17. (xvii)

When Jiang Yuanzhong said that he didn't do it, his tone was sincere, his expression was innocent, and he was as innocent as a white lotus, and Su Muxian almost believed him.

She looked at the surroundings, whether it was cups and bowls, tables and chairs, they were still fine, and it seemed that she really couldn't find anything wrong.

Su Muxian's mouth opened and opened, and he felt the feeling in his throat again. Looking at Jiang Yuanzhong again, his face was light and breezy, as if nothing had happened.

Su Muxian looked at him with a complicated expression, and then looked at the girl in red who was fixed in place and couldn't move, and suddenly remembered Tang Yuyi's experience.

The culprit, if nothing else, is the one standing in front of her now.

"You ......" Before she could organize her words, she felt Shen Ying's eager gaze, which was too hot to ignore, so the words that had not yet been uttered turned on the tip of her tongue and became-

"You let that girl go first." She tactfully persuaded, "This posture is not very elegant in the inn." ”

Such a living sculpture with a sword in the posture of slashing people is placed in the lobby and does not scare the guests away.

Jiang Yuanzhong almost didn't object to her opinion after coming to the inn, but at this time he shook his head disapprovingly: "It's okay, it can be untied in half an hour, take advantage of the time to let her calm down." ”

Are you sure she can really calm down......

Su Muxian glanced at it secretly, and the girl in red obviously became more vicious after hearing his words.

Jiang Yuanzhong said and glanced back at Shen Ying, looked up and down, and really felt that his face was a little hideous, thought for a while, frowned and said, "If you think this is unsightly, why don't you move her to the backyard first?" ”

Su Muxian: "......"

Su Muxian: "I think you did this, and when she regains her freedom, she will continue to cut you with a sword." ”

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yuanzhong looked very calm, "Anyway, she can't beat me." ”

Everyone present: "......"

Even though it's the truth, it sounds really bad.

Probably struck by his confidence, there was a brief silence in the lobby.

Su Muxian stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows, he was a little stimulated a little bit today, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he calmed down at this time. Jiang Yuanzhong's identity, Jiang Yuanzhong and the girl in red, his unfathomable martial arts...... A lot of questions swirled in her head.

Just ask, it seems that she doesn't have any qualifications. Although Jiang Yuanzhong is the second child who works under her, it is understandable that people have their own secrets, and there is no law in this dynasty that states that innkeepers must report their own wealth.

But don't ask, I always feel panicked.

That bit of depressed affection weighed heavily on her heart, and taught her that she hardly dared to look at him squarely.

Jiang Yuanzhong had been paying attention to the subtle changes in her expression, and seeing that she showed a trace of imperceptible irritability, he stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper, now that you are free, why don't we talk a few words?" ”

Su Muxian raised his eyes and looked directly at him, his gaze fell on his deep and calm eyes, pursed his lips and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Although she was only away for a moment, she had to find someone to help her watch the store.

There were only a few people in the lobby, and the little fat man Huo Fei and his two guards, plus the red-clothed girl who had been staring at Jiang Yuanzhong, did not exceed the number of one hand. Su Muxian looked around, just in time to see Tang Yuyi hiding behind the curtain and peeking inside, and immediately beckoned to him.

"Tang Yuyi, come here."

Tang Yu came over flatteringly and said, "Shopkeeper Su, what do you command?" ”

"Look at the inn for me for a while." Su Muxian said, and added uneasily, "Just look at it, you don't have to do anything else." ”

Tang Yu nodded: "Leave it to me, don't worry." ”

Su Muxian: "......"

It's even more uneasy to say this.

……

Tang Yu watched Jiang Yuanzhong and Su Muxian step up the stairs one after the other, his eyes turned back to the remaining few people in the lobby, and he was about to talk to the little fat man, when a child with two pigtails on his head kicked and ran into the inn with ill-fitting shoes.

He saw Tang Yuyi lying on the counter hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and said, "Is Shopkeeper Su there?" A girl surnamed Hu asked me to deliver a letter. ”

Hearing Miss Hu's words, Tang Yu's heart trembled, unconsciously twisted his eyebrows, raised his head and said to the child, "What letter?" Just give it to me. ”

The child looked at him uneasily: "Sister Hu said, Shopkeeper Su is a woman, you are a man, how can you pretend to be her?" ”

"Now I'm the innkeeper, who is not to give, I'm still Hu Xiaodie's fiancΓ© of the violent woman." Tang Yu was too lazy to break with him, he turned over the counter directly with his hand, landed in front of the child, reached out and took away the letter he was holding in his arms, and then stuffed two sugar cubes into him.

"Alright, the things have been delivered, you can go." He waved his hand and gave the eviction order.

The boy did not leave, staring at the letter in his hand, showing a look of hesitation.

"Gotta get it, don't look at me, I'll hand it over to her when Shopkeeper Su comes down, you go first." As he spoke, Tang Yu took out the ingots and crushed silver from his pocket and threw them into the boy's arms accurately.

The boy smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

After speaking, as if he was afraid that he would regret and take back the silver, he ran out of the inn with a smoke.

The envelope was so thin that it was evident that it contained nothing else. Tang Yu lowered his head, rudely tore open the envelope three times and divided five by two, shook off the three-folded letter paper, and saw the first sentence at the beginning at a glance.

"Sudden change, can't return to ...... for the time being"

swept over at a glance, Tang Yuyi's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes moved to the inscription, the three words "Hu Xiaodie" were beautiful and beautiful, with her small seal, there was no possibility of others copying it.

Did Hu Xiaodie's woman really have an accident?

……

2nd floor, guest rooms.

Jiang Yuanzhong and Su Muxian sat face to face across the small square table.

Resting his hand on the table and knocking lightly twice, Su Muxian groaned: "Be lenient in confession, and strict in resisting." Do you want to explain it yourself, or do you want me to do it? ”

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

He said euphemistically: "It's too pompous, I'm afraid this kind of bad guy's lines are not suitable for you." ”

"Ahem." Su Muxian cleared his throat and straightened his expression, "Then it's up to you to explain." Start with ......"

She thought for a moment, "Let's start with the name." ”

If there had been no problems with her hearing, and her memory had not been confused, the girl in red seemed to be shouting another name as she drew her sword. Although this name may not have the same name, to say that there is such a coincidence, Su Muxian does not believe it.

Jiang Qiguang, Hu Xiaodie once told her that the second place on the Jianghu Youth List is called this name. At the same time, he is also the young owner of Shenjian Villa......

Su Muxian lowered his eyes, waiting for his explanation.

"The name is real." Jiang Yuanzhong sat a little uncomfortable, and changed his posture a few times before he spoke, "My real name is Jiang Qiguang, and Yuanzhong is my character." ”

Most of the people in the rivers and lakes don't like to engage in the set of writing, and naturally no one will take the table words. So although Jiang Yuanzhong's master gave him a word, he usually uses his real name when he walks the rivers and lakes.

"So that's not a deception to you." He added.

Su Muxian nodded: "Hmm." ”

Jiang Yuan listened expressionlessly when he saw her, and only let out a salty "um", his heart was worried, and he couldn't figure out what she meant, so he had to continue: "The one who came to me is the daughter of the Shijiao family, whose maiden name is Shen Ying, and she is nominally my ......."

He hesitated, "It's my fiancΓ©e." ”

The three words of fiancΓ©e were said by him with a look of heroic determination like he was about to go to the battlefield.

Su Muxian raised his head when he heard this, and said, "So, you are indeed the young owner of the Divine Sword Villa?" ”

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Su Muxian looked at his face, from his eyebrows to his chin, and then slid all the way to his calloused hands, paused for a moment and said: "The dignified young owner of the Divine Sword Villa can change his name and Yifu to such a small inn as a partner, which really makes the small shop shine." ”

Jiang Yuanzhong was silent: "...... Shopkeeper, can you not bury me? ”

Su Muxian said sincerely: "No." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was another awkward silence.

Su Muxian looked at Jiang Yuanzhong's appearance of not daring to relax at all, thinking of his daily relationship, he couldn't help but soften his breath slightly.

"Actually, I'm not too shocked to know that your identity is unusual."

Fortunately, with the suspicions of the past few days as a foreshadowing, it is naturally easier for her to accept.

Jiang Yuan raised his eyes again: "Aren't you surprised to know that I can be martial?" ”

He felt that he had always covered it up well, and he usually deliberately portrayed himself as an ordinary person who was powerless, obviously he ordered Shen Ying's acupoint when Su Muxian was still unbelievable, and he could accept it lightly at this time?

"Surprised, surprised, surprised, surprised, so surprised that my accent changed." Su Muxian said perfunctorily.

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

I don't think so.

Su Muxian said: "Jiang Yuanzhong, do you think I'm really stupid, I'm not very smart, but when you used the secret weapon that night, I had doubts about whether you would be martial, but I didn't want to believe it." ”

"Which night? You peeked at the night I took a shower? As soon as Su Muxian said that, he also remembered that he had indeed had such an experience.

Su Muxian said expressionlessly: "There is no need to add this sentence deliberately. ”

He is stating the facts.

Jiang Yuanzhong sighed and said, "Shopkeeper, I didn't mean to lie to you, and I don't have any ill intentions towards you." ”

"I know, besides, if you really have any bad intentions, I can't beat you, so why wait until now."

"So ......"

"So?" Su Muxian also sighed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk about this topic, tell me that I should call you Jiang Yuanzhong or Jiang Qiguang in the future, or do you prefer the title of Young Master Jiang and Jiang Gongzi?" ”

"It's still Jiang Yuanzhong, listen to it and get used to it." Jiang Yuanzhong said.

The two of them gossiped ramblingly, as if they really wanted to skip the topic just now.

After sitting for a while, Su Muxian couldn't help it after enduring it for a long time, and picked out the question she was most interested in and asked, "I heard Miss Shen say that you have changed your face, and now that you know your identity, can you let me see what you are?" ”

What a disguise, β–‘β–‘ she has only seen in the book, and now it is the first time she has met the real thing, and she thinks it is really novel.

I thought it was just an ordinary question, but I didn't expect that what I was waiting for was Jiang Yuanzhong's long silence.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌŸβ€

"Jiang Yuanzhong? Jiang Yuanzhong? ”

Su Muxian was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to say that he couldn't watch it, but before he could speak, he heard Jiang Yuanzhong decisively and simply refuse: "No." ”

Can you refuse a little bit to make people feel a little hesitant?

Realizing that he had rejected too decisively, Jiang Yuanzhong hurriedly remedied: "It's because of my face...... Hmmm......"

He squeaked for a long time and didn't express it clearly, but Su Muxian understood, and looked at him with a gaze that couldn't help but become a little sympathetic.

It turned out that he practiced his disguise technique hard because he was ugly, no wonder he really misunderstood him if he didn't show it to others.

She stood up with a long sigh, stretched out her hand across the square table and patted Jiang Yuanzhong's shoulder.

"Don't say it, I can understand it."

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

No, I don't feel like you really understand.
