() After exiting the cabin, Liu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. The battle just now was quite dangerous. If he hadn't suppressed the situation with a few hidden weapons, it would have been another hard battle now.

With outstanding light skills, he could easily jump to the shore, but with Ying Ning, Liu Jian didn't have the ability at this time. Fortunately, the boatman who sent him here was waiting not far away, and when he saw Liu Jian coming out to wave, he hurriedly

Boating came over.

Liu Jian thanked him, then took Ying Ning, who said nothing, onto the boat, and asked the boatman to take them to the best inn in the city.

"Sir, I just heard some noises coming from the boat, but is there someone fighting?"

"I met some strong men who had fun and didn't give me money, so I ate the king's meal by relying on my martial arts skills." Liu Jian smiled, and when the soft breeze from the river blew him, the unhappiness he just felt disappeared. "It's all gone.

Good luck, bad luck, bad luck."

"If you are interested, young master, come see me again when you have time, and I will take you to find some interesting places."

Seeing the old man's kind smile, Liu Jian naturally felt something in his heart. He pulled Ying Ning and shook his head. Only then did he notice something strange about Ying Ning.

She didn't know what she was thinking, she lowered her head and remained silent. Liu Jian scratched the palm of her hand as if it was a joke, and only gave him a forced smile in response.

The best inn was not Yuelai Inn, but an extremely luxurious Yingbin Building. The best suite was in the courtyard in the backyard. Liu Jian spent hundreds of taels of silver to rent a courtyard for ten days, preparing to stay there.

Have a nice stay here for a few days.

His original plan was to take Ying Ning out to experience the world, and then take her home once her fun was over.

"What’s wrong with you?"

After dinner, Ying Ning remained silent. During the meal, she only picked up her chopsticks and dipped a few grains of rice into her mouth. When Liu Jian took her to be alone, he couldn't help but want to ask her about her situation.

"You are still clamoring to travel around the world, but today only two people died, so you can't accept it?"

"No..." Ying Ning sighed, took off her lotus shoes and sat on the edge of the bed, holding her knees in a daze. "I was wondering if I would be killed so easily."

"How could it be possible if I protect you?" Liu Jian chuckled twice, trying to stop her random thoughts, but Ying Ning still sat in a daze with a strange expression.

"Stop coaxing me. If you can accompany me these days, your father must have found you beforehand and asked you to go out to protect me." Ying Ning suddenly sighed softly and said something that Liu Jian didn't know how to answer.

"Looking at how you can intimidate the righteous knights and demon sect demons with just a few chess pieces, your martial arts must be better than mine. Originally, I wanted to protect you..."

"Silly girl," Liu Jian finally knew why she was lost, and couldn't help crying or laughing for a while. Her feelings were lost because of this. Ying Ning's self-esteem and self-confidence seemed to have been frustrated, and she felt aggrieved again while sitting by the bed. Liu Jian smiled and answered.

When a cup of tea came over, she also turned her head away and made a small pose.

"Is it natural for a man to protect his beloved woman? You and I are both husband and wife in name and almost in reality. Whoever is more skilled in martial arts will protect the other. What's wrong with that?"

"But I... forget it, you don't understand even if I tell you." Ying Ning sighed, she took out the dagger from her sleeve and threw it on the bed. Liu Jian smiled and took it over to play with. He admired it in the candlelight.

The faint luster of the cold light of autumn water. "This sword is good. If I didn't hide in time that night, I'm afraid I would be cut into pieces by you."

Ying Ning's pretty face turned red, as if she was drunk. She remembered letting him sleep outside the door all night, and her eyes returned to their original tenderness. She took the initiative to embrace her, but she didn't care about her daughter.

The shyness of the family. "Brother took the place of Mr. Chun, who was a little unfamiliar at first. Liu Jian smiled and didn't answer, just held her in his arms and comforted her gently.

I can't say that I love your beauty. "Don't think about it. You and I will be a couple of gods in a few years. If you want to make a living, I will accompany you to look around. If you want to find a place to live, we will build one."

A villa and countryside, admiring the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan all day long..."

Unconsciously, the moon rises outside the window, and there are three or two night birds wandering around. The day gradually passes by the words of the young girl.

Early on the next morning, Liu Jian was woken up by the girl in his arms. He got up and was served to wash himself up. The two of them continued to wander around Suzhou City in high spirits. The comfort last night finally allowed the little girl to be there.

He came back from the emotion of seeing a dead person for the first time.

The prosperity of Suzhou City is naturally not comparable to that of Yue City, and the gardens here are a must-see. However, most of these gardens are private places and do not accept outsiders at all. Liu Jian is not familiar with the place here and wants to visit some of the literati.

However, it has been a long time since I could get what I wanted.

"I heard my father say that he is close friends with several uncles in Suzhou City. Why don't you let me go and give it a try?"

"No need," Liu Jian smiled and refused. It was not his character to let his woman show off. "When we come next time, I will get to know more literati. Then there will be no harm in going."

"Ying Ning wants to see it too. I've been listening to you talk about how good these gardens are for a long time, and I also want to go in and see what Suzhou gardens are."

"I don't know if it existed at this time." Liu Jian didn't know the history of the development of gardens, and he didn't know how to calculate the era in which he lived. Naturally, he couldn't be sure whether the art of Suzhou gardens was prosperous. He had heard people mention it on ordinary days, but it seemed

There are only a few locations.

"I heard from my father that there is a Mr. Suihan in Suzhou who likes chrysanthemums and bamboos the most. He is quite famous and should be easy to inquire about."

"Suihan? Your father only occupies the plum blossoms, but he monopolizes the bamboos and chrysanthemums. This man is... what are you doing?"

"I'm going to find out where this gentleman is. We'll pay him a visit right now."

Just when Liu Jiang was about to make a comment, Ying Ning had already walked up to the vendor with a veil on her face and inquired. Children of the Jianghu community should naturally be as free and easy as those of the Jianghu community. When Yingning asked questions, she spoke with ease, without the slightest hint of coercion.

As expected, Mr. Suihan was well-known in Suzhou City. If he asked anyone casually, he would know the approximate location of his residence. He spent some money to buy some gifts. It was his first visit and he couldn't leave empty-handed.

However, the further they walked, the further away from the prosperity of the city they were. Finally, they came out of the wide-open city gate and found three or two bamboo houses in a bamboo forest.

Mr. Nongmei's mansion is not impressive in appearance, but Mr. Suihan is even... slightly poorer.

"Is anyone home?"

Liu Jian stood outside the simple fence and shouted loudly. Although he did not underestimate this person just because of the few bamboo houses, he still felt less nervous than before.

Judging from this gentleman's reputation in Suzhou City, he shouldn't have gotten to this point. He is probably an elegant man who regards money as dirt. Why does Liu Jian feel a little disapproval? In his opinion, these hungry people are not worthy of it.

Those who talk about governing the country and bringing peace to the world are truly rotten literati.

It's okay to wrong yourself, so why should you wrong your own family, wife and children? Looking at the crude construction of these bamboo houses, they can barely provide shelter from wind and rain.

Humble House Inscription, Humble House Inscription, if Liu Jian hadn't wanted to plagiarize too much at this time, he would have made the first Humble House Inscription and given it to Mr. Sui Han. However, after calling for so long, no one agreed, which made Liu Jianqing extremely embarrassed.

"Is there anyone? Is Mr. Suihan at home?"

"It seems that no one is here." Ying Ning stood on tiptoe and looked around in several bamboo houses. She was a little disappointed at this time. She originally wanted to take Liu Jian to see the garden, but she didn't expect to find a place like this.

"If we don't go back, there won't be any gardens here."

"No, don't go back until you reach the door. If your father finds out, he will probably give us a slap in the face."

Liu Jian shouted at the top of his lungs: "Is Mr. Suihan at home? Someone came out and showed his face!"

"Who is it?" A sleepy reply came from inside the house, and soon a young boy was seen running out rubbing his eyes. "What are you yelling about here? I don't know where this place is. My husband is not here."

, I will teach you a lesson if I am here!"

"Oh, this little brother has such a big temper."

Liu Jian laughed twice, but it was also a bit sarcastic, but the boy was sleepy, and he didn't know if he heard it or not. He hung the gift bags on the fence gate, and Liu Jian faced the boy who was walking towards him.

I bowed my hand. Brother, I brought Mr. Nongmei’s daughter to visit me. Since Mr. Suihan is not here, let’s leave it at that.

Say goodbye. "Brother? Who? Never heard of it." The boy muttered. When he arrived at the door, he found that the man and woman had already walked into the bamboo forest, so he calmly took the two or three gift bags in. "

Master doesn’t want to see guests, so he insists on asking me to come out and chase them away, and I get scolded twice every time. It’s true.”

The boy sighed and tore open the colored paper of the gift box as he walked, looking for the contents. It was just a few pieces of jade and three taels of antiques, which the boy threw at the door quite disappointed. "I don't know what to give as a gift.

As a gift, if you give me a few kilograms of noodles, I will accept it with a smile."

"Who's coming to visit?"

The lazy voice of a middle-aged man came from the room. The boy rolled his eyes, rubbed his belly and thought about how to deal with Brother Jin. The woman is the daughter of Mr. Xiami Nongmei. "Brother? How could he find me here?"

That’s it, it’s time to leave, let’s continue practicing!”

"Master, I'm hungry! I'm not interested in practicing!"

"Only by practicing martial arts on an empty stomach can you develop your unlimited potential. Beasts are most ferocious when they are hungry, and humans also have animalistic qualities..."

"Yes, yes, I will practice!"

The boy rolled his eyes and said, "I keep repeating this rhetoric over and over again for the past five or six years. I have developed calluses on my ears in the past five or six years! Master, your magical skills will not work. I am eleven years old this year, but you promised me that I will be ten years old."

Those who achieved great success before the age of eight."
