In the western part of the kamikaze country, against the Sunset Forest, there is a small town called Luoxia Town.

Although there is a "town" in the name, Luoxia Town is actually only a small village of about 100 households, just because you can see the sunset of the sunset forest here every day, so it was given such a name by people who come and go, maybe people also want to add a little poetry to this cold place!

Liu Laohan lives on the side of the avenue at the east end of the village, and opens a restaurant against a wooden house handed down from his ancestors to entertain passing merchants and adventurers.

In the Jianyuan Continent, especially in a place like Luoxia Town, which is adjacent to the Sunset Forest, where adventurers come and go endlessly, and bandits are rampant, Liu Laohan, an ordinary person with no spiritual cultivation, can live in peace, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth, which can be regarded as a strange thing.

On this day, it was Qingming, there was a drizzle in the sky, the mist shrouded Luoxia Town, and the sunset forest not far away was also wrapped in a coat under the rain. As he did at this time of year, Liu sat idly at the door, boredly calculating the supplies he needed to meet the coming boom of adventurers, which would be his busiest time of the year.

Suddenly, Liu Laohan raised his head as if he felt something in his heart and looked at the avenue leading to the village. Looking through the thick fog, Liu Laohan vaguely saw a group of figures coming towards Luoxia Town.

Liu Laohan was puzzled in his heart, thinking that he was dazzled, so he hurriedly raised his right hand and rubbed his eyes, and found that there was indeed a group of people galloping towards Luoxia Town, and the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard.

Although he was puzzled, Liu Laohan still instinctively stood up and shouted as he walked towards the house: "Xiao Zhang, boil water, there are guests!" Xiao Zhang ......

Before Liu Laohan arrived in the hall, he saw a young man sleepily open the curtain and walked out of the back room, rubbing his eyes as he walked, and complained: "No, this season, where will there be any guests, the shopkeeper won't be dazzling!"

"Hey, I said how verbose you kid, old man, I've been here for decades, I don't dare to say anything else, my eyesight is absolutely fine, how can I be dazzled!

"Don't dare, don't dare, the shopkeeper's eyesight is well-known in the town, otherwise it would be impossible to live here peacefully for so many years, I said the wrong thing, I'm going to boil water, hehe......" Xiao Zhang saw Liu Laohan's displeasure, laughed a few times, and ran into the kitchen.

"Stinky boy, run fast, or see how I clean you up!" Liu Laohan muttered a few words towards Xiao Zhang's back, then put down the account book in his hand and turned to the door to greet the guests.

As soon as Liu Laohan walked to the door, he saw that the group of figures had arrived in front of his restaurant.

I saw a group of seven people, riding a white horse, with a hat on their heads, wearing a robe, and a long sword pinned to their waists, but there was a green veil hanging on the hat, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"Oh, in the rainy season, a few distinguished guests came from afar, and they got cold on the road, hurry up and drink a cup of hot tea to warm up!" Liu Laohan hurriedly greeted a few people, and was about to pull the reins of the leading man's horse.

"No!" a childish voice sounded, and the leader jumped off the horse sideways, leaving Liu Laohan's hand behind.

The six people behind him also turned over and dismounted, and Liu Laohan's outstretched hand suddenly froze in the air, slightly embarrassed.

"I'm a fierce horse, others can't touch it easily, you're old, I'm afraid of frightening you!" The leader explained when he saw that Liu Laohan looked a little uncomfortable.

"It's the old man, I'm reckless, I hope the guest officer won't be surprised! Come, a few guest officers are invited!" Liu Laohan also understood people, and immediately understood that these white horses were not ordinary horses, and turned sideways to welcome a few people into the house.

The man in the lead turned and stroked his horse's mane, nodded to the men behind him, handed the reins to the man behind him, and turned and walked into the restaurant.

"Come on, freshly brewed hot tea, a few guest officers, please use it slowly!"

As soon as the few people entered the house, before they could sit down, Xiao Zhang had already packed up a table and served a pot of hot tea along the way.

The leader looked at Xiao Zhang, nodded, took off the hat and coat and put it aside, and beckoned a few people in the group to sit down.

Only then did Liu Laohan see the appearance of several people, and saw that the leader was dressed in a green shirt, looking immature, and he looked like he might only be fifteen or sixteen years old, but he had a heroic face. Except for a white-bearded old man among the six people who accompanied him, the remaining five strong men were all dressed in black power suits and dressed as swordsmen.

"Shopkeeper, prepare three upper rooms for us, and then bring you the good food and wine you are good at here!" the white-bearded old man greeted Liu Laohan as soon as he sat down.

"Okay, a few guest officers, wait a minute, the wine and food will be here soon!" Liu Laohan replied, and ran towards the kitchen as he spoke.

The white-bearded old man waited for Liu Laohan to walk out of the house, looked around again, and saw that there was nothing unusual, then leaned sideways against the young man in the lead and whispered: "Young master, the weather is not good right now, I'm afraid it's not safe to rush into the Sunset Forest, let's rest here for a night, and then make plans when the weather clears tomorrow!"

The young man in the green shirt nodded and replied, "Uncle Mo, just do it according to your opinion, my father had already explained before leaving, let me obey your orders on this trip!"

"Young Master is too modest, you are the first person in the younger generation of Wuyang City, you reached the Sword Sect at the age of fifteen, even if you are those geniuses in the imperial capital, it may be nothing more than that! Originally, it was enough to have you alone on this trip, and letting the old man and his party accompany you out was just icing on the cake!" said the white-bearded old man ashamedly.

"Uncle Mo, don't say that, this matter is very important, there can't be a mistake, if it weren't for the fact that my father couldn't go out of the city, he would definitely come in person. I have little experience, how can I go alone, if not, my father will not invite you to go out of the mountain! We must be foolproof, otherwise ......" replied with a serious expression on the young man in the green shirt.

The white-bearded old man was silent for a while, nodded, turned to the other people and admonished: "Although the adventurers of the Sunset Forest are rarely visited during the spring rain, you should not take it lightly, don't sleep too hard when you sleep at night, once you find any abnormal movements, you must first ensure the safety of the young master!"

"Understood, Uncle Mo!" the five replied in unison.

The young man in the green shirt wanted to say anything more, but when he saw Liu Laohan and Xiao Zhang walking out of the house carrying the food, he didn't say anything more.

"A few guest officers, the food is coming!"

After Liu Laohan and Xiao Zhang brought the wine and food to the table, they waited aside.

Seeing this, the white-bearded old man took out a gold coin from his arms, threw it to Liu Laohan, and said: "Shopkeeper, your place is not big, but the food is good, go and help us prepare the room, after a long journey, we have to have a good rest!"

Liu Laohan was overjoyed, put the gold coin in his pocket, and pulled Xiao Zhang, who was about to boast a few words, to turn around and clean up the room.

Walking out of the dining room, Xiao Zhang pulled away Liu Laohan's hand, and said with some displeasure: "What are you pulling me for, the shopkeeper, the guests praise me for the delicious food, maybe they want to reward me!"

"I said why are you so blind, people want to rest, people have something to discuss, it's not good for us to be present and hear!" Liu Laohan glanced at Xiao Zhang, took out the gold coin from his arms, stroked it a few times, and sighed: "It seems that this must be from a big family, and it is really generous!"

"Hey, shopkeeper, this gold coin is a delicious reward for the guests to see the food cooked, there is a share of mine in it, you don't want to swallow it alone!" Xiao Zhang looked at the gold coin in Liu Laohan's hand and said hurriedly.

"Hey, you stinky boy, you've been working with me for four or five years, old man, when have I ever treated you badly! Of course I know that I have your share!" Liu Laohan said, then took out a bag from his pocket and threw it to Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang took the bag, put it in his hand and checked it, and immediately smiled happily, and said flatteringly: "Hehe, I know that the shopkeeper is interesting enough!"

"Hey, I said you kid, don't say I didn't remind you, you have to learn to read words and emotions in the future, fortunately, this time we met the children of a big family, if it were those adventurers who lived on the knife edge, you were there without knowing the times just now, maybe one day you would be chopped alive!" Liu Laohan looked at Xiao Zhang and reminded solemnly.

"I know, I won't speak in the future, just listen to your orders!"

Xiao Zhang listened to Liu Laohan's words, and he was also a little nervous, it was not the first time Liu Laohan told him this, and his performance on weekdays was okay, maybe he hadn't been in contact with outsiders in the past two or three months, which made him a little relaxed.

You must know that Luoxia Town is adjacent to the Sunset Forest, although it belongs to the Kamikaze Country, there is no imperial garrison at all, it can be regarded as an outlaw place, and it is a mixed place, especially in summer and autumn, there is an endless stream of adventurers, and those who exchange their lives for money are not something that he can provoke as an ordinary person, and a careless person may die on the spot.

Xiao Zhang recalled the slaughtered town residents he had seen in the past, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Shopkeeper, how do you know that those people outside are from big families?"

Liu Laohan's face raised a sense of confidence, and he said proudly: "Our ancestors and grandchildren have run this restaurant in Luoxia Town for three generations, what do you think you rely on, that is, eyesight! Let me tell you, as far as they can ride that white horse, if I see it correctly, it should be a fourth-level spirit beast wind spirit horse!"

"What?!Wind Spirit Pony?!" Xiao Zhang exclaimed in surprise.

"You're looking for death!" Liu Laohan scolded, hurriedly covered Xiao Zhang's mouth, and turned his head to listen.

Seeing that Xiao Zhang's cry did not attract the attention of the group outside, Liu Laohan continued: "I'll tell you, don't believe it, I'm right!"

"Oh my God, the last time I heard an adventurer mention it, the Wind Spirit Pony is the fastest spirit beast below level six, one horse can cost thousands of gold coins, and their group is seven, it's too scary!" Xiao Zhang seemed to be a little unable to believe his ears.

"Hmph, what is this, if you know the cultivation of those people outside, don't be scared to death!" Liu Laohan saw Xiao Zhang's incredulous look, and said again.

"Cultivation, isn't it true that you don't have spiritual power, and you can still see other people's cultivation?" Xiao Zhang asked in disbelief.

"Hmph, although I don't have spiritual power, I'm not blind, if I see it right, those five strong men should all be great sword masters, that young man may have already stepped into the Sword Sect!" and that white-bearded old man ......" Liu Laohan pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "It's a sword venerable !!"
