Chapter 36: The Sword Test
"Hehe, sister-in-law, look at this reckless man, I really don't know how important it is!" On the Lingyun Pavilion, Su Yu, who was secretly watching the battle, couldn't help but laugh, but Su Yu just lazily raised the corners of her mouth, which was considered to be a response to her.
Ye Bandit's expression became more solemn, he knew that this man in black was not only not a hillbilly who had never seen the world, but also had a good chance of becoming famous through this battle.
"Hmph, if you don't make a move, then I'll move first." As soon as the man in black finished speaking, the person was already in front of Ye Bandit, and the black knife light was already pressing on his chin, in fact, how could such a blunt knife have knife light, but the person who shot was too fast, but what was left for the vision was a string of black shadows, like knife light.
Ye Bandit Jun saw with his own eyes that the hair flying on his sideburns was broken by the sword qi, and when he was busy turning his head, the blade brushed the tip of his nose, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and returned to the sword to block the frame, with a loud "poof", the blunt knife was not only not cut off by the sword, but because of the heavy internal force attached to the knife, the arm holding the sword was in pain.
After more than a dozen moves, Ye Bandit Jun has been left and right, full of dangers, although he has not been bargained for by the other party, he has also begun to be in the position of parrying: the other party's knife is sluggish and simple, and the posture is extremely ugly, but the moves are completed in the simplest and most direct way, there is no superfluous action and amplitude, and he will never waste excess strength, and although his swordsmanship is elegant and light, and he is relaxed, it is too regular, and he often loses a lot of opportunities.
The audience all shouted happily, and the guests on the stage applauded, and it was not until this moment that the competition between the owners of the Justice Building showed the level it should have. I saw that the two fierce figures in the ring quickly exchanged directions, dizzying and nervous, although the contrast between the two is demonstrating the two extremes of gorgeous and vulgar, but after this battle, no one dares to despise this man in black anymore.
There was a loud "oh-" again, and the swords collided again, this time everyone used enough internal force, and as a result, there was another gap in the blunt knife, but there were also some fine and brilliant particles on the ground, which seemed to have been shaken off from Ye Bandit's gorgeous sword.
"Stop-" The other host of this ring competition, Su Yibin, the master of Lingyun Pavilion, finally stood up and signaled to stop, "The result of this round of competition is a tie between the two sides. ”
Ye Bandit Jun was extremely victorious, and he really didn't want to stop there, but when he saw that the other party's dirty cuffs had been cut by his own sword, he stopped, and suddenly felt a wet sticky feeling on his left cheek, and wiped it with his hand, and actually wiped a few blood beads, and then the stinging pain in his cheek faintly attacked: "Hmph, I only cut the sleeve of his robe, but he cut my face, in the end, I lost one percent." ”
He was annoyed, but even more horrified: "This man's blunt knife is so sharp, when did he slash my face?" Looking at the other party's blank expression, as if he didn't realize that he had won, he couldn't help but comfort himself: "This must be a fluke." "He grew up under the halo and was a very confident person.
"Is that the end of it? But we haven't decided yet! The man in black's eyes stared straight at the silver taels on the table, and he didn't take a minute away.
Su Yibin said with a smile: "Today's extraordinary martial arts of the two really opened our eyes, as a rising star in the martial arts, the attainments are like this, which really makes the old man feel very gratified, but it is too late, so I will give up with a tie, and I will fight again tomorrow to determine the victory." ”
Ye Banditjun suddenly relaxed as if relieved, and then he felt that he was deeply afraid of this black-clothed opponent, and he didn't know if it was the fear of losing or the fear of the black-clothed man himself.
Su Yibin said as if he had seen through the thoughts of the man in black: "However, as a reward for promotion, each person will receive fifty taels of silver." ”
The man in black smiled very happily: "This is the best, I thought that if it wasn't for the silver, I wouldn't have come." As soon as these words came out, there was a sigh in the audience, or laughing or scolding, and there were many voices of contempt, but he still smiled happily and didn't care at all.
"This person is really a philistine, I hate it." Even in the boudoir, Miss Su, who had never spoken rudely, couldn't help but scold, and Su Wu didn't know how many times she had scolded, but she scolded in her heart.
Even if he is as gentle and elegant as Ye Bandit, he can no longer maintain a gentlemanly demeanor. What kind of wealth he was, how could he care about this mere fifty taels of silver, but what annoyed him was that he would encounter such a vulgar and inferior opponent, and this person happened to have wonderful martial arts, which constituted a threat to his title of "the first rookie in martial arts".
The man in black solemnly took the silver taels from Su Yibin's hand, weighed the weight, and did not thank him, waved his companion or the pet black panther, and was about to walk away, but said something that even a martial arts master like Su Yibin with excellent cultivation wanted to flatten him: "Tomorrow!" I'm not coming, I'm too tired to fight like this! ”
Su Yibin wanted to stop him, saying that the selection and competition of some righteous landlords is related to the future fortune of martial arts, and as a martial arts person with a sense of justice and responsibility, he should be treated with caution. Especially for a young hero like you, who has cultivated to an amazing degree, you must take it as your responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the country, and you must not be obsessed with money and turbidity, delaying a good future, and other words, but when you think of the other party's virtue, this statement can really be said to play the piano to the cow, so I stopped my mouth and watched the other party leave.
Everyone else's eyes also followed one person and one leopard and left, and they were secretly speculating in their hearts whether this person was a hillbilly who was unsophisticated and regarded wealth as his life, or a hidden and deliberately pretentious outsider.
The sky finally darkened, and a faint half-moon appeared and disappeared in the dark clouds, reflecting the light and darkness of all parts of the world, as if this was a world that was difficult to detect and discern in the first place.
Ye Bandit Jun was already standing in front of his own house, the plaque on the Marquis's Mansion three gold characters, under the reflection of the two red lanterns, still exuding shining light, the two mighty stone lions at the door seemed to be in place of their own masters, with the most contemptuous eyes proud of all the people and everything in front of the door. Looking up at the most magnificent house in the city besides the royal palace,
An indescribable smile appeared on the corner of Ye Banditjun's mouth.
He stopped for a long time, and finally lazily pulled up the door knocker and buckled it a few times, the sleepy-eyed servant was a little bright, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was the young master of this mansion, and his face was immediately full of joy, and he was full of energy.
Ye Bandit Jun didn't bother to pay attention to him, and walked straight towards the wing room, passing by the study on the way, and saw the tired figure of his father Ye Zhizhou sitting on the desk and writing on the window paper, knowing that he was still worried about the war at the border, so he didn't bother him and went back to the room by himself.
In the palatial bedroom, filled with the fragrant fragrance of the fine rosewood wood, Ye Bandit Jun pondered, half asleep and half awake, and his body had changed into a soft ice silk nightgown, as if he was about to fall asleep, and seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate.
There was a sound of stumbling footsteps outside the door, and Ye Banditan suddenly opened his eyes and drank sullenly: "Who?" This voice was quite inconsistent with his usual image of a humble and polite noble son, and the people outside the door were also startled, and then said coquettishly: "Childe, it's me!" ”
As soon as Ye Bandit Jun heard this voice, he knew that it was his maid Qin Yi, and a look of disgust appeared on his face, but it was only fleeting.
Qin Yi didn't wait for the master to summon, she opened the door and walked in, because she always thought that Ye Bandit Jun treated her a little differently, but it was true, under her excessive courtesy, Ye Bandit Jun at least remembered her name, and there were as many as twenty or thirty servant girls serving Ye Bandit.
"Childe, the slave knows that you are working very hard to preside over the competition in the Righteous Building, so you have specially prepared your favorite osmanthus pine nut cake and five-fruit jasper cake, as well as cherry bird's nest soup, you can drink it while it's hot!" Jean walked to the table and set up the supper one by one. In fact, Ye Kuanjun was already sick to his stomach when he saw her like this, where would he pay attention to what pine nut cake and jasper crisp.
"Childe, please use soup!" Qin Yi filled a bowl of bird's nest soup and held it to Ye Bandit Jun with both hands, although he was extremely respectful on the surface, his eyes showed a shy look of wanting to refuse and welcome from time to time, which made Ye Bandit Jun goosebumps.
He gently pushed away the bird's nest soup and said meaningfully, "Qin Yi, you should be sixteen this year, right?" One day, I'll help you say a good mother-in-law! ”
Qin Yi was so frightened that she fell to her knees, crying and kowtowing bitterly: "The slave and maid have offended the son somewhere, and please punish the son, but please don't drive the slave away, the slave and the maid will serve the son for the rest of her life." ”
Ye Bandit Jun smiled faintly: "For a lifetime? What is there in this world that can be promised for a lifetime? ”
He lifted Qinyi's chin and said softly and cruelly: "In this world! Dragons with dragons, phoenixes with phoenixes, maggot shells with bed bugs. People know that if they always have some unrealistic daydreams, delusional thinking that one day they will fly on the branches, they can only bring humiliation on themselves in the end, you know? Qin Yi bit her lower lip with tears in her eyes, and nodded her head hard.
In the end, only Ye Bandun was left alone in the room. He sat alone in front of the mirror.
"You are handsome, talented, respectable, rich and unmatched, and the heavens are jealous of you!" Ye Bandit Jun lifted his long hair with one hand, stroked the scratches left on his cheek by the man in black with the other, and spoke to the other self in the mirror, "No wonder women want to beat your idea, what a thousand charming, the country is beautiful, in my opinion, women are only divided into two kinds - available and unavailable." ”
The man in the mirror suddenly smiled sadly, and it was hard to believe that such laughter came from a promising young man.
Ye Kuijun finally stood up, paced to the side of the bookcase, and gently twisted the bracket of a golden unicorn on the flower stand, and the bookcase turned over impressively, revealing a black corridor.
