[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

The atmosphere in the lobby of the inn is mysterious, and the rich porridge and rice on the table are still steaming, but at this time, because the guests have already dispersed, no one tastes it.

The shopkeeper has long since disappeared, leaving only a waiter hiding behind the counter trembling, wanting to run away but not daring to move because of the shopkeeper's instructions before fleeing.

He plucked up the courage to sneak out and look at the two groups of people in the lobby who were at war with swords. He couldn't help thinking that he was unlucky. He hoped that when these high-ranking gangsters fought, they would not damage anything. Otherwise, compensation would be the best. There was no compensation, and he didn't have the guts to ask for it.

When Liu Yunxing sensed something was wrong and ran downstairs, what he saw were the two groups of people standing in the lobby of the inn who were not giving in to each other, and the tense atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out.

Among them a group of people were dressed in the costumes of Badao Mountain Villa's disciples, and the leader was Liu Yunxing's junior brother Liu Qing, who was quite acquainted with each other on weekdays. At this time, he had his saber out of its sheath, and he was glaring at the person opposite him with an angry face.

But the group of people opposite him were all dressed in dark blue costumes, with half a silver mask covering their faces, and they could be identified as disciples of the Tang Sect at a glance. The receivers were all set up and aimed at the Ba Dao disciple on the opposite side.

"Oh, why, you provoked first, but now you are full of anger, I don't know, I thought it was me, Tang Qingling, who took the initiative to trouble you Ba Dao!"

The one who made the sound was a young woman standing in front of the Tangmen disciples with her back turned. She was dressed like a Tangmen disciple, with half of her face covered by a mask. At this time, a mocking smile curled up on her lips, and she folded her arms around her chest. Standing there lazily, the thousand receivers hanging on his waist gleamed faintly and coldly.Although she seemed to be full of flaws, she could tell from the floor tiles that were being stepped on slightly that if the other party made a move, she could kill at any time.

Originally planning to quietly observe Liu Yunxing, who did not move, but after hearing the woman's self-reported name, she couldn't help feeling bad in her heart, and stopped watching from the sidelines. She jumped to the side of her junior brother Liu Qing, clasped her fists at the woman surnamed Tang and said: "I don't know if Miss Tang is here, but Yun Xing is far away. If my junior brother has any misunderstandings with Miss, Yun Xing would like to apologize on his behalf!"

"Senior Sister! It's clear that the boys from the Tang Sect are bullying people too much, why are you being so polite to them!" Seeing this, Liu Qing couldn't help being anxious, his face was full of resentment.

"Shut up! The lord wants you to come here to help me find someone, not to cause trouble for you!" Liu Yunxing hastily scolded him to prevent him from speaking rudely again.

She understands this junior's temper very well, he is completely of the type that others don't trouble him, but he still looks down on others. Although she doesn't know the reason for this confrontation with these Tangmen disciples, she can guess a thing or two , it was nothing more than to fight for the marriage of the owner of the Domineering Sword Master.

In normal times, she would have let him go, because it was related to the reputation of their young master, and a disciple of the domineering sword would not swallow his anger, but today was different, and unexpectedly met Tang Qingling from the Tang Sect!

Tang Qingling was born in the direct line of the Tang Sect. No matter in terms of courage, ability, martial arts or intelligence, he is among the best among the younger generation of the Tang Sect. In addition, he is quite smart in business, and is well-known among the chambers of commerce in the southwest.Originally from a famous family, she is beautiful and capable, so she should be the object pursued by many children from aristocratic families, but on the contrary, this girl is already twenty and four years old, but no one has come to propose marriage so far, just because she is the same as her She is equally famous for her ability to absorb money, but also her moody temper and glib mouth!

Everyone in the world knows that this Tang Qingling's martial arts is not fake, but he is really a female killer!On the surface, she looks polite and courteous to others, and she doesn't often get angry with others, but her temper is rare among Tangmen. After one catastrophe, it will be even worse, because she will chase you to the ends of the earth!

If they met other people from the Tang Sect, then they would fight, but if they met such a moody female killer, if they really pissed her off, the consequences would only be endless troubles!

"Miss Tang, this is indeed a misunderstanding. Junior brother came here to look for me at the order of the owner of the village, and he didn't intend to make things difficult for Tang Sect. Look at this..." Liu Yunxing cupped his fists again to express his apology.

God knows that she only wants to make big things small and small things right now. After all, there are still a lot of things waiting for her to arrange, but she has no time to make enemies here.

But some people can't see her intention of trying to calm things down. Liu Qing on the side has long been dissatisfied with these people in the Tang Sect. Now seeing her senior sister apologizing for herself is even more displeased. She drew her sword and said: "I provoked you first So what! Their Miss Tang Sect disobediently obeyed women's morals first, and shamelessly ran away with a wild man, causing us to become the laughing stock of Jianghu, Senior Sister, you can bear this tone, but I can't bear it!"

Hearing the insulting words in his words, several Tangmen disciples couldn't help being furious, but Tang Qingling waved her hand to persuade her, only to hear her coldly say: "Disobeying women? Shameless? It's a joke! My sister hasn't been in the house yet. Well, how can it be considered as your overbearing 'wife'! And if you are shameless, your young master is so old, and you still want to marry my sister, isn't it an old cow eating young grass?"

"You are making too much sense!" Liu Qing was furious, his face flushed red, but he didn't know how to refute.

People in Jianghu don't care about small details. If the age difference between the man and the woman is not too big, many people will praise it as a match made in heaven. But at this moment, the sentence "an old cow eats tender grass", thinking of the owner of the Domineering Swordsman who is approaching the age of [-] and the eldest lady of the Tangmen who is only two decades old, is indeed impossible to refute.

"Am I presumptuous?" Hearing this, Tang Qingling's lips curled up into an ambiguous smile, and she tilted her head slightly, the faint blue frost flowers on her bun were shimmering, "This Liu Shaoxia, you don't have to be so angry If you want to talk about it, our Tang Sect didn't care about the scandal that your young master had with that Yihonglou oiran years ago, so why are you biting us back now..."

"you--"

Seeing that Liu Qing was about to refute, Tang Qingling slightly raised her voice, and interrupted in a cold voice: "Besides, you'd better be careful with what you say! My sister was obviously kidnapped by a thief. You young masters don't want to think about it. Rescue my fiancée, and blindly let my disciples slander my reputation as Miss Tang Sect, in my opinion, this marriage will not be settled!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Liu Qing was so angry that the hand holding the knife had already started to shake. He had long heard that Tang Qingling's sharp mouth could tell right from wrong, and he could tell black from white, and now he saw it and it was true!It was obvious that Miss Tang Sect broke her marriage contract with Ba Dao and eloped with the Fifth Young Master Hidden Sword regardless of Ba Dao's face, but now she said she was abducted?It is simply unreasonable to slander their young owner for being entangled with the brothel girls!

Seeing that Liu Qing was about to explode without saying a word, Liu Yunxing quickly pressed his hand holding the knife to prevent him from acting recklessly.Although this Tang Qingling was indeed full of crooked reasoning, he was right about some things, especially Liu Yunxing, who knew the inside story, was even more embarrassed at this time.

The reason is that Liu Jingtao, the owner of their tyrannical swordsman, is a normal man in his prime after all, and he has no wives and concubines at home. The oiran he met had to entangle him to death and had a child. At that time, Ba Dao was marrying Tang Sect, so the young owner hurriedly asked his confidant disciples to deal with the matter. In the end, things should go smoothly. It didn't reach Tangmen's ears, but Tang Qingling found out about this matter for some reason.

"Miss Tang, there are some things that I'm wrong... But you and I must be very clear about Lingmei's matter. If things get stiff, Lingmei's reputation will only worsen. Junior brother, he just said something rude, and turned back to Yunxing He will definitely teach him a good lesson, Yun Xing thinks that Miss Tang is not unreasonable, so, how about letting go of today's matter?" Liu Yunxing didn't want to make things worse, so he gave each other a step down, in order to prevent each other In the conversation, Tang Xiaowan, the eldest lady of the Tang family, elopes.

Sure enough, Tang Qingling raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Yunxing with a half-smile, and said: "I didn't intend to be an enemy of Ba Dao, after all, this matter is my Tang Sect's fault, but Junior Brother will have to keep his mouth shut in the future. Just this temper may lead to trouble someday!"

"You—" Liu Qing glared angrily, but was interrupted by Liu Yunxing, thinking that no matter how bad my junior brother is, could he be worse than you?With such an unforgiving sharp mouth, I don't know how many people were so angry that they vomited blood.

Liu Yunxing slandered in his heart, but on his face he said kindly: "That's good, my junior brother and I have some important matters to deal with, so I won't bother Miss Tang here, please do as you please."

"Miss Liu is polite, please walk slowly!"

Tang Qingling was no longer polite to them, she clasped her fist at Liu Yunxing, and asked a disciple beside her to book a room with the waiter who was hiding in the shop. She waited with other disciples, but her eyes fell on Liu Yunxing and Liu Qing who were going upstairs. Seeing Liu Qing turning his head and glaring at her angrily, she was still in the mood to smile at him, but it turned out that the other party was even more angry.

The figure of the disciple waiting for Ba Dao completely disappeared at the stairs, and a disciple who did not know when he appeared in the corner of the lobby came up and whispered in Tang Qingling's ear: "Miss, the matter you want to investigate has some clues, the target has arrived In Luoyang City, there seems to be some big move recently..."

Tang Qingling frowned, pondered for a while, and asked, "How is Luo Dao going?"

The disciple paused for a moment, as if he had thought of something bad, but he still replied: "It's still the same, there is no abnormality in the Heaven's Punishment Forest, as for Li Ducheng..."

"I see..." Tang Qingling let out a breath, apparently thinking of something, rubbed his brows and said, "If there are living...people in the city, they should be rescued first, and remember to let the disciples who are going to Lidu City go to Your own safety is the most important thing, if you find that the situation is wrong, quickly withdraw!"

"Yes!" The disciple agreed in a low voice.

"Also, keep an eye on those women in red on Luo Dao, I'll know as soon as they make a move!" Tang Qingling added.

"...Yes, this disciple understands." Although he wondered why the boss had repeatedly emphasized the need to keep an eye on those women in red, but seeing the somewhat gloomy expression on the boss's face, the disciple still chose to obey obediently.

"Senior sister, the room has been booked, do you want to go upstairs and settle down first?"

The female disciple who had gone to discuss the room with the waiter had already returned, and the waiter saw that the two parties did not fight, and the inn was kept, so he was very happy. After allocating a few rooms to the new guest, he went I guess I will find someone to call the shopkeeper back later.

"Then let's go up first. You are also tired from the journey, so take a good rest." Tang Qingling agreed to the female disciple's proposal, and then got up and walked upstairs first, but didn't want to run into someone who had already packed her things and was going upstairs. A group of Ba Dao disciples walking down.

Seeing this, Tang Qingling raised her eyebrows, and simply moved aside to let the other party pass first. Although she has a big temper, she is not a temper tantrum or troublemaker. If it wasn't for Liu Qing's provocative words just now, she just happened to catch up with her In a fit of anger, she would not fight those Ba Dao disciples. Now that she has made peace, there is no need to worry about trivial matters.

Seeing her take the initiative to give way, the Ba Dao disciples on the opposite side, especially Liu Qing, felt a little frightened, but under the pressure of Liu Yunxing's staring eyes, he still held back and said nothing, just walked over quickly with a cold snort, Liu Yunxing had no choice but to say goodbye Tang Qingling showed a slightly apologetic smile.

Tang Qingling also smiled generously to express that she didn't care, and was about to continue walking, but she didn't want to be hit by a small soft thing suddenly at the corner, and when she looked down, she was quite soft-looking cute little girl.

Miao's nose was a little sore from being hit for a while, she stretched out her hand to rub it, and quickly apologized before seeing the person in front of her, "I'm sorry, I was careless, didn't it hurt you?"

"Pfft..." When Tang Qingling saw that the little guy was hit so hard that his nose was red, and his eyes were teary from the pain, he asked himself if he was hurt, so he immediately became happy, and said, "You little guy, how can you?" Really... the little girl walks at home, you have to be careful in the future, I didn't get hurt, but your little nose will suffer!"

"Amiao, are you okay?"

Liu Yunxing, who was already outside the inn, heard Mo Yumaomao mentioning that Miao went back to pick up the things she left behind, and hurried back to look for her. Just in time, she ran into Tang Qingling from a distance, and her heart was so frightened that her throat was in her throat. Fortunately, Tang Qingling didn't seem to be angry.

Not only was she not angry, Tang Qingling saw that the little girl looked exquisite and cute, and there was a faint sense of familiarity between her faces, and she had already saved a little affection, and then heard her soft apology, and she immediately felt that she was lovable , I wanted to tease her again, but unexpectedly it was Liu Yunxing's person, so the friendly expression on his face also restrained a bit.

"I'm fine, Sister Yunxing, I'm sorry to trouble you." Miao just watched the confrontation between Ba Dao and the disciples of the Tang Sect in the corner, and recognized that the person she bumped into in front of her was not dealing with Liu Yunxing, so she behaved at this moment. She is very well-behaved, afraid of causing trouble for Liu Yunxing.

Liu Yunxing took Miao's hand and said with a slight smile, "What's the trouble? The things are ready? Then let's go!"

Seeing the little guy nodded heavily, Liu Yunxing said goodbye to Tang Qingling who hadn't left, and took Miao's hand down the stairs, but he didn't realize that Tang Qingling behind him was always looking at this side, especially at the little girl beside him. The girl's eyes were a little thoughtful.

Miao was led by Liu Yunxing to go outside, and she glanced back secretly, but happened to meet Tang Qingling's gaze, which made her suddenly turn around, but an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in her heart.

The author has something to say:

Well, Tang Mengmeng is going to go to Luodao to fight monsters, maybe they can save Xiao Xiezi QAQ by the way...

Also, Miss Tang Qingling is not soy sauce, she will be an important clue.
