Chapter IV
The sun shined through the small window of the carriage to Hai Yichuan's face, Hai Yichuan rubbed his eyelids, opened his eyes with some effort, and suddenly a spirit stood up and looked left and right, Yan Ting was not in the carriage.
Hai Yichuan quickly climbed out of the carriage and found himself outside a dilapidated City God Temple, Yan Ting was sitting on the steps of the City God Temple roasting a pheasant, Hai Yichuan shook his heavy head and walked out of the car, came to Yan Ting and asked, "You got up really early, what about Lao Zeng?" ”
Yan Ting looked at Hai Yichuan and said unhurriedly: "He has already left, and he still has a word." ”
"What?"
"He's waiting for your gold in Yuncheng."
Hai Yichuan smiled helplessly, sat down next to Yan Ting, and quipped: "I thought he was a person who wanted money and didn't want his life, but he abandoned me so easily." ”
Yan Ting didn't answer, just tore off a piece of chicken and threw it to Hai Yichuan, Hai Yichuan swallowed the chicken, glanced around casually, and then asked Yan Ting: "No one here will disturb us for the time being, you can say, how did you get that sword?" Don't tell me that Oolong Evergreen will obediently give you the sword. ”
Yan Ting said: "Stolen." ”
Hai Yichuan was shocked, looked around Yan Ting exaggeratedly, and sighed: "I really underestimated you, Oolong Changqing regards that sword as his lifeblood, and you must have spent a lot of effort." ”
Yan Ting said: "The person who stole this sword was not me, but a friend of mine, who handed over this sword to me. ”
Hai Yichuan couldn't help but smash his tongue: "If you can steal the sword of Oolong Evergreen, I'm afraid there is nothing in this world that he can't steal, why does he give you this hot potato?" ”
Yan Ting said: "Because he thinks it's interesting." ”
Hai Yichuan is silent, and people who can take this kind of thing as fun are generally crazy people with great powers.
Yan Ting asked calmly, "So you've already thought about walking with me?" ”
Hai Yichuan affirmed without hesitation: "That's nature, we have a common enemy." ”
Yan Ting shook his head: "You are wrong, you have only one enemy, and my enemy is the entire Blood Shadow Gate, and there are many unexpected people." ”
Hai Yichuan smiled: "Coincidentally, I also planned it this way, the organization of the Blood Shadow Gate should not exist in the first place, as for those unexpected people, I believe that as long as the Blood Shadow is destroyed, they will no longer be a problem." ”
Yan Ting smiled, maybe there was reliable help on the road to the future, or maybe he was just funny about Hai Yichuan's simple thoughts, Yan Ting stood up and smiled at Hai Yichuan: "If you really have such thoughts, then you need to help me find some helpers, they don't need to have extremely high skills, as long as they are credible." ”
Hai Yichuan thought for a moment and said: "There are credible people, but they may not necessarily help, after all, you and I are going to do risky things." ”
Yan Ting said: "I don't need them to do anything, just inquire about the whereabouts of a few people for me." ”
"Who are you going to inquire?"
"The sharpest weapon, the wisest head, and the farthest eye." Yan Ting saw that Hai Yichuan was a little confused, so he explained: "You should know a lot about me, and you should know who the sharpest weapon in the world is in my mouth." ”
Hai Yichuan asked: "Are you talking about the world's number one swordsman Li Chaoqing?" ”
Yan Ting swallowed the cooked meat in his mouth, pointed to the wound on his body with his finger, and Hai Yichuan suddenly realized: "You mean Chengjiu wine?" ”
Yan Ting nodded, and Hai Yichuan was even more puzzled: "In your heart, Chengjiu wine is higher than Li Chaoqing?" ”
Yan Ting swallowed the meat in his mouth and asked unhurriedly, "Have you ever seen Li Chaoqing's sword?" ”
"Nope." Hai Yichuan squinted his eyes and recalled: "Li Chaoqing has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for almost ten years, but I have heard my father say that he saw it once when he was young, Li Chaoqing's sword is a sword that truly achieves 'nothing', you can feel the ubiquitous sword qi before the sword is unsheathed, but when he really draws the sword out of the sheath, you can't feel any sword intent, obviously he is in front of you but it seems that the whole person does not exist." ”
Yan Ting nodded and continued to ask, "Then you can see that Cheng Jiujiu has made a move?" ”
Hai Yichuan said: "No, I only know that her martial arts are unfathomable." ”
Yan Ting said: "There are some talented people in this world, or they are good at scheming and strategizing, or they are good at dancing with knives and sticks to become martial arts masters, Chengjiujiu is such a person, I have no doubt that if Chengjiujiu uses a sword, it will be the strongest sword in the world." ”
Hai Yichuan said: "You shouldn't be a person who can talk nonsense. ”
Yan Ting smiled: "Of course I'm not, if you have seen Chengjiu wine shoot, you will have the same experience as me." ”
Hai Yichuan pursed his lips and didn't dwell on it anymore, and continued to ask, "So who is the smartest head?" There is no first, the wise man in the world is as wide as the sea of clouds, who is the smartest one? ”
Yan Ting smiled lightly, and pouted at the chicken in Hai Yichuan's hand: "The latter two are not in a hurry, wait until they find Chengjiu to drink, you and I should eat more now, now is a rare leisure time." ”
The business of Baihualou has always been excellent, there are the best wines and the most gorgeous women, and these two things are what men need the most, and the luxurious warbler in the building, the backyard room and the bathroom are also very lively, the maid Xiaocui is cleverly urging the chef to serve the food as soon as possible, while thinking about which table to go to please the wealthy guests, with the chef's shouting Xiaocui gently moved the lotus step steadily to take a plate of good appetizers, just turned around but bumped into a woman head-on, and the plate in his hand was taken off.
"Suffered ......"
This plate of appetizers is what the usual arrogant guest wants, if it is delayed, he will definitely be punished, maybe he will have to deduct his wages, Xiao Cui couldn't help but close his eyes, but the expected sound of the plate breaking did not sound, Xiao Cui opened her eyes lightly, and saw that the food that should have fallen on the ground was still neatly placed on the plate, and the plate was being held in the hands of the woman who had just hit it.
"I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death, ......" Xiao Cui patted her chest and gasped, then crossed her waist and shouted to the man in front of her: "Which new girl are you?" Don't you know that you can't enter the backyard! ”
Cheng Jiujiu smiled lightly, and then pretended to have a suddenly realized expression: "Oh~ It turns out that you can't enter here, then I'll go." After saying that, he turned around and shook his hand, and threw the dish in his hand to the side, Xiao Cui didn't react, and watched the exquisite appetizer fall to the ground along with the plate.
"Smack!"
This time it was really a smash, Xiao Cui's mouth was open and almost stuffed into a fist, seeing that the woman in front of her was about to leave, she hurriedly stepped over and grabbed Cheng Jiujiu's arm, and scolded: "Why do you not understand the rules so much?" Do you know who asked for these dishes? Believe it or not, I told Mama Zhang to go? ”
Cheng Jiujiu forced a smile and asked, "I'm not a girl, how do I know who this is for?" Besides, you just asked me to go. ”
Xiao Cui's anxious tears were about to come out, and her two hands grabbed Cheng Jiujiu's shoulders: "I don't care, you dropped my dish!" You're going to pay me! ”
"Oh~" Cheng Jiujiu looked down at the broken plate on the ground, and asked in a weird way: "Then how much silver do I have to pay you?" ”
"This is made of the best ingredients, at least two taels of silver!"
Chengjiu's eyes are going to pop out, just this little radish and green vegetables will cost two taels of silver? The little girl in front of her is not a fuel-efficient master, seeing Xiao Cui's tears in her eyes, Cheng Jiujiu no longer teased her, took out a piece of emerald green and transparent jade pendant from her arms and shook it in front of Xiao Cui's eyes: "I don't have silver, but I have a lot of valuable things." ”
Xiao Cui looked a little stupid, stretched out her hand to take it, Cheng Jiujiu retracted his hand and said: "Sister, don't worry, this dish can compensate you, but your dish is not worth my jade pendant." ”
Xiao Cui came back to her senses, and when she saw the girl in front of her looking at her with a smile, she couldn't help but feel nervous, and stammered: "I, although my dish is not valuable, but the plate is fired in the best celadon kiln, and I can't buy it on the market......"
Cheng Jiujiu waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Cui to continue: "Don't be, I will compensate you for this jade pendant, but I still need you to do me a favor." ”
"What can I help you? If you're trying to find a man, I can't help it. ”
"You don't need to find a man, just ask you about someone." Cheng Jiujiu gestured with his hand on his face: "Do you have a very ugly woman here, and she has some disgusting rotten sores on her face." ”
"Of course...... Why are you asking about this? Xiao Cui suddenly became alert, the girl in front of her seemed to have bad intentions, and Cheng Jiujiu frowned: "You don't want my jade pendant anymore?" ”
"Think...... But I want to know why you're looking for her, and if you don't tell me I won't know anything. Xiao Cui's eyes stared at Yu Pei, but her tone was very resolute, which made Cheng Jiujiu more curious about Ah Ugly, and he thought of an excuse as soon as his eyes rolled: "It's not a secret, I came to Luoyang to look for relatives, and I inquired outside today, and some people said that we have an ugly girl ring here, and it just so happened that my sister also left home because she couldn't marry because of her ugly appearance, so I came to take a look." ”
"Really?" Xiao Cui looked at Cheng Jiu Jiu Liquor in disbelief, and Cheng Jiu Liquor did not ink and gave Yu Pei to Xiao Cui, and said, "Let me ask you, when did that girl ring come to this green building?" ”
Xiao Cui held the jade pendant excitedly, thought for a while, and said, "It should have been three years." ”
"Three years...... Where is she now? ”
"At this time, Sister Ugly should be washing clothes in the laundry room in the backyard, and I can take you there."
"That's not necessary, just point it out to me." Cheng Jiujiu patted Xiao Cui's red face and said with a smile: "This jade pendant is very precious, don't let others see it casually, especially those who dance swords and sticks." ”
Xiao Cui's eyes were full of this jade pendant, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What?" Could it be that you stole this jade pendant? ”
Cheng Jiujiu laughed, grabbed Xiao Cui's arm and said, "It's not stolen, it's picked up." ”
