Chapter 69: Lu Daxia is also!
"I am a generation of heroes who are famous in the rivers and lakes, punish rape and eliminate evil, and support justice, Lu Daxia!"
Lu Zhaoling wanted to say this, but she was embarrassed.
In the end, she just smiled politely and said to Lin Xiu, "I am a new disciple of Shen Banxian in the city. ”
"Shen Banxian...... Is it the old fortune teller? Blind in both eyes? Lin Xiu thought for a while.
Lu Zhaoling nodded, thinking that this old man Shen pretended to be blind quite successfully.
Two years ago, Shen Lingyan stopped Lu Zhaoling, saying that according to his calculations, the battle of the Western Expedition would take at least two or three years, and Lu Zhaoling's brother was much more powerful than Lu Zhaoling, and it was not her turn to save him. So he forcibly left Lu Zhaoling in Jinzhou, which was regarded as accepting a supernumerary disciple and taking her to practice.
Lu Zhaoling had no other way but to stay, and thought that since Shen Lingyan could teach an apprentice like Shen Fengjiu, he should also be a hidden master, so he gladly accepted the identity of a disciple.
As a result, two years later, she finally knew why Shen Fengjiu said that his master "didn't do anything".
Because this old man Shen was dangling on the street all day long, telling fortunes and bragging, and the rest really didn't do anything, and handed it over to the two apprentices. Lu Zhaoling's cultivation is also completely in charge of Shen Fengjiu.
Sometimes the old man pinched his fingers and counted it, and when he had money, he gave Lu Zhaoling an hour and place, and asked her to guard it.
Half of the time was empty, nothing would happen, and when he came back, the old man rightly said that he had miscalculated. The other half, such as today, will encounter some unexpected incidents, and they will get a good reward after successfully resolving them.
Half of the remuneration will be handed over to Old Man Shen when she gets it back, and she can keep the rest for herself. Lu Zhaoling didn't need any silver on weekdays, and thought that she would go to the Western Regions to find her brother in the future, so she saved all the money, and now she has a lot of savings.
The bounty should be quite generous this time. This gang of more than 20 people came all the way from near the western border, and they did all the bad things, and they were ruthless, and the yamen in various places had suffered damage in their hands, which caused the government to have a great headache. The bounty for this gang of rogues has been hanging for a long time, and now the bounty has been multiplied several times.
While thinking about the silver of the white flowers, Lu Zhaoling rode a horse with Lin Xiu, followed by two teams of wounded guards and a group of captured robbers, and returned to Jinzhou City in a mighty manner.
After receiving the bounty, he sent Lin Xiu home, and after receiving a thousand thanks from all over the Lin Mansion, Lu Zhaoling hummed a little song in a full and happy mood and returned to the Shen Mansion.
Although Lu Zhaoling felt that this simple courtyard could not be called a "mansion", Shen Lingyan specially made a plaque to hang on the door, emphasizing that it was called "Shen Mansion" when it was written.
It was still early at this time, Shen Lingyan was still wandering on the street, and Shen Fengjiu didn't know where to go.
There was no one in the courtyard, only a three-flowered kitten lying on a tree. Hearing Lu Zhaoling enter the door, it immediately jumped down lightly, tiptoed to Lu Zhaoling's side, and rubbed her legs intimately.
Lu Zhaoling picked up the kitten and rubbed it: "Ah~ Xiaohua Xiaohua Xiaohua, you are the cutest!" Xiaohua meowed twice, and obediently rolled up in Lu Zhaoling's arms.
After petting the cat for a while, Lu Zhaoling got up satisfied.
She came into the courtyard, unloaded her scimitar, and drew the soft sword she was carrying behind her back.
Shen Fengjiu said that the scimitar was too thick and heavy, and it was not suitable for her, so he gave her this soft sword.
The soft sword is a weapon, the sword body is like silk, soft and thin, easy to bend, and sometimes it feels more like a whip when held in the hand.
Lu Zhaoling, who had been wielding a scimitar around since he was a child, was accustomed to that kind of direct technique, and felt that it was difficult to control the use of the power of the soft sword, and after two years of cultivation, he still couldn't handle it.
However, under the guidance of Shen Fengjiu, the sword technique has been practiced diligently, and the level has improved by leaps and bounds.
However, Lu Zhaoling did not give up.
Shen Fengjiu said very reasonably, the scimitar is very particular about strength, and Lu Zhaoling does not have an advantage in strength.
Besides, she had seen Shen Fengjiu play this soft sword, and her light and ethereal posture of slashing flowers made her very fascinated.
I don't know when I'll be able to practice that otherworldly swordsmanship.
Lu Zhaoling looked forward to it in his heart, waved it in his hand, and began to practice his sword.
-
Lin Xiu returned home for a long time, still feeling palpitations.
Although the guards she brought along the way were all elite darts hired by her father, they were obviously completely incomparable to the two dozen or so ferocious bandits. If she hadn't met that Lu girl along the way, she would have died in Huangquan.
Although Lin Xiu did not see the melee with her own eyes, the scene afterwards could be seen. On the way back, the leader of the guards was also grateful to Miss Lu.
Today, it was up to Miss Lu to save her, and she still suspected that Miss Lu was a villain in the carriage.
Lin Xiu thought about it and felt ashamed.
Miss Lu sent her back to the house, and her father wanted to thank her with a heavy gift, but he was also refused. Miss Lu said that she had already given a bounty from the government, and besides, it was natural for Lu to draw a knife to help when she saw injustice, so she categorically refused to accept any more thank-you gifts.
This made Lin Xiu even more restless.
Miss Lu is not a greedy person for money, maybe I can send something that represents my heart to show my gratitude?
Lin Xiu thought so, got up and came to the boudoir.
Why don't you just ...... Embroider a brocade handkerchief and send it to Miss Lu.
Then bring some jewelry and jade and send them with you.
Lin Xiu's mind was lively, and he picked out a brocade that had been embroidered for a long time and had not been completed, sat by the window, and started work carefully.
Her name is "embroidery", and she is indeed as good as her name, ingenious, especially good at female popularity. Among the women who are familiar with each other in Jinzhou City, her embroidery can be called the first without modesty.
She has embroidered this square brocade in her hand for many days, is her most satisfied, favorite one, embroidered is the pattern of six contract spring, a deer and a crane, thriving, the world is spring.
This pattern has a deer, the same sound as Lu, and another vibrant scene, which is lined with the vigorous vitality of Miss Lu.
The more Lin Xiu thought about it, the more happy she felt, and she just wanted to embroider it quickly and give this heart to Miss Lu. But I am afraid that the movements of my hands will be too fast, and I will carelessly rough the stitches and not be fine.
She took a few deep breaths, put down her patience, suppressed the urgency in her heart, and embroidered with a needle and a thread in her hand.
She embroidered it until late at night. It was too dark, so she leaned tightly in front of the lamp, and only then did she reluctantly put down the Jinpa.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Lin Xiu got up early, picked up the brocade again, and embroidered non-stop.
It's almost ready, and it will be finished before dark today. I want to hurry up, I must give this Fang Jinpa to Miss Lu as soon as possible.
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Shen Mansion, Lu Zhaoling, who also got up early in the morning, was angrily stalemate with Shen Lingyan.
