A dreary sunset hung in the sky, and it was about to set.

A moment before the end of the day, the civil official in charge of reading out during the day returned to the outside of the Dongxuan Hall with the key in his hand. For the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, it was a great honor to be appointed as the responsible official of the Tuoba Festival, and this year he was awarded this honor.

He was full of anticipation when he saw the situation outside the Dongxuan Hall for a few seconds, unlike in previous years, at this time, there was still a large group of noisy onlookers cheering and cheering tirelessly, but at this time, the people outside the hall were almost gone, this situation is very abnormal!

Could it be that the Dongxuan Hall has been wiped out this year?

That's amazing!

According to the regulations, the stone gate was not allowed to be opened until the hour, and when he was worried, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know how the battle situation was in the West Evening Hall, so he hurriedly beckoned, and soon a guard trotted from behind him.

"I've seen adults. ”

"You go to the West Evening Hall to check on the situation. ”

After receiving the order, the guards hurriedly led their horses from the barracks to the Western Evening Hall to inspect them, and soon rushed back.

"Returning to my lordship, everything is normal in the West Evening Hall, and there is nothing abnormal. ”

This made him even more worried.

It's over, is it really all wiped out?

That's a big culpability!

He waited outside the door for a quarter of an hour, anxiously, until the bell tower in Dagong struck the bell in the drowsy sunset, and the solemn sound of the bell seemed to strike on his heart, and the key in his hand fell to the ground without holding it steadily.

He took a deep breath, bent down to pick up the key, and then walked to the stone door, inserted it into the keyhole in the wall, and twisted it.

The stone door on the side was pulled by the mechanism and rumbled open.

He walked in with heavy steps, but was stunned by what he saw, and his chin almost hit the instep of his foot.

There were still a few rays of light like broken gold on the horizon, and there was a high hill of people in the middle of the grassland of the Dongxuan Hall, and three people were sitting cross-legged on it happily...... Play with leaves.

That is, playing cards.

It's still a shoddy deck of leaf cards. (ps: to add again, playing cards is not a modern entertainment activity Oh, leaf cards, is a kind of solitaire, also called "Niang Niang card", auspicious cards, evil charm cards.) Its gameplay was called "leaf play" in ancient times, and now it is called "You Xianghe" and "You Evil Charm". It is an ancient game of play, which is a traditional Chinese entertainment, and the gameplay and algorithm are the same as mahjong, which began to appear in the Tang and Song dynasties and is the earliest solitaire in the world. ）

One of the people in the pile they were holding down was still wailing angrily: "Cards, cards are for you, let me go, I want to go home......"

However, the three people who were in the heat of the fight did not want to pay attention to him.

A small short-haired boy grabbed the card in his hand and roared: "Ahhhh

"Boy, retract your head, want to peek at my cards?"

The woman in red reached out and pushed the boy's head back, and the boy grabbed his short hair and laughed dryly.

"Hahaha! Sister, you've found out! Show me a look!"

"I refuse!"

"Hmph,

Sister, you're too stingy, it's time for you to get out, master. ”

"Hmm. ”

The three of them were still playing cards in full swing, and the official rubbed his eyes in disbelief to confirm that there were only three people left in the room...... So is it because these three people are playing leaf play, and the onlookers can't stand it anymore so they go home early?

What's going on with shsh?

Zhu'an took the sword behind him, the tip of the sword drew a beautiful trajectory in the air, and he handed the sword to the streamer.

Streamer stretched out his hand to take it, and the familiar touch of the wooden sword came from his fingers little by little, and the solid feeling of having the sword in his hand returned.

He tightened his fingers gripping the hilt of the sword and said to himself: Streamer, it's time to draw the sword yourself.

Streamer raised his sleeve and wiped his tears carelessly, his blue eyes were like the blue sea rising high after the gloomy fog had cleared, flashing with a determined light.

He bent down and bowed to Zhu'an with a wooden sword in both hands.

"Master, please guide me!"

He went through the swordsmanship that Zhu'an had taught him in his mind, and then held the sword and bravely faced the crowd that had been chasing him just now.

He raised his sword and roared at the crowd:

"You losers! I'm going to knock you all down today!

Not to mention, the streamer's hoarse roar startled the people around him, and it turned out to be the little man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old who was making a big fuss, how could he bear it?

Not only those people, but even the people who were fighting the side were alarmed, and more people gathered than the streamer expected.

In an instant, his eyes were black, and he was full of people.

The streamer stumbled and almost didn't stand firm, grabbed his short hair, and said embarrassedly: "I, I, I didn't call you all over!"

That doesn't sound like a good thing.

No one paid any attention to him, and the anger of being despised by the nameless man drove them to approach the streamer faster and faster.

There were too many people, and Streamer swallowed his saliva and forced himself to stop wanting to take a step back.

No, he can't run away anymore!

Suddenly feeling an extra hand on his shoulder, he looked up, and Zhu'an didn't bow his head to respond to his gaze, looking into the distance, holding his long affection in his hand.

"Streamer, a rare opportunity, learn hard. ”

A little more than a little later, Weaving Dream beckoned to him with a smile on the side, her mouth moved silently, and the streamer could see that she said two words, come on.

He kept stumbling, and they didn't come to help him up, but they kept watching him gently, encouraging him to move forward bravely.

He bent his eyes and laughed, and replied loudly, "Yes! Master!"

He held his wooden sword and followed Zhu'an to meet the opponent and rushed forward, and the small figure was instantly overwhelmed by the surging crowd.

Picking up a long knife that had been chopped over, he hesitated for two seconds, and the voice of Zhu'an sounded beside him.

"Streamer, sword!"

He raised his hand and stabbed it out, hitting the man in the chest and abdomen, knocking the man back several steps.

He looked at his hands and couldn't help but want to cheer.

Ahhhh

Ahh

The tip of Zhu'an's sword quickly reached over to help him block the next wave of attacks, and said without looking back: "Go what god, continue!"

"Oh oh, oh, good, good!"

Streamer hurriedly suppressed the excitement in his heart and concentrated on dealing with the enemy.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, with the first success, the sword in his hand seems to be more and more comfortable, as if he is following his mind, pointing where to fight, this feeling is really amazing. He finally understood what Zhu'an said, "move with your heart, go with the blade", he is the sword in his hand, don't think about how the other side moves, he has to grasp the initiative, he makes the first move, blindly defending is meaningless, attacking as defense, even fighting and defending, in order to win.

"Be flexible in your wrists and keep up with your sword!"

"Don't just think about dodging when you come from the front, the pace will be chaotic as soon as you retreat, it's better to look at the opponent's weakness and attack directly!"

"The hilt of the sword should also be used flexibly, and if there is an enemy attacking from behind, you can use the hilt of the sword to attack with a backhand!"

Zhu An gave him a few words from time to time, and he listened to the suggestion, and took the initiative to shoot a sword at the opponent in front of him, and the tip of the sword hit the man's wrist, knocking the long knife in his hand out.

Listening to their conversation, the people around them who were beaten down were stunned by these two people, this is ...... Do you teach how to use a sword when you go into battle? This kind of thing is incredible!

There are so many of them, they are just targets to be beaten!

It feels so bad!

It's a great feeling!

Streamer shouted excitedly in his heart, although he was not yet at the point where he was as handy with a sword as Zhu'an, he himself felt that he was making rapid progress!

And the feeling of sweating so freely is amazing!

It took some time, and the group of people who had just come over were really beaten down, and the onlookers had already been attracted by the fight here, and cheered wildly and enthusiastically, this is two people challenging a group of people!

Streamer wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve, gasped, and kept attacking all the sweat, but he didn't feel tired at all, as if he had endless strength, and he felt that he could fight for a few more rounds.

He grabbed the sword and jumped on the spot with great interest, "Master, master, I want to learn the trick you just used, the left-handed sword!"

Just now he saw that Zhu'an's sword seemed to have a soul, and with a flexible turn in his hand, he quickly changed from his right hand to his left hand, and directly held the sword with his left hand to defeat the encirclement of several people on the left.

A sword, used in a perfect way.

Zhu'an's breath was steady, he didn't sweat at all, looking at the sweaty appearance of the streamer, Wen Yan asked, "After fighting for so long, can you still persevere?"

The streamer danced and gestured, "Yes, master, I can beat down ten more, oh no, a hundred!"

"Well, let's move on. ”

Without waiting for the winners of the fight to come to them, they took the initiative to walk into the crowd.

Zhu'an practiced with the streamer for a long time, and after once again working together to put down the five or six people nearby, the streamer suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he said excitedly to Zhu'an: "Master, master, I will also teach you a trick!"

Zhu An put away his sword and nodded with a smile, "I would like to hear about it." ”
