To the east of Burgen City is a large area of hills with piles of rocks. In order to be able to drive, the commercial road passed through the mountains and hills. The route was extremely winding. If you could not see the ruts when traveling at night, it would be easy to get lost. Even the people in the city would not be able to get lost.
He rarely goes out of the city at night. He Qizhou's snow dragon horse was hidden in a small valley a few miles away from the city gate. When the three of them rushed over, the snow dragon horse went to find food somewhere. He Qizhou yelled for a long time before he finally found it.
See it coming slowly.
When the three of them walked back to the business road holding torches, they happened to encounter a large group of people sent by Mulati. After searching for more than ten miles, the group found nothing. Because they were afraid of Helian Changji's martial arts skills, they did not dare to disperse and search.
, so he could only return to the city to resume his life.
He Qizhou originally wanted to persuade Shangguan Lingyun to go back early, but he didn't expect that Shangguan insisted on accompanying the two of them until dawn. The three of them talked about swordsmanship along the way. He Qizhou and Xu Mu also understood that what Shangguan Lingyun cared about was not arresting people.
, but studying swordsmanship, it feels like someone who grew up by the sea and has an obsession with fish after living in the desert for a long time.
"Although you are extremely skilled in using swords alone, your skills are still shallow and not worth worrying about. I didn't expect that the power of the combined swords would be so great! Brother, I know that you use the Seven Ultimate Sword Technique, but this big brother,
No, no, they must be brothers, what kind of swordsmanship do you use?" Yuwen Lingyun asked.
"Looking at your age, you recognize my Qijue Sword, which has been used by no one for almost twenty years. However, her Guangling Sword Technique has become world-famous in recent years, but you don't recognize it?" He Qizhou asked curiously.
"When I was young, my father practiced Qijue Sword in front of me. He really couldn't shirk the emperor's request, so he had a sparring match with Yang Zheng on the battlefield. After losing, he always regarded Qijue Sword as his standard. The biggest regret in his life was that he never saw the emperor's request.
Seven Swords..." Yuwen Lingyun looked at He Qizhou with eager eyes.
"I only know six swords. With my current skills, I can't even use four swords." He Qizhou answered truthfully.
"I can see this, it's already very remarkable. I'm sorry, I have been living in this remote place for more than ten years, and I have been surrounded by vulgar people. I really haven't had the opportunity to see the superb swordsmanship, which made you two laugh.
." Yuwen Lingyun said with some disappointment.
"The Guangling Sword Technique was created by my master, and it also drew on the essence of the Qijue Sword. Speaking of which, your Lingyun Sword Technique has long been famous!" Xu Mu said.
"You also know Lingyun Sword?" Yuwen Lingyun asked in surprise.
"Hanjian Villa is the first mountain gate in the Zhou Dynasty. How could you not know it? I just haven't been there. I saw you slashing out that sword last night. It was really amazing." Xu Mu praised.
"Ashamed, ashamed, it's far inferior to your combined sword 'Landslide'."
"It took the two of us trying our best. We still have a good reputation in Qi State. Brother Yuwen doesn't need to be ashamed." He Qizhou said.
"The Lingyun Sword has nine moves in total. The move I used is the strongest ninth move. If combined with the sword in my hand, the power can be at least twice as powerful! I can explain the nine moves one by one. I don't know.
Are you two willing to give me some tips?" Yuwen Lingyun said sincerely.
"You know that we are from Qi, but you are still willing to tell us your secret knowledge?" He Qizhou asked.
"Competing for power and profit in the world is a matter for the palace and the government. I am just a swordsman in the mountains. I only care about right and wrong, regardless of country!" A look of pain flashed in Yu Wen Lingyun's eyes.
"I can tell you the Guangling Sword Technique, but there is a condition." Xu Mu said.
"It doesn't matter, all ten conditions are acceptable." Yuwen Lingyun was overjoyed.
"Without my permission, you are not allowed to tell anyone else. Without your consent, I will not teach your Lingyun Sword Technique to others," Xu Mu said.
"Okay, I have the same conditions, but I only know the Six Swords." He Qizhou said.
"Then I took advantage. It's so good. I owe you four swords. When the ten years here are up, I can promise to do four things for you." Shangguan Lingyun said excitedly.
"It's just an exchange of martial arts, why should we be so popular? Make it like a transaction? Let's just make friends. Whoever needs help, how about helping each other?" He Qizhou said.
"Yes, yes, yes, look where I have been in my life all these years, hahahaha, well said!"
There were a total of twenty-two sword moves, and they were taught for three hours. All three of them were martial arts geniuses, and they understood it immediately. They all admired the exquisiteness of the other's sword skills and admired the other's strong comprehension ability.
Dawn has appeared in the east and the torches have long been burned out. Unknowingly, the three of them have walked more than forty miles without seeing any trace of Helian Changji. He Qizhou and Xu Mu knew that Yuwen Lingyun promised to help Mulati watch the scene.
He persuaded him to go back. Although Yuwen Lingyun, who had learned the sword skills, was a little reluctant to leave, he still decided to break up. Before leaving, he made one last request: "Can you two show your true colors? I won't do it next time we meet.
miss."
"Of course, look, we all forgot about this." He Qizhou said apologetically.
"I have already seen your face, there is no need to bother anymore." Yuwen Lingyun added to Xu Mu.
"You've never seen it before. If you do, you'll never forget it." He Qizhou laughed.
"Get lost!" Xu Mu yelled, and while taking off his mask, he said, "You have to take off your mask later and let us take a look."
"How can I disguise myself?" Yuwen Lingyun said with a smile. Then his eyes froze, and in front of him was a beauty that cannot be overstated!
He Qizhou also removed his face and smiled at each other with Xu Mu, their eyes full of tenderness. Yu Wen Lingyun narrowed his eyes, felt sad in his heart, and the vicissitudes of life on his face became a little heavier, and he handed over his hands and prepared to say goodbye.
"Brother Yuwen, my real name is Xu Muxue, and his name is He Qizhou. You haven't taken off the mask yet!" Xu Mu resumed her female voice, which was sweet and moving.
"I really don't have much of a mask."
"You definitely don't belong here. I guess you have been living under a mask these years. Since we are friends, let's talk to us. Why not throw away the shackles of the past?" Xu Mu advised softly.
"Yes, we can also tell you about our past." He Qizhou said.
"Okay! It's hard to find a confidant. I don't know when we will meet again next time." Shangguan Lingyun frowned and began to talk about the past that he didn't want to look back on: "I am the legitimate son of Shangguan Chongxiao and the young master of Hanjian Villa.
, because of my outstanding natural beauty, my father changed my name to Shangguan Lingyun when I was twelve years old, because in that year, I learned the first style of Lingyun Sword Technique! I also obtained the treasure of the town - Lingyun Sword! Until I was twenty
I have always been the proud one in everyone's eyes, but that year, too many things happened.
I have a childhood sweetheart, my younger sister, who is as beautiful as Sister Muxue! She is the daughter of the governor, but she doesn’t have the temperament of an official lady. In February, I had just lost my crown, and I happily got engaged to my younger sister. In April, the emperor
He personally brought the edict to seal Hanjian Villa as the "No. 1 Villa in the World"!
Although my father does not want to get involved in political affairs, he does not dare to refute the emperor's kindness. After all, many people who left the villa have entered the Zhou court and army..."
"Yuwen Pavilion?" He Qizhou suddenly remembered someone.
"He can be regarded as a figure of my uncle's generation. He was obsessed with seeking official positions and was almost expelled from his family." Yuwen Lingyun said.
"I'm sorry, he was Helian Changji's subordinate. He was killed by us because he followed his master and harmed the civilians in the Western Region!" He Qizhou said.
"Alas, everyone has his own destiny." Yuwen Lingyun sighed.
"He Qizhou, don't interrupt, brother Yuwen, what happened next?" Xu Mu asked.
Yuwen Lingyun continued: "The emperor also brought a princess with him when he came. He hoped that this princess could influence the world of Great Zhou..."
"Helian Changying!" This time He Qizhou and Xu Mu shouted at the same time.
"Yes, Helian Changying had just lost her husband at that time. For some reason, he fell in love with me and clamored for the emperor to grant me a hand in marriage. This was exactly what the emperor wanted. The emperor wanted to marry Hanjian Villa and bring the village into the imperial court.
So we issued a decree conferring marriage in May! Of course we declined on the grounds that the engagement was in place. Unexpectedly, in June the governor sent a letter to cancel the engagement, and in July we remarried my junior sister to the Pei family!"
"Then you didn't go to see your junior sister?" He Qizhou asked.
Yuwen Lingyun said angrily: "Junior sister was deceived by his father. When I found the governor's family, she had already married into the Pei family! I was so angry that I chased all the way to the Pei family in Xuancheng, but they lied to me and said that junior sister did not want to go back.
See me! I waited until August, and news came from home that the emperor had granted me another marriage! This time I couldn't bear it anymore, so I broke into Pei's house at night, and finally met my junior sister who had been abolished from martial arts. She told me something
The cruel words made me angry! Unfortunately, I didn’t find out until three months later that my junior sister had committed suicide by hanging from a beam that night!
After I returned to the villa, the elders urged me to marry the royal family. Since my engagement had been terminated, my father could not find any reason to shirk the favor, so he accepted the favor. The wedding day was scheduled for December. Captain He
Ying came to me several times beforehand, asking me to be the leader of Qinglong Temple and the leader of the martial arts alliance in the future. Humph, would I care about these things?
The day before the wedding, my junior sister's maid quietly brought the news of my junior sister's death. I felt like I was going crazy. After tearing up the marriage contract, I got drunk in the brothel. I was found the next day and brought back to Zhuangzi.
Then, in front of the royal family and all relatives and friends, my father beat me to pieces and drove me out of the villa along with the sword!"
"Isn't this too cruel?" He Qizhou said.
"Maybe it's for your own good." Xu Mu knew that there might be difficulties behind some things.
Shangguan Lingyun said: "I hated him at first, but I finally figured it out over the years. I grew up with fine clothes and fine food, and I didn't bother to steal. In the first days, I relied on charity from kind-hearted people to survive."
I still remember that someone fought off the assassin for me. Now I think it was probably someone secretly sent by the village to protect me.
Although my injuries were extremely serious, they did not damage my roots. I recovered my skills in about three months. During this period, I also met kind-hearted doctors and generous shepherds. To be honest, I was heartbroken at the time. I really didn’t know who those people were.
Those sent by the village are really kind-hearted people.
After I recovered from the injury, I wandered westward and made a living by robbing some tough bandits. Because of my outstanding skills, I gradually became surrounded by some bad friends. Under their deception, I did some stupid things and injured some good people by mistake; when I found out
When the friend turns out to be a traitor and the enemy turns out to be a knight, the whole person loses his direction.
Once I robbed a group of Wusun merchants in a daze. A few days later, after hearing the news, Mulati led an army to chase me. I almost killed him too. Later I discovered that the gang around me had done all sorts of evil to the Wusun people.
Then he got angry and killed all the 'friends'! Then he sent Mulati back who was seriously injured.
Mulati is a relative of the royal family who is stationed here, and those goods are the source of his military salary. I beat him badly, so I agreed to help him watch the field for ten years as compensation, as long as there is no shortage of wine!
Speaking of which, apart from being greedy for money, he is not that evil. Most of those who do not pay will work for him. Apart from losing their freedom, there is no danger of life. It is not much worse than running away outside. As for the nearby
He also made some rules for the robbers: no one is allowed to kill anyone, no businessmen are allowed to be robbed, and no herdsmen are allowed to be robbed. In addition, most of the people passing through this place are desperadoes, so I don’t even bother to pay attention to them.
Alas, apart from losing my kung fu these years, I am actually a living dead."
