I shook my head again and again and said, "I feel that he let me, I just took advantage of the sword, and he admitted defeat!" "You must know that the sword almost cut off Mu Shigu's wrist, I naturally don't want to say how good my ability is, and I also believe that Mu Shigu must be careless, my half a catty and eight taels, I still know, in addition, people in the rivers and lakes, they have to save some face for each other, and when they meet in the future, they are easy to talk.

Lin Sheng smiled slightly and said: "The tricks between masters are not about the number of tricks, you can see how good your skills are in one move." However, just now you and the Tiejiazhuang people had a move, the beginning of the knife skills are common, and the later tricks are really good, it seems that you first have your own skills, and then to Jinyiwei, learned some conventional martial arts, hey, our family often told your Lao Liao, Jinyiwei teaches kung fu, scare and scare ordinary people can also be, the real match, is to embroider the legs of the fist! I hurriedly smiled and said: "It's because I'm not good at learning, so my father-in-law laughs, and I look at my father-in-law's ability, it's really unfathomable!" ”

Lin Sheng laughed and said: "Although our family has practiced martial arts since childhood, it is unfathomable but we dare not be, hehe, Zhang Ying, there is a chance, our family will let Lao Liao teach you a few hands, you are a malleable talent, it is a pity not to be promoted." Come, let us see your dagger. ”

I was taken aback, I didn't take out the sword at all, but Lin Sheng knew that I was carrying a sword, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he hurriedly pulled out the short sword from his boots and handed it to Lin Sheng, Lin Sheng took it, pulled out the sword, looked at it carefully, and praised: "The sword body is simple, but the cold air is pressing, good sword and good sword!" ”

"Your Izumo sword is cast from the sky meteoric iron, although it is not sharpened like clay, the blade and hardness are also unusual swords, the heavy weapon of the Tiger Hill Sword Pool of the former Yue King Goujian, I don't want to see it today! Good sword, good sword! ”

It was the first time I heard the origin of this sword, and I was at a loss, wondering how my grandfather got it, Lin Sheng looked at me and said, "It seems that your ancestor is virtuous and got this sword." You know, how many people in the rivers and lakes are eager to get this sword! I was taken aback and just said, "I really don't know about these." I just think it's small, maybe it's better to use it for self-defense. Lin Sheng laughed and said: "As the saying goes, 'one inch is long, one inch is strong, one inch is short, one inch is dangerous', the big weapon is powerful, the momentum is compelling, but the short weapon is a dragon and a phoenix, which is amazingly exquisite." Seeing that your internal strength is not too deep, this sword lacks a little bit of spirituality. Those who practice martial arts pay attention to the unity of man and sword, you have to strengthen it! I nodded again and again, saying that my fists and feet and internal strength were really average, Lin Sheng said: "It's not a hurry, see that your foundation is good, take your time." Speaking of this, he added: "To tell you the truth, our family also has a sword, although it is forged by Fusang, it is also very sharp. As he spoke, he took out a short sword from his waist, about the same size as the Izumo sword, beautifully decorated, especially the hilt of the sword deliberately decorated with a golden chrysanthemum, my heart moved, the chrysanthemum of this sword can be similar to the scimitar of the iron cangtou, could it be that they have a relationship My thoughts flashed, I took a closer look, praised a few words, smiled and handed back Lin Sheng's short sword, he picked it up, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Ying, you have made great contributions, but you have cheapened those three old things for nothing, hehe, this may be fate!" ”

On that day, the eyes of the three fathers-in-law of Dongchang looked at the pearl of the night, it was clearly greedy, I guessed that the bead must be very important, and I vaguely felt that it had something to do with that father-in-law of Wang Zhi, but I couldn't say it to Lin Sheng, so I smiled and said: "Father-in-law Lin, the three of them are the father-in-law of Dongchang, I am a subordinate, I dare not give it!" ”

Lin Sheng nodded and said, "Young people should indeed respect the elders, although these three old guys are usually not in tune, they are also the old men of Dongchang!" After a pause, he said, "You may have heard of Xichang, where there was once a young father-in-law, very good, can be described as a general into the prime minister's talent, and Wang Yue and others swept the border, after returning to the dynasty, with the "Ming Law" as the criterion, almost cleaned the entire Ming court, but unfortunately at the critical moment, Emperor Xianzong did not persevere, so that the success fell short. ”

As he spoke, he lost something and fell silent, as if reminiscing about the past. I naturally knew that what he said was about Wang Zhi's father-in-law, but he didn't dare to interject, Lin Sheng suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "The three of them are all subordinates of the young father-in-law, and when they arrive at the West Factory, they don't necessarily have any skills, but they will be able to slap horses and attract people's like." Calling for wind and rain for a while, although he does not deliberately harm others, but he has a lot less backbone, and is disliked by ordinary people, and the young father-in-law values talents, not slaves. The young father-in-law was transferred to Nanjing, and the West Factory was disbanded, and the three of them returned to the East Factory. Remember, people always have to have some talents, and this is also the ability to eat. ”

I nodded hurriedly, Lin Sheng looked out the window, and said: "This time the palace was stolen, and the three of them took the initiative to ask Ying to come to look for it, it seems that there should be an inside line, and you also helped them unintentionally!" I said twice, "How do I know about this thing, it's just a coincidence." ”

After a while, the food was served, and we had just eaten a few bites after eating, when Lin Sheng suddenly paused and said, "Our family was negligent for a while, and we forgot to ask the Tie family, what do they and the Mu family want to do?" ”

I was very puzzled, Lin Sheng put down his rice bowl and said: "Our family is overconfident, we didn't take these little thieves in our eyes, our family only thought about the relationship with Mr. Fenglei, and ignored the big things, just imagine that their Tie family rushed here, it must be for the Mu family, the Mu family and the Tie family have not been in contact, how can they suddenly get acquainted, the necessary reason." "I originally wanted to say that the Tie family and the Mu family were going to get married, but I didn't know how much more eyes and ears in Dongchang were than the Zhenfu Division, and people didn't want to say it, so I didn't have to say much, just said: "Then let's send someone to investigate?" I don't think they will go far! ”

Lin Sheng shook his head lightly and said, "Let's go back in a hurry, post to Chuanzhong another day to investigate this matter, our family just feels suspicious!" "I suddenly thought of that book, which recorded the Jinyi guards spies all over the world, and all kinds of news were delivered to Jingshi every day, I must be able to find out, I wanted to speak, but when I saw Lin Sheng bowing his head and eating in a sullen voice, I stopped talking.

There was a creaking sound of footsteps outside, the door curtain was raised, and a person walked in. ”

The person who came was Xue Shen, dressed in civilian clothes, Father-in-law Lin's face turned into a flower, got up to greet him, and said, "Xue Baihu, you can make our family wait for a long time, how about it?" Went well, right? I also stood up and arched my hand slightly, Xue Shen nodded with a smile, and said, "Thanks to my father-in-law's concern, everything is going well!" ”

"Great, come, come, let's have dinner together!" Lin Sheng said, pulled Xue Shen to the table and sat down, Xue Shen looked at me, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat, you have done really well recently!" ”

I was confused and hurriedly said, "Xue Baihu, what are you talking about?" The subordinates don't understand too much. Xue Shen said: "Gonggong Lin is not an outsider, I have always hated and hated people who bluff, and there are many such people, and most of the people in Jinyiwei are." Usually I don't want to have more contact with these people, and if I don't hide it from Zhang Zongqi, I don't look down on the people of Jinyiwei in the capital at all. But after staying for two months, I found that Jinyiwei was not full of wine bags and rice bags, and people like Commander Liao and Zhang Zongqi were still very serious about their work. ”

"This time I was ordered to arrest the person who robbed Mu Bin, and according to Fanzi's report, he said that this person might come here, so I followed. Sure enough, I really met it.

I was shocked, the person who drew the sword to help Mu Bin that day was Mu Shigu, how could Xue Shen easily meet it? Presumably Fanzi's eyeliner is powerful, the world is big, and it is not easy to hide, so I can't help but be a little worried about Mu Shigu and Mu Bin.

I only heard Xue Shen say again: "I waited for him in Dragon Town, he suffered a sword wound, I originally respected him very much, after all, he is also a master, I want him to go back to Jinyiwei with me, I don't want him to be very disgusted with our Jinyiwei, my kindness was misunderstood by him, and I fought for twenty rounds before I was defeated." ”

When Lin Sheng heard this, he glanced at me meaningfully and said, "Where are the others?" Xue Shen said, "I put him in Julong Town, where there are brothers from Jinyiwei. It's just that this person was still arrogant when he was captured, saying that I was not as good as Zhang Zongqi, and after careful questioning, I found out that it was Zhang Zongqi who stabbed him. Otherwise, according to his ability, I would have been a ghost under his knife. Speaking of this, he arched his hand at me and said, "Although this person is a criminal of the imperial court, his reputation in the rivers and lakes is still good, and he must be telling the truth, so it seems that if it weren't for the sword stabbed by Zhang Zongqi, I am afraid that I would have died in the hands of Mu Shigu!" ”
