Half a month later, Xiao Yan heard the latest news from his brother that Kelsang Dama, the second son of Tubo Zanpu and the king of the Qingtang Dynasty, had entangled his forces and pulled up the anti-flag, saying that Tenzang was a false edict as the king, and that Chide Songtsan was actually the one who set up him, and that Princess Changle Jiaqing exposed Tenzan Ji's edict and was assassinated by Tenzan Gee, and framed him. Of course, Tenzin Ji didn't admit it, saying that Gesang Dama was a wolf with ambition and assassinated the princess in an attempt to provoke Tang Fan to turn against him, so as to plot to seize the throne in chaos...... In short, it was a mess, and the two sides had already fought a battle under Nian Qingshan. The border states of Yundian Road, Jiannan Road, Xining Road, and Hexi Province adjacent to Tubo in Datang have all been on alert, and the armies of the four provinces are rapidly gathering.

The angels sent by the Chang'an court have already sent an edict to Tubo to hold them accountable, and it is estimated that they will fight for a while in Luo, and then whether they will fight or be peaceful and friendly depends on the sincerity of the Tubo people.

It is said that His Majesty the Emperor was very grief-stricken, holding the urn of his beloved daughter, and fainted.

His Majesty the Emperor was old, and he was so sad that he couldn't get up from the couch, and the imperial doctor went one after another.

The real murderer of the princess is really a heinous crime.

"So, Tubo is going to cut the meat this time. Otherwise, how to make up for the sadness of the Tang Emperor? Xiao Cong said.

"So, the saint is blackmailing?"

"How is it blackmail?" Xiao Cong smiled slightly, "The princess was assassinated by the prince of Tubo, whether it was Kelsang Dama or Tenzengji, it was the Tubo people who did it anyway." ”

Xiao Yan looked at his brother's slightly smiling face, and suddenly felt blessed in his heart, and glared: "This matter can't be done by Princess Changle Jiaqing alone, right?" "First set up a condom for Gesang Dama to get into, and then let Gesang Dama and Dan Duoji eat dogs, Datang sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, and by the way, he reprimanded him, and then made a compensation fee, all he paid was a princess's fake death, and it was likely that he faked his death and ran to hook up with his lover.

No matter how you think about it, the Tubo people have been pitted.

Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Who knows? ”

That's it.

Xiao Yan said in his heart, my brother and sister love to talk in circles, they really pull strings and teeth, and they have a toothache.

She went back to talk to her mother, saying that she didn't know if Datang would fight with Tubo, with a look of expectation and regret, looking forward to a battle, and regretting that she couldn't participate in a battle.

Shang Qing flipped through a copy of "Lingnan Strange Chronicles" in his hand and asked her, "Is the Kwai water clean?" ”

Xiao Yan is Kwai Shui from the day before yesterday, and it was already cleaned yesterday, she felt that her mother's topic jumped so much, and nodded back: "It's clean." ”

Shang Qing raised his eyes and glanced at her, "If you go to the battlefield, remember to prepare a few more sunflower water belts, just in case, even if you can't use it, it's good to bandage the wound." ”

“……”

Xiao Yan felt that he had a toothache, "Mother, I'm going to practice the knife." "Jumped up and ran.

Shang Qing was very satisfied, and estimated that Xiao Wunian would not mention the war again for two months.

Xiao Yan has a sense of oppression in his heart, time is running out, even if Datang and Tubo don't fight this year, but what about next year and the year after next? Opportunity only favors those who are prepared.

She thought to herself that she had to at least defeat Xiao Chengzhong before she had the confidence to say that she would join the army.

Two days have passed in a blink of an eye, that is, the third day of the third month of March, it is the Shangsi Festival, and it is the Spring Bathing Festival, the men and women of the scholar family have to bathe on this day, and then go to the river together, clear water and wet arms, and do the play of flowing water. The most famous Qushui Liuzhen in Hezhou is the Yuling River in the north of the city, there is a half-moon island in the center of the river, which is shaped like the next quarter moon, wrapping the river into a half-enclosed lake bay, which is suitable for the ladies and ladies of Lang Jun to do the play of Qushui Liuzhen. This kind of elegant Wenhui Lanling Xiao's children have always been coquettish. Xiao Yan came over on the ninth day of the first month, and Duan Yan said that it was a pity that Seventeen Langjun did not go, and how the literary brilliance of the prince was overwhelming. Xiao Yan laughed when he heard it, although he regretted that he couldn't witness his brother's demeanor, he didn't regret that he had been practicing knives all day.

Industry is good at diligence and frolic, and only when there is talent and sweat can there be the possibility of success - Xiao Yan does not dare to slack off.

Spring is not over after March in Hexi, and it is still spring in April. Xiao Yan moved to Jingyuan Lake to practice his knife, and the volley knife qi could cut off the willow silk a zhang away.

After May, there is a shadow of early summer in Hexi, and there is more rain in Hezhou. Xiao Yan practiced knives in the rain by the lake, and the rain was impervious when the knife qi was dense.

In June, the weather is hot, and the courtyard knows that the cicadas are singing endlessly. Xiao Yan covered his eyes with a silk ribbon, stepped on the tree, and the knife came out, and the knife qi accurately hit the cicada on the tree. More than a dozen fell in a row, and the courtyard was quiet.

She floated down, like a light leaf, landed silently, ripped off the ribbon, raised her slender eyebrows like a knife, smiled highly, and said to her mother under the corridor: "Mother, can I challenge Xiao Chengzhong?" ”

Shang Qing shouted: "Shang Qi." ”

Shang Qi floated in from the outer courtyard like a ghost, and saluted respectfully, "Lady." ”

Shang Qingdao said: "Shang Qi said that you can go, so you can go." The light cyan sleeves hung down, like a light cyan cloud, and slowly floated back to the study.

Shang Qi smiled, pointed, like a roc spreading his wings, and swept out from the top of the corridor of the inner courtyard.

Xiao Yan also tiptoed and swept out from the top of the corridor.

When he got out of the outer courtyard, he saw Shang Qi standing under a pine tree more than a dozen zhang away, holding a wooden knife in his right hand.

Xiao Yan jumped over, his footing was not stable, Shang Qi had already slashed with a knife, a very simple chopping knife in the five elements of the knife, the strong wind was whistling, brave and strong, but the knife wind was perfectly controlled in a range, and the green grass was not affected by this knife wind at all.

The mellow control of the internal force of this hand alone made Xiao Yan admire.

The ebony horizontal knife was raised, and the two knives "pounced" and struck.

Xiao Yan only felt a strong influx from Shang Qidao, she didn't use the word removal trick, and deliberately compared the internal strength with Shang Qiyi.

She wanted to see how far she was from Shang Qi in terms of internal strength cultivation.

Two majestic internal forces collided.

Xiao Yan kicked and kicked out seven and a half steps.

Shang Qi put away his knife, "Xiao Lang can take my three points, and he can already fight with Xiao Chengzhong." ”

Xiao Chengzhong is in the early stage of the fusion realm.

Xiao Yan is now the Great Perfection of the Zhou Tian Realm, and she is only one step away from breaking through the Fusion Realm, but after her meridians and acupoints have been broadened and quenched to remove impurities, the amount of internal qi that can be contained is higher than that of people in the same realm, and the internal force is more condensed.

Shang Qidao: "Xiao Lang and Xiao Chengzhong fight, or they can break through and enter the fusion realm. The horizontal knife combat technique is to sharpen the knife with battle, and it is beneficial to fight a few more fights. He smiled and saluted Xiao Yan, and went with a knife to Shi Shiran.

Xiao Yan looked at his back.

She couldn't see through Shang Qi's martial arts realm, which showed that she was at least two levels higher than her. Above Zhou Tian's realm is the fusion realm, and above the fusion realm is the ascending extreme realm, she suspects that Shang Qi is ascending the pole realm, and the internal cultivation has reached the point of reaching the peak and perfecting the fire.

The doubts hidden in my heart floated again, with a doctor like Qi Niang by my mother's side, and a master of the Ascending Realm like Shang Qi as a servant, is she really just a lady from a broken family?

She looked up at the white puffy clouds in the sky.

She sometimes feels that her mother is like a cloud in the sky, she can see it, but she can't touch it.

Sometimes I feel that my mother is like a light ink landscape, I can only experience the artistic conception, but I can't understand it.

Mother, who is it?

The thirteen-year-old girl has a faint sorrow, which does not come from doubts about her mother's background. No matter what her identity is, it's her mother. It's just that her mother sometimes gives her a feeling of "emptiness", which makes her a little uneasy...... It's like the word "snow" carved by my mother, ethereal and elegant, and when I hold it in my hand, it is also a piece of nothingness.

But Xiao Yan's faint sorrow only lasted for a while, and then it was illuminated by the June sun.

Under the sun, jewel-like eyes

, a bright light flows.

She was upset because she was weak.

"Only the weak are afraid of the unknown." That's what Mother said.

Only the strong are fearless.

Xiao Yan opened her eyes to meet the sun, tomorrow, she will defeat Xiao Chengzhong.

The next day, June 25, was the day of her martial arts class. She didn't wear a short brown, she wore a blue round neck with narrow sleeves and a lack of hips, and an autumn water knife tied on the leather belt around her waist, standing in the pavilion listening to the wind, like a young green pine and cypress, with a beautiful and high-spirited posture.

She slowly drew her sword and gave Xiao Chengzhong a challenging samurai salute, holding the knife in her right hand, the tip of the knife pointing obliquely, "Xiao Guard, please advise!" ”

Xiao Chengzhong's thick eyebrows raised, and he solemnly pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, "Seventeen Langjun, please." ”

Xiao Yan's right hand Qiushui knife pointed obliquely at Xiao Chengzhong, and his eyebrows were bright and Yinghua, "Xiao Guard, please." "Let him go out first.

"Seventeen Lang-kun, be careful." Xiao Chengzhong was not polite, he jumped up first, and a goose fell from the top to split obliquely, straight to the head and face.

Xiao Yan's dantian is angry, breathing like flowing water, and the knife follows his arm and fingers, and his momentum is huge. A horizontal raised eyebrows, just upwards to meet the flying geese. The two knives met, making a crisp sound, and the knives collided with each other, and both sides were as steady as a rock, and this move was evenly divided.

"Seventeen Langjun is so strong!" Xiao Chengzhong praised loudly, no longer left his hand, and carried up the ten successes, and the snow blades, like white waves, swept wave after wave.

This trick is a thousand heavy snow waves.

Xiao Yan pointed straight forward with the knife in his right hand, and his body rushed into the waves along with the knife. "Pointing straight at the knife, stepping through a thousand waves!" This move is to break the waves. In a series of sonorous sounds, the two of them slashed, flirted, collapsed, poked, stabbed, wiped, and slashed...... The fierce sword wind collided together, like two storms and huge waves colliding together, impacting and strangling.

The two of them fought from the pavilion to the outside of the pavilion, and the yellow mud flew over. All of them are fast and fast, the knife is solid, and the hard is hard, and there is no half-point trick to avoid. The energy is intense, and there is almost no good thing around.

"Khooth!" There was another clang, two knives clashed, and the two forces collided vigorously, and both of them couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Xiao Chengzhong's heart was shocked, although he taught Xiao Yan the knife technique, but both sides of the usual sword practice have converged their strength, but he didn't expect that the seventeenth Langjun, who would be completely released, was not inferior to him in terms of internal strength - you know, he is still a small step higher in the realm.

Xiao Chengzhong's face was solemn, and he said, "Seventeen Langjun, be careful!" The momentum of the whole body changed suddenly.

With a knife in both hands, he slashed forward.

This knife is full of decisive killing and indomitable momentum, as if there is a kind of powerful power that can split the heavens and the earth. This knife is not only a knife technique and cultivation, but more importantly, a kind of potential, a kind of momentum that comes out of life and death on the battlefield.

This kind of potential is exactly what Xiao Yan lacks.

Her eyes lit up, and she also slashed a knife.

The tip of the knife rotated at an extremely high speed, causing the surrounding air currents to make a whistling sound, forming a whirlpool of air waves that rotated at high speed.

Xiao Chengzhong's knife was a mountain split.

Xiao Yan's knife is the sea.

When splitting the mountain meets the sea, Jinba's knife qi slashed into the sea, and was immediately surrounded and twisted by the whirlpool of the waves, and the "boom" burst out, and the two were shocked out at the same time. Xiao Yan's back hit an ancient pine straight up, and with a "click" broke the trunk of the tree that he was hugging with his arms together, and a dull pain appeared in his chest, and he had already suffered internal injuries. Xiao Chengzhong was no better than her, and when he fell out, a blood line was drawn in mid-air, and it was a mouthful of blood that he spurted.

Xiao Chengzhong's sleeve wiped the blood stains on his lips, and he smiled and said, "Happy!" It's a great day! It's been a long time since I've had such a good fight. The backhand put the knife into the sheath and said, "The villain lost." He was half as inferior in the competition of internal strength.

Xiao Yan rubbed his chest and stood up, shook his head and said, "It's Xiao Guard's concession." "No matter how familiar she is with her sword skills, it is not as subtle as Xiao Chengzhong's tempering through life and death actual combat, not to mention that she also has experience and skills against the enemy, and these Xiao Chengzhong have not used it, it can be said that today's battle is mainly based on strength.

Xiao Chengzhong said seriously: "The villain has done his best, and defeat is defeat." He also said, "Seventeen Langjun has mastered the moves of the horizontal sword combat technique, and what he lacks is only the accumulation of actual combat and experience. He felt that he had nothing to teach anymore, and wondered if he would teach Seventeen Langjun from Xiao Huaizhong?

Suddenly, seeing Xiao Yan sitting down cross-legged, the surrounding heaven and earth vitality seemed to suddenly riot, surging towards her, and soon formed a vortex of vitality, roaring around her.

Xiao Chengzhong looked surprised and delighted: This is about to break through?!

He turned around and saw that Mrs. Shizi was walking along the pine forest with two maids, who should have been drawn out of the forest medicine garden by the sound of fighting. He turned around and walked forward quickly, and saluted, "Young lady." ”

Shen Qingyi looked at the wolfish scene of the trees and grass in front of him, and then looked at Xiao Yan, who was cross-legged and knee-crossed, "Learn? ”

"Yes." Xiao Chengzhong replied, "Thirty-six tricks with Seventeen Langjun." ”

Shen Qingyi's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, "What's the result?" ”

"The villain is defeated."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yan's body suddenly erupted with momentum, and the pressure around him suddenly became heavy, and Shen Qingyi and the green leaves and red peony behind him all felt suffocated. Xiao Chengzhong immediately blocked in front of them, split out two palms, resisted the pressure, and turned back to Shen Qingyi and said: "Seventeen Langjun is breaking through, please young lady step back, so as not to be caught by the strength when she broke through." ”

Shen Qingyi took the second maid and turned back more than twenty steps away, only to feel that the suffocating pressure had been reduced.

Listening to the sound of "poof, puff", Xiao Yan was torn down by a pine tree within ten steps.

Qinghui and red peony were dumbfounded.

Shen Qingyi frowned slightly, and there was a hint of concern in his eyes.

Xiao Yan's bones suddenly made a crackling sound, as if the torrential rain in June hit the roof of the tiles, which made people feel a little frightened.

Xiao Chengzhong turned sideways slightly, and said to Shen Qingyi: "Seventeen Langjun This is a breakthrough in the advanced fusion realm, and the bones, muscles, muscles and bones of the whole body must be quenched by internal qi from the inside and outside. After quenching the body, the strength of the body and internal organs will be better than before. ”

Shen Qingyi hummed, slightly relieved in his heart.

After about half an hour, the crackling sound of Xiao Yan's whole body stopped.

After a few breaths, she opened her eyes.

The black eyes are like washed black pearls, black and clear, like pearls under the sun, shining and refracting the blurry light, lining her perfect facial features, which makes people suffocate for a moment.

Chi Shao was stunned, Qinghui was more determined than her, and her heart stopped for a moment.

Xiao Chengzhong tried to look away, hugged his fists and saluted, and said, "Congratulations to Seventeen Langjun!" ”

Xiao Yan jumped up, and his smile was even brighter, "Thank you to Guard Xiao." If it weren't for your last 'mountain split', I wouldn't have broken through so quickly. ”

Xiao Chengzhong only felt that the brilliance of Lang Jun in front of him was really scorching, and he lowered his head slightly and said: "Seventeen Lang Jun's breakthrough is a matter of time, and the villain just happened to help." ”

"Thank you so much." Xiao Yan said with a smile, her internal injuries had been healed when she was advanced, so she cared about Xiao Chengzhong, "Xiao Guard's guard should have also been slightly injured in that battle, today's martial arts class is here, you go back to heal first, don't delay." ”

Xiao Chengzhong answered, turned around and saluted Shen Qingyi who came over, and retreated.

"Sister." Xiao Yan greeted Shen Qingyi with a smile.

Qinghui and Red Peony saluted her.

Shen Qingyi looked at her and teased her first: "Why don't you wear your martial arts training uniform?" ”

Xiao Yan smiled and showed a mouthful of crystal white teeth, "Please ask Xiao Guards for advice today!" In the future, if you go out, you can't always wear short brown, and get used to it in the morning. "Say, she

With a look of excitement, "Sister, I'm advanced." ”

Shen Qingyi smiled: "Well, I also defeated Xiao Chengzhong." ”

Xiao Yan's eyebrows flew and he laughed, Bai Yu's face was still flushed, lined with blue robes, which suddenly made Shen Qingyi think of "scorching hibiscus out of green waves" - what a young man is stunning.

She turned her eyes, looked at the green pine lying on the ground, and raised her chin, "How to pay for this?" ”

Xiao Yan sighed, stepped forward and pushed Shen Qingyi out, and said, "Sister didn't see anything." ”

The green leaves and red peonies chuckled.
