It only takes half a day to go to Dog Mountain by water from Luoyang, but if you take the land route, you will have to walk for three more days, Yan Ting and the two of them did not stop for a moment on the road, and they came to the gate outside the city of Qizhou after one day and one night.

Now that people are sleepy and tired, Yan Ting asked Mu Qinghong to go into the city to spy on him, maybe there are unexpected enemies waiting for him in the city, and he took a nap outside the city first, Yan Ting was woken up by Mu Qinghong not long after he lay down, he rubbed his eyes and wondered: "Why did you come back so quickly?" ”

Mu Qinghong looked excited, and said excitedly: "You will never think of anyone in the city." ”

"Who's in town?"

"The world's number one swordsman, Li Chaoqing, and your little lover."

Yan Ting yawned, not understanding what Mu Qinghong meant: "Where do I have a little lover?" ”

"Dugu Xiaoying! Dugu Xiaoying is in the city now! Mu Qinghong grabbed Yan Ting's head and kept shaking: "There is also Li Chaoqing, Li Chaoqing, who has not been out of the mountain for many years!" He's actually going to show up here! ”

Yan Ting was shaken like this, and his sluggish head also came to his senses, and he was shocked: "You said Dugu Xiaoying is here?" ”

Mu Qinghong nodded excitedly, Yan Ting pinched his face vigorously, and asked suspiciously: "Have you seen Dugu Xiaoying?" ”

"Nope."

"Then have you ever seen Li Chaoqing?"

"Not either."

"Then how do you know that those two people in the city are real?" Yan Ting scolded, Dugu Xiaoying is still incognito in the Qinglou in Luoyang, how could she go to Qizhou to be with Li Chaoqing? Mu Qinghong saw that Yan Ting didn't believe it, and pointed to the crowd coming and going at the city gate and said: "Now that the city has spread, Li Chaoqing and Dugu Xiaoying are in an inn, and they also opened a ring, which fool do you say is still so fearless pretending to be these two people?" ”

"Kick the ring?" Yan Ting hammered his head, he couldn't understand what Mu Qinghong was saying anymore.

Mu Qinghong saw that Yan Ting was at a loss, pulled him up, and said, "You and I go to have a look, if it's fake, we'll treat it as fun, but if it's true." ”

Yan Ting asked, "What if it's true?" ”

Mu Qinghong showed a strange smile: "I'll steal them all." ”

The two walked into the city, Mu Qinghong took Yan Ting through a few streets, Yan Ting was far away and saw a small inn surrounded by countless people, Yan Ting struggled to squeeze through the crowd, but what he saw in front of him made him dumbfounded.

I saw that the door of the inn was open, and there was a yellow fir boy outside the door who was beating the gong and shouting: "Don't miss it when you pass by!" Fifty taels! As long as fifty taels of silver, he will challenge the world's number one swordsman Li Chaoqing, and walk by Mo ......" At this time, a crackling sound sounded in the house, and a woman's coquettish shout came: "Someone will carry him out, the next one!" ”

Yan Ting's voice was very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember it for a while, seeing that someone took out another fifty taels of silver and walked in, Yan Ting asked Mu Qinghong on the side: "How much silver do you have?" ”

Mu Qinghong said: "I don't have anything on me except the robe you gave me, but I can steal it." ”

"Steal it, I'm going to go in and have a look." Yan Ting urged.

"No problem, but I'm going to go in first." After Mu Qinghong finished speaking, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd behind him, Yan Ting just turned around and heard a woman's heroic shouting from the inn: "Carry him out, and then the next one!"

There were many people shouting to enter, and at this time, Mu Qinghong held a stack of silver tickets high above his head in the crowd and shouted: "I'll give five hundred taels!" Let me go in first! ”

Huangshan Gongzi smiled happily, pointed at Mu Qinghong and shouted to everyone: "Is there a higher bid?" Not on his advanced. No one bid, Mu Qinghong flew over the crowd, stuffed a stack of silver tickets into the hands of Huangshan Gongzi, swaggered into the inn, and retreated without two steps as soon as he entered, his face was extremely strange.

Seeing Mu Qinghong retreating, Huangshan Gongzi asked, "Why did you come out again?" ”

Mu Qinghong shook his head quickly: "I admit defeat, I won't go in." ”

"I won't return the money."

"I don't want any money."

Mu Qinghong said that he would leave without looking back, Yan Ting was confused in the crowd, Mu Qinghong's face just now was something he had never seen, and when Mu Qinghong walked to Yan Ting's side, he couldn't wait to ask, "What did you see in the inn?" ”

Mu Qinghong gave him a stack of silver tickets and said, "You will know when you go in." ”

Yan Ting didn't ask anymore, and also learned from Mu Qinghong to raise the silver ticket in his hand above his head, Huangshan Gongzi looked at it at a glance, and shouted loudly: "You, you, you go in first." ”

Yan Ting stepped forward, stuffed all the silver tickets to him, and asked at the same time, "Dugu Xiaoying is also inside?" ”

Huang Shan Gongzi counted the silver tickets in his hand and smiled from ear to ear: "Inside, inside, it's okay to fight whoever you want, but it doesn't matter if it hurts." ”

Yan Ting nodded and stepped into the door, all the wine tables in the lobby had been moved around, making a large open space for the lobby, and a man and a woman were sitting on the ground while drinking and looking at Yan Ting.

Yan Ting smiled, he couldn't help laughing, and asked the man in front of him, "Your Excellency is the world's number one swordsman Li Lanqing?" ”

The man threw Yan Ting a pot of wine and laughed heartily: "Yes, I am Li Chaoqing." ”

Yan Ting took the wine but didn't drink it, and asked the woman in front of him: "Then the girl is Dugu Xiaoying of the Dugu family?" ”

The woman's tone was a little displeased: "What do you ask so much?" Hurry up and show your guy, there's still someone lined up behind you. ”

Yan Ting nodded, and as soon as the man stood up, Yan Ting hurriedly shouted, "I don't want to fight you." ”

The man was stunned: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Yan Ting pointed to the Chengjiu wine in front of him and said with a smile: "I want to fight with Dugu Xiaoying, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Xiaowu smiled even more, and turned his head to Chengjiujiu to urge: "Come up, Miss Xiaoying, this son wants to learn from you." ”

Chengjiujiu Moth frowned slightly, looked at Yan Ting's empty left sleeve, and asked, "Are you sure you want to fight me?" ”

Yan Ting had already taken out the Red Blood River and said, "I admire the swordsmanship of the Dugu family very much, and I must ask the Dugu girl for advice." ”

"Good!" Cheng Jiujiu stared at the Red Blood River, and slowly got up and pulled out the pear blossom: "Although I don't recognize this thing, I can also see that this dagger is extraordinary, and I only use my right hand." ”

"No, I don't." As soon as the words fell, Yan Ting had already swung the Red Blood River and stabbed forward at great speed, he did not spare any mercy in this blow, he knew that Chengjiujiu Wine would definitely be able to take it, Chengjiujiu did not even move half a step, his right hand was slightly raised and he used the pear blossom to resist the Red Blood River, Yan Ting had expected that Chengjiujiu would resist like this, and his wrist was raised upwards and stabbed at Chengjiujiu's neck, Chengjiujiu lowered his head and bit the Red Blood River, and the pear blossom was also across Yan Ting's throat at the same time, as long as he stood up close to half an inch, Yan Ting would definitely die on the spot.

But Yan Ting made an unexpected action of Cheng Jiujiu, he didn't seem to see the sword across his neck, but desperately stretched out his head and hit Cheng Jiujiu's head, Cheng Jiujiu never thought that the person in front of him would be so desperate, hurriedly withdrew the sword back, and his mouth also released the red blood river and avoided it backwards, Yan Ting took this opportunity to stab his right hand forward quickly towards Cheng Jiujiu's neck.

Cheng Jiujiu suddenly gave up resistance, looked at Yan Ting motionlessly with a smile, Yan Ting's hand also stopped, and the two stood and looked at each other silently,

"Why did you stop?"

This is Yan Ting's question, there are countless ways to block the blow of Chengjiujiu just now, but she watched Yan Jing go over, and Chengjiujiu said with a smile: "Because I want to see if you will really stab it." ”

"What happens if I stab it?"

"Then you'll lose that arm."

Cheng Jiu Jiu's tone was extremely flat, but Yan Ting vaguely heard a hint of murderous intent, of course he would not doubt whether Cheng Jiu Jiu Jiu could do it, he then asked: "You have already put your sword against my neck, why do you want to retreat?" ”

"I promised a friend that I would not kill anyone until the date I had agreed with her."

Yan Ting smiled and said, "Then your friend must be a very upright person, and she doesn't want you to commit murder again."

Cheng Jiujiu said: "I don't have many friends, she must be the best one." ”

Yan Ting said: "Actually, I also met a special friend, and she also persuaded me to put down the butcher's knife and get rid of right and wrong in the rivers and lakes with her. ”

Cheng Jiujiu said, "You should listen to your friend. ”

Yan Ting smiled: "I really should listen, although she is not beautiful, she is ingenious, and the pigeon soup she cooks is even more delicious in the world, I hope to taste it one day." ”

Outside the inn, the crowd began to be a little restless, and countless people gathered around the door clamoring to go in and compete with Li Chaoqing, and Shen Ying could barely stop it.

Hearing that there was no movement in the room, Shen Ying poked her head in and shouted, "Are you all okay?" I can't stop these people. After speaking, he was stunned again, because he saw that Cheng Jiujiu and the man who had just come in seemed to be looking at each other affectionately, while Li Xiaowu sat on the side and looked at the two with interest.

Shen Ying asked again, "What are you doing?" Is it over? ”

Cheng Jiujiu was interrupted by Shen Ying's voice, turned his head and shouted to him, "Just let the people behind you come in normally." After speaking, he pulled Yan Ting and walked towards the backyard of the inn, Shen Ying looked at Li Xiaocao on the ground in confusion, Li Xiaocao shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't look at me, I also wonder what happened to them." ”

Chengjiujiu pulled Yan Ting into the backyard, kicked Yan Ting to the ground with a kick, rode on Yan Ting's body and opened his mouth to spit on Yan Ting's face, and wiped his two hands on Yan Ting's face for a while, the makeup on Yan Ting's face was wiped off by her, revealing his true face, Chengjiujiu touched Yan Ting's face, and was a little happy: "Sure enough, it's you, Yan Ting." ”

Yan Ting also smiled: "It's me." ”

"I knew you wouldn't die so easily." Cheng Jiujiu smiled happily, but became very sad: "You must have suffered a lot these days. ”

"It's a lot, but I'm lucky to meet a few friends."

"What's the matter with your hands?"

Cheng Jiujiu grabbed Yan Ting's left sleeve, and there was a hint of murder in his words: "I want you to tell me what happened in the past few days." ”

Yan Ting told all the things about Luoyang to Chengjiujiu, Chengjiujiu listened quietly, while thinking carefully about the details of everything, and after Yan Ting finished speaking, she asked: "I want to know what your plan is, why do you have to have that Hai Yichuan?" ”

Yan Ting said: "I can't say. ”

Cheng Jiujiu said: "Would you rather tell Mu Qinghong than tell me?" ”

Yan Ting smiled: "You are the same as Dongfang Shenwei, I have the opportunity to gamble, but Mu Qinghong is different, if I don't tell him, he will really disappear immediately." ”

Cheng Jiujiu was a little melancholy when she heard this, she felt that Yan Ting didn't trust her as much as she trusted Yan Ting, and said, "Are you still afraid that I won't want to help you if I listen?" ”

Yan Ting hurriedly said: "I don't have this kind of thought, and you shouldn't have it either." ”

Cheng Jiujiu looked at Yan Ting silently, Yan Ting felt that the current atmosphere was a little delicate, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "You should believe me, when will I do something that I am not sure of?" ”

Cheng Jiujiu sighed: "If you are really such a person, you should not be whipped by me in vain that day." After speaking, she opened Yan Ting's shirt, the shocking whiplash she left for Yan Ting that day had just scabbed, Cheng Jiujiu gently stroked those wounds with his hand, and then said: "You shouldn't give Sister Xiaoying any promises, she and you and I are not all the way." ”
