Early that morning, the soldiers rode their horses and prepared to go up to the city for a visit and inquire about the court. I thought that I had been in Wu for a while, and I saw that my jihua was about to be completed, but I didn't want the eldest son to kill him and snipe his revenge jihua, which is really hateful! Now I am bowing down to the countryside every day, with an empty stomach full of economy, but there is no place to use it, it is really a torment.

The early summer sun hangs overhead, the sky is clear, and the turquoise fields are refreshing. When the soldiers saw the beautiful scenery, they slowly enjoyed some scenery all the way to the capital Meili.

I had just arrived at a forest on the outskirts of the city when I heard a coquettish sound coming from the forest. I was also curious, so I grabbed the reins, and looked at it, there was a woman in red in the jungle who was practicing swords, every move and style was decent, and there were still some hills and ravines. I also saw a girl standing on the edge not far away, holding some clothes and coats, like a maid. Two horses were tied to the trunk of the tree, where they snorted.

The soldier slowly beat his horse over and wanted to see what was going on.

Seeing someone coming, the woman stopped, put away her sword, and looked at the visitor with a somewhat flustered look.

The soldier stepped forward and saluted the two, and said loudly: "I hope to bear with me if I disturb the young lady to practice swords!" Nowadays, it is very rare to have such a young lady who does not let her eyebrows go. I watched it for a while, and the young lady's sword dance was quite good, but no matter what weapon she used, it was all about qi. Miss's sword style still lacks some inner energy, and the strength is not enough. ”

"Dare to ask Mr. Daming?" The woman returned the salute, and when she saw that the person who came had a long beard and silver hair, a tall figure, and a majestic attitude, she asked.

"In the underclass, dare to ask the young lady's house?"

"It seems that Mr. must also be a master in the middle of the house, so he can have this insight." The girl in red turned to it.

"Let's know a little bit about it." The soldier said modestly.

"Since Mr. is a middle and high master, the little woman dares to ask Mr. for advice, can there be a way to give advice? I also used to worship my master, but my father now opposes me using guns and sticks, so he dismisses my teacher. I can only rely on some of my own understanding and practice some old moves, so I haven't made much progress. ”

When the soldiers saw that this woman was delicate, her face was like a peach blossom, and her personality was lively, he had some good feelings. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Five days later, or this hour, I will come to this forest again, I can teach you some swordsmanship, if you don't give up, five days later, zaijian!" After that, he was ready to get on the horse.

"Is what Mr. Wu said true? The little woman must listen to the words of respect, and the husband must be on time for the appointment, and must not forget. ”

The soldier nodded, and wanted to ride his horse to leave.

I didn't want the woman to see the long sword on the waist and hip of the soldier, so she said coquettishly: "Since Mr. is quite familiar with swordsmanship, the sword in his waist must be an unusual thing, how about asking Mr. to let the little woman open her eyes?" ”

Seeing that this woman had no malicious intent, the soldier untied the seven-star dragon yuan from his waist and handed it over with one hand.

The woman held it in both hands, looked at it carefully, and saw that the scabbard was beautifully patterned, which complemented the hilt of the sword. After she swiped it slightly, she slowly pulled the sword out of the scabbard, only to see a ball of brilliance blooming out like a hibiscus out of water, graceful and clear. The seven stars on the hilt of the sword shimmered with a deep light, and the cold blade of the sword was like a towering mountain, and the pen stood thousands of miles......

Yuqin even called the sword, although he didn't know what the name of the sword was, but at a glance, he knew that it was a treasure. I reluctantly watched it for a long time, and after returning it. said, "Please sir, take care of yourself." So the soldier took his leave.

Yuqin packed up her belongings and said to Cui'er: "This gentleman's surname is Wu, although he is dressed as an ordinary person. But the sword on his body is the world's famous sword. I don't know what the name of this sword is, but this person is no idle person, and I must come and find out when the time comes. Since he can understand swordsmanship, his martial arts are naturally not bad, so I can just ask him for advice. Since my master left, my growth has been much slower. ”

Cui'er was a little worried: "This matter must not be discovered by the master, I am worried every day, we sneak out, Mrs. must know, but she just turns a blind eye."

Yuqin said: "What are you afraid of, there is me." I don't have a boy, and I don't have a brother or sister. If I keep the women's way all day, do some embroidery, weaving, or cooking. So how? I have to help my father and be his right-hand man, so that he will not be left alone. ”

Xiaocui couldn't say anything, packed up her things, and the two rode back to the house.

Gossip along the way. Cui'er said: "Didn't our husband take in a new one who knows some martial arts?" That Ling'er's father, their father and daughter are performing on the streets, and their martial arts are not bad, why don't you learn from Ling'er and her father? ”

Yu Qin shook his head: "His kung fu is all juggling and some carving insect skills, and he can't be elegant." ”

Cui'er said again: "I happened to hear Mr. say that our family's Ziwen is not simple, Mr. has always valued him, and I heard that his martial arts are very good. ”

Yu Qin sighed: "If you want to say that our family's Ziwen is haode, loyal and upright, and excellent in martial arts." But my father told him that he was not allowed to teach me martial arts. I also approached him many times, but he was rejected. He was my father's confidant. No one can let him disobey the master's orders, he won't take half a step, but the master's orders are obeyed, and I don't just have to stare dryly. ”

"The master said that he couldn't let outsiders know the details of Ziwen, for fear that it would not be good to spread it. Only a few of us know about his kung fu, and the rest of the family doesn't know. I thought he was just an ordinary attendant and guard. So Mr. didn't let him teach you to practice martial arts, because he was afraid of exposing his identity, and Mr. didn't support you to practice martial arts, didn't he? Xiao Cui put forward her own opinion.

The two returned to the house, but fortunately the master had not returned, but they bumped into Ziwen at the door. Yuqin was a little strange, so he asked him: "Ziwen, if you don't follow the master, why are you at home alone?" "Ziwen follows the master at any time, and he is generally inseparable.

Ziwen came up to salute and replied very respectfully: "The master was picked up by the eldest son just now, saying that he didn't need an entourage, and ordered me to wait at home, so I waited here." ”

Yuqin stared at Ziwen's face fiercely, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to tell the master that I have been out!" If the master knows about this in the future, it must be what you said, and I will find trouble for you. ”

Ziwen looked innocent, but he had to endure Miss's unreasonableness. I also know that she always feels dissatisfied if she doesn't agree to teach her martial arts.

Yuqin saw that he looked a little stupid, so he sneered and laughed, ignored him, and went into the house with Cui'er.

Recalling the details of the scene when he met Mr. Na Wu in the morning, Yuqin had a different feeling in his heart. There was a powerful attraction in that majestic man, always arousing his curiosity from time to time. Yuqin hopes that the day of the appointment will come soon, and with more time to understand, he will be able to touch more details about the man. She was sitting on the embroidery stool pondering when she saw her mother enter her boudoir with some maids.

She stood up and welcomed her mother in, and sat down. The lady glanced at her daughter lovingly, and saw that her face was still a little red. So he asked, "I see that you have nothing to do all day long, and you don't take a needle or thread." A few days ago, your father took in two subordinates, Uncle Mo and his daughter Ling'er. This Ling'er looks like you're about your age, and you can play with her. Ling'er has followed her father to the north and south for many years, and she must have encountered many interesting things, you can also listen to them and gain some knowledge. ”

Yuqin jumped up happily and couldn't help but kiss her mother, she was so grateful for her mother's understanding. Locked up in this deep house compound all day, I was panicked and sneaky when I went out, and I was really a little depressed when I thought about it.

"Mother, then I want to see her now."

"What's the hurry, you can go at any time in the future, I just arranged for her to do some chores, and she is not like our maid, she is still very idle. Your father wanders the streets all day long, like a headless fly, and he is becoming less and less seen these days, leading Ziwen and Uncle Mo to search for meritocracy everywhere for the king. He has countless people, but why didn't he show his hard life? ”

Yuqin is a little funny, it seems that her mother is sometimes unreasonable. No wonder I am so untamed, most of them are also genetic.

A group of people went out, Yuqin didn't go to Ling'er immediately, and took advantage of his father's absence, but went to his father's study alone. When he was young, because there were no other children in the family, his father taught Xiao Yuqin to recognize some words when he had nothing to do, and showed her some bamboo slips, so Yuqin could recognize words.

She took a few bundles of bamboo slips from the wooden lattice on the top layer and looked through them for a while. Suddenly, Zuihou dropped a letter from inside. I picked it up and read it carefully, it was written by the eldest son, and it was written like this (modern translation, readers, in this book, they are all recorded in the vernacular, as an explanation, lest anyone ask the ancients to write letters and talk like that?) It is hereby explained): "Recently, according to Mr.'s strategy, he dispelled the idea of King Wu going out to avenge the soldiers. Now the soldier is unhappy, resigned from the doctor's position, and is depressed. Mr. Dare Lao, you can send someone to contact you on a certain day to persuade him to use it for me, remember! ”

Yuqin looked through some bamboo slips, put the things away, and returned them to their original places, so that her father would not find out and be suspicious.

was about to go out, and saw a book spread out on several cases, the bibliography was "Smelting Sword". Yu Qin remembered the sword of the soldier, so he looked at it carefully for a while. I didn't read a few articles, but on one of the sword records, the words "Seven Star Dragon Yuan" were written. There is a sword-like pattern on it, which is the same as the sword of the soldiers. The above review understands that it was made by the master Ou Yezi and is the famous sword of the Chu State.

Yu Qin thought for a while, but was still a little dazed. Could this soldier be a person from the Chu State? Yuqin still wanted to continue to take a look, but it was not too early to see the time, and he was afraid that his father would find out and learn another lesson, so he had to come out and take a look at it another day.
