Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"He's still capable of coming back!! If he comes back, you'll see how I'll clean him up!! Zhao Yan, the old man asked you, if you still dare to fool the old man, today is the day you leave my palace!! The old man's eyes seemed to burst into flames.

"The little one understands, the little one understands, the little one asks, the little one must know everything, and the words are endless." Zhao Yan seemed to see the last hope.

"The old man asked you!! Do you have a letter to send back on weekdays? Every word of the old man proved that in his heart, the son named Mo'er was very important to him.

"Master, when the son left, he only said that he would return in a few days, and did not send a letter back home." The doorman said.

"Shuang'er, you should tell me, Mo'er, this kid makes Daddy uneasy, I..." The old man didn't finish speaking, his heart suddenly ached, and he kept beating with a fist in his right hand.

"Daddy, what's wrong with you? Mo'er will be fine, Daddy don't worry. Shuang'er hurriedly hugged the old man and said.

Cui Li and I stood at the door of the hall, and when we saw the old man like this, we also walked in: "Old man, you don't have to worry, we came from Jiangling City before, everything is fine in the city, you can rest assured, Ling Gongzi must be safe."

After I finished speaking, the old man was slightly relieved, but he still couldn't speak.

"Who are you? Why did you trespass into the territory of my palace? "Before Cui Li and I could react, the woman had already pulled out the hanging sword from the pillar behind her and attacked us.

I reflexively pulled out the heavy sword at my waist to block the woman's long sword: "Girl, you misunderstood, we didn't trespass into the mansion, but Ling Zun invited us into the mansion."

The old man's eyes widened when he saw this, but he was unable to speak, and covered his heart with his hand, looking very painful.

"That's it, you girl, you look beautiful, but why is your temper so big, before anyone can finish speaking, they will face each other with swords, we are your father's friends." After Cui Li finished speaking, the woman's long sword was put down slightly, and she turned to the doorman and asked, "Zhao Yan, what they said is true?" ”

"That's right, it's true, it was the master who ordered me to place the two of them in the mansion so that they could take care of them." After the doorman finished speaking, she put down the long sword in her hand.

"Since it's a friend of my father, I offended a lot just now, and I hope you two won't be surprised." The woman tucked her sword behind her.

"Why, I was just taking the liberty to come to the hall suddenly, and I didn't say anything in advance." I saluted back, retracting my sword from its scabbard.

"The son is polite, the little woman's surname is Wang, her name is Ningshuang, and the word is Hanxin. My father is the master of this palace--- Wang Linshu. After Wang Ningshuang finished speaking, he hurriedly returned to Wang Linshu's side and handed over the hot water.

With the help of Shuang'er, Wang Linshu drank a few sips of hot water, and the pain in his heart eased a lot, and he was finally able to speak: "Two, the little girl who was just here was offended, and I also invited the two Haihan."

"Old man, you are polite, it is our courtesy that is not thorough enough and disturbs your conversation." I hurriedly returned the salute.

"The two of you laughed, the old man was so angry for my uncompetitive son that he almost died..."Before Wang Linshu finished speaking, Shuang'er beside him stopped: "Dad, why are you talking nonsense, Dad's body is still healthy." ”

"Yes, it's not good for my father, it's just that my heart hurts, it's not a big deal, just take a rest." The old man stood up with the help of Frost. "Two, the old man felt a little uncomfortable, so he went back to rest first. Poor care, poor care. ”

"Old man, you're welcome, please have a good rest." I watched as Ning Shuang helped Wang Linshu out of the hall.

Zhao Yan saw that Wang Linshu had left, so he also stood up and said, "Please rest early, and the younger one will retreat first." The doorman quickly left the hall.

In the huge hall, only Cui Li and I remained.

"Cheng Yin, it was really dangerous just now, fortunately your reaction was fast enough, otherwise we would be finished..."Cui Li said and was about to leave the hall.

But I didn't move, but looked at the scabbard hanging from the pillar, why did it look so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere...

"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you? What's so nice about the column?" Cui Li said impatiently.

Suddenly my head started to hurt. Something must have been overlooked by me? The middle-aged man appeared in front of my eyes again, looking at the chessboard seriously, and there should be nothing more in his mind than the game.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

I have been tired of listening to this sentence, and I always feel that I have no heart at all.

"Cheng Yin, what's wrong with you? What happened to you? "When I came back to my senses, all I heard was Cui Li's shout.

"I'm fine, I just think I've seen the scabbard on this pillar somewhere, but the thought of this makes my head hurt." I said as I touched my head.

"I think it's a little strange here when you say that." Cui Li's expression was a little solemn, it seemed that he must have found something unusual.

"What's strange?" I asked.

"You see, why is there such a luxurious mansion in such a small town, and besides, the old man keeps saying that he has been a scholar for generations, but his son is dancing with a sword, and even more puzzling is that his daughter is also very skilled, which is very strange." Cui Li's analysis sounds like a head-scratcher.

But there is one thing Cui Li said on the point, why is the old man's daughter so skilled, the woman does not let the eyebrows, the old man is so disgusted with his son's martial arts, but he is not the slightest shocked by the fact that his daughter is attacking with a sword, it seems that he should know very well that his daughter is good at martial arts.

"Cui Li, you're right, I think it's very strange, but these are just our guesses, maybe things are not what you think." I don't have time to think about this at this time, and the top priority is to rush back to the barracks as soon as possible tomorrow morning and make peace with Professor Wu.

"Also, it's difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, so we don't have to think about it, let's rest for a while, it's important to hurry tomorrow." Cui Li and I left the hall together and walked towards our room.

Why did it feel so long tonight, the candle flame in the room flickering, why the sword used by the girl named Frost always felt similar, I hesitated back and forth, my mind was very jumbled, like an unsolvable math problem.

I didn't bother to look up at the shelf, and suddenly I froze, looking at the book in front of me, and I didn't know what to say.

I walked over to the bookshelf and took down the book from above, and on the cover of the book was neatly written a few large letters-----Battle of the Three Generals!"
