Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

With Liu Rugong right in front of him, Lin Rufei couldn't possibly say what he was going to slip out of, so he just said a few perfunctory words and fooled it.Fortunately, Liu Rugong didn't delve into it, but just took a big red invitation card in his hand, and handed it to Lin Rufei.

The invitation was like a hot potato, but Lin Rufei had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that Lin Rufei had accepted the invitation, Liu Rugong knew that he was sure of this great gift, and was a little eager to try for a while, holding Luoshen's hand and rubbing it, looking very itchy, with an expression that wanted to put Lin Rugong away immediately. Rufei pulls out to compete with him.

"I'm going to get married soon. I'm afraid I'll be busy for a while. I don't know when Young Master Lin will be free. Why don't we make an appointment in advance." Liu Rugong sat in front of Lin Rufei, begging for it naturally. wedding ceremony.

Lin Rufei thought for a moment, and said frankly: "To be honest, Mr. Liu, I have been weak since I was a child, so I have never practiced swordsmanship."

Liu Rugong's smile faded instantly, and he looked at Lin Rufei expressionlessly, "What do you mean by Mr. Lin, you mean that a character like Wang Teng was defeated by someone who had never practiced swordsmanship? "He said coldly, "If Mr. Lin didn't treat me as a friend, Liu Rugong, you can just say it, why would you need to make such an excuse?" He pulled out Luoshen with a "clang", and stared at Lin Rufei coldly. , "Since Mr. Lin doesn't regard me as a friend, then if you want to fight with Mr. Lin, you don't have to pick a date."

It seems that this fight must be fought, Lin Rufei sighed and said: "Since Mr. Liu insists on this, let's make it three days later."

Liu Rugong's gloomy expression faded instantly when he heard the words, and he took out a delicate paper bag from his bosom with a smile, put it on the table, and said, "Mr. Lin, please don't be angry with me, I am just like this. No one can compare swords with me, it would be better to die. This is the dragon beard cake made by my third sister, which is considered unique in this Gusu city. You apologized."

Liu Rugong has always acted without scruple, and it is not easy to say soft words.

Lin Rufei didn't move the things on the table, but called Fuhua to see off the guests.

Fuhua outside the house heard the sound and pushed the door in. Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, she muttered in her heart. Liu Rugong waved her hand indifferently, said goodbye, turned around and left, very happy. After Fuhua sent him out, Lin Rufei was left alone in the house.

Gu Xuandu asked him: "Unhappy?"

Lin Rufei shook her head: "It's not that she's unhappy, it's just that she's a little envious."

Gu Xuandu said: "Envy? Envy Liu Rugong?"

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "If I had his talent, I would have developed such an unbridled temperament." He picked up the paper bag on the table, opened it, and saw the dragon beard crisps inside. , It should be freshly made, with some heat, he took out a piece and put it in his mouth, it was soft and melted in the mouth, and the rich soybean aroma spread in his mouth.

Lin Rufei thought it tasted good, so she handed it to Gu Xuandu.

Gu Xuan was not polite, took a big bite, and asked: "Are you not angry?"

Lin Rufei shook her head: "It's true that I'm not angry, but it's not good to appear too good-tempered in front of Liu Rugong, lest I lose the name of the Lin family." His brothers and sisters are all so proud, if they meet Liu Rugong What Gong did, I'm afraid they would fight him on the spot—no, maybe they didn't even need Liu Rugong to force them, they would readily agree to a contest with Liu Rugong.

It's a pity that Liu Rugong wanted to compare swords with him.

"You can try it now." Gu Xuandu seemed to be very interested in this dragon beard crisp, and he ate it with relish, "Anyway, this willow is like a bow, even if you can't control the power, you won't have to took his life."

Lin Rufei frowned: "But there are so many people in Gusu City, if I don't control my power well, I can go down with a sword..." This is not as easy as cutting the top of Beifeng Mountain, there are so many people in the city.

Gu Xuandu lazily said: "Then choose a place far away from Gusu."

Lin Rufei thought about it, and felt that this was the only way to go.

There are still three days before the sword competition, and Lin Rufei feels like cramming, but this kind of thing cannot be practiced in a short time. Although he can barely attach the sword energy to Gu Yu, he has tried a few times. After the first time, I dare not do anything.Either there was no response after swinging it out, or a slight swing made an exaggerated crack in the wall in front of him. Fortunately, there was no one in the room, otherwise people would be killed on the spot. The innkeeper didn't dare to bother Lin Rufei, so in the end Lin Rufei asked Fuhua to send some more silver taels as compensation.

After three days of trying like this, seeing that tomorrow is the day to compete with Liu Rugong, Lin Rufei felt that this matter was really unreliable. Liu Rugong split, there is absolutely no third possibility.

Gu Xuan had nothing to do, so he gave Lin Rufei a bad idea, saying that during the sword competition, he would talk to Liu Rugong first, and before he could react, he would go over with the sword first, and the matter would be settled like this.Anyway, it was Liu Rugong's own request, even if Liu Rugong was killed, the Liu family would not be able to trouble him.

Lin Rufei made a gesture of admiration to Gu Xuandu: "When seniors compete with others, do you often do this?"

Gu Xuandu thought for a moment, and said frankly that he had really done such a thing, but he was still young at that time, and he didn't have to be shameless. He didn't pay attention to these things for his own life, unlike later on when he became famous. Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't Feel free to do it.

Lin Rufei immediately fell in love with Gu Xuandu.

"Hey, little leek, you're just too soft-hearted." Gu Xuandu said, "Sword competition is a matter of life and death, and don't worry, I'm here to guarantee that you can swing this sword." Anyway, it wasn't Lin Rufei who died, so he didn't have to worry at all.

Lin Rufei didn't bother to pay attention to him, yawned and turned to go to bed.

She was a little tired from practicing swords during the day, but Lin Rufei slept very soundly this time. When she woke up in the morning, she accidentally saw Fuhua and Yurui with sad faces. Because she was afraid that the maid would worry, Lin Rufei didn't want him to marry Liu Rufei. Speaking of the matter of bow and sword, seeing the two of them like this, I feel a little strange in my heart.

"What are the two of them worried about?" Lin Rufei asked Gu Xuandu.

There was a deep smile in Gu Xuandu's eyes: "It probably feels that my young master's hysteria talking to himself is more serious."

Lin Rufei: "..."

Gu Xuandu said: "I guess I have already sent several letters to Wan Yao urging him to prescribe medicine?"

Lin Rufei sighed faintly, and said after a while, "Let them go."

The location of the sword competition agreed with Liu Rugong was originally in the Liu Mansion, but Lin Rufei was really worried that she could not control the sword energy and hurt the innocent, so she asked Liu Rugong to change to a suburb outside the city where it is not easy to hurt people.

It doesn't matter where Liu Rugong is, as long as Lin Rufei is willing to have a fight with him, that's enough.

The weather was fine that day, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the scorching heat was transpiring, creating a noisy cicada.

Lin Rufei's body was cold, but she really liked summer. Seeing that the time agreed with Liu Rugong was about to come, she bought a refreshing mung bean soup on the street, drank it and slowly wandered out of Gusu City.

The time they agreed on was in the afternoon, when the weather was at its hottest.Lin Rufei didn't open an umbrella either, and when she braved the scorching sun and reached the outside of the city, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on her forehead and face.

Of course, compared to him, Liu Rugong looked much more embarrassed. He was obviously very hot, and he picked up a hat made of lotus leaves from somewhere, and was squatting under the shade of a tree, fanning the wind with his hands. , and the sleeves were rolled up to the arms, he looked like a farmer who had just come out of the field, and he still had the unrestrained appearance before.

Seeing Lin Rufei coming from afar, Liu Rugong showed a look of impatience, stood up and called Mr. Lin, but his eyes fell on the mung bean soup in Lin Rufei's hand.

This mung bean soup is placed in a bowl made of lotus leaves, and it is specially chilled with well water, exuding a refreshing taste.Lin Rufei also noticed Liu Rugong's longing eyes, but he was unmoved, and mercilessly drank the mung bean soup in one gulp, then smiled and called Mr. Liu.

Liu Rugong gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and drew his sword.Luoshen unsheathed, the blade was like silver light, exuding a cold killing intent: "Young Master Lin, draw your sword."

Lin Rufei said yes with a serious face, and then put her hand into the Xuna ring. After a while, she took out a black wooden shield from it - this is the perfect combination of two things that he thought up all night yesterday. method.

For a moment, Liu Rugong even thought he was hallucinating. He stared at the wooden shield for a long time, making sure that he was not dazzled and mistook the sword blade for a shield, and then hissed: "Mr. What is it?"

Lin Rufei introduced: "Wooden shield."

Liu Rugong: "What's so special about this shield? Oh, I see, is there a sword inserted in it!"

He has seen such a weapon before, although it is a bit special, it does exist.

Unexpectedly, the young master of the Lin family who was standing opposite shook his head very calmly: "No."

Liu Rugong: "..."

Lin Rufei said: "It's the kind bought on the street, one tael of silver, oh, and the store gave me ten pennies cheaper."

Liu Rugong's hot and sweaty handsome face instantly distorted, and he stared at Lin Rufei fiercely. After confirming that he was not joking, all his anger turned into a strong killing intent: "Mr. Lin, you look down on me!" I willow like a bow?"

Lin Rufei said: "Of course not."

Liu Rugong said: "Then why won't you draw your sword?!"

Lin Rufei thought it was because I was not very proficient, but her face was still indifferent, and said: "When Mr. Liu breaks my shield, I will draw my sword soon."

Liu Rugong was furious, he had never been insulted like this before.He became famous as a young man and is the second son of the Liu family. When he was in a sword competition, he saw his opponent take out a wooden shield, and he deliberately reiterated that it was bought for a tael of silver——

How much does this look down on Liu Rugong? !

Although Lin Rufei didn't have such intentions in her heart, it seemed that Liu Rugong wouldn't listen to his explanation, so she had no choice but to smack her mouth lightly, quietly savoring the delicious mung bean soup just now , thinking in his heart that he should leave a mouthful for Liu Rugong, at least let him calm down...

Liu Rugong's eyes were red with anger, and Luoshen in his hand also had a layer of blue sword intent, like a thin flame attached to the snow-white blade, he held the blade at an angle, and walked swiftly, Swing the first sword at Lin Rufei.

The sword energy was majestic, mixed with a strong killing intent, and the soil under his feet was smashed to pieces, forming shocking cracks. Liu Rugong's figure began to distort. I don't know if it was because of the scorching air, or The sword energy on Luoshen was like a blue flame.

Lin Rufei raised the ordinary wooden shield in her hand.

Luoshen and the wooden shield collided, and a strong wind blew up, shaking Lin Rufei's sleeves. However, his footsteps were as steady as a mountain, and he stubbornly resisted the blow without taking half a step back.The wooden shield in his hand actually emitted sword energy, like a perfect white barrier, forcibly blocking Luoshen and Qing Yan at the other end.

Liu Rugong showed a look of astonishment, but soon, the astonishment turned into the excitement of meeting his opponent. He let out a roar, and Luoshen took him into the air, and then flew towards Lin Rufei like a falling star. Second sword.

Lin Rufei remained motionless.

The second sword pierced the wooden shield, but it still didn't break it at all. The barrier formed by the white sword intent seemed to be an unbreakable armor, and Liu Rugong's sword pierced it like a scratch.

But Liu Rugong didn't care at all, one sword, two swords, three swords, four swords - his speed became faster and faster, his figure gradually turned into an afterimage, and Luoshen, who originally only had one sword, was actually thrown out by him. It looks like a rain of swords all over the sky.

The trees around Lin Rufei fell down like wheat waves blown down by a strong wind, and even the city gate in the distance was not spared.

The white sword energy on the wooden shield gradually faded as Liu Rugong continued to consume. Seeing this scene, Luoshen Qingyan was even worse. In Liu Rugong's red eyes, the excitement almost turned into Essence - he doesn't believe in Luoshen, and he has an unbreakable shield, not to mention this ordinary wooden shield that only cost one tael of silver.

The white sword energy was about to dissipate at last, Liu Rugong called Lin Rufei's name.

Lin Rufei stood at the same spot holding the wooden shield, his expression neither sad nor happy, he was a different person in peacetime, he felt the blue flames in front of him that were constantly eroding his sword intent, and he had a sense of familiarity ...It seemed that he had encountered such a fierce sword intent before, but that sword intent was a hundred times more ferocious than this time.

Liu Rugong saw Lin Rufei's expression, and there was hatred on his face. He realized that Lin Rufei had lost his mind under his onslaught. His gaze seemed to have passed through his body. Looking at the nothingness in the distance.

"Lin Rufei!" Feeling an unprecedented insult, Liu Rugong shouted angrily, "What are you looking at?! I'm the one fighting you!"

Another blow, the white blade finally made a crisp sound, but before Liu Rugong could show his joy, he saw Lin Rufei who was standing motionless, raised his hand and waved the wooden shield in his hand.

A huge force came suddenly, and before Liu Rugong could react, it slammed heavily on his body.He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he flew out like a kite with a broken string.Before flying out, he seemed to see countless sharp sword blades hanging around Lin Rufei in a trance, and Lin Rufei stood indifferently in the sword rain, his eyes were as cold as ice, not like ordinary people.

Lin Rufei didn't even need to draw a sword to deal with him... Before fainting, this was the only thought that remained in Liu Rugong's mind.

Liu Rugong fainted, and Luoshen's violent blue flame sword energy also subsided. Xia Tian didn't wear much at all, and Lin Rufei didn't know how to protect her body with sword energy, so her clothes were scraped and tattered, not only the sleeves were gone , also revealing a white waistline.The long hair, which was neatly tied up, was also messily scattered on the shoulders. Coupled with the pale complexion, if one only looked at the appearance, one might think that the loser in this competition was Lin Rufei.

"It's over?" Lin Rufei looked at Gu Xuandu, he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

Gu Xuandu nodded.

"Where is Liu Rugong?" Lin Rufei asked.

"Lying there, I was knocked out by you." Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei with a helpless look. All other swordsmen use swords, but his family relies on the natural sword energy in their bodies to use shields. It's getting easier to use.

Lin Rufei let out a sigh, breathed a sigh of relief, and put the wooden shield back into her ring.He walked forward for a certain distance, only to see Liu Rugong lying on the ground and had passed out, but even if he passed out, Luoshen was still holding him in his hand.

Lin Rufei said, "Is he all right?"

Gu Xuandu said: "It should be just a skin trauma, nothing serious." Too strong and easy to break, Liu Rugong's offensive is too fierce, and he has suffered a disadvantage. If he grinds slowly, it may not be Lin Rufei who wins in the end .However, Liu Rugong's temperament is obviously not the kind of person who works slowly and meticulously.

Lin Rufei squatted down, sniffed his breath, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was fine. He glanced at his tattered clothes, and said distressedly: "I forgot to bring my clothes, so I just walked back. Will they misunderstand something when they see it?"

Gu Xuan thought about Lin Rufei's two maids who were too worried to sleep, and said, "I guess I don't want to sleep today."

Lin Rufei thought for a moment, then silently shifted her gaze to Liu Rugong who was in a coma.

Gu Xuan felt something in his heart and said, "What are you doing?"

Lin Rufei said: "Liu Rugong said, we are friends, right?"

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Lin Rufei said eloquently: "Since we are friends, we should do a little favor, and besides, he even took my gift money——"

Gu Xuan understood what Lin Rufei meant, and couldn't laugh or cry: "You..."

Lin Rufei had already happily extended her hand to Liu Rugong, intending to strip off his clothes and make do with them. After all, if he returned to the inn in such a tattered state, he would be bumped into by Fuhua Yurui and the others. Now, the maid, who was already anxious and unable to sleep, might become even more anxious.

Lin Rufei buried her head and was earnestly unbuttoning Liu Rugong, but Luoshen, who was held by Liu Rugong, suddenly emitted a puff of green smoke, and then a woman's voice sternly reprimanded: "Mr. Lin, what do you want to do to me?" Ru Gong what to do!"

Lin Rufei was taken aback, and when she looked up, she saw the woman in Tsing Yi who she saw standing on the roof that day standing behind Liu Rugong.She was born extremely beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, as beautiful as an autumn moon. At this time, her eyebrows were cold, and her eyes were full of condemnation when she looked at Lin Rufei.

"Luoshen?" Lin Rufei stared in surprise, "You are the sword spirit of Luoshen?!"

The woman disdains: "What does it have to do with you!"

Lin Rufei sized her up and sighed: "I also thought that Liu Rugong was a sword idiot, so it turned out that he was so stubborn because he was accompanied by beauty."

The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and she snorted softly: "Even if you praise me so much, I won't allow you to cheat on him!"

Lin Rufei said: "Did you cheat on him? Why did you cheat?" He tore his clothes aggrievedly, and said, "He wanted me to compete with swords, and he also beat my clothes to pieces. I'll go back in this suit."

Luoshen was at a loss for words.

As Lin Rufei spoke, she became confident: "Besides, I treat him as a friend, and he won't even help me with this little favor?!"

Luoshen had nothing to say, he could only stare at those round almond eyes, bit his lower lip, and finally choked out a sentence: "Then...you can't take off those pants."

Lin Rufei waved her hand: "It's okay, my pants are fine."

So under the watchful eyes of both Luoshen and Gu Xuan, Lin Rufei happily stripped Liu Rugong's upper body and put on his clothes.This Liu Rugong was a bit stronger than Lin Rufei, and his clothes were a bit too big, but fortunately, they were just doable anyway.It's just that Gu Xuandu sighed faintly beside him, saying that he would always remember to prepare new clothes for Lin Rufei before he got into a fight.

The weather was too hot, Lin Rufei pulled Liu Rugong under the shade of a tree, and then slipped away first, he didn't want to wait for Liu Rugong to wake up and ask him for clothes.

Luoshen was a little dazed by Lin Rufei's action, maybe he was thinking about why this Jianghu is so terrible, it's fine if he loses the competition, and he can't even keep a piece of clothes.

Lin Rufei happily returned to Gusu City, bought another bowl of mung bean soup, and chatted with Gu Xuandu about Luoshen and Liu Rugong.Now seeing such a beautiful Luoshen, Liu Rugong's marriage has become logical, but Gu Xuandu's expression has been very strange, until Lin Rufei asked when he arrived at the inn, he said: "It stands to reason that most people look at I don’t see the sword spirit.”

Lin Rufei: "Ah? What do you mean?"

Gu Xuandu said: "I mean Liu Rugong shouldn't be able to see Luoshen."

Lin Rufei said, "Then how did I see it?"

Gu Xuandu said: "You are different, you...have a raging sword intent in your body, you are not an ordinary person."

Lin Rufei said, "Who is that?"

Gu Xuan thought it over and over again, and choked out two words: "Sword man?"

Lin Rufei: "..." I always feel that something is not quite right.

Gu Xuandu also noticed that the words sounded weird, the two looked at each other, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice: "No, I didn't scold you."

Lin Rufei said quietly, "I believe it."

Gu Xuandu showed helplessness.

After a while, Lin Rufei asked again: "But didn't you see it too?"

Gu Xuandu said: "I'm not human either."

Lin Rufei: "..." The conversation between the two of them became more and more strange.

"Do you remember that night? Liu Rugong couldn't see Luoshen." Gu Xuan felt that this made no sense, "But if he couldn't see Luoshen, why did he insist on marrying him?"

Lin Rufei drank her mung bean soup and shook her head lazily, "How would I know." He couldn't figure it out.

Things that were logical at first became illogical again when Gu Xuandu said so. Lin Rufei guessed that maybe Liu Rugong had his own way to see Luoshen.

Gu Xuandu couldn't help shaking his head: "There are too few such methods, even I only know one or two, how could Liu Rugong know."

The two discussed their doubts for a long time until one night, when Lin Rufei, who was about to go to bed, heard someone knocking lightly on the window, Gu Xuan helped him open the window, and saw Luoshen floating outside the window with a look of disbelief on his face. looked at him nervously.

Before Lin Rufei opened his mouth to ask, Luoshen said awkwardly: "Young Master Lin, can you please do me a favor?"

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I didn't mean to scold you.

Lin Rufei: Really?

Gu Xuandu: In our place, people who combine human and sword are referred to as swordmen.

Lin Rufei: Are you saying that he didn't get beaten?

Gu Xuandu: Anyway, they can't beat me.

Lin Rufei: ...All right.
