Jiaohua

Chapter 1055
At noon the next day, Xia Zhaoyi and his party arrived at Nanxi Post on the Nanling of Quyang Mountain.

There are no guests in the Lanxiang Inn, and Shen Lie and the others are still in the future.

Xia Zhaoyi asked Su Yumei and Zhan Ning to rest first, and she took Xiao Dapang for a walk around.

After reading the notices on several big bulletin boards one by one, and listening to the small talk in a teahouse, Xia Zhaoyi was finally attracted by the sound of bamboo boards.

The one holding the bamboo board was a young girl in her twenties, with ragged clothes and worn-out shoes.

Beside him, a rickety old man in his 40s was holding a Yueqin with a short neck, singing harmoniously from time to time.

The girl rapped and sang while beating bamboo boards. It wasn't the weather-beaten hatred and bitterness. The cheerful lyrics were praising the joy in March, climbing the mountain and returning to the water, and the spring breeze moving the willows.

When the song is over, others applaud, but few people give a reward.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled slightly, patted Xiao Dapang's head, turned and left.

"Miss Ali, don't you plan to offer some rewards?" A deep male voice said suddenly.

Xia Zhaoyi paused, then turned his eyes to look.

Nie Huimo copied his hands, dressed in a navy blue satin gown, with a sword hanging from his waist, and a tall and straight figure. When he spoke, he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, revealing a hint of teasing.

"Why are you here?" Xia Zhaoyi blurted out.

"Why are you here?" Nie Huimo asked back, his eyes fell on the little fat dog in the girl's arms.

Xiao Dapang stared at him vigilantly, his eyes were fierce and milky.

"You dog is so ugly." Nie Huimo said.

Xia Zhaoyi said coldly: "It didn't eat your food and grew up, so it's not your turn to point fingers."

"Where can I get it?"

"What's the matter with you."

As Xia Zhaoyi said, he lifted his foot and prepared to leave.

But Nie Huimo's four subordinates surrounded her and blocked her way.

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled softly, and while stroking the little fat dog, said in a low voice: "It is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. A smart person like General Nie should not let his subordinates do what he wants." It’s something out of control.”

"Haha!" Nie Huimo laughed, looking sideways at the girl's delicate and beautiful side face.

"If someone else said this, they would be overconfident, and only Miss Ali has such courage."

"Good dogs don't get in the way," Xia Zhaoyi said.

Little Big Fatty let out a "Wow".

"Ah," Xia Zhaoyi whispered, stroking Xiao Dapang's head, "They really don't deserve to be dogs, it's my mistake."

Even though he was being scolded, Nie Huimo's smile became brighter: "Miss Ali is still so eloquent."

"Just talking about it," Xia Zhaoyi turned to look at him, and said with a smile, "but when I show my teeth and claws, it will be too late for General Nie to regret it."

"You and I have to have such a strong hostility?" Nie Huimo raised his eyebrows.

"You and I don't have to be calm."

"Why?"

"Heh." Xia Zhaoyi sneered and looked away.

At this time, Zhan Ning, who ran out to look for Xia Zhaoyi, saw her from a distance and shouted, "Second Miss!"

Nie Huimo followed the prestige with feeling, and said, "Your men?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled brightly and sweetly at him: "It's none of your business."

After finishing speaking, she lifted her foot and continued to walk forward.

Nie Huimo's subordinates stretched out their hands to stop her, she was even faster, grabbing the opponent's wrist and twisting it, relying only on the strength of one hand, she skillfully removed the opponent's arm.

The hand held the dislocated arm and exhaled in pain, but she left without looking back.

Zhan Ning didn't pay attention to Xia Zhaoyi's situation just now, but now that he saw this, he frowned and ran quickly: "Second Miss!"

While speaking, he looked at Nie Huimo and was stunned: "It's him!"

At that time, it was Zhan Ning who followed Xia Zhaoyi to Zushuihe, and was invited by Mr. Xin Shun to go upstairs, and he and Nie Huimo had a "fate".

"Second Miss, did he attack you?" Zhan Ning immediately raised his guard.

"He doesn't dare," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Don't worry about him, what are you looking for from me?"

"Oh," Zhan Ning nodded, and then solemnly said, "I almost forgot the business, Mr. Shen is here."

"Okay." Xia Zhaoyi said, raising his foot to leave.

"But General Xia Xingming wants to fight him! He insisted on trying his skills and dragged him into the backyard!"

"..." Xia Zhaoyi didn't speak any more, and walked quickly to the inn.

The backyard of the Lanxiang Inn is connected to the foot of the hills, with lush flowers and trees, and there is a huge open space among the several couplet houses.

Xia Zhaoyi walked through the courtyard and walked along the verandah, seeing people inside and out.

The first ones to see Xia Zhaoyi coming were Ye Zheng and Dai Yu who were anxious outside the crowd.

Before that, Dai Yu had been declining for Shen Lie, but he couldn't hold back Xia Xingming, who was eager to try.

Shen Lie didn't say anything.

Dai Yu didn't know what his young master planned, but in Dai Yu's view, this so-called competition was not a competition, and it was not a competition.

If you compare, you won't win, and you won't lose.

As soon as Dai Yu saw the girl's hibiscus-patterned moon-white dress, Dai Yu immediately cheered and said loudly, "Miss Ali!"

As he yelled, everyone turned their heads.

Little Fatty "Aww", jumped out of Xia Zhaoyi's arms, and ran towards Zhili who was sitting in the crowd.

Not long after wagging his tail beside Zhili, he happily ran towards Shen Lie, circled around Shen Lie, and tried to stand up.

Shen Lie couldn't live up to this enthusiasm, so he had to bend down and pat its head.

Xiao Dapang sniffed at Shen Lie's sleeves and palms, obsessed with his fragrance.

"Second Miss, you're back," Xia Xingming said happily, "I'm going to make gestures with Shen Shaoxia!"

"Ali." Shen Lie stood up and looked at Xia Zhaoyi, smiling gently.

Xia Zhaoyi looked into his dark and bright eyes, and slowly smiled.

For the convenience of traveling, Shen Lie wore a black brocade dress with sleeves and waist, slim and elegant, tall and imposing.

Xia Zhaoyi suddenly realized that she was used to his smile before, but now it is difficult to bear the peace from his curved lips.

In fact, I have always known the temperament of Shen Lie. When he is not smiling, he is like a snowy plum in the cold sky.

But he never knew that his smile was so bright and serene, like the most beautiful spring scenery in March and April in the world, with the wind leaning against the shallow almonds on the bank, the river flowing through the stone bridge, and the stones in the stream were jade-like and clear.

At this time, a flying bird skimmed the branches, and then went to a distant place, submerged in the clouds in the river and sky.

Xia Zhaoyi closed his eyes and looked back at Xia Xingming: "Uncle Xia, if you want to show off your skills, you shouldn't look for Shen Lie."

"Why?" Xia Xingming was puzzled.

"You are not from the rivers and lakes. If you lead troops to fight and march for too long, you have long ago practiced your skills and developed the ability to make quick decisions. Unless you have agreed in advance to make moves at will, but if you both violate your physical habits and deliberately give in to each other, this is a gesture. What else do you mean?"

"This……"

"Second Miss," Xia Zhi asked curiously, "Then according to what you said, those of us who go to the battlefield are not suitable to find someone to compete with."
