Back at the inn, there was no one in the three rooms and they were locked. Hong Xiaoduo asked Sasao's clerk and found out that eight masters and apprentices, one big, seven little ones, were practicing martial arts in the backyard of the inn.
Hong Xiaoduo looked over and saw eight masters and apprentices squatting on horseback and practicing punches.
The seven children were sweating from practicing. They all took off their cotton robes and put them aside. Steam was rising from their short stubble.
When Quan Jinghuai saw her coming back, he motioned to his disciples to continue practicing. He looked at her and asked, "Is it done?"
"Yes, it's done." Hong Xiao Duo responded, looking at the seven children practicing martial arts seriously, feeling very pleased.
"You have quite a lot of connections." Quan Jinghuai joked.
Hong Xiaoduo raised his eyebrows and said: "It's okay, mainly because I have a good character."
After saying that, he turned around and left without disturbing their martial arts practice, and returned to the room. Lying on the bed fully clothed, he pulled the quilt over half of his body, closed his eyes and took a nap.
When the seven masters and apprentices returned, Yu Heng found that she was asleep, and quickly walked out to signal everyone to keep their voices down.
When Hong Xiaoduo woke up, the sun was almost setting.
He rubbed his eyes and sat up, but he didn't see Yu Heng and Yao Guang. He stretched and walked out of the room, only to see them practicing calligraphy in Tianshu's room.
"Mom, those military masters are here and waiting downstairs." Tianquan told Hong Xiaoduo immediately when he saw him.
When Hong Xiaoduo heard this, he said: "Then why didn't you wake me up earlier?"
Children, look at me. I see you don't know how to respond. .
It’s not that they didn’t enter the room and wanted to wake her up, but unfortunately she was sleeping so soundly that they couldn’t bear to shout!
Hong Xiaoduo immediately walked out and saw Quan Jinghuai outside the door: "Are you going like this?" He pointed at Hong Xiaoduo's head and asked.
Although I only wore a high ponytail, my hair was messed up after sleeping all afternoon.
"Is it okay?" Hong Xiaoduo muttered, but still returned to his room and simply freshened up.
In the lobby downstairs of the inn, there were six men in military robes, two sitting across from each other drinking tea, and the other four stood looking frequently towards the stairs.
“This good-natured little lady you met has a lot of airs, isn’t she?” Lin Ansheng picked up the tea cup and said with a smile.
Peng Xian said hurriedly: "I must be tired after a long journey. If the general is hungry, why not go to the restaurant first, and the subordinates will pay for it."
Ying Hai was waiting to hear what he said. After knowing it clearly, I complained to General Lin in my heart. When I learned that the deputy general was coming to entertain Miss Hong, I had to come with him.
"Haha, am I here to have some food, general?" Lin Ansheng would not leave.
Peng Xian has been with him for many years, and he knows his temperament best. How could he be so interested in a young lady he met on the road? No matter how I listen to it, I feel like there is something in it.
That’s why he deliberately followed her, just to see what kind of person the young lady praised by his confidant was.
As they were talking, they heard footsteps coming from the stairs. The six people turned their heads and looked over, and saw several children coming down, then a young man, and finally Hong Xiaoduo.
"Ms. Hong, we meet again." Qifeng and others happily greeted Hong Xiaoduo.
"Hello, see you again." Hong Xiaoduo also responded happily.
When they arrived, Peng Xian and Hong Xiaoduo introduced those around them: "This is our General Lin."
"General, she is the little lady Hong that my subordinates told you. ”
"Hello, General Lin." Hong Xiaoduo greeted the other party politely. The person Peng Xian brought should have a good relationship with him.
So, for the sake of Peng Xian and others, we should be more enthusiastic with them. Lin Ansheng looked at the elegant young lady in front of him, and suddenly understood why Peng Xian and several of his subordinates were acting like this. No twitching, no traces of makeup on her face, her bun was simple, and she didn’t even wear a hairpin.
Lin Ansheng smiled and nodded to Hong Xiaoduo, which was considered a greeting.
"Who is this?" Peng Xian looked at Quan Jinghuai standing aside and asked in confusion.
The person who came down the stairs just now thought he was another guest of the inn, but he didn't expect that he was with her.
"I, Quan Jinghuai, have met the general and several military masters." Quan Jinghuai said with fists in his arms.
"He is Tianshu's master." Hong Xiaoduo added on the side.
Lin Ansheng and others also smiled in return as a greeting.
When everyone arrived, we walked out to the restaurant we had reserved.
Yang Yichuan and the others were making a fuss with the children while walking. Peng Xian walked beside Hong Xiaoduo and whispered: "So quickly, you found a master for them?"
"Well, Tianshu and the others want to learn , and he just wanted to teach, so he became a master." Hong Xiaoduo responded.
Lin Ansheng, the general, and Quan Jinghuai, the master of seven children, were last, walking side by side. They were strangers to each other and didn't know what to talk about, so they simply stayed silent.
Not far after walking out of the inn, we arrived at the restaurant that Peng Xian had chosen, Linjiang Tower.
I asked for a private room with two tables inside.
Without Peng Xian asking for any arrangements, Ying Hai and Qifeng sat at the same table with seven children.
Hong Xiaoduo and Quan Jinghuai sat at the same table with Peng Xian, Lin Ansheng and the other two.
The other two actually wanted to sit at the same table with the children. No one wanted to sit at the same table with Lin Jiangjun. The children's table seemed a bit crowded, so they had no choice but to sit at the same table with their own deputy general. .
"Ms. Hong, do you want to drink?" Peng Xian asked.
“Thank you, I won’t drink.” Hong Xiaoduo responded decisively.
Everyone at the table was drinking except her, and the food and wine were served quickly. Hong Xiaoduo brought light tea and wine, and chatted with them while eating.
"Ms. Hong, when you came here, did you hear about the incident near Baishi Town?" Peng Xian remembered and asked.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at him in confusion: "We didn't go to Baishi Town. Is there any gossip?"
"A group of robbers who made a living by blocking roads and robbing were killed. Clean up." Peng Xian told her, thinking that she and the children were really lucky.
Otherwise, if we encounter that group of robbers early, the consequences will be disastrous!
Even if the master now has seven children, no matter how powerful he is, he can still defeat more than twenty robbers by himself!
"Is that so? Then they are really unlucky. They are about to celebrate the New Year. Now it is good for the Lord of Hell to celebrate the New Year." Hong Xiaoduo was surprised when he heard this, and he was also in his heart. Glad I took the small road.
"Yes, I don't know where the people who deal with them come from. They are really cruel." Ying Hai said.
Who? Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but think of Tang Xihua and the others. They were almost the same in number, but, right?
"Could it be some kind of vendetta, a gangster taking advantage of the gangster or something?" Hong Xiaoduo guessed casually.
While talking, I didn’t delay eating.
Lin Ansheng, who was sitting opposite her, was drinking wine and couldn't help but look at her a few more times. This was the first time he ate at the same table with a young woman. She was still a strange little woman, and she was the only one at the table. A little girl, but not at all reserved.
Looking at her dress, she looks like a woman from the world, but why don’t I feel that she has the aura of internal strength...
