Li Fuyao and the caravan that left Shaoliang City together, not to do the business of transporting some rare things from Shaoliang City to the north to sell, nor to earn yellow and white things by these goods, but the goods transported by this caravan except for some grain and winter clothes, the rest of the things were some exquisite food that was not produced in Beiyan County, which was raised and purchased by some wealthy merchants in Shaoliang City, and was sent to Beiyan County to reward those soldiers on the front line. The winter supplies to be sent to the border army by the military department are being raised, and it will not be long before they can be sent to the front line The role, but from Shaoliang City to Beiyan County, the road is far away, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong, so before leaving the city, this team of business travelers has already spent silver, so that the largest town in Shaoliang City is escorted by the head of the dart Lu Changnian, who has never made a mistake since his debut, and there are almost 100 people in the dart bureau, all of whom are good players in the rivers and lakes.

It's just that even so, the chief dart head did not dare to take it lightly, and before he left the city, he suggested that Mr. Yang Da, who was in charge of this matter in the business travel, recruit a few more good players, after all, the value of these goods is really not light.

In Shaoliang City, the list was released, and for three days, there were a lot of people who came, but whether it was from Lu Changnian or Mr. Yang, they couldn't look at it.

Before finally giving up, there was a young man in a white robe with a sword box on his back who said that he wanted to give it a try, and he didn't want any money, as long as he took care of three meals, and didn't let him walk with a pair of fleshy feet, Lu Changnian looked at him like that, and was a little hesitant at first, but the young man was not angry at all, just said that he would let a good man try it.

Whether the handle is hard or not, in the end it still has to be revealed.

Then the white-robed young man had a draw with the disciple who had been quite important to the chief dart head Lu for many years in the martial arts arena of the dart game, which suddenly made the chief dart head a little surprised, after all, from beginning to end, the young man with the sword box on his back had not even taken out the sword behind him.

After this matter was finalized, in addition to the hundred people from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, there was also a young man in a white robe with a sword box on his back.

On the way from Shaoliang City to Beiyan County, in fact, the hundred people in the dart bureau are not without a great interest in that young man, after all, according to Lu Changnian, he can have such a martial arts cultivation at such an age, and ordinary small families will definitely not be able to cultivate it, even if it is not as good as the famous martial arts family of the Xie family, it is really not too much.

Among these hundred people, there are several female dart masters who have walked the rivers and lakes for some years are quite interested in this young man, and when the caravan rests on weekdays, they like to rely on this young man not far and ask some questions that are not salty or light.

The white-robed young man has a good temper, except for these female dart masters who are willing to say a few words to him, the rest of the dart game players heard that he and the disciple who is known as the top three in the young generation in the dart game have a tie, when he has nothing to do, three or three also talk with him very happily, there are a few good hands with swords in the dart game, I don't know how, is it to consult with the young man or something else, inexplicably began to have some sincere admiration for this young man, see him, are willing to sincerely shout Li Gongzi.

The white-robed young man surnamed Li didn't stop him, anyway, according to his words, he could shout if he wanted to, it was no big deal.

It's just that when someone asked to see what kind of magic weapon the sword in his sword box was, the boy always smiled and refused, whatever you say, anyway, the boy who didn't have a bad temper just smiled and didn't agree.

was soaked in soft grinding for several days, but I didn't see that Li Gongzi let go, and everyone in the dart game gave up, and then gossiped that they didn't mention the matter of looking at the sword.

The days passed, and one day, after nearly half the journey, the caravan encountered the first snow, the snow was not heavy, and it happened to be able to wet people's clothes, and the caravan found a long-abandoned mountain hut, which should have been the temporary residence of those people who used to go up the mountain to collect firewood, but now it is deserted.

There are many thatched huts, several of them, which can accommodate more than 100 people.

Lu Changnian was invited by Mr. Yang Da to discuss things in the distance, and the rest of the people were sheltering from the snow in the house, only Li Fuyao took a branch and squatted under a big tree next to the thatched hut that was enough to block the heavy snow, drawing something on the ground.

As a result, he didn't stay long before Li Fuyao's shoulder was patted, and before he could turn his head, the person who patted him on the shoulder had already arrived in front of him, a female dart master with a delicate sword.

is also the niece of the chief dart head Lu Changnian, Lu Xiaowan.

She is the only one of these female dart masters who uses a sword.

Lu Xiaowan squatted in front of Li Fuyao, looking at what this guy had drawn on the ground, a little inexplicable, and then asked, "Li Fuyao, what are you painting?"

Li Fuyao ignored her and continued to draw something, but the woman soon snatched the dead branch in her hand and threw it away.

Li Fuyao was not angry, but a little helpless.

Lu Xiaowan frowned instead, "It is said that your martial arts skills are not much different from those of the second senior brother, why is your temper so much better than his? This is not angry? I heard that you didn't use a sword in a competition with the second senior brother before, is there no sword in the sword box behind you at all?"

Li Fuyao ignored her, just leaned back, sat under the big tree, untied the sword box, leaned against the trunk behind his back, he put one hand on the sword box, and simply closed his eyes to recuperate, but the movements had already shown that the sword box was not shown to her.

Lu Xiaowan took out a pot of wine from behind her, poured a few sips into her mouth, and sighed: "I don't know where the weirdo came from, and I don't drink wine, Li Fuyao, I suspect that you are from the palace." ”

Li Fuyao opened his eyes, looking at this female dart master who likes to drink, and his scalp was numb, he first said that he would not drink when he walked with the caravan, but after Lu Xiaowan and he got acquainted, he really teased him with wine from time to time, saying that there is a reason in the world where there is no way to walk the rivers and lakes without drinking, Li Fuyao will not pay attention to these words, but he can't stand this Lu Xiaowan comes to him every day to drink a pot or two of wine, so that Li Fuyao is really helpless, and according to the rest of the people in the dart game, this fifteenth senior sister has an amazing amount of wine, and one or two pots are not drunk at all。

This is a strange thing, after all, this Lu girl's father, the younger brother of the chief dart head Lu Changnian, is really not a drop of alcohol.

Li Fuyao was extremely helpless, "Miss Lu, if you have nothing to do, it is better to practice a few sets of swordsmanship, you are all living a life of licking blood on the edge of the knife, and the handle is not hard, but I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later." ”

Lu Xiaowan glared at Li Fuyao, gritted her teeth and said, "Li Fuyao, what did you say?"

Li Fuyao said patiently: "Don't say whether you are walking the rivers and lakes, even if you are a young lady from a big family, you always have to have the power of self-protection if you don't go out of the door on weekdays, not to mention that you are doing this kind of business, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you can't protect the dart, you have to protect your own life." ”

Lu Xiaowan covered her mouth and smiled: "Li Fuyao, looking at you like this, you really look like a senior in the rivers and lakes who have walked a long way, oops, if you think I can't do swordsmanship, help me more on the road in the future?"

Li Fuyao's face was expressionless, "I can help for a while, but I can't help for a lifetime." ”

Lu Xiaowan wanted to say something, but a majestic voice came out behind her, "Xiaowan!"

Without turning her head, Lu Xiaowan knew that her uncle must be here.

Lu Changnian, who was dressed in a green cloth robe, hung a sword from his waist, walked a few steps, and said to Lu Xiaowan: "Xiaowan, you go and help your senior brothers see if there is anything unusual, uncle has something to say to Li Gongzi." ”

Lu Xiaowan stuck out her tongue and didn't say anything, in the Lu family, no one dared to confront this uncle in person.

After Lu Xiaowan left, Lu Changnian bowed his hand to Li Fu, "Li Gongzi, can you say a few words to Zaixia?"

Li Fuyao stood up, nodded and smiled: "Naturally, it's okay." ”

Lu Changnian asked straight to the point: "Li Gongzi's martial arts realm, it should be to win my disciples who are not successful, and he must have been merciful to his subordinates that day, these days Lu and Mr. Yang Da have observed, and feel that Li Gongzi's martial arts cultivation is much higher than what Lu thinks, and today I want Li Gongzi to get to the bottom of it, what is the level of Li Gongzi's martial arts realm? What are you willing to do for us people?"

Li Fuyao frowned, and answered the question, "On the road ahead, there are ruthless characters who can't handle the dart?"

Lu Changnian said frankly: "After this place, in front of Mianshan County, there is a Feng Qianshan who is known as the first master of the underworld, this Jianghu hero was originally active in the southeast generation before, and recently I don't know why he came to the north, and collected all the several cities in Mianshan under his command, and now we go forward, nine times out of ten, we will have to suffer a hard battle, in fact, if it is not for this news to come, Zhenyuan Dart Bureau may not dare to take such a dart." Of course, if it is really impossible, we can also wait for a while, and wait until the army of grain guards from the military department follows behind, and then go to Beiyan County with them, but in this case, we will not be able to reach the border on time. ”

Li Fuyao was silent for a moment, but still didn't say it thoroughly, but just asked, "None of the hundred people in the head of the dart are opponents?"

Lu Changnian sighed: " Feng Qianshan was a generation of grandmasters on the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in the southeast has an invincible saying, with a knife is extremely powerful, later it is said that it was a mysterious person with a knife challenge, after the defeat was disheartened, turned into the underworld, and later became the leading hero on the underworld, in the past he was in the southeast, we take over the business big deal not to go to the southeast, but now it appears in the north, it is really caught off guard by Lu, but even so, there is still no reason for Li Gongzi to die, today to talk to Li Gongzi about these things, is for Li Gongzi to choose, if you are afraid of trouble, you can go first。 ”

Lu Changnian is worthy of being a figure who has been crawling on the rivers and lakes for so many years, and when he talks about these things, he doesn't forget to leave a little thin face for Li Fuyao.

There is no straightforward explanation.

Li Fuyao thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "Since it is Mr. Lu Darthead who said so, Mr. Yang Da's meal is not bad, I don't think there is a reason to leave, if Mr. Lu can be trusted, Feng Qianshan will leave it to Mr. Dart, and I will clean up the rest." ”

Lu Changnian quipped: "Li Gongzi said so, but let Lu jump into the fire pit, this knife in a thousand mountains is much faster than Lu's sword." ”

Li Fu shook his head, according to him, this Mr. Lu's dart head is actually not bad, although he is not one of those famous knights on the rivers and lakes, but in fact, no matter how you look at it, he belongs to the kind of person who hides clumsy.

Walking the rivers and lakes, but only in this way can you live longer.

Lu Changnian, who put down a big stone in his heart, did not leave in a hurry, but asked another question, "Lu dares to ask, since Li Gongzi is using a sword, where does he come from? Or does it have something to do with which family?"

Li Fuyao said as if he was free and easy: "I have some affection with that Xie Jiabaoshu, and that guy was drunk before and dared to joke that I should take his perch and go around to see the scenery he has not seen." ”

Lu Changnian was stunned at first, and then said with relief: "That General Xie's martial arts talent is not weaker than his attainments in the art of war, if it weren't for the fact that the Great Zhou really needed a battlefield general, maybe there would be such a great master in this river and lake." ”

In the final analysis, he still didn't believe that Li Fuyao had anything to do with that Xie Jiabaoshu.

Li Fuyao saw it, but just laughed it off.

Lu Changnian chatted with Li Fuyao again for a while, and then left.

It's just that before leaving, he still looked at the sword box in front of Li Fuyao.

Then, only about half an hour later, Mr. Yang Da asked someone to bring a pot of hot tea, and now one or two hundred people in the caravan knew that this prince did not drink, so he sent hot tea.

Li Fuyao lifted the pot of hot tea, held it in the palm of his hand, and was not in a hurry to drink it, but just felt the slightly scorching temperature of the teapot.

This snow has been falling for a short time, and now the big tree above his head is already full of hoarfrost, as for the front of him, if he hadn't intentionally or unintentionally used his sword qi to isolate the wind and snow, maybe it would have been the same situation.

Li Fuyao, who has never used a sword, and Li Fuyao, who has never raised a sword these days, finally sat down at this moment, opened the sword box, put the two swords on his lap, and closed his eyes to raise the sword.

Qingsi and Xiaoxue, Qingsi didn't react much, Xiaoxue may have seen this snow, so she was a little happy.

The blade trembled slightly.

The sword qi overflowed slightly, only within a zhang around Li Fuyao, not allowing the wind and snow to get close.

Those dart masters who were far away saw the two swords in Li Fuyao's sword box for the first time, and thought that they were about to come over to take a look, but they were stopped by the head of the dart Lu with a word.

"Li Gongzi has reached a critical moment, you rush over like this, are you not afraid that Li Gongzi will go crazy?!"

Lu Changnian regarded Li Fuyao's sword cultivation as an understanding of martial arts, and he made progress.

After a while, he secretly admired, such a person, at such an age, can make great progress in martial arts, and let him go on for a few decades, maybe the first person in the Great Zhou Jianghu will really be displaced.

Mr. Yang Da, who was wearing a thick winter coat, walked a few steps here, stood beside Lu Changnian, and asked softly, "What do you think of the head dart?"

Lu Changnian did not hide this Mr. Yang Da, who was quite prestigious in Shaoliang City, and bluntly expressed his opinion, "According to Lu, this Li Gongzi's martial arts realm will not be too low, even if it is not as good as Lu, but in fact it is not much worse, if Lu wants to defeat him, I am afraid that it will be after five hundred moves, and in these five hundred moves, I must beware of whether he has some sword moves that Lu has not seen, young and promising, this sentence is placed on Li Gongzi, it is not bad at all!"

Mr. Yang said softly: "When did such a person appear on the rivers and lakes of the Great Zhou, I still don't know at all?"

Lu Changnian remembered Li Fuyao's statement before, and said with some uncertainty: "Before, he said that he had something to do with that Xie family treasure tree, Lu didn't believe it, since the Xie family is a famous family in the rivers and lakes, the children of the clan will not change their names and surnames, now that I think about it, in fact, if Li Gongzi and Xie Ying have some intersections, it is normal, no matter how high the Xie family treasure tree is, he will not look down on this one no matter how high he is." If it was really a young genius that Xie Ying was willing to befriend, if he let him die in the north, he would be a little sorry for him. ”

"It's not clear, this dart should not be so bad luck, after all, no matter how you look at it, this dart is not for those silver coins, if something happens in this way, will Lu really be a dart master full of copper smell in the future?"

Speaking of Xie Ying, Mr. Yang Da said with a smile: "I received news from Shaoliang City before, saying that now our General Xie has become the commander of the border army, and he is the first person in the Great Zhou army. ”

Lu Changnian sighed, "When I was out of Shaoliang City before, there was a saying that Xie Lang would not marry, but now I am afraid that the women in the whole Da Zhou are like this, you say it is not strange, Lu was also a beautiful boy of the first class when he was young, and it is not bad when it comes to the realm of martial arts, but why has no woman ever expressed her affection? ”

Mr. Yang laughed and said: "Mr. Lu's dart, needless to say, the appearance of the skin is needless to say, just the mouth of the head of the dart is not bad, no woman looked at the head of the dart at that time, it was really unexpected." ”

Lu Changnian laughed.

Then the two turned their heads and saw that many female dart masters on the other side of the hut were looking at Li Fuyao, who was raising swords under the tree, Mr. Yang pulled the corners of his mouth and said calmly: "This Li Gongzi is not too reckless." ”

Lu Changnian looked strange, "To be honest, Lu was really much more handsome than him when he was young. ”
