Flowers bloom and fall, flowers fall and flowers bloom. The young children are old, and the sideburns of the red-faced girl finally saw white hair. This year, three full years have passed since the battle that left countless legends in the martial arts.

The days of the coexistence of Song, Liao, Jin, Xixia, Dali, Tubo and Qing seem to be still yesterday, but at this moment the world has already been unified by a new dynasty, and the name of this dynasty is - Tian.

In just three years since the founding of the Celestial Empire, the new monarch appointed virtuous ministers and made great efforts to make the country peaceful, and the whole world showed a thriving scene.

At that time, in the late spring of March, at the corner of the southern part of the Yangtze River, a man in a blue shirt in his thirties took a big stride and was hurrying along the avenue.

Seeing that the sky was getting late, although the peach and willow were green and the spring was thick along the way, he had no intention of enjoying it, and silently calculated in his heart: "Today is March 24, as long as there is no delay on the road, he should be able to arrive this evening." ”

Although this person seems ordinary, he actually has a special identity.

His name is Tian Xuanyue, and the word "Tian" is the surname of the Celestial Empire, and there is no doubt that anyone with the surname "Tian" in the Celestial Empire will not be an ordinary person.

Tian Xuanyue has an important royal mission on this trip, but because of the slight fat in her body and the fact that she has been in the palace for a long time, she has been inactive for a long time, and she will suddenly be a little uncomfortable for such a long journey.

But he still has a good foundation, and after a few days of hurrying, he is much better.

With this mentality, he finally got his wish and arrived at his destination in the evening.

"There's an inn."

He raised his head, looked at the inn not far away, and softly read the words on the plaque above the inn.

That's right, the inn is called "Youma Inn", and from the outside, it looks like it's been quite a few years old.

Because on the right doorpost is the words "There are elegant guests who always patronize". The one on the left has been destroyed, and only the word "between" remains.

"It's finally here." Tian Xuanyue let out a long breath, and said silently in her heart while reading the words "There is an inn".

"Welcome to this guest!"

Tian Xuanyue had just walked into the inn, and immediately a smiling shopkeeper rushed out and greeted him warmly.

Tian Xuanyue raised her eyes and saw that this inn was old. But there are a lot of people in the inn, probably because it's time to eat, right?

"Is this Yake going to be sharpened or is he going to stay in the hotel?"

After hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Tian Xuanyue thought for a while, "It's getting late today, why don't you rest for a night and go to work early tomorrow morning." ”

Thinking of this, he said, "Stay in the hotel." ”

"Howler! Prepare a room for this elegant guest! ”

That Xiao Er was very clever, and when he saw Tian Xuanyue's good bearing, and the ornaments on his body seemed to be valuable, he had already vaguely guessed that this person should be a person with a solid family.

Really. After hearing Xiao Er's words, Tian Xuanyue's frowning brows stretched slightly, and then she took out a silver ingot and handed it to him, "Go and prepare some hot water for me, and send a table of good wine and food to my room!" ”

The moment he saw this ingot of silver, Xiao Er's eyes lit up, but after hearing Tian Xuanyue's words, Xiao Er shook his head again and again:

"This elegant guest can't help it, the rules of this store. All meals can only be eaten in the lobby on the first floor, and meals are not allowed in the guest rooms. ”

"Huh?" Tian Xuanyue was stunned for a moment. He hadn't come across an inn with such rules, wasn't it the freedom of the guests to eat where they wanted? However, he thought about it and didn't say it, but said to Xiao Er, "You go and prepare a table of food for me and send it to my room, and the rest is yours." ”

A penia, after deducting the money for hot water and meals, must be at least two-thirds left. For Xiao Er, it is absolutely impossible to have such an opportunity.

Tian Xuanyue estimated that Xiao Er should agree this time, and he had even heard Xiao Er's heavy gasp. Who knew that the sound of Xiao Er's breathing did become heavy, but his eyes became clear after a while:

"I'm sorry for this gentleman, rules are rules, if you don't want to eat in the lobby on the first floor. You can go out and walk east, the street outside is the most famous snack street in the town, and you can come back after eating. ”

Isn't this person sick?

Tian Xuanyue has never encountered a guest who pushes a guest out of the second child, you must know that the money for the meal in the inn is calculated separately, what is the point of him doing this!

However, thinking of the task of his trip, Tian Xuanyue still endured it, and he frowned when he looked slightly in the lobby.

Guy is in a special time right now, and there are almost no empty spaces in the lobby on the first floor.

The most important thing is that most of the people who eat are some reckless men who are five big and three coarse, and the noisy shouting makes people upset, and there are even many big men who pick their feet while drinking and picking vegetables, only to see him almost nauseated.

He was about to go to the snack street as Xiao Er said, but suddenly his eyes lit up.

I saw that in the corner of the lobby, there was only one person sitting at a table, that person was starry-eyed and dignified, and there was only a pot of wine, a plate of vegetables and a plate of meat on the table.

"Bring me the food there."

As he spoke, he pointed to the man's location.

The little er's eyes showed a slight hint of discoloration, and then he immediately nodded and said:

"Okay Yake, please wait!"

Tian Xuanyue nodded, and walked towards the man.

"This brother, is there anyone here?"

After hearing Tian Xuanyue's words, the man raised his head and glanced at Tian Xuanyue, and said lightly, "Yes." ”

"Uh......"

Tian Xuanyue couldn't help but pause, but he immediately continued, "I don't know how many people are here?" ”

"One person, that's me."

The man said without looking up.

“…… It turns out that Brother Tai is talking about yourself, so can I sit here? ”

"Whatever."

"Thank you."

Tian Xuanyue was overjoyed and hurriedly sat down.

He sat for a while, and saw that the other party didn't seem to want to take the initiative to talk to him, and he was happy to be relaxed, and it was much better to sit and eat with this person than those big men who picked their feet.

Although the appearance of the inn is a little old, the food is served quickly, and there is no such situation as "right away" and "wait a minute" in a small inn that makes you wait until you are hungry and there is no shadow of food.

This made Tian Xuanyue very satisfied, and after a day's journey, he also had a great appetite, and began to sweep like a whirlwind.

Seeing Tian Xuanyue ordering so many dishes by himself, the young man seemed to be a little surprised, but he just glanced at him and withdrew his gaze.

Out of politeness, Tian Xuanyue just wanted to beckon him to eat with him, but suddenly he shuddered, only to feel that something seemed to be wrong.

He raised his head suddenly, only to hear that the entire inn suddenly fell silent, and the shouting, shouting, and clashing of dishes and chopsticks just now all disappeared.

Cheon Hyun Moon bet that he could hear even if a needle fell on the ground at this moment.

What's going on?

He suddenly became vigilant, could it be that his identity was discovered?

Thinking of this, he immediately looked towards the door of the inn, but at this glance, he was surprised to find that all the people in the inn were doing the same thing at this moment - looking towards the door.

Tian Xuanyue couldn't help but look towards the door.

A cold wind blows.

Dead leaves fly.

There was a man walking on the bluestone path outside the house.

At the end of the road, there is a shop.

There is a plaque hanging from the door.

On the old plaque, there are four big characters clearly written, "There is an inn".

The man's shadow dragged longer and longer in the setting sun, and people couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness after seeing it.

At this moment, for some reason, the eyes of everyone in the entire inn seemed to be attracted by the person who was walking towards the "Inn", and it was difficult to take their eyes off.

Cheon Hyun Moon tried to restrain her desire to continue staring at him, and turned her head suddenly, only to see that the young man who was eating at the same table as him was still eating with his head down.

He looked around and found that the boy was the only one eating in the entire inn at the moment, which was particularly remarkable when everyone looked at the man outside the inn.

"This ......"

Cheon Hyun Yue knew very well that he was able to take his attention away from the man by relying on some secret method, but this young man ......

He was about to speak, but unexpectedly, the young man spoke first, and the object of his opening was the mysterious swordsman who had already entered the inn!

"You're here."

The young man didn't look up, but the faint voice was undoubtedly for the mysterious swordsman to hear.

"I'm coming."

The swordsman walked up to Tian Xuanyue and stopped, looked over Tian Xuanyue, looked directly at the young man, and said in the same light tone.

"You shouldn't have been."

"But I'm already here."

"You're here anyway, after all."

"I'm here anyway, after all."

Silence, silence so long that it feels suffocating!

Just when Tian Xuanyue was forced by this silence to can't help but want to speak, the young man next to him finally opened his mouth to break the silence:

"What are you doing here?"

It was the first time he had raised his head, and he was staring at the swordsman in front of him, who had more than one sword behind him, he was young, handsome, and looked full of energy.

But his eyes were deep and quiet. It was as deep as night, as quiet as the sea.

"You know what I'm here for."

The other party's eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at the young man without flinching and said.

The young man muttered slightly, "If I were you, I would never come here." ”

The young swordsman said, "I'm not you, so I'm here." ”

"You'll regret it."

"I will never regret it."

It seems that the two people carved in clay and wood are facing each other, but the sunset is getting more and more oblique.

It was still so silent, deathly silent.

The sun was about to set, and the young man looked at the setting sun in the distance and slowly stood up. (To be continued......)
