"I never thought of me as a swordsman. ”

Li Ran replied like this, behind him was Jianshan Jianyi, a woman who became Jianshan Jianyi in her thirties, her sword was very fast, fast with three points of grace, and she seemed to feel the gaze of the woman behind her, Li Ranran added another sentence behind this.

"At least I don't feel like a swordsman now, I'm just someone who lives for a certain belief. ”

"What do your beliefs matter to you?" she asked.

"Very important, you know that Li Ranran was already a dead man, just like those dry bones on your Sword Mountain, originally Li Ranran's body should also be covered with corpse fruits, but Li Ranran survived and picked up the sword, but he didn't pick up the sword to become a swordsman, he just wanted to kill someone in his life. ”

"You can't kill him right now. ”

"Yes, I know I can't kill him right now. ”

The swordsman from the South China Sea walked forward, and he didn't look back.

"But you should also know that as long as a person has faith, nothing can be done, I am younger than him, he will grow old one day, the most powerful weapon in the world, the most powerful means, are no match for the time that will eventually pass. ”

Li suddenly left, a hurried glance, and left when the people of Jiangxia didn't know who this white-clothed swordsman was, Sima Yun said that Li suddenly would be famous in the world in less than five years, Zhang Mingyue originally had the heart to talk to this swordsman who had just come out of the rivers and lakes to kill the sword armor of Jianshan with a sword, but he really didn't have a chance, because the conditions offered by the two men opposite really made them unable to refuse.

"I know that you will definitely not refuse, because in this world except for me and Zhuge Meteor Brothers, no one will give you such conditions, what I have done in this life is nothing more than this, I want to join the army, and take all the brothers of my Fish Dragon Gang to join the army, Zhuge Meteor wants to enter the court as an official, he wants to be the princess's official, we are all Chu people, everything we do is just for the sake of the Great Chu, I don't want the Central Plains Three Kingdoms to be removed from Western Chu forever in the near future, even if it seems that only my Western Chu is the weakest among the three kingdoms. ”

The mountain hunter is much more talkative than the last time they met, and his words are aggressive, and he doesn't give people room to turn around, and then he looks at Zhuge Meteor has not been salty or light, but if he has the heart, he can see that most of his eyes are on Sima Yun, because he knows that Sima Yun is the most important person among the three.

"I know Sima Yun you like to let others owe you favors, if you contribute to me today, I Zhuge Meteor also owe you a favor, and will do my best to promote what you have to do, and you should know that you can lack anyone, but you can't lack my strength, but there is an ugly saying I have to say ahead, I can do whatever you do, but you can't let my life hang by a thread, I know what I mean, and I know you will definitely agree, although we are not the same way, but now see, our purpose is the same at present。 ”

Zhuge Meteor and Sima Yun touched a glass of wine, in fact, Sima Yun didn't move the wine glass on the table, he was thinking, he gritted his teeth, and finally picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with Zhuge Meteor.

"But before that, I want a man to die, he has to die. ”

"As long as it doesn't kill me and the mountain eagle, anyone can die. ”

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

Pleasant.

The two wine glasses collided, and the two smiled heartily, picked up the wine glasses and drank them all.

The dark clouds were thrown away, except for the mud on the streets, as if nothing had happened not so long ago, and Zhuge Meteor and the Hunter Eagle did not go back with them, because they had to do something.

When they returned to the inn, the old man and the princess had already put on their clean clothes again, and the princess frowned, and she changed into men's clothes, but a royal pigeon stopped in front of the window after a dozen breaths.

"It's coming. ”

Sima Yun took off the letter on the pigeon's lap and handed it to the princess, who turned cold, but finally opened the letter, which did not have many words, and burned it with an oil lamp after reading it.

"Let's go. ”

Two faint words, as if all the strength has been exhausted.

She was saying to the three guards, and she was also saying to the ethereal shadow hidden in the middle of nowhere, not including the old man and others.

The inn has prepared the carriage and horses as Zhuge Meteor said, the princess went downstairs, and only Sima Yun went downstairs to see her off.

"I cry when I feel uncomfortable, I have also experienced this kind of thing, and I have the right to say this kind of thing. ”

Sima Yun sighed slightly.

"These are fates, I have already pointed out to the princess many times in the open and secret, and the words of luck, although illusory, have to believe it. ”

"I won't cry, because it's not too painful for my father and queen mother. ”

Princess Zhaoyang closed her eyes slightly, she took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Uncle Ning is already on the way to pick me up, this time I will return to Beijing safely, you stay in Jiangxia to continue the next tasks, how to do it is all up to you, I believe you will not let me down, the martial arts conference will be held on time, that's all I have to say." ”

Princess Zhaoyang got up and got into the carriage, but was stopped by Sima Yun.

"Do you need to bring a pot of wine, although wine is not the best healing medicine in the world, but I have to admit that wine is indeed something that can relieve pain. ”

"No need. ”

The princess, known as the strange woman of Xichu Shuang, lifted the curtain of the carriage door and took one last look at Sima Yun.

"Xichu is such a big country, but it is not something that can be eaten by drinking, Sima Yun, I believe in you, the only person I can rely on now is you besides Uncle Ning, don't let me down. ”

The carriage escorted by the three guards set off at night and rushed back to Bianjing City overnight, until the princess left, Sima Yun still did not move for a long time.

"The princess is strong. ”

Zhang Mingyue slowly walked behind Sima Yun.

"If I were her, I would have cried, but unfortunately I don't even know who my father and mother are now. ”

"Maybe you'll cry, maybe you won't. ”

Sima Yun turned around and patted Zhang Mingyue on the shoulder.

"There are probably two ways to express emotions in this world, one is to cry bitterly and hate that we can't go to the Yellow Spring together, and the other is that the cold frost breaks my teeth and swallows it in my stomach, even if it is painful, it will not be revealed. ”

"And which one are you?"

Zhang Mingyue stopped Sima Yun's footsteps going upstairs like Sima Yun stopped the princess.

"It doesn't matter what kind of person I am, what matters is that there are still things to do. ”

He went upstairs and saw Yang Youqian, Liu Yuyu, and Qi Sect eldest lady He Qingxiu were silent, even if the princess burned the letter that was only a few words before parting, but they could still see it clearly, Liu Yuyu hadn't read much, but she could recognize those words.

His Majesty the Emperor died, and the Queen followed.

Living at the bottom of the world, Yang Youqian and Liu Yuyu don't know how much turmoil the departure of an emperor will bring, they only know that the taste of losing their parents will definitely not be too pleasant, speaking from their hearts, they are afraid that they themselves have already cried with tears, but the princess has not shed a single tear, and the people who are often affectionate in the world are not people who are sad and sad, but those who bury all the pain in their hearts without saying a word.

He Qingxiu didn't go to Zhang Mingyue for the first time, because she probably knew that she really shouldn't care about personal grievances at this time, but Sima Yun was not a person who even had to look at the weather to kill people.

He looked at Yang Youqian and said.

"I know you want to kill someone, because that person made your father have to join the army and die on the battlefield, so that your mother and daughter had to leave their hometown and take the pension to Bianjing City to settle down, I give you this opportunity now, I don't know who that person is, I haven't even met in person, but I know that all the gambling stalls in Jiangxia were opened by him, and I also know that he is the brother of the mountain hunter, but even so, I am still willing to fulfill you to let you kill him, and ......"

"I won't let you promise me anything in the future, I just want you to die for the princess when she is in danger one day, can you do it?"

"Yes. ”

The twenty-eight woman, who was just gloomy, immediately looked bright.

"As long as you let me kill him, I am willing to die for the princess. ”

"Deal. ”

Sima Yun smiled lightly.

Everyone didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but they only saw Sima Yun taking Yang Youqian out of the door, but the kung fu twenty-eight woman who had been in kung fu for an hour came back with a pale face and covered in blood.

"I told you a long time ago that you should practice more, you haven't even killed a pig, how can you kill people? Jiangxia's matter is over, the day after tomorrow I'm afraid we will set off again, the next road may not be too easy to walk, the emperor's death in Xichu should not be made public for the time being, and it will not be made public until the princess really takes charge of all the power in Xichu, otherwise the whole country will definitely be shaken, so I want to ask now, Miss He, do you still want to join us?"

"Yes, why not. ”

Although the eldest lady of the Qi Sect, who had a "deep hatred like the sea" with Zhang Mingyue, was talking to Sima Yun, she completely looked at Zhang Mingyue.

"Miss Ben said that she swore to kill Zhang Mingyue. ”

"Even if it's a goal that can never be accomplished?"

Sima Yun seemed to be smiling, but He Qingxiu was still bright-eyed.

"I'm sure I'll be able to kill him one day. ”

"Hopefully one day. ”

Sima Yun looked at the starry sky where the dark clouds had dispersed.

"But killing someone is easier said than done, but it's not that simple, for example, maybe after a long time this hatred will become something else. ”

"That would only be a deeper hatred. ”

"Oh, maybe, who can say what will happen in the future. ”

——

It didn't take long for Jiang Shui to be killed by seven top contemporary martial arts masters to spread all over the streets and alleys, and everyone knew that there was a one-armed little old man who was not good-looking and borrowed a thousand swords and returned a thousand broken swords, which has become a topic of conversation among the people after tea and dinner, which made the old man very annoyed, because the big and small swordsmen in Jiangxia City are beginning to search for him, the one-armed little old man who glimpsed at him, the old man has never been out of the inn for half a step from yesterday to this afternoon, even if he eats, he is sent by the shopkeeper to gently slam the door and then brought in by Zhang Mingyue。

"Stinky boy, if you don't want to do so nothing, you can go out for a walk, tomorrow we will leave Jiangxia, if there are places that have not been, go and see, such as those painters upstairs in Jiangxia, the old man pondered that their craftsmanship is not bad, but unfortunately the old man is old, otherwise he will definitely leave a picture scroll." ”

The one-armed little old man was lying on the bed with one hand on the back of his head, and he said with a smell of wine, at that time Zhang Mingyue was lying on the table boredly taking out the Buddhist saint who had been swept away by the young monk in Jiuhua Mountain and watched it carefully, this relic pattern is extremely non-standardized, but there is a faint sense of naturalness, Sima Yun didn't know where he went, and estimated that he should have taken the nerd to Zhuge Meteor Taishou Mansion, and several women should have gone out shopping together.

Zhang Mingyue put away the relics, and he said on a whim.

"Old man, don't say it, you reminded me when you said this, it's too boring for us to come to Jiangxia and leave nothing behind, why don't we go to Jiangxia Building and let the painter on the second floor paint a portrait for us, I haven't seen the old man when he was young, and I can't even leave a little ...... that can be used to remember." ”

Speaking of the word remembrance, Zhang Mingyue suddenly stopped, and said that he had said the wrong thing, and then looked at the one-armed little old man on the bed, but he didn't care at all, and the old man smiled.

"How can the old man not know the little thought in your kid's heart? It's no big deal, the old man is already old, and he will never escape the destiny of heaven in the future, as for what opens the door of heaven and soars to the old man has never thought about it, the gods seem to be happy, but they may not be more comfortable than mortals, the portrait is not necessary, the old man is half buried in the soil and what kind of portrait to paint, if you have a conscience to bring a few pots of good wine in front of the old man's grave during the New Year's holidays in the future, you don't want anything else. ”

"How can it be done, the stinky boy is right, we can't go home empty-handed when we come to Jiangxia, this portrait is a good idea. ”

At the same time, Sima Yun suddenly returned and pushed the door in.

"Old man, let's go, the three of us will paint a picture together, and it's not anywhere else, it's in Jiangxia Tower, where you can have a panoramic view of Jiangxia. ”

The one-armed little old man was reluctant to go, but he was pulled up by Sima Yun and Zhang Mingyue together, so he put on the hat that Sima Yun found and went out.

Sima Yun was slightly apologetic for this.

"Old man, this is also out of desperation, after all, you borrowed a thousand swords last night and have become a celebrity in this Jiangxia, if not, I'm afraid we won't even be able to cross the Jiangxia Bridge, alas, in the end, I blame me for being poor now, if there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets on my body at any time, it will not be like this. ”

"Shut up, you kid, you actually said that the wind and cold words came to the old man. ”

The old man kicked Sima Yun's ass with an angry kick on the head, and the evil Jiao that sank to the bottom of the river yesterday has no trace at all, and the four swords are hanging quietly as always, but there are still a lot of people on the bridge to watch the excitement, and after the young painter was invited to paint a vivid portrait of the three on the second floor, the rice paper was put away by Zhang Mingyue.

The old man brought the hat again, fortunately, there are not many Jianghu guests on the second floor today, and he is not very interested in the one-armed little old man, but he just feels that the three people in front of him have a feeling of being in the same house.

As soon as I stepped down the first floor, I heard a lot of noise coming from the riverside.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhang Mingyue patted a middle-aged man on the shoulder.

"Who knows, it seems that the merchants who came and went had a quarrel with the fishermen on the river, and a fight broke out. ”

"Fighting?"

Zhang Mingyue frowned, he was not interested in these things, but when he saw the familiar fishing boat on the river, which was not too big but was bigger than most fishing boats, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Grandpa Liu......"
