Chapter 54: Fierce
Lao Su was slightly embarrassed and said, "It's a pity that there is only one horse." ”
Chu Nan was slightly stunned, thinking about it, the two of them rode the same horse with a dog, which was really a bit weird.
Moreover, Lao Suo is obviously afraid of the yellow dog Gengmeng at the moment.
Chu Nan pondered: "As far as you know, is there a town around here?" I'm going to buy you a horse. ”
Lao Su said helplessly: "Actually, I am also a newcomer, I am not very familiar, and many towns and cities along the way have long been empty. ”
Chu Nan hummed and glanced at the yellow dog, the yellow dog jumped up in understanding, and lay on the back of the horse, Chu Nan led the horse and said, "There should be a war horse, let's go forward and take a look." ”
Lao Suo had no choice but to follow behind Chu Nan, in a trance, he really felt that the young man in front of him was a kind person, and it was difficult for the older generation to trust a young man's temperament from the bottom of his heart.
After walking out of this maple forest, it is a continuous hill, Chu Nan and Lao Suo were busy for a long time, only to finally see a road to the west, a few days ago there was a heavy rain, the mud on the road has not completely dried, Lao Suo took a closer look at the road, there are no ruts, obviously in recent days, this road has not been passed.
Along the way, Lao Suo didn't know what to say to Chu Nanyan, the original intention was to chat and relieve boredom, the road was long, and he had been silent all the time, and he inevitably felt a little lonely in his heart.
Chu Nan didn't know how to speak, after all, the yellow dog Gengmeng was at fault first.
Two days later, the sky was clear, and the autumn sun was shining like gold on the earth.
Chu Nan and Lao Su arrived at the top of a mountain, looked down the opposite mountain, and finally saw a town, the city was intact, and the ancient city walls resisted the increasingly biting cold wind.
Lao Su said: "This should be the West Wind City, under the command of the Yongle Dynasty, I don't know what the current situation in the city is, it is estimated that it should not be too chaotic." ”
Chu Nan said: "Whether it is chaotic or not, you can see it when you enter the city." ”
"Outsiders are not the only ones you and me."
"Let's go."
Lao Su nodded, and suddenly asked curiously: "You really want to do something for me, I have never heard of such a cultivation method." ”
Chu Nan smiled slightly: "In terms of age, you are not the kind of person who has seen too little. ”
Lao Suo replied casually: "Maybe I'm vulgar, in the chaotic Xizhou, putting on a decent gentleman's style, not only makes me unaccustomed, but also makes many people unaccustomed to it." ”
Chu Nan smiled and said nothing, at least a righteous gentleman is a compliment.
On the way down the mountain, Lao Su couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you really just coming to Xizhou to see the world?" ”
Chu Nan calmly responded: "Does this also seem abrupt? ”
Lao Su shook his head and smiled: "It's different, with your killing power, you will gain a lot if you join a force at will, and you are so young." ”
"At first, I thought you were an inner disciple or a descendant of a famous sect, but I observed along the way, you have neither the nobility of the children of the family, nor the style of the Yiren in the famous sect, you are very simple and peaceful."
"But if you want to say that you don't have a backer, I naturally don't believe it, there are not many martial artists in the world who arrived at the age of you."
Interpersonal interactions are always unavoidable at first.
Chu Nan smiled indifferently and said: "My reputation as a person is still very good, you deal with me slowly first, if you don't get along well, find the reason from yourself." ”
Lao Suo: "......"
"I try."
An hour later, the two arrived outside the city of Zephyr.
Under the city wall, Chu Nan glanced up at the wild geese flying south, and inexplicably thought of Xiong Xiaomeng, and he didn't know where the girl had arrived in Xizhou now.
A yellow dog lying on the back of the horse, the young man led the horse, the old man followed, the patrol soldiers at the city gate saw this, but also slightly sideways, in recent days, there are more and more strange people entering the city.
The street is full of traffic, the cries of small traders and vendors are endless, and even under the blue sky and white sun, there are bursts of moving laughter in the green building.
The old man who followed behind Chu Nan couldn't help but take a look at Qinglou, and this glance turned around and disappeared.
In the restaurant, there are not only heroic men who eat meat and drink wine, but also scholars who are in a remote corner and just want to quietly taste a glass of Xizhou wine.
When it comes to drinking, it is best to make the local people's home-brewed local liquor with the most flavor.
The local people, the grain used, is naturally the millet in their own crops, its heat, but also tempered over the years, although the price is not as good as the famous wine in the restaurant, but the flavor is its own school, meet the master of wine tasting, just one bite, you can distinguish the local folk customs and cultural customs.
But Chu Nan doesn't drink, and these little doorways are also from Lao Chen at home.
Chu Nan and Lao Su casually entered a restaurant and had a good meal first.
The restaurant is very lively, the sound of chatter is endless, in terms of dress, most of the people here do not belong to Xizhou.
However, most of the content of the chatter is related to the collapse of the Xizhou Heavenly Pillar, and in recent days, there have been some small frictions between the Lihuo Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, and the two kings are sparing no effort to attract people's hearts and strengthen their power, and it is estimated that sooner or later there will be a war.
Chu Nan didn't care about these gossips, but the old man on the side listened to them with relish, for Xizhou, the troubled times are really coming.
After a long time, the wine and meat are served, Bazhen duck, Buddha jumping over the wall, Luluo soup, and the unique roast meat flatbread of Zephyr City.
Lao Su saw that Chu Nan didn't move the chopsticks, and he didn't dare to move the chopsticks himself, so he looked at the Buddha jumping over the wall closest to him.
Gengmeng, the yellow dog under the table, also flowed out of Harazi.
Seeing this, Chu Nan didn't want to explain anything to Lao Suo, he didn't like red tape, but occasionally there should be rules, and people should not be too casual at some point.
After Chu Nan moved his chopsticks, Lao Suo followed.
And the yellow dog Geng Meng at the corner of the table also got his wish and got two duck thighs.
At this moment, a middle-aged beautiful woman in palace clothes walked in, and there were two delicate-looking young men beside the beautiful woman, the two young men looked exactly the same, one was dressed in red, and the other was dressed in purple, both with long swords hanging from their waists, and their bearings were extraordinary.
In contrast, the middle-aged beauty looks more noble and natural, between her eyebrows and eyes, revealing a sense of transcendent arrogance, as a middle-aged beauty, she will naturally not deign to come to a restaurant with so many people, but now that the city of Zephyr is overcrowded, she has no better choice.
After entering, the middle-aged beautiful woman saw the yellow dog Geng Meng under the corner of the table at a glance, and her eyes moved up slightly, it was the young man she had seen not long ago.
However, the old man on the table, after seeing this beautiful woman, his eyes were about to bulge out, and he almost drooled, that temperament, that amount, made the old man vaguely dream back to his bloody youth.
Seeing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman just glanced at Lao Suo lightly, and the old woman suddenly felt dizzy, bleeding from the nose and bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and almost lost her breath.
Chu Nan turned his head in an instant, and looked at the middle-aged beautiful woman.
Between his eyes, Chu Nan remembered that when he and Wu Ke duel, it was this middle-aged beautiful woman who shouted for Wu Ke to fight him alone, and the impression of this woman was quite acceptable.
"Little brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, why is there such an old thing around you who can't be on the stage?" The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled meaningfully at Chu Nan.
Lao Su no longer dared to look directly at this middle-aged beauty, and his intuition told him that this girl was more tiger wolf than a tiger wolf.
Chu Nan frowned slightly and said: "I have some relationship with him, he is my friend, and I hope that my predecessors will bear with me." ”
Chu Nan also noticed the details of Fang Cai, if it weren't for the bad eyes of this old man, he would definitely not end up like this.
The middle-aged beauty snorted and said softly, "Can you sit at the same table?" ”
Chu Nan looked at it, the tables around him were almost overcrowded, and he nodded: "Okay, meeting is fate, I have a treat today." ”
The beautiful woman smiled, and when the old man on the table saw this situation, he hurriedly picked up a piece of chicken leg and got up to make way of the place, this girl is too fierce to provoke.
The two beautiful young men behind the beautiful woman called the little maid in the restaurant, what the owner likes to eat, these two people have always known in their hearts, but at this moment, the master has a good impression of the young man in front of him, which makes this pair of beautiful young people resentful, and they really want to drag Chu Nan to a place where no one is and beat him up.
Women are jealous, but so are men.
The beautiful woman glanced at the yellow dog Geng Meng in the corner of the table, she was very impressed, and the two Jindan realm powerhouses of the Wu family were severely damaged, such a good dog is rare.
"Since you want to eat a meal of wine and meat for your little brother, why don't you apply for a name?" The palace beauties looked at Chu Nan and said with a smile.
This look is like the turbulent Nu River in spring.
Chu Nan was calm and calm, and responded: "In Xia Chu Nan, Xizhou people." ”
After hearing this, the beautiful woman in the palace subconsciously asked, "Chu Nan Xiaoyou also belongs to the people in that town?" ”
Chu Nan was a little surprised, but it was not so unexpected, the beautiful woman in front of him gave him a very deep feeling, and it was not an accident to be able to guess this matter, and at the same time, Chu Nan roughly knew that the people of the Wu family might have exposed their roots, as for whether it was intentionally exposed or unintentionally exposed, it was unknown.
In short, the local old households in Longchang Town, appearing on the land of Xizhou, will naturally be looked down upon by others from the bottom of their hearts.
Chu Nan said from the goodness: "Could it be that the predecessors have relatives in the town?" ”
The palace beauty said: "Yes, but the relationship is not deep, but I heard that there is an interesting story, last year's drought, there was a young man's house for the treasure of feng shui, it was not affected, is the young man you?" ”
Chu Nan's heart sank, he didn't expect that those who sold their land and went out would reveal these things to the outside world, which was unexpected.
I didn't expect that the beautiful woman in the palace in front of her had perfected her skills in observing words and feelings, and she could see some of Chu Nan's roots so quickly.
Chu Nan asked curiously, "How do you call your senior?" ”
The beautiful woman in the palace did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Hua Lian, from the Xiuling Sect. ”
Chu Nan was slightly stunned, although he didn't know much about the Songbai Gate, he had heard of some exquisiteness in general, Xiuling Sect, from Yu Baizong.
The word Xiu Ling, as heavy as ten thousand, whether it is the way of the sword, the way of Dan, or the rest of the Dao, there must be one that stands out in the Bai Sect in order to win the word Xiu Ling.
The word Hualian, the same is true, Songbai Daotong under the door, only one person can be honored on the lotus throne, the word lotus, under the Songbai door, can not be used indiscriminately.
At this moment, the little maid came with a few dishes, the meat and vegetables were halved, Chu Nan glanced at the classification of the dishes, and roughly judged that the noble man in front of him was very concerned about the coordination of yin and yang and the principle of balance.
"I've seen Hua Lian's seniors." Chu Nan said softly, with a hint of awe in his tone.
Although the impression left by Bai Zong Ji Yao on Chu Nan was slightly bad, in essence, it was just a fight between Ji Yao and Xiong Xiaomeng, and the middle-aged beauty in front of her and Chu Nan barely had a little good fate.
This trace of awe is just a reverence for the elders who are highly respected.
It's just that the master should live in a simple place, how could he come to this bustling and busy place, Chu Nan couldn't understand it for a while.
However, when the dishes came up, Hua Lian didn't move her chopsticks, she kept staring at Chu Nan's face, and suddenly said: "People with high moral standing will also like fireworks in the world, and they will also join in the fun. ”
"However, some of the sculptures in the temple like the jade liquid, do not eat the fireworks of the world, and often play the role of savior."
Chu Nan's face was slightly embarrassed, and at this moment he realized that no matter what thoughts he had in his heart, he would be easily seen by the master in front of him, and the gap in realm cultivation was like fluorescence and Haoyue.
"Seniors are high-minded, but I'm superficial." Chu Nan said implicitly.
Hua Lian didn't care, and continued to ask: "What is Xiaoyou's intention when he comes to Xizhou this time?" ”
Chu Nan responded: "Just to see the world." ”
Hua Lian glanced at the old man who had already arrived outside the restaurant, and said suspiciously: "So, older people are more able to show the way?" ”
Chu Nan shook his head and smiled: "No, it's just that I owe him something, I promised him a condition and accompanied him to Tianchi." ”
Hua Lian smiled knowingly, she didn't expect Chu Nan to be such a one-sided person.
It's just that the feng shui on the young man's face made Hua Lian feel a trace of pity in her heart, and she seemed to be handsome facing the yin owl, but these eyes were like a bright moon hanging high.
"Coincidentally, I'm also going to go to Tianchi, why don't you go through thick and thin?" Hua Lian said.
Chu Nan was speechless for a while, feeling that the person in front of him was a master, so he told the truth, such a master went to Tianchi with him, and he really didn't know what kind of changes would happen.
In essence, Chu Nan would prefer to meet today, just Pingshui, as for whether there will be an intersection in the future, it will be a matter of the future after all.
But Chu Nan didn't think much about it, for fear that the master in front of him would see more of his thoughts.
embarrassed and said: "This time I came to Zephyr City, I plan to buy a horse, but the old man has no mount, and I don't know what the horse market in Zephyr City is like." ”
Hua Lian laughed and said: "Okay, I will arrange a horse for you, it will be of great benefit to me to be able to walk the same road with a martial artist like Xiaoyou, besides, you invited me to lunch today." ”
Advantage?
Out of the corner of Chu Nan's eyes, he glanced at the two handsome young men behind the beautiful woman, this word benefit is really a bit heavy.
Directly asked, "What are the benefits?" ”
The beautiful woman began to move her chopsticks and said: "I appreciate you, you are different from ordinary teenagers, look at your demeanor and temperament, you should belong to the early wisdom of the youth, but the heart is still clear, now my realm cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, I need a whetstone, and Xiaoyou's demeanor is the best whetstone." ”
"Of course, you may not understand these mentalities and truths at the moment, but when you get older in the future, you will naturally understand."
Chu Nan thought about it and thought about it carefully, but he couldn't come up with a reason, but he just felt that this opportunity was purely gratuitous.
That's it, one step at a time, Chu Nan is powerless to refuse the heart and will of this senior.
Hopefully, this journey won't be too long.
Chu Nan hopes that he and Geng Meng will go the same way through thick and thin and see the world.
Chu Nan and Yellow Dog Gengmeng ate a lot of this meal, but the middle-aged beauty just tasted it, then put down the chopsticks, and after Chu Nan settled the account, he walked out of the restaurant with Hua Lian.
Outside the restaurant, Lao Suo is still waiting honestly.
The beautiful woman in the palace was reluctant to talk to a character like Lao Suo, but for some reason, she said to Lao Suo: "You have been lucky recently......
