Chapter 3: The Woman in Red
"If I hadn't met Brother Yang Cheng last night, I wouldn't have been able to redeem the bracelet this morning. The shopkeeper of the pawnshop, I didn't expect him to be so treacherous, when I was a bracelet, he only gave me ten taels of silver, and when I went to redeem it, the price increased three times, and I was asked for thirty taels of silver!"
Xu Shilianyue drank a glass of wine angrily, but she was choked, coughing and holding back a little face.
"You borrowed money from Yang Cheng?" Dark Nine finally spoke. Yang Cheng is the young master of the dark city and the only son of the city lord.
Unexpectedly, the two of them met yesterday, and it stands to reason that Yang Cheng would also take Xu Shilianyue to the City Lord's Mansion.
"I don't know if it's a loan. Xu Shilianyue said happily, but she was a little annoyed and confused, "Last night, Brother Yang Cheng told me that he had borrowed a hundred taels of silver from me, so he gave me a hundred taels as a return to me." It's just that I can't really remember when I borrowed the money from him. ”
There was a shy look on her face, but Dark Nine understood that nine times out of ten, it was probably an excuse that Yang Cheng wanted to give her money but didn't want Xu Shiyue to pay it back.
He only nodded, looked at Xu Shilianyue's appearance of being about to pour wine again, snatched her wine jug and said, "Drink less wine, the wine in the dark city is strong, and girls can't drink it." ”
"What's there to drink, I think when I was in the Spirit Kingdom, I drank three large jars of wine, and they were all the same as my sisters. Xu Shi Lianyue said proudly, but probably because Dark Jiu's expression was too cold, she peeked at it and then lowered her head and stopped talking.
Finally quiet, Dark Nine looked at Xu Shilianyue, who was as cold as a frosted eggplant, and secretly recognized her in his heart, but he still knew to be obedient.
It's just that after a while, she couldn't help it again, "Can you not be so fierce, I am the master!"
"I'm full, Xiao Er settles the bill!" Dark Nine slapped his chopsticks on the table and got up, he had already taken the sword at this time, and before Xiao Er came over, he had already slapped a piece of silver on the table and walked towards the door.
Xu Shilianyue was startled, picked up the silver distressedly and said, "What are you wasting silver, where do you need so many ......?"
She stared at the table dumbfounded, and she didn't know what Dark Jiu's hand was made of, so she actually slapped a hole in the table with silver, and it was only a little bit close, and it was about to be pierced!
"Girl......" At this time, the shopkeeper had already walked to the table and looked at her, "Please settle the bill." ”
The restaurant is usually mixed, and the shopkeeper's originally stunned expression was immediately indifferent.
"Okay, okay. Xu Shilianyue's fingertips trembled slightly and gently put the silver on the table, but she didn't hold it steady, and with a "clang", she rolled twice on the tabletop and rolled into the hole she had just shot.
"Find your ......"
“...... No need, no need to look for it. Xu Shilian Yue said again and again, and then hurriedly walked out of the restaurant, at this time Dark Jiu had already got on the horse, with the cold mask on his face, and he looked at her condescendingly.
Xu Shilianyue inexplicably felt a chill rise in her heart, Dark Nine blocked her sunlight, and his shadow was so cold that it seeped through.
"Come up. Dark Nine held out his hand to her.
"Where's my horse?" Xu Shilian Yue wondered, but still held his hand and flipped in front of Dark Jiu.
"Nope. Before he finished speaking, he had already galloped away on his horse.
"Where are we going?" Xu Shilianyue remembered the table just now, and her heart still palpitated.
"Send you back to the Kingdom of Spirits. ”
"Hui Ling Guo...... Wait, I didn't ask you to send me back, let's go to Yanguo, let's go now!" Xu Shilianyue hurriedly said, thinking that at the beginning, she didn't just come out to ask the prince's brother for clarification.
When the prince's brother renounced the marriage contract between the two of them, he did not come to the spirit country, but only sent an envoy to pass the word.
He must have something unspeakable, and she wants to ask the prince's brother in person.
"Hmm. Dark Nine responded.
The streets of the Dark City are not small, and this is not the day of the market, and the pedestrians on the streets are evacuated.
A red horse came towards the two of them, and immediately it was a woman in red in a strong suit, but the red horse was as crazy as a headless fly.
Immediately, the woman in red hugged the horse's neck tightly, pulled the horse's mane, and almost threw it off the horse's back.
Pedestrians avoided one after another, and the woman in red looked ahead in horror and shouted in a bursting voice: "Help, help, come quickly!"
Xu Shilianyue looked forward curiously, muttering, "Why don't you ride a horse and run into the street?"
Dark Nine almost ignored this, and rode away from the crazy horse.
"You're going to help!" Xu Shi Lianyue said worriedly while turning her head and pushing her elbow against Dark Nine's chest.
The streets were full of ordinary people, and if anyone could cure the mad horse, if she didn't subdue it, if the woman in red fell off the horse, it would not be fatal, but it would also cause serious injuries.
Dark Nine frowned slightly, but he also handed the reins to Xu Shilianyue and then took off from his horse.
Xu Shilian Yue was stunned, and exclaimed: "Peerless master, this must be a peerless master!"
When she thought that when she was in the Spirit Kingdom, she had only seen those plays that would fly when she danced, but she never thought that Dark Nine would too, could it be that he had also learned to dance before?
I saw the heroic Dark Nine, volleying slightly above the pedestrian's head and flying onto the back of the red horse, holding the panicked woman in red, pulling the reins violently with her hand, the horse's front hooves rose into the air, and obediently settled down.
Dark Nine fell to the ground with the woman in red in his arms.
The woman in red withdrew from Dark Jiu's arms, looked up in shock, and said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." ”
The Dark Nine nodded indifferently, and after handing the reins to the woman in red, he turned around and walked towards Xu Shilianyue.
"Awesome!" Xu Shilian Yue smiled at him happily and proudly.
However, Dark Nine didn't have the joy of saving people at all, and still had a cold wooden face.
"Childe," the woman in red called as she ran in front of Dark Nine, she stared nervously and excitedly at the mask on Dark Nine's face and said, "I'm Han Xiaoxiao who just entered the secret door three days ago, are you the three thousand seniors?"
Dark Nine lowered his eyes and looked at the shy woman in front of him, but he didn't know in his heart, looking at how such a thin and incompetent woman entered the secret door.
"Practice your horsemanship in the future, don't lose face to the secret door. ”
He only left a word, and walked towards Xu Shilianyue.
"Yes, three thousand seniors!" Han Xiaoxiao smiled happily, and watched Dark Nine get on the back of the horse, and then led the red horse away.
Xu Shi Lianyue looked back at the smirking woman and wondered, "What did you just say, why is she so happy?"
"It's just a small thing. ”
"You know?"
"I don't know. ”
Xu Shi Lianyue looked back at Dark Nine suspiciously, there was almost nothing else on his face except for that cold expression, he seemed to be born made of wood.
