Miss Anne remembers me! I was surprised and delighted, but also a little uneasy.

That time I made it to the end of the ring with a rogue trick, and I got two gold coins, and the black rat I was fighting was furious, clamoring for me to be unlucky, and it was Miss Anne who sent me out. It was only later that after I caused a big mess at the dock, Mr. Hu from the smuggling ship actually came to my school to look for me and knew my name. There were black rats on the ship at that time, but I never told anyone my real name except to Miss Anne, so it is very likely that Miss Anne leaked my name. Moreover, Miss Anne was also involved in the smuggling of Fushou Anointment, which made me a little uneasy. Although it has been a long time, I have always kept this matter in my heart, but I never expected that after a farewell in Wuyang City, she would meet unexpectedly in Wuyun City again, and this time she was in trouble. Seeing that the big men were about to approach, I didn't care to say much, so I stopped in front of Miss Anne and said, "Miss Anne, you stand behind me, and I will stand in their way." ”

That being said, I'm still a little apprehensive. These people are no better than those Wei Huaizhen, last night Wei Huaizhen and I put the three of them right, although the real knife and gun, but at that time there was no need to scruple about anything. But now that I'm on the street, I can't fight without any scruples, and the garrison will come at any time.

I blocked Miss Anne, and the others were a little surprised, and one of the people who seemed to be in the lead rushed to the front, and stopped, and said, "Boy, this is not your business, don't come to stir up the troubled waters." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay, then you can go back quickly, save yourself the hardship." ”

These guys are all very strong, and I don't want to them. But the man was obviously unwilling to give up like this, and when he heard me laugh, his face sank, and he shouted: "Ah Chuan! I didn't know what he meant, when someone suddenly pounced from behind.

The man was very tall, and his arms were longer than the average person, and he almost fell to his knees when he stood. Not only are my hands long, but my legs are also very long, although I haven't practiced any fists and feet, but I was born with such long legs, and I ran much faster than ordinary people, and suddenly rushed out from behind those people, and I was caught off guard and grabbed by his shoulders.

In boxing, grabbing someone's shoulders is a thankless task, unless the force is strong enough to crush the opponent's shoulder blades at once, it is like sealing your hands, and the opponent can fight back with all your might. Obviously, this guy named Ah Chuan has never learned boxing at all, and if I fight back with all my might, it will be enough to take the opportunity to kick him in the front and knock him unconscious. It's just that Uncle Xuan told me when he taught me to cut iron fists, you must first learn mental techniques to learn boxing, unless you are at a moment of life and death, you can't make a dead hand to a layman, so you just sink your body, take your shoulder out of his palm, bow your left foot, sweep your right foot, "bang", and sweep at the crook of his knee. Although this kick is not very powerful, this Achuan man is tall and powerful, but he can't withstand such a kick at all, and his feet are soft, and the person has already fallen down with a "bang".

This guy is a head and a half taller than me, and his body is a circle bigger, but he was kicked down by me just like that, and the others were stunned, and those who wanted to rush forward couldn't help but stop. I didn't wait for this Ah Chuan to run, I hurriedly took two steps back, and said to Miss Anne and Xiang Tiange: "Run!" ”

There is a fight on the street, and if the garrison is recruited, it is really difficult to clean up. I don't know what Miss Anne did to provoke these people, but they were all dressed as co-workers, most of them were instructed by others, and now they are still smearing oil on the soles of their feet and slipping away. I suddenly started with them, Xiang Tiange seemed to want to come forward to help me, and when I said to run, he was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and he chased after me after I ran for a while.

I ran beside Miss Anne, but I saw that she was not slow in a long dress. After running a few street corners, and there were more people, and running like this would attract suspicion, I stopped and said, "Miss Annie, get rid of them, let's rest." ”

Miss Anne stopped, reached out and stroked her sideburns, raised her head and said, "Chu Hanbai, it turns out that you came to the imperial capital?" ”

I nodded and said, "yes." Miss Anne, how did you provoke these people? ”

Before Miss Anne could agree, Xiang Tiange had already run over and interjected, "Miss Anne, is Li Yilin harassing you?" ”

Miss Anne nodded. I said, "Li Yilin? Who is he? ”

Xiang Tiange said: "That's also a playboy of the justice group, but he doesn't often be with people." He is the nephew of the Ministry of Works, and his family is very rich, and that piece of land is his family's private property, and this man often tricks women into it. ”

Xiang Tiange hated the people of the Justice Group to death, if Miss Anne also offended these people, could she have been bullied by that Li Yilin? But I didn't dare to ask Miss Anne this, and I felt an indescribable discomfort as if I had been scratched by a little paw. Miss Anne said: "Yes, Chu Hanbai, if it weren't for you and your friend, something would really happen today, and I would be afraid to die." ”

When she spoke, her eyes widened, and she really looked a little scared. I felt relieved, thinking that if she was really bullied by that Li Yilin, she shouldn't have such a good time, so I said, "Miss Anne, where do you live?" I'll send you back. ”

As soon as I said that I wanted to send her, she said "ah" and said, "No need, I live quite far away, let's call a car." ”

I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she didn't let me send it. But I couldn't force her back, so I said, "Okay, okay, Miss Anne, I'll call you a car." ”

My uncle gave me more than one gold coin, enough to buy a donkey. There were quite a few carriages in Fog Cloud City, so I called one, and when I saw Miss Anne getting into the carriage, I felt a little disappointed. She got into the car, but pulled the window, poked her head out and said, "Chu Hanbai, thank you, where do you live?" I'm free to thank you. ”

As soon as I heard that she wanted to thank me, my heart was crisp and itchy, and I wondered how she would thank me, so I said: "I have been staying at my uncle's house for the past two days, but I am going to Mingxin Yuan after the holidays, and I usually can't come out." ”

Miss Anne's brow suddenly raised, and she said, "Are you in Mingxin Academy?" Who is your uncle? ”

"It's Fu Yanshu, the king of Shuiming."

Miss Anne was stunned and smiled: "I didn't expect that Gongzi Chu is still a famous family." Alas, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to come to your uncle's house to see you. ”

When she heard me say my uncle's name, a strange look flashed in her eyes. Although I immediately covered it up, I still saw it. But I'm not surprised, my uncle is the number one general in the world and the marshal of the Great Qi Empire, if Miss Anne comes to the Shuiming Palace, I am afraid that she will be interrogated by the Si Yan at the door for a long time, so she will be so ridiculed. I said, "It's okay, my uncle is very kind, and he's about to leave." Miss Anne, where do you live? I'll go see you. ”

Miss Anne pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm going to leave too." Hanbai, there will be a fate in the future, I will invite you to dinner. ”

This was a perfunctory remark, but I was glad to hear her say this, and stretched out my hand and beckoned, "Miss Anne, be careful, and stay safe." ”

Watching the carriage take Miss Anne away, I turned to Xiang Tiange and said, "Brother Xiang, let's go too." ”

As soon as Miss Anne left, Xiang Tiange also looked depressed, I called him, and he came back to his senses and said, "Oh." After a pause, he said, "Gongzi Zheng, why does Miss Anne call you Chu Hanbai?" ”

"I have another surname, which is the surname Chu. My father admired Chu Shuai, so he gave me the surname Chu. ”

Actually, my surname was Chu. It's just that I don't follow my father or mother, and my grandfather is Chu Xiuhong, so it's not easy to tell Xiang Tian Geming, so I said it by the way. It's just that Xiang Tiange was stunned and sighed: "It's really admirable that Lord Ling Zun admires Chu Shuai so much. Otherwise, I will also change my name to Chu Tiange. ”

I thought to myself that you are not my grandfather's grandson, and you have to be surnamed Chu for something. He is very easy to trust people, and as soon as Wei Huaizhen and the three of them said that they were from the Wude Camp in Xiyuan, he immediately looked like he was in a heart-to-heart, and he didn't notice that the three people were actually wary of him. It's just that I always run into those scheming people in the city, even if Lu Dingyu is also calculating me, Xiang Tiange and other rectums don't need to be guarded. I smiled and said, "There's no need for this, your surname was given by your father, so you don't need to change it." Brother Xiang, while you are free today, you can pass on my Liuhua Demon Moon Slash first. ”

I'm afraid that Xiang Tiange will have to ask questions about the east and west, anyway, he promised to pass on my sword technique, so he won't ask more. Xiang Tiange nodded and said, "Well, go to my house." ”

Xiang Tiange's home is a blacksmith shop. The iron is noisy and dirty, so it is located in the corner of that square, and there is a circle of big trees planted outside, so as not to disturb the neighbors. In this way, it is very quiet. When Xiang Tiange led me to open the door and enter, I saw that the brass lock on his door was extremely exquisite, and I couldn't help but look at it twice, Xiang Tiange saw that I was looking at it, and said: "Zheng Gongzi, please come in, I was playing at that time, it was not worth it." ”

As soon as I heard that he had done it himself, I remembered the two knives he brought with me last night, and said, "Brother Xiang's craftsmanship is really amazing, but it's a pity that those two good knives were made last night." ”

Xiang Tiange said: "Those two? It's just a temporary hit by me, it's nothing. As he spoke, he took out a small dagger from the closet and said, "Zheng Gongzi, please look, this 'dragon tooth' is my proud work." ”

This dagger is only three inches, the wooden sheath is simple and unpretentious, not even lacquered, and a small "Ge" character is engraved on the handle. As soon as it was pulled out, although it was dull, the blade of the knife was full of small patterns, and the cold air was overwhelming, similar to a piece of ice. I was taken aback and asked, "How can this dagger be so cold?" ”

Xiang Tiange said: "This is made with the essence of cold iron, folded into two hundred and eighty-seven stacks, and quenched with distilled snow water. ”

I was stunned and said with a smile: "Is the water used for quenching also particular?" ”

Xiang Tiange said: "I am exquisite. At the beginning, I used well water for the knife, and I usually don't see anything unusual. After getting this piece of cold iron, it was carefully made, and it was only possible to make a peerless blade, but after quenching, it was found that there were many sand holes, and the quality of the knife was not very good, so it had to be re-tempered. It was only after four hits that I realized that it was from the quenched water. There are a lot of impurities in the river water, and these impurities tend to seep into the blade during quenching, making the knife quality worse, so I always use well water. But the well water looks clear, but there are actually a lot of impurities. ”

I don't know anything about the art of forging, but Xiang Tiange is obviously good at it, so when he talks about it, he talks uncharacteristically endlessly. When I heard him say that there were a lot of impurities in the well water, I was surprised, "Isn't the well water clean?" I have seen the well water, and it is all clear and clear, without any turbidity. ”

Xiang Tiange said: "Sprinkle some salt in the water, can you see any turbidity?" These impurities, like salt, are inherently soluble in water. After I figured out this section, I used to take the water from the wells and rivers everywhere to distill, and found that after the water was evaporated, it would leave dross, only the snow water was the least, so I took the snow water and distilled it again, and the water obtained was very few impurities. Quenching with this water brought out the essence of this piece of cold iron. It's just a pity that I figured this out too late, and I returned to the furnace four times in vain, and it turned out that it was enough to fight a waist knife, but in the end, it was only enough to hit this dagger. ”

I was amazed and said, "It turns out that there are such thoughts, and outsiders really don't know." ”

I put away the dagger and was about to hand it back to him, when Xiang Tiange suddenly said: "Zheng Gongzi, I don't dare to thank you for the grace of saving each other, Zheng Gongzi is a disciple of Uncle Tan, I will give you this dragon tooth." It's a pity that I'm not good at carving, and this wooden sheath is only made indiscriminately. ”

When I heard that he was going to give me this dagger, I was surprised and delighted. My uncle gave me a howling sea knife before, and that was a waist knife. At the beginning, my mother said that this knife was too valuable, and she was afraid that I would take it out and get into trouble, so she kept it and refused to let me use it. Although he brought it with his uncle when he came to Wuyun City, Mingxin Yuan was not allowed to bring weapons in, so he usually put them in the Shuiming Palace. And this dragon tooth is just a small dagger three inches long, almost a toy, even if it is brought to Mingxin Temple, it is nothing. I was afraid that he would regret it, so I hurriedly said, "Brother Xiang, thank you so much." "Reach out and tuck it into your bosom.

Xiang Tiange said: "Gongzi Zheng, go to the backyard, I'll see if you still have a few ways to flow the Demon Moon Slash." ”

Xiang Tiange's home is very small, but the backyard is quite large. Although it is not as big as my backyard in Wuyang City, it is also two feet square. Xiang Tiange must have practiced knives from time to time at home, and this backyard was very smooth. He took a wooden knife from under the wall of the back doorway, and I said he was going to hand it to me, and he held it in his hand to see it. This is also an ordinary wooden knife, but it is polished to be very smooth, but no matter how smooth it is, it is only made of wood, I don't know why he has a reluctant expression, and I didn't see him hand it over for a long time, and said in surprise: "Brother Xiang, what's wrong?" ”

Xiang Tiange came back to his senses when I called him, handed me the wooden knife and said, "Zheng Gongzi, please." Seeing that I was holding the wooden knife, he said again: "Zheng Gongzi, please be careful when you use it, don't break it." ”

That dragon's tooth dagger was a sharp-haired sword, and he gave it to me without blinking an eye, but I don't know why this wooden knife was so important. I said, "Is this wooden knife valuable?" ”

He paused and said, "It's not precious, it's just that my wife saw that I was grinding very roughly, and I always wore out my hands, so it took several days to polish it for me." ”

It turned out that he was a man of sight and thought, and he remembered his unfortunate wife. I was a little gloomy and said, "Okay, I'll be careful." ”

If the wooden knife is a battle, it may be broken, but if you practice it yourself, you just don't hit the stone stump, and it won't break. Uncle Tan taught me this way, although he was not as attentive as Uncle Xuan, but he was also very meticulous. At that time, he praised me for my extraordinary qualifications, and even more so when he heard that I was doing well in school. When I told Uncle Tan that I had passed on this Liuhua Demon Moon to the whole set, I took the knife and said, "Brother Xiang, I will be here." ”

Xiang Tiange kept looking behind his back, listening to my words, he scratched his scalp, and said a little dazedly: "You have learned all the 'flow' formulas, but the 'demon' words are missing three ways, which is also a bit plausible, but how can it seem to be self-justifying?" ”

I said, "Oh, Uncle Tan told me that because he didn't learn the full set of the full Liuhua Demon Moon Slash, he later adapted and completed it with a different faction sword technique." ”

Before Uncle Xuan came to Wuyang City, there were also shadow slashing knives in Wuyang City, but they were not complete. Uncle Tan knows both of these knives, but both knives are not complete, but he is very good at pondering, using the changes of the Liuhua Demon Moon Slash to make up for the Shadow Slashing Knife, and using the Shadow Slashing Knife to make up for the Liuhua Demon Moon Slash. Later, after Uncle Xuan came, his shadow slashing knife was fully learned, but the Liuhua Demon Moon Slash was still incomplete. However, Uncle Xuan also said that although these two knives are very different, they have one thing in common, they are both the kind of knife skills that are known for their skill, so they can indeed be integrated. Xiang Tiange nodded and said, "I see." However, Zheng Gongzi, since you want to learn the whole Liuhua Demon Moon Slash, you have to forget all the 'demon' words taught to you by Uncle Tan. ”
