In the evening, Shen Menghan and Xie Chenyan had dinner in Wenqu Building, there was a fish during the dinner, Xie Chenyan said mysteriously: "This is the koi in the back garden."

Shen Menghan paused with his chopsticks: "This is not a koi."

Then he said to Xie Chenyan: "The koi in the garden is the favorite of Qu Zhong's sisters, don't worry about eating them."

Xie Chenyan stuck out his tongue and said, "How do you know it's not a koi?"

Shen Menghan knocked on his head and said helplessly, "Eat your meal."

While Xie Chenyan was picking rice into his mouth, he raised his eyes and looked at Shen Menghan thoughtfully.

He still couldn't imagine that this person would go into the water to catch fish and climb trees to hunt birds.

Shen Menghan covered his eyes helplessly and said, "How can I eat if you stare at me like this?"

Xie Chenyan said strangely: "You can do whatever you want, I am willing to watch whatever you do."

Shen Menghan sighed deeply, covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Xiao Xie, don't you like to see so many beautiful sisters in our building?"

Xie Chenyan said: "I like it."

Xin Zi said: "Then why do you only look at our young master?"

They naturally hope that Shen Menghan can have someone who is knowledgeable and interesting by his side. Xie Chenyan's thoughts on Shen Menghan are also obvious to her, but Xie Chenyan is young and ignorant of love, so she also has a few words of advice.

Xie Chenyan said calmly, "Because he is prettier than you."

Xinzi originally wanted to clarify his thoughts, but unexpectedly, he was distracted by a sentence: "How does the beauty of a man compare with the beauty of a woman?"

Xie Chenyan thought deeply and said: "It is indeed so."

Xin Zi said: "Even if they are all women, they each have their own merits, and each has its own beauty."

Xie Chenyan was distracted by her, so she stopped staring at Shen Menghan, nodded vigorously and said, "That's right."

For example, Xinzi is gentle and gentle, sister Duanduan is dignified and serious, and Liangyue is lively and beautiful.

But Shen Menghan... was so beautiful that he couldn't describe it in words.

After dinner, Xinzi asked: "My lord, do you want to arrange a carriage for you to go back to Yin Pavilion?"

Shen Menghan said: "No need, I live in the city tonight, and Mr. Zhou will come to the city tomorrow."

Xie Chenyan rolled his eyes.

Shen Menghan patted his head and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Xie Chenyan said frankly: "I want to hang out with you."

Shen Menghan paused, then said with a smile: "Then let's go."

He stood up, pulled Xie Chenyan up from the drum stool, and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Xie Chenyan turned around and asked Xinzi: "Sister Xinzi, Liangyue once said that there is a night market in Jinling City at night, where is it?"

Xin Zi said: "It's on the bank of the Qinhuai River. It's right after you go out of Wenqulou."

Xie Chenyan looked at Shen Menghan expectantly, Shen Menghan laughed and said, "Let's go."

Xie Chenyan woke up like a dream, and hurriedly tugged at Shen Menghan and said: "I heard that there is a miscellaneous show in Liangyue Road Night Market."

Shen Menghan paused.

Most of the miscellaneous operas in the night market were from the rivers and lakes with ordinary martial arts skills, and most of the people watching were ordinary people in the city. Although Xie Chenyan's martial arts skills were not superb, he could barely squeeze into the ranks of first-class masters. If he saw those miscellaneous operas, I'm afraid I will be disappointed.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I'll take you to another place."

He asked Xin Zijian to change his face with Xie Chenyan, and changed into a brocade robe embroidered with gold and silver, but changed Xie Chenyan into an ordinary green shirt, pretending to be a school boy, Shen Menghan pulled him over, looked up and down Some explanations: "The dark guard won't show up in idle time, only the two of us go out, so that it won't look weird."

Xie Chenyan said obediently: "It doesn't matter."

Shen Menghan smiled slightly, and couldn't help stroking the two buns he just combed out, the restless strand of hair curled up again, stomping his feet and said: "Don't touch it anymore! I finally combed it! "

Shen Menghan had no choice but to withdraw her hand.

"I was too small to begin with, but with such a dress, she looks even smaller." Xin Zi smiled while tidying up: "Did Xiao Xie not change much from childhood to adulthood?"

Shen Menghan smiled and said, "It hasn't changed much."

Xinzi gave him a strange look.

Shen Menghan regretted his slip of the tongue, and said vaguely: "When I saw him last year, I thought he was small."

But Xie Chenyan didn't listen to their words at all, once out of Wenqulou, he stretched out the pair of buns in front of Shen Menghan, and said embarrassingly: "If you want to touch it, you can touch it now."

Shen Menghan touched it with a smile, took out a fan from his bosom and said, "Let's go."

Xie Chenyan followed quickly, and couldn't help reaching out to test the temperature on his hand, wondering: "Brother Menghan, are you hot?"

Those slender fingers were clearly still cold.

Shen Menghan sighed softly, put away the fan and held it in his hand.

Xie Chenyan chattered endlessly: "Why don't I go back and get you a hand stove?"

Shen Menghan couldn't bear it anymore, he tapped his head with his fan helplessly and said: "Talk too much."

Xie Chenyan stuck out his tongue.

The people around Shen Menghan were extremely careful with him, although Xie Chenyan was always forgetful, but he was the one who cared the most about him.

Shen Menghan took Xie Chenyan to a gambling house.

Xinzi had sent a servant to arrange a private room in advance, and as soon as Shen Menghan brought Xie Chenyan into the gambling house, someone directly led them into the inner room.

A drum was erected at the entrance of the gambling house, and in the center of the courtyard was a ring, surrounded by huge cables tied to river boats. Xie Chenyan looked over curiously, and asked Shen Menghan in a low voice: "Is this a fence for raising cattle and sheep? Why do you want it?" In the patio?"

Shen Menghan didn't answer: "You will know in a while."

This patio is connected to the lobby, but the so-called elegant room is just that the rooms on the upper floor are not separated by doors and windows, and the view to the patio stage is also transparent.

For the sake of convenience, they couldn't completely separate themselves from ordinary guests, so when they entered the gambling house, there were still many sideways glances in the lobby. Fortunately, they had changed their appearance a little and did not cause a commotion.

As soon as Shen Menghan and Xie Chenyan took their seats, the waiter in the gambling house handed out name tags and chips.

Xinzi heard that they were going to come to such a place where fish and dragons mixed together, so he asked the boy to bring tea to cook, and then called the legs in the gambling shop to buy delicate snacks from a nearby shop, which is often served in the gambling shop. Honorable guest, it's not surprising that you have your legs dedicated to this task.

Xie Chenyan curiously picked up the lottery and asked, "Is this a domino? How do you play it?"

He always likes to sit on the ground, and Shen Menghan's bedroom is covered with ground dragons, and he doesn't control him on weekdays, but he has brought this problem to this day.

Fortunately, there is a thick Persian blanket in this elegant room. Now that the weather is getting warmer, he has a good foundation and will not get sick easily. Of course, Shen Menghan will not talk too much. The font size said: "This is the name. After a while, these people will go to draw lots, and those who are drawn will compete on that platform. If you bet on who wins, you will hand over the lottery and bet to this waiter."

He pointed to the huge drum at the door and said: "When the martial artist comes to the stage, you can place your bets after the drum is played. After one stick of incense, if you hit it again, the winnings will be halved. After another half stick of incense, you will play the drum again, and the winnings will be halved again. Stop betting after four drums."

Xie Chenyan seemed to understand, nodded, then looked down at the lottery in his hand.

The martial artists here are better than street performers. Although they are not masters, it’s just that it’s more interesting to increase the bet, and secondly, the winners here will get a lot of share. Or for other reasons, if you come here to play for one night, you will also earn a lot of money.

Zhao Yuemen has many enemies in Jianghu, and he also deliberately asked Xie Chenyan to learn more about the kung fu of these sects.

Xie Chenyan was eager to try, "Just hit the first drum and place your bet!"

Shen Menghan smiled slightly and said, "Yes."

Just as he was talking, the drum rang "dong dong" for a round, Xie Chenyan stood up "crashly", Shen Menghan held him down and said: "This is the Jingtang drum."

"Oh." Xie Chenyan replied and sat down again, looking at the ring room curiously.

A bearded man and a young swordsman came to the stage first.

The waiter sang: "Hedong Chaowu, to Mingzhou Lu Mian."

After a round of drumming, the two had just gained momentum on the stage, Xie Chenyan hurriedly found Lu Mian from the name tag, grabbed all the chips indiscriminately, and handed them to the waiter.

The waiter probably rarely saw such an impatient guest, his complexion was a little strange, he secretly raised his eyes to see Shen Menghan's reaction, saw that he had no intention of stopping before accepting him, and sang: "Shougu, Tianzi No. [-] room, pressure Lu Mian."

As soon as the two fought, Xie Chenyan stared intently at the hall, Shen Menghan frowned slightly: This Lu Mian's swordsmanship is slightly similar to Zhixing Palace.

The Weaving Star Palace was destroyed by Xie Mingzhao and Xie Rou 17 years ago.Most of the surviving disciples are still young, so the Weaving Star Sword Technique has almost been lost.

He went through it in his mind, and he was convinced that the surviving disciples of Weaving Star Palace did not have the surname Lu, let alone people from Mingzhou.

If he met this person in Beizhao, just like the Qi family on Jingyangyuan, he would not be surprised. After all, he was deprived of martial arts shortly after he took over as the leader of the martial arts alliance, and those who were dissatisfied with him in the martial arts alliance There are many people, and he is from Nanyan, Ye Duanduan hangs a pot to help the world, and doesn't take part in the battles in the Jianghu.

But Ran Ziyun's methods were ruthless, and a descendant similar to Zhixing Palace appeared in Mingzhou. There was no news about him here, and Shen Menghan's brows could not help but frown.

This is not a martial art or grand event, so Lu Mian probably just wants to make some money.This casino dares to open such a game, it is natural that some domesticated masters are in charge, and the people on the stage are all people who have been screened and have comparable martial arts. If the martial arts are too high, naturally there is no possibility of playing here, but Shen Menghan faintly I feel that Lu Mian's strength may be more than that.

That bearded man is like this, from the perspective of ordinary people, they can only be regarded as evenly matched, but with Shen Menghan's current eyesight, he can't clearly see Lu Mian's internal skills at all.

Although Xie Chenyan was in a hurry to place his bet, he was still nervous before the real winner. The Yashi faced the lobby with a tulle curtain, but he had already been pulled up to see clearly, and he knelt on the fence forward.

The waiter was afraid that he would fall, and just about to step forward to stop him, Shen Menghan said softly: "It's okay."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xie Chenyan quickly turned his head to look at him, the elegant room was not as bright as the lobby, making his eyes dark and black.

Shen Menghan asked: "See what is famous?"

Xie Chenyan and You Rongyan said: "I guessed it right!"

Knowing that he might not be able to explain why, Shen Menghan nodded slightly and boasted: "Xiao Xie is really amazing."

After another three drumbeats, Lu Mian knocked Chao Wu off the stage. Lu Mian cupped his fists and said, "Accept."

A martial artist only played this one game in one night, Lu Mian withdrew, waited for the accountant to settle the game, received the reward, and then he could leave.

Shen Menghan recruited the hidden guards, and softly ordered: "Follow him."

Xie Chenyan looked back at them, but there was a newcomer on the field, he was attracted to the attention, and turned his head to look at the two martial artists on the stage.
