But in the rivers and lakes

Chapter 21

Guishamen's business in the rivers and lakes is to take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. Its rules are strict and it has its own set of laws. The disciples in the door strictly abide by them. Once someone violates the rules of the door, they will be punished more severely tenfold punishment.They never take the business easily, but if it is next, they will not miss it, because after the first group of people fail, there will be another group of stronger and more powerful people to make up for it until the task is completed.

In recent years, ghost ghosts have seldom appeared in the rivers and lakes, which means that they are hiding in the city. First, they have made a lot of money, so there is no need to arouse public anger in the rivers and lakes. Second, it is because the bounty they want is too much. Gao, not many people in Jianghu are willing to pay that price.

Guishamen has always been ruthless in their actions. For them, every business is just a matter of doing or not doing it, and there is no such thing as impossible.The table of the man with the beard must have heard this name before, and his expression changed when he heard the words. The man with the beard and beard sat up from the table and asked hurriedly: "Junior sister, are you serious?"

The woman in red said: "I heard on the way here that Guishamen did accept the bounty from Chixiaojian. It's absolutely true, and it can't be false!"

The bearded man hurriedly asked: "Have you found out who the benefactor is?"

The woman in red shook her head and said: "I don't know, but there are not many people in Jianghu who can afford the price of ghosts. If you search carefully, it should not be difficult to find this person."

The thin and tall man shouted: "Whoever he is, it has nothing to do with us anyway! I don't think it's good to deal with the troubles caused by Wuxia Villa. Why don't we go to Wuxi City to join forces now?" lively?"

The man with the beard was worried: "Everyone in the ghost gate kills people without blinking an eye. If we accidentally bump into each other, we will have no way out."

The woman in red seemed to agree with what the slender old man said, she poked the bearded man with her arm, and said, "Senior brother, why are you getting less and less courageous? Let's go to Wuxi City just to have fun, and we don't want to talk to him." There is no reason to grab the Scarlet Heaven Sword, they have no reason to make trouble with us!"

The man with the beard is still unwilling: "Where is there to see the excitement, do I have to go to this troubled water? Forget it, forget it, my life is important, I don't want to take this risk!"

The slender elder smiled, moved closer to them, and deliberately lowered his voice: "Brother, think about it, if this Guishamen fights Wuxia Villa to the death, wouldn't we take the opportunity..." he said As he said that, he reached out his hand and shook it, raised his eyebrows at the bearded man, and smiled more obscenely.

The man with the beard has loosened his expression: "This..."

The woman in red took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table, urging: "Okay, okay, don't be a mother-in-law, it's decided like this! Let's go back to Wuxi City now, in case we go late and bump into ghosts on the way." It’s going to be miserable for those who live here, let’s go!” After she finished speaking, she pushed the man with the beard vigorously, and the tall and thin man quickly led the horse over, the man with the beard didn’t insist on seeing him anymore, and the three of them turned over, Run towards Wuxi City.

The horse's hooves kicked up countless dust, and the tea in front of Shen Yun's eyes was already splashed with a layer of dust. He raised his eyes to see Mu Yunze's expression, and saw his eyebrows move slightly, but he quickly returned to calm.Shen Yun sighed lowly, and said: "Ghost Shamen acts strangely, it's really not easy to deal with."

Mu Yun chose to take the cup of tea in front of him and pour it on the ground, then poured another cup for him, and said flatly: "Wuxia Villa is not a place that can be brought down at will."

The calmness in his eyes was beyond Shen Yun's expectation, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all, a touch of surprise floated in Shen Yun's eyes, but after a second thought, he felt that his words seemed to be correct. With Wuxia Villa's strength in the arena, they may not be able to please them well.Shen Yun didn't say anything more, just took a sip of the green tea, and the waiter in the shop brought the food, although the appearance was average, the taste was passable.

There were only the two of them left in the teahouse, the waiter was busy clearing the tables and chairs, when he heard the clear and crisp copper bells in the distance, a carriage was slowly approaching along the mountain road.The waiter waited impatiently at the crossroads to greet the guests. Shen Yun glanced sideways and saw a copper bell hanging from the four eaves of the carriage, which made a clear and clear sound as it walked. It was the most ordinary and ordinary coarse cloth gown, with an expressionless face.The carriage is carved out of wood, the lattice doors are extraordinarily delicate, and the cart is pulled by a tall horse with a bluish-black color. Judging from its coat color and shape, it is actually a very rare Wusun Tianma.

The Wusun Tianma came from the Wusun Kingdom in the far north of the Great Wall. This small border country is good at hunting and herding. The Wusun Tianma it raised was once a tribute to the imperial court. It was merciless, and he didn't take this treasure horse seriously.Although the clerk in the shop didn't recognize the horse, he still recognized the expensive carriage, his mouth was almost grinning behind his ears, and before the person approached, he was already calling loudly: "Guest officer, how about a drink recently?" Sip some tea and rest your feet!"

The driver didn't even lift his eyelids, and the horse's hooves passed by the shop clerk, who was scratching his head in disappointment, when suddenly there was a knocking sound in the carriage.The slight sound came into Shen Yun's ears, which made him startled suddenly, and Su Lianmo's actions in the gambling house unconsciously appeared in his mind, and he shook his head and smiled, Su Lianmo is now in Wuxi City, no matter what, Nor will it appear in this place.

The carriage stopped slowly, and the driver stood aside respectfully and opened the compartment. A slender figure got in from the compartment, looked up at the scorching sun, and then walked out on the steps.He was wearing a black gold silk dress, with a gilded brocade belt inlaid with precious jade around his waist, his eyebrows were slanted into his temples, his slender Danfeng eyes were a bit cold and arrogant, he glanced at his surroundings disdainfully, and stayed On Shen Yun and Mu Yunxuan, a smile gradually appeared on the corners of their mouths.

The shop waiter was about to come up to greet him, but the driver stopped him, and the man staggered to Shen Yun's table, and asked with a smile: "Can you two brothers let me share a table?"

Shen Yun looked around and said: "It seems that there are still many vacancies here."

The man had a natural expression on his face: "But I only like this table." After finishing speaking, he took a step forward, sat down, cupped his hands and said, "My next Luo Sheng, what do you call me?"

Shen Yun returned the courtesy and said: "It's just a chance meeting, a mere name doesn't matter."

Luo Sheng lowered his eyebrows and saw the wine bag on his waist, and said: "Brother Tai seems to be a person who loves wine, why did he only drink tea when he got here?"

Shen Yun was noncommittal: "This is a teahouse, so we naturally want to drink tea."

Luo Sheng laughed as if hearing the funniest words: "Could it be that in Xiongtai's eyes, teahouses can only drink tea, while taverns can only drink alcohol?"

Shen Yun was not annoyed at all, and said lightly: "Wine and tea are different only in the taste of the mouth. Although wine is a good thing to relieve sorrow, when traveling long distances, it is naturally not as good as tea to quench your thirst."

Luo Sheng half-closed his eyes and asked: "So the two of you are going to travel a long way?"

Shen Yun smiled and said: "The road is at your feet, far and near, follow your heart."

Luo Sheng nodded in agreement, slowly shifted his gaze to Mu Yunxuan, and said with a smile: "I also drove a long way to come here. I was originally going to Wuxi City, but now I meet two people. It may be possible to end the trip earlier.”

Mu Yunze looked into those provocative eyes, and said, "The current Wuxi City is still a place of right and wrong, and you really should turn back."

Luo Sheng leaned his body towards him: "Young master, tell me, is there any place in this world that is not right and wrong?"

He was very close, only a few inches away from Mu Yunze, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, but there was a cold light in those long and narrow Danfeng eyes, and he stared firmly at Mu Yunze's face.Shen Yun frowned slightly, picked up a bowl and put it in front of Luo Sheng with a "snap", and said: "Meeting is a fate, I will replace wine with tea, first toast Mr. Luo."

The pointed spout tilted from Shen Yun's hand, and the boiling hot tea was poured into the bowl at a high place, without a single drop splashing on the table.Luo Sheng quietly looked at the bowl in front of him, the tea gradually rose up, and when it was about to overflow the mouth of the bowl, Shen Yun put away the copper pot just right, and the corners of the bowl by the table were clean without a trace of water stains.

Shen Yun raised his hand and said, "Please."

Luo Sheng laughed: "It is said in the world that Ranger Shen Yun is the best in swordsmanship and movement, but it turns out that the way of pouring tea is also the first."

Shen Yun seemed not at all surprised that the other party would know his name: "Your Excellency has been playing the side drum for so long, isn't it very calm?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Since we have finished talking, please both of you give me the things."

He spread his hands on the table, with a relaxed expression as if he was asking a passerby for a bowl of water to quench his thirst, he even hooked his fingers, and looked at Mu Yunze with a smile on his face.Mu Yunze clenched the sword in his hand, and said mockingly: "Your Excellency is calm enough."

Luo Sheng shook his head and sighed, "When you receive money from someone, it should be a matter of loyalty. I have no reason to refuse the business that comes to your door. After all, there are not many people in this world who would have trouble with money."

Mu Yunze sneered: "It is true that there are not many people who have trouble with money, but there are probably even fewer people who have trouble with their own lives."

Luo Sheng asked with great interest: "Master Mu, is he talking about me?"

Mu Yunze glanced at him: "At least you still have some self-knowledge."
