The next morning, in Xinyang Town, the first day of the fourth lunar month, the lantern curtains still hanging high on the square were still telling the noise and celebration of last night, and the air on both sides of the street was rippling with a faint fragrance of early summer acacia flowers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In a certain room on the second floor of the Rongshui Inn, the morning breeze gently pushed open the unclosed window door and sent the first sunny greeting of the beginning of summer. Bright light quickly filled every corner of the room, driving away the cold and darkness of the previous night, and playfully poking at the cheeks of the girl on the bed.

This slightly stronger morning light than before kept intruding on Lin Xinyin's closed eyes for half a moment, melting her dreams little by little. In her sleep, she gradually felt the unusual warmth and itching from her cheeks, and this subtle feeling of discomfort awakened her sleeping consciousness and gradually returned her spirit to reality.

She swung her eyelashes a few times, barely opening her eyes, but the world in front of her was still blurry and chaotic. She subconsciously moved her left finger a few times to make sure that her body was no longer asleep, so she slowly raised her still heavy left hand, straightened her fingers and gently brushed her cheeks to sweep away the uncomfortable itch. Between the light touches, she felt an extremely smooth touch from her fingertips; At the same time, there was also a faint fragrance wafting into her nose, which made her suddenly feel relaxed and happy, and her vision gradually became clearer.

Curious, she moved her left hand that had wiped her cheek to her eyes, and saw the little white that was sticking to her fingers.

By the way, this is hosta powder. She remembered. Her mind began to work like a sophisticated machine that had just woken up, except that her memories of last night were still stuck in the small boat on the docks outside town. But now it's the oppressive narrow ceiling, not the boundless sky; I can't hear the sound of gurgling water around, and I can't smell the unique smell of the Rongjiang River; The soft touch underneath her made her realize that she was lying on a mattress, not on the damp, hard planks.

…… Where is this?

She strained herself to half of her body in a daze, bent one knee, and felt some fabric slowly slip off her body, taking away some of the warmth from her body, making her shudder suddenly. She looked down and saw that it was indeed a quilt that had slid up to her waist, and she was indeed lying on the bed. Surprised, she hurriedly looked up and looked around carefully, and finally recognized that it was in her room at the Rongshui Inn, and then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

…… How did you get back?

She had no impression of this at all. But she soon guessed that Liu Qianli should have brought her back! As for how to get it, is it moving? Is it dragging? Is it back? Still is...... Embrace? She just thought for a while and then shivered, didn't dare to think further, and quickly turned over and got out of bed. Because she has more important things to do, so still has time to think about the little details that don't matter?

She hurriedly bent down to put on her shoes and socks, and then got up and took a step. After only a few quick steps, she felt a slight soreness in her legs. It seems that last night's sword dance moves were too intense. However, she is in good spirits now, perhaps because she has rarely had a good night's sleep!

However, there is still a slight itch on my face. I fell asleep last night without removing my makeup, but fortunately I didn't apply rouge before, otherwise the sticky feeling of the oil would make her even more uncomfortable.

She walked over to the high shelf holding the basin and saw that it was already filled with water. She didn't care if it was yesterday's overnight water, so she picked up the towel next to her and soaked it in the water, then scooped it up and wrung it out, and then spread it out and applied it to her face.

Immediately, there was a cool and cool dampness that moistened every inch of skin on his face, driving away all uncomfortable feelings and making him more awake. She wiped her face up and down vigorously with a wet towel, and for a moment she seemed to smell a special smell of different aromas mixed together, but soon she sank into a deep pool and could not find a trace.

She took off the towel and looked at it, only to find that it was covered with black, pink stains.

Uh, did your face get dirtier after being wiped like this?

Hurry up, continue to soak in water, wring out, and wipe again! Especially the inked eyebrows! And cream-coated lips!

Back and forth several times until the wet towel could no longer bring any more color.

Last night, Liu Qianli only put light makeup on her, so in a few moments, all the lead flowers melted into the water.

After washing, through the muddy and rippling basin water, she could no longer see the gorgeous but unfamiliar face of last night. But she preferred the simple but familiar appearance of the present, so she lifted her hands lightly, took off the lotus-shaped silver crown from her bun, and carefully laid it out on the table, without the slightest attachment.

When the cicada-like light crown silver filaments trembled slightly, she first removed the hairband that tied the swallowtail, and then pulled out the knotted hairpins buried deep in the sideburns, and placed them next to the corolla one by one. With the last hairpin gone, the hairstyle, which had been slightly messy, was even more crumbling like a pavilion in the desert. With her head tilted sideways, she only straightened her fingers and cut them into the sideburns, and then slowly slid them in the direction of the ends of her hair, without feeling any resistance, and the long silky hair that had been twisted into several strands yesterday spiraled briskly with the passage of her fingertips. When the last inch of the hair stopped dancing, the long satin-like hair was once again draped on the back, almost to the waist.

Then, again, she tied her long hair quickly and simply with a plain band. She's getting more and more proficient at it.

It's just that she smelled a slight wet and fishy smell when she was stroking her long hair. Maybe it's the traces left by the river water last night when it wetted the black silk! Since last night, it has been hidden between the aroma of those trancil powders, and now it is not particularly bad and thick, but when you think about it, it seems that you haven't washed your hair in several days......

But where is the time to shampoo now? Especially this long hair is really troublesome to take care of, Lin Xinyin thinks from time to time whether it is better to cut it into short hair directly with Ye Mei Sword. However, this long hair is also incredibly high-quality, almost experiencing rough neglect and leaving it to its own devices, but still maintaining its original sparkle. At this moment, she suddenly remembered that Ling Yueyuan valued this long hair more than herself, and she laughed unconsciously. There seemed to be a situation in her mind where Ling Yueyuan accused herself of poor care, so she shook her head helplessly and muttered to herself, as if she was soothing the long waterfall hair that had been wronged: I will be in a hurry in a while, and I will talk about it when I go to Yuepu, ah?

Her package was still resting on the table, and next to it lay a Longquan sword that seemed to be sleeping.

Lin Xinyin opened the package and was about to take out some change of clothes, but saw a delicate small brocade bag inside. She was a little impressed by this brocade bag, and after being stunned for a moment, she reached out and lifted it gently, and immediately felt an unusual heaviness.

She didn't have to look closely, she could guess the weight of the gold coins in the bag. She couldn't help frowning: Obviously I told Liu Qianli last night that I wanted to divide it equally, what are you doing? She didn't like the feeling of being given special care, which reminded her that she was being treated this way because of something about herself...... She hated it, as if she was being given a handout.

I'll talk about it when I go out to find him. She wanted to take off this light gauzy and beautiful dress first. It was fashionable to dance on stage last night and felt that this dress was light and flexible, and now she thought that it would be too conspicuous to go out in this way, so she quickly removed the shirt and half sleeves on her body one by one, until the close-fitting bandeau remained.

The room was brightly lit, making her feel insecure like never before, and she turned her head to look at the window, only to notice that the door had been blown open by the wind at some point. It was a window facing the outside of the inn, and if you just ran over and closed the door, you might be in danger of running out at any time. She didn't want to waste any more time putting on her saree again, so be it. So, she went straight to wear those coarse cloth collared dresses from before.

It will be done in a short time, just like the elegant and plain farm decoration in the past, at least, on the surface.

Lin Xinyin dressed up, packed her things, put the package on her back, and hurriedly walked to the direction of the door with the Longquan Sword in her hand. She is in good spirits now, and it seems that it is right to have a good night's rest, at least she is now confident that she can gallop to Yuepu today. In that case, it should be able to catch up with Ling Yueyuan's footsteps, right?

She pushed open the door, crossed the threshold, stepped into the corridor and turned her head to look, but saw that the door of Liu Qianli's room next door to the right was closed, and she couldn't hear the slightest sound. After a moment's hesitation, she walked over and knocked on the door, but received no response.

Isn't he in the room? Lin Xinyin was about to call out "Qianli", but suddenly heard a louder and louder "knock" and "squeak" sound at the far right end of the corridor, near the stairs, as if many people were stepping on the stairs and hurriedly climbing to the second floor. Before she could turn her head to look, she heard a loud shout.

"Yo, isn't that Miss Lin, it's a coincidence, I just happened to meet here!"

Lin Xinyin seemed to be a little familiar when she heard this voice, but she couldn't recognize who it was for a while, and then she heard that the person seemed to recognize herself, so she turned around and looked towards the staircase, and saw several middle-aged and elderly women with bloated bodies walking towards her with a smile on their faces, and the old woman who was the leader was even more happy as if she saw the God of Wealth.

Uh, isn't that it, Lady Wang? Lin Xinyin remembered that it was the old woman who was in charge of registration when she signed up, and she asked herself a lot of questions, no wonder she knew her surname. It's just that before she could react, the princess smiled and jumped up to the front with a few steps, held her hands and chatted very affectionately and naturally, as if Lin Xinyin was her granddaughter who had not seen her for many years.

"Oh, why did Miss Lin suddenly disappear last night? I really want to annoy my wife! Miss Lin's sword dance, tsk, is really exciting! It's like a fairy from the sky! Oh oh, you didn't know that the whole audience last night was stunned by your dancing skills! ”

Lin Xinyin didn't know how many people were amazed by her sword dance last night, but she was really stunned by Wang Po's creepy enthusiasm at the moment. She immediately remembered the scene when she was asked by Wang Laobuar in Wuhua Town before, which made her subconsciously have a sense of crisis that she was going to be packaged and sold, and after being vigilant, she responded to the other party with a stiff expression and a smile: "There, there, it's ...... awarded."

She felt a greasy, moist and hot touch from the hands held by the other party, which made her extremely uncomfortable, and she quickly pushed her arms back, thinking that it would be better to withdraw her hands as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, this intention to retreat seemed to be detected by the other party, and she suddenly felt as if her hands were being grasped tighter by the other party, so that she could not break free after a few movements.

"Tut-tut, Miss Lin is really modest, not at all like some other vulgar women who don't know how to be polite......" Wang Po grabbed Lin Xinyin's hands and sighed meaningfully, it seems that every word Lin Xinyin says can become a reason for Wang Po to praise the other party. After sighing, Wang Po immediately put on a smile and said in a roundabout way: "By the way, Miss Lin must also know that this spirit girl competition is sponsored by the four big families of Zhao Qian, Sun and Li, right?" I wonder if Miss Lin knows the young master of the Qian family? ”

"Hmm......? I don't know. Lin Xinyin naturally didn't know who it was with whom, she tentatively twitched her hand again, but she didn't expect that the princess still held her hands firmly, as if she was afraid that she would fly away!

"Ah, it's the handsome and carefree boy sitting in the middle of the front row!" Wang Po prompted: "By the way, when Miss Lin performed the sword dance, he still stood up and cheered!" ”

"Oh? Oh......" Lin Xinyin didn't remember any handsome and carefree son-in-law sitting in the front row, in fact, she didn't care about this at all. What's more, in the desperate need of body and mind to dance last night, she didn't even care if there was anyone sitting in the front row. But she remembered that when she collected the sword, the flying sword that escaped almost pierced a man standing not far from the stage, could it be that the fool who almost lost his life was Young Master Qian?

So, could it be that his fatal mistake was discovered last night? Lin Xinyin was shocked in her heart, but then she overturned this idea. She remembered that the fool clapped and cheered so much last night, and he was still screaming until she retreated backstage, how could he have noticed her mistake. So, another possibility immediately sprouted in her mind, and she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming from behind, poking her back cold, and her face changed.

"yes, Miss Lin, do you remember? Speaking of which, the reward for this event is fully funded by Young Master Qian! Giggling...... "Wang Po's laughter was like an old hen screaming, but when she saw Lin Xinyin's expression change from dazed to epiphany, she decided that the other party finally remembered Young Master Qian, the big financier, and regardless of his wishes, she gushed excitedly: "Heheha, this Qian family is the leading giant family in Xinyang Town; This young master Qian is also a well-known talent in this town, chic and extraordinary, graceful, sincere and single-minded...... It just so happened that Miss Lin was so talented and beautiful, docile and docile, and the old woman liked Miss Lin very much since she saw her for the first time, and she was also very optimistic about Miss Lin......

“…… What exactly are you trying to say? Lin Xinyin's face began to become ugly, and her hands immediately flicked hard, and she finally escaped from the clutches of Wang Po.

"Huh...... Miss Lin looks really anxious! Hehe......" The princess laughed a few times playfully, and she didn't know if she would be wrong, or if she didn't care if Lin Xinyin wanted to or not. She should have noticed the strength of Lin Xinyin's withdrawal of her hand and her unsightly face, but she still smiled and explained her intentions: "Actually, it was Young Master Qian who fell in love with Miss Lin's talent and morality, and specially asked the old woman to come to the matchmaker!" It is also hard for Miss Lin to be single and wandering outside, if it is inconvenient to settle down in this Xinyang Town, and then marry Young Master Qian for a hundred years, and achieve a great joy in life, wouldn't it be beautiful......"

As she spoke, the princess stretched out the index fingers of her two hands and touched them lightly, making a gesture to pull the string, and looked at Lin Xinyin happily.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that. And I'm still in a hurry, so I'll give way. As soon as Lin Xinyin saw Wang Po's two wrinkled fingers touching each other, she suddenly shook her body, as if she had been touched by electricity. She replied with a calm face, and then took a step forward, ready to act.

"Huh? is the so-called male should get married, and the female should be married, why doesn't Miss Lin mean that? Seeing that Lin Xinyin was not moved, Wang Po hurriedly stepped forward to block the way, and continued to persuade bitterly: "What's good about a girl's house always wandering outside?" You should always find a good place to marry, and teach your husband and children with peace of mind! A prominent family like the Qian family, it really can't be found with a lantern! With that, Wang Po shouted to the back for support: "Isn't it! ”

"Yes, yes!" After a chaotic noise, the fat old women behind Wang Po rushed forward with chatter, babbling about how good this Qian family was, how comfortable it was to marry in, and how cost-effective it was to be a concubine; Others cited the example of white sugar to prove that what they said was true, while the rest counted the valuable dowries in their hands to Lin Xinyin.

"Say no more! Besides, I'm not even sixteen years old......! As soon as Lin Xinyin heard someone say that she wanted her to be a concubine, her face turned black on the spot. She was now numb from the repeated bombardment of this group of eight women, and she couldn't wait to leave, but she expected that the corridor on the second floor was too narrow, and the other party only needed two and a half women sideways to completely block her way.

"Huh? This age is the time to talk about marriage! Some earlier girls got married at the age of fourteen! I gave birth to a baby at the age of fifteen! Miss Lin should think about it carefully, if you miss this village, you won't have this store! In the spirit of not giving up until the goal is achieved, Wang Po seized any opportunity to spray saliva, and she didn't seem to have the intention of letting the other party think about it, and at the same time she directly led the meaty mountain of teachers and milk groups behind her to approach Lin Xinyin step by step, almost as if she wanted to crush the other party to the ground and force her to comply.

"No, no......" As soon as Lin Xinyin heard that she had a baby or something, her whole body trembled. She finally found out that this group of matchmakers was simply unreasonable. She had already clearly refused, and even raised the Longquan Sword and blocked it in front of her, thinking of rushing left and right to rush forward, but instead she was forced back a few steps one after another by these fearless old women.

"Hey, hey, hey! I see, Miss Lin is actually just shy, right? Fearless! Sooner or later, such life events have to be faced, it is always better to come early and come later, and now there are many more choices at a young age, if you wait until you are old, it is for others to choose! So! Promise to be as soon as possible, good things should be taken early, you see, you see...... The dowry prepared by Young Master Qian is very rich! Wang Po shrieked a few times, and simply turned a blind eye to Lin Xinyin's true intentions.

The more she talked, the more excited she became, she suddenly thought of something, but in a blink of an eye, she laughed and said, "Miss Lin's hometown is ...... Are you from Namashui or Lishui? Ah, is Miss Lin worried that she won't know about her parents, so it's not good to accept it immediately? Although most of the children's marriages must be completed with the consent of their parents, but ah, the distance during this period is so far, it is really inconvenient to go back and forth to propose marriage, and this family affair is also a great thing, presumably Miss Lin's parents will not object! Therefore, why don't you agree to this first, as for these dowry gifts...... By the way, the man who accompanied the stage last night was Miss Lin's cousin, right? In this way, this dowry will be accepted by him first, and then this family affair can be decided! ”

"What......?" Lin Xinyin couldn't cry or laugh: Is this the bullshit way to propose? It's like placing a deposit to pick up the goods as soon as possible! Besides, my parents will definitely oppose it! After thinking in her heart for a few seconds, she decided not to reason with this group of unreasonable matchmakers. All their words were heard by Lin Xinyin, and after all the verbosity was filtered out, all that came into their ears was the buzzing sound of flies, "Get married!" Get married! and other keywords, and then after her thinking changed, it all became "sell it!" Sell it! "Wait, so what else is there to say? It's better to hurry up and get lucky!

But Lin Xinyin's breakthrough was difficult. There were five or six sizable old women in front of her, and she felt dizzy just by listening to their noisy and chaotic words, and even more headache when she saw them squeezing the narrow corridor sideways. In between this push and push, she even had the illusion that the floor of the corridor was sinking, and it was no wonder that these fat women squeaked the stairs when they went upstairs!

At the right time, Lin Xinyin was still standing in front of Liu Qianli's room door, but now instead of taking an inch, she was forced by them to retreat again and again, and after a few steps, she almost retreated to her room. She tried a few times and found that she couldn't break through the unreasonable flesh wall in front of her, her strength was limited, and her heart eye was useless in this narrow space where the way was blocked.

She didn't have the pupil technique like Ling Yueyuan to make these meatballs roll aside obediently, nor did she have the brute force like Ouyang Xiaoyi to knock them away one by one, and she didn't have the body technique like Liu Qianli to climb over the guardrail and float down the hall on the first floor safely. Not far behind her, there was a wall at the far left end of the hallway, and it was almost to the point where there was no way back. And now she is also distracted by the other party's noise, and she can't calm down and think about the problem at all.

After having to take a few more steps back, when Lin Xinyin suddenly caught a glimpse of the "Night Dew" label hanging on the wall, she realized that she had been forced to retreat to her room. Then let's hurry back to this shelter first! So, without hesitation, she activated the pupil technique, and in this moment of silence, she immediately turned and opened the door, retreated into the room, and then closed and locked the door again.

Looking at the room where she was alone, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after less than a moment of peace, there was a commotion and knocking outside the door, mixed with many unrelenting calls, which sounded like haunting ghosts howling, even though it was daytime.

"Miss Lin, are you in there? Think about it again......"

"Don't miss the opportunity, don't miss it again, don't wait for me ...... time"

"Marry early, marry early, marry late and don't settle down......"

Lin Xinyin, who was standing behind the door, was so dizzy that her eyes were faint when she heard it. She looked at the door that had been banged and slammed, and was really afraid that it would be smashed to the ground by the group of wolf-like old women outside, so she hurried a few steps away before speaking. After calming down a little, she began to think of a way out.

However, then again, didn't Liu Qianli hear such a big movement in the corridor outside the door? Maybe he really wasn't in the room, then, where did he go?

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Liu Qianli was not in the room a long time ago, and Lin Xinyin was still asleep at that time.

He stood on the bank of the Rongjiang River outside the Rongshui Inn, his eyes swept across the magnificent river, looking at the stacked mountains in the distance. After a while, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the fresh air by the river in the early morning, seriously feeling the sunlight pouring on his body warming little by little.

After a long time, Liu Qianli opened his eyes and saw that the sky had become clear, and the sails of the morning ships had begun to flutter on the river, and he estimated that the time was almost up, and perhaps it was time for the ferry pier to reopen. So, he raised his hand and touched the Adam's apple in his throat, coughed lightly, felt that he was well recovered, and turned back to the inn.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard a female voice behind him and stopped him.

"Childe, please stay ......"

When Liu Qianli heard this, he stopped, turned around and looked back, and saw a beautiful woman dressed in fashionable clothes walking slowly towards him.

This is the one? Liu Qianli carefully looked at the visitor for a while, and always felt that this appearance seemed to be a little familiar. He recalled for a while, and remembered that when he took a curtain call with Lin Xinyin on stage last night, the woman sitting in the center of the front row of the theater seemed to be her. The reason why he was quite impressed was because when Young Master Qian stood up and applauded, the vacated seat was quite conspicuous, and on either side of that place, a fat middle-aged man and another young delicate woman also attracted his attention.

Since this woman is sitting next to Young Master Qian, her relationship must not be ordinary. But what would she be here for? Liu Qianli thought about it, but still smiled and said hello first: "Good morning, this girl." I don't know what to do with Xiaosheng Liu Qianli? ”

"The concubine's surname is Bai Mingtang, and I have seen Liu Gongzi." The woman said a thousand blessings, reported to herself, and said politely: "I listened to Liu Gongzi's playing and singing last night, and my skills are profound, and I am quite impressed. ”

"Hehe, fur skills, what a lot of care, it's really a prize." Liu Qianli looked at Bai Sugar with a smile, waiting for her to explain the original intention of her visit.

"Well, the women's sword dance that Liu Gongzi accompanied last night was also very exciting. I believe that I have been preparing for this event for a long time, right? White Sugar asked tentatively.

"Yes, indeed." Liu Qianli probably heard a little taste, so he took over the conversation unceremoniously and said: "I have been preparing for three months, and the practice during this period is really hard, but fortunately, God finally rewarded me for my hard work and gained something." ”

"Three months!" Bai Sugar really didn't expect to be prepared for so long, could it be that he was prepared for a certain purpose in the first place? However, she still continued to probe in doubt: "I see that you should be from other places, could it be that you already know about the Heavenly Spirit Sacrifice Spirit Maiden Tournament here?" ”

"Well, I've heard of it. In the past few years, I have been to Xinyang Town a few times, so I know a little about the Heavenly Spirit Festival. Therefore, I prepared in advance to win more laurels in one fell swoop. Liu Qianli smiled and said eloquently.

"I see. However, the reward of this spirit girl event is indeed rich, so there have always been many contenders, is the purpose of you practicing so hard for this reward......? As he spoke, Bai Sugar's heart began to pound.

"Not exactly. For me, though, it's all about the money. Liu Qianli pretended to say this with a serious face, without the slightest look of embarrassment.

Bai Tang looked at the handsome man in front of him in surprise, unabashedly showing his money worship, and he couldn't speak. However, instead of trying to guess their intentions with those hypocrites, she likes this kind of person who clearly states her position and preferences, which is just what she likes and easy to trade.

And at this moment, there was a sudden sound of chirping and laughter from the entrance direction of the inn. Liu Qianli looked curiously and saw several obese old women flocking into the inn, and several of them were carrying large bags of gifts. Before he could react, he heard the white sugar sigh behind him.

"Here comes the proposer."

"Propose?" Liu Qianli was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to himself: "I see...... But I don't know which family it is? ”

"I think Liu Gongzi is also an understanding person, so why pretend to be stupid?" Bai Tang glanced at Liu Qianli sadly, and after a moment of silence, he glared at the other party's eyes and said seriously: "Actually, you are not the cousin of the woman surnamed Lin at all, right?" ”

Liu Qianli and Bai Tang looked at each other, but they didn't have the slightest surprised expression. He only told Young Master Qian last night that he was Lin Xinyin's cousin, it seems that this white sugar must be the wife and concubine of Young Master Qian, and she still came to visit after making enough preparations, as for the purpose, he can probably guess a thing or two, so he nodded silently.

"As I expected." Bai Tang sighed heavily again, then turned his head to look at the quiet Rongjiang, put on a sad face, self-love and self-pity and said to himself: "The so-called wealthy family is as deep as the sea, but I don't know if she knows it?" ”

"That's it. No one knows the depth if they don't jump in. Liu Qianli didn't cooperate with Bai Sugar's sad appearance at all, but joked heartlessly.

"When you jump in, you're really stuck in the mud, and it's hard to get out." White sugar looks like a passerby. She took a few detailed glances at Liu Qianli's expression that seemed to be indifferent, and decided to ruthlessly expose the other party's disguise: "Actually, Liu Gongzi doesn't have to pretend to be so free. I can see that. Your affection for that woman is very deep, but for some reason you have to bury it deep in your heart, and hide it with superficial cynicism...... Am I right? ”

"Hehe......" Liu Qianli listened to it and laughed a few times, but he was noncommittal.

"I still know a lot about this kind of thing." Bai Tang seemed to be very confident in her ability to guess people's hearts, and then said with emotion: "The concubine believes that only the feelings that are not connected with the mundane things in the world are the most sincere and pure feelings. Isn't this kind of true love a beautiful picture that can be sung and cried? Isn't it worth pursuing and having? ”

"Well, it's beautiful." Liu Qianli responded with a smile: "However, Xiaosheng doesn't want to starve to death on the side of the street with a beautiful painting." ”

"Oops......" Bai Tang began to frown, thinking to himself, how could this handsome man be so vulgar? She turned to point to the horizon and continued to enlighten Liu Qianli: "Just like the birds flying by in the sky, it is the most beautiful thing to be able to pursue happiness and love freely like them, isn't it?" ”

Birds? Liu Qianli didn't seem to be right when he heard the bird's call, and then looked up, but saw that it was clearly a crow flying across the sky. When did love become so dark?

However, when he saw Bai Sugar's very intoxicated appearance, he also learned to sigh and said, "That's what he said." However, Xiaosheng has no wings and only two legs. That being the case, naturally only dare to pursue the happiness that can be chased on two legs, and dare not speak of the love that can only be chased with wings. ”

Bai Tang laughed when he heard this: "The reward for this event is quite rich, as much as twenty gold, isn't it enough to achieve a pair of wings?" ”

"Yes, but the wings aren't on me." Liu Qianli responded with a smile.

White sugar was clever enough to hear the implications. In fact, that's the purpose of her visit this morning. So, she smiled meaningfully: "That is the case, the concubine is not talented, how about preparing a pair of wings for Liu Gongzi?" With that, she took out a small brocade bag and handed it to Liu Qianli.

Liu Qianli took the brocade bag, and after a little weighing, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim: Good guy, he didn't lose the weight of last night's reward. This young master Qian is also really generous to women.

"What does Liu Gongzi think?" Bai Tang looked at Liu Qianli's slightly surprised expression, and knew that it was about to be completed, so he continued to pursue with the victory: "In this way, the son can fly with the woman, and return to the ......."

"Hmm." Liu Qianli put away the brocade bag and said with a smile: "Thank you." Please rest assured, Xiao Sheng will do everything he can to lure her away after a while, and never come back here. ”

"Huh. Then I wish you all a smooth journey. Bai Tang finally laughed happily, and after saying goodbye, he stood there and watched Liu Qianli turn away. But she has no plans to leave immediately for the time being, because she still wants to confirm the final result.

……

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

Lin Xinyin was hiding in her room at the moment, listening to the knock on the door outside, although it was silent, it was replaced by a noisy voice. Are these old women going to block the door like this?

She paced back and forth and thought about it for a while, and then came up with a few ideas. The first way is to climb out of this rather large window. The street was outside the window, and the second floor was not high from the ground, so if you wanted to be safer, you could twist the sheet into a rope for you to climb down. It's just that she always feels like she's running away from something, and it doesn't seem like she has to do this step yet!

Of course, you can also simply pull out the Longquan Sword and rush out directly, just with this bright and long sword body, at least you should be able to scare out a way! However, she had the experience of taking off the long sword last night, and she was also worried that if one of the people at the scene accidentally lost control, and at close range she didn't have time to activate the pupil technique, resulting in injury to the innocent, it would be troublesome.

So, why not consider another option? She had observed that this room was not as narrow as the corridor outside, so she could directly open the door and lead the group of eight women into the room, as long as they were scattered in this room without blocking the way out, then she could run out quickly with the help of the pupil technique! Anyway, as long as she gets to the open space, then no one can stop her!

After making up her mind, Lin Xinyin was about to act, but suddenly heard a familiar voice floating from the window.

"Huh? Does that girl who seems to be in trouble need help? ”

Lin Xinyin looked in the direction of the sound in surprise, and saw Liu Qianli with his arms crossed on the edge of the window, half-tilting his head and smiling at him from the window. He was dangling in the air, clinging to the window with only his arms, but his expression was as relaxed as walking on the ground.

"Chirito? Are you out there all the time? No wonder you didn't respond to the knock on the door. Seeing this, Lin Xinyin hurriedly approached the window. She looked at Liu Qianli's relaxed appearance, and suddenly envied: if she also had his light skills, she could jump out of the window directly and land steadily.

"Well, I've been out of the room for a long time." Liu Qianli saw that Lin Xinyin had already changed her clothes, wrapped her back and was still holding the Longquan Sword, so she asked, "Xinyin is ready?" Are you leaving? ”

"I want to go...... Lin Xinyin glanced at the door in embarrassment: "But there is a group of people blocking the road outside that door." ”

"Oh?" Liu Qianli also looked at the door curiously, but after a while, he smiled and said, "Are they those eight women who came to the door to propose marriage?" ”

Lin Xinyin was stunned for a moment: "You know? ”

"Guess. But it's right to think about it, why is Young Master Qian willing to donate twenty gold rewards alone? Maybe he thinks it's a gift money. Liu Qianli blinked a few times while speaking, and the mischievous and relaxed tone seemed to be just telling a joke that had nothing to do with him: "Then again, this is actually quite polite." When I was in Ganzhou, I also saw the unsightly gentleman send someone to snatch the beautiful Hua Dan into the flower bridge and carry it back to the house directly......"

“…… What is this? For Lin Xinyin, she was so depressed that she couldn't help but be deflated: "If that's the case, then return this bounty, and save people from misunderstanding." ”

"Xinyin's words are not right. This money is hard-earned, not stolen and cheated. If people are willing to misunderstand, it is up to him to misunderstand. There are some things, the more you describe it, the more you explain it, the more people misunderstand! Liu Qianli was still in a good mood and was chatting with Lin Xinyin by the window, and he didn't seem to notice the other party's anxious face: "Anyway, as long as the result is what you want, isn't it?" As for the process, whatever? ”

"Can you leave it alone? Now the result is that I'm stuck in the room! Lin Xinyin looked at Liu Qianli, who was not nervous at all, and stomped her feet angrily, and was about to say her plan to get out, but she was interrupted by Liu Qianli before she could say anything.

"Oh, by the way, I still have to go back to the room to pack my things first, Xinyin will wait for me, and I'll come to you later." When Liu Qianli was about to leave, he didn't forget to remind Lin Xinyin with a smile: "Summer is coming, Xinyin should close the doors and windows at night, pay attention to mosquitoes, insects and perverts!" ”

After that, Liu Qianli kicked his toes against the wall, let go of his arms, straightened his body and flicked back, but it was as light as a leaf held up by a gust of wind, and it fell to the ground after a while.

"Huh?" Lin Xinyin reacted after a while, hurried close to the window, looked down at the window, and saw that Liu Qianli had already leisurely walked into the door of the inn.

But she didn't know how long she would have to wait, and she always felt that every second she was trapped in this room was spent in torment.

I don't know how long it took, but she felt that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she decided to do it her own way. As she walked to the door, she suddenly noticed that the voices outside seemed to have disappeared at any point.

Are they all gone? That's even better! Lin Xinyin was overjoyed, but she still walked to the back of the door gently, put her ear close to the door, and was thinking about carefully listening to the movement outside the door, but unexpectedly there was a knock on the door at this time.

The knock on the door was very soft, but it sounded so suddenly that it frightened her heart, and she quickly jumped back a few steps.

At the same time, the sound of talking resounded outside the door, but it was Liu Qianli's voice.

"Xinyin, open the door, it's me."

When Lin Xinyin heard this, she was relieved, and quickly opened the door to take a look, and saw that it was Liu Qianli standing outside. As she was about to speak, she also noticed that the grandmothers were lying or lying in the corridor outside the door. She suddenly looked at Liu Qianli in surprise: "This ......?" They......? ”

"Oh, it's fine, just let them sleep a little." Liu Qianli had also prepared his bags at this time, and said casually: "Okay, Xinyin, let's go, I just saw a boat cruising on the riverside, and it is estimated that there should be a boat crossing at this moment." ”

"Okay, okay." Lin Xinyin hurriedly crossed the threshold, carefully stepping over the unconscious women on the floor of the corridor, for fear that one would accidentally wake them up.

After walking a few steps, Lin Xinyin suddenly remembered what happened to Liu Qianli lying outside the window just now, so she asked puzzledly: "Qianli, why don't you just walk out of my room just now, why waste time by taking a detour?" She thought that if Liu Qianli wanted to make the group of eight women sleep anyway, she could still open the door.

"Get out of your room...... If you want to be seen by that group of eight women, it's not very good. Liu Qianli responded with a smile.

"Oh......" Lin Xinyin listened and thought, she seemed to understand a little, and she didn't understand it very well. Uh, forget it, don't think about it.

She followed Liu Qianli down the stairs, and after quickly settling the bill at the front desk, she went out of the inn and took the horse, so she couldn't wait to turn over and get on the horse, raised the reins and shouted, and immediately rode the horse forward.

Liu Qianli didn't expect Lin Xinyin to be in such a hurry to leave, so he hurriedly rode on horseback. When he got on the horse, he also glanced back at the bank of the Rongjiang River outside the inn, and sure enough, he saw the white sugar that was still standing in place and waiting. So, he sent a smile and a nod to the other person, indicating that everything was in order.

Standing in the distance, Bai Sugar quickly caught the good news and smiled happily. She felt that the huge sum of money was definitely well spent. This time, she was finally able to go back with peace of mind. As for whether there will be other opponents in the future, she doesn't care, because at this moment, she has successfully strangled in the cradle what she judged to be the greatest threat in this life.

……

"Xinyin, isn't the ferry terminal close to here? Why gallop on horseback? After a while, Liu Qianli, who had already ridden to the square, asked Lin Xinyin beside him.

"Huh......?" Lin Xinyin thought that she was still going to the pier outside the town to take the ferry, but she also found that the dock in the town was gathering many boats and boats, large and small, could it be that the ferry pier here was reopened? But...... When did this open?

"It seems that the pier here can also cross the river by boat, Xinyin, let's go." Liu Qianli slowed down the galloping horse's hooves, ready to dismount and walk at any time.

"Uh-huh." Lin Xinyin turned the horse's head and rode slowly in the direction of the town's dock. After a while, she said to Liu Qianli: "Qianli, didn't last night's reward say that it should be divided equally?" ”

"Oh, this one...... Hey. Liu Qianli secretly laughed a few times, looked at Lin Xinyin and said seriously: "Actually, I took another job this morning, and this job requires me to cooperate with you to be competent." The reward is also quite generous, not much worse than last night's reward. And now I've received all of the pay, so in this way, it can be said that we have done two things together, and we have already shared the pay. ”

"What work? Me and you? Done ......? Lin Xinyin was inexplicable and didn't know what to say: "What ......?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Qianli's expression suddenly became very serious, as if he was burdened with a heavy responsibility to risk his life at any time: "The content of this work is, abduction. ”

"Abduction?" Lin Xinyin heard it even more like a cloud: "Who is abducted?" ”

"You." Liu Qianli's eyes looked at Lin Xinyin so unswervingly, and his tone was solemn and not blasphemous, as if he was swearing to the sky.
