"Shopkeeper, how could a girl of yours think of opening an inn?"

When Hu Xiaodie asked this question, Su Muxian was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a while.

From being adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Li to their death and then leaving the inn to her, everything was logical, and she never thought of anything else. Although the inn often loses money, the old couple Li left a lot of silver, and she has been clamoring to sell the inn to get married, but she only talks about it, and she can't be ruthless.

"Maybe it's just because I didn't meet the right person." She said quietly.

"Huh?"

"If I meet the right person, I might get married early, and I won't have this store." Su Muxian cupped his cheeks and said yearningly, "For example, Murong Jingxue, if he proposes to me, I will send the dowry to the door in a few minutes, who cares about this broken inn." ”

"Wait, you're talking about that Murong Jingxue of the No. 1 Divine Sword in the rivers and lakes?" Hu Xiaodie asked in surprise as she propped her chin in her example.

Su Muxian nodded: "It's him." I think he came in and drank a bowl of water through here, and I brought it to him. Emma, I'm telling you, he's really handsome! She held her red face and said shyly, "As soon as I saw him, I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak official words." ”

Jiang Yuanzhong happened to come over and pour tea for the two of them, rolled his eyes and said, "I usually don't see how slippery you are in official words." ”

Su Muxian slapped the table and stood up: "Do you believe it if you have more mouths?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong: "...... Hehe. ”

"You two have such a good relationship." Xu thought of the contradiction with her fiancΓ©, and looked at the back of Jiang Yuanzhong leaving, Hu Xiaodie frowned and sighed softly.

Beauty is beauty, even if I sigh, I feel pity.

Su Muxian stared at her silently for a while, and then she reacted and waved her hand again and again: "What's good, I have nothing to do with him." That guy just lacks morality, and he doesn't feel comfortable without damaging me a few words all day long. If it weren't for the fact that he was alone and had nowhere to go, I would have fired him a long time ago. ”

Hu Xiaodie tilted her head, puzzled: "Fire squid?" ”

"It's dismissal."

Su Muxian grabbed the teacup and poured it violently, and said, "This is me-well, the local dialect of my hometown in the northeast, and I can't change it occasionally." ”

Hu Xiaodie naturally couldn't tell whether what she said was true or false, and she didn't investigate her swallowing to the end, pursed her lips and smiled: "Shopkeeper Su is really a wonderful person." ”

Su Muxian scratched her hair, frowned and said, "I always feel that this doesn't sound like a good thing." ”

Hu Xiaodie covered her mouth and chuckled.

If it weren't for the amazing force she showed on the first day she came to the inn, just looking at her appearance, until now Su Muxian would still think that she was a lady who sneaked out of the house, and her every move was naturally elegant, more like a real daughter than the arrogant and domineering girl of Zhao Yuan's family.

Su Muxian secretly asked her about the details early in the morning, but Hu Xiaodie did not reveal any other information except for confessing that she had followed her master since she was a child. Seeing that there were no guests in the inn now, Su Muxian only felt that her gossip heart was tickled, and she came to her side and whispered, "Miss Hu, I want to ask you something." ”

"What?"

"You and Tang Gongzi, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaodie's smile dimmed a little, looked at the bustling street outside the door, and said, "This matter is also simple. I have known Ah Yi since childhood, even if I can't be called a childhood sweetheart, the relationship is not bad, and I made a marriage contract between my master and the Tang Sect when I became an adult. ”

She looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor, and continued, "I came out this time to take him back to get married." Knowing that he ran away overnight on the day of the wedding, I chased him for thousands of miles to find him here. However, if the marriage contract is not canceled, he is afraid that he will not return to Shuzhong with me. ”

"I had to stay with him at the inn for the time being, to see when he would change his mind."

"But I see, Tang Gongzi doesn't seem to hate you that much." Su Muxian said.

Hu Xiaodie smiled bitterly, "He doesn't hate me, but he hates his fiancΓ©e." As the leader of the younger generation of the Tang Sect, he has been forced to do many things that he is not willing to do, and now he can't even make his own decisions about marriage, so he must be very angry with me. ”

After listening to her, Su Muxian subconsciously raised her head, swept the corner of the stairs from the corner of her eyes, and vaguely saw a corner of the dark purple robe, which disappeared in a flash, so fast that she couldn't be sure if she had really seen it.

A person in a purple robe on the second floor...... Who will it be?

There was no need to think much about the answer, but looking at Hu Xiaodie's melancholy look, Su Muxian felt that it was better not to say more. Love is the most difficult to understand, and her pointing fingers at an outsider may have the opposite effect.

Thinking of this, she pulled the topic back to Murong Jingxue.

"Miss Hu, I heard that you have ranked several of the most famous young men in the rivers and lakes according to their martial arts family backgrounds, and it seems that people like Murong Jingxue are only ranked third. What is the origin of this first and second? ”

When it came to the gossip of the rivers and lakes, Hu Xiaodie's attention was suddenly diverted a lot, her eyes were also bright, and she said excitedly: "Shopkeeper Su, you can ask the right person!" ”

"How?"

"After the ranking came out, as soon as Tang Yu was also on the list, I also studied the nine people above in detail, and I have a deep understanding of them." Hu Xiaodie said, "Let's talk about Murong Jingxue, although he is the number one divine sword in the rivers and lakes, and the owner of Murong Villa, not to mention rich, he is also handsome, but unfortunately he is indifferent by nature and cold as an iceberg, which greatly affects his rating, and in the end he can only be ranked third." ”

Su Muxian was surprised: "You guys are still on this list and look at people's personalities?" ”

Hu Xiaodie glanced at her and said, "This ranking is also called the list of the top ten promising young people that women in the rivers and lakes want to marry the most, and personality is naturally one of the measurement factors." ”

…… You Jianghu people really know how to play.

Su Muxian sighed for a moment, and then asked, "Then according to what you say, the first and second two must be even more extraordinary?" ”

"That's nature. The second place is the young owner of Shenjian Villa, named Jiang Qiguang. Fang Ling is twenty and four, and he can make a secret weapon that is superb, and his light skills are almost unmatched, the only shortcoming is that few people on the rivers and lakes have seen his true face. ”

"Because all the people who saw him are dead?"

Hu Xiaodie shook her head: "Because his disguise technique is also unparalleled in the world." ”

Su Muxian said: "I understand the truth, but listening to your description, this Jiang Qiguang is nothing unusual except for his martial arts, and he doesn't even know his appearance, how can he overpower Murong Jingxue?" ”

"That's because you don't know what it means to be in the rivers and lakes." Hu Xiaodie took a sip of the teacup, moistened her throat and continued, "Before Murong Jingxue appeared, Shenjian Villa was the authority of the sword and the holy place that everyone in the rivers and lakes longed for. Jiang Qiguang is an outlier, he didn't choose to take the path of the sword, but he defeated Elder Tongshan in one move, and took the head of the Bright Sect in ten steps, needless to say, force. ”

"Excalibur Villa plus his kung fu, and then there is a mystical bonus, it is not surprising that it ranks second."

Su Muxian sighed: "The mysterious can only deceive the little girl." ”

Hu Xiaodie ignored her sour words, raised her index finger and shook it, and said, "The first is Mei Hongxue, who is known as the son of Hongmei." Compared with the other two, he came from a mediocre background, his background was not prominent, and he was also among the best in martial arts. As for why it is ranked first, the reason is simple. ”

"What is the reason?"

"Because he's so good-looking!" Hu Xiaodie sighed, "That's really like a dragon." Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. A fairy-like figure. ”

Su Muxian pouted: "Anyway, I haven't seen it, you can boast as much as you want." I still like Murong Jingxue, what's wrong with the iceberg, at least the parents are good-looking and cool! ”

After she finished speaking, she only heard a sharp and piercing scream from outside the door, and subconsciously tilted her head to look, the afterglow of the setting sun paved the road red, bathed in the warm and undazzling sun, the white-clothed swordsman withdrew the long sword from the opponent with an expressionless face, and gently blew on the tip of the sword that was still stained with a few drops of blood, and the blood beads fell in response, smashed into the dust all over the ground, and then collected the sword and returned to the sheath.

It wasn't until the cold-glowing blade was sheathed that the man opposite the white-clothed swordsman slowly fell backwards as if in slow motion. A hole was made in his chest, and blood slowly oozed out, soaking through his thin spring shirt like a blooming red flower.

"Mu ...... Rong ......" He squeezed these two words out of his throat with difficulty, as if it had taken all his strength and life, his lips spurted, and he could no longer hear the third word and completely lost his breath.

Murong was shocked.

Su Muxian gasped, he didn't expect that he would say that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and he was still praising him for being handsome a minute ago, but when he turned around, he saw him killing people in the street, and his surprise was about to turn into fright.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time she has seen a dead person, but it is also the first time she has seen that killing can be so elegant. The cold killing intent carried a beautiful sense of art, and even made her reflexively jump out of her mind with a name.

"He should be surnamed Simon." She said to Hu Xiaodie beside her.

Hu Xiaodie's phoenix eyes widened, and she wondered, "Why do you want to be surnamed Ximen?" What's the allusion? ”

Su Muxian came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "I once read a book, and there is a peerless swordsman surnamed Ximen who is very similar to him, and he is a person I have admired since I was a child. When I saw him, I always felt that the characters in the book came out alive. ”

She said and went to see Murong Jingxue again, I don't know if the heroes are all very powerful, and Murong Jingxue also happened to look sideways in the direction of the inn. After a pause, Murong Jingxue walked towards the inn with his sword in his hand.

Su Muxian couldn't see what the expression on his face was, thinking that it was cool enough to be so cool, handsome and strangely handsome, but it was indeed a little scary, could it be that she heard her say something she shouldn't say just now, and was going to teach her a lesson?

There was a ghost in his heart, and he couldn't help but shrink behind Hu Xiaodie, trying to block his body.

Fortunately, Murong Jingxue didn't say anything else, she didn't even have a superfluous look, she sat down by the window with a sword, took out a full amount of silver and said to the shopkeeper Su: "Come on a bowl of water." ”

After looking left and right and not seeing Jiang Yuanzhong, guessing that he was lazy again, Su Muxian looked at the silver and then at him, and the small abacus in his heart was doubled, and finally he stepped forward and picked up the teapot, and responded enthusiastically: "Okay, you wait a minute." ”
