Due to the large number of pedestrians on the main street, Tang Zhan, Lu Jing, Zhao Zichuan and Xiao Tian walked slowly on the street. And because it was almost noon, the weather was gradually getting hotter, and it was difficult to dissipate heat due to the large number of people, and the whole street was hit by a rolling heat wave from time to time......

"It seems to be hotter than in the morning......" Tang Zhan walked while wiping a drop of sweat that occasionally appeared on his head.

"I said Sister Jing......" Zhao Zichuan suddenly spoke, "Are you really sure where you are going?"

Lu Jing didn't have her usual smile under such a hot sun, so she pouted and said, "I'm just guessing, the kendo conference is coming, and I think there will definitely be many martial arts people coming here...... If that's the case, they will definitely go to the most famous restaurant in Bianliang City, 'Caiyun Restaurant', for a 'big party', and I want to go there to see ......."

"I've been doing it for a long time, Sister Jing, you have made a special trip to see the lively ...... today," Zhao Zichuan said with some disappointment, "It's still some distance from Caiyun Restaurant, I really don't want to go." ”

Xiao Tian also felt that it was not interesting, so he said, "Why don't we go back and watch Jia'er play chess?"

"No!" Lu Jing seemed to think of something, and suddenly shouted too excitedly, and then saw Xiao Tian, slowly slowed down and said, "That'...... That one...... Sister Su must not want us to disturb her, so she asked us to come out...... I think, let's not go back, maybe Sister Su is playing chess anxiously now!"

Lu Jing's tone obviously had some concealment in it, but Xiao Tiantian was naturally slow to react, so he didn't hear anything wrong with Lu Jing's words.

Lu Jing thought for a while, and then comforted everyone: "Okay, okay, look at the complaints of you big men...... After a while, I will invite you to drink at the Caiyun Restaurant, this will be fine, right?"

"Okay, just wait for your words!" Hearing this, Zhao Zichuan immediately changed his expression and said, "Then I want to ...... a little more in Caiyun Restaurant today" Zhao Zichuan saw that the opportunity for "revenge" came, so he never let go of the opportunity to "go under the knife" on Lu Jing.

Lu Jing looked at Zhao Zichuan's deliberately scoundrel appearance, and laughed repeatedly, but secretly said in her heart: "Damn Zhao Zichuan, you wait for me to see......"

"It's Sister Jing, you said ......" Xiao Tian suddenly spoke again, "Didn't you say that there are a lot of martial arts masters here......?"

Lu Jing listened and replied: "Martial arts masters are very low-key, and they won't use martial arts casually in front of everyone, isn't that what Sister Su is...... Besides, many martial arts celebrities are very status, do you think they can casually ride horses, hold swords, and then swagger in front of you?"

Xiao Tian stared straight ahead with his eyes, as if he didn't pay too much attention to Lu Jing's words. Lu Jing saw that Xiao Tian didn't react, so she asked again, "Brother Xiao, did you hear what I said?"

But Xiao Tian still stared straight ahead, as if he was attracted by something in front of him. And not only Xiao Tian, Tang Zhan and Zhao Zichuan also seemed to be attracted by something in front of them.

"Hey, what are you three big men looking at?" Seeing Tang Zhan and them all in a daze, Lu Jing couldn't help but speak, and then turned his head to look ahead......

Unexpectedly, just after Lu Jing finished speaking, in front of the main street...... A woman in red riding a red horse and a sword at her waist appeared, and she was seen carrying a leather whip, as if she was rushing for something, all the way over. When the pedestrians on the street saw it, they all avoided it. The speed of the red horse was very fast, and it seemed that the woman in red seemed to be in a hurry, but fortunately, the red horse did not hit the pedestrians on the road......

"Sister Jing, you said no, there is really ......" Zhao Zichuan stared at it. The woman in red has clear eyebrows, and her eyebrows reveal a trace of pungent character; her long hair is coiled up at one end, the hosta hangs on her head, the long sword hangs on her body, and the leather whip shakes hands; her hands are slightly curved, with a woman's demeanor; and she pulls a whip on a horizontal horse, exuding the proud god of a woman who does not admit defeat. The woman in red rode her horse and whipped her whip and was speeding towards Tang Zhan and the others in front of them......

"Wow, no, that horse is speeding towards us......" Xiao Tian couldn't help but shout when he saw it.

"Jing'er, let's get out of the way!" Seeing that the woman in red was similar to a "rampage", Tang Zhan was also worried on the side.

Lu Jing nodded, and then followed Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian to the side of the street...... However, Zhao Zichuan didn't seem to have any intention of hiding, he still stood calmly in the middle of the street.

"Danger!" Tang Zhan couldn't help but shout.

"That stupid ......," Lu Jing also said secretly.

The woman in red was riding a jujube red horse, getting closer and closer to Zhao Zichuan...... Zhao Zichuan stood still in the middle of the street, his eyes kept looking at the woman in red in front of him......

"Huh-" The woman in red saw Zhao Zichuan, who had not moved in front, and quickly stopped her horse. The woman in red seemed to be in a hurry, and asked anxiously, "Hey, who are you, weishenme standing in my way?"

Zhao Zichuan saw that although the woman in red looked like a peugeot, her personality was extremely spicy, almost surpassing Lu Jing. Zhao Zichuan still said with an unchanged face: "Girl, if you ride a horse on a crowded street like this, you will hit people." ”

"Do you want to take care of it?" said the woman in red unceremoniously, "I have something urgent, hurry up and get out of the way!"

"You are a girl, why are you rude?" Zhao Zichuan asked when he saw that the woman in red was disrespectful.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, I'm really in a hurry!" The woman in red still said anxiously, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll step over you!" The woman in red spoke very politely, but judging from her anxious performance, she might really have something urgent.

"No matter how urgent you are, you can't be rude with words and deeds......" Zhao Zichuan didn't seem to have the intention of getting out of the way, "If you don't daoqian today, I won't give way." ”

The woman in red frowned, held her breath, and raised her right hand. "Driving-" The sound of horses' hooves sounded - it seemed that she did what she said, and she really dared to ride a horse and straddle directly over Zhao Zichuan. I saw that the dust under the horse's hooves rose together, and the jujube red horse came directly to Zhao Zichuan.

Zhao Zichuan stood still, his eyes were fixed, his hands gathered his energy, formed a palm shape, and his palms were together, and he pressed on the neck of the jujube red horse. "Huh-" Zao Hongma let out a hissing cry, Zhao Zichuan's heel was certain, and Zao Hongma was stopped by Zhao Zichuan in an instant. On the other hand, the woman in red on the horse, because this time was too sudden, although the horse stopped, but the whole person left the horse's back due to inertia and flew forward.

But the woman in red didn't seem to be nervous at all, and saw her perform a few light strokes in the air, and then landed steadily. Zhao Zichuan let go of his hands, looked back, and saw a leather whip from the woman in red brushing towards Zhao Zichuan's face. Zhao Zichuan didn't see it clearly, and subconsciously stretched out his left arm and raised it, but the leather whip was buckled on Zhao Zichuan's left wrist, and a little blood streaked on it - it seems that the woman in red is quite ruthless.

Zhao Zichuan was angry, feeling that the woman in red not only spoke disrespectfully, but also hurt herself without asking. So, Zhao Zichuan just wanted to step forward and confront the woman in red, but suddenly, the woman in red's expression changed, immediately withdrew the whip, turned around and hid around a corner.

Zhao Zichuan hadn't figured out what was going on, but he heard Lu Jing behind him shouting in a low voice: "Brother Zichuan, leave that jujube red horse quickly......"

Hearing that it was Lu Jing's voice, Zhao Zichuan didn't think about it, and took a few steps in the direction where the woman in red had fled just now, which could be regarded as some distance from the jujube red horse...... Zhao Zichuan was puzzled and looked back......

I saw several women wearing the same clothes, carrying swords and walking towards the red horse, judging by their dresses, they should be from the same disciples. Zhao Zichuan saw that something was wrong, and immediately hid around the corner where the woman in red was hiding. The woman in red saw that Zhao Zichuan also hid beside her, so she made a "shhhhh Looking at this, Zhao Zichuan decided that the woman in red was indeed in a hurry and was being chased, and the obstruction just now seemed to mean that he was sorry for others......

"Emei faction ......," Lu Jing couldn't help but whisper.

"What?" After Tang Zhan heard this, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Jing'er, you said that they are disciples of the Emei faction?"

"That's right, they seem to be chasing the woman in red just now......" Lu Jing said again.

"But what if the disciple of the Emei faction, Weishenme, will chase her?" Xiao Tian couldn't help but ask.

"Unless ......" Lu Jing said with a certain look, "The woman in red is Yangzhou's 'Hibiscus Woman' - Li Yuru ......"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian were taken aback......

I saw these Emei disciples circling around the jujube red horse, and one of the disciples said, "It's strange, I saw her just now...... Why do you only see horses and no people now?"

Another disciple asked, "Senior Sister Hualing, do you think it could be that Li Yuru that slut is playing some tricks again?"

It turned out that the leading Emei disciple was Hua Ling, the most proud protégé of Master Aojing. I only heard Hua Ling say: "I don't know, but it's ...... Since she left the jujube red horse here, we haven't found nothing. Master warned us that when we found Li Yuru, we should not act without permission, and we must tell Master first. Let's take this jujube horse back first, maybe the master can know something, and besides, this jujube red horse is very important to Li Yuru, it is impossible for her not to ask for it, but maybe she will take the bait herself......"

"She must have not gone far before she rode a jujube red horse, so why don't we ask a passer-by?" another disciple said.

"It's okay......" Hua Ling said, "Since we have found Zao Hongma, then we don't need to rush to find Li Yuru......" Then, she ordered her junior sisters to go to the two places on the street to inquire about the situation.

"What should we do?" Xiao Tian said with some worry when he saw that the Emei disciple was starting to ask people.

"Let's leave first...... Lu Jing said decisively, "On this street, we'd better not get involved with martial arts people, especially a big sect like the Emei faction......"

"Then where are we going now...... Tang Zhan asked again, "Brother Zichuan is also hiding, not by our side, what should he do if we leave, can't he leave him here alone?"

"Brother Zichuan is not stupid, he won't be in a hurry to ......make peace with us now," Lu Jing said, "Let's go to Caiyun Restaurant first, after we don't see each other, he must know where we went, and he will naturally make peace with us when the time comes......"

So, Tang Zhan and Xiao Tian also nodded, and then followed Lu Jing and quietly left the street......

On Zhao Zichuan's side, he was hiding with the woman in red.

"It turns out that girl, you are Yangzhou 'Hibiscus Woman' Li Yuru!" Zhao Zichuan listened to the introduction of the woman in red, and couldn't help but say, "I really didn't expect to see you here." ”

As Lu Jing expected, the woman in red was Li Yuru. I saw Li Yuru anxiously said: "I originally wanted to get rid of them, but unfortunately I encountered you idiot blocking the way...... Now, my jujube red horse is in their hands. That jujube red horse is very important to me, but the Emei faction's Aojing Master hates me so much that it's not easy to do now......"

Zhao Zichuan listened, but said disapprerovitically: "Hmph, you still have to xiexie me ......"

"Xiexie?" Li Yuru was puzzled and angry when she heard this, "You have caused me so much trouble, and I will return you?"

Zhao Zichuan continued to calm down: "The reason why you are always hunted down by the disciples of the Emei faction is because your jujube red horse is too conspicuous. Now that the people and horses are separated, at least you are safe for the time being, and that jujube red horse is very important to you, and those disciples of the Emei Sect will definitely use it as bait and will not kill it easily......"

"Do you want them to take my jujube red horse away like this?" Li Yuru still said unwillingly.

"As far as I know, the Emei faction's resting place in the kendo tournament is in the mountains on the outskirts of Bianliang City. They are so tired of chasing you today, and they want to feed your jujube red horse, they will definitely not be able to get out of Bianliang City today......" Zhao Zichuan said confidently, "The earth is dead, and people are alive, as long as you follow them later and see which inn they stay in, you will definitely be able to find a way to get your jujube red horse back!"

"You...... Is there really a way?" Li Yuru saw that Zhao Zichuan was so confident, but he was a stranger, and he was still skeptical.

Zhao Zichuan said calmly: "This incident was provoked by me Zhao Zichuan, and I will help Miss Li make up for it...... Don't worry, I'll definitely be able to find a way to help you get the jujube red horse back!"

Zhao Zichuan's words were so firm that Li Yuru suddenly had an inexplicable trust in Zhao Zichuan......

Suddenly, Zhao Zichuan seemed to have thought of something again, so he asked Li Yuru again: "By the way, Miss Li, since you have an inextricable grudge with the Emei faction, weishenme, will you still come to Bianliang to observe the kendo conference?"

When Li Yuru heard this, her eyes lowered, and she seemed to have a faint sadness. Then, Li Yuru said slowly: "I came this time to settle this grievance...... When I heard that Master Aojing of the Emei faction was coming, I thought that I would never be able to hide from it anyway, so why not be brave enough to face it? Master Aojing killed my parents, so I naturally hated her, but it was my mother who violated the rules of the teacher first, so I have been trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong...... But Master Aojing is so angry that he wants to put me to death, and I can't escape it. I followed the advice of the beggar gang leader Ge Weige's seniors, and still mustered up the courage to come to this Bianliang City, and then find out the origin of all this......"

"Do you still know Ge Weige's senior?" Zhao Zichuan couldn't help but ask, "The leader of the beggar gang, Ge Wei, is one of the Seven Heroes of the Martial Arts today, and he would advise you to do such a dangerous thing?"

Li Yuru still replied calmly: "Because Senior Ge said that his friend Xue Feijian Xue Senior also came to Bianliang City, and there are many beggar disciples in the city...... Master Aojing is too arrogant and strong in martial arts, if I rush forward, there will definitely be danger. If Senior Xue can help me, I will definitely be much more stable. ”

Thinking of Li Yuru's situation and his recklessness just now, Zhao Zichuan still bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Li, because I was too reckless just now, I hurt you......"

"It's okay, I can see that you are a good person, I don't blame you......" Li Yuru retracted the pungency just now at this time, and then said calmly, "Then again, you really ...... Are you a descendant of the Zhao family?"

"Yes, I am the third among my brothers," Zhao Zichuan said, "Speaking ......of ancestors, our Zhao family and your Li family are related......

"Oh?" Li Yuru couldn't help but wonder.

Zhao Zichuan continued: "Our Zhao family is a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and Miss Li, your ancestor is Li Tingzhi, a famous anti-Yuan general of the Song Dynasty...... When the Mongols attacked Xiangyang City, my ancestor Zhao Fan and your ancestor Li Tingzhi led the land and water armies together, which terrified the Mongol Tatars...... Although Xiangyang is not guaranteed, the spirit of the ancestors still exists!" As he spoke, Zhao Zichuan untied the two swords hanging on his body and pulled the two swords out of their scabbards slightly.

"It's ...... Qiankun Two Swords?" Li Yuru couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the golden and turquoise sword bodies of the two swords.

"That's right!" Zhao Zichuan withdrew his twin swords, and then said, "One day, I will also go to the battlefield, fight bravely, and drive the Mongolian Tartars out of my Central Plains!" Zhao Zichuan's voice was small, but it was excited.

"It seems that our ancestors did have a ......fate," Li Yuru muttered. After listening to Zhao Zichuan's bold words, Li Yuru suddenly felt that Zhao Zichuan was a person with the world in mind and the heart of the people...... Suddenly, Li Yuru looked over and found that the Emei disciples who were still on the street just now were gone—it seemed that they didn't ask why, and went back with Li Yuru's jujube red horse.

"They seem to be ......gone," Li Yuru whispered.

When Zhao Zichuan heard this, he also poked his head out to look, and found that the Emei disciple was indeed gone, so he also said, "Really...... However, Sister Jing and Brother Tang also seem to be gone. ”

"You mean those friends of yours?" Li Yuru replied, "where will they go?"

Zhao Zichuan thought for a while and said, "They must be afraid of being involved by the Emei faction, so they went to Caiyun Restaurant in advance...... Help Miss Li solve your problem, you may wait until the evening...... Forget it, I'm unlucky today, I can only be separated from them......"

"Damn, they really took my jujube red horse away......" Li Yuru said with some anger, "I really don't know where they will take my jujube red horse?"

Zhao Zichuan smiled on the side, and then said, "They must have gone to the inn and were going to rest for the night...... The only inn in the center of Bianliang City that can raise horses is the 'Hongxing Inn'. Don't worry, I know where that inn is......"

Hearing Zhao Zichuan say this, Li Yuru was temporarily relieved......

Zhao Zichuan felt that he couldn't stand Li Yuru today, so he said to Li Yuru: "It's still early, why don't we go to the vicinity of the 'Hongxing Inn' where they live first, and I invite Miss Li to drink a few cups ......of tea to represent my apologies to Miss Li."

"Okay, let me tell you, I'm not a good Yangzhou 'Hibiscus Woman'......" Li Yuru regained her pungent personality and said, "You caused trouble for this girl today, this girl won't let you go today, I must slaughter you well......" Saying, Li Yuru smiled at Zhao Zichuan.

"Just follow Miss Li......" Zhao Zichuan also said with a smile. Looking at Li Yuru's pungent personality, Zhao Zichuan seemed to have an inexplicable emotion for Li Yuru......
