144, the big dream of Feisi.
Amon looked up and said, "No need! it's not that the girls are bad, it's just that I'm not interested." β
John shook his head and said: "General, don't say that, it's rare for me to ask you this time, how can you not handle things well? In the Eju officialdom, if you make such a statement on such an occasion, it means reprimanding your subordinates for their ineffective work!"
Amon sighed: "And this is exquisite? Okay, since I came with you today, I won't refute your face." β
The boss of the Records Academy said with a bitter face: "Lord John, all the most beautiful and moving girls we have here have been called by you, where can there be better?"
John glared and shouted, "Fart, don't think I don't know, I heard before I came, you have a top girl here, what is Themis Scarlet, known as the flower of Methfil, and you need to reward a divine stone for dancing a dance." I've wanted to see and see, why don't I let her come?"
The boss of the Records Academy looked embarrassed: "Lord John doesn't know, someone has made an appointment with Miss Themis in advance, and she is Lord Sheng Yi, the deputy director of the city-state finance department. He sent someone to greet him this afternoon, and in the evening he was going to entertain a group of distinguished guests here, and let the Scarlet Girl Themis sing and dance to entertain him. β
At this moment, John suddenly heard a thin voice come into his mind: "My captain of the guard, this is an order, you must let this girl come today." I'm going out with you, just to let people see me having fun in Monfils, and it's a good opportunity. Don't be afraid to offend those people, I'll take care of any trouble. β
Even if there was no secret order from Amon, John would have done so, because the deputy director of the Finance Department of the city-state of Monfils, Master Sheng Yi, mentioned by the owner of the Academy, had a grudge against him! The priest who had written to impeach John and was killed inexplicably was Sheng Yi's distant cousin, and Sheng Yi himself was the nephew of Prime Minister Eju, and he had his current status by virtue of his family background. At the time of John's accusation, the family was no less evil.
Now that he has received the order of the general, of course, John can't give up, he picked up the table knife on the table and gently trimmed his nails, stared at the owner of the Jiyuan and asked coldly, "Is Shengyi here?"
Diland was stared at by John's murderous eyes, and subconsciously took a step back and said, "Lord Shengyi hasn't arrived yet." β
John: "Then we came first, not unreasonable." Stop talking nonsense, call the 'Flower of Dreamfish'!"
Diland begged, "Lord John, it must be better if I call your friend another girl." As for Miss Themis today, I'm afraid that Master Shengyi will trouble us when she arrives. β
John picked up the knife and shook it in front of his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Whether he will trouble you or not, I don't know and don't bother to pay attention, that's your business." But if you don't do it now, I'm sure you'll be in trouble right away. I've been drinking all the time today, and I haven't made any trouble yet. β
As he spoke, he threw over a small leather bag, and Diland took it and opened it to see that it was full of divine stones. John snorted again, "Is it enough?"
Diland wiped his sweat and nodded again and again: "Enough, enough, it's more than enough to buy this incense hall!"
John nodded very gently: "In that case, I can demolish this place, right?" But I don't want to demolish it, and I want to keep this house for guests." β
The owner of the Ji Yuan went out with the money bag in his hand, and Amon turned his head with some curiosity and asked John: "There is also a girl here who is known as the flower of Mengfeisi, and she actually needs a divine stone to dance, isn't it too expensive!"
John laughed and said: "General, I know that ordinary women can't get into your eyes, think about it, only such a girl can make you move your heart, hahaha, why is she so famous, you can see it with your own eyes." β
At this time, the sound of musical instruments sounded behind the curtain wall, it was a small mallet beating the castantal, the rhythm was quite similar to the war drums of the march, there were a few majestic and solemn meanings, but in the here and now, the atmosphere was much soothed, and it invisibly made people feel refreshed. Beat the war drums in the courtyard, which one is this singing?
With the sound of war drums, a girl walked through the screen in front of the door, carrying a bright sword in her hand. The scene became more and more interesting, the girl from the Memory Academy actually entered the incense hall with a sword, and the person who came was the famous Flower of Dream Fit and Mis.
She is really different, the first thing she wears is more clothes than other girls, although it is also a corset crop top, but it is not just a small piece, but a corset shirt, and there is no curtain-like metal pendant hanging on her chest, revealing her soft shoulders and arms, her lower abdomen is tight, and her waist is graceful.
She didn't wear a veil, her eyes were tan, her eyes were as clear as spring water but a little cold, her facial features were very beautiful, and she had a hint of stubbornness. When she smiled, it was like the spring breeze melting the ice and snow, and she looked so gentle and charming. She walked to the carpet across the pool, saluted with the hilt of her sword in both hands and saluted with samurai etiquette, grinning.
Her smile was beautiful, but Amon frowned slightly. The girl was vaguely full of murderous intent, and there was a suppressed anger in her heart. Amon can sense the true emotions in the hearts of others, and she is obviously very dissatisfied with John and Amon's extraneous branches, but she hides it in her heart and does not show it. This made Amon a little strange, the girl in the courtyard was actually the same as any guest, and John gave a very large reward, why was she so angry?
Could it be that this Flower of Mengfei Si is the good friend of Master Shengyi, who is deliberately waiting for her lover to arrive tonight, thinking that Amon and John have disturbed her good deeds?
After Themis finished saluting, he began to dance his sword to the castanets like war drums, and Amon was really surprised. This girl is not holding a sword as a prop to shake the man, nor is it an ordinary dance, it is obvious that she will be a real martial artist, deliberately hidden in the dance, just to show the beauty of the combination of strength and softness.
There are quite few female practitioners of physical arts, and it is simply too rare to be able to turn martial arts into a sword dance, and to be able to show such a moving beauty, she is a real samurai, how did she become a girl in the courtyard?
Behind the curtain wall, the band blew their horns again, their horns and castanets alternating between them and the castanets, and Themis chanted in the sword danceβplease tell me that the gods are my light, my salvation, and the guarantee of my life.
Please tell me that in the light of the gods, I will not be afraid of the sword and spear of the enemy.
So who am I afraid of, who am I afraid of, and whose injuries will I suffer.
When the enemy's chariots and horses rushed forward, his heart was not afraid, and behind him was the great tent of Amun.
He had raised his head to his enemies, sacrificed himself to the gods, and listened to the chanting of the heavens.
O gods, the gods who save me, do not forsake your people.
I seek you, hear and have mercy, and do not hide your face from me.
Whose forsaken is this, whose sin are you forgiving? Strengthen my heart, and I will see you at last!
The more Amon listened, the more curious he became, and the more he watched, the more interested he became. This is not an ordinary song and dance, because the girl is performing real martial arts, and in this case, ordinary people don't talk about singing, and even talking will be out of breath. The Flower of Dreamfield had obviously been trained with great skill, and the movements of the sword dance were matched with the rhythm of the breathing, and such a poem was sung in a tactful and wonderful voice.
Last year's war brought about a martial spirit among the nobles of the country, and carrying swords is now fashionable in Monfils. According to the Eju Decree, it was forbidden to go out at night without permission in a city-state with weapons, and a gathering of more than 10 people carrying weapons was considered an attempt to rebel. But it is another thing to enforce a decree, and the guards who patrol the city usually turn a blind eye to the fashion when they see the nobles walking with swords, and no one cares about such idle matters.
This girl's face and figure are very beautiful, and she has such a moving singing voice, and the strong sword dance sets off the delicate shape of the body, which is completely different from other girls, more exciting, newer, more seductive, more mysterious, and more challenging. I searched all the major academies in the city of Mengfeisi, and I couldn't find a second girl like this, no wonder she was known as the flower of Mengfeisi.
Although her swordsmanship was nothing in the eyes of a great martial arts master like Amon, it was quite rare for an ordinary woman. Especially this singing and dancing kung fu is simply amazing, and Amon can't help but be fascinated. And John over there stared at Themis Scarlet, looking so fascinated that he forgot to close his mouth with a glass of wine in his hand.
The dozen or so girls around John were also beautiful, but they all pale in comparison to Themis Scarlet across the pool. They are like flowers sketched by a craftsman on a drawing board, and Themis is like a delicate stamen swaying in the wind of the field.
Amun is mentioned in the psalms sung by Themis. Amon is now a well-known hero of the Empire, and many bards have compiled his legend into poems and sung them around, and it is not surprising to hear one or two of them once in a while. It's just that the girl is not singing about Amon's exploits, but about a soldier in the army, and at the same time asking the gods about something, which seems to have a different meaning.
After a song, John was still stunned with his mouth open, Amon lightly high-fived and smiled: "This girl, your sword dance is very beautiful, but I can see that you are not showing real sword skills, because you are deliberately pursuing beautiful dance postures, so you have changed the rhythm and discipline of sword skills, in fact, it doesn't have to be like this." β
Themis was collecting his sword and bowing, and he raised his eyes curiously and asked, "Venerable lord, you must be an expert in swordsmanship, are you also proficient in singing and dancing?"
Amon smiled and shook his head, "I'm not proficient in singing and dancing, but I know what is the essence of sword intent." The truly exquisite swordsmanship can show the most perfect rhythm and posture, you don't have to deliberately look for it, and integrate the body and mind into the sword intent, which is the most beautiful sword dance. β
John finally came back to his senses at this time, and said with a smile: "Girl, you have met a real expert today." β
Amon patted the recliner next to him: "Come and sit and talk slowly, and have a glass of wine together." β
He asked Themis to stay with him, and tonight he finally stopped sitting alone. Themis smiled as she walked across the chest-deep pool to Amun, placing her sword on the table, and reaching for a cup. Amon picked up the flask and poured the girl a full glass of wine. can let the imperial general pour the wine with his own hands, even the city lord of Mengfeisi City does not have this treatment, but on this occasion, he is also in love.
Before this glass of wine reached his mouth, he heard a bang, someone knocked open the door of the incense hall, kicked over the screen in front of the door, pointed his sword at John and shouted angrily: "I was trying to settle accounts with you, and you dare to come to me today? You are looking for death!"
The person who came was Lord Shengyi, the deputy governor of the Finance Department of the city-state of Mengfeisi, and six days later it was the blessing ceremony of Isis, and many people had gathered in the city of Mengfeisi, among which there were many children of the family who had dealings with him, and he was here today to entertain a group of distinguished guests, and in the afternoon he had already greeted Themis for singing and dancing, but after arriving, Themis did not appear, and it was said that he was accompanying other guests.
This made Lord Shengyi very faceless, and called the boss to reprimand. Diland, the owner of the Academy, told him that Themis had told John to leave. Sheng Yi asked with a cold face, "Which John?"
Diland replied with a bitter face: "What else can it be, that John, who came back from the battlefield and was punished by being cut off." β
If someone else was okay, at the mention of this John, Sheng Yi was furious, drew his sword and rushed over. John has a grudge against him, and he has long wanted to settle accounts with John, but he has never met the opportunity. Shengyi's cousin Redros, who also eats, drinks, gambles, and plays with him since childhood, was killed in the capital more than half a year ago because of the impeachment of John.
Everyone thinks that John is the murderer, but there is no evidence, John is still at large, how can Sheng Yi swallow this breath? John drank too much and got into a fight in the courtyard not once or twice, and almost the entire nobles of Monfils City knew his spleen surname. Today, it was John who took the initiative to provoke a dispute with Sheng Yi to grab the girl, obviously deliberately looking for fault, so don't blame Sheng Yi for taking the opportunity to do it, if he doesn't die, he has to take half his life. Today's opportunity is too good, even if it spreads, it will be John who is making trouble in the Memory Academy, and he will consider himself unlucky if there are any consequences!
Sheng Yi thought it was good, but he didn't know the latest situation. He didn't know that John had been promoted to a great warrior, and he didn't know that John had served as the captain of General Amun's personal guard, thinking that John was still the down-and-out general who had been reprimanded by Pharaoh and thought about it.
As is customary, a samurai's promotion to the rank of Grand Samurai is celebrated by the city-state and an announcement is made. But when John was promoted, he happened to be punished by the city-state of the cape, and it was naturally inappropriate to hold the ceremony, neither the city of Mengfeisi nor the city-state of the cape made an announcement, and it was normal for Sheng Yi not to know about it.
When John returned to the city of Montfils, he followed George directly to Amun's territory, and no one saw him again, thinking that the general had no face to see, and he didn't know where to hide and think about it. Amon appointed John as the captain of the personal guard, and reported directly to the Eju military headquarters, and there was no need to ask for instructions and inform the city-state of Mengfeisi, of course, Sheng Yi, who was idle and did not do his job, had not heard of it.
However, these are not the most serious mistakes, and what is even worse is that this Lord Shengyi does not know Amon!
When he was in the temple of Isis, Amon lived in seclusion, and very few officials of the city-state knew him. He was promoted to the rank of Great Samurai, and the city lord once held a special celebration ceremony, but Sheng Yi did not go to the ceremony. Later, Amon returned to China with honors, and the nobles and adults in Mengfeisi City came to congratulate him, and Shengyi did not go to see the general.
Sheng Yi wanted to take the opportunity to clean up John today, and he was also worried that he was not an opponent alone, so he shouted in the hall: "John, the murderer of Redros, is here, and he deliberately provoked us, who will go with me to take revenge?"
The gang of dogs and foxes drew their swords one after another, and rushed over with Shengyi. Sheng Yi was the first to kick open the door and kick down the screen, and after scolding John, he pointed at Amon with his sword: "Where did you come from, you dare to rob me of a girl? I think you are also dead!"
As soon as he saw Sheng Yi carrying his sword into the door, Themis subconsciously put down his wine glass and reached out to pick up the sword on the table. Amon didn't even look at him, didn't even lift his eyelids, picked up the knife and waved it gently, and the handle of the knife hit Themis Scarlet's elbow steadily and accurately. The girl felt half of her body instantly numb, and involuntarily sat down again, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground.
Amon turned his head and smiled at John, "There are assassins." β
At the same time as he said this, John heard Amon's thin voice in his head: "Don't kill, break a leg lightly, and throw it into the street!"
The girls beside John just let out an exclamation, and then there was a flower in front of them, and John on the recliner and Sheng Yi in front of the door were gone. John was so fast that he jumped out of a chaise longue like a rampaging wolf, and dodged into the pool to the door. His feet rose into the air on the water, not even the soles of his shoes were wet, and the pool of floating petals seemed to be hit by an invisible energy, surging in circles of ripples.
Sheng Yi didn't even see Amon's face clearly, he felt that the back of his neck was tightened, and his whole body was weak and lost his strength, and the long sword fell to the ground, and it was carried out like a cloud.
...... That night, in front of the most luxurious courtyard in the city of Mengfeisi, an astonishing event took place. Sheng Yi, the deputy governor of the city-state's finance department and the nephew of the prime minister, was thrown into the street outside the door like a dead dog, and one of his legs was broken. The "distinguished guests" he entertained were also taken away from their weapons and thrown out one by one.
The perpetrator caused such a big disaster, but as if nothing happened, he still went back to drink with the girl in his arms.
Of course, there are samurai in the temple, and they are there to prevent people from getting into fights. But the nobles had a conflict, they didn't dare to interfere indiscriminately, both sides were responsible for hurting people, and it was not good for anyone to hurt anyone, and they could only watch John commit murder. Besides, with John's means, who is his opponent here?
Sheng Yi's companion kept scolding, but he didn't dare to do it again on the spot, and John took away all the weapons, and the other party was already merciful. had to carry the broken leg Shengyi into the car, and hurriedly returned to the mansion to find a medical officer to heal the wounds, they couldn't swallow this breath in their hearts, and called a group of warriors to kill Huijiyuan with many courageous weapons.
The guards who met along the way didn't dare to pay attention to them, but when they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they met a person who didn't buy it. As soon as this man gave the order, a large number of wolf-like soldiers pounced on them and disarmed all of them. A few of the guys didn't know what was going on, and they shouted, "Do you know who we are?
The man replied coldly, "I don't know who you are, but I should tell you who I am." I am the chief Grand Samurai of the Temple of Isis and the Legion of Isis. During the blessing ceremony of Isis, I was in charge of the security affairs of the city-state, and you are causing trouble for Lao Tzu, you know?"
A guard next to him asked, "Legion Commander, do you want to send these people to the city-state prison?"
Long Teng shook his head and said: "No, first take it to the barracks and lock it up, and when the blessing ceremony is over, it will be dealt with according to military law!"
The sentence "military law disposition" is too scary, and a few of the cowardly cowards almost didn't cry on the spot, and hurriedly admitted their mistakes and begged for mercy, deducing that they didn't mean to make trouble, because Lord Shengyi encountered a gangster here and broke his leg, and they came to catch the murderer. Long Teng didn't listen to the explanation at all, and waved his hand to order the guards to escort these people away.
Coincidentally, this great warrior was in charge of the security affairs of the city-state during the blessing ceremony, because there was an accident in the ceremony the year before last, and last year Eju had just fought a war with a neighboring country, so the public order of this year's ceremony needs to be paid special attention, and all kinds of affairs must be carefully arranged. Long Teng was busy all day, and naturally wanted to relax and relax at night, so he took his personal guards to inspect the courtyard, ready to go in to drink and hug the girl.
However, before he could reach the door, he saw a group of people being thrown out and shouting and leaving. The corps commander called the boss of the Jiyuan out to askβwho is fighting here tonight, why is it that even Lord Shengyi's leg has been broken?
This great samurai was also deliberately bad, he saw Sheng Yi, and also saw that he had broken a leg, but he didn't care about it at that time. The owner of the academy explained the cause and effect with a crying voice, it turned out that Master John accompanied a young man in his twenties to play, and the young man's vision was too high, and other girls couldn't look down on him, so he asked the flower of Mefex Themis to accompany the wine.
Lord Shengyi was going to entertain a group of distinguished guests tonight, and he had already greeted Themis with singing and dancing, thinking that John was deliberately finding fault, so he drew his sword and rushed into the incense hall, which could not be stopped. Later, General John was in a great rage, and Shengyi and his friends were all thrown out. Now General John and the young man were still drinking in the incense hall, and as if nothing was wrong, they ordered the man to change the screen that blocked the door.
As soon as Long Teng heard it, he knew that the guy next to John must be Amon, and Sheng Yi definitely didn't know Amon, otherwise he wouldn't dare to draw his sword and rush in to commit murder. Long Teng knew very well Shengyi's style and temper, and he would definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss, he simply didn't enter the Ji Yuan, he waited at the door with the guards, and sure enough, he was blocked again.
