Lonely City without Frost

Because she was the one who was poisoned, Zuo Wushuang, who has always disliked being indebted to others, decisively took out a bottle of medicine that Ximen had given her from his bag after Ye Gucheng was helpless with the poisonous needle.

"This medicine was given to me by Ximen. He is a rare expert in detoxification in the world. As long as the poison is not added with special medicine, he should be able to detoxify it."

Ye Gucheng just hesitated for a while, then took it, and ordered the deputy governor to help the commander on the ground to subdue him.

"Thank you, Miss Zuo, for your righteous rescue today."

She raised her eyebrows, "The city lord is not the right person to say these words, so let's just avoid it."

"..."

"After all, it was because of me that he was hurt. I have paid back what I owe you." Zuo Wushuang put the bottle back into his arms, "Don't bother me anymore."

Ye Gucheng originally wanted to say something more, but after seeing her decision to go, he still didn't speak.

Just as she was thinking that it would be even more difficult to complete the bet, she suddenly felt that her act of desperately trying to save face and prepare to leave was simply making herself feel guilty.

Right now, at the third watch, Zuo Wushuang took the burden and left the other courtyard, only to find that he had nowhere to go.

No matter how beautiful the moonlight is, she is not in the mood to appreciate it, the cold wind is blowing, and the only feeling is that it is really a technical job to save face.

After wandering on the beach in the middle of the night, she was in a trance and was planning to find a way out in the city. Every time this happened, she was very envious of Ximen's wealth. Wherever she went to kill someone, she could bring a bunch of followers to set up a tent. Those substandard inns.

The news that Ye Gucheng had caught the real murderer spread throughout the city after dawn, and naturally the suspicion on her was also cleared.

Even so, she still ran into walls everywhere in Baiyun City.

"...Miss Zuo, forget it, the shop can't afford a master like you."

Seeing the young lady in front of her repeating this sentence for an unknown number of times, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and after a while she suppressed the irritability in her heart and continued, "...There is no way a gambling house doesn't need thugs."

"But your throat was blocked with blood as soon as you made a move, where are we going to collect money?" The young man in the gambling shop tried to explain with a smile, "To tell you the truth, there is probably no one in Baiyun City who would dare to ask you to work. Well, girl, you should find another way to make a living."

——... This day can't be passed!

Although she was upset, she couldn't just turn the table here and start killing. She clenched the sword several times and let go, and finally turned around and left.

When passing by the biggest restaurant in Baiyun City, she still couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Just kidding, no matter how powerful a swordsman is, it is impossible not to eat.

She slandered her impulsiveness, but her actions were still not slow at all. If she was asked to go back to the other courtyard in Ye Gucheng at this time, she would definitely not do it.

It's just that if this continues, she will definitely become the first swordsman in the world to be starved to death.

If this kind of thing gets out, it will definitely surpass Yijian Shuanghan's reputation in the Fourteen States in no time.Thinking of this situation, Zuo Wushuang couldn't help shivering.

--Terrible.

Fortunately, God did not completely deny her a way to survive. At noon the next day, when she was about to go to the shallow sea to catch fish and grill them, a troop of soldiers trotted over.

With a friend like Ximen who pays attention to image at any time and anywhere, at least she has acquired a little habit, and immediately rectified her figure and restored the noble and glamorous image left by them.

"Miss Zuo, the city lord welcomes you."

"...what's the matter?"

"The city lord didn't say it clearly, but just ordered us to invite Miss Zuo."

"……I see."

She hesitated in her heart whether she needed to go, but she immediately nodded shamelessly when she saw the expressions on the faces of the soldiers who refused to let her go.

This is her first time to Baiyun Villa.

Across a rockery, the difference is not so big.

If the furnishings and layout of the other courtyard are described as exquisite, this Baiyun Villa is magnificent.It obviously doesn't have a taste of resplendent and resplendent, but it can make people feel the aura of the master.

She remembered the legends about him that she heard on the road, and she silently recited the phrase "Yellow River is far above the white clouds" several times, and suddenly felt that she understood a little bit why there was such a name.

In comparison, he was indeed a bit too petty.

This should be the hall where banquets are usually held. Ye Gucheng has not arrived yet, but the food and drinks are already prepared, especially the smell of aged bamboo leaves from the wine jar beside the table, which makes her who has not drunk good wine for a long time People are extremely itchy.

No matter if it is a man or a woman, if there is any paranoid love for wine, then more or less it will make mistakes a few times because of this stuff.

Even Lu Xiaofeng is no exception.

Of course she frowned reflexively when she thought of the name.

"I haven't treated Miss Zuo well when she came to Baiyun City. Lin Dutong's injury is no longer serious. He insisted on rewarding Miss Zuo well."

"..." She almost slipped and fell when she heard these words, thinking that the reason this person gave was too forced, but it didn't take long before she readjusted her emotions, "...I owe him my life , it should be rescued, and the medicine was given by Simon, not me."

"It is rumored that Miss Zuo and Ximen Chuuxue are close friends."

In the past, whenever someone talked to her like this, she only thought that they wanted to get to know Ximen Fuxue through her, but this time it was different.

Ye Gucheng, even if he talks to you in an ordinary tone, it will only make you feel aloof and untouchable. When he mentions Ximen Chuuxue, he will definitely not use the same reason as those boring people.

"I am also a swordsman. Although I have never fought against the city lord, the city lord's best swordsmanship is indeed not for nothing."

"So, compared to Ximen Chuuxue?" He sat down at the table, poured two glasses of wine, and stopped talking.

Zuo Wushuang pursed her lips and thought for a long time, but in the end there was still no answer, "...I don't know."

--do not know.

This is the best answer and the most correct answer.

Originally thought that he would be disappointed because of this, but she didn't want to see the completely opposite expression on his face, she was stunned for a moment, "Could it be that the city lord wants to compete with Ximen?"

"If you have this opportunity, you must compete." He nodded, and the cold breath on his body was much less when he said this, "If I can compete with Ximen Chuuxue, it is naturally worth it for me to learn swords for so many years .”

"Heh." She sat down opposite him, picked up another glass and sipped the wine, and tasted the best green bamboo leaves in her mouth. It was a taste she hadn't tasted for a long time, and for a moment she even forgot to ask him what he wanted from her. up.

"To find Miss Zuo to come here today is actually asking for something."

"...Is there anything I want to ask for?!"

—Would the Lord Baiyun ask her for something? !

The first reaction almost spit out the wine in his mouth, but it's a pity that there is a white-clothed swordsman who looks cold and indifferent sitting opposite him. No Frost is no exception.

After she calmed down, she spoke again, "Dare to ask the city lord... what is it?"

"I have a distant cousin who has admired Miss Zuo for a long time, and wants to learn swordsmanship from Miss Zuo."

It was so cold that she almost flipped the table regardless of her image, Zuo Wushuang resisted the urge to twitch the corners of her mouth, "...City Master, are you kidding me?"

"City Lord Ye is not joking, I really want to learn swords under Miss Zuo's sect."

Following the voice, she saw that the person speaking was a young man in green clothes, standing at the entrance of the hall and looking at her with a smile on his face.

"...Isn't the swordsmanship of City Lord Baiyun a hundred times better than mine?" She looked at the imposing young man and said coldly, "I promised my master that I will only accept one apprentice in my life."

"Miss Zuo, are you refusing me?"

She nodded, "Young master doesn't seem to be someone who doesn't understand swords at all, and I don't think I must be the master's candidate."

"Miss Zuo is too self-effacing. Besides you, who else can take on the title of the number one female swordsman in the Jianghu?"

"...You don't need to say anymore, I only accept one apprentice in my life, even if that apprentice is no longer a good one, there is only this one, and there is nothing else."

But her words were so resolute, the expression on the boy's face remained unchanged, he was smiling and didn't care at all.

"If the city lord invited me here today just for this matter, then I will leave. At most, I won't be able to stay in Baiyun City and find another way to make a living. It's just that it's impossible for me to be an apprentice."

Ye Gucheng didn't speak, it was the boy who said, "I know Miss Zuo is looking for a way out in Baiyun City, wouldn't it be a good idea to be my teacher?"

"..."

"Besides, Miss Zuo's bet with Daxia Lu may not be completed in a short period of time, right?"

--land!Small!phoenix!

She wished she could chop the person in front of her and the table into pieces. Before she could recover from the anger of the leaked content of the bet, the young man said again, "I think Miss Zuo doesn't want any more people besides Lu Daxia. Mr. Sikong and people other than you and me know the content of this bet, right?"

"……what do you want?"

"I just want to worship Miss Zuo as my teacher."

"...It's impossible." Her tone was still firm, "My apprentice's name is Hua Chongjiu, and it will only be Hua Chongjiu."

"Then, I'm afraid I can't keep the content of that bet a secret."

She tried her best to restrain her urge to draw the sword, "...you..."

They couldn't stop arguing, but Ye Gucheng was the most leisurely sitting there drinking wine, what was going on in his mind, Zuo Wushuang didn't know, she even wondered if he had already known about her bet with Lu Xiaofeng, and suddenly I feel ashamed.

"If Miss Zuo insists on not accepting a second apprentice, may I just ask you to guide me in the next few moves."

"..."

Zuo Wushuang, who has always been domineering and murderous without blinking an eye, tasted the feeling of being threatened for the first time. After cursing Lu Xiaofeng [-] times in her heart, she still shamelessly agreed.

——Otherwise, who will tell her how to face Ye Gucheng's expression!
