Sword of Coming

After the sun fell into the Western Mountains, the twilight became darker. With the last remaining rays of nostalgia for the world, I chased the man in green shirt with the little cripple. He stopped and looked towards the end of the road to the south. The little cripple took the opportunity to hit him on the shoulder. With one punch, the down-and-out scholar was shaken and ignored. The little lame man was a little curious. He followed the scholar's gaze and looked into the distance together. He found nothing, thinking that the scholar was deliberately interrupting. The little lame man was about to continue to use the old punch to make him I will never dare to tease the boss lady again.

The young man suddenly felt his heart shake. He lay on the ground with his ears to the ground and his face solemn. They were a cavalry army, and their number was quite large. Except for the postmen who passed by occasionally, no large group of cavalry had ever shown up in Hu'er Town. Young people, in order to admire the style of the Yao family's cavalry, often go to the distant Guajia Army Town together, so that they have the opportunity to take a look at it from a distance.

Iron armor, war horses, light crossbows, and war knives, all of these are the most manly objects in the world in the eyes of the poor family members in Hu'er Town.

The little cripple is no exception, but his peers in Hu'er Town don't like to take him to play with him.

At this time, the little cripple left the green-shirted guest aside and went to the lobby to inform the landlady. The woman yawned and just said that she understood. These military men must not look down on their own inn and Hu'er Town. Most of them marched overnight. Don't worry about the Guajiajun Town to the north.

The little cripple yelled, immediately ran out of the inn, climbed up to the roof of the inn, put his hand between his eyebrows, and looked into the distance. While it was still dark, he could barely see anything. He wanted to see the frontier cavalry up close. Next time, I will be asked by the landlady to go to Hu'er Town to buy oil rice so that I can show off with those of my peers.

The dust is faintly visible in the distance on the road, and the dull trembling on the earth is becoming more and more clear.

But the weather didn't wait for anyone, so the little cripple was a little anxious, so he quickly climbed down from the roof, went to the lobby, and asked the landlady if he could hang up the lanterns. The woman stared, if you hang up the lanterns so early, who gets the money for the candles? The little cripple patted his chest and said it was mine. If it didn't work out, I would put it in the old hunchback's account first. The woman nodded. The little cripple happily hung up two red lanterns outside the inn. Just as he was about to climb up the house, he noticed a horse riding around a little. After leaving the official road, he appeared quietly outside the inn. He was wearing armor, which was extremely bright and gorgeous. It was different from the simple style of the Yao family's frontier troops. The cavalryman took off his helmet and held it in front of his chest, and asked with an indifferent expression: " Do they sell green plum wine?"

The little lame man swallowed his saliva and said with fear: "If you go back to the military master, they will sell green plum wine."

The cavalryman said solemnly: "Within one stick of incense, ask the shopkeeper to vacate the entire inn, then prepare five tables for food, and bring out the best green plum wine. All expenses, including a penny, will be indispensable for you. If there are really rumors about green plum wine, then It’s delicious, and there’s a big reward! Remember, after entering the inn, we will have someone check the room, and if there is anyone else staying in the room, they will be killed without mercy. After we leave, all guests staying in the hotel can check in. "

The cavalryman put on his helmet again, turned his horse's head, and galloped away.

The little cripple's face was dull. The man in green squatted alone at the door of the inn. The native dog had returned to its den, but he still had no place to stay. Seeing that the young man was still in a daze, he reminded him: "Go tell Jiuniang quickly, don't worry. Without these noble people from the capital, the inn will not be able to stay open."

The little lame man hurriedly ran into the lobby and found that the woman had already met the old hunchback and were summarizing things. When the little lame man arrived, he happened to be the first person and asked him to explain the situation to the guests upstairs and ask them to leave the inn first. To avoid any bloody disaster.

The little cripple was a little embarrassed. The woman waved her hand and said that the money for the candle was waived. The little cripple immediately rushed to the second floor. The first room was Chen Pingan. The little cripple told the guest who opened the door about the situation. Chen Pingan didn't care and said with a smile. He came to say hello to the other two rooms and asked the young man to go directly to the other rooms to call for people. The little lame man thanked them and left in a hurry.

After Pei Qian opened the door, an oil lamp was lit on the table, and a book was spread out over there. She smiled and said I was reading.

Chen Pingan did not expose her little trick. In fact, Pei Qian had been listening to Zhu Lian and Wei Xian's side of the wall. It was only after hearing the knock on the door that he took out the books from the package, which looked like Chen Ping's.

Chen Pingan asked her to pack her package and leave the inn temporarily.

In the next room, Zhu Lian had already opened the door and smiled with Chen Ping'an and said, "Wei Xian went to sleep again after opening the door. Shall I wake the young master up?"

When Zhu Lian was about to turn around, Wei Xian, who smelled of alcohol, had already sat up, rubbed his brows, and said to the two of them, "Wake up."

The three Fox Town policemen, including Ma Ping, cursed when they heard that the cavalry was passing by, but still left the house obediently.

The girl with a ponytail stood outside the railing. She lived in a room at the end of the corridor on the second floor. She was glaring at the woman on the first floor of the lobby, "Does your inn treat guests like this? You are really experienced. In On the border, there are still people who dare to be so unreasonable under the eyes of the Yao family's cavalry? I want to see who he is, who can drive people out of the inn with just one word!"

The girl put one hand on the railing and jumped directly from the second floor. The eyelids of Ma Ping and the others trembled at the sight of such a strong-willed little girl.

The woman smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

The old hunchback held the cigarette pole and thought for a while, "I'll go and say it. Let's open the door to welcome guests. There is no distinction between high and low."

The old man walked straight out of the inn, and his figure disappeared into the vast night.

The woman apologized to the two groups of guests on the second floor: "You can just stay in your respective rooms for a while. Our inn is sorry for what happened tonight. We will give each of you a jar of five-year-old green plum wine afterwards." .”

The girl stood up, returned to the second floor, and slammed the door.

Ma Ping and the other three returned to the house angrily.

Chen Pingan asked Wei Xian and Zhu Lian to sit in his room for a while. Of course, Pei Qian didn't need to say much.

The woman asked the little cripple to go out, but asked the scholar named Zhong to choose a room on the second floor so that he wouldn't be an eyesore by wandering outside the door.

The guest in green shirt chose a room on the second floor and then lay down on the railing. The woman stretched out her finger and shook it at him, "Get in the room."

The scholar worriedly said: "Jiu Niang, you are so beautiful, will those military masters take advantage of you? After drinking, it is easier to have sex after drinking..."

The woman smiled and said: "You will be a hero and save the beauty. If I become blind, maybe I will give you my life."

He waved his hand and said, "It is not the behavior of a gentleman to take advantage of others' danger. Don't worry, Jiuniang. We scholars are all full of righteousness and sages. As long as I stand here, no matter how much wine they drink, they will all be angry." Don’t have any evil thoughts…”

Before the woman could say anything, the girl surnamed Yao in the far room had already opened the door, pulled out the knife halfway out of its sheath, made a sweet clang, and said sternly to the scholar: "Shut up, you idiot!"

Obviously, the girl's knife was much more effective than the little cripple's fists and feet. The scholar immediately entered the room without even farting.

The more this happens, the more disappointed the girl becomes with the woman downstairs. All year long, hanging out with these men, laughing and drinking with them, how is it different from those women in brothels?

After entering the room, the girl lay on the table, feeling so sad that she sobbed.

The woman stood behind the counter, sighed, and poured herself a bowl of green plum wine.

Plop.

The woman looked up and saw the scholar jumped off the second floor and fell to the ground. After getting up, he walked to the counter and said with a smile: "Jiu Niang, just think of me as the accountant. I'm too far away from you." worried."

The scholar smiled gently.

The woman was stunned for a moment and replied: "But you are so ugly and you get too close to me, which makes me sick."

The scholar squatted on the ground and held his head as if struck by lightning.

It turns out that the love stories between men and women in the novels about talented men and beauties, and the traceable love stories between men and women, are all lies, and they don’t even work.

The hunchbacked old man walked into the inn first.

A group of people followed behind, probably because the other party was more reasonable and did not expel the guests on the second floor, nor did they rush into the five tables.

The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a red python suit, with a pale face and beardless appearance, and an imposing manner.

There are two people behind the man in python suit. One is wearing a silver armor with cloud patterns on the seal. When walking, the armor is clanking. There is another person, who is seventy years old, wearing a brocade robe, a high crown on his head, and an immortal spirit.

The next seven or eight people should all be close followers.

The three men in python clothes sat at one table, and the other retinues sat at two tables. Among the retinues was an inconspicuous young man with a jade pendant hanging around his waist. After seeing the woman, he smiled.

Outside the inn, there were a total of seven to eight hundred fine horses and a dozen carriages. In each carriage, there was a prisoner and two people guarding them. The people in custody, without exception, were all middle five from the Daquan Dynasty. Realm Qi practitioner.

The hunchbacked old man frowned.

The old man really didn't expect there were such people.

This group of guests is not selling him the face of a bad old man, but the face of the Yao family. The face of the eighty thousand Yao family cavalry and the general Zhengnan has only changed from five tables of people to three tables of people. So big. As for why they didn't expel the guests on the second floor, one of the young guards casually mentioned that there were more people, more popular, and more lively drinking. Then the arrogant eunuch in python clothes smiled and agreed.

The general in silver armor looked towards the woman and ordered: "Serve the green plum wine first, and the food will follow quickly."

The hunchbacked old man opened the curtain and went to work in the kitchen.

The little cripple started delivering wine to three tables.

The atmosphere on the first floor of the inn was solemn.

There was almost only the sound of pouring wine.

Suddenly someone raised his hand, greeted the woman, and said with a smile: "Madam boss, could you please pour the bowls of wine for the brothers yourself? I heard that green plum wine is a method passed down from your ancestors, and you brew it yourself. Of course, you have to pour the wine yourself." "

At this table of servants, when a young man started to appear, they immediately lost their scruples and burst into laughter.

The woman picked up a jar of green plum wine, smiled and went over to pour the wine.

It's just that for some reason, the woman's body was tense. After running an inn for so many years, she had seen all the three religions in the world, including many immortal qi practitioners on the mountain. But when she looked at the young servant, There was actually some fear, as if an ordinary person had encountered an evil spirit or encountered a ghost in the dark, and there was a sense of powerlessness deep in his heart.

The guest in green shirt suddenly grabbed the woman and laughed loudly: "Jiu Niang is not feeling well today. I, the accountant, can come and pour wine for the distinguished guests, okay?"

The young guard looked around as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, "Brothers, do you think it's okay?"

Everyone said no.

The young guard then looked at the scholar in green shirt and said, "No, what should I do? Otherwise, we should let the landlady pour the wine herself? It's just a glass of wine, and you don't need your Jiuniang to accompany us to Guajiajun Town, right?"

The eunuch wearing a scarlet python robe turned a deaf ear.

The old immortal master wearing a high crown smiled slightly.

The girl Yao Lingzhi opened the door and said with a livid face: "No!"

The young retinue stood up, looking somewhat outstanding.

He raised his head, smiled and asked, "Why?"

The girl just looked at this person and felt a little worried. She subconsciously pressed the handle of the knife and said without hesitation: "This is the territory of the Yao family!"

Yao Lingzhi didn't know that the moment she grasped the handle of the knife, all the subordinates present on the first floor had murderous intentions.

The silver-armored general sitting next to the python-robed eunuch and the high-crowned immortal master was even more murderous.

The young servant always craned his neck to look at the second floor, but he seemed to have seen all the movements on the first floor. He stretched out a hand and pressed it gently to signal everyone not to act rashly, and then smiled and said: "But the entire Daquan Dynasty is... It's my family's territory. What should I do? Are your Yao family going to rebel?"

The woman carried the wine jar and walked out of the counter. She said to the girl in a deep voice: "Lingzhi, go back to the room!"

Then he cast a blessing on the young servant and said, "Jiuniang will pour wine for the young master now."

The young guard raised the corners of his mouth, stared at the woman's face, and pointed at the girl on the second floor, "How about you, mother and daughter, come together?"

The woman's face turned pale.

A room opened on the second floor, and a young man in white robe walked out, "I don't think it's good."

The young retinue turned his head and looked at the man with a playful look in his eyes: "Oh? Who do you think you are?"

This time, someone on the first floor helped Chen Pingan answer, "Who are you?"

It was the down-and-out scholar named Zhong.

The young servant lamented, "Okay, tonight everyone is having trouble with me. The inn who is unwilling to kick out the guests, the landlady who is unwilling to pour wine, the girl from the Yao family who talks arrogantly, who wears a white robe and thinks she is a sword." Immortal outsiders who wear green shirts feel that they are Confucian sages and scholars..."

He suddenly looked at the woman, then at the girl upstairs, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, you two can try to save the Yao family tonight. If I am in a good mood, maybe I can help pull the Yao family back." Get out of the fire pit.”

The woman took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind. She turned to the poor scholar and said, "Zhong Kui, this matter has nothing to do with you. I also know that you have some skills, so you can leave as long as you can and leave us alone." .”

Then she looked up at Chen Pingan and was about to speak.

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked: "Madam boss, what did you say earlier?"

The woman was a little confused and remained silent for a while.

Chen Pingan said to himself: "The road in the world is narrow and the wine glass is wide."

The road is narrow, so you will meet the Yao family who are related to that locust leaf.

The road is narrow, so you will encounter these guys who wish everyone else would die on the road.

But it doesn't matter, the green plum wine here is delicious.

Chen Pingan said softly: "I'm going to trouble four of you today."

In full view of everyone, four people walked out of the room behind the young man in white on the second floor.

The founding emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom walked out first and said with a straight face: "No need to be polite."

Madman Wu Zhu Lian then bent down and walked out, standing on the other side of Chen Ping'an, with his hands behind his back, he said with a smile: "Young master, these words are unnecessary."

A stunning woman carrying the "Infatuated Heart" sword stood next to Wei Xian. She was none other than the female swordsman Sui Sui of the Lotus Flower Blessed Land. Her face was cold and she said, "Thank you, Master, for borrowing the sword."

Finally, there was the burly founder of the Demon Sect, Lu Baixiang, standing beside Zhu Lian with a knife in both hands, and said with a smile: "My lord, this knife is good, Zingxue, the name is also good."

At the end, a soft and weak voice sounded, "Dad, where am I?"

Chen Ping'an felt helpless and said, "Go back to the house and study!"

The skinny little girl made a sound, closed the door gently, and read loudly. The sages and principles in the book were read loudly to her.

Scholars on the first floor listen to the sound of books on the second floor.

In addition to the sound of books on the second floor, there are also Chen Ping'an, Wei Xian, Zhu Lian, Sui Youyou, and Lu Baixiang.
