Ling Tianxiao raised his arm and said, "You can rest assured, it's just ordinary flour, and it won't make people die at all." My friend who stayed there should have explained the matter to him by now. ”

Xing Yueying's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Is this true? ”

Ling Tianxiao nodded, and said helplessly: "Frankly speaking, I didn't want to do this, but you are too unreasonable, and I don't want to embarrass you in front of everyone, so I made this decision." ”

Xing Yue raised her head suddenly, stared at him and said, "What school do you teach?" ”

Ling Tianxiao coughed dryly twice, and said perfunctorily: "My master immortal has passed away for a long time, and his old man was indifferent to fame and fortune during his lifetime, so it is inconvenient for me to mention it too much." Besides, he didn't teach me any subtle swordsmanship, and all I have learned now is due to this treacherous river. ”

Xing Yueying's eyes lit up and asked, "Do you want to join our Imperial Sword Sect?" ”

Ling Tianxiao asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Xing Yueying's expression was solemn, and she explained: "Now the rivers and lakes are divided into two major forces, and each sect either joins the Absolute Sword Cliff or the Heavenly Sword Alliance, you can not only contribute to the Heavenly Sword Alliance, but also give you shelter, isn't it good to have such a win-win situation?" ”

Ling Tianxiao shook his head and said, "Alas, I'm not suitable for your faction. ”

Although Xing Yueying wanted to convince him again, she remembered Yan Mu who didn't know the whole situation in the inn, so she had to dispel her thoughts. She stared at Ling Tianxiao for a long time, sighed, and continued, "If you change your mind, come to the Sword Sect to find me, and I will talk to the master." ”

Ling Tianxiao blinked his eyes and teased, "Let's ask like this, if I join the Imperial Sword Sect, can I act with you?" ”

Xing Yueying wondered, "What do you mean?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "Haven't you heard of the moon before the water?" ”

Xing Yue was stunned for a long time, and the roots of her ears instantly burned red, and after giving him a white look, she couldn't help but sneer, and then pretended to be calm: "Hmph, you know that the flamboyant tongue is flamboyant." She swept backwards, and within a moment she was gone before his eyes.

The second fold: try your hand at it

Ling Tianxiao returned to the inn, Duan Yujin was drinking calmly, but Yan Mu was no longer visible on the side. After asking, he learned that Yan Mu knew that he had been deceived, so he rushed out of the door in anger. Duan Yujin glanced at him and asked, "Don't you think you should tell me something?" ”

Ling Tianxiao pretended to wonder and said, "Oh, what should I say? ”

Duan Yujin put down the wine glass and said coldly: "You let me clean up the mess, don't you feel indebted to me?" ”

Ling Tianxiao touched his chin and said with a smile: "Aren't you from the Buddhist Sect?" It is more blessed to give than to receive, and it is not a good thing that you emphasize reciprocation in this way. ”

Duan Yujin's voice was still very peaceful, and he said indifferently: "I finally know what revenge is." ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled and said, "Ha, I was just joking, thank you so much." ”

Duan Yujin stood up, took a pot of wine from the counter, and said with a smile: "You know how to make the wine money at this table." With that, he walked out of the inn.

Ling Tianxiao shrugged his shoulders, and after paying the bill, he also followed with a pot of wine.

Snowflakes fell, and the two walked side by side on the street. Ling Tianxiao came to the market and found a blacksmith workshop made of bamboo sheds. He saw a man and stepped forward and asked, "Do you know Li Ye?" ”

The man was concentrating on casting iron, but when he heard him mention the word Li Ye, his eyes suddenly widened. He was surprised and said: "Li Ye is my father, don't you know my father?" ”

Ling Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this, and carefully took a look at this sturdy man, and suddenly, he noticed an iron plate hanging on the man's neck, and the word "Li" was written on the iron plate. Ling Tianxiao frowned and said, "This iron card belongs to Li Ye?" ”

The man touched the iron card, nodded and said: "This is my father's relic, I originally planned to bury it together, but then I was a little reluctant, so I hung it on my body." ”

Ling Tianxiao gasped and said in surprise, "You mean relics?" ”

The man looked at him, immediately understood what was going on, and said with a wry smile: "My father died of tuberculosis two years ago. My name is Li Zhan, and now the blacksmith shop is inherited by me. ”

Ling Tianxiao sighed: "Alas, I can't imagine that there is no longer a human being. ”

Li Zhan pondered for a long time, with a look of confusion on his face, and asked: "I won't tell you, my father has never dealt with people, and he has made very few friends in his life, and you don't look very old, I don't know what it has to do with my father?" ”

Ling Tianxiao was slightly stunned, and said indifferently: "To say that it is a friend who forgets the year, it seems that there is something inappropriate. Let's put it this way, the sword in my hand is from his hand, and I am related to him. ”

Li Zhan suddenly realized: "So that's the case. ”

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded from behind, and Ling Tianxiao glanced back, it was actually Xing Yueying and Yan Mu. Xing Yueying glanced at him and said in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Ling Tianxiao smiled, "Then why are you here?" ”

Li Zhan seemed to know the reason why Xing Yueying came, and Wu Zi stepped forward and said, "Torture girl, after thinking twice, I still can't agree to your request, please ask for another master!" ”

Xing Yueying's eyebrows were upside down, and she said unhappily: "I have paid the deposit, do you want to be untrustworthy?" ”

Li Zhan shook his head violently, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Xing misunderstood, I really have a last resort. He took out a money bag from his bosom and handed it to her, and said with a long sigh, "This is the deposit you paid at the beginning, and I will return it to you as it is." ”

Xing Yueying was still dissatisfied: "Don't you think the money is enough?" ”

Li Zhan's face sank, and he said apologetically: "Please don't ask the girl again." ”

At the same time, a group of people walked into the blacksmith shop, all dressed in official uniforms and armed with swords. A man with a beard, after glancing at Xing Yueying, turned his gaze to Li Zhan and said, "Li Zhan, don't forget to promise." ”

Li Zhan flicked like a frightened bird, shrank up, and said tremblingly: "Please be aware of it, I have already taken other people's orders as my lord said, and I will cast a knife for the court wholeheartedly." ”

The man turned his head to look at Xing Yueying proudly, and sneered, "Hear it clearly, he won't help you forge swords anymore." My name is Zhang Bao, I am the chief arrester here, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, if you dare to mess around, don't blame me. ”

Xing Yueying's eyes froze, and she sighed faintly in her heart, now she knew why Li Zhan rejected her. If it were someone else, she would not give up, but the other party was from the government, and she didn't dare to confront him.

Xing Yueying shrugged her shoulders and reluctantly took a few steps back, Zhang Bao saw that she took the initiative to show weakness, and laughed, looking domineering. Zhang Bao looked at Li Zhan and asked, "By the way, how did you think about that matter?" ”

Li Zhan was stunned when he heard this, and said in shock: "My lord, this matter must not be allowed, the rest of the things are all up to the will of the adults, only this matter, please allow the grass people to refuse." ”

Zhang Bao glared at him, and snorted coldly: "I just gave you the stairs, do you really dare to refuse?" The catcher who was following him quickly drew out his silver knife, his eyes were fixed on Li Zhan, and as soon as he gave an order, he would rush forward and take him down.

In the midst of the tension, a man wearing gold ornaments and silver rings swaggered over. He had a scar on his face, and his eyes were piercing, and he seemed to be a bad person. He looked at Zhang Bao and said coldly, "What's going on?" ”

Zhang Bao said coldly: "This kid doesn't eat a toast, it looks like he wants to eat some penalty wine." Well, I'll give him to you so you can take care of it. Anyway, even if you do get someone's life, I'll help you here. ”

Although Ling Tianxiao didn't know what it was about, it sounded like it was definitely not a good thing from Zhang Bao's contemptuous tone. In broad daylight, the people of the government and the people in the rivers and lakes are in cahoots, which is really embarrassing.

The man looked at Li Zhan and said in a deep voice, "I'll give you another chance, you'd better think clearly." ”

Li Zhan shook his head violently, as if helpless and a little sad and angry: "Alas, which man is willing to transfer his wife, even if there is such a person in the world, I, Li Zhan, am definitely not that kind of person." ”

The man sneered: "I see, don't you think it's a good deal?" Well, you make an offer, how much is that woman worth? ”

Although Li Zhan was afraid of them, he was also a little angry when he heard that his wife was being slandered, he showed displeasure and said firmly: "This is not the reason for money. ”

Zhang Bao interjected: "You kid, don't you know the situation until now?" As long as I say a word here, I can get your blacksmith shop to pack it up, you understand? ”

Li Zhanjian raised his eyebrows, puffed up his chest and said, "Even if the blacksmith shop is put away, it is impossible for me to agree." ”

Zhang Bao said coldly: "Do you know how many unsolved cases there are in a year? I'll find one and put it on you, and you won't be able to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River. After you are dead, I will take your wife to the yamen and let my brothers serve her well. ”

Li Zhan shouted: "You are deceiving people too much! ”

Zhang Baothief smiled: "I just want to bully you, what can you do with me?" Li Zhan was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, if it weren't for the official uniform on the other party's body, and a bunch of people behind him, he couldn't wait to pick up the mallet and knock it on his head immediately.

The man on the side saw that he was angry, stepped forward, threw a knife at him, and said, "Don't say that I am a bully, as long as you can block my three moves, I will let your wife go." On the other hand, if you can't hold back, then don't blame me. His voice, although relaxed and freehand, seemed to weigh more than a thousand catties every word, and pressed heavily on Li Zhan's body, teaching him to breathe.

Xing Yueying, who was on the side, couldn't help but shake her head when she saw this, her face revealing pity. Ling Tianxiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you know that man?" ”

Xing Yueying glanced at him, and said with a difficult face: "There are not many people in the rivers and lakes who don't know him." He is the eldest disciple of the Golden Sword Sect, named Su Huan, and the golden knife in his hand is terrifying and invincible. ”

Ling Tianxiao was silent for a while, looked at Xing Yueying, and said in a deep voice: "I have heard that the Imperial Sword Sect is helping people and fighting grievances for others, and now that you see others being bullied like this, don't you plan to come forward?" ”
