The next day, Mei Zhuang and Ping'er said goodbye to everyone, and after everyone received their own prescriptions, Shopkeeper Li took them back to the Donglai Inn on the ninth day of the first month.

Along the way, Chu Jiu thought about the words of the old owner of Mei.

"It's best to start practicing when you're a child, although you're a little older now, it's still good for you to insist on improving your internal strength and learning martial arts."

"But I don't know anything about martial arts."

"There are only a few people in this world who can learn without a teacher, so you might as well go and learn a few tricks!"

Chu Jiu frowned. It's easy to say, but where to find a master?

When they arrived at the Donglai Inn, everyone was ready to pack up and leave.

At this time, Yin Duanhong greeted Chao Duxue and prepared to go downstairs to leave.

Chu Jiu opened the door with his own baggage on his back, and happened to run into Yin Duanhong.

"Miss Yin."

Yin Duanhong turned around when he heard the voice, and saw that the person who came was Zhao Chujiu, "What's wrong?" ”

Chu Jiu was a little embarrassed, she remembered that Chao Duxue had told her that she could worship Miss Yin as a teacher. "Miss Yin, I know it's a bit abrupt, but I have a request."

"What request? Come out and see, I'll help if I can. ”

Chu Jiu was happy, "That's right, Zhao Gongzi said that I can worship you as a teacher." ”

Yin Duanhong waved his hand, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhao, I think you should find someone else for this apprenticeship." ”

"Why?" Chu Jiu was a little nervous, "Do you dislike me for being old and not good at learning martial arts?" I'll be diligent! ”

"It's not your problem, it's my own." Yin Duanhong explained her reason, "I'm no longer recruiting disciples, I'm sorry. "She promised someone that he would make him her last disciple, so now she would not accept Zhao Chujiu, even if it was the order of the sect leader.

"It's okay, I'm sorry to disturb Miss Yin, I'll think of a way."

Yin Duanhong saw Chu Jiu's face full of disappointment, so his mind turned, "Miss Zhao, do you remember that you signed a contract to be the servant girl of the prince?" ”

Chu Jiu nodded, "I still remember." ”

"Why don't you ask him if he can take you as an apprentice? As far as I know, he's never taken an apprentice. ”

"But will he say yes?" Chu Jiu was a little hesitant.

"How do you know if you can't if you don't try?" Yin Duanhong encouraged her, and then went downstairs and left with a few entourage.

Chu Jiu was still thinking about Yin Duanhong's suggestion just now. If you really want to ask Chao Duxue, she is thinking that he looks like he is only a few years older than her, but his martial arts are really good. She slowly walked downstairs to the lobby, found an empty table, and sat down.

After a few moments, everyone came down.

Chu Jiu secretly looked at the morning twilight snow, and kept pouring him up and down.

Twilight Xue felt Chu Jiu's peeping, and his eyes swept over Chu Jiu, so frightened that Chu Jiu immediately withdrew his gaze and looked around pretending.

"Let's go!" Song Jialin took Chu Jiu to the side of Chao Duxue.

They set off together, and on the carriage, the ninth day of the first month wanted to talk and stopped.

Song Jialin also saw the clue, she was a little irritable with Chu Jiu's stumbling, "Chu Jiu, what do you want to say?" Say it all at once! ”

Chu Jiu bit his lip, looked up at Chao Duxue who was sitting by the window, and then said with a sigh, "Young Master Chao, do you accept apprentices?" ”

Twilight smiled. It turned out that Chu Jiu was restless and stumbling all day today, just for this matter. "Didn't I ask you to find Miss Yin?"

"I looked for it, but she said she didn't accept any more apprentices."

Chao Duxue was a little surprised when she heard what Chu Jiu said. Because he knew that Yin Duanhong loved to accept apprentices the most, especially good-looking male apprentices, but when Chu Jiu said this, he suddenly noticed that Yin Duanhong had not accepted apprentices for a while. "I won't take you as an apprentice!"

Chu Jiu received another reply of refusal, and she lowered her head in frustration. Is she really too scumbag?

"Chu Jiu, it's not that you're bad, it's that I only accept one apprentice in this life, so my requirements will be very high, so ......"

"I see." Chu Jiu was so sad that he didn't want to listen to Chao Duxue anymore.

Song Jialin saw that Chu Jiu was so sad on the side, so he slowly spoke: "Chu Jiu, if you don't dislike it, I can teach you some martial arts and sword techniques to defend yourself on weekdays." ”

Chu Jiu's sad heart was soothed by Song Jialin at once, she jumped up, forgetting that she was sitting in the carriage, and hit the roof of the car all of a sudden, she happily covered the top of her head and sat next to Song Jialin, "Sister Xiaojia, really?" Can you teach me martial arts? ”

"It's just a self-defense move."

Chu Jiu happily leaned on Song Jialin's shoulder and rubbed it, "Thank you, Sister Xiaojia." ”

Chao Duxue looked at the appearance of Chu Jiu and Song Jialin, and felt a little unhappy. He already knew that he would learn from Song Jialin, and only promised to teach Chu Jiu some moves, maybe the person who Chu Jiu is grateful for now is him.

Donglai Inn.

Uncle Wei is dealing with the dwarf who lost his parents.

"Wait, I'll kill you and sacrifice my father!"

Uncle Wei kicked at the dwarf, "You still have the strength, look at me...... Uh......" He felt a pain in his chest, and he looked down to see the dagger piercing his chest.

The dwarf couldn't imagine what was happening in front of him.

Uncle Wei's body fell to the ground, and at this time the dwarf found the scholar Lu Gongzi who was standing behind Uncle Wei.

"Your dagger is really sharp!" Lu Gongzi didn't look at the dead Uncle Wei, just praised the killing weapon, and then untied the rope on the dwarf's body.

"What do you want to do?" The dwarf dodged Lu Gongzi's hand and looked at him warily.

"I just want you to do things for me, but I've saved you now, it's really a wolf's heart."

Outside, I remembered the voice of Shopkeeper Li, "Ah Wei, come out and eat something, don't pay attention to that guy!" ”

The dwarf was frightened, afraid that Shopkeeper Li would not hear the voice of Uncle Wei who fell to the ground and would walk in.

Lu Gongzi folded his arms indifferently and stood aside.

"Please, get me out of here."

"Are you pleading? I'm not trading for nothing, I'll get you out, but you have to give something in return. ”

The dwarf kowtowed to Lu Gongzi, "Okay, as long as the little one can leave this ghost place, the little one will definitely repay the childe." Cunning flashed in his eyes when he lowered his head, but he didn't expect that the Lu Gongzi in front of him was not a good person.

Lu Gongzi grabbed the dwarf by the collar and jumped out of the window, after they found a horse in the stable, Lu Gongzi directly threw the dwarf on the horse's back, and then went up himself and rode away from the inn.

Uncle Wei saw that there was no response from Uncle Wei for a long time, so he walked to the room where the dwarf was imprisoned, but he had already pushed the door open, and he saw Uncle Wei lying in a pool of blood, "Ah Wei! Ah Wei! ”
