Xianyang City at night is silent, the kind that is quiet, and there is no sound around, even if there is, it is just the cool breeze passing through the hall and the birds that are startled by something in the distance.

At this time, there are very few people who do not sleep.

Awake, or the night thief who flies the eaves and walks the wall, or the wanderer who looks nostalgic for the moon, no matter what, there is still one or two people who can't sleep.

For example, Gu Nan is becoming more and more difficult to have a good sleep at night.

It was already late at night, but she was still sitting on the branch of the old tree in her courtyard, leaning on the trunk of the tree, looking at the night view of the salty sun.

The night was very dark, and if it weren't for the stars and moons, I guess I wouldn't be able to see anything clearly.

At night, a cluster of flat houses surrounded the majestic palace.

Gu Nan stared at the palace silently, holding Wuge obliquely in his arms.

Brother Hei stood under the tree, looked up at Gu Nan who was sitting on the tree, shook his neck in confusion, and lowered his head.

There are fewer people in the family, and it is too lonely for Brother Hei to be placed in the stable, so Gu Nan also took it to his small courtyard, and eats and lives here on weekdays.

Gu Nan's eyes moved away from the palace, looking at the moon above his head, closing his eyes, enjoying this peace.

Wei Zhuang held the wooden sword and stood in the courtyard between him and Gai Nie, he didn't practice the sword, he just held the sword, thinking about something.

He had a vague feeling about epee, but it was always unclear.

Gai Nie walked out of another house and was a little surprised to see Wei Zhuang in the small courtyard.

"Xiaozhuang, don't you rest yet?"

Wei Zhuang opened his eyes and saw Gai Nie, his eyes were flat.

"Senior brother, senior sister is not here, you don't have to be coy, I don't have to rest, what does it have to do with you."

If the relationship between the two is said to be the same brother, it is actually more like an enemy.

And because of the rules of the Ghost Valley, from the very beginning, they could only be enemies waiting to take each other's lives.

What care is needed for the enemy?

Gai Nie listened to Wei Zhuang's words and fell silent.

Wei Zhuang closed his eyes again, feeling the feeling of nothingness.

Gagnie sat down on the side.

Suddenly said: "Are you comprehending the heavy sword?" ”

Wei Zhuang snorted coldly: "Knowingly asked." ”

Gai Nie nodded: "I practiced swords in Tan Zhong today, and I learned a lot, but there was a particularly profound time, when the internal force was exhausted and exhausted, the sword in his hand seemed to be surprisingly heavy, but in the same way, I inexplicably felt a little bit of rule." I wanted to catch it again, but it was gone. ”

Stood up: "You and I will try again tomorrow." ”

With that, he turned and left.

His words were to tell Wei Zhuang everything he felt.

Wei Zhuang was slightly stunned in his heart, when he practiced sword today, there was indeed a moment when he seemed to touch something, but soon that feeling disappeared.

After being reminded by Gai Nie, I thought that it was the moment when the internal force was exhausted.

"Hey."

Gai Nie was stopped by Wei Zhuang.

"Why?"

Wei Zhuang frowned and looked at Gai Nie: "Why did you tell me?" ”

If Gai Nie didn't say it, Wei Zhuang would probably fall behind Gai Nie.

But Gagnie said it anyway.

"Hmm." Gai Nie turned his head and looked at Wei Zhuang: "I didn't expect that when the duel was dueling, you were too weak. ”

Wei Zhuang looked at Gai Nie in a daze, half loudly, and seemed to laugh.

"Do you remember what you promised your senior sister this evening?"

"Dig up the wood?" Gai Nie also curled his mouth, this senior sister always does something strange.

But there is also something interesting.

"I don't want to break my word, after the duel, whoever lives will come back."

"Senior sister asked."

Then he said, "The other man doesn't want to come."

······

Gai Nie pondered for a moment and replied, "It's okay..."

He turned around and went back to his room.

Wei Zhuang watched Gai Nie leave, holding the wooden sword, and closed his eyes again.

——————————————————

For nearly a year after that, Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie both followed Gu Nan to learn swords, except for Gu Nan's weekly time in the army to rectify military affairs, both of them followed around, and asked Gu Nan for advice when they encountered problems.

This really made Gu Nan a little distressed, the children's questions were originally strange, and the questions asked by these two people were even more inhuman.

The quotations of the ancient sages at every turn make Gu Nan, who has a low level of education, not at all rhythmic. There's no way, she's a soldier, but she really doesn't know anything about it, or the set of the Zongheng family.

Life seems to be back on track, going to the army for training every morning, coming back at noon, taking two children to practice swords in the afternoon, eating at night, listening to the painting fairy playing tunes, or playing tricks on Xiaolu. It's calm and quiet, but it's also warm.

Occasionally, I see that the two of them are really bored, take them to the street, and watch the two boys Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang noisy, but they are also happy.

As for the army, there are results, the physical training of later generations seems to be of good help to the cultivation of internal breath, and the three hundred sergeants have already had some internal strength, just a few points, but their endurance, strength, and speed have surpassed ordinary people.

Only wait for the last assessment, and they can really be awarded the name of the army.

I heard that King Qin has often been angry in the hall these days, and he often said that it was like accompanying the king like a tiger, but it was not wrong.

After only three months of recuperation, the Qin army raised troops here, and the army led by the general Zhao Tu attacked Korea.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Gu Nan.

At the end of the year, Guiguzi picked up Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie, these two children seemed a little reluctant, after all, they were still children.

The wooden swords that Gu Nan gave them, they still carried them on their waists, and they were scolded by Guiguzi for being shoddy.

The progress of their swordsmanship is gratifying, and they have already comprehended half of the heavy sword, which makes Guiguzi very surprised, in his mind, it would have been good to be able to comprehend.

Hearing what the two children said to him, lifting weights as lightly as light, lifting lightly as heavy, Guiguzi laughed and scolded Gu Nan This is too lazy to say, but it boils down to incisiveness.

On the day Guiguzi and they left, Gu Nan went out of the city to see them off.

Still wearing that mourning dress.

The white robe was a little oversized.

It's helpless, in addition to wearing this dress, her filial piety is really not good enough.

"You girl, you come out to see off guests, what kind of clothes are you wearing, and you don't know how to change your set." Guiguzi said Gu Nan, but there was a smile in his eyes.

"It's still the filial piety period of the family teacher and the master's mother, what clothes can I wear?" Gu Nan led Brother Hei, one person and one horse, one black and one white, but it was conspicuous.

"That's fine." Guiguzi touched his beard and stopped: "Just send it here." ”

Without those lingering reservations and excuses, Gu Nan simply arched his hand.

"Take care of yourself, don't die early, Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Nie are in trouble with me."

Guiguzi was not angry, and waved his hand casually: "My body is very tough, I don't need you to worry." ”

"Gone."

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie saluted Gu Nan: "Senior sister farewell." ”

"Hehe, okay, let's go."
