Jiangnan water town, Pinghu area. www.biquge.info It was late autumn, and the smoke and rain were hazy and the rain was murmuring, and it stretched for three whole months, immersed in a gloomy atmosphere, covered with a thick layer of fog.

Liuzhen, a simple and elegant antique town outside Pinghu City. Located on the willow embankment on the shore of the water, hidden in the hazy rain, the charm is elegant, the smoke willow is vast, and the beauty is picturesque.

People from all over the world gathered in an inn in this small town. This inn is also the only inn in the town.

The inn has no name, but it is the most famous place within a hundred miles, there is wine, but not a restaurant, there is gambling, but not a casino, there are women, they can accompany you to do anything, but it is not a brothel.

Most of them came to admire the dancing girl Yue Mengxian's outstanding dancing skills, piano rhythm and moving beauty.

The hall was brightly lit and filled with sixteen tables, all of which were full. Everyone drank wine, enjoyed gorgeous songs and dances, and talked about the big talk, and they talked about all the interesting stories on the rivers and lakes.

When you come here, no one asks you for your identity, as long as you pay a certain amount of silver taels, you can sit at any table in the hall and enjoy delicious food, enjoy the gorgeous and moving wonderful dances, and do what you like to do at will.

With the sound of a song of elegant silk and bamboo, the dancing girls were fluttering, and everyone drank wine and enjoyed the gorgeous dancing.

Outside the door, it was pouring rain, as if telling the unique feelings of smoke and rain. In the hall, the singing and dancing leveled out, unaffected by the rain.

A young figure dressed in pitch black, his hair was black and straight, his sword eyebrows were straight, his sharp eyes, thin lips, sharp edges and corners, with his slender body, like a sharp sword that could be unsheathed at any time, cold and arrogant, exuding a murderous aura, and slowly walked into this inn.

His name is Liu Chen, and he is coming from the snowy region. What attracted attention was the pitch-black clothes, the pitch-black eyes, and the pitch-black knife, which could only be distinguished by the white hands.

After entering the hall and handing over the silver taels, he found a corner and sat down, holding a pitch-black knife in one hand and eating somen noodles slowly in the other.

It seemed that everything in the hall had nothing to do with him, and all he had in his eyes was the black knife in his white hand.

Similarly, there was a middle-aged man in the corner of the hall, and it seemed that none of this had anything to do with him. Next to him were two crutches, all bright red as blood, and he was sitting alone in a wheelchair playing dominoes. The guests who came in and out, he never even raised his head. And he is the owner of this inn.

Such a strange inn usually has some strange guests and a strange host.

In the hall, it was originally a gorgeous song and dance enjoyed by the guests, with the entry of Liu Chen, the rhyme of the piano behind the curtain changed, and a poignant and beautiful melody sounded: "Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian." There are double carps, playing with each other in the blue waves. Fish play lotus leaf east, fish play lotus leaf south. Who's daughter in the depths of the lotus leaves, laughing and throwing a lotus across the water...... Mo Yan picks lotus alone, the west wind blows the incense in the lotus pond, and the dream of a guest is like cold water overnight. ”

"What a~ Mom is unlucky! Young Master Ben enjoys this gorgeous song and dance so decently, but he wants to die like this, and he doesn't let people appreciate it?"

"Young Master Ben is here to have fun, what do you mean? Let your boss come out, dare to ruin my Ouyang Tassel's interest!"

"I said, why is the small building so full of golden light today, it turns out that Young Master Ouyang has arrived, which makes the humble house below shine. It's just that Xiaolou is cold, there is no good food and wine to entertain, and I invite Young Master Ouyang Haihan!" Just after this young man in a fancy costume revealed his identity, the middle-aged man sitting in the corner playing dominoes slid over in a wheelchair and said with a smile.

Jiang Jinyu glanced at Liu Chen, who was holding a black knife in one hand and eating noodles in the other, and suddenly smiled: "Forget it, I heard that the leader of the Yunhu Gang will be out of the customs tomorrow, and the young master will be happy today, so I won't worry about you." ”

"Then thank you Young Master Ouyang for your generosity, and I wish you all a good time. The middle-aged man finished with a smile, slid his wheelchair to the corner, and continued to push the dominoes.

Everyone thought that there was a good show to watch, but they didn't expect that the young master of the Ouyang family turned out to be a straw bag with a lot of thunder and rain. He shook his head and continued to drink and eat food, intoxicated by the gorgeous song and dance.

At this moment, because of what happened just now, a dancing girl came over, sat beside Jiang Jinyu, and helped him bring a glass of wine, which was regarded as an apology.

Yue Mengxian, a dancer who deliberately played "Lotus Picking" behind the curtain, also came to Liu Chen's side in shock.

Ever since the boy came in, she had noticed the murderous aura in his eyes, ignoring everything in the hall. She had hoped to get his attention with the song "Lotus Picking", but she failed, and for the first time in her life, a man was not interested in her.

"My name is Yue Mengxian. This son, he should have only come here today, right?" Yue Mengxian sat beside Liu Chen and said with a smile.

She smiled, thinking that she would not be worse than Yun Mengyan, the first beauty in the rivers and lakes, and the men in the world would definitely fall in love with her.

Just what she said, the black-clothed young man in front of her didn't even bother to look at her, which made her taste failure for the first time in her life.

Liu Chen continued to eat the noodles slowly, without even raising his head, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time: "Yes!"

Yue Mengxian looked at him and ate noodles for a while, a little unrelenting, revealing the delicate and gentle side of a woman, and said with a smile: "Childe, isn't it because the little woman is ugly? You don't even bother to look at me." ”

Liu Chen was still eating plain noodles, his dark eyes were unchanged, staring at the black knife in his hand tightly, staring at him for a while before he said, "You are beautiful!"

He spoke, as if every word he said had to be carefully thought out before he spoke, for fear of saying the wrong thing that he was not responsible for.

"Thank you for your appreciation. I would like to ask, what is the name of Childe?" Yue Mengxian smiled.

"Liu Chen!"

Hearing this, Jiang Jinyu, who had already watched all this on the table next to him, walked over with a wine jug in a dashing manner: "The dream fairy girl is really the best in the world, no wonder there are so many people gathered in this inn, I wonder if I can invite Ouyang Tassel to drink together today?"

"Young Master Ouyang is polite, since you have entered here, you are a guest, and the little woman should accompany her. Yue Mengxian smiled.

After the two smiled and drank a glass of wine, Jiang Jinyu sat down casually, smiled, looked at the willow dust eating noodles, his eyes moved, and he muttered for a while before he said: "On the bank of the smoke and rain, on the willow bank, look at the water and clouds, and the willow leaves are dancing." Liu Chen, the word Liu implies the charm of the south of the Yangtze River, taking a dust as an ancient, slightly vulgar, however, the customs are elegant, called Liu Chen, it is also funny, a good name!

"How do you know?"

Stunned, Liu Chen's eyes stared at the black knife in his hand, and as he raised his face, a trace of pitch-black light appeared, faintly with a murderous intent.

"I can tell that the fur next to the soles of the boots is a mink unique to the snowy region, and Jiangnan is a rare commodity that will not be used to make boots. ”

Sensing that Liu Chen's momentum had reined, Jiang Jinyu smiled, threw one foot on the stool, poured two more glasses of wine, and handed them to the two of them respectively: "Come, have a drink together!"

"I don't drink!" With his head down, Liu Chen continued to eat somen slowly, as if he was going to eat it for a long time.

"I have a treat with Ouyang tassels, so there is no reason not to drink it!" Jiang Jinyu smiled: "Come, have a drink, wine is a good thing." How can we be happy when we are accompanied by beautiful women here? Not to mention that there is no wine, how can we still be interested? As the saying goes, 'the smoke and rain turn into a dream fairy dance, and a glass of turbid wine fills the throat', wouldn't it be happy to have a cup of belly?"

"I don't drink!" Continuing to eat somen noodles, Liu Chen ignored it at all, his eyes were always fixed on the black knife in his hand.

Hearing this, Yue Mengxian on the side heard this, and a slight smile appeared on his face, this Young Master Ouyang can also be regarded as a wonderful person. It's just that this willow dust is completely different, it's like a piece of wood, and I don't understand the style.

"It's okay, then you invite me to drink!" Looking at Liu Chen who didn't understand the mood, Jiang Jinyu smiled heartily.

"No, please!"

Jiang Jinyu laughed and said: "You are really interesting, to be honest, except for you, even if others kneel down and beg me, I will not drink a drop of his wine." ”

He spoke in a voice that seemed to be out of his mind, and he thought everyone in it was deaf, and it was difficult for others not to hear him. However, as long as you hear his words, it is difficult not to get angry.

At this time, several people in the hall had already stood up, and the fastest movement was a young man in a long shirt and a sword, he was dressed in a gorgeous costume, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and a sword spike on the sword.

He had a full glass of wine in his hand, turned around in a moment, and was already in front of Jiang Jinyu. The glass full of wine in his hand didn't even spill a drop.

Obviously, in addition to being dressed brightly and gorgeously, this person is also very particular about dressing up, and he is also very particular about practicing martial arts.

It's a pity that Jiang Jinyu didn't see it, and Liu Chen didn't see it either.

The young man in the long shirt had a smile on his face that he thought was very dashing, because he knew that everyone in the hall was watching him.

Gently patting Jiang Jinyu's shoulder, the young man in the long shirt smiled: "Yes, Young Master Ouyang, then I'll invite you to drink, okay?"

Jiang Jinyu said: "It's not good. ”

Hearing this, the young man in the long shirt laughed, and the people around him also laughed.

"Even if you kneel down and ask me, I still won't drink. Jiang Jinyu was also laughing, smiling and shaking her head.

The young man in the long shirt moved his eyes and kept smiling: "Then do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Stretching, Jiang Jinyu curled up his leg on the stool, and said indifferently: "I don't know, I don't even know if you are a human being." ”

Hearing this, the young man in the long shirt kept a smiling face, which instantly froze, gloomy and terrifying, and his hand was already holding the hilt of the saber at his waist.

Syllable!

With a clear sound, the sword was unsheathed.

It's just that the sword he holds in his hand is only the hilt, and the blade is still in the scabbard.

Just now, his sword was pulled out, and Jiang Jinyu flicked his fingers without leaving a trace, and the sword in his hand broke off an inch below the entrance of the hilt.

So, as soon as the hilt of his sword was raised, the blade of the sword slipped into the scabbard before it could be unsheathed.

Looking at the hilt of the sword in his hand, the young man in the long shirt instantly turned as white as paper, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

No one in the hall laughed, not only could they not laugh, but even their breathing became cramped, except for the rustling of rain outside the door.

Except for the rustling of rain outside the door, there was only one sound left in the hall, the sound of pushing dominoes in the corner, and what had just happened, as if he was the only one who didn't see it.

Liu Chen on the side, although he saw it, his face was still expressionless.

"You see, I didn't lie to you. Jiang Jinyu looked at the young man in the long shirt and said kindly.

Immediately, he turned to Liu Chen and said, "I said do you want to invite you?"

"I'm still not invited. Liu Chen shook his head slowly and said.

After speaking, he stood up and turned around, no longer wanting to discuss this matter, as if he felt that Jiang Jinyu was sick, and everyone here was sick.

However, after taking two steps slowly, he glanced back at the young man in the long robe, and said slowly: "I think you should use the money from the clothes to buy a good sword." However, it is better not to wear a saber from now on, after all, it is really dangerous to use a saber as a decoration. ”

He spoke slowly, his dark eyes motionless and sincere, as if an elder was admonishing a junior.

But in the ears of the young man in the long robe, it was like an ant devouring his heart, or like a fly suddenly eating in his mouth when he was eating delicious food.

He looked at Liu Chen, his miserable white face had already turned from white to blue, from blue to purple, and finally slowly became black.

Clenched his fists, the young man in the long shirt looked unwilling, angry and disappointed in his heart, he originally hoped that this person who dared to call Ouyang Tassel would pull Liu Chen back.

This guy's martial arts are so terrible, it's okay to let yourself eat and hold back for the time being, but this hairy boy, a nobody, dares to learn to pretend to be deep, it's just looking for death.

The young man in the long shirt glanced at his fellow tablemates, and a few of them slowly stood up, about to chase after them.

At this moment, a very strange voice suddenly sounded in the hall: "This person doesn't want to invite you to drink, I wonder if I want to invite you to drink?"

The voice was deep and slow, resounding through the hall, and everyone could hear it clearly. It's as if the person who speaks is in his ear, but he can't see it.

In the end, they finally found that it was a middle-aged man in neat clothes, who had turned his head and was looking at Jiang Jinyu and smiling.

Jiang Jinyu also smiled and said, "It's very casual for me to invite people to drink, but there are two kinds of drinks that others invite me to drink, one is the wine invited by friends, and the other is the wine that I see as pleasing to your eyes, and you invite me to drink." ”

The middle-aged man kept smiling: "Then do you think I am pleasing to the eye? But your rules are very interesting." ”

Jiang Jinyu tilted his head and said, "It's interesting, but forget it." Taking advantage of the joy of Young Master Ben today, I invite everyone here to drink. ”

He spoke as if he were the boss here.

The young man in the long shirt who had just eaten deflated, his eyes dodged, and he was about to chase him out if he was unwilling.

Jiang Jinyu, who tilted his head, turned around and said unhurriedly: "It's just that when I invite someone to drink, no one can drink it, and it won't work if it's not drunk!"

After walking a few steps, the young man in the long shirt heard this, his chest rose and fell slightly, and he suddenly turned back and said, "You...... It's hard to invite someone to drink and force others to drink, but you've already chartered the venue, do you still have the money?"

"Silver?" Jiang Jinyu smiled: "Do you think I look like a person without silver?"

The young man in the long shirt smiled: "It's true." ”

Jiang Jinyu didn't deny it, and said indifferently: "Okay, you guessed right this time, but there was no reward." However, the good news is that you don't have to use silver to buy wine, you can also use leaves. ”

When the young man in the long shirt heard this, he was stunned, and said for a long time: "Leaves, what leaves?"

Jiang Jinyu said: "It's this kind of willow leaf." ”

His hand shook, and suddenly there was a woman's purse, and the willow-like leaves in the purse floated out, and what was scattered was a piece of gold leaf.

The young man in the long shirt looked at the gold leaves floating on the ground, and was stunned for a long time before he raised his head and smiled reluctantly: "It's just that I still don't understand something?"

The young man in the long shirt said puzzledly: "Since you don't want others to invite you to drink, why do you want to invite others to drink, what's the difference?"

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Jinyu walked up to him, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "If a dog wants to ask you to gnaw on a bone, will you gnaw it?"

After a pause, the young man in the long shirt changed color and said, "Of course I don't gnaw." ”

Leaning back, Jiang Jinyu smiled and said, "I don't gnaw either, it's just that I often throw bones to feed the dogs." ”

"You?" The young man in the long shirt was about to make a move inadvertently, but he thought of Jiang Jinyu's horror, and his face was the color of pig liver, so he had to grit his teeth and hate, so he gave up.
