In the next period of time, Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao were really like idle people playing in the green, riding horses in the wind, catching bees and butterflies during the day...... At night, I sleep with the moon and the stars. Although the two of them seem to be walking lightly in pairs and horses, in fact, the few "ghosts" who are secretly following have already explored the road in advance, and will quietly prepare a series of things for camping on the road they must pass through every day, and when they wait for the next day, they only need to continue to tour the mountains and rivers, and all the things used in these camping will be collected by these "ghosts" and then put on the next road...... This is the benefit of the superiors, just because Mu Qiuhuang is unwilling to go with them, for fear of ruining his playing mood, so these "ghosts" have to come and go quietly, and all this is a matter of course, and no one will feel abrupt at all.

……

At night, the stars are brilliant, the bright moonlight shines on the wilderness like a layer of hoarfrost, the heaven and the earth are also quiet, the evening breeze blows gently, the grass waves rise and fall with the wind, and the cicadas in the forest are also crisp and bright, which is very pleasant.

Tonight, Mu Qiuhuang and Su Xiaoxiao chose to camp in the wild without any surprise, the two sat around the campfire, and the hare next to the fire was already roasted with oil, which looked appetizing. After Su Xiaoxiao tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Mu Qiuhuang, she tore off another leg for herself.

After the two of them finished eating the roast hare over the bonfire, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask the question in her heart: "Childe, are we going to Tingzhou to find Miss Ji this time?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Qiuhuang nodded.

"...... Childe and this Miss Ji family?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

"She's my fiancée." Mu Qiuhuang said calmly.

"Huh?" Shocked by the news, Su Xiaoxiao screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"Huh?"

Seeing Mu Qiuhuang looking at her with a strange expression, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but feel that she was a little out of shape, and suddenly realized: "No wonder Gongzi would be in a hurry to let Huang Ling put down everything at hand to find her?" It turns out that she is the fiancée of Childe! ”

Mu Qiuhuang sighed and said, "It's a pity that Huang Ling has been looking for her for so long and still hasn't heard from her." ”

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she hurriedly asked for sin: "Huang Ling's handling is not good, please punish the son."

"It's not your fault, it's still unknown whether she's in Tingzhou or not?" Mu Qiuhuang said calmly.

Indeed, at that time, he instructed the "charm" in Huang Ling and Wei Mei at the same time, and asked Mei to bring his handwritten letter to Tan Baiming. But then the news that Mei came back also did not have a trace of Ji Ruoxue, this time when he was in the Hou Mansion, he also specially asked Tan Bai Ming, Tan Bai Ming said that after receiving his letter, he also deliberately sent people to search for him in Tingzhou, but he still found nothing. Although, according to the news from all parties, it can basically be determined that Ji Ruoxue is not in Tingzhou, but Mu Qiuhuang is still a little worried if he doesn't take a look in person. Just like his previous conversation with Mu Qingen, although the ultimate goal of his best efforts to find Ji Ruoxue was to get out of the marriage, Ji Ruoxue was still his fiancée before the divorce, and secondly, he also agreed to Ji Yan...... So no matter from that point of view, he has to ensure the safety of Hao Ji Ruoxue.

Su Xiaoxiao obviously thought of something else, and at this time, the gossip heart was already overflowing, and seeing Mu Qiuhuang's calm expression, he pretended to say clearly: "No wonder the son can be indifferent in the face of Miss Situ, who is like a flower and jade?" It turns out that there is already a marriage contract, Childe, is this Miss Ji family even more beautiful than Miss Situ? ”

"I haven't seen Miss Ji." Mu Qiuhuang said truthfully.

"So you haven't seen it, Childe!" Su Xiaoxiao said to herself: "Then you rejected Miss Situ for the sake of Miss Ji's family?" If by then, you find that Miss Ji is not as good-looking as Miss Situ, wouldn't you lose a lot of money? ”

Mu Qiuhuang looked at Su Xiaoxiao, who was gossipy, and said angrily: "It's not what you think!" I have been married to Miss Ji since childhood......"

Before Mu Qiuhuang finished speaking, he saw Su Xiaoxiao interjecting: "It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart?" ”

"Alas......" Mu Qiuhuang sighed and said leisurely: "Put away your gossip thoughts first, and listen to me." ”

"Hee-hee...... Childe, you said, listen to your ears. "Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be serious.

Mu Qiuhuang said slowly: "I came to Miss Ji to get out of the marriage, if it wasn't for Ji Yan telling me that Ji Ruoxue was not at home and might be here in Tingzhou, I am afraid that I would be in the land of Qinlu." ”

"Oh." Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her tone and said: "It turns out that Gongzi, you are the true love for Miss Situ, for her, you did not hesitate to tear up the marriage contract with Miss Ji since childhood......"

Seeing that Mu Qiuhuang didn't take care of herself, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be a little stupid, and changed the topic: "Then if Miss Ji is no longer in Tingzhou, what should the son do?" ”

"Then put this matter aside for now, I still have to go to the rivers and lakes for a while." Mu Qiuhuang said to himself: "Since I promised my master to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes, I naturally have to do what I say." ”

This time, Mu Qiuhuang wrote to his master, the Nine Emperors of the Sword, asking him to come back to protect him. Although the Nine Emperors of the Sword agreed, he also made a request, that is, he would only protect Mu Qiuhuang in secret, and in exchange, Mu Qiuhuang had to change his face to play himself as a charlatan, and kick the face of those who claim to be "masters" in this world.

For such a request, Mu Qiuhuang naturally agreed. On the one hand, it is because he has wanted to get over the addiction of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and on the other hand, he also wants to hone his skills through the competition with the masters of the rivers and lakes...... With his own master, the Nine Emperors, in secret, he is also relieved and bold.

"What? Childe, do you want to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes? Su Xiaoxiao said with a surprised face.

"What? Doesn't this son look like a master of the rivers and lakes? Mu Qiuhuang wondered.

"It's not, it's just that Gongzi, you are opening your identity and taking the masters of the Hou Mansion to the rivers and lakes, aren't you bullying that group of Jianghu masters, which of them has the courage to dare to compete with Gongzi, you are really swordsman?" Su moved slightly.

"Of course it's not what you think, this son will change his face and be incognito, by the way, aren't you good at disguise? At that time, I can just change the face of my son......" Mu Qiuhuang explained.

"Childe really thinks so?" Su Xiaoxiao confirmed again.

"That's nature."

"Then, in addition to the four great sword immortals on the rivers and lakes now, the most famous ones have to be the top ten masters in the world."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "According to the latest ranking this year, the first place is still the Heavenly Sword ~ Sword Nine Emperors, the second is the Remnant Sword ~ Sword Without Trace, the third is the Jade Face Scholar ~ Xiao Yulang, in addition to the top three rankings have not changed, the rankings of others have changed, the fourth is the owner of the Ruthless Mountain Villa ~ Yun Bufan, the fifth is the God Operator ~ Du Qian, the sixth is Suo Lin Bag ~ no defects, by the way, the seventh ranking has not changed, it is still the Aoki Daoist of Wudang Mountain, it is strange to say, It's been a long time since this Aoki Daoist has been ranked seventh, and he hasn't changed like the Nine Emperors of the Sword? ”

After a few words to herself, Su Xiaoxiao continued: The eighth is the swordsman in Shu~ Mo Bai, the ninth and tenth are both from the sword casting house in the land of Qinlu, and the name is unknown. ”

Aoki Daoren has maintained this ranking without changing, Mu Qiuhuang can't help but feel a little strange, you must know that the top ten masters ranking, except for his master Sword Nine Emperors, the rest of the people are changing rankings? It is normal to move forward and backward two times, how can it be possible to be stuck in the seventh position and remain motionless? "Unless, he's sure he's in control of the rankings...... It seems that the strength of this Aoki Dao person is not as simple as it seems in the ranking? Mu Qiuhuang muttered to himself.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't notice Mu Qiuhuang's thoughts, and continued: "This sword Nine Emperor seniors are your master, so naturally he is excluded...... Childe, you said before that the Zhang Xianren on Wudang Mountain have a friendship with you, so this Aoki Daoist in Wudang Mountain can also be regarded as his own person? In addition to these two, there are eight left, which one do you plan to start with, Childe? ”

Mu Qiuhuang stared at Su Xiaoxiao left and right, and saw that she didn't look like she was joking, so she couldn't help but say, "Are you joking with me?" This is one of the top ten masters in the world, not a cat or a dog, do you think I can defeat them? ”

Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but raise her head to look at Mu Qiuhuang, and asked, "Childe, do you have any misunderstanding about the ranking of these top ten masters?" ”

"What do you mean?" Mu Qiuhuang also sensed that something was wrong at this time.

"Alright! It seems that you really don't know, Childe. Su Xiaoxiao continued to ask, "Childe, do you know where the top ten master rankings come from?" ”

"I really don't know this, isn't it word of mouth?" Mu Qiuhuang wondered.

"Not really! It's no wonder that because you haven't walked in the rivers and lakes, you don't know much about these things. ”

Su Xiaoxiao continued to explain: "The ranking of these four great sword immortals is passed down by word of mouth, and they can't be faked, because they have all reached the 'Heavenly Realm', so far, except for these four great sword immortals, only Zhang Immortal of Wudang Mountain has reached the Heavenly Realm. However, the gold content of the ranking of the top ten masters in the world is not so high, although the realm of the nine grades is not low, but compared to the heavenly realm, the number of people who have reached the nine grades is more, who dares to guarantee that they are the strongest below the sword immortal? If that's the case, it won't be so fast to convert the rankings, in fact, they spend their own money to buy people and create momentum for themselves...... Among them, I heard that the person in charge of operating this is the Pingjin Marquis Mansion. ”

"Impossible, right?" Mu Qiuhuang looked incredulous, "Then why is my master's sword Nine Emperors always ranked first, and there has never been a change?" ”

"This is mainly because the predecessors of the Nine Emperors of the Sword have real talent and real learning, whoever dares to rank in front of him, he has to carry the knife to compare with others...... Over time, this group became afraid of him, so naturally they didn't dare to surpass him in the rankings......" Su Xiaoxiao explained.

Hearing that his master was a real talent, Mu Qiuhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when Su Xiaoxiao first started to say it, he believed it, you must know that Tie Qiyun and Shen Tu are all nine-rank masters, and the group of pavilion guards in the library pavilion are also nine-grade masters, there is no reason to say that there are so many nine-grade masters in the Beiyu Marquis Mansion, and even one of them can't be on the list? What's more, the Pingjin Marquis Mansion will do everything for money, Mu Qiuhuang had heard Linghu Ji say before, a person who even dares to buy and sell official positions for money, it is not strange to do these things again...... It's just that you don't feel embarrassed to get such a ranking?

……

"Childe, which one are you going to challenge first?" Su Xiaoxiao asked again.

When Mu Qiuhuang heard this, he smiled and said, "Then it goes without saying, naturally I beat them one by one......"
