No taboos in the world

Chapter 213: Male and Female Demons, Lord Cao

A ray of rosy clouds disappeared from the corner of the building, and crows were roosting on the pale yellow willow trees.

"All the dishes are served. Please enjoy your meal, sir. Please come and help me if you need anything."

Bai Zhantang’s service attitude was not bad. He smiled at the customer Yue Lingshan, which made Tong Xiangyu’s teeth chatter with satisfaction.

The people from the Huashan Sect occupied four tables. The leader Yue Buqun and his family of three sat at one table, along with a young man who was handsome but looked tired and melancholy.

"Xiao Linzi, I'll serve you some food."

Yue Lingshan spoke, and the young man came back to his senses, and a very forced smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Hong Chen supported his chin and looked at Lin Pingzhi unscrupulously.

Behind the counter, Bai Zhantang looked at the lobby full of guests. After a moment, he asked Tong Xiangyu in a puzzled voice, "Boss, have you noticed something?"

"No!" Tong Xiangyu was calculating without even raising her head.

Bai Zhantang did not notice her abnormality and continued, "There are so many guests coming and going in our Hongchen Inn every day, but have you ever seen anyone look at our boss?"

Hearing this, Tong Xiangyu frowned slightly, temporarily suppressed her dissatisfaction, and looked up.

After a while, she also looked suspicious: "Hearing what you said, it seems that there really is no such thing."

"Really? But the boss sits at that table almost every day. Even though it's in the corner, there's nothing to block him. Besides, I'm not trying to flatter him on purpose. Given the boss's looks and temperament, no one has paid attention to him for a few days. Do you think that's normal?"

"It's abnormal. It's 100 percent abnormal." Lu Xiucai poked his head out.

Tong Xiangyu's eyebrows twitched, "What do you want to say?"

Lao Bai put his arms around Lu Xiucai's neck, moved closer to Tong Xiangyu, and lowered his voice.

"I heard that there are peerless masters in the martial arts world. They have a restrained aura that they never let go of, blending into the world. Their existence seems to be natural as it should be."

Lu Xiucai narrowed his eyes: "You mean, the boss is a peerless master?"

Bai Zhantang nodded solemnly: "There is no other explanation."

Tong Xiangyu said solemnly: "So, the three taels of silver for hiring a constable can be saved."

"Wait a minute, I feel someone looking at me." Bai Zhantang suddenly spoke with a serious look in his eyes, "It's a master, this kind of gaze is like a thorn in the back... I feel a strong yang energy, the thunder of the awakening sting, the sharp sword, what a powerful master..."

Snapped!
Tong Xiangyu slapped him on the shoulder: "The boss is watching you."

Bai Zhantang turned around and saw Hong Chen looking at him with a smile.

Putting aside the gaze of an expert, just facing the superior who paid him a salary, Lao Bai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and he immediately smiled cheerfully.

"Boss, get me a room right away! I can't wait any longer, I need to get things done now!"

At the door, two figures rushed in hurriedly and arrived in front of the counter in a blink of an eye.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a knife, with decent features. He was holding a man in his hand, but his body and face were covered by a large cloak.

Tong Xiangyu was stunned and failed to respond in time.

The man slammed the knife on the counter and shouted, "What the hell are you daydreaming about? Get me a room!"

Tong Xiangyu was so scared that her head shrank and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Bai Zhantang immediately stepped forward and protected her behind him, saying with a smile: "Sir, I'm really sorry, our shop is full today, you..."

"What are you talking about? I don't care. Hurry up and make an empty room for me, or else don't blame me for drawing my sword and seeing blood!"

Bai Zhantang's smile faded and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Just as he was about to speak again, he heard a noise coming from the door again.

"Pervert! Die!"

call out!
Light and shadow broke through the air and the middle-aged man said nothing. He raised his knife and chopped it with his backhand. The stone that was used as a hidden weapon shattered instantly.

Outside the door, two men in night clothes ran in, each holding a sword.

One of them glared at him and said, "You damned flower-stealing thief, you run pretty fast, but now that I've caught up with you, why don't you surrender quickly? Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"

After saying this, the middle-aged man was not angry. Instead, his eyebrows moved and then he twitched his nose quickly.

After a few breaths, a smile suddenly broke out on his face: "Hahahaha, I thought it was some ignorant young men from Jianghu who came from nowhere, but I didn't expect that they were actually two beautiful young ladies! Hehe, I'm so lucky!"

Hearing this, the Night Walker duo widened their eyes in shock, and then one of them said, "Nonsense! We are a pair of heroes who rob the rich and help the poor, and we do justice!"

Tong Xiangyu suddenly hugged Bai Zhantang's arm: "Old Bai, this is terrible, they are the male and female evil spirits!"

"Hehe, I also like the idea of ​​a man dressing up as a woman." The middle-aged man laughed obscenely, "Wait until I cut your clothes into pieces and expose your small breasts, and then we'll see how you can still pretend to be a man!"

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of the male and female evil spirits with a ghostly figure.

The two looked at the face that suddenly approached. The female evil spirit screamed in fear, while the male evil spirit gritted his teeth and attacked with his sword.

However, her swordsmanship was so poor that the middle-aged man knocked her sword out of her hand with a light knock, and then slashed from bottom to top with a knife, but it only damaged her clothes but not her.

Guo Furong, dressed as a woman, was about to be exposed in public.

The middle-aged man suddenly stopped motionless.

Guo Furong looked at the tip of the knife that was right above her chest, and felt a chill rushing into her lower abdomen. She suddenly screamed, turned around and threw herself into the arms of the female evil spirit, the maid Xiaoqing, too embarrassed to look up to see anyone.

around.

Yue Buqun has stood up and unsheathed his sword.

Bai Zhantang had already approached, with both hands pointing swords.

But the embarrassing thing is that the middle-aged man with the knife seemed to be oblivious to all the movements around him and still maintained the same action.

Others didn't understand what was going on, but Yue Buqun and Bai Zhantang, who had a high level of cultivation, had serious looks in their eyes and stopped in their tracks.

For a moment, the inn fell into an eerie silence.

"Come and sit."

Suddenly a soft call attracted everyone's attention.

But it was Hong Chen who spoke to the person hiding under the cloak.

The moment they saw Hong Chen, all the guests were surprised: When did he sit there?

Yue Buqun gripped the hilt of his sword even tighter, his pupils shrinking sharply.

The body under the cloak trembled slightly, and the wide brim of the hat slowly rose, revealing a pair of crystal-like eyes.

Innocent and without a trace of dust.

Pure and flawless, without any trace of color.

Although Hong Chen knew who she was and what her features were, he had not expected that her eyes would be so pure and natural that one could not help but be shocked at the sight of them.

A hint of timidity flashed across his eyes, which made people feel pity for him.

No wonder Tian Boguang captured her but did not hurt her.

"Come on." Hong Chen spoke again, as calm as a lake without ripples, and as gentle as a Zen temple in an ancient temple deep in the forest.

Suddenly, the timidity in those clear eyes disappeared, and instead, a friendly atmosphere slowly spread.

She walked slowly to the table where Hong Chen was, and looked at him curiously. Hong Chen took a cup and poured a cup of hot tea.

"I'm the boss here, and I've read a lot of Buddhist scriptures."

There was some surprise in her eyes.

Hong Chen: "Don't believe it? You can ask me."

The thirty years he spent in Shaolin were not in vain.

She waved her hand quickly and sat down slowly.

A pair of hands as delicate as white jade popped out from under the gray cloak. After picking up the teacup, the face hidden under the cloak was revealed.

She is beautiful and charming, just like a pearl or jade, pure and flawless.

Unfortunately, the only person who could see her face at this time was Hong Chen, who was facing her sideways.

"Thank you, I... my name is Yilin." The tender voice was very soft, like the first cry of a young bird.

"Hong Chen."

After exchanging names, Hong Chen turned around.

"Manager Tong, take those two heroes down to rest."

Tong Xiangyu stepped forward and took Guo Furong and Xiaoqing to the backyard.

"Old White, send him to the authorities."

Bai Zhantang came back to his senses, responded, and went forward to carry Tian Boguang and went out. After running half a street, the ticking sound became more and more urgent. Old Bai paused, and saw that the person on his shoulder was bleeding from all seven orifices. He was so scared that he almost threw the person out.

I grabbed his wrist and found there was no pulse.

Bai Zhantang breathed a sigh of relief: The boss is indeed a martial arts master!
In the inn, Li Dazui skillfully brought various vegetarian dishes.

Yi Lin was quite shy at first, but after taking a few bites, her hunger for a long time made her speed up unconsciously.

Yue Buqun had already sat back down, but like the other guests, he kept glancing towards the corners.

He and Ning Zhongze, two old hands, had a look of vigilance and caution in their eyes. Yue Lingshan seemed very curious about Hong Chen's face. As for Lin Pingzhi, his eyes were full of confusion and confusion.

half an hour.

The Huashan Sect paid the bill and left.

Before leaving, Lin Pingzhi looked at Hong Chen again and again, but in the end he did not speak, just sighed softly.

Yi Lin looked at the cleared plates on the table and was too embarrassed to look up from her cup of tea.

Seeing the Huashan Sect leaving, she seemed to be tempted, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Turning her head, her eyes slightly reddened, she said pitifully and cutely: "Master Hong, I don't have any money now... Can you help me write a letter to my master?"

Hong Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you write the letter later, why don't you go and have a rest first?"

"Thank you, thank you sir! When my master comes, she will give you the money."

"Okay, then I'll wait to get paid."

Yi Lin let out a long sigh, and a smile finally appeared on her face. She was as beautiful as a snow lotus that was not tainted by the mundane world.

Hong Chen looked at Shopkeeper Tong and saw that she looked troubled. He thought for a moment and said, "The house in the back is more than half finished. The rooms in the main courtyard are ready for living. Take Yilin there and buy some mattresses and daily necessities. We'll need them in the future anyway."

Tong Xiangyu relaxed and asked, "Those two just now..."

"bring it here."

"okay."

Yi Lin stood up, walked two steps behind Tong Xiangyu, and suddenly turned back.

Hong Chen saw the worry in her eyes and smiled: "They are all very good. If you are happy, I think you will have more friends."

Hearing his voice, Yilin felt relieved.

Tong Xiangyu also gently held her hand: "Poor child, don't be afraid, come with your sister, we have a little girl here, if you are afraid, I will let her accompany you tonight."

After the two left, the inn became quiet again.

Lu Xiucai came to Hong Chen's side, his eyes worried: "Boss, do you think what happened just now will happen again?"

"meeting."

"Well, then we..."

"Not afraid."

"But just in case..."

"Nothing unexpected."

"That……"

"Shut up."

"okay."

Outside the door, there were frequent footsteps.

Lu Xiucai instinctively retreated behind Hong Chen.

Hong Chen rolled his eyes at him and he immediately stepped forward.

"Okay, you are powerless, just do what you need to do."

As he spoke, the person outside the door appeared.

He wore a pointed hat, a black robe embroidered with dark red cloud patterns, a jade belt around his waist, and a long sword, looking very imposing.

However, he just glanced around the inn, then stepped back, turned sideways, and bent down to lead.

"Master, please!"

Soon, a person who was dressed more elegantly and had more gorgeous patterns on his clothes appeared.

There is a head full of white hair, but few wrinkles on his face, and his mouth seems to always have a faint smile.

Hong Chen took a look and couldn't help but smile.

Isn't this the most practical man in the Ming Dynasty, the most polite East Factory Supervisor Cao Zhengchun, the eunuch Cao?
