brightly lit, Long Xingyu was dressed like this, it was to hide people's eyes and eyes Tonight will be the night of Gaofu's extinction.
Long Xingyu quietly lurked in the courtyard and hid behind the rockery, and at this time he saw a woman with a maid walking towards the inner room with the guidance of the people of Gaofu.
"She?" Long Xingyu was secretly shocked.
This person is Shen Yixin and the maid Lianxing, Long Xingyu's hand holding the Qingshui Sword was fierce, and his face showed a trace of displeasure. I secretly thought to myself, since I came here late at night, there must be something unspeakable, what was it that Miss Shen came late at night?
Long Xingyu didn't dare to get too close and could only follow from a distance, and after a while, Shen Yixin came to a room with a light on, and Long Xingyu saw through the window that there were already several people with strange faces sitting in the room, and there was Nangong Lin among them.
Long Xingyu was shocked, why did these strangers gather together ......?
As soon as Shen Yixin entered the house, the people in the house got up one after another and said:
"Miss Shen is here!"
Shen Yixin smiled in return and didn't say much, which shows that these people should be concerned about Shen Yixin's identity.
I saw that Nangong Lin also stood up at this time, and said softly: "Since Sister Yixin is here, then I won't say much, everyone must have heard of this matter of Gaofu." ”
"Hmph, how capable can an arrogant and unruly boy of unknown origin be. The old man with a withered and thin face next to him patted the chair handle and said angrily.
"Brother Wei, don't you know, this kid has just been in a few days, but he didn't expect his strength to increase greatly, and dozens of masters in my house were killed. After Gao Jin finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yixin next to him and said coldly: "Yes, Sister Yixin?"
This time, Gao Jin gathered so many people to deal with Long Xingyu. This thin and white-faced old man is Wei Jiangu, a killer hidden by the dark forces of the Yongxing Empire. Hearing the name is like seeing him, Wei Jiangu has never missed every time he kills, he has never stopped seeing the bones of the person who has been killed, and no one has ever escaped his clutches. This Wei Jiangu is one of the people Gao Jin spent a lot of money to invite.
Shen Yixin didn't pay attention to Gao Jin's sarcasm, and a trace of indifferent arrogance flashed on his face, and he said coldly: "Everyone present can't touch him, otherwise you won't be able to get along with my Shen Mansion." ”
"Then the people of my high mansion did not die in vain. Gao Jin confronted angrily.
"Hey, Brother Gao, don't worry, listen to Sister Yixin finish talking first. Nangong Lin stood up from the chair and comforted Gao Jin while stretching out his right hand to signal Gao Jin to sit down.
Gao Jin didn't appreciate it, and said lightly: "If you don't interfere in this matter, then I will hand it over to my father." ”
"You ....... Shen Yixin said angrily.
Then Shen Yi said coldly: "Then I will tell you the reason today." ”
"Listen up," Gao Jin looked at the roof and said meaninglessly with an impatient expression.
Ten years ago, when Shen Yixin was a few years old, her mother died of illness, and on the day her mother died, her mother's master came to the house to see that she was well-behaved, sensible, and talented. Bring her into the mountains, since then she and the ancestor to learn swordsmanship, practice the mind, in the ancestor Shenyuan out of the body, the ancestor once warned her, if one day, the other world to a young man, this young man is fierce like fire, but tender like water, that is her ultimate belonging, can be handed over to him the clear water sword in his hand, clear water sword, the sword is as cool as water and this young man's fire is complementary to each other, the two of them can live a safe life, otherwise this clear water sword is an ancient sword, will bring bad omen. However, she had already had a marriage contract with the Nangong family, and when she mentioned it to her father, her father didn't want to believe it and told her not to mention it from now on.
For so many years, she had never met a teenager from another world that Shizu said, and many times she felt that it might be just a speculation by Shizu, but the day she met Long Xingyu, she remembered Shizu's warning again.
At first, she wasn't sure that Long Xingyu was this visitor from another world, but slowly she felt that she seemed to feel familiar with Long Xingyu when she was together, so she gave him a sword and asked him to accompany her to the Demon Beast Forest to make sure that this young man was the person the ancestor said.
As soon as Shen Yixin finished talking about these past events, Gao Jin laughed contemptuously:
"Haha, it's ridiculous, I think it's a lie that you deliberately made up when you fell in love with that kid. ”
"Yixin, what you said is true?" Nangong Lin couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he heard Gao Jin's words like this.
"I came here today, firstly, I want to tell you about these past events, please don't embarrass Long Gongzi, and secondly, my marriage contract with Nangong Gongzi is the order of my parents, and I should obey it according to my heart. I have already explained what I should say, and I will go home according to my heart. ”
Hearing this, Long Xingyu couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, for some reason, when he thought that this Shen Yixin would marry this Nangong Lin, there seemed to be some acetic acid in his heart, although his heart was full of Li Jiu'er, he was still a little unwilling.
Seeing that Shen Yixin was about to turn around and go out, Nangong Lin said softly: "Yixin, wait ......." ”
Shen Yixin stopped, turned around and said calmly, "I don't know what else is going on with Nangong Gongzi?"
Nangong Lin walked straight to Shen Yixin's side, took off his cloak and wrapped it around Shen Yixin's body, and whispered: "It's windy outside, put this on." ”
Shen Yixin didn't speak, smiled and walked towards the gate of Gaofu.
Long Xingyu knew that it was not easy to act tonight, and he was about to leave quietly, only to hear the sound of conversation in the house sound again.
"Brother Nangong, are you just helpless?" Gao Jin seemed to be unwilling to wave his hand and look at Nangong Lin.
"Senior brother, since Yixin has already spoken, it is naturally inconvenient for you and me to make a move. But....... Nangong Lin didn't say anything more halfway through, but looked at the few people next to him.
Seeing Nangong Lin's eyes, Gao Jin seemed to understand a hint of ruthlessness, "I understand what Brother Nangong means." ”
Outside the house, when Long Xingyu heard this, he couldn't help but curse secretly, "What a despicable and shameless person." Then a cold light appeared in his eyes, you will come to the yin, will I be Long Xingyu, won't I?
When Long Xingyu returned to the inn and sneaked into the room, he found that Li Jiu'er was lying on the table in his room and had already fallen asleep.
"Oh, this girl. Long Xingyu took off his mask, put down the long sword in his hand, gently picked up Li Jiu'er and put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and leaned on the side of the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
Li Jiu'er had already woken up when she was picked up by Long Xingyu, she pretended to close her eyes, feeling the warmth of regret left in her previous life.
When Long Xingyu carried her to the bedside, her heart couldn't help but beat faster, and she became nervous, expectant, and a little afraid, she held her breath slightly and waited for what was coming. However, it was only until Long Xingyu gently put her on the bed and gently covered her with the quilt that there was no movement.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Long Xingyu leaning against the edge of her bed, already snoring slightly. Looking at his tired expression in front of her, she couldn't help but feel sorry for this young man. Quietly put his clothes on his body, and lay down again, and fell asleep warmly.
When the sky was slightly bright, the barking of dogs in the distance came, Long Xingyu suddenly woke up from his dream, wiped a cold sweat, looked at Li Jiu'er who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, he breathed lightly, and then smiled slightly, as if he thought of something.
