Zhao Mingwei looked at Marc and said, "Why do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

Marc said, "I don't know, uh...... I just want to learn swordsmanship. You teach me whether it's good or not. ”

Zhao Mingwei nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Wanjian City, Zhao Mansion, main hall.

In the hall, seven old men were sitting inside, with serious expressions on their faces. In addition to these seven old men, there is also a young man, and this young man is the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yukun.

The Zhao family has eight elders, and these eight elders are also the highest combat power of the Zhao family, and it is also because of these eight elders that the Zhao Mansion will become the number one family in Ten Thousand Swords City.

Seven of the eight elders were sitting in the room this time, and one was Zhao Danping, who was sick in bed after being beaten by Zhu Chong.

In addition to Zhao Danping, the remaining seven elders are, Zhao Wende, Zhao Weicheng, Zhao Lijun, Zhao Tianqing, Zhao Xuan, and of course, Zhao Zheng and Zhao Guang, who have appeared above.

Zhao Zheng said: "This Zhu family's courage is really too big. ”

Zhao Guang said: "We must give the Zhu family a little color to take a look." ”

Zhao Tianqing said: "Elder Danping, we can't afford not to avenge this broken arm!"

......

All the people were angry, and they all looked like they wanted to eat the entire Zhu family alive.

There is only one person who didn't say a word from beginning to end, and this person is the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Yukun.

At this time, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open, and it was one of the elders of the Zhao family, Zhao Danping, who pushed the door open.

Seeing Zhao Danping coming, Zhao Yukun hurriedly got up and said, "Elder Danping, why are you here? You are not in good health now, you should rest in bed more." ”

Zhao Danping said: "I've been lying down for so long, it's time to get up and move." Don't worry, I can't die. ”

Zhao Danping was laughing as he spoke, but there was no smile in his eyes. Not only is there no smile at all, but there is even a little sadness.

Zhao Danping said: "What are you all talking about behind my back?"

Before Zhao Yukun could speak, Zhao Tianqing hurriedly said, "We are discussing how to avenge you!"

Zhao Danping said: "I said Zhao Tianqing, you old man looks about the same age as me, why are people in their seventies still so short-tempered." ”

Zhao Tianqing said: "Don't talk nonsense, you old man, I'm much younger than you, I'm only in my seventies, and you're already in your eighties." ”

Zhao Yukun asked, "Elder Danping, do you have anything to say here?" ”

Zhao Danping said: "I think there is something strange about the Zhu family. ”

Zhao Yukun said with a solemn expression: "What's wrong. ”

Zhao Danping said: "How many big families are there in Ten Thousand Swords City?"

Zhao Yukun said: "Eight." ”

Zhao Yukun said, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Danping said: "Yes, it's eight. They are the Zhao family, the Xu family, the Su family, the Chen family, the Leng family, the Wang family, the Zhu family, and the Fang family. Although the Zhu family is also one of the eight families, you also know that the Zhu family is the last of the eight families. And our Zhao family is the head of the eight families. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "You mean that the Zhu family dares to come to fight our Zhao family's idea, so that they will not be afraid of our Zhao family." ”

Zhao Danping said: "I think there are two possibilities. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "What are the two possibilities?"

Zhao Danping said: "One is that the Zhu family has joined forces with other families, and the other is that there is a more powerful force behind the Zhu family. ”

Zhao Yukun nodded and said, "What kind of powerful force do you think it will be?"

Zhao Danping whispered: "Yibo Empire." ”

Zhao Yukun frowned and said, "You can't talk nonsense about this matter." Although the Zhu family is sometimes not very kind, they will not be treasonous. ”

Zhao Danping said: "I hope so. ”

Zhao Yukun said, "Do you know anything?"

Zhao Danping said: "I feel that the last blow he cut off my arm doesn't seem to be their Zhu family's swordsmanship, or even the swordsmanship of Ten Thousand Swords City. And I felt something else in his blow. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "Other powers?"

Zhao Danping said: "I can't tell you this. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "Okay, I know, you go and rest." ”

Zhao Danping said: "Family master, you have to be careful. ”

Zhao Yukun said: "I know this. ”

Zhao Yukun said loudly: "Someone is here to send Elder Danping to rest." ”

After Zhao Yukun finished speaking, the door of the hall opened, and a young man slowly walked over and helped Zhao Danping. Walked out.

Ten Thousand Swords City, Zhu's house, hall, dark room.

The Zhu family is a little smaller than the Zhao family, but it is not much smaller.

At this time, the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Chong walked to the hall alone, and then he walked in front of a white wall, where he stood, that white wall was ordinary and nothing special. Then Zhu Zhong stretched out a hand and gently pressed it against the wall. True Qi slowly flowed out of his fingers.

And then there was an extra door on the white wall without any special features. Zhu Chong gently pushed the door open, no one knew that there was a secret door in the hall of the Zhu family, and no one knew except Zhu Chong himself.

Zhu Zhong walked in, the dark room is very small, you will see a painting as soon as you walk in, but no one can tell which painting is painted on it. Don't get me wrong, that painting is just a blank sheet of paper, and nothing is drawn on it, on the contrary, there are five or six colors on it, but no one can say exactly what the painting is drawing.

Zhu Zhong walked in front of the painting and knelt down, if anyone saw this scene now, they would definitely be surprised, although it was said that the Zhu family was the last existence of the eight major families, but in Ten Thousand Swords City, the status of these eight major families was not much different from that of the emperor.

Just as Zhu Zhong knelt down, a voice suddenly came out of the painting.

"You've already been to Zhao's house?"

"I've been there. Zhu Zhong said.

"How's it going?"

"We have lost a lot. Zhu Zhong said.

"What about the Zhao family?"

"I cut off one of the arms of the Zhao family elder, Zhao Danping. Zhu Zhong said.

"Well, that's good. But do you think you've shaken the foundation of the Zhao family?"

"Nope. Zhu Zhong was silent for a moment and said.

"You're smart. Cutting off the arm of a Zhao family elder really can't shake the foundation of the Zhao family. But you must be able to provoke the Zhao family, do you think you can afford it if the Zhao family attacks your Zhu family in a big way?"

"I can't stop it. When these three words were spoken, Zhu Chong's face had become ugly. First, because he knew that his behavior must have angered the Zhao family, and second, he was really afraid of the owner of this voice.

"Your Zhu family, of course one family can't stop it, but you can go and unite the other two. ”

"I know that I can go to unite the Chen family, but I don't know which one else I can go to unite. Zhu Zhong said.

"The Leng family. ”

"Although the Leng family is one of the eight families like me, our two families have nothing to do with each other. Zhu Zhong said.

"You don't, but I do. ”

"The Leng family also has your people. Zhu Zhong said.

"Yes, but don't worry, I have already promised that after I take the Ten Thousand Swords City, your Zhu family will be the number one family in the Ten Thousand Swords City. ”

Zhu Zhong was in front of which painting, knocked his head on the ground and said loudly: "Long live the king, long live, long live!"

After Zhu Zhong said this, the painting became an ordinary, incomprehensible painting, without any speciality.

The next day, Ten Thousand Swords City, Zhao Mansion.

The next day Marker woke up from the guest room in the Zhao Mansion, he rubbed his eyes, and then yawned. He knew he was awake, but he just wouldn't get up. Because this bed was the most comfortable Marc had ever slept in.

But he had to get up, not because someone had to get him up, but because his stomach was hungry.

Marc got up and quickly put on his clothes. When he opened the door of his room, he found a girl with a beautiful face (this girl is actually average-looking, but for the current Marke, the girls in the Zhao Mansion are all beautiful beings), the girl whispered: "Sir, the meal has been prepared for you, please come with me." ”

Marker hummed, "Okay. ”

The girl took Mark, but she didn't go far before she came to a spacious house.

As soon as Marc entered, he saw a large table with sumptuous food, all steaming, steamed buns, siu mai, dumplings......

Not only was there food, but there were also three girls standing next to the chairs who looked good and took the lead in coming here.

One of the three girls was holding an empty basin, the other was holding a cup full of water, and the other girl was also holding a basin, but unlike the other, this basin contained half a basin of water and a white towel in it.

Marc asked, "What are you bringing me here for?"

The girl said, "Have breakfast." ”

The girl said, "Come with me." ”

The girl stopped in front of the girl who had a glass of water and said, "Rinse your mouth first, and then spit the water in this empty basin." ”

Marc complied, and he took the cup, put the water in his mouth, and spit it out again, in the empty basin.

The girl pointed to the girl who was carrying half a basin and said, "Then go and wash your face, and the towel is in the basin." ”

Marc looked at the girl with the basin and his face began to burn.

The girl smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'll be shy." ”

As soon as she said this, the girl, who had not spoken, burst into laughter. Marc looked at her, already shy, but now heard their laughter even more shy.

Marc picked up the soaked towel, wiped his hands, then squeezed the water out of the towel and wiped his face.

By this time, the girl who had just brought him over had pulled out her chair and said, "Sit here, you can start eating." ”

Marc sat down and asked, "Where is Zhao Mingwei?"

The girl said, "I don't know about this, he just said let me wait for you to get up, and let me bring you to breakfast." ”

Marc nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Marker said, "Uh-uh-uh......"

The girl said, "What else do you command?"

Marc said, "Can you go out, or sit down and eat together?" I'm ...... you guys here."

Marker whispered, "I'll be embarrassed......"

Mark's words made all the girls present laugh again.

The girl with half a basin of water said, "Okay, okay, okay, let's go out and don't disturb your dinner." ”

Just as the girl was about to go out, Marker hurriedly asked, "Is it convenient for the girl to ask Fang's name?"

The girl with half a basin of water asked, "Are you asking me?"

Marc's face burned again.

The girl with half a basin of water said, "I ......."

The girl with half a basin of water had not finished speaking, and the girl who was holding a cup that was originally filled with water, but now it had become an empty cup, said with a gun: "Her name is Xia Jia, you remember." ”

After the girl finished speaking, everyone laughed again, but this time it was not only Mark's face that blushed, but also the girl named Xia Jia who was holding half a basin of water.

At this time, the girl who brought Marker in said, "You talk to Xia Jia, let's go out." ”

At this time, the girl with the cup patted Xia Jia gently, and then went out with the other girls.

Now in this room, in addition to a table of delicacies, there are only two people, Marc and Xia Jia. Marc was sitting with a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and Xia Jia was standing with a basin of water in his hand. The scene was very embarrassing for a while.

After almost half a minute of silence, it was Marc who spoke first and said, "Are you hungry?" ”

Xia Jia said: "I ate it earlier. ”

At this time, a person pushed the door in, and this person was Zhao Mingwei.

Zhao Mingwei walked to the table and said, "Is this food still to your liking?"

Marker picked up a rack with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing and nodding his head, a happy smile in his eyes.

After Marker swallowed the dumpling, he said, "It tastes very good, thank you." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "You're welcome. ”

At this time, Zhao Mingwei turned his head and asked in a kind tone, "Why are you here, them." ”

Xia Jia said: "They are out, I ......"

"I asked her to stay," Marc said. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Do you like her?"

Marc didn't speak, but his face burned again, and it didn't take Marc to say anything, as long as anyone with eyes and sound eyes knew what Marc meant.

Zhao Mingwei didn't speak, he turned his head to look at Xia Jia on the side, Xia Jia lowered his head at this time, and he was also in the same state as Marke.

Zhao Mingwei said, "What's your name?"

Xia Jia said: "Slave Xia Jia." ”

Zhao Mingwei said, "Will you come over and eat a little with Marke?"

Xia Jia said: "But according to the Zhao family's ......"

Zhao Mingwei said: "It's nothing, you won't gain weight all of a sudden after eating a meal." ”

Xia Jia said: "Then wait for me to put this basin of water back." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'll come, I'll come, you sit." ”

Saying that, Zhao Mingwei ran over to catch Xia Jia's basin of water.

Xia Jia said: "How can this be, you are ......"

Zhao Mingwei said: "It's nothing, you sit down." ”

After speaking, Zhao Mingwei walked out with the basin of water.

Xia Jia sat down, and for a moment neither of them knew what to say.

Marc looked at Xia Jia's side and didn't have dishes and chopsticks, and Marker said, "You don't have dishes and chopsticks on your side, I'll go get them." ”

Xia Jiagang sat down and stood up again, and said, "You sit down, I'll get it." ”

But Xia Jia didn't go out, because at this time another person entered the door, but this time it was not Malke, but a girl who was holding an empty basin just now.

The girl said, "You two are sitting, and I'll get you chopsticks." ”

said that her originally empty hands had an extra bowl and a pair of chopsticks out of thin air. The bowl was in her left hand, and the chopsticks were on her right hand, and then she put the bowl and chopsticks on Xia Jia's side.

The girl said, "Talk, I'm out." ”

Marc hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute. ”

The girl smiled and said, "Is there anything else, isn't it enough to have Xia Jia, and you want me to accompany you to eat, I don't recommend it." ”

Marc hurriedly said, "No, no. I wanted to ask where your bowls and chopsticks came from. ”

The girl turned her hand back to him, and she wore a green jade ring on the ring finger of each hand. The girl said, "There are some things that can be stored in this ring, but we people use the lowest ones. ”

Marc looked at the girl's hand, and then at Xia Jia's people, Xia Jia's two hands did not have rings, yes, neither hand.

Marc asked, "Do you have any of them?"

The girl said, "Yes." As long as it is a maid in Zhao's mansion, there are them. ”

Marc said, "Xia Jia doesn't have it." ”

Xia Jia said: "I have." It's just that mine is broken. There will be a new one tomorrow. ”

Marker nodded.

The girl said, "Do you have anything else?"

Marc said, "No. ”

The girl said, "Then I'm out." ”

After the girl went out, there were only two people left in the room, him and Xia Jia.

Marc thought for a long time and said, "Is there anything you like to eat here?"

Xia Jia said: "Yes, I love to eat red rice rice rice noodles. ”

Marc said, "Then you can eat more." ”

Xia Jia said and put a piece of red rice rice rice noodles in her bowl with chopsticks, and just as she was about to eat, she stretched out the chopsticks again, took a piece of red rice rice rice noodles, and put it in Malke's bowl.

But when she put this piece of rice noodles in Mark's bowl, she wanted to say, you eat it too.

But this sentence was not spoken in the end, because her face was already hot, uncontrollably hot.

Marc looked at Xia Jia, lowered his head again, and looked at the red sausage in his own bowl, Xia Jia had put in her bowl just now.

Marc didn't know what red sausage was, let alone what it tasted like, and he looked at the thing called red sausage in his own bowl. Then I picked it up with chopsticks and took a bite. Crispy and crunchy. He could clearly see that there was shrimp in it.

Just one bite of the food, called red sausage, had already beaten all the foods that Marc had eaten before.

Xia Jia said: "Don't you like the taste?"

"No, I like it," Marc said. ”

Xia Jia continued: "How did you get to know the young family master?"

Marc said, "Young master?"

Xia Jia said: "It's Young Master Zhao Mingwei." ”

"I only met him the day before yesterday," Marker said. ”

Xia Jia said with a look of disbelief: "You only met the day before yesterday?"

"Yes," said Mark, "in a small inn. ”

Xia Jia said: "I thought you had known each other for a long time. ”

"Not really," Marc said. ”

The meal that Marc and Xia Jia ate was the happiest Marc had ever eaten, and at the same time the hardest he had ever eaten.

The food was delicious and the people who accompanied him to eat were beautiful. His heart was beating wildly, and he couldn't control it.

Marc had eaten his fill and walked out slowly.

Xia Jia said, "Are you still in trouble?"

Marc looked at her and said, "No." ”

Xia Jia said: "Then I'll go." ”

Marc hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!"

Xia Jia turned her head with a smile and said, "Do you have anything else?"

Marker's heart was beating like a mad rabbit. He now looked at Xia Jia sweating profusely, and then he mustered up his courage and said, "Where can I find you?"

Xia Jia said: "If you want to find me, you can go to the Internal Affairs Office, but I may not be there." But if you're here tomorrow, you should be able to see me tomorrow. Is there anything else?"

Marc laughed, "No." ”

Xia Jia said: "Then I'll go." ”

Marc nodded and said, "Hmm." ”

Marc wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words. Marc is not good at words, and when he meets the girl he likes, he is even less good at words.

At this time, Zhao Mingwei came over and said, "Have you eaten enough?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'm full." ”

Zhao Mingwei continued: "Is the food still appetizing?"

Marc smiled and said, "The meal was good. ”

At this time, Zhao Mingwei's eyes flashed with a hint of "cunning" and said, "The girl who accompanied you to dinner, do you like it." ”

Marc stopped talking, but he didn't speak, and Zhao Mingwei also knew the answer, because Marker blushed again.

Zhao Mingwei laughed and said, "I won't tease you." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Come and see how this sword is, whether it fits or not." ”

Saying that, a light flashed in Zhao Mingwei's palm, and after that light, Zhao Mingwei had an extra sword in his hand, which was not Zhao Mingwei's own sword.

Marc carefully took this sword, this sword was much lighter than Zhao Mingwei's sword. There are no gems on the hilt of the sword, but the pattern of the hilt and the body of the sword is carved and can be seen at a glance by those who know the sword.

Zhao Mingwei said: "What do you think of this sword?"

Marc nodded and said, "Good." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Do you think this sword is heavy?"

"It's not heavy," Marc said. ”
