Chapter 6 Chapter Six: Gift of the Spiritual Knife

Longying rearranged Princess Taiping's clothes with a swift and merciless technique, without touching her skin at all. Princess Taiping said in a friendly voice: "After the state banquet tonight, Master Ying will accompany you back to Taoguang Garden?" Long Ying snorted and said, "I'm not free." Princess Taiping said calmly, "No matter how busy you are, Master Ying will always go home and sleep." Longying grabbed a steamed bun, glanced at her, then moved his eyes to the beautiful scenery of the snowy forest on the river bank. While eating, he shrugged and said, "Hey! It just so happens that I'm going to Fanghua Pavilion tonight to make trouble until dawn, so I don't need to sleep."

Princess Taiping laughed coquettishly: "Liar! You will indeed go to Fanghua Pavilion and have booked a house, but it will be tomorrow night instead of tonight." Long Ying met her triumphant eyes without changing his face, and said: "So what if I lie to you? I don't have time, but I don't have time. You seem to have forgotten that you haven't apologized and begged for mercy." Then he left his seat and said: "There is one more thing, I am not a slave who comes and goes when he is called, next time you use the Habayashi Army to escort Laozi, don't blame me for not giving face."

Haha laughed, ignored the call of Princess Taiping who was almost mad at him, and walked away. ※※※ Leaving Taoguang Garden, I thought it was not enough time to go to Fat Eunuch's office, and it was too early for the Tianjin Bridge appointment, so I had to take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the imperial city of Miyagi. When turning into the Shinto, when the majestic giant Buddha in heaven came into view, seven or eight riders galloped from behind, and the leader let out a "huh", reined in his horse and stopped, and the other knights quickly reined in and braked their horses.

The man said: "Isn't this Mr. Ying Yelong? I'm going to Wu Sansi, I'm lucky to meet you." He jumped off the horse, dexterous like a god, and looked like a master. Long Ying looked at Wu Sansi, this man was two inches shorter than him, he was considered quite tall, with a Chinese character, a dignified appearance, a ruddy complexion, and about the same age as Wu Chengsi, the biggest difference was that he had a pleasant smile and was very friendly , the eyes are flexible and friendly, giving people the feeling of being exquisite and smooth. Wu Sansi moved to Longying's side, and said happily: "We are friends in the same class, don't mention the title, and I will be able to call me Xiaowu in the future, otherwise it will be a stranger! Haha!"

Someone led the horse for him and followed behind. Long Ying thought to himself that the soldiers will come to block him, no matter what thoughts you have in your mind, everything can be used.He smiled and said, "Brother Wu, where are you going?" Wu Sansi said: "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. I'm going to Huangchengxuan to meet some friends from the court and China. If Brother Long joins, everyone will touch the bottom of the wine glass and talk about it. Isn't it a joy in life?" Long Ying said: "If you want to talk about the world, even if you don't have a chance, but the younger brother has something to do, Brother Wu's kindness is appreciated."

Wu Sansi nodded and smiled: "Yes! The future will be long, and I will come to Xia's mansion, where beauties are mellow and wine, and I can enjoy myself even more. I recently obtained a batch of kabuki from Dali. It is not a problem to have outstanding appearance. The most wonderful thing is that they are all soft and boneless." , the benefits, Brother Long can understand it at a glance. Hahaha!" At first, Long Ying couldn't cope with the way he showed his favor. Of course, as a man, he was lying to himself if he didn't want to be tempted, but when he thought of the people in Gantangyuan, how could he ignore them and spend his time outside.He hurriedly said: "It won't work in the next few days, I will visit Brother Wu again when I have a chance."

Wu Sansi touched his shoulder and said with a smile: "Understand, Renya is the gift that any man dreams of. Brother Long should be busy for a few days. Hahaha!" Longying cursed in his heart, and at the same time thought that Wu Sansi had asked Wu Zhao to marry Renya, but was rejected.But it's hard to hit a smiling person with an angry fist, so I had to say: "It's rare that Brother Wu is considerate." Wu Sansi suddenly lowered his voice and said: "I have persuaded the king of Wei! It is just and fair to pay back the debt, but the king of Wei is stubborn by nature, and when he calms down later, I will give you a treat. What's the big deal."

At this time, the crowd passed the majestic and unique Vientiane Shrine and walked towards the Zetian Gate Tower. Wu Sansi looked towards the gate tower, with a look of reminiscence on his face, and said: "On the nineteenth day of the previous year, the Holy Majesty held the enthronement ceremony on this gate tower. The weather was beautiful that day, the weather was sunny, and the Holy Majesty wore a crown of vermilion flowers and a yellow crown. Dragon-patterned robes, gold and jade leather belts, and to the sound of golden drums, read out the enthronement edict, which was changed to Yuan Tianzhi, and after the ceremony was completed, an edict was issued to amnesty the world, the whole country feasted for seven days, and set up seven temples of my Wu family in the capital of the gods."

Seeing his yearning expression, Long Ying knew that his ambition was not inferior to that of his cousin Wu Chengsi, and his delusion of inheriting the throne and continuing his Wu family was exactly the same.Both bastards are dreaming of emperors. Wu Sansi came back to his senses, and said, "Brother Long, are you interested in taking a tour of the gate tower? As the heavy snow has just stopped, go up the tower and look far away, so you can have a panoramic view of the snow scene of the entire God City." Longying Xindao will go up sooner or later to open his eyes, but definitely not with you Wu Sansi.Rejected: "Little brother is rushing to meet a friend outside the palace."

Wu Sansi pondered and entered the imperial city full of government offices with Longying, hesitant to speak. Long Ying asked in surprise: "Brother Wu, is there anything hard to say that you want to say?" Wu Sansi said: "I hit it off with Brother Long, I want to remind Brother Long to be careful of some villains, but I am afraid that Brother Long's misunderstanding will fan the flames, so I am in a dilemma." Longying thought.Xin Ran said: "What kind of person is Brother Wu, don't you know? Brother Wu, please feel free to say it, and the younger brother will only be grateful and not overwhelmed."

Wu Sansi said: "Brother Long, beware of the Zhang brothers. This pair of villains hate Brother Long to the core. According to the rumors I received, they are recruiting experts outside and have evil intentions against Brother Long. Of course, there is nothing wrong with open swords and bright guns." If you don't get Brother Long, I'm most afraid of a conspiracy, and it's impossible to guard against." Long Ying laughed and said, "Understood! Thank you Brother Wu for your guidance." Take the opportunity to say goodbye to him and leave the imperial city. ※※※ Tianjin Bridge. Longying hangs on his back in the well in the middle of the moon, leaning on the railing overlooking the Luo River, recalling the scene of rowing in the snow with the Empress this morning, he doesn't know how it feels. He felt more and more that the reason behind Wu Zhao's acceptance of others was not simple.But if Wu Zhao really regards Renya as the reincarnation of her deceased daughter, no matter how cold-blooded she is, she will never sacrifice her "daughter" one more time and promise her to a person whose "time is short".In other words, she didn't mean to kill Long Ying, it was his grandma's business.I really want to throw everything away and go to the fat father-in-law immediately. Wan Renyu's voice sounded beside him and said, "I was overjoyed to see Brother Long wearing an ancient sword on his back. However, even if Brother Long has a wide range of weapons in the world, he shouldn't fight me with a sword. The one who suffers must be Brother Long. There is also the melancholy of not being victorious." Long Ying smiled and said: "Since Brother Wan has such an idea, let the younger brother take advantage of the rules of the competition. Everyone changes swords and fights. You use my sword and I use your sword. As long as your elder brother can beat the younger brother The number of knives is nine, and the knives are yours!" Wan Renyu was surprised and said: "No matter how bad it is, blocking you nine times is still as easy as picking something out of your bag. Brother Long seems to be ill-considered." Long Ying smiled and said: "Don't talk about gossip, why don't you think about the ideal place for the competition, I don't want to be surrounded by idlers." Wan Renyu looked down the bridge, and said happily: "This is easy, please jump down with me." Then he crossed the bridge railing and threw it down. Longying understood, jumped off the fence like him, and landed on the deck of a passing cargo ship one after another with Wan Renyu. When all the men on the boat were startled, Wan Renyu clasped his fists calmly and said, "I am a disciple of the Guanzhong Sword Sect. Please take care of your comrades in the rivers and lakes. It's convenient. We will leave immediately after we leave the city." All the men looked at one of the older men, and the man said: "It turns out that he is the master of the Guanzhong Sword Sect, of course there is no problem." After Wan Renyu thanked him, he took Long Ying to the stern of the boat so as not to get in the way. When the river wind blows, the two people's clothes are blowing, and both sides of the bank are completely covered with snow, filling the atmosphere of midwinter. Long Ying said with a smile: "This is the first time for my younger brother to take a ride with the wind, Brother Wan really has a way." Wan Renyu said happily: "When you come out to walk in the rivers and lakes, you have to have a sharp ax twice. Yes! Brother Long, have you seen Miss Duanmu?" Long Ying said: "She moved to a nunnery in the east of the city, and she will pay back the gold she deserves when she has time in two days. Speaking of gold, my brother still has a tael of gold, and wants to exchange it for silver taels. What should I do?" Wan Renyu lost his voice and said, "Spent four taels of gold so quickly?" Long Ying chanted: "If you have wine, you must be drunk today, and you will come back after all the money is gone. Ha! I'm just talking nonsense. Except for these two and Duanmu Fairy's five taels, I gave the rest to others." Wan Renyu said: "It's best to find a time-honored store for silver exchange. There is no deception. Among them, Zhenguan Bank has the most reputation, and there are two stores in each city in the north and south." He said again: "There are at least a dozen nunneries outside Shendu, which one is Miss Duanmu staying in? Sigh! Don't tell me." Long Ying said: "Brother Wan is in love with Duanmu Ling!" Wan Renyu smiled bitterly and said: "It's useless to fall in love with her, you're just asking for trouble. The disciple of Jingzhai is a woman who cultivates the way of heaven, no different from a monk. If I disturb her Qingxiu, I will only teach her to look down on me." Long Ying said: "I don't think like Brother Wan. Being a monk at home is just a matter of formality, and has nothing to do with whether you can cultivate the way of heaven. If you like it, let it go and pursue it. If you can't catch up with the scroll and go home to sleep, you can finally be worthy of yourself." Wan Renyu sighed: "You can think whatever you want, but the other party doesn't think so. If you don't believe in evil, just try it. I don't have your fearless courage. But don't blame me for not warning you in advance, and you come back in disgrace , don’t cry to me.” Long Ying said with a smile: "If I get the fairy for my younger brother, wouldn't Brother Wan vomit blood again?" Wan Renyu laughed dumbly and said: "I will never vomit blood because of this kind of thing, because I have made up my mind since I was young and dedicated myself to the way of the sword. There is no problem in acting on occasion, but I don't want to be burdened by my family." Long Ying said: "If the purpose of being a man is just to practice swords, what's the fun? You should do whatever you want, so that you can be happy. With Brother Wan's character, martial arts, status and status, there must be many beauties who are heartbroken for Brother Wan .Hey! Brother Wan, is it true that he will give up the knife and not think about him?" Wan Renyu said: "I do have such an idea now, maybe after Zhongzong's restoration, I will have a change in thinking." Long Ying asked: "Who is Zhongzong?" Wan Renyu said: "Zhongzong is the king of Luling, Li Xian. He had been emperor for sixty days, but at the instigation of Concubine Wei, he tried to seize power from Wu Zhao. Come on. Alas! A fool and an ambitious woman can't do anything stupid." Longying Daqi said: "Then don't you pay allegiance to a fool who has an ambitious woman?" Wan Renyu said helplessly: "The problem is that there is no choice. Our Guanzhong Sword Sect relies on Taizong's support to become what it is today. But as the old man said, it doesn't matter if he is stupid. There is still a lot to be done in the foundation. His grandma! I have captured a serious court criminal for him and handed it over to the king of Luling. I hope he can use this to make great contributions and make peace with Wu Zhao. How could he know the importance of this crime? After having sex, he was so frightened that he froze his ass, didn't even ask and didn't even think about it, and directly escorted him to Shendu without telling me, I was so tired... I don't want to mention it anymore, I never thought that I, Wan Renyu, would break his promise." Long Ying understood that the reason why Wu Chengsi killed him to blame Li Xian was because King Luling was one of the insiders.How could Wu Chengsi know about himself?There is a great chance that Lai Junchen tipped him off.Definitely ask this guy. Wan Renyu said: "Go out of the city!" ※※※ The two of them stepped on the snow and came to an uninhabited snowfield. Wan Renyu took off his saber and threw it at Longying with its scabbard, who also threw the treasured saber in his hand at him. Wan Renyu grabbed Jing Zhongyue, with a strange expression on his face. Longying didn't allow him to think too much, drew his saber and sheathed it, crossed a distance of two feet like a ghost, filled up his magic skills at the fastest speed in the blink of an eye, and slashed at Wan Renyu three times from different angles, without reservation. Wan Renyu shouted "Hello", and calmly drew out the treasured saber, sealed it up and down, blocked his three sabers, and seemed to be able to handle it with ease. Long Ying's heart screamed fiercely, and the last knife was overwhelmed by his wonderful knife technique, so he couldn't perform the next change, so he had to retreat. The two became a confrontation again. Wan Renyu's eyes flashed strangely, he looked down at the long knife in his hand, and said: "Wan has been pursuing a satisfactory knife since he learned the knife, but unfortunately things backfired. That night, Brother Long fought against Xue Huaiyi, and I took out the leather knife to bluff people." The pouch contains not gold but rare ore, and it is going to be used to smelt a new knife. But this knife, holding it, has a strange feeling of flesh and blood. It belongs to his grandma! What is the name of this knife?" Long Ying said: "Brother has not survived nine knives, so he is not qualified to investigate the root cause." Wan Renyu smiled bitterly and said: "The longer I get along with you, the more I don't understand what kind of person you are. In terms of sword skills, Brother Long is really far behind me. It will be you, not my subordinates, who can't stand nine swords." Longying laughed and said: "Stop talking nonsense. Go all out and attack the younger brother with a move. I guarantee you will have unexpected surprises." Wan Renyu lost his voice and said: "If I want to attack with all my strength, if you can't stop it, will you lose your life?" Long Ying shouted: "I'm getting impatient waiting! Still haven't made a move yet?" Wan Renyu left the sheath and right the saber, put out the stance, a powerful and suffocating terrifying saber aura rushed towards the dragon eagle like a bank bursting. He leaned forward slightly with his upper body, his eyes shot out icy cold gazes, aiming at Longying like two arrows. He deserves to be hailed as the number one knife master after Kou Zhong. Dragon Eagle was running the magic kung fu, and the magic eyes were filled with electricity, but they were restrained but not exposed, just like two bottomless pools of water, sighed: "This is what it looks like." Wan Renyu moved. "Chick! Chick! Chick! Chick! Chick!" Taking five steps towards Longying, not only the pace is different, but the distance of each step is slightly different, and each step moves to a new attack angle. The lesser masters, facing his magical and threatening changes The footwork has long been dazzled and trembling, not to mention the tricks and movement of troops to block. Long Ying laughed, and swung the long saber forward. Wan Renyu shouted: "Brother Long, be careful!" Slashing with a knife, like an antelope hanging its horns, there is no trace to be found, it is ever-changing, and it has no beginning and no end. At the beginning, the knife in his hand was not very good, but in the middle of the chop, the knife changed and turned into a strange yellow light like lightning, and it chopped towards the top of Longying's head in an instant. Long Ying's frontal strike was naturally transformed into a diagonal grid. "Clang!" Long Ying was slashed by him with a knife, and he took a step back. Wan Renyu retreated quickly and stood still, staring at the treasured sword in his hand in a daze. Longying lowered his long knife and remained silent. Wan Renyu looked at him, her lips quivered slightly, unable to speak. Longying nodded. Wan Renyu seemed to fully understand the meaning of Long Ying's nod, and a pair of tiger eyes showed uncontrollable excitement. Long Ying sighed: "Nine Moves is indeed my brother's boastful and crazy talk, this knife belongs to my brother!" Wan Renyu couldn't believe it and said: "It's impossible." Long Ying threw away his portable knife with one hand, and said: "Your knife, I threw it away on behalf of Brother Wan." Wan Renyu ignored what he said, and said, "Is it really Jing Zhongyue?" Long Ying sighed: "Except for Jing Zhongyue, the young marshal Kou Zhongming, which rusty knife can produce such a glow? This is a spiritual knife, and I will know it when I hold it." Wan Renyu's legs went limp, and she knelt down to the snow with Jing Zhongyue in her arms.
