The summer sun sets late, and it is not yet dark as it approaches.

The sun's light turned a dazzling orange-red, and the entire sky was beautifully reflected.

Twenty-five miles outside the city, there is a flat valley against the green hills, where the Sucheng army returned from the border is stationed.

Shen Yuzhou still led the troops after sealing the marquis, but now there is no war, so he comes to the military camp every few days to inspect it.

Fu Mingyuan couldn't find Su Niannian in Changyin Pavilion a while ago, but he found the gate of Yuwang's Mansion, and was beaten up by the old man in the family and thrown into the barracks to experience it.

Seeing Shen Yuzhou, Fu Mingyuan was as excited as seeing the Bodhisattva's grandson monkey at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain, and almost cried.

"Yuzhou! You're here! Brother, I can't even get through it. ”

Disgusted, he pushed away Fu Mingyuan, who was sticking to him, and Shen Yuzhou looked up and down and said: "If you know, when you went to the camp to train, if you don't know, when you were sent to the mine to dig coal." ”

Fu Mingyuan's body was all gray, his face was still tanned, and his teeth were white and dazzling when he spoke.

"Do you still talk about brotherly righteousness? I've been suffering here for half a month and haven't seen you come to see me once, I don't care, you can find a way to get me out. ”

Looking at Fu Mingyuan, who was a scoundrel, Shen Yuzhou didn't answer, walked a few steps, took a spear on the weapon rack and threw it to him-

"Come on, let's practice."

Fu Mingyuan caught the gun and was staggered by the heavy weight, "Are you kidding!" This gun has to weigh more than 20 pounds, and I use it to fight you? ”

He put the gun back down and picked out another sword, "I'll use this." ”

Shen Yuzhou didn't force it, and took a sword casually, "Come on." ”

Fu Mingyuan took advantage of the fact that he hadn't turned around yet, looked into the air, and rushed over with an arrow step.

The orange-yellow light reflected on the sword body flashed and went straight to Shen Yuzhou's back. But before the castration was halfway through, it was cut off by another cold light, and the original trajectory was staggered.

Shen Yuzhou blocked Fu Mingyuan's sword body with his backhand, kicked the ground hard and spun around half a circle, and with a flip of the sword in his wrist, he rushed towards the other party's front door.

Fu Mingyuan's reaction was quick, his posture was as light as flying, and he leaned back and lowered his body against the ground and rushed forward. Seeing the opportunity, he rose into the air, and the tip of the sword slashed past Shen Yuzhou's shoulder.

The two have their own swordsmanship, one of them walks a steady and ruthless path, and the other occupies a light and agile one, and it is difficult to distinguish between the top and the bottom for a while.

The sound of the sword body meeting was endless, the sword light was shining, the loess on the ground was flying, and in an instant, there were already more than a hundred and ten moves between the two.

This stalemate didn't last long, only listening to the sound of "dang chang" twice, the swords in the hands of the two of them were broken in two-

Fu Mingyuan was caught off guard and went castrate, and suddenly bumped into Shen Yuzhou's shoulder, "Oops." ”

It was Shen Yuzhou who quickly helped him, otherwise he would have to fall a big heel.

"Could it be that I have been training in the camp well during this time?" Fu Mingyuan stared at the broken blade in his hand and muttered, "Is my strength actually so great?" ”

Shen Yuzhou slapped him on the shoulder, "You think too much." ”

After speaking, he bent down and picked up the remnant blade on the ground, took it in his hand and examined it carefully.

Fu Mingyuan leaned over, "Is there anything wrong with this sword?" ”

Shen Yuzhou said: "I can't see it, but I only used fifty percent of my strength, and it shouldn't be broken so easily." ”

Fu Mingyuan's eyes rolled, and he said shyly: "I know a particularly powerful swordsmith, as long as you say good things to my father and take me out of the barracks, I will take you to him." ”

Shen Yuzhou glanced at him, "Take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

Fu Mingyuan gritted his big teeth and squeezed his eyebrows, "Mutual benefit." ”

I don't know how Shen Yuzhou got through with Master Fu, anyway, Fu Mingyuan came out of the barracks smoothly the next day.

He got on his horse, raised his head and took a deep breath, "Wow, that's what freedom tastes like!" ”

Shen Yuzhou pulled the reins with one hand and pulled away the branches on the side of the road that could not bear the weight of the leaves.

"Where the hell does that swordsmith you said live?"

After leaving the city, it was almost an hour, and the scenery was getting more and more beautiful, but the population was becoming more and more sparse, not to mention the swordsmith, and I didn't even see the hilt of the sword.

"What are you anxious about, can't people have their own preferences? The Master I know loves seclusion. Fu Mingyuan said.

Seeing that Shen Yuzhou ignored him, Fu Mingyuan added: "Oh, it's almost here, by the river in front, just cross the bridge." ”

Shen Yuzhou clamped the horse's belly, and the horse ran out, leaving Fu Mingyuan behind him with a white face-

"Alas...... You guy, wait for me. ”

The sound of horses' hooves stopped at the edge of the bridge.

The river was not wide, and the bridge was very narrow, so the two tied their horses and crossed the bridge on foot.

There were several wooden houses on the other side of the bridge, and one of them had a large chimney on the roof that two or three people could not hold, and smoke was billowing out.

"Master Zhao, I've been waiting here for three days, I don't know if we can see each other today?"

Outside the wooden house, there was a group of people in strong suits, all of whom were wearing swords and carrying knives, dressed like people from the rivers and lakes.

Seeing Shen Yuzhou and the others approaching, one of the tall men with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke: "The two of you are also here to see Master Zhao?" ”

Fu Mingyuan clenched his fists, "Exactly." ”

The man didn't see him, and he talked to them in two or three sentences, "Then I'm afraid you won't see anyone." This master has a strange temperament, and everyone who sees it depends on the mood, we came three days ago, he ignored it, and plunged into the house to practice the sword, and a few of us only saw the little guy who delivered the food to enter the house. ”

Fu Mingyuan said with a smile: "Thank you brother Tai for informing me." ”

After speaking, he pulled Shen Yuzhou aside and whispered, "What if he doesn't come out?" We can't force ourselves, can we? ”

After all, they have a request for others.

Shen Yuzhou's eyes widened, "Don't you know this master?" ”

Fu Mingyuan laughed embarrassedly, "I just heard someone mention it when I was drinking once, isn't it because I'm afraid that you won't bring me out." ”

Shen Yuzhou angrily slapped the paw off his shoulder, turned his head and walked towards the wooden house.

"Little brother." He called the little man in the wooden house and asked, "Dare to ask when your master will be able to get out of the customs?" ”

The little maid in the house was about twelve or thirteen years old, and shook his head when he heard this, "I can't say, sometimes Mr. casts swords for a day or two, and sometimes for several months in a row." ”

Shen Yuzhou looked at the sky, the sun was about to climb overhead, and said, "I wonder if I can bring food to your husband today?" ”

The little servant was about to go to deliver food, and when he heard this, he shook his head again, "Mr. didn't see outsiders when he forged the sword, if I let you in, he would not only ignore you, but also blame me." ”

Sure enough, people with ability have a big temper.

Shen Yuzhou didn't ask anymore, shook his head and was about to leave, but at this moment he heard a sound of the door opening next to him-

"Mr. Zhao is out of customs!"

The group of Jianghu people rushed over first, and surrounded the swordsmith who walked out of the door.

"I'm not seeing you today, so let's go." Shen Yuzhou heard the people surrounded say this.

The little guy muttered in a low voice, "Sir, this is a sword forging that is not going well." ”

In the midst of the pleas of "senior", "master" and "sir", the swordsmith slowly walked towards the main room, and was about to raise his legs to enter the hall, but he hesitantly stopped beside Shen Yuzhou.

"You are?"

Shen Yuzhou only saw a middle-aged man in sloppy clothes and muscular muscles standing beside him, knowing that this was the capable master, he hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Shen Yuzhou, I came today to ask my predecessors about the blade." ”

"Shen Yuzhou." The swordsmith repeated his name and looked him up and down for a long time.

"Who are you Shen Tingshan?"

Shen Yuzhou raised his head, "It's my father." ”

The swordsmith looked at him in silence for a moment, then suddenly said, "Come in." ”

Several people in the rivers and lakes outside the house dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so they could only watch as Shen Yuzhou and Fu Mingyuan, who later followed, into the house.

"The younger generation is presumptuous, I don't know ...... the seniors and my father?" Shen Yuzhou asked.

The swordsmith smiled heartily, "I made the Ugin spear that your father used on the battlefield back then." Don't talk about him, even when you were a child, you also saw me, what? Don't recognize it? ”

Shen Yuzhou thought carefully in his heart, suddenly realized, got up and saluted, "Yuzhou to meet uncle." ”

Fu Mingyuan didn't know why, so he also followed to meet him, and wondered: "Why didn't I know that you still have an uncle?" ”

"Hahaha." The swordsmith laughed a few more times, "I haven't been back for many years, and Yuan'er doesn't recognize me anymore." ”

Fu Mingyuan's eyes gradually widened when he heard him say this, "Are you ...... Uncle Guo? ”

The swordsmith pursed his lips and said displeasedly: "What is it called, uncle, my sister has been gone for so many years, called uncle." ”

This person is the younger brother of Empress Zhao!

Fu Mingyuan obediently called his uncle, and spent half a day connecting him with the handsome boy in his memory.

If you talk about this uncle, you should still let Xiao Yunjiao shout.

They played together when they were children, and they met this uncle a few times, Fu Mingyuan still remembered that at that time, he looked like a crown of jade, looked like Pan An, and was a beautiful man, and then look at the unkempt man in front of him, and his body was very strong at a glance......

It's really like two people.

Zhao Zheng knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his expression, and took the initiative to solve their confusion, "In the early years, I followed the family's caravan to the north and south, and found a good teacher, and unexpectedly found that this casting weapon was very interesting, so I simply entered the industry, and then the master went and started a new stove." Anyway, I don't like those people in the capital very much, and I live here in Qingjing. ”

After a few words, he remembered and asked, "What did you just say you came to me to ask about the blade?" ”

Shen Yuzhou was still a little worried, but now seeing that this swordsmith was Zhao Zheng, he directly took out the broken sword in the baggage, "Uncle, look, is there anything wrong with these two swords?" ”

Zhao Zheng took it and looked at it for a while and said, "This is ...... Taken out of the barracks? ”

Shen Yuzhou nodded and said in a low voice: "Because this sword was taken in the barracks, there are many eyeliners in the city, so it is not easy to show people." ”

Zhao Zheng frowned, "This is a bit troublesome." ”
