A dashing woman in red said to them: "The sun is shining brightly, so it's really not a good time to rush on the road. Let's take a rest at this tea stall first and wait until the sun gets a little weaker before we continue on the road!"

"What the senior sister said is absolutely true. Let's rest for a while before rushing on!" A man said with enthusiasm. Dozens of people nodded and dismounted.

"Second servant, bring me a basket of steamed buns and dozens of pots of tea!" The woman in red is named Zhang Hong'er, the daughter of the leader of the martial arts alliance. She and her junior brothers sat down not far from Linlang and the others.

"Senior sister, why does master want us to go to Jiangnan this time?" the younger junior brother asked in confusion.

Zhang Hong'er smiled and said, "Father wants us to go to Jiangnan. He has his own motives!"

"By the way, senior sister, have you ever heard about the flower-picking bandit?" the younger junior brother suddenly asked.

Zhang Hong'er nodded, "Of course I have heard of it. I heard that that man committed evil and has harmed dozens of women from good families!"

"Hmph, such a crazy person must not touch us, otherwise..." The junior brother showed the long sword in his hand, "I will make him lose his blood and bones!"

Lu Zongliang sat aside and heard their conversation, and said in a daze: "That flower-picking thief...is he really that hateful?"

When the younger brother heard what Lu Zongliang said, he said angrily: "Of course that time, the flower-picking thief harmed dozens of girls, but he left their names behind and publicized the characteristics of those girls everywhere, and harmed those girls.

Girls, if you can’t get married, your public opinion will be ruined. I heard that several girls have committed suicide by drowning in the river..."

Lu Zongliang's face turned pale and he looked at Linlang with some fear, "Little junior sister, I...did I do something wrong..."

Linlang sighed in her heart and said with a hint of comfort: "Don't think too much, maybe that person is really a good person, maybe he will abide by your promise and won't let that flower-picking thief come out to do evil.

, so you should keep an open mind and think about the good in everything!"

"What are you talking about? Is it possible that you also know about the flower picker?" the junior brother asked suddenly.

Linlang smiled at the junior brother and said, "You are really right. Yesterday, when my senior brother and I were staying at the inn, we suddenly smelled the smell of famous cigarettes. If the senior brother hadn't been vigilant, I would have been picked by the flower picker.

The thief succeeded!

It’s just a pity that my senior brother and I were not good at learning and let the flower-picking thief escape!”

When the younger brother heard this, he was in awe, "So that's it, but since the two of you can detect the movements of the flower-picking thief, it is also very impressive. You two are also sons and daughters of the world. Where did you learn from them?"

Linlang reported his father's name, and his junior brother said with admiration: "It turns out that he is a disciple of Daxia Lin. I have admired him for a long time!"

Zhang Hong'er also turned around, "My father and Daxia Lin are sworn friends, and he has always said that Daxia Lin has a true chivalrous heart and has great martial arts skills!"

Linlang then showed an embarrassed look, "This girl is so amazing. I wonder who her father is?"

"Ha!" The younger junior brother suddenly raised his chin and said proudly: "My senior sister's father is the current leader of the martial arts alliance!"

"Oh, it turns out it's Miss Zhang. I really admire her name for a long time!" Linlang bowed her hands to her, "By the way, Miss Zhang, I heard that you are also going to the south of the Yangtze River. My junior brother and I are also going. I don't know the future.

Can you make a companion and let’s go together?”

"Of course you can. I have long heard that Daxia Lin is very good at kung fu. Since you are his daughter, you must also be very good at kung fu. I would like to compete with you. Is it possible?" Zhang Hong'er said boldly.

.

If an ordinary person said this to him, you might think that he was provoking him. But when Zhang Honger said this to him, he definitely wanted to compete with him in martial arts and had no other intention, so Linlang agreed.

"Of course you can, but Miss Zhang, my kung fu is just average, so let's just stop at the point of the competition!" Linlang said softly.

"Okay!" Zhang Hong'er agreed with a smile, "I'm really happy today, but it's a pity that it didn't last long. It would be better if I could have another jar of wine. I would have wine, friends, and a bowl of meat... Hahaha..."

Linlang was also moved by Miss Zhang's boldness and laughed, "Miss Zhang is so bold and doesn't stick to small details!"

Lu Zongliang sat aside and gently tugged on Linlang's sleeve, "Little junior sister, I know your martial arts. I saw Miss Zhang's carelessness. What if you can't hold back and you get hurt? I'll see this time

Forget it if you’re better than me. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll step in for you. What do you think?”

"Senior brother, you can't judge people by their appearance. Although Miss Zhang looks careless on the outside, she is extremely delicate on the inside. And we also agreed that if we stick to the point, there won't be any accidents!" Linlang continued with a smile.

: "Besides, the two of us

It doesn't matter if a girl competes with you and a boy joins in. If you really want to compete with others, look at Miss Zhang's junior brothers. There are quite a few of them. You can also compete with them.

It’s also good to understand your own shortcomings!”

Lu Zongliang felt a little depressed when he heard this, "I'm just worried about you..."

Linlang smiled gently at him, "Don't worry, I have my own plan. Look how bold and generous Miss Zhang is. This is the attitude that children of the martial arts should have!"

Lu Zongliang looked at her twice and then moved his eyes elsewhere. She was pretty in appearance, but her personality was really unpleasant. He still liked his little junior sister, who was so sweet, soft and cute.

After resting for a while, the group set off and left. By the time they arrived at the next town, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the sunset remained on the city wall, mottled and drifting, looking a little depressed.

"This town is too deserted..." The junior brother looked around and said, "It's not even night yet, why is there no one in the town?"

Linlang also felt strange. Although the town was a bit dilapidated, there were quite a few blue-brick houses, which meant that the people here lived a good life. But why did it look so depressed? The autumn wind rustled, and the leaves fell to the ground along with the autumn wind. It looked like

Still a bit eerie.

After finally arriving at an inn, I found that the door of the inn was tightly closed against the small stone wall. I got off my horse and knocked on the door.

After a while, a man in plain gray clothes opened the door. After seeing them, he realized, "Do you want to work as a guest or stay in a hotel?"

"Stay in the hotel, and cook some meals and boil some pots of hot water!" Zhang Hong'er got off the horse, "I hope the shopkeeper will help us take good care of the horses and feed them more food and grass. We are still in a hurry tomorrow!"

"

The man nodded and shouted several times into the house. A little boy ran over and helped them lead the horse to the backyard.

"Sir, please go inside!" After the shopkeeper brought the people in, he said as he walked: "There are not many rooms. There are only 5 upper rooms, 10 lower rooms, and a few large shops, but it should be enough for everyone.

Got it!"

"Shopkeeper, money is not a problem. We all want these rooms, don't rent them to others!" Zhang Hong'er said boldly.

Linlang also got involved and lived in an upper room. The main reason was that among these disciples, only she and Zhang Hong'er were girls, and their status was quite special, so they definitely couldn't live together, so they

One person stayed in one upper room. As for the other upper rooms, the male protagonist naturally had his opinions. After all, no matter what the male protagonist said, they were still guests. Letting guests stay in lower-class rooms was not the way to treat guests.
