Chapter 8 The sword test is imminent, the restaurant encounter

Xiushui County is located in the middle of Youzhou, and further north is the famous Jianlu.

The sword test is approaching, and Xiushui County was originally deserted and leisurely.

Unfamiliar faces kept pouring in.

Daoist, martial artist, Buddhist, Confucian...

Three days before the start of the sword test, Jiangnan came to Xiushui.

Carry a pendant called Qingluo with you.

It stands to reason that a goblin who has the seal of heaven cannot leave the earth under normal circumstances.

For example, the old land of Xunyang.

He has been in the Xunyang land for thousands of years and has never left.

But there are those who follow the rules, and there are those who do not.

What's more, it's still in the age of hiding in Heaven.

Everyone has their own ideas.

The little tree god is one of them.

When she learned that Jiangnan was going to Jianlu, she followed.

According to her own words, although she is not strong, she is skilled in escaping.

If it is in danger, it will run by itself, and it will not be a drag on Jiangnan at all.

Very proud look.

Seeing that this little guy also seemed to know Youzhou quite well, Jiangnan brought her along.

Due to the special reason that it is backed by Jianlu, the overall armament of Xiushui County is much stronger than that of Xunyang.

Among them, the predecessor of the Heijia garrison was the frontier five.

After all, the day of the sword trial.

There are always some unruly Jianghu tourists who fight bravely and bring disaster to the city.

For this reason, Xiushui was also dubbed "a city with a major overhaul".

At the gate of the city, a team of guards lined up on both sides with a solemn expression.

There is an endless stream of people entering the city, showing the fish card, paying the silver, and entering the city.

No one is making trouble.

When it was Jiangnan's turn, he took out his embroidered waist badge and leisurely entered the city under the respectful gaze of the guards.

This is one of the privileges of embroidering clothes outside the finger - exempting all city gate taxes outside the capital.

In Silk City, bluestone bricks are paved into broad streets.

Horses and chariots passed by, people rubbing shoulders, and the hustle and bustle of the hawkers on both sides of the street could be heard.

"Ice candied haws~ It's not sweet and it doesn't cost money!"

"Shaobing ~ Shaobing ~ Wujia Shaobing is big and fragrant!"

"Fat cake! The hair cake is soft and not sticky to the teeth, just walk by and take a look!"

There are also more of these, and the Silk City is full of the smell of red dust.

"Master! We want this!"

"Master! We want that!"

"Master! We want it all!"

Along the way, Qingluo stuck her head out, looking left and right, her eyes full of novelty.

Half an hour later, Jiang Nan came to the restaurant with a lot of food.

The lobby is full of friends.

The lean and lean young man with sharp eyes immediately greeted him, "Guest officer, do you want to be a sharpie or stay in a hotel?"

After all, he took the initiative to take the luggage and food in Jiangnan's hands.

"Stay in the hotel, do you still have a room in your restaurant?"

Xiaoer rolled his eyes and said, "Guest officer, there is still one in this shop, but..."

"But it's a bit expensive."

Jiangnan thought for a while, and estimated that most of the restaurants in Xiushui might be in this situation, so he said, "It's okay, I'll order it next."

After the snake demon was killed, Jiangnan became a hero of Xunyang for a while.

The owner of Chunfeng Building not only let Jiangnan stay for free, but also discussed asking an artist to draw a portrait of Jiangnan and hang it in the lobby of Chunfeng Building.

In contrast, he also paid Jiangnan a large sum of money.

So Jiangnan is not so bad nowadays.

"Okay! Please go upstairs!"

Xiao Er was overjoyed, nodded and bowed all the way, and led Jiang Nan upstairs.

That's all, Jiang Nan gave him a little bit of silver, right as a tip.

The latter grinned and became more respectful.

After making a cup of tea, Jiang Nan sat down in the room.

Now it seems that the number of these rivers and lakes in Silk City is outrageous.

However, the sword test only selects at most ten kendo geniuses who can enter the sword mound.

"Qingluo, besides the sword test, is there a way to enter the sword grave?"

He looked at the little tree god who was competing with a bunch of candied haws, and asked.

Qingluo was stunned for a while, sucked her fingers, and said in a soft voice: "As far as we know, Jianzhong is a forbidden place for swords, and outsiders will never be able to enter except for the sword test."

Jiang Nan frowned.

Hard to do.

He knows his own level of kendo.

It can't be said that it is not proficient, it is simply not at all.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, he had never been exposed to kendo.

In this way, the possibility of passing the sword test is very slim.

"You said... Can you make it hard?" Jiang Nan's heart sank, and he wanted to rely on a reckless word to travel the world.

The little tree god was stunned for a long time before he said, "It's not impossible, but if you decide to push through, I think it would be better to go at noon."

Jiangnan Daqi, "Why?"

Qingluo smiled and said, "Because sooner or later you will die!"

Jiang Nan was not angry, he snorted softly, and asked, "What kind of cultivation are the people in this sword house?"

"Hmm... the highest seems to be the second rank, or the first rank?"

Qingluo blinked her eyes: "Master, do you want to force your way?"

"Second grade? But that's it!"

Jiang Nan coughed, and then changed his words: "But Jiang is a reader, so he can't do such a vulgar act by force!"

The little tree god rolled his eyes, ignored him, and concentrated on dealing with the food on the table.

Jiang Nan sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, you still only have to take the sword test?
But I don't know anything about kendo, how should I be selected?

While he was thinking.

The door was opened.

The person who came in was a middle-aged man with some fat. He was white and clean, wearing a festive fur suit, looking kind and shrewd.

It is the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

He first pleaded guilty.

Then with a bit of difficulty: "This guest officer, I am the shopkeeper here. There are some misunderstandings, this room has already been reserved."

The shopkeeper bowed to apologize and asked cautiously, "Of course, we will return you double the rent and arrange another accommodation for you."

Jiang Nan frowned, "The shopkeeper, I have already paid the rent, is there any reason to move out?"

"Guest officer, you don't know something!"

"Let me tell you the truth, this is the room that Mr. Qiu has been using all the time. The little Er who just came here was not clever and gave you this room."

"Now that Mr. Qiu is here, please take pity on me. If Mr. Qiu starts to make trouble, the whole restaurant will suffer..."

The shopkeeper's face was pleading and aggrieved.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Nan couldn't bear it.

With the thought that one more thing is worse than one less thing, he responded.

After all, although he wasn't afraid of that Mr. Qiu, he made a fuss and left.

The one who suffers is the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"Keguan, you are really a Bodhisattva! You are a Bodhisattva!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised him repeatedly.

Judging from his appearance, Young Master Qiu may not be easy to mess with.

After that, the shopkeeper's bow led Jiang Nan out of the door.

When I got downstairs, I saw everyone gathered around.

Jiangnan was curious and pushed aside the crowd.

In the middle of the lobby, a figure with a blue nose and a swollen face was wriggling on the ground, groaning in pain from time to time.

I saw blue and purple patches on his face, and his eyes were high and swollen.

Bleeding from his mouth, he looked extremely painful.

At first glance, isn't it the lean little Er who just led the way to Jiangnan?
Seeing this, the shopkeeper explained on the side, "This is what that young master Qiu did - this young man was negligent, gave you the room, and was beaten so badly by him."

The shopkeeper's face was filled with unbearable expression, and he sighed helplessly: "What a sin!"

"I'll take you away quickly, otherwise, if Young Master Qiu sees you who occupied his room, he will definitely cause trouble again."

After all, he wanted to take Jiangnan away.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Nan has been staring at Xiao Er on the ground.

It took me a long time to lift my eyelids,
"The shopkeeper, Jiang is not going back to this room."

　嘤夘, the contract has been sent, please collect, recommend and invest (ˊˋ)
