Guangling City.

Peach Blossom Island.

Liang Manman arrived here on the fourth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year of Zhaohua.

She didn't expect to meet Li Chen'an in the snow on the shore of Huaping Lake, because she had just entered Guangling City when she heard the news of Li Chen'an's departure in the third year of junior high school.

This inevitably disappointed her a little.

But it made her breathe a big sigh of relief.

Sitting in the Tinglan Water Pavilion on Peach Blossom Island, Liang Manman didn't think about Li Chen'an anymore.

Because there's no need to think about it anymore.

Since there is no fate and no share, thinking about it again is just adding trouble to yourself.

She looked at the exquisite water pavilion and the familiar utensils in this water pavilion, as if she had returned to the scene when she came here with Shang Lao six years ago.

She was bathed, and she burned incense.

It's still the familiar sandalwood.

Then she sat down in front of the antique tea table made of rosewood, took a fire fold, lit the fire, and boiled a pot of tea.

Chunlan stood on the side of the water pavilion and watched quietly.

Of course, she knew Liang Manman.

Of course, the four of them have also obtained Shang Di's will and know that this girl is the future owner of this Peach Blossom Island.

They are of the same age, but in front of this new master, Chunlan still maintains enough respect.

"Ran,"

This is what Liang Manman called her when the businessmen were still alive in the past.

"Well, what do you command, Miss?"

"You have been in Guangling City for many years, and you ...... that Cuihua It's the girl who used to sell coffins in the alleys of the Four Temples, and now she is making wine in Li Chen'an's tavern, how much do you know? ”

Chunlan was stunned, thought about it, and said:

"That girl is about fifteen or sixteen, she was originally alone guarding the coffin shop, and the head of the family asked the slave to go to the coffin shop once last year."

"What are you going to do?"

"The head of the family said that he was very old, and he might not know when he would drive west. He said that the coffins in the coffin shop are very good, and they will be used anyway, so it is better to buy one and come back early. ”

"The slave went, saw the girl, and talked about it, but she refused."

Liang Manman raised his head and looked at Chunlan in surprise: "She doesn't sell?" ”

"She doesn't sell."

"Why?"

She said...... The head of the house is not qualified to use the coffin in her shop. ”

“……”

"When the slave came back, she told the master of the house, but the master shook his head and smiled, and he never let the slave go again."

After a pause, Chunlan said again: "Later, it was the regent who got that tavern, and I don't know why Cuihua went to his tavern. ”

"The master of the house liked the wine in the tavern, and the slave maid went several times to buy wine for the master of the house...... The rules of his tavern were not to be taken out, but the head of the house and the regent were like old friends, so they could buy back a little. ”

"But the number of times I've seen Cuihua is very rare, and she's almost always in the backyard."

"Why did the young lady ask about her suddenly?"

Liang Manman stretched out his hand like a green onion and poured two cups of tea, "Because before the Shang family died, he drank with me overnight in Yihong Mansion and explained some things, including one ......"

"Let me take care of that girl Cuihua a little bit."

Chunlan didn't know what to do, thinking that Xu Li Chenan became the regent, and of course he would be resident in Kyoto in the future.

Cuihua's girl was the first person invited by the regent, but she still stayed in Guangling City, afraid that she would be lonely.

I'm also afraid that she will be bullied.

"Lan, we're still like sisters, don't be so rusty, sit down and drink tea."

Chunlan hesitated for a moment, sat on Liang Manman's side, and asked:

"The regent's intention is to turn this Peach Blossom Island into a sect...... Miss, the Jianghu sect always needs people in the rivers and lakes, where can we find those people? ”

The corners of Liang Manman's mouth curled, and he said with a smile:

"Since it was him who came up with such a bad idea, of course he also went to find it himself, so he is not in a hurry...... Let's go to his tavern later. ”

"Good!"

The master and servant drank half a pot of tea, then got up and left Peach Blossom Island and went to the tavern under the banyan tree.

……

……

The fourth year of junior high school.

The tavern has opened its doors.

There are still only two people, Sanniang and Cuihua.

When Liang Manman and the others arrived at the tavern, they found that the tavern was already full of drinkers.

These people are talking, but whispering.

No one was making a loud noise, and no one was making trouble with alcohol.

The atmosphere inside is superb.

It's just that there's no place anymore.

Cuihua was busy delivering wine in the field, and when she saw Liang Manman and the two coming in, she knew Chunlan, and she knew Shang Di even more.

So she greeted her.

"Why don't you go to the backyard and sit down?"

"You're Cuihua?"

"Yes, I'm Cuihua."

"Okay, let's go to the backyard."

Cuihua led the two of them to the gazebo in the courtyard of the backyard, which was windy and a little cold on all sides.

Cuihua didn't go to the stove, she lit the tea stove on the table, boiled a pot of wine, looked at Chunlan, and asked:

"This young lady is the new owner of Peach Blossom Island?"

Chunlan nodded, and Liang Manman opened her mouth to introduce herself: "My name is Liang Manman." ”

"Oh, I've heard your name...... The young master also told me about this when he left Guangling City. ”

Liang Manman asked curiously:

"What does he command?"

"He told me to wait in the tavern, and there will be a lot of masters coming next...... Go to the tavern first and let me take them to Peach Blossom Island. ”

The fire is already in full swing, and the smell of wine is already wafting in the pot.

Cuihua took the wine jug and poured a cup of hot wine for Liang Manman and the others, and handed it over, "He said that there are disciples of Songshan Sword Academy, and there are also disciples of Mushan Dao. ”

"I was going to go to Jiangnan with him, but he used this incident to drag me down."

"I can't go to Jiangnan for the time being, he said that after you come, I will tell you a word."

“…… What words? ”

"He said that if Peach Blossom Island wants to become famous, it must reward the good and punish the evil."

"When those people are almost here, you take them to Pingjiang City!"

Liang Manman was stunned:

"To Pingjiang City?"

"That's right, go to Pingjiang City and participate in the martial arts alliance leader conference held by the Green Gang!"

"Want to take down the Martial Arts Alliance Master?"

"He didn't say, in my opinion, it's the best, and it doesn't matter if you can't take it."

Just then, a girl walked in through the door in the backyard.

A girl with a long knife on her back!

The girl wore a hat and a somewhat wide blue cotton robe.

She stepped through the door, looked up at the three men in the pavilion, and stepped forward again.

Neither fast nor slow.

It's like a rhythm.

Fluttering like a light cloud, with a beautiful woman walking slowly, the waist is graceful like a weak willow.

But she really had a knife on her back.

It's a strange feeling.

In the eyes of Liang Manman, who has read countless people, this girl does not look like a martial artist at all.

Not even like a swordsman!

Because that knife seems to be bigger than her!

It's also because her weak body doesn't reveal the kind of power that is common in martial artists, but ...... Polite!

That's right, the kind of Miss Sven who is similar to Li Chenan!

But she was not wearing Miss Qianjin's Luo skirt.

She was supposed to be carrying a bookcase.

But she did carry a knife!

But her waist was not bent by the knife, but her steps were still very firm.

She walked into the gazebo, took off the hat, looked at the three of them again, and then pursed her lips and opened her mouth.

A mouthful of Wu Nong's soft words.

It's like a spring breeze.

"May I ask my sisters, who is Cuihua?"
