At the end of the seventh year of Tianbao, Su Shisanniang followed the caravan and arrived in Tingzhou City.

After seeing the shopkeeper Liu of Tingzhou Ruyiju, Su Sanniang showed Wang Yuanbao's token and handwritten letter. Shopkeeper Liu immediately followed Wang Yuanbao's instructions and handed over all the warriors recruited by Ruyiju in Tingzhou to Su Sanniang, and she took charge of the guards of Ruyiju.

In order to find out all the changes that may be unfavorable to Ruyiju, Su Sanniang according to the experience she learned in the school, with the support of Ruyiju's financial resources, with personal force, and grace and power, collected many rangers, beggars, and thieves in Tingzhou City, and integrated these "strange people" to create a unique intelligence system.

While defending Ruyiju, Su Sanniang did not forget her master's entrustment. After the curfew at night, she went to Wenxitang many times, but did not find anyone named Pei Zhong.

She also tried to go to the official office of the Beiting Jiedu envoy to investigate, but the Beiting soldiers and horses were heavily protected, and it was easy to approach and difficult to infiltrate.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first month of Tianbao's eighth year, and Ruyi lived under the guard of Su Sanniang, and he has been safe and sound. It's just that the public competition between Ruyiju and Wenxitang is getting hotter and hotter.

In order to overwhelm Ruyiju on the New Year's Eve, Wenxitang began to build a giant light wheel early.

When the shopkeeper Liu of Ruyiju was at a loss in the face of the light wheel, Su Sanniang remembered the bamboo house she saw when she traveled to Yizhou and Jiannan, so she proposed to use bamboo to build a frame, and then use half a day or so to assemble it, so that you can build a light tower comparable to the light wheel.

Sure enough, on the morning of the 14th of January, the lamp tower rising from the sky of Ruyi Ju was a blockbuster, and the limelight really overshadowed the light wheel of Wenxi Hall.

On the 15th day of the first month, the night of the Shangyuan Festival. Hundreds of Hu Niang and musicians, who were pressed down, sang and danced in the light wheel, and seemed to have won a game.

In the face of such a grand scene that was carefully prepared, Shopkeeper Liu's previous arrangement could not compete with it at all.

Thirteen Niang couldn't sit still. She remembered what her master said, "The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring", and after discussing with Shopkeeper Liu, she appeared in person. A song of Qingxiao pressed the silk bamboo, and a dragon spring won a hundred dances, which directly crushed the limelight of Wenxitang.

Although Su Sanniang was on guard, she still didn't expect that Wen Xitang would dare to directly set fire to the lamp tower on Yuan Xi when the north wind was roaring. Not only was the lantern tower completely destroyed, but also many innocent people in Tingzhou.

The jealous and hateful Su Sanniang was furious, first beheaded the four bandits who set fire to it, and then began to search for the mastermind behind the scenes in Wenxi Hall.

After careful investigation, all the clues pointed to one person, that is, Wang Peizhong, the housekeeper of Wang Zhengjian, the envoy of the Beiting Festival.

Aunt Gongsun didn't fight Pei Zhong directly back then, so Su Sanniang didn't know Pei Zhong's appearance, but her intuition told her that there seemed to be a connection between this Wang Peizhong and Pei Zhong.

Su Sanniang focused the investigation on Wang Peizhong, and explained that Ruyiju used all kinds of forces and manpower to follow him non-stop.

Although the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate Compound is well protected, this Wang Peizhong is obviously very busy and is often not in the house.

In the early morning of the sixteenth day of the first month, Su Sanniang got a tip-off that Wang Peizhong used Wenxitang as a cover many times to secretly go out of the city and go to a manor in the west of the city, as if he was planning some conspiracy.

Before Su Sanniang could figure out what the specific conspiracy was, the tragedy of Wen Xitang Zhou's family being wiped out occurred on the same day.

After learning the news, Su Sanniang hurriedly lurked near the shopkeeper Zhou's house to investigate.

When she saw the four Juanxiu blood characters of "Walking for the Sky" and the thin and deep fatal wounds on the corpse, Su Shisanniang immediately understood the viciousness of the opponent.

Although the opponent didn't know his identity, he must have found out that there was a female swordsman in Ruyi's center through various clues, so he did not hesitate to kill Zhou's shopkeeper Manmen, trying to frame Ruyiju.

The viciousness of the opponent's mind and the violence of the attack made Su Sanniang deeply shocked. At that moment, she finally understood what kind of gangsters Master was dealing with back then, and what kind of opponent she was going to face at this time!

"Such a vicious gangster, if heaven does not punish him, he must be left to me to do the right thing for heaven!" Looking at the four blood words "for the heavens", Su Sanniang thought coldly, the killing intent in her heart had been condensed like ice for ten thousand years, and the dragon spring in her palm was already angry and ready to move.

Near the shopkeeper Zhou's house, Su Sanniang also unexpectedly saw the little lady she met in the fire.

Although she didn't know the identity of the little lady's family background at that time, judging from the little lady's clothes and bearing, she should be a lady.

Su Sanniang is different from others, she has no special feelings for the little lady's beautiful sister, but she likes this little lady curled up in her sister's shadow at a glance.

The little lady's sister does have a lively energy to attract people's affection, but she is too spoiled and has no sense of crisis and unyielding will, so she will definitely not be able to become a swordsman who eliminates the injustices in the world and walks the world alone.

On the contrary, it was this little lady with a gloomy face, whose eyes were burning with unwilling and unyielding flames, which made Su Sanniang like a treasure.

Su Sanniang has been studying art under Gongsun Auntie for more than ten years, and has already learned the skills of the master, and is recognized as the person with the highest swordsmanship among the thirteen disciples. Therefore, she has the qualifications to accept apprentices, but she has not found a suitable jade for carving, so she has not accepted apprentices to pass on her art.

Unexpectedly, during this trip to Tingzhou, she came across a well-qualified manufacturable material, which made Su Sanniang overjoyed.

In addition to the little lady, that strange little Langjun also made Su Sanniang particularly interested.

Xiao Langjun looks a little smaller than the little lady, but his eyes are calm and decisive, and he is much more mature than the little lady.

What's even more rare is that Xiao Langjun has the compassion of benevolence and the wisdom of adaptation, at the moment when the wreckage of the lamp tower collapsed, he did not hesitate to cover the little lady with his body, and would rather be injured himself than protect others, which can be described as benevolent! In the midst of all the thrills, it is still wise to calmly think of using the pull of the mount to escape the danger!

Such a mature, steady, benevolent and witty little Langjun can be said to be the dragon and phoenix among people, and the material is better, perhaps better than the little lady.

But when facing the little lady and Xiao Langjun in the fire, Su Sanniang thought about it and decided to only give the little lady the opportunity to worship herself as a teacher.

It's not that Xiao Langjun is not good enough, but because the swordsmanship that Su Sanniang learned is not suitable for Xiao Langjun.

Aunt Gongsun once studied under Pei Min, the sword saint of Kaiyuan, but she transformed Pei Min's battle formation skills into a sword dance that is more suitable for women's physique and also swords and dances.

This means that this sword technique is more suitable for women to practice. The thirteen disciples under Gongsun Auntie's disciple are all female swordsmen, so Su Sanniang doesn't know how to teach a male disciple, unless she can go up to the source and retrieve Pei Min's swordsmanship from the master's sword dance, but Su Sanniang thinks that she doesn't have such skills.

At the same time, more importantly, Su Sanniang felt that there were too many things hidden in Xiao Langjun's eyes, as deep as the stars and as vast as the sea, not at all like a teenager, which made her informed. In the face of the unpredictable, Su Sanniang was very cautious and did not want to be easily implicated in any cause and effect.

In fact, there is a reason why Su Sanniang herself is unwilling to admit it, that is, what makes her puzzled and angry is that although that Xiao Langjun is obviously precocious, he has many advantages. But in some aspects, he has a very bad taste and is unbearable, and he is like an ordinary gentleman, obsessed with the bright and beautiful sister of the little lady, which is really unacceptable.

Since Su Sanniang left her hometown, she has traveled around for many years, met many people, and experienced some love waves. Although she is still single, she will never wronged herself and commit herself to those shallow-eyed gentlemen. And in Chang'an City, there are indeed many children of officials and eunuchs who fight their own ideas and use various contrived means to get close to themselves. Therefore, Su Sanniang has never had a good impression of shallow and lustful people.

When she saw the little lady again near the shopkeeper of Wenxitang Zhou, Su Sanniang had already figured out the identity of the little lady, knew that she was the second daughter of Ash Nayang, the deputy protector of the North Court, and also knew that Xiao Langjun was the youngest son of the King of the North Courtyard.

After learning the identity of Ashina Wenxia, Su Sanniang was a little faintly worried, she was not sure whether it was necessary to learn swordsmanship with Ashina Wenxia's status.

Su Sanniang later learned that the reason why her parents were willing to let her worship Gongsun Auntie as a teacher was because the family was poor, and it was rare for a noble person to favor her daughter and change her fate; On the other hand, it is also because Aunt Gongsun gave them a large sum of money.

Ashina Wenxia, as the little lady of the official eunuch and the powerful family, is not the same as herself back then. Su Sanniang really couldn't imagine any means to impress Ashina Wenxia or her father Ashina Protector.

Su Sanniang didn't have much time to think about this problem, and early in the morning of the seventeenth day of the first month, she got a tip-off that the Beiting Protector Fa Cao had sent people to join the army, and they were coming towards Ruyiju with great momentum.

Su Sanniang knew that whether she was deceived or deliberately done, Fa Cao's goal in joining the army was obviously herself.

The reason is very simple, Wen Xitang and Ruyiju have been fighting for each other recently, and they have become fire and water, and finally caused the fire in the Yuanxi Lantern Tower, with countless casualties. Fa Cao will definitely soon find out that someone deliberately set the fire and caused the disaster.

Before the fire was over, there was a tragedy in which the whole family of the shopkeeper of Wenxitang Zhou was wiped out in an instant. You only need to use your brain slightly, and you can know about the destruction of the door, and Ruyiju is the most suspicious of retaliation and counterattack.

And as long as Fa Cao joins the army and pays a little attention, he will find that the fatal wound on the body of the shopkeeper Zhou is similar to the sword wound he left on the four arson bandits; There are also four blood characters at the scene, which are obviously written by the woman.

The opponent tried his best to weave a chain of evidence that he killed the entire family of the shopkeeper Zhou in revenge.

Therefore, after Su Sanniang got the information, she immediately decided to lead the warriors of Ruyiju to leave Nanshi and avoid the limelight for the time being.

After leaving Nanshi, Su Sanniang had not yet decided where to hide. At this time, she received another tip-off, saying that Wang Peizhong quietly left the inner city and went to the west of the city at the west gate of Tingzhou.

Although Su Sanniang didn't know what Wang Peizhong wanted, she knew that following him would definitely make some gains.

When he came to the polo field near the Saidai Temple, Wang Peizhong disappeared into the woods.

Looking at the three gorgeously dressed young magnates on the court surrounded by everyone, Su Sanniang was puzzled and didn't understand the significance of Wang Peizhong's ambush here.

As she was at a loss, a group of familiar figures appeared on the eastern horizon.

Although Su Sanniang couldn't be completely sure of Wang Peizhong's conspiracy, she guessed that he was eight times out of ten. Nine is to be unfavorable to Xiaolang Junjun. The grievances of the wealthy are deep, and Su Sanniang has seen too much when she was in Chang'an.

Even if she didn't know Wang Fei, Ashina Wenxia and others, Su Sanniang would never sit back and watch the gangsters kill innocents indiscriminately. What's more, he is still ready to accept Ashina Wenxia as the great disciple of the mountain!

So, Su Sanniang quietly turned back to Tingzhou City, came to the official office of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and threw the news to the black-faced warrior who was in charge of guarding Wang Fei before, and wrote: "There is a difference in the polo field in the west of the city, Xiao Langjun is dangerous!" ”

After passing on the news, Su Sanniang hurriedly returned to the main hall of the Xida Temple to monitor the wind and grass near the polo field.

Dozens of warriors in Ruyiju also followed her instructions, abandoned their horses on foot, and quietly moved closer to the woods, preparing to give Wang Peizhong a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches.

Wang Peizhong, as the housekeeper of Wang Zhengjian, the capital of Beiting, has a special identity. Su Sanniang must not kill him at will without any evidence.

Killing people at will without asking questions is definitely not Su Sanniang's style. In the fire, Su Sanniang directly killed the four gangsters because she caught them, seeing is believing, and the evidence is conclusive.

On the polo field, the fierce competition continued, and the little lady and the little Langjun were still galloping, swinging and critting.

Su Sanniang was a little far away, but she could still see that Ashina Wenxia's style of play was virtual and unpredictable.

"It is worthy of being a disciple in my picture, and if you practice diligently, you will definitely be a terrifying swordsman!" The more Su Sanniang looked at it, the happier she became.

Wang Fei's solid riding skills, good eyesight and accurate shooting also surprised Su Sanniang. She could see that behind this little Langjun, there was the guidance of a famous teacher.

"What Xiao Langjun has practiced is the art of riding and fighting! It seems that his ambition, or the arrangement of his elders, is to make him a general who commands thousands of armies! Su Sanniang thoughtfully: "It seems that Xiao Langjun has indeed lost my sword skills." My master's strength lies in personal combat and assassination, which is the way of rangers and assassins, and it is not in line with the way that Xiao Langjun is going to take! ”

In addition, what surprised Su Sanniang very much was that Ashina Wenxia's sister, the little lady who looked like she had no appearance, played polo with a sassy and heroic posture, which made her a little warm. At that moment, she felt that she understood why Wang Fei was so obsessed with Ashina Xiaoyun.

"Xiao Langjun's taste is not as bad as I imagined!" Su Sanniang changed her opinion of Xiao Langjun a little.

Su Sanniang didn't know why Wang Peizhong didn't move, but she had already made up her mind to make a preemptive attack, and she would never startle the snake before the opponent made a move.

But as long as Wang Peizhong makes a move, Su Sanniang has already made up her mind to kill this villain here, so that he can understand what heavenly reincarnation and retribution are unhappy!
