Seeing Gu Xuandu's shriveled look, Lin Rufei knocked on the door of the maid in a good mood. When the maids saw him coming, they quickly stopped talking and came forward.
Lin Rufei originally wanted Fuhua Yurui to make him some food, but then she thought, since she came to a new world, she naturally wanted to taste the specialties here. She arrived in a hurry yesterday, and even the appearance of the small town was lost. Without seeing it, I entered the inn to rest. Since the weather is good today, walking around is also a good choice.
Thinking of this, Lin Rufei said hello to Fuhua Yurui and went out slowly.
After passing Xiliang Mountain, they arrived at the prosperous Central Plains area. Although they were only in a less important town next to Xiliang Mountain at this time, the shadow of its prosperity could still be vaguely seen. On both sides of the street, there was an endless stream of tourists, and in the shops along the road, there were also some new things that Lin Rufei had never seen before. He walked all the way, bought all the way, and by the time he walked the whole street, his hands were full of all kinds of interesting things and delicious food.
Seeing that the purchase was almost done, Lin Rufei found a roadside stall and sat down, and asked the hawker for a bowl of hot noodle soup. He had never tasted this kind of noodle soup before, with thick oily red sauce, a layer of chili peppers on top, and a few thin slices of braised beef. After Lin Rufei took a few bites, her head was full of spicy He was sweating profusely, his lips were blushing, and his tongue was hissing from time to time.
When the hawker saw Lin Rufei's appearance, he couldn't help laughing. He said that if it was the first time for the guest to eat it, they could make them less spicy. Lin Rufei nodded while drinking water, even a thin layer of water vapor floated in her eyes.
However, although this noodle soup was spicy, it tasted really good. Although Lin Rufei had tears in the corners of her eyes, she still bit her head and ate the whole bowl of noodles. After eating, he felt that his lips hurt so much, he asked Gu Xuandu vaguely, and Gu Xuandu said that his mouth was swollen.
"Don't force it if you can't eat it, look at how you look now." Gu Xuandu said, "It seems that someone has been bullied."
Lin Rufei's complexion was originally fair, but now there were tears in the corners of her eyes, her lips were red and swollen, and her brows were frowning, adding a bit of a pitiful aura.
Lin Rufei didn't realize what was wrong. It was the first time he ate something so spicy, and he was about to become confused by the spicy food. After paying the bill in a panic, he hurriedly went to the fruit vendor next to him to buy some plums. into the mouth,
These plums were all iced in well water. They tasted crunchy, sweet and sour. They were very delicious. Lin Rufei couldn't help but eat a few more.
After eating, Lin Rufei decided to go back. Before going back, she passed a small shop selling weapons, so she dropped in to take a look. Who would have thought that as soon as Lin Rufei entered, he saw a wooden shield placed in the corner at first sight. The wooden shield looked exactly the same as the one sold to him by Mo Zhaocai, but the one sold in this store seemed to be more bigger.
"Boss, how do you sell this wooden shield?" Lin Rufei asked.
The boss didn't lift his head: "A tael of silver."
Lin Rufei thought for a moment, then seriously said, "Can it be cheaper?"
"I'll give you ten more copper coins at most." The boss said, "Guest officer, we are a small business with no profit."
Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Then I'll take it." He happily took out the silver, took the ten copper coins he recovered from the boss, and went out happily with a wooden shield.
Seeing his delighted appearance, Gu Xuan said strangely, "What are you so happy about?"
Lin Rufei said, "I succeeded in my first bargain!"
Gu Xuandu: "..."
Lin Rufei said, "The boss also gave me ten copper coins less!" He had visited the market so many times and saw many people lowering the price.
On the Yaoguang Continent, three copper coins were one or two silver coins, and there were always three hundred coins. The ten coins Lin Rufei said were just enough to buy two strings of candied haws. Lin Rufei bought another two bunches of candied haws, and Gu Xuan shared a bunch with each other, and ate them with relish.
Gu Xuan asked him why he bought this wooden shield. Lin Rufei said that the wooden shield was very useful. At present, he could not use Gu Yu very smoothly, so he thought of making do with this wooden shield. Gu Xuan was hesitant to say anything several times. He wanted to say that Lin Rufei's slender figure holding such a large wooden shield was really out of place, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. Anyway, Lin Rufei was happy. Just let him go.
So Lin Rufei happily ate the candied haws while fighting back against a huge wooden shield. I don't know if it was because he started trying to draw the sword energy out of his body, but Lin Rufei's strength was much stronger than before, and his five senses were also a lot more sensitive. His chronic cough for many years has no intention of getting better.
After a day of repairing in the town, they plan to follow the official road all the way into the Central Plains. Lin Rufei was exhausted by the car for more than ten days, and she didn't get sick. She was still whispering whether her physical condition had improved. Who knew that after walking around the town, she started to have a cough and fever the next day.
So when she finally left the town, Lin Rufei had no choice but to sit in the carriage, looking listless.
Fortunately, the official road is not bumpy like a mountain road, it is flat and wide, and it is not uncomfortable to sit in it.
Their next destination is Gusu City, which is a hundred miles away, and it will take about half a day. When you arrive in Suzhou, you have truly arrived in the real Central Plains. The personnel and affairs that I have seen, although more mixed, will be more interesting if I think about it.
As the weather became hotter, Lin Rufei also put on thin summer clothes and her hair was tied up, which was a bit more heroic than the clothes on the Kunlun Mountains.
Around evening, the carriage driven by Fu Hua finally arrived outside the city of Gusu. After passing the message to the guards guarding the city, the carriage drove into it through the wide city gate.
As soon as she entered the city gate, Lin Rufei was surprised. In this Gusu city, for some reason, fiery red lanterns and dense red silk were hung everywhere. The windows of the shops on both sides of the street were also hung with bright red greeting cards. Character.
"Who is this getting married?" Yu Rui asked curiously.
Fuhua said: "The one who wants to get married must be a big family. In this Gusu city, the only one that can be called a big family is the Liu family."
"But since it is the Liu family getting married, it must be a big event, and invitations will be widely distributed to invite guests from all over the world. Why is it so quiet?" Yurui was unclear.
Fu Hua shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Lin Rufei's third invitation was for the Liu family in Gusu City.
In the Jianghu, there are only two Jianxiu who have passed the eight realms of cultivation before the age of 20. The first is his second brother Lin Bianyu, and the second is Liu Rugong, the second son of the Liu family in Gusu City. . It is a pity that Mo Changshan of the Mo family passed away at an early age, otherwise, there should be his name in these eight realms.
Although Liu Rugong has a bow in his name, he is actually a good sword.
It is rumored that Liu Rugong's character is uncertain, surly and ruthless. One moment before drinking with someone, he can get someone's head the next. If it wasn't for the Liu family's great momentum, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to suppress such a fierce god. The Liu family is a commercial giant in the Central Plains. It is said that two-thirds of the merchants in this Suzhou city are owned by his family. Thinking about it, no matter which junior in the Liu family got married, it would be a big deal, so I didn't hear any news.
A few people entered the inn, ordered some food, and then asked about Xiao Er.
As soon as Xiao Er heard it, he frowned and said, "Guest officer, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's that it's really hard to talk about it."
"Why is it difficult to speak?" Yu Rui asked curiously, "Isn't the wedding a happy event?"
The second sighed and shook his head.
"Forget it, you can tell us who is going to get married." Fu Hua didn't feel embarrassed, she handed out a piece of silver and asked.
Xiao Er looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "The guest officer doesn't know something, this married person is the second son of the Liu family, Liu Rugong..."
Several people were stunned when they heard the words.
If the Liu family did not want to arrange the wedding of the others, it would be reasonable, but the person who got married turned out to be the most favored Liu Rugong. Liu Rugong's big wedding is definitely the most important thing for the Liu family, and it will definitely be done in a big way.
"Liu Rugong?" Fu Hua said incredulously, "He wants to get married, why is he so low-key."
Xiao Er had a bitter face and kept shaking his head, but refused to say any more.
Lin Rufei showed curiosity, and after thinking for a while, she took out a piece of broken gold from her cuff, handed it to Xiao Er, and motioned him to continue.
Seeing the gold, Xiao Er showed a struggling expression, and finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, but actually refused: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, I really don't dare to say this, although the gold is good, but the head is missing, Nowhere to spend..."
"Who wanted your head?" Someone asked curiously behind him.
As soon as he heard this voice, Xiao Er's already bad face turned a little pale in an instant, and he turned his head back with a stiff head.
Lin Rufei followed Xiao Er's gaze and saw a young man with long and narrow eyes sitting on the wooden table next to him. He was wearing a red dress with dark lotus patterns on the bottom of sandalwood. The short boots, the long hair and the crown, are tilting his head, looking at this little Er with interest, seeing the little Er's face is terrified, and the two are fighting, he patiently asked again: "Who will want your head? "
Little World War II called out tremblingly: "Liu... Young Master Liu..."
Young Master Liu said with a smile, "You are so afraid of what I do, have I killed someone in front of you?" He shook his head again, denying the statement, "No, in Gusu City, how could anyone have seen me kill someone? Woolen cloth."
How could Xiao Er dare to speak? Seeing his scared appearance, he almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow to this young master Liu. Fortunately, Young Master Liu was not very interested in him, so he quickly turned his attention to the three Lin Rufei sitting behind Xiao Er.
Lin Rufei's figure is weak and there is no sword energy on her body. No matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a cultivator, but the maids sitting on both sides of him can see the cultivation of the five realms. Just being able to use the exiled immortal of the five realms as a maid, this seemingly weak son must have an unusual identity.
"How many of you have just arrived in Gusu City?" Young Master Liu didn't even see him outside, he picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of hot tea.
Lin Rufei nodded.
"But what's the matter?" Young Master Liu asked.
Lin Rufei said, "I am Lin Rufei, the fourth son of the Kunlun Lin family. I came to Gusu City to send the Liu family an invitation to the Sword Club." After a slight pause, he continued, "You are the most famous swordsman in the Liu family. Liu Rugong, Young Master Liu, right?"
Liu Rugong smiled and said, "Oh, so you can see it?"
The Liu family has many descendants. There are seven or eight men and women in the direct line alone, and the collateral line is a sea. It is not easy to guess his identity.
Lin Rufei said warmly, "I saw you at the sword meeting a few years ago."
The smile on Liu Rugong's face faded: "You are Lin Bianyu's younger brother, why have I never seen you."
Lin Rufei said, "I have been frail since I was a child, and I rarely show up in front of people."
Liu Rugong said, "I see." When he heard that Lin Rufei was weak, he seemed to lose interest in him instantly, and he stopped being polite, stood up lazily, and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Lin. son."
After speaking, he turned around and left, his attitude was very rude.
Seeing him like this, Fu Hua and Yu Rui had anger in their eyes, and they were about to scold him, but they were stopped by Lin Rufei.
"No problem." Lin Rufei waved her hand indifferently, "Swordsmen always have their own temperament."
Especially the powerful swordsman, even his second brother's seemingly gentle temperament is actually arrogant, and he is probably too lazy to be polite to people who don't like or are not interested.
"Master, this Liu Rugong is too arrogant." Yurui said dissatisfiedly, "No matter how powerful he is, he still won't be defeated by our second young master."
Liu Rugong was indeed defeated, but it was only one move away from chess. At that time, he put down his harsh words and wanted to compete with Lin Bianyu again, but for some reason, the Liu family of this year's sword club did not send him to Kunlun, but instead sent him to Kunlun. The eldest son of the Liu family, who has cultivated in the seventh realm, naturally has no chance of winning.
After Liu Rugong left, the little Er who was almost scared took a while to recover, but there was a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at Lin Rufei, obviously he felt that he could talk to Liu Rugong. Although the person does not know his identity, he cannot be offended.
"Young master, in fact... it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but it's just too ridiculous." The second tried his best to suppress his voice, "Although the whole city is full of lights, no one dares to talk about it."
"What happened?" Lin Rufei asked.
Xiao Er finally told Lin Rufei the reason with difficulty. He said, "Because... the second son of the Liu family... wants to marry a sword."
Everyone's expressions were stunned, even Gu Xuandu, who had been sitting beside him, was very bored.
"What did you say?" Fu Hua thought she had heard it wrong, "What do you think the second son of the Liu family wants to marry?"
Xiao Er said, "A sword."
Everyone: "… "
Xiao Er's reaction to them was not surprising at all, and continued to add calmly: "It's his favorite Luoshen."
Luoshen is a good sword, and can be as famous as Tianxiao created by Kunlun, which is naturally extraordinary. Rumor has it that it was tempered with extraterrestrial meteorite iron and rootless fire. On the day when the sword came out, the sky was full of rays of light, and the clouds were shaped like a beautiful woman who described her as graceful, hence the name Luoshen.
Liu Rugong won the Luoshen, as if if there was divine help, his cultivation would improve a thousand miles. Everyone said that this man and one sword are the perfect match in the world.
But no matter how perfect it is, marrying a sword is too absurd.
After Xiao Er said this, everyone fell into a long silence, and finally Lin Rufei said, "This Liu Rugong really has a personality."
"Yeah." The second son scolded, "Who can change the decision made by the second son of Liu family? Although the master of the Liu family is half-hearted, he can't do anything about him. Besides, the second son of Liu's mother has always doted on him incomparably. I couldn't resist it, so I just let him go, and even changed into a red dress in the city of Gusu, saying that it was Liu Er Gongzi's first marriage, so don't be too sloppy..."
Several people looked at each other, speechless.
Xiao Er said, "But everyone doesn't dare to talk about this. After all, the second son has a bad temper. Killing a chicken is like killing a chicken. If you really want to die, no one will collect the corpse."
After Lin Rufei listened, she handed the gold in her hand to Xiao Er, indicating that he could go down.
Xiao Er received the reward, gave Lin Rufei a grateful salute, and hurriedly retreated.
"This is interesting." Fu Hua murmured, "This is the first time I heard that someone wants to marry their own sword."
Yurui shook her head: "I don't understand, this is the real swordsman, who will be with the sword for life." She seemed to understand Liu Rugong very well.
Lin Rufei didn't talk too much about this matter. The world is big and full of surprises. At the same time he felt strange, he also thought that the second son of Liu was really interesting, and he could be regarded as a kind person.
It was already a little late, and after everyone had eaten, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Lin Rufei drank the medicine after taking a bath, but she tossed and tossed in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Gu Xuan sat on the edge of the bed with her chin propped up and looked at the scenery outside without saying a word.
Lin Rufei called out a little strangely, "Senior?"
Gu Xuan turned back.
Lin Rufei said, "What's on your mind?"
Gu Xuandu said, "What's on your mind?"
Lin Rufei said, "Then why don't you talk?" Gu Xuan usually talks a lot, but today he didn't say a word. Even when he heard such a bizarre thing that Liu Rugong was going to marry Jian, he didn't say a word. did not say.
Gu Xuandu said, "Is it strange to marry Jian?"
Lin Rufei was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Could it be senior..." He looked at Shuangjiang on Gu Xuandu's waist, and said cautiously, "If senior is really interested in swords, don't treat Shuangjiang like this, use his wife as his wife. Burning fire sticks is always not good."
Gu Xuandu: "..." Shuang Jiang on his waist was still buzzing at this time, and he didn't know whether he was responding to Lin Rufei's words or simply mocking Gu Xuandu.
Gu Xuan was choked to death by Lin Rufei's words, but he didn't know what to say. He simply waved his sleeves and the person disappeared.
Lin Rufei only thought that he was angry and sighed quietly in her heart that the idea of a master was really different, but he had to write a letter to the eldest brother to urge the second brother's marriage, so don't become obsessed with sword training. He really married Tian Xiao to be his sister-in-law. Although he wouldn't look down on his second brother, it was a bit strange to be called a sword sister-in-law.
Lin Rufei lay on the bed thinking about these trivial matters, and stayed up until midnight before falling asleep in a daze.
When she woke up the next day, she still hadn't seen Gu Xuandu's figure. Lin Rufei was not in a hurry, she had breakfast slowly, and planned to visit Liu Mansion with Fuhua and the others.
Unexpectedly, when I asked Liu's mansion, I realized that the master and wife of the Liu family were not in the mansion, and they would not come back in more than ten days. However, the person in charge showed great respect after learning Lin Rufei's identity, invited Lin Rufei to stay in Liu Mansion, and said that he had already sent a letter to his wife and master, and they should rush back as soon as possible.
Lin Rufei declined the steward's invitation, saying that it would be fine if she stayed at the inn, instead of coming to disturb her.
No matter how much the steward tried to persuade him, he could not persuade him, so he had to send his servants to book the best inn in Gusu City, and told the boss to treat the distinguished guest Lin Rufei well.
The innkeeper even claimed that it was good.
The reason why Lin Rufei insisted on staying at the inn was because something happened to the Xie's and Meng's family before. He thought that it was a bit evil, so he felt that it was safer to stay in the inn. Anyway, no matter what happened to the Liu family, it had nothing to do with him.
After sending Lin Rufei to the inn, the steward hesitated a few times, but Lin Rufei asked him to speak directly.
The steward whispered, "Young Master Lin may not know something, the fifteenth day of the month is the wedding day of my second son's grand wedding... It's just that this wedding is a bit special, so the Liu Mansion did not plan to entertain guests, and all the people involved were It's not that the people in the mansion are unwilling to invite you, Young Master Lin." He was probably afraid that Lin Rufei would be misunderstood by the Liu family, and he didn't even get an invitation to the wedding, so he explained it to Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei nodded, indicating that it's okay,
The steward walked away cautiously.
However, just one day later, someone in the Liu residence sent the wedding invitation to Lin Rufei. When Lin Rufei asked, she realized that it was sent by the master of the Liu family, saying that the Lin Liu family had a good relationship and that Lin Rufei Fei can come to the banquet if she wants to, but please don't follow the ceremony, it's enough for people to come. Thinking about coming here, the Liu family master had gone through a lot of psychological struggles, and finally chose to invite Lin Rufei, the fourth son of the Lin family. Others didn't know it, but he knew very well. Although Lin Rufei was weak and seldom known to outsiders, in fact Most favored in the Lin family. And it is said that a few days ago, he swung his sword and chopped off half the top of the Kunlun North Peak. Whether this is true or not is open to debate, but I think he is definitely not as weak as he has shown, otherwise how would the Lin family be willing to let him out? Walk the rivers and lakes.
I have to say that this ginger is still old and hot, and the Liu family master really guessed the matter. It's a pity that his shrewdness is useless on his own son. He can't beat him. He can't scold him. .
This Gusu City is several times bigger than Moyu, and Lin Rufei can't wait to see the prosperity of the Central Plains.
He took the money bag, said goodbye to Fuhua and Yurui, went out alone, went to find some food as usual, and then planned to walk around along the river that runs through Gusu City. Only halfway through, he saw Liu Rugong, who was supposed to be preparing for the wedding at Liu's house, squatting on the side of the road, with a pure-colored Hai Dongqing parked on his arm, teasing the bird with great interest, he also saw Lin Rufei stood up and greeted Lin Rufei with a smile. It didn't look like she was so difficult to get along with when they first met.
"If Young Master Lin wants to walk around Gusu City, why not let me be your guide?" Liu Rugong said with a smile.
Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, but she still responded to Liu Rugong's suggestion: "Then... I will trouble Young Master Liu."
The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: Isn't this bridal chamber flower candle to practice sword all night
Gu Xuandu: What if not.
Lin Rufei: What should we do then
Gu Xuandu: The method is always more difficult than the difficulty. Can you make do with the hilt
Lin Rufei: ? ? ? ? ?
