Liu Bin said in his heart that it was indeed a spiritual creature, but it was completely different from those beasts with brute strength and hideous faces. Stop some distance away from the ape, and then throw a few snow hare in your hand far away to the ape. The ape's eyes lit up, and he didn't even wait for those snow rabbits to land, he stretched out a big hand to catch one, and didn't do much to deal with it, grabbing the snow rabbit and stuffing it into his mouth, making a "click" chewing sound, as well as the sound of bones breaking, which made Liu Binyuan quite frightened.

There were three snow rabbits in total, and the ape was wiped out in a moment, obviously starving, and it was curled up here, naturally unable to find food. When it raised its head again, its eyes became calm, and it looked at Liu Binyuan and let out a few dull roars.

Liu Binyuan naturally didn't understand, he thought about it for a while, pointed to the broken bones spit out by the brute ape on the ground, and gestured: "Do you still want it?"

The ape's expression was completely different from before, and at this time, it seemed to be a well-behaved cat. It's just that the wound on its abdomen is still shocking, and the blood is flowing all the time, making it look very haggard.

Liu Binyuan's heart moved, got up and tried to get close to the ape, the ape's originally well-behaved face suddenly showed a look of vigilance, and let out a few high-pitched roars unique to apes, but it didn't move, staring at Liu Binyuan, watching him slowly approach.

Liu Binyuan walked in front of the ape, looking at this huge figure, and felt a little stunned. He didn't have a bow in his hand, and it was easy for the ape to pinch him to death now, but fortunately, although the ape was alert, he didn't attack. Liu Binyuan looked at the wound on the ape's abdomen, tore off a strip of cloth from the clothes on his body, and wanted to help the ape bandage it.

However, to his embarrassment, he found that the ape's body was far wider than he had imagined, and a strip of cloth was completely insufficient. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, and simply took off his whole coat, then tore it into several pieces, and wrapped it around the ape's waist twice.

When he raised his head, he met the big eyes of the brute ape, and there was no hostility. He smiled and said, "Wait until I'll get back." Regardless of whether the ape could understand it or not, he retreated and climbed up to the entrance of the cave, and rode away.

The Liu family's practice room is not near the martial arts arena in Shuofang City, but in the southwest corner of the Liu family's mansion, very close to the residences of the clan members, and there are only four heaven and earth Xuanhuang in total. This is the place where the Liu clan teaches martial arts, and the Liu family's "wind and snow ji" is the ancestral swordsmanship, which is one of the important reliance of the Liu family in the north, so the Liu family attaches great importance to the inheritance of martial arts, which is also the main function of the practice room.

There are no superfluous furnishings in the practice room, only a painting is hung on the wall in the middle, which reads vigorously and vigorously: "Wu"! The gesture is majestic and looks very domineering. In the middle of the practice room, there are two figures, one brown and one blue, each holding a sword, the body is agile, or rushing forward or moving horizontally, and from time to time there is a sonorous sound of swords connecting with each other.

Liu Qingxue's wrist flipped over, and the sword in her hand blocked left and right, blocking the opponent's attack. She was dressed in blue and had no wind and no wind, and her beautiful face had an indifferent expression, but the serious look in her eyes showed her concentration.

The brown figure suddenly took a step to the left, turned his body, dodging Liu Qingxue's attack, and then with the rotation of his body, the sword in his right hand crossed an arc and slashed diagonally from the bottom to the top, which was a "shocking snow" in "Wind and Snow". This timing was chosen very accurately, and it was when Liu Qingxue struck a shot, her breath was exhausted, and she was powerless to defend herself.

Seeing that the sword was about to stab Liu Qingxue, Liu Qingxue had no intention of retracting the sword to defend, she followed the sword momentum sent forward, her waist was forced, her slender body was slightly deviated, and she floated forward like a feather, and she would flash past the opponent's sword blade and stand firmly a few steps away.

The other party retracted his sword momentum and showed a satisfied look, "I thought that you wouldn't be able to dodge this move nine times out of ten, and I was going to stop, but I didn't expect you to be able to dodge it so skillfully." You've really made a lot of progress during this time. ”

Liu Qingxue also put away the sword, the hilt of the sword was facing upward, and her hands were slightly waved in front of her chest: "Uncle Cousin has won the prize." Qingxue knows that she is stupid, so she naturally has to practice more. ”

Liu Yuelei's cousin Liu Heng looked at the indifferent look on Liu Qingxue's face, and he didn't care, he hesitated a little, and then he said, "Your father...... I think you're happy with your progress. Liu Qingxue's face suddenly darkened, but soon returned to normal.

Liu Heng looked at this niece, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although the Liu family dominates one side, it is only a local force after all, and there is still a lot of gap between it and the real nobles, plus the northern border is remote, the people are fierce, and people outside the northern border talk about the Liu family in private, just like looking at a landlord and a local tyrant, and they can't be on the stage. Successive heads of the Liu family have been very troubled by this situation.

The "East China Sea Rebellion" decades ago made the then fashionable and young Liu Yuelei firm in his desire to change the situation. At that time, the war in the east was in turmoil, and the Longyuan Dynasty was in danger, and all the princes were in danger and paid close attention to the war situation in the east, but only the royal family sent troops to support, and the rest of the princes remained silent. However, the Liu family wanted to take the opportunity to gain prestige, establish military exploits, and strive for the position of a prince, so they sent an army to support the eastern border.

After receiving reinforcements from the north and Zhongzhou, the power of the East China Sea gradually showed a decline, and a young general in the north at that time sealed the sword north because of his outstanding military achievements, and the Zhongzhou general Duan Xinnan was called the "North and South Double Sword", which was well-known to the world. Under their offensive, they finally drove the six domains of the East China Sea out of the eleven states of Longyuan.

However, the Liu family, who suffered a lot of losses in the war, did not receive gifts or rewards from the royal family, because according to the establishment, the northern army belonged to the border army of the dynasty and was not dispatched by the Liu family. At that time, the young Liu Yuelei understood that if the Liu family wanted to participate in the power game of the entire Longyuan Dynasty, they had to solve this problem.

And decades later, when his eldest daughter Liu Qingxue was born, he seemed to have found a solution: marriage. Only marriage can allow the Liu family to have an aristocratic background, so that the Liu family can have enough say in the entire Longyuan Dynasty.

Liu Yuelei wanted to train Liu Qingxue into a successful lady, but he seemed too anxious. Liu Qingxue received her first etiquette class at the age of four, and in the following years, poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were added to her schedule. When she was a child, Liu Qingxue was really not happy, and she was surrounded by several gentlemen and masters every day, one head and two big. It wasn't until she was eleven years old that her naughty younger brother Liu Binyuan took her to watch a martial arts competition in the martial arts arena, and she suddenly became interested in these things that danced and played with swords. In fact, she can't say that she loves it much, but compared to the aristocratic etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting she learns day and night, she prefers this kind of vigorous and fresh skills.

Shuozhou is still martial, and it is not uncommon for women to practice martial arts in the north, but Liu Yuelei can't allow Liu Qingxue to deviate from his plan. This creates a gap between father and daughter. Liu Yuelei was afraid that Liu Qingxue would become a big and unkempt tomboy, so he ordered her not to practice martial arts, but Liu Qingxue was surprisingly stubborn. Young people always have such a rebellious nature, she began not to go to those schools tailored for her, but often slipped away to places such as martial arts arenas and city markets. Liu Yuelei was furious when he found out, and locked Liu Qingxue in his residence for a month on the spot for introspection, and was not allowed to enter or leave.

It's just that the more ruthlessly Liu Qingxue is suppressed, the stronger her resistance will be. Liu Yuelei and Liu Qingxue talked in detail several times, but with little effect. As she got older, her relationship with her father became more and more stiff, and after she and Lu, the relationship between the two reached a freezing point. Liu Yuelei still arranged these etiquette courses, and Liu Qingxue didn't go most of the time. Although they live in the Liu family's mansion together, the two have not seen each other for some days, if it weren't for their mother, Mrs. Liu, who often protects Liu Qingxue, I'm afraid it will be worse. Due to the majesty of the head of the Liu Yue Lei family, the Liu family did not dare to get too close to Liu Qingxue, and Liu Qingxue's personality became more and more indifferent.

In the entire Liu family, only Liu Heng dared to teach Liu Qingxue "Wind and Snow Ji", as Liu Yuelei's cousin, although his seniority was a little lower, but his deceased wife was the big boss of the largest business house in Shuozhou, with this relationship, he also had a lot of prestige in the Liu family. And Liu Yuelei didn't know why, but he had always turned a blind eye to the matter of him teaching Liu Qingxue's swordsmanship, and he never asked.

"Let's get here today, and you can go back and rest. With mixed thoughts, Liu Heng put them behind him, and left on his own.
