The red-robed woman smiled at Duan Mujie's silly expression.
Duan Mujie didn't know what he was laughing about, but his face turned even redder.
He was at a loss for what to do, and didn't know what to do.The red-robed woman smiled for a long time, and finally had enough.
She propped herself up and approached Duan Mujie.
She reached out a hand and patted Duan Mujie's shoulder.
"Heh, you look silly.
How about we be friends?"Duan Mujie had never been so close to her before.
He could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the woman in red.
Deep within his heart, there was a faint desire squirming.
He couldn't tell what that feeling was.
After all, it had never been strange before..."Hey!
I'm talking to you.
Are you deaf?" The woman in red was obviously a little unhappy and pouted.Duan Mujie immediately responded, "No, I'm not deaf.
My name is Duan Mujie.
It's nice to meet you.""Duan Mujie..." The woman in red repeated the three words before her eyes lit up again.
"Seeing how obedient you are, I'll tell you my name.
Wash your ears well!
My name is...
Rong...
Dandan!"."Duan Mujie..." The red-robed lady repeated the three words, and then her eyes suddenly lit up again.
"Seeing how obedient you are, I'll tell you my name.
Wash your ears well!
My name is...
Murong...
Dandan!"As Murong Dandan spoke a little quickly, it was already too late when she realized that he wanted to correct himself.
Duan Mujie lowered his head and muttered, "Murong...
Eggy?" Then, he raised his head and looked at Murong Dandan with curiosity and doubt.
"What Eggy?"Murong Dandan clutched his chest and took two steps back.
He looked furiously at Duan Mujie, who had an innocent look on his face.
He almost died of anger."My name is Murong Dandan!
Dandan!" Murong Dandan suddenly shouted at Duan Mujie.
Duan Mujie could also feel a breeze blowing past him, and he could tell that the source of the wind was Murong Dandan's mouth.Duan Mujie knew that he couldn't be disrespectful to women, so he immediately nodded towards Murong Dandan and said, "Oh!
You're Murong Dandan, Dandan."Murong Dandan laughed heartily when he saw Duan Mujie's expression.
This little man really was interesting.However, her face didn't change much.
She looked up at the sky and said to Duan Mujie, "Since you've made a mistake, I'll let you off once.
Alright, I'm leaving.
We'll meet again in the future."After speaking, Murong Dandan shook his hands and left.
Only then did Duan Mujie realize that the original thief had vanished from sight.Murong Dandan was actually feeling guilty.
There were two bulging bags of money in her sleeves.
One was a gorgeously dressed old man.
The bags of money he used were the most commonly used money bags.
Therefore, Murong Dandan easily changed the old man's bags.Murong Dandan's very developed fingers could feel a huge gem in the yellow pouch.
No wonder the old man was so anxious and scared.The other bag of money belonged to the idiot named Duan Mujie.
As soon as she reached out and patted Duan Mujie's shoulder, she used her other hand to bring it over.
It was large enough, heavy enough.
There must be quite a bit of money in it.
Thinking about Duan Mujie's silly appearance, Murong Dandan called out, "Idiot!""..."But at this time, Duan Mujie prepared to go to a restaurant for dinner.
He casually entered a restaurant that looked very decent.
Dian Xiaoer saw that Duan Mujie's clothes were still fairly plain, and there was a longsword hanging on his waist.
He thought that he was a rich man, so he came over and greeted him with a smile."Lil' Ye, just tell me what you want to eat and drink.
Although the small shops are not all full, there are all kinds of things in the capital city."As soon as Dian Xiaoer opened his mouth, he immediately spoke up.Duan Mujie asked for a few dishes that sounded decent.
Then, he sat on one side drinking tea and used his strength to eavesdrop on the people around him.
He knew that it was easiest for him to know what he wanted to know at such an occasion.However, he didn't hear any useful information about the manor.
It didn't take long for Dian Xiaoer to bring the dishes that he wanted.Duan Mujie didn't care about much else.
He wolfed down the food by himself.
To be honest, the food here wasn't a lie.
It was spicy and sweet.This was the most delicious thing Duan Mujie had ever eaten besides the plain lotus congee that his master had made.Just as Duan Mujie was enjoying his meal, two people entered the room.
One was dressed in black and the other in white.
In terms of looks, they were all first class handsome men.
The one in white was even more handsome, just like a woman.
However, the two moustaches on his lips made people think that he was a woman.Both of them didn't look old.Although there were countless people in this world who would not attract much attention if these two were to be thrown into the crowd, Duan Mujie, who was eating and drinking, could still sense the indistinct auras emitted from their bodies.However, Duan Mujie didn't pay too much attention to them.
Since they met by chance, it was better to avoid unnecessary troubles.Two minutes later, Duan Mujie finally finished eating.
Dian Xiaoer ran over and saw that the table was full of plates that had been completely eaten.
His face revealed a hint of surprise.There was no need for Dian Xiaoer to ask any further questions.
Duan Mujie stood up and stretched out his hand to pay for his meal.
However, something had happened that had caused him to panic.
His purse had disappeared!Duan Mujie frantically searched all over his body but didn't find his own money bag.Dian Xiaoer could guess what was going on when he saw Duan Mujie's expression.
The smile on his face immediately turned cold.Dian Xiaoer stopped cleaning up the table, stood up straight, and said to Duan Mujie, "Dear guest, your meal is worth ten silver taels." His eyes had already told Duan Mujie what he was about to say, "Quickly pay up."How could Duan Mujie not understand what he was saying?
Under Dian Xiaoer's aggressive gaze, he gave up on the idea of finding the money bag on his body, and stopped thinking about where his money bag would have been stolen at any time.
He sincerely said to Dian Xiaoer, "That...
my money bag has been stolen.
Please give me two days, and I will return it to you.""..."Only then did Dian Xiaoer show his true colors.
"You're making it sound so easy.
What if you don't return the money?
The capital is so big, where are we going to find you?
Besides, even if you return the money on time, we won't agree to it."Duan Mujie said with difficulty, "Then what should we do?"Dian Xiaoer pondered for a moment.
He felt that he didn't have the authority to deal with such matters, so he turned to Duan Mujie and said, "Wait for me to call the shopkeeper." He had only taken a few steps before he returned and looked at Duan Mujie with a puzzled expression.Duan Mujie didn't know what his gaze meant, so he asked, "Is there anything else?" He knew that this was his mistake, so his tone had always been very calm.Dian Xiaoer looked Duan Mujie up and down again, as if he wanted to find something on his body.
"I say...
I'll just call our shopkeeper here.
I don't want you to slip away."Dian Xiaoer's words caused Duan Mujie to be frustrated, but he couldn't say anything.
However, more and more people had already turned to look at him, making him feel extremely embarrassed.Dian Xiaoer shouted towards the stairs.
Soon, a fat middle-aged man came down.
His footsteps made a thumping sound on the wooden stairs, making people worry whether or not he would be able to go downstairs."What's the matter?
Why are you screaming?
If you disturb the guests upstairs, I don't think you'll be able to survive in the capital." The shopkeeper's voice was filled with impatience, and he didn't even look at Duan Mujie, who was standing next to Dian Xiaoer.Dian Xiaoer felt a sense of panic in the shopkeeper's impatience, so he quickly pointed at Duan Mujie and said, "Shopkeeper, this little...
he doesn't have the money to pay for his meal, so I want to ask the shopkeeper to make a decision."When the shopkeeper heard Dian Xiaoer's words, he looked at Duan Mujie with contempt and annoyance.To his surprise, Duan Mujie didn't reveal any fear or uneasiness towards him.
Furthermore, Duan Mujie was half a head taller than him, and was already looking down on him.
This made him extremely displeased.The shopkeeper decided to deal with this young man.
He turned to Dian Xiaoer and asked, "How much did he eat?""Ten taels in total.
He said he'd put them on credit, but I didn't agree."The shopkeeper shifted his fat neck a little and shifted his gaze back to Duan Mujie.
"You really don't have money to pay?"Duan Mujie nodded.
In his heart, he didn't really like this fat and fierce shopkeeper."Then what do you plan to do?
How do you compensate?""I'll go out and look for something to do soon and return the money as soon as possible.""Aren't you from the capital city?" The shopkeeper was in a difficult position.
If this young man was in the capital city, he might even be able to extort a small sum from his family...
"Then leave your sword behind to repay the debt." When the shopkeeper saw the longsword in Duan Mujie's hand, he knew that this sword was definitely not worth more than ten taels of silver.Duan Mujie naturally wouldn't agree to such a request.
This sword was given to him by his master and an old friend who had accompanied him for ten years.
There was no way to replace it.The shopkeeper thought that he had reached his limit and thought that he and this kind of person who didn't have any prominent family background but had a sword didn't waste time talking."Then you can just leave your arm behind.
This is our rule here.
We can't allow anyone who eats white food to be so presumptuous here." The shopkeeper didn't wait for Duan Mujie to finish speaking.
He waved his hand, and several tall and strong men appeared behind him."Take care of him properly.
Let's see if he dares to come here for free food in the future!
Hmph!" After saying that, the shopkeeper turned around and walked towards the stairs.
There was a group of masters waiting for him to serve them personally upstairs.The burly men didn't say much, nor did they ask for Duan Mujie's name.
Instead, they picked up a wooden stick and began to attack Duan Mujie.They were sure that Duan Mujie wouldn't dare to pull out his sword.Instantly, there was a commotion in the restaurant, but many people quickly calmed down and watched the exciting battles between several people in the middle of the hall.The most depressed person was none other than Duan Mujie.
He thought about it and didn't retaliate.
After all, it was his fault.
However, he didn't know what to do afterwards.A burly man howled as he swung his staff from Duan Mujie's right.
Duan Mujie had just dodged the attack of the previous burly man, and it was difficult for him to dodge again.
He could only raise his scabbard and block it with his left hand.
BANG!
The wooden staff collided with the scabbard.
The staff broke, and the burly man was afraid that Duan Mujie would draw his sword, so he quickly backed away.Duan Mujie hadn't even retracted his body when the other two men swung their staffs at him.
Their faces were filled with ferocity.
If they attacked from two different directions, it would be difficult for Duan Mujie to dodge.Duan Mujie was also a little angry.
Even the bodhisattvas had a bit of earthiness.
He shouted and then quickly unsheathed the sword in his left hand like lightning.
Silver Ling's voice rang out one after another.
The seven or eight men only saw a flash of silver light in front of them.
When they opened their eyes again, they were surprised to find that only half of the wooden stick in their hands was left.Then, he hears the sound of several wooden rods landing on the ground.This was the moment when she closed her eyes!
She didn't even have the time to do it on purpose.Duan Mujie looked at the stunned faces of the big men and his heart was filled with contempt.
"I already told you that I would pay you back!
But you guys are so aggressive.
Don't blame me for being heartless!"The shopkeeper had just reached the stairwell when he saw Duan Mujie pull out his longsword.
Not only did the sound of silver lings ring out, but there was also the sound of cold light.
When Duan Mujie stopped, the longsword appeared even more dazzlingly in his vision.This was indeed a treasured sword.
The shopkeeper's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
He was a person who liked to collect treasures, and his love for treasured swords was even more fanatical than that of women.The shopkeeper immediately whispered a few words to one of his attendants and slowly went downstairs.Several burly men holding wooden bats didn't dare to attack Duan Mujie anymore, so they didn't want to take the initiative to retreat either.
They simply looked at each other awkwardly.Duan Mujie originally wanted to go out to find something to do and return the money.
Later, when he saw the shopkeeper go upstairs, he stopped and waited for the shopkeeper to speak."Hehehe...
Young hero, your sword technique is not bad, but your sword is even better!" The shopkeeper's cold and impatient expression turned amiable.Duan Mujie didn't care what he said, nor did he have a good impression of this fatty.
"I'm defending myself.
I'll go and pay you back now.""Hehehe...
Young hero, you don't have to waste your time.
In fact, just one thing on you can let you eat here for half a month.
If you're willing to give me that thing." As he spoke, the shopkeeper stared at the sword in Duan Mujie's hand in a daze.Duan Mujie noticed the shopkeeper's gaze and immediately understood that he was still thinking about his sword.After hearing this, Duan Mujie said to the shopkeeper, "It's impossible!
Wait for me for two days!" Then he turned and left.The smile on the shopkeeper's face suddenly turned into one of rage, and he shouted, "Kid, stop!
Do you think this is a place where you can come and go as you please?!
Martial Master Song, please take him down!" Just as Duan Mujie turned around, a giant dark-faced man brandished a black steel blade and attacked him..Duan Mujie knew that they had really made a move this time, so he didn't hold back anymore.
He waved his arm, and a silver light appeared in his hand.
His sword blocked off Master Song's black saber.
Then, without pausing for a moment, he swung it towards Master Song's left arm.Song Wushi was also a person who possessed profound skills.
He immediately blocked Duan Mujie's longsword with a horizontal saber.
Bang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
The people around him noticed that Song Wushi, who was as tall as an iron tower, had actually taken several steps back.
His eyes were filled with disbelief..A youngster used an iron sword that was as thin as his to repel a burly man.What kind of accident was this?!
One hundred diners had a hundred different thoughts.
How many people would treat it as a lively show?
Some people thought that this dark-bellied restaurant had kicked an iron plate.
Some even felt sorry for this young heir.They knew that this hotel had a very strong backer.
No matter how powerful you were, one couldn't compete with the government.Song Wushi was pushed back by Duan Mujie's sword strike, but Duan Mujie didn't seem to be affected at all.
He was even more horrified.
He immediately knew that he couldn't be his opponent.The shopkeeper had also noticed the situation, and he didn't want his own people to die in vain.
Seeing Duan Mujie standing proudly with his sword, he knew that this young man didn't want to kill anyone.
However, he was determined to obtain Duan Mujie's treasured sword.
Now, he could only rely on the authorities to move against him...The shopkeeper grabbed onto the burly man who was about to rush over.
Then, he snapped at Duan Mujie, "You didn't pay for your meal, and you even wanted to injure someone with your weapon!
I'll go inform the authorities to arrest you right now!" Then, the shopkeeper waved his hand at the burly man behind him.
The burly man understood and immediately pulled out a broadsword from his clothes.Then he leapt up and surrounded Duan Mujie.After that, the shopkeeper called out to Dian Xiaoer, who was already dumbstruck.
"Go inform the governor that there are people here who have eaten and committed crimes.
Get him to send some guards to capture the criminals!
Hurry up!!""Understood!" Dian Xiaoer didn't dare say anything else.
After hearing this, he immediately ran out of the door.Dian Xiaoer had just reached the gate when a black light suddenly flashed in front of him.
A black-robed man stood in front of him like a mountain.The man in black had a cold expression.
He looked down at Dian Xiaoer and said to the shopkeeper, "Don't report this to the authorities.
We've paid for this little brother's meal."Just as the man in black finished speaking, a white clothed man who sat at the same table as him stood up and took out a silver ingot from his cuff and threw it into the shopkeeper's arms.
He said, "Here's thirty taels.
Let this little brother go.
I don't think he did it on purpose.
""..."The white-shirted man's voice was a little delicate, but it carried with it an irresistible majesty.The shopkeeper did not recognize these two nosy fellows.
He only thought that they were ordinary visitors.
Although he was unhappy, Money still accepted the money.
"Let's just forget about the money for the meal.
However, he has committed a serious crime.
We need to report this to the authorities.
Otherwise, what will happen if he eats tyrant's meals everywhere?
Unless he hands over his weapon, the governor will find out whether he has a criminal record or not.
Do not mess around with a rat."."Let's just forget about the money for the meal, but he has committed murder.
This must be reported to the government.
Otherwise, what will happen if he eats tyrant's meals everywhere in the future?
Unless he hands over his weapon and asks the governor to investigate whether he has committed a crime or whether he is willing to let him go.
Don't take advantage of meddle in other people's business!"The shopkeeper was enraged, but a black shadow quickly approached in front of him.
Then, he heard a crisp and clear "pa" sound coming from his face.
Finally, he felt the burning pain on his face.Blood flowed from the corner of the shopkeeper's mouth as he stared blankly at the man in black.
After much difficulty, he reached out his finger and pointed at the man in black, "You...
you actually dared to hit me!"The man in black took out a gold plate from his robe and turned it in front of the shopkeeper's eyes.
"Prepare for your funeral.
The royal court will not kill your family."The shopkeeper looked at the golden words on the golden plate that were boiling hot, and his body began to tremble violently.
The identity and meaning represented on the golden plate was no longer someone that he and his backer could speak to.The shopkeeper was completely stunned.
His subordinates didn't dare to move about.
The white-shirted man walked up to Duan Mujie and smiled at him, "You can leave now.
Everything here belongs to us."Duan Mujie looked at the white-robed man in front of him and felt that his eyes were like a lake.
"Thank you all.
I will definitely return your money.
My name is Duan Mujie.
May I ask what your name is?"The white-shirted man suddenly laughed when he heard Wen Tao's words, "My name is Gu...
Xue.
I don't dare to be your brother, I'm not as old as you!
Hehe..."Duan Mujie couldn't tell him what he was laughing about.
He also thought that he couldn't delay any longer.
His mission hadn't been completed and he wasn't familiar with the place.
It would be better for him to solve the problem of eating as soon as possible.
He cupped his fists towards the white-shirted man and said, "Thank you, brother.
I'll take my leave first.
I will return all your money to you in the future.""..."After speaking, Duan Mujie strode out of the hotel.The man in black walked over and said to the man in white, "Miss, do you think that person can be trusted?
This isn't just a waste of thirty taels, the most important thing is that it might be a waste of your good intentions...""Haha...
I saw that he was quite skilled, so I decided to help him.
If he breaks his promise, then we won't lose anything.
We'll all be friends."
