Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Yu Yunxi stopped crying, stood up and shouted to Zhang Ming on the stairs, but Zhang Ming ignored her, she bit her lip and was very troubled.

There is no way around this, the Demon Gate has been staring at her in secret. Although the matter has been resolved this time, it will definitely come back if it leaves Yingchuan City, and it is relatively safe to stay with Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming looked downstairs and said, "Don't leave me alone."

Yu Yun stomped her feet angrily, "I don't need anyone who wants to follow you!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Yunxi strode away from the inn.

Seeing this, Zhang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and carried Xiao Qi into the room, fearing that Yu Yunxi would mess with her, but luckily she didn't.

Li Muzi said that Yu Yunxi had a nine-yin constitution, but he didn't know why he told Zhang Ming. The more this happened, the less Zhang Ming wanted to get involved, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Yu Yunxi.

Early the next morning, Zhang Ming got up early and went to the stable to lead the donkey out.

Ying Chuan just wanted to rest, staying here for one more day was just because of Li Muzi's whim, and now it's time to leave.

After leaving the city gate, Zhang Ming looked at the endless official road.

He patted the donkey's head and drove it forward.

Xiaoqi lay in Zhang Ming's arms, and opened her eyes to take a look from time to time. She could imagine how boring the journey would be.

After a hutch, Xiao Qi closed his eyes, planning to sleep again.

The donkey shook, and so did Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming glanced back at Yingchuan City, but quickly turned his head away.

It was as if he was escaping from something.

.........

Liangzhou City.

The sergeant at the top of the city was already disheveled, but he still stood on the top of the city and stared at the front tightly.

A lone eagle flew by in the sky, but an arrow feather shot out from the city, hit the lone eagle's wings, and circled down.

With a scream, the lone eagle landed under the city, with the arrow feather stuck in its body.

On the tower, the swordsman took a sip of wine, looked at the general holding a bow beside him, and said, "The general is good at archery."

Although the general heard the praise, he didn't look happy at all.

Liangzhou City has been defending for several days, and since that day, Beimo's offensive has become more and more intense. The army is definitely not enough.

The general sighed, his eyes were blank, and he muttered: "The battle to the death is coming..."

The swordsman took another sip of wine and said, "The general is so sad, does he have no confidence?"

The general said: "There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Liangzhou, they also have wives and children, and they are not afraid of life and death in a life-and-death battle with Beimo, but if they die, what will happen to those who are waiting for them to come back."

He looked up and saw the lone eagle shot down by his arrow, and sighed: "I only hope that the reinforcements can arrive earlier, so that fewer people will die."

The swordsman took a sip of wine, but the wind in Liangzhou was a bit biting.

"Soon." The swordsman replied.

It should be soon.

……

In the tent, Hu Yan removed the cloth wrapped around the wound from the previous days, the old wound has healed, but these days the fighting continued, so he added a new wound.

Now Hu Yan still has three stab wounds and four stab wounds on his body, he can no longer go to the battlefield, so he can only rest in this tent.

The swordsman walked into the tent, saw that Hu Yan, who was seriously injured, had woken up, and walked over.

"Why are you so desperate?" asked the swordsman.

Hu Yan still had that indifferent face, and said, "What are you doing here?"

"have a look."

The swordsman looked at him, saw his injuries, and said, "You can't go to the battlefield like this."

Hu Yan replied, "I know."

The swordsman took a deep breath and said, "You can leave when you heal your wounds. Liangzhou City can't be broken. If you die outside the city, I don't even have anyone to explain to you."

"Yeah." Hu Yan nodded slightly.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to get the swordsman's wine.

The swordsman didn't give it to him, and said, "Don't drink if you're injured."

But Hu Yan looked at him, the swordsman was a little scared by his stare, and said helplessly: "I've convinced you, here you are."

Hu Yan took the wine gourd and took a big gulp, as if he was relieved.

"How long do you plan to stay?" Hu Yan asked.

The swordsman paused, looked at him and said, "Why do you ask this?"

Hu Yan kept staring at him without moving his gaze.

The swordsman didn't dare to look at him, but he stared at him a little guilty, got up and said, "Heal your wounds well, I'm leaving."

The swordsman walked out of the tent without looking back.

He has been a sword all his life, and he has always been alone. If he goes and does not return, he is dead.

This is his home.

Even though the nonsense is clear, he still asks, just hoping that the swordsman can say a word of reassurance or no problem.

Hu Yan looked at the leaving figure, and suddenly he didn't understand why he came here in the first place, why he went to the battlefield, whether it was because of Su Kuang, or who it was.

If you don't understand nonsense, you simply don't want to.

He lay back on the bed, and the rusty knife lay beside him, always accompanying him.

……

Jianghu Tavern.

Monk Nian'an lit the candle, turned around and went to the inner room to get some drinks.

Putting the drinks on the table, Nian An went under the table and looked at the person in front of him.

"Please." Nian An smiled.

Kong Yue stroked her beard, poured a glass of wine, and had a drink.

It was just the two of them in the tavern now.

"I didn't expect that you would become a shopkeeper." Kong Yue said with a smile.

Nian An poured a glass of wine, took a sip, and said, "I have nothing to do."

But after that, neither of them spoke, they just drank wine glass by glass.

The breeze blows in, and the candles in the tavern flicker.

Silence, as always, silence.

Until the jug of wine was finished, neither of them spoke.

Nian An got up and put away the wine glasses and jugs on the table, and said, "Ten taels."

Kong Yue smiled, flipped the silver with her wrist and put it on the table, Nian An took the opportunity to put it away.

Kong Yue looked at him and said, "Wuji, do you really want to fight with me?"

Nian An smiled without answering, turned around and went back to the counter.

Chapter 298: Asking for directions

"Little two."

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Zhang Ming called Xiao Er, this is a wine shop next to the official road, it only sells some drinks and side dishes.

Zhang Ming originally planned to move forward, but he didn't know where the road ahead led, so he naturally wanted to ask.

"Further on, where is it?" Zhang Ming asked.

Xiaoer replied: "If you go to the east, you will reach the border of Xuzhou in a few days. If you go to the northwest, you can go to Chang'an or Liangzhou, but Liangzhou has been a little bit uneasy recently."

Zhang Ming nodded, and gave Xiaoer a piece of silver, and Xiaoer left gratefully.

After eating, Zhang Ming picked up Xiao Qi and continued on the road.

About half an hour later, the road ahead forked, one went northwest and the other went east.

"Snoring." The donkey panted and stopped before the fork in the road.

Zhang Ming, who was riding on a donkey, looked at the fork in front of him, a little hesitant.

How to go?

Liangzhou, or Xuzhou?

Zhang Ming glanced left and right, not knowing how to make a choice.

However, at this moment, a person walked behind Zhang Ming, wearing a bamboo hat, walked past the donkey with his head down, with a long sword hanging on his waist, and walked towards the left road.

Seeing this, Zhang Ming shouted, "Brother, are you going to Liangzhou?"

The man in the bamboo hat turned around and raised his head, that face fell into Zhang Ming's eyes, and he looked at Zhang Ming.

At that moment, Zhang Ming was taken aback.

The person under the bamboo hat seemed to recognize Zhang Ming, and said softly, "Senior?"

"Nangong Yixian?" Zhang Ming raised his eyebrows.

Momen, Nanshan Sword Sect, Nangong Yixian.

When he was in Chang'an, Nangong Yixian was defeated by Li Qingfeng Sword Immortal, and after seeing Zhang Ming's sword intent, Zhang Ming also pondered for a while and thought of Nangong Yixian.

Zhang Ming glanced at him, frowned and asked, "Are you going to Liangzhou?"

"En." Nangong Yixian nodded.

Zhang Ming was very puzzled, the Demon Sect is present, this world is bound to cause turbulent waves, Nangong Yixian, as a member of the Demon Sect, why did he go to Liangzhou.

"What are you going to Liangzhou for?"

"help."

"Ok?"

Zhang Ming blinked, a little puzzled, help?What can I do for you?Help defend the city?

"Where did senior go?"

"I do not know."

Otherwise, Zhang Ming wouldn't have hesitated for so long at this fork in the road.

"Where's your sword case?"

"Did not bring."

Nangong Yixian also wanted to bring it, but now he can't use the sword box, the conflict between the sword control technique and his own skills almost made him go crazy, and he won't be able to touch the sword box in a short time.

If you go to the northwest, you can go to Chang'an, to Liangzhou, and to the west, you can go to Xuzhou, but Chang'an Zhang Ming will not go.

Nangong Yixian glanced at Zhang Ming, raised his eyebrows and said, "Senior seems to be missing something."

"No problem." Zhang Ming waved his hand.

It doesn't matter to him that the sword intent is gone.

Nangong Yixian felt a little pity, he didn't know what happened in Chang'an City after he left, how could this man with superb swordsmanship lose his sword intent.

"You go, I still have to think about it." Zhang Ming waved his hand.

Nangong Yixian looked indifferent, and said: "If senior doesn't know where to go, why not go with me."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "No."
