Chapter 423: Competition

Zuo Yuanjia seemed to like to talk to Baili Qianyun about things, and invited him to the attic every few days. Today, he even took the initiative to bring wine over, and wanted to get drunk with Baili Qianyun.

Two carved flasks were placed on the table with a snap, guessing that they were mostly spirits. Baili Qianyun looked at the wine jug, and there was a slight helplessness in his modest smile: "General, forgive the juniors for not being good at drinking." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Yuanjia blew his beard and glared at him, "How can a young man say these frustrating words? Without saying that, he poured a full cup for both of them without saying anything, and then stood aside with his beard brushed and raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "You don't hurry up and do it." ”

Helpless, Baili Qianyun could only drink it all. It's not that he doesn't really know how to drink, those are just prevarications that he doesn't want to drink, and now it seems that he may have seen through it by the shrewd general in front of him.

After a few cups of yellow soup, both of them suddenly became drunk. Zuo Yuanjia suddenly unsheathed the sword at his waist by half an inch, and the blade that sharpened iron like mud flashed with a cold light. He slowly, one by one, stroked the sword, drunk and foggy, suddenly born a pride, haha laughed: "It's better to be like this, how about you and I have a fight?" ”

He was drunk, but Baili Qianyun was not drunk, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse. However, Zuo Yuanjia seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, so he forced the sword into his hand first, and then said with a smile: "If you want to fight, what are you grinding?" ”

Baili Qianyun rubbed his eyebrows, and his smile was even more helpless. At Zuo Yuanjia's request, the two came to an empty courtyard under the attic, and there was no one around. However, the two of them were holding ordinary iron swords, and Fang Cai's sword had already been thrown elsewhere.

"It's good, it's more obvious that it's really kung fu. But this time the general is no longer merciful? Zuo Yuanjia smiled heartily. With the sword in his hand, although the general's eyebrows were still drunk, he suddenly gave birth to a fierce aura, his eyes were blazing, and a ray of essence light was shot.

Baili Qianyun nodded with a smile. He is still gentle and elegant, and the sword is also held in his hand very ordinarily, but it inexplicably exudes an awe-inspiring aura, and he dare not be underestimated for no reason.

With Zuo Yuanjia's shout, both sides drew their swords at the same time! The snow light of the sword slammed into the air, piercing the air and sending out a sharp whistling. The wind gusted, rolling up the sky full of flowers and leaves, as if the heavens and the earth were changing color! Occasionally, flowers and leaves fell into the dazzling sword light, and they were instantly crushed into powder, merging with the blue sky.

During this period, Zuo Yuanjia's every move was extremely simple, stabbing and chopping, fast and ruthless, with a calm and murderous aura that had been precipitated on the battlefield for decades. In contrast, Baili Qianyun's sword moves are more chaotic, and although the overwhelming sword light is good-looking, it is slightly flashy.

The two sides exchanged dozens of moves in succession, until there was a crisp ding, and Baili Qianyun's sword in his hand was picked up and stopped. He took advantage of the situation to stabilize his body, bowed to Zuo Yuanjia, and then smiled slightly: "The general is really powerful, the junior admits defeat." ”

However, Zuo Yuanjia didn't look very happy, stared, threw the sword in his hand out for a while, and said angrily: "You kid must have stayed strong!" ”

Baili Qianyun smiled and showed that he had done his best, and the general snorted coldly, saying that he didn't want to believe this nonsense at all. However, in comparison, Zuo Yuanjia's moves were sharp, and he didn't look like a drunk person at all, and the two sides were just each other.

After a hearty fight, the general seemed to relieve his interest a little, took the strong wine and drank it again, and suddenly praised it sincerely: "Whether you do your best or not, your skills are very good, and you are a cut above others." ”

He changed his words, and suddenly said with a straight face: "General Ben thinks that if you go to take the martial arts exam, you will definitely be able to get a champion." There will be a good way out then. The words are extremely sincere, and it seems to be a heartfelt suggestion.

Hearing this, Baili Qianyun's eyes were calm without a trace of ripples, and he politely refused: "Thank you for the general's guidance." However, the younger generation's martial arts skills are poor, and it is difficult to succeed. Look at his face, as if it was just a rejection of a trivial matter.

Zuo Yuanjia didn't expect to get such a reply, he was speechless for a while, and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity, it's a pity." "Since people don't want to, he can't force it. It's not a petty fight, you can't tie someone up and pull it up.

The two continued to drink. Zuo Yuanjia was still restrained one cup at a time, but later he took the wine jug and poured it directly, and after a while, he lay on the table and fell asleep, but this time, he was really drunk. Baili Qianyun smiled dumbly again.

He called the housekeeper Zuo Zhen and asked him to help the general back to the room to rest. Then he called Amu to his side and asked about the things he had been given to him today.

Amu still reported the situation with a respectful face. After learning the details, Baili Qianyun frowned slightly, and he confirmed again: "Aqin and Achen are injured, are they?" Amu nodded.

Baili Qianyun looked at the void and was slightly distracted, his knuckles unconsciously buckled on the table, making a crisp sound, and he said to himself for a long time: "If the two of them are injured, they may not be able to protect Zuo Xiling's safety during this time." ”

Furrowing his eyebrows, Amu still looked extremely loyal and honest, and suddenly said loudly: "If the pavilion master is worried about this, you can send someone to replace it." "Although he is not usually a talker, his occasional advice is very reliable.

Nodding imperceptibly, a hint of approval crossed Baili Qianyun's eyes, and he smiled for a long time: "Then, this new candidate will be arranged by you." When the time comes, it will be up to you to take someone to hand it over. Amu was ordered to leave.

The next day, the weather was fine. In the academy, the sweepers were diligently sweeping the fallen leaves, accompanied by the sound of the wind and the occasional lazy birdsong. This place has always been quiet, but today, it seems to be a little different.

In front of the door, the slender black-clothed young man seemed to be a little excited, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked at the person in front of him: "I don't want to go!" Although he had suppressed his voice a little, it was still so abrupt when it sounded in this quiet academy.

Amu frowned slightly, signaling him to speak quieter. Ah Cen regained some composure, but still said resolutely: "Ah Qin and I will never agree." ”

The other people looked a little helpless. Amu's personality has always been steady, and this is the first time he really has a headache. Today, when he was supposed to take two newly elected guards and wanted to complete the handover unknowingly, he was accidentally seen by Achen, who went out to get medicine, and naturally there was another argument.

He really didn't expect that Azen and the others, who had obeyed Qianxi Pavilion before. There will be a day of disobedience, but now things have become a little difficult to handle.

Following. Zuo Xiling woke up from her sleep slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a somewhat unfamiliar plain veil, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then she realized that she was now in the academy.

After a brief freshening up, I went out for a walk twice, and found that it was surprisingly quiet and relatively few people. turned around for a long time, but never found Achen and Aqin, and even Lan Zhichu did not meet them.

She was a little uneasy in her heart, so she casually asked a sweeper, only to learn: "The dean went out early in the morning to run errands, and I don't know when I will return." "As for Aqin Achen, this old man doesn't know him at all, and he doesn't know where to go.

When I was bored, I suddenly heard a loud sound in my ears, which was very abrupt in the silence around me. She couldn't help but turn her head to look for it, only to see a few slightly familiar figures standing in front of a room not far away.

As they got closer, some fierce quarrels suddenly caught their ears: "All in all, we will never leave!" Zuo Xiling looked dazed, and was even more stunned when he saw the face of the speaker.

"Azen?" She was slightly surprised, and she had the impression that this young man, who didn't like to talk very much, had never been so out of shape.

Seeing her suddenly, several people who seemed to be arguing were also stunned, among which there were two familiar faces, Amu and Aqin. She remembered that Amu was a guard who Baili Qianyun trusted very much, and most of the visits were carried orders, so she couldn't help but look twice.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation, please continue." Zuo Xiling said apologetically, although he was quite curious about the reason for their quarrel, he knew that this was someone else's business and should not be asked too much.

Just as she was about to leave, Amu unexpectedly stopped her, and said with a helpless expression: "It's okay." This is about you. Without waiting for Zuo Xiling to be surprised, he sighed and slowly told the story of this matter.

"The pavilion master is worried that the original guards will not be able to protect you thoroughly, so he made this move." Amu followed up with another explanation.

Zuo Xiling opened his eyes slightly, and said in amazement: "So, you mean, you want me to change to a new guard?" ”

Several people fell silent. When Ah Qin saw Zuo Xiling, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he was eager to say something, but now he seemed to have scruples, and lowered his head and said nothing. A-Cen beside him also restrained his emotions, lowered his head and looked at the ground, his clenched fists trembling slightly. The two of them behaved as if they were waiting for Zuo Xiling to be sentenced to death.

In the end, Amu calmly responded. And the two new guards behind him kept their heads bowed deferentially and did not speak.

Zuo Xiling sighed lightly, and said for a while: "Thank you Pavilion Master for your kindness, but if I really want to change the guards, I will tell you Pavilion Master directly." So, please bring these two back. ”

As soon as these words came out, Aqin and Azen both looked up in shock! Amu's expression, which had always been unwavering, also changed slightly, and he was a little surprised: "This is what the pavilion master ordered." And Ah Qin, they are injured now, and it is difficult to protect you. ”

He repeated this passage, still very puzzled and a little hesitant. However, this time, Zuo Xiling still resolutely refused on the same grounds.
