Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Gambling
The little fox didn't know if he understood, but he knew that he couldn't dig out the delicious food from his sleeve now, so he "hummed" with a wistful expression, and lay on Feng Changxue's arm softly, closed his eyes as if he was sleeping, and stopped moving lazily, with a noble posture that he let it go.
Bai Zhengyan looked at it, and couldn't help showing a look of love in his eyes, but that ray of envy flashed away, and in an instant, she turned into a faint coldness in her eyes.
The two came down from the mountain, chatting all the way, talking about everything.
Bai Zhengyan felt that this Feng boy was funny and easy-going, not only with clear and beautiful words, but also with a lot of hills and valleys in his chest. looks like an ordinary child of the rivers and lakes, and is more biased towards the son of a family. But he doesn't have the proud, noble, and self-proclaimed habits cultivated by the big family, but he has a chic and elegant atmosphere that is almost like that of the children of the rivers and lakes.
In the face of such a person whose identity is a mystery, the first thing that overflowed in her heart was not to be afraid and defensive, but to feel more cordial, and her words couldn't help but become more and more relaxed.
When he got to the bottom of the mountain, Bai Zhengyan first went to the inn to change into men's clothes, and prepared the accompanying food, before meeting Feng Changxue, who had gone to buy horses before, in the border town market.
Then the two left the border together and went straight to Nanshan City by the official road.
Along the way, the little fox was curled up in the sleeves of the wind and snow, except for food, and never came out, and no one teased it to pay attention, so arrogant.
Two days later, at noon, the two had just entered Nanshan City. Bai Zhengyan looked lightly at this Nanshan City, which was particularly prosperous because of the exchange of markets with Ul, and the characters and faces were different from the customs of Ul. Suddenly, a loud laugh was heard overhead, and two figures flew down from the side of the street like arrows, and came straight at the horses that were walking beside them.
Bai Zhengyan heard the sound of the fierce wind, and he was not afraid in his heart, but he just held the reins in one hand and stopped, and the tips of his other hanging fingers pinched two hidden weapons in his sleeves almost at the same time, and his posture was all about attacking and defending against emergencies at any time. And Feng Changxue, who was sitting on the horse, did not say a word, dragging the loose reins of the horse in his hand, slowly slowing down the pace of the horse, a pair of bright eyes turned slightly, but his expression was not very cautious.
The pedestrians near the street were also frightened by the menacing presence of this and that person, and they all ran away.
In just a moment, the two of them had already gone in the wrong direction, and they landed gently and skillfully beside Feng Changxue who was riding on a horse. One person grabbed his reins, turned over and fell to the ground, and the horse's head was also deflected by him, and said with a smile: "Brother Changxue, I didn't expect you to turn around so quickly." I'm making a bet with Xiao Mu, can you come back in these seven days? β
Feng Changxue looked at the splendid young man condescendingly, smiled faintly, pinched the soft skin of the little fox's neck from the cuffs, pulled it out, raised his eyebrows at them, and said, "You guys...... Who lost the bet? β
The splendid young man was stunned and couldn't help laughing.
The jade-faced young man standing on the side looked slightly shy, pouted and said, "I lost." β
"Brother Mu, if we lose and win, even if we tie?" Feng Changxue looked at Mu Jianqiu, a young man with a face like a crown of jade, with a smile on his face, and his tone was calm and authentic.
Mu Jianqiu's face showed a hint of unwillingness, but he didn't speak.
When the splendid young man saw that the situation was wrong, he hurriedly shouted: "Can't tie, can't tie, what about the three games we said would be two wins?" β
"Yang Xiaohou, are you afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" Feng Changxue threw the little fox who had always been reluctant to come out to show his befriendability into his sleeve again, and glanced obliquely at the man who was pulling the reins of his horse from his horse, and the smile in his eyes was long, and he couldn't tell whether it was anger or joy. Through the misty snow, the thin sunlight is falling on his handsome and picturesque face, as if plated with a layer of golden luster, slightly shining, looking more and more handsome, elegant and light.
Yang Xiaohou smiled presumptuously with a handsome face, but he smiled without fear of death: "Brother Changxue, there is no turning back as soon as the gamble opens, and you can only accompany you to the end to be the real hero." β
Mu Jianqiu raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yang Xiaohou, and also clenched his words and said, "That's true." β
Feng Changxue sighed, patted the horse's back, jumped down, and asked, "Then what do you want to bet on next?" His tone seemed helpless, but it seemed to be indifferent.
Mu Jianqiu snorted in hatred.
Yang Xiaohou couldn't help but smile, pointed to the direction of the guide, and said, "Meet at the Yuanshan Restaurant tonight, if you don't get drunk, you won't return." β
Listening to their bet and narration from a short distance, Bai Zhengyan's face was hidden in the hat, and the hidden weapon on his hand loosened his fingertips, and his face looked careless. These three people looked like they were the sons and daughters of the people in Beijing back then, singing on horses, drunk and laughing at the song building, doing nothing all day long, and couldn't help but feel a little unhappy and in a trance.
Before he heard how Qingfeng Changxue answered, he had already heard Yang Xiaohou laugh and asked, "Brother Changxue, who is this person behind you?" Wouldn't it be a beautiful woman in the city? β
Mu Jianqiu laughed instead of being angry, and said in a low voice: "What a floating wave disciple!" β
Feng Changxue also shook her head lightly in disapproval, and said with a smile: "Yang Xiaohou, your mouth will get into trouble sooner or later." He turned his head to Bai Zheng and smiled apologetically, before explaining to the two of them, "This is my friend I met by chance on the snowy mountain, and we teamed up to catch the snow fox. β
Yang Xiaohou slipped his eyes, saw that Feng Changxue was right, and his expression became a little serious, and he looked at Bai Zhengyan's chivalrous outfit, and changed his words: "This young man, I don't know how to call it?" β
Outside the Xiangyun Inn.
Under the gray sky, the faΓ§ade of the inn inscribed with the word Xiangyun is majestic and gorgeous, not to mention the three sons and brothers with rich clothes standing under the lintel. Not to mention that Feng Changxue itself is already a dragon and a phoenix, and few can be matched, and the two people who are almost standing next to him are also Yushu Linfeng, with a dignified appearance.
Yang Xiaohou, who was smiling, was dressed in a black robe with brocade patterns and sleeves exposed, his hair was all tied up and tied with green hostas, handsome as a beautiful girl, and the eyes of the presumptuous fox were full of looks.
And the other taciturn Mu Jianqiu, with a handsome face, a frosty face, and a pair of eyes that are calm and indifferent. The pitch-black hair was tied up with a white jade crown, and the body was wrapped in a white robe, with the sleeves revealing a blue robe, and a pair of splendid snow boots. His posture is tall and slender, and his whole body seems to have an unapproachable momentum, which is simply cold, a little colder than this damn weather.
One is as clear as a handsome bamboo; A demon is like a summer flower; One is as cold as winter snow, but it is undeniable that these three people are all extremely outstanding characters.
She followed behind them, handed the horse to the shopkeeper, and slowly walked up the stairs.
The three sons in front of the inn, but seeing that the person in front of him was also dressed in white clothes and white fur, his slender posture was pleasing to the eye, and he was handsome and free and easy.
Even though she was condescendingly looked down, it still made people feel that she was in a majestic place, and her eyebrows and eyes were hidden in the curtain of the hat, revealing her demeanor. When she stepped down the steps in front of everyone, she slowly raised her eyes, and glanced at the three handsome sons in front of the door generously, Yang Xiaohou and Mu Jianqiu both felt that they looked like a pair of eyes that were shining like pearls in the morning dew through the gauze curtain. The smile on her cheeks loomed, her face was beautiful, her hands were fair-skinned, and she gently hugged her fists at them, acting as a courtesy, her voice was gentle, and she was gentle and beautiful: "When Bai first arrived in your realm, he came to disturb him with Feng Gongzi, and asked the two brothers to bear with me." β
Yang Xiaohou hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where to talk, where to talk, Little Brother Bai is even more lively here, I welcome it." β
Mu Jianqiu snorted low and didn't say a word. I don't like this kind of young man who is as beautiful as a woman in my heart, but this demeanor silhouette is even better than Yang Xiaohou, which makes him even more impatient, and he wants to retreat and see out of sight. The reason why he still looks at Yang Xiaohou with a faceless face like this is because Yang Xiaohou except for that face, the rest are all the bloody men in his eyes.
Feng Changxue smiled slightly and said, "It's cold outside the door, let's go inside first and then talk?" β
Everything was arranged, the four of them lived in an upper room, and Yang Xiaohou was very generous. Bai Zhengyan insisted on paying the bills by himself, but Yang Xiaohou stopped him, saying that the elder brother was a brother, and the elder brother should take care of the younger brother when she was away, so she must not see outside.
Feng Changxue held the little fox in his hand and sat on the side with a gentle smile: "Since it is for my brother to invite my brother to come, I should do my best for my brother as a landlord." What's more, Yang Xiaohou's family is rich, and he is not a pity for a few taels of silver, so the virtuous brother will let him treat him hospitablely. β
His words made Bai Zhengyan smile slightly, but Mu Jianqiu sat down at the table in the guest hall early in the morning to drink himself with a pot and ignored them. Yang Xiaohou came back from greeting the shopkeeper with a smile, and when he heard this, his face was displeased, and he said angrily: "Brother Changxue, you say this, why am I uncomfortable listening to it?" β
"You may have itchy skin." Feng Changxue smiled softly, not taking his dissatisfaction to heart at all.
When Yang Xiaohou heard this, he suddenly rested on the side like a defeated rooster, lifted his robe and sat beside Mu Jianqiu with a grin, quite a bit of anger and dare not speak.
Feng Changxue didn't even lift his eyes, and said softly to Bai Zhengyan: "There is not enough stove in the guest hall here, Brother Bai Xian should go to the room for lunch!" Don't worry about us, if your brother goes out, he will send someone to inform his virtuous brother. β
Bai Zhengyan didn't postpone it, and didn't say Feng Changxue, because he knew that she was a woman, and in order to avoid suspicion, it was not appropriate for her to have dinner with the three strange men; Or the three of them have some private conversations in the room, which is inconvenient for her to know. Besides, she had come to get the little fox in the first place, and had never thought of joining them.
