Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Seeing Gu Xuandu's devastated look, Lin Rufei knocked on the maid's door in a good mood.Seeing him coming, the maids quickly stopped talking and came forward.

Lin Rufei originally wanted Fuhua Yurui to cook him something to eat, but after thinking about it, since he came to a new land, he naturally wanted to taste the specialties here. He arrived in a hurry yesterday, and even the appearance of the town was different. Without seeing clearly, he went into the inn to rest.Since the weather is good today, it is also a good choice to go for a walk.

Thinking of this, Lin Rufei greeted Fuhua Yurui and went out slowly.

After passing Xiliang Mountain, they arrived at the bustling Central Plains area. Although they were only in an unimportant small town next to Xiliang Mountain at this time, the shadow of its prosperity could be vaguely seen.On both sides of the street, there was an endless stream of tourists and tourists, and in the shops along the roadside, there were also some new gadgets that Lin Rufei had never seen before.He walked and bought all the way, and by the time he visited the whole street, his hands were full of all kinds of interesting things and delicious food.

Seeing that they were almost done buying, Lin Rufei casually found a roadside stall and sat down, asked the vendor for a bowl of hot noodle soup.He has never tasted this kind of noodle soup before. It is thick oily red sauce, with a layer of chili on top, and a few thin slices of stewed beef. After taking a few bites, Lin Rufei was overwhelmed with spicy Sweating profusely, her lips were bright red, and her tongue was hissing from time to time.

Seeing Lin Rufei like this, the peddler couldn't help laughing, and said that if the guest officer was eating it for the first time, he could ask them to put less spicy peppers.Lin Rufei nodded while drinking water continuously, even a thin layer of water vapor appeared in her eyes.

However, although the noodle soup was spicy, it tasted really good. Although Lin Rufei had tears in her eyes, she still bit the bullet and finished the whole bowl of noodles.After eating, he felt his lips hurt badly, so he asked Gu Xuandu vaguely, and Gu Xuandu said dumbfoundedly that his mouth was swollen from the heat.

"If you can't eat it, don't force it. Look at your appearance now." Gu Xuandu said, "It seems like someone bullied you."

Lin Rufei's complexion was originally fair, but now there were tears in the corners of her eyes, her lips were red and swollen, and her brows were frowning, adding a bit of cute and pitiful charm to her.

Lin Rufei didn't realize that something was wrong. It was the first time he ate such a spicy food, and he was almost unconscious. After paying the bill in a panic, he hurried to the nearby fruit vendor to buy some plums. into the mouth,

These plums were chilled with well water, they tasted crisp, sweet and sour, very delicious, and Lin Rufei couldn't help eating a few more.

After eating, Lin Rufei planned to go back. Before going back, she passed by a small shop selling weapons, so she stopped in to have a look.Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Rufei entered, she saw a wooden shield placed in the corner at first sight. The appearance of the wooden shield was exactly the same as the one Mo Zhaocai sold him, but the ones sold in this store seemed to be more expensive. bigger.

"Boss, how do you sell this wooden shield?" Lin Rufei asked.

The boss didn't raise his head: "One tael of silver."

Lin Rufei thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Can it be cheaper?"

"I'll give you ten copper coins less at most." The boss said, "Guest officer, this is a small business and there is no profit."

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "Then I'll take it." He happily took out the silver, took the ten copper coins he found back from the boss, and happily went out with the wooden shield.

Seeing his happy appearance, Gu Xuan wondered, "What are you so happy for?"

Lin Rufei said: "I succeeded in negotiating the price for the first time!"

Gu Xuandu: "..."

Lin Rufei said: "The boss also gave me ten copper coins less!" He visited the market so many times and saw many people lowering prices, so he wanted to try it for a long time, but he didn't expect to succeed the first time.

On the Yaoguang Continent, three copper coins are worth one tael of silver, and there are three hundred copper coins in total. The ten copper coins that Lin Rufei mentioned are just enough to buy two bunches of candied haws.Lin Rufei conveniently bought two more bunches of candied haws, one for each of Gu Xuandu, eating them with gusto.

Gu Xuandu asked him why he bought this wooden shield, Lin Rufei said that the wooden shield is very useful, and at present he can't use Gu Yu very smoothly, so he thought of using this wooden shield to make do with it.Gu Xuandu hesitated several times, wanting to say that Lin Rufei's slender figure holding such a big wooden shield was really out of place, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything. Anyway, Lin Rufei was happy, Simply let him go.

So Lin Rufei happily ate candied haws, and went back holding a huge wooden shield.I don't know if it's because he started trying to draw out the sword energy in his body, but Lin Rufei's strength is much stronger than before, and her five senses are also much more sensitive. The only fly in the ointment is that she still gets sick when she is sick His persistent cough for many years has no intention of getting better.

After resting in the small town for a day, they planned to enter the Central Plains along the official road.Lin Rufei worked tirelessly for more than ten days, but she didn't have any symptoms, and she was still happy about whether her physical condition had improved. Who knew that after walking around the town, she started to cough and have a fever the next day.

So when she finally left the town, Lin Rufei could only sit in the carriage with a listless look.

Fortunately, the official road is not as bumpy as the mountain road, it is flat and wide, and it is not uncomfortable to sit on it.

Their next destination is Gusu City, which is a hundred miles away, and it will take about half a day.When you arrive in Gusu, you have truly arrived in the real Central Plains.Although the people and things I saw are more mixed, they will be more interesting if I think about it.

As the weather got hotter, Lin Rufei also changed into a thin summer dress, with her hair tied up, which was a bit more heroic than the dress on Kunlun Mountain.

Around evening, the carriage driven by Fuhua finally arrived outside Gusu City.After passing the post to the guards guarding the city, the carriage drove into it through the wide gate.

Just as soon as she entered the city gate, Lin Rufei showed a look of surprise. In this Gusu city, for some reason, fiery red lanterns and dense red silk were hung everywhere, and bright red wedding signs were pasted on the windows of shops on both sides of the street. Character.

"Who is this getting married?" Yu Rui asked curiously.

Fu Hua said: "The one who wants to get married must be a rich family. In Gusu City, the only one who can be called a rich family is the Liu family."

"But since it's the Liu family getting married, it must be a big event, and invitations will be spread widely to invite guests from all over the world. Why is it so quiet?" Yu Rui didn't know.

Fuhua shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Lin Rufei's third invitation was for the Liu family in Gusu City.

In Jianghu, there are only two sword cultivators who have passed the eighth realm before the age of 20. The first is his second elder brother Lin Bianyu, and the second is Liu Rugong, the second son of the Liu family in Gusu City.It's a pity that Mo Changshan of the Mo family died young, otherwise his name would have been in these eight realms.

Although Liu Rugong's name contains the word bow, he actually wields a good sword. Lin Bianyu's Tianxiao is famous all over the world, and the soft sword named Luoshen in his hand is also famous.

It was rumored that Liu Rugong's personality was unpredictable, surly and ruthless, drinking with someone one moment and cutting flowers, the next moment he could kill someone's head.If it weren't for the great power of the Liu family, they might not be able to suppress such a fierce spirit.The Liu family is a wealthy businessman in the Central Plains. It is said that two-thirds of the merchants in Gusu City are owned by his family.Thinking about it, no matter which younger generation of the Liu family got married, they would treat it as a big event, so there was no news of it.

A few people entered the inn, ordered some food casually, and asked about Xiao Er.

When Xiaoer heard this, he said with a sad face: "Guest officer, it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but it's really hard to talk about it."

"Why is it difficult to speak?" Yu Rui wondered, "Isn't a big wedding a happy event?"

Xiao Er sighed and shook his head.

"Forget it, just tell us who is going to get married." Fuhua didn't make things difficult for Xiao Er, and asked, handing out a piece of silver.

Xiao Er looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and whispered: "The guest officer does not know, the married person is the second son of the Liu family, Liu Rugong..."

Several people were stunned when they heard this.

If it was said that other members of the Liu family were getting married, and the Liu family didn't want to make arrangements, that would make sense, but the person who got married turned out to be the most favored Liu Rugong.Liu Rugong's big wedding must be regarded as the most important event of the Liu family, and it will definitely be arranged in a big way. How could it be so silent? If they didn't happen to come to Gusu City, they probably wouldn't even know about it.

"Liu Rugong?" Fuhua said incredulously, "He wants to get married, why is he so low-key."

Xiao Er kept shaking her head with a bitter face, but refused to say any more.

Lin Rufei showed curiosity, and after thinking for a moment, she took out a piece of gold from her cuff, handed it to Xiaoer, and beckoned him to continue talking.

Seeing the gold, Xiao Er showed a struggling expression, finally gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and refused: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, I really dare not say this. Although Jin Jin is good, but his head is gone, he can't help it." There is nowhere to spend..."

"Who will take your head?" Someone asked curiously from behind.

As soon as he heard the voice, Xiao Er's already bad face instantly turned pale, and he turned his head stiffly.

Lin Rufei followed Xiaoer's gaze, and saw a young man with narrow eyes sitting on the wooden table next to him. He was dressed in a red dress with sandalwood as the background lotus pattern, and gold silk tattooed on his feet. With short boots and a crown of long hair, he was tilting his head, looking at the mistress with interest, and seeing the frightened face of the mistress, who was fighting with each other, he asked patiently again: "Who will take your head? "

Little World War II called out tremblingly: "Liu...Master Liu..."

Young Master Liu said with a smile: "You are so afraid of what I will do, did I kill someone in front of you?" He shook his head again, denying the statement, "No, how could anyone in Gusu City see me kill someone? Woolen cloth."

Little Er dared to speak, seeing his frightened appearance, he almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow to this Young Master Liu.Fortunately, Young Master Liu was not very interested in him, so he quickly cast his eyes on the three of Lin Rufei who were sitting behind Xiao Er.

Lin Rufei's figure was frail, with no sword energy on her body, and she didn't look like a cultivator, but the maids sitting on both sides of him could see the five realms of cultivation.It's just that she can use a banished fairy with five realms of cultivation as a maid, and this seemingly weak young master must have an unusual status.

"Who are you guys who just arrived in Gusu City?" Young Master Liu didn't see him, picked up the teacup on the table, and poured himself a cup of hot tea.

Lin Rufei nodded.

"But what's the matter?" Young Master Liu asked.

Lin Rufei said: "I am Lin Rufei, the fourth son of the Kunlun Lin family. I came to Gusu City to send an invitation to the Liu family for the Sword Club." After a slight pause, he continued, "You are the most famous swordsman of the Liu family. Liu Rugong, Master Liu, right?"

Liu Rugong smiled and said, "Oh, that's how you see it?"

The Liu family has many heirs. There are seven or eight males and females in the direct line alone, and there are many collateral lines. It is not easy to guess his identity in one go.

Lin Rufei said warmly: "I saw you at the sword meeting a few years ago."

The smile on Liu Rugong's face faded: "You are Lin Bianyu's younger brother, why haven't I met you before?"

Lin Rufei said: "I have been weak since I was a child, and I rarely show my face in front of people."

Liu Rugong said: "So that's the case." Hearing that Lin Rufei was weak, he seemed to lose interest in him in an instant, stopped being polite, stood up lazily, and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany Lin Rufei." son."

After speaking, he turned around and left, with a very rude attitude.

Seeing him like this, Fuhua and Yurui had anger in their eyes, and they were about to scold him, but they were stopped by Lin Rufei.

"No problem." Lin Rufei waved her hands indifferently, "A swordsman always has his own temperament."

Especially for a powerful swordsman, even his second brother with a seemingly gentle temperament is actually full of pride, and he probably doesn't bother to be polite when facing people he doesn't like or is not interested in.

"Young master, this Liu Rugong is too arrogant." Yu Rui said dissatisfied, "No matter how powerful he is, he still lost to our second young master."

Liu Rugong was indeed defeated, but it was just a bad move. He put down his harsh words and wanted to compete with Lin Bianyu again, but for some reason, the Liu family did not send him to Kunlun for this year's sword meeting, but sent him The eldest son of the Liu family, who has been cultivated in the seventh realm, naturally has no chance of winning.

After Liu Rugong left, it took a while for the almost frightened Xiaoer to recover, but the look of fear in Lin Rufei's eyes showed a little more fear, obviously feeling that he could talk to Liu Rugong Even though they don't know their identity, they should not be offended.

"Young Master, actually...it's not that I don't want to talk about it, but that this matter is too ridiculous." Xiao Er tried his best to suppress his voice, "Although the whole city is decorated with lights and festoons, no one dares to discuss it."

"What happened?" Lin Rufei asked.

Xiaoer finally told Lin Rufei the reason in a difficult way, and he said, "Because... the second son of the Liu family... wants to marry a sword."

Everyone's expressions were stunned, even Gu Xuandu, who was sitting beside him all the time, was very bored.

"What did you say?" Fu Hua thought she had heard it wrong, "What do you think the second son of the Liu family wants to marry?"

Xiao Er said, "A sword."

Everyone: "..."

Xiao Er was not surprised by their reaction at all, and continued to add calmly: "It's his favorite Luoshen."

Luoshen is a good sword, and it is as famous as Tianxiao made on Kunlun, so it is naturally extraordinary.Rumor has it that it was tempered with meteoric iron and rootless fire.On the day when the sword came out, the sky was full of rays of light, and the clouds looked like graceful and beautiful women, hence the name Luoshen.

Liu Rugong won Luoshen, as if with the help of a god, her cultivation is improving by leaps and bounds.Everyone said that this person with one sword is a perfect match in the world.

But no matter how perfect a match is, marrying a sword is too ridiculous.

After Xiaoer said this, everyone fell into a long silence by coincidence, and finally Lin Rufei said: "This Liu Rugong really has personality."

"Yeah." Xiaoer said, "Who in the Liu family can change the decision made by the second son of Liu? Although the master of the Liu family is half-dead from anger, there is nothing he can do about him. Besides, the mother of the second son of Liu has always doted on him. I really couldn't help it, so I simply let him go, and even changed into a red dress in Gusu City, saying that it was the first marriage of Young Master Liu, so we shouldn't be too sloppy..."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a while.

Xiao Er said: "But everyone dare not discuss this matter. After all, the second son has a bad temper. Killing people is like killing a chicken. He is really about to die, and no one even collects the corpse."

After Lin Rufei finished listening, she handed the gold in her hand to Xiao Er, indicating that he could go down.

Xiao Er received the reward, saluted Lin Rufei gratefully, and withdrew hurriedly.

"This is really interesting." Fuhua murmured, "It's the first time I've heard that someone wants to marry her own swordsman."

Yu Rui shook her head and said, "I don't understand, this is the real swordsman, who will be with the sword for life." She seemed to understand Liu Rugong very well.

Lin Rufei didn't comment too much on this matter. The world is so big and full of surprises. While he was surprised, he also felt that the second young master Liu was really interesting, and he was considered a sweetheart.

It was already getting late, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest after eating.

Lin Rufei drank the medicine after taking a bath, but lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Gu Xuandu sat on the edge of the bed, propped his chin and looked at the scenery outside without saying a word.

Lin Rufei called out a little strangely: "Senior?"

Gu Xuan turned around.

Lin Rufei said, "What's on your mind?"

Gu Xuandu said: "What's on your mind."

Lin Rufei said: "Then why didn't you talk?" Gu Xuandu usually talked a lot, but today he kept silent, even after hearing such a bizarre thing as Liu Rugong and Jian's marriage, he didn't say a word. Didn't say anything.

Gu Xuandu said: "Is it strange to be married to Jian?"

Lin Rufei was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Could it be that senior..." He looked at Shuang Jiang at Gu Xuandu's waist, and said cautiously, "If senior is really interested in Jian, please don't treat Shuang Jiang like this. It's not very good to be a fire stick."

Gu Xuandu: "..." Shuangjiang on his waist was still buzzing at this moment, and he didn't know if he was responding to Lin Rufei's words, or simply mocking Gu Xuandu.

Gu Xuan was choked to death by Lin Rufei's words, but he didn't know what to say, so he just waved his sleeves, and he disappeared immediately.

Lin Rufei only thought that he was angry from embarrassment, and secretly lamented in his heart that the idea of ​​a master is really different, but he has to write a letter to his eldest brother to urge his second brother's marriage, and don't become obsessed with practicing swords at that time. He really married Tian Xiao to be his sister-in-law. Although he would not look down on his second brother, it was a bit strange to be called Yi Jian's sister-in-law.

Lin Rufei lay on the bed thinking about these little things, and stayed up until midnight before falling asleep in a daze.

When she woke up the next day, she still didn't see Gu Xuandu's figure, Lin Rufei wasn't in a hurry, she had breakfast leisurely, and planned to visit Liu's mansion with Fuhua and the others first.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Liu's mansion and asked, he found out that the master and wife of the Liu family were not in the mansion and would not be back until ten days later.However, the person in charge showed great respect after learning of Lin Rufei's identity, and invited Lin Rufei to live in the Liu Mansion, and said that he had sent a letter to his wife and master, and they should come back as soon as possible.

Lin Rufei declined the manager's invitation, saying that it would be good for her to live in the inn instead of bothering her.

No matter how much the steward persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him, so he sent his servants to book the best inn in Gusu City, and told the boss to treat Lin Rufei, a distinguished guest, well.

The innkeeper even said yes.

The reason why Lin Rufei insisted on staying in the inn was because something happened to Xie Jiameng's house before. He thought it was a bit weird, so he felt that it would be safer to live in the inn.Anyway, no matter what happened to the Liu family, it had nothing to do with him.

After sending Lin Rufei to the inn, the steward hesitated to speak several times, but Lin Rufei asked him to speak directly when he saw this.

The steward whispered: "Mr. Lin may not know something. The fifteenth day of this month is the wedding day of my second son... It's just that this wedding is a bit special, so Liu's residence didn't plan to entertain guests. It’s not that the people inside Liu’s residence don’t want to invite you, Mr. Lin.” He was probably afraid that Lin Rufei might be misunderstood and left out of the Liu family’s neglect, and he didn’t even get the wedding invitation, so he explained it to Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei nodded, indicating that it's okay,

The steward left cautiously.

However, only one day later, someone in Liu's mansion delivered the wedding invitation to Lin Rufei. When Lin Rufei asked, she found out that it was sent by the master of the Liu family, saying that Lin and Liu had a good relationship. It's natural for Fei to come to the banquet if he wants to, but please don't follow the ceremony, it is enough for people to come.Thinking about coming here, the master of the Liu family went through a lot of psychological struggles, and finally chose to invite Lin Rufei, the fourth son of the Lin family. Others don't know, but he knows it very well. Although Lin Rufei is weak and seldom known by outsiders, in fact He is the most favored in the Lin family.Moreover, it is said that a few days ago, he was the one who swung his sword down and chopped off half of the Kunlun North Peak. It is debatable whether this is true or not, but he is definitely not as weak as he appears, otherwise how would the Lin family be willing to let him out? Walk the rivers and lakes.

I have to say, this ginger is still old and spicy, and the master of the Liu family really guessed the matter right.It's a pity that his shrewdness is useless on his own son. He can't beat him and scold him, so he can only watch his son mess around and insist on marrying a cold sword. He is so worried that he is about to come out of illness. .

This Gusu City is several circles larger than Moyu, and Lin Rufei can't wait to see the prosperity of the Central Plains.

He took the purse, bid farewell to Fuhua and Yurui, went out alone, first went to find some food as usual, and then planned to walk around along the small river running through Gusu City.Just halfway there, he saw Liu Rugong, who was supposed to be preparing for the wedding at Liu's house, squatting on the side of the road, with a pure-colored sea dongqing parked on his arm, teasing the bird with great interest, he also saw it Lin Rufei stood up with a smile and greeted Lin Rufei. It seemed that they were not so difficult to get along with when they first met.

"If Mr. Lin wants to wander around Gusu City, why not let me be your guide?" Liu Rugong laughed.

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, but still accepted Liu Rugong's proposal: "Then... I will trouble Mr. Liu."

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: Doesn't this bridal chamber have to practice swords all night?

Gu Xuandu: What if not.

Lin Rufei: So what should we do?

Gu Xuandu: There are always more methods than difficulties, how about using the hilt of a sword?

Lin Rufei:? ? ? ? ? ?
