Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Chapter 42 The Swordsman's Gift

The sea dongqing in Liu Ruarch's hand is very beautiful.With shrugged shoulders and tight tail, carved head and swan back, she is a standard beauty.Lin Bianyu also raised a blue-feathered sea dongqing named Qingluan. Lin Rufei grew up watching it, so she knew a little about this handsome bird.

Seeing that Lin Rufei was quite interested in his bird, Liu Rugong introduced, "It's called Liaoshan. It's only one year old this year. It's a girl, but it's just that it has a bad temper."

All things are like the master, this Liaoshan raised his neck slightly, his haughty appearance was somewhat similar to Liu Rugong, but Liu Rugong obviously didn't notice it, pampering Liaoshan's head, watching To Lin Rufei: "Mr. Lin, do you want to try?"

Lin Rufei smiled and refused: "No."

Playing with hawks is quite a private matter, and the master generally doesn't like other people to play with his hawks, so Liu Rugong should be polite to him, and he'd better be more informed.

The two talked while walking on the street. Many people on the side of the street cast their gazes cautiously, but most of them were fearful. It seemed that Liu Rugong really had a lot of power in Gusu City.

Liu Rugong didn't realize it, and led Lin Rufei all the way forward, saying that the drinks in this shop are good, and the gold-studded silks and satins in that shop are excellent, if you have the chance, remember to buy two, the female family members in the family will definitely love it. like.Lin Rufei listened with great interest, and it was not until he had walked around half of Gusu City that Liu Rugong finally got down to business. He stared at Lin Rufei with piercing eyes, as if he was about to shoot something out on him. He opened a hole and called out, "Mr. Lin."

Lin Rufei was taken aback by his expression: "Huh?"

Liu Ru bowed: "I heard that you were on Kunlun Mountain, and you once had a sword match with someone?"

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"The swordsman is called Wang Teng?" Liu Rugong asked.

I didn't expect him to be so well-informed. Not only did he know that Lin Rufei had a sword match with someone, but he even knew the name of the swordsman.Lin Rufei said, "You know him?"

Liu Rugong said: "I know." With a wave of his hand, Liaoshan, who had been resting on his arm, waved his wings and brought up a gust of wind, heading towards the sky, "I met him by chance in Gusu City. once."

Probably on the way to Kunlun, Wang Teng took a night's rest in the city, took a pot of wine, and sat on the top of the tallest attic in the city, overlooking the dimly lit Gusu City.

Liu Rugong happened to bump into him, and immediately saw the long sword named Qingji hanging on Wang Teng's waist. His eyes fell on it, and he couldn't look away until Wang Teng pointed at him through the bamboo hat. Cast a bad look.The swordsman's sword, being stared at so rudely, anyone would feel displeased if it was changed, not to mention Wang Teng's bad temper.

"Your sword is not bad." Liu Rugong walked to Wang Teng's side, sat down, and stretched out his hand towards Wang Teng's jug, wanting to ask for a drink.Unexpectedly, Wang Teng didn't save face for the most difficult son of the Liu family in Gusu City at all. He directly ignored Liu Rugong who was begging for wine. chills.If this was an ordinary person, he might have retreated in spite of the difficulties, but who was Liu Rugong, he was the most troublesome second young master of the Liu family, so facing Wang Teng's indifference, he was not moved at all, and instead became more interested.

"Where are you going?" Liu Rugong said, "Why did you come here to drink?"

"Competition of swords." Although his tone was cold, Wang Teng answered anyway.

"Oh?" When mentioning the sword, Liu Rugong became eager to try, "Are you going to Kunlun? Who do you plan to compete with?"

The Lin family is well-known, and almost every year, countless swordsmen go to Kunlun one after another, either to compete with swords or to watch the battle, which is very lively.And there is only one road to Kunlun, which must pass through Gusu City, then turn over Xiliang Mountain, and go all the way along the Canglan River to arrive.

"The Lin family." Wang Teng said.

"The Lin family? Which Lin family? Lin Weirui is still traveling outside, could it be Lin Minzhi... But it is not easy to compete with him." Liu Ru bowed.

Unexpectedly, Wang Teng shook his head.

Seeing this, Liu Rugong wondered: "Could it be that you want to find Lin Bianyu? Tsk tsk tsk, seeing that you are so young, you don't want to live anymore. Even I was defeated by Lin Bianyu's sword, what about you? I'm afraid his subordinates can't do more than ten moves."

Wang Teng looked up at him, sneered, and ignored him.

The smile on Liu Rugong's face faded slightly, and the next moment he raised his hand and snatched Wang Teng's flagon, and poured it into his mouth.When Wang Teng didn't notice for a while, he snatched him upright, and angrily said: "You are from the Central Plains, why are you so rude!"

Liu Rugong drank the wine in a few sips, then threw the jug back into Wang Teng's hands, and said seriously: "Since I drank your wine, I owe you a favor, and I can't just watch you Go to die, come, come, since you want to compete with Lin Bianyu, you should pass my test first, I have a better temper than him, so I spare your life." He also opened his mouth and came, ashamed to say that he was better than Lin Bianyu. Bianyu has such a good temper, if his family finds out, they will definitely laugh at him for doing everything he can to compete with swords.

Wang Teng stared at Liu Rugong coldly, as if staring at a desperate lunatic, and said, "I didn't go to Lin Bianyu for a sword competition."

"Oh?" Liu Rugong wondered, "Who are you looking for?"

"Lin Rufei." Wang Teng said.

Lin Rufei?Liu Rugong had heard of this name, but he had only heard of it, but he had never seen anyone. It was rumored that this Lin Rufei was weak and unable to practice swords since he was a child, so he seldom showed his face in front of people.For such a person, Liu Rugong really has no interest.

"Oh? Could it be that Lin Fei is also a powerful character?" Liu Rugong was very interested.

Wang Teng glanced at him and stopped talking. He obviously didn't like Liu Rugong who was acting like a fool, but he didn't want to cause trouble, so he turned around and left with the flagon.How could Liu Rugong let go of such an interesting person so easily, he raised his hand and pulled out Luoshen, but before he could draw his sword, the person in front of him turned into an afterimage and disappeared directly in front of him. Seeing Wang Teng disappearing together with Liu Rugong's strands of hair from his temples, he froze in place, not seeing when the other party pulled out the sword.

From then on, Liu Rugong firmly remembered the name Wang Teng.

Later, I heard that he went to Kunlun to find Lin Rufei for a sword competition, but was defeated by Lin Rufei's men. After sighing that it was a pity, he put this matter behind him.Until yesterday, when he returned home, he casually talked about meeting the four sons of the Lin family. After being reminded, he suddenly remembered that Lin Rufei was the one who competed with Wang Teng, so today Liu Rugong changed his mind from yesterday. With that indifferent attitude, he even offered to take Lin Rufei around.

Lin Rufei was indeed a person that made him uninterested. Although the fourth son of the Lin family was handsome and elegant, his body looked very weak, and there was no trace of sword energy on his body. It seemed that a gust of wind could blow him away. It seems to be blown down.Liu Rugong is only interested in the strong, like Lin Rufei, if it wasn't for the Kunlun Lin family, he wouldn't even ask a question.

However, this Lin Rufei didn't seem to be as harmless as he appeared. Liu Rugong narrowed his eyes with a smile, and unconsciously put his right hand down on Luoshen beside his waist, and said with a smile: "Young Master Lin, in a few days , is my big day, you have to give me Liu Rugong this face, remember to come to the banquet."

Lin Rufei was walking forward, when she heard Liu Rugong's words, she paused slightly: "...OK."

"I know what Mr. Lin is thinking, but it doesn't matter. If you have something to say, just say it. I don't mind." Liu Rugong said.

Lin Rufei turned her head and glanced at him, but didn't want to ask anymore. Although he was very curious, it was his private matter, and Liu Rugong was suddenly so enthusiastic. If things went wrong, there must be a demon. He always felt that this Mr. Liu What are you calculating.

Liu Rugong waited for a while, but saw that Lin Rufei looked away without interest, and said strangely: "Hey, Mr. Lin is not curious, why should I marry a sword?"

Lin Rufei said frankly: "Actually, I don't really want to know."

Liu Rugong: "..."

"If Mr. Liu really wants to talk, it's okay for me to listen." Lin Rufei said.

Liu Rugong obviously didn't expect Lin Rufei's reaction. In Gusu City, there was no one who was not curious about his marriage, but no one dared to come forward to comment. Lin Rufei was not interested at all.Liu Rufeng clicked his tongue, thinking that the young master of the Lin family really didn't play cards according to common sense.

But it doesn't matter, as it happens, he is also a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense, so Liu Rugong smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, we can be regarded as friends at first sight, right?"

Lin Rufei: "..." Why do these words sound so scary.

Liu Rugong said: "Really?"

What else could Lin Rufei answer, but she couldn't say that we didn't know each other well, so she nodded helplessly.

When Liu Rugong saw Lin Rufei nodding his head, he immediately beamed with joy: "Since we are friends, then I'm getting married, have you thought about what to give?"

It turned out that she was waiting for her here, Lin Rufei couldn't laugh or cry, she thought that this young master of the Liu family was really funny, in order to ask for a bride price, he beat around the bush like this.Just as he was about to speak, Liu Rugong said, "I don't want to bother Mr. Lin to prepare a special gift for me. Why don't you just grant me a small wish as a gift for my big wedding?"

Sure enough, Lin Rufei said, "What wish?"

Liu Rugong pressed Luoshen on his waist heavily, and said seriously: "Compete with me."

Lin Rufei said, "Use Luoshen?"

Liu Rugong said: "Naturally!"

Lin Rufei hesitated slightly: "But you just got married, and I fought with your new wife...would it be bad...?"

Liu Rugong's expression froze, and he choked half to death at Lin Rufei's words.Gu Xuan, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help laughing beside him, he actually saw his shadow from Liu Rugong's staring expression.I have to say that when the young master of the Lin family deliberately played tricks, it was really hard to resist.

Fortunately, Liu Rugong is not an ordinary person, after a moment of silence, he reached out and patted Lin Rufei on the shoulder carelessly, saying: "We are all brothers, what do you say, your sister-in-law is generous, she will definitely not mind -"

Lin Rufei had nothing to say immediately.

He insisted on successfully asking for a big gift from Lin Rufei, and Liu Rugong finally called back his Liaoshan, and left in a hurry.Lin Rufei stared at his back for a while without saying a word, then sighed after a while, and said, "How does this compare?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Be careful." He glanced at Lin Rufei, "Don't kill him with a sword."

Lin Rufei: "..."

These days, Gu Xuan has been carrying Fuhua and the others on his back, teaching him how to learn swords, but Lin Rufei is there, and his physical condition is not good, and his progress is extremely slow. Fortunately, he can barely attract the sword energy to Gu Yu It's up, although there is no suitable place to compare it, but it is much stronger than before.Gu Xuandu was not at all nervous about the contest between Lin Rufei and Liu Rugong, and urged Lin Rufei to try the golden silk shortbread sold on the street, saying that it looked delicious.

Lin Rufei bought two, one for each of Gu Xuandu, and walked back while eating.

When he went back, he happened to see Fu Hua coming out of the pharmacy next to the inn, his expression was a little nervous, he wanted to go up to ask a question, but suddenly remembered what he had overheard during the day, he stopped in his tracks, and sighed heavily tone.

Thinking that this medicine was bought for herself, after all, the problem of talking to herself became more and more serious. Lin Rufei thought about this, looked sadly at the unconscious senior beside her, and sighed faintly .

Gu Xuandu didn't realize that Fuhua's entry into the pharmacy had anything to do with him, and he was nibbling on the golden silk shortbread with relish. This pancake was just out of the pan, and a thin layer of white sugar was sprinkled on it. It was crispy on the outside and soft and sweet on the inside. The temperature is just right, very delicious.Seeing Lin Rufei looking at her with a bright smile, she said, "I haven't eaten this food for a long time, but the taste hasn't changed much."

Lin Rufei didn't say a word, and continued to gnaw with Gu Xuandu.

In the evening, Fuhua really brought the decoction, but she didn't dare to tell Lin Rufei the effect of the medicine, probably because she was afraid of increasing her son's psychological burden, she only said that the medicine has the effect of calming the nerves, and if she doesn't sleep well at night , Drinking it may have an effect.

Lin Rufei knew that she was worried about herself, so she obediently agreed, but took advantage of the floating flowers to go out, turned around and fell into the potted plant next to the window.

Gu Xuandu also asked strangely why he poured the medicine down.

Lin Rufei said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to see you if I drink it."

Gu Xuandu: "Huh?"

Lin Rufei said: "Isn't this the medicine to cure evil spirits?"

Only then did Gu Xuandu recall the conversations between the maids during the day, and he was speechless for a while.

It was getting late and it was another night, Lin Rufei still didn't feel much sleepiness, she was really bored, so she opened the window and sat by the bed watching the pedestrians on the street to relieve boredom.

Gusu City is not lonely at night. There are fiery red lanterns hanging on the streets, and the flow of people is endless. At first glance, it seems that it is more lively than in the daytime.Lin Rufei's eyesight was much better than before, and she could clearly see every interesting detail on the street.

A man and his beloved girl had an awkward fight, and found a quiet place at the end of the alley, explaining something with a frowning face, but the girl would not listen when she was angry, she pursed her lips and kept wiping away her tears, the man couldn't think about it Scratching her head, she suddenly turned around and left. The girl looked at his back and burst into tears, but the man appeared in the alley after a while, holding a golden candy in his hand. With a few strokes, he drew After seeing the charm of the girl, he didn't know what to say, but he reached out his hand clumsily and stuffed the candy into her mouth. After the girl ate the candy, she finally smiled through her tears, and gave the man a coquettish look with her tearful eyes.

Another child stood in front of the candied haws and couldn't move his feet, and the saliva was hanging on his mouth. The child's mother couldn't pull it away, so she stretched out her hands and twisted his ears. After splashing, the child's mother couldn't pull it, so she had no choice but to take out a few coins and bought a bunch of candied haws, and then coaxed the child away.

This city is busier than Kunlun, isn't it at 01:30, the world is filled with all kinds of things, the warmth and coldness of people, all of which entered Lin Rufei's eyes.He looked at it, with a smile on his lips, and the pink peach blossoms in his eyes were also faintly visible.

"Hey, isn't that Liu Rugong?" Gu Xuandu suddenly said.

"Where?" Lin Rufei asked.

Gu Xuandu pointed to the distance, Lin Rufei looked in the direction he pointed, but saw Liu Rugong sitting on the top of a tall building in the distance with a jug of wine, which was the highest place in Gusu City , I think the scenery is good.It's just that behind him, there seems to be a young woman standing, dressed in green gauze, standing silently, although she can't see her face clearly, but she can vaguely see her extraordinary demeanor.

Liu Rugong drank wine, compared with his usual flamboyant and surly appearance, he felt a little more lonely.Everywhere in the city was full of excitement and happiness arranged for him, but he seemed to have nothing to do with the excitement, he was just a passerby who passed by here and drank generously.

Lin Rufei looked at him, and after a long time, said softly: "That must be a good pot of wine."

"Hmm." Gu Xuandu said, "It should be a pot of good wine."

Liu Rugong drank for half the night, and the moon was high in the sky before he got up and left.During this period, the woman in Tsing Yi had been standing behind him, quietly accompanying him, but there was no conversation between the two of them, and he never looked back at her until they left.

Lin Rufei saw that Liu Rugong had left, but she still didn't feel sleepy. At this time, the street gradually became quiet, and most people fell into sweet dreams.Knocked three times more loudly, and the sound of "the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles" slowly swayed in the city of Gusu.

"Not sleepy yet?" Gu Xuandu asked.

"Not sleepy." Lin Rufei said, "I can't sleep well."

Gu Xuandu thought for a while: "Do you want to go there and have a look?" He pointed to the place where Liu Rugong had just left.

Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment, thinking that she couldn't fall asleep anyway, so she nodded.

Gu Xuandu saw that he was willing, so he gently grabbed his arm. Lin Rufei felt his body lighten, and was carried into the air by Gu Xuandu. Lin Rufei stepped on Gu Yu, followed Gu Xuandu's guidance, and landed on the tall building where Liu Rugong was drinking.

The scenery here is really beautiful.

Looking up, you can have a bird's-eye view of the entire Gusu City. The low-rise houses with blue bricks and white tiles, and the wealthy courtyards with pink walls and vermilion households are neatly arranged on both sides of the street like a chessboard. A clear river runs through the center of the city. And pass, all the way south.The lights on the street have been extinguished, the moonlight is like a waterfall, and the city is full of hoarfrost.

The night wind was a little strong, and Gu Xuan took out a cloak from somewhere, and put it on Lin Rufei's shoulders.Sitting next to Lin Rufei, he said with a slightly emotional tone, saying that he did not expect the scenery of Gusu City to be so different from a hundred years ago.

Lin Rufei said, "You came here a hundred years ago?"

Gu Xuan nodded.

Lin Rufei said: "How is Gusu different from the present?"

Gu Xuandu said: "At that time, the truce between the worlds of humans and monsters had just ceased, and the city of Gusu was in a mess, and there was not even a small shop selling alcohol. I was addicted to alcohol and was really greedy for alcohol, so I asked my friends to brew a few for me. Altar, the wine hadn't fully fermented, but just smelled of wine, so I secretly dug it out and drank most of it." As he said this, there was a gentle smile on the corners of his eyes and brows.

Lin Rufei said: "Is your old friend angry with you when he found out?"

"Later, when the battlefield shifted, we left here, and he forgot about it." Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei and said in a low voice, "But even if he finds out, he won't be angry with me. Bar."

Lin Rufei said: "Really, then he must be very kind to you."

"Yes, he is very good to me." Gu Xuandu said in a low voice, "I was brought up by him alone, so leave the best to me."

Lin Rufei originally wanted to ask him where his old friend is now, but after thinking about it, this happened a hundred years ago, maybe it would make people sad to ask, so she hummed lightly and said, "That's great."

Gu Xuan didn't say a word, just looked at Lin Rufei and kept smiling, there was some sadness that Lin Rufei couldn't understand hidden in the smile, and soon hid in the boundless night.

Unknowingly, morning light appeared in the sky, and the night passed like this. After Lin Rufei heard the crowing of the rooster, she finally felt a little drowsy. Seeing this, Gu Xuandu brought him back to the house.

Lying on the bed, Lin Rufei was thinking about the beautiful scenery of last night, and fell into a deep sleep. Gu Xuandu sat beside him, looked at his sleeping face, suddenly leaned over, and when he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep. On the eyelashes, a soft kiss fell.Lin Rufei didn't realize it, and was still soundly asleep.

Because she had no sleep last night, Lin Rufei slept until the afternoon before getting out of bed.When he got up, he saw that there was still hot food on the table, and he thought it was prepared by Fuhua and Yurui.He sat up from the bed, yawned lazily, and planned to go out and ask Xiao Er to prepare some hot water for washing, but he saw Fuhua Yurui standing at the door, looking extremely anxious, and when he came out, he called out in surprise Said young master.

"Young Master, you scared me to death." Yu Rui cried, "If you don't wake up, we're going to call the doctor over."

"Hey, the doctor here is really unreliable, how could he sleep for so long after taking that medicine." Fuhua said anxiously, "Let's send a letter back and let Wan Yao prescribe the medicine."

Seeing that the two had misunderstood, Lin Rufei hurriedly explained that it was because she slept too late last night, and it had nothing to do with the medicine.

Unexpectedly, Fuhua became even angrier when she heard this, saying that the medicine was supposed to soothe the nerves, but she couldn't fall asleep after drinking it!

Lin Rufei didn't dare to say that she didn't drink the medicine, so she just stood there and listened to the complaints of the maids.Fortunately, the two didn't talk for too long, they turned around to prepare hot water for Lin Rufei, Lin Rufei hurried back to the house, and told Gu Xuan that he would never stay up late again.

Gu Xuandu listened with a half-smile and said, don't let your body break down, Liu Rugong is still waiting for you to give gifts.

As soon as the gift was mentioned, Lin Rufei immediately frowned, and said: "Otherwise, let's leave the gift and slip away, anyway, he doesn't know."

Before Gu Xuandu could answer, there was a knock on the door outside, Lin Rufei thought it was a floating flower jade stamen, and came in.

Who knew that it was Liu Rugong who opened the door and entered, he said seriously: "Slip, Mr. Lin, who wants to slip?"

Lin Rufei: "..." Why are you so pervasive.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Is our relationship good enough?I'm getting married too, and I'm here to ask you for a big gift.

Lin Rufei: Whatever you want, just say it.

Gu Xuandu: Everything is ready for the wedding, and the only thing missing is a bride, so you can make a corner.

Lin Rufei: ...
