Chapter 80: The Desert Inn

Is it true that every powerful man who blocks a beautiful woman behind him will be called a hero? Heroes save beauty seems to have always been a common part of romantic love, and it is also a topic of conversation that people talk about in their spare time. But not every hero who saves beauty is coveted by beauty, and not every such man wants to be called a hero, and the reason why they do it may be simply to make themselves feel at ease.

When Wuxin saw Murong Xue sitting at the next table, he couldn't hide a trace of surprise on his face, he didn't expect to meet this slightly rude and willful eldest lady here, in fact, she had just returned to Murong Mansion not long ago, why did Murong Qianhe let her out again.

That familiar face with a familiar smile is Murong Tang's daughter, Murong Xue.

Compared with Wuxin's surprise, Murong Xue looked relaxed and natural, as if she didn't feel surprised at all, as if she had known that she would meet again here, looking at Wuxin with two big eyes and blinking, with a smile on her face.

"Isn't it a surprise? You didn't expect to meet me here, did you? Is it a surprise?" Murong Xue suddenly asked with a strange smile, and got up and moved to the table where they were unintentional, and the two of them sat together. The domineering that was originally in Jiangcheng suddenly disappeared, as if he had changed someone.

In fact, she came here to find Wuxin on purpose, originally Murong Tang received the news that Wuxin was in Gusu City, so she set off to go to Gusu City to look for it, and she felt thirsty when she came here, and planned to take a rest, but she didn't expect to meet Wuxin who was about to return.

At this time, Wuxin had already asked for a pot of tea and began to drink it with his head down, he only glanced at Murong Xue, and then withdrew his gaze, as if he didn't want to say anything other than a hint of surprise.

But the first sentence Murong Xue said when he sat down made Wuxin understand in his heart that Murong Xue came to find him on purpose, as for whether he deliberately waited for him here, it didn't matter anymore, it was not difficult for Murong Tang to find out his whereabouts, not to mention that he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts. But Murong Xue found herself for, and she had no way of knowing.

Murong Xue saw that Wuxin didn't take care of herself, so she put away her slightly embarrassed smile and said with a straight face: "It seems that Wuxin is not welcome in me?" Then I'll go, by the way, the next time I see my father, I mentioned to his old man that he treats people as friends, but others don't seem to think so. ”

Murong Xue secretly observed Wuxin's movements as she spoke, but she didn't mean to stand up at all, as if she was deliberately using words to provoke Wuxin, wanting to see Wuxin's reaction.

After listening to Murong Xue's words, he couldn't help but shake his head, this is the true face of this eldest lady. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your father asked you to come to me?"

Murong Xue nodded and said seriously: "Yes, but my father said that the heartless hero is a busy man, and it is estimated that there will be no time, I want to try my luck, so I stopped by to find you, I don't know if the heartless hero has time?"

"What's the matter?" he didn't care about Murong Xue's deliberate ridicule and asked lightly.

Murong Xue put away her joking demeanor, suddenly became serious, and said slowly: "I'm going to go to Guanwai, three days later, there will be a treasure competition outside Guanwai, my father heard that there will be a gold silk armor, so he wants me to buy it back, but it is estimated that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, my father is not worried that I will go alone, but my brother has been out recently and can't accompany me, and his old man has been busy recently, so I think of you." After speaking, he inadvertently looked at Wuxin's expression and saw how Wuxin reacted.

Unintentionally listened to Murong Xue's words, and fell into deep thought, he didn't know if it was like Murong Xue said, Murong Qianhe wanted to let him accompany Murong Xue to go to the gate, maybe he did have that idea, but he might not be embarrassed to speak, maybe he just mentioned it to Murong Xue, but Murong Xue took it seriously.

He always felt that this matter was Murong Xue's own idea. Because Murong Xue just said that she came to find her by the way, but she didn't know that Guanwai and Gusu City were not in the same direction at all, how could they stop by the way.

Seeing that Wuxin didn't move for a long time, Murong Xue pursed her lips, stood up, turned around and walked out, and said as she walked: "It seems that you don't seem to be very willing, since this is the case, then I have to go by myself, and I won't be old to you." Without looking back, he walked out of the tea shop without hesitation.

Wuxin smiled bitterly, and shook her head helplessly, although Murong Xue's aggressive method was not likable, but her purpose was achieved, and she said that she was moved.

Let's not say whether Murong Qianhe meant it or not, since Murong Xue found herself and said what she meant, if she didn't want to go, in case something really happened to Murong Xue, although Murong Qianhe would not blame herself, she would be more or less unhappy in her heart. Since he regards Murong Qianhe as a friend, he will not sit idly by.

Murong Xue's footsteps hadn't gone far when she heard someone following behind her. Sneaking a glance behind him, a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

The one who followed behind Murong Xue was Wuxin, he was already planning to go with Murong Xue, anyway, he didn't have anything important for the time being, so he should follow Murong Xue to see the excitement.

The desert is always a desolate scene, inaccessible, dozens of miles, even hundreds of miles without people, and even animals are very rare. At first glance, there is no life. If you suddenly lose your way in the desert, then all that awaits you is death, either death of thirst or starvation.

Two days later, Wuxin and Murong Xue finally arrived at the destination of this trip, fortunately they brought enough rations and water, and the two of them were exhausted from running for two consecutive days.

This is an inn, and the only inn within a radius of hundreds of miles, the name is "Jin", there is only one word, but it is simple and straightforward. Because the food and drink here, everything sold here, is extremely expensive, and it can almost catch up with the price of ten times and dozens of times the price outside, so the word "gold" is also aptly called.

Tomorrow is the treasure competition, the inn is already crowded with people, all for this treasure competition, most of them are people who have been on the table on the rivers and lakes, but there are also some people who have grown up outside the customs, and the appearance and behavior can be distinguished from the Jianghu people in the Central Plains at a glance, most of them are extremely vigorous, and their voices are also loud.

Hearing that someone came in again, everyone turned their heads in unison, looked at Wuxin and Murong Xue, and couldn't help but change their expressions, probably surprised by Murong Xue's appearance and Wuxin's dress. However, compared to the unintentional weirdness, people seem to have their eyes on Murong Xue's body, because beauties are always the most eye-catching wherever they go.

A few people began to talk to each other and whisper something after seeing Wuxin. Some of these people have been to the martial arts conference in Huashan, and they have seen Wuxin, and they still remember the scene of Wuxin's battle against the golden swordsman, so they recognized Wuxin at a glance.

Wuxin and Murong Xue ignored the various eyes of these people in the inn, and walked straight to the counter inside and found the owner of this inn, Boss Jin.

This is a middle-aged man who is fat and oily, wearing a robe made of gold silk, holding a big belly, smiling so much that his mouth is grinning to the root of his ears, and he looks like he has eyes open to see money. Of course he would laugh, because these two days were destined to be the days when he made money, and how could he not laugh when he saw the silver flowing into his pocket.

Murong Xue walked to the counter and said casually, "Murong Tang." As she spoke, she glared at a few big men nearby who were staring at her, and snorted coldly. It seems that her attitude towards Wuxin and other men is completely two people.

When Boss Jin heard this, he checked the registration book in front of him, smiled, and said loudly: "Murong Tang has one room upstairs, please go upstairs." After speaking, he bowed to Murong Xue and Wuxin, and made a gesture of invitation, with a respectful attitude. When he heard the words "Murong Tang", it attracted a burst of discussion from everyone present, Murong Tang has long been famous, and there are few people in the rivers and lakes who don't know it.

Murong Xue ignored the discussion of those people, greeted Wuxin, and walked straight upstairs. After many years of wandering around the rivers and lakes, she seems to have become accustomed to being the focus of attention, and she does not show a trace of uneasiness and panic, but her face is slightly unhappy, probably because she hates the face that men show when they see her.

Since the two of them had been on the road for two days in a row, as soon as they entered the room, Murong Xue climbed into bed and fell asleep, no longer having the spirit of finding happiness with Wuxin, nor asking if Wuxin needed to rest, so he occupied the only bed in the room by himself.

This is the room that Murong Qianhe ordered someone to book in advance half a month ago, probably because he didn't expect that there would be an outsider to accompany his daughter, so he only booked a room. Now there is only this one room, which is still booked, otherwise they don't even have a place to stay.

I didn't feel sleepy, and I didn't want to rest, not to mention that there was no second bed here. He didn't say anything about Murong Xue only booking a room, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with being in the same room with Murong Xue, because he was open in his heart and didn't have a trace of distractions, maybe only people with distracting thoughts would feel that the scene at this time would be inappropriate.

Wuxin stood in front of the window, listening to the sound of Murong Xue Han falling asleep on the bed, and looked at the many people in the hall downstairs through the thin window paper, frowning slightly.

When he came in just now, he felt a faint solemn atmosphere in the air, and thought that this so-called treasure competition was not a fair competition, and the highest price would win, and many of them were young people who came to inquire about the news, remembering that the buyer was waiting for the opportunity to intercept the goods on the buyer's return journey.

Jianghu is originally a place where the jungle eats the strong, and nothing is really fair. Wuxin also noticed some familiar faces, but he was not familiar with them, and he thought that he probably had a relationship in Huashan, because only then did he really appear in the eyes of the Jianghu people.

The night was getting dark, and the people in the hall went back to their rooms to rest, waiting for the start of tomorrow's main event. The inn suddenly stopped being noisy and seemed much quieter.

But in this seemingly quiet inn, there are a few pairs of eyes that are really closed. Probably because of the fear of long nights and dreams, the sellers who participated in the treasure competition would not arrive at the inn until the next day, and it is estimated that no one would have the courage to sit down under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes.

Murong Xue was still asleep, Wuxin had already sat on the stool in the room, gently closed his eyes, began to close his eyes to recuperate, and silently recited the mantra in the "Qin Family Sword Book" left by his father before his death from Tie Xiong, recently his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds and this sword book has an inseparable relationship, he found that this sword book coincided with the moves he had learned, and complemented each other, so whenever he had spare time, he would study the mantras and moves in the knife book to make his martial arts go to the next level.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then I felt a figure flash from the window. Wuxin opened his eyes suddenly, glanced back at the sleeping Murong Xue, opened the door and rushed out.

But when he rushed out of the doorway, he found that there was no sign of anyone, and the corridors and halls were empty and pitch black.

With superhuman eyesight, Wuxin carefully inspected the surroundings, and then quickly chased out in the direction where the figure disappeared. To be honest, he didn't know where the figure was sacred, and he didn't know if it was friend or foe.

He shouldn't have left the sleeping Murong Xue without permission. But he always felt as if he had seen the man's body somewhere, so he followed, but he knew that he couldn't leave for too long, and planned to chase him out to see it and then return quickly.

Just when Wuxin came out of the room, he secretly didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, and the seemingly calm inn didn't seem to be as peaceful as it seemed on the surface......
