In the haze, I saw a young woman sitting behind the stone table in the Zhu Pavilion, wearing a goose yellow light gauze long skirt, caressing a guqin, her long black hair hanging down on her chest like a waterfall, and her hand touching the qin was as delicate as an onion, which was Zhu Zhirui. Zhu Yushi suddenly felt rude when he www.biquge.info the pen and wanted to avoid it. Zhu Zhirui was a little startled when she found someone, the sound of the piano stopped, and after seeing that it was him, she asked softly: "Where is Engong?" Zhu Yushi had to stop and turn around, bowed down and said: "I am reckless, follow the sound of the piano and mistakenly enter the Miss Show Courtyard, and I hope that Miss will atone for her sins." Zhu Zhirui got up and returned to Ten Thousand Blessings, sat down and said, "Engong is coming, and the courtyard will be brighter." Isn't it because the little woman's piano sound is dirty?" Zhu Yushi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, Miss Piano has a beautiful sound, like a spring breeze and rain, and there are a layman, lest it disturb Miss Yaxing." Zhu Zhirui smiled lightly: "Those who are good at music are not all elegant people, and those who are not good at music are not all laymen." Engong was attracted by the sound of the piano, which shows that he is also an elegant person. Zhu Yushi said: "Don't dare to be." Zhu Zhirui said: "The talented little girl is not for people, if Engong likes it, the little girl is willing to play another song to present." ”

Zhu Yushi said strangely: "If it's not for people, who is it for?" Zhu Zhirui said: "For this garden full of peonies." The little girl would come here every morning to play music for them, and she would not stop for ten years. Zhu Yushi said in surprise: "Flowers also know how to listen to music? This is the first time I have heard of it." Zhu Zhirui said with a smile: "Flowers and plants are all living beings, playing the piano can make them feel happy, and the flowers will be more delicate and the green leaves will be more green over time." This is also one of the secrets of little women's flower raising. Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "No wonder others say that the peony cultivated by Miss is elegant and atmospheric, and it turns out that there is such a know-how." Ordinary gardeners don't know the rhythm, and even if they do, they can't play for the flowers and plants, and they haven't heard many tunes below, so I don't know what the young lady just played is called?"

Zhu Zhirui smiled: "There is no fixed tune for the tune, it is played according to the season, weather, and mood." The little woman gave it a meaningless name, called "Peony Song of Breeze Ruyi". Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "Miss is so beautiful and beautiful to do as she likes, if you play it with your heart, you don't know what kind of mountain and flowing water sound." Zhu Zhirui said: "The little woman likes to play Zhu Xi's "Bijian Flowing Spring", which is now played under the guidance of Engong. Zhu Yushi said: "How can you be worthy of instructing Miss below, just listen to me." ”

Zhu Zhirui set up her fingering, first from a few deep and inconsistent tones, high-pitched several sounds, and then turned into a low one, so that the cycle alternates, showing the high mountains, a trickle of clear spring bursting out between the strange peaks and stones, sometimes urgent and sometimes slow, ups and downs, twists and turns. As the tone gradually became high-pitched, Zhu Yu seemed to be in the middle of the green mountains and green waters, as if he saw the stream whirlpool hitting the protruding rocks, splashing and repeatingly, which made people feel emotional. Then the melody gradually turns calm, as if the stream has gone, the peaks and loops turn, and its feelings are deep and long, and the artistic conception is endless. With a crisp and bright tail, the song ends, and the aftermath lingers, making it difficult to extricate yourself.

Zhu Zhirui said: "The little woman is ugly. Only then did Zhu Yushi come back to his senses, applauded and praised: "Good! Good! The song is good, and the play is better." Zhu Zhirui said shyly: "Thank you for your praise." Zhu Yushi said: "It's a pity that I have to deal with the group of thieves in the Mabang today, and I am not in the mood to experience the sound of the young lady's piano. Zhu Zhirui said: "The little woman can also play 'Ambush on All Sides', but she can't play the overlord spirit of pulling out the mountains and covering the world, so it's better not to play." Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Miss is delicate and expensive, it would be strange if she could play out the unpaid pride of the overlord of Xichu." Zhu Zhirui suddenly said: "I'm not a weak woman, even if I meet a bad person, I'm not afraid at all." Zhu Yushi smiled: "This is not bad. Last night, Miss did not hesitate to sacrifice herself for the sake of the family, decisive and resolute, soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, and I admired her very much. Zhu Zhirui smiled and said: "Being praised by Engong like this, the little woman also felt that she was very powerful at that time, but she was still scared when she thought about it, and she couldn't believe that she could say such a thing." ”

At this moment, a maid hurriedly ran into the courtyard and asked, "Miss, is Engong here?" Zhu Zhirui said: "You are talking to me, Luo Yan, what are you doing?" Luo Yan ran to the front and said: "The master couldn't find Engong in the room, so we asked us to look everywhere." Zhu Yushi said: "Blame me for walking around, just go with the girl, do you know what your master is looking for me?" Luo Yan said: "The slave only heard that the people of the Ma Gang replied to the letter, and Engong went to see it." ”

Led by Luo Yan, the three of them came to Zhu Wancheng's study, in addition to the Zhu family's father and son, there were two dart masters and three veteran nurses. When Zhu Wancheng saw Zhu Yu, he hurriedly said, "Engong, come and take a look at this." Zhu Yushi followed him to the bookcase, and saw a banner of Zou Baba on it, which read, "At noon today, I wish the family is full, and there are no chickens and dogs." "The payment is the owner of the Mabang Huangxing Hall, Hu Xinghai. Zhu Yushi said: "How did this come about?" Zhu Wancheng said: "The old man sent people to monitor the ox cart carrying the horse gang outside the city, but the person who monitored it took a nap during the fifth watch, and when he woke up, he found that the ox cart was gone, and the slogan on the bamboo pole was replaced with this, so he sent it back." Such a mistake must be punished well. ”

Zhu Yushi said: "Don't blame him, old man, presumably he fell asleep after being clicked on the acupoint, and if he didn't kill him, he asked him to come back and report the news, and this banner is the war letter given to us by the Ma Gang." Zhu Wancheng said worriedly: "I didn't expect them to come at noon, earlier than expected." Zhu Yushi said: "It can be seen that they are eager for revenge, if it weren't for the purpose of gathering people, maybe they would have come by now." In this way, it is easy to make mistakes when I am angry, and I have a chance to take advantage of it. Have the families of the two sons arrived at the mansion?" Zhu Fuguo said: "Yes, they have moved to the mansion last night. But does Brother Fu really plan to fight the enemy alone? We are not afraid of death, and we are willing to fight together with Brother Fu."

The dart masters and the nurses all said, "Yes! Zhu Yushi said: "I have emphasized to Mr. Zhu last night that if you can trust me, you will all hide in the cellar, and I will deal with the enemy." Zhu Zhirui was shocked: "You want to fight alone? They may come with dozens or even hundreds of people." Zhu Yushi said firmly: "No matter how many of them come, I'm alone." Zhu Wancheng said: "Brother Fu has made up his mind, don't persuade everyone, just follow the arrangement." There must be many enemies, and Brother Fu can't meet the enemy empty-handed, but what weapons are there that can be used easily?"

Zhu Yushi thought that although he was good at boxing, fingering and light skills, he still had more weapons in the melee, and he thought that when he saw Luo Tianchu and Liu Shaoqing using swords a lot, he also had a little experience, so he said: "I am willing to borrow a long sword." Zhu Wancheng said: "The old man has a sword, which has been passed down from family to nine generations, and is one of the 'seven famous swords' today, so give it to Brother Fu to meet the enemy." Zhu Yushi said: "How dare you ask for the old man's heirloom in the future, just an ordinary long sword." Zhu Wancheng said: "The sword is matched with the hero, and the thing is the master." If a person dies, what is the use of asking for a sword, Brother Fu accepts it. Zhu Yushi said: "It's okay, after the war, you should pay it back." Zhu Wancheng smiled meaningfully: "If Brother Fu can win, the old man will give you a real treasure, and now the old man will take you to get the sword." ”

The sword was hidden in the cellar, and Zhu Wancheng pushed open a bookcase, and there was a stone slab under the cabinet, which looked no different from other stone slabs. Zhu Wancheng said with a smile: "Secret passages are usually equipped with mechanisms, but the safest mechanism is that there is no mechanism, and the only way to open the stone slab to enter the secret passage is to use your fingers to open it from the outside." With that, he crouched down and lifted the stone slab with his fingers, revealing a dark, damp passage of stone steps, stretching straight into the darkness.

Zhu Wancheng held a torch and led everyone down the passage, the stone steps were not long, and they arrived at the flat ground after eight or nine steps. Zhu Wancheng lit the candles in the lamp holder on the wall, and the room became bright, the stone room was made of granite, open and large, which could accommodate hundreds of people, and there was a passage for crawling at the other end, which should lead to Zhu Wancheng's bedroom. There were enough cured meats and dry food to last a few months, and under the east wall lay a row of heavy, stocky boxes, I don't know what they contained. Zhu Wancheng said with a smile: "These boxes are all my Zhu family's belongings, gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and painting antiques, house deeds and silver tickets, account books and IOUs are all in them, as well as the sword." ”

As he spoke, he opened one of the boxes, which were full of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and he tossed aside the upper ones, and took out a long strip of silk wrapped in silk from the bottom of the box, and he untied the rope and unfolded the silk, revealing an ancient black-gray sword case. Zhu Wancheng said: "Please look at it". After opening the sword case, inside is a narrow black sheath long sword, the scabbard is made of crocodile skin and muddy iron, the sword body is half a foot longer than the ordinary sword, the width is half an inch narrower, there is no sword, the whole body is generally thick.

Zhu Wancheng took the sword out of the sword box and handed it to Zhu Yushi. Zhu Yushi felt the weight in his hand, stroked the scabbard and said: "Before it comes out of the sheath, I have already felt its sharpness, this sword has a strange shape, can it have a name?" Zhu Wancheng said: "This sword is called 'Crow Nine Swords', which is the proud work of Zhang Yajiu, a master of sword casting in the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Yushi pondered: "Why do I seem to have heard the name of this sword?" Zhu Wancheng smiled: "Mr. Xiangshan once made a poem "Crow Nine Swords" and praised this sword, which shows that this sword was famous in the Tang Dynasty, and Brother Fu should have listened to this poem. Zhu Yushi said: "It should be." As he spoke, he slowly drew out his long sword, the sword body was as blue as water, like a lake flooded with moonlight, and the faint sound of the dragon's groan was cold and murderous. Zhu Yushi danced a sword flower casually, the sword wind was whistling, the brilliance was shining, and he praised "Good sword!"

At the beginning of Luo Tianchu, Yan Weifeng was a master of using swords, and his wife He Yuelian was a master of the Zhengyi faction, and Zhu Yushi also had considerable attainments in swordsmanship, but he didn't have a chance to use it, and today he happened to try the sword with the thieves of the horse gang.
