In the morning, the shores of the frozen lake are quiet and serene, except for the sporadic chirping of birds and the clatter of the fire of the grilled fish.

The sun was warm, and the man in gray stretched his waist, looked around lazily, and asked Shu'er, "Little brother, how did you catch your fish?" Why didn't you see the fishing rod? ”

Shu'er, who is dressed in men's clothes and eats exaggerated food, continues to pretend to be a man effortlessly. Although there was a moment just now, she would rather walk alone and wear a daughter's outfit. She pointed to the Huaiwang sword that was placed on the ground at random next to the fire, and said, "The sword was inserted." ”

The man in gray became interested in the long sword, hurriedly walked over, lifted the sword and asked, "Little brother, your fox fur is very good, and this sword looks even more unusual, can you unsheath it for me to see?" ”

Shu'er felt that the grilled fish in her hand couldn't be cold, so she nodded while eating the grilled fish intently. felt that this man who was about the same age as himself couldn't see that he was a woman, and called her a "little brother", as if he was a few years older, it was better to call her "little fox".

The man in gray slowly pulled the sword out of its scabbard, carefully studied the lines of the sword body, and said in amazement: "Little brother, your sword is really not ordinary!" You actually used it to plug in a fish? ”

Shu'er felt that although this gray-clothed man looked like an immortal in the painting, why did he have so many mouths and tongues, and even called her "little brother"! I didn't know why an evil fire came from, so I rolled my eyes and said angrily: "The sword is my sword, and I naturally can use it however I want." After speaking, he felt as if the tone was inexplicably unfriendly, and people didn't deliberately offend her, but they were just interested in her fox skin and Huaiwang sword, and it also showed that people had a good eye, so he added: "I mean, this sword is a good sword, and it is really a helpless move to use it to insert a fish." ”

The man in gray smiled brightly again, his eyes reflecting the warm sun. Shu'er couldn't see his good-looking smile, which really affected her concentration on eating grilled fish, so she lowered her eyebrows and didn't look at him.

The man asked, "Your fish is so well grilled that I'm hungry." I'll go back to the house and get a fishing rod, can I borrow your spice and bake a couple as well? ”

Shu'er saw that he was still holding the Huaiwang sword in love, so he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to take a fishing rod, you can also try to use my sword to stick in the fish!" ”

The man nodded happily frequently, like a child who was ignorant of the world and liked treasures, rolled up his sleeves and ran to the ice cave by the lake with the sword of the king to insert fish. But Shu'er saw that his cautious and uncontrollable appearance was completely different from the comfortable posture of practicing swords on the lake yesterday, as if he was afraid of breaking her sword, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and said to him: "This sword is not so easy to poke, you can let go of your movements." ”

The man looked back and smiled, and said, "Good! In a short time, three fish were inserted, all of which were fatter than Shu'er's. The man returned with a full load, holding the sword of the king of arms, and the sword was strung with three lake fish.

Shu'er saw that his happy and embarrassed appearance was completely different from the beautiful man he saw in front of the window yesterday practicing swords in the ice lake, and felt that he was as cute as a raccoon in the forest, and couldn't help but point at him and laugh.

The man looked at his embarrassed appearance, then looked at the three fish on the sword, and sighed with a smile: "I look like this, I estimate that I will be at the top of the beauty list next year, and I can finally be replaced!" ”

Shu'er thought that more than a year ago, when she heard Lin Ying mention this Kyushu beauty list, she suddenly realized: "You are the top of the beauty list, Zhuge calm?" ”

Zhuge calmly covered his face with one of the three fish and said: "Shame, shame, little brother Mo smiled." I'm a big man, and I'm actually on the top of the beauty list, so Zhao Wang Lao'er doesn't know what he thinks! Do I have to go to the door to find him? ”

Seeing his funny appearance, Shu'er couldn't help laughing, and sneered: "Don't worry, you are like this today, God knows, you know me, next year's top beauty list is still your brother Zhuge Ren!" ”

Zhuge calmly grilled the fish and asked, "May I ask the little brother's surname?" ”

Shu'er thought to herself, since Lin Ying admired his brother Rong so much, and he didn't reveal his identity to him, she still didn't want to say much at this time, not to mention that this Zhuge calmly was just a stranger to her, so she replied: "My surname is Yan Mingshu, and I am from Chen Guofanjing." ”

Zhuge calmly saluted suddenly: "Rude and rude, it turns out that the little brother is actually the boss of Fanjing Biliang Cosmetics Shop?" ”

Shu'er also learned from him and replied with an official tone: "Be polite, Brother Ren is the young master of the Zhuge family of Chu State, and I am really very happy to hear about our small makeup shop in Chen State." ”

Zhuge calmly laughed suddenly, patted Shu'er's shoulder and said, "Boss Yan, you are really interesting!" Since we already have this 'sword in the fish' friend, why should we be so polite? Our Zhuge family has done all kinds of business, but we have never done a cosmetics business. In the future, Boss Yan will come to Chu Country when he is free, and I will help you open the Biliang Cosmetics Shop to Chu State! ”

Shu'er smiled and thanked him, and suddenly thought that maybe he didn't have to enter the Song State from the Chen State or the Chu State, but he could also make a detour through the Chu State. Although the state of Chu was full of gunsmoke and the road was far away, it was not difficult to enter the Song country from Chu Shui, so he asked: "Brother Zhuge Ren, you are from the state of Chu, do you know how the battle situation is in the state of Chu at this time?" Is it difficult for the Chu people to enter the Song realm? ”

Zhuge calmly replied: "The war of the seven kings has been going on for ten years, the people have lost their money, and all industries have withered. At present, among the seven kings, King Ping, King Yu, King Li, and King Sheng are all likely to unify the Chu State. Farming in Pingwang County is developed, and there is no worry about money and food. There are 100,000 soldiers in Yuwang County, and the combat power is outstanding. There are many talents in Liwang County, and there is no hindrance to advice. Shengwang County ...... It borders the Song Kingdom and is convenient for trade. And King Sheng also has a very powerful right-hand man, a civil and military all-rounder, called Dongfang Yu. Mr. Dongfang, who grew up with King Sheng since he was a child, King Sheng put his heart to him, and he was also loyal to King Sheng, so it can be said that Mr. Dongfang has contributed a lot to King Sheng's ability to have today. Therefore, the Chu people often say: 'The seven kings are fighting for royal power, it is better to have an oriental dialect.' As for the Chu people entering the Song realm, it is not difficult to go to Shengwang County first, enter Chu Water in the east, and then connect the Jade River to the Jade Capital of the Song Kingdom. ”

Shu'er's eyes showed a hint of hope, but he listened to Zhuge calmly say: "If you want to go to the Song Kingdom, you must first go to Shengwang County, because Shengwang monopolizes all commercial transactions between Song and Chu. But from Shu to Chu, the first to enter was Yuwang County. King Yu and King Sheng have been fighting for ten years, and there are countless casualties every year, and it is almost impossible to go from Yuwang County to Shengwang County. So if you want to go to the Song Kingdom, it's not so easy. ”
