Chapter 30: A Girl

Your Excellency, the gathered crowd gradually dispersed.

Tonight, the poetic lines of the literati and writers were dim in the shadow of the fist, and even the onlookers who had left were still discussing the battle just now, and the young man broke their minds again and again.

The bustle on the edge of Lishui is still the same, and the lights are brighter by this little episode tonight, some people are happy and some are sad, and the excitement that belongs to the unique beggar night has also reached a climax after this scene. However, the other protagonist of the story has long since disappeared into the night, leaving nothing behind.

Shen Jing, who took advantage of the chaos to leave, was walking on the way back to Hongni Lane at this time. Xiaocha and a few other girls followed behind Shen Jing and Su Yao, and the previous fears were all dissipated at this time, and they were chattering about Shen Kuang's handsome deeds of defeating the old man.

Su Yao, who walked side by side with Shen Jing, took off the veil to cover her face, and the evening breeze was blowing, wantonly blowing her green silk and skirt. She walked slowly, and from time to time she looked down at her steps, as if she wanted to say something. After a while, she finally spoke slowly, "Thank you for saving me again." โ€

Shen Jing turned his head to look at her, smiled and waved his hand: "What is polite between us, I originally hated those bastards who bullied people, this time they actually bullied you, of course I have to teach them a lesson." As he spoke, he danced his fist with a resolute expression.

Su Yao smiled, she had been in contact with Shen Guo for some time, and the relationship between the two had become more and more familiar, so she didn't say any more polite words. "I actually knew you were very powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

Listening to Su Yao's praise, Shen Jing grinned happily: "It's not that good, I'm still far behind the master!" โ€

This is a humble statement, but it always sounds like boasting. Su Yao said with a smile: "With the strength of the Sword God seniors, there are few opponents in the entire rivers and lakes, and you are not being modest compared to your predecessors, but more like praising yourself for your strength." โ€

Shen Jinghan said with a smile: "It may be that I haven't fought much with people since I practiced martial arts, so I don't know how high my cultivation is." I used to ask the master a lot, but the master didn't tell me, he just told me over and over again that he hadn't reached the grandmaster yet. โ€

Su Yao said slowly as she walked: "Your cultivation has reached the early stage of the Returning Yuan Realm, and I don't know how deep the internal force is." I can feel that the old man just now is very strong, just like the feeling that Uncle Mu gave me in the past, they should all be the Great Perfection of the Returning Yuan Realm. Your internal strength is a few points stronger than him, maybe you have reached the level of a grandmaster. โ€

Shen Jing shook his head and said, "The master said that I am still far from the realm of a true grandmaster, so he shouldn't lie to me." It may be that my internal strength is deeper than the ordinary Returning Yuan Realm, but I am still far from the level of the Grandmaster. โ€

"In short, it's a very powerful realm." Su Yao said with a smile.

The corners of Shen Kuang's mouth also rose slightly: "Actually, my swordsmanship is even more powerful." โ€

"In that case, I have a great friend."

Shen Jing patted his chest and smiled: "Of course! I'll cover you from now on. โ€

In the night, the two laughed while walking, and the atmosphere was relaxed. There were several banging explosions in the sky in the distance, and the two turned their heads to see that most of the sky had been illuminated, which was the sound of fireworks explosions. Shen Kuang, Su Yao, and several little girls were all attracted by this beautiful scene, and gradually stopped.

Looking up at the sky, watching the colorful fireworks of different shapes continue to bloom like rain, and then fall one after another, it is extremely beautiful. The fireworks in the world are scorching and colorful; The obsession is light and vast, as vast as fog, and all the unhappiness of tonight will also go away with the wind with the dissipation of this round of fireworks.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

The eastern sky showed a few rays of red light, the mist gradually dissipated, and the morning in the red mud alley was still so quiet and peaceful.

Shen Guo still got up early and practiced his swordsmanship under the peach tree. The women who got up early smiled and praised when they saw it, and it was because their own girl had already told her what had happened last night. Uncle Zhu was across a whole alley, and when he saw Shen Jing's figure from a distance, he shouted: "Xiao Qian'er! The loudness of the voice shocked the neighbors. It seems that the dullness formed by Zhu Huyue's departure before has now dissipated, and the cheerful Uncle Zhu is back.

It's just that Uncle Zhu's voice was too loud, and several babies in the alley were noisy and crying, so they were scolded by the women. Shen Kuang's voice was not so loud, and he didn't dare to be so loud, so he only waved to Uncle Zhu from afar.

The sun is coming out, and a new day begins. At the mouth of the red mud alley, Uncle Zhu is cutting and cutting the newly arrived pork today, his hands are shiny, and he is humming a small tune from time to time, and he is in a very good mood.

"Uncle!" Suddenly there was a low shout from the mouth of the alley.

Uncle Zhu looked over when he heard this, and saw two girls coming to the alley at some point. One was wearing a white dress with a white veil to hide his face, and the other was wearing a dark green long dress, waving to her at the moment.

"What's the matter, girl?" Uncle Zhu responded with a smile, and the work in hand continued.

Hearing Uncle Zhu's response, the girl asked again, "Uncle, where does that sword-practicing boy in the alley live?" โ€

"Sword practice? Juvenile? Uncle Zhu muttered two sentences and immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "Ao~, girl, you are talking about a small situation, his house is not far from here." You go all the way down the alley, and you see the one with a willow tree in the courtyard, and he should have just finished dancing with his sword and was at home. โ€

Hearing this, the girl who asked the question looked happy, turned her head to look at the woman in white beside her, and said, "Miss, it's in front of the alley!" โ€

"Then let's go."

"Thank you, uncle." When leaving, the girl did not forget to thank her.

Looking at the backs of the two girls, Uncle Zhu was suspicious and happy in his heart. What is going on, Uncle Zhu couldn't think about it for a while, but he knew that Xiao'er had found two more daughters-in-law, and the girl in white was still... I can't help but laugh.

"Miss, the houses in this alley are so beautiful." The girl was attracted by the buildings in the alley, so she walked slowly.

"This herringbone house structure is similar to the folklore of the East China Sea, and perhaps some of the families here came from there."

"It's so pretty!" The girl sighed.

Today's swordsmanship has been practiced, Shen Jing is sitting at the stone table under the willow tree at this time to rest, he took a handful of cold water from the pond and poured it on his face, and the feeling of heat in the summer was instantly much less.

Su Yao sat across from him, looked at him and asked, "Are you practicing your Shen family's family heirloom swordsmanship?" โ€

Shen Guo picked up the herbal tea on the table and poured it violently. "Today's practice is the sword that the master taught me, called Hango!"

Su Yao exclaimed: "The famous swordsmanship of the predecessor of the Sword God? โ€

"My master is really so famous in the rivers and lakes?"

"That's right, Nanke Sword God Li Chengren, almost everyone in the rivers and lakes who goes south and north knows it!"

"Is it really that powerful? It may be that I haven't seen my master make a move for so many years, Sword God, this nickname is really majestic. โ€

He knows how powerful the master is, but there is no comparison from childhood to adulthood, so he can't measure how powerful the master is, but now looking at Su Yao's reverent expression and the title of the master's sword god, Shen Jing can also know what level the master is powerful. Speaking of the master, I can't help but think of the master's departure, I haven't seen the master for several months, but I don't know where the next meeting will be.

"Master, master, where have you been?" Shen Jing said silently in his heart.

Su Yao hadn't noticed the slight change in Shen Qian's expression, and still said on the side: "Uncle Mu told me a lot about his predecessors in the past, although Uncle Mu used a knife, he admired the sword god seniors very much. Uncle Mu said that the predecessors of the Sword God in the First World War in the East China Sea fought alone against the five great grandmasters, which shows the strength of the predecessors, and there is still a sentence about the predecessors of the Sword God on the rivers and lakes. โ€

"Oh? What words? Shen Jing said curiously.

"Under my sword, there are no ghosts left. The predecessor's Hanwu sword is the second sword on the list of 100 swords, and with Hanwu's swordsmanship, there are almost few opponents in the rivers and lakes. โ€

"Second on the Hundred Swords List?" Shen Jing said suspiciously, it was the first time he had heard of the name of the Hundred Swords List.

"Well, second. This tooth of yours is number seven. Su Yao explained.

Shen Guo's words were very natural, but in fact, he didn't know what Su Yao was talking about the Hundred Swords List, so he smiled awkwardly: "Actually, I don't even know what the Hundred Swords List is?" โ€

Su Yao looked at him with a frown, as if she was looking at a fool. She was about to reluctantly explain to Shen Qian, but she never thought that a woman's voice suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard: "Uninvited, disturbing the two of you?" The voice was clear and euphemistic, which immediately attracted the attention of Shen Jing and Su Yao.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the door, and found two women standing there, one dressed in white with her cheeks covered by a white veil, and the other dressed in dark green, looking at them in the courtyard through the gap in the fence gate.

Shen Jing got up and walked to the door, and Su Yao followed. He opened the wooden door, and his eyes first fell on the woman in the dark green dress, a little girl, looking at Shen Jing with big eyes. Then she looked at the woman in white beside her, the woman's eyes were ethereal, and there was a dusty temperament in her cold outline, and she met Shen Jing's gaze at this time, with a smile between her eyebrows.

The identities of the two can naturally be seen at a glance, one is a rich lady and the other is a personal maid.

"Who are you?" Shen Jing looked at them and asked.

"My name is Chen'er, and this is my young lady. Childe shouldn't know us, we saw Childe's skills last night, and we admired it today. The maid named Chen'er spoke, and when she spoke, she smiled and gave people a sense of affinity.

However, Shen Kuang immediately showed vigilance after hearing her talk about last night's incident, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Chen'er noticed the change in Shen Jing's expression and knew that he would be wrong, so he hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, Childe, we are not in the same group as the person last night, it is my young lady, and my young lady admires Childe, so..."

Before she finished speaking, she was patted by the young lady: "Dead girl, don't you know how to be ashamed!" โ€

"Ah, miss, didn't you say it yourself?" Chen'er covered her head and dodged, pouting and muttering, very aggrieved. But the young lady actually didn't exert herself, it didn't hurt.

The woman in white looked at Shen Jing and said softly, "Can we go in and talk about it?" โ€

"Of course, let's come in first!"

Regarding their sudden visit, although Shen was still strange, he still made a gesture of invitation and invited them into the courtyard. Su Yao didn't speak on the side, only made eye contact with the young lady just now, and the other party politely bowed slightly, and she smiled.

The two girls were welcomed into the courtyard, and the four of them sat under the willow tree, and then Shen Jing poured a cup of tea for each of them: "Two girls, please drink tea." โ€

"Thank you, Childe." The young lady thanked her and casually untied the white veil on her face, revealing her true face. The woman's skin is like clotted fat, her eyebrows are like light smoke, her eyes are full of autumn water, and her face is covered with peach blossoms.

"I came to visit without telling me in advance, and I hope that the son will not mind. My name is Jiang Ning, her name is Chen'er, she is my personal maid, I don't know what to call Gongzi and this girl? Jiang Ning smiled after taking the tea, and her voice was tactful and melodious.

"Shen Qian!"

"Su Yao."

"Shen Gongzi, Miss Su! We came uninvited, hoping it didn't bother you. โ€

"It's not bothering, but I don't know what the girl is doing this time?" Shen Guo did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. He knew that it would be a matter of time before someone else would find out about the incident that had caused last night, but he didn't expect someone to find it so soon. Although Shen Guo saw that these two girls did not have any malicious intent, and it was not like they were here to find fault, he always felt in his heart that the identities of the two were not simple.

"Does Shen Gongzi know who the person who clashed with you last night was?" Jiang Ning didn't answer Shen Qian's question directly, but asked back.

"Which son of a high-ranking family?" Shen asked.

Su Yao on the side spoke: "People from the royal family." She spoke softly, as if she had known it for a long time.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised, and glanced at Su Yao meaningfully. But she hid it well, and her surprise didn't show it.

"Miss Su guessed correctly, that person is the thirteenth prince of Great Wei, Yuan Wu."

Although Shen Guo has not had much contact with the outside world, he is not a fool. The other party knows that the person who has a holiday with him is a prince with a prominent status, and he dares to contact him, so the other party's purpose must not be simple.

"Since Miss Jiang knows that we have offended the prince, why do you dare to come to us so fearlessly, aren't you afraid of being implicated because of this?"

Hearing Shen Jing's words, Jiang Ning smiled: "There are many princes in Your Majesty today, and the position of the crown prince has been hanging unbalanced, so every prince is secretly accumulating strength and wantonly competing for the throne. Although he is a prince, to put it mildly, there are still many people and forces in the world who dare to confront him. โ€

"For example, you guys!" Shen Guo looked at her deeply and said slowly.

Jiang Ning smiled: "It's easy to talk to smart people. โ€

"So what?" Shen Jing said lightly.

"Huh?" Jiang Ning frowned slightly and doubted.

Shen said: "So you want me to take refuge in you?" โ€

Jiang Ning shook his head: "The son is extremely talented, and he will definitely not easily turn to any force." And as far as I know, Gongzi also has a teacher, so Jiang Ning came here to talk about a cooperation with Gongzi. โ€

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, cooperation! I don't know if Childe is interested. As long as you let out your voice and say that Childe is our person, even if he is the Thirteenth Prince, he will not dare to do anything to Childe behind his back. The person who fought against Gongzi last night was called Mo Ying, and the people in the rivers and lakes called Mo Lao Ghost, and he was a person who would repay him, so he would definitely attack Gongzi secretly if he suffered a loss in the hands of Gongzi. โ€
