At dusk, the remnant sun is like blood, and the earth is red.

In the cold winter, the climate in the east is mild and humid, after the snow, the snow quickly turns into snow water, the road is a little muddy, and even some soft mud, a line of driving wheel prints, the print is very deep, almost stuck in it and can not be pulled out.

A few fast horses galloped on the road, because of the muddy road, but it also seemed a little slow, the sky gradually darkened, Yang Yuxiao, who was driving in front, looked at a small town in the distance, and proposed to go to the town to replenish and then set off.

Further on is a mountain road, bypassing that mountain road, you will go out of the Zhongzhou boundary, that section of the road may be delayed for some time, so it is necessary to replenish it.

Nie Lin didn't have any opinions, so the group came to this town.

This town is quite prosperous, because it is a necessary place to enter the mountain, so many passers-by will stop here to replenish supplies, or stay overnight, it is evening, because the road is difficult, so the flow of passengers staying in this town is very large.

When a few people entered the town, the most conspicuous thing was the rows of luxury carriages parked on the edge of the restaurant inn at the east end of the town, and there were several burly and swordsmen with huge swords guarding there, and no one should approach.

There are restaurants, inns, shops and vendors in the town, and some customers are just strolling around the town, eating, shopping, and spending entertainment, making the town very lively.

After Nie Lin and Lu Xueyan got off the horse, Yang Yuxiao asked the sword attendant to tie the horse, and said to Nie Lin: "Brother Nie, you and Senior Sister will go to the restaurant first to ask for a seat, order some dishes to eat first, I will go to the shop to purchase some ropes, horseshoe cloths and other things, after eating, we will set off overnight, right?"

"It's okay!" Nie Lin nodded, nodded at Lu Xueyan, and walked towards the restaurant first.

Lu Xueyan didn't follow immediately, but when Nie Lin left, he came to Yang Yuxiao's side and said, "Senior brother, you ask in the town, buy more horses, and ride with Nie Lin, I'm still a little uncomfortable!"

Yang Yuxiao smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: "Although horses are a necessary tool for travel, how can anyone sell horses in this town, just ask!" Thinking about it, he went to the grocery store.

After Nie Lin entered the restaurant, he saw that the restaurant was already full and a little noisy, but a guy greeted him enthusiastically and asked what he needed.

Sure enough, after asking, there was no empty table, even the upstairs private room, and there was no vacant seat, Nie Lin swept the hall, and there was only one table with empty seats in the hall, but the person sitting there was a little strange, it was a person wearing a hat, he couldn't see his age, and only left a mysterious back, there was a sword, a pot of wine, and two side dishes on the table, and the hat man sat there quietly to enjoy, as if it was incompatible with the noise of this restaurant.

Nie Lin's gaze condensed slightly on this person, and he immediately had the answer in his heart, this is a hidden master.

At this time, Lu Xueyan also entered the restaurant, and after the guy saw Lu Xueyan, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward politely.

Lu Xueyan ignored him, and just asked Nie Lin: "Is there no place, why don't we eat some snacks here at the food stall outside?"

When she spoke, the hall of the restaurant was slightly quiet at this time, and many eyes were cast on Lu Xueyan at this time, some people looked at her with a little fiery eyes, some admired, some were jealous and envious, and some were even more unscrupulous staring at Lu Xueyan, and they didn't know that the wine was spilled.

As soon as she saw this situation, Lu Xueyan frowned slightly, and turned around directly and walked out of the restaurant, and Nie Lin also went out.

In less than ten breaths, the guy suddenly ran out and shouted: "Two guest officers, there is a vacant private room upstairs, if you don't dislike it, please upstairs?"

"No need!"

Nie Lin replied lightly, he blinked his eyes and saw a stall not far away, where an old man set up a food stall, the business was also very prosperous, and there were vacant seats, so he took Lu Xueyan to the stall to find a place to sit down, and asked for a few steamed buns and a few bowls of fragrant vegetable soup.

The people who eat at this food stall seem to be the townspeople of the town, dressed plainly, and they look honest, after Lu Xueyan sat down there, many men looked a little cramped, and left after eating, even the women were a little ashamed of themselves, and walked away with the children, which formed a sharp contrast with the people in the restaurant, so that only Nie Lin and the three of them were left on the food stall.

Nie Lin didn't care about these little things, Lu Xueyan's charm was the focus of attention wherever he went, although it would also cause some unnecessary trouble.

But if he is afraid of trouble, Lu Xueyan will not go out without a veil or face covering, he knows that this beautiful woman has the means to prevent wolves, and the strength of the kendo is actually not weak, don't look at Lu Xueyan without a sword, but her weapons and mysteries are in the piano she carries, which seems to be weak, if she doesn't make a move, she will be a blockbuster.

The buns are delicious, the vegetable soup is delicious, no wonder the business of this stall will be booming, he has his reasons, Nie Lin drank one bowl was not enough, and Zhang Gu and the two asked for two bowls, even Lu Xueyan couldn't help but drink an extra bowl.

At this time, Yang Yuxiao came back from shopping, and also came to the stall to sit down, he knew that the restaurant should be full of people, and he didn't care, after sitting down, he ate steamed buns, and after drinking a sip of soup, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he praised: "The buns are delicious, delicious soup, good craftsmanship!"

Hearing the praise, the old man blushed a little, and continued: "Look at the sons, they should all be from big families in the city, in fact, the craftsmanship of the little old man should not be praised, the little old man just used to work as a helper for a famous chef in the city, and he learned some skills and came back to set up a stall to support his family!"

"Since the old man has this skill, why don't you go to the restaurant to be a cook, presumably the treatment will be better?" Yang Yuxiao said.

The old man just smiled and didn't answer, and Yang Yuxiao didn't ask anymore, he knew that there must be a reason.

At this time, two teenagers of sixteen or seventeen years old walked side by side, and behind them there was a girl who looked a little lively and cute, and a quirky girl also came to the food stall and asked for steamed buns and vegetable soup.

As soon as the girl came, she sat down next to Lu Xueyan, and after looking at her a few times up close, she said, "Sister, you are so beautiful, my name is Shen Rushuang, what is my sister's name?"

"Personal, no comment!" Lu Xueyan responded lightly, and after drinking the soup in the bowl, he sat silently, just waiting for Yang Yuxiao and Nie Lin to eat.

When the girl named Shen Rushuang heard this, she couldn't help but pout, glared fiercely at a young man who looked a little shy on the other side, and then looked at another young man with a calm face, gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, you should also be preparing to enter Beijing to participate in the Sword Boy Competition, it's really hateful, and I don't know which damn guys dug so many big holes on the road, causing us to delay for a long time!"

After Nie Lin ate and drank enough, he raised his head and glanced at the two teenagers and the girl, both of whom looked like they had a good temperament, they should be from a family, and they probably wanted to know Lu Xueyan, so they found this lively and lovely girl to be the striker and talk to Lu Xueyan.

However, Lu Xueyan has experienced too much in this kind of bridge, and what this girl said is not nutritious, after Lu Xueyan guessed their thoughts, he didn't pay attention to them, and after seeing that Yang Yuxiao was also full of food and drink, he opened his mouth lightly and said, "Senior brother, are you ready?"

Yang Yuxiao said: "The things you need have been purchased, but the horse, no matter how much money you pay, no one is willing to sell it, so you have to continue to grieve your senior sister!"

"I have a horse, I have a horse, sister, will I give you my horse?" When the girl Shen Rushuang heard this, she immediately interjected.

"Thank you, no!" Lu Xueyan said politely to the girl, so she got up and glanced at Nie Lin: "Let's go?"

Nie Lin nodded and got up and walked to the tethered horse first, Lu Xueyan and Zhang Gu followed, after Yang Yuxiao paid the bill, he saw the girl pouting and looked very angry, and the two teenagers secretly looked at Lu Xueyan's slender back from time to time, and the food was tasteless, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Two brothers, since you want to know my senior sister, you should show courage, not rely on a girl to say some close words, think for yourself, farewell!"

After seeing Yang Yuxiao leave, the somewhat shy young man was a little discouraged, but when the girl saw it, she was even more angry, and said: "Hmph, you still said that you are not a coward, you don't dare to open your mouth if you want to know people, so you insist on pulling me here, okay, now let others think that people are also superficial people, blame you!"

The young man who had always looked calm suddenly spoke: "Among those few people, one of them is a master, if I participate in the kendo competition this time, I am not his opponent, but the last one to speak, looks but gentle and elegant, it must be a strong competitor of our Pearl Academy people participating in other projects, I just don't know which school they come from!"

"Hey, Brother Tianke, you are also optimistic about that ordinary looking guy but with an extraordinary temperament, it seems that my vision is good, hehe!" Shen Rushuang smiled like a flower, held her chin, looked at the back of the horse riding away, and said quietly.

"Nymphomaniac!" When the two teenagers saw Shen Rushuang's appearance, they pursed their lips and didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so they paid the bill and went back to the restaurant.

Shen Rushuang came back to her senses, saw that the person was gone, pouted, and said, "I just like this type of what's wrong, hum!"

At this time, I saw that the mysterious man wearing the hat suddenly came out of the restaurant, and after whistling, I saw a beast neighing behind the town, and a very majestic and fierce sword wildebeest galloped over and stood in front of the hat man, tearing the hat man's arm.

After the hatholder turned over and got on the horse, he clamped the horse's belly, and the sword hornebeest raised its front hooves, and let out a low roar like a beast's roar, like a sharp arrow, and also drove in the direction that Nie Lin and the others left.

"Guest officer, you haven't paid the bill yet!" The guy at the restaurant hurriedly ran out of the restaurant at this time, but before his voice fell, he saw the horse ride away.

The guy was discouraged and scolded and said, "It's really unlucky, this is the second person to eat the overlord meal today, what the is this called!"
