Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Acquaintances in Tianshui City

The thin man named Lu San looked the two of them up and down: "You are not friends of City Lord Shui at all, but you know the code to enter the city, unless you are taught by Qianshou, I think you will come here even if you know Jin." Miss Lan took two steps back and looked at him in horror. "Knowing that our Water City Lord and Jin Huanlai have enmity, you still dare to sneak into Tianshui City, you are not small!" Lu San raised his eyebrows and sneered, looking around, "And you shouldn't choose to do it here at all, there are at least three places nearby. Dark whistle, as long as I open my mouth, they will definitely come."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaohu's hands did not tremble, and Miss Lan also calmed down a bit, and forced a smile: "You don't know how to speak." "how do you know?" "Because your martial arts are no better than mine, if you really want someone to arrest us, you should have done so when I made the move just now, but you haven't done so until now, it seems that we can discuss it." Lu San looked at her for a moment, and applauded, "Smart! Smart!" It's good if we can discuss it, Miss Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "You are not easy, tell me, what are the conditions."

"There is no condition, as long as you answer one of my questions." "what is the problem?" Lu San said seriously: "Since you are from Jin Huanlai, what are you doing with our Water City Lord?" Although he was asking her, his eyes were looking at the small river beside him. Jiang Xiaohu smiled wryly and remained silent. Miss Lan was suspicious: "Is this question very important?" Lu San snorted coldly: "Of course it's important. If you trespass into Tianshui City to ask to see the Lord of Water City, I should know whether you have any malicious intentions, whether you are an enemy or a friend."

In fact, it was an accident to see the lightness of the water, and it was nothing to tell him, but Miss Lan always felt that something was wrong, and looked at him from top to bottom for a long time, suddenly her eyes lit up, and the fear in her heart disappeared without a trace. On the contrary, he burst out laughing with a "puchi" and said, "So, as long as I tell you, you will let us go?" "certainly." "It seems like a good deal." "You should know that one who knows the times is a hero." "I know." "Say." "I will not tell you."

Never expecting that she would refuse, Lu San was stunned, and his face darkened for a while: "I intended to let you go, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant, so I have no choice but to call someone." Miss Lan smiled even more happily: "Call me." Seeing that she didn't like this, Lu San rolled his eyes: "You probably don't know how Tianshui City treats spies..." "I really don't know," Miss Lan interrupted him without hesitation, pulling Jiang Xiaohu beside him, and winking at him, "But I know, if we are caught, we will definitely confess to a bigger spy."

Jiang Xiaohu finally laughed: "My wife is smart." Lu San said calmly, "What do you mean?" "It's nothing interesting, I'm just wondering, if Shui Fengqing knows that someone from the Thousand Hands Sect has come to the city, how do you think he will treat it?" Miss Lan's eyes were bent, she pointed at Lu San, and said every word, "Qiu , spirit, spirit!" The thin man Lu San stared at her for a long time, finally stomped his feet, stretched out his hand and grabbed the mask from his face. Suddenly, the beard on his face disappeared, replaced by a smooth face, a pair of cute and cute black eyes. woman in black.

She bit her lip and said bitterly: "My disguise technique is the best in the religion, how did you see it!" "Men don't have such beautiful hair," Miss Lan pointed at her head with a smile, and then pointed at her feet, "nor can they wear two pairs of shoes at the same time." Although the hair is tied high on the top of the head, it is black and shiny, and there are a pair of huge cowhide boots on the feet, which are no different from ordinary men. She didn't pay too much attention to it, but Miss Lan knew that there must be a pair of black-soled golden boots inside those cowhide boots. A big man's feet should not look too small.

Qiu Lingling lowered her head, frowned and complained: "The two pairs of shoes are too heavy!" Jiang Xiaohu looked at the mask in her hand, and shook his head: "If Lao Jin sees your scruffy beard, he will definitely die of fright." Qiu Lingling curled her lips: "What's the matter, he even pretended to be a woman!" As soon as these words came out, both Jiang Xiaohu and Miss Lan were dumbfounded. Jiang Xiaohu laughed loudly: "You, you said that Lao Jin had pretended to be a woman?" Realizing that he had slipped his tongue, Qiu Lingling panicked, shaking his head and waving his hands: "No, I was just joking."

Miss Lan laughed out of breath, and nodded cooperatively: "I know, he didn't." Qiu Lingling became more and more anxious: "Hey, I didn't say anything, so don't talk nonsense!" "Yes, you didn't say anything, I thought about it myself," Jiang Xiaohu tried his best to hold back a smile, and pretended to think about it for a while, "Lao Jin's face must look good as a woman, but he is a little too big." Miss Lan disagreed: "If that face is a woman, it would be unattractive." "No, it looks good!" "Ugly!"

The two couldn't stop arguing, and turned to Qiu Lingling at the same time. Qiu Lingling rolled his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and walked a few steps in a decent manner: "Only he and I know about this matter, it's okay to tell you, but you are not allowed to tell him." Jiang Xiaohu rubbed his chin, embarrassed: "No, that kid always amuses me. Now that I have such a good handle, I don't laugh at him. I'm really annoyed." Qiu Lingling was angry: "Then I won't say anything." "It's okay not to say anything, but if your leader knows that the story of him pretending to be a woman is reported..." Miss Lan put on a straight face, imitating Jin Huanlai's appearance, and crossed her arms, "I will punish you for your crime."

Qiu Lingling said, "Then what do you want?" Jiang Xiaohu said bluntly, "That's okay, you can pay back my one million gambling debt for him." "One million?" Qiu Lingling and Miss Lan gasped at the same time. Jiang Xiaohu explained with a sad face: "I've been too poor recently, so I had to go to that guy to bet, but he was unlucky and lost a million dollars. Although I'm just a poor boy, I also know the words 'willing to bet and admit defeat'" Who would have thought that the dignified leader of the Qianshou Cult would renege on his debts, and he would not even be able to afford to lose a million." Qiu Lingling feigned surprise: "He's blaming you?" One million, no wonder he's blaming it. Jiang Xiaohu sighed: "That guy is an expert at paying his debts, and he would run away when he mentioned gambling debts, so I decided to ask his wife to ask for it." Qiu Lingling was very happy that Jin Huanlai was his wife. She thought for a while and said, "Of course I can take his money, but you are not allowed to tell him what happened just now." "Okay." The couple agreed in unison. Miss Lan added: "Let's talk about him pretending to be a woman first." Qiu Lingling blinked, and couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of this, when the old leader was around, he told us to steal Bailiying's fire toad, and don't disturb others. You know that Bailiying People are very cautious, so Jin Huanlai had to pretend to be a woman, but Bai Liying vomited when she saw him, so he took advantage of the chaos and got it cheap." Jiang Xiaohu and Miss Lan were both amused and shocked. "The Huochan case is famous all over the world, so it was he who did it," Miss Lan smiled and bent her waist: "It is said that Bailiying fell into the hands of a peerless beauty, but it was unexpectedly because of this, no wonder Bailiying Liying will never mention it again." Jiang Xiaohu nodded: "It seems that the news that the new leader of Qianshoujiao is a girl also came from that incident." After speaking, he sighed again: "Playing a woman... So it turns out that Lao Jin still has this habit, but he never Never mentioned it to me." "That's not the case, he doesn't want to pretend to be a woman!" Qiu Lingling argued, "He just wanted to..." Having said this, she stopped suddenly, lowered her head, and stared at her toes in a daze, with a look of joy and sorrow. Seeing her like this, Miss Lan was astonished. Jiang Xiaohu coughed, and changed the topic: "Why do you come here, does Lao Jin know?" Qiu Lingling raised her face, regained her composure, and looked indifferent: "I heard that the golden autumn in Tianshui City will be very lively, so I'll sneak in to have fun." Miss Lan was nervous: "So, you should pretend to be a commoner." "No one will find out," Qiu Lingling shook the mask in her hand proudly, "My disguise technique is very powerful. I pretended to be that Lu San for several days, but no one recognized me." Jiang Xiaohu smiled wryly: "Ancestor Qiu, if you are so powerful, how could we recognize you? If you fall into Shui Fengqing's hands, things will be a little troublesome." "No way," Qiu Lingling put on her mask again, turned to leave, "Be careful, I'll go back first, remember to come to me when the golden autumn meeting is over tomorrow, I know how to get out of the city." Miss Lan held her back: "The elder brother asked, how do you explain?" Qiu Lingling's eyes rolled: "I said that you were left by the Shuicheng Lord to participate in the Golden Autumn Meeting. Don't worry, it's just a small branch, and you won't have the courage to pursue it." "Alright," Miss Lan let go, "You have to be careful." "Do not worry." After watching her go far away, the two came back to their senses, Miss Lan looked at Jiang Xiaohu, and suddenly smiled: "She likes Master Jin very much." Jiang Xiaohu nodded: "Not bad." "Everyone knows that Sect Master Jin stole Shui Fengqing's millennium warm jade cup, and the two of them have a lot of hatred. She must have seen us go to the city to find Shui Fengqing, and she was afraid that we would betray Sect Leader Jin, so she deliberately tested us. .” Jiang Xiaohu smiled: "My wife, do you blame her?" Miss Lan shook her head: "If it were us, we would be so skeptical. Master Jin is your friend. It is a good thing that she can protect you for you. There is nothing wrong with it." Jiang Xiaohu hugged her: "My wife is really sensible." Miss Lan glared at him curiously, "Does Master Jin like her?" Jiang Xiaohu sighed and didn't answer: "It's good that my wife likes me. It's getting dark, so let's find an inn." Back on the main street in the city, it was almost dusk, the two found an inn casually, the shopkeeper was very friendly, they heard that as long as the two of them shared a room, they knew they were a couple, so they immediately ordered Xiaoer to arrange a room, and while they were together People strike up a conversation. "You two are here to see the Golden Autumn Festival, right?" "yes." "There are a lot of people coming back here, and it's very lively. You two might as well stay in the small shop for a night in peace." The shopkeeper pushed away the abacus, quickly identified the key people, and smiled at Miss Lan. "It's getting late now, I don't know Do you two want some food and wine?" Miss Lan leaned on the counter, promised, and then remembered something: "Old man, except for the guests invited by the master of Shui City, everyone in Tianshui City is their own people. Is the inn open for business?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Is this the girl's first time here? There are many people in and out of the city, and they are all doing business. It's just that their details are all recorded there, and they don't dare to talk nonsense when they go out." Miss Lan suddenly realized that Tianshui City was not as isolated from the world as it had been said in the legend. Jiang Xiaohu touched her: "Honey, I'm hungry, let's eat first." Just as Miss Lan was about to nod, there was a burst of cheers outside the door. "Water City Lord has returned to the city!" "real?" "His car just entered the city, go and have a look!" People rushed out from all directions, men and women, old and young, rushing past the door like a tide, and Miss Lan was also excited, she pulled up the river and was about to run: "Go and see, the Lord of Water City is back! !" The rivers and lakes do not move. Miss Lan was surprised: "What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xiaohu looked at her pitifully: "Will my wife not go?" Miss Lan hesitated: "I heard that City Master Shui's martial arts are very powerful, so I want to go and see." "You are my wife, you shouldn't look at other men." "Who said this!" "Get married and obey your husband, hasn't your wife read the book?" Miss Lan had nothing to say, she looked at her husband, and then at the door, but she still couldn't resist the temptation of the gentle breeze outside, so she comforted him softly: "Xiaohu, don't be angry, I'll come back after just one look, Just one glance, you wait here for me." After saying that, he let go of his hand and ran away. Seeing his wife abandoning him and running out the door, Jiang Xiaohu was so depressed that he sat alone at the table, worrying about the table of wine and food. Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, the shopkeeper felt infinitely sympathetic, and reminded him: "Young man, the wife is there to take care of, not beg for." Jiang Xiaohu sighed: "I want to control it very much, but I can't." "If she is disobedient, she should call." "I can't beat her." The shopkeeper looked him up and down, looking like a ghost: "You are so big, why can't you even beat a woman? This woman is not obedient if you don't beat me. I think back when I was young..." "What happened when you were young?" With a loud noise, a copper basin hit the counter. Looking at the old woman next to him, the shopkeeper's face turned pale and he stuttered: "This... this..." "I still have the face to talk about how you coaxed me back then. I was always blind before agreeing to marry you. I haven't lived a good life for a few days. Don't tell me, now you don't take me seriously anymore , What am I doing alive, let’s just die together!" The more the old woman spoke, the more sad she became, she grabbed him, cried and scuffled, and kept bumping her head against him. The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was sweating, comforting him, parrying with his hands, and slipping upstairs with his feet. Jiang Xiaohu was dumbfounded. "Look, you can't beat your wife, unless you want to be beaten by your wife." A soft laugh sounded in my ears. "Lan Xinluo!" There is a kind of woman who will not look ugly no matter what she wears, Lan Xinluo is exactly this kind of woman, today she changed into a pure white dress, it was as white as snow, as pure and pure as snow, the coquettish beauty of the past was gone. Jiang Xiaohu opened his mouth wide and looked at her in disbelief. Lan Xinluo didn't care, brushed her hair lightly, sat down on his left side, looked at the food and drink on the table: "Your wife has already left, if you don't eat these food and drink, it will be cold." Jiang Xiaohu regained his composure: "She will come back." "You do trust her." "She is my wife and treats me very well." "You don't remember who I am." "You are her sister." "Do you think I'm unbearable?" Unexpectedly, Lan Xinluo didn't pester him as usual, she just glanced at him, her eyes were still charming, but there was a hint of sadness, "I often seduce men, But never really with them…” Jiang Xiaohu looked at her and said nothing. "You think I like this very much?" She lowered her eyes and said softly, "I have my own difficulties, and you will know in the future that I am only controlled by others." Jiang Xiaohu was taken aback: "Who is so bold?" Lan Xinluo didn't answer, she was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her face and looked outside the door: "If you don't want to die, don't tell her everything, you should remember this sentence." Jiang Xiaohu was stunned for a long time, showing a look of panic: "Master Lan doesn't know about this?" "If it wasn't for Daddy, why would I do this?" She shook her head, "This time, City Lord Shui sent a post to invite Daddy, and Daddy gave the post to me. I didn't expect you to come too. Now that the only one left in the Jiang family is you, it's all the more important." Pay more attention to the people around you, you must remember my words, I will never harm you." Jiang Xiaohu looked disbelieving: "My wife treats me very well, why should I trust you?" Lan Xin smiled, looking straight at him with beautiful eyes, extraordinarily bright and firm: "Because I believe that you are definitely not as useless as in the legend." After speaking, she got up and left on her own, leaving Jiang Xiaohu at the table in a daze.
