Chapter X

Walking on the streets of Yiling, it has become the same here as before. The traffic is busy and bustling.

The young men and girls on the roadside stalls were shouting hard, and the ethereal music came from the Jiyue Building, and people came and went in the Chitose Building.

People's self-regulation ability is always strong, and no matter how much sadness they encounter, they can dissolve it on their own. Because everyone knows that no matter what, life has to go on.

Hua Xiangrong followed the caravan out of the city and was about to leave Yiling, when a little girl timidly grabbed the corner of her clothes.

"Sister......" she shouted.

"What's the matter?" Hua Xiangrong asked her.

"Sister, sugar, sweet." The little girl shoved the candy in her hand.

Hua Xiangrong smiled and touched her head: "Why do you want to give my sister candy?" ”

"Look good, fight, fight the bad guys." She stammered.

"Do you want to say that this sister is not only good-looking, but also defeats the bad guys?" Su Budu suddenly interjected.

The little girl nodded immediately, then smiled sweetly.

"Then where did you see your sister beating up the bad guys?" Su Budu asked.

Hua Xiangrong felt that his current expression was like a big-tailed wolf that specialized in coaxing children.

"Big house, big house." She clapped her hands and said.

"Is it the big house?" Su Budu pointed to the county guard and asked.

The little girl tilted her head to look at him, and suddenly grinned, "I won't tell you." ”

Then she disappeared directly in front of the two of them.

Hua Xiangrong and Su Budu looked at each other. Where did this little girl come from? Could it be that she was there yesterday? But all the monks present, and no one found her?

Hua Xiangrong spread out his palm, and a piece of osmanthus candy was quietly placed on it. It's her favorite sugar.

Hua Xiangrong thought about it and put the sugar in her mouth. It's still as sweet as what I ate in my previous life.

"If you want to be a girl, it's not a prudent choice to eat what strangers give." Su Budu said.

"She has no ill will." Hua Xiangrong said while eating sugar.

"You...... Like to eat osmanthus candy? Su Budu wanted to ask, "How do you know", but when the words came to his mouth, he turned around and became this sentence.

"I like it, osmanthus is sweet and can solve all kinds of worries. In my opinion, it's much better than the Chiaki drunk that gave people nightmares. Hua Xiangrong said.

Su Budu's eyes moved slightly, and he didn't say anything more in the end. Just silently walked side by side with her.

Pei Jin was at the front, and they were at the rear, one after the other, in case anything happened to the caravan.

Fortunately, the road from Yiling to Mianyang was calm, nothing else happened, and they arrived in Mianyang smoothly.

Mianyang is different from Yiling. Yiling is lively, and Mianyang is quiet. The architecture of Yiling is rich and magnificent, but the blue walls and white tiles of Mianyang have their own leisurely charm.

It had just rained last night, and the ground was still a little damp. The bluestone slabs on Mianyang Street can see the figures clearly.

The streets are lined with yellow leaves, the autumn breeze blows slightly, and the air is fresh after the rain. Walking in Mianyang is really a pleasant thing.

No wonder Wu Su wants to live here, he has a vision.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a batch of goods to be unloaded in Mianyang, let's find a place to settle down first." The owner of the caravan said.

This time, the inn is called the Riflest Inn. Are people in business superstitious? I have to have something to do with the word "Fu". Let's hope this time it's a blessing and not something else.

The owner of the Rifle Inn is a young and beautiful woman who looks very capable.

"Yo, a few guest officers, please, there are still vacant rooms in the shop." She welcomed them very warmly.

As soon as I sat down, I heard the other people in the store chatting.

"Have you heard of a recent strange incident in Cangzhou?"

"What wonder?"

"The two big families in Cangzhou, the Hua family and the Xu family, are going to get married. And guess what? The man didn't deliberately keep his voice down, so everyone in the store could hear it clearly.

"What's wrong?" The person listening to him asked.

"As a result, the second lady of the Hua family and the eldest son of the Xu family both eloped with others!" The man who spoke at first said.

"With whom?"

"I don't dare to say this, the Hua family and the Xu family, I can't afford to mess with it."

"Hey, I don't think you know!"

"That's it, I won't say anything halfway through the words, he must have made it up by himself to deceive people!"

"Liar!"

Everyone was suddenly disappointed, and the crowd was angry for a while.

"Who said I made it up? I'll tell you now! The second lady of the Hua family ran away with a black-clothed and iron-faced thief, and as for the eldest son of the Xu family, it is said that he has the good of Longyang, and he left with a man. The man stood up in a hurry and said loudly.

The entire inn fell silent.

Hua Xiangrong almost choked on a sip of tea and coughed several times.

"Is this girl choking?" The hostess asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's Boss Lao who cares." Hua Xiangrong waved his hand.

"Don't be the boss lady, my name is Qian Ying, most of the people here call me Yingniang, just call me Sister Ying." She said to Hua Xiangrong.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Ying." Hua Xiangrong smiled at her.

Qian Ying took the tea, walked to the table of the person who spoke just now, and said, "This guest, chasing the wind and gossiping behind his back, is not a gentleman's doing. ”

She gently placed the teapot on the table, turned and walked away.

"Am I chasing after the wind? Could it be that the boss lady knows the truth? Tell everyone about it. ”

"Of course, I don't know the truth. But when it comes to the reputation of both of them, you'd better be cautious. Qian Ying stopped and said lightly.

Her tone was soft, but the warning was clear.

"No, how do you speak?" The man was about to stand up as soon as he slapped the table, and was pulled to sit down again, and said something in his ear.

He didn't have any more seizures, just snorted coldly and sat back down.

"Miss Rong, what the man said just now is true?" Su Budu asked.

"Running away from marriage is real, everything else is fake." Hua Xiangrong replied.

Su Budu let out an "oh" and didn't ask any more.

"But whether Xu Xuanying is as good as Longyang or not, I don't know." After a while, Hua Xiangrong added.

"Nope." Pei Jin, who had been silent, suddenly interjected, and his tone was very affirmative.

"How did Brother Pei know?" Su Budu asked with some surprise.

"Meet him." Pei Jin said.

"So, Pei Gongzi already knew that I was her fiancΓ©e?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

"I don't know."

In response to a question about Xu Xuanying, Pei Jin's words were very brief.

"Looks like the two of you don't just know each other." Su Budu shook the folding fan and smiled deeply.

"Confidant." This time, Pei Jin hesitated for a moment and said.

"Those who can be cited by Brother Pei as a confidant must be amazing and brilliant people. If you have the opportunity, you will definitely meet this eldest son Xu. Su Budu smiled slightly and took another sip of tea.

"My sister said that Xu Xuanying is handsome and unparalleled, and her smile is as bright as a peach and plum, burning like a hibiscus......" Hua Xiangrong remembered Hua Chanyu's description and repeated it.

"I see, I'm still a beauty." Su Budu put down the teacup and tapped the edge of the teacup with his fingertips.

"Brother Pei, is that so?" He asked Pei Jin.

"That's true." Pei Jin said.

"Pei Gongzi, how did you and Xu Gongzi meet?" Hua Xiangrong asked again.

Pei Jin briefly told the story of how the two met and got to know each other.

It turned out that Pei Jin was injured during an experience and happened to be rescued by Xu Xuanying who was passing by. At that time, Xu Xuanying was still the most dazzling genius of the Xu family, and was expected to reach the achievements of the ancestors of the Xu family.

The two people, who are also teenagers, soon became friends, and when Pei Jin left, he agreed that he would not get drunk or return home the next time they met.

"Later, I heard about him, but at that time I had something to do and couldn't rush over." Pei Jin shook his head.

"Goodbye him, this time. He was seriously injured and could no longer cultivate. Pei Jin's eyes were slightly red.

"He doesn't seem to care personally, but I know he's a very proud man. So I never dared to think about it, and I didn't dare to ask how much suffering and coldness he had to endure to become what he is now. Pei Jin said with a sigh.

"Then does Pei Gongzi know where he went?" Hua Xiangrong asked.

"He said he was going to run away from the marriage and go east. There was the Medicine King Valley to the east, and he should have gone there. Pei Jin said.

It seems that Xu Xuanying is going to treat her injuries.

"He's not there to heal." It seemed that he had seen through what Hua Xiangrong was thinking, and Pei Jin denied her idea.

"His wounds were not healed at all. He went to the Medicine King Valley to do something else, but I can't tell you. Pei Jin continued.

"I see. Thank you Pei Gongzi for your doubts. Hua Xiangrong didn't ask.

"If you don't go to the doctor, do you want to set up a stall?" Su Budu said jokingly.

Pei Jin glanced at him and didn't speak.

Yes, you guessed it. Hua Xiangrong thought. Then he couldn't help but glance at Su Budu, this person is really smart.

The people in the inn were still chatting enthusiastically.

"In addition to the marriage between the son of the Xu family and the Miss Hua family, the Hua family has one more thing."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"I heard that Hua Chanyu, the eldest lady of the Hua family, went to the burial sword mound!"

Has my sister already gone to find the way? That's great. A smile appeared on Hua Xiangrong's face.

"Also, the last of the three major families in Cangzhou, the Wei family, has been holding a funeral recently."

"Whose funeral?"

"It is said that he is the head of the Wei family." The man said in a low voice.

"The head of the Wei family is alive and well, why did he die?"

"I was killed, and I heard that he died a very tragic death."

"Who is so bold as to dare to kill the people of the Wei family?"

"That is to say, there are people in the Wei family in Xianmen. The Hua family and the Xu family both respect them for three points. ”

Is the head of the Wei family dead? But what does it have to do with her. Hua Xiangrong thought casually, and if she died, she would die.

"Does this brother know which immortal sect it is?" Su Budu asked.

"It's the Canglan Sect." The person who spoke about it whispered.

"I see. It seems that that person is indeed in big trouble, thank you brother Tai for informing me. Su Budu said with a smile.

"You're welcome, you're welcome." After the man finished speaking, he turned back to chat.

"You killed it?" After Su Budu turned around, Pei Jin and Hua Xiangrong asked in unison.

A trace of helplessness appeared in Su Budu's eyes: "Please also ask the two of you to keep it secret for me." ”

"Brother Su, why did you kill the head of the Wei family?" Pei Jin asked in a low voice.

"Revenge." Su Budu said briefly.

"A little old grudge, don't mention it again."

Pei Jin and Hua Xiangrong didn't want to say anything, so they didn't continue to ask.

Qian Ying came over with another pot of pastries.

She put the pastry on the table and said, "This is a begonia cake that is a specialty of the small shop, and the three guests will try it." ”

The begonia cake looks good and exudes a faint aroma. Hua Xiangrong took a piece and put it in his mouth, it tasted really good. Speaking of which, she really likes sweets.

"This begonia is crispy but not greasy, melts in the mouth, and has a unique aroma of begonias. The hostess bothered. Su Budu said.

"This son knows at a glance that he is an insider." Qian Ying said happily.

"Are the three guest officers coming to Mianyang also to participate in Master Wu Su's Qushui Liuyu banquet tomorrow?" She asked.

"Sister Ying, what is the Qushui Liuyu Banquet?" Hua Xiangrong asked rhetorically.

"Aren't you here to attend this feast?" Qian Ying was a little surprised.

"We followed the caravan from Cangzhou to Yunzhou, just passing through Mianyang." Hua Xiangrong replied.

"I see." Qian Ying nodded.

"The Qushui Liuzhen Banquet is a painting appreciation meeting held by Master Wu Su, and only those who get the begonia flower post can go. I saw that the three of them were very well dressed and talked, and I thought you were also invited to participate. ”

"We are all vulgar people, and the proprietress has won the prize." Su Budu said with a smile.

"Childe is too humble. I see, with this fan in the hand of the son, you can go to the Qushui Liuyu feast. Qian Ying said.

Then she went on to do something else.

"This boss Qian can run an inn by himself, it's really not easy." Pei Jin said.

"Exquisite, intelligent and careful." Hua Xiangrong looked at her back and said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, do you want to go to the Qushui Liuyu Banquet?" Su Budu asked.

"We don't have begonia flowers, how can we go?"

"Didn't the proprietress say that? I can go with this fan in my hand. Su Budu said.
