『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 17 The road is narrow

Yinxia rode in front, and the farmer man followed closely behind with a swift pace, but he didn't pull half a step.

After doing this for half a cup of tea, he saw that there was a mountain road ahead, but Yinxia never left him behind.

Yinxia looked sideways, but saw that the farmer's face was calm, his steps were like meteors, and he didn't see how hard he worked, but the interval between each step was more than a zhang. He breathes steadily, his steps are even, and he walks up the mountain as if he were walking on the ground.

Yinxia couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and was suddenly aroused by his competitive heart: if these four legs were compared to two legs, wouldn't it be a joke?

"Drive!" she snapped, pulling the reins of her horse tighter and speeding up suddenly.

Yinxia was surprised, but she didn't know that the farmer's heart was amazed. If you are as quick as she is, you need to ride a horse like this, and if you are not careful, your horse's leg will be broken, your rider will roll off your horse, and you will fall to the bottom of the mountain, and everyone will die. The mountains here are steep, the roads are narrow and rugged, and ordinary people will get off their horses and lead them. And this girl not only did not rein, but also dared to speed up, showing that she was quite confident in her riding skills. But seeing that she was radiant and full of confidence, the horse was under her control, and it was as flexible as an extension of her body. The farmer can't help but secretly pick his thumb, what a heroic heroine on the horse!

After walking for a while, I came to a very narrow turn ahead. Yinxia jerked the reins, sat down and neighed, raised her front hooves, and stepped heavily on the narrow road, jumping over with lightning agility.

The farmer showed no weakness. Taking a deep breath, his body suddenly floated high, and he stepped on the mountain wall, and through the gap between the horse and the mountain, he drilled through like a gust of wind.

The two of them were left behind in an instant, and the two were still neck and neck!

"You're doing a good job. Yinxia slowed down the horse's speed, and turned her head to praise the farmer from the bottom of her heart. She rode on a horse, after all, taking advantage. This peasant man accompanied her all the way, and she was able to share the same color, and she admired it very much.

"The girl's riding skills are superb and rare, and Liu admires them. The farmer laughed loudly and gave her a thumbs up. The mountain trail is narrow, and there are several places that can be described as treacherous. She rode a horse parallel to him, but she was able to keep the horse's body from touching him, and in addition to her good equestrian skills, she also had a good heart.

Thinking of this, he laughed, "Under Liu Xialiang." I wonder if the girl would like to give me her name?"

"Why not?" replied Yinxia heartily, "My name is Koji Yinxia." ”

Liu Xialiang looked at her with a smile, "Miss Koji, I see that you are also a good-minded person, I don't know what kind of enmity you have with the Wen family? ”

"There's no vendetta either. Yinxia said lightly, "It's just that my family used to have business dealings with his family, but now my family is dilapidated and urgently needs silver, but his family refuses to save it." ”

She has a good impression of Liu Xialiang, this person is upright, vaguely exuding a heroic righteousness, but the amount of tribute is huge, and she doesn't think he can really help.

"I see. Liu Xialiang frowned and said, "Then why are you going to his house now?"

"Of course, I went to his house to borrow money. Yinxia's face was slightly red. Although I have made up my mind, the word "steal" is still unspeakable.

Liu Xialiang asked, "How many silver taels do you need?" If you can, maybe I can help you make a mediator from his family and borrow some silver taels from you." ”

"Thank you, Brother Liu. Yinxia hugged her fists and thanked her, sincerely grateful. He was one of the few people who was willing to help her after she came to the Central Plains.

Liu Xialiang thought for a while, and then said, "If the Wen family doesn't borrow it, I'll help you think of a way." I'm a little thin on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Don't bother Brother Liu, his son-in-law has promised to help me. It's just that the money is in a hurry now, and I want to get it in advance. Yinxia received his kindness and didn't want to implicate him. Seeing that his clothes are extremely plain, he is not expected to be a wealthy person.

She asked, "I don't know why Brother Liu came?"

Liu Xialiang said: "I'm here to find the fourth son of the Wen family. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the fourth prince of Wen has superb swordsmanship and extraordinary character, I wonder if you know anything about him?"

Yinxia snorted coldly, "The swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary, but the character may not be superior. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"He has a bit of ability, and he is very cold and arrogant to people. ”

Liu Xia nodded coldly, "It is inevitable that the son of the family will be like this, but it can't be said that he has a bad character because of this. Listening to the girl's tone, could it be that he once offended the girl?"

If you want to say how Wen Haowu behaves badly, Yinxia really can't say. However, the two have had several encounters, but none of them left a good impression on Yinxia. The first time they met, this fourth prince Wen spoke to Yinxia in a condescending tone, which made her dissatisfied. Later, the women on the school field pursued him, but he rejected people thousands of miles away, which made Yinxia look at him unpleasantly. Immediately afterwards, he came to the door and asked coldly when Yinxia was angry. Yinxia ran into walls everywhere in the Central Plains, saw a lot of cold faces, and was particularly sensitive to cold words, Wen Haowu gave her the feeling that she was the most annoying indifferent person.

Therefore, Yinxia said angrily: "It's not okay to be offended." But why do you care so much about him? I heard that his family is choosing a wife for him recently, do you want to go to him to get married? Brother Liu, I see that you are a good person, so I kindly persuade you: Although that kind of person can be regarded as talented and good-looking, that kind of character can only be seen from a distance, and he may not be happy to get along. ”

Liu Xialiang was stunned when he heard what he said, and then laughed, "I didn't come to him to kiss him." Besides, my sister-in-law has already gotten married. ”

"Then what did you do when you went to his house?"

"I'm a fast arrester, so naturally I went to his house to handle the case. ”

"Handle the case?"

Yinxia suddenly felt a little weak. She is now going to the Wen family to steal, and this Brother Liu is coincidentally a famous catcher. The thief and the catcher meet in this place, can it be regarded as a narrow road?

"Exactly. Liu Xialiang nodded.

Yinxia stopped suddenly, and twisted her head to the side: The Wen family once had thieves haunting, and Liu Xialiang wanted to catch the thieves quickly, could it be that the Wen family invited him to catch the thieves? If this is the case, isn't he the person he wants to investigate.

Seeing her expression change suddenly, Liu Xialiang smiled faintly and didn't care. It is common for people in the rivers and lakes to taboo the government.

Smiling kindly, he said the reason, "Actually, I'm also here for the affairs of the rivers and lakes." Not long ago, a few days away from here, in Humopo, Bishui County, there was a tragic case of various sects fighting and killing each other. More than 30 masters of various factions actually killed each other to death. The number of people involved in this case is rare. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yinxia exclaimed, her expression slightly relieved.

Liu Xialiang said: "According to what I have checked, there may be one person alive in this battle." According to insiders, it was a young swordsman who exuded a cold aura from his body. Among the rivers and lakes, there are only two young people who practice cold swordsmanship and rank among the masters, one is the 'Cold Sword' Xu Shaofeng who is far away in Kunlun, and the other is the fourth son of the Wen family in Junan, the 'Frost Sky Sword' Wen Haowu here. ”

"That's why you're asking me about Wen Haowu?" Yinxia said, letting go of her worries. He didn't come for the thief's business.

"Exactly. According to the rules of the investigation, I must see him in person and ask him for clarification. ”

Yinxia thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's possible for Wen Haowu to do that kind of thing. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Wen Haowu is arrogant and conceited, not like someone who will fight with the crowd. ”

Arrogant and conceited? Liu Xialiang couldn't help but smile. It seems that the fourth son of Wen, who is famous in the rivers and lakes and has the hearts of countless beauties, really didn't leave a good impression in the hearts of the koji girl.

The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they came to the top of the mountain.

In front of the village, there is a Zhuang Ding to inquire.

Liu Xialiang stepped forward with a fist, "The capital arrests Liu Xialiang and came to ask to see the fourth son of Wen." As he spoke, he took out a gold medal and handed it over.

After Zhuang Ding read it, he respectfully handed it back, "It turned out to be the royal gold medal Liu Mingzhu Liu." Please wait, Lord Liu, and go to the next place. ”

Liu Xialiang nodded and put away the gold medal, retreated to the door and waited quietly.

Yinxia looked at Liu Xialiang in surprise: I can't see it, he is quite famous. I've heard Xiao Yin say, doesn't he have no official position? Why is he called an adult, and what kind of royal gold medal?

Thinking of what she was about to do, she was still a little weak: it was better for her to stay away from this Liu Mingzhuo. After saying goodbye to Liu Xialiang, she walked straight to the village gate.

Zhuang Ding still stopped her, "If you come with Lord Liu, please wait." ”

Yinxia said: "You don't recognize me, I just went out from here with your third son in the afternoon." ”

"Third son?" Zhuang Ding's eyes showed contempt, and he looked at her proudly and said, "The second son has an order, and in extraordinary times, idle people are not allowed to enter the village." ”

Yinxia sensed his contempt, but she could only suppress her anger, "Then I am the dancing girl selected by Master Xu Zizhan Xu, so you can always go in." ”

"Do you have a warrant from the three chiefs?"

"What warrant?"

"The main selection of dancers are rehearsed in the village, unless there is a warrant from the three chief managers, they are not allowed to leave the village at will. ”

Yinxia couldn't help frowning: she hadn't received any warrants. It's so troublesome to enter a mansion, and there are really enough broken rules in this Wen mansion.

Seeing her hesitate, Zhuang Ding seemed to understand something, and his expression became even more arrogant, "The selection of the dancing girl has long been over, and the three chief managers have an order that the unsuccessful dancing girl is not allowed to enter the mansion again." ”

Yinxia was displeased, "I'm not a failed dancer, your third son can prove it." ”

"Is it still the third son?" Zhuang Ding's tone changed, with obvious mockery in his tone, "The third prince that the girl said has not returned yet, and I am afraid that he will not come back tonight." The girl is alone, and it is late at night, and I am afraid that the girl will have no place to sleep when she enters the house. I also asked the girl to enter the house with the third son tomorrow. Please come back now. ”

Yinxia didn't hear the sarcasm in his words, but she also saw his disrespect. Her displeasure was even more prevalent, and she couldn't help but get angry.
