In the dictionary of Duan Zhong, pretending is a performance art. What kind of words have to be said in front of whomever you want. And now the rumor of the city is that our Wen Yuanbo is a master of a dignified section, so he naturally wants to put on a master's shelf.

As for whether anyone was spying on him on such a beautiful night and under such a beautiful night, Duan Zhong actually didn't know about it. But he is also a master of the name, if the second prince is a cautious person, he will not let people follow him and stare at him. And according to directional thinking, if you want to keep an eye on a first-stage martial arts master, no matter how stupid a person is, she will not send a second-stage master, which is tantamount to death, of course, except for a shadow in the dark night like Jiang Mingchen.

So Duan Zhong guessed that maybe in a corner of his yard, there was a pair of eyes staring at him.

Duan Chong's voice floated out, not loud, but enough to slowly reverberate in the courtyard. Duan Zhong touched his nose and said that it must be fake if he was not nervous. If the master of this section suddenly jumped out and slashed himself, it would be really unjust.

There was no response, so Duan Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. But Duan Zhong continued to speak: "Playing peek-a-boo in the middle of the night is indeed a very boring thing. Why don't you drink two glasses of sake? ”

Duan Zhong shook his head, maybe his words were unattractive, or maybe there was really no one watching him, in short, there was no answer. So he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, sighed, and turned around to sleep. But he suddenly felt a breeze behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to see that a figure was already standing in front of the window.

Duan Chong's heartbeat speed at this moment has reached the apex: there are really people. But he had to pretend to be calm: "Brother Tai might as well come in and sit down, drinking and chatting is not much more comfortable than staying outside." ”

The dark shadow outside hesitated slightly, and in a flash, he had already entered the room and sat on the table in Duan Chong's room. Duan Zhong squinted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, he was very young, only about twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in green clothes, thin and tall, and he really looked a little delicate. Duan Chongxiang is good at thinking about himself, but the person in front of him doesn't seem to be inferior to himself. Therefore, Duan Zhong couldn't believe that the extremely handsome young man in front of him turned out to be a martial arts master.

But the facts are here. So Duan Zhong could only purse his lips, sat down at the table with an extremely indifferent smile, turned over the wine glass covered on the table again, poured a full cup of sake into the glass, and pushed the wine glass in front of the young man in front of him.

The young man looked at the wine glass that Duan Zhong pushed over, and smiled slightly: "Thank you!" "It's a very pleasant sound. Reaching out and picking up the wine glass, he took a sip of it lightly, and then put it down again.

Duan Zhong touched his nose: "Are you afraid that this wine is poisonous?" ”

The young man shook his head slightly: "I know that there is no poison in this wine. ”

Duan Zhong sighed, thinking that the question he asked was indeed mentally retarded enough, he drank half of it himself, if it was poisonous, I am afraid that he would have poisoned himself to death. Then he smiled again: "I thought that what I was looking at outside every day should be a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties with a fierce face, but I didn't expect it to be such a handsome person, and he is also a master of a paragraph, which is really unbelievable." ”

The young man smiled, "You're ten years younger than me. ”

Duan Zhong laughed bitterly twice, he was indeed more than ten years younger than the young man in front of him, but his cultivation in this martial arts was more than a little lower. After all, Duan Chong's legendary martial arts cultivation is a rumor, and the real strength, Duan Chong is embarrassed to say

So Duan Zhong changed the topic very cleverly: "You are not the person of the big beam. ”

The young man nodded.

Duan Zhong continued: "I don't know what is the reason for you to work for the Second Highness, but I don't think people like you can be bought by silver. Therefore I do not believe that you are buying and selling silver. ”

A smile appeared on the young man's face, and it was one of great interest: "Then what do you think is the reason?" ”

Duan thought about it for a while, and finally slowly spit out two words: "Master's life? ”

The young man's expression finally changed, but then returned to normal: "No wonder my master often said that the Duan family's Sword Saint accepted a good apprentice, you are ruthless and smart, I must admit this." ”

And hearing that the other party affirmed his guess, Duan Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that his guess is not wrong. The young man in front of him was the apprentice taught by the grandmaster-level monster on the eastern sea, no wonder he was able to reach such a high level of martial arts at such a young age. In Duan Chong's mind, he especially deeply remembered the earth-shattering duel on the sword wall of the nineteen peaks of Cangshan back then. That battle gave Duan Chong too many insights and touches, and the two years on the sword wall were also the two years when Duan Chong was the most diligent and made the most progress.

And now, one to the east and the other to the south, the two apprentices of the grandmaster-level old monster are sitting together, drinking wine and chatting, which is indeed a very wonderful thing, because the two stand on opposite sides.

So Duan Zhong smiled and accepted the praise of the young man in front of him, and asked instead, "What's your name?" ”

"Chen Shuai."

A simple and domineering name, Shuai is the handsome commander of a thousand armies, of course, if you understand the meaning of handsome, there is nothing wrong with it. Because from the aesthetic vision of Duan Chong's last life, this Chen Shuai is indeed very handsome, only a little worse than Duan Chong. (Well, this is what Duan Zhong said himself, and the author of this article does not assume any joint and several liability)

With such a name, Duan Zhong naturally didn't make any evaluation, and instead asked, "Are you his closed disciple?" ”

Chen Shuai shook his head: "He has many disciples, and I am just the lucky one." ”

Duan Chong's eyes widened: "Could it be that he has taught a lot of masters of the first stage?" ”

Chen Shuai shook his head: "Do you think that the master of a section is as cheap as the vegetables sold on the street?" However, there are indeed many apprentices taught by my master who are better than me. ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose, feeling a little unfair in his heart, he was a serious and authentic disciple of Duan Zhengzong, and this level was only to the point where he was dissatisfied with the second stage and more than the third stage. Look at the other people, the gap is too big. Of course, it is naturally not easy to talk about belly slander, and Duan Zhong already knows almost everything about the other party's origin, and if he asks again, he will naturally not get any good face.

Of course, Duan Zhong should be very happy at the moment. At least the martial arts master in front of him chatted happily with him, and he didn't seem to have any plans to do it, so there was no need for Duan Zhong to pretend to be a master's momentum and shelf, after all, acting is also a very difficult thing. However, the night was long, and there was always a topic to continue the pleasant conversation.

So Duan Zhong let out a long sigh and stared out the window: "Tonight, there will be a big event outside Nanjing." ”

Chen Shuai's eyebrows raised: "It seems that you already know what will happen today." This doesn't seem like a good thing for me. ”

Duan Zhong touched his nose: "You are very calm." But I don't think you should be so calm. ”

Chen Shuai smiled: "Why can't I be so calm. ”

"Because it's your people who are acting tonight, and I expected it, so I will naturally be prepared."

Chen Shuai raised the wine glass in his hand, arched his hand and said, "Cheers!" ”

Duan Zhong finished the glass of wine with Chen Shuai, and did not speak, but listened to him continue: "My senior brother is over there, so naturally nothing will go wrong." I don't think you should be so calm. ”

Duan Chong's eyes blinked, he was still calm on the surface, but there were turbulent waves in his heart. And all of Duan Chong's composure tonight was originally pretended. "Your senior brother?"

Duan Zhong hesitated, but Chen Shuai smiled slightly: "That's right, this operation is in charge of my senior brother." Since he is my senior brother, you must have guessed that he is also a master of the first paragraph. ”

Chen Shuai's words were a boulder, which smashed directly into Duan Chong's heart. At this moment, Duan Chong's heart was already surging and the waves crashing on the shore. What is the concept of two one-stage masters.

Originally, in his own plan, after using himself as bait to contain the unknown master of the second prince's side, Jiang Mingchen and the elites of the "poisonous fangs" had enough strength and equipment to deal with any enemy. However, the other party has an additional dance master, and the situation is different.

The difference between the second stage and the first stage cannot be made up for by hard training overnight. And Duan Zhong is measured by his own standards, even if Jiang Mingchen returns to the night, whether he can catch the ten moves of a master is unknown. And the bottom line that Duan Zhongxin said to Jiang Mingchen at the bottom: survive. Whether this most basic requirement can be achieved or not has become an unknown.

Duan Zhong was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Your master can teach so many good apprentices, which is much more powerful than my master." ”

Chen Shuai shook his head and said with a smile: "My master often says, apprentice, only one good one is enough." And my master often says that your master has accepted a good apprentice. ”

Duan Zhong smiled bitterly, but did not argue. I am smart enough and talented enough, but not diligent enough, which is my weakness. Therefore, after five or six years of teaching, the progress of martial arts is extremely slow. In the face of Chen Shuai's praise, he could only sigh helplessly. smiled: "Since you have already done it outside the city, why don't you do it?" ”

Chen Shuai put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "My master said that you are a good child, if you can not kill, it is better not to kill." Besides, your master's face always has to be sold, and my master doesn't want an old monster to go crazy every day under the mountain gate. Besides, I'm not sure I'll kill you. He stood up and said, "It's very interesting to talk to you, I hope I will have a chance in the future!" ”

With that, he jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night. Duan Chongyi sat on the stool, a little flustered. It was doomed to another sleepless night.
