Chang'an City, Estimation Lane.

The two sides of the alley are lined with cloth villages, the traffic is busy, people come and go, it is an alley that specializes in selling cloth in the city, the famous big cloth merchants of the Dazhong Dynasty have a branch here, operate all kinds of cloth satin, Shu brocade, cloud cotton and other precious fabrics have everything.

In the depths of the alley, there is a very inconspicuous Qingxiang cloth village, with a small plaque and a remote location, so that the compradors of the rich and noble families in the city have no interest in taking care of the business at all. It stands to reason that this Qingxiang cloth village has also been open in Chang'an City's Yiyi Lane for 70 years, and it has to be regarded as a time-honored brand in Chang'an City, but this is the largest city in the northwest of the empire with many giant merchants, and the business of the wealthy and noble is monopolized by several large cloth merchants all the year round, and it has always been tepid, and it has to maintain its own small business and barely survive.

The surname of the shopkeeper of Qingxiang Buzhuang is Liang, in his forties, with a sour and rotten face, he is very timid and afraid.

However, others don't know that the kind shopkeeper Liang is actually the highest-level head of Gou Chenzi, the spy agency directly under King Yan, in Chang'an City, who is in charge of the entire spy system in Chang'an City, and has the right to make decisions on the spot!

Since the founding of the Dazhong Dynasty, although the successive generations of Yan King did not have the heart of usurping the country, but the heart of guarding people is indispensable, as early as the reign of the first Yan King, in Qindi, Shuzhong, and even Tianjing City, have laid out a strict spy system.

This spy system is directly responsible for King Yanyi, except for a few important ministers around Lu Yuan, outsiders don't know at all. And the hooks in various places are also very deep, they don't need to report on weekdays, they don't know each other, and they only use tokens and passwords as evidence. Unless there is an urgent matter, it is strictly forbidden to contact privately to prevent identity from being revealed.

At this time, Qingxiang Buzhuang encountered a very urgent incident.

The protagonist of this incident is naturally Lu Rong.

After Lu Rong was seriously injured after the battle of Tupo, and Meng Da escaped, the entire Qinzhou was full of dangers for the three of them.

As early as when the two entered Qin, Wang Xuance informed Wu Bei of the token and password, asking him to use Gou Chenzi's energy to help Lu Rong return to Youzhou safely when necessary.

At this time, Lu Rong, Wu and Chen Ti lived in seclusion in the warehouse in the backyard of Qingxiang Buzhuang to recuperate and avoid the limelight temporarily.

Although Lu Rong was seriously injured, he recovered quickly, and the tonic medicine in the Liang shopkeeper Buzhuang was prepared, and Lu Rong gradually recovered after a few days of recuperation, but the internal injury caused by the palm on his chest still made Lu Rong a little sluggish and his breath was not smooth.

Chen Ti was amazed at Lu Rong's healing speed. After careful inquiry, he learned that the holding rules that Lu Rong had practiced since he was a child were full of deep meaning.

When Lu Rong was in poor health, the doctor said that he had a cold breath in his womb and needed to be carefully recuperated, so Uncle De taught him this set of holding rules boxing, and asked him to cooperate with the method of breathing and breathing, and play a set in the early morning every day.

When they fled before, the swordsmen Du Yu and Fan Jiang were also very interested in this punch, and Fan Jiang also said that this punch seemed to be deliberately hidden from the killing move. At that time, Lu Rong didn't know Uncle De's identity, and he didn't think much about it.

And Chen Ti is so well-informed, seeing that Lu Rong finished playing a set, he immediately pointed out the key.

"Your set of punches is not a fist at all, but a set of swordsmanship." After that, he took Tu Su, threw it to Lu Rong, and continued: "You change your fist to a sword, and try another set." ”

Lu Rong was also surprised when he heard this, so he hurriedly took the sword and danced again, and really felt that there was a big difference.

Chen Ti nodded and said: "Zhao Jingde is interesting, the sword technique is the fist method, saying that it is for you to strengthen your body, who knows if you have a careful idea of letting you inherit his martial arts." ”

Lu Rong was indifferent, and thought of the stout, dark-skinned, unsmiling Uncle De who poured everything he had into himself.

Wu Bei was curious on the side: "Then how can he be so ......" I don't know how to describe it halfway through, he originally wanted to say that he was so weak.

Chen Ti said with a smile when he heard this: "It's just a set of swordsmanship, no matter how clever it is, if you don't have the heart to figure it out, how can you become a dragon." ”

Lu Rong put away his thoughts, hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Chen, then how can I improve?" ”

Chen Ti snorted: "What? Do you want to practice swords? ”

Lu Rong was a little sad, and said slowly: "I just don't want Uncle De's swordsmanship to be lost." After a pause, Tu Su stood in front of his nose in his hand, stared intently, and continued: "Sooner or later, one day, I will use this sword, use this sword technique, and slash the enemy." ”

When Wu Bei heard this, he frowned and said nothing.

In terms of emotion, Wu Bei admired Zhao Jingde's courage to break into the mansion and assassinate Qin with a single sword, and he hated to be born a few years earlier to make friends with him. But considering from the direction of the Yan army, if Lu Rong inherits the throne with a bitter hatred for the King of Qin, and then the two sides meet each other, giving the barbarians an opportunity to take advantage of, the world will definitely be in chaos and the people will be in dire straits.

Wu Beihan was born, he has seen the hardships of the people in Youzhou, and he is inspired to protect the country and the people, and he is really conflicted at this time.

Chen Ti stared at Lu Rong for a long time, and said lightly: "Sword practitioners are the most jealous and impetuous, their eyes are above the top, you have no foundation, it would be good to be able to protect yourself in the future." Still want to slash your enemies? ”

Chen Ti's martial arts are superb, his eyesight is extraordinary, in fact, he has already seen that Lu Ronggen's bones are acceptable, coupled with his stubborn personality and refusal to admit defeat, his understanding is not bad. It's a pity that he is old and has long passed the best moment of sword practice. If you practice swords when you are young, you can sharpen them well, and you may be able to become a great weapon.

Lu Rong was a little frustrated, and said softly: "Uncle Chen still asks me." ”

Chen Ti blew his nose and said impatiently: "I'm too lazy to teach you, you first practice this set of swordsmanship, before you practiced boxing with heavy intention and light force, and you breathed for a long time, now you change your fist to a sword, and this set of punches must be re-adapted, and you can't fight at the previous speed." ”

Lu Rong nodded, and then sped up to play another set. After all, there is no foundation, and the fight is crooked, and the sword in his hand is unstable.

Chen Ti couldn't stand it anymore, so he shouted to stop and sneered: "Don't spoil this set of swordsmanship." As he spoke, he stepped forward, stretched out Lu Rong's sword arm, leaned forward slightly, separated his feet, and posed as a sword posture, and said in his mouth: "You hold the sword steady first, don't move like this, hold on for half an hour." ”

Lu Rong's face turned red, he was obedient and did not move, and he heard Chen Ti scolding: "Raise your head and look at the tip of the sword, it's really stupid." ”

Wu Bei smiled silently on the side, turned around and went out to discuss things with Shopkeeper Liang. When he came back almost an hour later, he found that Lu Rong was still holding his sword, his whole body was shaking, his clothes were wet, but the tip of his sword was motionless. And Chen Ti had already gone back to the house to rest.

Seeing Wu Bei looking at him dumbfounded, Lu Rong grinned and asked in a trembling voice, "Is half an hour up?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lu Rong's body went weak and collapsed to the ground.

Chen Ti saw it clearly in the room, although there was no reaction on his face, he was still very satisfied in his heart.

You must know that Lu Rong still has injuries on his body at this time, for ordinary people, holding a sword for an hour has already cramped, and Lu Rongchun can do this by hanging with a breath of unyielding.

"It's worthy of the Lu family's species, it's okay to be stubborn." The old fairy sighed secretly.

Since then, Lu Rong began to practice holding the sword every day, one hour in the morning, one hour in the afternoon, and later he had to counterweight the sword, and he insisted on it for more than ten days, with sore arms and weak waist. But it also worked, Lu Rong touched his shoulder blades, and he felt much harder than before. Go to fight the rules again, although it is still awkward, but the sword will not be crooked.

Wu Bei never revealed Lu Rong's identity to the shopkeeper Liang, and naturally Chen Ti's identity was also concealed, the shopkeeper Liang was really a veteran of espionage, and he didn't ask much, only claiming to be his creditor, and even later he rarely set foot in the backyard, and the food, food and clothing were sent by his own buddies. Even when he saw Lu Rong practicing his sword, he didn't care at all, he just couldn't see it.

Approaching the end of the year, there are more and more people on the street to buy New Year's goods, and the business of the cloth village is also slightly better, there are many people, Lu Rong and the others are more cautious, and they are not allowed to move around at will, fortunately, several of them have things to be busy, Lu Rong is busy practicing swords, Chen Ti is busy eating and drinking, and Wu Bei has been worried about the situation in Qinzhou.

There are a few men under the shopkeeper of Liang, one of whom is also a person who hooks Chen Zi, who is strong and powerful, and he is said to be a laborer in the cloth village, but in fact, he has martial arts, and often goes around to find some information, and finally reports to Wu's back.

To be precise, the spies of King Yan who hooked Chen Zi are all extraordinary, but they are not revealed on weekdays.

After a few days of inquiry, there was no useful news, that Meng Da had not appeared on the rivers and lakes since he had broken his arm and fled, and the Le Chi Sword Sect had not moved at all, as if Meng Gongxun had swallowed this dumb man alive.
