After several days of brewing, the battle finally broke out. www.biquge.info In an ordinary hill somewhere in the Wanren Mountain Range, the mountain range at this time is still covered with ice and snow, and there is naturally no other difference here, but at this time, this originally calm hill seems a little unusual.

Originally, the snow on the cedars was falling in shocks, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, in the middle of the valley, surrounded by a cloud of light and shadow, countless warriors were fighting to the death,

But even this scene is just a surface, in a mysterious space between light and shadow, the monks of many forces are also all kinds of magic spells.

In this chaotic battle situation, a blood-stained figure that was surrounded and killed shone with divine fire in his eyes, and he rushed out of the encirclement with several enemies in succession, killed the light and shadow exit, and escaped.

......

Tianliang City, located in the Wanli Mountains, is the first line of defense of the Dali Dynasty to defend the Yunxing Emperor, but it is also the only way for the two countries to trade. The city is mixed, but it has also created the prosperity of Tianliang City.

As soon as the day dawned, the fading night hid the darkness and sin of the city. The sun rose, and the first rays of sunlight sprinkled on the sign of the noodle restaurant at the gate of the south city as usual.

Feeling the warmth on his face, the young man put down the sea bowl in his hand, tilted his head, greeted the morning sun sprinkled on his face, squinted his eyes, touched his round belly, and burped with satisfaction.

"Hiccup, to be honest, Lao Zhang, in the south of our city, your mutton noodles taste the most authentic, and there is the taste in my memory!"

The young man who spoke, fifteen or sixteen years old, had a beautiful face, looking thin but quite white. A cotton coat, although it is a little old, it is also washed white.

Lao Zhang, who was busy working in front of the stove, couldn't help but show a smile when he heard this: "That's, this is an ancestral heirloom...."

Lao Zhang, who was about to brag about two sentences, suddenly paused, "No, why did you kid change sex today, you didn't say that two days ago, why do you want to take credit again?"

You said you've taken credit a few times this month, and this account must be settled. ”

chattering endlessly, chattering a lot of Lao Zhang, suddenly found the unusual silence in front of him, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked up.

On the square table in front of him, a lonely bowl of noodle soup was emitting a misty smoke against the rising sun.

The young man who had just eaten the overlord's meal, wrapped in cotton clothes, wearing a cotton hat wrapped around his ears, holding a grass stalk he picked up from nowhere in his mouth, walked towards the city lord's mansion in the center of the city.

On both sides of the wide bluestone avenue, vendors are busy, and passers-by are gradually increasing. On the street, there is a vigorous and prosperous scene.

"Yo, Xiao Xuan, it's still so early. ”

"Brother Xiaoxuan, do you want a piece of cake, it's just out of the pot, it's hot. ”

"Xiao Xuan, what I told you two days ago, how did you think about it, give a word to my aunt, and my aunt will reply to others. ”

On the way forward, the young man kept greetings, and most of them were some roadside vendors, and some aunts who were very optimistic about him, a "young handsome" and wanted to be a matchmaker.

The young man coped all the way, and finally got out of trouble from the pursuit and interception of several aunts, and he didn't dare to take any official steps, so he left as if he was fleeing.

In the crowd, there were some small country traders who didn't know the situation, and when they saw this situation, they were a little confused, and hurriedly pulled others to ask.

"Oh, you said that kid, his name is Liu Xuan, I heard that he fled to us half a year ago, and his family met a scout from the southern barbarians in the south.

As a result, he and his sister survived, and the two who had no way to survive fled all the way to us, only to be rescued by the city lord who went out of the city to check. A teahouse owner said.

"But I heard that his sister was a beauty embryo when she was a child, but she never had a chance to see it, it's a pity. Another passer-by smiled regretfully.

"Hey, that's a blessing in disguise too. Even if it is past the eyes of the big man, he was arranged to collect some rent in the south of our city.

Now, the size is also a character, at least, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking. ”

"Hmph, if you want me to see, with that kid's cleverness, it's only a matter of time before he gets ahead. Everyone was babbling about the explanation, and the little trader who heard the question was full of envy in his eyes.

On the other side, Liu Xuan, who fled quickly, touched the beads of sweat on his forehead, straightened his somewhat wrinkled clothes, and slowly walked into the City Lord's Mansion through the side door.

As the sun passed noon, the warm sunlight shone on the slightly dilapidated door of the city lord's mansion.

With a "click", Liu Xuan walked out of the account room of the City Lord's Mansion with a sad face and squatted at the door. The boy looked up at the somewhat dazzling sunlight, and there was a wail in his mouth:

"Why did this drudgery fall on my head again, is the rent of the Peeling House so easy to collect this week!"

"No, this matter has to be slow, let's go to Linxi Street first to take a look, I've saved up for so long, how can I buy a hairpin for Xuan'er, and give her a surprise when the time comes!"

Liu Xuan, leaning against the door, muttered to himself for a while, feeling that this idea was really excellent. couldn't help but be a little excited, and left the City Lord's Mansion almost at a trot.

Not long after, the most prosperous street market in Tianliang City, the door of the luxuriously decorated Tianxiang Commercial House.

Liu Xuan looked at the golden plaque, swallowed his saliva secretly, and walked in after some hesitation.

But in less than half a cup of tea, a figure fell out of the business house with a "Peng" sound.

The person who was thrown out simply didn't get up, and sat down in front of the business house, shouting and scolding.

"Phew, the master is not rare, a broken hairpin, dare to ask for such an expensive price, and when the master is rich, take the whole store down,

Lay you all off, a bunch of dogs looking down on people's things. ”

A brocade-robed girl stood at the door, looked at the young man who was thrown at the door with disdain, and was scolding, clapped her hands, and said to the attendant next to her:

"See, if you see this kind of person coming in again, just like that, throw him out. Do you hear me?"

The attendants standing aside should be the only ones.

Looking at the girl who returned to the store, Liu Xuan stood up, stretched out his hands, patted the dust on his body, and glanced at the signboard of Tianxiang Commercial Bank.

"This chick's strength is so great, my one hundred and eighty pounds was picked up by her with one hand and thrown out, this time, her face is a big loss. ”

"Anyway, the hairpins in this store are also a little more expensive, and it seems that you still have to go shopping at the stall. Muttering in his mouth, Liu Xuan looked at the passers-by who were watching the excitement around him, and couldn't help but hide his face and leave.

At this time, on the second floor of the commercial bank, in the private room that was never open to the public, an old man in a green shirt was holding a tea cup and looking at Liu Xuan who was leaving in embarrassment through the window.

"This kid has a keen perception, and he didn't check it for a while, but he found out, but he was a little too clever, and he wanted to find out his cultivation qualifications, but he was destined to meet again. ”

At this time, Liu Xuan, who was walking quickly away from the trading house, flashed his figure, and then got into an alley, leaning against the courtyard wall of a house, Liu Xuan gasped violently.

He reached out and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead.

"Fortunately, I'm alert, I didn't expect that there were cultivators in that small trading house! It seems that we still have to be careful, try to avoid contact with those cultivators, according to the situation at that time, most of this great departure from the cultivation realm has already spread, I can't expose it now. ”

Thinking in his heart, Liu Xuan beat his legs that were a little sore, and walked with tired steps along the alleys that extended in all directions, towards his own courtyard in the south of the city.

"Bang" Liu Xuan pushed open the door of the small courtyard and walked in.

Hearing the sound coming from outside the door, in the kitchen of the side room, a slender little hand lifted the door curtain.

Then, a small head with a fishtail poked out.

"Brother Xuan, why did you come back so early today, I haven't cooked the rice yet. As he spoke, a figure wearing a plain apron rushed out of the door and threw himself into Liu Xuan's arms.

Talking little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old. Although she is dressed plainly, from her slightly immature eyebrows and eyes, it can still be seen that she is most likely a peerless beauty who has captivated the country and the city when she grows up.

Feeling that the little girl who was arching back and forth in his arms, Liu Xuan rubbed her little head helplessly.

Helplessly preached: "How many times have you said it, Xuan'er, you have grown up now, you are no longer a child, don't keep drilling into my arms in the future, being seen by others, how bad." ”

The little girl who was called Xuan'er shook her head when she heard this, shook off the young man's palm, and pushed him away, but she didn't respond to him.

just pointed to Liu Xuan's cotton robe with disgust.

said: "Hey, what are you doing in the morning, you're dirty, go wash up, I'm going to cook." ”

After speaking, the little girl didn't wait for Liu Xuan to answer, wrinkled her nose, grimaced at him, and ran back to the kitchen.

Liu Xuan looked at the little girl who ran away, smiled helplessly and stopped speaking, and went into the room to wash.

After lunch, Liu Xuan and the little girl lay side by side on the rattan chair, lazily enjoying the afternoon sun in the middle of winter, silently.

"Xuan'er, if there is nothing big in the past two days, try not to come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me, it's better not to go out, just stay at home. ”

When the little girl heard this, she hurriedly sat up, held Liu Xuan's hand and asked worriedly, "What's the matter, Brother Xuan, is something wrong?"

"Today, I found a cultivator in the Tianxiang Trading House, and you know that they should be arriving soon, so I don't want any accidents at this time. ”

Liu Xuan opened his eyes, looked at the little girl and said slowly.

When the little girl heard this, she couldn't help but be silent, she lowered her head and asked softly, "Brother Xuan, do we have to be separated, can't we go together?"

The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth trembled, and he pulled out an ugly smile,

"Xuan'er, my affairs are very complicated, it will be very dangerous for you to continue to stay by my side, and this is your only hope to change your fate, do you want to give up?"

"No, I don't care, I want you to go with me, Xuan'er is not afraid of danger!" As she spoke, the little girl's tears slid down her face and dripped on Liu Xuan's hands.

Liu Xuan's hand trembled, and after being silent for a while, he said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, you remember, this is not only for you, but also for me, and you don't want anything to happen to me." ”

"No, I don't. The little girl sobbed, tears streaming down her face.

"Everything that happened during this time should not accompany you for the rest of your life, try to forget it. With that, Liu Xuan stood up and touched the little girl's head.

"Okay, what's the big deal, it's not that we won't be able to see each other in the future, what's there to cry about, besides, isn't the time yet up, who knows how long it will take." ”

"Okay, hurry up and wash your clothes, I'll go first, the rent of Zhou Papi's house is not easy to collect." After speaking, Liu Xuan grimaced at the little girl and turned to leave.

Listening to the sobbing sound coming from behind him, Liu Xuan said silently in his heart: "Xuan'er, since your parents died because of me, then, let me create a new life for you." ”

Liu Xuan, who left the small courtyard, regained his composure when he stepped out of the house, and a familiar smile appeared on his face again.

"Let's go there first, find out about the situation, and choose a hairpin for Xuan'er by the way. Liu Xuan thought silently in his heart.

The City Lord's Mansion accounts for about 20%, but most of them are small stalls, and the shop that Zhou Papi is one of the few shops that belong to the City Lord's Mansion.

Looking at the market before the sky darkened, it was already bustling and extraordinary,

Liu Xuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These guys, they are getting bolder and bigger, if Yunxing starts a national war, most of them will have to be stewed." ”

Thinking in his heart, Liu Xuan's footsteps did not stop, and after a while, Liu Xuan came to the door of an inn. Before Liu Xuan could enter the door, an obese figure in the store came out with unusual flexibility.

"Hey, isn't this Master Xuan, what kind of wind is blowing here, hurry up, come in and sit, you haven't come to the shop for a while. ”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but purse his lips, and thought disdainfully in his heart: "Probably you want to be in your heart, I don't want to appear in front of you in my life." ”

Although he thought like this in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, and after a while, Liu Xuan walked into the store with Zhou's shopkeeper, and the host and guest sat down.

Liu Xuan picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I won't go around the bend anymore today, Shopkeeper Zhou, your rent has been delayed for some time.

Look, shouldn't I settle the rent for the past few months today?"

As soon as he heard this, Shopkeeper Zhou's fat face, which was originally smiling like Maitreya Buddha, instantly wrinkled like a bitter melon.

"Master Xuan, it's not that I don't want to tie the knot, in this world, business is really not easy to do, you see, this Dali and the python are about to go to war, and there are fewer and fewer guests.

Now the small shop really can't come up with so much money, or you can see what valuable things are in the store, just take them away, my old Zhou has nothing to say. ”

"Oh?" Liu Xuan looked around, looking at the endless stream of diners who came to negotiate a deal. "In that case, I'll come back next time. ”

"Ouch, don't you believe me, I...... Huh?!" Shopkeeper Zhou, who hadn't reacted yet, suddenly paused and let out a cry of surprise.

He stretched out his turnip-like fingers and gouged out his ears vigorously, as if he hadn't heard what Liu Xuan said.

"This is the sun coming out in the west, when did this little fox talk so well, in the past, but there was no rabbit and no eagle. Shopkeeper Zhou was still confused.

"I said, since Shopkeeper Zhou is so difficult now, let's postpone it for two more days, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb the shopkeeper's business and leave. ”

After speaking, Liu Xuan drank all the tea in the cup, stood up, arched his hand, and turned around and left directly. Leaving the shopkeeper alone, he sat in place with a blank face. (To be continued.) )
