Zongwu: A prosperous family starts with marrying Yao Yue

Chapter 962: The Famous King-Slaying Ridge

When he said this, Dao Zhi glanced at Su Xu intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of his eyes.

Obviously, what he meant was that at least it had to be someone like Su Xu.

Before this, some of them had seen Su Xu in action, and he showed no mercy to the masters of the Qin Dynasty.

This alone is enough to win over half the people.

And until today, they have not formally invited Su Xu to join. One can imagine how difficult it is to become a true member of the Mohist School.

The more powerful the person is, the more cautious you need to be.

After all, the Mohist School today can no longer withstand the slightest turmoil.

"Please enjoy your meal, adults!"

Soon a little girl called Xiaonan came over with a big teapot and filled all the small teapots on the table one by one.

"How old are you, little sister?"

At this time, the Snow Girl suddenly leaned down and began to try to chat with the girl in front of her.

At this moment, she showed a amiable smile, coupled with her beautiful face, she was simply incomparable.

Not even the little girl in front of me.

"Sister, I'm twelve years old, you can call me Zhao Nan!"

It was obvious that the girl was also attracted by the beautiful appearance of the Snow Girl and naturally developed a liking for her.

"Haha! The little sister is really pretty. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

"Can you tell me, sister, how long have you been running this shop?"

The Snow Girl praised the little girl and then got down to business.

As soon as these words were spoken, Da Tiechui, Dao Zhi and others around him instantly revealed a look of admiration.

To ask questions from a little girl, perhaps only the snow girl who combines beauty and wisdom can do it.

"Well, my father brought me here when I was very young. I'm not sure how long it has been."

The little girl replied.

"Well, very good, sister has something for you."

As the Snow Girl spoke, she took something out of her sleeve and placed it in the girl's palm.

"Wow, what a beautiful hairpin! Sister, is this for me? But, but father doesn't allow me to ask for other people's things."

When the little girl saw the silver hairpin in her palm, her eyes lit up and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

But in an instant, I felt lost again.

Because he remembered his father who was still busy in the kitchen.

"It's okay. I just think Xiaonan is really beautiful, so I wanted to give you a gift."

"I hope you can be more beautiful when you grow up! Don't worry, I won't ask for anything else. Just take it as soon as possible."

The Snow Girl did not give the little girl any time to think, and while speaking she had already stuffed the hairpin into the girl's pocket.

"Please enjoy your meal!"

As luck would have it, the owner of this restaurant happened to come out from the kitchen.

Seeing his daughter standing next to the guest, the man frowned and asked, "Xiao Nan, what are you doing here? Go to the kitchen and help me add firewood."

"Dear guests, I am so sorry. I am still young, so I am a little ignorant."

The middle-aged man apologized to Su Xu and others, then took his daughter to the kitchen.

Before leaving, the little girl kept looking back, her eyes full of gratitude towards the Snow Girl.

"This hairpin seems to be one you like very much. I didn't expect you would give it to someone else."

Su Xu recalled how he saw the Snow Girl before, and he saw the hairpin on top of her head several times.

But I didn't expect that today the Snow Girl would give it to this little girl.

"Huh? You even discovered this!"

"Tell me, have you been secretly following me?"

When the Snow Girl heard this, she raised her eyebrows, but instead of getting angry, she even started chatting with Su Xu with great interest.

"It was just a coincidence. You think too much!" Su Xu would never admit it and immediately argued.

Xue Nu naturally wouldn't believe this, and she didn't argue with Su Xu.

After all, there are so many masters here.

It's a pity that this scene between the two of them had already made everyone present look strange, as if they had discovered something they didn't know.

But it cannot be confirmed yet.

At night, the three tables were almost filled with various kinds of food. Su Xu and a group of leaders including Dao Zhi Xue Nu, Xiao Yao Zi and Gou Zi sat at one table.

The Mohist disciples who served as Mohist grooms gathered at another table.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they expressed their desire to stay overnight, and the middle-aged boss led them to the second floor.

When we got to the second floor, the lighting was extremely dim.

The entire corridor was silent, with only their group of residents there.

"Is there no one else here?"

Su Xu asked with a frown.

If I hadn't made some preparations in advance, I wouldn't have found anything around me or among the food and wine.

Otherwise, people really wouldn't dare to live here.

"Manager Zhao, can you chat with us for a while?"

Standing at the door, Su Xu suddenly asked with a smile.

"You? Or you guys!"

The middle-aged man frowned and asked uncertainly.

"Of course it's us. Don't worry, we are not those mountain robbers. So there are some things I think you can tell me."

Su Xu went straight to the topic, and this sentence seemed to be what everyone present wanted to know.

"Well, please come in, I'll make you a pot of tea and be right back."

The middle-aged man nodded, agreeing to Su Xu's request.

Not long after, the middle-aged man walked into the house carrying a teapot.

Except for those disciples who were in the next few rooms, Dao Zhi, Gao Jianli and others were all in the house at this moment.

“You may not know that this place was once the famous King-Slaying Ridge.

As the name suggests, many years ago, the bandits here killed a prince who passed by.

Later, the Qin army was sent to suppress the rebellion and all the bandits in the nearby villages were wiped out.

Unfortunately, some bandits still survived and are entrenched here."

Seeing that Su Xu and others were all listening silently and did not interrupt casually.

The man continued, "It is precisely because these people have repeatedly evaded the pursuit of the soldiers over the years that this area has been controlled by them. Almost any large caravan passing by will be robbed by them as soon as they are discovered, and in the end they can only pay to save their lives."

“Then why can you open an inn here?

After hearing this, the Snow Girl frowned slightly and asked directly.

"Me? Haha!"

"It's a long story. I saved an old man!"

"That old man seemed to have a deep connection with the one on the mountain, which is why they allowed me to open an inn at the foot of the mountain. And they promised me that they would not harm anyone who ate or stayed in the inn. Of course, I never told anyone about these things."

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and explained roughly.

"I see. It seems these guys are not as bad as you thought. At least they know how to repay a favor."

Dao Zhi sat on the edge of the bed, got a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and started eating them while talking.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man sighed: "In this world today, who is willing to occupy the mountain and be the king? It's all because they forced it."

Everyone present fell silent after hearing this.

Yes, does becoming a bandit necessarily mean you are a bad person?

What's the difference between these people who are hunted down by the masters of the Qin Dynasty all day long and these people who have become bandits?
