Chapter 37: Eighteen years of wandering in the sea of flowers
After Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran made an appointment to go to Jingzhou City together, they told him the address of the inn where he is currently staying. Li Xiaoran also arrived at the inn the morning of the next day.
"Brother Lin, what is the identity of the person you are escorting?" Li Xiaoran sat on the table opposite Lin Chen and asked curiously.
In fact, this kind of thing is not suitable for investigation, but when Li Xiaoran saw the Taibai sword technique used by Lin Chen, he couldn't help but wonder, who was so capable that he could actually invite the people from Taibai Sword Mountain to serve as a guard?
You should know that hundreds of years ago, after unifying the Three Jins, Zhongzhou, Guanzhong and other places, Taizu of Jin State called himself the emperor as the commander of heaven, and then sent an edict to Taibai Jianshan, who had only established a sect for 30 years at that time. The simple meaning of the edict was: All over the world, is it a king's minister? Taibai Jianshan is standing above Qinchuan, and Qinchuan belongs to the Guanzhong of Jin State, so Taibai Jianshan is ordered to surrender to the Great Jin, and Feng Wuhen, the head of Taibai Jianshan, was appointed as the patrol general of the Shenwu Gate of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Then what?
It is said that when Taizu of Jin got up in the morning, he accidentally fell down. Not only did he swollen his face, but he also lost a front teeth. For a long time after that, their ancestral land in the Sanjin area often caught fire for no reason...
Time has passed on, and the Great Jin Dynasty has been passed down for hundreds of years. There are countless sects in the world that have been wiped out and surrendered to the court. Later, when it came to the generation of Tai Grandfather, the current Emperor of Jin, he even snatched the Jiangnan area from the Qing Kingdom, and went east to Jizhou, south to Jingchu, west to Bashu, north to the north. His posture is really arrogant and arrogant. It is called the most prosperous period of Jin Kingdom. However, even so, Taibai Jianshan still looks down on the world above Qinchuan.
This shows how powerful and transcendent Taibai Jianshan is.
Although Taibai Sword Mountain has declined at this moment, its leader Li Changtian was extremely beautiful. At just thirty years old, he defeated all the sword heroes in the world with one sword, suppressed a generation, and achieved an invincible posture. He was eventually called "Sword Immortal"!
The title of "Sword Immortal" is not a realm, but a title. Only the strongest person who suppresses a generation of people in the swordsmanship can be crowned!
You know, the era Li Changtian lived in was different from now!
In the world decades ago, some people "sit on the tower alone to watch the wind and rain, and there is no match for the chess, and there is no match for the chess, and some people "frozenly with a spear, and flowers are falling, and the pine wind chases the moon and accompany me", and some people "smile on the spring breeze gently caress the willows, and their cold eyes are cold and snow is three feet cold".
Li Changtian was able to achieve an invincible posture in that era, which further established Taibai Jianshan's transcendent status.
So, because of this, Li Xiaoran even more curious about what kind of person was that he could have personally escorted the successors of Taibai Jianshan?
Lin Chen sat opposite Li Xiaoran. He held a small white plate with one hand and a pair of chopsticks in the other hand. He carefully poked a small mouth on the bun in the plate, and suddenly a delicious soup flowed out of the bun.
Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately put his mouth close and took a sip on the bun. As soon as the delicious soup and crab roe were in his mouth, it seemed to be melting in Lin Chen's mouth, which really made people feel very appetizing.
Lin Chen finished eating a crab roe soup bun and then put down the plate, but did not put down the chopsticks. While picking up a plate of crab roe soup buns that the guy had just sent him, he said, "Is it... Actually, I don't have any identity, it's just a daughter. I met on the road, and the reason was very simple. The three of them were robbed by bandits. I happened to pass by and rescue them, and then that's it..."
"Miss Daughter?"
Li Xiaoran was stunned when she heard this, then smiled and said with a long voice, "Oh... So that's it! In the world, not only are there fighting each other, but also having to be romantic, and you understand! I just said that when I first met Brother Lin, a sense of intimacy arose in my heart. Hehe, Brother Lin's heroic move is beautiful to save the beauty. Although I haven't seen him with my own eyes, Brother Lin's skills must be a gorgeous posture. Once the sword move is used, he shows his invincible posture. I admire him, admire him!"
Lin Chen was speechless. He really didn't want to talk to Li Xiaoran now.
To be honest, when Lin Chen saw Li Xiaoran for the first time, he felt that he was very special. When he stood quietly in the crowd, he was cold and proud, but when he smiled, he felt like a spring breeze, like a banished immortal walking in the mortal world. It really responded to the sentence in the book: The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
But what about now?
When in front of the girl, Li Xiaoran was indeed like a gentle and humble gentleman, but once she got to privately...
Li Xiaoran didn't know what Lin Chen was thinking at the moment. He leaned on the table, looked at Lin Chen, and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin said, is that daughter, she beautiful?"
"It's not a question of whether she is beautiful or not!" Lin Chen stuffed a small crab roe soup bag into his mouth, and said in a vague voice: "She is really the kind, very rich... You see, the inn I live in now and the food I eat are all paid for!"'
"Brother Lin is short of money?" Li Xiaoran was stunned when he heard this.
Will the disciples of Taibai Jianshan be short of money?
Even if Taibai Sword Mountain has fallen at this moment, you should know that the entire Qinchuan belongs to Taibai Sword Mountain! Not to mention that there are so many precious herbs growing on Qinchuan, just talk about those fruits and so on. As long as you recruit a few Gu workers to pick and sell these fruits, you can make a lot of money every year!
Lin Chen coughed dryly and said with a smile: "As for money, the more money, the better."
Li Xiaoran grew up in Tiangong Pavilion, and Tiangong Pavilion earns a lot of money every month, so he has no interest in money. He just said a few words and changed the topic and asked: "Brother Lin, I'll ask you a question..."
As he said, he suddenly approached Lin Chen a little, his voice lowered a lot, and he asked in a low voice: "What do Brother Lin think of Ning Xiaoyu?"
"Ning Xiaoyu?" Lin Chen, who was eating, suddenly moved and finally raised his head, looked at Li Xiaoran, and said, "Brother Li..."
"What, what! Brother Lin, you can't talk nonsense!" Li Xiaoran suddenly felt excited and stood up and shouted.
"I haven't started talking yet!" Lin Chen was speechless.
Li Xiaoran also realized his inclination and looked around. Fortunately, because it was still early and the inn was not something that ordinary people could come to, so there were only two of them at this moment, and no one else saw it.
Li Xiaoran sat down awkwardly, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Ahem, Brother Lin, don't blame me, it's because I'm too excited."
After he finished speaking, he nodded heavily and said seriously: "Although I, Li Xiaoran, have been wandering in the sea of flowers for eighteen years, I have not really met the woman that made me moved. Until the appearance of this girl Ning Xiaoyu, Brother Lin, do you believe in love at first sight?"
Lin Chen said nothing and defined Li Xiaoran's words as bragging in his heart.
Li Xiaoran has not even arrived at twenty at this moment, and she said that she had been wandering in the sea of flowers for eighteen years, wearing open-crotch pants to travel?
"Brother Lin?" Li Xiaoran couldn't help but increase his voice and reminded him when he saw Lin Chen eating on his own.
Lin Chen picked up a dumpling and put it into his mouth. After waiting for the meal, he spoke slowly and said, "Brother Li is quite sure? Why are you asking me now?"
Lin Chen clearly remembers how calm and indifferent Li Xiaoran was when facing those women that day. As a result, I am asking myself now, are you mocking me?
"This is different!" Li Xiaoran said seriously: "I'm serious this time!"
Lin Chen gave him a blank look and said, "Since that's the case, what else can I say? In the world, not only are there intentions to fight, but also have to be romantic and romantic, and love for children. This sentence is what you said!"
Li Xiaoran stopped talking.
After dealing with the bandits, Liang Jun finally opened the gate at the other end of the Yueyue City a few days later.
Everything is cleaned up.
Lin Chen and others left the inn and after leaving Wangyue City, they waited for a while in a tea shop outside the city gate.
Soon, Lin Chen saw a sword hanging from his waist and Li Xiaoran with a small bag behind his back leading a white horse towards them.
Because Lin Chen had already told Mu Yuejiao about Li Xiaoran's desire to travel with him, and Mu Yuejiao also agreed, so when Li Xiaoran arrived, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Miss Mu, let me introduce you to me. This is Brother Li, and he will also be with us this time." Lin Chen said to Mu Yuejiao.
After he said that, he turned his gaze to Li Xiaoran and said, "This is Miss Mu, whom I told you to escort. The other two are the groom Uncle Liu and Miss Mu's little girl."
Lin Chen said, rubbing Xiaoyue'er's head, causing Xiaoyue'er to "snap", pushing away his hand, staring at him with big watery eyes, and shouting: "You are the little girl! Also, no one except the lady is allowed to touch my head!"
"Xiao Yue'er, don't be rude!" Mu Yuejiao quickly spoke to stop her. Then, she looked at Li Xiaoran again and said, "Little girl Mu Yuejiao, have you seen Mr. Li!"
Li Xiaoran smiled slightly, bowed and returned a tribute, and said, "Miss Mu, don't need much politeness! Li Xiaoran and Brother Lin met when they were fighting against bandits. Although they only met for a while, we had already met too late and regarded each other as soulmates like Boyaziqi. Since Miss Mu is Brother Lin's friend, then naturally I am my Li Xiaoran's friend. When dealing with friends, I am most unwilling to do those complicated etiquettes, so I would like to ask the girl not to do this again in the future!"
Mu Yue smiled sweetly and said softly: "It turns out that Mr. Li is still a young hero who suppresses thieves. Since that's the case, the little girl should treat her with courtesy!"
Li Xiaoran's eyes fell on Mu Yuejiao's face. Although her face was covered by a gauze scarf, it was not difficult to see that Mu Yuejiao must be a beauty.
Immediately, Li Xiaoran did not accept Mu Yuejiao's words, but changed the topic and smiled: "Brother Lin has talked to me many times about meeting Miss Mu. I was curious about how the woman who could make Brother Lin missed would be amazed? When I saw her today, it was really as mentioned in the poem. The clouds think of the colorful clothes and the flowers think of the face, but the spring breeze does not see the dew thick! "
Mu Yuejiao was stunned when she heard this.
It’s not because of Li Xiaoran’s praise for her, but because... Li Xiaoran said that Lin Chen often talks about her and is obsessed with her?
Thinking in his heart, Mu Yuejiao's face turned slightly red, and her eyes looked at Lin Chen.
After hearing Li Xiaoran's words, Lin Chen was stunned. After he realized that he really wanted to go up and seal Li Xiaoran's mouth.
You really dare to say anything!
Of course, Lin Chen did not do this. He looked at Mu Yuejiao quietly, but found that the other party was also looking at him.
For a moment, the eyes of the two collided and dodged in an instant.
Lin Chen coughed dryly and smiled embarrassedly: "Miss Mu, don't listen to Brother Li's words. He is not reliable when he speaks. This is nothing at all!"
Isn't it at all?
Mu Yue nodded and chuckled softly: "I believe Mr. Lin is a gentleman!"
Although she said this, her tone seemed to be missing the gentle feeling she used to be.
Li Xiaoran was speechless. He said this, but what was Lin Chen doing?
…………
Since Li Xiaoran has arrived, there is no need for everyone to stay in the tea shop anymore.
After a simple cleaning, everyone started to set off for a journey.
But before everyone could go far, their pace stopped...
