Forty-first
Qin Zhao's sword, a "Maoling", guarded the peace and tranquility of the vast territory of the Southern Dynasties, protected thousands of households in Mobei from the suffering of war, and also shocked the generals of the enemy country. โฎ Yan Moxuan โฎ ad-free โฎ
And the hand of the hand, the same is a rare sword, called "Zhan Lu", according to legend, in ancient times, the king of Yue Yun often made Ou Yezi cast five famous swords, of which "Zhan Lu" is the five swords, set the essence of heaven and earth, out of the gods, the service has the might, can let the silk and the edge pass away, the iron near the blade is like mud, the world is unmatched.
This "Zhan Lu" sword was obtained by the ancestor of my Murong family by chance, and it was originally passed on to the eldest son, but the eldest brother was weak and not suitable for martial arts, and "Zhan Lu" was in his hands for many years, and it was like an ornament.
It is because he has been obsessed with martial arts since he was a child, and he has seen this sword more like a baby, and he has been spent in the eldest brother's room all the year round, and he has been begging to live and rely on this "Zhan Lu" to dance, when he was ten years old, the eldest brother once couldn't help but quip, the ancient Yang Shi, You Xing Lixue begged for the Tao, why don't you also stand in front of my door for one night, I will give you this "Zhan Lu", and complete a good story of "Lixue seeking a sword"?
It was a joke, but someone immediately let go of the steaming horse* in his hand, and without saying a word, he strode out of the door and stood.
At that time, it was the middle of winter, and the capital was already covered with snow, and the water droplets turned into ice.
The eldest brother was startled, and hurriedly chased out the door to pull him, but he stood in the snow a foot deep and refused to leave.
The little boy just raised his eyebrows proudly and said, what I like, I must take it by myself.
It was cold, and after a while, his lips were already blue, and the eldest brother was so bluffed that he had to send someone to invite his father and mother over, and the mother was very distressed, and he reprimanded the eldest brother and coaxed him, so he just didn't listen, and made up his mind to stand for one night to change the "Zhan Lu", and his father watched quietly for a long time, and then sent a message, only saying that it was up to him, and the men of my Murong family should be like this.
Since his father said this, his mother and the rest of the family could not continue to refute it, so they could only bring him a thick fox fur stove from the house, and he stood in the middle of winter ice and snow all night.
That night, no one in the mansion could sleep peacefully, the sky was bright, the eldest brother was the first to hold "Zhan Lu" and rushed out with guilt and worry, at that time, Tong was already so cold that he couldn't speak, he stared at "Zhan Lu", reluctantly bent the corners of his lips, and smashed down hard.
That time, let him lie in bed for a whole month, and even the doctor said with emotion that this child's willpower is too strong, and he can stand in this ice and snow for a night, how much self-control and perseverance should be needed to maintain his consciousness and not fall down.
This matter, until now, the mother is still often half joking and half emotional, every time I talk about it, I love and hate her youngest son, since he was a child, he is very smart and abnormal, Wen Taowu is strategic, proficient in everything, and naturally the most popular with his parents, however, his unruly temperament and angry temper like a demon king in the world have always been the most headache for his mother.
Now, I look at the figure of the white-clothed Shengxue holding a sword in the courtyard in the distance, and I can't help but smile bitterly, if my mother knows, I don't know how worried and angry she should be.
Just thinking about it, he saw a flash of sword in the distance, it was "Zhan Lu" who came out of the sheath first, and then there was a crisp sound, it was the sound of "Maoling" facing the battle.
In the days with Su Xiumian, although I didn't learn the sword, I had seen him practice the sword, and he also explained it to me in detail while making moves.
He has been apprenticed to a famous teacher since childhood, and he is willing to practice hard, one move and one style, all of which are exquisite, elegant and smart, and look like a real dragon. And Qin Zhao's swordsmanship is much simpler, without any fancy and beautiful movements, the sword momentum is calm, clean and neat, and he often strikes preemptively.
Both of them are good at using swords, for a while, "Maoling" and "Zhanlu", it is difficult to distinguish between them, the soldiers who are watching around are all amazed and faintly admired, and Nan Chengyao's eyes are also lit up little by little, it is the loneliness of the high place, and finally found an opponent that can be matched.
I don't know how long it took, with the uncontrollable whisper of the onlookers, the "Zhan Lu" pierced into Qin Zhao's left arm, and the sword edge of "Maoling" was already pointed directly at the throat.
He was slightly stunned, and Qin Zhao had already slowly withdrawn his sword.
I couldn't wait any longer, so I trotted in the direction of the courtyard, Nan Chengyao didn't stop me, and when I entered the courtyard, I heard a crisp and clear voice: "I lost." โ
Qin Zhao casually ripped off the corner of his clothes to wrap the wound on his shoulder, and said lightly: "You just lack actual combat experience, and it has nothing to do with the level of swordsmanship." โ
There was no chagrin on his face, but there was a faint look of happiness, and his voice sounded clear again: "Losing is losing, there is nothing to say." I should have stopped there, but now I have to find my sister, where I offended, Murong Tong will come back later to ask for the offense. โ
While speaking, I wanted to rush inside when I mentioned "Zhan Lu" again, and I hurriedly called him: "Murong Tong." โ
When he heard my voice, he turned his head suddenly, and when he saw me dressed in men's clothes, he first shook his head for a moment, and then laughed loudly, and his originally tense expression slowly relaxed.
"What are you laughing at, don't you get off the horse and come over, look at the trouble you caused, how can such a big person be as willful as a child?"
I deliberately kept my face calm and pretended to be angry, but after seeing the dust on his body and the exhaustion on his face that could not be hidden, my heart softened, and I couldn't say anything more about reproach.
He will be here, he will come all the way like this, and he will be like this, regardless of the forced entry into the Yecheng office, all because he is worried about me.
He looked me up and down first, and then completely relaxed and smiled: "Fortunately, nothing happened to you, then I will not care about it after a few days and nights." โ
I looked at him for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, shook his hand and said softly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see His Highness first." โ
He suddenly looked straight as if he remembered something: "Second sister, you wait for me for a while." โ
I was puzzled, but he had already let go of my hand and turned around and walked towards Qin Zhao.
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist and threw it to Qin Zhao, and said loudly: "This is purple jade green cocoa ointment, the best medicine for injuries, if it weren't for the mercy of your subordinates, it should have been used by me, so it should be given to you." โ
Qin Zhao held the blue and white porcelain vase, but did not prevaricate, only lightly hugged his fists and thanked him.
In the eyes of both of them, there was a faint flash of heroic sympathy.
Seeing him accept it, he smiled, and walked towards the outside of the yamen in a chic manner.
The onlookers, although they still didn't know the identities of me and Tong, saw that I came out of the inner courtyard, and Qin Zhao no longer stopped them, and they all looked pale for a while, not knowing what to do.
Qin Zhao nodded slightly, raised his hand, and motioned for them to go down, and walked straight to a person with blood on his arm, and solemnly clasped his fists and saluted.
I recognized that person was the guard who stopped me and Shuying outside the official yamen of Yecheng that day, and I couldn't help but feel that most of the injuries on his body were caused by this little demon king's whip when he was blocked.
After a few steps, he only heard a frank face and said to the man sincerely: "This eldest brother, because I was worried about my sister's safety, I was a little angry, and I didn't think much about it, so I hurt you." Since you refuse to fight back, but I can't feel at ease, I will hurt myself and apologize!"
Before he could finish speaking, he raised his horsewhip with his right arm, and without hesitation, he swung it on his left arm, leaving no room for manoeuvre, just like the guard's wound, but he was afraid that it would be more serious.
I exclaimed and pressed it before I could say it, I was distressed, but I didn't look at his injury at the moment, stepped forward and smiled calmly at the guard and said, "Today's matter, I hope this big brother will not worry about him and take more responsibility." โ
When the guard saw my face, he was puzzled, and suddenly saluted respectfully behind me: "Third Highness, General Qin." โ
I turned around and motioned for Yu to come forward and salute Nan Chengyao.
I know that because of me, he has always had a lot of complaints about Nan Chengyao, but now it is probably because he knows that he is at a loss, so he simply stepped forward to Nan Chengyao and saluted and said, "I have seen the Third Highness." Murong Tong trespassed on the forbidden land this time, and he knew that he had done it, and he was willing to receive the punishment. โ
Nan Chengyao smiled casually: "My rule has always been clear in rewards and punishments, although you are not my subordinate, but you have broken military discipline, even if you are my wife and brother, you cannot be exempt from punishment." โ
He didn't even frown, and replied neatly: "This is natural, but with the punishment of His Royal Highness, Murong Tong has nothing to say." โ
Nan Chengyao looked at him, and still said lightly: "Now that the Northern Hu is attacking, in the territory of Mobei, the warriors of my Southern Dynasty are all fighting bloodily. The day of the final decisive battle is just around the corner, but in the face of the battle in which Beihu poured the strength of the whole country, our manpower is still lacking. Brother Tong is Prime Minister Murong's beloved son, a daughter's body, if I punish you for charging into battle, I don't know if the prime minister will have objections?"
There was already an excited look on his face that couldn't be hidden, but he could still calmly clench his fists and respond loudly: "Serving the country is a man's responsibility, if my father knows, I will only thank His Highness for giving me this opportunity." Besides, His Royal Highness is still the first soldier with the respect of the prince, what reason does Murong Tong have not to put on armor and go into battle with all the warriors of my Southern Dynasty to fight against the Northern Barbarians?"
Nan Chengyao nodded slightly, and then spoke: "You have no military merits, and you have no actual combat experience, I can only arrange for you to start as a soldier with the lowest rank, otherwise it will not be enough to serve the public." Naturally, this is also the most dangerous position, and it is really charging into battle and taking the lead. So, would you still like that?"
With a straight face, he knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said, "Murong Tong is here to receive orders and swear to break the Northern Barbarians!"
Nan Chengyao's eyes were slightly approving, and he turned his head to ask Qin Zhao beside him: "Just make him under your command, what do you think?"
Qin Zhao had been silent for a long time, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes to look at Tong, and he was facing each other's raised gaze, looking at each other and smiling slowly.
One person is cheerful and long-lasting, and the other is clear and indifferent, fleeting.
Qin Zhao looked sideways and said to Nan Chengyao: "Your Highness Xie, if you have this person, Qin Zhao can't ask for it." The day of the capture is just around the corner. โ
