Chapter 2 Chance Encounters

Located at the junction of Jingzhou and Liangzhou, the Cyclamen Inn is bustling with guests on weekdays, mostly for long-distance business trips.

"Shopkeeper, here are a few side dishes and a pot of wine. The sound of a silver bell caught the attention of the diners, and they saw a young woman and a white-bearded old man walk in. The young woman had a graceful figure, a gorgeous face, her skin exuded a pearl-like luster, and she wore a violet tunic dress that made her figure even more provocative. The white-bearded old man was tall, dressed as a warrior, and a pair of eagle eyes burst out with wisps of light under his white eyebrows.

The young woman looked at the inn with a hint of charm, and the men seemed to be captured, and their eyes refused to take their eyes off her, and many of them swallowed their saliva. A casual smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and the young woman was obviously satisfied with the men's worship of her.

The innkeeper immediately bent forward, and said with a sneer, "The girl and this hero are here, please." ”

After the two of them were seated, the shopkeeper arranged for the men to prepare wine and food, and said to the young woman: "It's getting late, do the girls and heroes need to stay in the hotel?"

"Of course, I also bothered the shopkeeper to arrange two upper rooms for us. The young woman said, playing with a wisp of her own green silk.

The white-bearded old man took out a silver ingot from his bosom and threw it to the shopkeeper, "There are also two horses outside, give me good water and good food to serve." After serving, there will be a reward. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it, and you're both satisfied. The shopkeeper stroked the silver ingot with a smile on his face and retreated.

"Miss, tomorrow we will set off to the west to the west is the boundary of Liangzhou, and in less than half a month, we will be able to reach Shushan with our two black horses. The white-bearded old man said.

"Lao Ding, is the Shushan faction really the number one faction in the cultivation realm?" asked the young woman.

"Of course, although people like us who practice martial arts do not often come into contact with those who cultivate the truth, we also know that 'the cultivation of truth in the world is in the five factions, and above the five factions is only Shu Mountain'. Lao Ding replied, "Although our Situ family is also a big family in Yuzhou, it is still far inferior to the Shen family. After Shen Jing became the head of the family, he oppressed other families, and the families with no background were even directly exterminated, with men being taken into slavery and women becoming courtesans. The old man was far-sighted, and he had expected that other big families would have this fate sooner or later, so he wronged Miss and defected to Shushan......"

"Hmph, the Shen family is the head of the five major families and wantonly bullies us, our Si Tu Lan will definitely want that Shen Jing to taste it. The young woman narrowed her eyes and said hatefully.

"The 'immortal hand' of Shushan, Situ Rin, is the master of the Thousand Machines Hall, and he has a very high rank in the Situ family, and the master has to call his great-ancestor. When he was a child, he was favored by the former head of Shushan and accepted as an apprentice, and he has never returned to Situ's house since then. I heard that this ancestor was extremely interested in clever things, so he spent a lot of money to buy a pair of machine people. Miss will have to take care of it then. ”

"Yes. That's natural, I will definitely lay a foundation in Shushan, so that my Situ family also has a Xiuzhen sect to support me. Situ Lan said, flicking a wisp of green silk to the back of her head, her face like frost.

"Well, there's a warrior nearby. Lao Ding suddenly said and looked at the door of the inn. Situ Lan also looked over, only to see a young man walk in, he was slender and tall, his skin was a pale bronz, his back was a bee's waist, his eyebrows were tied with a pale cyan forehead, and his long black hair was casually draped behind his head. Wearing a black-colored power suit, the sleeves are rolled up to reveal the muscular forearms, the eyes under the oblique sword eyebrows are smart and unruly, the face is as angular as a carving, and the thin lips are gently pursed to reveal indescribable perseverance.

"Shops, stays. The young man said without hurry, and his voice was very hearty, as warm as the sun, and it was very comfortable.

"I'm sorry, this young man, this store is full. The shopkeeper replied.

"It's full? Hehe, think of a way. As he spoke, the young man threw a pearl the size of a duck's egg from his hand and landed on the counter. The pearl didn't tremble on the counter, as if it had been there.

"Tsk, that's good. Lao Ding admired the young man's martial arts, and took a sip of his wine glass.

"Yes, the bead is a fine pearl of the night. Situ Lan stared at the pearl and said.

"Ahem" Lao Ding almost vomited out of the wine he had just drunk.

"Shaoxia, even if I have a room, I don't have the money to pay you back, this bead is worth a fortune. The shopkeeper looked at the baby intently and swallowed secretly.

"You don't have to pay it back, you can keep the rest for yourself. ”

"Oh, okay, I'll arrange it. The shopkeeper hurriedly held the bead in his arms, as if he was afraid that it would grow wings and fly.

The young man smiled inadvertently, walked straight to Situ Lan's side, and sat down at the table next to them.

"This young man, we have good wine and good food here, why don't we come and sit together?" Situ Lanmei said to the young man with a smile.

The man nodded and said hello, and sat on the side of the table, "Thank you, girl, in Xia Xiao He, you haven't asked the girl's surname Fang yet?"

"Xiao Gongzi, the little girl Situ Lan, this is the housekeeper Ding Lao of the father. Situ Lan replied.

"Old decay Dink, the young man's kung fu is very tight. After saying that, he arched his hand to Xiao He, and at the same time smashed his left foot into Xiao He's lower abdomen with a strong wind.

There was a muffled "bang", Dink's feet seemed to touch iron, but Xiao He didn't move as if nothing had happened.

"Xiao He is just a reckless man, and he doesn't deserve such praise from the old hero. ”

As he spoke, his lower abdomen shrank back, and then he flicked Dink's foot back.

Dink suddenly felt the elastic force climb up his left foot, and hurriedly transferred the force to his right foot, and with a "click", the floor was cracked.

"Hey, what's wrong with the old hero, what's so angry?" Xiao He asked knowingly.

"It's nothing, haha, Brother Xiao, come, the old man will pour you a cup. ”

As he spoke, he slammed his palm on the wine jug, and the wine spewed out from the spout of the jug and rushed straight to Xiao He's face, and Xiao He picked up the wine glass and waved it on the table.

The spurted wine fell into the wine glass without spilling a drop, and Xiao He thanked him and drank it all. After going back and forth like this, Dink knew that this young man's martial arts were not under him, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

"Yo, Xiao Gongzi is a good means. Situ Lan's voice was extremely charming, but at this time, Xiao He was extremely disgusted in his heart.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Miss Situ is a good means, good footwork, even the elderly and children are willing to bow down," he said. When Situ Lan heard this, she suddenly remembered that she had taught a pair of grandparents and grandchildren in the daytime, but because they were in her way, her face immediately became gloomy: "What do you mean by what the son said? The little woman didn't provoke the child." ”

"It's nothing, I'm just nosy. Fortunately, the old man and the child are fine, otherwise the two of you would not be sitting here. Xiao He said.

"Nosy silly boy, this girl can afford your three-legged cat kung fu to let you drink a glass of wine at the same table, but you don't know how to lift up here!" Situ Lan's angry eyebrows seemed to burst out of flames.

"This young man, I think there is some misunderstanding between us. Miss, please don't get angry, don't hurt the peace. Dink said, poured another cup for Xiao He, and handed it over.

Xiao He didn't appreciate it, he said to Situ Lan: "The girl is so beautiful but has a vicious heart, it's a sigh of anger." After speaking, he turned his head and left, leaving Situ Lan stunned.

"Lao Ding, you go and kill that kid for me. Situ Lan said calmly, obviously she often asked Lao Ding to do this kind of thing.

"Miss, this person's martial arts are not under me, I'm afraid ......"

"Forget it, I've written it down, let his head hang around his neck for a few more days, and I'll slaughter him with my own hands. ”

Dink suddenly felt a cold chill, women are really terrible, he, who has lived for most of his life, knows the terrible things about women, and a man can kill a man without paying attention. How many innocent people he had killed for Situ Lan, he couldn't even remember it himself.

This is a female devil, even a child will not be spared, if she hadn't interceded herself, she would have tortured the grandfather and grandson to death.

At the same time, Dink retrieved the shadow of his youth from the young man named Xiao He, thinking that he was also so fond of fighting and full of a sense of justice, and now he has become a woman's killing tool. Fate is often unsatisfactory, how many people can stick to their hearts?

The next day, Stuart and Dink found their two horses missing, leaving only a note in the stable: "Horse thief, Xiao He Ye." ”

That Xiao He had long since disappeared, so the two of them had to buy two ordinary horses and continue on their way.

The innkeeper was also trembling with anger, who knew that the jewel turned out to be fake, and it turned into powder when he slapped it with his hand.
