Chapter Forty-Eight: A Sword Seals the Throat
Back in the room, Yun Qinglin was still there.
There was an oil lamp on the table, and the candle was bright, and he sat with his back to the door, flipping through the books in his hands.
I walked over to him and sat down, flipped over the teacup, and poured myself a glass.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Yun Qinglin.
"My head doesn't hurt anymore. I replied.
Yun Qinglin closed the book and said, "Let's go, let's go to my courtyard for dinner tonight." ”
I suddenly saw Bai Qiao and Yu Dai all the way through the door, could it be that they were in Yun Qinglin's courtyard?
And so it was.
Bai Qiaole couldn't close his mouth, and approached me and said, "The eldest prince ordered someone to make a lot of delicious food, and called me and Yu Dai early to fight." ”
"I see that you are very happy to return to the courtyard of the eldest prince, otherwise, you can come back again. I teased.
Bai Qiao hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, how can you be free and comfortable in the Yishui Pavilion." ”
"You can see it. I complimented.
This is the second time I have come to Yun Qinglin's courtyard, the last time, on the day of his wedding, Xu Yutang took the fake death pill and lay on Yun Qinglin's bed. I brought Shui's medical skills and came in to put on a show. Thinking about it like this, Yun Qinglin really has a big heart. If it were me, I wouldn't dare.
Yun Qinglin stopped and looked back at me.
This person has a good heart. I followed in his footsteps.
Dinner was arranged in the living room: a round table, only palm-sized plates, a dozen dishes, spread over the entire round table.
Bai Qiao and Yu Dai set up a table in the courtyard, and there were only me and Yun Qinglin in the living room.
I don't have to talk when I eat, the dishes are light and well-made, and I eat the same and I'm in a good mood.
For the dishes that were a little farther away, Yun Qinglin took the initiative to put them in my bowl. I thought it was funny, and glanced at him, and he was as calm as ever.
After eating, he stood in front of the window and didn't pick up a book to read, which was really rare.
Yun Qinglin's yard is very large, and I walk around to eliminate food. Bai Qiao and Yu Dai helped clean up, and they also followed me, which can be regarded as eating.
"Is this, waterwheel?" I asked, pointing to the two round wheels erected by the pond.
"Yes, Miss, the eldest prince ordered someone to make it. Yu Dai replied.
"The water in the pond is slow to flow, and the size of the waterwheel is small, so it can't rely on manpower. So how does it work?" I asked again.
"By the rats. Bai Qiao replied.
"Mouse?"
"Well, rats like to run, so put a few rats in a bucket-shaped axle, and the axle can turn to make the water wheel move. ”
I nodded, but I thought in my heart: Before Yun Yuelang became the leader of the martial arts alliance, Yunfu was already a big family in Hongzhou, and after Yun Yuelang was in the rivers and lakes, the two sons of Yunfu were born one after another, and the environment in which they grew up was excellent, and their outings and travels were properly arranged. Rats and waterwheels, this is not like something that the son of the martial arts alliance leader can think of.
Continue to walk a little further in the courtyard, and the scenery inside the courtyard is no different from the scenery outside the courtyard.
Back in the living room, drank a pot of ripe tea to warm the stomach, I asked about the waterwheel in the courtyard, Yun Qinglin rarely thought about it for a while, and then replied to me: "I saw the waterwheel by chance, and then I saw a mouse, and suddenly I got in touch." ”
It makes sense.
Early the next morning, at three o'clock in the morning, I put on the new white men's clothes made by the lady and walked into the prince's mansion.
The Prince's Mansion adheres to the royal tradition in its architectural layout, with guests entertained in the south, living and living in the north, banquets and ceremonies in the west, and military training in the east. In the Prince's Mansion, the guards all have military registration, which is different from the military registration of the guards of the Mingyuan Palace, which does not belong to the prince's name, but is compiled in the royal family military guard book.
Because of this, the crown prince formed a secret guard team of his own. The secret guard team takes protection as its main task, and acts as the prince's henchmen, secretly identifying fellow parties and eradicating dissidents. On weekdays, the secret guard team disguised their identities as instructors in the martial arts training ground of the Prince's Mansion.
"Sect Lin is good. A captain of the guard greeted.
Lin Wei has profound martial arts, he doesn't make many friends in the past day, and he likes to be alone.
"Longtan Tiger's Den", or "put it to death and live later", I walked around the Prince's Mansion today, these carefully selected guards will definitely remember me, and if I break into this place at night in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that I will not be recognized soon.
Within the walls of the Prince's Mansion, there is a post in ten steps, and a post in fifty steps. In half an hour, the three-way patrol met twice. The first escort extends from the south gate to the northwest, the first escort line is arranged in the direction of due north around the central axis, and the first escort is arranged from the east gate to the south gate after turning the direction. After the three escort captains gather, they patrol in reverse divergence.
"Water boy, please. Lin Wei raised his right hand and pointed to the martial arts training ground in the East Courtyard.
The scale of the martial arts training ground is grand and the momentum is extraordinary. Archery, equestrian, martial arts, all kinds of weapons are complete, and the quality is of the highest quality.
There are about 20 people in the field, and they are divided into different project venues, practicing in pairs.
A heroic instructor brought a set of tea sets, put them down, and lit the fire under the teapot.
"Let's go down. Lin Wei waved his hand and said.
"Yes, Sect Leader. ”
"Please be seated. That day, I saw that your kung fu on your legs was very good, and the external strength was sufficient and the internal strength was deep, which was really rare. I have a little bit of research on weapons, so I have plenty of time today to try and learn from you. Lin Wei said.
"Lin Gongzi is a master of leg art, and I am overjoyed to be able to praise me so much. However, I only know a few of the eighteen weapons. I said.
"Sword, 'King of a Hundred Soldiers'. Bilateral blades, horizontal and vertical can hurt people, and stabbing can penetrate armor. Hence the sayings of wielding swords and stabbing swords. I said, pointing to the sword closest to me.
"The sword, dangerous and abnormal, is born to kill. However, Wu also has a way, and the appearance of the long sword dance in the song workshop makes the sharp sword more tender. Why don't we compare swordsmanship first. Lin Wei got up and picked up a long sword and handed it to me.
Lin Wei said that the competition is swordsmanship, which means to learn the skillful use of moves and swords.
I took the long sword, said the word "please", rotated my wrist inward, and swung the sword out.
Many years ago, at the annual martial arts conference, a young talent appeared for the first time and used a set of trickles like water. Tumbling and flowing, misty Han Xiao swordsmanship. It was the Shuinan Dynasty, which had a high status in the Shui clan.
Lin Wei's leg skills are outstanding, and the double-edged long sword is not the best weapon he uses, but it is not bad. The sword is in his hand, and it is another pair of powerful legs and feet, overwhelming the mountains and seas, and the anger is in the sky. Seven-layer Hanxiao swordsmanship, where it is displayed, is a horse and a flat river, pulling off the microwave in the air, Xu Feng hitting the face, with ease, and then divided into two, baking clouds and supporting the moon. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Han Xiao's swordsmanship is light and light, regardless of the wind and waves, it has surpassed him.
Putting away the sword, Lin Wei clenched his fists and said: "Shui Gongzi's swordsmanship is not something that can be cultivated by practicing every day, and his perseverance is commendable." ”
Lin Gongzi agreed. I replied.
"The water boy makes the sword, like a spring breeze, and the sword is one, I have never heard of it, but I feel kind. Lin Wei said again.
Lin Wei is different from his sister Lin Li, the city government is deep but respects the facts, he loves martial arts, and is willing to appreciate people with high attainments in martial arts.
I smiled, but didn't answer.
The second weapon is the whip. Lin Wei chose the hard whip, and I chose the soft whip. The hard whip is made of steel, with a total of thirteen sections, with sharp ends, and is mainly used for smashing. Bai Yun is a good hand with a long soft whip, I recall the one move she played at me in the Liuzhou Panfu Courtyard, and took the initiative to attack, and the long whip turned into a spirit snake and wrapped around Lin Wei.
Lin Wei is strong and strong, and the hard whip is like a hurricane, and it is also like an artifact that breaks through the sky.
"I am familiar with the number of ways you make the soft whip, and it is the famous trick of the Snake Mountain sister Bai Yun. Lin Wei said.
"Yes, I fought with her, and by the way remembered her whip moves. "I'll reply.
Lin Wei thought about it, increased his speed, turned passive to active, and controlled the soft whip like a hard whip. I always stopped my martial arts at the realm of white clouds, and after a few rounds, the soft whip fell to the ground.
"The soft whip is also a weapon that has been practiced for many years, and when it reaches such a realm, it can indeed make a name for itself in the rivers and lakes. Lin Wei commented.
Lin Wei also exchanged knife skills, marksmanship, bows and crossbows with me.
I only know a few theories. He patiently showed me and compared a few sets of corresponding techniques.
In the end, he took out the weapon he was best at, and it was also the weapon that his sister Lin Li was good at, the soft sword.
"Water boy, please choose a suitable weapon. Lin Wei said, instead of choosing to give me a soft sword.
I picked the long sword that I used in the first battle with him, and as soon as I clenched it, the soft sword cut at me.
In front of him was the shadow of a thousand swords, and in his ears was the continuous shaking sound of the soft sword. Lin Li's famous skill is to break his throat with a sword, and Lin Wei is famous for cutting his veins with one finger. Lin Wei is full of strength, and his sword is like a finger, and each sword can cut the arteries of the human body closely.
Today, what he shot was really not a finger to cut the pulse, but a sword to cut the throat. He was testing me, testing me to see if I was worthy of doubt.
The essence of a sword to break the throat is to win by surprise, the sound of the east and the west, and the left looks at him, in order to expose the carotid artery of the other party and break the throat with a sword.
Han Xiao's swordsmanship is the meticulous work of the ancestors of the Shui clan, and the moves are unfathomable. Lin Wei had just seen the seventh layer of Han Xiao's swordsmanship, so he naturally predicted that after thirty moves, I would flick away his soft sword.
His face was solemn, knowing that a sword cutting his throat was not an opponent of Han Xiao's swordsmanship.
"A sword breaks the throat, and it is quite famous in the rivers and lakes. I've heard that the best use of this move is a girl. I said.
Lin Wei's eyes were dark, and he said, "Yes, it's my sister." ”
I replied in surprise: "So, Lin Gongzi's 'one-finger cutting vein'?" I only said half of what I said.
"Yes. He admitted.
"Lin Gongzi is interesting, use his sister's moves to learn from me. Do you mind that I borrowed the martial arts of the White Cloud Girl just now?" I said to him calmly with a sincere gaze.
Lin Wei put away the soft sword and didn't explain to me, but said: "The water boy is too careful, and the 'One Finger Cutting Vein' will ask you for advice if he has the opportunity." ”
I raised my left index finger and tapped at him.
The blue flame in my eyes suddenly flashed, I quickly closed my eyes, relied on my hearing, swung the long sword that was about to be put down, turned my wrist sharply, and built a sword wall in front of me.
Five seven-star darts bounce into the dirt.
Seven-star darts?Five consecutive seven-star darts, this is a classic usage.
As the most common hidden weapon in the rivers and lakes, the power of the Seven Star Dart depends on the user, and if his internal force skills are first-class, it is ten times stronger than a crossbow arrow. Just now, the murderous aura of the Seven Star Dart instantly stimulated the snow wolf secret in my body, and the existence of this master in the Prince's Mansion will be my fierce opponent.
The man in black masked? Soon, I heard someone approaching.
Lin Wei took a step back and saluted respectfully: "King Huairenjun." ”
I frowned, guarded.
The five consecutive seven-star darts didn't seem to be his masterpiece, Li Zhan didn't have a trace of murderous aura all over his body, he looked at me condescendingly, his face was expressionless, and his pale pupils were studying my eyes, trying to find any traces from them.
I was even more suspicious, and I stared into his eyes for a special sign.
Lin Wei coughed beside him and said, "King Jun, this is the guest I invited, Shui Xihan." ”
He said to me again, "This is the king of Huairen, who ranks third among the prince's kings in terms of age. ”
Lin Wei doesn't call me Shui Gongzi, it seems that in front of Li Zhan, he is cautious in his words and deeds.
"Who is rare?" said to me as King Huairenjun read my name awkwardly, "I was just invited yesterday, and I will see you in the house today, so why don't you come to my courtyard for lunch." ”
I withdrew my gaze and looked into his face.
