Chen Mingye touched the brown horse that Jiang Ying had specially prepared for himself, looked back and looked deeply in the direction of Anshun City, turned over on the horse, waved the reins, rode out, and went north along the straight.

This straight road was built by the Haoming official, and there is a post house every thirty miles along the way, which is specially used for scouts and envoys to rest their feet and feed horses.

Chen Mingye traveled all the way, and arrived at an inn at the junction of southern Xinjiang and Haoming before dark.

The brown horse under him is obviously a thousand-mile good horse selected by Jiang Ying for him, with excellent foot range, but the good horse also needs to rest, Chen Mingye got off the horse and let Xiao Er lead him to feed, and he entered the inn to take a break.

"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" Xiao Er saw the person who came, and immediately greeted him warmly.

"Stay. Chen Mingye simply replied.

"Okay, we still have two good guest rooms in the store, do you want to ...... it?" the shopkeeper continued to say enthusiastically.

"An ordinary side room is fine, and then prepare some wine and food. Chen Mingye said casually, and glanced at the shopkeeper, "Lead the way." ”

"Okay, please come in, guest officer. Xiao Er shouted, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

Xiao Er led him to the door of a side room, and opened the door with a smile: "Guest officer, what do you think of this environment?"

"It's okay," Chen Mingye nodded and walked in.

The furnishings in the house are quite simple, a table, a chair, a bed and a quilt, but there are no superfluous objects.

"Guest officer, are you going out of Xinjiang?" Xiao Er came up and wiped the table, cleaned up the mattress, and turned around and asked.

"Hmm. Chen Mingye responded lightly.

Seeing that he reacted coldly and didn't want to say more, Xiao Er also realized that he had cleaned up and walked out of the room, and said, "The guest officer will wait a while, and the wine and food will be sent to you later." With that, he closed the door.

Chen Mingye put down his burden, sat down in the room, glanced around, and fell into deep thought.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Er's knock on the door woke him up from his contemplation.

"Come in. He deliberately didn't lock the door, so after opening his mouth in a low voice, Xiao Er pushed the door and walked in.

"I'm sorry to disturb the guest officer, the food and drinks you want have been prepared, please use them slowly. Xiao Er glanced at him secretly, put down the tray in his hand, and walked out silently.

Chen Mingye looked at the wine and food on the table, and then realized that he was already hungry.

Absorbing spiritual energy and cultivating the Dao could have been able to open the valley, but Chen Mingye was too lazy to bother with this thought, and enjoyed the pleasure of appetite even more.

Taking a deep breath, he scattered his originally somewhat chaotic thoughts, picked up the flask on the table, and reached out to pour himself a glass of wine.

The wine of the inn is obviously not as good as that of Osmanthus Village in Wangjianglou in Anshun City, but after drinking it, it is also a little happy.

Chen Mingye had just had a drink when he heard a knock on the door again.

"Who?" he was stunned, the shopkeeper had just left, could it be that something was wrong?

The knocking on the door stopped as he spoke, but there was no answer outside.

Chen Mingye frowned, just thinking that someone had knocked on the wrong door, and was about to take a cup and drink again, when the knock on the door rang out again.

"Who?" Chen Mingye asked in a low voice, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Still no voice answered.

It didn't take long for the knock on the door to sound again.

"Interesting," Chen Mingye hooked the corners of his mouth, and the whole person flashed out like lightning, taking advantage of the moment when the knock on the door continued, he slammed the door open, and the momentum of the whole person was ready to reach the peak, just ready to teach the guy who likes to pretend to be a ghost outside the door a lesson.

However, the door was still empty.

Chen Mingye was slightly stunned, and there was a railing opposite him, and he could see the hall of the inn down.

At this moment, the hall is still quite lively, the shopkeeper is shuttling back and forth in front of the hall, and a brightly dressed woman on the counter is bowing her head and "crackling" seriously calculating.

The entire inn was a lively scene, and no one seemed to pay attention to the anomaly here. Chen Mingye only felt that his hairs seemed to stand on end.

He can now be regarded as a master of the peak of the eighth rank of martial arts no matter what, although he is one line worse than the ninth rank of martial arts, but with the unique spiritual breath of cultivation and qi cultivation, he believes that his perception is not worse than that of a master of the ninth rank of martial arts.

But now, he didn't notice the figure of the person at the door when the knock sounded.

Could it be that in such a small inn, there will be a master of the Grandmaster Realm, and he will come here to find his own happiness?

Chen Mingye squinted his eyes and closed the door slightly stiffly, but the moment he turned around, he only felt his heart beat violently.

For no other reason, in the room that was originally empty except for him, one more person suddenly came out.

Chen Mingye didn't react for a while, only felt a cold sweat break out in his back in an instant, and the whole person was terrified.

However, the next moment, after seeing the person clearly, Fang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Xiaohong?" As the words came out, Chen Mingye realized that his voice had become so hoarse in just a few moments.

That's right, the little girl who is sitting on the edge of the bed with a smile and dangling her calves, who else could it be if it wasn't Xiaohong?

"Hehe, does the little junior brother miss me?" Xiao Hong was still wearing a bright red little red robe, looking at him with a crooked little head, and his little face was full of smiles.

The corners of Chen Mingye's mouth twitched slightly, this little girl dared to pretend to be a ghost to scare herself.

"Why are you here?" he stepped forward, dragging his chair across from him and sitting directly across from Red.

"Woo woo, junior brother, don't you welcome me?" Xiao Hong pouted and looked at him aggrievedly.

"Answer my question first, did you sneak out without telling your master?" Chen Mingye suddenly felt a little headache, how did this little girl have the courage to go down the mountain and be able to run so far.

Xiaohong snorted, seemed to be very unhappy with his question, and simply stopped talking.

"Okay," Chen Mingye was helpless, so he had to take the initiative to reconcile with this little girl, "Are you hungry?

Xiao Hong glared at him angrily, and her little face turned red.

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, I can't do it, I shouldn't have killed you. Chen Mingye comforted in a loud voice.

"Well, I want to eat. Xiaohong ignored him, and her eyes fell on the wine and food on the table.

Chen Mingye suddenly smiled and said, "Eat, eat, let's eat, it's not enough to order more." ”

Xiaohong turned her head and glanced at him, and said crisply: "That's definitely not enough." ”

Chen Mingye covered his face helplessly.

After a storm, Chen Mingye has been amazed at Xiaohong's ability to destroy food, and even more marveled at how her little belly can hold so much food.

After about a stick of incense, Xiaohong Fang raised her head from the table full of food, patted her little belly with satisfaction, and looked at Chen Mingye's eyes obviously much friendlier.

"Okay?" asked Chen Mingye tentatively.

"It's barely good. Xiaohong tilted her head and lay down directly on the big bed, with a happy look on her face.

"If you can't lie down immediately after eating, sit up quickly. Chen Mingye stretched out his hand and pulled the lazy little girl up.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Hong suddenly pouted again, looking at him unhappily, "Little junior brother, you dare to take care of me." ”

"This is not Qingxuan," Chen Mingye hooked the corners of his mouth, "You are a child, you have to listen to adults." ”

"I'm not a child," Xiaohong retorted unconvinced, "You're a child, and you have to listen to adults." ”

Chen Mingye looked at Xiaohong's angry appearance funny, and still pulled the little girl up with all his might. Xiaohong kept complaining, but she seemed to listen to him very much, and sat up with his movements.

"Come on, what's going on?" Chen Mingye felt that he had really found a good way to suppress this person's little ghostly little Nizi, "How could you sneak down from Qingxuan alone?"

"Well, I don't say it. Xiaohong turned her head.

"Don't you really say it?" Chen Mingye looked at her with a smile.

"Don't say it!" Xiaohong swore and insisted on it.

"If you don't say that I'll leave you alone tomorrow, I'll leave by myself. Chen Mingye looked at her and said.

"Hmph!" Xiaohong snorted unhappily, but there was no movement for a long time.

Chen Mingye had enough of teasing, and was about to speak again, but Xiaohong spoke by herself.

"Actually, it was the master who asked me to come down the mountain. ”

The little girl spoke softly and glutinously, but the expression on her face was extremely stubborn.

"Master?" Chen Mingye looked incredulous, "How could she allow you to go down the mountain alone?"

"Because, you're going out of Xinjiang, so let me bring you something. Xiaohong said as a matter of course.

The more Chen Mingye listened, the more confused he became: "What is it?"

"Well, this is it. Xiaohong stretched out her slender little hand to the bed and touched it, and took out a long strip-like object wrapped in a strip of cloth.

Chen Mingye stared at it, and the shape was like a sword.

"This ...... Master, let you send me a sword?" Chen Mingye asked inexplicably.

"Hehe, the little junior brother is really not smart," Xiaohong glanced at him proudly, obviously happy that he didn't guess.

“...... What is that. Chen Mingye decisively refused to play a guessing game with Xiaohong, and asked bluntly.

"Hmph!" Xiaohong turned her head again and stopped talking.

Chen Mingye had a headache: "Okay, can't you hand it over to me and see it myself?"

Xiaohong looked at him steadily: "Little junior brother, you have changed. ”

Chen Mingye looked confused.

"You've never been so impatient before," Xiaohong's aggrieved look, even her big eyes were a little red, "I begged Shizun for a long time before she agreed to let me come down the mountain to you." ”

"Hey," Chen Mingye suddenly felt a little distressed when he looked at Xiaohong's appearance, so he had to stop and say, "It's because I've been too anxious recently." ”

Recently, from the coercion of the envoys to the confrontation of the six clans, and then to gallop all the way back to Kyoto, since coming down the mountain, he was indeed too eager for many things, and he didn't even leave enough room for himself to think.

Xiaohong saw him sighing, and then she flew away, and her petite body rushed into Chen Mingye's arms.

"Little junior brother, don't worry, senior sister will always cover you. Xiaohong said, like a child's words that have never faced the hardships of the world, her voice is soft and glutinous, and her words are innocent.

Chen Mingye could clearly hear the extraordinary firmness in the childlike and simple words.

"It's up to me to protect you in the world under this mountain. Chen Mingye smiled and reached out to touch the head of the little girl in his arms.

Xiaohong seemed to enjoy squinting her eyes, and after she came back to her senses, her little face immediately turned a little red, and the little girl slapped his hand away quite angrily and said, "It's not allowed to touch Xiaohong's head, it won't grow tall." ”

Chen Mingye smiled, and his gloomy heart, which was originally uncertain about the future, quietly improved a lot.

"Little junior brother, you better open it and look at it yourself. Xiaohong thought for a moment and handed him the long strip of cloth in her hand.

Chen Mingye simply took it, and without hesitation, he opened the layers of wrapped cloth directly.

Many packages were gone, and the innermost layer was a simple and deep ink-colored scabbard, I don't know what material it was made of, and it was unpredictable and light to start.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Chen Mingye's doubts were even worse.

"I don't know. Xiaohong also turned her head and looked at the scabbard on the table curiously, as if even she didn't know the function of the scabbard.

Chen Mingye thought about it again and again, and understood that it was useful to silence the platform, so he repeated that the scabbard was sealed with strips of cloth, and the package was received together.

"Are you going back after you finish delivering your things?" Chen Mingye asked, looking at Xiaohong.

"It's not a good deal," Xiaohong crossed his hands on his hips, and looked at him with Shui Ling's big eyes, "Little junior brother, have you forgotten, you promised Xiaohong to take Xiaohong to eat a lot of delicious food!"

"......" Chen Mingye was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that his unintentional words would come true so quickly, and it became a justified excuse for this little girl.

"If you don't go back, Shizun will be angry!" Chen Mingye had nothing to do, so he had to move out of the platform again, after all, from the experience of the past days, Xiaohong should be very concerned about Shizun, and she is also the most obedient to Shizun.

"Hehe, this time, Shizun agreed!" Xiaohong heard Chen Mingye mention Shizun, but did not flinch in the slightest, the sunshine on his face became more and more brilliant, and his face was full of pride.

"Really?" Chen Mingye's face was full of disbelief, he didn't believe that the silent voice of the platform would rest assured that this little girl would go down the mountain alone and mess around outside.

"Of course it's true, Xiaohong won't lie!" Xiaohong seemed to be dissatisfied with Chen Mingye's suspicions.

Chen Mingye pondered silently for a moment, according to this little girl's ability, although she could secretly wander around Qingxuan, but if she wanted to sneak down the mountain, she would inevitably be noticed by the master.

Although Chen Mingye is not clear about the specific realm of the silence of the platform, he thinks that it should be worse than the old man of Qingwei at the beginning, and it is always appropriate to treat this little girl.

"So, you want to follow me to Kyoto?" Although Chen Mingye understood the meaning of this, he was still a little relieved in his heart.

"That's right, where the little junior brother goes, Xiaohong will go!" The little girl's eyes widened, and she looked serious again.

This...... Isn't there always a little heel worm behind him, even if Xiaohong's body is very powerful and her spiritual power is very profound, but, many things, it always seems inconvenient to have her.

Chen Mingye, who used to be the first marshal in Kyoto and boasted of being a chic and unrivaled person, suddenly felt that the future was particularly bleak on the way to Kyoto.

It was the first time he felt so genuinely that he felt as if he had something terrible going on.
