When they calmed down, Yang Xixue realized that Liu Lingyan had been holding her hand all the time, and she had forgotten to withdraw her hand, but now it would seem awkward to withdraw her hand suddenly, so she had to wait for the opportunity to find a way to withdraw her hand Holding his hand, he slowly fell half a body behind Liu Lingyan, preventing him from seeing his shy and smiling face.

Liu Lingyan came to this small town for the first time, and just now he followed the crowds and didn't know his way. Now he is slowly finding his way back to the inn based on his memory, and he didn't notice Yang Xixue's little behavior.

With Liu Lingyan's efforts to lead the way, they finally saw the inn. Yang Xixue also took the opportunity to let go of Liu Lingyan's hand, pointed to the inn in the distance and said, "Here we are, there." Then he walked quickly.

Liu Lingyan withdrew his hand regretfully, and then he realized that he had been holding Yang Xixue's hand. He looked at Yang Xixue, seeing that he didn't seem to realize it, so he felt relieved. He was afraid that Yang Xixue would mind and feel sick. Fortunately, he didn't. He quickly followed Yang Xixue. He still had the touch of Yang Xixue's hand in his hand. The palm was warm, but the fingers were cold. It was soft and smooth, a little skinny, and the knuckles had some calluses from sword practice, but it didn't hinder the overall feeling. There was a feeling that he didn't want to let go after holding it. He clenched his hand tightly, as if he was holding that feeling again , but with the leaving hand, the feeling became weaker and weaker, and gradually disappeared, leaving only the memory of the touch in my mind.

When they entered the inn, they saw Situ Nuo and the others who were sitting there walking over. Situ Nuo made a bow, slightly bowed his waist, lowered his head and said solemnly: "Sorry, my lord, there is something wrong with the younger ones. I didn't protect the two lords properly." Let the two sons be swept away by the crowd, please punish me." The other three also lowered their heads.

Liu Lingyan helped Situ Nuo straight up and said: "It's nothing, there are so many people, it's easy to be washed away, we're fine, you don't have to blame yourself, come on, we haven't had dinner yet, we're hungry, so we'll just have dinner here Let's have a meal, and go back to your room to rest when you're done." Liu Lingyan ate some snacks just now, but he wasn't really hungry, but just walked them down the steps.

Situ Nuo also knew that Liu Lingyan didn't take this matter to heart, so he walked down the steps and said, "Yes, they are all hungry, please, my lord."

They chose a large square table, with two people sitting on each side. Of course, Liu Lingyan and Yang Xixue sat on one side, and the other two sat on one side. Xi Xue was in the middle of the seat, and then asked: "What do the guest officers want?"

After Liu Lingyan ordered six dishes, the waiter asked again: "Do you want tea or wine?"

After hearing this, Yang Xixue immediately got used to it and said: "I want Pu'er." After finishing speaking, she realized that she was too rude, looked at Liu Lingyan and the others, and saw that they were not unhappy, and said: "Sorry, I decided on my own, you want What to drink?"

Liu Lingyan and the others said they didn't care, so they ordered Pu'er, Xiao Er went to place an order, and soon came over with a pot of Pu'er and six cups, put down the tea, and then walked away, Situ Nuo glanced at the pot of Pu'er , and said to Yang Xixue: "Does Mr. Yang also like to drink Pu'er? Mr. Liu also likes it very much. He will definitely drink it every time he eats. You really hit it off."

Yang Xixue smiled and said: "Yes, that's a coincidence." In fact, he didn't particularly like to drink Pu'er, nor did he have the habit of drinking Pu'er with meals, but because Liu Lingyan was around, he naturally ordered Pu'er. The habit he developed when he was in the Liu Mansion, he didn't expect it to still be there now, but luckily it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, and Liu Lingyan didn't notice anything.

The time is getting late, and today's Xianglong Dance is over, and some people who went to watch it before finishing their dinner like them have come to various inns to eat, and the inn where Liu Lingyan is located has also begun to have more people , there was a table next to them who had just sat down, and the guests who had just finished ordering started chatting, I don’t know if they were happy, their voices were a bit loud, and Liu Lingyan and the others could hear them clearly when they were sitting next to them, only listening to them praising the wonderful dragon dance Ah, this trip was not in vain. When it comes to their travels, it turns out that they are merchants, businessmen who buy and sell everywhere. Liu Lingyan and the others just listened to what they heard, and didn't really listen to what they said until they said When it came to the matter about Shaanxi, Liu Lingyan and the people at the table immediately pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

There were three people at the table of the merchant. They seemed to be colleagues who came together by chance. They should have known each other for a long time, and they were completely familiar with each other. One of the fatter ones suddenly sighed: "This place is really lively and peaceful. It's not like Maxing Town, Shaanxi. It was terrible, and I felt uncomfortable just looking at it.”

Another fatter businessman asked, "What's going on there?"

The little chubby businessman shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "Some time ago, I went there to do business, and the local residents lived even worse than before, making it difficult to do business there." He suddenly lowered his voice and said: " Obviously, it was fine in the past. The residents only need to respect the officers and soldiers, and they will have a good life. But now, not only need to honor the officers and soldiers, but also pay protection fees to the bandits. You said that the common people have difficulties in their own lives. Yes, there is so much money to pay! If they can’t pay, they will be messed up and their money-making tools will be destroyed.”

The fat businessman frowned and asked, "Where are those officers and soldiers? Aren't they filial?"

The little fat businessman lowered his voice even more than before, and replied shamelessly: "Those officers and soldiers? Hmph, it's already good that they don't bully the people, but it's a dream to expect them to protect the people!"

The only businessman with a normal body who was not involved in this topic all the time also suppressed his voice: "Yes! I have also been there to do business, and when I saw the officers and soldiers on the street and saw the bandits at the end of the street, they immediately turned around and left. They are terrified of the bandits, and if they count on them, they might as well rely on the bandits for peace of mind."

After the normal-sized businessman finished speaking, the three of them shook their heads and sighed for the poor Maxing Town resident. Seeing that the atmosphere had become gloomy, Big Fatty spoke another word, and stopped talking about this heavy topic.

Although the businessmen lowered their voices later, Liu Lingyan and the others all knew martial arts, and they were not bad at all. They were next door and could hear them clearly, so each of them looked very ugly, and they wanted to do it to the local officials. What?No wonder the bandits are so rampant, even their irrelevant court officials feel ashamed and have no appetite. They stop their hands and put down their chopsticks, secretly determined to completely solve the bandit problem and return the local people a comfortable place. Liu Ling said: "After breakfast tomorrow, we will start our journey. We are also tired today, so let's all go back and rest."
