Chapter 148: Heavier than a knife, faster than an arrow
Ning Que knew that the second senior brother was a serious gentleman and didn't like being flattered by others, or in other words, he didn't like being flattered in a crude and superficial way that could be seen at a glance, so he thought hard and came up with a simple and simple way.
It was not a simple sentence, but it was said in the most natural way, but unfortunately it was still wrong.
This is equivalent to trying to slap the snow horse's butt, but in the end, he slaps the big black horse's big butt. The scene is inevitably a bit embarrassing. However, he is so thick-skinned that he suddenly fell silent and looked at the lake without realizing that his face was burning.
.
"I heard that the bookworm followed you back to Chang'an City?"
"That person was invited to Chang'an City by my senior brother as my god-sister. She has nothing to do with me."
The second senior brother glanced at him and said coldly: "Is she going to marry the senior brother?"
This was not a misunderstanding but naked ridicule. No matter how thick-skinned Ning Que was, he couldn't help it anymore. He had no choice but to imitate those girls and look down at the toes of his shoes that had rubbed the front of his shoes.
"Go and do your thing."
After the second senior brother said this, he stepped onto the trestle and walked towards the Huxin Pavilion. His posture was stable and even stubborn. Every step was as precise as measured by a ruler. The tall crown on his head floated in the breeze.
Not even a tremor.
Ning Que looked at his back and wondered why the second senior brother always liked to stay in the pavilion.
There was definitely no answer to this kind of question, or in other words, he didn't have the guts to talk about it even after he got the answer. He shrugged, carried a heavy suitcase, and walked into the blacksmith shop where thunder and fire continued all day long.
In the white steam room, the fourth senior brother wearing a blue college winter coat was still sitting by the dark window, meditating on the lines in the sand table, and the bare-chested sixth senior brother was still swinging a heavy hammer by the stove.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the two senior brothers stopped what they were doing and looked back. When they discovered that Ning Que was back, their expressions suddenly became excited and they asked, "Are arrows good for use? Where's the knife?"
Ning Que originally thought that the two senior brothers were so excited because they were reunited with him after a long absence, but he didn't realize that they didn't even have the slightest intention of asking for help. They only cared about their hard work condensed on the swords and arrows. He couldn't help but smile sadly, and then said deeply
He bowed deeply to the ground and gave the most solemn salute to the two senior brothers.
He encountered countless dangers in the wilderness. If it weren't for the two senior brothers in the blacksmith shop who worked tirelessly for many days to make the Yuan Thirteen Arrows and Talisman Knives for him, I'm afraid he would have died long ago. How could he have been saved by this grace?
Not grateful?
Ning Que put down his bag and took out the Yuan Thirteen Arrows from the iron box, lined them up neatly on the ground, and said, "The Yuan Thirteen Arrows are very easy to use. I saw that they only need simple repairs before they can be used again."
The fourth senior brother had a look of suspicion on his face. He stepped forward and counted the talisman arrows on the ground with his fingers. He said with some disbelief: "There is not one missing? How did you pick it back?"
Ning Que answered honestly: "Elder brother picked it up for me."
The fourth senior brother laughed, thinking that since the senior brother was present at that time, the arrow would naturally not be lost.
These talisman arrows on the ground were the result of the hard work of everyone in the back of the academy, especially the fourth and sixth senior brothers, who devoted all they had learned throughout their lives to them and worked tirelessly to achieve the final success.
They already knew the news of Prince Long Qing's defeat. They thought that the younger brother could defeat Long Qing because he must have used the Yuan Shisan Arrow, so they did not expect to see all the talisman arrows. They did not expect that when the younger brother came back, there would be a lot of talisman arrows.
, to them, it is like children returning home without one, they are naturally very happy.
The Sixth Senior Brother looked at Ning Que and asked, "What else do you need us to do, Junior Brother?"
Ning Que smiled a little embarrassedly, thinking that Brother Six had been dealing with fine iron all year round, but he didn't expect to be able to guess his thoughts so accurately. Then he took off the three simple knives and handed them to him with their sheaths.
.
The sixth brother's palms were extremely thick, and he grabbed three knives in one hand and asked, "Is this knife difficult to use?"
Ning Que thought about his choice of words and said, "It's a bit light."
He experienced many battles in the wilderness. These three simple knives helped him gain many flying heads in the confrontation with the horse thieves. However, when he faced Lin Ling, Long Qing, Ye Hongyu and even Master Liansheng like this
When one is a strong practitioner, the role that a simple sword can play becomes very small, and even the talisman lines engraved on it are of little use.
Compared with the Yuan Thirteen Arrows and the Tip Bag, Pu Dao thought that his help was getting smaller and smaller. However, after all, he was used to fighting with a knife, and he really couldn't bear to abandon it, so he wanted to ask Sixth Senior Brother to help him transform it.
Senior Brother Six looked down at the three knives and asked, "How do you want to change it?"
Ning Que looked at the three slender simple knives and thought of many things. In the past years, he relied on these three knives to kill horse thieves at the banks of Subi Lake and kill assassins at the Beishan Pass. However, as his strength increased,
With different promotions and different positions in this world, many things are changing.
In the past, he always carried three knives on his back. This has become a symbol. That is because he has been thinking about how to deal with those insidious three-man assassins under Xia Hou. Now he can kill those with just a move of his fingers.
Assassin, so he no longer needs three knives.
He wanted to kill Xiahou, and Xiahou was alone, so he only needed a knife.
A very large and heavy knife.
That knife had better be bigger and heavier than the bloody sword that Tang Xiaotang was holding.
Ning Que looked at the slender and familiar blade of Pu Dao and suppressed the reluctance in his heart.
"Senior Brother, please combine these three knives into one."
Some seniors were playing the piano and singing, one was scratching his head, another was burying flowers and weeping. A senior sister was tracing hairpin flowers in regular script by the window. The scholar was still studying outside the cave and had a bad temper. Chen Pipi didn't know where he died.
Somewhere in the mountains, the senior brother was slowly traveling around the mountains. He wanted to ask some important questions but could not find anyone.
Because that extremely important question could not be answered, Ning Que did not dare to practice in the back mountain of the academy. Whether it was the flying sword taught by the second senior brother or the flying needle taught by the seventh senior sister, otherwise he would be very worried about the aura in his body.
A jet of black energy shot out from the top of his head and went straight into Yunxiao, causing a certain mountain-suppressing beast from the academy to suppress him.
So he wandered around in the back mountain boredly, lying on the meadow and watching the second senior brother's big white goose feeding the fish. Finally he couldn't stay any longer, so he left the academy and took a carriage back to Chang'an City.
Thinking of doing his best as a landowner, he went to find the disciples of Mochiyuan and planned to take them to visit Chang'an City in winter. However, Mo Shanshan took the girls from the River Country to a banquet hosted by the imperial court and was not at his residence.
So he returned to Lin 47 Lane and took Sang Sang to Hongxiu Zhao.
Hongxiuzhao is the most elegant and expensive entertainment venue in the world. They don't need to do much business to earn enough money, so they usually don't open the door during the day, especially in the middle of winter, and the girls are hiding upstairs.
Or eating melon seeds and chatting in the small courtyard, but the courtyard seems even more deserted and empty than the mountain behind the academy.
But Ning Que is not an ordinary guest. He only had a few taels of silver when he entered the Red Sleeve Movement. After that, he stayed there for many years without spending much money. He also had many unexplained connections with this building.
As his status increased, his popularity in the Red Sleeve Moves became more and more surprising.
The boy in Tsing Yi was a little displeased when he saw someone coming in. He wondered which official from out of town who had just returned to the capital didn't know the hidden rules of the Red Sleeve Move. When he saw Ning Que's face, he couldn't help but be startled.
With smiles on his face, he welcomed the master and servant into the building, then put his hands on his lips and shouted loudly: "The girls upstairs and downstairs, and the girls in the yard, are all coming out to receive the guests!"
Ning Que was in a daze at first, and then felt a little proud, thinking that he might never be able to reach the level of his senior brother in this life, but at least he was quite accomplished in other aspects and had his own unique prestige.
Hearing that it was Ning Que who had returned to Chang'an, there was a burst of footsteps in the red-sleeved shuttle, and a dozen girls poked their heads out from the railing, excitedly waving handkerchiefs in their hands, and called his name.
Looking at this scene, Ning Que couldn't help but think of the scene of teasing and ridicule he received before entering Red Sleeves for the first time. Da Le opened his arms as if to hug all the girls upstairs and shouted: "I miss you to death."
La!"
Shuizhu'er took the hot hair from the hand of the maid, put it on his face, and said angrily: "Those prodigal hoofs used to think you were cute and easy to tease, but now they want to swallow you in one gulp after knowing your identity.
Go, if I hadn't come out early today, let's see what's left on you now."
Ning Que's voice sounded through the hot towel: "I always welcome them to swallow me up."
Shuizhu'er mocked and said: "It seems that this time I went out for more than half a year and my heart has gone wild. What Jian and everyone said back then is still there. Who dares to really swallow you? Don't even think about such good things."
Ning Que straightened up from the couch, wiped his face, threw the hair to his maid, looked at Shuizhu'er and frowned and asked: "Sister, when will the ban be lifted?"
Shuizhu'er pushed him back on the couch, crossed one leg and sat next to him, gently squeezing his leg, and said, "You can ask Jian yourself, but I want to tell you something serious. Chicken soup sticks on the head."
Prints are no longer as easy to sell as they were before, and the table is darker than the bottom of the pot. Can you write a few posts and let me sell them on my behalf?"
Since she started selling chicken soup rubbings, Miss Shui Zhuer has not accepted any customers. Even high-ranking officials in the court would be honest when they heard Ning Que and Master Yan Se standing behind her.
retreat.
As Yan Se's only disciple, Ning Que was of course willing for her to close her business out of a certain emotion that all men understood. However, listening to her tone at this moment, it seemed that she still didn't know about the death of Master Yan Se. He thought deeply.
After a while, he decided not to tell her about it and said with a smile: "I will write you as many pictures as you want."
After hearing this, Shui Zhuer happily put his head in her arms and rubbed it excitedly.
The most proud thing about Miss Shuizhu'er is that she has a plump body. She can squeeze water all over her body. At this moment, Ning Que was held in her arms and it was immediately difficult to breathe due to the two plump masses on her chest.
, but thinking that the other party was half a little mistress, how could he dare to enjoy this feeling, so he quickly broke away.
"How dare you disturb the moral order?" Ning Que said in a panic.
Miss Shuizhu'er said bitterly: "I don't know where your damn teacher died, and there is no moral code anywhere."
Ning Que forced a smile and said: "Master, he went back to Taoshan to practice cultivation. I don't know when he will come back."
Shuizhu'er felt a little sad, and forced out a smile, and said: "Don't mention him, tell me what interesting things happened to you when you went to the wasteland this time. I heard that you abducted the bookworm back to Chang'an City, and she was born
Is it beautiful?”
Ning Que was stunned, thinking how could this rumor spread faster than Yuan Thirteen Arrows? And what is kidnapping?
