Chapter 45: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

Ji Xuan'er walked a few steps, turned around and saw Wen Yixian looking absent-minded, stood in place and waited for her for a few steps, waited for her to come to her, and said: "Let's go, when we get to the inn, you can take a good rest, a girl must be tired after running in the mountains and forests for so long." ”

Wen Yixian finally quickened his pace under the urging of Ji Xuan'er, and the two of them walked along the alleys of the town for a while, and they smelled a burst of wine.

Wen Yixian's nose sniffed in the air, and he drooled: "Good fragrant wine, it's just ten miles of fragrance." Saying this, he was already running in the direction where the smell of wine wafted from.

Ji Xuan'er shook her head helplessly, looked at Wen Yixian's back, and thought to herself, she is probably very good at making wine because she is greedy for cups, right? I had to go with him.

After walking in the direction of the aroma of wine getting stronger and stronger, Wen Yixian and Ji Xuan'er stood still in front of a restaurant with "Ten Miles of Cold Pool".

She said to him: "The fragrance floats for ten miles, no wonder it is called ten miles of cold pool, let's drink and eat here." ”

Wen Yixian stepped into the store with one foot, only to see that the customers in the store were sparse, but sat at three or five tables, and the men who were drinking saw a gray-faced girl walk in, they just glanced at it hurriedly, and then turned back without interest and continued to draw fists and drink, only an old man and a young man sat at a table near the inside, the old one had a full mouth and a full beard, and he looked like he was in his fifties, and the few were very young, but he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his face looked a little old, looking like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old person.

When the two of them saw Wen Yixian come in, their faces were different, the old bearded man squinted at Wen Yixian a few times, as if he had found something in her, and the look on the young man's face was very surprised, as if he was thinking in his heart: "How could it be her?" ”

Wen Yixian swept the store, and saw that there was a window on the right that was still empty, while drinking, while watching the moonlight, just right, he was about to walk towards the table, at this time, she was suddenly pulled into the arms of a man by a force, she looked up and saw that it was Ji Xuan'er.

Wen Yixian didn't know why he suddenly acted so lightly, and was about to ask angrily, Ji Xuan'er glanced at her, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "There are two uninvited guests here, don't say anything, go upstairs." ”

When Wen Yixian heard this, her eyes immediately searched the restaurant, trying to find out who the uninvited guest Ji Xuan'er was talking about, Ji Xuan'er continued to whisper in her ear: "Don't look around." As he spoke, he slid his hand from Wen Yat-sen's shoulder to his waist, grabbed her waist, and dragged her into his arms again, so that she would stop looking around, startle the snake, smile on her lips, and walk to the hotel counter together.

The two walked straight to the cashier at the front desk, and said to the shopkeeper: "Boss, I accompany my destined lady out for a walk, passing by here, the journey is tiring, and I need a first-class guest room to rest, I don't know if there is?" As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver of twenty taels from his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw such a generous guest, his eyes lit up, the business in this town has always been deserted, and he can't make much money all year round, but he didn't expect such a generous guest to suddenly come, and he smiled with a smile: "Yes, yes, come to Fu, take two guest officers to the second floor and go to the room, and entertain them." ”

Xiao Er immediately agreed, ran over, and took Ji Xuan'er and Wen Yixian to a good wing room on the second floor.

Ji Xuan'er said to Xiao Er: "Little Second Brother, please help us prepare some more food and wine and serve it, by the way, the famous Hantan Xiang in your store will also help us get a pot." ”

Xiao Er replied with a mouthful: "Yes, yes, I'll go and prepare, and the wine and food will come immediately." When he left, he specially helped Ji Xuan'er to close the door.

As soon as Xiao Er left, Wen Yixian broke free from Ji Xuan'er's arms, stretched out his hand and hit Ji Xuan'er in the face, and said angrily: "Do you want to take advantage of me?" ”

Ji Xuan'er turned sideways, grabbed Wen Yixian's hand, and whispered in her ear: "When you just entered the store, did you see the old and the young at the table in the middle?" They are all from the demon clan, and the old man's cultivation is not low, all these years, the demon clan has also been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Tianxin Jade Soul, and the people of the demon clan have always thought that the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom can only live in a corner now, suffering on the cold and wild ice field, all because of the Wuji Palace, which is particularly hostile to the Wuji Palace, if we are recognized by them, don't think about leaving here quietly tonight. ”

Wen Yixian was about to speak, but Ji Xuan'er covered his mouth, and continued: "That young man is a famous Diting snake of the demon clan, it can hear all the lies in the world, if you don't want the two of us to be exposed, it's best not to say anything." ”

Wen Yixian glared at Ji Xuan'er and kept a safe distance from him.

At this time, the voice of the shopkeeper suddenly came from outside the door, saying, "Childe, the wine and food you want are here." ”

Ji Xuan'er opened the door, took the wine and food from the shopkeeper, and instructed: "Ask the second brother to help get some hot water, so we can take a bath and rest." The shopkeeper still agreed and went.

Ji Xuan'er brought in the wine and food, put it on the table, opened the pot of Hantan incense, poured a bowl, and said to Wen Yixian: "You have walked alone for a day on the mountain road, you must be very hungry now, hurry up and eat." ”

Wen Yixian saw the food, so she forgot all the anger to the clouds, she was drenched in the rain all night, and walked the mountain road for another day, she was indeed so hungry that her chest was close to her back, she took the wine handed by Ji Xuan'er, raised her head and drank it, and ate it with chopsticks, and asked Ji Xuan'er in a low voice: "You know that the two people downstairs are from the demon clan, why do you want to come in?" ”

Ji Xuan'er also picked up a bowl of wine and drank it, and said, "Because, they are looking for the same thing as us." ”

Wen Yixian suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "You just told the shopkeeper that I am your destined lady, you said that the truth is that the snake can hear any lies, and you say such a lie, and he hears it, doesn't it attract his attention even more?" ”

Ji Xuan'er's chopsticks that were picking up vegetables paused for a moment, and said: "Those two people of the demon clan are not simple, it is safer for the two of us to live in one room, so that we can take care of each other, if I say that the two of us are ordinary acquaintances, but we want to live in one room, don't they doubt it?" ”

Wen Yixian took a chicken leg in his hand, pointed at Ji Xuan'er and said, "If you let me know that you lied to me and took advantage of me, I have to break your neck!" ”

At this moment, Xiao Er knocked on the door again and said, "Guest officer, the hot water you want is ready, the bath bucket in the room is equipped with a water valve, as long as the water valve is opened, the hot water will come out." ”

Ji Xuan'er agreed, and Xiao Er left.
