Chapter VIII

"Hey!" Mu Bi clenched his fists and shouted at the few Nanyao people who hadn't gone far yet.

Several Nanyao people stopped, and as soon as they turned around, they were hit one by one by several sets of fast punches that were strong in the wooden cakes, and they fell to the ground and bent over, wailing and begging for mercy. Mu Bi didn't bother them anymore, turned around and ran in the direction of the ancient tree.

Time: An hour ago Location: At the foot of the eastern slope of Yanliu Village

If the ancient trees in the center of Yanliu Village are a paradise for the villagers to relax and play, then a small inn on the eastern slope of Yanliu Village is the best place for tourists from all kinds of rivers and lakes to stop here.

This small inn is not as laid-back and tranquil as an ancient tree, but it is very lively. After all, the rivers and lakes are a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and when the people of the rivers and lakes meet, they will inevitably draw their swords against each other if they are not in harmony. And in Ximiao, there are countless Jianghu guests.

On this day, the inn was as usual, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.

In the corner of the inn, sat a man with the upper half of his face covered by a cloak hood, revealing slightly pale skin. There were a few dishes and a few jars of wine on his table, he lowered his head, quietly tasted Ximiao's dishes, while sipping from time to time with a wine bowl, his demeanor was slow and leisurely, as if the noise in the inn could not affect him.

At this time, a pair of knights who looked like father and daughter appeared at the door, the man looked about forty years old, with long flaxen hair, a small beard, and a very serious expression, which could be seen from his eyes that he was a very cautious person. Although his bones are a little thin, his temperament is very tough. And the girl on the side, slender, wearing a tender yellow shirt, she has a small jasper-like dark cyan hair, the skin on her face is delicate and snow-white, a pair of big eyes, the azure eyes are smart and bright, and the eye waves are flowing, revealing a naughty spirit of the elf, looking really a bright and agile beautiful girl.

The middle-aged man in his forties stood in the doorway, his eyes scanning the crowd in the inn, as if he was looking for someone.

The innkeeper came over and greeted him with a smile: "Guest officer, please inside, is it a tip?" Or a hotel? ”

The middle-aged man said, "Looking for someone." The tone was stern and fierce, which made the middle-aged man look very serious.

When Xiao Er heard this, he quickly looked at it, and quickly affirmed that the other party was from the rivers and lakes, and wondered if the other party was looking for an enemy. Then, he saw the girl standing next to the middle-aged man, and he was very puzzled, if he was looking for revenge, why did he bring a little girl here?

The girl noticed that the innkeeper was staring at her, so she said angrily: "Look at it!" Look again and gouge out your eyeballs. ”

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and thought: He is really a person in the rivers and lakes, forget it, more is better than less. smiled and said, "Eh, I just saw that the little girl was very cute, and I couldn't help but look at it a few more times." I'm sorry, I'm sorry~" and then said to the man: "Hero, who are you looking for?" Are you also a person in the rivers and lakes? ”

The middle-aged man ignored it, but continued to stand in the doorway, his eyes searching inside.

Jianghu Ke's business can't be forced, and the inn Xiaoer is also an experienced "Jianghu Xiaoer", so he naturally understands this truth. Then he said with a smile: "This way, guest officer, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll come and greet you when you come in and sit down!" After saying that, Xiao Er hurriedly walked away.

At this time, the girl pulled the sleeve of the middle-aged man's shirt, turned her head and gestured with her eyes to the direction of the corner of the inn. He whispered to the middle-aged man, "Father-in-law, is that statue like?" ”

The middle-aged man looked over, but saw the man in the hooded robe staring at him, as if he had been staring at him for a long time.

The middle-aged man at the door began to walk towards the table in the corner, and the girl followed.

The middle-aged man walked over and sat directly across from the square table of the hooded robed man and asked, "Why are you staring at me?" ”

The hooded man replied, "Because you are like one of my old friends." His voice was crisp and gentle, and it sounded like a cool breeze on a summer day.

"Where is your hometown?" The middle-aged man asked, as if to probe the conversation.

"Snowy and dark." The hooded robe-man took out a burlap and began to fill the jars of wine on the table one by one.

"There is nowhere to hide in the night sky." The middle-aged man whispered again.

"There are no traces in the snow splash wind." The hooded robe man took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, and when he was about to get up, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the girl on the side.

The girl looked up at the man, and found that his facial features were handsome, his eyes were so pure that there was no trace of distraction, and he seemed to be able to tolerate everything, like the clear water of a lake with a microwave under the spring sun, which people couldn't help but indulge in. How can a man be so beautiful? Even if the girl's family sees this beauty, they can't help but be jealous. Then the girl noticed that the man's hair hidden in his hood was white.

When the girl was about to say something, she was stopped by the middle-aged man next to her, the middle-aged man patted the girl's shoulder, and said to the hooded robed man: "It's not convenient to talk here, take us to your residence, we have horses outside." Then he said to the girl, "Shi Lan, you will follow our horse with light skills in a moment." ”

The girl pouted, nodded displeased, and said, "Got it." ”

The hooded robe man smiled slightly, "It will take almost an hour to get to my residence, no problem, right?" ”

Without waiting for the girl to answer, the man answered solemnly: "No problem, she is very talented, this little thing will not be difficult for her." ”

……

The three of them went out of the inn, and the hooded and robed man walked in front and saw a horse at the door with a short sword. Then he asked with a sense of discipline, "Why don't you have the sword with you?" Isn't Shi Lan from the Snow Wolf Pavilion? ”

After the girl listened, the light in her blue eyes dimmed a little, and her face showed an aggrieved look. The middle-aged man said, "I just told her not to see you with a sword." ”

The hooded and robed man turned his head, Ni looked at the middle-aged man, and only sighed: "Could it be that now Xue Wuji is going to change the dynasty again?" ”

The middle-aged man just lowered his head and said nothing.

On the west slope road of Yanliu Village, Shan Guyue and his party.

The three of them are still Shan Guyue, wearing shackles and walking in front.

As they walked, a galloping fast horse suddenly appeared in front of them, the horse stopped five meters away from them, and it was a girl immediately, she didn't have time to react, her hand took off the reins for a while, and she fell off the horse at once, and fell face to the loess with her back to the sky. The two catchers turned blue when they saw it, because they wanted to laugh, but Shan Guyue was here, and they didn't dare to let him see his virtue.

Fat Catcher quickly covered his mouth and walked over. He made a "noise" and said, "Oops~ It's okay." ”

Shan Guyue also stepped forward after seeing it.

Thin Catcher quickly "hid" behind, but he was already squatting on the ground and covering his mouth and smiling.

That's right, it was Yuzu who fell off the horse, because Yuzu didn't know how to ride a horse at all, but Yuzu saw the two "virtues" who caught fast, and said in his heart: I dare to laugh at the old lady, and I will make you look good at that time.

Yuzu got up from the ground, patted the dust on her body, and immediately "retaliated" against the fat catcher who came over, she grabbed the collar of the fat catcher, pulled it over, and yelled into his ear: "Go to Yanliu Village!" There are a lot of Nanyao people who rob homes there! That's a lot!! ”

The fat catcher was pulled by her like this, and she didn't react to what happened at all, but the thin catcher in the back couldn't laugh anymore after listening to it.

After hearing this, Shan Guyue frowned, he didn't doubt the truth of this girl's words, and thought in his heart that they should hurry to the village.

Of course, there are a lot of things on his mind at this time, but what he should do is to hurry to Yanliu Village, even if he is pretending, he has to do it perfectly in front of this Shuiyue Marquis. He ran away, shouting to the fat catcher: "Fatty! Fast! Catch it fast! ”

After the fat catcher reacted quickly, he threw off the grapefruit and ran to Yanliu Village with the thin catcher.

As the so-called busyness is wrong, the two catchers forgot about the shackles in Shan Guyue's hands.

Shan Guyue wanted to jump on the horse next to Yuzu and rush over, only to find that her hands were still locked. Then he immediately shouted at the two catchers: "Hey! Help me untie the shackles first. But the two catchers had already run away desperately, and they couldn't hear it at all.

Yuzu looked at Shan Guyue with a puzzled expression.

Shan Guyue noticed Yuzu's gaze, so she said to Yuzu, "Girl, help me." Ride a horse and help me get the key to the shackles with them. ”

Yuzu was a little stunned at first, then showed disdain, and said disgustedly, "You want to run away, right?" Seeing that you are dressed well, you are actually doing some things to steal chickens and dogs, it is really messy for everyone. Yuzu was a little annoyed, she thought that Shan Guyue's words were mocking her for not being able to ride a horse.

Shan Guyue hurriedly explained: "Girl, you misunderstood, I borrowed their shackles to have a while, but ......"

Before Shan Guyue finished speaking, she was interjected by Yuzu: "Then they arrested me." ”

Yuzu saw that the catcher was about to rush to the village, so she led the horse and walked briskly to the village, but she was still worried in her heart: although the two catchers were about to pass, if Mu Bi went to deal with those Nanyao people by himself, he would definitely not be able to eat well. The most feared thing is that the Nanyao people no longer take the local government in their eyes, so it is estimated that the two catchers and the entire village will suffer, but they can't ride horses, so they can't rush to Hongcheng to move the rescuers, and it's too late to use horses. Now I can only pray that the people of Nanyao should only beat them with wooden cakes at most this time, and then grab some food.

Although Yuzu has been trying to think about the good, Shan Guyue interrupted Yuzu: "Girl, do you have anything like a hairpin?" I want to open this lock. If it's too late, I'm afraid that those Nanyao people will start a killing ring. ”

The second half of Shan Guyue's sentence is naturally what Yuzu doesn't want to hear. Yuzu, who grew up peacefully in the calm Yanliu Village, although he had thought that Nanyao had the possibility of killing people, this was the last thing he wanted to believe. But the thing he didn't want to accept the most came out of Shan Guyue's mouth, which once again expanded the uneasiness in Yuzu's heart, which made Yuzu very unhappy.

She immediately turned around and sneered, "Ha! Pick the lock, and say it's not a thief. Although Yuzu didn't mention the latter sentence, he said it in his heart.

Shan Guyue has always been bright and upright, daring to act. But seeing Yuzu so arrogantly affirming that he was a thief, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed: "Huh? Why are you so unreasonable, girl? I'm just afraid of breaking the shackles, so why should I suspect that I'm a thief? Have you ever seen a thief wearing such a good outfit? ”

When it comes to quarrels, Shan Guyue, a big man, is definitely going to be crushed by grapefruit: "Wow, what a high-sounding thief, not only does he wear a high-sounding word." I'm actually afraid of breaking the shackles, isn't there no silver three hundred taels here, and now what thief would dress himself up like a thief? ”

Yuzu led the horse faster and faster, Shan Guyue followed behind faster and faster, and he wanted to say something to refute Yuzu, but he was speechless for a while.

Shan Guyue is definitely a god-like figure on the battlefield, but in the sense of "rivers and lakes", Shan Guyue is still far behind, especially compared with grapefruit.
