Sui Jingcheng was a little uncomfortable.
My impression of senior Wang Bu is that he is the number one martial artist since the founding of the Wuling Kingdom. He is said to be the great master who can fight all over the world of Wuling Kingdom with one hand. He is well-known in both the government and the public. Martial arts warriors, scholars, or traders and pawns all said that Wang Bu was an elegant old man in a blue shirt. He was proficient in all aspects of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In addition to his superb skills, he was also concerned about the country and the people. He once served in On the border, a man wearing a green shirt and guarding the border intercepted an enemy cavalry force attacking from the south at the Knock Pass, buying enough time for the Wuling border troops to arrange their troops...
Chen Ping'an Sui Jingcheng took the seat first, followed by Sui Jingcheng.
Wang Dun stood up again, went to the counter and carried three bottles of wine, one for each person, and said proudly: "I'm treating you."
Wang Dun put the wine bottle in front of Sui Jingcheng When he came, he whispered: "The daughter of the old servant Sui Xinyu, right? She looks really good. The four beauties are equally famous, each has his own merits, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior. It has brought face to the women of Wuling Kingdom, who is at the bottom of the world compared to me. The old master is more worthy of receiving a plaque from the emperor, but I have to say it's fair. The swordsman you found, whether it's the master or the husband, is a bit stingy and is only willing to share a bowl of wine with you. "
Sui Jingcheng glanced at Chen Ping'an across the table, but he just opened the mud seal and poured wine into the big white bowl. Sui Jingcheng smiled at the old man who said he was covered with dough: "Wang The old owner of the village..."
Wang Dun was not very happy when he heard this. He waved his hand and said: "I am not old, and people are old at heart. Just call me the owner of the village. If you call me by name, just call me. I, Wang Du, can do anything."
Sui Jingcheng nodded, "Master Wang, the Qingci swordsman Xiao Shuye is now dead."
Wang Du sighed. After taking a breath, he understood what this "beautiful lady of the Sui family" meant, raised his wine bowl and took a sip of his wine, "But I'm still not at the bottom? Any old guy the Da Zhuan Dynasty can pick out at random will have higher skills than me. ”
Sui Jingcheng felt that he had nothing to say.
Wang Dun smiled and turned to look at the young man in green shirt. He was a swordsman named Chen whose deeds had been published in several landscape newspapers. The earliest record should be On a ferry to Chunlu Pu, he threw away his flying sword and just used fists to punch, knocking off the ferry a martial artist named Liao from the Tiemou Mansion of the Daguan Dynasty. Later, Liu Zhiqing, the swordsman of the Golden Crow Palace, The sword passed by, and it was said that the sword split the thunder clouds protecting the mountain of Golden Crow Palace. Then the two fellows, who were supposed to be enemies and fight, actually drank tea together at Yuying Yaqing in Chunlu Garden. Rumor has it that they became friends. Now, Xiao Shuye's head was removed in Wuling Kingdom.
Wang Dun asked: "This foreign swordsman won't kill me with a sword just because I said you are not generous enough?"
Chen Ping'an was helpless. He smiled and said: "Of course not."
Wang Dun raised the wine bowl, Chen Ping'an followed suit and bumped it lightly. Wang Dun drank the wine and asked softly: "How old are you? ?"
Chen Pingan said: "About three hundred years old."
p>Wang Dun put down the wine bowl and touched his heart, "I feel a little better now, otherwise I always feel that I have lived a long life like a dog."
Sui Jingcheng smiled slightly.
Although I couldn’t compare to the senior Wang Dun in my impression, it seemed that it would be better to sit at the same table and drink with such an old owner of Sasu Villa.
Wang Dun lowered his voice and asked: "Did you really just fight fist to fist to beat the man named Liao from Tiemou Mansion so that he fell off the ferry?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Somewhat "Too big, it's very dangerous."
Wang Dunxiao asked: "Then let's discuss it as soon as possible. Don't worry, it's just that I drank some wine and saw the real thing. A worldly expert, my hands are itchy."
Chen Pingan shook his head.
Wang Dun said: "You are willing to drink two bottles of wine for free, and you are not willing to do such a small thing?"
Wang Dun saw that the man showed no sign of changing his mind, "Then I beg you. You?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while, nodded and said: "Just follow what Senior Wang said, punch to punch, just hit it."
Wang Dun stood up. , looked around, seemed to have picked out a wine table next to him, pressed it down with a gentle palm, the four table legs turned into powder, but there was no sound, and the tabletop fell gently to the ground.
Chen Ping'an said: "If you feel that the two of them jumped on the table to discuss, and in the eyes of others, it looks a bit like a show, then we can just move the table."
Wang Dun was stunned for a moment, "I do want to do this, isn't it because I am afraid that you, the swordsman, will feel that you will lose your status?"
The two of them walked onto the table almost at the same time.
Sui Jingcheng wanted to get up and walk out of the restaurant, but Chen Pingan reached out to signal her not to get up.
After Wang Rui stood still, he clasped his fists and said, "Wang Rui of Wuling Kingdom's Sansao Villa has a small mastery of boxing skills. I hope you can teach me."
Chen Ping'an clasped his fists in return, but said nothing. He stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and said, "Please."
It is not appropriate to state your true place of origin and name.
I don’t want to say that I am a good person.
The onlookers in the distance were in an uproar. Why did this old wine seller become senior Wang Dun?
But when the old man tore off the mask on his face and revealed his true face, the crowd was excited. It turned out to be the old man Wang Dun who had never seen the dragon before it was seen!
Wang Duan's fist shot out like a rainbow, with fierce momentum but no murderous intent.
The green shirt is more defensive than offensive.
When the two of them stood side by side, Wang Dun smiled and said: "Now that we have figured out the general details, can we let go a little bit?"
Chen Pingan nodded.
In the distance of the streets and on the roofs and trees on the walls, the martial arts warriors were excited to watch. This kind of pinnacle battle in which the two sides were limited to a small area was really unprecedented in a century.
Senior Wang Pu is worthy of being the number one person in our Wuling Kingdom. When he met a swordsman, he dared to punch without saying anything, and he did not fall behind.
Although the sword fairyHe has not yet used a flying sword, but just by saying a word of conscience, senior Wang Dun has already risked his wealth and life, gambled on his dignity as a martial artist who has never failed in his life, and earned money for all the people in the Wuling Kingdom. What a huge honor! Senior Wang Duan is truly the bravest man of our Wuling Kingdom!
Those heroes who only dared to watch the battle from a distance, firstly, had no real martial arts masters, and secondly, they were far away from the wine shop, so naturally they could not see it as clearly as Sui Jingcheng.
For example, when she saw her senior planning to end the sparring, he suddenly sped up his shot, took a step forward, twisted his wrist, knocked away Wang Duan's punch, and continued forward with a palm. If he wanted to hit Wang Duan on the face, he should be able to slap Wang Duan out of the table at the feet of both parties. Unexpectedly, Wang Duan quickly winked, the senior nodded slightly, and Wang Duan's originally slower punch , and the palm of the senior hit each other almost at the same time, the two of them slid forward two steps together, both of them had a clear understanding of each other, and they both landed on the edge of the table.
Sui Jingcheng saw that Wang Dui started to wink again, and the senior in green shirt also started to wink. Sui Jingcheng was confused. Why did it feel like he was bargaining for a deal? However, despite bargaining, the two of them punched and palmed each other faster and faster. Every time they came back and forth, the results were almost evenly matched. No one took advantage. From the outside, it looked like a neck-and-neck contest. The Battle of the Grandmasters.
In the end, the two people must have agreed on the "price". One person punched the other's chest, and the tabletop under his feet split into two. They each stomped their feet and stood still, and then each clasped their fists.
Finish and call it a day.
Wang Dun laughed and said: "I never thought that a swordsman could have such good boxing skills."
The other party said loudly: "Your fist skills, Wang Dun's, are more powerful and polished." Even more flawless. For as long as ten years or as short as five years, I will still come to Sasu Villa to learn boxing skills with you Wang Dui." Sui Jingcheng rubbed his forehead and lowered his head to drink, feeling a little uncomfortable. Looking at the mutual compliments between the two, I even felt that the real world was like wine mixed with water.
If Hu Xinfeng, Xiao Shuye and his like did this, she, Sui Jingcheng, would not care, but he and senior Wang Bu were so shameless that Sui Jingcheng almost fell apart. She never wanted to touch the Jianghu romance novels in her life. .
Wang Dun walked to the door of the wine shop, held his fists high in the air, saluted everyone, and then waved his hand, "Let's all leave."
Cheers and applause came one after another. Then they dispersed one after another.
Senior Wang Dui said this, so naturally it was hard for everyone to stay any longer.
When Wang Dun sat back down, the green-shirted swordsman had already picked up the two half-torn tabletops on the ground and stacked them on a nearby wine table.
After Wang Dun sat down, he took a sip of wine and said with emotion: "Since you have such a high level of cultivation, why do you take the initiative to seek out me, Wang Dun? It's for the sake of the family behind this Sui family girl. ? I hope that I, Wang Dui, can help take care of you after you two leave Wuling Kingdom and go to the mountains to practice?"
<< /p>Wang Dun snorted and nodded, "The intrigues among the cultivators on the mountain are actually just grievances and grievances between the two parties that have lengthened their lives. Ultimately, they are no different and have no meaning. But you, this person He should be a young swordsman, not like the gods on the mountain I have seen before, so I don’t think I’m wasting the drinks by inviting you to drink. Am I saying that in a too strong tone?”
< p>Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Martial arts practice is all about being down-to-earth. There are no shortcuts. If you are not ambitious and see farther, how can you reach the top step by step."Although Wang Dun sells wine , it seems that he doesn’t really have much of a hobby for drinking. He mostly drinks slowly and slowly, never drinking heavily. He said sadly: “This wine shop can’t be opened. Many people in the world can no longer listen to their true words.” p>
Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Master Wang doesn't like to hear good words so much?"
Wang Duan curled his lips and said, "I also like to hear them. When I was young, I especially liked to hear them, and now even more I love to listen, but I just love to hear good things. If I don’t listen to more truthful and unflattering words, I’m afraid that I, Wang Dui, will float into the sea of clouds. When the time comes, people will float without the magical powers of the immortals in the sea of clouds. Fall to death?"
Chen Pingan glanced at the sky.
Wang Dun smiled and asked: "As agreed before, in addition to a dozen jars of good wine, what else should I bring out from the villa?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Two. A fast horse, and the address of the Immortal Family Ferry in the Green Eagle Country." Wang Dun wondered: "That's it?"
Chen Ping'an said: "It's already a lot."
Wang Dun pointed to the counter, "The more wine is placed below, the mellower the taste. Sword Immortal can take it as he pleases."
Chen Pingan stood up and went to the counter. Start pouring wine into the sword gourd.
One jar after another was opened.
After the five jars of old wine were unsealed, Wang Dun couldn't sit still. He lay on the counter and whispered softly: "On the Jianghu Road, if you drink and get into trouble, that's about it."
Looking at the young swordsman in blue with his back to Wang Duan, he kept pouring the wine in his hand, "It's okay, put more wine in it, and you can drink less."
Wang Dun hesitated for a moment and reminded: "I can change my face and continue selling wine in another place."
The young swordsman raised his head and said with a smile: "Then I will give my best wishes to Master Wang first. Good luck with the business and great wealth."
Wang Dun saw that he was not on the road, so he had to continue: "The jars of old wine below are too strong, and they are called thin plum wine. They are actually my old cellar at Sasao Villa. Generally, the people who come to this wine shop don’t know the name of the wine. Even if they can afford the money, they don’t dare to drink two bowls of wine. The stamina is too strong, so it is called two bowls of water or three bowls of wine. You might as well use the usual Mix it with wine and it will taste better.”
Younger.The man shook his head and said: "It's okay. Drinking is not tea. There is no need to pay attention to the long aftertaste. Drinking to get drunk is natural."
Wang Dun couldn't help it anymore, "Nowadays, Zhuangzi has many distinguished guests, including officials and family members." , friends in the world, and celebrities in the literary world, they can't wait any longer. The thirty jars of plum wine stored in the village have probably been exhausted. The reason why I came here to hide in peace is to keep a few jars of plum wine. You Don't you understand?"
The young man has opened the last jar of plum wine and said angrily: "Senior, why didn't you tell me earlier that once the mud seal is opened, the smell can no longer be hidden? We almost drank it at the wine table, otherwise we could have tasted the plum wine. It’s a pity not to put it into my wine jug now, it’s a pity, since Mr. Wang wants to keep a jar for himself. "Drink, I'm just willing to share a bowl of wine with others, so I'll forget it and leave this jar to Master Wang."
Wang Dun waved his hand, hehe. He smiled and said: "What the hell, just pour the wine. I, Wang Dun, am not that kind of person. I give good wine to the sword fairy, and hide the wine to nourish the sword gourd. There are beautiful things in the world. It's a good thing."
So here we are. In the end, not a single jar of plum wine was left.
Wang Dun turned around, as if watching his daughters getting married in distant places, feeling a little sad and unwilling to look again.
Wang Dun turned his back to the counter and sighed, "When are you leaving here? It's not that I don't want to be hospitable to guests, so I'd better not go to Sashu Villa. It's just some boring entertainment."
p>Then Wang Dun told the detailed address of the Xianjia Ferry in Green Ying Country.
Chen Pingan walked around the counter and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Mr. Wang to get two horses. We won't spend the night in the town and will leave immediately."
Wang Duan waved his hand and called a disciple from the villa who came after hearing the news to him from the far corner of the street. He was a middle-aged swordsman with a face as beautiful as a jade. Wang Duan's martial arts knowledge was mixed, whether it was boxing or light kung fu. , or swords and guns, he is the well-deserved number one in the Wuling Kingdom. Therefore, among the direct disciples, each has his own proficiency. This person who came to the wine shop is the proud disciple who has learned the true inheritance of Wang Duan's swordsmanship. He is a stable disciple in the Wuling Kingdom. Living in front of the swordsman
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After meeting Chen Ping'an, the master of martial arts and martial arts, the top three martial arts masters, listened to the master's instructions and did not forget to pay homage to him before leaving the wine shop. The green-shirted Sword Immortal cupped his fists and saluted: "Wang Jingshan, a disciple of Sasou Villa, pays homage to the Sword Immortal. If the Sword Immortal passes by the villa again in the future, please ask the Sword Immortal to teach the younger generation some swordsmanship."
Chen Pingan nodded with a smile. , "Okay."
Wang Dun smiled and said: "What kind of swordsmanship can you give me? As soon as the flying sword on the mountain comes back and forth, you, Wang Jingshan, will lose. I just want to see the sword fairy's destiny with my own eyes. It’s just that I’m not ashamed to give any nonsense reasons.”
Wang Jingshan was obviously familiar with his master’s temper and did not feel embarrassed. He smiled and left.
Soon Wang Jingshan brought two horses from the villa. In addition to Wang Jingshan, there were also two riders, a pair of boys and girls, who were Wang Jingshan's junior brothers and sisters.
Three people and five horses came to this county town not far from Sasu Villa.
Ordinary people in the villa would not dare to go to a wine shop with Wang Jingshan to harass the master. To see the legendary swordsman, the two favorite disciples of the master, could grind Wang Jingshan to the point where he had to Bite the bullet and bring it along.
Wang Dun and the two foreigners were not at the wine shop, but the three of them stood at the door of the inn near the wine shop.
Without any polite greetings, Chen Pingan and Sui Jingcheng got on their horses and rode away.
The young man who carried the sword like Wang Jingshan clenched his fists with both hands and exclaimed: "He is indeed the swordsman mentioned in the book!"
Wang Dun smiled and asked: " Which one of your eyes can tell?"
The young man was not afraid of Master Wang Bu at all. He bent his fingers and pointed at his eyes, "You can see it all!"
This movement was naturally learned from the master.
The girl was wearing a sword and said disapprovingly: "I didn't see any way anyway."
The young man sneered and said: "You learn swordsmanship, unlike me, so naturally you can't feel that The Sword Immortal has endless sword intent. I’m afraid I’ll scare you if I tell you. I just took a few glances and it benefited me greatly. Next time you and I compete, if I even just borrow a trace of the Sword Immortal’s sword intent, you will definitely lose. !"
Wang Dun slapped the young man on the head, "What a fool, why didn't you say this when the sword fairy was here?"
The young man was serious? Said: "The Sword Immortal's momentum is too strong. I was suppressed by the earth-shattering sword energy and couldn't open my mouth."
Wang Dun slapped him again, hitting the young man's head, " "Go away."
The young man walked out in a swagger, turned around and said with a smile: "On the way here, I heard that Senior Brother Jingshan said that Lu Dayong, the river-turning dragon, had learned the flying sword of the Sword Immortal. I'll ask him. Dao asked, if you accidentally give me a hint of the true meaning of Feijian, haha, let alone senior sister, even senior brother Jingshan will not be my opponent in the future. It is gratifying for me, and for senior brother Jingshan. , It’s really sad.”
After finishing speaking, the boy carrying the sword walked as fast as he could.
Wang Jingshan held back his laughter, "Master, who did this little junior brother get this bad habit from?"
In order to distance himself, Wang Dun started to throw dirty water at random, "It should be from him?" Your senior sister."
Wang Dun's eldest disciple Fu Loutai is also one of the top three swordsman masters in Wuling Kingdom, and Fu Loutai's swordsmanship is also very good, but the former The old girl married a man who was actually her husband and raised her son, so she chose to leave the world completely. The man she married was neither a well-matched martial arts hero nor a son of a powerful man who had been in the family for generations. He was just an ordinary man from a well-off family. And she is seven or eight years younger than her. What is even more strange is that the entire Sasao Villa, from Wang Dui to all the junior brothers and sisters in Fu Loutai, does not think there is anything wrong with some gossip in the world. And never care. In the early years when Wang Dun was away from the villa, it was actually Fu Loutai who taught him martial arts.I am afraid that Wang Jingshan is older than Fu Loutai, but he still has great respect for this senior sister.
So the girl felt aggrieved and complained: "Master, you can't do it without the elder sister being away from the villa. This is too unethical."
Wang Dun ignored it and walked back to the wine shop with his two disciples.
After closing this wine shop, it was natural to move.
Wang Dun sat at the wine table, and Wang Jingshan began to take this opportunity to report to the old man the current situation of Saswei Villa, financial income and expenditure, human relations, the appropriate hanging of the emperor’s plaque, and the day he chose for the zodiac. On an auspicious day, a certain hero from a certain sect handed over a name card and a gift, but did not come to stay in the villa. Who complained to Wang Jingshan when he stayed at the villa? When did he want to ask Wang Dun for help in communicating with someone? There is also a birthday party for a certain Jianghu old man from a certain sect. Someone needs to show up at Sashu Villa to repay the gift. A servant from the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment personally sent a letter to the Villa. It is necessary for Zhuangzi to send people to help the government solve a suspenseful problem. Murder case in the capital...
Wang Dun poured wine from the flask on the table into a big white bowl, and drank the wine one mouthful at a time. For some things that Wang Jingshan had already decided, the old man mostly just nodded, even if it was passed. , if he felt that it was not safe enough, he would give some advice. Some of the things that Wang Dui thought were more important were explained in detail, and Wang Jingshan wrote them down one by one.
The girl with the sword yawned as she listened, but did not dare to ask for a drink. She just lay on the table, looking at the street beyond the inn, secretly thinking that the woman wearing a power fence on her head, What is her face? Could she be a great beauty? If the power fence is removed, will it be just like that, and won't it make people feel amazing at all? However, the girl was still a little disappointed. The Sword Immortal who she originally thought she would never have the chance to meet in her lifetime, except that she was surprisingly young, did not seem to fit the image of the Sword Immortal in her mind at all.
Wang Jingshan talked for nearly half an hour before finishing all the recent bustling matters at the villa.
Wang Jingshan never drinks, is extremely dedicated to swordsmanship, does not approach women, and is a vegetarian all year round. However, after his elder sister Fu Loutai retired from the world, he and an old housekeeper were mostly in charge of the affairs of the villa. The latter is in charge of the internal affairs, while Wang Jingshan is in charge of the external affairs. But in fact, the old housekeeper is old and has suffered many illnesses in the world in his early years. He is no longer energetic, so Wang Jingshan is more responsible. After that, the old housekeeper was in a hurry and needed Wang Jingshan to step in to take care of the relationship. After all, many famous people in the world had to carefully consider the identity and cultivation level of the disciples at Sasu Villa who were responsible for receiving him. If Wang Jingshan stepped forward, Naturally, he has a good reputation. If Lu Zhuo, the least qualified among the many disciples of senior Wang Bu, was responsible for entertaining, it would be embarrassing.
Wang Dun picked up a bowl to drink, put it down, and said: "Jingshan, do you blame your Senior Sister Fu? If she was still in Zhuangzi, you wouldn't need to shoulder these messy affairs. Maybe I can let youReach the Seventh Realm early. "
Wang Jingshan smiled and said: "I don't believe it myself when I say I don't complain at all. I just don't complain much, and more often I complain about why Senior Sister Fu found such a mediocre man. I always feel that Senior Sister can find him. A better one. "
Wang Dun smiled and said: "If the love between men and women could be reasonable, I guess there wouldn't be so many novels about talented people and beautiful women that are rampant. ”
Wang Jingshan never gets too involved in this kind of topic.
In fact, even if he doesn’t like the person who occasionally follows Sister Fu to the villa, he will shrink back. Wang Jingshan is also polite and courteous to the unpopular men. Not only that, he also tries his best to restrain his junior brothers and sisters, fearing that they will accidentally reveal any emotions. In the end, it will be difficult to be a good person. , it’s still Senior Sister Fu.
Wang Dun paused for a moment, feeling a little sad, “Master feels a little sorry for delaying your sword practice, but I’m sorry to say that I hope you can be busy. , Master felt very happy in his heart. He always felt that it was a very comfortable thing to accept you as a disciple and teach you swordsmanship. But no matter what, Master still wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you.
Wang Jingshan sat upright and said, "Master, please speak. Disciple is listening."
Wang Dun smiled and said softly: "Jingshan, if one day you feel tired, really tired of these villa common affairs, and want to travel the world with one person and one sword, don't feel guilty at all." Don't have any, just go to Master openly and bring a jug of good wine. Master will drink the wine and see you off. Whenever you want to go home, come back. After resting, go out into the world again. This is how it should be, and how it should be. "
Wang Jingshan snorted.
The girl with the sword on the next table had tears in her eyes.
When I thought that the senior sister was no longer in the villa, what if senior brother Wang Jingshan was also there? It would be a very sad thing to leave.
But what makes the girl even more sad is that the master is old.
Wang Jingshan suddenly said: "Master, I will do it now. Have you gone to the world?
Wang Dun was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Don't mention me, Master drank too much today, and I just said some drunken words to you for free. Don't take it seriously, even if you take it seriously, It's a little later, and now Zhuangzi still needs you to take the lead..."
The girl rolled her eyes, turned her head, and lay on the table.
This has never been the slightest bit in front of her own people. The master with the style of a master is really annoying to me.
But whether it’s Senior Sister Fu or Senior Brother Wang Jingshan, they are both Wang Dui, the number one person in the Wuling Kingdom, and the one who is always lazy at Sasao Villa. Master, they are two people.
She and her younger brother also believed in this matter.
Because both Fu Loutai and Wang Jingshan had traveled through the world together.
< p>Master has had several conflicts with the Taoist cultivators on the mountain in his life, and there have been several near-life-changing fights.The reason why Master took action was between Senior Sister Fu Loutai and Master.Brother Wang Jingshan said the same thing, that the master was nosy.
But for some reason, when Fu Loutai and Wang Jingshan said this, not only did they not complain about their master at all, but their eyes seemed to be filled with brilliance.
The young man with the sword on his back came to the wine shop like the wind and sat down on the bench next to his master Wang Dui.
Among Wang Dun's disciples, this young man is the only one who can do this without any scruples.
Wang Dun smiled and asked: "What, have you gained anything?"
The young man lamented: "The river-turning dragon Lu Dayong said exaggeratedly, and he sprayed saliva all over my face. , so I always have to be careful to block his hidden weapon, and Lu Daxia only repeats these few sentences over and over again. I am not really a god, and I can’t figure out too many true meanings of the flying sword, so Senior Brother Wang’s luck is better than that of Young Senior Sister, otherwise I would Now he is the number one among Master's disciples."
Wang Jingshan smiled and said, "Then I will go back and thank Master Hu for his mercy?"
The young man waved his hand. "No need, anyway, my swordsmanship is better than yours, either today or tomorrow."
Wang Jingshan smiled and said: "Oh?"
The young man changed his words and said: "It's either this year or next year! ”
Wang Jingshan stopped talking.
Although this little junior brother doesn’t have any rules.
But it’s about practicing swordsmanship.
The young man is the most well-behaved person in Sasao Villa.
That's enough.
Wang Blun glanced at the three disciples who had different temperaments but were all very good. He felt that he could drink a little more wine today, so he got up and went to the counter, but was stunned.
Why are there three more bottles of unfamiliar wine?
After opening one of the pots, all three disciples could smell the clear and distant aroma of wine.
Wang Dun laughed loudly and asked the girl to take a bowl with him before sitting down. Even Wang Jingshan was asked to take a bowl with wine, saying that he wanted to have a drink and taste the mountain gods. drinks, and then the old man poured different shades of Xianjia wine into their bowls.
The young man took a sip and said in surprise: "Mom, this drink is very refreshing, much better than our Zhuangzi's Plum Wine! It is indeed a gift from the Sword Immortal, it's amazing!"
p>Wang Jingshan also took a sip and felt that it was indeed different, but still did not want to drink more.
After the girl took a sip, she didn’t think anything of it, but it was still difficult to swallow. Is there any drink in the world that tastes good?
The old man smiled at the young man and asked: "You are a swordsman and your master is not a swordsman. Do you feel sorry?"
The young man took a sip of the immortal's wine. , said carelessly: "That disciple is not a swordsman."
The old man nodded with a smile, and the hand that was always ready to hit the young man on the back of the head with a chestnut quietly changed to the palm of his hand and touched the young man. The head is full of kindness: "He is still a conscientious person."
The young man nodded vigorously, and then while the master lowered his head to drink, he turned to wink at the girl, probably wanting to ask me if I was smart or powerful, so that I could escape disaster and save myself a chestnut.
The girl began to complain to the master.
Wang Jingshan began to add insult to injury.
The young man began to act stupid and crazy.
Wang Dun didn't say anything, he just poured the wine in their bowls into his own white bowl, raised his head to gather the bowls, and drank it all in one gulp.
————
To go to the Green Warbler Kingdom located on the eastern coast of Beiju Luzhou, you need to go all the way north from Wuling Kingdom and pass through Jingnan and Beiyan. two countries.
They are not big countries, but they are not vassals of a big dynasty either.
Jingnan has many swamps and lakes, while Northern Yan has many mountains and mountains.
However, the relationship between Jingnan and Wuling Kingdom has not been very good. There have been many frictions on the border, but there have been very few wars involving more than 10,000 border troops in the past century.
Wuling Kingdom’s border troops mostly rely on the dangerous passes in the north, and the navy in Jingnan is strong. It is difficult for both sides for the enemy to penetrate deep into the hinterland. Therefore, if there are border generals who like to defend the border, the border between the two countries will be peaceful. The situation of prosperous border trade, but if it were replaced by border generals who like to accumulate small military achievements and seek temple fame, there would be a lot of small battles. Anyway, note
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is determined that there will not be a war involving all the national strength. The border troops will have no worries no matter how hard they go. The emperors of the two countries have a tacit understanding and try not to use military men who like to kill to guard the border at the same time. However, Jingnan Kingdom’s foreign relatives are now more powerful. More than ten years ago, a young and powerful relative of the noble family took the initiative to be transferred to the south, strengthened his troops, built a cavalry army, and launched several provocations. It was also rare for the Wuling Kingdom to have a native who rose from the border and was proficient in the art of war. The Confucian general was in charge of the Northland defense line in the past few years, so there have been a series of small-scale killings in recent years. Ten years ago, if Wang Dun happened to be traveling at the border, he inadvertently blocked the elite cavalry of Jingnan Kingdom without any warning. If they break into the Dikeng Pass, the Wuling Kingdom may fall to one or two important border towns. Of course, they can also be captured, but the number of soldiers and soldiers killed on the battlefield by both sides will definitely be the most in a hundred years.
Chen Pingan and Sui Jingcheng rode at a small pass in the Wuling Kingdom that was not heavily guarded. They handed over the ultimatum and crossed the border. Then they did not take the official road of Jingnan Kingdom and still followed Chen Pingan's instructions. For route planning, I plan to choose some mountain trails to cross mountains and rivers to explore dangers and secluded places.
Not long after entering the country, I watched a fight on a narrow road from a distance on a secluded trail.
They are two groups of scouts, each with dozens of riders.
The elite cavalry who went south were the scouts of the Wuling Kingdom, and the scouts who returned north were the elite cavalry of the Jingnan Kingdom.
Sui Jingcheng wondered: "It is the barbarians from the Jingnan Kingdom who always go south to raid and harass the pass. Why did our scouts take the initiative to enter the enemy's territory?"
Chen Pingan said: "This shows that you Wuling The young Confucian general who was famous in both the government and the public had great ambitions. He joined the army at a young age and managed to conquer the country in less than ten years.A person who is a third-grade general will definitely not be simple. "
The two cavalry left the trail early and stopped in the dense forest beside the road. After tying their horses, Chen Ping'an and Sui Jingcheng stood on a tree overlooking the battlefield.
Jingnan Kingdom The navy has always had outstanding combat capabilities, second only to the Da Zhuan Dynasty and the Daguan Dynasty in the south. However, there are almost no regular cavalry that can actually enter the battlefield. In the past ten years, the foreign military general has fought with the Houliang Kingdom bordering the west. After spending a lot of money on war horses, they managed to gather together a cavalry army of about 4,000 people. Unfortunately, there was no success in the expedition. They met Wang Duan, the number one man in the Wuling Kingdom. Faced with such a great master of martial arts, even if he rode a horse Even with those six legs, he couldn't catch up, and he was destined to fail and leak the military information, so he retreated back then.
On the other hand, the infantry and cavalry of Wuling Kingdom have never been outstanding in the territory of more than ten countries. , it can even be said to be quite disadvantageous, but facing the Jingnan Kingdom's soldiers and horses who only focus on the navy, Sui Jingcheng has always been at an advantage.
So Sui Jingcheng, as a member of the Wuling Kingdom, felt that after the two groups of scouts met, The border troops on their side must have won.
However, the battlefield situation turned out to be one-sided. After the scouts from both sides encountered each other, there was no room for maneuver on the path, and the scout leaders from both sides did not hesitate at all.
The scouts of the two countries did not make any roars. They all rode forward silently.
In the first few rounds of bow and crossbow riding, there were casualties on each side. The Jingnan Kingdom scout Xiao Sheng, shot. Five scouts from the Wuling Kingdom were shot and killed, while only two of the Jingnan Kingdom's elite soldiers were killed.
The two sides fought again.
p>
It was the Wuling Kingdom's scouts who secretly entered the country who suffered more casualties.
After the two sides exchanged battlefield positions, two Wuling Kingdom scouts who were wounded and fell off their horses tried to escape from the trail, but were beaten by several soldiers. The southern scout was shot in the head and neck with an arm crossbow.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Jingnan scout fell to the ground and suffered an even worse fate. Several arrows were driven into his face and chest, and he was also bent sideways by a rider. The sword was accurately applied to the neck, and blood was scattered all over the ground.
Only one of the Wuling Kingdom scouts located in the south of the battlefield continued southward.
In fact, the scouts from both sides continued. They are not all riding alone, but they are fighting in a narrow road and rushing past in a hurry. Some of the horses that try to follow their owners through the battle formation will be shot or chopped as much as possible when the opponent cuts through the formation.
< p>So the Wuling Kingdom scout rode two horses in exchange for a colleague decisively giving up his mount.Otherwise, he would not be able to run far
< p>The rest of the Wuling Kingdom scouts turned their horses' heads one after another, with the simple purpose of sacrificing their lives to prevent the enemy scouts from pursuing them.Of course, there was also the scout who had lost his horse. Just take a deep breath and stand with your sword in hand.
On the battlefield, a large group of cavalrymen dare not do it, but the most elite scouts in the cavalry army can actually do it. But in this case, it would be easy for the cavalry to be unable to distance itself from these Jingnan barbarians.
The two sides were originally about the same strength, but there was a gap in strength. After crossing the formation once, one man and two cavalry from the Wuling Kingdom fled the battlefield, so the disparity in combat power became even greater.
A moment later.
It’s just corpses everywhere.
The scouts from Jingnan Kingdom, with three horses and six horses, silently pursued him.
Under the orders of a young soldier, the other scouts dismounted from their horses, or pressed their light crossbows against the forehead of the wounded enemy scout on the ground. With a bang, the arrows penetrated the skull.
There were also two scouts from Jingnan Kingdom standing behind a seriously injured enemy cavalry, and they began to compete with each other for the accuracy of their bows and crossbows. The loser became angry, drew his sword, walked forward quickly, and slashed with his sword. Lower head.
The young soldier had an expressionless face. He stepped on the corpse of a Wuling Kingdom scout with one foot and slowly wiped away the blood on the sword in his hand with the face of the corpse on the ground.
A Wuling Kingdom scout on the ground who should have been seriously injured and died suddenly pointed his arm crossbow at an enemy who approached him and cut off his head. The latter had no way to hide and subconsciously raised his hand. Guard your face.
The young soldier seemed to have expected it. Without turning his head, he threw out the sword in his hand. The blade just cut off the crossbow-holding arm. The Jingnan Kingdom scout who had been saved was furious. He was furious, his eyes widened and bloodshot, and he strode forward, intending to chop the broken-armed scout into pieces. He never thought that the young man in the distance said: "Don't kill to vent your anger, give him a good time, maybe We will end up like this one day."
Although the Jingnan Kingdom scout was furious, he still nodded, silently moved forward, stabbed the man on the ground in the neck, twisted his wrist, and quickly Pull out.
Not long after, the three cavalry scouts returned, with the head of the Wuling Kingdom's escaped cavalry in their hands. The headless body was placed on the back of an auxiliary horse.
The young soldier reached out and took the sword handed over by a subordinate scout. He gently put the sword back into its scabbard, walked to the headless corpse, and searched out a pile of military intelligence collected by the other party.
The young soldier leaned on his horse and carefully read through the intelligence reports. He remembered something and raised his head and ordered: "After my brother's body was collected, the enemy scout beheaded him, collected the body, dug a hole and buried it." ."
One of the strong scouts said sadly: "Chief Gu Biao, this kind of dirty work has to be done by the troops stationed nearby."
Young Wu. The soldier smiled and said, "I won't let your work be in vain. For my two heads, you can decide among yourselves who should give them to me this time."
Cheers broke out from all over.
In the end, this group of Jingnan Kingdom scouts with astonishing combat power roared away.
On the tree in the dense forest beside the road, Sui Jingcheng's face was pale. From beginning to end, she said nothing.
Chen Pingan asked: "Why don't you ask me to save people?"
Sui Jingcheng just shook his head.
The two led their horses out of the dense forest. After Chen Pingan got on his horse, he turned his head and looked towards the end of the road. The young soldier appeared in the distance and stopped his horse. After a while, the man grinned.Smiling, he nodded towards the green shirt, then turned his horse's head and left silently.
Sui Jingcheng asked: "Is he a master of martial arts hidden in the army?"
Chen Pingan gently clamped the horse's belly, and rode forward slowly, shaking his head and saying: " It didn't take long for him to reach the third level. He should have achieved this level through fighting on the battlefield. It's amazing."
Sui Jingcheng was a little confused.
Because for a swordsman who casually killed Xiao Shuye, how could a border soldier who was no more than a warrior in the third realm be worthy of the term "very remarkable"?
Chen Pingan said: "Probably most of all the people on the mountaintops in the world have walked here step by step."
The two riders rode together, because they were not in a hurry. As they were hurrying, the horses' hooves were gentle and not hurried. Sui Jingcheng asked curiously: "What about the remaining people?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Good luck."
Sui Jingcheng Wu Be true to your word.
Chen Pingan said: "There are some things that you didn't have when you were born, and you may not have them in this life. There is nothing you can do about it, you have to accept your fate."
A moment later , Chen Pingan smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter, there are still many things that we can win by ourselves. If we keep staring at those things that are destined to be gone, we will really have nothing."
Sui Jingcheng It makes sense.
But when she thought about her life situation, she felt a little guilty.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Isn't it better to be born with it? What's so embarrassing about it?"
Sui Jingcheng probably felt that he had benefited a lot. He was silent for a moment and then turned around. The head smiled and said: "Senior, can you just let me say a few words from the bottom of my heart?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Shut up."
After the power fence, Sui Jingcheng's eyes were filled with resentment and he pursed his lips. Purse your lips.
The two riders continued their journey north.
I have seen the brutal fight when they meet on a narrow road, and later I have seen the beautiful scene of children running after yellow butterflies and flying into cauliflower to find nowhere.
There was also the noise of a group of country children chasing their two cavalry figures.
On the top of a famous mountain, they accidentally met a Taoist monk in the sunset. He was hovering in the wind near an ancient pine tree with a knotted posture on the cliff, spreading out rice paper. , paint slowly. When he saw them, he just smiled and nodded, and then the master of painting on the mountain went to work painting the ancient pine trees, and finally left quietly in the night.
Sui Jingcheng raised his eyes and looked at the retreating figure of the Qi practitioner.
Chen Pingan began to walk away.
After Sui Jingcheng looked away, he asked cautiously: "Senior, if I have cultivated the immortal method and encounter that kind of border fighting, can I save people if I want to?"
< p>Chen Pingan said: "Of course. But you have to think about whether you can bear the consequences that you can't imagine. For example, the scout was rescued by you and fled back to Wuling Kingdom, and the intelligence and military information was successfully handed over to the border army. generalIt may be shelved and useless, it may be a provocation on the border and hundreds of thousands more people die, or it may even affect the whole body, and the two countries will fight, and the lives will be devastated, and eventually thousands of miles away will starve to death, and the victims will be everywhere.Sui Jingcheng was silent.
Chen Pingan kept walking and said slowly: "So it is said that people who practice Taoism are not stained by the world of mortals and stay away from the world. They are not all indifferent and ruthless." Hearty. It doesn't matter if you don't understand this for the time being. I only slowly figured it out after I started practicing real practice and tried to look at the world at the foot of the mountain from a different perspective. Did you forget that I reviewed the town on the top of Mount Zhengrongfeng with you before? In that chess game, who do you think should be saved? Who should be helped? That Lin Shu who was foolishly loyal to the former emperor? Or the scholar who has already figured out his own way out? Or those young people who died in vain in the lobby of Zhengrongmen? It seems that the last kind of people should be saved the most, but have you ever thought about what will happen to Lin Shu after you save them? What will happen to the scholar's restoration of the country? Going a little further, the emperor of Jinfei Kingdom and the previous emperor, regardless of whether they are good or bad. Damn, who of the two parties has contributed more to the common people of a country, do you want to know? What should those Jianghu people who know the truth and are still willing to die generously for the former prince do? Are you happy to be a good person, be high-spirited, and wield a sword like a rainbow? ”
Sui Jingcheng nodded gently and sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff. The breeze blew on her face. But he did not sit down next to her, "Being a good person is not what I think, and doing good things is not what I think. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with being a Taoist. You can see more and further. "
Chen Ping'an took out the hiking stick that had not been seen for a long time, held it with both hands, and shook it slightly, "But when there are more people who practice Taoism, there will be some troubles, because those who pursue absolute freedom There will be more and more strong ones. And even if these people only take one or two actions, it will cause earth-shaking movements in the world. Sui Jingcheng, let me ask you, will a stool or chair shake if you sit on it for a long time? "
Sui Jingcheng thought for a while, "It should... definitely be possible, right? "
Chen Pingan turned around and looked, "Have you never seen a rocking chair in your life? "
Sui Jingcheng said nothing, blinked his eyes, and looked a little innocent.
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Have you never seen him before? "
Sui Jingcheng was a little embarrassed.
The Sui family is one of the first-class wealthy families in Wuling Kingdom.
Chen Pingan rubbed his chin and said with a smile: " How can I continue talking about this? ”
So he put away his hiking pole and continued walking.
Sui Jingcheng was a little disappointed, but also a little happy for no reason.
She herself was also She didn't understand, but what did it matter?
Anyway, it was still far away from the Fairy Ferry in Green Ying Country, and they were not walking fast.
She suddenly turned her head. He asked with a smile: "Senior, I want to drink! ”
The man said: “You can spend money to buy it.To discuss, otherwise no discussion. "
She smiled and said: "No matter how expensive it is, I will buy it! "
As a result, the man shook his head and said: "At first glance, it seems that he owes money on credit, so there is no need to talk about it. "
Sui Jingcheng sighed and fell to the ground. The stars in the sky were like the most beautiful treasure inlay, hanging above the lights of thousands of houses in the world.
