Not far away, a eunuch's scream sounded: "Who is there?" Lord Huaishu's mind flashed, whether he should believe him or not. I saw that he spoke elegantly, and was not a traitor. He replied, "It's me!" ”

The eunuch heard the voice of the county lord Huaishu, and immediately smiled: "It's you, the county lord!" It's cold outside, and the county lord rests early. Zizhu said loudly: "The county lord will go back to the house to sleep immediately, and my father-in-law can leave with confidence!" The eunuch said, "The slave is gone!" ”

Miyamoto Musashi said: "I didn't expect you to be the lord of the county, I thought you were a palace maid." The county lord of Huaishu smiled: "How about the county lord, what about the palace maid?" Miyamoto Musashi said, "It's all the same!" Lord Huai Shu said, "It's better to sit down and talk." ”

Although Zizhu saw that Miyamoto Musashi had no intention of violating it, he thought that he was a person of a different race, and he was of the same clan as the Japanese Kou. Now that the county lord of Huaishu wants to sit down with the Dongying people for a long talk, he feels that something is very inappropriate in his heart.

She hurriedly glanced at the county lord of Huaishu, but the county lord of Huaishu turned a blind eye. Zizhu had no choice but to stand beside Lord Huaishu angrily.

Miyamoto Musashi happily sat down. Lord Huai Shu said: "Daxia, as a person from Fanbang, you can speak fluent Chinese, which is really admirable. Miyamoto Musashi stood his sword diagonally next to the stone bench, put his hands on his knees, and nodded his head slightly: "I don't dare to be a hero, just call me Miyamoto by the county lord." Since I came to the Central Plains and didn't learn Chinese well, wouldn't I be mistaken for a widow, which would be very bad. He looked at Zizhu as he spoke, and Zizhu snorted and turned her head away.

Lord Huai Shu said: "Why did you cross the ocean and come to the Central Plains thousands of miles away? Miyamoto Musashi said: "I am a swordsman in the next generation, I have loved martial arts since I was a child, and I hope to become the first swordsman in the world." I studied swordsmanship hard every day, and the emperor lived up to his wishes, and I successively defeated Yagyu Sogan, Ito Ichitosai, Sasaki Kojiro and other famous people in Toei, which became a sensation. Finally made me the first knife in Dongying. In order to make his martial arts attainments to a higher level, he decided to cross the ocean to seek the highest level of martial arts. ”

Miyamoto Musashi said: "It must be known that the Central Plains is the birthplace of martial arts, and there are many martial arts of various sects, and it is not easy to integrate them. For this reason, I fought everywhere, and successively defeated the Kunlun faction Mu Shi Dao Chief, the beggar gang Elder Jin Ximin, and the Huashan faction Min Yi Martial Dao Chief, and when I challenged the head of the Wudang faction, Qingyang Dao Chief, I lost one and a half moves. ”

"I am not reconciled, and I am determined to stay in the Central Plains until I defeat the masters of the various major sects in the Central Plains and win the title of the world's number one swordsman before returning to Dongying. Later, I heard that the Shaolin Yijin Sutra can enhance the cultivation of internal strength, but the Shaolin Temple is the land of the Crouching Tiger, the Hidden Dragon, and the masters in it are like clouds, so it is not easy to steal the treasure of the temple. ”

"I sneaked into the Shaolin Temple several times without success, and once I almost got into danger. I accidentally heard that there was a copy of the Yijin Sutra hidden in the palace, and I thought that the palace was not as difficult to enter as the Shaolin Temple, so I came here. Only by acquiring the martial arts of the top level of the Central Plains can you show your ambitions. ”

Lord Huaishu put his hands on his hands, and he was fascinated by the listening, and he didn't even blink his eyes. It was something she had never heard of. Don't even think about it. It was the first time I heard the names of Ito Ichitosai, the master of Toei, and others, and even the names of the various sects and factions in the Central Plains for the first time.

She only felt that the martial arts were full of expectations, and it was much more interesting than being in the capital all day. As everyone knows, martial arts is a place of fighting, and there are many crises everywhere. Although Miyamoto Musashi said it lightly, there must have been thrilling things in it. The county lord of Huaishu had no experience in the rivers and lakes, so he listened easily, thinking that martial arts were just a competition and learning from each other.

"What happened later?" she asked. Have you found the Yi Jin Sutra? Miyamoto Musashi smiled bitterly: "I thought the palace would be better than the Shaolin Temple." Unexpectedly, I sneaked into the palace and found that this place is very large, and there are so many houses that I am afraid that I will not be able to find it for a year. In order to hide from others, I could only enter the palace at night, but it was even worse, turning east and west without a clue. Instead, I was attracted by the sound of your flute. Although I didn't find anything tonight, at least I didn't make a trip in vain. Hear the beautiful sound of the flute. ”

Lord Huaishu heard Miyamoto Musashi praising her flute, and his heart was quite happy, and said, "What did you hear?" Miyamoto Musashi said: "Your flute sound seems to carry a sense of longing, which is regrettable. Lord Huaishu nodded and sighed, "That's true." ”

Miyamoto Musashi said: "There is a wish below, and I hope that the county lord can fulfill it." Lord Huaishu smiled: "As long as I can do it, I will definitely help." Miyamoto Musashi said: "Does the county lord know where the Yijin Sutra is hidden in the palace?" Lord Huai Shu said: "It's the first time I've heard of the Yijin Sutra. I really didn't know that the palace actually hid this thing. However, since Miyamoto has opened his mouth to help, I will definitely inquire about his whereabouts for you. ”

Miyamoto Musashi was overjoyed when he heard this, got up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you to the county lord first." Lord Huaishu got up and said, "With a show of hands, Miyamoto doesn't have to be polite." I don't know where Miyamoto lives, I'll let you know as soon as I have news. Miyamoto Musashi said: "I live in the Penglai Inn." ”

Zizhu said softly beside him: "Master, it's late at night, it's time to go to bed." Miyamoto Musashi said: "I'm sorry, I'm going to say goodbye." When he turned to leave, Lord Huai Shu said: "Miyamoto is slow!" Although you have good martial arts, the palace is heavily guarded after all, and I advise you not to trespass, lest you be misheard. ”

Miyamoto Musashi turned around again, came to Lord Huaishu, took out a short knife from his arms, and said, "You and I are like each other at first sight, and it can be regarded as fate." This knife was made by a famous teacher. I give it to you today as a greeting gift. Lord Huaishu shook his head and said, "I don't dare to accept such a generous gift, and I ask Miyamoto to take it back." ”

Miyamoto Musashi's hand did not retract, but stretched it out a little more. He said solemnly: "You are the one I talk to the most in the Central Plains, and the only one, maybe the last." If you don't take it, you look down on it. ”

Lord Huaishu secretly thought: Miyamoto's sincere feelings, if he doesn't accept it, it will hurt his self-esteem. But it doesn't make sense to accept other people's belongings for no reason. What should I do? Her willow brows furrowed slightly, and she thought about it. She took the short knife and handed it to Zizhu, and at the same time presented the jade flute in her hand with both hands, and said, "Thanks to the love of Miyamoto Hero, I will give myself a treasure." If there is no merit, I will give it back with a jade flute, talk about a piece of heart, and ask Miyamoto to smile. ”

Miyamoto Musashi is an open-minded and easy-going person, and without hesitation, he took the jade flute, hugged his fists and said, "Say goodbye below." Soon, he silently climbed over the wall.

Back in the room, Zizhu closed the door and said, "Master, what should I do with this knife?" The palace is not allowed to bring sharp weapons! Lord Huaishu muttered: "Miyamoto is well-intentioned, and he can't abandon it." Since the palace is not allowed to hide this thing, it is better for you to leave the palace tomorrow and bring it back to the house. Zizhu pointed to herself: "Me! I don't dare. In case the guards find out, the slave and maid's life is not guaranteed. ”

Lord Huaishu said: "You hide the short knife on your body, will the guards search you?" Zizhu crossed his hands on his hips and said, "That's the same, who called me the eldest princess!" Lord Huaishu "shh It's not good for others to hear this. Besides, I'm not a princess yet! Zizhu said: "As soon as the prince ascends the throne, aren't you the eldest princess!" It's only a matter of time. Lord Huaishu smiled: "Don't be naughty, hand me that short knife and take a look." ”

Lord Huai Shujun saw that the short knife was only slightly longer than the dagger, and the scabbard was black and swarthy, and there were no carvings, which was very usual. She grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled it out, only to see a flash of cold light, and it was cold. Zizhu said on the side: "It looks pretty sharp." Lord Huaishu put the knife back on the table and said, "The saber of the martial arts master is naturally extraordinary. ”

Zizhu smiled and said, "Master, I think you and that Miyamoto 。。。。。。 Hey" Huai Shujun said: "What are you doing?" Dead girl, what do you want to say? Zizhu smiled: "I said you don't have to be annoyed!" Lord Huaishu said: "If there is a fart, let it go!" "I think you and he seem to be exchanging love gifts!" After Zizhu finished speaking, she hurriedly jumped back. For fear that Lord Huaishu would chase her.

After hearing this, Lord Huaishu not only didn't chase Zizhu, but the whole person was a little stunned. Zizhu suddenly felt strange, and slowly paced over, looking at the pair of demented eyes of Lord Huaishu. Hurriedly shook his hand in front of her eyes, and said, "Master, are you okay?" Lord Huaishu sighed: "Yes! I felt a sense of déjà vu with Miyamoto, as if I had been reunited for a long time. I was amazed at why I felt this way. ”
