"Senior brother, do you say that what the governor said is true?" Sikong Xi turned over and couldn't sleep.

It was already dawn, Sikong Xi tossed and turned, and sat up suddenly, but no one responded to him. He turned his head to look at the ancient key beside him, and faintly heard the thin snoring of the ancient key covering his head in the quilt intermittently, and the ancient key was still asleep, so he gave up.

The dazzling sunlight shone directly into the house, and Sikong Xi suddenly remembered something, got up and put on his clothes, and pushed open the door. A gust of cold wind poured into his neck, and he shivered and slowly closed the door. Outside the courtyard, the knife rack was covered with snow, and he reached out to remove the layer on it, and raised his hand to remove the sword, the biting cold sticking to his hands and making him shiver slightly.

He thought of Cheng Bi's seemingly heartfelt advice yesterday, things are definitely not that simple. Will Cheng Bi really do this kind of loss-making business that wanders on the line of life and death? But he did kneel in front of Lu Yu and took the initiative to ask for help, and followed Yi Yu to Liexun. And Lu Biao also agreed to his request. Perhaps, it was just his courage and determination to make meritorious contributions?

That's impossible.

The blade of the knife vibrated slightly, the snow on it quickly fell off, Sikong Xi arrow stepped forward, and the three types of the horizontal knife were used at the same time, and the straight stab, horizontal slash, and shun chop were completed in an instant, and a complete turn of the knife was used, the knife was majestic, and even the wind was intercepted in mid-air. But at this moment, a murderous aura suddenly emerged behind him, Sikong Xi was stunned for a moment, and then drew his knife and slashed sideways. There was a roar of metal clashing, and he quickly withdrew his knife and stood still, seeing the comer. It's the Ancient Key.

"What? Stop and do something, come on! Gu Key yawned slowly.

Sikong Xi condensed again and swung his sword to meet him.

"Breaking the dust!"

The Ancient Key held the long knife in one hand. There was a humming sound, and the knife rushed forward in vain, and the cold environment didn't seem to slow him down the use of the knife.

The two knives intersected, stirring up a burst of sparks.

"Look, here's the next move!" Gu Jian broke off, and the long knife in his hand suddenly exerted force, and retreated to the rear.

Of course, Sikong Xi refused to let go of this gap, and his hand once again gushed with strength, and he used the most effective and simple move, stabbing directly. But the ancient key did not stop, the long knife seemed to be integrated with him, and it vibrated with the swing of his body, and the monstrous wave of knives swept in an instant, Sikong Xi was stunned, and hurriedly closed the knife and turned the stab into a horizontal knife frame.

"Boom!"

The big frightening knife momentum almost shattered Sikong Xi's phalanges. He gritted his teeth and used all the strength of his body to block the knife, and even then the knife in his hand almost fell off the ground. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the knife in front of him was in vain, and even greater power erupted again. Sikong Xi fell to the ground and looked at the knife in a daze.

"Second luck, the power that can be reached, that's it." The ancient key carried the knife on his back.

"Secondary ...... Luck? ”

Gu Jian avoided talking about this, and he unfolded his posture again, "Get up, let you see the essence of this trick again!" ”

Sikong Xi carried the knife in his left hand, and his right hand, which was still numb, was no longer able to exert his strength.

A few pieces of snow accumulated on the sparse Qingye trees fell, Sikong Xi subconsciously raised his eyes, and when he looked ahead again, the ancient key had already raised his knife to attack, and the momentum was like a raging fire.

Sikong Xi was frightened and blocked forward, this time the attack of the ancient key was very strong, but the strength was unusually small, Sikong Xi saw the flaw clearly, and violently opened the attack of the ancient key, and the knife was slashed.

But at this time, Gu Key suddenly smiled, he swung the long knife in the air, the strength suddenly increased, once or twice the luck seemed to come naturally, the attack trajectory changed from an instant slash to a flat swing, and a huge arc seemed to appear around him, like a fierce slash that cut off life, as fast as a spinning heel!

The two knives collided violently together, and the war knife in Sikong Xi's hand instantly shattered. His eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what was happening.

Gu Key quickly regained his strength and inserted the long knife into the knife holder, "This move is called Reverse Current, and there are four major styles in total. ”

"The orthodox use of secondary luck." He said, "When you don't hit the enemy, the move of luck again in the middle is to go against the current." This move to crush any enemy is an ancient sword technique recorded by the Governor according to the ancient records, but although the fourth form exists, no one can practice it. ”

Sikong Xi slowly stood up and put away the broken knife, "This war knife has been broken, and the governor has to lose his temper again." ”

"It's okay, hide secretly, the governor can't punish us for this kind of thing! Not to mention that we're leaving soon. The ancient key snatched the broken knife, and the thief looked for a place to hide.

But at this time, someone from outside the courtyard suddenly walked in, and when he saw the two people jumping around, he was stunned at first, "I'm still afraid that you will be afraid and don't want to go with me, but now it seems that there is no need to worry." ”

The two turned around in horror, and when they saw that it was Yi Yu, the director of the Yu Division, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yi, don't tell Du Du about the broken knife!" Sikong Xi stepped forward with an arrow step, crying with a sad face.

"Broken knives? What broken knives? Yi Yu was stunned, his eyebrows looked at the two halves of iron in Gu Key's hand, and he smiled slowly, "I didn't know about it originally, but now that you say that, I have one more handle for you." ”

Gu Jian slapped Sikong Xi on the head and laughed with him, "Director Yi, don't care, this kid is a dead child with no face and no skin, don't take his words seriously!" ”

"You got this broken knife?" Yi Yu pointed to the broken knife.

"Accidentally...... It broke. "The ancient key told the truth.

"Gu Key, you're really awesome if you're not careful!" Yi Yu took the broken knife and carefully observed the section above, "The wide-backed war knife can be cut, it seems that your knife skills have improved!" Moreover, this obvious cross-sectional pattern is like the result of secondary luck, which is a breaking edge against the current? ”

Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Director Yi also knows about this counter-current style?" ”

"Nonsense," Yi Yu scolded with a smile and handed the broken knife to the ancient key, "Du Du Ke is also my teacher!" ”

"That's right." Gu Jian bowed his head in disagreement.

"Okay, you two, the time is almost up, go to the main hall first to listen to the governor's orders, and then make plans for the future." Yi Yu pulled the two of them and wanted to go out of the courtyard.

"So fast?" Sikong Xi whispered.

"I don't know what is urgent, beg for a fight!" The ancient key slapped Sikong Xi's head lightly and heavily.

"It's late, and it's good. I think when I went to Biansai to spy on intelligence, I would go to the target when the order was given, and I would not leave a little time to make any other preparations. Yi Yu heard the muttering of the two and looked ahead, "The Governor is afraid that you will not be familiar with the first time you go out of the city to summon the news, so I specially gave you a relaxation for so long!" ”

"I suddenly don't want to go...... Sikong Xi whispered again.

Gu Key grinned and slammed him on his back, "This is not up to you!" ”

In the laughter of the two and the wailing of Sikong Xi, the three of them walked in the direction of the main hall. When passing by the school field, they still saw those young soldiers who were practicing military drills, and Lu Yi stood on the point general platform with a solemn gaze, like a young general who had achieved fame.

In the main hall, Lu Biao sat upright on the main seat, and on the second seat next to him sat Sikong Yue and Lu Rouer in turn. A few low-eyed maidservants kept tending to their work, adding warm tea to each person's teacup. They all got up early and waited here, and even more so, Lu Biao was sleepless all night. Lu Rou'er's little face still had a sparse sleepiness, but she also tried her best to keep sitting upright, and there was a faint throbbing in her heart.

This arraignment in Liesun City is no small matter. First, the two handover acropolises can form a solid line of defense, and even if the Wushu City falls, then the Liesun City, which still has a backhand, can still resist Guangcai, so as to keep the junction between the north and the south. Second, if you don't inform Lord Lie Xun in advance, it is inevitable that the guy with the backbone will have different intentions.

Yi Yu was the first to climb the threshold, and Lu Biao in the main hall greeted him in person as soon as he saw the comer. A few little maidservants hurriedly flashed and walked out of the side door, so as not to affect the secret letter of the head of the house.

"Yi Yu, the journey to Liexun this time is not very difficult, but the five of them are all juniors, so everything must be cautious!" Lu Biao looked behind Yi Yu, but only saw the two of them, "What about the three unconscious boys?" ”

"How can a well-pampered gentleman get up so early?" Sikong Xi smiled secretly and scolded in a low voice.

"Be quiet!" Gu Key kicked him.

Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, "Why don't I go and call them out?" I went to the courtyard of these two boys before, and after taking them out, I forgot about the three of them. ”

"Alas...... No need, I'll go and ask someone to call them out. Lu Yu took a deep breath, "Yi Yu, you have to pay attention to everything, and don't make mistakes!" ”

"Yi Yu understands!" Yi Yu rushed to his knees on the ground, and the two Gu Keys behind him also knelt down.

Lu Rou'er sat in her seat, lowered her eyes, her green and jade fingers stirred together, and wanted to listen to Sikong Xi's voice carefully, but he didn't hear anything clearly, just glimpsed Sikong Xi's figure kneeling on the ground through the afterglow of his eyes. She wanted to say a few words to him, even if it was just one sentence. But she hasn't had much contact with men since she was a child, and even when she looks at Sikong Xi, she is dodgy, and she is shy and doesn't know how to deal with it, let alone ordinary conversations.

She kept thinking back to the sudden touch between the two that day...... and the feelings that slowly brewed.

After appreciating the snow, she looked at his face from afar, shyly didn't know what to say, and happily opened her heart to play with Leshang, which seemed to be counted. And now he is leaving, and the time of his return seems to be unknown. It was too sudden, too fast, and she hadn't really been able to really say even a few words of real greetings to Sikong Xi, and Sikong Xi was about to leave Wushu City. Why is he leaving today? You can't ...... Can't you wait any longer? But there seems to be no way to do it, the war in the north can no longer be delayed, and this little selfishness of oneself may be misleading the country.

Don't talk to him anymore...... Maybe it's really too late.

"Si ......" Lu Rouer snorted, looking at the back that was getting farther and farther away, but she didn't say anything after all.

Sikong Yue beside her seemed to hear her voice, and stroked the ends of her hair lovingly, "Rou'er, what's wrong?" Is it tired? Alas, it's too early...... Your father, he got you up early. ”

Mrs. Sikong, who still looks beautiful and full of charm, may never have found out that her daughter has long passed the age of the beginning of love, and she quietly lives in the bottom of her heart a young man she likes, thinking about his every move stupidly every day.

No one cared about her, everyone just thought she was a shy little girl, a young lady who was not good at talking to people, and a girl who would only cry low in the boudoir alone when she was wronged.

"No, Rou'er...... I'm not sleepy. Lu Rouer lowered her head, and the corners of her eyes slowly glowed with a little crystal.
