Chapter 052 | The three swords of the tongue are pierced, and the Vietnamese army is sworn to turn the front

After Zhang Yi slowly withdrew, the fencing hall was silent, and no one spoke. All the swordsmen, including Lun Qi, Ben Cheng, Ruan Yinglong, Lu Palm, etc., all set their sights on the boundless.

Wujiang closed his eyes for a moment, and turned to the swordsmen: "The Central Plains Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, swordsmanship is unfathomable, Zhang Zi is here, it is an excellent opportunity for us to learn swordsmanship." Wujiang invites all swordsmen to take it seriously, and after three days, the widow will compete with him! ”

The swordsmen retreated as promised.

Wujiang turned to several important ministers: "This Zhangzi, do you have a comment on Aiqing?" ”

Ruan Yinglong took a step forward: "Returning to the king, the last general thinks that this person's words are strong, and his swordsmanship may not be good." The last general is not talented, and his head should be taken within ten moves! ”

Wujiang glanced at him, and his gaze turned to Ben Cheng: "Ben Aiqing, what do you think of this person?" ”

Ben Cheng responded: "Looking at this person's temperament, I think there are some means. Judging by this person's demeanor, he does not look like a person who learns swords. Chen thought that this person was either a top master, or he didn't know how to do swordsmanship. ”

Wujiang thought so, and turned to everyone: "That's the end of today, you go, the widow is going to bathe and fast." ”

Everyone present knew that only when they encountered a great enemy, Wujiang would bathe and fast, so they glanced at each other and said goodbye.

When he was about to walk to the stage, Lun Qi called Ruan Yinglong: "General Ruan stays!" ”

Ruan Yinglong paused and turned to look at Lun Qi: "What does the national teacher command?" ”

"My army is ready to sail, but this person is coming to the door at this time to compete with swords, and his intentions are suspicious!"

Ruan Yinglong responded: "A swordsman who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, what other intentions can he have?" ”

"I am about to fight, this man will not come sooner or later, and if he asks to see the king at this time, he will have a plan. Also, in the past few days, the old man felt that there was a murderous aura lurking here, so people inquired, and sure enough, he found that there was an unknown swordsman haunting here, and his movements were suspicious! ”

Ruan Yinglong was stunned: "The national teacher is saying..."

Lun Qi nodded: "The old man suspects that this person is a spy of the Qi people in order to hinder the progress of my army." ”

Ruan Yinglong gasped and looked up at Lun Qi: "If this is the case, the last general will kill him!" ”

"No," Lun Qi shook his head, "Since the king has agreed to fight with him in three days, how can he be willing to do so if he doesn't see this person?" Besides, since this person dares to come, he must have the means. If he is not careful, will the general not be plotted by him? ”

"What is the wisdom of the national teacher?"

Lun Qi brushed his beard and whispered a few words to Ruan Yinglong, and Ruan Yinglong nodded again and again: "Well, that's very good." No matter how good his swordsmanship is, he can't stop my 10,000-thousand-crossbow salvo! ”

"Alas," Lun Qi shook his head and sighed, "this is also a last resort, and you must be careful not to hurt the king, and do not let the king know." If this person is really the first sword in the Central Plains, and the king is defeated, he can be shot to death with arrows. If this person is just a stubborn pustule, the king will dispose of it himself. ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

In the next three days, Zhang Yi never touched the sword for a day, taught the fragrant girl to practice the piano with a smile during the day, and read the book at night.

Boundless retribution, even more surprised, more and more convinced that Zhang Yi is a real kendo master, both surprised and happy. On the morning of the fourth day, Wujiang bathed and changed clothes, put on sword clothes, and came to the sword hall early, so that Lu Brown drove Wang Yuan to meet Zhang Yi.

When Wang Yin arrived, Zhang Yi was trying on a sword suit in the hall. The sword suit was made by Jing Sheng's heavy gold hired people within three days, the whole body was plain white, the materials were exquisite, Zhang Yi was already chic, the sword suit was on his body, and he was even more heroic.

Zhang Yi admired the mirror for a while, and then turned to the fragrant girl: "Xiangnu, do you see the fit?" ”

Because of Lu Brown's presence, the fragrant girl wanted to say nothing, she didn't dare to cry, there were tears in her eyes, and it was not easy to show it, so she had to nod slightly and don't turn her face.

Zhang Yi turned to Jing Sheng and said with a smile: "Brother Jing, go here to learn kendo with the king, you accompany the incense girl in this inn, remember, you are not allowed to go anywhere!" ”

Jing Sheng nodded: "The villain listens to his uncle's orders." ”

Zhang Yi turned to Lu Brown and arched his hand: "Lord Lu, please!" ”

Lu Brown was stunned for a moment and reminded him, "Uncle, where is your sword?" ”

"Sword?" Zhang Yi spread his hands and asked him with a smile, "What's the use of a sword?" ”

Lu Brown was shocked: "Didn't you go to compete with the king?" ”

"Do you have to bring a sword to compete with a sword?" Zhang Yi smiled slightly and strode out.

Lu Brown followed behind him suspiciously, and was about to get into the car, Jing Sheng caught up, pulled Lu Palm aside, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu, my uncle is here, in case anything happens, I hope that my lord will go around." ”

"Mr. Jing," Lu Brown smiled bitterly, "Uncle is making a big fuss, and his strength is weak, so it's really difficult to maneuver." ”

"I know," Jing Sheng was anxious, "If the situation is dangerous, can you tell you?" ”

"That's it," Lu Brown thought for a moment, "you find a hidden place to wait in the audience." Then he turned around and shouted and set off.

Surrounded by dozens of guards, Wang Yuan walked away.

Zhang Yi and Lu Brown ascended to Langya Terrace again.

King Yue sat upright in a blue sword suit. Next to King Yue, Lun Qi sat on one side, Ben Cheng sat on the other, and four swordsmen stood proudly behind him a few steps, also wearing the same color of sky blue tight-fitting sword suits. At the bottom of the fencing hall, dozens of swordsmen are still seated, and their sword uniforms are colorful.

Outside the sword hall, Ruan Yinglong personally led fifty crossbowmen to hide, and Zhang crossbows took the arrows. Lu Brown's eyes were sharp, and when he caught a glimpse from a distance, his heart sank, and he couldn't help but shiver. If it really comes in a volley, no matter how good Ren Zhangyi is, there will be nowhere to escape.

Zhang Yi was dressed in a white sword suit, calm and calm, heroic and compelling, slowly walked into the hall, still standing in the middle, arching his hand, and his voice was clear: "Zhang Yi, the swordsman of the Central Plains, has seen the king and all the swordsmen!" ”

Seeing that Zhang Yi and the two of them were judged three days ago, King Yue blurted out: "What a swordsman!" ”

Zhang Yi bowed his hand again: "Thank you for your praise!" ”

King Yue lightly high-fived, only to hear a few swishing sounds, a few lights and shadows flashed, and the four swordsmen behind him had fallen into the hall like sharp arrows, standing still in Zhang Yi's four and five steps, each holding the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were like electricity.

Seeing that Zhang Yi's face still did not change, and he did not move, King Yue nodded, pointed to a few swordsmen and said to Zhang Yi: "Zhang Zi, these swordsmen are widowed guards, although they are not talented, they are also considered top swordsmen in Yue Kingdom, I heard that Zhang Zi is the first sword in the Central Plains, and they all want to be taught, and I hope that Zhang Zi will not hesitate to teach, and the point will stop!" ”

"Zhang Yi commands!" Zhang Yi arched his hand, his body did not move, but his words were to the four swordsmen, "Are you on one by one, or are you four on the same page?" ”

The four of them were all shocked, looking at King Yue.

King Yue thought for a moment: "Listen to Zhangzi!" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Since the king has this purpose, let's go together!" After that, he sat down on the spot with his clothes closed, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't look at the four swordsmen.

The four swordsmen thought that this was the beginning, and their hearts were shocked, and they immediately drew their sharp blades and took a decisive battle posture.

said that it was like a sword, Zhang Yi actually sat upright with his eyes closed, with his bare hands, with a pair of four, and the four of them were all first-class masters of the Yue Kingdom, even if they knew all the swordsmen in the world, how could they have ever seen such a swordsman?

Seeing that Zhang Yi's qi was stable and stable, without a trace of fear, Wujiang couldn't help but be curious after all, and stretched out his hand to stop: "Slow!" ”

The four swordsmen each took a few steps back, stood still, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in their hands holding their swords.

Wujiang's gaze shot at Zhang Yi: "Since Zhang Zi came to compare swords, why didn't he see the sword?" ”

Zhang Yi replied loudly: "Yi has no sword!" ”

Boundless Daqi: "If you are a swordsman, why don't you have a sword?" ”

"You don't need to bring a sword when you go to Yuedi!"

"This..." Wujiang became more and more puzzled, "Zhang Zi has no sword, how to compare swords?" ”

"Returning to the king," Zhang Yi arched his hand, "As far as Yi knows, Wu Yue is good at forging swords, and the king should have a good sword by his side, so he has never brought a sword, and wants to borrow the king's sword." ”

"Hahahaha," Wujiang burst out with a long laugh, "Zhang Zi doesn't bring a sword, what is the mystery of my way, but I don't want to borrow the sword of the widow!" "Lang Sheng," the swordsman of the herald! ”

The swordsman hurried to the scene and bowed: "The minister knocks to see the king!" ”

"Get a sword for Zhang Zi!"

The swordsman answered the promise, and in a moment, walked out with a sword box in his hand.

Just by looking at the sword box, everyone knew that it was a good sword.

Wujiang looked at Zhang Yi: "Zhang Zi, please look, do you like this sword?" ”

Zhang Yi swept the corner of his eyes slightly and shook his head: "This is the sword of the common people." ”

Wujiang was stunned: "What is the sword of the Shuren?" ”

"Returning to the king," Zhang Yilang said, "it is the sword worn by those who are angry and fangless, and can be used to open the intestines and stomach, cut the neck and throat, and Yi disdains to use it." ”

"Oh?" Wujiang looked at Lun Qi and Ben Cheng, and the two of them were also stunned.

Wujiang thought for a while, and turned to the swordsman: "Change the sword for Zhang Zi!" At the same time, he gestured.

The swordsman held the sword and retreated, and after a while, he brought back an old sword box, opened the layers of brocade in front of Zhang Yi, revealing a sword, and slowly retreated.

All the swordsmen know that it is the best, and they all look at it.

Ben Cheng looked at the sword box, and knew that it was the sword given by the king of Yue Goujian to the meritorious Wenchong, and later the Wenchong committed suicide by introducing this sword, and the sword was recovered by the king of Yue and treasured to this day.

The name of the literary sword is called "genus carving", which can be called the world's famous sword and is the best in the sword. Wujiang asked the swordsman to show this sword, one is to value this Central Plains swordsman, the second is to show off his treasure, and the third is to give Lun Qi face.

Wujiang closed his eyes slightly, glanced at Zhang Yi obliquely, and looked proud: "May I ask Zhang Zi, do you like this sword?" ”

Zhang Yi opened his eyes slightly, took the sword out of the box, squinted his eyes and aimed at the word "genus carving" on the box, he did not pull out the sword from the sheath, but returned it to the sword box, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "This is the sword of Doctor Qing." ”

Wujiang was stunned, and his eyes widened: "What is the sword of Doctor Qing?" ”

"Returning to the king," Zhang Yi closed his eyes slightly, "it is the sword worn by the jade eater, which can be used to show off and caress and win fame and fortune, and Yi disdains to use it." ”

Zhang Yi spoke arrogantly, disdaining Qing and the doctor as people of fame and fortune, which undoubtedly aroused the anger of the public, Ben Cheng was angry, Lu Brown looked embarrassed, anxious, angry and helpless, and tapped a few cases to warn Zhang Yi. Because of the involvement of the ancestors, Lunqi's breathing became heavier, and his face was as blue as pig's liver.

Such a sword was despised by Zhang Yi, and all the swordsmen were furious, and all eyes were on the boundless.

"Hahahaha," Wujiang burst out with a long laugh again, laughing loudly, "Change the sword again!" ”

The swordsman looked beyond the boundary, and drew it with force.

Wujiang nodded.

Half an hour later, the swordsman commanded the two wrestlers to carry out a large fine sandalwood box and walk into the hall.

The swordsman opened the lock on the spot, took out a sword box from the box, and bowed to the sword box several times, presenting it to Wujiang several cases.

Wujiang closed his eyes and prayed silently, opened the box with his own hands, took out the sword, examined it carefully, and handed it to the swordsman with both hands.

Except for Zhang Yi, all eyes in the hall were focused on the sword.

Lu Brown understood that Wujiang raised this sword with murderous intent, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Yi. Seeing that Zhang Yi still showed disdain, Lu Brown's heart trembled, sweat broke out on his forehead, he got up quietly, turned out of the sword hall from the side door, and stepped off the stage.

Seeing Lu Brown's pale face from a distance, he rushed down, Jing Sheng knew that something was wrong, and took a step forward: "Lord Lu? ”

"Zhang Zihe..." Lu Brown stomped his feet, "Alas, my life is over!" ”

Xiangnu Sakura's lips widened, her face was pale, and she was stunned for a long time, before she asked, "Lord Lu, tell me quickly, what's wrong with him, husband?" ”

Lu Brown briefly talked about the situation on the stage, and then told Ruan Yinglong about the ambush of the crossbowmen outside the hall, and sighed at the end: "Miss Gongsun, Mr. Jing, there is still time now, if you leave here quickly, you may be able to escape with your life!" ”

Before she could finish listening, the fragrant girl was already squatting on the ground, whimpering, and tears filled her cheeks.

Jing Sheng stabilized his emotions and turned to Lu Brown and said, "Lord Lu, is there a remedy now?" ”

"Alas," Lu Brown sighed, "even if it is an immortal, I am afraid that it will not be able to help!" I am grateful for Mr. Gongsun's great affection, and I wanted to do a little favor, but I didn't want to set yourself on fire and cause this catastrophe! ”

"Lord Lu, please go back," Jing Sheng thought for a moment, frowned, and said slowly, "As far as Jing knows, my uncle should be a rare genius in the world, and it must make sense to act like this." Besides, if something goes wrong, a good man does things well, and even if Jing is broken, he will not affect the adults. ”

"Alas," Lu Brown sighed again, "It's not up to you and me to decide whether it's involved or not." However, the current situation can only be like this. But if you refuse to go, wait here, and go up down to see it. ”

Lu Brown said goodbye and hurriedly came to the stage.

Seeing Lu Brown walking away, Jing Sheng hurriedly pulled the incense girl into a secluded place, whistled, and immediately rushed to five swordsmen.

Jing Sheng glanced at everyone: "It's urgent, my uncle's life and death are hanging on a thread, all of you, listen to my secret words, according to the prior arrangement, take the stage with lightning speed, first solve the crossbowmen, and then control King Yue, and rescue my uncle!" ”

The five swordsmen nodded and dispersed.

The air in the fencing hall froze, and everyone seemed to hold their breath, their eyes not taking their eyes off the sword.

Ben Cheng's gaze turned to Zhang Yi. Ben Cheng knew that Wujiang raised this sword, which was equivalent to shining the family background, indicating that he had moved the murderous aura of death. Ben Cheng squinted at Lun Qi and saw that Lun Qi's eyes were looking outside. Ben Cheng looked at it and was taken aback. Dozens of crossbowmen were crouching in the shadows, and dozens of arrows were all aimed at Zhang Yi, who was still sitting calmly in the center of the hall. Ben Cheng secretly admired Lun Qi, and at the same time pinched a cold sweat for Zhang Yi. Somehow, he began to respect this Central Plains swordsman.

The swordsman held the sword in both hands, walked to Zhang Yi's side on his knees, gently placed the sword in front of Zhang Yi's knees, and slowly retreated. From beginning to end, the swordsman did not make a sound.

Wujiang closed his eyes, turned his head slightly in the direction of the sea, and his ears were pricked up, as if listening to the faint sound of waves in the distance.

Zhang Yi raised his hand, straightened his clothes, adjusted his breathing, closed his eyes, and said something in his mouth, suddenly his eyes widened, and he drew his sword out of the sheath.

As soon as the sword came out of the sheath, Zhang Yi felt a cold air rushing to his face, hurriedly stabilized his mind, stretched out his fingers, flicked it slightly, and made a sound. Zhang Yi carefully examined the hilt of the sword, caught a glimpse of the word "Chunjun" out of the corner of his eye, his heart sank, and his face did not move.

Wujiang slowly turned his head, his eyes opened slightly, and two cold lights shot towards Zhang Yi like sharp arrows, his voice was low, and the murderous aura loomed: "May I ask Zhang Zi, how is this sword?" ”

Zhang Yi was neither afraid nor surprised, still as quiet as a virgin, inserted the sword back into the sheath like a genius, and exclaimed: "Back to the king, this is the sword of Gaoshi!" ”

Wujiang's complexion changed sharply, his eyes widened, and his voice seemed to burst out from between his teeth: "What is the Sword of Coats?" ”

Zhang Yi closed his eyes slightly, his anger sank into the dantian, and his voice was like a loud bell: "The king of Huiyu is the sword worn by those who are both virtuous and virtuous, which can be used for fitness and longevity, and is not available!" ”

Such a sword could not be used by this man, and everyone present was enraged. Ben Cheng glanced at it, and saw Lun Qi's eyes staring at King Yue, knowing that the situation was urgent, his eyes rolled, and he didn't wait for King Yue to get angry, and he shouted a few times: "Bold maniac, you can't even recognize the sword of King Yue, and you dare to pretend to be profound here, and call yourself the first swordsman!" ”

A bright light crossed Zhang Yi's heart.

Obviously, Ben Chengming was scolding, but he was actually helping Zhang Yi, implying that he was the Yue Wang Sword rumored in the world. Thinking of the word "Chunjun" engraved on the sword, Zhang Yi concluded that the Yue Wang Sword was the Chunjun Sword, and suddenly knew it, smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards Bencheng: "Hui Ben's words, this sword is called Chunjun, which was originally treasured by Wu Wangfucha, and then obtained by Yue Wang Goujian, so it is also called Yue Wang Sword, is there a mistake in this statement?" ”

All the swordsmen were shocked.

All the swordsmen in the world know Chunjun, and they all know the sword of the king of Yue, but few people know that these two swords are originally one sword. Hearing Zhang Yi say this, all the swordsmen, even the four guards of Wujiang, didn't seem to dare to believe that this was true, and their eyes all shot at King Yue.

Wujiang was also taken aback, took a long breath, stared at Zhang Yi, and knew that this person was indeed not an ordinary swordsman. Carefully recalling Zhang Yi's evaluation, Wujiang actually felt that it was appropriate, at least there were no blasphemous words. After thinking for a while, the liver fire floating up the boundless was slightly calmer, and he motioned to the swordsman.

The swordsman stepped forward on his knees and took Chunjun in front of Zhang Yi away.

Seeing that the sword of King Yue was put into a box by the swordsman and carried away, Wujiang turned his head and smiled at Zhang Yi: "In this way, there is no sword that can be used by Zhang Zi here." Please ask what sword Zhang Zi should use, and it also opened the eyes of the widow. ”

"Returning to the king," Zhang Yi arched his hand, "People have character, and swords have sword qualities." The sword used in the instrument is extraordinary! ”

This statement conclusively declares that the sword of the king of Yue is also mortal.

Wujiang smiled and reappeared: "Tell me about your extraordinary products, listen to the widow!" ”

Zhang Yi Kankan said: "Among the top ten famous swords in the world, Chunjun ranks third, and the king knows what sword is ranked second and first?" ”

Wujiang snorted and said coldly: "This common sense is known at the age of five, the first place is called Xuanyuan, and the second place is called Zhanlu!" ”

Zhang Yi smiled faintly: "Has the king ever seen the second sword?" ”

Wujiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to be a different person, leaning forward, staring at Zhang Yi without blinking: "Listening to Zhang Zi's words, have you ever seen it?" ”

"Don't hide it from the king," Zhang Yi smiled again, "Yi has loved swords since he was a child, and the reason why he went through all the hardships and went deep into Yunmeng Mountain to worship Mr. Guigu is to ask for these two swords!" ”

As soon as Zhang Yi said this, the audience was shocked, and Wujiang was even more dumbfounded.

Ben Cheng was the first to react and asked hurriedly: "May I ask Zhang Zi, I heard that Pang Juan, the general of the Wei State, once worshipped Guiguzi as a teacher, do you know this person?" ”

"Returning to General Ben's words," Zhang Yi nodded slightly, "This person is a junior brother in Xia, and he has been a classmate of Xia for three years, and he only got a little fur from Mr. ”

Wujiang got up, slowly walked to Zhang Yi, took Zhang Yi's hands and looked at them for a long time, and said sincerely: "Dare to ask Zhang Zi, have you ever touched the second sword with these two hands?" ”

"Returning to the king," Zhang Yi said with a calm smile, "Yi has been in the Ghost Valley for five years, touching every day, practicing all the time, and not daring to slack off for a moment!" ”

Wujiang shook the hand of the nervous instrument, turned to everyone, and said loudly: "Today's sword competition, this is the end, you can retreat!" ”

All swordsmen withdrew.

Lun Qi hurried outside and motioned for Ruan Yinglong to withdraw to ambush.

Wujiang personally helped Zhang Yi up: "Zhang Zi, please get up, talk to the widow's sword room!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

Lu Brown sweated profusely and stepped on hundreds of steps, and was about to turn towards the fencing hall, when he saw all the swordsmen coming out one after another, he was stunned, and saw Ben Cheng walking out with a relaxed face, I don't know what happened, he hurriedly stepped forward, stopped him and said, "General Ben, what's the matter?" ”

Ben Cheng briefly recounted the events on the stage, and said convincingly: "The person you recommended is really good!" ”

Lu Brown pulled his legs and ran off the stage, and saw Jing Sheng flashing out from behind the bushes from a distance, and exclaimed excitedly: "Amazing, amazing, your uncle, really amazing!" ”

Seeing his excitement, Jing Sheng knew that it was okay, and let out a long sigh: "Uncle? ”

"I've been invited into the sword room by the king!" Lu Brown took a few breaths, "Don't hide it from Mr. Jing, Lu Brown has been with the king for more than ten years, and he has not yet entered the king's sword room!" ”

The fragrant girl wept with joy.

The sword room of King Yue Wujiang is located on the easternmost side of Langya Terrace, which is extremely secretive.

Zhang Yi and Wujiang followed the sword officer seven corners and eight turns, walked down dozens of steps, and came to a stone alley.

It's a dead end, and there's no door. Zhang Yi was surprised, the swordsman rotated a hub, and after a muffled sound, a stone door appeared, and behind the door was a corridor. Zhang Yi and the three of them walked again, and the swordsman pressed the hub again and reappeared a stone gate.

Wujiang pointed to the stone gate, hugged his fists and said: "The sword room has arrived, Zhang Zi, please!" ”

Zhang Yi walked into the stone gate, and what appeared in front of him was a huge hall. The hall is three zhang square, made of boulders, and on the east side is two layers of windows, each half a foot high and three feet wide, made of fine copper, which can not only transmit light, but also can see the sea, even children can not climb in.

The stone walls around the hall are covered with various kinds of swords. The sword officer led Wujiang and Zhang Yi to watch for a week, and introduced the names and origins of the swords to Zhang Yi one by one.

Turning around, Wujiang sighed: "Don't hide it, there are five of the two hundred and sixty famous swords in the world, and today it seems that they are all mortal." Fortunately, among the top ten famous swords in the world, the widow is the only one, which can be regarded as a relief! ”

"Obediently," Zhang Yi was shocked and thought, "The top ten famous swords in the world, this person occupies four of them, it's really amazing!" On his face, he made a casual look, smiled slightly, and asked lightly: "Dare to ask the king, what sword does the king have in the top ten famous swords?" ”

Wujiang responded: "Chunjun Zhang Zi has already seen it, and the other three swords are Ganjiang, Mo Xie and Tai'a." ”

Zhang Yi was shocked in his heart again, but he smiled in his mouth: "It is rumored that the three swords have been lost in the Central Plains, but I don't want to be here with the king!" ”

"Don't hide it," Speaking of Jiazhen, Wujiang's tone was proud, "The cadres and Mo Xie are passed down by the ancestors, but Tai'a is a widow for three years, and he has bowed down to visit!" ”

"Oh!" Zhang Yi glanced around the sword hall and said in a daze, "It seems that they are not in this hall." ”

"What Zhang Zi said is very true." Wujiang nodded, "Among the four swords, the widow only brought the sword of the former king with him to inspire him, and the other three swords were hidden in the depths of Huiji Mountain, and they were not revealed. Don't hide it, even if Lun Aiqing and Ben Aiqing don't know about it. Now I see that Zhang Zi is a peerless master, and few people only talk about them! ”

Zhang Yi said: "Thank you for your love!" ”

Wujiang returned the courtesy: "The widow chatted about preparing thin wine, wanted to drink with Zhang Zi, and hoped that Zhang Zi would appreciate the light." ”

"It is an honor for Zhang Yi to be able to drink with the king."

The two walked out of the sword room and came to the dining room, where there were already servants filling the table, all of which were delicacies from the land and strange in the sea. Boundless poured a duke and held up: "The widow respects Zhang Ziyijue." ”

"Thank you for your kindness!" Zhang Yi took it, picked up a jue and handed it to Wujiang, "Yi borrows the king's wine and pays tribute to the king!" ”

The two raised their heads, looked at each other and smiled, and drank each.

Wujiang poured another jue, and presented it to Zhang Yi with both hands: "Please Zhang Zi drink another jue." ”

Zhang Yi drank down, put down the wine, and looked at the boundless.

"Zhang Zi is happy!" Wujiang smiled heartily, "The widow also drinks a jue, talk about Zhang Zi!" ”

Pour it yourself, drink it, put the empty jue next to Zhang Yi's empty jue, pour it again, and the two of them drank together.

After the third lord finished drinking, Wujiang arched his hand and said: "Zhangzi, Wujiang has always been straightforward and doesn't like to go around corners." Now that I have drunk the three lords, I have an improper request for Wujiang, and I hope that Zhang Zi will be fulfilled! ”

Hearing that Wujiang didn't say that there were few people, and changed his words, Zhang Yi knew the end of the end, hugged his fists and said: "Don't dare to do it, Zhang Yi will listen to the king's orders!" ”

"Hearing that Zhang Ziyan and Xuanyuan and Zhan Lu were two swords, they admired them very much. The Xuanyuan Sword should be the thing of Mr. Guigu's town, and he dare not think about it. Wujiang is willing to exchange the three swords of Ganjiang, Mo Xie and Tai'a for Zhan Lu! "Wujiang turned to sit and kneel, and bowed three times in a row," Wujiang implored Zhang Ziyan to Lingshi to convey Wujiang's infatuation for a sword! ”

Zhang Yi was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "This, this, this, the king is really a generation of sword idiots!" ”

Wujiang got up: "Love the sword only!" Zhangzi, please be seated! ”

The two of them sat down again, drank a few more knights, and looked at Zhang Yi with boundless eyes: "What you want without borders, I hope Zhang Zi will convey it!" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head.

"Zhang Zi," Wujiang rolled his eyes, "you can pass it on to Mr. Guigu, and say that Wujiang will give you all the swords hidden in the sword room!" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head again.

Wujiang was anxious, threw away the wine lord in his hand, knelt down again, and bowed to Zhang Yi three times: "Wujiang is out of the way, the first king will also give him this pure jun, can you?" ”

Zhang Yi sighed, turned to kneel again, bowed a few times, and shook his head again.

Wujiang's face couldn't hold back, his brows furrowed, and his voice trembled: "May I ask Zhangzi, what does your husband want to exchange?" ”

"The king doesn't know," Zhang Yi looked at Wujiang, still calm, "Don't say that it is the sword hidden by the king, even if the king brings all the swords in the world, it will be difficult to exchange for Zhanlu." ”

Boundless shock: "This..."

Zhang Yi smiled slightly: "Don't be surprised, and listen to Zhang Yi's words." ”

Wujiang hurriedly said: "Zhang Zi, please speak!" ”

Zhang Yi paused for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "The king wants to get Zhan Lu, can you know Zhan Lu?" ”

Wujiang was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Please teach me Zhang Zi!" ”

"If you want to know Zhanlu, you must know the way of the sword. The king is good at swordsmanship, dare to ask the king if he knows the way of the sword? ”

"The sword also has a way?" Wujiang was stunned again, "Please teach me Zhang Zi!" ”

"Heaven has the way of heaven, and the sword has the way of the sword. The sword of the world, how much more than 10 million? As far as kendo is concerned, there are only three swords. ”

Wujiang was shocked: "Zhang Zi is saying that there are only three swords in the world?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yi's heart was calm, "The first sword is called the Holy Sword, the second sword is called the Xian Sword, and the third sword is called the Vulgar Sword!" ”

Wu Wu was puzzled and asked urgently: "What is the Holy Sword?" ”

Zhang Yi pointed to the sky: "The holy sword is the first sword in the world, also known as the heavenly sword, also known as the sword of the heavenly way, with the Tao as the back, with virtue as the edge, with yin and yang as the qi, with the five lines of handles, the upper can break the sky, and the lower can be the Jedi." This sword is obtained by Emperor Xuanyuan, known as Xuanyuan Sword, passed to Yao, Shun, Yu, lasted three emperors, disappeared. ”

Wujiang pondered for a while, and nodded slightly: "Well, Wujiang understands." May I ask Zhang Zi, what is a virtuous sword? ”

Zhang Yi pointed to the ground: "The virtuous sword is the second sword in the world, also known as the earth sword, also known as the sword of the Son of Heaven, with all the people as the back, with the virtuous ministers as the front, the upper should be the way of heaven, the lower should be the geography, and the public will be neutralized." This sword was obtained by King Wu of Zhou, known as the Zhanlu sword, passed on to the twelfth, and disappeared when the king of You. ”

Wujiang suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Wujiang understands!" Zhang Zi said that Xuanyuan and Zhanlu are both invisible swords. Tangible swords are all vulgar swords. ”

"King Shengming!" Zhang Yi arched his hand and congratulated, "The vulgar sword is also called a human sword, with stainless steel as the edge, alloy as the back, and cold forest as the gas, the upper part can be beheaded, the lower part can be chopped off feet, and the middle can be broken." ”

Wujiang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, what Zhang Zi said is extremely true." ”

Zhang Yi continued: "The way of heaven is constant, and so is the way of the sword. Since three generations, the holy sword has been lost, and the wise sword has been produced. The virtuous sword is lost, and the vulgar sword is out. The holy sword can only be obtained by those who are Taoist, the virtuous sword can only be obtained by those who are virtuous, and as for the vulgar sword, all those who are powerful can get it. ”

Wujiang was impressed, and arched his hand: "Listening to Zhang Zi's words, Wujiang suddenly opened." Everywhere there is no boundary, all are vulgar swords. If you want to get Zhanlu, there is no boundary, only virtue in the world, and the power of the world. ”

Zhang Yi got up and bowed: "If the king has this ambition, Yi will be worth the trip." ”

Boundless ambition**, he pulled Zhang Yi up, and said with emotion: "Don't hide Zhang Zi and subdue the world, it is exactly what Boundless wants!" Zhang Zi must have seen it, and the 210,000 ships and army armies were recruited without borders, which was originally to dominate the Central Plains. Today, it seems that this ambition is small, and Wujiang should follow the example of King Wu, master Zhanlu, and dominate the world! ”

"Good!" Zhang Yi praised loudly and arched his hand, "The king wants to get Zhanlu, and Yi is willing to work hard!" ”

Wujiang said: "With Zhang Zi on the side, Wujiang can accomplish the great cause!" ”

"Speaking of this," Zhang Yi turned to the topic, "Yi dared to ask the king, the army is gathered here, can it be used to conquer the land?" ”

"Exactly!" Wujiang said proudly, "Wujiang wants to divide the boat and cut down the land by land, how about Zhang Ziyi?" ”

Zhang Yi pondered for a long time and shook his head heavily: "Avoiding hypocrisy and hitting the truth, sacrificing the original and seeking the end, I think it is impossible to steal." ”

"Oh?" Wujiang exclaimed, "Zhang Zi taught me!" ”

"If it is not as expected by the grass people," Zhang Yi looked at the boundless and vibrated his words, "The king will attack Qi in three ways, all the way to the Great Wall, all the way around the back of the Great Wall, cut off Tian Ji's retreat, and there are even boat masters who avoid the real and make trouble by sea and go straight to Linzi." The grass people guessed, dare to ask the king if he is? ”

Wujiang was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he came back to his senses, hugged his fists and asked, "It's such a top secret, how can Zhang Zi know about it?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and also arched his hand: "Here in Yi, there is no top secret in the world. ”

"Yes, yes," Wujiang was impressed, "Wujiang forgot, Zhang Zi is a senior disciple of Mr. Guigu." ”

"The high apprentices dare not call it." Zhang Yi responded, "Yi steals that the king's strategy is still not enough to break the Qi. ”

"Please explain in detail."

"King, please look," Zhang Yi moved the plate and casually put out the situation map, "This is the Great Wall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Qi people have strong bows and fire crossbows waiting for them." This is the Lu realm, and the king's second strange soldiers will enter here, but as far as Yi knows, the Qi people have already been prepared, and the Duke of Qi has already met with the Duke of Lu, and the two countries have joined forces to lay a giant pocket here, waiting for the king's soldiers and horses. As for the Dawang Boat Division, the Qi people had already set up guards in various places along the coast, especially on the Linzi line, which was heavily fortified. As long as the Qi people do not go into the water and wait on land, the advantage of the king sailor will be dissolved. ”

Zhang Yi's analysis was reasonable, and Wujiang listened to it with a creepy face, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Don't say this," Zhang Yi continued to speak, "The king is in Qi, and there are three other disadvantages. ”

"Is it unfavorable?" Wujiang asked urgently.

"The king of Qi is unknown, and the Qi people defend the country for righteousness, which is one of them; Qi land is rich, the soldiers are full of food, and they fight at the door of their homes, and they don't have to worry about it, but the king corn has to be transported by boat for thousands of miles, and there are more Chu people behind, always worried that they will take advantage of the void, and the second is also; If the war situation falls into a stalemate, winter comes, the soldiers are not accustomed to the cold in the north, and the combat power will be lost. ”

Wujiang took a breath and was speechless for a long time.

"The king," Zhang Yi continued, "There are these three drawbacks, and Yi thinks that it is unwise for the king to cut Qi." ”

"Alas," Wujiang sighed, "it was Lun Qi who misunderstood me!" In Zhang Zi's opinion, what should be done without borders? ”

"If you want to get Zhanlu, the king can turn around and attack Chu."

Wujiang's eyes widened: "Vachu? ”

"Yes!" Zhang Yi strengthened his tone, "Chu is vast, there are many people in Chu, as long as the king gets Chu, he will get most of the world." The people of Chu and Yue are not more than 10 million, and the king can levy and mobilize millions of troops with a wave of his hand. If the king invades the Central Plains with a million heroes, the Central Plains will not be invincible? ”

"This..." "Borderless is not worry-free," although what Zhang Zi said is reasonable, but Chu is vast, there are many people in Chu, and there is no chance of winning Chu! ”

Zhang Yi burst out laughing: "Why is the king so afraid? ”

Wujiang was somewhat embarrassed: "It's not that I'm afraid of it, it's that it happened suddenly, Wujiang is stupid, I didn't understand it for a while, and I still hope for Zhang Zi's guidance." ”

"In Yi's opinion," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "it's not that the Yue people are afraid of Chu, but that Chu is afraid of the Yue people." ”

"Oh?" Wujiang was surprised, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Does the king remember King Wu? With the strength of Wu and tens of thousands of people, he defeated hundreds of thousands of troops of Chu in one fell swoop, took its capital and dug its mausoleum. The Wu army is so good, but it was broken by the Yue people, isn't the Yue people better than the Wu people? The king now has Wu Yue's people, and there are 210,000 male teachers, far from being compared with the Lu in the past, how can the Chu people not be afraid? ”

After Zhang Yi's comparison, Wujiang had no choice but to accept it, nodded and said, "Well, what Zhang Zi said is true." May I ask Zhang Zi, if you cut down Chu, what is the chance of winning without borders? ”

"It's not a few percent, it's a complete victory!"

"Victory?" Wujiang seemed to disbelieve it, and looked at Zhang Yi, "Please explain in detail!" ”

"Listen, King!" Zhang Yi's eyebrows flew, "The two countries compete with each other, and the time, place, and people win." Chu Youjing, Zhao, Qu, Dou, Huang, Xiang and other eight major families, long-term internal disputes, such as the palm of the fingers. The Yue people are united as one, like a fist. With fists against palms, the king is the first to win the peace. There are many water towns in Chu, and the Yue people are accustomed to water warfare. There are many plains in Chu, and there are many mountains in Yue. If the Chu people attack, the mountains are easy to defend and difficult to attack; If the Yue people are to cut down Chu, the plain is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Compared with the two, the king occupies an advantageous place. At present, the heavy army of Chu is divided into two groups, one in Hanzhong and Wancheng in the northwest, confronting Qin, and the other in the northeast to attack the Song Dynasty and fighting to the death with Wei. As far as Yi knows, the Wei general Pang Juan has captured more than a dozen cities in Shanshan, beheaded 60,000 soldiers under the Chu general Jinghe, and forced Xiangcheng to attack; Zhaoyang was forced to withdraw his troops from the Song State and engage Wei with short troops; According to Zhaoyang's talent, he is far from being the opponent of Yizhi's junior brother Pang Juan. If nothing else, Zhaoyang will lose this battle. Wei is the overlord of the Central Plains, Chu and Wei will fight against each other, and the elite will be produced, if Zhaoyang is defeated, the elite of Chu will be lost, the vitality will be lost, and the king will gain the time again. The king took advantage of the three advantages of time, place, and people, but he didn't realize it, and he was still here to avoid the truth, miss the opportunity, and regret it for the king! ”

Wujiang pondered for a long time, and then took the case: "Zhang Zi's words are like thunder, and the widow no longer has any doubts, so he will change his course!" Turning to the outside of the hall, "Someone!" ”

The courtier knocked: "The minister is here!" ”

"Summoning the national division, General Ben, General Ruan, and Dr. Lu will discuss immediately!"

"Command!"

The courtyard was as quiet as death. Xiangnu and Jing Sheng each closed their eyes and sat opposite each other.

I don't know how long it took, Xiangnu opened her eyes, her expression began to be uneasy, she looked at Jing Sheng, and whispered: "Uncle Jing, King Yue urgently summoned Lord Lu to the palace, will there be another branch?" ”

Jing Sheng shook his head: "I don't think so." As far as the old slave knows, so far, in addition to King Yue and Lun Qi, there are only three people who can enter the sword room of King Yue, one is a swordsman, one is the general Ben Cheng, and the other is the uncle. ”

Xiangnu is not worried: "It is precisely because of this that I am worried." In case the king of Yue..."

Before the words fell, the sound of cars and horses came from outside the inn.

Jing Sheng greeted him, and after a while, he walked into the courtyard with Lu Brown's hand.

Seeing Lu Brown's expression, the fragrant girl knew that there was no big problem, breathed a sigh of relief, and got up to salute.

The three of them sat down, and Jing Sheng asked, "Lord Lu, why don't you see your uncle come back?" ”

Lu Brown clasped his fists and praised: "Oh, your uncle is really eloquent, the king wants to change the route to attack Chu, General Ruan is not convinced, but he was speechless by his uncle, even Lun Guoshi had to let go and agreed with the king to abandon Qi and Chu." ”

Xiangnu looked at Jing Sheng with a look of surprise.

"Abandon Qi Vachu?" Jing Sheng pretended not to know, "May I ask my lord, why did the king abandon Qi Fa Chu?" ”

Lu Brown smiled: "This is thanks to your uncle!" Then the debate in the hall was briefly recounted, and at the end of the sentence, "The king issued an edict on the spot to cut down Chu, divided into two routes, water and land, traced the river upstream, and smashed the Yingdu." ”

The fragrant girl asked urgently: "What about the husband?" ”

"It's still with the king." Lu Brown responded, "Look at it like that, for a while, my uncle won't be able to come back." ”

In the sea viewing pavilion of Langya Terrace, Wujiang sits in the south, Zhang Yi is accompanied by the east, and both of them set their eyes on the sea, overlooking the blue of the water and sky. As General Nguyen predicted, since noon, the wind has risen suddenly, the sea surface is turbulent, and the waves are rolling, but from such a high platform, the waves are like ripples in the pool, and only the surging sound that appears from time to time is like thunder, and the sound is endless.

These days, Zhang Yi's heart has been hanging, and it is not until this time that she can be considered down-to-earth, and there are Yaxing and Wujiang to enjoy the sea together. For a while, Zhang Yi looked sideways at Wujiang, and saw that he was looking at the sea as if he was drunk, and said with a smile: "The king is watching the sea every day here, is it greasy?" ”

"Greasy?" Wujiang looked at Zhang Yi quite strangely, "The sea is boundless, the wind and clouds meet, the snow, rain, fog and wind, the situation is ever-changing, the day and night are cloudy and sunny, and the tastes are different, why is it boring?" ”

"In this way," Zhang Yi said casually, "the king not only loves the sword, but also the sea. ”

"Yes." Wujiang nodded, and his eyes moved to the sea again, "Life is inevitable to die." Don't hide it, Wujiang has already thought about it, and when that moment comes, Wujiang only has two wishes, one is to die under the sword of a master, and the other is to be buried in the depths of the sea. ”

Zhang Yi's heart trembled, and he clenched his fists: "The king's open mind is like the sea, Yi is respectful!" ”

Wujiang hugged his fists and returned the salute: "The Yue people are like this, and after a long time, Zhang Zi will know." After a pause, he pointed to the sea, "Zhang Zi looks at this sea, do you have feelings?" ”

"It's not a sigh," Zhang Yi said slowly, looking at the sea, "It's awe." ”

Wujiang praised: "Zhang Zi's good words, you should be in awe!" ”

Zhang Yi slowly turned his head to Wujiang: "Has the king heard of the Zhuangzi of the Song Kingdom?" ”

"Song Zhuangzi?" Wujiang shook his head, "Wujiang is lonely and unheard, and I have never heard of this person." Why, does this person also love the sea? ”

"Yes," Zhang Yi got up, turned to the direction of the Song Kingdom on the west side, took a deep look, and then turned to Wujiang, "When Yi was in the valley, he was fortunate enough to read a wonderful essay by Zhuangzi, which was written about this sea. ”

"Oh?" Wujiang urgently asked, "What is Miaowen, can you let Wujiang share?" ”

"The name of this article is 'Autumn Water', which is about the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, ten thousand springs return to the stream, ten thousand streams return to the water, ten thousand waters return to the river, the river Bo is vibrating, and it is impossible to live a lifetime, roaring down with the huge water, and to the sea, looking at the ocean and sighing, ashamed to see and laugh in the generous house."

Wujiang pondered: "What does the sea say? ”

"The sea said," Zhang Yi said eloquently, "You can't talk about the sea to the well frog, you can't talk about the ice to the summer worm, and you can't talk to the Qushi." Although you said that you came from the crevice of the cliff, but along the way, you can be regarded as having seen the world, and now you are ashamed to see the sea, so I can talk to you about the sea. ”

Boundless was energetic, leaned over and asked, "How does it talk?" ”

"The sea says, "There is no greater water in the world than the sea." Ten thousand rivers return, I don't know when it will end, I have never been full; I don't know when, I've never been short; Spring and autumn, I don't change, water and drought, I don't know. By the flow of rivers, you can't count them, I have never thought it was too much. Compared to the shape of heaven and earth, I am like a small stone and a small tree in the mountains! ”

"Oh," Wujiang sighed, "This story should be told without borders." ”

Zhang Yi smiled and asked, "Why did the king say this?" ”

"Before I saw Zhang Zi, Wujiang was just like that Hebo, in this remote place, I couldn't live forever, and when I saw Zhang Zi, I knew that the Hanhai was boundless!"

Zhang Yi got up and knocked: "The reputation of the king, I dare not be ashamed!" ”

"Hehehe," Wujiang got up and helped Zhang Yi up, "Zhang Zidon't be humble!" Zhang Zi's talent is sincerely admired. Wujiang wants to learn the official system of the Central Plains, worship Zhang Zi as the prime minister, and listen to Zhang Zi for the whole country, I don't know what Zhang Zi wants? ”

"King Xie." Zhang Yi thanked him, "It's just the king's invitation, and you can't obey your orders." ”

"Oh?" Wujiang was surprised, "Why is this?" ”

"Because Yi still has a big thing to do."

Wujiang urgently asked: "What is the big deal, can you tell Wujiang?" ”

"Yi must go to Yingdu."

"Yingdu?" Wujiang was even more surprised, "My army is about to attack Chu, Zhang Zi does not help Wujiang, but goes to Yingdu, this..."

"Hehe," Zhang Yi smiled meaningfully, "King, there is Yi in Chu, isn't it..."

Wujiang also seemed to understand: "Zhang Zi is saying... ”

Zhang Yi clenched his fists and responded: "King Shengming! ”

"It's just," Wujiang pondered for a while, not worrying, "what if the King of Chu doesn't listen to Zhang Zi?" ”

"There's this below," Zhang Yi smiled and stuck out his tongue, "If the King of Chu is not a fool, he should listen to Yi!" ”

"Dare to ask Zhang Zi, how do you want to convince the King of Chu, how to deal with my army?" Wujiang asked.

"The first step is to face the king of Chu; The second step is to win the trust of the king of Chu; The third step is to deploy the Chu army and the king of Chu to plot a secret letter to the king; The fourth step is to gain authority in Chu and cooperate with the king. ”

"Good!" Wujiang clenched his fists and praised, "There is Zhang Zi Neiying, and there is no need to worry about breaking Chu!" His eyebrows raised slightly, "Zhang Zi is on this trip, but what do you want to do without borders?" ”

"There's no need for anything," Zhang Yi arched his hand, "Thank you for your care!" ”

Wujiang thought for a while: "I heard that the king of Chu prefers pearls, and Wujiang will give you twenty pearls in the South China Sea, so why don't you have a gift?" ”

"King Xie."

Wujiang immediately asked the chamberlain to take 20 South China Sea pearls and handed them to Zhang Yi: "Zhang Zi is here, Wujiang has benefited a lot." Zhang Zi is going, and Wujiang should also have something to say. May I ask Zhang Zi, what you need can be said, as long as you have it, you will give it with both hands. ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and looked at Wujiang: "Yi begged the king to hide a sword, and left a thought." ”

"Let's go," Wujiang got up, "choose from the sword hall." ”

The two of them re-entered the sword hall with the swordsman, Wujiang pointed to the dazzling array of swords, and said to Zhang Yi: "The hidden swords here, except for Chunjun, who was left by the previous king, and Wujiang did not dare to give them away, the rest of the hidden swords, Zhang Zi can choose at will." ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand and said, "King Xie." ”

Wujiang was quite interested, and stepped forward to introduce it in person: "Zhang Zi, you have seen this sword, it is a matching sword of the literary genre - it belongs to the carving, and then the one in front, who are you doing?" It's Sun Wuzi. It is said that this sword was matched by King Wu Lu, and later given to Sun Wu, who used it to kill the two concubines of Lu Lu..."

Zhang Yi looked at them one by one, but none of them were selected. Seeing that she was about to come to an end, Zhang Yi's eyes lit up and landed on a beautifully decorated women's saber.

"Hehehe," Wujiang said with a smile, "This sword, also known as the beauty sword, was given to the beauty by Wu Wangfu. ”

Zhang Yi took the sword, looked at it carefully, and turned to Wujiang: "This is the sword." ”

Wujiang was stunned, and laughed: "Dare to ask Zhang Zi, this sword is a gift to a beauty?" ”

"King Shengming." Zhang Yi smiled back.

"Hahahaha," Wujiang laughed a few times, "People say that Wujiang is a sword idiot, and Zhang Zidang is a lover!" ”

Zhang Yi's face was slightly red, and he hugged his fists and said, "Let the king see and laugh." ”

Wujiang was happy for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, Wujiang still has something to ask Zhang Zi." ”

"Yi knows everything."

Wujiang stared at Zhang Yi with a sincere gaze: "Wujiang has been thinking hard for several days, but he still hasn't realized Zhang Zi's technique of being the first to come." There is no one else here, and Wujiang begs Zhang Zi to give a word. ”

"Don't dare." Zhang Yi smiled slightly, "Yi asked the king, where was the sword when it was released?" ”

"The sword is in the hand."

Zhang Yi shook his head again and again.

Wujiang was stunned: "The sword is not in his hand, but where is it?" ”

Zhang Yi pointed to his heart: "The sword is here, in the heart." ”

"The sword in the heart?" Wujiang obviously didn't understand, and looked at Zhang Yi with wide eyes.

"Exactly." Zhang Yi was calm and condensed, "The sword is in the hand, the heart does not move, and the sword moves; The sword is in the heart, and the sword is not moving. ”

Wujiang stared at his eyebrows for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Zhang Zi's words, Wujiang suddenly opened!" The sword does not move, saying that the sword has been sent, but the heart has not arrived; The sword is not moved, it is said that the sword has not been sent, but the heart has arrived. The heart is the mind, Zhang Zi focuses on the unity of sword intent, and the sword moves with his heart. ”

"King Shengming!" Zhang Yi arched his hand and congratulated, "Heaven and man are one, and you can become a Taoist." The unity of sword intent can become a sword man. ”

"It's miles, it's miles," Wujiang nodded again and again, greatly impressed, "No matter how fast the sword is, there is no fast thought." Zhang Ziguo is the number one swordsman in the world, and he is respectful without borders! ”

"Thank you, the king."

Zhang Yi bowed without borders, and returned to the inn by Wang Yuan, like a hero triumphant.

The incense girl, Jing Sheng and his personal servants greeted them outside the store, and they all bowed. Zhang Yi got out of the car, picked up the incense girl, walked into the hall with her hand, untied a sword from her waist, handed it to her, and said, "Xiang girl, what are you bringing back next?" ”

Xiangnu took the examiner, and saw that the sword scabbard was inlaid with gold and jade jewelry, which was extremely gorgeous, and she drew the sword out of the sheath, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Xizi Sword!" ”

"Hehehe," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "May I ask Xiangnu, how is this sword?" ”

Xiangnu sighed: "The sword of the world, the sword of the husband is the first to recommend Chunjun, and the sword of the woman is it!" ”

"Hehehe," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Xiang Nu knows this sword, do you like it?" ”

For the fragrant girl who has been fond of swords since she was a child, there is no reason not to love, she nodded again and again, with an obsessive face.

"Okay," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "If you like it, from today onwards, it will be yours!" ”

"To me?" Xiangnu stared at Zhang Yi in disbelief, "This sword should be King Yue's treasure!" ”

"Yesterday it belonged to King Yue," Zhang Yi smiled faintly, "Today it belongs to the incense girl." ”

Xiangnu carefully inserted the sword back into the sheath and asked softly, "Did King Yue give her husband a gift?" ”

"No, no, no!" Zhang Yi shook his head again and again, "I asked him for it!" ”

"It's for the slaves?" Xiangnu asked, tilting her head.

"Even if it's it!" Zhang Yi replied, as if he remembered something, and laughed, "In order to ask for this sword, I still made the Wujiang guy laugh for a while." ”

Xiangnu was stunned: "What is he laughing at?" ”

"He's a lover when he laughs."

Hearing the word "infatuation", the fragrant girl stared at Zhang Yi with her eyes, full of tears, moved over step by step, put her head on Zhang Yi's chest, and her voice choked: "Husband..."

Seeing that the fragrant girl was so excited and so knowledgeable, Zhang Yi's eyes were slightly closed, and the figure of the jade cicada appeared in front of her, and there was a throbbing in her heart, she reached out and stroked the fragrant girl's hair, and murmured: "Cicada, Zhang Yi is not blessed, I can only bless you." ”

Xiangnu heard it clearly, and thought about it carefully, but she was in a fog, and raised her head and asked, "Husband, who is the cicada?" ”

Zhang Yi looked out of the hall with two eyes, and his expression was in a trance: "You won't know who the cicada is." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yi was still staring outside the hall, Xiangnu looked over and saw a big tree in the courtyard, and suddenly realized: "Xiangnu knows, the cicadas that my husband said must be those insects that lie among the trees and feed on dew and can sing and sing." However, we don't call it a cicada, we call it 'Zhili', because when it comes to summer, it always sings 'Zhi-Zhi-' day and night. ”

"Alas," Zhang Yi still looked out of the hall and sighed lightly, "This 'knows' is not the 'cicada', you only know 'know', how do you know the cicada?" ”

Xiangnu was stunned for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Mmmmmmmm Thinking about the ghost valley, every summer and autumn, you must see the cicadas flying day and night, and you can hear the cicadas singing every night. After a pause, "It's still late spring, and there are no cicadas." However, the husband can rest assured that when the summer comes, the fragrant girl will catch a few for her husband and let them sing for her husband every day. ”

Zhang Yi retracted his gaze, smiled bitterly, and was about to speak, when Jing Sheng came in, and saw that the two were very close, and paused. Zhang Yi heard the voice, pushed away the fragrant girl, turned to Jing Sheng and said, "Brother Jing, prepare the carriage and horses, and go on the road." ”

"Okay," Jing Sheng responded, "Uncle, where are you going?" ”

"Yingdu."

"The old slave obeys!"

"I heard that King Fang Jinchu loves to play games, but is there such a thing?"

"Exactly," Jing Sheng said with a smile, "The old slave has heard Master Jing speak. ”

"Help me make a chessboard."

"Chessboard?"

Zhang Yi took out a piece of silk: "According to the painting above, marked with size, use old nanmu." ”

Jing Sheng took it: "The old slave will arrange it to ensure that as soon as my uncle arrives in Yingdu, he will be able to see the chessboard!" ”

Zhang Yi smiled.

The Yingdu of Chu is adjacent to the river in the south, Yunmengze in the east, Yiba Mountain in the west, Wudang and Tongbai in the north, the product is abundant, the geographical position is superior, the king of Chu Wen migrated here from Danyang, it has been more than 300 years since the time of the king of Wei, the people are shoulder to shoulder, it is very prosperous.

About 40 miles southeast of Yingdu is a big Ze, called Yunmengze, there is a soil tomb on the edge of Ze, two hundred years ago Chu Ling King built a lot of construction here, built a palace, called Zhanghua Palace. Zhanghua Palace is forty miles in radius, there is one, thirty feet high, before Langyatai was built, it is the highest building in the countries. It is rumored that after King Ling built this platform, he summoned more than 3,000 palace maids, gardeners and servants to live here. Lingwang advocates a thin waist, the concubines in the palace are all dieting and tied, weak and can't help the wind, every time they come to this stage, they need to rest three times, so this platform is also called "three rest platform", Zhanghua Palace is also called thin waist palace.

Like the kings of Chu in the past, Xiong Shang, the king of Chuwei, also liked this palace, and had to leave Yingdu in mid-spring and February every year to enjoy the tour here, and stayed until midsummer in May. During this period, all state affairs were entrusted to the crown prince.

In the late spring and early summer of this year, in the afternoon, in the observation pavilion on the Sanxiu platform, King Wei, who was over fifty years old, was playing with several palace ladies in the pavilion. King Wei's black scarf was blindfolded, and he was touching everywhere. A concubine and seven or eight palace ladies surrounded King Wei on all sides, giggling and dodging.

At this moment, Xiong Huai, the crown prince who stayed in charge of Yingdu, hurriedly walked up to the pavilion, and Neizai Cheng followed behind him in fear.

Seeing this scene, Prince Huai was stunned all of a sudden. When the concubines and the palace ladies who were giggling and laughing saw the prince, they all looked ashamed, covered their faces with their sleeves, and hurriedly avoided to the side.

Suddenly, no laughter could be heard, and King Chu Wei shouted while still groping: "Ai Concubine! Concubineβ€”"

The prince slowly knelt down, bowed three times in a row, and said in a deep voice: "The son knocks to see the father!" ”

King Chu Wei ripped off the black scarf, saw the prince kneeling on the ground, his face was embarrassed, he glared at Neizai fiercely, turned to the concubine, and reprimanded: "Don't you retreat?" ”

The concubine and the palace ladies hurriedly retreated.

King Chu Wei walked to the table and sat down on his knees: "Calm down." ”

The crown prince thanked him, and without waiting to get up, he played to himself: "Father, my son-in-law has an emergency military report!" ”

King Chu Wei gradually regained his prestige: "Say it, but the battle in Xiangcheng? ”

"It's a border emergency!"

King Chu Wei frowned: "Where is the border pass?" ”

"Dongyue Border Pass!" Prince Huai took out an urgent report from his sleeve and presented it with both hands, "General Bian, who is guarding Zhaoguan, has reported that the army of the Yue Kingdom has left Langya 30 days ago, and the troops are divided into two ways, turn around and go south, and offend me in a big way!" ”

"Oh?" King Chu Wei took the urgent report, but before he could see it, he asked in surprise, "How many people?" ”

"150,000 by land and 500 chariots, have passed Guangling, and are approaching Zhaoguan along the north bank of the river; There are 60,000 waterways, 100 large ships, 200 medium ships, and countless small boats, carrying more weapons, grain and grass, and are traveling along the river, and within ten days, they can reach the long shore. If it is not blocked, after 30 days, the waterway can reach Yunmengze and force Yingdu. Once the land route breaks through the Zhaoguan, it will surely drive straight into it, echoing the waterway. ”

King Chu Wei pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "Is there any news from Xiangcheng?" ”

Prince Huai hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "Zhaoyang is still facing off with the Wei people on the front line of Changping and Zhaoling, and the day before yesterday, if you want to defeat the Wei people and recover Shanshan, you still need to increase your troops by 50,000. ”

"Humph!" King Chu Wei's face sank, and he snorted in his nostrils, "He has lost 60,000 elite soldiers, and he still has the face to increase his troops?" ”

"Father," Prince Huai said hurriedly, "the urgent task at the moment is not in Xiangcheng, but in Yueren!" ”

"Yes," King Chu Wei nodded, calmed down, and reassured him, "The Yue people can't beat for a while, Huai'er doesn't need to be anxious." You can go back to the palace to stabilize the situation and let Jingshe come to Zhanghua quickly! ”

"Sons obey orders!"

Seeing that the crown prince Huai was fading away, King Chu Wei slowly closed his eyes, and shouted: "Someone! ”

Neizai was in a hurry, knelt on the ground, and knocked: "The minister is here!" ”

King Chu Wei said coldly: "Are you guilty? ”

Neizai knocked again and cried: "The minister is guilty!" The minister stopped His Highness and asked His Highness to wait for a while, and wait for the minister to pass the king, but His Highness was so anxious that he just didn't listen! ”

"Well, it's not the past. From this day onwards, whoever comes to this stage again must report to the widow, and the offender will be punished for the crime of resisting the decree! ”

Neizai knocked again: "Thank you for the king's grace of not sinning!" ”

"Secretly summoned Zhaoyang and Qu Kuo, and asked them to return to Yingying as soon as possible and come directly to Zhanghuatai!"

"Command!"

Yingdu, Chu Palace is surrounded by three waters, a name called Lishui flows not far from the main gate, the width is about several zhang, the water is clear and slow, the willows on the shore are still around, and the flowers are gorgeous. A row of markets is built on the waterfront, and at one end of the palace stands a luxury inn called Qifeng Tower.

It was almost noon, a horse luxury car stopped in front of the Qifeng Tower, and Prince Huai's personal attendant Jin (jì

Shang jumped out of the car and strode in. A few people had already greeted him, greeted him, and led him upstairs. Jingdi is damp, especially this kind of riverside inn, therefore, most of the elegant rooms are located upstairs.

There was one person sitting in the room, it was Jing Sheng.

Seeing Jin Shang coming in, Jing Sheng got up and said, "I've seen Lord Jin in Xia Jingsheng!" ”

Jin Shang replied: "Jin Shang has seen Mr. Jing. ”

Jing Sheng pointed to the chief position: "Lord Jin, please take a seat!" ”

Jin Shang was not polite, took a few steps forward, and sat down on his knees. Seeing that Jing Sheng also sat down in the accompanying seat, Jin Shangfang took out a letter of worship from his sleeve and put it on several cases, and got straight to the point: "This letter of worship was sent by Mr. Jing?" ”

"Exactly." Jing Sheng hugged his fists and responded, "I take the liberty to disturb Lord Jin in the future, and I hope your lordship will forgive me." ”

Jin Shang slightly clenched his fists, which was regarded as a return of the courtesy: "I have never known Mr. Jing in my life, and Mr. Jing has met in person, I don't know what to see?" ”

"Do you know about Gongsun Roulin?"

Jin Shang's eyes lit up: "I've heard of the name for a long time!" I heard that half of the meat of the Chu people is offered by the meat forest, but is there such a thing? ”

"It's all rumors," Jing Sheng smiled slightly, "Gongsun Roulin is just a meat supply for the twenty-four towns in the north of Chudi, that's all." ”

"Twenty-four Meat!" Jin Shang exclaimed, "This business is big enough!" Mr. Jing is..."

"In Xia Bucai, on the order of Mr. Gongsun, I will temporarily take care of the meat forest business."

Jin Shang was in awe, and hugged his fists and congratulated: "Mr. Jing has the ability to run such a big stall, and I am respectful." ”

"Lord Xie Jin raises love." Jing Sheng returned the salute and said, "Thanks to Lord Jin's blessing, the meat forest business has only grown big over the years." In the next time, Mr. Gongsun repeatedly told him to visit the adults and thank them for their kindness! ”

"Bless?" Jin Shang was stunned, "Mr. Jing, don't be mistaken, I haven't known Mr. Gongsun in Xia, how can I say that I am blessed?" ”

"Dade doesn't say anything," Jing Sheng hugged his fists and said, "Lord Jin has helped a lot but has not said anything, and the order is really respectful!" ”

"This..." Jin Shang was even more confused, "I am stupid, please ask Mr. Jing to speak clearly." ”

"Have you ever known General Jingcui?"

Jin Shang nodded: "He is a friend." ”

"Five years ago, the Lord and General Jingcui went to Wancheng together, can you praise Wancheng meat?"

Jin Shang thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, it seems that there has been such a thing." I ate wine that day, tasted Wancheng meat, and felt that it was delicious and varied, and I discussed this matter with Jingcui. ”

"That's it!" Jing Sheng said with a smile, "Lord Jin's admiration was immediately transmitted to the ears of General Jinghe, the guard of Nanyang County, and General Jing gave an order, and the meat supply of the twenty-four towns under Nanyang County was handed over to Gongsun Roulin!" ”

Jin Shang was shocked: "Is this true? ”

"It's true." Jing Sheng took out a beautifully decorated gift box from under several cases and gently pushed it in front of Jin Shangji, "Mr. Gongsun is grateful for the great kindness of the adults, and he wants to repay it early, but he has no chance." This time, I accompanied my aunt and girl to Ying, and Mr. Gongsun specially prepared a thin gift, and I will thank you below. Although the gift is thin, the affection is heavy, and I hope that adults will not give it up! ”

Jin Shang opened the gift box and saw that there were twenty rare pearls inside, whose value was immeasurable, and he hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Jing, this... Mr. Gongsun is such a big gift, how dare you accept it?" ”

"Don't be polite!" Jing Sheng cupped his fists and returned the salute, "My aunt said that if you can make friends with adults, even if you have a daughter, what is the pity." ”

Jin Shang clenched his fists again: "Please Mr. Jing pass it on to your uncle, just say that he is a friend, and Jin Shang is willing to make friends." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"May I ask Mr. Jing, my uncle and girl are here in Yingdu, can I help here?"

Jing Sheng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Since my lord asked, my uncle has something to ask for." ”

"Oh?" Jin Shang looked at Jing Sheng, "As long as you do your best, Mr. Jing can say it." ”

Jing Sheng sneered and said, "Speaking of this, it's a little funny. My uncle is a natural chess fan, and I don't know where I heard that His Royal Highness has superb chess skills, and he has traveled thousands of miles to Ying, and he wants to ask His Highness for advice. ”

"Your Highness is skilled in chess?" Jin Shang was stunned, pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "I have served His Highness for several years, and I have never seen His Highness play against others, I don't know where your uncle heard about this?" ”

Jing Sheng shook his head: "I don't know even below." ”

Jin Shang closed the gift box and pushed it to Jing Sheng: "Mr. Jing, my uncle's request, I am afraid it will be difficult to obey my fate." Mr. Gongsun's generous gift, please also invite Mr. Jing..."

Jing Sheng pushed the gift box back and said with a smile: "Lord Jin, Mr. Gongsun's thank you gift is not the same as what my uncle invited, so don't refuse." ”

"That..." Jin Shang was slightly stunned, "How can my uncle explain there?" ”

Jing Sheng took out a letter from his sleeve: "As long as the adults can forward this letter to His Highness, my uncle will be grateful." ”

Jin Shang took the letter, carefully reviewed it, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he raised his head and asked, "May I ask Mr. Jing, what kind of letter is it?" ”

"Don't worry," Jing Sheng said with a smile, "It's written by my aunt himself, and there is no offense." My uncle said that as long as His Royal Highness reads this letter, he will definitely come to the inn in person and invite my uncle to talk. ”

Jin Shang arched his hand and said: "Since I say this, I believe you." Mr. Jing, if there is nothing else to do, I will say goodbye! With that, he put the letter in his sleeve, waved it over, and walked downstairs.

Jing Sheng picked up the gift box, followed him, sent him to the car, put the gift box beside him, and said goodbye.

In another elegant room on the second floor, the incense girl opened the curtains, looked at the back of Jin Shang getting into the car, and turned to Zhang Yi and said, "Husband, can this be done?" ”

Zhang Yi poked his head out, glanced at Jin Shang, smiled slightly, turned around and walked back indoors, pointed to the piano on several cases and said, "Your piano skills have made great progress, you have to practice quickly." ”

The fragrant girl said "um" and turned around and sat down in front of the piano.

Prince Huai was discussing the current crisis with the three young generals Jing Cui, Qu Kuo, and Feng Hou Chou, who were ordered to come, Jin Shang hurriedly walked in and said, "The minister knocks to see His Highness!" ”

"Jin Shang," Prince Huai glanced at him, "General Jing, they have already arrived, and the palace has sent people looking for you everywhere, but they can't see you, where have you gone?" ”

"Returning to His Highness," Jin Shang glanced at Jing Cui, "The minister received an invitation and went to meet a friend of General Jing!" ”

"Friends below?" Jing Cui was stunned, "Who?" ”

"It's a person surnamed Jing, from Yecheng."

Jing Cui asked eagerly, "But Mr. Jing of Gongsun Roulin?" ”

"Exactly."

"Gongsun Roulin?" Tai Zihuai's face sank, "Why did a meat seller invite you?" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness," Jin Shangying said, "This person has an aunt named Zhang Yi, who is a scholar in the Central Plains and is well versed in the way of black and white. This person heard from nowhere that His Royal Highness has advanced chess skills, and he came to Yingdu to ask His Highness for advice. Mr. Jing did not know that General Jing had returned to Ying, and when he heard that the ministers were serving His Royal Highness, he specially sent people to the door to ask for help. ”

"Ask Hongu for chess lessons?" Prince Huai was stunned at first, and then sneered, "When the national disaster is at hand, don't say that this palace is not good at playing chess, even if it is good at playing, how can you have this leisure now!" Turning his gaze at Jin Shang, "How did you reply to him?" ”

"Back to Your Highness," Jin Shang's eyes rolled, "When the minister heard about this, he felt ridiculous. It's just that it hinders General Jing's face, and it is inconvenient to attack, so he said that His Royal Highness is busy with state affairs and has no leisure to play, so he wants him to leave Yingdi quickly and find someone else to play. ”

"Well," Prince Huai nodded, "very well back." And then? ”

"The man surnamed Jing refused to give up, took out a letter from his sleeve, and asked the minister to forward it to His Highness, and said that His Highness would definitely come to the inn to talk to his aunt in person when he saw this letter."

Everyone was stunned.

Prince Huai slowly turned his head to face Jin Shang: "Where is the letter?" ”

Jin Shang took out a book from his sleeve, took a few steps on his knees, and presented it with both hands.

Prince Huai opened it and saw that there was a silk book inside, and there were only seven characters on the silk book: "Does Your Highness want to play the world?" ”

Prince Huai's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly folded the silk book, put it in his sleeve, and turned to Jin Shang: "Where is this person now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's the inn next to Lishui."

Prince Huai got up suddenly: "Quick, set up the inn, and the palace will talk to him!" ”

"Obey orders!"
