Chapter 0069 Nanjiang Town

Seeing that Yu Qiluo insisted on giving the sword, Zhou Shaobai had to take it.

He bowed and said, "Since Miss Jade is willing to give up love, I can't bear it."

Then, Zhou Shaobai hung the short sword around his waist, Yu Qiluo nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly said, "Actually, this Ningfrost Blade is not a short sword, but a broken sword."

This surprised Zhou Shaobai: "There is such a thing?"

"Yes, I heard from my father that the Ningshuang Blade was originally a long sword, called the Ningshuang Sword. Many years ago, the Ningshuang Sword broke into two pieces in a war, and the whereabouts of the previous part were unknown since then. My father said that the Ningshuang Sword is an extraordinary divine sword, but after it was broken, the divine power disappeared, and the first half was gone since then. He has been obsessed with it for many years, wanting to retrieve the first half and ask the sword-casting master to recast the Ningshuang Sword. Unfortunately, after so many years of searching, there has never been any clues about the previous part."

"I didn't expect that Ningshuang Blade would have such a story." Zhou Shaobai thought to himself that the world is so vast that trying to find a needle in a haystack.

He bowed to Yu Qiluo: "Thank you, Miss Yu, for giving the sword, I'm going to say goodbye."

But Yu Qiluo immediately said, "Where are you going? I'll go with you."

Zhou Shaobai was stunned: "What did you say? You want to go with me?"

Yu Qiluo nodded: "Yes, take me with you."

"Miss Yu, don't joke. I'm in a hurry, let's go." After Zhou Shaobai said that, he turned around and walked out. He stopped after walking for a few steps. When he looked back, he saw Yu Qiluo following him closely.

Zhou Shaobai said helplessly: "Miss Yu, I really have something important to do. I don't have time to play with you. The mountains and rivers are vast. We will have a date in the future. When we meet in the world in the future, we will be happy again. I will really say goodbye."

After saying that, he was secretly lucky, and his feet quickly got up and threw Yu Qiluo behind him.

Yu Qiluo's feet were not straight and could not keep up with him. She jumped up in anger and scolded: "Why are you running? I don't have anything to say!"

However, Zhou Shaobai refused to stay any longer and ran to the gate. He saw a groom holding his horse in circles in the yard to digest food. He was overjoyed and went forward to get his horse back, then led out of the gate.

Along the way he came, Zhou Shaobai quickly came to the city gate.

He looked up at the city tower and thought to himself: But he didn't know how injured Captain Ma was.

Just as he was thinking about something, someone suddenly said, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Zhou? I'm leaving now?"

Zhou Shaobai saw that it turned out that it was the soldier sent by Ma Rong to take him to find Boss Duan at that time. The two of them clasped their fists and greeted him. Zhou Shaobai asked, "What is the situation in Captain Ma now?"

The soldier replied, "Although I was injured, I recovered. I am now recuperating at home. I just went to see him yesterday and was in good spirits. Mr. Zhou wouldn't visit him?"

Zhou Shaobai said helplessly: "I really want to go, but I'm plagued by things now, and I really don't have time. Let's do this..."

He took out some broken silver from his purse and handed it to the sergeant: "I'll ask Jung-yeo to buy some supplements to visit Captain Ma for me, and tell him that I'm really in urgent need of time this time and cannot visit him. I will definitely come to apologize next time. If there is any remaining silver, please ask Jung-yeo to take it for tea."

The soldier smiled and put away the money: "It's okay to say it, I will definitely visit the young master."

So the two bid farewell, Zhou Shaobai left the city gate, immediately got on his horse, followed the official road, and rushed to Nanjiang Town with a quick horse.

Nanjiang Town is an ordinary small town in Jiangnan. A clear and jade-like river flows through the town. Several ancient stone bridges are built across it. I don’t know which dynasty or era. The river is full of weeping willows. When the cool breeze blows, thousands of green branches sway. People living in the blue brick and white walled houses along the coast feel cooler.

A woman in white clothes led a white horse and slowly walked across the stone bridge. At this time, the sun was burning, and she was holding a silk umbrella. The sunlight reflected the shape of the flowers on the silk umbrella on her face, adding a bit of beauty to the already beautiful and refined jade.

A village woman who returned from washing clothes came across the stone bridge. She saw the woman's face clearly and couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock: "What a handsome man."

The girl nodded slightly: "Sister, how dare you ask where is the rest in this town?"

"A place to rest? Ah, after you cross the bridge and walk right along the river, you can see an inn. It is the only inn in this town." The village woman didn't expect that she would talk to her and quickly replied.

The woman thanked the village woman, held an umbrella and led her horse across the stone bridge, and walked to the right along the river bank.

The village woman was still standing on the stone bridge and watching her walk away, then she murmured again: "What a handsome man..."

This woman is Mu Ningzhi.

She led the horse along the river bank, and stopped from time to time to wait for the horse to eat a few bites of the grass by the river. After a while, she arrived at the entrance of the inn.

Looking up, I saw the green flags floating outside the inn, with the words "Liuxin Inn" written on it.

Mu Ningzhi looked at Qingqi, praised the word "good", then walked to the door, tied the horse under the pergola on one side, and then walked into the inn.

The shopkeeper was calculating the accounts. When someone came in, he immediately shouted: "Waiter, go and greet me!"

The waiter was dozing on the table, and he was dreaming that the seven fairies came down to take a bath. His saliva flowed all over the table. When he heard the shopkeeper's words, he jumped up and walked over with a smile on his face: "Please, please! Do you dare to ask if you are a top player or stay in a hotel? Eh? Uh, uh..."

Seeing that his eyes suddenly shone and hesitated, Mu Ningzhi couldn't help but say wonderingly: "What's wrong with you?"

The waiter woke up as if he was in a dream and said anxiously: "Oh, girl, I'm sorry for being a little loser. I've never seen a girl like you. The fairies in the dream are not as beautiful as you..."

He wanted to say something else, and the shopkeeper over there shouted anxiously: "Woman, why are you talking nonsense? Come and apologize to the customer!"

The waiter immediately became depressed and whispered: "Miss, please forgive me for being rude. I just got tired. I kept sleeping, so I said a lot of confused words."

Mu Ningzhi shook his head: "It's okay, I want to stay in a hotel and just clean a clean room for me. Also, my horse is in the pergola outside, remember to feed it."

"Yes! Is it a clean room? Please, I just cleaned it up in the morning!" The waiter led Mu Ningzhi to the second floor and opened a room.

When Mu Ningzhi entered, he saw that although the furnishings were simple, the windows were bright and clean, and there was no odor. At this time, the window on the opposite wall was open, facing the small river in the town. The stone bridge that he had just walked through was also full of sight. The scenery was very clear. The cool breeze came through the window, and the interior was very shaded.

Mu Ningzhi was very satisfied and nodded and said, "No, then this one is here. If you go down, I have to rest."

"Okay, do you want tea? I'll bring it to you?" The waiter wanted to say a few more words to Mu Ningzhi.

Mu Ningzhi shook his head: "No, I will call you when I need it."
