Guanhui City is a prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River. Although there are only 10,000 households, it is one of the top commercial cities in the nearby states and counties. Because they are far away from the capital, the people here seem to be casual and capricious, from the sale of goods to the lives of the people, and even the marriage of unmarried women, they are all extraordinarily unrestrained.

At this moment, the city is full of lights, and the scenery is full of joy.

"Wow, this city is so lively! I don't know what festival is going on?" Lu Xiaohua opened her mouth wide and looked around, feeling that her eyes were almost too busy. When she turned around and saw Xu Shaofeng glaring at her coldly, she quickly closed her mouth.

I've been frozen by the air conditioner all morning, so let's be honest now. Lu Xiaohua sighed silently in her heart: I don't know what I'm angry about? I woke up early this morning and turned on the air-conditioner, and I obviously had a good chat last night.

"May I ask why the city is so lively?" asked a scholar beside him to the people of the city.

Lu Xiaohua hurriedly pricked up her ears, if you don't let me speak, I can't eavesdrop.

But I heard the people in the city reply: "Well, because on the 18th of this month, Master Wen of Junan Villa is going to celebrate his 50th birthday." ”

"How can the old man of a mountain village make the city full of lights?" the scholar asked again.

"You're an outsider, of course you don't know what's going on. This Guanhui City was just a little-known small county of Guanhui in the past. More than ten years ago, Mr. Wen came here, and through his hands, he gradually took care of Guanhui County into one of the top commercial cities in the vicinity, so every household in the city was grateful for Mr. Wen's kindness. Now that Master Wen is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, can this city not be lively?"

"This Master Wen is so powerful. ”

"That's not it. "The people in the city are particularly proud," from the day of his birthday, Master Wen will feast guests, and will set up a flowing water banquet for seven days and seven nights in Junan Villa. I heard that there will be a song and dance performance for seven days and seven nights at the same time. ”

"Ah, there's such a bustle, then I'll have to go and see it. ”

Lu Xiaohua was itchy when she heard this, stretched out her little paw and patted Xu Shaofeng beside her, and said, "Let's also go to Junan Villa to watch Master Wen do his birthday!"

"Don't go. Xu Shaofeng refused.

Lu Xiaohua's little face immediately collapsed.

Seeing her like this, Xu Shaofeng slightly suppressed the cold and said, "But I can take you around the city." ”

"Wow, wow!" Lu Xiaohua became happy again.

Along the way, there are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are all kinds of things. Red lanterns hang under the porches of each shop, some have red cloths wrapped around the pillars, and some have large characters with the word "Shou" directly placed on the roof.

The pedestrians on the road are also of different colors: in addition to the people in the city, there are many literati and warriors who look like outsiders, and occasionally you can see one or two official sedan chairs hugging the ground behind.

Lu Xiaohua was dazzled, and sighed in admiration: This Master Wen's face is really not small!

Regardless of who people are, the same thing is that everyone is well-dressed and has the same joy on their faces. The young girls are even more carefully dressed, and they are as beautiful as blooming flowers. Glancing at Xu Shaofeng, Lu Xiaohua puffed up his chest proudly: he was quite prescient, and when he entered this Guanhui City, he really had to change into beautiful clothes.

As she walked, she suddenly stopped, looking at the steaming sugar man who had just come out of the pot, and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. That thing smells good and looks delicious.

Xu Shaofeng turned his head and saw her pitiful eyes like a puppy, his heart softened, and he said to the master who was a sugar man: "Come on a sugar man." ”

"Okay, do you want the third prince of Nezha, or do you want Erlang God?" the sugar man master greeted with a smile.

"I want a big monster! I want a big monster!" Lu Xiaohua hurriedly tugged Xu Shaofeng's hand hard, pointing at the biggest sugar man and shouting. Since it costs the same amount of money, of course it is the one that wants the biggest!

Xu Shaofeng said: "I want a big monster." ”

"Two pennies. "Master Sugar Man removes Sugar Man from the straw handle.

Xu Shaofeng took the sugar man and was about to hand it to Lu Xiaohua. At this moment, there was the chatter of a group of female dependents behind him.

"Fourth Prince Wen is here! Fourth Prince Wen is here!"

"Ah, he is Wen Haowu, the fourth son of Wen!

"Wow, he took one look at me!"

"He's looking at me. ”

......

One man was dressed as white as frost, and he came with a sword.

The passers-by looked at him in awe and retreated to both sides.

But when he saw the person coming, his face was as white as jade, his lips were red and his teeth were bright, he was wearing a snow-colored embroidered silk robe, and he was wearing a white and beautiful jade, and his posture was as heroic as a jade tree in the wind, and a pair of electric eyes brought out the cold arrogance of rejecting people.

Xu Shaofeng's face sank, and he handed the sugar man in his hand to Lu Xiaohua and stopped her behind him.

Then, his temperament changed!

A sharp chill suddenly burst out from his body. He was no longer a casual passerby, he had been reduced to a cold sword unsheathed, full of untouchable sharpness.

Wen Haowu looked at him suddenly, and the moment his eyes met Xu Shaofeng, the depths of his pupils were like a storm, and white waves swept the sky. He was awe-inspiring and inoffensive, but he became extremely sharp. He's no longer a haughty boy, but a swordsman like frost!

He stood ten steps in front of Xu Shaofeng and said coldly:

"'Cold Sword' Xu Shaofeng?"

"Yes. ”

Wen Haowu looked at Xu Shaofeng and said slowly: "I heard that you practiced martial arts at the age of four, began to practice the cold sky sword technique at the age of five, and reached the first realm of the cold sky sword technique at the age of seven - human cold, and reached the second realm at the age of ten - sword cold, and at the age of fourteen, you have realized the realm of 'people are as cold as swords, and swords are as cold as people', and are known as a rare sword practice wizard in a hundred years, and people in the rivers and lakes call it 'cold sword' Xu Shaofeng." ”

Xu Shaofeng was also observing the other party, "I heard that you started practicing the Frost Sky Sword Technique at the age of 5, and as early as four years ago, you realized the realm of 'turning the sword into frost', which is comparable to the realm of the Cold Sky Sword Technique', 'People are as cold as swords, and swords are as cold as people'." After seeing your swordsmanship, the senior Fengji Dao Elder of the rivers and lakes once wrote poems for it, praising you as the future sword honor. Jianghu people call the 'Frost Sky Sword' Wen Haowu. ”

"It seems that there is destined to be a battle between you and me. A smile tugged at Wen Haowu's lips. To him, a rival who knows himself and his opponent is more precious than all the treasures of the world.

"It's a pity it's not a place to fight. Xu Shaofeng glanced at the crowd around him.

"That's true. Wen Haowu also said.

"You are the master here, you choose the place. ”

"Ten miles away from this city, there is a lonely mountain, strange peaks and mountains, the scenery is quite good, you and I will fight on the top of the mountain, okay?"

"Okay!" Xu Shaofeng nodded.

"I choose the place, you decide the time. Wen Haowu refused to take advantage of him.

"How about tomorrow afternoon?"

"Good!"

"Tomorrow at noon, the top of the lonely mountain will not be seen or dispersed. ”

"Do you have a place to stay?" Wen Haowu asked again.

"Don't bother. Xu Shaofeng said.

Wen Haowu said no more and turned to leave.

Seeing the man who looked like a boy walking away majestically, Lu Xiaohua licked the candy man and asked Xu Shaofeng in a low voice: "Are you going to fight with him?"

Xu Shaofeng exhaled slowly, withdrew his battle intent, and nodded at her.

Wen Haowu, who had already walked a few steps, turned his head, stared at Xu Shaofeng with his eyebrows locked, and shouted loudly: "You actually brought a woman!"

"It's none of your business. Xu Shaofeng said coldly.

Wen Haowu stared at him with great dissatisfaction, "The way of the sword is: fast, ruthless, and treacherous. The man who makes the sword needs: cold, lonely, forbearing. You're going to lose to me with a woman!"

"That's your sword, not mine. Xu Shaofeng looked indifferent, "Everything will be clarified after the comparison." ”

Wen Haowu stared at him again and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow at noon!"

Xu Shaofeng said: "See you tomorrow at noon!"

Wen Haowu turned his back and walked away slowly, and said word by word as he walked: "'Cold Sword' Xu Shaofeng, I hope you don't let me down!"

Lu Xiaohua didn't dare to whisper to Xu Shaofeng until Wen Haowu walked out of sight: "Do you really want to fight with that son surnamed Wen?"

"It's not a fight, it's a joust. Xu Shaofeng corrected. He had been brewing momentum all morning, just to fight with Wen Haowu, how could it be called a fight?

Isn't fighting and jousting the same thing? Lu Xiaohua didn't quite understand and asked, "Why do you want to compete? That Wen Gongzi looks a little arrogant, but he doesn't look like a bad person. ”

"It's none of your business. Xu Shaofeng didn't want to say more. He and the fourth prince of Wen are both famous swordsmen in the world, and they are also fond of swords, and the swordsmanship they have learned is so similar, sooner or later there will be a battle between the two. How can the man's pride and ambition be explained clearly to this wild girl in the mountains.

"Nasty! Again. Lu Xiaohua said dissatisfiedly. However, the sugar man in her hand who was licking it, she quickly became happy again, and left Xu Shaofeng's martial arts competition behind. In her mind, jousting is no different from fighting. The boys in Jiangge Town also got into a fight from time to time because of a quarrel. In her opinion, men are just aggressive and like to solve problems by force.

Suddenly, a woman in costume rushed over and shouted at Xu Shaofeng: "It's up to you, you still want to compete with Fourth Prince Wen, go home." ”

Another woman in fancy clothes who was traveling with her also ran over and scolded: "What kind of cold sword and cold sword is rotten sword, even one of the little toes of Wen Sigongzi can't compare! I advise you to run away as soon as possible." ”

Immediately afterwards, another woman came over and said: "Fourth Prince Wen once single-handedly picked the lair of the water bandits in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was not hurt at all, where are you the opponent of Fourth Prince Wen!"

He also once went to the 12 serial docks in Jiangnan alone alone, and he did not know the chief helmsman of the twelve serial docks and became close friends. It is impossible for a person like you to beat the fourth son of Wen at all. ”

......

The women on the street all seemed to rush over, slamming at Xu Shaofeng.

Xu Shaofeng didn't want to deal with them, but the more they talked, the more energetic they became, and the noisy sound was really boring.

Xu Shaofeng's face sank, and the cold air poured out, "Go away!"

The women were frightened by his sword aura and stopped all of a sudden.

The woman in costume who took the lead straightened her chest fearlessly, and said heroically: "If you can't say it, you will use force? If I can die for the fourth son of Wen, I will die without regrets!"

"That's right, you have the ability, you killed us. We died for the fourth prince of Wen, and we died without regrets!" The other women were not far behind and stood tall.

Xu Shaofeng held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and his eyebrows were tightly locked. What's going on with these inexplicable women? It's not beating, it's not scolding, it's really helpless.

"Go, go, go, men fight, what are you women doing blindly?" Lu Xiaohua pushed them away violently and stood in front of Xu Shaofeng, "If you really have confidence in that Fourth Master Wen, don't chirp here." I don't know that I thought that Wen Sigongzi wouldn't even have a fight, and he wanted the women to stand up for him. ”

What she said hit the nail on the head, and the women were dumbfounded.

After looking at each other for a while, the dressed woman who picked her head said, "We are just crying out for the fourth prince Wen." ”

"Fourth Prince Wen won't be afraid of him. The other women chimed in.

"Don't tell him, let's go!" the dressed woman with the head picked up and walked away with a group of women. The people who were watching the excitement around also dispersed.

Lu Xiaohua was angry, turned her head to Xu Shaofeng and said, "Others scold you, why don't you say a word." ”

"Didn't you already give it back for me?" Xu Shaofeng stared at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Unexpectedly, she usually does things in a mess, and she speaks quite reasonably when it is critical.

Lu Xiaohua was stunned, he was still in the mood to smile at this time?

"Why are you still smiling?" she grumbled.

"Sometimes it's a matter that can be solved with a smile, so why do you have to fight with others. Didn't you say that?" Xu Shaofeng raised his eyebrows, looking leisurely.

Is that what I mean? Anyway, he's no longer cold, and he feels good. Lu Xiaohua's mood also improved, "Let's go, let's continue shopping." ”

Izhen has something to say:

The "Tang Law and Household Marriage" stipulates that if a child has established a marriage relationship without the consent of his parents, the law will recognize it, and only a minor and not respecting the elder is considered a violation of the law. This provision legally gave the green light to young men and women in the Tang Dynasty to freely choose their mates. The Tang Dynasty was the most glorious period of the feudal era in China and even in the world, and its open atmosphere can be seen from the relatively free choice of mates by young men and women.
