Liu Qingxue put the sword into the sheath, then grabbed her coat in front of the door and put it on, and walked out, the sword hanging on the belt around her waist. Her sword is also rarely left of her body, "Wind Blowing Snow Ji" emphasizes agility and elegance, and ordinary iron swords are too heavy for her, so the sword in her hand is specially and secretly fought in the blacksmith shop in the city, the sword body is a few inches broken than ordinary swords, and it is thinner, which is more suitable for her body shape and wrist strength. She named herself "Snow Shadow".

Liu Qingxue came out and bumped into Chen Ye who was passing by the door. Liu Qingxue glanced up and down with an indifferent gaze at "Mr. Chen", who had to be honored from top to bottom of the Liu Mansion, and said, "Mr. Chen is also coming to the practice room?" Chen Ye looked a little thin, and in Liu Qingxue's opinion, it didn't match the image of a master of internal martial arts who was well-known. She has also practiced martial arts for many years, so she is naturally interested in the mysterious internal martial arts.

Chen Ye lowered his head, did not look at Liu Qingxue, and replied: "My subordinates are just passing by, and the young lady has misunderstood." ”

Hearing that Mr. Chen's practice of internal skills has achieved a small success, Qingxue was curious, and asked Mr. Chen to give advice. "There are hundreds of questions from the top to bottom of the Liu family, but presumably only Liu Qingxue dares to ask.

The young lady laughed, and her subordinates didn't dare to show their eyes in front of the young lady. ”

Liu Qingxue raised her eyebrows, and the sword in her hand stabbed out towards Chen Ye with the scabbard, such a close distance, and without warning, even if ordinary people noticed it, it was extremely difficult to avoid. However, Chen Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the scabbard, no matter how hard Liu Qingxue tried, the scabbard did not move at all.

Qing Xue was slightly surprised in her heart, and she was about to draw out her sword when she pulled back her right hand, but Chen Ye took a few steps back. After he saluted Liu Qingxue, he turned to leave, and the moment he turned around, Liu Qingxue didn't see the look in his eyes.

Liu Qingxue muttered secretly, this guy is really well hidden, thinking about when to compete with him, and he can also get a glimpse of the cultivation method of the internal martial arts.

It was almost winter, and the wind in the north was mixed with a biting chill, and Liu Qingxue couldn't help but wrap her coat tightly. She didn't plan to go back to her residence, so she wandered around the mansion casually. On the way, I met a few young children of the Liu family, and the two sides only greeted each other politely, obviously not close.

Liu Qingxue lowered her head, looked at the snowflakes on the tips of her shoes, and spit out bursts of white gas. Someone shouted not far away. She raised her head and saw Liu Binyuan running over with a smile on his face.

"Sister!" Liu Binyuan seemed to have run a long way, his face was flushed, but he didn't breathe much, he was carrying a bag of medicinal herbs and a few roast chickens, but he didn't see his coat, "My father didn't let me ride into the city, so I ran this far." ”

Saying that, he seemed to think of something, secretly glanced at Liu Qingxue, and hurriedly said, "Sister, what are you doing here?"

"Let's go. Where's your coat?" Liu Qingxue has always said little. Liu Binyuan is one of the few people she is close to, and when she saw Liu Binyuan, her indifferent face also stretched slightly.

"There are other uses. Liu Binyuan suddenly pretended to smile mysteriously at Liu Qingxue: "I found a big secret!"

"What is it?" Liu Qingxue's expression did not change, in her opinion, Liu Binyuan has always been a child's heart, she is actually not very interested, but she still casually asked along with Liu Binyuan's words.

Liu Binyuan ran away happily, and said, "I'm in a hurry, I'll tell you when the time comes!"

Looking at Liu Binyuan's back, the corners of Liu Qingxue's mouth unconsciously rose slightly. Then she wrapped her coat tighter and walked back.

......

It was getting dark outside, and Liu Heng stood by the stable, watching Liu Yuelei and his party return and dismount. When Liu Yuelei passed by, he bowed slightly, and consciously followed. Chen Ye also followed on the side.

Liu Yuelei didn't seem to be in a good mood, and his face was gloomy. Liu Heng and Chen Ye followed Liu Yuelei all the way into the Liu family's meeting hall, Liu Yuelei's expression had already said everything, Liu Heng opened his mouth and comforted: "It's not a way to find it this way, the whereabouts of this group of people are secretive, I suspect that they are not nearby at all, this attack is just an accident." ”

Liu Yuelei pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know what kind of creature they are attacking?"

Liu Heng was stunned, he hadn't been to the scene, he had only heard that it was a very fierce beast. Anyway, there are many strange creatures in the Northern Wasteland, and he doesn't think much about it, he, like Liu Yuelei, cares more about the mysterious people who haunt the Northern Wasteland.

Liu Yuelei looked at Chen Ye, and Chen Ye spoke at the right time: "Based on these huge traces, we suspect that it is a barbarian ape. ”

"Barbarian ape?" Liu Heng showed a look of horror on his face, "There are still people who want to hunt barbarian apes?" They have been based in the north for a long time, and the older generation naturally knows that the existence of barbarian apes is not just a legend. He was shocked that someone would actually fight the idea of a wild ape, and this wild ape still appeared on the outskirts of the Northern Wasteland.

"Looking at their special weapons, they must have been specially prepared for the brute apes. At present, it seems that it is the most likely to be a brute ape. If that's all there is to us. But I don't know what the people who have gone to such great lengths to hunt the apes have for my northern border. They were like a thorn in my heart, piercing me tightly. Liu Yuelei's expression was cloudy.

He looked at Chen Ye again: "I'll start searching in Yawan tomorrow." Since we can't find a hunter, let's see what the prey looks like. ”

Chen Ye responded and retreated at Liu Yuelei's signal. Only Liu Heng and Liu Yuelei were left in the room.

"How has Liu Qingxue's girl been lately?" Liu Yuelei was the first to speak.

Liu Heng had already reacted from the shock, and his expression was unpredictable at this time: "She has been practicing well recently. I have already taught her all the 13 styles of 'Wind Lifting Snow Ji', 'Wind Balance' and 17 types of 'Snow Kite'. She has a high level of understanding and makes rapid progress. ”

He dared to teach Liu Qingxue swordsmanship, naturally not because he wanted to disobey Liu Yuelei, but because he guessed this cousin's idea very accurately: a dignified and elegant woman is naturally the best candidate for marriage, but Liu Qingxue, who practices martial arts, may not be incompetent. As Liu Qingxue grew older, she became more and more slim, and although she had been practicing martial arts for many years, under the influence of her mother, she had never neglected to dress up, which was completely different from the rough image that Liu Yuelei had expected before. Liu Qingxue is eighteen years old, and she is already a beauty embryo. Therefore, Liu Yuelei acquiesced to Liu Qingxue to continue to "mess around".

It's just that Liu Yuelei, as the head of the Liu family, attaches great importance to face, and he has never said it in person, but he just knocked on Liu Heng's side and vaguely inquired about some news about Liu Qingxue.

"You still help me persuade her well, it's not a way for her to be so stiff with me, if she is still angry when it comes to the plan, it will be troublesome. Nothing can rise above the interests of the family. ”

"Yes. Liu Heng nodded.

Liu Heng saw that Liu Yuelei had a tired look on his face, so he took the initiative to retire. Exiting the door, he sighed softly, took only a few steps forward, and around the corner, a figure slowly walked by, wearing a beaded hairpin and dragging on the ground in a luxurious robe.

Liu Heng's heart jumped, and he saluted: "Madam." ”

Mrs. Liu obviously didn't expect to meet Liu Heng here, her face was a little surprised, and she also returned the salute dignified and generous. The two passed by, and there was no more to say, Mrs. Liu suddenly turned around and called Liu Heng: "Brother Heng stays." ”

Liu Heng stumbled under his feet, turned around, and lowered his head not to look at Mrs. Liu's eyes. Mrs. Liu asked softly, "I want to ask, how is Xue'er doing?"

"She's been doing well lately, and I've just reported to the lord that 'Wind and Snow Ji' have been taught to her, and what is left depends on Miss's own understanding and hard work. It's just that the young lady still refuses to mention the master, and the two must still be awkward. ”

Mrs. Liu let out a soft "ah" and said, "Xue'er's temperament follows her father, and she is very stubborn, and I can't listen to all my words." Both of them are hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and Brother Heng is sandwiched between their father and daughter, so they are naturally a little embarrassed, but Brother Lao Heng still has more to worry about. ”

Liu Heng nodded slightly and said, "Madame's words are serious, Liu Heng should obey." The two saluted again and turned their heads. Liu Heng couldn't walk a few steps, but suddenly stopped, and said in a low voice: "Even if there is no lady, for Xia Lanyu, I will do my best." “

Madame Liu suddenly stopped and froze in place. The two of them stood quietly with their backs to back, and after a long time, Mrs. Liu chuckled twice and said, "I haven't heard this name for a long time, and I really miss it very much." But after all this time, we are not what we used to be. See you next time, please call me Mrs. ”

Liu Heng smiled in response, and the two of them walked forward separately, gradually moving away.
