In the afternoon of this day, Liu Jizu and his party came to Jinyang City.

This is the largest city Liu Jizu has seen in this life, and the shape of the city is beyond Liu Jizu's imagination. Looking at Jinyang City from afar, it is divided into three sections, the scale is grand, the city wall is towering, and the city wall is also full of prominent arrow towers.

Liu Jizu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in ancient times when there were no modern weapons, it was too difficult to attack such a city, no wonder the ancients said that they would attack the city.

They drove along the official road in the north of the city and followed the flow of people towards Jinyang City, and when the distance was closer, they could see more clearly. The gate of Jinyang City is tall and strong, and the moat outside is wide and neat, connecting the official road and the city gate through bridges. According to Wu Lun, there are twenty-four such gates in Jinyang City, which is simply incredible. There were soldiers with guns standing guard on both sides of the city gate, and the soldiers' equipment and mental outlook were much better than those in the county town, but they were not checked and searched.

After entering the city, the prosperity of Jinyang City was beyond Liu Jizu's imagination, and it was the first time he had seen so many people in this life. The main street is lined with two- or three-story shops. The streets and shops are full of people.

They could only lead the mule cart and walk slowly, Wu Lun took them to the hotel first, and chose an inn with a very good environment in Xicheng, although there was no upper room with a big wooden barrel, but the conditions were also the best Liu Jizu had ever lived.

They unloaded the cart, handed the mules to the guys, and moved into the shop with all their valuables. Li Ruping was so happy that she dressed up and found Liu Jizu, and asked Liu Jizu to accompany her to go shopping and buy things.

She had already said it in Liu Jizu's ear several times when she was on the road before, and Liu Jizu was very upset. For this reason, before entering the city, he also asked Wu Lun, "Didn't you say that you didn't stay in the city, why did you live in such a big city now?"

Wu Lun said: "Jinyang City is not as good as those ordinary cities, this is one of the largest cities in the country. The government is extremely tightly controlled, and the forces of the rivers and lakes cannot make waves here. Besides, this is the governance office of Shanxi Road, there are the best restaurants in the whole Shanxi Road, and there are so many delicious foods, how can you miss it!"

Liu Jizu thought to himself that this was the real reason why Wu Lun wanted to live in the city, he was only sixteen years old on the surface, but in fact his psychological age was already in his thirties, and he had already passed the stage of being curious about everything mentally, plus he had been on the road for most of the day, and he was very tired and tired all the way, so he didn't want to go shopping. He originally wanted to persuade Wu Lun to go out of the city to stay, but now it seems that it is impossible.

Liu Jizu was worried about what excuse to send Li Ruping away, so Li Ruping came to him, and he didn't knock on the door, and when he pushed the door in, he had to drag Liu Jizu to go shopping.

Liu Jizu said that if he wanted to leave, he had to say hello, and he finally pinned his hopes on Wu Lun to stop them, so he gave Wu Lun a look.

Wu Lun pretended not to see it, and instructed: "It's okay for you to go shopping, but don't make trouble! You must come back before dark, otherwise we won't wait for you to have dinner, I've been looking forward to this dinner for several days, don't regret you missing it!"

As soon as Li Ruping heard the joy, she pulled Liu Jizu and went out.

Liu Jizu has never personally enjoyed the honor of shopping with a woman in his two lives, he was just reluctant to follow Li Ruping at first, purely because he hated her as a person. It wasn't until later that I realized that accompanying women to go shopping was also a chore for men.

Liu Jizu soon discovered that Li Ruping, who usually complains constantly after walking for a short time, never shouts tired when she goes shopping, but becomes more and more energetic when she goes shopping. Liu Jizu became her follower, and she called and drank to make the east make the west.

At this time, they happened to come to a relatively open place, and saw that it was full of people gathered in circles, and from time to time they let out cheers.

Li Ruping was curious, so she squeezed in one by one and found that there were all kinds of tricks inside.

Liu Jizu was afraid that he would lose her, so he had to follow closely behind. Wu Lun told him that these people who are performing in the city are all running rivers and lakes, relying on their own skills to eat, but the people inside have everything, so it's better to be careful. I saw that there were jugglers, fire-breathers, sword-swallowers, jugglers, monkey players, medicine sellers, fortune tellers, chess fighters, martial arts practitioners, and singers, and they couldn't be counted.

Li Ruping had to look at each of them, and then threw a copper coin and changed it again. Finally they came to a corner, where there were not many people around.

Before the two of them could get near, they heard a woman talking inside, "The little girl has come to your land, and her father has unfortunately died of illness, and he owes a debt of ten taels of silver. I haven't gotten on yet, so I have to compete here to recruit relatives. As long as you can win against me, and pay my debts for me, and if you are willing to marry me, I will marry him, and if you are not willing to marry, I will make him a slave. ”

I guess she'd said it many times, but no one answered. Liu Jizu thought to himself that it was actually a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and let me encounter such a thing, and the curiosity in my heart was also aroused. Li Ruping had already passed by this time, and when she went in, she was startled at first. Liu Jizu also followed closely, and was also startled by the person in front of him, because the face of the woman inside was a little scary.

I saw that the girl was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was about one meter seven tall, which was very tall among women. But he had no waist, his waist and abdomen were a little thick, he was wearing a set of old lotus clothes, a white cloth wrapped around his head, and a sword in his hand. Her face was an unhealthy yellowish brown, and there was a long series of flesh-red scars on the left half of her face, which looked like a burn, much like a hideous centipede, how ugly it was.

But if you look closely, you will find that this woman has a very good figure except for the uncoordinated waist, especially the two legs, which are the most slender legs Liu Jizu has ever seen in this life. Her face shape, eyebrows and eyes are also extremely beautiful, but because of that unhealthy face and that scar, many people don't look at her face, how can they pay attention to these.

At this time, a prodigal child next to him coaxed: "Just like you, I don't dare to ask for it if I take it to me, you will have nightmares when I see you at night." I have to pay ten taels of silver, and ten taels of silver can find the top card of Wanhualou to sleep for one night!"

The other next to him continued: "I think it's a little useful, and it can ward off evil spirits at home!"

The third laughed and said, "It's useful! But looking at you, I'm afraid I can't get hard!"

The two people in front of them laughed when they heard this. When the people around saw it, some laughed and some felt disgusted, but they didn't dare to provoke these people. The girl didn't say anything, but repeatedly asked if anyone was going to fight.

Liu Jizu thought that this girl was very pitiful, and he wanted to help her, but with this appearance, he didn't want to compete in martial arts to recruit any relatives. While he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in the left half of his buttocks, and he let out a sigh and rushed forward, standing right in the field.

Liu Jizu looked back and saw Li Ruping smiling there with a hairpin, which made him angry. Liu Jizu missed, for the sake of you being Mr. Tian's granddaughter, I let you order, but I didn't expect you to be so excessive.

As soon as his anger puffed up, he was about to attack Li Ruping, but the girl's voice came from behind him, only to hear the girl ask softly: "Is this son going to compete with me?"

Listening closer, Liu Jizu found that her voice was very soft and beautiful, not a northern accent, this voice alone made him numb in half, turned around with a red face, and arched his hand, "This girl, I'm really embarrassed, I'm ......"

Before he finished his words, Li Ruping preemptively said: "Yes, my brother just wants to compete in martial arts to recruit relatives!"

Liu Jizu's mouthful of blood almost spurted out, he turned his head and glared at Li Ruping, if his gaze could kill, it was estimated that Li Ruping had died several times.

The girl first took a closer look at Liu Jizu, and saw that he was about the same age as herself, his eyes were stable, his eyes were clear, his facial features were upright, his figure was straight, his limbs were strong, and although his clothes were shabby, they were very clean. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into tears, "Since Childe has no intention of competing, why did he come down to the arena, did he also come to make fun of me? Since you don't want to, please leave quickly, don't laugh at me here, a poor man!"

Liu Jizu was speechless for a while, he didn't know how to reply, he thought about it before saying: "I have ten taels of silver here, and you don't have to compete to recruit relatives, count me as a gift...... Uh, what do you think of the one that lent it to you?"

The girl looked at Liu Jizu carefully a few more times, "It's still better to compare, or how to explain it when so many people look at it." You don't want to compare, what if someone wants to compare?

Liu Jizu didn't know how to answer, the girl handed the sword to her forehand, "I'm going to make a move!" and then stabbed Liu Jizu with a sword.

Liu Jizu is a spirit, he doesn't know the level of this girl's martial arts, and he hasn't fought with anyone else, so he can only deal with it with all his might. He crouched slightly, leaned slightly over the stabbing sword, sealed her hand with the sword with his left fist, leaned back slightly, and swept her ankle with his left foot.

I heard a coquettish cry, and the sword flew out of my hand.

Everyone hurriedly dodged, but fortunately no one was hurt.

The girl's feet were swept off the ground and she fell head-on.

Seeing this, Liu Jizu knew that she didn't know martial arts at all, worried about falling her, he reached out to hold her, his hand just stopped on someone's chest, and he didn't feel anything else, only felt a burst of softness.

The girl blushed and quickly stood up and dodged.

Liu Jizu was also embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, it was the girl who spoke first, and she bowed her hand, "The little girl is not as good as others, she is defeated by the son, and she is willing to serve the slave and the slave from now on." ”

This is the first time Liu Jizu has come into contact with a woman of the same age, and he is still reminiscing about the softness just now, listening to the girl's words, he didn't ease up for a while, thinking that this can also be regarded as a martial arts competition?

At this time, Li Ruping, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, jumped over again and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are not injured!"

Liu Jizu glared at her fiercely, and the people around her who were watching the excitement were startled by the sword that flew out, but their interest was high, but it was just a face-to-face look, and they couldn't help but be disappointed, and they all dispersed.

The girl picked up the sword and said, "I'm fine, the child's martial arts are strong, and the little woman is ashamed of herself." ”

Liu Jizu came to his senses at this time, reached into his arms, and quietly took out the ten taels of silver from the treasure bag and said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, this is ten taels of silver, you can take it to pay off the debt!" After speaking, he handed the silver to the girl, and pulled Li Ruping to leave.

The girl hurriedly stopped Liu Jizu, "Childe, are you disgusting me?"

Liu Jizu snorted, feeling that it was really inappropriate to go like this, and hurriedly explained: "The adults in the family are waiting for us to eat! Girl, hurry up and deal with your own affairs, don't take it seriously about recruiting relatives or something, how can I take advantage of people's danger!"

But the girl wouldn't let go, "What the son said, how can people not believe it." Please follow me to pay off the debt, and then I will go with you. After saying that, she repeatedly asked the two of them to follow her.

Li Ruping couldn't wait to add to the chaos, and she was so energetic that Liu Jizu had no choice but to follow.

The place where the girl lived was not far away, but it was very remote, and they came to a dilapidated inn, and as soon as they entered the door, a shopkeeper with an obscene appearance asked: "Miss Su, listen to Ermao, you are lucky to meet a noble person today?"

The girl nodded, first handed the sword to the shopkeeper, and then took out the ten taels of silver given by Liu Jizu from her arms.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw the silver, and hurriedly took the money and weighed it, and said with a smile: "I said a long time ago, this is a good idea, right! Wait a minute, I'll bring you your baggage, now that I have a husband, everything will be easy. Then he turned around and went into the back room.
