[Comprehensive Sword Three] Peach and plum are all over the world

From spring to autumn, Xuanji has been here for a year, and it has been a year since she left the Chu Palace. This year, she only did one thing, that is, practicing swords, repeated exercises, chopping, stabbing, Dot, flirt, collapse, there are no extra tricks, just practice the most basic strikes, occasionally Chu Ruo will practice with her for a while, most of them are a lot of boring practice.

This morning, Xuanji didn't see Chu Ruo, she just thought that Chu Ruo went out to buy ingredients, she was not suspicious.After getting up, I practiced in the courtyard, repeating the movements I had already memorized.

Not long after, Chu Ruo came back. What he brought back today was very special. It was neither food nor use, but a person, a man with unkempt hair and ragged clothes.

"Ruo." Xuanji put away her long sword and ran to Chu Ruo's side, "Who is he?"

"A prisoner bought from the death row." Chu Ruo forced the man to look up and meet Xuanji's gaze. "It's also the person you want to kill."

Xuanji followed Chu Ruo's words, and the man's cloudy eyes were originally numb. After hearing Chu Ruo's words, a fierce light burst out suddenly, and he laughed loudly, staring at Xuanji tightly.

Xuanji backed away frightened by those eyes. She couldn't help but look at Chu Ruo. In the past year, Chu Ruo asked her to kill fish, chickens, and deer. The most serious time was with a wounded horse. Hungry wolves fight, but today, Chu Ruo wants her to kill a person, an unarmed person.

"He is best at swords." Chu Ruo seemed to see through Xuanji's thoughts, "I will give him a sword."

Hearing this, the man laughed wildly, and he said hoarsely, "You will regret it."

"His strength is slightly better than yours by three chips." Chu Ruo untied the hemp rope, and threw a bronze sword at the man's feet, "If you are soft-hearted and slow to strike, you lose." Chu Ruo changed the phrase, " You are the one who died. But don't worry, after you die, the teacher will avenge you."

"I have already given enough money, your family will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives." Chu Ruo said to the man, "You can give it a go."

"Being cut in half in the city is death, and being killed by benefactor is also death." The man picked up the bronze sword on the ground, "It's a pleasure to have an extra life before death."

"What is the name of a strong man?" Chu Ruo asked while sitting on the table.

"Meng Da." Meng Da knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Ruo, "Thank you benefactor."

"Why?" Xuanji didn't seem to understand why Meng Da wanted to express his gratitude to Chu Ruo, since Chu Ruo would kill Meng Da.

"He was originally a prisoner on death row. I helped him out and gave money and goods to his family to keep them safe. Why didn't he thank me?" Chu Ruo didn't explain too much, he dialed a tune, "Let's start. "

As soon as the piano sounded, Meng Da made the first move, and a dead object became his best assistant in his hands, chopping, picking and stabbing.It is also the most basic move, but it has unimaginable effects.

Xuanji retreated in a row, and could only barely defend. The opponent's sword hit Xuanji continuously, forcing her to have no way to retreat.

"I will kill you." Meng Da's eyes are bright, more dazzling than the rising sun, but the malice inside is thicker than the night, "Slowly, I will kill you."

Xuanji took a breath, blocked Meng Da's attack, and shouted at Chu Ruo, "Ruo!"

"No one will save you on the battlefield." Chu Ruo played the most familiar spring snow, the tenderness between her brows and eyes seemed to be the first melting of ice and snow, and she had the best expectations, "No one."

"He won't save you." The two swords intersected, and Meng Da approached Xuanji's ear with malice, "You can only be alone, alone."

"Shut up." Xuanji pushed the long sword away, took three steps back, and clenched the weapon tightly, "I'm going to kill you!"

Swords, weapons for killing, weapons, weapons for destroying the country... You learn swords, and remember three points: self-defense, killing the enemy, demonstrating... the way of the piano, you can just taste it.

There were scratches on her arms, thighs, and waist. Even though Xuanji tried her best, she couldn't seriously injure Meng Da. Frustrated, she exposed her empty door and was caught by Meng Da.Meng Da swept Xuanji to the ground with a cross-leg sweep.

"You lost." Meng Da grinned grimly. He raised his long sword and was about to stab Xuanji.Suddenly, a passionate piano sounded, followed by Chu Ruo's voice.

"killed."

Subconsciously, Xuanji touched the long sword beside her, and stabbed at Meng Da with her eyes closed.

"En, benefactor." Meng Da couldn't believe it, he would not make a move as he had clearly agreed.

Chu Ruo walked over, he held Xuanji's hands, and said sharply, "Open your eyes, draw out your sword, I want you to watch him die with your own eyes."

Xuanji's face was full of tears, she shook her head and refused.She couldn't do it, she couldn't do it, she couldn't even believe it, she killed someone herself.

"It's unbearable." Chu Ruo let go of her hands and flung her sleeves away, as if she was extremely disappointed in Xuanji.

【She is still a child, Chu Ruo, you are too strict with her. 】The little monk ran out to say good things for Xuanji, 【She has done a good job. 】

Chu Ruo pursed her lips, said nothing, and sat with her back behind her back, looking as if she was facing the wall and thinking about the past.

Xuanji closed her eyes and thought for a long time. She tried hard to think of some beautiful things, such as her brother, such as Chu Ruo, or the rising sun, or the scene of snow in winter, but no matter what she thought, those pictures were covered with Bloody, became very scary.

She opened it, no longer thinking about it, but turned her head sideways, constantly adjusting her mentality, trying to see Meng Da who fell on the ground.

The blood flowed out from the wound and went in all directions. It first stained the grass stems red, then slowly penetrated down, and finally came to Xuanji's side, hesitated for a while, then climbed on the shoes and merged with it.

Xuanji followed the blood stains under her feet and saw that Meng Da was lying there, her gray pupils reflecting the sky, blue sky, white clouds, and a dazzling light.

She just looked at the sky in Meng Da's eyes, walked over slowly and took out the sword, feeling how the thing in her hand could determine the life and death of others, this is the feeling of killing people.Xuanji shifted her gaze to the sword, and the half-frozen blood flowed down the blood groove and dripped into the soil.

Xuanji looked at the sword for a long time, until the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops woke her up, and she remembered that Chu Ruo was still waiting for her.She hurriedly took off her shoes and walked into the house, only to feel that something was wrong with her hands and feet. It turned out that the wound and clothes were condensed together.But she couldn't care less, so she just walked in and looked for Chu Ruo.

"Ruo." Xuanji saw Chu Ruo who was thinking about the past, she knelt there, not knowing how to speak.

"Go down and clean the wound yourself." Chu Ruo said without emotion, "Your homework for today has been completed."

"No." Xuanji responded, and walked out, turning her head to look at Chu Ruo from time to time, until she reached the door, "I remember every word Ruo said."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the little monk touched Chu Ruo's face to comfort him, 【Chu Ruo, don't blame yourself. 】

'I can't teach much by myself. "Chu Ruo held the little monk and poked its face with his hand, "Help me find a suitable candidate. '

【What? 】The little monk held Chu Ruo's finger, but didn't understand what Chu Ruo meant.

'Someone who can teach her the art of balance. '

Chu Ruo has thought a lot, and also assumed a lot. Xuanji, relying on her own identity, married into another country, entered the harem to gain the favor of the king, and then came into contact with the court, gradually replacing her.

However, it took too long to do so, and the reputation was not right, so it was difficult to convince all the officials. More importantly, this method could only control a country.If you want to pacify the world, you must have soldiers and horses in your hands. It is difficult for Xuanji to mobilize the three armies as a woman.

Unless, she had fought with them on the battlefield, had a life-long friendship, and in the eyes of everyone, relied on her solid military achievements to make her way up.

It sounds unreliable, but it is the most effective method.

[Today, a hundred schools of thought contend, there are three teachings and nine schools of thought, and nine schools of thought and ten schools of thought. 】The little monk looked up the information, 【Chu Ruo, which one do you want to find? 】

'A strategist, a military strategist. "Chu Ruo reported these two first.

[Mr. Guigu's address has been marked on the map. As for the military strategist, the information shows that this master strategist lived in seclusion in Qi State. 】The little monk gestured,【This place is relatively close to Qi State, and at this time, Guiguzi's two apprentices have not yet left the teacher, and Xuanji will not be accepted as an apprentice if he goes. 】

'What about the Legalists? '

[The Legalists are more generous. 】The little monk laughed and said, 【Jixia Academy has lectures every month, they are eager to tell others what they know.By the way, Jixia Academy happens to be in Qi State as well. 】

’ Then go to Qi State. '

Xuanji didn't know that Chu Ruo had already decided the next itinerary for her, so she changed her medicine and sat there in a daze.Recalling all kinds of things, being a king and son of heaven was something she never dared to think about in the past. She used to dare not even imagine killing people, but now, Xuanji looks at her hands, which are not like the hands of a spoiled princess. There are many calluses, and there are also many scars. These hands killed a person today.She suddenly felt that meeting her elder brother was no longer a dream, something out of reach, then, what Chu Ruo said...

The morning light shone on Xuanji's face and fell to her feet, casting light like a person's surrender.

If Xuanji stood up on this day, if the world was all her own, then what else could she not do?She opened the door to look for Chu Ruo, her eyes lit up again, and she wanted to tell Chu Ruo that she would not back down.

Chu Ruo is at the end of this road, watching Xuanji walking towards her, with her head held high and her chest full of confidence, she said to Chu Ruo, "I will go on."

"Very good." Chu Ruo expressed approval, "Let's go tomorrow to Jixia Academy."
