A girl with an oil-paper umbrella around her waist is riding a small white horse and walking slowly from the forest road.

This girl seems to be only twenty-eight years old, with black hair like a waterfall, a sweet appearance, the pupil color in her beautiful eyes is like light glass, the soft moon seems to be hidden between her eyebrows, and her smile is like a flower. But the slight fly in the ointment is that on that fair and sweet face, there are a few small freckles that are not very conspicuous.

The horse's hooves trampled, shaking off the rain and dew in the early morning, and a majestic city with dragon spirit and wind coexisting was already in sight.

Jinling. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

"It's finally in Jinling. ”

Gongsun Shitong tugged at the reins, "shouted", and groped out a brocade paper from his waist, on which a map of Jinling was drawn. In the early sun, she glanced at the map a few times, and suddenly felt dizzy.

For a road idiot, a map is tantamount to a book from the sky. In her opinion, the names of the buildings marked on the crisscrossed streets are much more terrifying than the six books and four books, three outlines and five constants that her mother gave her when she was a child.

Gongsun Shiyun knocked his forehead helplessly and looked at the fork in front of him. Just as she was at a loss, she heard a ticking sound.

The ticking sound is very fine, soft and soft, with the frequency of showers, but there is no urgency of showers. Gongsun Shitong raised his head, but saw that Li was empty, without a trace of rain, and couldn't help but wonder. Hurriedly turned his head to look around, but found that there was a dense bamboo forest in the west.

The morning breeze blows gently, pulling up the bamboo leaves to surprise the morning dew, softly sprinkled on the ground, and the sound of ticking is like rain.

Through the cracks in the bamboo, she saw a small building.

"There are people living here, so it's better to ask for directions. Gongsun Shitong said to himself, shook the reins lightly, and walked towards the small building.

When Gongsun Shitong walked to the front of the small building, he found that there were several people gathered in front of the courtyard of the small building.

"I heard that one of the old sword's treasured swords was destroyed last night. ”

"What are you talking about? But then again, isn't all the scrap metal he has hidden here? What is the strange thing that one of these thousands of scrap iron swords has been broken?"

"Brother, you don't know, it's true that most of the old swords he hid were scrap iron swords that no one wanted, but you don't know, he also hid a sword that was ranked among the 'famous sword spectrum'. And coincidentally, the sword that was broken off this time was precisely the sword......"

“...... That, I can only say that it's a pity. It's just that the old sword loves the sword as his life, and for this reason, he even changed his name to 'Old Sword', and after this blow, I don't know if he can slow down......"

Gongsun Shiyun faintly heard the discussions of those people, forgot about asking for directions for a while, and was shocked in his heart: "The sword on the famous sword spectrum? The sword in the famous sword spectrum was destroyed by someone......?" What martial arts masters are coming here to harm people?"

Thinking of this, Gongsun Shiyun hurriedly turned over and dismounted with an umbrella, squeezed into the crowd and tiptoed to look inside, only to see a fat middle-aged man holding two severed swords, sitting on a step and crying.

The folk customs of the ancient capital are simple, if you meet an ordinary woman, you will deliberately keep your distance, and when you meet a sweet person like Gongsun Shitong, you will consciously retreat. Therefore, she quickly squeezed out of the crowd and came to the front of the old sword.

Gongsun Shiyun nodded lightly at the few people who comforted the old sword and looked at the old sword. The old sword seemed to have not slept all night, and his eyes were bloodshot. And after seeing the two severed swords held by the old sword, the hand holding the umbrella couldn't help but slip and almost fell to the ground.

"Please mourn. I'll help you find out what's really culprit. Gongsun Shitong sighed with a smile.

"You are bold!" shouted loudly, causing Gongsun Shi to smile and raise his eyes to look over.

The one who accused her was a young man of her age, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome face, and a sharp momentum everywhere on his body. His clothes were slightly disheveled, his sleeves were rolled up, and he carried an extremely narrow bag of cloth behind his back. Judging from the way he dresses, he looks like a ranger who has been covered in dust.

Particularly striking was his blood-like red eyes. When they looked at each other, it was as if they were facing a sharp sword with the tip of the sword facing them, which was dazzling and terrifying.

Gongsun Shitong slowly calmed down and said, "Why is the son insulting me?" ”

The young man sneered and snorted, "Uncle Old Sword's sword was broken, and you are embarrassed to laugh!"

Gongsun Shitong stared at the young man and hesitated for a moment, and thought in his heart: "He can detect such a small smile I just now, presumably this young man must be unusual." But he sneered again, and replied, "Didn't Childe laugh too?"

The young man was not frightened by her, but became more reasonable: "My laughter is the laughter of the road and the injustice of drawing a knife to help, and your laughter is the laugh of sarcasm, can the two of us be the same?"

After being lured by the young man, the people around him, except for the old sword, cast puzzled glances at Gongsun Shitong.

Gongsun Shitong looked at the young man with a row of puzzled eyes, "Could it be that you are still a roundworm in my stomach, do you know what I am thinking?" I am more curious, why are you so aggressive, and what is the relationship between this uncle and you?"

The young man saw that Gongsun Shitong was not as weak as he looked on the outside, so he went down like a frosted eggplant. After thinking for a while, he lifted his spirits and said, "It's just a meeting in Pingshui." Although the encounter in Pingshui is short, this uncle knows the sword and knows the sword! As a swordsman, I like to fight for such a person!"

Gongsun Shiyun was about to say something, but the old sword, who was sitting on the steps, suddenly stood up and said warmly to the young man: "Childe is really a good vision! We don't have to talk to this group of laypeople......

As soon as he heard the young man's words, the old sword had a light in his eyes, and when he saw that the young man met a confidant, he talked a lot of nonsense to the young man. Gongsun Shitong looked at the young man's smug appearance, and in desperation, he no longer pursued it, but asked: "Excuse me, how to get to the Jinling City Gate?" ”

After hearing the words "Jinling Yanfu", everyone present was shocked.

Lao Jian turned his head to look at Gongsun Shitong and said, "Girl, is there something wrong with you going to Jinling Yan Mansion?"

Gongsun Shitong paused and said, "Go see an old man." ”

"Is it possible...... Is it a young man?" the old sword looked incredulous, "Girl, can I tell me your name!"

There were three points of shock and seven points of pleading in his tone.

Among the people on the scene, as long as they have some friendship with Lao Jian, they all know that this person is extremely proud. He collected rotten swords and hid them in a room, and he loved swords as much as he saw them on the street, and he would go up to ask for them. But if that person refuses to give him life or death, or makes unreasonable requests such as kneeling and kowtowing, he will definitely not entangle again, let alone continue to plead.

And at this moment, this person who didn't bend his waist for the three-foot sword actually begged a little girl in a low voice, and just asked her name!

The young man felt the change in Lao Jian's mood, and he also felt the stunned looks of the people around him, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the girl.

"Gongsun Shitong. ”

Old Jian nodded and said, "Good name." ”

Gongsun Shitong looked at the fat that was constantly shaking because of the old sword's nodding, and suddenly remembered something, and asked: "You just said 'Yan Xiaogongzi'? Jinling Yan family is not only the eldest son and the second son, below the second son, there is only one sister, why did a 'Yan Xiaogongzi' suddenly appear?"

When the old sword heard this, he lamented: "Girl...... There are some things that you still don't want to know, if you anger Xiao Gongzi, no matter how good you have a good relationship with him, you will be executed directly!"

Gongsun Shitong gasped and thought in his heart: "In recent years, what has happened in this Jinling?"

"This road out, and then turn a lake, you can see the gate of Jinling City, this gate to enter, just go straight, you can see Yanfu!"

Gongsun Shiyun glanced in the direction pointed by the old swordsman for a few moments, nodded in thanks, and said, "Thank you." The real culprit who broke this sword, when I come back from my errands, I will definitely find it for you. ”

The old sword nodded in reply, then picked up the two severed swords and slowly walked into the house.

When Gongsun Shiyun walked out of the small building listening to the rain, a person was already waiting for her not far in front of her foal. She fixed her eyes and saw that it was the teenager who was arguing with her.

"What are you doing again?" said Gongsun Shiyun angrily.

The young man sneered and said, "Sister, I am also going to Jinling Yan Mansion." I'm a little tired from running around for a few days, take me a!"

Gongsun Shitong bounced back the piece of broken silver in the air, and after watching the young man catch the broken silver safely, he shook his head and said, "I don't want your silver." When she jumped on horseback, "I don't want you either." ”

With that, he slapped the horse's buttocks and walked away, rolling up a cloud of dust.

The young man was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and his clothes were windless.

Listen to the rain in the small building.

After watching Gongsun Shiyun leave, a man turned his eyes to look at Lao Jian. At this moment, the old sword was a little calm, and he was like two people who cried wolf because the sword was broken before.

The man couldn't help but ask, "Old Jian, why do you want to ask this girl's name? Moreover, she is not a celebrity, I have never heard this name in the rivers and lakes?"

Lao Jian said slowly: "Although I haven't heard of it, she will soon be famous all over the world." After all, I still see the sword very accurately. ”

The man wondered, "Did that girl have a sword on her just now?"

The old sword shook his head profoundly, as if he didn't want to answer the question.

As a neighbor for a long time, the man had long been accustomed to Lao Jian's nervous personality, so he stopped asking this question: "Why did you show her the way to Yan's house, after all, it was ...... there"

"No, just because her surname is 'Gongsun'. The old sword interrupted him.

“......”

"Those past events should also have an end. ”

......

Gongsun Shitong drove out on the horse for only a moment, and suddenly realized that a figure was already following him. Turning his head, he saw the young man from before, urging light exercises, following her closely.

As if expected, Gongsun Shitong's face was extremely calm: "You are really not ordinary." Get on the horse. ”

The boy got up and jumped on his horse.

Gongsun Shiyun slowed down and asked, "You already know my name, you must let me know yours." ”

The young man's eyes were full of flying: "Luo Feiyu." Drive!"
