Leader Cao's face was downcast. He cried and said, "All subordinates died, and the young lady's whereabouts are unknown." He was such a big man. Such a down-and-out man was too ugly.
"You still have the face to come back?" Xie Tianhu scolded. He heard that the young lady's whereabouts were unknown. Originally, he still had some doubts, but now he believed in the true meaning of the pigeon delivery.
Sect Leader Cao said in a weak voice, "I want to go back and tell you that the opponent is too powerful!" He trembled as he spoke.
Xie Tianhu waved his hand, and a pair of hooks appeared in his hand, quickly drawing down.
Leader Cao let out a miserable scream and reported to the King of Hell. He was going to the underworld to be his leader.
This is the family rule of Xiao Yao Villa,If you don't talk about failure on the battlefield, you have to celebrate success at the banquet. (If you don't succeed, you will become a friend.)
It was common in the martial arts world that a bird would be exhausted and a dog would be cooked. Xie Tingting's teacher, Mr. Cao, died.
###Chapter8,
Peach Blossom Dock.
The breeze blew and the rain fell, and willows swayed.
The mist was thin, and the water was green.
Xie Tianhu was experienced in the Jianghu and knew that there was a peach blossom forest in front of him. Many of his men died there. Instead of seeking justice, he chose a pipe on the right side and rushed to the Peach Blossom Inn on the Peach Blossom Street to see his daughter. That was the main issue.
It was no wonder that he had such a precious daughter, who just stepped into the threshold of the rainy season and received the news of death. However, this daughter was in trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, how could he not be anxious?
The Red Hare's red iron hooves stepped on the bluestone official road, making clanging noises.
Near the bazaar, there were more and more pedestrians on the street. Seeing that there were signs of fast-distance activities, they hastily gave way. They looked at each other and asked, "Is there an official coming?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. If you provoke the officials, they'll lose their heads!"
Peach Blossom Street was five miles east of the Peach Blossom Forest. Although the weather was bad, there were still a lot of pedestrians on the street. They were holding umbrellas, rushing to market, shouting and chasing donkeys. The most of the snacks from the north and south were visiting the red-lightning willow alley and Qin's gambling den. Most of the pedestrians in the rain were tourists, and there were no lack of businessmen, celebrities, and literary people.
Peach Blossom Inn, an old one. The building was built in the past thousands of years. Now, there were two families. One was a shop in the south street. The latter one was small and old. The wine brewing technique was very famous. It was good and mellow, making people unwilling to stop drinking. The shopkeeper took his son and peaches to manage it. The other one was in the second shop on the north street. It was quite new and wide. The guest room was comfortable, with suitable hot springs, peach blossom baths, and singing and dancing. The shopkeeper was the peach blossom wine of the peach garden. He had hundreds of employees who made it up, but it was not a chain one. Because of the peach garden, the peach blossom red had no contact with the peach blossom red. It was said that the peach blossom red family did not want to get married.
In this way, the two Peach Blossom Inns had their own characteristics. Each store had its own advantages and resources. They basically monopolized the hotels on Peach Blossom Street.
Xie Tianhu galloped on the Red Hare Street. He kicked away the burdens on the poles, stepped on the baskets of the tramps and knocked into the carriage of the vagrants. All the people were afraid and dared not speak, for they feared that the Red Hare would bring two bright hooks on the back of the Red Hare. The hooks held the tiger head portrait, which was the mark of Xie Tianhu himself. Who didn't know the famous Xie Tianhu? He wore a red suit and a red shirt, but the Red Hare Red Horse was Xie Tianhu, the son of the owner of the villa in the south of the Yangtze River. He was a figure who could run on any street in the south of the Yangtze River.
At dusk, he couldn't see clearly. His speed was too fast, and the banner in the Peach Blossom Inn was too small. He actually rushed over his head. He couldn't help but shout, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
Suddenly, a strong horse and a woman rushed out of the front street at a fast speed. The people on the horse shouted, "Master." She seemed to recognize this Master Xie Tianhu.
Xie Tianhu stopped his horse and said, "Xiaowen, where is the young lady?"
"Miss... Miss..." She couldn't answer. The man riding the horse also pulled the reins. It turned out to be Wen. Now she had been looking for it on the Peach Blossom Street for a long time, but there was no news from her. Now when she saw the Manor Master, she couldn't help but feel guilty and afraid. She said uneasily, "Miss... disappeared!"
"Where are you missing?" Xie Tianhu asked.
Wen looked frightened and said seriously, "I met the monk, the scholar in the peach blossom forest. The knife man disappeared when he met the emperor." She was in a hurry and forgot to mention the knife man. The monk, the scholar was the same person.
Xie Tianhu was stunned. "The killer machetemen, Mr. Chen, are also in Peach Blossom Forest? Monk? Scholar? How many of them killed Miss?" He knew about the machetemen, but he did not know about the monks. Now he thought that the three of them had killed Miss Xie Tingting.
"No, it's a scholar. A man called Machetemen who meet the Emperor has pissed Miss off!" Wen added.
Xie Tianhu's face suddenly changed. He said, "What a good swordsman! You don't respect me at all!" He turned his head and said to Wen, "Send a letter to ask the two Xiaoyao Killers to come here now!"
Xie Tianhu rode his horse up north of the street. At the intersection of the streets, there was a large flag on the eaves of a large inn, and the wine flag was blown to the crisp. On the yellow flag, a pink peach blossom was very eye-catching, and below the flag, there was a horizontal board with the word "drink" written under it,The second shop of Peach Blossom Inn. Under the eaves, a row of red lanterns swayed in the wind.
Xie Tianhu jumped off the horse and looked at the two-story inn. It was quite grand in the gloomy sky. He knew that his daughter was here!
A waiter walked out, and with a towel on his shoulder, he said, "Sir, let's drink and stay inside!" He walked around the house while holding the Scarlet Rabbit Red Armillary.
In the hall of the Peach Blossom Inn, the candlelight was bright and there were so many guests. More than a dozen counterjumpers flew around like birds. When Xie Tianhu entered, he sat in the void.
Instead of walking to the seat, he walked to the counter and said, "Manager, I am..."
Before he could finish his story.
"Hello, hello... hello..." A female head popped up from the big counter. She was about 11 or 12 years old, but her childish voice interrupted Xie Tianhu's words. "Sir, the first place is not the shopkeeper. The second place is you. You don't need to register, whether you eat or stay in the restaurant. It's easy. You can just stay in the restaurant." This was the manager's daughter, but she was the manager's little sister outside. Children who grew up in the inn were quite sensitive to money.
Originally, Xie Tianhu wanted to say his name to inquire about the whereabouts of his daughter, Xie Tingting, in the Peach Blossom Inn. But now, he was forced to stop by a little girl.
"Pah" a palm hit the counter and said, "Silver, I have plenty of money. I'm not interested in staying in the inn, and I'm even less interested in eating. I" He also retaliated in this tone, just wanting to show his intentions.
"Sir, don't be angry! Don't mess with a child!" It was another woman's voice. A woman in her thirties came out from behind the counter. She had an oval face and a beautiful face. She didn't wear makeup but looked beautiful and noble. She came in small steps with a peach blossom in her black hair, which made Xie Tianhu look at her differently. "So you are the manager of Peach Blossom Inn, peach blossom red?"
The woman smiled brightly, and the three thin corners of her eyes seemed to smile. She said, "Yes, I am. Please tell me your request. Please tell me!" As soon as the manager arrived, the little girl immediately left.
Peach Blossom Red was the shopkeeper of Peach Blossom Inn. She was over thirty years old and was still single, specially single. It was the kind of single person that had a daughter if they didn't get married. It relied on the family business of Peach Blossom Inn. In addition, her name was good, and she was quite a "heroic" person, so her business was very good. Her reputation was also very big, only big in Suzhou City. If she was too big, she wouldn't go out of the city. Many guests who lived in the inn came here for her fame. Her beauty was also famous, which would make many men want to have a try.
Xie Tianhu looked around and took out a bag of silver ingots. He put them on the counter and said, "I have something to ask for your help."
After all, the older, the wiser. He was a businessman, not a killer. Usually, he would not easily show his martial arts. Moreover, he had seen so many Peach Blossom Inns. It was inevitable that there would be masters from all walks of life here. If his daughter had an accident here, it was hard to decide whether she was alive or not. He weighed the matter carefully in his heart and decided to ask the way with money.
"Ha-ha, you're really funny. All the people who came to my store have something to ask of you!" The peach blossom red gently stretched out her slender fingers and put down the silver. "Money, it's really a good thing!"
During the conversation, Xie Tianhu's eyes flashed. He had been in Jianghu for thirty years, so he certainly knew what he meant. He said, "A hundred taels more!" He stretched out a finger. He was determined to get it.
Peach Blossom red really knew how to run a business. Before talking about it, she was raising the price. At the moment when Xie Tianhu's eyes flashed, she knew that the other party had something important to ask. At that time, the silver was cheap, one tael of silver equaled to 300 yuan in the spindle year today.
###Chapter9,
Upon hearing the addition of 100 taels of silver, the peach-blossom-like man asked, "Are you Heightslord Xie of Xiaoyao Villa?"
"Exactly!" Xie Tianhu replied, "I have something to ask you."
"Heightslord Xie, please come with me!" Peach Blossom Brothel smiled even more, like a blooming peach blossom. She turned the lamp in her hand to the backyard and turned it to the backyard.
Although the backyard was small, it was much quieter. A living room in the corridor was opened in the peach blossom red. They sat down and looked at each other.
