Chapter 21

"My little girl thanked Miss Mu San for saving her life."

"The grace of saving life?" Mu Qingyao chewed on these words playfully. She couldn't remember who she had saved?Could it be, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, it couldn't be the person thrown out by that inn, she thought it belonged to a man, but she didn't expect it to be a woman, which was a bit surprising.

"It's a little effort, why be polite."

Mu Qingyao had finished her breakfast, Mei Xin stepped forward and handed over the scarf respectfully, and waited for the lady, while Lu'er and Xiao Lian cleared up the things on the table, and the flower hall fell silent.

The woman standing next to Mu Qingyao heard what Mu Qingyao said, her eyes flashed with hope, and she knelt down on the ground abruptly: "My little girl has something to ask!"

Mu Qingyao sat motionless on the upper seat, Mei Xin raised her eyebrows in surprise, poured a cup of tea for the lady, and stood quietly waiting.

"tell me the story."

Qingyao's voice is clear and soft, without any emotion, she looks at the kneeling woman lightly, is this woman a bit too much, she saved her once is an exception, it is absolutely impossible to do it a second time hands unless?His eyes narrowed sharply, and he looked at the slender woman seriously, with thin eyebrows, big eyes, a sallow complexion, and a thin body, which may be caused by malnutrition.

"I beg Miss San to save my father's life."

The kneeling woman kowtowed abruptly, as if she was beating a drum, making a thumping sound, Mei Xin frowned slightly, her heart ached, this girl's head was made of stones, and she kowtowed so vigorously, If there is a real difficulty, the young lady will definitely not stand idly by. Although she is indifferent, she has a kind heart, otherwise she would not be able to save her that day.

"Okay, let's talk about the situation."

Mu Qingyao uttered a voice to stop her, the girl finally stopped moving, raised her face, her forehead was overflowing with traces of blood, like a dab of demon red, dyed between her eyebrows and eyes, the only trace of arrogance disappeared, only endless Feeling sad and wronged.

"Our family used to run an escort agency, and the business has always been good. Once, my father picked up a escort, and the amount was relatively large. If it goes well, our escort agency will be upgraded to a higher level. Dad is very happy. Who knows that the escort will go through the peak. At Mangshan, I was robbed by a group of bandits, and the bodyguard bureau was completely ruined. At that time, my mother had just given birth to a younger sister, and she was not in good health. She was kicked out of the house again, and she was hit hard. He died soon, my mother died, my father blamed himself very much, but my siblings were still young, and they insisted on taking care of everyone. After a few years of procrastination, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, and I couldn't afford to get sick, but our family had nothing. gone."

The little girl said tears overflowed from her eyes, but stubbornly held back, not letting it flow out...

Mu Qingyao's pupils darkened, she didn't expect this girl to be so difficult, but since she has martial arts all over, why didn't she go to rob, most people would do this when they are in a hurry, but she can keep herself clean.

"I see that you have martial arts, why don't you find a way by yourself? I think it's easier, why ask for help."

"Me?" The little girl paused, a stern look flashed in her pupils, but it was only for a moment, and soon she turned into Qingling, and said calmly: "Daddy asked us sisters and brothers to make a heavy oath, No one is allowed to do anything out of line, if he finds out, he will jump into Liujiang."

After hearing this, Qing Yao admired the person she had never met before. He was a man, but she never did boring things. She raised her eyes to the girl who was still kneeling below: "What's your name?"

"Zhao Xiaodai."

Xiao Dai said in a deep voice, although she was poor, she didn't have the slightest inferiority complex, even begging for help, she was calm, she straightened her waist and knelt in disobedience, Mu Qingyao looked at her, but she was moved. Soon to enter the palace, Zhao Xiaodai is a talent, she can't live without her own people, although Mei Xin and Lu'er are loyal, they are still inferior compared to Zhao Xiaodai, they don't even have the ability to protect themselves, But Zhao Xiaodai has martial arts, and the most important thing is her spirit of repaying what is radiated from her bones...

"Xiaodai, I won't help others casually. The last time was an accident. If you want me to help you this time, you can only rely on yourself."

"On my own?" Zhao Xiaodai's eyes darkened when she heard Mu Qingyao's refusal. If Miss Mu San didn't help her, what else could she do?You can't sell yourself to a brothel, and you can't sell it for a good price based on her appearance.

Mei Xin at the side heard the young lady say that she would not help Xiao Dai, her face flickered, and she couldn't bear to call out: "Miss?"

Mu Qingyao raised a hand to stop Mei Xin's words, her face turned cold, Mei Xin didn't dare to say anything more, she just looked at Zhao Xiaodai sympathetically.

"Well, I offer you a way, you can sell yourself to me, but only if you beat me, if you can beat me, I will keep you, you can offer a price, but from then on you will not Your surname is Zhao, you are only mine, if I let you live, you will live, if I let you die, you will die..."

Mu Qingyao's eyes were cold, her tone was clear and stern, absolutely no one would doubt what she meant, Mei Xin trembled slightly, and turned to look at Zhao Xiaodai, wondering what choice she would make?

Although the conditions are very harsh, for Zhao Xiaodai, it is no less than a big blessing. She originally planned to be a cow or a horse to repay Miss Mu San, so what difference does it make if she sells herself to her now? For a price, she must be able to settle down her father and younger siblings well, so sacrificed one of her, in exchange for the happiness of the whole family, she dreamed of being able to exchange for a comfortable life for her family.

"Okay, I'll sell."

Zhao Xiaodai responded with a clear voice, her gaze directly met Mu Qingyao's pupils, after learning martial arts for 19 years, she finally had a place to use her skills, she was very happy, completely swept away the previous despair and disillusionment, as if a Like a glimmer of light, she must firmly seize this opportunity.

"Then let me see how much you're worth?"

As soon as Mu Qingyao's voice sounded, the people had already sped away. Xiaodai was not to be outdone. In just a moment, she had seen that Miss Mu San's martial arts foundation was not weak, so she wanted to use all her strength to defeat Miss Mu San , so that she can buy her.

Two figures broke out of the house and really ran to the courtyard outside the house.

Mei Xin was startled, and hurriedly chased her out, ran into two girls, Lu'er and Xiao Lian, in front of the door, and asked in panic, "Sister Mei Xin, what happened? Why did Miss fight with that girl?"

"It's okay, Miss is competing with her, let's go over and have a look."

There is an open space behind the Qingyuan, with green grass, clusters of flowers, green bamboo dotted in the corner, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers is tangy, at this moment in that piece of green world, one red and one yellow figure are entwining each other. When they come together, Huang Ling dances, shining with light and shadow, like two slender butterflies dancing, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Mei Xin and Lu'er didn't understand martial arts, they only saw two shadows wrestling together, they couldn't tell who was winning and who lost, they only knew that the one in yellow was Miss, the one in red was Xiao Dai, and Miss used long Ling, and what Xiao Dai held was a soft sword. The soft sword became soft like a belt. When Ling Han trembled straight, the silver light flew by and turned into a sharp long sword, pulling out countless flowers. The sword flower stabs at Miss's body, the sword is fast, the person is faster, the blow misses, she turns around and floats away, her posture is graceful and light, just like a wicker without branches, swaying freely in the wind, soft and boneless...

The three little girls were stunned, and they didn't dare to vent their anger, for fear of shocking the young lady and distracting her, but the young lady's long Lingling suddenly turned into fragments all over the sky, falling down one after another in the breeze, like a sky full of flowers Like rain, falling in the air...

The two slowly fell from mid-air, Mu Qingyao smiled and said slowly, "That's right, let's make a price."

As soon as her voice fell, Xiao Dai shook her hand, and the soft sword turned into a belt and was tied around her waist. She looked straight into Mu Qingyao's eyes, and it was obvious that she was serious. .”

"Ah," Lu'er and Xiaolian cried out, what did she say?To ask for 2000 taels, who is this woman, is that too much?

But Mu Qingyao was not annoyed, her sharp black eyes jumped over the flames, and she stretched out her hand: "Okay, the deal is done."

Xiao Dai didn't expect Miss Mu San to really agree, her heart was suffocated, the boulder that had been suppressed for a long time was moved away, she was very happy to stick to it until today, and met someone who sold herself, and this did not go against everyone's wishes .

"Miss?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mu Qingyao raised her hand to stop her: "Not yet, take me to see your father, and come to pick up the money tomorrow, at least you have to give him a convincing reason, don't you?"

"Thank you ma'am."

Xiao Dai looked at Mu Qingyao gratefully, yes, if Dad knew about these things, he would be at ease, but if she didn't have a reasonable explanation, Dad would definitely not be at ease.

"Go to your house."

"Okay," Xiao Dai nodded, Mu Qingyao looked back at Mei Xin's three girls, raised her eyebrows coldly and said, "Lu'er, I want to go out and let them prepare the carriage."

"Yes, miss," Lu'er didn't dare to say anything more, and trotted forward. Now she knows what the lady meant by 2000 taels. It turned out that this woman came to the lady to sell herself, but How did you sell it for so much money? 2000 taels of silver?It's really a lion's mouth. It's usually not more than five taels of silver to buy a girl in this house, but this woman actually asked for 2000 taels. It's really amazing, but she dare not say anything?It's just that the miss has forgotten that the Mu family can't afford so much money, they can only spend 500 taels at a time, and then they are not allowed to pay the money in the account room for half a year.

Mu Qingyao's heart was rarely happy. She had tried Xiaodai's martial arts just now, and she was really good at it. She might not be the top-notch master in the world, but she could definitely protect her. Ordinary people could still deal with it. With her by her side , it is safer for her to enter the palace.
