Guan Kuang glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "I don't know what advice General Ling has?" ”

Ling Yinyun said: "Master Guan said that because Vice Admiral Wu was attacked by assassins, he was worried about the safety of Mrs. Quan. But I saw Adjutant General Wu this morning, and he told me personally that he didn't tell anyone about the assassination last night. ”

Closing Kuang Dun's speech, cold sweat flowed, he looked around, and everyone's eyes moved to him, waiting for him to answer. Guan Kuang coughed dryly and said, "When that group of assassins fled, they happened to be bumped into by me. I saw that Adjutant General Wu was also present. ”

Ling Yinyun asked, "Then why didn't Lord Guan help?" ”

Guan Shang Kuang said perfunctorily: "I was a little drunk at the time, and besides, the assassin ran too fast. He was worried about being pinched by this question, looked left and right, and hurriedly said: "The singer's performance is about to start, please forgive Guan for returning to the table." When they saw him depart, they looked at each other until the singer danced and they returned.

Qi Quan rode the music and whispered, "Thank you, Lord Ling." ”

Ling Yinyun shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ling is not only for Mrs. Quan, but also for his own innocence. Ling behaves rightly, sits up straight, and has a clear conscience, how can he make people reverse right and wrong. ”

Qi Quan glanced at him and said disapplausively: "How can this be, the concubine body also understands it somewhat, and men always like to brag about it." If Lord Ling doesn't deny it, others may regard you as a hero, but if the concubine body is not clarified, then she will end up with the name of the water-based poplar flower, and the difference is very big. ”

Ling Yinyun said: "If the word hero comes from this, it will be cheap, and Ling is not very happy." Ling Yinyun turned his head, stared at it for a long time, and said with a light smile: "Mrs. Quan just mentioned the topic of men, and the implication is that Mrs. Quan has heard about this very often. ”

Qi Quan was shocked in his heart, his eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure, and said: "Between slaves and maids, this matter will occasionally be mentioned, and the concubine body has not stopped it, so I heard a little, and I ask Lord Ling not to misunderstand." ”

Ling Yinyun said: "This is Ling's gaffe, self-punishment." With that, he lifted the glass and drained it. Qi Quan passed the jade hand, took the wine jug, and said softly: "Lord Ling rescued the concubine and let the concubine toast a glass." ”

Ling Yinyun remembered that she was drunk, and frowned: "This can't be done." ”

Qiquan said indifferently: "A cup should be fine." ”

Ling Yinyun still didn't allow it, he snatched back the wine pot with one hand, put it on the table, took the teapot from the Qiquan table with the other, poured a cup of tea, shook his head and smiled, and said, "Replace wine with tea, let Mrs. Ling Jingquan have a cup." Qi Quan's cheeks were full of goodwill, and his beautiful eyes looked at him, raised his teacup, and took a small sip.

As the feast continued, the singer had changed three sets of gorgeous clothes and danced at least five songs. After a long time, the singer withdrew again, lit the candle lamp, and lifted the curtains. Suddenly, the sunlight shone in, illuminating the interior of the annex brightly.

The guest of honor stood up, and Qi Muxiong raised the wine cup and toasted each other, and the hall was full of joy. Ling Yinyun knew in his heart that these people were going to start chatting about some things. As for what it is, it's not for sure, maybe it's a political matter, maybe it's an anecdote. Ling Yinyun was not interested, just drinking wine and emptying his mind.

I don't know how long later, everyone talked about casting knives, and then talked about martial arts. At this time, Guan Kuang stood up, glanced at Ling Yinyun, and said: "I have heard that General Ling is strong in martial arts, and he has shown his skills in winter hunting, I don't know if I can take this banquet to come to you to see the majesty?" ”

When Ling Yinyun heard this, he couldn't help but frown and feel confused. He secretly thought, although he is not a nobody, he is the only one, but when it comes to martial arts, he is also quite confident, how can he easily challenge Kuang, is he completely sure?

Qi Muxiong touched his beard and asked, "Could it be that Lord Guan wants to end up in person?" ”

Guan Shangkuang said with a smile: "It's not a secret, Deputy Captain Hong has admired General Ling for a long time, and he has long wanted to have a discussion, I wonder if I can have this honor today?" After finishing speaking, Hong Tong had already stood up, his eyes were cold, he looked directly at Ling Yinyun, and said, "Please also ask General Ling for advice." ”

Ling Yinyun thought for a moment before he suddenly came over. He speculated that Kuang Bacheng wanted to take advantage of this battle to get a glimpse of his fighting style, so that he could delve into how to dismantle or resolve it. If the ring is single-handed, there is nothing wrong with this move, Ling Yinyun is afraid that he will have a villain heart and have bad thoughts.

Guan Shangkuang saw that he was silent, his thoughts were calm, his eyes did not reveal what he was thinking, and urged: "Could it be that General Ling can't look down on him and refuses to have a try?" ”

If it was normal, this agitation would be useless, but Ling Yinyun looked around, not only the people of the Sword-forging Zhuang clan, but even the guests who came from afar, looking forward to it, as if they wanted to see him make a move. Ling Yinyun frowned, he knew that if he avoided it, he was afraid that the people here would look down on him, and then he would use false rumors, add fuel to the fire, and make a big deal of it, which would ruin his reputation.

Ling Yinyun turned his head away and glanced at Yin Xiu, who was sitting diagonally opposite, and the two glanced at each other and nodded to each other. Suddenly, Yin Xiu stood up and said with a smile: "Lord Guan, the righteous brother is not cowardly, but a little tired. To tell you the truth, since the winter hunting battle, the righteous brother has repeatedly encountered war books, and he is annoyed. As his brother-in-law, I am sharing the burden for him, if Deputy Lieutenant Hong is itchy, why don't you learn from Yin? ”

Hong Tong glanced at him and said coldly: "The opportunity is rare, Hong wants to learn from Mr. Ling." ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Yin Xiu's mouth, and he pretended to be humble and said: "What Deputy Captain Hong said is very true, a man is ambitious, and it is right. Yin was originally promoted to captain and was complacent, but now that he sees it, this position is too low, and it is normal for others to look down on him. It seems that Yin still has to work hard and accumulate combat exploits before he can fight with Deputy Captain Hong. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Although Yin Xiu's tone was gentle and his attitude was humble, he was sharp and sharp. You must know that Yin Xiu is also a school captain, at least one rank higher than Hong Tong, but Hong Tong doesn't take him seriously, everyone can't help frowning when they see this, thinking that Hong Tong is ambitious and arrogant.

Hong Tong couldn't help but waver when he saw everyone looking at him and talking with his ears, as if pointing at him. Guan Shang Kuang's face sank, and said: "Deputy Captain Hong, since Captain Yin is so interested, it is better for you to fight with him first, if you win, it is not too late to challenge General Ling." ”

Hong Tong panicked and said: "What Lord Guan said is very true, and he understands his humble position. ”

Qi Quan, who was sitting beside him, turned his head and glanced at Ling Yinyun, his eyes showed a look of worry, and he said sadly: "On the day of great joy, why should Lord Ling order people to use force. ”

Ling Yinyun said: "This is not a simple fight, but a prestige, if you avoid the war, you will not be convinced." Although Mrs. Quan is relieved, although he is light-hearted and picky on weekdays, he has the strength he should have. ”

Qi Quan glanced at him and said indifferently: "The words are picky, this thing came out of the mouth of General Ling, it sounds really strange, there is no such thing as a sentence, fifty steps and a hundred steps." ”

Ling Yinyun laughed and said, "I didn't expect that in the eyes of Mrs. Quan, Ling is such a person, it seems that Ling will avoid Mrs. Quan in the future, so as not to make people unhappy." ”

Qi Quan pursed his lips and complained: "Lord Ling, why do you want to retreat every time and force the concubine to retreat." ”

Before Ling Yinyun could reply, Hong Tong and Yin Xiu walked into the center of the entrance, and both sides held their wooden swords. The hall was solemn, everyone held their breath and silenced, and their eyes did not squint.

The two confronted each other for a long time, Hong Tong's eyes flashed sharply, and his front foot stepped out and slashed horizontally. Yin Xiu shook his backhand and stabbed on the ground, bouncing off his attack. Hong Tong was stunned, and then rushed to make a move.

Yin Xiu is mainly dexterous, supplemented by strength, focusing on the movement of his feet, while dodging, while displacement. Whenever Hong Tong thought that he could open the distance and reopen the posture, Yin Xiu suddenly attacked, and the speed caught him off guard. Normally, the two sides fight against each other, and most of them win or lose by strength and technique, and this kind of spy-type play is really rare, which makes him a little overwhelmed.

Hong Tong thought that the other party was just bluffing, and he would not dare to confront him head-on, so he turned his heart sideways and attacked with all his might. Unexpectedly, Yin Xiu didn't dodge this time, but actually took the move head-on and slashed hard. The two fought hard, Hong Tong was surprised, Yin Xiu was actually on par with him, not inferior.

Hong Tong was stunned for a long time, and it was precisely because of his wavering that Yin Xiu saw the flaws and began to attack. Yin Xiu's wooden sword followed him like a shadow, and it was like a maggot attached to the bone, striking back and forth, attacking left and right, without giving Hong Tong the slightest breath.

This kind of play is what Hong Tong is good at, but he hesitated and beat him hard. Just when Hong Tong wanted to fight hard, repel it, and regroup with the momentum, Yin Xiu took the initiative to retreat.

Hong Tong was breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't expect Yin Xiu's move to be ready to go. With a bend of his right hand, he pulled the wooden sword back like a string, and used the power of his hand to slam the wooden sword over, directly hitting Hong Tong's waist.

With a wail, Hong staggered and shrank to the other side. How could Yin Xiu let him go, as if he was fighting to the death, attacking and demolishing more than ten moves, Hong Tong couldn't stop this round of onslaught after all, and kept retreating.

Hong Tong raised his sword to resist, out of instinct for fear of injury, rather than accumulating strength. His spirit gradually decreased, and he was wounded, and within a while, he was knocked to the ground, and his face was painful.

Guan Shang Kuang's face fell, and he said: "This battle was won by Captain Yin, and I also ask the sword to keep people." ”

Yin Xiu still wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he heard Guan Shangkuang say this, he immediately put away his sword and said: "Deputy Captain Hong is really extraordinary, Yin won narrowly, and he really gave in." ”

When everyone heard him say this, they couldn't help but snicker secretly, how could it be lucky, it was clearly a big victory. Anyone who comes to see it can't see what this Hong Tong is capable of, and he can fight against him, if he doesn't stop in time, the scene will be even more ugly.

Qiquan doesn't like to use martial arts, the Lord is afraid of hurting his limbs and body, but if he fights hard in swordsmanship, she will also be happy. Although the two fought for a while, there were no casualties, Qi Quan stabilized his mind and said: "Captain Yin is still young, he has already shown his edge, and he is really a material that can be made. ”

Ling Yinyun said with a smile: "Mrs. Quan's praise has reached this point, even Ling has not been so honored. I wonder if Mrs. Izumi has a good impression of him? A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and I will help him. ”

Qi Quan glanced at him and said, "It seems that Lord Ling's mistake has been committed again." ”

Ling Yinyun scratched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Mrs. Quan is getting more and more powerful, Ling's trick doesn't work, and I can't force Mrs. Quan's inner words anymore." ”

While the two were chatting, Guan Shangkuang looked over and said, "It's rare to gather today, although Captain Yin has shown his hand, but General Ling has not yet made a move, which is a pity." If not, there are still many people under me who have admired the name for a long time and want to compete with Ling Zongbing. ”

Yin Xiu, who was standing in the center, was calm and comfortable, and said with a smile: "Yin's hand is hot, and he can fight a few more games." ”

Guan Kuang glanced at him and said, "This can't be done, Captain Yin has just fought fiercely, if the battle continues at this time, wouldn't it be unfair?" Or does Captain Yin look down on these people and think that they are not enough to worry about? In the face of Guan Shangkuang's pressure, Yin Xiu didn't dare to contradict it, and he stopped talking.

Ling Yinyun stood up and said, "What Lord Guan said is very true, Xiao Xiu, you step back first." Yin Xiu put down the big stone in his heart and happily returned to the table. Ling Yinyun's eyes flashed, he looked directly at Guan Shangkuang, and said with a provocative tone: "As Master Guan said, the opportunity is rare, and Ling is also eager to try." It's not a secret, Ling has also heard of Master Guan's swordsmanship for a long time, I don't know if I have the honor to ask for a few tricks today? ”

Guan Shangkuang was shocked: "Guan Mou doesn't take what people want, otherwise he will be said to be bullying." He also asked General Ling to fight with others first, and Guan would fight again depending on the situation. ”

Ling Yinyun sneered: "Didn't Lord Guan just say that he was worried that the continuation of the war would lead to unfair victory or defeat, why did he change his mind now and want to fight later?" Ling understood that Guan Daren was good at fighting, and he lacked interest in this kind of competition. If we go into battle with real swords, we can also witness the heroic posture of Lord Guan's sword. ”

Not only was Qiquan dumbfounded when he heard this, but everyone in the hall also gasped and were surprised. Ling Yinyun's words are to gamble with Guan Shangkuang on life and death. You must know that when the two sides fight, even if the wooden sword is used, it can still cause injuries, let alone use a sharp weapon.

Closed Kuang in a cold sweat, unable to speak for a long time. He knew in his heart that Ling Yinyun made this move to stab him in front of everyone. This kind of competition, if agreed, is equivalent to signing a life and death certificate, even if someone is killed, others will never blame, and the family must not complain.

Just as the surroundings were quiet, there was a silence, and there was a sound outside the door, and everyone looked over, and it turned out that it was someone sent by Le Pingjun who arrived at the annex. Ling Yinyun glanced at it and was surprised to realize that the person who was the leader was Guo Ping, who he had seen that night.

Guo Ping, dressed in gorgeous clothes and fluttering clothes, walked into the annex and said with a smile: "Did Guo miss something?" ”

Guan Kuang saw him coming, his heart flashed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Guo came just in time, the singer here is outstanding, Lord Guo must appreciate it." ”

Closing Kuang's eyes, Guo Ping nodded and said, "So that's the case, then Guo must take a look." After that, the singer was called out, the curtains were lowered, the music in the hall started again, and everyone seemed to be fighting in the past, as if they were passing by, no longer nostalgic, but immersed in singing and dancing.

Qi Quan sighed, glanced at him, and blamed: "You person, can you be angry with someone like him?" If the real sword is against each other, there will be an injury, does Lord Ling want to stain the banquet with blood? ”

Ling Yinyun's face was cold, and he said unhappily: "It turns out that Mrs. Quan has no confidence in Ling. I thought that Qi Quan would apologize, but unexpectedly, she put on a straight face and said angrily: "Lord Ling, you are enough, why are you aggressive and forcing the concubine to express her position?" ”
