Chapter 70: The Princely Game
Yan Hudeliang was eating at an inn, the owner of this inn was always settling accounts, and when you talked to him, he would only ask you if you wanted to eat or sharpen, what kind of room you wanted, and nothing else.
Even this boss won't open his eyes to you when he talks to you, even if you are a handsome young master or a beautiful girl.
He asked for a lot of things today, enough for five or six porters to eat so much that they could not move in their chairs after a tiring day.
"There are so many delicacies, why don't you have a drink?"
Yan Hude looked up, he wouldn't have thought that it was such a person. Qu Tianqin wore a red glass gauze robe, combed the hair ornament of a Central Plains woman, and inserted a silver phoenix hairpin.
After being greased and powdered, this girl in Xicheng does have a bit of beauty, better than many local women in Jinling.
Yan Hude almost forgot that Miss Qu was still in Jinling. Xiao Er, come to a jar of aged bamboo leaf green, plus two large bowls. ”
"Don't forget certain people, because these people may be the benefactor who saved your life or the murderer who took your life at a critical moment. ”
Yan Hude swallowed the chicken wings called Hua Ji, and the bones did not spit out. To tell the truth, although he can move his hands and feet freely, his throat always feels a little uncomfortable every time he swallows food, and he asked with a smile: "Will that Qu girl be Yan Hude's benefactor or enemy?"
"Master Hou thinks that Tianqin is inferior to Xiao Liang, I don't know if he is right or wrong. ”
"Where?"
"Commander-in-chief of the three armies, swords, fists and feet, ······"
"That's really not comparable. ”
Qu Tianqin's smile is like a flower that has just bloomed, but it is the kind of flower with thorns. She asked, "You are so confident that you can win me over without comparison?"
"It's not that I won you, it's just that Yan Hude can't find a reason to compete with you. ”
"If yes, because Master Hou ······"
Yan Hude's hand was holding the chopsticks, and the smell of pollen on Qu Tianqin's body was strong, but it still couldn't cover the murderous aura emitted by the pair of water-splitting thorns on her body.
"Xiao Liang, you just need to tell me, what happened to Hou Ye's sword?"
Yan Hude stopped his chopsticks, and he began to look at the girl who had come to Jinling from Xicheng with him. Oh, isn't this girl also aware of the Dancing Sword?
"What's wrong with Master Hou's sword? I don't know what Miss Qu is referring to?"
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came over with a jar of bamboo leaves, put the wine on the table, and the big bowl was also placed on the table, and he withdrew the reward money from Qu Tianqin to the side.
Qu Tianqin poured a bowl of wine and said, "It's a pity, the huge Jinling City can't find decent barley wine." ”
"Indeed, the wine of the Central Plains people, whether it is bamboo leaf green or daughter red, is not as sweet and refreshing as the barley wine. ”
"Didn't you just ask me what I was referring to, I said, if there is no problem with Hou Ye's sword, how can his sword appear in the small shop of the world's No. 1 knife sharpener ghost mother-in-law?"
Yan Hude couldn't help laughing, the dancing sword appeared in the ghost woman's shop, it seems that this girl doesn't know that the sword has been broken and the blade has been hidden. He put down his chopsticks and clapped his hands again, and said, "It is worthy of the Qu clan in the city that never sleeps, just knowing that the dancing sword has been stored in the ghost woman's small shop is already amazing." ”
"How do you talk about it?"
"There are four people in the world who are the most mysterious, does Miss Qu know which four people they are?"
Say. ”
"The world's first doctor, the Peach Blossom Fairy, the world's first wise man, the world's first knife sharpener, the world's first chef, and the world's first chef. These four people are all famous in the world, but their deeds are erratic and unknown. ”
"Peach Blossom Fairy, know everything, ghost woman, wonderful hands?"
"If you can find the shop of the ghost woman, you should naturally have seen the ghost woman herself······"
Qu Tianqin shook her head and sighed: "I haven't seen the ghost woman, it's just a guess." ”
"Guess?"
"The Dancing Goose Sword is a rare famous sword in the world, and Master Hou never lets others touch it. However, some people felt the sword aura emitted by the Dancing Goose Sword in an inconspicuous blacksmith shop, although the sword aura was very light, it was certain that the Dancing Goose Sword had stayed in this blacksmith shop for more than a day or two. Who else can make Hou Ye hand over the sword, except for the ghost woman?"
Yan Hude was still clapping his hands and said, "Wonderful, but it's a pity." ”
"It's a pity?"
"It's a pity, Miss Qu may never feel that kind of sword qi in the future. ”
"You did it?"
"This, Miss Qu looks up to Yan Hude too much. With Yan Hude's ability, it should be separated by Hou Ye's corpse in no less than fifty rounds. ”
Qu Tianqin really couldn't think of a few people in the world who could force Zhong Xihou to destroy the sword in his hand, after all, this tiger in the west had no saber teeth and claws.
"Miss Qu, if you see Hou Ye, please tell me about the trouble, if Hou Ye has no intention of going to the world, he will go back to the West. If the Hou Ye is ambitious in the twelve cities, then he still has to go back to the West. If the Hou Ye is ambitious in the twelve cities, I am afraid that his western city, which is far away from Middle-earth, will also be difficult to protect. A western city is not enough to be an enemy of Yan Yunqi. ”
Yan Hude poured a bowl of wine and drank it all, Qu Tianqin couldn't help but feel funny, I used to hear Zhongxi Hou say that Yan Hude would not drink wine with a strong taste except for mare's milk wine and milk wine in order to hide his breath, and he continued: "Naturally, you can rest assured that I have no intention of fighting with Hou Ye, I'm afraid that he will block my way." ”
"Who are you?"
"The overlord of the three five states, the king of the Yan Hude tribe. ”
"Other than that. ”
"If you listen, how can you promise that you won't tell anyone?"
"Then you don't have to say it. ”
Yan Hude couldn't help laughing again, who was he, sometimes he didn't know who he was: "Yan Yun rode ten heavenly people, and he rode carefully." ”
"Heavenly Yanyun Rides ······"
"Sleepless City Qu Tianqin, this seat orders you to hand over the Heavenly Spirit Tiger Talisman······"
"What if you don't?"
When the two were at a stalemate, a person came in outside the door, and when he saw the two, he said excitedly: "Master Xiaoliang, Miss Qu, no wonder I can't find you two when I go to the Zhongcheng Lord's Mansion." ”
This person is actually the little prince of Lincheng, Zhu Yinuo.
When Yan Hudeliang saw Zhu Yinuo, he was full of smiles and grinned in welcome, while Qu Tianqin was a little disgusted.
Zhu Yinuo didn't care about the reaction of the two, but asked Xiao Er to add a bowl, and sat down to drink with the two of them.
"The little prince went to the Hou Ye's mansion?"
Zhu Yinuo waved his hand and said, "But I sent someone to ask the gatekeeper of the Hou Ye's mansion, and then I walked around, and I saw the two of them." By the way, Master Xiao Liang, you promised to teach me kendo, don't forget. ”
Yan Hude Liang laughed, and then said: "How dare you, why don't you dare to rub the Forbidden City from now on, is it feasible?"
When Zhu Yinuo heard this, he was very happy, and replied: "Very good, very good, I have a little more understanding of the Nine Stars Flying in a few days, no one can ask, and I am also a little irritable." ”
Then Zhu Yinuo noticed Qu Tianqin on the side, and immediately saluted Qu Tianqin with a bowl, and said, "Miss Qu has taken over a few businesses, if you need help, you are not polite." ”
When Qu Tianqin heard this, his eyelids couldn't help but move slightly, Zhu Yinuo actually knew that he had taken over several businesses. didn't wait for Zhu Yinuo to say anything, and didn't turn his head back and got up to leave.
Zhu Yinuo was a little puzzled, and looked at Yan Hudeliang suspiciously. Yan Hudeliang laughed and said, "More often than not, children will always feel that they have done something, and adults will not know." Don't worry about her, little prince, drink. ”
Zhu Yinuo didn't understand the meaning a little, and didn't pay attention to it, the bowl in his hand touched Yan Hudeliang, and then drank it all.
The night came quickly, and the self was quiet very quickly. Zhong Xihou is still leaning against the window, the weather is cold, although Xicheng at this time is still windy and sandy, but it is not necessarily as cool as this Mo County.
"Master Hou, I don't understand, since you let go of the wolf king, why do you want to go to him?"
Zhong Xihou played with the rain sword in his hand, did not answer, and asked rhetorically: "Honghong, don't say that the days when Gu put down the West Land and come to the city are not short, just if you go back to Gu's side, there will be some days." You say, "Why did Lone come to the city?"
"According to legend, Master Hou, you are here to disturb the stability of Lincheng, to be honest, I think so too. ”
Zhong Xihou's hand shook, and he almost touched the blade of the Tingyu sword, and couldn't help but look at Hua Shaohong with amusement and anger, and asked: "The situation of his old dragon king's chassis is chaotic, Yu Gu, what's the benefit?"
"Naturally, the merchants in the city of the West can save more silver. ”
Zhong Xihou was even more speechless, and said: "Although the merchants in the West are all over Daye, even if there are no such merchants, are you lonely, like a person who lacks money?"
Hua Shaohong is not Huidong's child, and he didn't give Zhongxi Hou face at all, and said: "Hou Ye is indeed not short of money, but Hou Ye picks it." ”
Zhongxi Hou really didn't know how to talk to this doll, so he had to change the topic and said: "Honghong, if one day you are crowned king and prime minister, you can get a fief, where do you want?"
Although she knew that it was just a joke, Hua Shaohong actually thought about it seriously, and then replied: "If that's the case, then Moxian." ”
Zhongxi Hou frowned, there are many rich or interesting places in the world, but why did Honghong choose Mo County, where the Mo family is located. Without waiting for Zhongxi Hou to ask, Hua Shaohong asked again: "Does Master Hou know what kind of place this Mo County is?"
"I heard that there is a sword in the world that is the most wonderful, and suddenly the blade is like ink, and suddenly the blade is like blood. This sword knows the amorous man, and it also knows the ruthless man. ”
"Love Sword Mo Yu, whether this sword is really spiritual, really amorous, except for his master, I am afraid no one can be sure. ”
Zhong Xihou didn't smile, and said slowly: "Whether the sword is affectionate or not, whether the sword is affectionate or ruthless, to a large extent, is also a matter of the swordsmith who holds the sword, and how much it has to do with the sword." ”
"Master Hou, this is your loneliness. The Dancing Goose Sword is just an ordinary sword, and the Mo Yu Sword is definitely not an ordinary sword. ”
"And how?"
"There are ancient books in the library of the Hua family, on which four treasures in the world are recorded, and one of them can stand on the world. ”
Zhong Xihou looked quite interested, and asked, "Four pieces, is it possible that they are pen, ink, paper, and inkstone again?"
Hua Shaohong frowned slightly, and asked, "How did Master Hou know?"
"Let's tell me what this four treasures of the study have to do with this Mo County?"
"A few hundred years ago, Mo County was also a fief, and its owner was this Mo family. The Mo family has a treasure of the Red Emperor Yan Mo, it is said that this ink can be used to write the future, and this ink can be used to paint things from the painting. ”
"How is this treasure inherited?"
"It was an ancient book, there were many tears on the book, helpless, how to inherit the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there is no record. ”
Zhong Xihou put the Tingyu Sword into the sword box, after all, this sword is not a dance that has accompanied him for many years, people and swords, after all, they still repel each other.
"If the dancing goose in the lonely hand is still the same, then it will definitely go to meet the current Mo family's sword master, it is said that the Mo family's amorous swordsmanship ruthless swordsmanship, every move and style are as if there are two people out of the sword at the same time, and the power seems to be twice that of ordinary people. ”
"In the past, General Han once held a seven-star sword to find Mo Sang, the sword master of the Mo family, and competed with him, can Master Hou know the result?"
"General Han? Suzaku Avenue is a general of the previous dynasty with one to a hundred, but a martial arts powerhouse in the Hongmeng Fourfold or Fivefold Realm is not a real skill to beat hundreds of soldiers who are less than the ancestors. ”
Zhong Xihou poured a cup of tea, some people died and became famous, and some people were famous all over the world when they lived.
And there are not many people who are still famous when they are dead and alive. And this General Han is undoubtedly such a person.
"I remember that twenty years ago, General Han carried the seven-star sword on his back and challenged sixteen masters on the sword spectrum, and three of them were in retreat at the wrong time. In the other thirteen, General Han won eleven, drew one and lost one. ”
"It's somewhat unexpected to lose under the sword saint black impermanence, but he defeated Su Qiye, the world's number one literary swordsman, which is already dumbfounded······"
Listening to Yujian, it seemed that he was a little excited because he heard the name of the old master in the past, and all of a sudden, the cold was even worse. Fortunately, it is summer now, and this kind of cold makes Zhongxi Hou and Hua Shaohong more comfortable.
"It is also expected that Su Qiye will lose, although Su Qiye is the first sword master among the literati, after all, he is a literati, how can he be able to defeat the imperial generals who are away all the year round. What was stunned was that on the bank of the Yishui River, his six swords were combined to break through Bai Xiaotian's invisible blade, and that battle made people stunned. ”
"At that time, Bai Xiaotian came back from chasing and killing the thirteen eagles outside the gate, and his serious injuries had not healed, and the invisible sword blade had not yet been perfected, so it was not surprising that he would be defeated. Then Hou Ye may tell which sixteen of these sixteen masters are?"
Zhong Xihou was silent, just tasting tea. He knew that one of the sixteen people must be Mo Sang, the sword master of the Mo family.
"There is one who is Mo Sang, the sword master of the Mo family, who was in the fourth year of Mo Sang's sword operation, and he has not practiced the sword for a few chapters. In just a few chapters, Mo Sang fought fiercely with General Han for nearly three hours, until both of them fainted from exhaustion. ”
"Amorous Sword Ruthless Sword, how many chapters are there?"
"Three chapters of the Amorous Sword, three chapters of the Ruthless Sword, and one chapter remaining, I don't know its name. Four moves in one chapter, the previous generation of sword-bearers used a total of twenty different sword moves when they duel with the murderous demon Huo Tianshui······"
"That is to say, I have never seen all these twenty-four amorous swords and ruthless swords. ”
Hua Shaohong nodded: "That's true, the ruthless sword moves of the amorous sword are not exhausted, not to mention the unknown chapter." ”
"Then it seems that tomorrow, I will have to go to his house to worship in person. ”
"Master Hou is ······"
Zhong Xihou didn't speak, Hua Shaohong only felt that the air began to thin out, and the qi beside Zhong Xihou formed like white smoke, and gradually turned into a sword. Zhong Xihou held it in his hand and asked, "Do you know how many people in the world understand this invisible sword blade?"
Hua Shaohong shook her head and said, "I really don't know, in the past fifty years, the person who has gathered the greatest achievements is Bai Xiaotian, the owner of the Dusk Cold Building. Can ······"
"Have you ever heard that Hualuo Xicheng also understands the invisible blade?" Zhongxi Hou waved his hand, and the qi dissipated, "Even in the twilight building, you have seen it, the little junior brother of Lone, your eldest brother, knows more or less the invisible sword blade." But now, as you can see, this is not an invisible blade, but a dancing sword qi. ”
"Dancing Pheasant Sword Qi?
Zhong Xihou just smiled, but didn't say much.
"Master Hou, I'm not interested in any invisible blades. ”
Zhong Xihou was curious and asked, "What is Honghong interested in?"
Hua Shaohong thought for a while, and then replied: "I'm quite interested in those immortal swords, flying around. By the way, Master Hou, you said that you can transform sword qi into various forms, which difficulty is more difficult than Edgeworth?"
Zhong Xihou also did not hide it, explaining: "The former looks at cultivation and understanding, and the latter not only cultivates for understanding, but also needs luck. ”
Hua Shaohong heard vaguely, and before he could ask, Zhong Xihou continued to explain: "As far as Gu knows, there are three kinds of imperial swords. There are flying swords that are specially built as donkeys and horses for people to ride, and that can only be urged by immortal cultivators. The sword with the sword spirit, the sword has a spirit, and it can be mutually induced with the sword owner, but it is not easy to form a sword spirit. There is another kind, the sword master knows the way of the sword, even if it is an ordinary iron sword, in his hand is like a fish in water, cheerful and casual. ”
Hua Shaohong digested Zhongxi Hou's explanation and then asked, "Master Hou, in this way, it is the most difficult to build a special flying sword?"
Zhong Xihou shook his head and continued to explain to the doll: "That is the skill of the immortals, you said that for monkeys, it is easy to build cars and horses? Monkeys can't build cars, but people are easy." The sword master knows the way of the sword, and such a talent and understanding are too rare, so there is no need to say more. ”
Hua Shaohong nodded, as if she understood or not, and asked, "In this way, the sword has a sword spirit, which is the most difficult?"
Zhong Xihou nodded, but before he could say anything, Hua Shaohong's next sentence made him almost angry.
"But Brother Ying's thirteen swords all have sword spirits, and I thought that the swords with sword spirits were like green vegetables and radishes. ”
Zhongxi Hou looked at Hua Shaohong in a daze, couldn't help but sigh, and then joked: "If Gu has thirteen spiritual swords, then it is really an immortal who is not afraid." ”
Then, he looked at Hua Shaohong, suddenly smiled evilly, and asked: "Honghong, today I will take you to Moxian, there is a way to beat a horse, but you have to try?"
Hua Shaohong frowned and was curious, and asked, "Isn't it that Master Hou is also like Brother Ying, who can toss a dragon or a phoenix?"
Zhong Xihou shook his head and said, "Lone is not an immortal cultivator, how can he do such a thing." Lonely, from beginning to end, he was just a swordsman. ”
Hua Shaohong said something that had nothing to do with this topic: "Master Hou, that little prince seems to have moved a lot recently." ”
Zhong Xihou smiled and replied: "The little fox has not become a sperm, what storms can there be?"
"Alas, do you know how to fight in times of peace?"
"Honghong, sometimes some of the bait thrown by Lone is already on the bright side, but there are always people who are suspicious and feel that Lone will make more fuss in the dark. ”
After all, Hua Shaohong is not a strategist of conspiracy, speaking of which, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can he understand the fun of the game between the lord of a city and the king of the same place.
