Chapter Seventy-Three: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

The time has entered the wax moon, it is the cold winter, whether it is a warrior or an ordinary person, unless necessary, they are not willing to go out, but hide at home in the winter, especially today the weather is gloomy and the cold wind is biting, and no one wants to come out.

In a town near the Phoenix Mountains, the usually lively and bustling streets are sparsely populated at this time, and the hawkers who often come to put things out to sell have disappeared, and even the scores on both sides of the street, many of them are closed, only a few big shops in the town, and there are barely people left to guard the shops.

In one of the largest ready-to-wear shops in town, a young man yawns boredly, but his heart is slandering his unscrupulous owner. —

On such a cold day, even those warriors don't go out, and they can't even see a single figure on the street, how can there be customers in their store? It's better to let him go home early and let him go back to spend more time with his newly married daughter-in-law!

As soon as he finished slandering, the young man's bored expression froze on his face, but the next moment, his eyes lit up, as if his face had changed, and he greeted him with a courteous and eager smile.

It turned out that there was really a person in their shop, and he was dressed as a deputy martial artist, and the young man's attitude was even more happy.

Because these warriors are often generous, and they don't like to bargain when they buy things, if they are satisfied, the reward is even more generous, far exceeding their wages, so these guys love to rush to serve the warriors.

However, when the young man walked in and saw the appearance of this female warrior, he was stunned for a moment, he had grown so big, and he had never seen such a beautiful and gentle warrior. Or, if it weren't for the martial arts uniform she was wearing, and in such a cold day, she only wore single clothes, he really couldn't believe that he was a martial artist, otherwise, how could ordinary people stand it if they wore such a thin one?

Because it is close to the Phoenix Mountains, although it is a little remote, but it is also possible to see martial artists, he has seen many female warriors, some are heroic, naughty and lively, some are ruthless, and even some are brutal and willful, but without exception, they all have a strong trace of martial artists.

Whether it is the indifference and contempt for ordinary people, or the temperament exuded by their bodies, they all show people their noble warrior status.

But the person in front of her didn't have such a style, and even her voice sounded gentle.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy a few sets of winter clothes, can you introduce them to me?"

The young man came back to his senses, he blushed a little embarrassedly, touched the back of his head, and then changed to the courteous smile just now, and said, "You are too polite, the little one is not a shopkeeper, just a guy in this shop." Girl, please come with me to the second floor, where are the best clothes in our store! ”

The woman bowed slightly, and followed the young man upstairs.

This female warrior is naturally Liu Muxi, who has just come out of the Phoenix Mountain Range.

It is said that when Liu Muxi went down the mountain, she was still wearing the cloak given to her by Qi Yifan, but when she was about to enter the town, she took off the cloak and put it in the space ring, and then went straight to the ready-to-wear shop.

After the little fire civet entered the town, it was a little novel and excited, and it looked like it was eager to try, Liu Muxi let it go shopping by itself, anyway, the little fire civet remembered the taste on her body, and it would not be lost, it was an innate spirit beast, and basically no one could get it.

Liu Muxi followed the guy to the second floor, the second floor basically sells clothes suitable for martial artists, and the price is naturally much more expensive than ordinary clothes, but it is far less than the martial arts clothes she bought in Maple Leaf Town, but looking at the style and materials, Liu Muxi bought a few sets.

In addition to this, two more women's hooded capes with hoods were bought to protect against the wind and cold, one beige and one black. The cloak is just plain satin fabric, embroidered with fur on the inside, and soft raw edges on the outside, which is really warm and beautiful.

These add up to less than a thousand taels of silver, which is the price of this dress on her body.

She is still wearing the black warrior costume she bought in Maple Leaf Town that day, and it cost her more than 4,000 taels when she bought five sets of clothes, but unfortunately, she only wore this one, and the rest were sent back to Jishitang.

However, this outfit, she has been wearing and tossing for so long, and it is not too worn, which is enough to prove its quality and is indeed worth the price.

Liu Muxi was about to follow the smiling young man downstairs to pay the bill, suddenly, after a pause, her eyes stopped on another room with all kinds of male warrior clothes, she thought about it, and suddenly asked the young man: "I don't know if there is a men's clothing suitable for me to wear?" ”

The young man was slightly stunned, then looked at her without a trace, and said with a smile: "The girl is slender, and there are clothes that suit your height, but if you want to wear them, you still have to modify them slightly." ”

"It's not a problem, I can change it myself." Liu Muxi said.

Her female popularity is very good. Moreover, it is more convenient to walk outside in men's clothes. Moreover, she is now somewhat aware that her appearance can also cause problems for herself. When you go out, this unnecessary trouble can be saved.

The young man is naturally even happier, the more things he sells, the happier the owner is, and maybe he will give him a salary increase and let him be a second shopkeeper!

In the end, Liu Muxi picked two more sets of men's clothes, one white and one blue.

When she went downstairs to pay the bill, she didn't forget to give the young man a reward, and by the way, she also inquired about the inn in the town.

The young man happily sent the big patron away, watched her go away, and then reluctantly went back.

Liu Muxi came to the inn with a good reputation that the young man told her, asked for a first-class room, paid the deposit, and then followed the little second brother upstairs.

It was only at this time that Liu Muxi breathed a sigh of relief, and a faint trace of tiredness appeared between his eyebrows.

At this time, it was just noon, and not long after, a guy sent a sumptuous lunch, Liu Muxi had eaten barbecue in the mountains for two months, and she had already eaten it and wanted to vomit, she really missed the taste of the food, even if she was just eating white rice, she felt very fragrant.

When someone came to clean up the scraps, the guy saw that Liu Muxi only ate vegetarian dishes, but didn't eat meat dishes at all, so he remembered it in his heart. Therefore, in the evening, Liu Muxi found that there were only vegetarian dishes on his table, and he couldn't help crying and laughing.

Liu Muxi rested in the inn for a night, and set off on the road the next day.

Now, she is not in a hurry to go to Bituo Mountain, because she wants to find a sword suitable for her before going back.

When it comes to swords, we have to mention the Lu family.

The Lu family is one of the seven great families of the Phoenix Mansion, and is famous for forging swords. In the entire southeast of China, there is a well-known sword-forging family. The sword forged by the Lu family, I don't know how many warriors dream of it, if you get a sword forged by the Lu family, walking outside, anyone has to take a look at it.

If you can let the Lu family tailor a sword for you, it will definitely be a great face and a great glory.

It's a pity that the Lu family's sword is too expensive.

It's just expensive, but they still have a lot of conditions.

Those with mediocre qualifications are not sold, those with low backgrounds are not sold, those with notoriety are not sold, and even, those who have no fate will not be sold.

In the words of the Lu family, it is not only the warriors who have to pick the swords, but also those swords. If the sword doesn't choose you, there is no fate, no matter how high your status is, it will not be sold.

Therefore, it is too difficult to get the sword of the Lu family.

Even so, Liu Muxi wanted to try his luck.

When leaving, Liu Muxi also bought a gentle mare to welcome the journey, Liu Muxi does not know how to ride a horse, but she has asked Mu Shengqiu for advice on horseback riding skills before, and she is not ignorant.

Fortunately, Liu Muxi has a strong affinity for animals, even horses. Even if Liu Muxi's riding skills were terrible, the horse didn't lose his temper at all, or threw it off the horse.

What's more, there is an innate spirit beast on horseback! The horses were also obedient and did not dare to rebel.

Liu Muxi's clumsy riding skills were slowly practiced in the hurry, at least when she came to this famous sword city, she already looked like her.

This sword city is the territory of the Lu family.

In fact, in the past, Sword City was not called this name, but later, after the Lu family became more and more famous, it was called Sword City, and gradually no one remembered the real name of the city.

Along the way, Liu Muxi also found a very strange phenomenon.

That is, she saw more and more martial artists, and when it was cold in the winter, they left the sect and began to gather in the Phoenix Mansion.

At first, she didn't care, because there were usually many foreign warriors in Phoenix Mansion who ventured, but gradually, she noticed that something was wrong.

Because there are more and more warriors, and there are almost every powerful person, but they all seem to have a tacit understanding, and they don't even cause trouble, even if they are dissatisfied with each other, they just give him a fierce glare, as if they are scruples, or they are afraid of someone.

Liu Muxi was surprised, so she often went to the teahouse or restaurant to listen to all kinds of gossip, but the results she learned made her a little crying and laughing.

It turned out that these martial artists were all elite disciples sent by the major powers, who came to find a mysterious super powerhouse. However, they didn't even know the appearance and name of that person, only that not long ago, the Phoenix Mountain Range broke through the realm, causing almost the entire Southeast Shenzhou to shake. Therefore, those people in power of large and small sects and families were not at ease, so they sent them out to inquire about it to see what the super strong man had intentions.

After all, it is really very arrogant and unreasonable to enter someone else's territory so loudly without saying hello.

However, they didn't even dare to fart. Not only did he not dare to send someone to question, but he could only secretly and around the corner to inquire about the whereabouts of the strong man, only hoping that he would leave Southeast Shenzhou as soon as possible, of course, it would be better if he could make friends with this super strong man.

No matter what little calculations these people have in their hearts, unfortunately, until now, they haven't even seen the shadow of that super powerhouse.

Even, since that movement, the super strong man has not moved anymore, as if he has disappeared from the world. After the bigwigs of various factions in Shenzhou got the news, they thought that this super strong man might have left, and they were all relieved a little, but there was no clear news, and they still didn't dare to take it lightly.

As a result, the warriors of various factions and families in Shenzhou will quickly flock to Phoenix Mansion. There were already many warriors who came to the Phoenix Mansion to take risks, but now they are even more crowded.

Liu Muxi naturally knew who the super strong person they were looking for was, but unfortunately, Su Yan had already left, and they were doomed to return in vain.

However, it was none of her business, until the cause of the matter was that she put this matter behind her. Concentrate on finding the sword that suits her heart, of course, she also gave herself a deadline, that is, she must reach Bituo Mountain before the year.

It's a pity that the sword is not easy to find, and the sword that suits you is even more difficult to find. Liu Muxi had no choice but to come all the way to Sword City.

Today's Sword City has also poured in a lot of martial artists, and Liu Muxi is mixed in it, which is not obvious.

Liu Muxi was dressed as a man at this time, she was wearing that white men's dress, riding on horseback, slender and straight, coupled with her delicate and holy appearance and a smile like a spring breeze on her face, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a turbidity son.

Liu Muxi's man is not without flaws in disguise, although she tried her best to cover up her feminine characteristics, not only modified her eyebrow shape, but even her posture, movements and way of speaking, etc., she imitated it vividly, looking like a male and female teenager.

However, Liu Muxi's outfit can also deceive ordinary people, but in front of people with vicious eyesight and extensive knowledge, I am afraid that there is no concealment effect. But Liu Muli didn't care, she didn't expect that she could hide it from everyone, she did it just to hope that she would have less trouble on the road.

Liu Muxi registered at the gate of the city, and after entering the Sword City, he first went to find an inn to live in. It's a pity that even a few inns were full, and it wasn't until she arrived at the largest and most luxurious inn in the city that there were finally rooms available.

However, the accommodation fee here is much higher than that of other inns, and it costs fifty taels of silver a day.

Although Liu Muxi has more than three million taels of silver, she can't stand such a flower, not to mention, she is still useful to keep the money, but she doesn't want to be wronged.

Therefore, Liu Muxi asked the shopkeeper for the reason.

The shopkeeper was not angry, but explained with a smile: "Because this inn was opened by our Lu family, it was not originally to make money, but because our little master liked it, so we got an inn for him to play with." If you're too expensive, you can't live there. ”

Liu Muxi couldn't, so he could only obediently hand over the silver and stay.

However, when she entered the inn, she found that this inn was really different.

For example, the guys in the inn turned out to be not clever little brothers, but a group of young and beautiful maids, and these maids are all beautiful and have martial arts, although most of them are just samurai, but some have reached the early stage of the day after tomorrow.

And these maids have the same sweet smile on their faces, and their movements carry a kind of beauty like flowing water, serving guests is even more careful and thoughtful, as if they are back at home, truly at home.

Liu Muxi's room is a medium room on the second floor. Fifty taels of silver can only stay in a first-class room for one night, but the medium-sized room booked by Liu Muxi requires seventy taels of silver.

However, when Liu Muxi followed a pretty maid upstairs, he met a very young man who hurriedly came downstairs.

When the pretty maid saw him, she ducked aside and bowed to him.

But the young boy didn't even look at him, and walked straight in front of them.

Liu Muxi saw that the maid was so respectful to him, which was completely different from treating them as guests, so he guessed in his heart that maybe this man was the youngest son of the Lu family.

Liu Muxi didn't think much about it, and was about to follow the maid upstairs, when suddenly, she heard a familiar name, but it made her spine stiffen, and she turned around in an instant and looked at the door.

"Mu Li, I finally got you here?" It was the young man who had spoken, and at this time, he was hurrying out of the door of the inn, his voice full of excitement and joy.

"Zhan Fei, I'm not here! And it's just to see you. A woman's slightly lazy voice came from outside the door, with a different kind of charm.

"You're not going to leave so soon, are you? I've even prepared your yard, and it's as you like. Lu Zhanfei said with some flattery.

The woman outside didn't answer his question, but just said with a little intimacy and ridicule: "Lu Zhanfei Lu Eldest Prince, that's how you entertain guests, I came all the way to see you, but you let me blow the cold wind outside?" Why don't you hurry up and invite me in! ”

"Hehe, Mu Li, aren't I too happy to see you? And you're not a guest in my heart, you've always been my ......"

Lu Zhanfei hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by Liu Muli, "Of course I'm not a guest, how to say, I also have the dividends of the inn, so I can be regarded as half the owner of this inn!" Let's go inside, I don't want to be watched. ”

After hearing these words, Liu Muxi turned around and continued to go upstairs with the pretty maid.

After Liu Muli entered the house, she happened to see her back disappear around the corner. Liu Muli frowned slightly, she suddenly felt that the person's back was a little familiar, but she didn't think about it for a while.

Lu Zhanfei saw her staring blankly in the direction of the stairs, remembering what he had glimpsed when he went downstairs just now, the young man's stunning appearance, and thought that Liu Muli was fascinated by his appearance, and couldn't help but feel a trace of jealousy in his heart, and said, "Mu Li, where are you looking?" What is there to see about that little white face, he will only rely on his face to deceive women's feelings, you must not be deceived by his appearance. ”

Liu Muli didn't see the man's face at all, he just felt that his back was a little familiar, and now when he heard Lu Zhanfei's words, he couldn't help but say with a smile: "How is it possible!" I didn't even see that person's face, how could I be fascinated by him? I just thought his figure was familiar. ”

"I see." Lu Zhanfei breathed a sigh of relief, but he still told with some unease: "There are many men in this world who can deceive people, especially the better they look, the more they can deceive people, especially the hearts of women." Mu Li, if you see such a person in the future, you must immediately hide away, you must know that those people are both cheating money and sex, and I am reluctant to let you suffer. ”

Liu Muli couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, but she felt warm in her heart because of what she said to herself, and her eyes softened a lot when she looked at him.

This teenager is only one year older than her, although he is spoiled by his family, and his personality is a little willful and arrogant, but he is very good to her. She didn't think of treating him as her own man, but now, she was a little reluctant!

Now the people around her, one is more shrewd than the other, one is more complex than the other, they may like themselves, but they are by no means simple. In this way, the goodness of the young man in front of him is revealed, although his qualifications are not as good as those of several others, and even his personality is not very mature, but at least, his feelings for himself are simple and sincere.

"Don't worry, I don't think you can see enough, how can you go to see other men." After Liu Muli's mentality changed, her attitude towards Lu Zhanfei became a little more intimate, not the perfunctory appearance before.

When Lu Zhanfei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red, and his shy and cute appearance made Liu Muli eager to take him into his arms and rub him fiercely. However, she was afraid that this was the lobby, so she endured it.

On the contrary, Lu Zhanfei came back to his senses, suddenly took her hand with a red face, and said to her, "Mu Li, I'll take you to your yard to have a look." ”

With that, he pulled her to the backyard.

In addition to the first-class rooms, there are exquisite courtyards in this backyard, which are generally not open to the public, but Liu Muli's courtyard is the best and most elegantly arranged here.

After Lu Zhanfei excitedly pulled Liu Muli to visit, the two sat down in the living room, and immediately a maid served them tea.

"Mu Li, how many days are you going to stay this time? How about I take you to meet my parents and brothers? They want to see you! Lu Zhanfei thought that Liu Muli had accepted him, so he happily put forward the idea in his heart.

Liu Muli's eyebrows jumped, and he said with some embarrassment: "Zhan Fei, I came to Phoenix Mansion this time, but I actually have something to do. So, I really can't go to Lufu with you to meet Uncle Shi this time, wait for my matter, are we talking about this matter? ”

Liu Muli really can't go to see them, otherwise, what if they really want to marry Lu Zhanfei by themselves? Then she is really in a dilemma.

Lu Zhanfei showed a trace of disappointment on his face, but he still asked a little unwillingly, "What do you want to do?" I'll let my brothers help you? Our Lu family has a bit of face in Phoenix Mansion, and there is nothing that our Lu family can't do. ”

Liu Muli smiled faintly and said, "This matter, even if it is your Lu family, I'm afraid it can't be done." ”

"What can't our Lu family do?" At this time, a man's deep voice suddenly came from outside, which surprised Liu Muli and Lu Zhanfei.

Before the two could react, the man had already walked into the living room.

At this time, a young man in his twenties looked very elegant, but his temperament was a little wild and uninhibited, which made him form a very unique manly charm.

He is five points similar to Lu Zhanfei, but he is more mature and manly than Lu Zhanfei, Lu Zhanfei is in front of him, he just wants to be a child who has not grown up.

"Big brother, why did you come in all of a sudden? Scared us? Lu Zhanfei said with a little complaint.

"I'm your brother, why can't I come? What's more, I also want to see with my own eyes what the woman who is praised by you to heaven is like? Lu Zhanhong looked at Liu Muli meaningfully and said.

Liu Muli's face remained unchanged, but he was already vigilant in his heart.

When this person appeared, she didn't even notice it, it seemed that his cultivation, even if he didn't advance to the innate level, was not much closer. If he wants to deal with himself, it will be a bit tricky.

It's not that she's too guarded, it's that she senses this person's hostility towards her, which makes her have to be on guard.

Could it be that this man loves his brother, and he is afraid that he will kidnap his good brother by himself?

Liu Muli's head turned sharply, and several thoughts turned in her heart.

"Now that you've seen it, how does it feel?" Liu Muli calmly asked.

Lu Zhanhong smiled meaningfully and said, "The second lady of the Liu family of Jinming Mansion really lives up to her reputation. ”

Hearing his words, Liu Muli couldn't help frowning fiercely.

Lu Zhanhong's words sounded normal, but when they fell into her ears, why did she feel so uncomfortable? It's as if there is something in the words.

Liu Muli was a little unhappy in her heart.

Lu Zhanfei only thought that the eldest brother was praising his sweetheart, so he said proudly: "Of course Mu Li is the best." Big brother, you also think Mu Li is very good, right? Hmph, I know that you will definitely like Mu Li. ”

Lu Zhanhong smiled slightly and did not speak.

"Big brother, aren't you concentrating on forging a sword? Why is it suddenly available today? After Lu Zhanfei praised Liu Muli, he asked in surprise.

"Stinky boy, you just remembered to ask me!" Lu Zhanhong scolded with a smile, and the doting in his tone was something that Liu Muli could hear.

She is now more and more sure that this Lu Zhanhong is a crazy person, so he will reject himself as Lu Zhanfei's sweetheart, and when she got this answer, she was also relieved, and listened attentively to the conversation between the two.

"I've already cast that sword, and today it's just to come out to breathe, so I thought I'd come to see you, but I didn't expect to run into Miss Liu Er." Lu Zhanhong explained.

"Big brother, your sword is cast?" A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Zhanfei's face, "I remember that your sword is a women's sword, right?" You just cast it, it just so happened that Mu Li came today, is this also a kind of fate, big brother, you gave this sword to Mu Li,"

When Liu Muli heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at him expectantly.

Although she also practiced swordsmanship, she was not proficient in swordsmanship. However, she still hoped that she could get a sword of the Lu family. If she had such a sword, her reputation and status would definitely rise to a new stage, and the impact of that incident would be minimized.

After all, everyone knows how strict the Lu family's conditions for choosing a buyer are. If she is recognized by the Lu family, who else dares to question her character?

It's a pity that Lu Zhanhong refused.

He stared at Liu Muli up and down for a while, and said, "No, you don't match my sword at all!" ”

Liu Muli's face stiffened slightly, but he defended himself: "I don't see the sword, you say that I don't match the sword, this is too arbitrary, right?" ”

Lu Zhanhong looked at her disapprovingly and shook his head and said, "The sword I built myself, I naturally understand what kind of person my sword is suitable for, but you can't." Even if the sword reaches your hand, it will only be a pearl in the dust. I'm not going to let my hard work go to waste. ”

Liu Muli's good face couldn't support it, and his face sank slightly.

In fact, it is not that there are swords that are better than the Lu family's swords, and even the swords in her space are peerless famous swords, and they definitely don't have to be inferior to the Lu family's swords. Therefore, what she wants is not the sword cast by Lu Zhanhong, or the influence represented by the three words "Lu Jiajian".

"Since this sword is not suitable for me, then forget it, I can't force people to make it difficult. However, I still hope to buy a sword at the Lu family, money is not a problem, and my qualifications are not bad, I believe that there is always a sword that suits me. Liu Muxi still decided to take a step back, anyway, all she wanted was the name of the Lu family sword, no matter which sword it was, it was actually the same for her.

When Lu Zhanhong heard this, the smile on his face suddenly faded, and he even looked at her a little colder, but he just looked at Lu Zhanfei and said, "So, do you still want me to give her the sword?" She doesn't know how to use swords, so how can she love my baby. ”

Lu Zhanfei looked at Liu Muli with some embarrassment, and then looked at his eldest brother, and then said cautiously: "Big brother, Mu Li really wants to buy our Lu family's sword, so you can be accommodating and let her."
