Master Zhao at the foot of Mount Qingcheng

There is a small tavern in the northwest border. Due to the remote location, there are various wanted criminals or exiles in the local area, so the place is chaotic. There are few customers on weekdays, and most of the visitors are merchants who travel between the Great Yin and various tribes. Traffickers, but there have been a lot of Jiang Hu people recently, and they all went to Shenzhouhai when they asked.

In the past few days, there has been a strong wind and sandstorm again, and the number of guests who came here has decreased, and it has returned to the deserted look before. Finally, when the wind and sandstorm stopped, the proprietress yawned, looking at the account book, while Waiting for guests to come to your door.

As soon as the camel bell installed at the door rang, the proprietress knew that a guest had come in through the door. She cheered up and went up to say hello, only to find that it was a man and a woman.

The woman was a young girl. Although she was wearing a veil, she must be a beauty just by looking at her eyes.The male was handsome, with a pair of fox eyes, filled with a bit of femininity and wit.

The two are dressed in extraordinary clothes, and just by looking at their demeanor, the proprietress knows that they have some background.

"Two, what do you want to eat?"

The girl's beautiful eyes stayed on the proprietress for a while, then moved away without a trace.

"A plate of mutton, two plates of lighter side dishes, and a jug of wine." The man said and turned to the girl, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

The girl shook her head: "No, that's enough."

After getting Wen Renyue's reply, Tang Feng took off the water bag on his waist and gave it to the other party: "Please fill it up with water."

"okay."

The proprietress went to the back kitchen with her things, and Tang Feng and Wen Renyue found a random corner to sit down.

"What's the matter?" Tang Feng observed meticulously, especially regarding Wen Renyue, seeing her every move, so he was extremely careful. Just now, Wen Renyue's eyes on the proprietress made him aware of something.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere but can't remember it." Wen Renyue shook his head, "Maybe I misremembered, there are so many similar people in the world."

Another camel bell rang, followed by a rough voice: "Widow Liu, two bowls of mutton soup, hurry up!"

There was another person who came in together with that man, they were tall and tall, they looked more like gangsters in their attire.

One of them noticed Wen Renyue in the corner, tugged on the sleeve of the other, and motioned him to look, then the two looked at each other, and walked over maliciously.

Tang Feng narrowed his eyes, while Wen Renyue was still indifferent, drinking hot tea on his own, as if he didn't notice anything.

"Girl." The two came behind Wen Renyue, and before they could put their hands on each other's shoulders, they were stopped by a fan.

Tang Feng squeezed his fan and moved their hands away: "You two, if you have something to say, talk it out, don't make any moves."

"Who are you?" The other two felt that they had lost face in front of the beauty, and they naturally lost face towards Tang Feng.

Tang Feng pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Who am I? This is indeed a good question. Many sages throughout the ages can't figure out who they are. For example, I wonder who I am for Miss Wenren?"

Wen Renyue glanced at him lightly, originally wanted to say "be cautious", but after thinking about it, there was a time when Tang Feng was really cautious, and he said nothing, so he secretly sighed in his heart, give up.

Just listen to the other side sneer: "Then do you know who we are?"

Tang Feng was very calm: "Do you think we seem to know?"

The other party suddenly pulled out the big knife from his waist and split the stool beside him.

"Remember to lose money." Tang Feng glanced at the stool, "It's not easy for the store to do business."

"Who is causing trouble in my store." The proprietress called Widow Liu came out with dishes, and raised her eyebrows when she saw the scene in front of her. "What are you doing? Get out if you make trouble in my store."

"We will pay for the chair." The big man put a smile on the table as he said, but stared blankly at Wen Renyue, "Is it enough?"

"It's our fault that I caused trouble for the proprietress. These are meal money and compensation. I don't know if it's enough." Tang Feng said, and took out a larger ingot, which seemed to be gently placed on the table. But embedded in it.

Wen Renyue swept across the stunned crowd, then reached out and pulled out the silver from it without any effort, and handed it to the proprietress.

Following the action she just pulled out the silver, several cracks appeared on the table.

The proprietress: "..."

Two big men: "..."

The two big men swallowed their saliva together: "Forget it, I still have something to do today, come back another day!"

Widow Liu sneered, Tang Feng and Wen Renyue were there, and she spoke forcefully, clutching the silver, she said to the two who walked out in desperation: "Don't come any other day, I can't afford your business."

After the two left, there were no guests around, so Widow Liu simply sat beside Tang Feng and Wen Renyue and chatted.

"Are you two husband and wife?"

"How do you know?" Tang Feng smiled, "Do we look alike?"

"Like, but not like." The proprietress has seen too many people coming and going, she is quite discerning, and after seeing the reactions of Tang Feng and Wen Renyue, she no longer lingers on this topic, "You two also want to ponder From Zhouhai?"

"How can you see this?"

"It's just a wild guess. Nine out of ten of the guests who came to my place recently went to Shenzhouhai." Widow Liu said, "I don't know what happened, so I have to go to such a dangerous place, listen to me Advice, you two should not go there, it is very dangerous there, if you get stuck in a quicksand pit, no matter how good your martial arts are, it will be very dangerous."

"Thank you for reminding me, but I know it. I grew up in Northwest China. I just came back from a stroll outside this time."

"When you are young, you should go out and see and broaden your horizons. The Great Yin has a vast territory and many beautiful scenery. Unfortunately, I have never been to any place. I am afraid that I will never see it in this life." Widow Liu sighed, and then Ask, "Have you ever been to the capital?"

Tang Feng: "The capital is prosperous and well-deserved."

"Yes, prosperous." Widow Liu shook her head, "But it's also a place to eat people."

Wen Renyue secretly stared at Widow Liu's face, thoughtful.

Tang Feng wanted to ask her why she said this, but when she heard the sound of horseshoes outside the door and those familiar conversations, Tang Feng smiled: "It's really time."

Two more extraordinary-looking people pushed the door in, and they were Zhao Xuan and Lin Chaoyu.

Tang Feng returned to his senses and greeted them: "Master, Second Young Master Lin, here."

Widow Liu subconsciously cheered up when she heard "Second Young Master Lin". Shock flashed in her eyes when she saw Lin Chaoyu, but she quickly covered it up and stood up: "There is another guest, it looks like they are your acquaintances. Would you like a roast leg of lamb? I'll ask the kitchen to do it."

"Trouble store."

Widow Liu hurried to the back kitchen, Lin Chaoyu naturally noticed, until the back of the proprietress disappeared, Zhao Xuan turned to look at him suspiciously.

Lin Chaoyu didn't say anything, just shook his head.

Zhao Xuan moved a stool to sit next to Tang Feng and the others: "What do you gain in Sichuan?"

"I took a trip to the Tang Sect. Mrs. Tang has passed away. The matter of my father leading the team to find the National Teacher's Mausoleum was done in secret. It has been so long, and no one knows the inside story. But fortunately, now The head of the Tang Sect is my father's senior brother, he said that my father finally came back from the northwest... To be precise, he fled back to Dayin."

Zhao Xuan frowned: "Your father already left the Great Yin border?"

"When my father returned to the Tang Sect, the current head went to visit him. He said that my father came back with injuries all over his body. He said that they encountered a martial arts expert in the northwest, and all the others were killed by him. My father He escaped desperately and was able to return to the Tang Sect. He also said that after my father healed his wounds, he wanted to take my mother and me out of Shuzhong, but then Chen Sanjin came out."

"Thinking about it now, it's really suspicious." Tang Feng rubbed the center of his brows, "Senior also said that my father once warned him to be careful, but before he had time to ask carefully, something happened to our family. To this day, he doesn't know that I What did father tell him to be careful about?"

Tang Feng: "I can only find out so much. I was afraid of keeping you waiting, so I rushed here without stopping. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Just as she was talking, Widow Liu brought up the leg of lamb, lowered her head, and picked up the knife beside the plate: "I'll cut it open for you."

The moment the tip of the knife was about to touch the leg of lamb, Widow Liu turned her wrist and pointed it straight at Lin Chaoyu's heart.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xuan and Wen Renyue reacted extremely quickly, but someone was faster than them.

Lin Chaoyu stopped Wen Renyue's slashing at Widow Liu, and Lin Chaoyu stopped Zhao Xuan's chopsticks just thrown out.

Lin Chaoyu stopped two of them at once, and there was no way to avoid them, so he turned his lower body sideways, avoiding his heart, and the tip of the knife sank into his shoulder.

Tang Feng restrained Widow Liu and prevented her from moving. Zhao Xuan looked gloomy and stepped forward to check Lin Chaoyu's injuries.

"It's okay, don't worry." Lin Chaoyu reassured him, and then pulled out the dagger as usual, Zhao Xuan's face turned green.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but peel off the clothes on Lin Chaoyu's shoulders, took out a few bottles of wound medicine from his waist, and poured them all down.

Lin Chaoyu was both helpless and conniving, allowing Zhao Xuan to pull him around, and lowered his head to look at Widow Liu who had given up struggling under Tang Feng's hands. At this time, the other party was no longer the same as before, with monstrous hatred in his eyes.

"Mrs. Liu." Lin Chaoyu said calmly, "I haven't seen you for many years, so don't come here without any problems."

Widow Liu sneered: "I haven't seen you for many years, I have long lost my appearance, and I can barely make ends meet, and you must be doing well in Beijing, Second Young Master Lin."

"Guogong's mansion is all false titles, just eat and wait to die."

"Your second son's title is waiting to die, Qinglin is not." Widow Liu made a gesture to rush forward again, but was held down by Tang Feng, "I have cursed you for so many years, did you ever have a nightmare one day? Have you ever felt guilty towards Xianggong and Xing'er? Lin Chaoyu, let me ask you something!"

"Calm down, Mrs. Liu." Lin Chaoyu didn't answer, but stood up and motioned for others, "Let's go."

Wen Renyue bowed his head to accept orders, Zhao Xuan stood still, Lin Chaoyu pulled his sleeves, then hooked his hand, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, I'm fine."

Zhao Xuan looked at him, and Lin Chaoyu explained again: "Retribution, I deserve it."

After leaving the tavern, Zhao Xuan, who was silent at first, finally said, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, I'm used to it." Lin Chaoyu seemed to realize something, and suddenly became aggrieved, and it was only on Zhao Xuan's body, "It actually hurts a little bit."

Zhao Xuan: "..."

In fact, someone blurted out the reaction of "getting used to it" at the beginning, which made Zhao Xuan feel even more distressed.

Zhao Xuan, who was about to go away, looked back, and Widow Liu was leaning on the door frame, screaming with all her strength: "Lin Chaoyu, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"

Zhao Xuan: "Who is that woman?"

"The wife of the minister of the Ministry of Industry used to have friendship with my parents. She is the mother of my childhood friend and the person who watched me grow up." Lin Chaoyu stroked the wound on his shoulder, "It is right to hate me, After all, I personally settled Master Liu and her only son."
