……

Because he had other things in mind, Mu Qiuhuang didn't stay long in Tingzhou City.

After eating Tan Bai Ming's reception banquet and routinely walking to the barracks accompanied by Tan Bai Ming, Mu Qiuhuang left Tingzhou City with Su Xiaoxiao, as for the 1,000 Blood Phoenix Banner sergeants and remnant clouds, they were all left in Tingzhou, but he still took the four ghosts with him.

……

……

After leaving Tingzhou City and passing through Yunxi City, they traveled all the way west. The reason why he traveled all the way west was because he set the final destination as the Xilie Marquis Mansion in the land of Qinlu. Originally, the last time he planned to attend the banquet of the Shangri Festival in Fengling City, he went directly to the Xilie Marquis Mansion to retire his relatives. Later, it was because he learned that Miss Ji was not in the mansion that he canceled the trip to Qinlu...... In the previous conversation with Li Taibai, he also learned that Ji Ruoxue should be on the way back to Xiliehou Mansion, so he planned to travel from north to west this time, and finally, completely solve the problem of his marriage contract with Miss Ji's family.

After traveling west for more than 20 days, they came to Qingcheng.

The reason why he came to Qingcheng, in addition to the fact that this is the only way to Qinlu, is also because Huang Ling Tan heard that Mo Bai, a swordsman from Shuzhong who is ranked eighth among the top ten masters in the world, is here. He said before that he wanted to get over the addiction of the knights of the rivers and lakes, and through the competition with the masters of the rivers and lakes, he would hone his skills. Who said, he wouldn't really be ready to find the top ten masters to knock on the door one by one like he had done to Su Xiao, but since he happened to meet him, he naturally had to have a good discussion.

……

Qingyunju is an inn, although its scale is much smaller than the inn that Mu Qiuhuang chartered during his time in Fengling City, but it is already the largest and best inn in Qingcheng.

And the information handed over by Huang Ling said that Mo Bai, a swordsman in Shuzhong, has been living in the Tianzi A room of Qingyunju for more than a month.

……

"Is the guest officer sharpening or staying in the hotel?"

As soon as Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao walked into the door of Qingyunju, a junior two diligently pasted it.

"Prepare some food for me first, pick up the best wine and food, and as for whether you live in the hotel, wait until we finish eating." Su Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Er.

After sending Xiao Er away, Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao found a table by the window and sat down.

Mu Qiuhuang glanced around, and found that Qingyunju has a total of three floors, and the decoration design is no different from that of a general inn, the first floor is a place for guests to eat, and the second and third floors are places to provide accommodation.

"Mo Bai, will this be at the inn?" Mu Qiuhuang asked in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be there, according to Huang Ling's intelligence, he goes out every day during the day and only comes back in the evening." Su Xiaodao.

"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang responded, and then asked, "According to the rules of your rivers and lakes, how should I compete with him?" ”

After picking up the teapot on the table and pouring a cup of tea for Mu Qiuhuang, Su Xiaoxiao said: "If it is a normal competition, the prince should first make a war letter, and after the other party responds to the battle, he must determine the time and place of the competition and a fair person, etc., but the other party can also choose to refuse to fight." ”

Mu Qiuhuang picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and after listening to Su Xiao's words, he asked in surprise, "So troublesome?" Even if you have to make an appointment for a time and place, and the other party can still refuse to fight? Then what should I do if Mo Bai refuses to fight? Could it be that the two of us have to run for nothing? ”

"Not really." Su Xiaoxiao knew that Mu Qiuhuang really didn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, so he went on to explain: "Xiaoxiaogang is talking about the rules of normal martial arts, and there is no need for a child like this. ”

"Oh, so it could have been that simple. So, what's the difference between the two? Mu Qiuhuang asked.

"The difference is that the competition is only about victory and defeat, while kicking the gym is a battle of life and death......," Su Xiaoxiao explained.

"Oh." Mu Qiuhuang nodded and said, "That's better to kick the hall, only by directly facing life and death and leaving no room for room can you better hone your body." ”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "What Childe said is extremely true. ”

While the two were talking, Xiao Er also walked up with wine and food, and the entire table was filled in a short time.

Looking at a large table full of good wine and food, Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but have some doubts, stopped Xiao Er, who was about to leave, and said, "Xiao Er, I have something I don't understand, I hope you can solve it?" ”

"Where did the guest officer speak, he didn't know a single small big word, so he could answer the guest officer's question?" Xiao Erbao smiled, and wanted to turn around and leave.

"It's okay, listen, if you can really answer my question, I deserve a reward." Mu Qiuhuang smiled.

Hearing the reward, Xiao Er also stopped preparing, turned around, and said flatteringly: "The guest officer, please command, the little one must know everything and say everything......

Su Xiaoxiao also looked at Mu Qiuhuang with a curious face at this time, I don't know what he was stopping Xiao Er for? According to Huang Ling's intelligence, this inn has been open locally for more than ten years, and Xiao Er, the identity of the shopkeeper, should be no problem, right?

Mu Qiuhuang opened his mouth and asked: "What I don't understand is that the two brothers are mediocre in appearance and dressed in average, how dare you serve such a table of good wine and good food, aren't you afraid that we will have no money to pay the bill later and eat white food?" ”

Hearing Mu Qiuhuang's questioning words, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel strange. This time, in order to facilitate travel and not attract attention, the two of them have undergone a simple disguise, dressed very ordinary, and they even came to a woman dressed as a man...... I just explained to Xiao Er a sentence of good wine and good food, but judging from the meals here, they are all high-end ingredients...... Isn't he really afraid that the two of them will eat white food? Or is there something wrong with the meal? Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lift her heart.

After hearing Mu Qiuhuang's words, Xiao Er couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, saying that you are mediocre in appearance and said in the past, but where are you ordinary in this dress? When he turned his head and looked at the murderous eyes of the two, Xiao Er couldn't help but say respectfully: "The guest officer is really joking, although the clothes of the two of you look ordinary, they are all fine silk fabrics, as well as your boots, how can this cost more than two taels of silver?" The price you paid for this outfit alone is enough to pay for this table of food and drink......"

After listening to Xiao Er's explanation, Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao were also relieved, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the embarrassment in each other's eyes...... But I never thought that in my eyes, this outfit was already extremely cheap, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was still expensive?

"This is a bounty for you, go down!" Su Xiaoxiao touched a piece of broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er.

"Thank you for the reward, if you have any requirements, your second elder will command." Xiao Er couldn't help but smile when he took the reward,

"Childe......" Su's little face couldn't help but turn red.

"Let's eat first!" Mu Qiuhuang sighed and said with self-reproach: "It's me who thinks too well about the lives of ordinary people. ”

"Shall I go out and buy two cheap cloth clothes?" Su asked thoughtfully.

Mu Qiuhuang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we are already living in the clouds, no matter how much we pretend, at most it is only lower than we think, after all, it is impossible to really be low to the dust...... But who knows, no matter how low we are in their eyes, we are always in the clouds......"

Mu Qiuhuang's words were very awkward, but Su Xiaoxiao understood, she knew that Mu Qiuhuang was sympathizing with these ordinary people......

"Let's eat!" Mu Qiuhuang said calmly, and then picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao stopped talking, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. Although the taste of the wine and food is not outstanding, it is better than dry food, not to mention that the two of them are already hungry at this time, and Mu Qiuhuang is ready to try it with Mo Bai, the swordsman in Shuzhong, so he has to eat and drink enough first.

——————

While the two of them were eating, Mo Bai, who was about to return to Qingyunju on another street, was actually stopped by someone.

The name Mo Bai sounds very elegant, but in fact, Mo Bai is already over the age of six, although this body cultivation has reached the realm of the nine products under the blessing of the pill and so on, but in fact, he has just entered the nine products, the reason why he can occupy a place in the top ten masters in the world this time is because he bribed his opponent and was very fair in the top ten master ranking battles, and it is precisely because he spent all his savings on buying the rankings that he has not even had a place to settle now. As a last resort, the guest house ...... Although he ran out of money to buy such a ranking, Mo Bai did not regret it at all. Because, the benefits of becoming one of the top ten masters in the world are also obvious, since his reputation has been spread, his value has also risen, let's take the matter of helping the martial arts hall today! I heard that it was a dispute caused by two martial arts halls in order to compete for a piece of land, and in order to completely solve the problem, the two martial arts halls decided to have a martial arts competition, and Mo Bai was invited by one of the martial arts halls to help...... Waiting for the opponent's martial arts hall to hear "the top ten masters in the world... Mo Bai" these words, he actually surrendered directly, after all, the ranking of the top ten masters in the world is still quite bluffing in these third-rate martial arts gangs...... The advantage of Mo Bai going to help today is the extra silver tickets in his arms.

……

"You two stinky Taoist priests, you have deceived people to deceive me, do you know who I am? I am Mo Bai, the eighth ranked swordsman in Shuzhong among the top ten masters in the world, if you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for letting you two have the disaster of blood and light first......," Mo Bai scolded angrily.

It turned out that just now Mo Bai was walking down the street with the silver ticket in his sleeve and was about to go back to the inn, when he suddenly met this old and young Taoist priest here. And this little Taoist priest was directly in front of him, and said: "I see that the benefactor's seal hall is black, there will be a blood-light disaster today, if you can trust the path, the path can count a hexagram for you, and eliminate your blood-light disaster......"
