"Northern Wei dog?" Zhang Mingyue hesitated for a moment and sneered, in this world, I have only heard that the Northern Wei Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and I have never heard anyone say the word Northern Wei dog, if this matter happens to be heard by the great prince Xuanyuan Hongtu, what should it be?

Zhang Mingyue stood up and stared straight at the man who said the word dog in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

If I remember correctly, only some people in the world say that the Northern Wei Dynasty is a great overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, if even the Northern Wei Dynasty can only be called a dog, then what are you in Xichu? You must know that to say that the Northern Wei Dynasty is a dog is to scold yourself for not even being as good as a dog, and Brother Tai even scolds your ancestors, what face do you have to face your ancestors and ancestors?"

Zhang Mingyue didn't have much sense of belonging to the Northern Wei Dynasty, but as the saying goes, even if a person messes around in his own house on weekdays, he thinks about everything for his own family when he walks out of this house.

The man didn't expect that among the three outsiders, it was the young man in front of him who stood up, and he was a little older than Zhang Mingyue? Although there were all brothers in the rivers and lakes, there was no reason for a little kid to call himself a brother, so he was furious.

"Boy, do you know what you're talking about? You have to figure out that this is not your Northern Wei Dynasty, and it is not your turn to be presumptuous here, even if Lao Tzu kills you today, I am afraid that there will be no officers and soldiers to take care of it. ”

"The master naturally knows what he is talking about, and he also knows that this place is not my Northern Wei Dynasty, as for this brother, you said to kill me, the master doesn't think so, the ancients said that it is very happy to have friends from afar, how come you Xichu has become a friend from afar to be the enemy? Could it be that you Xichu people can't measure this point? Or are you from the hatred of the weak to the strong? If so, the brother can let go, and the master wants to see how fierce the folk customs of Western Chu are. ”

After Zhang Mingyue finished speaking, he immediately pulled out the long knife in his hand and plunged it into the blue brick of this inn, and when he got the knife of Saint Luo Zhiqiu, he had two knives, but the broken one had replaced the position of the back, and the treasure knife was hidden in the box, how could it be easily shown in front of people? The knife that had just been bought and had caused a lot of blood was constantly shaking on the bluestone slab, the cold light was cold, and all the diners in the restaurant had no interest in eating, even the storyteller quickly packed up the fine work and left in a hurry, and even the half pot of turbid wine that had not been drunk was forgotten to take away, the same situation in the past This old man has not never met, after all, it is difficult to guarantee that this Fengyue place will not be a person who fights without a word, but today is completely different, with three people to all the diners in this restaurant, it is really not very good. When Zhang Mingyue drew the knife, the down-and-out ranger was already startled, and hurriedly wanted to pull out the long knife and send it back to the scabbard, and then come forward to say a few good words, then the matter will have to be passed, the big deal is to lose a smile, anyway, this kind of situation is not uncommon, but the long knife that looks simple and unpretentious seems to be firmly nailed to move, that is, it has failed to pull it out with all the strength of the tiger, and the face is ugly at the moment, just because all the diners in this restaurant have a look of contempt, that is a kind of look at the other, he Gu Yue's family background is not good since he was a child, and he was treated coldly, and when he was a child, he couldn't even get a little candy from his friends, in the final analysis, it's just a word, poor, if it weren't for the untimely death of his father, he could have found a school to study, and if he was better, he could get a fame, no matter how bad he was, he could mix a mouthful of food, how could he end up in the rivers and lakes? In the end, the swordsman who wants to be the first in the world is not because of a vanity, he doesn't want to be looked down upon anymore, he doesn't want to be looked down upon everywhere, and he doesn't want to go to his father's grave in the future to incense without money, he can't know a few words, and he can't afford to pay the school tuition, the only thing he can think of is to become a generation of heroes, so he sold his ancestral house and scraped together enough money to go on the road, because in this world, it is said that the men in the rivers and lakes should be born in the rivers and lakes, and the men in the rivers and lakes should die in the rivers and lakes.

The down-and-out ranger couldn't help but remember that when he was carrying dozens of taels of silver and looking for someone to apprentice everywhere with the dream of learning martial arts, he was deceived by all the dozens of taels of silver, and he was really hungry and went to a small noodle restaurant, hoping to have a bowl of noodles on credit with the boss, how did he expect the boss to be impatient to send it away with the word beggar, that is, a kind of look at the other, he still remembers it vividly, in order to survive, he had to do the trick of cheating, he Guyue is innocent in nature, and he really doesn't want to speculate on the people of the rivers and lakes with the worst malice, but after so many years, I have understood a truth, the rivers and lakes also have to talk about identity, without identity, others don't look at your fartAt first, I met the old man and the three were nothing more than bullying a foreigner, so he started to borrow money, but even he didn't know whether the silver he had borrowed over the years could be repaid, and then he thought that his life was going to die in the hands of the robber, but he was able to be rescued by the old man and the three without remembering the grievances, at that time he Gu Yue knew that there were really people in the rivers and lakes who were worthy of the four words of the man in the rivers and lakes, and when he saw the old man's magic means of slashing the sword with a sword, he was convinced that the old man was the famous teacher he wanted to find, so he took the three of him to Bianjing, and found Fengyuelou just to satisfy his little vanity, after all, there is no small problem in this world？

The down-and-out ranger saw that he really couldn't pull out the knife and gave up, he poured a full glass of wine with himself and drank it all, the wine was strong and intimidating, he Gu Yue had been bullied and was used to being bullied, and he was afraid of being bullied, how could he not have no shadow? It was a miracle to be able to live for so many years without being killed.

The down-and-out ranger thought silently in his heart, the old man is such a powerful person, he must not like cowardly people, Lao Tzu will go out today, the big deal is to be beaten, anyway, Lao Tzu has not been beaten, as long as he is beaten to death, everything still has a chance, isn't it? The old man can't watch himself being beaten to death, so he slammed the table, used up the courage that he had never had in the past eighteen or nineteen years, and said loudly with all the humiliation he had suffered for so many years.

"What do you see? It's funny, isn't it? Isn't it mocking Lao Tzu for not even pulling out this knife? Do you fucking know that Lao Tzu is saving you? I don't even know how you died. ”

The group of diners was stunned, Zhang Mingyue saw that the ranger's knuckles were white, even Sima Yun and the old man were a little surprised when they put down their chopsticks.

The down-and-out ranger followed.

"What if others are from the Northern Wei Dynasty? The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty are not human beings anymore? The people of the Northern Wei Dynasty at least know how to save a person who has nothing to do with themselves, but look at you people dressed in human skin, don't you think that people are helpless, have no fathers and mothers to bully? ”

The down-and-out ranger squatted on the ground with red eyes and sobbed in a low voice, such a damn bite, Lao Tzu, it really made the group of diners angry, and at that moment a rice bowl was thrown towards Gu Yue, that rice bowl was impartial, and it didn't even move except for moving, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was a lot of energy hidden on the rice bowl, and if this blow was hit, it would definitely kill someone.

The diner who threw the rice bowl sneered.

"You kid has no rules, I have to teach you a lesson, so that you know what to say and what you can't. ”

It's just that the sneer didn't last long, and I saw the breezy scholar in the green shirt on the side make a gesture and lightly threw a chopstick at the bowl that flew over, and the bowl suddenly changed direction and threw it straight towards the diner.

"I also want your Excellency to understand that there are some things to do and some things to be done. ”

Sima Yun said lightly.

How could the diner not understand the meaning of this hand, in front of so many people who didn't want to lose face, naturally he couldn't hit himself in the face by that rice bowl.

"Compete with me for strength, Your Excellency is afraid that you have chosen the wrong person, and I have never lost to qi refiner. ”

The diner slapped the table at the same time, and one or twenty chopsticks rose up and went towards the rice bowl with one of the whistling, and the rest were all secretly killing and all headed towards Sima Yun.

Sima Yun was not in a hurry, his right hand was like a flower to stop all the food chopsticks, but at the same time, but when he heard the sound of the exchange of dishes and chopsticks, the diner was complacent with frost, how did he not know that those chopsticks would definitely not be able to help the scholar in the green shirt, so he left a hand in advance, the food chopsticks that went towards the rice bowl were hidden means, Sima Yun carelessly would not find that the food chopsticks would go through the rice bowl, but this sneer once again did not last half a breath before he was in a hurry, only to see that the bowl of chopsticks touched, not only did not penetrate the rice bowl, but was also the bowl of chopsticks at the same time towards the door, caught off guard and pushed away the food bowl with one hand, but did not spare the strength to intercept the rice bowl, I was hit by the rice bowl straight to the door, the dishes and chopsticks shattered, the residue entered the eyes, and suddenly the pain was severe and the blood flowed like a note and shouted in my eyes.

"I took your eyes first, which is considered a punishment for what you just did, and I will not want you first, because your life is not worth a few dollars in my eyes. ”

Sima Yun stood up and left the silver two and one ingots.

"The wine and food of this Fengyue Building are very good, but the people of this Fengyue Building really can't talk about the word Fengyue, with all due respect, you can't just talk about Fengyue, saying that you are the bedbugs of the thatched pit have lifted you, and the bedbugs drink in the same place, there is really nothing worse than this in the world. ”

Zhang Mingyue put away the knife, thinking that there would be some bloodshed, but unexpectedly, Sima Yun stopped the scene as soon as he made a move, and he no longer had the idea of making a move, so he immediately helped the down-and-out ranger.

"It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, there is nothing that can't be passed, if your father and mother see you like this, they will be very sad. ”

Zhang Mingyue still has one sentence that has not been spoken, that is, you guys at least have a father, but I don't even know where my father and mother are, or perhaps, I may also have parents who died young like you.

The old man stood up, and before he had taken half a step, he saw all the diners in the tavern rise up.

"When I hurt someone in Xichu, I want to leave?

"I didn't say that clearly enough, or are you actually deaf?"

Sima Yun smiled softly, the capital is that a strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake, and he really has to do this river dragon today.

"Saying that you are bed bugs, saying that you are bed bugs are all lifting you up, what's the matter?

"Look for death. ”

There are also many good martial arts practitioners in that group of diners, and when they heard Sima Yun say so much, they hated the same enemy, and at that moment, there were less than twenty or thirty people who showed their weapons, and Sima Yun was still calm and light.

"This is the tradition of Xichu? If you can't beat it, you will attack it in groups? I really have a lot of knowledge today, I want to come, who dares not to let me come? I want to go, you dare to stop? If you want to try the taste of blindness, you can try it, but there is one thing I want you to understand, that is, you are really not qualified for me to shoot. The four of them swaggered out of Fengyun Building like this, and no one dared to stop them, how could that down-and-out ranger ever be so arrogant? He has always been looked down upon, and it is the first time today that he only feels that all the grievances in his heart have been swept away, and he wants to stop talking along the way, and he is entangled in every way, if it weren't for Zhang Mingyue to say what you want to say, I'm afraid he won't be able to say it.

The down-and-out ranger said.

"Thank you Brother Sima for today's help, but I'm poor and white, and I don't have any skills, so I really have nothing to repay Brother Sima, so I have to feel shameless. ”

Zhang Mingyue only wanted to laugh when she heard this, this Gu Yue was afraid that she really misunderstood Sima Yun when she was in that border cottage, Sima Yun wanted to break the dawn to do something for him in the future, it was based on the power of that cottage, there are so many robbers, if you develop for a few more years in the future, it will definitely be a big help, and you will be able to afford you an orphan who lives in the rivers and lakes?

Could it be that it is for your daydream of being the number one swordsman in the world? That is really funny, Zhang Mingyue said with a smile.

"The old fox didn't help you to repay you, don't take it so seriously, he will come to the rescue of irrelevant strangers today. ”

When the down-and-out ranger heard this, he felt a little better, but he suddenly heard the green-shirted scholar who walked in front whispered.

"Where in the world is there a meal for nothing? I saved you naturally to repay you, otherwise how could I have attracted so many enemies for myself for no reason? I am not a fool. ”

"Huh?"

The down-and-out ranger was a little surprised.

"But Brother Sima, you know ...... me"

"I don't want you to repay now. ”

Sima Yun also smiled like the young man with the knife.

"I want you to do something for me after you become the number one swordsman in the world in the future. ”

"Don't be funny, Brother Sima, you don't know that it's nothing more than my Spring and Autumn dream, how can the number one swordsman in the world just do what he says? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingyue really almost fell on her heels, and then looked at the old man with a smile but not a smile expression, and felt that it was really funny, what is it that the swordsman who became an old man in this life is the ancestral tomb is smoking? Could it be that you really think that the old man is a stall is everywhere? Who in the entire Northern Wei Dynasty does not know the word Spring and Autumn Sword God? It is a position that stands in a nine-story tower and picks stars at will, but it is really unashamed. It's just that he didn't bother to debunk it, but he was interested in Sima Yun's words, and only listened to Sima Yun's words.

"The Spring and Autumn Dream may also come true, I just talked to you about this condition first, if one day you really become a famous swordsman in the world, you will do something for me, and I will come to you at that time." ”

The down-and-out ranger smiled.

"Just say to Brother Sima, don't say that it is one, even ten Lao Tzu also agreed, the world's number one swordsman, think about it, it's fucking excited, so that Lao Tzu will not be teased by those villagers who look down on people when he returns to his hometown in the future. ”

"Really? Your dream is pretty simple. ”

The green-shirted scholar with his back to the down-and-out ranger said this, and muttered in a voice that he could only hear.

"It's a pity that Sima Yun doesn't want you to make ten pieces, just one is enough. ”

......

Now that they have arrived in the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is not too far from Princess Zhaoyang in the palace, and the three of them did not have a letter to greet Zhaoyang when they left the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they are confident that Xuanyuan Hongye should not do these trivial things, so Princess Zhaoyang should not know that the three of them have arrived, and they want to enter the palace directly, but it is unlikely to think about it, after all, what kind of place is the palace, how can they say that they can enter it? Not to mention that the three of them are not familiar with the place of life when they first arrive, and they will not expect Gu Yue, a poor person who is bullied by his hometown.

"I have to find a way to enter the palace. ”

Four people do not live in the inn, just randomly found a more remote house to live, the man in the house has been sacrificed for the country in the battlefield, only orphan girls and widows are left in the family, on weekdays are by doing some sewing and needlework to support the family, now five taels of silver to stay overnight is welcome, the woman is twenty-eight years old, although the birth is not much beautiful but there is also the unique simplicity of a peasant woman, see the living people are a little shy, although it is four men to live, it is inevitable to provoke people to gossip, but fortunately here is Bianjing, the capital is very secure, there will be no one to be a traitor, and I put my heart down。

This woman has a very nice name, Yang Youqian, Zhang Mingyue still didn't forget to praise the little woman with this name when she asked for the woman's name, and the woman who provoked her was even more embarrassed, put down the teacup and left, but the down-and-out ranger saw the beautiful woman like a person who hadn't eaten for seven or eight days saw the delicacies of the mountains and seas, if it weren't for Zhang Mingyue forcibly blocking this guy behind him, I'm afraid that he Gu Yue would really come up and pull the eighteenth generation ancestors of this peasant woman out.

At this moment, Gu Yue was already in charge of going out to inquire about the news, and the three of them sat in the room for a long time and tasted the pot of cinnamon tea that was not very good, which was taken from the young leaves of the Xichu laurel tree and hyped up the standard configuration of the people of Pingming, the taste was bitter and astringent, and the three of them did not dislike it, the old man wanted to drink, and the mother and daughter had no wine at home, so they gave up, after all, how did the three of them not know that the master of the family trusted only three strangers from afar, not to mention after drinking. The pot of cinnamon tea was also washed lightly repeatedly, without bitterness and astringency, but it felt as uninteresting as drinking white water.

"If you want to ask anything, just ask. ”

After a long time, it was Sima Yun who opened his mouth first, the old man drank tea and plucked his ears and nose from time to time, and he didn't care about the two of them, Zhang Mingyue had doubts, and when he saw Sima Yun say this, he had no choice but to say it.

"You let Gu Yue do something for you when he becomes the number one swordsman in the world in the future, and you have so much confidence in him? Also, when you saved me, do you want me to do something for you?"

"You've been depressed for a long time just for this?"

Sima Yun laughed heartily, which made Zhang Mingyue more and more depressed.

"It's just because what you've been doing these days is ridiculous. ”

"Haha, you don't have to think too much, I said that he will become the number one swordsman in the world is nothing more than a possibility, if he really becomes the number one swordsman in the world to owe me a favor, wouldn't it be happy, as for you, haven't you done enough for the two of us in the past few years? ”

After Sima Yun finished saying this, it only took five or six breaths to see Gu Yue panting and pushing the door in.

"It's over, it's over, it's a big trouble. ”

"Don't worry, you say slowly. ”

Sima Yun pushed a cup of cinnamon tea that had tasted the same as chewing wax to quench Gu Yue's thirst, but when he saw that the down-and-out ranger couldn't care about drinking water at all, he said directly.

"We blinded that guy in Fengyue Tower, it turns out that guy is a bit backstage in the city. ”

"That's natural, how can you go to Fengyue Tower and be chic on occasions like Fengyue Tower if you don't have any skills. ”

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help but interject, but was slapped by Gu Yue.

"Can you please not interrupt when I speak. ”

Zhang Mingyue noticed that Sima Yun and the old man couldn't help but laugh at the same time, and suddenly felt uncomfortable, just because Gu Yue had broken his leg for the three of them, it was not easy to make trouble, and comforted himself that those who established great things in Gu Zhi must have patience, he motioned to Gu Yue to continue.

"That guy has sent people everywhere in the city to find our whereabouts, and it is even more exaggerated because of this matter, some people actually derive some people from the Northern Wei Dynasty masters to provoke in Western Chu, and laugh at me that there are no rivers and lakes in Western Chu, just because this sentence is full of wind and rain in the city, Lao Tzu has never seen this group of turtle grandsons and bastards so single-minded, which is not intrigue on weekdays with their own wishful thinking, so I said that the trouble is big, I believe that they will find here in the near future, and they can't hide when the time comes, although the old man is powerful, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, no, single fists are difficult to beat, how is this good？”

Gu Yue noticed that the old man was not displeased when he heard the word single fist before he put his heart down, and the heart is a master, and he is not shocked to see the tide of the blue sea.

"What is good? The soldiers are coming to block the water and cover the earth, there is really nothing to worry about. ”

Sima Yun said abruptly, this is contrary to his previous worries, how Zhang Mingyue didn't know Sima Yun's resourceful means, he was not sure at the moment.

"You want to throw bricks and lead the way?"

"yes, I can't think of a better way than that. ”

Sima Yunwu shook his head. The down-and-out ranger was stunned when he heard this.

"What do you want to do?"

"You'll know what you want to do in a moment. ”

Sima Yun smiled weirdly, and the laughing Gu Yue's hairs stood on end.

"The old man can just have a good rest here, you don't need the old man to make a move for such a trivial matter, you don't have to go with Gu Yue, you don't have to go, I'll go by myself this time." ”

After he finished speaking, he went out, leaving Gu Yue, who was more and more confused, and Zhang Mingyue was unhappy when he saw that the face of the old man who was said by Gu Yue to never frown with a single fist was finally ugly.

"This old fox is quite good at being a man, and you don't need to make a move on trivial things, the implication is that life and death depend on you, old man, this is a pick, old man, you must not be so pretending that it has not happened. ”

Ignore Zhang Mingyue's "plan to sow discord." ”

The one-armed little old man held his ankle in his right hand that was constantly shaking on his left leg, and he didn't have a good airway.

"The old man followed you two boys, it's the stupidest thing the old man has ever done in his life. You talk slowly, the old man went to see if the girl was willing to learn the old man's sword. ”

When the one-armed little old man Shi Shiran walked out of the door, the down-and-out ranger was incredulous.

"I heard me right, people like the old man actually want to let people learn swords in person? I knew that I was looking for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will be the number one swordsman in the world in the future, right? If I accept the world's number one swordsman as an apprentice, I will help the old man become famous in the future. ”

Zhang Mingyue smiled and patted Gu Yue's shoulder.

"Then you think wrong, the old man wants to teach people the sword, it all depends on the old man himself, if he is unwilling, it is useless for you to beg him, if he is willing, even if you don't want to learn him, you have to change the way to teach you, so if you want to learn the sword from the old man, first find a way to make the old man happy. ”

The down-and-out ranger was thoughtful, and suddenly thought of something happy and his eyes lit up.

"Lao Zhang, can you lend Lao Tzu a few taels of silver first, and I will pay you back a few hundred taels in the future. ”

"Don't, if you want to invite the old man to drink, you have to find your own way, so be sincere, don't you think it's so reasonable?"

"It seems to make some sense to what you said, okay, isn't it just silver, Lao Tzu has a way to get it. ”

Gu Yue swore an oath.

"Don't be cheated or deceived. ”

Zhang Mingyue specially advised.

"Isn't this fucking bullshit. ”

The down-and-out ranger rewarded Zhang Mingyue with a big roll of his eyes and hurried out of the door, there was a well in the courtyard, the farmer's twenty-eight women were struggling to lift water, the old sword god was sitting by the well and chattering to himself, Gu Yue didn't care what the two of them said and went out of the courtyard in the name of the old man's apprentice.

The old man only glanced at it lightly, and then then talked to the twenty-eight woman about the sword.

"I said girl, the old man didn't lie to you, the old man's sword world doesn't know how many people want to learn from the old man and didn't teach them, now it's cheap for you, you just need to make a pot of cinnamon tea with the old man as a worshipping ceremony. ”

The peasant woman named Yang Youqian struggled to carry a bucket of water, wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and said politely.

"Grandpa, Qian'er doesn't want to learn swords, and she doesn't want to be a famous female swordsman in the world, she just wants to be by my mother's side for the rest of her life, so grandpa, you can only find other people to learn your skills, Qian'er really doesn't want to learn this. ”

With that, the woman brought the water into the kitchen, and it wasn't long before a little smoke was lit.

"Old man, it looks like this is a failure?"

Zhang Mingyue quietly came to the old sword god's side.

"I really don't understand the current female baby, the old man begged her to learn the sword and didn't learn, isn't it just a pot of cinnamon tea, as for such a small family?"

The one-armed little old man didn't have a good airway.

"Then Princess Zhaoyang wanted to learn from the old man, why didn't you pass on your skills to others? ”

Zhang Mingyue couldn't help asking.

"Princess Zhaoyang is also known as the Western Chu Shuangju, and there is no need to say much about her martial arts talent, wouldn't it be better to teach the princess sword than this girl?"

"Stinky boy, what do you know, although the roots of Zhaoyang's female baby are good, she has inherited a hundred schools since she was a child, and it is disorganized, and it is not suitable for the old man's sword, and she can't be the heir of the old man, and you don't understand it, the old man went in and talked to her mother and son about the benefits of learning swords. ”

The old sword god walked towards the cooking smoke with the sword box behind his back with one hand, and Zhang Mingyue couldn't see the old man's words with his back to him at this time.

He asked the woman to learn the sword, probably because the woman was too much like a person.

A man who has passed away.

The one-armed little old man took a deep breath, how could he have expected to go in and say that he was so bitter that he almost slashed Bianjing City with a sword, but he couldn't let the woman named Yang Youqian succeed in learning swords, but he came back with a disgraced face, and at this time Sima Yun had quietly returned.

"Done?"

"What can't I do with my own hands?"

Sima Yun poured himself a sip of tea that had cooled for a long time.

"I'm afraid that it won't be long before everyone in the capital knows that the masters of the Northern Wei Dynasty came to Xichu to challenge and defeat the thirty-two first-grade qi refiners, this boo should be enough to spread to the imperial city, I hope to attract the attention of Princess Zhaoyang, hey, where did that kid go." ”

"He said he wanted to learn swords from the old man, and I asked him to find a way to get some apprenticeship. ”

Zhang Mingyue said with a smile.

"You're a good kid, but don't have any accidents. ”

After talking, it is already the willows on the moon, Yang Youqian and her mother have prepared dinner, although it is just an ordinary peasant dish, but they also eat with relish, but it is the first time that the old man has eaten tastelessly, always staring at other girls, and the girls who look at them are embarrassed to eat, if it weren't for Zhang Mingyue taking the opportunity to harmonize the atmosphere, I'm afraid the old man would really have to lose the adult.

After dinner, it was Yang Youqian who did this thing, but before she finished cleaning up, she heard a hurried knock on the door, and the sound was not a single person, the three of them looked at each other and were silent, Yang's mother ran over quickly to open the door, and as soon as the door of the courtyard was opened, five or six people poured in.

"You two have been in arrears for half a year's rent, and it's time to pay it back today. ”

These five or six people looked like servants, and one of them was a relatively wealthy slave who said to Mother Yang.

Mother Yang hurriedly nodded yes, and let Yang Youqian take out the five taels of silver that were counted as the cost of accommodation for the three people.

The servant took three or four breaths on the face of the twenty-eight peasant woman and took five taels of silver.

"That's all, it's not enough, it should be eight taels. ”

"That's all for the time being, Steward Li, you can give a few more days, how about our mother and son send it over by ourselves in a few days?"

Mother Yang said with some embarrassment.

"That's not good, you also know the recent situation in our Li Mansion, it's not that we don't want to sympathize with you, it's just that we sympathize with you, who of you has sympathized with our young master? These three taels of silver either you take it out now, or let your daughter enter my Li Mansion as a maid to offset the three taels of silver, and you can still get some income every month, I have already considered for your orphans and widows." ”

It's just that the servant didn't plan to stop there, who knew that Mother Yang immediately changed her face when she heard this, and said loudly, Na Steward Li didn't look good.

"Then pay it back. ”

Where did her mother and son get the money? Bitterly begging to no avail, she couldn't help crying anxiously, and the servant insisted on taking Yang Youqian away despite Yang's mother's objections, but at this time, she was slapped in the face by a roast goose leg that suddenly flew in from the door.

"Yo, robbing the people's daughters in broad daylight, is there any royal law in this damn Bianjing City?"

The down-and-out ranger walked in the door with a pot of wine and two roast goose legs, but this Gu Yue was very different from when he went out before, his nose was blue and his face was swollen and he was limping, he groped out two taels of five or six coins of broken silver from his arms, and it took him a long time to make up three taels of silver.

"It's not just the fucking money, get out of here, don't bully other people's mothers and orphans and widows, there are still people with a sense of justice like Lao Tzu in this world. ”

The housekeeper's face was ugly, but after all, he still didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he only glared at Gu Yue coldly.

"I'll keep in mind today's things first, this roast goose leg will be returned by you. ”

After Steward Li left, the down-and-out ranger picked up the roast goose leg that had been soiled and got rid of the dust on it.

"It's okay, it's still edible. ”

Without waiting for the Yang family to thank the two of them, the down-and-out ranger limped into the room with a pot of wine and roast goose legs, and put two things on the table.

"Old man, as the saying goes, you have to get incense to enter the temple, I Gu Yue has no other ability, I can only get these two things, if the old man does not dislike it, he will be accepted by Gu Yue's heart, and when he learns the sword of the old man, Gu Yue will listen to the old man for the rest of his life, from now on, you are my master, my reborn parents. ”

Zhang Mingyue and Sima Yun were stunned, and even the one-armed little old man was surprised.

"Where did you get this money? If the old man remembers correctly, the gold and silver you brought out of the desert would have been lost in the desert tornado when the cave was filled. ”

"Isn't that right? ”

The down-and-out ranger scratched his head embarrassedly.

"But don't worry, old man, I didn't steal or rob this money, I earned it by myself. ”

The down-and-out ranger didn't care about the presence of the Yang family, so he directly unbuttoned his clothes and exposed a large bruised chest.

"My Gu Yue doesn't have any skills, but I've been used to being beaten since I was a child, and I have trained a body of copper skin and iron bones, so I relied on this to be someone's punching bag in exchange for a few taels of silver. ”

Zhang Mingyue frowned, and Sima Yun glanced at him with a smile.

"You're going to be a big kid now. ”

He took out the medicine that Zhang Mingyue used to use externally when he was injured when he was doing business from his arms and handed it to Zhang Mingyue, and Zhang Mingyue knew what it meant, so he handed the medicine bottle to the hands of the down-and-out ranger.

"Wipe it well. ”

Zhang Mingyue didn't expect that she would make this guy so interested in a casual sentence, and she suddenly felt really embarrassed.

"There's one thing I don't want to lie to you, and that's the old man......"

"It's not impossible to ask the old man to teach you the sword. ”

The one-armed little old man opened the wine jar and took a sip of wine under the gaze of Zhang Mingyue and Sima Yun.

"If you kid can find a way to let this girl learn swords from the old man, the old man doesn't mind passing you a trick or two by the way. ”

......

The high-walled courtyard of the Xichu Palace, three steps and one sentry and five steps and a post, it is difficult to say that it is a person, it is almost impossible for flies to fly out, it is located in the high hanging Shengshi Jiangshan Palace to the north of the place where it is known as the residence of the princess of Zhaoyang, Chaoyang Palace, if it is not a prince and nobleman on weekdays, there are few men in and out, except for the chief eunuch in this palace, this Zhaoyang Palace is full of thousands of purples and thousands of reds, there are countless pavilions and pavilions, the palace maids who serve the princess come and go on weekdays, but there is a place where no one can enter without special permission, the name here is Shangwu, it is the moon and the stars are sparse, there are purple bamboo ginseng and peony in the garden, there are murmuring water and rockery fountains, Princess Chaoyang is holding a sword, the sword is the women's sword brought down from Emei that day, the beauty under the moon, the sword shadow is heavy, but the dance sword to the halfway that the women's sword will be uncontrolled and go straight to the pavilion, there is a green shirt Confucian on the pavilion, about forty or fifty years old, a green silk is bound with a hairband at will, one hand is a chess piece, it is a leisurely game, that is just two fingers of the left hand to clamp the whistling women's sword.

"The princess has been restless since she came back from the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the same is true for sword practice. ”

The woman known as the double of West Chu came to the pavilion in a huff.

"Mr. Ning, this palace doesn't know why I haven't been able to calm down lately, why don't you teach me how to practice these two swords. ”

"If the princess can't calm down, she can play a game with the minister. ”

"I don't want this palace. ”

Princess Zhaoyang dragged her chin with both hands and propped up on the pavilion and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

"The father and the emperor chose relatives for the palace, and let the palace preside over the hundred flowers banquet, there are still three or five days ahead, Mr. should know that Zhaoyang is not much interested in these upcoming so-called talents, and the palace also hates these fake guys, it is not as good as the two nasty guys that the palace met in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which really makes the palace very distressed. ”

"The princess came back from the Northern Wei Dynasty and mentioned the two guys once a day, the minister was very curious about what kind of person could make the princess so attentive, but the princess did not want to say a thing or two to the minister, and the minister was not good to ask again, but if the princess was bored, the minister here has a message that might be able to relieve the boredom with the princess. ”

The green-shirted Confucian laughed.

"Oh, sir, what's the news?"

When Princess Chaoyang heard this, she became interested, which made the Confucian scholar who was named Xichu Yining smile bitterly, and sure enough, her precious apprentice was lively and went up.

"The minister heard that I came to Bianjing with a few masters of the Northern Wei Dynasty, threatening that I have no rivers and lakes in Western Chu, and defeated more than 30 qi refiners of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this matter is already known to everyone in the city, if the princess is interested, she can also go up and try it. ”

The green-shirted Confucian left the last son and walked out of the martial courtyard, and did not forget to leave a sentence before leaving.

"The princess can rest assured that it is unreasonable for the three of them to make such a big fanfare, maybe it is to attract someone's attention, or maybe they are friends of the princess. ”

The blue-shirted Confucian man came out of Zhaoyang Palace, and it was already the middle of the moon, and before he had gone far, he saw a gorgeously dressed woman coming towards Zhaoyang Palace with seven or eight maids. When Lu met the green-shirted Confucian lady, the noble lady said lightly.

"Mr. is really attentive, ten years like a day to pass on Zhaoyang's martial arts, his piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's just that Zhaoyang has grown up now and has his own ideas, so Mr. should please respect himself. ”

The blue-shirted Confucian smiled.

"Then thank you for the queen's reminder, the minister knows what to do, but although Zhaoyang has grown up, his temperament is still innocent, and he still needs to be cultivated. ”

"Even if it is cultivated, it should be cultivated by her father, Mr. doesn't have to love the house and Wu so much, some things are in the past. ”
