After a long silence, it was Lu Linlan who spoke. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 However, Lu Linlan did not respond to Yuwen Yuanzhi, but asked: "Are you finished?"

This period of silence is actually very particular.

Normally, in the face of Yuwen Yuanzhi's clamour, Luo Qingcang should immediately speak out and fight back. The speed of the counterattack is slow, and it seems that it is unreasonable. You don't see the street scolding, one or two are rushing to talk, rushing to press each other.

Who knows, Luo Qingcang was not slow to speak back at all, but did not speak at all. It's like running out of words.

Therefore, for the silence in this situation, it is the people of the Qianyuan Martial Arts Hall who are anxious. The Yuwen brothers will not be in a hurry.

Thus, a long period of silence was promoted.

――

Luo Qingcang didn't speak, but Lu Linlan asked. In this case, if you use the analogy of writing an article, it is equivalent to starting a new natural paragraph. The key is not to start another paragraph, but to end the previous paragraph. That is, the clamor in front of Yuwen Yuanzhi, the momentum created by it, is gone.

"Ah, what?" because there was no mental preparation, Yuwen Yuanzhi didn't hear clearly, so he asked.

Prepare your mind in advance to receive verbal information quickly. This is true whether you are translating simultaneously or conversing in your native language.

"Did I ask you if you finished speaking?" Lu Linlan's words were heard clearly by everyone in the audience.

――

"Ha! Who are you, and what qualifications do you have to speak here? Do you want to meddle in the grievances between my Yuwen and the Luo family?" Yuwen Yuansi stepped forward and asked rhetorically on behalf of Yuwen Yuanzhi. This actually shows that Yuwen Yuansi's head is smarter than Yuwen Yuanzhi.

Lu Linlan did not answer directly, but raised her hand and showed a piece of paper. That piece of paper is the formalities of the sword learning contract that I just signed earlier.

Lu Linlan said: "See, I learned swords in the Qianyuan Martial Arts Hall." I have a certain relationship with the Qianyuan Martial Arts Pavilion. Therefore, I am in the Qianyuan Martial Arts Pavilion, and I can speak," it can be seen from this that Lu Linlan rushed over early in the morning to sign the contract, and the intention was here, "As for your family, and the Luo family, the owner of the pavilion, the grievances between the two, I am not ready to interfere," this sentence has no choice, I can only say this. can't meddle in other people's grievances casually, which is equivalent to the rules of the rivers and lakes. Lu Linlan didn't know about the grievances between the two families, at most, from the injury of the Luo Pavilion Master, she felt that the Yuwen brothers were a little violent. But even if Lu Linlan was biased towards Pavilion Master Luo, he didn't have the proper identity to make a move, "I just don't feel strange—this," referring to Yuwen Yuanzhi, "I just spoke, and I won't say it halfway through." So I asked him, and he didn't finish. May I ask this brother," referring to Yuwen Yuansi, "is there any problem?"

"!" Yuwen Yuanzhi was immediately excited. It was obvious that Luo Qingcang was frightened by himself and didn't dare to squeak, but this woman actually slandered because she only said half of what she said, "Of course I'm done!"

Lu Linlan smiled: ", if it's an attack on me, read your first offense, I will forgive you this time, and I won't forgive next time." Of course, it may also be that I am too sensitive and spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. That, maybe not an attack on me. Look at you, well-dressed, with a poetic and bookish appearance, I think you should be a self-respecting and courteous person. I'll just assume that you are humble and state that you have finished talking nonsense.

"In what you said just now, you challenged Pavilion Master Luo. Well, there's a stakes for this challenge. What is the bet? Luo Pavilion mainly lost, so he smashed the signboard of the Qianyuan Martial Arts Pavilion. And then what? Why is there only one side of the bet and not the other side? So I said, well, you're only halfway there. So I asked, are you done? You two," referring to the two Yuwens, "do you understand this time?"

"Grandma's ......" Yuwen Yuanzhi just wanted to be angry, but was stopped by Yuwen Yuansi. Yuwen Yuansi pulled Yuwen Yuanzhi behind him and untied the long sword he was wearing: "If we lose, this sword will lose to the Qianyuan Martial Arts Pavilion." The girl came to learn swords, although she has something to do with the martial arts hall, but she is not a descendant of the martial arts hall, and she can act as a middleman. This sword, just leave it to the girl for safekeeping!" After speaking, he threw the sword at Lu Linlan. This is because he feels very pressured to face Lu Linlan, so he transforms the suspected other party's helper into a middleman.

――

Lu Linlan took the sword, pulled it out, and said, "Although this sword is a little sharp, its value is not comparable to the signboard of the martial arts hall. You've got to put on a lot of bets. ”

Lazy Wenping, who had not spoken, couldn't help but step forward and said, "Little girl, I don't know." This sword, called the Cloud Sword, is a rare magic weapon. Talking about the signboard of a martial arts hall, even if the lives of the entire martial arts hall are added together, this sword can resist it!"

This sword was sold to Yuwen Yuansi at a high price by Lazy Wenping. Being said to be inferior by Lu Linlan is equivalent to being lazy Wenping deceived Yuwen Yuansi.

"Magic weapon-" With the sound of dragging, Lu Linlan slashed down with the sword void, slashing one hundred and fifty degrees, and then the sword was inserted vertically into the ground. Lu Linlan continued, "It's not bad to be able to insert bluestone." But it's a pity that the hilt of the sword is still in the hand—" he said, raising the hilt of the sword and showing it. At the end, he threw it on the ground, "Cut! And said that it was a magic weapon! It was clear that he used a broken sword to deceive people! ”

Lazy Wenping was furious and said, "There is a problem with the connection between the hilt and the sword body, it's just a minor problem. Overall, most of the sword: the sword body, is indeed a good sword. Insert bluestone, isn't it already proven?"

Lazy Wenping is naturally quibbling. However, from a manufacturing point of view, this is indeed the case.

"Little problem?" Lu Linlan smiled, "You haven't fought before, have you?"

Lazy Wenping was asked, stunned for a few seconds, and then quibbled again: "You just said that if you just cast a sword, it will be better than this Cloud Shocking Sword." Then you will cast it, and after you have cast the sword, you will slash it against each other. If your now-cast sword is really better than the Shocking Cloud Sword, I will serve you!"

――

Lu Linlan hugged her fists: "My surname is Lu." What is your last name? ”

Lazy Wenping said: "The surname is lazy." ”

"I've only heard of the surname Lai before," Lu Linlan hugged his fist to the Yuwen brothers again, "What about the two?"

These two are both surnamed Yuwen, and they only report their surnames, which is indistinguishable. Therefore, Yuwen Yuansi said: "I, Yuwen Yuansi, he, Yuwen Yuanzhi." ”

"Just now, the lazy brother proposed a gamble and asked me to forge a sword and compare it with the sword body with this cloud sword inserted in the ground. May I ask the two Yuwen brothers, what do you mean by the lazy brother?"

"Yes," Yuwen Yuansi said, "any one of the three of us speaks, and it represents the three of us." ”

"That's good," Lu Linlan nodded to Yuwen Yuansi, and then turned to Luo Qingcang, "I don't know if Pavilion Master Luo has noticed, the sword forging gambling battle proposed by this lazy brother just now, the stakes are only one side, and there is no other party," he turned around and faced Lazy Wenping as he spoke, "No wonder the ancients had a cloud: things gather by like, and people are divided by groups."

"The lazy brother offered that if I won, he would obey me. So, what happens if I lose? He didn't say. If he's generous, it can be interpreted as if I lose and forget it. The gambling battle has become a win-and-lose battle for my side. If he is not so generous, it is explained that if I lose, he will not accept me. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Linlan smacked her lips and continued: "Obviously, I am not a person who does rough work. It's okay to cast a sword once in a while. But is it necessary for me to spend time and effort forging a sword, just to obey me or not for an unrelated person?"

Lazy Wenping stepped forward half a step forward again, ahead of the position of Brother Yuwen, pointed at Lu Linlan and said, "You don't dare to forge a sword! You are timid! Okay, we won't pursue it." You stand away, don't hinder us from seeking revenge from the Luo Pavilion Master. You just said that you don't meddle in the grievances of the two families. ”

"I don't interfere, no, I'm being pulled by this Yuwen Yuansi to act as a middleman!" Hearing this, Yuwen Yuansi regretted a little. Lu Linlan continued, "Among the three of you, any one of you speaking represents the three of you. Yuwen Yuansi asked me to be a middleman, which is equivalent to a lazy brother who also asked me to be a middleman. I am performing the duty of a middleman to determine if the value of the bets on both sides is equal. The lazy brother proposed to forge a sword and gamble, doubting the qualifications of one of us. Doubting my qualifications is actually doubting Yuwen Yuansi's invitation. Prove that the lazy brother doesn't think Yuwen Yuansi can represent you. ”

Yuwen Yuansi said, "Miss Lu, please don't provoke. It's useless to stir up. If you don't dare to agree to forge a sword and gamble, it proves that you, a Chinese man, are not fair and just. ”

Lu Linlan said: "You mean that I have to prove that I can be fair and just by forging a sword and gambling before I can act as a middleman and preside over your gambling fight with the Luo Pavilion Master, right?"

"Exactly!" Yuwen Yuansi said.

"Yes, fairness and justice are the necessary qualities of Chinese people," Lu Linlan said, "However, as a party to the gambling, you are also a necessary quality to speak like a mountain and fulfill the gambling contract, right?"

"The swords are all given to you, do you still doubt that we will not fulfill the gambling contract?" Yuwen Yuansi said.

Lu Linlan said: "This sword is so unbearable that it does not match the value of the martial arts hall's signboard. It's this sword that makes me wonder if you can say what you say. ”

"You doubt us, and we doubt you!" said Lazy Wenping, "In that case, get out of the way, don't get in the way here!"

"It's actually very easy to prove whether you say what you say," Ms. Lu said. Seeing that Lazy Wenping was angry, the Yuwen brothers were already ready to turn their faces. Hearing Lu Linlan say "very easy", he slowed down again. Lu Linlan asked, "May I ask Yuwen Yuanzhi, how old are you this year?"

"I, I'm thirty-two. ”

"Confirmed?"

"Confirm!"

"Well, there is no basis for what you say, please come up with evidence to prove that Yuwen Yuanzhi is thirty-two years old within an hour, and you can prove that the three of you are as good as you say!"
