Chapter 25: Longtan Tiger's Den Goes to the King's Banquet;

The king of Chu warmly invited, and Mo Bai could not refuse, so he could only be invited to the banquet.

Yu Bingxin's weak body is inseparable from the person who delivers true qi to her every day, and Yu Xu is not worried about her sister going alone, so she follows the road and goes to Kyoto to go to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of the King of Chu.

The four of them traveled lightly, Yu Bingxin could not travel long distances, Yu Xingzhi prepared a carriage for them, this day in front of the house, the father and son almost had endless instructions, and the joy of the children around the knees made Yu Xingzhi can't help but cry at this time.

"Dad, my brother and I are not around, you must take care of yourself!" Yu Bingxin held his father's wrist tightly and said in a cheer.

Yu Xingzhi didn't speak, just patted her hand gently, her eyes were already red, in the world, parents are worried about their children, until death, if it weren't for Yu Bing's heart being seriously hurt and temporarily unable to fulfill his filial piety, how could he bear the pain of this life.

Life and death are the seven sufferings of others, but death is often much lighter than the pain caused by life and death.

"Xu'er, watch more Bingxin along the way, don't let anything happen to your sister!" Yu Xingzhi said in a long voice.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will take good care of Bingxin and never let her be hurt again!" Yu Xu patted his chest and replied.

Although Xiaolouji is usually very lively, but today it makes people feel extraordinarily lonely, people are cheap from their hometowns, with the march of the carriage, Mo Bai and his party of four people in Xiaolouji are getting farther and farther away, Yu Xu's brothers and sisters keep looking back, this township where they grew up, I can't wait to see it clearly, and then look at it a few more times.

Drifting away, Xiao Louji finally disappeared in their eyes, and at that time, Yu Bingxin couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking to himself, his weak body, I don't know if I can last until I return to my hometown.

Mo Bai wrapped the Tianxing Sword in cloth, in the rivers and lakes, there are not a few people who covet this sword, and it is inevitable that the tragedy of the family will be repeated, so he has done a good job of hiding it in advance, put it in the carriage, and handed it over to Chu Yingying for safekeeping.

And he and Yu Xu sat in front of the carriage and became coachmen.

"Mo Daxia, why didn't my internal strength increase much after I practiced the "Heartless Technique", I conveyed true qi to Bingxin that day, and I almost went mad!" Yu Xu said while spurring the horses.

In fact, Mo Bai already knew, and the suspicion in his heart was just not easy to say for a while, so he just patted him lightly on the shoulder a few times, and then smiled.

Seeing that Mo Bai had no intention of answering, Yu Xu had no choice but to give up.

His question made Mo Bai have another idea in his heart, since Yu Bingxin needs to use his true qi every day to continue his life, this trip is long and risky, if he repeatedly consumes his true qi, if he encounters danger, he is not able to fight at all, and Chu Yingying is just a woman, this responsibility of protection should not be borne by her, Yu Xu's "Heartless Technique" is only a little superficial.

immediately had a plan, why not let Yu Bingxin practice "Wuxin Jue" by herself, as long as she has a breath of true qi to protect her body, when she is in danger, she will not be in danger of her life.

Although Yu Xu has already become accustomed to it, his impression on Mo Bai is not very good, and there may be reasons why he is too enthusiastic about Chu Yingying, in short, in Mo Bai's heart, he can't be trusted.

The four of them drove the carriage all the way to the west and north, Kyoto is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the merchants are prosperous, and the heavy troops are gathered, which is the only location for the imperial capital throughout the ages.

On this day, it was nearly dusk, and it was impossible to drive forward in the starry night, so the four of them checked in at an inn next to the official road, and saw a carriage parked in front of the store, and the guys at the inn had already warmly greeted them.

"Guest officer, have worked hard all the way, do you want to stay in the hotel?" the innkeeper asked very politely when he helped hold the reins of the horse.

Yu Xu jumped out of the carriage, coughed lightly, cleared his voice, and said, "Little second brother, is there still a guest room?" We have been on the road for a day and want to rest early!"

He ushered in the place every day, this ability to observe words and colors is his housekeeping skills, from a person's clothing, speech and demeanor, it can be basically judged that the status of the guest is noble, or the commoner who drives to live.

Seeing the jade pendant on Yu Xu's waist, crystal clear and without any flaws, he immediately knew what tone to use next to greet the distinguished guest in front of him.

"Yes, the guest officer is really a noble person who is blessed to go out, there are just a few good guest rooms vacant in the small shop, or the guest officer will use some snacks in the first store, and the small one will arrange for you to stay!" the innkeeper said fluently in a cliché he was all too familiar with.

"Bingxin, Miss Chu, it's getting late, let's rest here for the night today, and then we'll go tomorrow!" Yu Xu should get off the inn guy, and then turned to the two girls in the car and said.

When they had stepped out of the carriage, the innkeeper led the carriage to the backyard of the inn, added some fodder, and hurried over to greet them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you need something, please do not hesitate to give orders!"

Hearing this, Yu Xu was about to open his mouth to take a roll call, but was immediately said by Chu Yingying: "Don't drink, the rest is on casually!"

He knew that Yu Xu would definitely ask for some drinks when he opened his mouth, and Mo Bai had the experience of being drunk last time, so he didn't dare to touch it again, and he had to heal Bing Xin's luck tonight, so he couldn't delay.

Yu Xu originally wanted to borrow some wine to relieve the fatigue of driving for days, but now he was deliberately stopped by Chu Yingying, so he didn't want it again, so he just waved his hand back and motioned for the guy to retreat.

Seeing his brother's unfulfilled appearance, Yu Bingxin immediately said softly: "Brother, don't drink, rest early with some food, you have to hurry tomorrow morning!"

"It's true, I was managed by my father at home, and when I came out, I still have to be managed by you!" Yu Xu said with some grumbling.

At that time, Yu Bingxin suddenly saw the jade pendant hanging on Yu Xu's waist, and felt a little familiar, and immediately asked: "Brother, I never see you wearing jade ornaments on weekdays, what are you?"

Hearing this, Yu Xu's eyebrows moved, and he said with interest: "You don't understand this sister, right? As the saying goes, a gentleman goes out with weight, and when he goes out, we can't let people look shabby!"

"Yu Gongzi is right, if the inn guy hadn't seen this jade pendant just now, then the greeting to us would have been different!" Chu Yingying immediately responded.

"Hehe! There are so many doorways to hang a jade pendant!" Yu Bingxin said.

The inn is located on the official road, there are many people coming and going, after a while, there were not a few guests before, and all of a sudden the guests were full, and the voices of people were boiling, Chu Yingying placed the Tianxing Sword wrapped in cloth on the table, and inspected it from time to time.

However, her move, just like the three hundred taels of silver here, made people with ulterior motives notice, and immediately a person used the power of wine to deliberately shake past her, knocking the Tianxing Sword to the ground, revealing the hilt of the sword, there is no shortage of people in the rivers and lakes in the inn, naturally someone knows, only to see that after the Tianxing Sword fell to the ground, the person who deliberately passed by took a fixed look, and immediately staggered away with the strength of the wine.

Immediately, Chu Yingying hurriedly picked up the Tianxing Sword and rewrapped it, but at this time, the atmosphere in the inn suddenly became quiet, and the guests who were originally shouting loudly and noisy each other, after seeing the Tianxing Sword, they each whispered to each other.

At this time, Xiao Er had already brought the food, Mo Bai was already hungry, and when he saw the dishes put up, he immediately began to swallow heavily, looking at his indifferent appearance, Chu Yingying muttered to himself: "No heart and no lungs, sleep when you are full!"

Although the voice was small, but he could still hear it clearly, and immediately Mo Bai pulled a mouthful of food, and looked at her very strangely, Yu Bingxin didn't know who Chu Yingying was talking about before, and at this time, seeing Mo Bai's mouth shape being stuffed with food and muttering, it was very funny, and he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Yu Bingxin's burst of laughter, Mo Bai immediately understood his embarrassment, and hurriedly snorted his mouth a few times, swallowed the food, and then put another handful into Chu Yingying's bowl, and then began to pull it up again.

"You are gentle, there are still two girls sitting here!" Yu Xu was also a little unaccustomed to his demeanor, and said mockingly.

Mo Bai has been like this since he was a child, he doesn't eat or sleep, although his eating appearance is indecent, but it makes people look comfortable, compared to those articulate people, he lacks that contrived demeanor.

"That's how it should be to eat, I'm not very hungry, but seeing him eat so much, his stomach is really a little empty!" Yu Bingxin looked at Mo Bai eating and didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and he didn't feel out of shape, but felt very real and simple.

Although Chu Yingying repeatedly reminded Mo Bai during the meal that the guests in the inn were a little strange, she had no choice but to give up when she saw him deaf, but she was always worried about Tianxing Sword and had no intention of eating at all.

After watching Mo Bai eat a big meal, the three of them all felt the preciousness of the meal, and immediately lowered their heads to eat, yes, Mo Bai suddenly stretched out his hand and motioned for Chu Yingying to hand over the Tianxing Sword to him.

"Idiot, it turns out that you already knew, I really thought you just had to eat!" With that, Chu Yingying handed him the Tianxing Sword.

The other people in the inn, seeing Mo Bai taking the Tianxing Sword calmly, poked their eyes and glanced around, and immediately dispersed, and immediately resumed the noise just now.

After the four of them had eaten and drunk enough, they let the guy lead them into the room, and at this time, Yu Xu gave the innkeeper a yellow and white thing, and then asked: "Little second brother, who are the people downstairs just now, and are they also here to stay?"

The innkeeper took the silver ingot, weighed it in his hand, and immediately smiled on his lips, and replied complimentingly: "By the way, guest officer! This official road has been a little uneven recently, and there are often guests who lose their belongings, and they are all passers-by, and they have not stayed in the shop!"

Listening to the innkeeper's reminder, Yu Xu immediately understood that the fall of the Tianxing Sword just now was not accidental, but someone did it on purpose, looking at the formation of those people, I am afraid that there will be a gentleman on the beam tonight, stepping on the stars!

Yu Xu asked for three upper rooms, one for Chu Yingying and Bingxin, but he didn't want to live with him because he saw Mo Bai eating roughly, so he opened a separate room by himself, he was the only son of the Yu family, and he was out of the house, of course, he was entangled in wealth.

After Mo Bai conveyed the true qi to Bingxin as usual, he took the antidote concocted by Chu Yingying, put the Tianxing Sword in front of the bed, and was also a little tired, and immediately fell asleep.

During the night shift, the sound of stepping tiles on the eaves woke Mo Bai from his dream, and he immediately took out the Tianxing Sword from the cloth bag, slowly drew the sword out of the sheath, and the room was dark.
