Chapter 18: Winning the Sword by Contest

Ruan Leyao just took it casually, and she didn't think that Shen Yanshu would take it seriously, but seeing Shen Yanshu's very excited appearance, she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Those swords are indeed very fond of her, she thought that few young ladies in Chang'an City would like these cold weapons, even if they were given to them, they would not respond, this time she miscalculated!

On weekdays, Ruan Leyao doesn't have any friends, and she doesn't know how girls get along, but she and those cousins have a good time, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly. But Shen Yanshu is not her cousin after all, she promised to give Shen Yanshu a sword a moment ago, but it seems deliberate to regret it at this time.

Seeing her hesitation, Shen Yanshu knew that she was reluctant, so he apologized: "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

Shen Yanshu knew that her request was indeed too rude, but after all, it was something from her father's lifetime, and she really couldn't help it.

Ruan Leyao looked at her lost appearance, but she couldn't bear it, and she could see that she really wanted a sword, so she said: "It's okay, you can choose a good one to try, if you feel good, it's not too late to make a decision." ”

After listening to Ruan Leyao's words, Shen Yan Shu Si Cen said: "I know that this is a bit abrupt, you are not willing to let these good swords fall into the hands of a person who does not love swords." If we each pick a sword and have a competition, if I win, can you give me the sword?"

"Just you?" Ruan Leyao looked at Shen Yanshu's thin and weak appearance, and couldn't tell that she was a person who knew martial arts at all, and couldn't help but feel that she was whimsical.

Shen Yanshu is very confident, she has been practicing martial arts these days, and the martial arts of her previous life have been deeply imprinted in her mind, as long as she exercises her body, it is not difficult to use it.

She had also seen Ruan Leyao practice swords just now, and her level was not very high, if she wanted to come to an environment like Wengfu, she could only find an ordinary martial artist to teach her, even if she was very smart, it was difficult to resist Shen Yanshu, who had really been on the battlefield.

"But I have one condition. Shen Yanshu said, "When we compete, no one else is allowed to be present, and I don't want others to know that we have competed." ”

Ruan Leyao said briskly: "What kind of difficult thing is this!"

After saying that, he let the people in the room and the courtyard go out, and warned them not to look and talk nonsense, including the green kite, so they had to let them go out of the courtyard together.

Shen Yanshu stood up, glanced at all the swords on the wall, and then took down the Lingyun Sword without hesitation.

Ruan Leyao looked at it and said, "The sword you are holding is not so easy to control. ”

Shen Yanshu just smiled, she pulled out her sword, and the cold light appeared, extremely powerful. Looking at the sword blade that was still so sharp, her nose was sore, and her eyes were already moist.

The courtyard where they are located is very spacious, and Ruan Leyao practices martial arts here on weekdays, so the furnishings are very simple.

Shen Yanshu was wearing a plain white magnolia cigarette brocade skirt today, which was in stark contrast to Ruan Leyao's black training arms, and the two of them saluted each other, which was the beginning.

The sword flashed, Shen Yanshu had already stabbed in the direction of Ruan Leyao with his sword, the action was as fast as lightning, even if Ruan Leyao was ready, she didn't have time to think, and subconsciously blocked it sideways, but in the next moment, she saw Shen Yanshu backhand the sword horizontally, which was another thrilling move, she hurriedly raised her head and bowed her waist, dodging the sharp blade.

At this time, it was a great opportunity to fight back, Ruan Leyao turned around, clenched the sword in her hand and slashed at Shen Yanshu, but she easily dodged it, Ruan Leyao was stunned, and unwillingly raised her legs and swept away, only to see Shen Yanshu jump up, and her white skirt tail was flying.

Ruan Leyao was just about to raise her sword to attack again, when a cold light entered her eyes, and the sword qi was approaching her eyes, and at this time, Shen Yanshu's sword was falling next to her white neck.

Three moves subdued her! Ruan Leyao was shocked.

Shen Yanshu smiled lightly, then withdrew the sword and said, "It's not a pity to give me this sword, right?"

Ruan Leyao sighed to herself: "I am willing to gamble and lose, I didn't expect your swordsmanship to be so powerful." ”

"Since I took your sword, we will be friends in the future! I can cover you for anything!" Shen Yanshu looked very righteous.

Ruan Leyao's heart moved, she had no friends for so many years, she was very envious of others having partners of the same age when she was a child, and later when she grew up, she became accustomed to the attitude of others to avoid her.

"Then can you accompany me to practice swords in the future?" asked Ruan Leyao.

Shen Yanshu nodded: "Of course you can, if you have time, I will come to see you, or you can come to Taichangqing's Mansion to find me, but my place is not big enough to accompany you to practice swords." ”

"An interesting person like you, even if you don't practice swords, you can find interesting things to do. ”

"You know it again? I thought I was hiding it!"

"Haha, the Tao is not deep enough!"

————

Skylark Street is one of the most prosperous streets in Chang'an City, with the flow of people coming and going, all kinds of shouting, and the sound of idle people boasting and chatting in the teahouse and wine shop, all of which converge into a lively scene.

Shen Yanshu took the green kite to walk around the street, and from time to time he would look at fresh gadgets.

"Miss, this must be the second lady's idea!" Qing Kite said indignantly, after coming out of the Weng Mansion, they found that the Shen family's carriage had already returned, so they could only let them go to the Shen Mansion by themselves.

Shen Yanshu didn't care, she also declined Ruan Leyao's kindness to send them back to the house, anyway, she was also very familiar with Chang'an City, and she could walk around by herself if she just met her wishes, and she just wanted to find out about Lu Huaiyuan.

"If they don't go back early, we won't be able to play on the streets, so why not?" Shen Yanshu said.

When the young lady heard this, she was really in a better mood.

It's just that Shen Yanshu hasn't gone far this way before he feels something strange - someone is following them!

Shen Yanshu looked back, and the three figures flashed by, hiding in the corner, if it weren't for her sharp eyes, she really wouldn't have found where they were hiding.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Qing Kite asked puzzled when she saw Shen Yanshu turn around.

Shen Yanshu whispered to Qing Kite: "Later, the two of us will walk separately, you go all the way to the right at the intersection in front, and then wait for me in a teahouse in Fu Ji." ”

Qing Kite didn't know what was going on, but there must be a reason why the young lady suddenly told herself like this, she nodded, and according to what Shen Yanshu said, she walked to the right when she passed the intersection and separated from Shen Yanshu.

And the three people who were hiding in the corner walked out, and when they saw that the two people had separated, they decisively followed Shen Yanshu's direction and chased after them!

Shen Yanshu was not surprised, she thought that letting the sedan chair man leave was just Shen Yuyan's idea, and she wanted her to suffer a little and be a little ugly. I didn't expect it to be Meng's idea, of course, what she wanted was Shen Yanshu's life!

Feeling the footsteps of the three people following him closely, Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, he clenched the Lingyun Sword in his hand, turned around and walked into a remote alley.
