When the Game Goes Out of Control

Chapter 9

The rest of the journey was very smooth. After following the mountain path past Tian Chang Mountain, they saw signs of human habitation not long after. After asking the passersby, they found out that Tian Chang Town was not far from here.

Although Tian Chang Town was not a famous town, because it was the only town that could supply supplies after crossing the mountain, it was quite famous among the people who needed to take shortcuts.

Although the town was small, it had all the necessities and all kinds of shops.

As for the biggest one, it was naturally the Cloud Gathering Inn in the west of the town.

The Cloud Gathering Inn had at least ten years of history. It had always been neither hot nor cold, but after Tian Chang Town was used as a shortcut stop, the shopkeeper felt a business opportunity. He gritted his teeth and quickly refurbished the inn.

This action was very effective. Who didn't want to eat hot dishes and take a hot bath before sleeping in the wilderness? Therefore, the effect of taking the lead to change was very obvious. Most of the customers passing by were willing to rest at his place.

Business was good today. Other than a few scattered customers, there were a few big customers who came to the inn.

These people were originally doing shady business, so they didn't dare to take the main road. The income from doing a single transaction was much higher than normal business, so they were very generous.

The shopkeeper had met them a few times, so after receiving the money, he was very familiar with greeting them.

Good wine and good dishes were served. The men sat at two tables and began to drink and eat. They talked about some interesting things that happened recently.

One of the bald men drank a bowl of wine and suddenly sighed, "I didn't expect that a prodigal son would turn over a new leaf. The dissolute Li Xunhuan Li Tanhua already has a family. I'm about the same age as him, but I still have to work hard to make a living. Now that I'm alone, I feel that it's time to settle down and find a stable job."

"Li Xunhuan?

Don't tell me it's Li Fei Dao, Li Xunhuan? "

His drinking partner at the same table asked, "Didn't he leave for many years? Why is there suddenly news about him?"

"Hey, what are you saying? You don't allow him to come back." The bald man laughed and scolded, "His legs are on other people's bodies. Where does he go need our permission?"

Another yellow robed man said, "How did you get this news? Why didn't you hear anyone mention it on the way here?"

The others also became interested and urged the bald man to speak quickly.

Li Fei Dao, Li Xunhuan was also a famous person in the Jianghu. Back then, he gave his fiancée to his brother, Long Xiao Yun, and even gave the two of them his ancestral home. This matter caused a sensation for a long time. Many people were shocked and suspected whether or not Long Xiao Yun had given Li Xunhuan a Gu. How could he do such a thing?

After the Moving Flower Palace and the Holy Water Palace heard this, they felt that Li Xunhuan was too arrogant. He actually treated his fiancée as an object and gave her away as he pleased. If everyone in the world imitated him, how could there be a place for women?

Therefore, each of them sent out their own disciples to hunt him down. Later on, because Li Xunhuan left the Great Wall, this matter was left unsettled.

Back then, the bald man was still a farmer. When Li Xunhuan left, he had passed by their village and asked for water. Although he did not recognize the person, later on, a group of women came to ask for information. Only then did he realize that the person was little Li Tanhua.

This time, before coming to take the goods, this person had passed by their village and asked for water again. Although time passed quickly, he still recognized Li Xunhuan at a glance. There were not many people in the world with this kind of temperament.

However, unlike ten years ago, Li Xunhuan already had a beautiful woman by his side when he came back this time.

When he thought of the woman in pink he had caught a glimpse of in the carriage, the bald man felt that his mind could not hold anything. Unfortunately, his status was destined to have nothing to do with such a beautiful woman. He could only hope that he would be reincarnated into a good family in his next life.

"You don't say, that woman is really beautiful." The bald man took another sip of wine and said regretfully, "I haven't studied for many years and am not very good with words. I can only say that she is like a fairy that has descended to the mortal world."

For a moment, the inn was a little quiet. Everyone was thinking about how beautiful the woman was to be able to make Li Tanhua change his mind.

After a long while, someone said, "I saw that you were not right when you came out of your home this time. So after holding it in for so long … it was because you missed a woman?"

Everyone reacted at once. They laughed and said a few dirty jokes.

The bald man's face turned red. He refuted with a guilty conscience, but no one listened to him.

In the inn, in a corner where the laughter could not reach, a man in black silently drank wine and listened to everyone's words.

Li Xunhuan?

Li Fei Dao?

Tsk, why was it another familiar name?

He remembered that Li Xunhuan and Dongfang Bubai were not from the same era. How could they appear together? What was this?

But it was necessary to investigate. After all, Li Xunhuan was also a very controversial character.

Several people had eaten and drunk enough, so they left the table in advance. Only the bald man was still secretly sad.

While he was lost in thought, a long shadow covered the light. The bald man looked up and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him.

The man waved his hand and said, "This big brother is good at drinking. I just heard big brother talk about the past and couldn't help but be curious about this Li Xunhuan and Li Tanhua. I wonder if big brother can tell me more about his story."

The bald man could not help but look at him a few more times. He suddenly realized that the man was a martial artist. The knife and shield on his back must be very heavy, but this person talked to him as if nothing had happened. This combination was not easy to practice.

Immediately, the bald man also respectfully said, "Little brother, please sit. What do you want to know?" When it came to people of Jianghu who did not know the details, it was better not to offend them.

The man was a little embarrassed and said, "I am ashamed to say that I just entered Jianghu not long ago. I am quite fascinated by these legendary seniors and want to use cultivation to get to know them.

Well, I just happened to hear big brother talking about Li Tanhua's story. I wonder if I can take this opportunity to see his style. "

The bald man thought, This Li Xunhuan has been in seclusion for so long, and there are still people who want to see his style?

I'm afraid they are not looking for trouble.

He looked at the man suspiciously and could not help but remind him, "People of Jianghu all know that 'Li Fei Dao never misses.' Those who have seen his blade are all dead. Little brother, you are new to Jianghu, so don't take things too hard."

The man smiled and said, "Big brother, don't worry. I just want to make a friend. How can I show off in front of an expert?

Big brother, can you tell me where this Li Tanhua is going? "

Seeing that the man was determined to know where Li Xunhuan was going, the bald man did not beat around the bush with him. "That direction is probably to Baoding City. Ten years ago, his Li family was in Baoding City. If you go there and ask, you will probably know."

The man nodded and seemed to be very satisfied. He took something from his waist and put it on the table and pushed it towards the bald man. The bald man's eyes widened when he saw it. It was actually an ingot of gold!

"It is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't refuse."

After he finished speaking, the man got up and bowed again. He left without looking back.
