Jiujiang County, official road.

A fast horse from the Western Regions ran a few points faster than the spring breeze.

The horse is black, except for a crescent-shaped white hair on its forehead and a small horn behind its left ear.

When the horse was born, the owner of the horse farm said that it was a deformity and a bad omen, and wanted to strangle it with a rope. It happened that the white prince, who was in the horse business, went to choose a horse.

She looked like it, and invited a famous man who knew how to go horse, and took a look, and the famous man shouted "strange" three times in a row, and the white prince was naturally very happy.

Seeing this, the owner of the horse farm did not mention the strangulation of the horse, and sat on the ground and raised the price.

The Bai family was far from being as wealthy as it is now, but the eldest prince of Bai rarely spent a lot of money.

Later, there were rumors that the owner of the racecourse and the horse did a game together, and cheated the white prince's silver.

Bai Dagongzi has become a joke in the Jiangnan business community.

That year, the imperial court conscripted troops to fight, and each horse farm smashed the pot to sell iron and horses, and when the war started, it was sold at a good price, who would have thought, the enemy emperor died suddenly, the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and the court was unstable, so he hurriedly sent envoys to sue for peace, and also offered gold and silver treasures.

Without the demand of the government, the price of horses plummeted, and the horse farms went bankrupt one after another.

Soon, the new emperor of the enemy country cleared the obstacles in the court and began to seek expansion.

The battle finally started.

The price of horses rebounded, and Bai Dagongzi, as the largest horse merchant, made a lot of money, and since then he has monopolized the horse farm business, and has become the richest man in Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

According to rumors, the fall in horse prices this time was all done by Bai Dagongzi.

She calculated that the old emperor of the enemy country had little time, and he had lost his domineering spirit, and she also calculated that the new emperor with a brilliant mind would definitely delay the army and ask for peace, so when the old emperor had not yet died, she spread rumors that the two countries were ready to fight, so that the horse farm desperately farmed horses, and then bought at a low price until the horse market collapsed.

No one knows whether the rumors are true or not, if it is true, how can this white prince know how to do business, she simply has a talent for governing the country.

Even when the emperor heard about this, he once said: "Is there really such a strange person in the world? I want to see you. ”

The emperor just said it casually, and didn't really mean to see her, but this was already an incomparable glory.

A businessman, even if he has a bigger family than the white prince, does not have the honor of being praised by the emperor.

Therefore, no matter whether the Bai family's business is really the No. 1 in Jiangnan, no one dares to grab the title of "No. 1 in Jiangnan" from Bai Dagongzi.

The one-horned Cangyue that made Bai Dagongzi a laughing stock, because he had a lost connection with this matter, was touted by the good deeds as a mascot that could attract wealth.

Someone wanted to buy this horse for 10,000 dollars, but was rejected by Bai Dagongzi.

Now, the owner is dead, and the horse is lent to Yan Ruyu.

Ma Tong's human nature, perceiving the anxiety of his master, has been running without eating or drinking for a day or two nights, but the speed has not decreased at all, it is really a good horse.

Yan Ruyu, who was galloping for two days and nights, did not dare to be sloppy, he always held a wooden box in his hand, even though the horse ran more smoothly than the eight-lift sedan chair, he was still not at ease, for fear that there would be a little bump in the box and make the eldest prince of Wu in the box feel wronged.

In the evening, the inn.

Yan Ruyu rented the best stables for the horses and bought the most expensive forage, while she only lived in the most ordinary guest rooms.

Sitting at the table, he called the innkeeper, took out a piece of silver, and asked, "Do you have an ice cellar here?" ”

"The small shop is simple, where can I afford to build an ice cellar," the shopkeeper looked at the silver, and longed for a hook in his eyes to hook the silver away, "However, if the guest officer adds some money, I can send my fellow to the largest restaurant in the city to buy you some ice." ”

Yan Ruyu took out another ingot of silver, and the shopkeeper took the silver, and shouted at the young man with a smile: "Wang Si! Hop on our stupid donkey, go to Furong Zhai to buy a basket of ice, and if you don't come back in an hour, I'll break your legs! ”

Wang Si dropped the rag and ran to the place where the donkey was tied in the backyard of the inn with his foot on the back of the head.

Yan Ruyu looked at that Wang Si twice, and finally dispelled the idea of lending him the one-horned Cangyue.

The shopkeeper personally brought him five steamed buns.

When he left Baifu, the old housekeeper prepared five hundred taels of silver for him, but he still decided to eat only white steamed buns and only stay in the cheapest rooms.

It's like some kind of punishment ritual, only by living the life of an ascetic can Yan Ruyu feel better in his heart.

The shopkeeper leaned in and whispered: "The sauce meat in the small shop is quite popular, and it is even more delicious with home-brewed millet wine, so come and try it?" ”

Yan Ruyu didn't answer, he didn't seem to hear the shopkeeper at all, picked up a steamed bun and started eating.

He held the steamed bun with one hand and pressed the wooden box on the table with the other, which was not enough, his eyes had to be fixed on the wooden box, and even the frequency of blinking was lower than usual.

When the shopkeeper wanted to say something more, a big man came in.

The big man has ringed eyes, a beard, a Chinese face, two thick eyebrows flying straight into the sideburns, standing at the door more than a head taller than the shopkeeper, twice as wide, he is shirtless, revealing a hilly muscle, and holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand. Obviously as strong as a cow, but when he walked, the creaking wooden floor did not make a sound, and no matter how he lifted or landed when walking, the ghost head knife in his hand was always three inches above the ground.

"Guest officer, please, come from afar, hard work......"

Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, Dahan was already sitting opposite Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu's eyes were still staring at the wooden box on the table, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"What did you just say? Good beef and millet wine here? Dahan took out a piece of broken silver, pointed at Yan Ruyu and said to the shopkeeper: "Bring him three catties of beef and a jar of millet wine, I will please." ”

"Gotcha!" The shopkeeper weighed the silver in his hand, and ran into the back hall with wind under his feet.

Today is really a good day, and he wants to give three more incense sticks to the God of Wealth in the back hall.

When the wine and meat were served, the big man first picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, and then drank the wine again.

"Hahaha, happy!" After drinking, the big man's face began to redden, and his voice was a little higher, "You should also eat some meat and drink some wine, you can eat such a delicious meal at the last meal, and it is worth dying in my hands." ”

"But I can't die yet." Yan Ruyu's hand pressed on the wooden box increased his strength.

Dahan stared at the wooden box and said, "From the moment you kill the eldest prince of Wu, it is up to you whether you are dead or alive." ”

"I know." Yan Ruyu took another bite of the steamed bun and said in a deep voice: "Give me a month, and if you want to kill me in a month, I will let you kill." ”

"I'm willing to give you a month, I'm afraid others won't."

As soon as the ghost's sad words fell, an old man with a white beard walked leisurely into the inn.

The old man was wearing a gray Taoist robe, his white hair was tied into a Taoist bun, a verdant hosta was put on his hair, and he held a dust whisk in his hand, and he was a fairy wind bone.

The old man smiled and waved to the big man, "In the next worry-free real person, the eldest prince of Wu once had a life-saving grace for me, and asked the ghost brother to give me the enemy's life." ”

The ghost slapped the table worriedly, "Shouldn't Master Wu repay me for saving my life?" Are you an ungrateful person when I see sorrow? ”

"It's going to be difficult, he only has one life, how can we divide the two?" As he spoke, Sanssouci sat down at the table.

"I have an idea." The ghost saw sorrow and muttered in the ear of the carefree real person.

Carefree real people clapped their hands and laughed: "Good idea!" Fair enough! That's it! ”

Before the words fell, the dust whisk had already made a move, rolling straight to the wooden box on the table.

The ghost head knife in the hand of the ghost was not to be outdone, and it slashed lightly towards the hand of the worry-free real person holding the dust.

Seeing that the dust was about to be rolled up on the wooden box, and seeing that the ghost head knife was about to slash at the wrist of the carefree real person, Yan Ruyu was still staring at the wooden box, eating the white bun unhurriedly.

The fiery secret weapon broke out of the air!

There was only one hidden weapon, but it hit two people.

The ghost and the carefree real person let go at the same time, and the dust whisk and the ghost head knife fell to the ground, and the dust whisk rolled twice with a gurgling turn.

Two small circular wounds appeared on the backs of their hands near the tiger's mouth, the wounds were not deep, but the blood that flowed out was black.

"Not good! Poisonous! ”

Carefree Zhenren quickly hit several acupuncture points on his arm, twisting his head to look around.

The ghost saw that the poisonous blood at the wound was forced out, and soon a pool of black blood flowed under his feet.

"Who is plotting against me?" Onimi said angrily.

"Please also show up, if there is any misunderstanding, let's clarify it in person." The voice of the carefree real person can still be forcefully calm, but the corners of his eyes have begun to twitch slightly.

He has already guessed the identity of the other party, there is no more than one person who has such a means in the rivers and lakes, and everyone knows the viciousness of this person. It is said that she eats a living person every day, and only eats a little meat from the tip of her heart, with a little tendon in the middle of her liver, and the rest of the part is generously rewarded to her men.

Her subordinates are nothing more than a scorpion, a poisonous snake, a white wolf not much smaller than a bear, and the amount of food is not too large, just enough to eat one person.

Mink Ruyi.

The eighth-ranked master on the Musou spectrum.

Although she was only ranked eighth, none of the people in front of her were willing to provoke her, and Yan Ruyu couldn't wait to walk around when she saw her.

This is a very difficult and fatal opponent, but this opponent came to the door by himself, Yan Ruyu's hand on the wooden box began to sweat, and he had to be doubly careful.

Mink Ruyi wore a pink and green Luo skirt, and the lotus step moved lightly, sitting in the only empty seat left at the square table, and the four people happened to surround the table.

A small fiery red scorpion climbed out of the placket of the carefree real person, and when he saw the scorpion, the clothes on the back of the carefree real person were completely soaked.

The little scorpion held its chelate with its poisonous tail, climbed up Mink Ruyi's hand on its toes, and hid along her arm into the sleeve of her coat.

It was really a white arm, whiter than a washed lotus root, so white that it seemed to give off the luster of fine porcelain.

But if you dare to touch her arm, just one click, you can get dozens of poisons in your body and kill you on the spot.

Mink Ruyi smiled sweetly at Yan Ruyu, revealing two small tiger teeth and a small dimple, and asked softly, "Did you kill Grand Master Wu?" ”

"It's me."

"It's going to be difficult, I wanted to marry him." Mink Ruyi frowned, the distressed look was a man who couldn't help but feel a crisp in his heart when he saw it.

Her two big eyes can also speak, and when she wants to laugh, the smile always appears first in her pupils.

At this time, her pupils smiled, and she smiled wittily.

"However, I don't worry when I see you, I want to marry you now."

This is really good news, for Yan Ruyu, as long as the other party is not here to ask for his life, it is good news, but at this moment he is not happy at all.

To marry such a wife who is full of poison, it is better to become a monk. He would rather Mink Ruyi came to ask for his life.

"The little girl is messing around! If you leave quickly, we will write off the plot today, and I don't care about you! The poisonous blood from the wound has been removed, and the ghost head knife is back in the hands of the ghost.

Worry-free real people look at the ghosts and sorrows, and look at the mink Ruyi, simply look at the nose and the heart. He had made up his mind that the old monk had settled down, and it was best that no one could see him.

Mink Ruyi smiled and said to the ghost: "Huh? You're already able to move, a little better than the veteran next to you. If Yan Gongzi agrees to marry me, I am in a good mood, and I may be able to spare your life. ”

Seeing that the ghost was furious, he rounded the ghost head knife and cut it straight at Mink Ruyi's head.

If a young girl is slashed by such a knife, let alone her head, the whole person can be broken in half.

Mink Ruyi still had a smile on his face, and only raised his hand.

A black shadow flew out of her cuff and swooped down on the ghost's door.

The black shadow was flying above Yan Ruyu's hand on the wooden box, and he only felt a strong wind enveloping the coolness, which was a bit penetrating to the bone.

"Not good!"

Yan Ruyu drew his sword with his other hand and slashed at the black shadow.

The black shadow writhed strangely in the air and dodged.

Yan Ruyu slashed again with a backhand.

It's late.

An expression of disbelief froze on Onimi's face, and two shallow holes appeared in the middle of his chin, and the purple-black color began to spread from the small holes, covering his skin, and finally the whole face turned into a crooked eggplant.

He still sat stiffly, but he was dead.

A small black snake coiled around his neck, and two small black eyes stared at Yan Ruyu vigilantly, as if they held a grudge against the sword he had just drawn his sword.

Except for the occasional spit out the bright red snake core, the little snake was almost motionless.

Mink Ruyi sighed, "You are indeed a little stronger than the old man next to you, but he is much smarter than you." ”

Carefree Real Man got into a puddle of water, and he was so frightened that he wet his crotch, and only then did he come to his senses and squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Thank you girl for the compliment." ”

"Unfortunately, I don't like people who are too smart."

The black shadow flashed again, and two small holes were added to the chin of the carefree real person.

This time it was really unexpected, Yan Ruyu even forgot to use his sword to block for the Taoist.

"You killed the friend of the eldest prince of Wu." Yan Ruyu said.

"Who told them to take your life? I'm here to save you. When she speaks, Mink Ruyi is like a little girl waiting for an adult to reward her with candy.

Yan Ruyu took off the Taoist robe of the carefree real person, folded it into two layers and wrapped the wooden box in it, tied the knot, and pulled the knot vigorously to make sure that it was strong, and then carried the burden containing the wooden box in his left hand.

In the right hand is Wu Cuo's sword, which is unsheathed.

"Grand Master Wu must not want to see his friend die tragically, I will kill you, and I will do something for him."

Mink Ruyi looked at Yan Ruyu in disbelief, the ripples in her eyes fluctuated, "People came to save you, but you ...... You have no conscience! I...... I'll ignore you......"

The moment he raised his hand to wipe his tears, a black shadow suddenly flew out of Mink Ruyi's cuffs.

Yan Ruyu had seen this black shadow twice, and he had already thought of a series of tricks to kill the poisonous snake.

When he finished this series of tricks, the poisonous snake really broke into two and fell to the ground, and the stinking snake blood splashed on the table legs, which was disgusting.

"Xiao has no conscience, my sister will leave first, and I will come to play with you next time."

When I looked up, there was still the shadow of Mink Ruyi.

Looking closely at the broken snake on the ground, it turned out to be a vivid fake snake, and the snake body was even filled with several blood sacs.

"Murder! Help me! ”

After worshipping the God of Wealth, the shopkeeper came out of the inner room, and saw two dead people at first sight, and then he closed his mouth and looked at Yan Ruyu with a sword in his hand in horror.

He must have thought that Yan Ruyu had killed someone.

Yan Ruyu dispelled the idea of explaining, took out the one-horned Cangyue, turned over on the horse, and the guy who went to buy ice happened to come back.

Yan Ruyu leaned over, picked up the basket with ice cubes tied to the stupid donkey, knocked the horse's belly, and rode away.
