Lonely City without Frost

Zuo Wushuang stayed in an inn that was the closest to the best restaurant in the capital. There were still rumors about the embroidered robber in the rivers and lakes, but it was limited to the high-spirited talk in this kind of restaurant. It can be said that he heard the situation every day Same.

When she left Baiyun City, she took away nearly half of the money her shop earned, not to mention, at least enough for her to live until August [-]th.

Naturally, the place under the Son of Heaven is a little different. No matter how much Zuo Wushuang dislikes this place, he has to admit that the prosperity here is different from other places. Every day, he sits in the corner of the first floor of the inn and listens to various quacks talking about this and that. There are many more sources of news than in Baiyun City, of course, how credible it is is unknown.

Apart from the Embroidered Thief recently, the most popular one is the upcoming battle between Baiyun City Lord and Ximen Chuuxue at the Zijin Peak. Zuo Wushuang still couldn't help being irritable every time he heard news related to this matter.

In fact, it is not news, this battle has already been spread all over the world, what those people said is nothing more than their own guesswork.

"I think Ximen Chuuxue is better. You see, these years, there are often news that Ximen Chuuxue killed someone, but Ye Gucheng, although famous all over the world, has no news. As far as this limelight is concerned, it is definitely Ximen Chuuxue. Beat him!"

"What nonsense, Ximen Chuuxue was not well-known when Baiyun City Lord was famous all over the world, and it is said that he has now practiced a peerless sword move called what the hell..."

"Flying Immortal from Heaven?" Another person leaned over and interjected, "Could it be that you have seen it before?"

"I haven't seen it, but with Ye Gucheng's strength, it's definitely conceivable!"

……

Zuo Wushuang couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth when she heard this. She had seen the Flying Immortal before, and she was completely shocked by that move. As a person who also uses a sword, one can imagine how she felt at that time.

If there must be someone to predict the outcome of this battle, no one is more suitable than her. She has almost witnessed Ximen Chuuxue becoming famous all over the world since she was a child, and she has also seen Ye Gucheng's peerless swordsmanship with her own eyes.

But even so, she still had no bottom in her heart.

Excluding the point that she didn't want either of Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue to die, she couldn't find any answer after analyzing it objectively and calmly, probably because her level is not enough to speculate.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of his lips was a bit bitter.

"What's the use of arguing anymore, anyway, it will be August [-]th soon, and then we will know who is more powerful. Everyone is talking so excitedly, as if it is you who are about to fight!"

The girl who said this was the daughter of the owner of the house. She was only eleven or twelve years old, but she was even more eccentric than Ah Jiu, and could always silence a group of big men.

Zuo Wushuang shook the flagon in his hand, seeing her look of disdain suddenly amused.

Probably seeing the mocking and nostalgic expression on her face, the girl ran over from the center of the lobby and looked at her suspiciously, "... who are you?"

"Am I not a customer of this shop?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you kept laughing like this when they were talking just now!" He put his hands on his hips aggressively like a teapot, "Are you here to smash the scene!"

"Aren't you the one who stopped them from talking?" Zuo Wushuang put away his mocking expression, and squinted at the quiet tables, "I didn't stop them."

"You..." The child probably doesn't need a reason to see who is upset, and it is even more uncomfortable to be refuted like this now, "Dare you say that you didn't try to tell them to shut up just now?"

"Yes." Zuo Wushuang admitted frankly, "Then why do you want them to shut up? Are you asking me for trouble?"

The girl choked for a moment, and then said very righteously, "Who wants to trouble you! I just don't want others to talk about Ximen Chuuxue like this!"

——What, what? !

Almost crushing the jug in his hand, Zuo Wushuang managed to stabilize his emotions, and couldn't help muttering that this guy's recent luck is really unimaginable...

"It turns out that you like him..." Although she was irritated by the decisive battles in her ears, she still wanted to tease the girl, "Shall I introduce you?"

"Hmph! No need! I know where he is!" As soon as the words finished, the girl realized that she seemed to have slipped her mouth, but the action of covering her mouth immediately betrayed her.

"Where is Ximen Chuuxue?!"

Suddenly another person spoke in the lobby. She looked around and saw a bearded man with an ax in his hand. He repeated imposingly, "Where is Ximen Chuuxue?"

The girl leaned closer to her table in fear, "Why should I tell you!"

Zuo Wushuang crossed his chest and watched the big man approaching step by step as if he was about to question him, and calmly exerted force on the chopsticks in his hand.

"Why are you looking for Ximen Chuuxue?"

The big man glanced at her, then turned his head with disdain, "I'm asking the person who knows the whereabouts of Ximen Chuuxue!"

The girl shrank her body and seemed to be very scared, "I just said nonsense!"

"is it?"

Zuo Wushuang slightly raised his eyes to look at the ax in the man's hand, and just before he made a move, the chopsticks in his hand flew straight out and hit his wrist.

"Ah!" He didn't expect her to attack suddenly, he was almost angry immediately, and he was about to attack with the ax in his hand.

The girl immediately ran behind her and hid. She just frowned and stood up, "If I didn't make a move just now, are you going to put this heavy thing on the child's neck?"

Hearing her cold and emotionless tone, he was suddenly a little scared, but he still had the courage to answer, "So what! Why didn't she tell me where Ximen Chuuxue is?"

"Want to know where Ximen Chuuxue is?" She rolled her eyes, "In this case, you haven't answered my question, so it's not an exaggeration for me to put this sword on your neck, right?"

There was a clang sound, and in a split second, a sword appeared on the big man's neck, and the ax in his hand had already fallen to the ground.

"I'll ask you again, why are you looking for Ximen Chuuxue?"

"He killed my brother, I want to seek revenge from him!" Although his life was threatened by the sword, he still spoke forcefully, "Even if you kill me, I can't stop looking for him."

"Heh, you can't even catch my sword, if you ask you to go to Ximen Chuuxue, you will just die." Zuo Wushuang laughed coldly, "I never stop people who want to die."

Seeing her put away her sword, everyone in the hall was slightly relieved, and she turned and sat down without paying attention, as if the hostility just now had never existed.

"careful!"

In fact, Zuo Wushuang already felt the murderous intent the moment she turned around, but she never cared about it.

Everyone in the hall opened their eyes wide, as if they saw some monster, but she just swung her sword back casually, and there was a bloodstain on the neck of the big man.

"I gave you a chance."

The wind seemed to have stopped blowing at this moment, and the girl who had originally sounded out to remind her shrank even more. When she shook off all the blood on the sword, she immediately stood up and ran away from her.

Looking at the girl's terrified eyes, Zuo Wushuang still didn't have any big reaction, just thinking that he could drink quietly next time.

"Hanhai Sword Master!" Someone in the crowd yelled such a sentence, and then the lobby seemed to explode.

"It turns out that she is Zuo Wushuang, the rumored number one female swordsman in Jianghu, and she really lives up to the title of Fourteen Frost and Cold States."

"If she wasn't so powerful, would she be able to become friends with Ximen Chuuxue?"

"Nonsense, everyone in the world knows that they have been friends for many years, and Ximen Chuuxue has only been famous for a few years."

"In that case, the friendship between the number one female swordsman in Jianghu and Ximen Chuuxue is really deep."

Zuo Wushuang was sitting there drinking wine, she already had her own calculations in her heart, she shouldn't have done such a thing as killing people at the emperor's feet, but her own rules would never be broken because of the region.

She was more concerned about why the girl knew Ximen Chuuxue than the threatening man.

But it was obvious that the young girl couldn't avoid herself now.

She didn't see that the girl who ran back in panic all the way stopped immediately after leaving her sight, and then said to the people inside the curtain in a relaxed tone, "Report to the master, I believe that Zuo Wushuang's affairs in the capital have been completed." out."

The people inside the curtain nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, you know what to do next?"

"Yes, subordinates know."

"Okay, go down, just do as I say, she won't doubt you."

Maybe Zuo Wushuang, who was in a calm state, might find something wrong in this inexplicable situation, but it's a pity that she has no time to think about what's wrong now that only the two of them are going to have a decisive battle in her mind.

She only regarded it as a small episode, and continued to live in this inn without any grievances until the ninth day of August.

The fact that Lu Xiaofeng broke the red shoes organization has spread all over the world, and No. [-] was not surprised by the result. She just twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard the news, imagining what it would be like when Lu Xiaofeng knew that she had given up on the bet. what expression.

On the ninth day of August, there are still six days before the decisive battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, Zuo Wushuang eats, sleeps and drinks every day, so naturally he will not remember the date wrongly.

The reason why he cares so much about this day is because it is his birthday. When he was picked up by the master, his birth date was clearly written in his swaddle, nothing else.

Before joining the WTO, Master would go fishing for her every year at this time, trying to give her a better birthday than usual.However, since leaving, every year at this time, she just finds a wine shop for a night of drinking by herself.

This year is no exception, but luckily the inn she chose before has a good location, even if she is drunk, she can go straight back to her room to sleep.

Since the last time someone was killed here, the news about Yijian Frost and Cold Fourteen States in the capital has spread, and there are many people who came to make trouble, but she solved them all.

But the rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes, there will never be a lack of people who are interested in gossip and trifles, even if she shakes Kyushu with a sword, even if she is so cold that almost no one dares to go up and talk to her, there will never be fewer rumors.

Many people in Jianghu knew that she was Ximen Chuuxue's friend, but it was a bit inexplicable that the incident in Baiyun City was also dug up.

Zuo Wushuang has never hurt anyone since she heard about herself and Ye Gucheng once. Although she was too lazy to sort out the relationship between them, she could still feel something faintly.

The decisive battle was still six days away, and Zuo Wushuang, who had planned to drink a good night of wine, heard new news that night before he even had a pot of wine.

——The decisive battle between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng was postponed for one month, but no one knew the reason.
