He Danggui froze for a moment and then looked back. That was a child in a red jacket and green pants. He was wearing a pair of tiger shoes. His hair was a bit yellow, and he was slightly younger than Chubby Zhu. In He Danggui’s opinion, he was a “colorful” child. She bent down and asked, “Kid, did you see anyone take away a bay horse tied here?”
The child nodded and pointed to the north, “A man just left with your horse.” He Danggui hurriedly thanked him and ran in that direction. Thief is unforgivable! Stealing her horse in her place was even worse! The wind blew her ear while the yelling of the child came from behind. However, He Danggui maturely used Mysterious Footwork with full strength, and she even ran several times faster than riding a horse. Therefore, she did not catch the child’s words.
Children usually asked candies for adults. Next time she could ask Bai Yangbai to sell her some medicated sweetsand send them to that kid.

Duan Xiaolou was inside the inn!After realizing that, she quickly retracted her hand from the curtain, just like she was burned. With hesitation, she walked a small circle around the inn and found a back door, and then walked in. It was empty there. So, she sat in a corner at the end of the corridor and tried to listen to the conversation in the room while playing with the whip in her hand. Duan Xiaolou was drinking inside? Was Du Yao also inside? Was anyone else there? At the time, a voice sounded.“Du Yao! Why did you take my jar? Give me back my wine!”“Master Duan, you are drunk. We have important things to do today. What if you get drunk?”“Ha! You are three levels inferior to me. It is said that one level crushes people to death and I can crush you three times. How dare you interfere with my things? Give my wine back!” Duan Xiaolou paused but soon shouted again, “Waiter! Bring me ten more jars of loquat wine!”
Lu Jiangbei came out faster than Gao Jue. He Danggui couldn’t hide her face in time, so she closed her eyes without any other choice. Was it called the “ostrich policy”? Lu Jiangbei had just made Meng Xuan injured from a sword yesterday. According to Meng Xuan, he got himself injured “because of her”. Although she thought that she had never offended Lu Jiangbei, it was better not to see him in case of any trouble.After Lu Jiangbei went out, he paused and then smiled, “Gao Jue was right. There is really a girl sitting here.”He Danggui lowered her head and closed her eyes under the veil, hoping Lu Jiangbei didn’t recognize her.Lu Jiangbei said kindly, “Little girl, since you have come to the inn, why bother sitting in the cold wind? There is a stove inside, and it is warm there. Those people drinking inside are not bad guys. You can get in there to warm yourself.”He Danggui closed her eyes and nodded. However, she kept mut
Du Yao became even more curious and asked with his big eyes blinking, “Ah? You mean, even our boss was stunned? Is there anything that distracts him in a battle? He is the dreadful Lu Jiangbei, known as the ‘Sword in White, Universe in Sleeve’ in Jianghu!”Jiang Pi glanced at Duan Xiaolou and then said, “Master Duan, then I’ll tell him. It is you that want to stay here to listen to us. Well, the dagger was engraved with a lady, and she was no one else but Miss He, whom Duan Xiaolou has a crush on. Three years ago, we went to a Taoist temple to search Rebelling Party, where we unluckily met Miss He Danggui.”He Danggui outside the door suddenly came to realize that Meng Xuan was hurt because of this! He saw an unrelated man having a dagger with her face, and then was stabbed by Lu Jiangbei out of astonishment.Back then, she had seen the kind of dagger engraved with her portrait from Duan Xiaolou. She was told that it was made by Liao Zhi
He Danggui was as shocked as Jiang Pi by the scream. She thought she was found by them. So, she decided to say hello to them. Well, she only needed to be calm…At the time she touched the curtain, she heard Du Yao laugh again, “Guys, then I will just say it! Master Duan, don’t be mad at me! Do you think our boss is also interested in that girl? Does he like that little girl unrequitedly as Duan Xiaolou does?”After hearing that, Jiang Pi frowned and retorted, “Nonsense! Don’t play a joke on our boss as he is not here. I will tell him when he comes back! You are dead meat!”Du Yao raised his disgruntled head, “I’m not talking nonsense. I have evidence! I am also an admirer of our boss, so why would I speak ill of him? It’s normal for a beautiful lady and a gentleman to pursue each other. Heroes seek beauties, and bosses love chicks. It is not strange! If someday he doesn’t like Miss but Mister. That would be scary.”Jiang Pi
The lady in red didn’t believe what He Danggui said so much. She slightly shook her head and said, “I’ve seen it once through the small gap you were looking at. There are only five men inside, three wearing ice-made masks, and two exposed. Then two people left the room. There are not many men wearing ice-made masks as you said.”He Danggui blinked innocently, and responded in a soft voice, “Have you ever left halfway, heroine? Just now, a large group of people came down from the second floor, and they all wear ice-made masks and are dressed in official suits. I was frightened. Later, they took a wine jar and went back upstairs. Alas, I don’t know why my brother chose such an inn to live in. There are many weird people in it. Isn’t the ice-made mask very uncomfortable to stick on the face? What is that for?”The lady in red didn’t think much and replied, “It seems to be used for healing purposes, specifically for Wujianmen School. Could it be that the
With the lips quivered, He Danggui was too stunned to say something. Gazed by Duan Xiaolou with a mask, she could only nod to answer him.Duan Xiaolou smiled, “As Du Yao said, you are a gorgeous lady from the southern part. It’s a good place.”He Danggui stiffened, lowered her head, and comforted herself that it was not his fault that he couldn’t recognize her, because her appearance and dress had changed greatly. Peng Shi and Bai Yangbai could recognize her because it was her that dressed up so differently with a thin figure in Luo’s Mansion. How could a man recognize a woman with a different figure and complexion only by making eye contact on the street?Besides, why should she ask him to remember everything about her? Instead, it was better to forget her. Didn’t she always look forward to it like this? It was a good result.Duan Xiaolou noticed that He Danggui was shy and silent, instead of a sharp-tongued lady as Du Yao
Jiang Pi escaped while vomiting blood, turned his head, and saw that Liao Zhiyuan was tasting a peach. He became angry and roared with the blood spitting out of his mouth, “Master Liao, you do nothing to save me! You heartless bastard! I saved your life the day before yesterday. Don’t you know how to repay the kindness?” As he said this, he dodged Duan Xiaolou’s fist thrillingly, and felt the burning pain of his cheek swept by the fist.Liao Zhiyuan nibbled two more peaches, and responded leisurely, “Young Childe Jiang, have you heard “giving kindness without expecting rewards”? Go and ask Master Lanling for help.” He bit the peach, and gradually lost in thought.Jiang Pi almost couldn’t bear Duan Xiaolou’s fist. He felt that if he didn’t ask for foreign aid, he might be killed. At that time, he was unconscious of his face. He raised his head towards the second floor and shouted, “Brother! Song Fei! Dashing Sky Eagle! Help! Help!”But no
“A woman that every man wants to have?” Liao Zhiyuan laughed without believing it. He felt that Xue Xiao was too exaggerated, so he shook his head to retort, “You have never seen a real beauty, so you would think she is one of them. One day, if you have the privilege of seeing the group of beautiful women in the Imperial Harem, you will know who real beauties are. No wonder all men in the world want to be the emperor.”Duan Xiaolou had been immersed in killing, but he did not forget to take the opportunity to remind Liao Zhiyuan to pay attention to his words, “Bro, keep your words only here. If you leave this door, none of them will be allowed to utter! Take care of your mouth!”Liao Zhiyuan curled his lips and turned his head to educate Xue Xiao, a man who was from Nihon and was more than ten years older than him. He said in a persuasive manner, “What are the standards of a beautiful lady? Smooth jade face, feather-liked eyebrows, water-liked skin,
