Early the next morning, Ye Leng Yan freshened up, changed into a white gauze dress, and pulled a long bun. packed up, called a frost maid who was always by his side and called "Liuli" to pretend to be an accompanying maid, and set off.

Before going out, Ye Lengyan touched the black and shiny Sky Dome Longbow hanging on the wall of his boudoir, hesitated again and again, but gave up and decided not to take this thing on the trip. She was so worried, on the one hand, because she was confident enough to calmly deal with all kinds of unexpected things, and on the other hand, she also felt that the longbow was too much of an eyesore, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.

Sure enough, after walking for several days in a row, crossing many towns and villages of the Feihuang Clan and the Cangyan Clan, no one noticed her master and servant. However, it stopped along the way, or in the inn or the market, which attracted the favor of many handsome boys. There are bold and frivolous people, who come forward with a few small people to talk, but they are all blocked by the night cold smoke with a silent ignorance of the fireworks in the world. When those sons and brothers saw her beauty at the beginning, they couldn't hold back their inner restlessness and flocked to her, but then they found that this was really an ice beauty, and after touching her nose, they also gave up, only laughing and scolding from afar.

I didn't care about the cold smoke at night, just ate all the way and stayed overnight, so I walked non-stop for about two months, and finally came to the first city of the Jialan Peninsula, Wutong City.

After booking a good private room at a Yuelai inn in the city, Ye Lengyan carried the maid Liuli and walked around the city, hoping to get some news.

When I first came here, I saw the city full of cars and horses, the pavilions and buildings were magnificent, the street market was full of people, and the cold smoke at night could not help but be tempted for a while, and I forgot to return. After all, it is a girl's heart, and she has lived in the barren city of the Far North Plateau all the year round, where have you seen such a flowery and lively leisure, and it is inevitable to be greedy and playful. Especially after passing through the rouge gouache shops or bead hairpin jewelry stores in the downtown area, I saw all kinds of fair women in and out of them, and I couldn't hold back my heart of beauty, and I was not in a hurry to ask around for news, but just pulled the glass to linger among the various shops, playing and choosing my favorite things.

"Wow, little master, look, this pearl hairpin is so exquisite!" in a clothing shop, Liuli pointed to a silver treasure hairpin inlaid with blue jade flowers.

Ye Lengyan heard the word "little master", frowned and glared at Liuli.

Liuli knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly changed her words: "Miss, take a look, do you want to try it?"

"It's really exquisite, you plug it in for me to try, can it look good. When Ye Lengyan heard this, he was really moved, so he asked Liuli to put it on her.

After Liuli put it on her, she couldn't help but be taken aback, and even said: "It's really a horse with a saddle, Miss, you can't look better when you wear this hairpin." ”

The night cold smoke was delighted, and he hurriedly picked up the bronze mirror on the side to see the details.

The shopkeeper on the side had a very good look, and hurriedly stepped forward and complimented with a smile: "This girl is naturally beautiful, bright and moving, this treasure hairpin with you can be described as a match made in heaven, and it seems that the girl is pretty and extraordinary, and she disciplines those handsome sons who fall in love at first sight." ”

"Phew, who wants those stinky men to come to see our young lady. Liuli on the side chirped.

Ye Lengyan hurriedly stopped the words of the glass, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper is just a compliment, why should you be angry." Then he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "How much does this pearl hairpin cost?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The girl is really a person who knows the goods, this hairpin is worth a lot of money, but it is made by a high-class craftsman with rare blue jade, and it takes thirty taels of silver." ”

"What, thirty silver dollars?!" Liuli couldn't help but shout: "Shopkeeper, you are asking for a sky-high price!"

"This girl's words are wrong, I am a rare good product, and I am the only one in the whole city, and if you go elsewhere, you can't buy it even for fifty dollars. The shopkeeper still had a smiling face and said unhurriedly.

"I want it, here is fine silver thirty, shopkeeper, you order. The night cold smoke pulled Liuli said, and took out thirty taels of fine silver from the money bag with one hand and put it on the table.

"No need to point it, when I see that the girl is a young lady from a big family, how can she deceive me, a little old man who does business. The shopkeeper smiled happily and busily collected the money, and then sent the master and servant of the night cold cigarette all the way to the outside of the store for a few steps before returning.

When he walked away, Liuli asked with a puzzled face: "Miss, do you know that these thirty silver dollars can buy his shop, he is deceiving you when you are young and don't understand." ”

"What's the matter, the rarest thing in this world is happiness, and the most precious thing is to be tempting, that is, to like it, why bother with the price. Ye Lengyan smiled softly: "Besides, we have no money in the cold land of the plateau on weekdays, so why should we care about this expense." ”

"Hmm...... That's ...... too." Liuli was speechless for a while.

In the blink of an eye, it was past noon, and the sun was in full bloom, shining a little sluggish and drowsy.

Ye Lengyan took Liuli to find a restaurant and sat down, and said: "I've been wandering around all morning, and I'm tired, eat something first, rest for a while, and we'll go to the outskirts of the city in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, miss, after walking for so long, I do have a sore back and legs. Liuli answered, and then unloaded the burden he was carrying, rested on the bench beside him, and rubbed his arm.

"You're used to following me on weekdays, but it's not as good as me. Ye Lengyan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Where can I compare with you, Miss, you are a ...... who has been trained on the battlefield."

"Shhhh ”

Liuli nodded hurriedly to blame herself, and then the two quietly looked around to see if anyone listened.

But it is said that wealth is not exposed, but exposure is trouble. Just now, the two of them made a generous move in the clothing shop, which attracted the amazement of many bystanders, but they also happened to be noticed by a habitual thief. This habitual thief saw that the two of them were young and did not do anything more, they were well-dressed, and they were girls' families, so they started to steal and followed them all the way to the restaurant. At this moment, seeing her two girls sitting down to order, this habitual thief also picked a table and sat down, asked for a pot of wine and drank it unhurriedly, staring at the burden on the side of the maid, waiting for the opportunity.

Talking about the two girls, they chatted while eating, talking about what they had seen and heard along the way, as well as those novelties that they had never seen before, and they were very happy. When he was full of wine and food, he was also a little tired. Most of the diners around them were almost finished eating, and they were leaving the table in twos and threes, passing in front of and behind their tables, and the restaurant was a little cramped for a while.

"Why don't we go. Ye Leng said with a flurry, "Liuli, you go and settle the money for this wine and food." ”

"Yes, miss. ”

Liuli responded, and then reached out to take the burden on the side, but only touched the emptiness, and quickly looked down, where was the burden on his side, and the bench was already empty. "Oh no, miss, the baggage has been stolen. Ruri exclaimed.

"What!" Ye Lengyan immediately got up, looked around vigilantly and searched, and said to Liuli at the same time: "There must be a lot of talent, and someone took it by hand, you hurry out and take a look." ”

Ruri chased out the door, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw a sneaky person carrying their baggage, looking around and quickly leaving the other side of the street. She was just about to gallop, but she thought about it, there are many people here, and if she makes a fist or kick, wouldn't it be even more suspicious.

So Liuli shouted loudly again and again: "Come on, someone, someone stole something and ran away!"

Then her master and servant also trotted through the crowd with their skirts, shouting as they ran, and staggered all the way towards the habitual thief who carried the burden.

After chasing less than half a mile, I suddenly saw the habitual thief in front of me and sat in the middle of the road, with a face of dirt and ashes, and panicked. Liuli hurriedly ran to him with the night cold smoke, ready to snatch back the burden, but saw that a dark-skinned young strong man in light armor had already picked up the burden, and there were two companions standing next to this person, both dressed as samurai.

The strong man with the head kicked hard on the ass of the habitual thief who had just gotten up from the ground, and scolded: "I actually stole something in broad daylight, and let Lao Tzu bump into it again, break your legs, get out!"

The habitual thief said "yes" again and again, while pushing aside the crowd of onlookers and fled in embarrassment.

At this moment, when the strong man saw the two of them coming forward in the cold smoke of the night, he smiled all over his face and handed over the burden: "Presumably this burden belongs to the two girls, right?"

Liuli hurriedly took it, Ye Lengyan made a salute, and thanked with a smile: "Exactly, thank you for the strong man for helping, the little woman is grateful." ”

That night Leng Yan was dressed slim, beautiful eyes, plus a snow-white long veil and wearing the newly bought blue jade hairpin, the temperament was striking, the strong man was stunned for a while, his eyes looked at Ye Lengyan, and he forgot to speak, and the hand that handed over the burden was still hanging in the air. Fortunately, the two companions on the side pulled the back of his shirt and whispered in his ear: "Brother Hei, don't be stunned." ”

It turned out that this strong man was Xiao Hei who happened to be on duty at the middle gate today, that is, the king of the same village who was hidden, Jinbao. The three of them happened to be full of food and drink, and wandered down the street, when they saw someone running in a hurry with a burden, and saw two girls chasing after them, so they punched the habitual thief and fell to the ground.

Ye Lengyan was stared at by Xiao Hei uncomfortably, and seeing that the three of them had no intention of leaving, he asked Liuli to take out a few taels of fine silver from his baggage, and then said: "Thank you to the three strong men, this wine money to show gratitude, and hope to smile, the two of us still have something to do, don't pass it here." ”

The little black hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the silver tael, but grabbed the hand of the night cold smoke and didn't let go, and laughed: "Hey, why should the girl be polite, there are many people in this city, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the two girls will inevitably meet bad people again, why don't we accompany our brother Sanyi all the way, one to enhance the relationship, and the other to protect the girl's safety, how about it?"

Ye Lengyan hurriedly withdrew his hand vigorously, a trace of imperceptible boredom flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then he smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, you and I meet in the water, you don't have to be so enthusiastic, besides, seeing a few of you outfits, you must be the guards in this city, don't dare to delay a few tolerances." ”

"Hey, our task is to keep the city stable, and since the girl is in this city, she is naturally the object of our important protection. The companion behind Xiao Hei laughed loudly, and then walked to the other side of the night cold smoke. The three of them happened to be around the two girls.

Liuli was disgusted for a moment, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing, of course, to accompany the two girls to have fun in this city!" Another of Blackie's companions laughed a little strangely.

"Hey, how can you talk like that?" Xiao Hei pretended to be angry at this time, interrupted his companion, and then laughed again: "This girl, since it is fate, why don't you have a glass of wine together and talk again." ”

"No, there is really something important to do, I will thank the strong man for his kindness and leave!"

But the three of them took the lead, moved to block the way, and stretched out their hands to stop them, "Hey, don't be in a hurry to go, girl, my brothers just want to be friends with the two!"

Seeing that there were many people in the night, it was really hard to get angry, so he held back his anger and just kept pushing away these scoundrels with his hands.

For a while, the three of Xiao Hei surrounded the two of them in the night and lengyan, pulling and pulling. The three of them were idle people, and they were used to drinking and having fun, looking for flowers and asking willows, and today they coveted the appearance of the two of them at night, and they refused to let go easily. The passers-by on the side of the street, knowing that the three of them were guards in the city, dared not speak out when they dared to be angry, and no one dared to care, but they just stood in groups of three or five to watch and discuss.

At this time, Luo Yin Tong You Ruo was ordered by Zhang Musha to go out of the camp to several large salt and rice merchants in the city to buy some salt and grain in the barracks, and he was planning to return to the camp just after he finished it. Suddenly, not far from the street, there was a bustling crowd of people, as if there was a dispute. There were often disputes in this street, and it was customary for the people who did not look at the excitement to continue the way back to the camp. But he was dragged by Youruo.

"Hey, what are you dragging me for?" said Luo Yin, turning back.

"No, it looks like someone is molesting two girls. "You don't think you can look at the other side of the street and say.

Luo Yin took a closer look, it seemed that this was the case, and those strong men also seemed to be a little familiar, so he said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

The two of them rushed over, only to find that the three reckless and rude people were none other than Xiao Hei and his companions, who were pestering two young and weak women at the moment. Luoyin's revenge for being beaten almost to death last time has not been avenged, and he is holding back his resentment, and today he bumped into Xiao Hei molesting the folk girl on the street, and he was even more angry.

Luo Yin didn't say a word, rushed forward, and kicked directly in the chest of Xiao Hei led by a flying kick, this kick was strong and heavy, and Xiao Hei was kicked and rolled over, lying on the ground and covering his chest and humming. Xiao Hei's companion came back to his senses at this time, and when he turned his head and saw that it was actually hidden, he shouted and flew up to make a desperate gesture. Luo Yin was not afraid of the three-legged cat kung fu of the three of them, and recently after being mentioned by the Heavenly Fury Mage, his martial arts have made great progress, and he put the other two to the ground with three punches and two kicks.

The little black turned over and pounced, wanting to sneak attack from behind while Luo Yin was fighting with others, but Luo Yin noticed it. In a hurry, he instinctively used a move to practice every day recently, only to see a flash of blue light, and a blue flame swished through Xiao Hei's belt, burning the leather belt in an instant, and his pants also fell off. Xiao Hei hurriedly withdrew his hand and pulled his pants, where could he still take care of the sneak attack. Seeing the situation, Luo Yin turned around and kicked him in the back of the cheek, kicking Xiao Hei into the mud.

In addition, You Qiruo also picked up a thick stick to help, and the two of them beat Xiao Hei and the three of them to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, their heads were broken and bleeding, and they huddled on the ground with their heads in their hands and shouted in a loud voice: "Good brother spare your life, spare your life, it's all your own family, don't dare anymore, don't dare again......

Luo Yin didn't stop until his hands were sore, so he slowly straightened up and moved away from Xiao Hei's body, only to see that Xiao Hei's eyes were already bruised and swollen like melons, and two front teeth were knocked out, and two lines of nosebleeds flowed. The other two were no better, and they didn't look like people when they were beaten with wooden sticks.

"Good brother, don't fight, I was not good last time, you can spare me......" Xiao Hei saw Luoyin standing aside and still glared at himself viciously, rubbing his hands constantly, thinking that he would continue after resting for a while, and tears came out of his eyes.

"Who is your brother!" Luo Yin bared his teeth and bluffed: "Kowtow three times, call grandpa, let you go!"

The little black and his companions hurriedly got up and knelt on the ground three times, and said a few times that grandpa spared his life, and then tightly lifted his unbelted pants and fled in embarrassment.

"Whew, what a pleasure! Well, let's go, the hour is not too early. Luo Yin let out a long breath of evil breath, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Okay!" You Ruo threw away the wooden stick and followed Luoyin, and he was also in a good mood, he had always been just bullied by others, and now that he had won the first fight, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.

"Hey, two young heroes, please stay!" Liuli saw that the two of them left without saying hello, and hurriedly shouted.

"Hmm, what's the matter?" Luo Yin turned his head in confusion.

Ye Lengyan stepped forward with a smile, and then raised his head and said: "Thank you to the two young heroes for helping to solve the difficulty, otherwise, I don't know how long I will be entangled by these scoundrels." ”

Luo Yin took a closer look at the white-clothed woman in front of him, and he didn't care about it, but he was shocked for a while, and his face was as red as the sunset. He hurriedly looked away, and said with some hesitation in his mouth: "Ah, it's not enough to worry about it, it's not enough to worry about it, it's just my duty to see that the road is uneven, and I don't want to thank you, ha...... Ha ha. ”

It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful and refined woman on the side, he was even more wooden by nature, and he didn't know how to speak at the moment, just scratching his head and laughing.

That night, Leng Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and held Luo Yin's right hand, which frightened Luo Yin into a thrill, hurriedly retracted his hand, and said in a panic: "Girl, what is this?!"

Ye Lengyan covered his mouth and smiled, and said generously: "I just saw that the young man's hands were worn out and bleeding, and I wanted to wipe them for you." ”

Only then did Luo Yin see the handkerchief in her hand, as well as the back of her right hand, which was a little bloody and blurry, thinking that she had just beaten too quickly and hard, and even her own hand was worn out. Luo Yin couldn't help but smile a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly wiped his hand back and forth on the placket of his clothes, looking embarrassed.

Liuli saw the two of him, one honest and the other shy, and his demeanor was really ridiculous, so he couldn't hold back for a while and laughed out loud. provoked Ye Lengyan to glare back at her, and then he barely stopped.

The two of them were laughed at by Liuli, and they felt even more uncomfortable here, so they hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "If you have nothing else to do, say goodbye, the two girls take care." ”

"Wait, can you tell the name and surname of the young man, and I can thank you in the future. Ye Lengyan hurriedly asked.

It's a pity that Luo Yin has already dragged You Ruru away with a smoke, and he didn't hear the words of the night cold smoke.

In the sultry afternoon sun, Ye Lengyan stood in the bustling street, looking at the direction of Luoyin running away, and suddenly felt a little distracted, she had never experienced such an interesting thing in the cold plateau city, and had never seen such an interesting person. At this moment, she stood in the sunlight with a bright smile on her face, like a brilliant and pure white begonia flower blooming in this city.

"She's so beautiful!"

"What?"

Hearing You Qiruo suddenly sigh thoughtlessly, Luo Yin stopped and asked.

"I mean, the girl in white just now, she's so big, I've never seen such a beautiful girl. "You are a little stupid.

Luo Yin was speechless, just shook his head.

"By the way, it's all your fault, you are in such a hurry, you don't even know who the girl's name is. You Ruo suddenly felt a little angry.

"You're still thinking about it, it seems that you're obsessed?" Luo Yin sneered. Having said that, in fact, he himself was thinking about Fang Cai all the way, especially constantly sketching the appearance of the cold smoke of the night in his mind.

Luo Yin thought to herself, such a beautiful woman, it was as if the fairy daughter in the painting had come to life, and she was even more beautiful than Liu Qin'er's girl. Thinking of Liu Qin'er, he couldn't help but feel guilty for a while, how could he compare a strange woman who met in Pingshui with Liu Qin'er, who was born and died, that Qin'er can be regarded as the person he cares about the most except for falling into the cold.

He shook his head, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment to let himself get rid of those distractions, and then he forgot the woman's face.

"As a man, why is it wrong to like beautiful women? Don't you notice her eyebrows, don't you notice her smile, it's so touching. Didn't you think about it just now?" asked You Yaruo rhetorically.

"Nope!"

Distracting thoughts came out again and again, and the woman's face began to appear in Luo Yin's mind again, and she pursed her lips and smiled with a handkerchief, her pretty eyes like water, which made him a little confused.

"Have you ever seen a better girl than her?" asked Youruo again.

"No!...... Yes, of course I have seen it. ”

"Where?"

"In our village. ”

"Someone you like?"

“......”

"Oh...... No wonder you're not tempted. ”

You Ruo saw that Luo Yin didn't speak, nodded suddenly with an innocent face, and suddenly sighed again: "But my mother told me that a woman who is too good-looking can't be married, because the more beautiful the flower, the more poisonous it is, and I don't know what this means." ”

When Luo Yin heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and continued to be silent, no longer speaking, and only cared about hurrying.
