On the second day, Pei Ju saw Zuo Houde practicing swords in the backyard early in the morning.

Zuo Houde has not changed the habit of early practice over the years, and he gets up every day when he smells the chicken, either dancing the gun or practicing the sword.

Pei Ju has been watching from the side, although he is a literati, but he has also practiced swordsmanship, the ability to distinguish between good and bad is there, in Pei Ju's opinion, Zuo Houde's swordsmanship is the most superb person he has ever seen, in his mind is Gongsun Auntie is alive is nothing more than that.

From time to time, Zuo Houde finished practicing the sword, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief beside him, Pei Ju walked over, apologized, first bowed his hand, and said: "Pei Ju didn't want to go to the backyard and disturbed the general's interest in dancing the sword!" ”

Zuo Houde laughed and said: "Brother Pei, why should you be like this, you and I can be commensurate with brothers, I dance the sword in the backyard every day, I think it was the sound that aroused Brother Pei's interest." ”

After Pei Ju heard this, he first thanked Zuo Houde, and then continued to say with admiration: "Brother Zuo's swordsmanship is really the first person I have ever seen, even if Gongsun is alive, it is just like that!" ”

Zuo Houde said modestly: "Don't dare, don't dare!" Aunt Gongsun killed one person in ten steps, and did not stay for thousands of miles. It can be said that the enemy country is exhausted in ten steps, and Zuo is still inferior! ”

The Gongsun aunt mentioned by Pei Ju and Zuo Houde is not Zuo Houde's previous life, the first dancer of the Tang Palace in the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, but an assassin who is famous all over the world.

As an assassin, he can be passed down through the ages, relying on the fact that in the past, the Gongsun clan was under the protection of eight hundred armor guards, assassinated the king, took the life of the king of Chu with a sword, and then left again, only one stab in his life, and no other deeds.

It is such a strange woman, known as the first strange woman in ancient and modern times, the first swordsmanship in three hundred years, according to the guard of the king of Chu at that time, a sword of the Gongsun clan can not be described in words.

It is the thorn of the husband and the king, and the comet strikes the moon; Nie Zhengzhi's assassination Han puppet also, white rainbow through the sun; To leave the thorn Qingji, the eagle struck the palace. The swords of the three great ancient assassins were also so pale and powerless in front of the Gongsun clan.

Therefore, the people of later generations are trying their best to exaggerate the swordsmanship of the Gongsun clan, like "ten years to sharpen a sword." "A sword is cold and nineteen states" and other exaggerated words are used on the Gongsun family.

Although Zuo Houde is conceited, he is also self-aware, his sword has not reached the level of "one sword light and nineteen states", that is, he assassinated the king in front of eight hundred people, and then easily escaped, which is also a difficult thing for Zuo Houde.

Pei Ju heard Zuo Houde say this, and couldn't help asking: "Does Brother Zuo know who the Gongsun clan is?" ”

Zuo Houde shook his head, there are many rumors about the Gongsun family, and Zuo Houde has not investigated it carefully, of course he doesn't know, but when he heard Pei Ju ask like this, Zuo Houde became interested.

couldn't help asking, "Brother Pei knows?" ”

Pei Ju showed an unfathomable smile and said meaningfully: "There are many legends about the Gongsun family, most of which are folk fiction, but I still know a thing or two!" ”

Zuo Houde poked his head out, did not urge, and silently listened to Pei Ju's future.

Pei Ju's face showed yearning, and he sighed lightly and said: "The Gongsun clan has been assassinated through the ages, and the assassin is not someone else, it is the king of Chuzhuang who has become a blockbuster if he does not make a sound, and after this assassination, the state of Chu, which is thriving, has the potential to dominate the world, has fallen apart!" It's really a strange woman, but it's a pity that the style of that sword is extinct after that! ”

Zuo Houde looked curious, and asked in a voice, "Why?" ”

Pei Ju glanced at Zuo Houde and said to himself: "Others don't know who the Gongsun clan is, but I do know that the word Gongsun is just a pseudonym, and his real name is Tang Sai'er, and he is the thirty-second generation leader of my White Lotus Sect." ”

Zuo Houde nodded after hearing this, this Emperor Nanming was born in the White Lotus Sect and is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, and I think the same is true for this Pei Ju, so it seems that Pei Ju's words should be true, and there is no need to lie to himself.

Pei Ju asked again: "Does Brother Zuo know Tang Sai'er?" ”

Zuo Houde shook his head, the White Lotus Sect is a professional rebel, it has existed since the pre-Qin Dynasty, there are too many anti-kings about the White Lotus Sect, Zuo Houde doesn't know.

Pei Ju shook his head, sighed and said: "It's normal for Brother Zuo not to know, it's me, if I don't look through the collections in the sect, I'm afraid I don't know Tang Sai'er, Tang Sai'er is a White Lotus Holy Maiden, and she has practiced swordsmanship since she was a child.

Since the pseudonym Gongsun, after a sword shock, Tang Sai'er inherited the ambition of the ancestors in the sect, from the Tongzhou uprising, for a while, the momentum was huge, and in a short period of time he won more than ten cities, but it is a pity that such a strange woman is still just a pioneer for the king, and then let the Northern Zhou general Yang Wenyuan take the world, and finally can only kill himself in the Huai River! ”

As he spoke, Pei Ju looked at Zuo Houde again, his eyes meaningful.

Zuo Houde saw Pei Ju's gaze in an instant, and saw Pei Ju's meaning, and then Zuo Houde understood that Pei Ju was borrowing from the past to describe the present, ostensibly talking about Tang Sai'er, but actually talking about Zuo Houde.

Zuo Houde also pretended to be silent for a while.

Pei Ju continued: "Since the establishment of my White Lotus Sect, until the Han Sect Master has been seventy-two people, the accumulation of seventy-two generations, let my Majesty Ming dominate the south, Rao is that Hong Zaixing is also the foundation of the three generations of ancestors for nearly a hundred years, Brother Zuo, this world is not easy to fight?" ”

Zuo Houde understood that Pei Juyi knew, and he pretended to sigh for a while, and said: "The world is so big, the dragon and snake revolt, but it is often the precursor of the king, Zuo Mou came from a mediocre background, started with military exploits, and was already a general of Dayan Town before he was thirty years old, but if it wasn't for Hong Zaixing's rewards and punishments, why would Zuo stop there?" ”

As he spoke, Zuo Houde's words revealed a sadness, as if he couldn't help himself!

Pei Ju thought a lot for a while, and with Zuo Houde's words, he believed what Zuo Houde said for a while.

So he asked, "How does Brother Zuo look at today?" ”

Zuo Houde looked at Pei Ju, showing an expression of wanting to speak and stopping, and said after a moment of hesitation: "The seventy-two generations of the White Lotus Sect have not been accomplished, and the Han Sect Master has achieved it, and there are no princes in the world who are south and north, can your son of heaven succeed?" ”

Pei Ju heard Zuo Houde's words, and said indifferently: "Since it can be done, my country's Son of Heaven has Jiang Cheng and other virtuous ministers, and Wu has General Lu and other generals, besides, the Son of Heaven is sage, there is the amount of tolerance for people, and all capable people and people with lofty ideals have taken refuge in my Majesty, it is the time when the country is prosperous, how can it not be determined by the south and the north?" ”

Zuo Houde looked at Pei Ju, and said indifferently: "When I was in Youzhou, the military general Wenchen also said the same!" Besides, there has just been a war between the two countries of Daming and Dayan, although you have won, but you have also suffered a lot of losses, and you will not be able to go north in a short time! ”

Pei Ju looked at Zuo Houde's eyes and said: "Brother Zuo has already offended Hong Zaixing, and there is already only one way to take refuge in my Daming, why not make a choice early." ”

Zuo Houde laughed, and also looked directly at Pei Ju and said: "It's not too late to wait until the situation is clear, besides, I, Zuo, am still the general of Dayan's expedition to the east." And how can there be only one choice? ”

After Pei Ju heard this, he also knew that Zuo Houde was pretending to be crazy and stupid, so he didn't say anything anymore, and turned around and left after saying goodbye!

Pei Ju was in the post house and wrote a letter to the messenger, which read: "I am ambitious, I want to meet the source left and right!" ”
