Xicheng is very large, and a street is full of hawkers, bustling, so lively. The houses on both sides are neat and tidy, and there are countless restaurants and shops, which are not much different from the main city.

Lou Xiaoyue wore a hat and led a horse slowly walked in from the city gate. On horseback, Hua Jiu lay listlessly, pinching the ears of the two horses tightly with both hands, and it seemed that the fact of fainting the horse had not changed. Things in this world are always unpredictable, just like she saw Lou Xiaoyue running some time ago, but now it's the opposite.

When passing by the door of a shop, Lou Xiaoyue suddenly stopped and walked straight inside. It turned out to be a small shop selling clothes, and the shopkeeper saw someone coming and hurriedly greeted him.

"What kind of fabric do you want to buy?"

Lou Xiaoyue didn't look at him, looked around by herself, and finally fell on a red tulle coat.

The shopkeeper saw what he thought, and immediately took it and said: "Objective good vision, this silk tulle coat is the best sold in the store, and its fabric is also the best ......" Before he finished speaking, he threw away a silver ingot, and then picked up the clothes and walked out, leaving the shopkeeper staring at the white silver in his hand with bright eyes, thinking, this objective is really generous.

Hua Jiu outside realized that the horse had stopped, raised his head dizzily, and as soon as he opened his eyes, a piece of clothing flew over with a 'whoosh' and was held in her arms.

"For me?" She looked at Lou Xiaoyue below with a little joy, and saw that he didn't speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, and she became even more excited. The Demon Sect Leader would actually buy clothes for himself? It's so wow, I never dreamed of it.

She looked at her clothes again and asked, "This fabric is expensive, isn't it?" "The clothes are very finely made, silky and comfortable to the touch, and they look like high-quality goods.

Lou Xiaoyue ignored her, picked up the horse and walked to a nearby inn, saying as she walked: "You have difficulty moving on your feet, just stay in the inn." ”

"Where are you going?" Hearing him say this, she said hurriedly, for fear that he would leave her behind.

He did not return to her, but in front of the inn, he stopped and lifted her off his horse, and then said to the shopkeeper inside, "One room." ”

"Are you going to leave me?" Hua Jiu's aggrieved eyes glanced over.

"If you follow me, I'll get in the way, so let's take care of my foot injury here for the time being." He said lightly, but she seemed to be afraid of encountering those who were chasing and killing again, so he handed her the long whip on his waist, "Take it for self-defense." ”

The black serpentine whip has a slender body with scales, each scale is very smooth and sharp around it, and it looks extremely sharp and lethal.

Hua Jiu was stunned, so much so that Lou Xiaoyue rode away after settling the account, and she reacted, only to see his majestic back left far away.

"Does the girl want to bathe? Or just go back to your room to rest? At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn came over, and saw that she was dirty all over, and the sleeves of her clothes were tattered, so he asked hesitantly.

Seeing his disgusted gaze, she lowered her head and looked at her clothes, sniffed them again, and immediately laughed awkwardly, and replied, "Hey, hey, let's go take a bath first." ”

"Girl, please upstairs."

After a long day of running, it's time to take a hot shower. Hua Jiu was lying in a wooden barrel, not to mention how much she enjoyed that expression, in order to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed when touched by water, she specially stretched her feet outside. However, the wound has already scarred, and I don't know what medicine Lou Xiaoyue applied to it, it was so fast, I couldn't get up last night, but it still hurts.

After she washed and changed into new clothes, it was already noon, and when she walked downstairs, she saw that many guests were already having lunch. Seeing her, the shopkeeper immediately ordered Xiao Er to prepare a meal.

Seeing a table, two little guards patrolling the street whispered softly and didn't know what they were communicating, and Hua Jiu sat down curiously.

"The beginning of next month is the birthday banquet of the lonely city lord, and I have been busy to death and tired these days."

"Isn't it, I haven't eaten properly since yesterday."

The two of them complained and pinched their shoulders, their faces full of grievances.

"Are you so tired from patrolling the streets?" Hua Jiu asked with a puzzled expression on his chin propped up.

The two of them first hesitated for a moment, not realizing when there was more people around, and then took a deep breath, and then replied: "Of course, it's not just as simple as patrolling the streets. In unison, I felt quite dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by that?"

One of them saw that Hua Jiu might be an outsider, and not long after entering Xicheng, he complained to her. "Our city lord will have a birthday banquet at the beginning of next month, and recently we will not only patrol the streets, but also look for opera troupes everywhere."

While they weren't paying attention, Hua Jiu grabbed a handful of peanut beans and stuffed them into his mouth, and then said: "Isn't that very simple, there are troupes everywhere, and they are generally found in restaurants." ”

The two glanced at each other and then said, "Girl, you don't know, there are many troupes in this troupe, but they are not satisfactory." ”

"Is the city lord picky?" Hearing this, her brows tightened, and she became stern.

The two shook their heads and said, "It's not the city lord who is picky, it's the county lord Luoling." Then he told her the ins and outs of this.

It turned out that it was not the city lord of Xicheng who was going to watch the play, but his daughter Gu Luoling. Gu Luoling has loved to listen to singing since she was a child, and this birthday banquet, she was also clamoring to find some opera troupes to sing, and it happened that Gu Biqiu loved her very much, so she relied on her and handed her full care.

But Gu Luoling is brutal and capricious, arrogant and domineering, and her vision is extremely high. According to the two guards, they had found no less than thirty singers to bring to her, but they still did not satisfy her.

"Lord Luo Ling said that she had to listen to a play she hadn't heard before, but she grew up listening to a play, and she hadn't heard any play."

"And every time we are not satisfied, they will punish us, saying that we are not doing our job well, and try to find some useless people to come."

What the two said was very helpless, and it was really sad for the listeners to shed tears and to hear the sadness. With that, the two of them rolled up their sleeves again, and suddenly revealed many whipped bruises, both new and old, and scarred in some places.

It was shocking to watch, Hua Jiu suddenly found that her little injury was actually nothing, and she was also very uneven at this time, which also made her secretly remember Gu Luoling. I didn't expect the daughter of the West City Lord to be so rude, people should be equal to each other, how could they be so whipped?

Seeing her expression, the two guards smiled, laughing at her for not seeing the world.

One of the guards said disapprehantly, "These are just minor injuries, and there are more on my back." But we are lucky, we only suffered some skin injuries, and I also heard that someone ......" Halfway through speaking, he suddenly stopped, looked around nervously, and then leaned into Hua Jiu's ear and whispered: "I heard that some people were taken to test poison by Lord Luoling." ”
