Chapter 27 Border City

After walking into the store involuntarily, Xiao Yu remembered that he didn't have much money at all.

There is never a shortage of people in the world who judge people by their appearance. As soon as Xiao Yu walked into the store, the shopkeeper and the two clerks frowned. When they saw the hesitation on Xiao Yu's face, there was obviously a mocking expression on their faces.

Xiao Yu is clever. How can she look down on the shopkeeper and the two men's contempt?

"Dogs look down on people!"

With a secret sneer, Xiao Yu was ready to turn around and leave.

Xiao Yugang turned around and a young man in purple came in.

"This man is very similar to the young man named Zichuan just now. He should be the brother named Zichuan! What is he doing here? Are you looking for me for trouble?"

Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Yu walked towards the door with the same face.

Xiao Yugang took two steps forward, and the young man in purple smiled and bowed to Xiao Yu.

"Zhong Zishan has seen Liu Shaoxia!"

"Master Zhong is so polite!"

Xiao Yu paused and returned a salute.

After Zhong Zishan nodded to Xiao Yu with a smile, he turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, wrap up that green dress."

The shopkeeper showed enough contempt for Xiao Yu, a man in a thick cloth shirt, but humble enough for Zhong Zishan.

"Master Zhong, wait a minute!"

When the shopkeeper bowed to Zhong Zishan, he deliberately took two steps to the right, as if he didn't want Xiao Yu to take advantage of Xiao Yu, a poor man, when he saluted Zhong Zishan.

After bowing to Zhong Zishan, the shopkeeper walked to the green dress and carefully took off the green dress.

Xiao Yu turned around and looked at the shopkeeper who was picking up the clothes, frowned gently, and was ready to leave the store.

With Xiao Yu's ability, it is not difficult for him to find a strange gift for Liu Hanyan.

However, after all, this green suit was the first thing Xiao Yu wanted to buy for Liu Hanyan. He still felt a little disappointing when he couldn't get it.

Xiao Yugang took a step forward, and the voice of Zhong Zishan came to his ear.

"Liu Shaoxia, please wait a moment."

Looking at Zhong Zishan with a gentle smile, Xiao Yu's heart moved slightly and nodded and stopped.

"Maybe he didn't come to trouble me!"

As Xiao Yu guessed, as soon as Zhong Zishan took the wooden box with the green clothes from the shopkeeper's hand, he handed it to Xiao Yu.

"Liu Shaoxia, I apologized to you for my younger brother!"

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment and took the wooden box.

"You didn't offend me. How can you apologize? Liu took this dress, and Liu will give Master Zhong something that is no less valuable than this dress as a thank-you gift.

Xiao Yu had a very bad impression of the girl in red named Fang Jingning, but her impression of the young man in purple named Zhong Zichuan was not bad.

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Zhong Zishan smiled and said, "If Liu Shaoxia really wants to return the gift, I will take it cheeklessly. However, I have something to do now. I don't know if Liu Shaoxia can send things to my residence at the beginning of You."

Of course, Xiao Yu could understand the meaning of Zhong Zishan's invitation. She pondered for a moment and nodded gently.

"At the beginning of Xiayou, I was waiting for Liu Shaoxia in the bamboo garden in the south of the city!"

He arched his hand to Xiao Yu with a smile, and Zhong Zishan turned around and left.

Xiao Yu looked at the fading back of Zhong Zishan for a while, then turned around and sneered at the embarrassing store showcase, and left the store and walked towards the return inn.

Just now, the conflict between Xiao Yu and Fang Jingning and others did not spread to the clothing store, but it spread to the return inn. As soon as Xiao Yu entered the inn, she felt something strange from the eyes of the inn clerk and several guests in the lobby.

Irring the strange eyes of those people, Xiao Yu went straight back to the guest room.

After returning to the guest room, Xiao Yu first opened the wooden box, looked at the green clothes inside, then closed the wooden box and put it into the Xumi pearl.

After staying in the inn for three quarters, Xiao Yu left the inn with a package and walked towards the south of the city.

Xiao Yu walked not fast, and the return inn was not close to the bamboo garden. When he came to the bamboo garden, it happened to be the first moment.

When she saw the gate of the bamboo garden, Xiao Yu also saw Zhong Zishan waiting at the gate of the bamboo garden.

As soon as he saw Xiao Yu, Zhong Zishan left the door and took two steps in the direction of Xiao Yu.

"Liu Shaoxia is really trustworthy!"

"Master Lao Zhong has been waiting for a long time!"

As a joke, Xiao Yu and Zhong Zishan came together.

He glanced at the package on Xiao Yu's hand, and Zhong Zishan gave Xiao Yu to the bamboo garden.

The bamboo garden is called the bamboo garden, in which there are many bamboos that are rarely seen in the northwest.

The bamboo garden covers a lot, but there are not many buildings inside. Between the bamboo gardens, Xiao Yu only saw a few small courtyards and attices.

Zhong Zishan took Xiao Yu through several small bamboo forests and stopped in front of a small attic.

As soon as the two walked to the attic, the door of the attic was opened from the inside.

After the door was opened, a woman in blue came out.

The woman in blue is beautiful. From her petite figure, she seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old, but from her face, she is in her early twenties.

After taking a look at Xiao Yu's body, the woman in blue smiled at Zhong Zishan and whispered, "My husband, the wine and vegetables are ready."

Generally speaking, the wife calls her husband her husband, and the concubine calls her husband the master. Since this woman in blue calls Zhong Zishan her husband, even if she is not Zhong Zishan's wife, she should at least be Zhong Zishan's favorite concubine.

Zhong Zishan let the woman he valued prepare wine and vegetables for him and Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu could naturally feel the meaning of friendship.

"Liu Shaoxia, please inside!"

"Master Zhong, please!"

After a few polite words, the two walked into the attic together.

As soon as he sat down at the table, Zhong Zishan began to greet Xiao Yu to drink.

After eating and drinking enough, Zhong Zishan mentioned the incident that happened on the street at the beginning of the time.

This time, Zhong Zishan did not say anything to apologize, but talked about Fang Jingning's background.

In this city, there is a general and two deputy generals. The main general is Zhong Li, the father of Zhong Zishan, and the two deputy generals are called Ding Guan and Fang Sizhong respectively.

Fang Sizhong is Fang Jingning's father.

Sixteen years ago, when Fang Jingning's mother was pregnant with Fang Jingning, Fang Sizhong was trapped in a valley more than 70 miles away from the border city by Shu and tribal cavalry.

At that time, Ding Guan was seriously injured. Zhong Li, who knew that the other party was playing tricks to leave the mountain, could not leave the border city, so the task of saving Fang Sizhong fell on Fang Jingning's mother.

Although Fang Jingning's mother was a female descendant, she did not give in. She rescued Fang Sizhong with only 200 dead men.

Although Fang Sizhong was rescued, Fang Jingning's mother was seriously injured. Not long after giving birth to Jingning, she returned to hell because she consumed too much essence.

With a sense of guilt, whether it is Fang Sizhong, Zhong Li or Ding Guan, they are very fond of each other.

With the favor of Zhong Li, Ding Guan and Fang Sizhong, Fang Jingning naturally developed an arrogant personality.

In the border city, the people of the border city feel the protection of Zhong Li and others, and the arrogance of the other party is also very tolerant.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu frowned and interrupted, "Liu also admired Mrs. Fang very much, but what Miss Fang did was really annoying. Liu can be sure that it is not one or two people who are not upset with Miss Fang in the border city.

Zhong Zishan smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Shaoxia is right. Although the people in the border city are very tolerant of Jingning, there are indeed many people who have opinions about her. When I say this to Liu Shaoxia, I don't want Liu Shaoxia to change his impression of Jingning. I just want Liu Shaoxia not to care so much about her for the sake of the late Mrs. Fang.

Xiao Yu picked up the glass and took a sip. She replied with a faint smile, "Master Zhong, don't worry, although Liu is not a gentleman, he will not trouble Miss Fang because of that."

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Yu refused Zhong Zishan's retention and left the bamboo garden.

Xiao Yu was sent to the gate of the bamboo garden, and Zhong Zishan returned to the attic.

Entering the attic, Zhong Zishan saw the package Xiao Yu picked up when he came on the table.

"What will he return?"

With a curiosity, Zhong Zishan opened the package on the table.

As soon as the package was opened, Zhong Zishan's face changed.

Zhong Zishan had never seen Sha Jiao, but when he saw the skin in the package, he knew that it was a dragon skin.

"If he can use a dragon skin as a thank-you gift, he should have no malice towards the border city."

Although this dragon skin is not as tough as the legendary dragon skin, the inner armor made of it is enough to save lives in many cases.

Xiao Yu was able to give "Flame Secret" to Yunhu City at the beginning, and now she will naturally not be stingy with a piece of sand skin that he almost forgot to take away.

After leaving the bamboo garden, Xiao Yu did not return to the inn and went straight to the north gate of the border city.

With Xiao Yu's shrewd, he can deduce a lot of things from Zhong Zishan's words.

Since Fang Jingning is an arrogant person, she will definitely find a way to avenge Xiao Yu.

Of course, Xiao Yu would not be afraid of the revenge of an arrogant lady, but he didn't want to have a deep conflict with Fang Sizhong, so he chose to leave the border city.

In many cases, concessions are actually a kind of generous.

However, in the eyes of most people, giving out is a sign of cowardice and fear. Therefore, there are few people who really do not need to give in but choose to give in.

Xiao Yu walked very fast, but in just a quarter of an hour, he came to the gate of the North Gate.

Looking at the place he had just arrived yesterday, Xiao Yu sighed softly.

"If I had known that I would encounter such a thing in the border city, I would have found a place to rest in Helan Mountain."

Xiao Yu stood in front of the gate tower for a while, and a handsome middle-aged general appeared on the gate tower.

"Is Liu Shaoxia going out of the city?"

"This handsome middle-aged general should be Ding Guan!"

While thinking about it, Xiao Yu nodded gently.

Seeing Xiao Yu nodding, the handsome middle-aged general waved his hand and motioned the soldiers who were facing Xiao Yu with bows and arrows to put down their bows and arrows.

After the soldiers put down their bows and arrows, Xiao Yu arched her hand at the gate tower, stepped to the right side of the gate, used her skills to jump up the wall, and then moved and jumped directly from the wall.

After landing, Xiao Yu turned around and looked at the two big words on the gate, and then used her body to run towards the boundless sand sea.
