Xiao Zhengwen shook his head and replied, "Those people are all masked, and they have all kinds of weapons, and they all seem to be coming at us. The one who injured Xiaowen also covered his face, his martial arts were very powerful, and Brother Ji was injured, but he couldn't beat him. Saying that, he suddenly paused, as if he remembered something, "Those people don't seem to be heavy on Brother Ji, but come to Xiaowen..."

Lu Yujian frowned, thinking to himself that Xiao Zhengwen was such a small child, why would those people come at him and kill him so heavily? asked Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, where is your father?" Why haven't I seen it when I was in Majiagou? ”

Xiao Zhengwen said: "Xiaowen has no father or mother since he was a child, and since he was sensible, Xiaowen has been living in Majiagou, and I heard that Brother Ji took Xiaowen to Majiagou. ”

Lu Yu didn't expect that Xiaowen turned out to be an orphan, and it was actually brought to Majiagou by Ji Shaoyong. He asked again: "At that time, I heard Brother Zhang say that Brother Naji is from Haojing, and when did he live in Majiagou for a long time?" ”

Xiao Zhengwen said: "He and Xiaowen seem to have entered Majiagou at the same time. But he doesn't live in Majiagou for a long time, he has always been in contact with the outside. Why did the second brother suddenly ask about these old things? ”

Lu Yu smiled: "It's nothing. As your second brother, of course, you have to understand your background, maybe one day I will help you find your biological parents! ”

The little ghost cracked his mouth and smiled, and said: "Xiaowen has no father and mother since he was a child, the eldest brother and the second brother, Sister Ling and Brother Ji are all Xiaowen's relatives. ”

Lu Yu's heart warmed, he crossed over here by mistake, and a few of them were not his relatives. Assuming that what Xinlingjun said is true, Longyangjun secretly grabbed the child to refine the pill for the King of Wei, based on Xiao Zhengwen grew up in Majiagou since he was a child, and people from the outside world did not know him, then the person who attacked them in Xiangling may have been sent by Longyangjun to come specifically for the child. Since the alchemy effect of living people is the best, he had to heal Xiaowen's injuries and then take him to alchemy. And by mistake, he was actually saved by Xinlingjun's people, and Xiaowen had to live.

The strange thing is that Zhang Wu and what happened to them at that time? Why was it only him and Ling Fan when he arrived in Daliang, and why didn't he try to find the lost Xiao Zhengwen, Ji Shaoyong and Lu Yu when he left?

accompanied him in Xiao Zhengwen's room for one night, and as soon as it was dawn on the second day, Lu Yu got up to practice swords.

The "Seven Methods of Yin Fu" taught by Guiguzi, the mental method is the most profound for Lu Yu. Since practicing the heart method diligently, Lu Yu has only felt that the meridians around his body are unblocked, and his lung vitality is several times better than before, and his whole body seems to have inexhaustible strength; The senses are also much more sensitive, and sometimes you can hear different sounds from near and far in the downtown area. I've never been able to figure out why I can have this effect just by regulating my breathing. And the "Yin Fu Seven Swords" evolved from the mental method is even more mysterious, except for the last sword "Lingyong Sword" that failed to be integrated, the first six swords have been practiced quite well, but they lack actual combat experience.

Sometimes Lu Yu thinks it's ridiculous, why in his era, no matter the protagonists in costume dramas or movies, almost all have the same unchanging adventures, they are all after the catastrophe or the death of the world, either meet the world's masters, get some peerless martial arts secrets, and then win the first place in the world. He actually had the same plot that seemed to be arranged, first he was rescued by Zhang Wu in a catastrophe, and then Zhang Wu gave him the "Xuanyuan Zheng Qigong" to strengthen his body, and then he actually met the mythical Guiguzi, and he taught him more powerful mental techniques and swordsmanship.

Could it be that he wants to be like in the movie, famous for his "Yin Fu Seven Swords"?

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but secretly laugh at the absurdity of his thoughts, in this era of war, no matter how high a person's martial arts and swordsmanship is, he can't resist thousands of troops, and it only takes a small team of archers to shoot you into a hedgehog.

The Xinling Jun's mansion began to be lively, and Ximen Hou ran over and enthusiastically pulled Lu Yu to the street to eat noodle soup. After drinking hot soup in the cold winter weather, it is indeed comfortable, especially Lu Yu from the south, for the first time in his life, spent the winter in a snowy place, although he was wearing a thick coat, if he hadn't drunk hot soup to warm up, he really wanted to go back to Xinling Jun's mansion immediately. The crowds on Daliang Street, which is snowing lightly, are still very lively, and there are definitely no fewer businessmen doing all kinds of business than in the past. At the West Gate, they learned that due to the banquet in the palace tonight, a curfew would be imposed at dusk today, and they must enter the palace with Xinling Jun at the end of the day.

Suddenly, I heard someone in front of me calling "Lu Ye", the voice was so pleasant, who was that Yu'er?

I saw Yu'er dressed in a white fur, and the maidservant girl next to her was holding an umbrella for her, and she was walking out of a jewelry store.

Ximen Hou patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and said, "Little brother is really jealous of you, and you will bump into you for any good thing." ”

Lu Yu smiled back, walked up to Yu'er with Ximen Hou, and said: "I really don't know if it's a coincidence or fate, I can see Miss Yu'er for the first time and the second time I go to Zuilanfang, I didn't expect to meet you on the street early in the morning." ”

Yu'er chuckled and said, "Lu Ye is really good at making the slave family happy, I don't know how many women from good families Lu Ye has deceived with this mouth?" ”

Lu Yu laughed and said, "The girl has been wronged, and I have never used fake feelings to make people happy." ”

Yu'er glanced at Lu Yu faintly, and said coquettishly: "Originally, the slave family was preparing to send the maid Xiaolan to Xinling Junfu to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here, which saved the slave family a lot of time, so as not to attract criticism." ”

Lu Yu and Ximen Hou glanced at each other and said deliberately: "Attracting criticism? In that case, I should have waited for you at the Xinling Monarch's Mansion. With that, they both laughed out loud at the same time.

Yu'er glanced at him and said, "If it is spread out, it is said that the slave family took the initiative to find a man, how can they sit in the first red card position in Zuilanfang in the future?" He asked again, "I heard that there is a sword competition in front of the emperor tonight, and Daliang City has been rumored, and Jiaolongxia is ready to show his skills and win the throne of the first swordsman of Dawei, right?" ”

Ximen Hou pretended to be a little dissatisfied and interjected: "I also have a share, why is there only Jiaolongxia?" Besides, isn't even Long Yangjun, the first swordsman of Great Wei, as Jiaolongxia as fond of welcoming him? ”

Lu Yu knew that although he was joking, in fact, Ximen Hou was really jealous of himself, and hurriedly said: "Brother Ximen is smiling, the swordsmanship in the next place is only equal to you at most, Brother Ximen, people love freshness, not to mention that if 'Jiaolongxia' is not vigorously pursued by Brother Ximen, where will anyone recognize Daliang." ”

Yu'er laughed wildly, and for a while, Ximen Hou and Lu Yu were stunned. If she is dressed in a white fur, she is as proud and unattainable as an ice and snow beauty in this ice and snow, but when she laughs, she is like a fire in the cold winter, warming people's hearts, not only melting people, but even this ice and snow seems to be melted by her.

The maidservant Xiaolan saw that the two of them were almost drooling when they looked at Yu'er, and stomped their feet and said, "How can the two of you be so rude to my young lady." ”

Lu Yu and Ximen Hou realized that they had lost their temper when they heard this, and they hurriedly withdrew the eyes that stayed on Yu'er and moved away.

Yu'er took half a step forward and said to Lu Yu in a coquettish voice: "If Jiao Longxia wins the competition tonight, Yu'er will set up a banquet for Lu Ye in the private room on the second floor of Zuilanfang, waiting for Lu Ye to come to celebrate." ”

With that, he turned to leave with Xiaolan.

Lu Yu's heart fluttered, knowing that she should be signaling the secret passage in the private room, but she still couldn't help but feel a strange feeling, it seemed that Yu'er had some love for herself between men and women, but she couldn't be sure.

Ximen Hou shouted that it was unfair, in his opinion, since Lu Yu first saw Yu'er, she showed him a good impression, and returned to Zuilanfang after doing business outside yesterday and saw them meet privately in the private room, and now Yu'er openly asked Lu Yu to Zuilanfang to spend the night, and all the good things in the world were taken care of by Lu Yu alone, which made him not jealous.

Even so, Ximen Hou still said to Lu Yu: "Although that woman is beautiful, as long as she is a man in Daliang, she wants to move her to the couch." But because of her complex and powerful backstage, I have never heard of anyone so lucky, and I have never even seen her beauty, so Brother Lu still needs to be careful in everything. ”

Lu Yuxin said Of course you don't know that I have seen her beauty, but he deliberately said: "Because of this, it is very exciting." ”

Ximen Hou said again: "It is certainly a great joy in life to be able to spend the Spring Festival with beauties, but Brother Lu still needs to remember that the king is the master." ”

This proved that Ximen Hou had suspected that Yu'er's backstage was also planning to win over Lu Yu, so he had to remind him. After all, the reputation of "Jiaolongxia" is already strong, and if he can stand out in the sword competition tonight and be appreciated by King Wei, the future will be limitless. For Xinlingjun, if such a talent cannot be accepted for his own use, he must be removed, so as not to become a trouble in the future.

Lu Yu didn't know what he meant. If he doesn't say anything, he will definitely report to Shin Lingjun. Anyway, he still has to rely on Xinling Jun at present, so he laughed and said: "The king is so important to the younger brother, and Brother Ximen takes care of the younger brother like a brother, of course I, Lu Yu, will not be ungrateful." ”

The two were about to go back, when King Xinling sent someone to find them.

As soon as he returned to the house, he saw Xinlingjun angrily scolding a servant girl. Lu Yu and Ximen Hou walked over and found some fragments on the ground, presumably because the maidservant had accidentally broken something, and it should be a relatively valuable item, which made Xinlingjun lose his temper.

Lu Yu persuaded: "Don't be angry, things are broken, and sticking back is not the original state, just let the subordinates be careful in the future." ”

How do you know that Xin Lingjun turned his head and still looked angry, and said as soon as he spoke: "What are you?" Benjun scolds the slave, and he wants you to teach him? Then he was silent for a short while, probably feeling that his tone was too heavy, and said to Lu Yu: "Ben Jun was too angry for a while, Brother Lu don't blame Ben Jun for being a little heavier." ”

Lu Yu was kind enough to persuade him just now, but when he scolded him, his heart became nameless, and he swallowed this breath after hearing him say this. Then he asked, "What is it that was broken?" provoked such a big temper on the king. ”

Xinlingjun said: "South Korea's Zhang Xiangye gave Benjun four white jade bowls, and broke two for this cheap maid, and there is no heavy punishment It is already an amnesty, just a few words of scolding for Benjun, which is considered to be cultivated by this cheap maid for several lifetimes." As he spoke, he turned to the maidservant and scolded, "Do you know that people in the next world will not be able to afford these two bowls if they are cows and horses?" ”

Simon asked the maidservant, "What is your name?" ”

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise her head, and when she heard Ximen Hou ask, she didn't look up, but replied in a low voice: "The slave maid is called Xiaohuan." ”

Lu Yu hadn't heard her speak before, but when he heard her voice at this moment, his heart suddenly shook, and this voice seemed to have been heard somewhere.

Xin Lingjun snorted coldly, and said, "If it weren't for Brother Lu speaking for you, I wouldn't spare you today." Then he ordered the maidservant to clean up the debris on the ground, and called Lu and Ximen to the main hall.

Lu Yu looked back at the servant girl from time to time as he walked, and always felt that this person seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

In the main hall, Xinling Jun ordered his subordinates to hand over two sets of samurai uniforms, and said to Lu Yu and Ximen Hou: "One for each person, both of you represent Benjun tonight, and you can't let others compare anywhere." After a pause, he said, "Especially Long Yangjun's people." ”

The two thanked Xin Lingjun, the two sets of samurai uniforms are mainly red, Lu Yu's set is more than Ximen Hou's more Xuan pattern as decoration, and the clothes are made of high-quality fabrics, although Lu Yu is not expert in this material, but the samurai clothes are silky and smooth, and the workmanship is delicate, and modern craftsmanship is difficult to compare.

I only heard that Lingjun said to Lu Yu again: "If you play well in the first competition tonight, it will directly overshadow the light of Longyang Jun's 'First Swordsman of Great Wei', and as long as this Jun makes a statement to the king, everything will be realized according to our plan." ”

Lu Yu felt Ximen Hou's jealous eyes in the corner of his eyes. If it weren't for him, the princess of Wei would have been escorted along the way to Handan, and when he left Chen County, Lu Yu had already noticed the unusual relationship between Ximen and the princess, but now because of Lu Yu's appearance, he replaced everything that originally "belonged" to Ximen Hou with himself, everything was under Lu Yu, if he was replaced by himself, it would be strange not to be jealous. If it weren't for Xinling Jun, I'm afraid he would have already met Lu Yu.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu secretly screamed that it was not good. I didn't have any friends here, but now I'm making enemies everywhere. At present, it is because Xinlingjun is trying his best to win him over, Ximen Hou has no choice but to endure living under himself, once he publicly states that he will not serve Xinlingjun, then Ximen Hou will be able to justifiably become his enemy. And Jing Jie on Long Yangjun's side was already unfriendly to him, and he had to find a way to leave Xiao Zhengwen with him forever when he left Wei State, otherwise he could either give up Xiao Zhengwen, or he would not please both Xinlingjun and Longyangjun, which would be a very tricky matter.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time in the afternoon, Lu Yu took the time to continue to study the "Yin Fu Seven Swords", wanting to study a little more skills to make up for his shortcomings in swordsmanship, and make final preparations for tonight's competition. The Yanren Warrior would not be a strong opponent, and the only worry was that that day in the Drunken Orchid Fang, Long Yangjun forced Lu Yu to give up the killing move to kill Jing Jie with a sword, and was distracted to resist this sword. To what extent is Long Yangjun's swordsmanship? If he proposes to fight himself tonight, he will surely lose.

If he is unlucky, he wants to fight against Long Yangjun, and if he chooses to abandon his sword and admit defeat, 'Jiao Longxia' will definitely be removed from the world. It's not to fight, it's not to fight.

Suddenly, a thought came to mind, and there was already a countermeasure to deal with the battle.

This is the first royal palace that Lu Yu came to in this Warring States Period. The Wei State originally took Anyi as its capital, then moved to Huanshui, and finally moved to Daliang. Lu Yu and Ximen Hou sat in the same carriage and entered the palace with Xinlingjun. I didn't go through the window to appreciate the grandeur of the Daliang Palace, but on the way to stop and walk, there were heavy guards at every gate, even if it was Xinlingjun's convoy, it had to pass the inspection, which showed that it was heavily guarded.

However, it may also be because there is a banquet in the palace tonight, and there may not be such a dense guard in normal times.

Lu Yu's limited ability to distinguish ancient texts is a flaw here. When you enter the door, the beams and pillars on both sides are carved, and the animals can distinguish them, but they can't read any of the words. The three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han originated from the Jin Kingdom, and their language families and characters should be relatively close; The Wei character structure is slender, similar to the orthodox used by Zhou. Lu Yu wanted to ask Ximen Hou beside him, but he was afraid that he would make fun of him because he didn't even recognize the words, so he simply ignored the surrounding buildings, and the lively princes and nobles also dazzled him.

Of course, the big seat in the center of the north of the hall is the royal seat of the King of Wei, and there are more than 50 seats on both sides, and it is divided into two seats before and after, and each seat can sit two people, forming a double "same" character shape. The more seats in the front, the higher the status, such as Xinlingjun and Longyangjun, each occupying the first seat in the front seat on the left and right, and the back seat is the family and the samurai with status. The next step is lined up by the noble ministers and envoys of various countries in the royal family, even at the end of the table, although their identities are incomparable with the previous ones, they should all be figures with heads and faces in the Wei State. The spaciousness of the center of the main hall, like half a football field, provides enough space for tonight's sword competition.

Lu Yu was fortunate to sit behind Xinlingjun with Ximen Hou, and Xinlingjun sat with Zhu Hai. The guests entered the hall one after another, and sat down in their own banquets, and soon they were close to full.

Long Yangjun and the graceful princess Wei Mingji came to the scene, attracting the attention of all the guests, and many guests stood up to see. One is the male favorite of King Wei, with a "beauty" that eclipses the beauties of the palace; The other is the daughter of King Wei, bright and moving, gorgeous costumes with precious jewelry, and a jeweled body is the focus of the audience. The retinue of the two followed, and Jing Jie was among them. Long Yang and the princess sat at the same table. The princess's eyes swept over, looked at the Xinling Junxi, and found Lu Yu in the back seat, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

Lu Yu thought to herself that she should know that she had her own appearance at tonight's banquet, why did she still show such an "unexpected" action.

Just thinking about it, the princess of Wei had already gotten up to greet her, greeted Xinlingjun, and said a few polite words, and finally her beautiful eyes stayed on Lu Yu, and said coquettishly: "Farewell to Longpo, this palace has not personally thanked Lu Ye, meet again today, Lu Ye is angry, and it is better than the previous mile." ”

Lu Yu saw that a look of jealousy flashed in Ximen Hou's eyes, so he stood up and saluted the princess, coughed dryly and laughed: "Compared with Brother Ximen's credit, I have very little credit, and it is my duty to protect the princess, so why worry about it." ”

Ximen Hou hurriedly stood up and said: "Brother Lu said that he laughed, if there was no Brother Lu that day, how would the villain escort the princess to Xiangling safely?" ”

Xin Lingjun interjected: "Both of them have merit, there is no need to shirk here, having such talents as you two is really a blessing for my Great Wei." ”

A crisp brass bell rang, reminding everyone to take their seats. At this time, all the guests had arrived, and when they heard the bell, everyone sat down in their seats, and the original noise slowly turned into each other.

The bell rang again, and then two loud bells rang from both sides of the main hall, and Lu Yu noticed that there were a set of large and small chimes placed on each side of the middle of the main hall, and the number of each set was hundreds of dozens of pieces. Next to the chimes are two musicians, who are responsible for striking the music.

Everyone looked towards the door, and saw a group of more than a dozen people singing and playing with the music of the chimes in the hall, while walking neatly and lightly, divided into two teams from the door, until they walked to the chimes.

Lu Yu was extremely shocked in his heart, thinking that this was probably the style of the prince.

You don't have to guess to know that the next person to appear is King Wei, who walked into the main hall surrounded by concubines and dozens of close guards. Lu Yu knew that the monarch of Wei, King An Li, was the sixth monarch of Wei, but his life was extravagant, not only men and women ate it, but his relationship with Longyang Jun made him "famous in history", and the death of Xinling Jun was also related to King An's jealousy.

In the main hall, except for the sound of musical instruments, there was no sound of conversation, and everyone knelt on the ground one after another, waiting for King Wei to take his seat.

The guards were divided into three groups, one group followed the King of Wei to the chairman, and the other two groups were also scattered to stand guard behind the banquets on both sides of the main hall.

Stop.

The crowd shouted, "Blessed be the king!" ”

After King Wei sat down in the seat, his tone was flat but everyone could hear it: "All the ministers are seated. ”
