When Chu Xianzhao dragged his tired body home, the sun had already set, a little starlight hung on his head, the evening breeze was blowing, the maids in the hall saw His Royal Highness returning, Pomegranate helped him on the shoulder and sat down on the stone bench, washing his face and dust, Chu Zhaozhao was tortured by the long night today.

Pomegranate looked at his hands full of blood bubbles, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Your Highness, what's so good about practicing swords, you will be the emperor above 10,000 people in the future, what does it matter if your swordsmanship is good or not, there is no reason to be so desperate." ”

"Who told you that I must be His Majesty the Emperor of Yinguo in the future, my father is in the prime of life, and he has not yet established a prince, you can't talk nonsense. He flicked her forehead as punishment.

"No matter how Your Highness looks at it, it is the life of the emperor, if Your Highness really becomes an emperor in the future, you can't forget us maids. ”

"Babbling girl......" Chu Xianzhao shook his head, and there was a burst of pain from the blood blisters on his hands.

"Find me some scarves tonight, and I'll have to wrap my fingers when I practice swords tomorrow." He touched the edge of his finger and grinned.

Su Younu brought a basin of hot water and put it on the stone table, gently held the boy's hand, and put it into the water to soak: "Your Highness, let the slave and maid come to feed you tonight, your hand is too badly injured, and you can't practice any swords these days." ”

Chu Xianzhao was just about to say something, and the girl's laughter came from behind him.

"This little injury hurts, when I was learning swords with my father, it was called a terrible word. ”

Guan Ju was wearing white trousers and two long swords sitting under the roots of the tree, she didn't like those red and purple palace skirts, and loved light and simple colors, which coincided with Chu Xianzhao, at this time she looked like a woman who had traveled from afar.

"You're there too. Chu Xianzhao breathed a sigh of relief lightly, his eyes looked at Su Younu, and the girl seemed to see his thoughts: "I have known Xiaoju for a long time, but I didn't expect Your Highness to bring her to Lin'an City." ”

"In the past, the two of us secretly went to Yuemei Mountain to pick hawthorn to eat, remember? Guan Ju said softly.

"Remember, after that, the whole Red City was looking for the two of us, and your mother was crying at that time...... But now I'm not a princess. She sighed.

"You will always be my princess, and my sword will serve you. Guan Ju knelt on one knee with his fists clenched, his eyes awe-inspiring.

Chu Zhao called: "By the way, how is your brother, why was he so angry that day, isn't the master your old friend?"

"My brother has always felt that the fall of Xilin was Uncle Guan's mistake...... Your Highness, don't ask, slaves shouldn't say this. She gently stroked the boy's palm, trying to ease his pain.

Chu Xianzhao was silent for a moment and looked at her: "Then why don't you want to see him, he has been asking me about you all the way, many things are not caused by him, and no one wants to see the current situation...... Including me. ”

"Your Highness is a reasonable person, the truth doesn't need to be said by slaves, I'll go boil water for you, and the meal will be fine in a while." She took the basin and left.

Guan Ju sat in front of Chu Xianzhao, a little depressed, and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess likes you very much, I chatted with her all day, she never left Her Royal Highness, it seems that she has not suffered too much by your side, you may not like her as much as she likes you, but you do protect Her Royal Highness the princess, just by virtue of this, I can trust you." ”

Chu Xianzhao shook his head: "What she likes is me now, I used to be naughty, when my father led her to me, he pointed to her face and said This is your maid, you have to treat her well, you must protect her if you encounter anything, you are a boy." ”

"I like you a little bit now, too. Guan Ju said with a smile.

Chu was stunned for a moment: "How much do you know about the matter of the Xilin Sword Library?"

"I've heard a lot from my father before, but I'm still thinking about whether to tell you, after all, you're from Yinguo. The girl's sly gaze.

Chu Xianzhao scratched his hair: "I can be regarded as half of your relatives, and talking about national feuds will inevitably hurt the feelings between us too much." ”

"Shout sister, come and listen. Guan Ju chuckled.

"Sister...... Sister, tell me where the Xilin Sword Vault is?"

"O West!"

"Be specific. ”

"I don't know the specifics, I just want to tease you and see how serious you are. She patted him on the cheek.

Chu Xianzhao walked away with a disgusted face.

The girl's voice sounded behind him: "Do you know that there is a place called Guxia Mountain in the west? East of Nanjian Mountain, north of Baihu, located in the south of the Iron Line Mausoleum, hundreds of miles away from Dahongcheng, next to the dense woodland of Changhe Town, the territory of Shuangzhou in the west, there is only that mountain in a radius of hundreds of miles, it is very abrupt, and it can be recognized at a glance. ”

"You mean that the sword arsenal in the west is all in the Guxia Mountain?"

Guan Ju's expression was serious: "No, our soldiers have searched all over Xilin, but they haven't found those swords. I can only tell you that the sword of the west was secretly transported to Guxia Mountain. When King Xilin decided to forge a sword, my father and I had not yet left Xilin, and I often pestered a palace guard to tell me stories, until one day he told me that he was going to escort the newly cast sword to Guxia Mountain, and he couldn't tell me stories for half a month. I waited and waited, but a month passed, two months passed, and he never came back, and I went to inquire about him, but no one was willing to tell me. When I finally asked my father, he kept his mouth shut, and was very silent and silent. ”

"None of the people who went to carry the sword came back...... Where the hell did they go?"

"It is said that there is an island there, and the swords are hidden on the island...... Guan Ju said in a very low voice.

How could there be an island in the mountain gorge, Chu Xianzhao was a little stunned, Guan Ju continued: "Someone has seen a mysterious island appear above the clouds, and the island is upside down, and below the island is Guxia Mountain. ”

"Is it a mirage?"

There is such a passage in the "Han Tianzhi": "mirage meteorological building by the sea", Yu Chu did not believe in this. At the end of spring, I was on the seashore to avoid the disturbances. One day at lunch, the family went to report a strange incident, saying: "There are several mountains in the sea, all of which have never been seen before." The elders in the village were surprised. I was also amazed. The master of the Chen family will send a servant to invite me. As for the corner of the sea, I helped each other to climb the Juyuan Building and look at it to the east. But see in the misty sea, stand like the peak, the peaks of the pillow are also like the peak, at first glance, uncertain. Near dusk, the beginning gradually fades, and everything is ...... after that."

"It may be a mirage, but do you know what is the most scary thing about a mirage? No one has ever found anything like a mirage, some say it's a projection of the gods in the clouds, some say it's a passage to the gate of heaven. Do you still remember the Great Qin Shi Huang? In order to go to the legendary Penglai Wonderland to find the elixir of immortality, he set off with a huge fleet, but no one returned. You yourself said that it is impossible for an island to appear within a hundred miles radius of Guxia Mountain, but that island appeared in the sky above Guxia Mountain like this, and it appeared more than once!"

"That island also has a beautiful name, it's Peach Blossom Island. It is said that this island was also painted by the famous artist Chen Hongwei in the west, but no one knows where Chen Hongwei is now, maybe he is dead, but this so-called island is real. ”

"But I advise you not to fight those swords, Her Royal Highness likes you so much, I don't want you to die, she will be very sad. ”

The two of them finally pretended to be normal, and after finishing their meal. Several people sat in the courtyard chatting, Su Younu specially took warm tea and pastries, put them in front of the two, Guan Ju took a sip of warm tea: "Instant call, I told you so much, you should also help my father treat his hands and legs." ”

"I have already ordered someone to do it, your father's old injuries are not ordinarily serious, and there are several precious medicinal materials needed for treatment, such as the Bone Transformation Herb and the Heart Oblivion Pill, which are not available in the Yinguo Imperial Infirmary, so you have to ask people to find them in Nanlu. Don't worry, Your Highness will definitely help the master heal his hands and feet. ”

"That's good, can I stay here forever after that? I don't want to go back to Jiangyue to sell cloth, it's more tiring than practicing swords. ”

"Yes, but the palace doesn't raise idlers, your swordsmanship is so good, you can stay by my side as a swordsman. Chu Xianzhao smiled quite happily, this trip to Jiangyue, picked up two swordsmanship masters and came back.

Guan Ju smiled slightly: "Swordsman, I know what attention you are paying attention to this little ghost, I Guan Ju don't like to be restrained by anyone, except for my dead ghost father, but I can guarantee that if you encounter danger in the future, I can strike three times, no matter how strong the other party is, Guan Ju swears to fight to the death!"

"Then I have to make good use of these three opportunities, can I change to other options? For example, teach me some very powerful sword moves, you are always strong, you are always strong, and you are really strong. ”

"I didn't expect you to be so backbone, sword moves...... Let me think about it. The girl closed her eyes and thought slowly.

"Thank you......"

"I've seen your sword posture, you like to use speed to improve the energy level of swordsmanship, right? Your sword path is somewhat similar to mine, I also like to use fast swords, this swordsmanship is the final sword that my father learned from the Qinglian Sword Sect, turn the sword light into a green lotus, and kill the enemy in the lotus leaf collection!"

Guan Ju pulled out a single sword, pale golden textures spread all over the sword body along his wrist, and Chu Xianzhao stood up and took a step back.

The round sword gang rose from behind the girl, like a dazzling white moon, and suddenly turned into a little broken light, like a firefly around the girl, she put the long sword on Chu Xianzhao's shoulder, her voice was extremely soft, but it carried rolling wind and thunder.

"The Azure Sword that blooms on the top of the Abyss, Qinglian kills the soul of shame-"

"Six Lotus Song!"
