Chapter Forty-Eight: The Shield

In a tavern in Shanyang Mansion, Chu Xiu put the red sleeve knife in his hand on the table, ordered a pot of rice wine and a few Beiyan specialties and ate it.

During the retreat in the Mourning Mountain, Chu Xiu had eaten wild fruits and barbecued meat without the slightest taste for several months, and he was almost vomiting after eating.

Wei County is close to the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and it was also regarded as a vassal of the Eastern Qi Dynasty in the past, so the cuisine is similar to the Eastern Qi Dynasty and is more exquisite.

And the cuisine of Beiyan is also like the environment here, rough and atmospheric, very heroic.

Chu Xiu just asked Xiao Er to serve a few Beiyan's specialties, but after a while, Xiao Er brought a large plate of sauced beef, a roast chicken, a sauce elbow and crispy pork and other side dishes, and if you take a closer look, even if it is a side dish with wine, few of them are vegetarian.

Chu Xiu is also a little hungry now, anyway, regardless of the meat and vegetables, it is better than the wild fruit barbecue in Yanbi Mountain.

The amount of food eaten by a martial artist is much larger than that of ordinary people, and martial arts refining is originally a process of refining and refining qi.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chu Xiu swept away the dishes on his table.

Chu Xiu threw down a piece of broken silver, and as soon as he walked out, he saw a sudden commotion on the street, and many people gathered there to watch something.

Chu Xiu stopped and looked forward, and the crowd was watching a man and a woman.

The woman had a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure, although she was young and looked less than a double ten, she had already faintly revealed a hint of flattery.

And the man was dressed as a prince of a family, holding a jade box in his hand, and said with a flattering expression on his face: "Xinyu, this is the black pearl that I specially asked someone to buy from the South China Sea, there are eighteen in total, each of them is extremely round, and the size is almost identical. ”

The woman frowned and said: "Zhang Gongzi, please respect yourself, I have already said, it is impossible for me to be with Zhang Gongzi, you don't have to waste your mind with me, please give this gift to Zhang Gongzi." ”

Chu Xiu's face showed a look of interest: "Courtship in public, this Beiyan's customs are really open enough." ”

The customs of the land of Wei County are similar to those of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, how can things between men and women be done by the words of the matchmaker on the orders of their parents, this kind of courtship on the street, at least Chu Xiu has not seen it in Tongzhou Mansion.

A martial artist beside him who was in his forties and looked like a low-level Jianghu person said with a smile when he heard this: "This little brother is not a native of Shanyang Mansion, right? ”

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I only came to Shanyang Mansion today, why, this girl's family background is very high, and she doesn't look down on that man?"

The martial artist pursed his lips disdainfully and said: "Gao? It's just an ordinary small family, this woman is Lin Xinyu, the daughter of the Lin family in Shanyang Mansion, who is known as the first beauty in Shanyang Mansion by some good deeds, she is not a big family from the Lin family, and its head is only in the blood condensation realm."

The man is Zhang Baichen, the second son of the Zhang family of the Shanyang Mansion family, just a gentleman, and he is not a good person.

But the Zhang family is not without capable people, the eldest son of the Zhang family is calm, he traveled through the rivers and lakes in the early years, and even worshiped under the Bashan Sword Sect, one of the seven sects and eight factions, and practiced in Western Chu and Shu all the year round, and did not go home much.

After Zhang Baichen fell in love with Lin Xinyu, he once sent someone to propose marriage, but the head of the Lin family had the intention to cling to the Zhang family and wanted to agree, but Lin Xinyu desperately refused.

But who would have thought that this Zhang Baichen was obsessed with Lin Xinyu, and in order to curry favor with Lin Xinyu during this period of time, he used a lot of means, and it became a scene in this Shanyang Mansion. ”

Hearing these gossips, Chu Xiu shook his head, just a fool, not interesting.

With the status of the Zhang family in Shanyang Mansion, he either used to be strong or give up, but he was still entangled here, which was simply making people look at jokes, watching his jokes, and watching the jokes of the Zhang family.

There are too many people who can't see themselves clearly, Chu Xiu looked at it for a while, and found that it was not interesting and wanted to leave.

And at this time, Lin Xinyu saw that there were so many people around her, all of them looked lively, and she was also angry and blushing, eager to kill Zhang Baichen, an idiot, on the spot.

Lin Xinyu thinks very highly of herself, and with her appearance, if she wants to marry, she will marry a young handsome man from a big family, not a waste like Zhang Baichen who wants to have no strength and no ability.

Zhang Baitao, the eldest son of the Zhang family, worshiped under the command of the Bashan Sword Sect among the seven sects and eight factions, and I heard that he is still an inner disciple, this kind of identity Lin Xinyu can still be considered, Zhang Baichen is not in her consideration at all

But who would have thought that this Zhang Baichen had always been pestering her, the strength of the Zhang family was stronger than her Lin family, and Lin Xinyu didn't dare to say too much.

During this time, she tried to minimize the time she spent going out, and today Lin Xinyu just wanted to come out and pick out some of her favorite rouge gouache, but she didn't expect to be entangled by this Baichen again.

Seeing that there are more and more people, Zhang Baichen is thick-skinned and can not care about other people's eyes, but Lin Xinyu can't help it, she said angrily: "Zhang Baichen, don't pester me anymore, I already have someone I like!"

Zhang Baichen's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Who is it?"

Lin Xinyu just blurted out angrily under shame just now, but now when Zhang Baichen asked, she was suddenly speechless.

But when she turned her head, she subconsciously saw the figure of Chu Xiu who was about to leave, and hurriedly pointed at Chu Xiu and said, "It's him!"

Lin Xinyu's choice of Chu Xiu in a hurry was actually very simple, and among the people present, only Chu Xiu was the most eye-catching.

At this time, although Chu Xiu did not show the cultivation of the innate realm, his momentum was as sharp as a blade, which was very eye-catching.

And in terms of appearance, Chu Xiu is not only a little darker in temperament, but his appearance is still very handsome.

Compared with those low-level Jianghu people who are dirty and dirty, with a vicissitudes of life, Chu Xiu, who is dressed in a neat and slender black samurai uniform and a long knife at the waist and hips, can he be called a handsome man in the rivers and lakes, if he doesn't choose him, can he still choose the guy in his forties next to Chu Xiu, with yellow teeth and a broken gossip mouth? In that case, even if Zhang Baichen is an idiot, he knows that Lin Xinyu is playing him.

Everyone present turned their eyes to Chu Xiu, and the middle-aged Jianghu man beside him showed a lewd smile, and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't pay attention to this, obviously you have a leg with the first beauty of my Shanyang Mansion, and you still pretend to be a stranger and dare not admit it?"

Lin Xinyu came over with a fragrant style, Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "We know each other?"

Lin Xinyu made a pitiful expression and said in a low voice: "Childe, if you do me this favor, I will keep it in my heart." ”

Saying that, Lin Xinyu directly grabbed Chu Xiu's arm and said to Zhang Baichen: "Zhang Gongzi, I already have someone I like, please don't come to pester me in the future, you don't want reputation, I still want it, and the Lin family also wants it." ”

At this time, Zhang Baichen's expression was already extremely gloomy.

His pursuit of Lin Xinyu is known to the entire Shanyang Mansion, and the children of the family who have a good relationship with his Zhang family in Shanyang Mansion also give him this face, no one robs him, and it is not worth it to have a bad relationship with the Zhang family for a woman.

But who would have thought that now he was being topped by an outsider.

As soon as Zhang Baichen wanted to scold angrily, he saw Chu Xiu suddenly pull his arm out of Lin Xinyu's hand, and with a crisp sound, he directly slapped Lin Xinyu to the side.

Everyone present was stunned, no one expected Chu Xiu to suddenly come to such a hand, and even Zhang Baichen's angry scolding was forced to hold back, Lin Xinyu also covered his face, sat on the ground, and looked at Chu Xiu in disbelief.

Shaking his hand, Chu Xiu said lightly: "I usually don't beat women, but for a femme fatale like you, I won't keep my hand."

You are impatient with the harassment of the idiot and use me as a shield, the Zhang family is the head snake of Shanyang Mansion, after you use me as a shield, it is I who is retaliated by the Zhang family!

When the time comes, you can stay out of the matter, I provoke a big enemy for no reason, and who will care?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed a strange look, this young man is really calm and terrifying, if it is replaced by someone else, the beauty is on the side, softly begging, where can I think of so much? I am afraid that he would have stepped forward a long time ago and willingly went to be Lin Xinyu's shield.

Of course, this result is also conceivable, it must be hated by that Zhang Baichen, and then retaliated by the people of the Zhang family.

Unless your background is amazing, what will an outsider do to fight with Zhang Jia, the head snake of Shanyang Mansion?

Thinking of this, everyone's gaze at Lin Xinyu also changed slightly.

This woman looks harmless to humans and animals, but her heart is very hard.

Regardless of whether her previous actions were intentional or unintentional, anyway, she almost tricked an innocent person to offend the Zhang family, the head snake of Shanyang Mansion.

It is said that women are red-faced and troublesome, and now it looks like this is true.
