The West Chu Hundred Flowers Banquet will last for three days, this is a well-known thing in Bianjing City, the first day on the rivers and lakes, the second day on the West Chu rivers and mountains, the third day is a hundred flowers blooming, eight immortals across the sea to show their magical powers.

It's just that because of what happened on the first day, Sima Yun is not suitable to show up again, and there is a national pillar Xue Pingchuan challenging the one-armed little old man, so these two things come together, and it is actually Xue Pingchuan who challenges the one-armed little old man, which is more shocking than the Hundred Flowers Banquet. It was also thanks to Princess Zhaoyang that suppressed this matter so that the Hundred Flowers Banquet could continue, otherwise I am afraid that no one will have the heart to do it next.

Xue Pingchuan's challenge to the one-armed little old man is scheduled for June 15, and it is only four or five days away from today, the Spring and Autumn Sword God Li Wenzhen, this is really little known in the rivers and lakes after the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention that this is the Western Chu thousands of miles away from the Northern Wei Dynasty? Or there are world-leading masters like Ning Zhiyuan who know, but more people are wondering where this Spring and Autumn Sword God came from? The speaker has no intention of listening, and I don't know where the gossip came from that the four people who made a big fuss in Bianjing City are living in the middle garden of Mr. Guozhuning Bianjing City, and the people who came to visit the door these days ago are endless, saying that they are visiting, but everyone understands what is going on, and they don't care about cynicism, such as self-indulgence, etc., even if Sima Yun sold a favor before, the Xichu Jianghu Cao Mang is also quite unsightly to the old man, but finally hindering Sima Yun's face will not be like the Confucian protégé of Bianjing City, who came to the door, and then Zhang Mingyue simply closed the door, In addition to the princess and Ning Zhiyuan, the ranger Gu Yue was quite angry, just because the four of them were already celebrities in Bianjing City, as long as they stepped out of Ning Zhiyuan's mansion, a large group of so-called Western Chu patriots would rise up and attack it, so let alone go to see the red jade girl in the Rouge Building, I am afraid that even the gate of this Ning Mansion may not be able to step out. Zhang Mingyue is accustomed to this, if she doesn't go out, she won't go out, she just stays quietly in this mansion to practice knives, she doesn't worry about eating or drinking, where can she find such a good thing in the world?

On this day, the sun is shining, and tomorrow is the period of June 15, Princess Zhaoyang came to visit again, this time it was just one person, and there was no national pillar Ning Zhiyuan together.

"Tomorrow is the day of the competition, and Zhaoyang's heart is really up and down. The princess said.

"The old man is a distinguished guest of Zhaoyang, Uncle Xue is half of Zhaoyang's master, and he is also the pillar of my Western Chu Kingdom, no matter which side loses Zhaoyang in this battle, it will not be too comfortable. ”

"Could it be that the princess thinks that there is a reason to regret this war? General Xue and the old man are not people who change their orders every day, saying that the war will be fought, not to mention that the martial arts are all the way, and the master is respected, General Xue just wants to go further in a hundred feet, this is human nature, presumably the princess has already said it to General Xue once before she said this. Sima Yun said with a smile

"That's right, Bengong did tell Uncle Xue about it, but it's a pity that my uncle is really stubborn and can't listen to what he says. "Princess Zhaoyang is not angry that Sima Yundao broke this secret that is not a secret, she went to ask the national scholar Ning Zhiyuan earlier, the old man worships the sword mountain and enters the realm of heaven and man with a knife is a major event that stirs the whole world, but the national pillar Xue Pingchuan is only in the realm of immortality, and the old man is a big realm away, so to challenge the old man who has re-entered the realm of heaven and man is nothing more than asking for his own death, who knows that his uncle who is called a senior brother by his mother does not think so, saying that the general has the blessing of national fortune, which is comparable to the master of the realm of heaven and man, she Chu Zhaoyang is the same as his father, he does not know what is the national fortune, let alone the ethereal qi of all things, I only know that the old man and General Xue must not have a single person, both of them are the most outstanding characters of today, a lifetime of fame, and must not be folded in the writing of Bianjing City.

"If the general is the kind of person the princess thinks, I'm afraid he won't be so valued by His Majesty, and this battle is unavoidable. ”

"That being the case, then Zhaoyang has nothing to say. It was only a few dozen breaths from entering the mansion to saying this, and the princess left the mansion after giving a salute to the old man.

"It's bothering Zhaoyang's girl. ”

The old sword god said lightly.

"How sure is the old man in this battle?"

Sima Yun asked with a smile, but the one-armed little old man did not answer this question directly, but just turned around and left a back and asked Sima Yun with a smile.

"How sure do you want the old man to be?"

The old man didn't leave to review his sword in the big battle, but he went to the room to take a nap at noon, and the ranger went to rest when he was bored, and only Zhang Mingyue and Sima Yun were left in the courtyard.

Zhang Mingyue only felt that this scene was extremely familiar, just because the two of them had almost been like this for the past three years, and now they are full of emotion when they review it again.

"Now there are only you and me left, our two brothers are not outsiders, you can tell me if you think Xue Pingchuan can win this battle. ”

Zhang Mingyue said.

"Naturally, you can't win, what kind of character is the old man? I don't think there is anyone in this world who can withstand the old man's sword, even Wang Changsheng, who is known as the number one in the world, is probably enough. ”

"You have so much confidence in the old man?"

"Could it be that you think I should have confidence in General Xue?"

"It's a good thing to have confidence, but you should also know that the old man is not invincible in the world, okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about some happiness, let's talk about Xue Pingchuan. This man who has never bent his knees in his life is actually not a lifetime, and when facing some people, Xue Pingchuan will still bend his knees, such as his flower-like wife. ”

......

The General's Mansion is located in the northwest of Bianjing City, different from Ning Zhiyuan, Xue Pingchuan has never liked flowers and plants, although he reads, he is not like Ning Zhiyuan, who has a collection of thousands of books at home, even if the general's desk desk is only two or three books on weekdays, and these two or three books are also written by Mr. Ning of the current dynasty, Xue Pingchuan was introduced to the emperor by Ning Zhiyuan, it is no secret, in the end, Ning Zhiyuan is also half of Xue Pingchuan's leader.

The general carried a silver gun and a high-headed horse into the general's mansion, even the subordinates in the general's mansion were selected to be powerful people, which was inseparable from Xue Pingchuan as a military general, and the construction specifications of the general's mansion were also magnificent, and the plaque was written by Ning Zhiyuan himself. It can be seen that Xue Pingchuan's status in today's Western Chu.

As soon as the entrance to the house is the school field, the school field has all kinds of weapons with knives, guns, axes and halberds, Xue Pingchuan is proficient in all kinds of martial arts, but he only loves guns, and he only loves the silver gun behind him that accompanied him back then.

He didn't practice guns in the school field, and went straight to the backyard, where the wife of the general of the Western Chu Protector lived, and the maids in the house bowed down to salute when they saw him coming, Xue Pingchuan was unmoved, not because of arrogance, but because the people in the house had long been accustomed to his style.

"I haven't been back for almost half a year. ”

Xue Pingchuan thought silently in his heart, but before he could push open the door that had been blocked out of the door for an unknown number of times, he was coldly stopped by a woman in the room.

"Did I tell you to come in?"

Xue Pingchuan smiled dumbly.

"It's just that I haven't seen my wife for a long time, and I miss it a little, so it's out of proportion. ”

This unsmiling and upright general rarely squeezed out a smile, but the smile was extremely bitter when you looked at it.

People say that a husband and wife are a hundred days a day, but how come they don't have any grace at all when they get here? Even if someone says that the two of them are enemies, I am afraid that no one will doubt it.

In the end, I owe her.

Xue Pingchuan finally withdrew his right hand, which was only an inch away from the door, although he knew that the door was not locked, and if he wanted to, he could push it open without much effort.

Xue Pingchuan turned around on the spot.

"On June 15, I will have a contest with others, and it is very likely that I will not be able to come back from this battle, and at that time, you can find someone to remarry without waiting for me. ”

The general, who was called the national pillar by today's Western Chu, muttered softly.

"If a person dies, he should be forgiven even if he has committed a great mistake in his life. ”

......

Xue Pingchuan went to the school yard out of the backyard, she didn't want to see herself, then this general's mansion was afraid that there was no other place to go except this school field, but around the corner met the housekeeper Wang Mingde, seeing that this middle-aged man who was different from the ordinary housekeeper was a little thin and was holding a cup of soup, Xue Pingchuan took the initiative to get out of the way, he didn't need to look to know who this soup was for, except for his own lady who was the same township as the housekeeper, how could the housekeeper of the general's mansion do what this person should do?

Xue Pingchuan gave way, and the housekeeper Wang Mingde stopped, he was only forty years old to become the butler of the general's mansion that everyone wanted to enter, and his own ability was only one or two percent at most, if it wasn't for the nobleman's support, how could he sit in this hot position? As for this nobleman, who else could there be besides the general's wife who was in the same township as him?

"The general has returned, but he has gone to see Madame?"

The butler asked respectfully.

"Looked. ”

Xue Pingchuan nodded lightly.

"Madame still doesn't want to see the general?"

"That's right. ”

Xue Pingchuan is still lukewarm.

"Forgive the villain for his courage to say it, Madame is nothing more than because the knot in her heart can't be opened in the past, and the general will always be fine if she gives Mrs. some more time, after all, it is a great blessing for a woman in the world to marry a general. ”

"Maybe, you're busy. ”

Xue Pingchuan left this sentence and left the housekeeper and went to the school field, the school has weapons, and only when practicing martial arts can he not let himself be distracted.

It's just that I haven't gone far before I meet a maid in the mansion again, this maid Xue Pingchuan also knows, it has been ten years since the general's mansion was built, and this maid has been in the general's mansion for ten years, from a little girl to now slim.

"General. ”

The maid saluted Xue Pingchuan.

"Lu'er, are you also going to Madame?"

"That's right, General, Madame wants me to go and take a walk out of the house. ”

"If that is the case, then go quickly. ”

Xue Pingchuan smiled, even if he laughed, he was a little stiff as always. How does the maid named Lu'er not know how hard the general has worked to guard the frontier for many years, Xichu has now been peaceful and prosperous, in addition to Mr. Guo Shi Ning's guidance, it is the man in front of him who has the greatest credit, but the maid can see it clearly, Xue Pingchuan doesn't know when the temples have a lot of silver threads.

Ten years in a flick of a finger, when her parents died and sold her body to bury her relatives, countless people on the streets of the city pointed fingers, if it weren't for the man in front of her who happened to pass by and buried her parents with Yinliang, and brought her a weak woman into the general's mansion, since then she has food and clothing, so that she is not afraid of freezing when she is cold, and she is not afraid of having nowhere to shade when it is hot, I am afraid that she Lu'er will have to walk on the road that is ridiculed as a prostitute by the world.

The ancients said that revenge must be avenged, but when she Lu'er came here, it should be said that there is kindness and retribution, if it weren't for the general, how could he Lu'er live until now?

This maid, who has been in the general's mansion for ten years, said immediately.

"General, there are some things that Lu'er knows not to say, but if you don't say that Lu'er is uncomfortable in her heart, and you can't see that the general is uncomfortable tossing and turning, the general can know why his wife has been reluctant to have sex with the general? In fact, it is not because of the past grievances between the general and his wife, but because of ......."

"I know. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked back by Xue Pingchuan's three words.

Lu'er immediately froze in place.

"Lu'er, you are not too young, you can't stay in the General's Mansion all the time, you have to think about it for the future, I heard that there are a few good young people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I will go to be a matchmaker for you, marry in the past, how can I count my General's Mansion as half of your mother's family, and I have already prepared the dowry for you." ”

"Marry a good family, if you miss the General's Mansion in the future, come back and see ......"

After the Western Chu Guozhu left, the maid named Lu'er was already lying on the wall and crying silently.

There are thousands of words in the world, but only love words hurt the most.

......

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was successfully held, the curtain came to a successful conclusion, only in the past three days, there were many more literati and ink writers in Xichu, the pillar of the country, Princess Zhaoyang should be the biggest contributor to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, and then there was the general Xue Pingchuan to challenge the Spring and Autumn Sword God in the past, but immediately after this incident, the whole country was shaken again, just because the emperor Chu Zhongyan of the dynasty had passed the proposal of the Hundred Flowers Banquet and chose to establish the leader of the Jianghu Martial Arts Alliance。

When Sima Yun learned that the place of the decisive battle was actually in Jiulong Mountain, he was still surprised by Chu Zhongyan's handwriting.

He said lightly.

"Our emperor's majesty's mind is a bit mysterious, not to choose elsewhere, but to choose this dragon qi coiled is to accumulate more than half of the national fortune of Western Chu Jiulong Mountain, one is to tell Xue Pingchuan how important his position in his heart is, and second, he does not want Xue Pingchuan to lose, because the national fortune of Western Chu is condensed in Chu Zhongyan, Mr. Ning, Xue Pingchuan three people, there is a steady stream of luck blessing, Xue Pingchuan can be invincible, in other words, Chu Zhongyan wants the old man to die. ”

"Could it be that he let the old man die, and the old man has to die?"

The old sword god didn't have a good airway.

"The old man doesn't understand what luck you people have, I just know that no matter how big the world is, it is not as big as the sword behind the old man, Jiulong Mountain is Jiulong Mountain, Jiulong Mountain is Jiulong Mountain, Jiulong Mountain Old Man uses a sword, and Shilong Mountain uses a sword. The old man is not a saint of the three religions, and he disdains to borrow the power of heaven and earth, and the martial artist should be like this. ”

"What the old man said is naturally reasonable, but I heard that this Xue Pingchuan is by no means as simple as imagined, I heard that General Xue has a shot that has never been used, and when a shot comes out, the gods and Buddhas all tremble, and the old man needs to be careful. On June 15, when he was about to leave Ning Zhiyuan's mansion, Sima Yun reminded.

"It's okay, the old man has his own measure. ”

The old sword god waved his hand, and left the mansion with the sword box in his hand, and the three of them followed.

Zhang Mingyue silently said in her heart, I am afraid that this battle will cause a sensation in the world soon, and it will soon become known to everyone in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Presumably, there will be turmoil in the rivers and lakes at that time.

——

In the Western Chu Palace, the monarch Chu Zhongyan took off his usual dragon robe and changed into a black dress, but it was difficult to hide his monarchical spirit, and he went to the harem to see her who he was thinking about all the time.

Chu Zhongyan asked with a smile.

"But you want to go with me to watch the battle? You also studied martial arts back then, so you shouldn't have missed such a big event. ”

The woman looked at the man in front of her, who had given birth to a princess, tenderly.

"I won't go, it's always your man's business to fight and kill, not to mention that with Mr. Ning going with you, you shouldn't be bored. ”

Chu Zhongyan laughed, although he didn't know when he, a woman who couldn't get enough of seeing her in her life, began to call her senior brother sir.

"In that case, then I won't be reluctant, and I'll tell you the result of this battle when I come back. ”

"So much for the best. ”

Chu Zhongyan walked out of the palace, and sure enough, he saw the national scholar waiting outside the palace gate.

"Sir, I have been waiting for me for so long. ”

"Your Majesty doesn't want your ministers to die in front of Your Majesty, so what's the harm in your ministers doing this?"

——

In the General's Mansion in Bianjing City, the general rarely took off his armor and put on a plain suit, Xue Pingchuan wiped the silver spear shiny, and fought with the top masters in the world, it should be so, hesitated again and again, and finally went to the backyard where he was rejected countless times.

"If I can come back today, you can still treat me as in the past, if I can't come back today, everything in this general's mansion belongs to you, I have no other extravagant hopes, I only hope that you will go to a stick of incense for me, a son, every time I am my father's sacrifice day in the future. ”

"You want me to feel guilty about you?"

The man in the green shirt, who was still blocked outside the door, turned away gloomily, and he said resolutely.

"The fate of the world, from the moment we meet, is a debt to each other. ”

"Xue Pingchuan has never failed you in this life, if you can't come back this time, then everything will be paid off, you don't have to resent me anymore, and you don't have to do things that hurt you in order to retaliate against me, he is not worthy of you. ”

"Xue Pingchuan, you stop for me. ”

The door opened suddenly, revealing a face that was still hard to ignore without powder, but there was still half a shadow of the general right now.

Butler Wang Mingde came quietly.

"He's gone?"

"Gone. ”

"I really hope he can't come back, shouldn't we do what we have to do?"

When the housekeeper finished speaking, a trace of disgust flashed in the eyes of the woman, who was already the age of a woman, but finally let the housekeeper carry herself into the room and untie her clothes.

Wang Mingde sneered.

The Great General of the National Protector?

Haven't you allowed your own women to submit to me?

Xue Pingchuan, although it is good to be affectionate, no matter how affectionate it is, it can't let a woman truly experience the joy of being a woman.

And when a woman in the world reaches a certain age, happiness is more important than anything else.
