said that Yang Yi was about to get up and leave, when he suddenly heard a commotion on the second floor of the restaurant, and when he looked up, it turned out that the guests in several private rooms on the second floor were coming down from upstairs.

There were also quite a few of them, about forty or fifty men, all of whom were strong men with swords at their waists, except for a few maids.

Yang Yi and the others can be regarded as reading countless people, and they can see at a glance that the more than 30 strong men are by no means ordinary family guards, all of them are like eagles, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their palms and mouths are full of calluses.

Yang Yi saw that the group of people were coming down from the pavilion, and gently pressed his hand without a trace, signaling Doubao, Hu Shou and the others to wait for a while, and then go upstairs to call the name of the monkey Jian'er and the palace master escorted in the private room after taking the group of people away, so as not to cause more trouble.

Yang Yi gently drank the tea in the cup without revealing a trace, and saw the group of people coming down the stairs.

Surrounded by the group of people, a little girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a green dress and white dress, walked in the front, and seemed to be the object of protection of this group of people.

I only heard that the young girl was walking downstairs, and said a little impatiently: "Uncle Qin, how long do we have to go, I'm about to die of heat." ”

A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper said to the young girl: "Miss, this place is only a day's journey from Jiuxiao Mountain, if we go fast, we can reach Jiuxiao Mountain Villa before dark." ”

"Why did you have to walk so long?" The girl was dissatisfied.

Yang Yi, who was drinking tea, heard that the group was also going to Jiuxiao Villa, so he gently turned the teacup in his hand and looked at it from the side.

Coincidentally, the young girl happened to pass behind Yang Yi and the others, and Yang Yi saw that the girl was smart, her skin was white, and the black hair on her head was neatly tied into a small braid hanging behind her.

At the same time that Yang Yi was observing the girl, the woman also happened to look at Yang Yi, and when she saw Yang Yi looking at herself, she seemed to be a little unhappy and frowned slightly, but soon the group of people passed by Yang Yi and the others and walked outside the restaurant.

Yang Yi thought about it for a while, and asked Doubao to call the shopkeeper over.

"Guest, do you have any orders?" The shopkeeper said enthusiastically.

Yang Yi smiled and said, "Little second brother, do you know who the group of people who went out just now?" ”

The shopkeeper looked back at the group of people who left, shook his head and said, "I don't know, they are just like the guest officers, just here to rest and drink some tea." ”

Yang Yi saw that the shopkeeper had a bright smile when he spoke, and he didn't seem to have said all the words in his heart.

Yang Yi smiled, gave Doubao a look, Doubao understood, took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper.

Yang Yi asked again: "Little second brother, you are well-informed, what should you know?" ”

"Hey, you're so kind." The little second brother grabbed the heavy silver ingot, the corners of his eyebrows were about to bloom, and he said: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, although the little one doesn't know who those people are, he can probably guess what they are here for." ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Yang Yidao.

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "You believe that you have also seen it, our Songjia Village is different from ordinary villages, people come and go, and it is very lively, even ordinary county towns are not as prosperous as ours here, the reason is because we are the only way to Jiuxiao Mountain."

What kind of place is Jiuxiao Mountain? Where the mountain gate of the first Jianghu sect of Daguang is located, how many heroes and righteous people, the place where the celebrities of the rivers and lakes yearn for, the disciples of Jiuxiao are walking outside, even if those big officials and masters meet, they have to give a few thin noodles. ”

Yang Yi nodded and motioned for the shopkeeper to continue.

"For a long time, whether it is a child of Pinghan or a wealthy family, there are countless people who want to send their children to Jiuxiao Villa to learn art, but Jiuxiao Villa has strict rules, and the recruitment of disciples is also extremely strict.

However, just some time ago, there was news from the gate of Jiuxiao Villa that the villa was going to open the mountain gate and recruit disciples, and for a while the entire Fengzhou Mansion was in an uproar, and everyone flocked to it, afraid that they would not be able to enter the mountain gate if they were half a minute late. Among these people who came to learn from teachers, there were naturally many children of rich families. ”

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "What does the little brother mean is that the little girl just now wants to go up the mountain to learn art?" ”

"Eight or nine is not far from ten." The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, looked at Yang Yi and said, "If the little one is not mistaken, I guess you... That's what you're here for, right? ”

Yang Yi smiled noncommittally, and was about to ask again, when a general who was guarding outside the door hurriedly walked in, came to Yang Yi and said with a solemn face: "Son, something happened outside." ”

"What's the matter?" Yang Yidao.

The general said, "Someone outside is trying to steal our horses." ”

Yang Yi frowned slightly, and glanced at Doubao: "Let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Yang Yi and the others hurriedly rushed out of the restaurant, but saw that the left side of the restaurant was crowded with people.

Because there were more than forty horses on the mounts of Yang Yi and others, the small stables of the restaurant were completely insufficient, so they could only tie the horses to the foot of a row of big trees next to the restaurant, and at this time, those big trees and the mounts of Yang Yi and others had been surrounded by people.

Yang Yi glanced at it, and the people surrounding his mount were the group of people who had just come out of the restaurant.

Hu Shou beside Yang Yi was not very good-looking, and he gave a few orders to the generals and dark messengers behind him, signaling everyone to prepare for battle.

Yang Yi pressed his hand and said softly: "Don't act rashly, it's not good for us if things get bigger, let's take a look first." ”

As he spoke, Yang Yi led everyone straight towards the crowd.

"Stop!"

Yang Yi had just approached the crowd, and was unsurprisingly stopped by those guards.

Yang Yi was not surprised, but tilted his head to look at the crowd and smiled: "This brother, what happened here?" ”

The guard glanced at Yang Yi vigilantly, and said coldly: "It's none of your business." ”

Yang Yi smiled: "My horse." ”

The guard was stunned for a moment, and Yang Yi pointed to the horses in the crowd and said, "That's our horse." ”

"These are your horses?" The guard wondered.

Yang Yi nodded: "Of course, the horse's butt has my family's imprint." ”

The guard was looking at Yang Yi when he suddenly heard the woman in green clothes in the crowd say, "Let him come over." ”

Hearing this, the guard hesitated, moved a step to the side, made way of the way, and motioned for Yang Yi to go over and speak.

As soon as Yang Yigang entered, Hu Shou and the others were about to follow in when they were stopped by the guard and said, "My young lady only asked him to go in, you can't go in." ”

"Get out of the way." Hu Shou said expressionlessly.
