The woman said, "What a coincidence. Not only is there one, but there are two of them. One was found by Liu Huaixi's Mansion and the other was found by the young man in the city from his father's last words. He waited for six years and went to the snow mountain four times to check on the lotus bud. After much effort, he finally found it this year. The former was waiting for a good price. It was rumored that Liu Huaixi's original intention was to give the snow lotus to the Commandery Prince of Nanzhao as an apology to his father-in-law. Later, it seemed that the Weaving Bureau of Xishu and Nanjiang wanted to buy it and give it to the current Empress. However, there was also a top master from the Central Plains who had been waiting for many years. He said that he was willing to sell his life for Liu Huaixi in exchange for the snow lotus. It seemed that he wanted to cure a woman's illness. After the young man brought the snow lotus and carried an old man who lost his legs back to the city, the various forces started a new round of competition. After all, the snow lotus was too rare. It was sold at a high price of 30,000 taels of silver 30 years ago. Now, it was even more priceless. Even 100,000 taels of silver might not be enough to buy it. However, the ignorant young man was stubborn. He said that he did not want to sell his snow lotus and only wanted to give it to a girl from Ma Family Fort. The girl was the daughter of the Ma Family Fort's Fort Master. Her father had already arranged a marriage between the two families. Perhaps she had some interaction with the young man, which made the young man so stubborn that he was willing to risk his life for the snow lotus. Right now, the young man and the snow lotus stored in the ice cellar are blocked at the door by that Central Plains master. The two of them must have reached some kind of agreement. Without the protection of that grandmaster of swordsmanship, the young man's corpse would have been long gone. "
Song Fu lowered his voice and asked, "Do you need the Snow Lotus House to fight for the two snow lotuses? If so … "
Hsu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "There's no need for the Snow Lotus House to get involved. Just tell me the exact location of the two snow lotuses."
Madam Song's eyes were burning with determination. She said in a low voice, "Since the Fushui House set up the Snow Lotus House in this city, is it just for show? How many people have died at the border between Liang and You? Even if the Snow Lotus House is wiped out, how many people can die? "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Madam Song said that the Snow Lotus House is fair. I should do the same."
Madam Song shook her head. "It's not the same!"
Hsu Fengnian looked at the woman who seemed ready to die at any moment and said calmly, "I have the final say."
Mrs. Song was stunned.
Hsu Fengnian glanced at the door, coughed, and said to Madam Song, "I'll have to trouble Madam Song to ask the inn to prepare a carriage for me. I need to immediately go to the lotus picking youth's place. Madam Song, you can just give the coachman directions. Oh right, give the innkeeper more money. If I need anything in the future, I will definitely look for your Snow Lotus House. If not, don't act on your own accord. Just treat it as the rules of the Water Room. "
The two carriages parted ways outside the inn. Madam Song sat in the carriage with an expressionless face. Yu Qingling, who was about to go to General Liu's residence to feed the tiger with her body, mustered up her courage to ask something. Madam Song, with her eyes closed, said coldly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
In the other carriage, Hsu Fengnian sat leaning against the wall. Jiang Ni sat upright with his back against the red sandalwood sword box. His expression was uncertain.
After seven or eight turns, the carriage came to a narrow and dark alley. The simple and honest coachman stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain and said apologetically, "Young Master, Young Miss, the alley is too small for the carriage to enter. You will have to walk thirty-four steps forward."
Jiang Ni got off the carriage first and said, "Walk by yourself using the wall."
Hsu Fengnian had a bitter smile on his face. With the help of the coachman, he got off the carriage and told the coachman not to wait for them to return to the inn first. He really had to use the wall to walk. He was in a sorry state. Jiang Ni's steps were not big. She walked slowly less than six steps in front of them. She did not forget to sneer, "If you go to that Snow Lotus House to spend the night, won't you be unable to walk by yourself tomorrow?"
That was not all. She added, "'Forget about the girls in the other alleys, we'll be eating the signature dishes of the Snow Lotus House.' Tsk tsk, you're indeed a hedonistic son of a wealthy family. These words sound like something only a veteran in the field of flowers could say."
Hsu Fengnian laughed angrily, "Eavesdropping on other people's conversation makes you sound so righteous?"
Jiang Ni snorted, "My ears are sharp. Otherwise, do you think I'm happy to hear such filthy words?"
The two came to a dilapidated yellow mud house without a wall. Jiang Ni carried the red sandalwood sword box and stood with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Hsu Fengnian had to put one hand on her shoulder to stabilize himself. However, she dodged, so Hsu Fengnian had to bend over with his hands on his knees. A middle-aged man with a sword on his knees was sitting on the stairs in front of the house. He should be the swordsman from the Central Plains who was known as a grandmaster of martial arts in the eyes of Snow Lotus City. Hsu Fengnian did not know this person. It seemed that this person, who had stayed in Snow Lotus City for four or five years, did not recognize him and Jiang Ni. As for those guys lurking in the darkness, Hsu Fengnian knew that a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. Although he was weak and could be blown away by the wind, he could sense clearly with his Will of Divine. Although he could not defeat Li Mixi and Tuoba Bodhisattva, he could kill them all without lifting a finger. Moreover, he had Jiang Ni by his side. As long as it was not the 14 people of Wu Ping or the Great Grandmaster who was only one step away from getting involved, it would not be a problem. The swordsman looked straight ahead and said indifferently, "I don't care about Liu Huaixi's Snow Lotus, but I have already reserved the one in the house. You can leave now. If you don't want to give up, you can ask my sword."
Xu Fengnian gasped for breath and raised his head to stare at the middle-aged swordsman who had the demeanor of a master. He asked with a smile, "If I may be so bold as to ask, do you have a famous nickname?"
The swordsman did not answer. Instead, a hearty and loud voice came from the house, "What bullsh * t hero? This Old Man was defeated by Dong Yuanrui of Dongyue in the past. He could be defeated with one hand. Jianghu is getting more and more ridiculous today. How can this kind of trash be considered a person with a broken sword? This Old Man's generation was really full of heroes. Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about those who fought with This Old Man. There was the Overlord of Cold Land, Wang Xiu, who used a spear, and the Green-robed Ancestor of Fengdu. They could barely be considered masters. When This Old Man fought with them, it was just a warm-up. Only the swordsman with the surname Li was This Old Man's fated enemy. However, they appreciated each other … "
However, a young voice in the house interrupted the old man's irrelevant boasting, "Alright, alright. I carried you out of the cave in the Snow-capped Mountain. A real man does not boast about his past achievements, do you know that? Eat your pancake! "
Hsu Fengnian was confused. He turned to look at Jiang Ni. The corner of her mouth moved, and she said coldly, "There is no such person. The old man with the sheepskin fur coat never mentioned him to me."
Hsu Fengnian whispered, "His Qi is not even at the level of Level Two Master now. I think he will barely reach the threshold of Level One when he is at his peak. However, his Qi is even more powerful than Old Man Li's."
Then Hsu Fengnian saw Jiang Ni walking forward and asked, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Ni said indifferently, "Go in and beat him up. So that he won't be boasting without a draft."
Hsu Fengnian did not know whether to laugh or cry, "He is already so old. Why can't I have a taste of my mouth? Moreover, he was full of pride. Didn't he still put Old Man Li at the top of the list? Just based on this point, I want to drink a few bowls of wine with this' old senior '. "
Only then did Jiang Ni stop, but she suddenly turned her head to look at the corner of the alley. Xu Fengnian followed her line of sight and saw a budding young girl leading a jujube red horse. She had a kind of indomitable will that only a newborn calf would have, and she would not care about anything.
After the young girl walked into the tiger's den, she looked at Hsu Fengnian cautiously. When she saw Jiang Ni, she smiled. This made Hsu Fengnian a little depressed.
The young girl led the horse and shouted, "Hong Shuzhi, don't be stupid. Quickly find a buyer for that snow lotus. Do you hear me? That's all I have to say. I'm leaving! "
The young girl's back was facing the house. She tried not to make it too obvious that she was crying, "In the future … we will go our separate ways!"
A sallow and emaciated young man rushed out of the house. His face was full of tears. He wiped his tears with his hand and shouted, "Ma Gong, your father said that as long as I pluck the snow lotus, he will not let you marry that bastard!"
The young girl turned her head and said angrily, "My father only wants you to die in the snow mountain, you idiot! So what if you pluck the snow lotus?! "
The young girl raised her hand to cover her face. She sobbed, "We can't be together …"
The young man also cried, "I don't care. I don't want you to be with me now. Anyway, that guy is not a good person. As long as you don't marry him, it will be fine! I will be very happy! "
Hsu Fengnian was still bent over. His expression could not be seen clearly.
Then, Jiang Ni walked closer and kicked his calf.
Hsu Fengnian asked, "What's wrong?"
She widened her eyes and said angrily, "You don't care?"
She quickly added fiercely, "If you don't care, I will!"
Hsu Fengnian smiled. He put one hand on his back and slowly straightened his back. He smiled brightly, "Let me take a breather first. Care, how can I not care? "
Hsu Fengnian looked at the young man and the young girl. He sighed, "That's great."
