Chapter Eighty-Five: Crisis
When Xia Yuqian walked into Tianhuang City, the night was already dark, but the streets were still full of bustling pedestrians. Her stomach was grumbling with hunger, but she had nothing left on herβshe had gone in such a hurry that she had forgotten to accept the food and silver coins that the villagers had raised for her...... Along the way, she was racking her brains thinking about how she should open her mouth to Young Master Shaokun, because of the tax problems in the village over the years, the money she borrowed from him on behalf of the villagers was enough to buy a Hongshan Village!
While walking, Xia Yuqian felt more and more heavy, she really didn't know how to speak, the young master would definitely think that she was a person who was addicted to borrowing money and borrowing, and only relied on other people's alms to get by...... But after thinking about it, the young master is so open-minded, and besides, she is borrowing money for the villagers, the young master should be able to understand...... But suddenly I thought about what obligation the young master had to lend money to others all day long, and it was a bit too much for me to do this......
Xia Yuqian sighed heavily, her heart was in a hurry, and she suddenly felt a warm big hand patting her shoulder, she was startled, and when she looked back, it was Boss Mu!
"Boss Mu!" Xia Yuqian exclaimed in surprise.
"Long time no see, little girl. Mu Tianqing said enthusiastically with a grin.
"What about Zixin?" Xia Yuqian was now eager to see Mu Zixin, so as to ask her if she had seen the golden jade knife.
"Xiaoqian, you don't know yet, my family Zixin has been accepted as an apprentice by the sect leader!"
"Master?"
"That's right, Lord Ziyun Mountain. β
Xia Yuqian's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Mu Tianqing incredulously, "So powerful?"
"Haha, yes," Mu Tianqing looked at Xia Yuqian's shabby clothes and slender and thin body, "Xiaoqian, how did you get it? Why are you so haggard after not seeing you for a few days?
"No, I still ......"
"Let's go!" Mu Tianqing took her hand and walked into a shop selling clothes like a big boy.
He took Xia Yuqian to walk around the store for a long time, bought her the most expensive clothes, and specially asked the clerk to help her dress up, Xia Yuqian wanted to excuse herself, but he insisted: "Xiaoqian, you are too outward! You helped your uncle recover the goods last time, and you made such a great contribution, what's wrong with your uncle spending some money on you?"
"In the future, don't treat your uncle as an outsider, if you have any difficulties, just say it, and your uncle will help you decompose and decompose. Also, your sister Zixin is mixing well now, and if there is anything you need her help with in the future, you can just say it. β
"Where is Sister Zixin now?"
"She is resting in the inn, and she will go to Ziyun Mountain to report early tomorrow morning!"
"Shall I go see her, then? Just a little moment, I have something to ask her. Xia Yuqian looked at Mu Tianqing, who was choosing clothes on the side, and asked.
"Of course, let's go to dinner first, and Uncle will take you there after eating!" he said and compared a lovely turquoise dress to Xia Yuqian, and looked at it carefully for a long time before nodding with satisfaction, "Xiaoqian is really a little beauty when she dresses up well!"
Xia Yuqian lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "Uncle, in fact, you really don't have to spend so much, I just did what I should have done that day." β
"You don't have too much burden, my uncle used to be poor, and he relied on his own efforts to grow the business bigger step by step, and now that my uncle is rich, he should do what he can to help a kind child like Xiang Xiaoqian," Mu Tianqing sighed with a smile, "Although these things are insignificant, they may even be superfluous in your opinion." β
"No, no, I'm very happy!" Xia Yuqian hurriedly explained after hearing this, she changed into that beautiful dress, which seemed to be tailor-made for her, Mu Tianqing looked at her and praised her.
Xia Yuqian said to him very sincerely: "I also like to wear new clothes, and this dress is really beautiful." β
It began to drizzle in the sky, Mu Tianqing picked out a small green cloak for her, carefully helped her pull down the little hat to block the rain, and took her to the tavern to order a large table of delicious food, Xia Yuqian was hungry for several days, and when she saw that the table full of delicious saliva was about to flow out, she ate it without any image, and even forgot to take off the small hat on the cloak.
Mu Tianqing looked at her with some distress, and told her to eat slowly, not enough to scream, and a fatherly smile appeared on her face.
In the corner, several black-clothed people gathered together, secretly staring at Mu Tianqing and the girl in the cyan cloak beside him.
"That is Mu Tianqing!" one of them said to the black-clothed man led by him, "The one next to him should be his daughter Mu Zixin!"
"Are you sure?" The leader squinted at Xia Yuqian, who was eating Zhengxiang, but he heard that Mu Zixin was only ten years old, but judging from the back, the girl's size did not look like ten years old.
"Mu Tianqing is a wealthy businessman, looking at the clothes that the girl wears are not something that ordinary girls can wear, besides, how can a father come out alone to invite other people's girls to dinner?"
"Hmm......" The man in black nodded, as if he had made up his mind, "I'd rather kill by mistake than leave a fish that slips through the net!"
Xia Yuqian was nibbling on the chicken leg in her hand, and suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind her, after so many moments of life and death, she was extremely sensitive to this breath!
"Boss Mu be careful!" she was still chewing chicken in her mouth, but she pushed Mu Tianqing aside with her hand. In an instant, a silver light slashed the table in front of them.
Mu Tianqing fell to the ground and was frightened, and the surrounding guests were also frightened and fled when they saw this scene.
"Boss Mu, run!" Xia Yuqian saw that the group of people in black was coming towards them, she picked up Mu Tianqing and rushed out the door.
There were several silver lights behind her, Xia Yuqian turned around and blocked those attacks, and suddenly felt a pain in her arm, only to find that she was injured, she looked at them again, and remembered what Mu Tianqing said about Mu Zixin being accepted as an apprentice by the sect leader, and suddenly had a strong sense of crisis.
"Boss Mu, listen up, now go back immediately and take Zixin to Ziyun Mountain quickly! I'll hold them back!" Xia Yuqian pushed him out after giving the order, and at the same time locked the door of the tavern tightly, glaring at the gang of men in black.
Only then did the man in black realize that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was not Mu Zixin at all!
"She is probably inseparable from the Mu family and her daughter! Respect has an order, and all relevant personalities are killed!" As soon as the man in black shouted the order, his subordinates raised their knives and slashed Xia Yuqian.
Xia Yuqian swept sideways, cutting off the opponent's sword light and sword rain, she cut off a table leg, turned the sword into a sword, and teleported alone to block the dense attack of the man in black, dodging and sliding between the group of men in black, swinging the sword and slashing, the blood on the wooden sword flowed down from the tip to her hand.
Xia Yuqian looked at the sword in her hand but couldn't help but be shocked, this was the first time she had hurt someone since she practiced martial arts......
But when she looked up again, she found that the few people in black she had injured were only slightly injured, and there was no major problem, she immediately saw the situation clearly, and jumped out of the window in an instant.
