The sixty-second episode of the brothers' wall is frightening the snow, and the naughty boy laughs and makes waves
Brothers work together to break gold, who hears the ancient theory in the ear?
Prince Wudan watched the samurai chopping melons and vegetables to kill the people in the siege, he was in a good mood, this was a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time, he didn't expect that this time the decisive move would be so smooth, and it would become a great achievement without the slightest obstacle. Seeing Wu Dan smiling at the tragic scene in front of him, Cheng Yi shuddered in his heart, there were his own brothers, the people closest to him, he still did not hesitate to kill him, and he was complacent!
At last, all that remained on the vast snowfield was the howl of the wind, and the terrifying faces of the five thousand knights stood in the wind and snow, and there were no living creatures on the ground that could move, and the snow quickly covered the red all over the ground. Wu Dan waved his hand, and the knights cheered in unison: "Woo!" The sound lasted for nine days, Cheng Yi was shocked by the spirit of the Hun knight, the fanatical fire in his chest was burning, and he couldn't help shouting: "Woo!"
Collecting the ownerless war horses and armor tents, Udan led the knights to return triumphantly. The war horse carefully walked around the dead men and dead horses on the ground. Udan's face flushed, his eyes glared brightly, his nostrils agitated sharply, and he had not yet calmed down his emotions. Suddenly, someone screamed, and everyone saw a withered and bloodless hand on the ground that had exposed the snow layer stretched out, and when Udan passed by, he grabbed Udan on the horse and tore Udan off his horse! All this happened so suddenly, Cheng Yi, Yu Luzhi and others were all masters, and they didn't have time to react, and they watched Udan being caught in the snow nest, and the two of them rolled in the snow and fought. But the crowd was helpless. That man turned out to be Prince Danyan! His face was covered in blood. It's terrifying. He grabbed Udan's throat with both hands, poured the little strength he had left into his hands with a full of resentment, and pressed it into Udan's body. He didn't expect Udan to be so despicable and sneak up on him, completely unaware of what he had done. He was riding a horse, anxious to return to the big tent of Shan Yuting to enjoy his comfortable life, lamb wine, and beautiful beauty. A gust of wind blew a puff of snow, and he just wanted to curse, "Damn my God!" when he realized that something was wrong, a sharp arrow had already reached the front door behind the snow! He didn't have time to think about it, he leaned back to avoid it, and just sat up, and it was another arrow, he didn't need to look at it, and he couldn't see the other party at all, but he also knew who shot it. Such a powerful and domineering arrow, there is only one person today. The one he knew was able to ejaculate. He could dodge the first arrow, but he could not dodge the second, and this arrow hit him in the face, and he fell under the horse, and he heard the sound of killing on all sides, and the screams of his men, the mournful screams of the horses, the wild laughter of his opponents, and the fierce wind of the howl was like a woman's gentle breath. He lost consciousness.
Udan is very confident in his archery skills, his three arrows are well-deserved on the grassland, no one can dodge or crack it, Dan Yan's skills are not weak, just to see who to compare. In Udan's eyes, he was still a child, although once his beard grew, there were many women around him. He was overconfident, and when he saw Dan Yan being hit by an arrow, he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he didn't come forward to verify it, and he didn't let people verify it. Unexpectedly, although Dan Yan was hit by an arrow in the face, he also calculated it, dodged, dodged, and did not hurt the vital point. He fell off his horse and nested in the slush. He didn't expect that Udan didn't check his life or death, but he was very confident that he would kill him with one arrow! Dan Yanxin, who was hiding in the snow nest, was dripping blood, and he wanted to wait for Udan's men and horses to leave, and then escape quietly. It's just that he couldn't bear Udan's complacency, and when Udan's familiar sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Udan's rude wheezing sound was clearly audible, he finally gave up the idea of forbearance, and stepped forward to sneak attack when Udan passed by the opportunity around him. It's just that he forgot that he was seriously injured after all, after all, most of his martial arts were learned from Wu Dan, Wu Dan was flustered at the beginning, and was overwhelmed by Dan Yan, and soon, he came back to his senses, turned over, and his fists and feet rained down on Dan Yan's body and head, Dan Yan quickly lost the ability to resist, his eyes lost his brilliance, blood flowed out of his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, and his breathing was weak. Everyone also came back to their senses and stepped forward to help Wu Dan, who broke free from everyone, pulled out his saber, and slashed down, Dan Yan's head rolled to the side, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in the snow nest all of a sudden, unable to get up!
The Yulu Command Brigade continued to move forward, Danyan attacked Wudan, and the two fought, which is a long story, but it is actually just a matter of a moment. The centaurs in front didn't know what was going on behind, and the centaurs in the back just saw that there was some chaos in front of them, and wanted to stop and take a look, but they were blown away.
Wu Dan finally stood up, picked up Dan Yan's head, and looked at the swollen human head, although he couldn't distinguish his eyebrows and eyes, but the ruthless and unfair atmosphere was still there. Udan thought for a moment, threw down his head, stepped on his horse, and everyone followed, and there was no cheerful atmosphere.
After a long time passed in the people and horses of Wudan, someone came out of the snow nest, dusted off the snow on his body, licked his lips, and when he came to Danyan's corpse, he looked at it for a while, picked up Danyan's head and put it into a cow's urine cell. Dan Yan's saber and saber had long since disappeared, and he groped around the corpse for a while, shook his head and stood up, and disappeared into the vast wind and snow.
Decheng returned to his camp with the men and horses and the booty, immediately pulled out the camp and returned to the Zuoxian Wang's department, and the rest was to wipe his ass, he could hide as far as he could. Prince Wudan quietly returned to his big tent with Cheng Yi, Yu Luzhi and others. He knew that the day of wind and snow had just begun.
Cheng Yi walked out of the prince's tent, just didn't know where to go, a person beckoned from afar, Cheng Yi passed, but he didn't expect him to pass, the man turned around and left, looking at the figure and walking posture, Cheng Yi was strange, followed the man in the snow and walked with money. At this time, the people hid in the tent to drink wine and bake the fire, and even if there were a few people outside, they looked for shelter from the wind and snow, but there was no one in the house. Cheng Yi followed the man from a distance to the front of a tabernacle, and the man bowed down into the tabernacle, and Cheng Yi was bold and followed into the tabernacle. Inside and outside are two shijie, steaming and full of voices. The man nodded to him next to a group of drinkers. Cheng Yi followed, but the man didn't leave again this time, beckoning the guy to come over. A man with a shiny face came over. He bowed down and said, "Uncle." How?"
"Find us a place. The voice turned out to be a woman. The guy led the two to a dim corner, a dilapidated head, rotten breath, Cheng Yi frowned, but the man sat down with a butt and smiled at Cheng Yi: "Your lord has forged it!"
Cheng Yi had to sit down, he already knew who the other party was at this time, it was actually the maid of Princess Miyer of Ligan. It seems to be called Milsam.
The man took off his hood, showed a flower-like face, looked at Cheng Yi with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, please meet here." β
Cheng Yi suddenly realized that she was a night walker who walked through the tent at night when she first arrived at Shan Yuting a few days ago, although she didn't see her appearance at that time, her figure and eyes were impressed, and she felt familiar when she walked outside. I just can't remember when I saw it, and now I'm sitting down across from me. I remembered. Cheng Yi smiled, knowing that the other party must have something to say, he was not in a hurry. The man sent a few sheep's feet, a bag of wine, and two horns for wine, and left. Sam poured the wine into the horn cup, handed Cheng Yi a glass, took a cup himself, raised his hand to signal, drank it in one gulp, Cheng Yi also drank it, neither of them spoke, one cup kept pouring, and the bag of wine quickly dried up. Sam smiled at Cheng Yi, her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, delicate, Cheng Yi's heart moved slightly, it turned out that Li Gan's beauty was not only a princess who looked like a fairy, but also a maid who was as beautiful as a flower, and her eyes and thoughts were just on one person's body, ignoring others. He smiled awkwardly at Sam, a red cloud rising across his face.
Sam didn't know what he was thinking, and beckoned for another bag of wine. Cheng Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that you are looking for someone to drink with you! But I can't drink anymore, I have a big brother, his drinking skills are not the first in the world, but also the second in the world! How about I find him to drink with you?"
Sam wrinkled his nose and snorted, "Who wants you to find someone! I can't drink anymore, many people want me to drink with me." She was a Li Gan woman, and her speech was a little confused, and she wanted to say, "A lot of people want to drink with me." But he said, "You want me to drink with you." "But the general meaning is the same.
Cheng Yi smiled, wiped the sweat on his face, he was not good at dealing with women, when he was a child, he followed his mother all day long, and his mother naturally took good care of him, and then he learned literature and martial arts, surrounded by boys, and there were no girls of the same age in the family; , intolerable, intolerable although he is the same age, but like a big sister, like his mother shushing him and asking for warmth, not like a playmate at all; Later, Yujian Chiying, the two are together, sometimes they are like open-minded friends, talking about everything; sometimes they are like strangers, wary of each other, afraid that the other party will hurt themselves, Cheng Yi has always been confused about what is going on with Chiying and himself. Does she take advantage of herself, or does she really like herself? He sometimes wanted to ask her, but he couldn't open his mouth. Red Eagle's death made him feel disillusioned for a while, and he regretted that he didn't ask her in time to clarify her thoughts. Later, when he was in a lonely mood, he took the heavenly Princess Miyer, and his soul naturally fell on her body, and he could no longer move away! His father, Udan and others gave him women, and he always felt bored and unable to keep his spirits. Those women spread his "uselessness" everywhere, and his father Cheng Tiexuan was very anxious, thinking that there was something wrong with him, and asked the camel to see a doctor and prescribe medicine for him. Wu Dan also recommended several doctors and took out the secret medicine he got from the Han Imperial Palace and gave him it. Cheng Yi couldn't cry or laugh, threw away all the medicines, and was angry and didn't want to go home.
Sam saw that he stopped talking, thought he was angry, and smiled: "You, big man, have lost your temper!"
I wanted to say "you still have a tantrum", but it became "a tantrum". Cheng Yi smiled, "It's not." I don't have a temper. By the way, what the hell are you looking for from me? It's not just a bar. β
"What's the matter? The eldest sister shouted that you don't want to drink? Okay, you can go! However, there is one person you may never see again!"
Cheng Yi was about to leave, Sam looked at him with a sneer, he sat down, picked up the wine bag and poured Sam a glass of wine, poured a glass himself, and said, "Come on, I'll toast you!" Sam smiled, "Someone really asked me to find you! I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Someone is secretly planning to disadvantage you Han Chinese! You must pay attention. Otherwise, you will lose your life. But it's too late. β
Cheng Yi was stunned, I don't know if what she said is true or not, but whether it is true or not, this is very important news, especially for their family, his father's Ziji Palace. He looked Sam in the eye and said, "Who is it?" Knowing that the other party would not tell him, he still didn't give up and wanted to ask. Sure enough, Sam shook his head. "I don't know. I really don't know. β
"So, who told me that it's okay, right?"
"Oh, no. When it's time to know, you'll know. The two of them finished the bag of wine, and Sam put on his hood, making it difficult to distinguish between male and female again. Cheng Yi shouted to the guy and counted the wine money. The guy nodded and smiled with a smile on his face, and sent them outside. Sam swaggered away, and Cheng Yi watched her disappear into the tent group, and was about to step forward to follow her. The fellow reappeared and said, "Lord Captain." Someone please!"
Cheng Yi looked at his shiny round face, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he couldn't see any other expression, and said, "Lead the way in front of your head." Then he went to another tabernacle, and opened the curtain and went in, and a man dressed as a man followed, and the old man withdrew. Cheng Yi felt that they were a bit bluffing, and pretended to be mysterious. This guy had a stiff waist, walking and sighing, as if there were too many unsatisfactory things, Cheng Yi listened to his sigh, and his mood became heavy for no reason. The man led him to a seat, where the two men were already sitting, and the wine and food in front of them were not stirred up in the slightest. The guy came to him and whispered, "Two masters, Lord Du Wei has arrived." β
The two hurriedly stood up and bowed to Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi hurriedly returned the salute, and one of them said: "Lord Duwei, don't be weird! It's very abrupt, I don't want the adult to come!" The implication was that Cheng Yi would not come.
Cheng Yi looked at the two of them, his face was very angry, he was suspicious, he didn't know who the other party was, and he secretly regretted that he shouldn't have come. The two stretched out their hands and asked Cheng Yi to sit on the upper seat, and the two sat down again after Cheng Yi sat down. One of them was in his thirties, stout and lean, and the other was in his forties, with fair complexions. Cheng Yi secretly wondered. After the two sat down, they kept persuading Cheng Yi to eat and drink, Cheng Yi waved his hand, saying that he had just eaten and drunk, where were the two willing to follow? Cheng Yi couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to reluctantly eat a few bites. He stopped and said, "You two don't know what's going on?" Please tell us, there is still something to do next, so you can't wait any longer." β
The two looked at each other, and the white-faced man said, "Under Sikong Wenzheng, this is Situ Nuoying." The two of us were ordered by the Han envoy to come to see the Captain. β
Cheng Yi was stunned, he was a little familiar with these two names, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them, "Han envoy?
Over the years, there have been several Han envoys to Shan Yuting, all of whom were detained by the Huns, and were not allowed to go back to the Han Court, these Han envoys and their entourage were extremely bored in Shan Yuting, and every day several generations were caught by the guards of the Commander's Department because of trouble, and they were swindled out of some money and goods, otherwise they would be beaten or taken to the residence of the Han envoy to be humiliated. Cheng Yi also caught them a few times after he came, Cheng Yi asked the guards to let them go, and the guards saw that Cheng Yi was not interested, and gradually ignored them. However, Cheng Yi heard that there were guards who caught someone and blackmailed money and goods in private, and he didn't have time to take care of it. I thought these two men were here for these things.
Situ Nuoying said: "Which Han envoy? There is only one Zhang Qian!"
Cheng Yi was stunned again: "Lord Zhang Qian? What's the matter? Oh, you two, I remember, you also followed Master Zhang Qian to the grassland! These two people are in the middle of the Han land, but they are very famous. The two of them saw that Cheng Yi remembered them, and they were a little proud, after all, no one knew about the two of them for many years, although the fame was no longer important to them, but how could the past years be easily forgotten?
Cheng Yi saluted the two, the three of them sat down again, and Cheng Yi asked: "Two seniors, where have you been all these years? I thought I would never see my predecessors again!"
Sikong Wenzheng took a sip of wine and said: "When we arrived on the grassland, our brothers stayed in Shan Yuting for a while, and when the adults and the heroes fought in Yanran Mountain, we had already left Shan Yuting with King Ding Ling, and we had no chance to participate in the grand event. β
This Sikong Wenzheng and Situ Nuoying are the disciples of Wei Juan, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and they have learned a full stomach of scriptures and war strategies, thinking that if the teacher becomes the prime minister, they can soar and flourish, and then show their arms in the court to govern the country and the country. Assist the Holy Lord. How can Prime Minister Wei Wan be a great Confucian. There is only the emperor in my heart. Determined to be a loyal minister and a famous minister, he offended the queen mother and was forced to commit suicide. For a time, everyone in Confucianism was in danger, and many people abandoned the study of poetry and books and turned to learning Taoism and practicing martial arts. Sikong Wenzheng and Situ Nuoying can't bear to leave the teacher and take care of the teacher's mother and the teacher's family. How many people are staring at the prime minister's family? One has a crooked head and a hanging eye, and because he has some distant relatives with Prime Minister Wei's wife, he has walked around the house a few times on weekdays, and he wants to do something with the prestige of the prime minister. How could the prime minister be entangled in a major event for a while, and he couldn't take care of so many relatives, and the two of them were angry in their hearts. Now that he saw that the prime minister had fallen, he took people to the prime minister's house to look for trouble. Sikong Wenzheng and Situ Nuoying originally looked down on such scoundrels, but now they see them bullying their benefactors. Angry in his heart, he stepped forward to block it. How could these people be stopped by two student disciples? There is no power to tie the chicken, and he is tilted his head three, and his hanging eyes can push and push to the ground, and a few people who fell into the well next to him saw it, and it was not a big deal to see the excitement, and he stepped forward with a burst of punches and kicks, and the two people who hit the mouth and nose were bleeding, and they were dizzy. Mrs. Wei couldn't be stopped, she was so angry that she sat in the hall and wept. These people beat people, took some things, and squeezed and shoved to go out. That Sikong Wen was young and vigorous, Situ Nuoying was hot-headed, grabbed the things around him casually, stepped forward to tilt his head, and his body was all at once, and the two of them tilted their heads and their bodies were bald, and they lost their breath. It's also the two of them who deserve to die, and Sikong Wenzheng and Situ Nuoying deserve to suffer, the two of them actually held the sword in their hands that they used to decorate the faΓ§ade on weekdays, and gave it to each of the two scoundrels. The two scoundrels didn't expect that the two of them would dare to move the guys, and they lost their guard and were taken by the two scholars. After the death of the person, the government had to take care of it and arrested the two. For a while, there was a sensation in the city, and many old people went to the court to ask for their lives. At this time, the Empress Dowager also regretted forcing Prime Minister Wei Juan to death, and felt indebted, implying that the minister was lenient on Wei Juan's disciples; At this time, it happened that the Han envoy Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Xiji Yueshi, and there was a shortage of manpower, so the two became the entourage of the Han envoy.
Zhang Qian also admires the two of them, how dare they look at each other as their entourage? After the two of them were imprisoned, the anger in their hearts did not decrease in the slightest, but became more vigorous. Not to mention that fame is also harmful, the two of them have a reputation in the world, they think that they are so great, on the way to the envoy, they are not right with the heroes of the Quartet, no one in their eyes, and they are domineering. After all, Zhang Qian is just an envoy who was born as a guard, and he doesn't know how to persuade these famous figures. The Han envoy was kidnapped by the Huns, and everyone had no restraints, each with their own ideas, the two of them and the high-rollers of the rivers and lakes of the three mountains and five mountains could not talk together, but they could talk to a few serious people such as Cheng Tiexuan and Mr. Men, and the group went to Shan Yuting together, that is, at that time, Cheng Yi heard their story and threw himself into the five bodies that they admired. Later, Cheng Yi was lost, and the two of them didn't know what happened in the future.
When they arrived at Shan Yuting, they thought about how to bring the Han envoy out of the Xiongnu, but the Xiongnu took care of it tightly and never had a chance. They are in Shan Yuting, in order to survive, this Sikong Wen is writing a good hand, Situ Nuoying is a good hand of carving, there are a few Xiongnu nobles, to Mu Zhonghua's civilization, see the two of them are polite, I heard that their craftsmanship is clever, please go to the house, teach children to write and carve flowers. The two of them did not expect that they would be able to do something to learn in order to make a living! The two of them were not able to do anything for three days in the house of a noble official in Shan Yuting, and they usually quarreled with others at the end of the day, or at the end of the day, they were invited to find another job. The two of them were angry in their hearts, and King Ding Ling came to the door.
King Ding Ling listened to Zhang Qian's discussion, saying how prosperous the Han court was and how prosperous the civilization was, and King Ding Ling was inexplicably envious and asked Zhang Qian to send someone to Ding Ling to help him educate the ignorance of the tribe. Zhang Qian thought of the two of them, knew their ambitions, and also knew their abilities, so he recommended the two to Ding Lingwang. King Ding Ling immediately found the two and invited them to his tent. These two people could not display their talents in Middle-earth, and when they arrived in the Xiongnu, no one appreciated them, and suddenly a person, and it was the king of a country, Corporal Lixian, came to invite! The two were overjoyed. The two suppressed the agitation in their hearts, pretended not to care, and talked to King Ding Ling about the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and the civilization of civilization, the two of them were different from Zhang Qian. Although Zhang Qian is an envoy, in the final analysis, he is only a martial artist in the imperial court, and he does not have much books and ink in his stomach. These two people are high apprentices taught by famous teachers. He who speaks and quotes scriptures. What Shiyun said about King Ding Ling and his subordinates were dumbfounded, and they couldn't imagine that there were such civilization classics in the world. After a conversation, King Ding Ling strengthened his heart to admire Chinese civilization and hired the two as Ding Ling's national teachers.
At the same time, there were three other people who were hired by King Ding Ling with them, one was Kong Jijin. One is Meng Pingtong, and the other is called Zeng Dayan. These people are famous after the family, but this famous family also has difficulties that outsiders don't know, their children and grandchildren have been taught by poetry and books since childhood, and every day they are exposed to the glory of the family, the glory of the predecessors, the tree has a thousand branches, there are always some branches that are not straight, and these three people are unfortunately those long crooked branches. Several people were always beaten at home because they didn't study well, and they were beaten a lot. The adults also gave up, and the children were beaten more. Nature has a different temperament. When the three of them saw each other, they became good friends and regarded the other two as confidants. The three of them called friends and wandered around, and when the family saw that they were already like this, they didn't bother to care anymore. These three people are like eagles without tails, and they don't go home for ten days and a half months. After the three of them messed around for a few years, they saw that the other children in the family were slowly coming out in front of people, and their hearts began to get anxious, and it was also appropriate to have something, when the prince was still the prince, he recruited talents from all over the world, and Nalu was a holy place for etiquette, and naturally many Shuoru were invited to Chang'an by the Anche Pulun ceremony. The three of them did not know that the chariot was the courtesy of the imperial court to the learned and virtuous people, and the three of them saw that the car was beautiful, and they came and went around the car. Adults thought they were curious, so they didn't care. The three of them saw that there was no one around, and the groom accidentally got into the car and started a fight in the car. The cart was pulled by a horse, and the horse only felt that someone was shaking behind him, thinking that he was letting himself run! The three of them only felt that the carriage was like a cloud, and their bodies were quite beautiful, but they didn't know that they had already caused a catastrophe.
No one ran away from the carriage, and everyone came out to see what was going on, and the carriage had already run all the way down the street, and the pedestrians on the street saw a few horses pulling a carriage like crazy, and there were a few children in the carriage, all of whom were screaming again and again. It was not until the carriage ran to the city gate that the officers patrolling the city stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse, and then stopped. The three children in the car, whose faces were pale with fright and covered in cold sweat, had already been dizzy for twelve chapters. Look at the carriage again, it's almost falling apart!
The government did not dare to conceal it, so they reported the matter of the three people all the way to Chang'an, and the emperor was furious, this is the crime of deceiving the king! Although there was no punishment for the three families, the three families were disgraced and took their children back to be strictly guarded. These children are also famous, and they have become synonymous with unproductiveness.
I heard that Zhang Qian was going to send an envoy to the Dayue clan, and several adults discussed, these people, don't stay in front of you and get angry, just find someone to let them go out, don't ask them to make contributions, just ask them to go through the experience, just don't make trouble. Although their mothers were reluctant to cry and plead, they just couldn't change it. How could Dou Ying and the grub husband be willing to ask for them? Just seeing that they begged each other bitterly, they took pity on their unfortunate family, and they reluctantly took them with such children and grandchildren. Zhang Qian didn't know the details, thinking that they were famous and adding glory to their team, and he was overjoyed. These people heard that their families said that they were sent to make envoys to practice, and they thought that they were made envoys of the Han Court, so they rushed to Chang'an one by one. The result is a big disappointment, but it is to be someone else's retinue. Several people were depressed, but they were watched closely by their families, so they had to follow the Han envoy to Saiwai, but because of this, they were separated from the care of their families, and no one in the team dared to show them a look, not even the Han envoy Zhang Qian. A few people were happy at this time, free and easy, neither controlled by anyone, nor did they have to read classics and memorize poems every day, and they were completely relaxed. Zhang Qian originally thought that their family background must be full of poetry and books, and they learned the world in their chests, how do you know how many times I talked to them, but a few people were very ignorant, I don't know what to do, at first I thought they were also guilty, and I was timid, but later I found out that it was not like that at all, these few are freaks, wonderful, celebrities are not fake, but they are three bastards who are hard shells! The mood of the three of them was light, the three of them felt that Zhang Qian was not interesting enough, disrespected them, and disagreed with the Han envoy being intercepted by the Huns, and felt that Zhang Qian had lost people, if it was our brother, it would not be like this. Zhang Qian told the family history of several people in front of King Ding Ling, but King Ding Ling knew that Confucius was a great Confucian in China, and he was ecstatic, so he had to ask for these people.
Ding Ling, the prince Mu Huafeng, hired Han Jiaxiong with a lot of money, Qilu has many heroes, and he is proud of the heroes without a sword! (To be continued......
