Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know that Wang Banxian also said this to me? After I gave him three hundred taels of silver."

Li Qingcheng was stunned, "He took me five hundred taels."

"So, it's fine if you listen to the old charlatan, don't take it seriously!" Xiao Jinyan complained in his heart. This old charlatan cheated every day, why didn't God kill him with a single thunder? Suddenly, he remembered something again and asked, "Is the day of the decisive battle settled?"

Li Qingcheng said: "The ninth day of the ninth month is the Double Ninth Festival."

It was seven days since the Double Ninth Festival. Xiao Jinyan decided to visit Li Qiuyi at the Li family restaurant early tomorrow morning. At this time, he was full of wine and food. He yawned and returned to the woodshed to sleep consciously.

The next morning, before dawn, the little red fish came over and knocked on the door.

Xiao Daxia has been on the road these days, and he is tired and wants to sleep in. He has no chance to sleep. He opened the door and saw Xiao Hongyu holding a basket of small bags, and said with joy, "Brother Xiao, I heard from Qingcao that you are back! When did you come back, why didn't you call me? Yes, I must have slept to death. This is what I bought from the east of the city for an hour, and you can eat while it's hot!"

Qingcao muttered in the distance, "I obviously bought it, okay?"

The little red fish glared at Qingcao. Qingcao was very afraid of her and quickly kept silent.

Xiao Jinyan rubbed his eyes, "If you come over in an hour, I will be grateful."

Xiaohongyu said, "You eat something first, I'll give you a wash of your face."

Xiao Jinyan quickly stopped him, "You come to show your kindness early in the morning and say, what's wrong?"

Little Red Fish said it’s okay, I can’t miss you. By the way, where are the gifts you brought me?

Xiao Jinyan then remembered that before leaving, Xiao Hongyu asked him to go to Yangzhou Su Jinji to buy rouge for her. He was only concerned about running for life in Yangzhou, but he forgot about this. Thinking of this, he spread his hands, "Will it be done next time?"

When Xiao Hongyu heard this, he immediately drooped his face and snatched a bun that Xiao Jinyan was about to stuff into his mouth. He walked and said, "You don't have me in your heart!" He returned to the front hall angrily. Xiao Jinyan drew water from the well and washed his face. When he came to the front hall, he saw meat pies on the table and was about to go. Xiao Hongyu snatched it, "I bought this. I don't have your share!"

Xiao Jinyan thought about why he offended her. Seeing this, Qingcao was about to give him his breakfast, but Xiao Hongyu said angrily, "You want to give him something to eat, I will cut off your relationship with you!" Qingcao was so scared that she said she didn't dare. Li Qingcheng looked gloating in her eyes and sighed, "Woman!"

At this time, I heard a donkey cry outside the door.

Xiao Jinyan heard Mr. Lu’s cry at this time. Before he could go out, he saw Baolu leading Mr. Lu into Xiaoyao Inn and shouted as soon as he entered the room, "Xiao Jinyan, it’s really hard to find here. Fortunately, my donkey recognizes the way, what is the saying? Old donkey knows the way?"

He saw that there was rice on the table and porridge in the bucket, and he was not polite. He went up and swallowed a basket of buns and seven or eight meat pies. He didn't feel full yet. He poured a pot of rice porridge into his stomach and patted his stomach, "You can barely deal with it until noon."

Li Qingcheng said, "Good appetite!"

Baolu scratched his head, "Thank you for the compliment."

Qingcao was shocked by Baolu's appetite and murmured, "If Shopkeeper Fan knew that we were so trashing his food, he would probably be so distressed that he would not be able to sleep."

Baolu said unhappy, "I'm not here empty-handed either. Didn't I even bring a donkey? Hurry up and find a better butcher, so I can still eat donkey meat at noon."

Mr. Lu was so scared that he screamed and hid behind Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Is this your donkey?"

Baolu said yes, from Yangzhou to Suzhou, I found it all the way. This donkey is spiritual and seems to be able to understand what I say.

"Then why do you still want to eat it?"

"I heard from the master that spiritual animals taste a little more fragrant."

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to say, "I'm not sure, this bastard donkey was originally mine."

Baolu looked dissatisfied, "You said it was yours, you call it, see if it agrees?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Silly!"

Baolu raised his head, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "My name is Donkey!"

"No matter who you call me, this donkey is mine. Whoever wants to rob me, I will never finish it with him!"

Xiao Jinyan didn't want to get involved with him on this issue, so he talked about what happened last night.

After a little inquiry, Xiao Jinyan realized that last night, Baolu jumped into Shiquan River under the river of the city, and the group of men in black chased after him. He followed the river to the Suzhou city wall, hit the wall, ran out of the wall, and ran for about ten miles before he left everyone away. At this time, he met Mr. Lu outside the city and grabbed its tail. Mr. Lu resisted for a long time and finally gave up resistance. Early this morning, he brought Mr. Lu to find him.

Li Qingchengqi said: "Last night, Zhao Wuji wanted to kill you, so he must know that you went back to Yixiaotang, why is there no movement now?"

Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "It's not convenient for them to do it in broad daylight, right?" Although he said that, this reason was obviously untenable. With Zhao Wuji's power, he didn't take Suzhou Prefecture seriously at all.

Li Qingcheng asked, "Do you believe it?"

"Maybe it was for Master Jia?"

A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Jinyan's mind. Li Qiuyi and Chu Kuangdao were about to fight to the death. Jia Fuzi appeared and was both a master of the Tianlist. If he helped, it would probably cause variables in this duel. Yesterday, Changqiao assassinated, the Blood Demon Shadow was really going to deal with was actually Jia Fuzi.

Yuwen Tianlu does not allow variables that affect this duel to happen.

As for Zhao Wuji's dealing with Xiao Jinyan, it was just for the sake of Wu Jing to take care of it.

This is a good explanation.

However, all of this was just Xiao Jinyan's guess.

...

Li Family Tavern.

Since the battle between Li Qiuyi and Chu Kuangdao entered the world, the Li family's tavern has never opened. People who come to visit Li Qiuyi every day are blocked by Li Ergou.

"My family sells wine, not Li Qiuyi."

Li Ergou explained to them more than once, but no one would believe it.

Twenty years ago, Li Qiuyi left Yinyang City and rescued Li Ergou from more than a dozen steppe wolves, and brought him with him since then. Li Ergou hit his head while escaping his life and lost his previous memory. Li Qiuyi did not dislike him and brought him by his side. After coming to Suzhou City, he opened a Li family restaurant, renamed Li Yinyang, and was a trunk to sell wine here.

Today, the few people who came to visit Li Qiuyi had long faces, hooked noses, and a little curly hair. They looked a little like Western Chu people.

The Western Chu State was originally a nomadic people. When the founding of the country three hundred years ago, the Emperor Sama family admired the Central Plains culture and led the royal family to fully promote sinicization and changed the country's surname to Chu. However, there were still some nobles in the Western Chu territory who retained their pure nomadic bloodline. They did not intermarry with the Han people, nor looked down on calling people. They were just shocked by the power and status of the Sama family and surrendered to them.

The leader exuded a powerful aura on his body. He was obviously a martial arts practitioner, and his martial arts level was not low. The rest seemed to be his entourage.

"We are here, just want to see Senior Li and ask him a few questions."

Li Ergou was impatient and picked up the wine spoon and wanted to drive them away, "No, get out!"

The man took a step forward and met.

Li Ergou was angry and swung it and beat it.

Hurry!

The spoon hit the head of the person in charge and broke into two pieces.

Seeing this, the subordinate entourage shouted angrily, "What a courage!" He pulled out his waist knife and chopped Li Ergou.

Bang!

The entourage was thrown by the leader of the Chu State for more than three feet away.

The leader of the Chu people pulled out his waist knife with his right hand and raised it to the sky. The other entourages drew their swords and followed suit.

Li Ergou said: "What do you want to do? This is the world of tomorrow. Don't do anything randomly!"

The leader of the Chu people took the knife back and placed it in front of his chest. The rest of the people were like this, and their movements were uniform, as if they had been trained countless times, shouting, "Saha!"

Li Ergou looked shocked and took a few steps back in fear.

The group of Chu people put their swords back on their sheaths and left one after another, leaving Li Ergou in a daze.

When Xiao Jinyan arrived, Li Ergou didn't raise his head, "I've said it many times, you've found the wrong person."

"It's me!" Xiao Jinyan said. "Where is the shopkeeper Li?"

Li Ergou pointed to the backyard, "Since you came last time, this old guy has stopped brewing wine. He holds a broken scabbard every day, and is in a daze at the wellhead in the backyard. I am really afraid that one day he will not be able to think about it and commit suicide by jumping into the well."

Xiao Jinyan came to the backyard.

Li Yinyang, to be precise, should be Li Qiuyi, who was pumping a bucket of water and slowly wiping the brass-forged scabbard. When Xiao Jinyan saw the scabbard last time, it was still rusty, but when he saw him again, it was already glowing red.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What are you doing?"

"Wipe the knife."

"But there is no knife."

"The knife is in my heart."

Xiao Jinyan stopped talking and stood still.

Xiao Jinyan found that the scabbard seemed to be able to breathe, and only Xiao Jinyan's special string force could sense this kind of rhyme.

Li Qiuyi's movements were very slow, as if wiping a fragile jade. Every time he wiped it, an inner breath was poured into the scabbard from Li Qiuyi's body. The red gem at the top of the scabbard became brighter. About half an hour, Li Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief and put the scabbard down.

Li Qiuyi asked: "What are you here to do?"

"Repay the money!"

"Where is the money?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Money is in my heart."

Li Qiuyi didn't say anything again and started wiping it again.

This time, Li Qiuyi wiped it very quickly. Xiao Jinyan sensed that there was a violent power contained in the scabbard. If it was released, it would definitely be earth-shaking. Li Qiuyi said, "I know why you came here. Wang Banxian has found me, and I believe you know my answer."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Aren't you afraid of natural disasters?"

Li Qiuyi said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster. It's a turtle that has been a hundred years, and there will always be a break." He paused and said, "I practiced the sword art and realized the great elephant thirty years ago. Since then, I have not made any further progress. Chu Kuang Dao is a good opponent. If he can kill him or die under his sword, it will always be a pleasant thing."

Xiao Jinyan had already expected the result, but in terms of love, he hoped that Li Qiuyi would win.

"I have fought with Chu Kuangdao."

"Not dead?"

Xiao Jinyan said angrily, "What do you think?"

Li Qiuyi said, "You shouldn't have done that."

"Why?"
