The Zhong family couple stood next to each other on the deck. Another girl was sitting in the cabin, looking at the two of them through the door, but she was in a daze.
This girl is none other than Princess Zhu Huichan.
Women in love are always sentimental, and Zhu Huichan is no exception. Looking at Zhong Bailong and Cheng Yaozhen, her heart was full of envy, and she couldn't help but think about whether she would be as happy as Cheng Yaozhen in the future, and whether there would be someone who loved her more than her. husband.
Thinking of this, her eyes immediately turned to Li Hu, who was sitting in the cabin with him.
Li Hu didn't notice Zhu Huichan's gaze at all. He was holding a piece of cloth and carefully wiping a sword.
The sword is five feet long and the blade is three inches wide. It is exactly the "snake wing sword".
Since sneaking into "Tianchu" more than a year ago, Li Hu has never touched this sword. This time Hua Bushi arranged for Chu Yiyi to come by boat to meet her, and specially handed over the sword to her. When Meng Huan brought it When the "Snake Wing Sword" was handed into Li Hu's hand, he felt like meeting a long-lost brother.
For swordsmen, the sword is not just a weapon, they go through life and death together, the sword has become a part of their body, that is, the sword practitioner himself!
So Li Hu took back the "Snake Wing Sword", and for a moment all his attention was focused on this sword. He didn't pay attention to Zhong Bailong and his wife on the outer deck, or Zhu Huichan in the cabin.[
Zhu Huichan stared at Li Hu for a long time, then stood up and walked twice in front of him, but found that he still didn't look at her, and her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Hey, Bull Demon King!" Zhu Huichan shouted.
"Well..." Li Hu responded casually, still not looking at her, still wiping the sword blade in his hand.
Li Hu finally raised his head and looked at her with confusion.
Zhu Huichan said: "I have something very important to ask you!"
Li Hu said: "What's the matter?"
Zhu Huichan said: "I want to ask you, are what you said upstairs in the inn that night true?"
Li Hu said: "I said a lot of things that day, which one are you asking about?"
Zhu Huichan's face turned red and she said, "That's what you said... that you only like me in your heart..."
Li Hu grinned and said, "Of course it's true, but you don't want me to prove it."
Zhu Huichan bit her lower lip and said, "If you really like me, shouldn't you listen to my orders?"
Li Hu said: "What are your orders?"
Zhu Huichan tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "I want this sword."
Li Hu said: "Want a sword?"[
Zhu Huichan said: "Yes, your sword looks very good. I want you to give it to me now!"
Li Hu frowned and said: "This 'Snake Wing Sword' was given to me by Boss Shitou. I have killed many evil people in my hands. You don't know the sword skills, but it is useless to hold it."
Zhu Huichan said: "So it's called 'Snake Wing Sword', which is a nice name. Anyway, I want it. Are you willing to give it to me?"
Li Hu turned his wrist, and the "Snake Wing Sword" was turned around in his hand, and the hilt was delivered to Zhu Huichan.
"It's okay to give this sword to you, but there is a condition."
Zhu Huichan reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and asked, "What are the conditions?"
Li Hu picked up an apple from the fruit plate on the table and threw it into the air. Then he grabbed a bamboo chopstick and threw it vigorously. With a "dong" sound, the bamboo chopstick had pierced the apple and was nailed to the cabin wall. superior.
"If you can stab the apple on the wall with this sword, I will give this sword to you." Li Hu said.
The apple is so big and it's nailed to the wall and won't move. Isn't it easy to stab it? Zhu Huichan thought to herself, and then said: "Okay, you must keep your word, I will stab you right now!" "
Li Hu smiled slightly and said, "I will keep my word." He stood aside with his hands behind his back.
There are many things in this world that are easy to think about, but not so easy to do. The "Snake Wing Sword" looks light and thin, but actually weighs twenty-three kilograms, two taels and five cents, and runs as smoothly as an object in Li Hu's hands. , it was quite difficult for Zhu Huichan to lift it up.
She grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands and barely lifted it up, only to find that the tip of the sword was hanging low. She finally aimed the tip of the sword at the apple on the wall and stabbed it out, only to hear a crisp sound. The "Snake Wing Sword" was pierced on the wall, but it was more than half a foot away from the apple.
The blade of the "Snake Wing Sword" is five feet long. It is a soft sword. If you don't know how to control the sword with strength, it will be very difficult to control it freely.
Zhu Huichan withdrew her sword and thrust it out again. This time it was a little lower, but the point where it was struck was still four or five inches away from the apple. She gritted her teeth and thrust again, but it was too high again, missing by seven or eight inches.
Every time the "Snake Wing Sword" was thrust out, the tip of the sword trembled and swam around, like a lively snake. Zhu Huichan stabbed the sword more than ten times in a row, but none of the swords hit the apple. She was panting from exhaustion. My arm was so sore and numb that I could hardly lift it.
Zhu Huichan was angry and unwilling, so she raised the sword with all her strength and stabbed straight at it again. However, this time the tip of the sword was still missed by a few feet, and her forehead hit the apple.
But there was a "crack" sound, and a big hole was broken into the wall. The "Snake Wing Sword" was originally a sharp sword. Zhu Huichan stabbed the sword more than ten times in a row, and the wooden boards on the wall were also pierced more than ten times. The transparent hole was extremely damaged and was on the verge of collapse. It could not withstand another impact, and the entire wall immediately shattered.
Zhu Huichan couldn't hold back his momentum, and passed through the wall with his sword. Outside the cabin was the river, and he was about to fall straight out. Li Hu rushed forward, put his arms around Xiaoman's waist and pulled Zhu Huichan back, and then smoothly Copy, the "Snake Wing Sword" has returned to his palm.
The apple, along with the wood chips from the broken wall, fell into the Luan River.
Li Hu smiled and said: "I'm talking about stabbing with the sword, not hitting with the head. Even if you hit it, it doesn't count. Now that the apple has fallen into the river, you can't stab it anymore, so I can't give you this sword." La!"
Zhu Huichan almost fell into the water and was in shock. After hearing Li Hu's words, her face turned red with anger.
"If you don't give it away, you won't give it away. Who cares? I know that what you said is all false and you don't love me at all!" Tears rolled in Zhu Huichan's eyes and were about to flow out. She shook her hands and exerted force. He broke free from Li Hu's embrace and rushed out the door.
Li Hu didn't hold him back, but Zhu Huichan had already rushed out of the cabin. He was stunned and murmured to himself: "Why is Hao Duanduan so angry again? Hey, after all, it's Princess Chitose, who is really difficult to serve!"

The five wooden boats traveled along the Luanhe River for thirty miles. They abandoned the boats at dawn and headed north. At noon, they arrived at Xifengkou of the Great Wall.
It is said that in ancient times, someone traveled north and did not return for a long time. His father asked everywhere and came thousands of miles to meet him. The father and son met at the foot of the mountain pass. They hugged each other and laughed. They died of joy and were buried together here. Therefore, this valley is known as It was called "Xifengkou", and later it was called Xifengkou because of its homophonic pronunciation.
The terrain around Xifengkou is abrupt, with heights in the north and lows in the south, with a difference of hundreds of feet. The pass of Lulongsai was built between the peaks on both sides, and the terrain is quite dangerous.
Lulongsai can be regarded as a relatively large pass in the northern area. The group of "Bailong Xing" walked from the south road. Ten miles away they could see the tall bluestone pass wall, and above them the Huanglong army of the Ming Dynasty. The flag was fluttering in the wind. As we got closer, we saw hundreds of soldiers and horses lined up in front of the pass, obviously to welcome their arrival.
On the back of the first two horses, a thin-faced scholar in blue shirt was Yang Sichang, and the general with a black face and long beard next to him was Yu Jue, the guard of Lulong Pass. Behind these two men were three hundred cavalry. They are all riding war horses, with bright armor and fully armed, and their formations are also quite neat.
Beside these officers and soldiers, there is another team of two hundred people. Although the people in the team all wear short shirts and fine uniforms without armor, they are all tall, with strong backs and strong waists, and hanging hangings on their waists and backs. Heavy weapons such as machetes and giant axes are much more powerful than those of the army.
These people are naturally the largest members of the Xiong family.
In front of this group of giant men, Hua Bushi was wearing a long robe, but he looked quite weak. The two people beside him were Sima Rulan, a girl in white, and Xiong Bailing, an old man with gray beard and hair.
As the prince and princess's carriage approached, Yang Sichang and Yu Jue hurriedly came forward to kowtow and salute. All three hundred cavalrymen also dismounted to see them, and they all knelt on the ground in front of the pass.
After all these people had finished saluting, Hua Bushi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Little citizen Hua Bushi, I have seen the prince and princess two thousand years old."
He is not a member of the government. Since he is not above the court, according to the usual practice, he only performs the courtesy of the world.
Prince Zhu Cihong did not make a move, but Zhu Huichan jumped in front of Hua Bushi, looked him up and down with a pair of big eyes, and said: "You are the evil man who is greedy for money and lustful, and is notorious in the world. What about you, Mr. Dog?”
It is true that Hua Bushi has a very bad reputation, but people only talk secretly behind his back, and few dare to speak out in front of the young master.
But he refused to deny it and could only say: "That's right."
At this time, Li Hu had already walked closer to see Boss Shitou, grabbed Zhu Huichan and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
However, Zhu Huichan shook off Li Hu's hand and glared: "You, the Bull Demon King, are not a good person either. I don't want you to care about this princess!"
From the behavior and words of the two of them, Hua Bushi had noticed something strange and said with a smile: "Princess Qiansui, has Li Hu offended you? I'll let him make amends to you, okay?"
Zhu Huichan said: "The Bull Demon King is so stingy that he refused to give me a sword when I asked him for it. He has offended this princess!"
Hua Bushi said: "Do you want that 'Snake Wing Sword'? That sword is heavy and long, and it's really not very easy to use. Why don't I have someone make a sword suitable for a princess to wear? It's better than Li Hu's sword." Even more sharp and beautiful, how about giving it to Princess Qiantai?"
