Zhang Qing slowly withdrew the long sword into the scabbard at his waist, shook his head and smiled at Liu Jian, but did not say much.

"Senior brother, but what troubles have you encountered?" Liu Jian saw that he smiled with a little worry, so he asked. Looking at Zhang Qing again, he was in a high-spirited year, but his sideburns were a little white, which made people a little puzzled. Zhang Qing originally had long hair in a crown, and the roots of the hair were white at this time, and two strands would fall white after a while.

"There are so many things to worry about, and my brother also wants to learn from you to have fun here all day long, regardless of anything else. Zhang Qing smiled and floated off the roof, followed by Liu Jian. The two brothers entered the flower hall where Si picked up guests one after another, and Si was concentrating on stroking the piano, and the music was melodious.

"Senior brother, I'm not having fun. Liu Jian shook his head and smiled, the two of them didn't need to be polite, they sat down directly at a low table, smelled the fragrance and brought the refreshments, and stood aside to serve. “

"That's right, you became an official and became a dignified emperor, and you also gave our master a long face. I met Master in Shuzhong, and he asked me to bring you two words. ”

"Master......" Liu Jian couldn't help but be silent, the old guy who sold a jade forging recipe to himself for a dozen taels of silver was actually a little vague in his memory and couldn't remember his appearance. But this old man has the grace of knowing himself and the virtue of being a teacher, so he is naturally grateful to let people teach him martial arts for so many years. "He has something to say. ”

Zhang Qing took a glass of sake and drank it all, with an endless aftertaste. "Our master hates others to say that he is old, so don't mention the three words of the old man. He asked me to say the first sentence to you, when you enter the court, you need to care about the people, which is the righteousness of chivalry. ”

"I understand. Liu Jian couldn't help but be silent, he said everything he could do and say in a few days, in this kind of feudal dynasty, how the emperor is really not in his hands. "The second sentence?"

"Just let me test your strength, there is something that Master asked us to do together. Zhang Qing sighed, this time when he came back, this senior brother was obviously a lot more sentimental. "Senior brother, do you know the Yueling Lu family?"

"Jianghu Wang clan, most of the children in the clan are disciples of large factions, and their family heirlooms are unpredictable. Liu Jian said it casually, and the information that had just appeared to be in the Jianghu Month. "What's the matter, but it's because some time ago someone stole the Lu family's cheats?"

"Yes, Master once owed the Lu family a favor, and this time he just wanted us to go and pay it back. Zhang Qing untied the long sword at his waist and handed it to Liu Jian, "This long sword is forged from meteorite iron in the Western Regions, which can make it strong and not easy to break. ”

"Senior brother, aren't you going?"

"Naturally, I'll go too, but looking at the blade you didn't take advantage of, kendo is always difficult to achieve. Zhang Qing said with a smile, "There is no need to excuse myself, I still have a few good swords to use, and this is the treasure I seized by killing the horse bandits, so I don't have to be polite with my senior brother." ”

"Senior Brother Xie. Liu Jian took the long sword with joy, the sheath was unsheathed, and the sword body that entered the water was smooth and shining, and the warning signs of being made by this sword were constantly in the fight with Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing smiled, turned around and took out a long sword from a sword box behind him and put it on his waist.

"You can also follow my example and take it off every time you fall asleep, which will help you gather your sword intent. ”

"Yes. Liu Jian took the jade pendant on his waist, and carved a dragon and a phoenix on the palm-sized purple jade, but it was said that Princess Zhiyang of Pingyang saw that he liked it and gave it to him, and handed it to Zhang Qing. "Senior brother has a sword on the left, and he should also bring something on the right. This is a thing in the palace, and if something happens to the official, it can also have some effect. ”

Zhang Qing took it, shook his head and smiled and put the jade on his side, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, quietly savoring the pastries on the table.

As soon as the sound of the piano turned, the melody was low and softly weeping, as if telling how.

Liu Jian placed the long sword on the right side, although it was inconvenient to draw the sword, but the right hand of the sword could always hold the hilt. Zhang Qing once taught him the method of drawing a sword with his right hand, which was more powerful when facing the enemy. For example, the person surnamed Dugu in the dream, the skill of drawing the sword has been superb, so that a sword stab can not be resisted.

"Senior brother, what is on your mind?" Observing Zhang Qing's complexion, Liu Jian saw something strange, especially the two handfuls of white hair. "Affectionate hatred since ancient times, don't let it go, the junior brother is very experienced in this area. ”

"You kid," Zhang Qing was dumbfounded, and sighed again, "Brother Wei once met a woman in Shuzhong, although I haven't seen her appearance, but I always feel that she is a fairy in the world." ”

"Huh?" Liu Jian raised his eyebrows and gestured to Cassi, who chuckled and made the piano sound tactful and brisk. Liu Jian said with a smile: "Fairies are not easy to come by, senior brother should grasp it." ”

"As a brother and not a twisted person, he naturally understands these truths. Senior brother, you once said that my fair lady and gentleman are good, and my senior brother said that he was cheeky enough to go up and ask the name of the beautiful woman. But he was ridiculed by several arrogant people, and unsheathed his brother's sword, and Xiao Shi punished and taught those shameless people a lesson. But unexpectedly......"

"You hurt the fairy brother?"

"Definitely. ”

"Husband?" Liu Jian gasped, he fell in love with a married man, uh, a married woman, but it was a taboo in martial arts. There is a saying that the wife of a friend cannot be bullied, and there is another sentence that everyone is a friend when they go out. The four seas are brothers, and Zhang Qing can be regarded as annoying and taboo.

Zhang Qing glared at Liu Jian: "What nonsense, if she has her sideburns erected, how can I entangle her?"

"What the hell is wrong with that? Senior brother, you have gray hair. ”

"Alas, in fact, it's about the same, for her brother hurt the person she admires. You said that the man was just a lame kung fu, surrounded by a few retainers who were not bad at martial arts, like some kind of dignitary. Zhang Qing shook his head and sighed again and again, "She is so cold and jade, she is definitely not a person who tends to be inflammatory, and I can also see the deep affection between her eyebrows, it is really sad and tight." ”

"So sad and white-headed?" Liu Jian interjected, and suddenly felt that his senior brother was so unproductive, and he was ashamed to be with him!

"I walked with them for a few days, but I was persuaded by her several times, and in desperation, I happened to meet the master, so I turned around and called you. Zhang Qing held his chin with sorrowful eyes, and his face was full of melancholy for a while.

Seeing this, Liu Jian smiled secretly in his heart, patted his chest and said: "Senior brother, don't be anxious, junior brother will definitely contribute to you in this matter, where are they now?"

When they heard about the Lu family, they also went to the coast of the East China Sea to join in the fun. ”

"That's right, I want to see how beautiful that woman is, and how she doesn't know what to do!" Liu Jian stood up with his sword, "Wen Xiang, go prepare a few fast horses, Wen Ya, go and help me pack up and get some silver taels." ”

"Yes!" the two women took the order.

As soon as the sound of the piano stopped, he said softly: "Why did you just come back and go out again a few days." ”

"I don't dare to disobey my brother's order, do you want my sister to join in the fun?"

"I won't go, you let Yuanyuan take care of such a big garden by herself, and I will stay here to accompany her. You remember to bring the smell of incense, although their martial arts are not very strong, but they can also take care of your daily life. He shook his head, got up and owed to Zhang Qing, who was an elder.

"You guys are waiting here now, I'll go and get some medicine for you, be more careful outside. ”

"Don't worry, girl," Zhang Qing also had tea and dinner at the beginning, but after all, he was a momentary obsession, and it was far worse than thinking about it at this time. But he still spoke with some respect, "Senior brother's current martial arts, ordinary martial arts people can't touch the corners of his clothes, and those famous veterans hold their own identities, and they won't make it difficult for him." ”

So, my brother can walk sideways in the martial arts now?

Liu Jian was happy in his heart, then shook his head, holding the hilt of the sword for a while, he was finally able to officially break into the rivers and lakes.

"Senior brother, you talk to me," Zhang Qing pulled Liu Jian to sit down, "You are really handy with women, senior brother is far from reaching, you should ask for advice." ”

"Senior brother is polite, this pickled girl, cough, how to deal with a woman, there are too many ways. Liu Jian smiled, "Senior sister-in-law, let's call it so, with the help of junior and younger brothers, it will definitely be captured." Since the person that my sister-in-law likes is not good at martial arts, he must be outstanding in literature. ”

"Hmph, that man is chanting your poems all over, praising you as the head of the world and the literati, if not, how can I cut off his hair so simply. ”

"Didn't you say you were my senior brother?"

"Naturally," Zhang Qing sighed again, "It's okay not to say it, but when they say it, they laugh at me for being self-conscious, even she thinks so." ”

Liu Jian twisted his non-existent beard, and smiled proudly: "As you said, that woman should be from a famous family, since she likes literature, my junior brother will copy a book of poems for you, and take out a few random poems and take them down." ”

"Really?"

"Senior brother, don't worry!" (To be continued.) )
