I open an inn in the realm of comprehension

With a bun in his mouth, Qi Chang sat at the table of the Eight Immortals "used for the emperor", listening to Xiao Minglou chatting with the shopkeeper Zhao and other guests, and learned a lot.

For example, Mr. Storyteller came every three days and left at ten noon. The Koi Inn only charged him for his tea and nothing else.Unlike other inns, whether it is playing the piano, singing or storytelling, you have to pay a "venue fee", and the money is worth more than half of the storyteller's reward.

According to Xiao Minglou, Mr. Storyteller has brought excitement to the store, and the customers ordered more tea and snacks than usual. The money they earn is enough, and there is no need to worry about the money for renting the place, which makes people waste a long time. Still can't get a good one.

What's more, he likes to listen to the stories this gentleman told.

Qi Chang once again affirmed that Xiao Minglou is a master who is not short of money.

And act quite generously.

That is to say, Xiao Minglou may have calculated according to the market price for asking him to sell his body for money, or he may have other reasons.

Thinking of this, Qi Chang looked over at Xiao Minglou: "Xiao...Young Master, I have something to tell you."

"I'm not used to saying the three words "Shaodong's family" from your mouth. You are so respectful on the surface, but in fact no one pays attention to it. I think you definitely don't call me that in private. Get rid of those hypocritical titles, and you should call me Minglou!" Xiao Minglou said straight away, squinting his eyes and looking sideways, his lips stained with powdered sugar curled up like red diamonds, "I guess, you want to Tell me, you want to send Miss Shi to the place where she was entrusted, right?"

Qi Chang was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "That's right. Although I... am already a member of your inn, you have promised Miss Shi's family that I will send her to Zhang's house, and then come back to be your waiter."

He is not a talkative person, but when he met Xiao Minglou's lazy and affectionate eyes like autumn water, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "I will definitely come back when the time comes, you don't have to worry about breaking the contract."

Xiao Minglou tilted his head, smiled and stretched out his hand towards him, and leaned towards him.

The body temperature of the slender and white fingers is lower than that of ordinary people. Qi Chang frowned when he held them in his hands. If he hadn't sensed that his pulse was beating well, he might have thought that Xiao Minglou was a seriously injured and dying person.

"Why are your hands so cold?" He watched Xiao Minglou leaning towards him, and for a moment he didn't know whether to push him away or not, and said in a rough voice, "Are you not feeling well? You need to find a doctor." ?”

"I was born this way, so I just got used to it." Xiao Minglou said indifferently, resting his chin on his shoulder, and lazily said, "You help me up, I'm a little weak."

"Where is the discomfort?"

Xiao Minglou saw that his jaw was tense, his body was stiff, but his eyes couldn't hide his worry, so he couldn't help but mischievously smiled: "I've eaten too much, I have some food accumulation, other than that, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere else." He deliberately moved closer He gave Qi Chang two points, and said jokingly, "There is no need to invite a doctor, but you can rub my stomach for me."

Qi Chang slightly imagined the scene of a big man massaging another big man's belly, his eyes were really hot, he didn't know what to say, his face became more serious and serious, and several scars intertwined on his face, When people see it, they want to take a detour.

However, Xiao Minglou dared to hold his shoulder and laugh.

"Not in the right shape! It's still in broad daylight, so shameless..." Hearing someone whispering from a distance, Qi Chang turned his head and saw that it was indeed Shi Yueying's maid, Lan'er. , but this time it wasn't all directed at Qi Chang, on the contrary, Xiao Minglou got more eyes from her.

Xiao Minglou didn't care when he saw it, instead he hooked his hands at Lan'er: "Just now, Ah Chou said that he would escort your young lady, I don't know when you plan to leave, but what else do you need?"

He spoke generously, and his demeanor and tone seemed to have wrapped Shi Yueying's entanglements around her body, which made it seem that Lan'er was too petty and careless, and didn't know good from bad.Although she has short-sightedness and narrow-mindedness, she also knows that what she did is wrong at this moment, so she looks at Xiao Minglou dully, her face flushed red.

Fortunately, her young lady was right next to her, so Shi Yueying hurried over to help her out, and answered Xiao Minglou's question by the way: "Young Master Xiao, to be honest, apart from a carriage, we only have some gold and silver. I don’t know if we can exchange gold and silver for some spiritual stones, and we don’t know the distribution of cities in the cultivation world. We only know that the place we’re going to is the Zhang family in Hancheng, but we don’t have any clue about the location of Hancheng. My father never said it when he was alive. How to find it."

"It's easy," Xiao Minglou snapped his fingers, "Keep the gold and silver for yourself. I told you that if you trade Achou for the house rent, you can find a few spirit stones for you. These spirit stones are enough for you." We’ve walked all the way to Hancheng. As for asking the way, I’ll ask Zhao Da to get you a road map later.”

Zhao Da is the name of shopkeeper Zhao.

Qi Chang noticed that in front of outsiders, Xiao Minglou called shopkeeper Zhao by his first name, but he called him "A Chou".

Qi Chang didn't tell Shi Yueying's master and servant his name, and everyone in Shi's mansion thought that he couldn't remember anything after his amnesia, even though his name was A Chou.Although Master Shi treated him well, there was a voice in the dark telling Qi Chang that that was not where he belonged.After he repays Master Shi's life-saving grace, he will leave the Shi family one day, so there is no need to have a deeper relationship with the Shi family.

At this time, Xiao Minglou seemed to have a tacit understanding with him, calling him A Chou, as if helping him keep a secret.

As soon as Qi Chang thought about it, Xiao Minglou turned his head and blinked, giving him a knowing look.

Qi Chang laughed heartily, Xiao Minglou really knew everything.

The eyebrow-eye lawsuit between the two on this side is still going on, but Shi Yueying on the other side didn't notice it at all, but said with some hesitation: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, but... we seem to have troubled you too much."

"It's okay, it's just a matter of raising my hands." Xiao Minglou picked a piece of crystal pear flower cake from the plate, handed it to Qi Chang's lips, and looked at him with bright eyes, "This is delicious, The signboard of our store, would you like to try it?"

Sitting stiffly on the spot, Qi Chang also saw the uncomfortable expression on Shi Yueying's face. He raised his hand, intending to push Xiao Minglou away, but when he touched the cold wrist, he suddenly changed his mind and took it from his hand. That piece of pear cake: "Thank you, I will do it myself."

He hurriedly threw the pear flower cake into his mouth, chewed it a few times before swallowing it, he didn't dare to savor it carefully, he only felt a sweet but not greasy taste spread in his cheeks, and the tip of his tongue produced fluid.After swallowing the pastry, Qi Chang wiped his mouth, and continued with the words just now: "When will I get Lu Guan Tu, I want to send Miss to Han City as soon as possible."

"The cow chews the peony." Xiao Minglou snorted, and replied, "If it's quick, I can get it this evening, and you can start your journey tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Qi Chang and Shi Yueying spoke together, but Xiao Minglou tapped Qi Chang's lips with his icing sugar fingertips: "You are my man, thank you for what you want." The face of Shi Yueying's master and servant turned even redder.

On that day, Qi Chang rejected Xiao Minglou's proposal to take a stroll around Yucheng, and stayed in the inn all day, either feeding the horses or sitting down to wipe the dagger that he carried with him.

"Your lady took advantage of the light rain to go outside for a walk, but you are like a pile of lumber, not going anywhere, so boring."

Xiao Minglou found him in the backyard of the inn, and regardless of his expensive brocade robe with cloud pattern, he opened his clothes and sat down on the stone steps beside Qi Chang, resting his chin and watching him wipe the dagger that never left his body.

Qi Chang didn't even lift his eyelids: "She is no longer my lady, and you are the local snake here, no one will stop you if you want to go shopping."

"But I want to take you there, isn't it your first time here?"

The tone of these words is light and soft, just like the crystal pear cake that Qi Chang ate before, sweet but not greasy.

Such a coquettish attitude will not make Xiao Minglou look slutty and feminine, maybe because he is really good-looking, and people are always more tolerant of beautiful things, or maybe it is because his eyes are sincere, like a child He was so pure and innocent that one couldn't help but believe his words.

Qi Chang noticed the smile in his tone, and slumped his face coldly.

He also learned about one of Xiao Minglou's bad habits, which is to tease himself.

Qi Chang took a deep breath, decided to ignore his words, and continued to wipe the weapon in his hand.

Xiao Minglou asked him again out of words: "Are you good at using swords? Why don't you use a long sword, but a two-foot short sword? Is there anything special about it?"

"...No, just do it with ease." After Qi Chang finished answering, he remembered that he had just said in his heart to ignore him, but he didn't expect to slap him in the face just a moment later, and his complexion turned dark again.

"Are you angry? Did something I say offend you?" Xiao Minglou stretched out his hand, stroking the criss-crossing scars on his face with his soft and cool fingertips, the force was so light that it made it tickle .

Qi Chang quickly and forcefully grabbed the troublesome hand, his face tensed, "I don't like people to touch their hands."

"What if I want to?"

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Minglou's movements were so fast that the naked eye could hardly catch them. His free hand grabbed the dagger from Qi Chang's hand, and then he surrendered on the spot, his slender body He rotated deftly in the narrow space, and finally lay down on his back with his head resting on Qi Chang's knee.

He looked up at Qi Chang and smiled from bottom to top, like a beauty lying on a pillow, throwing himself into his arms.

But then Xiao Minglou held the short sword in his hand, and with a dexterous hand, pointed the tip of the sword at Qi Chang, and lightly slashed across Qi Chang's chest, the sword wind cut off the belt, revealing his strong muscles chest.

"It's a good sword." After Xiao Minglou said with emotion, he realized that his imprisoned hand had been released.

Qi Chang looked at him sharply, and put one hand on his chest.

What made his heart pound at that moment was not only the sense of crisis brought by the sword wind, but also his admiration and admiration for Xiao Minglou's flexible and graceful body movements.

That made his blood boil.
