Wait a minute, heroine
Chapter 244 Reciprocity
The sun was setting, and pedestrians were coming and going on the street. A carriage left Tianshui Bridge and drove along the straight avenue toward the majestic Imperial City in the distance.
Ye Jingtang was wearing a black robe made of water and brocade, holding a riding crop and sitting outside the carriage. His eyes reflected the red sun in the sky, and his profile looked like a carefree knight-errant.
Next to him, Da Niao Niao, who was running around with Xuan Ji, but was kneaded by the Queen Mother instead of eating, was squatting next to Ye Jingtang like a dart in the past, humming a Liangzhou tune:
"Gujiji~..."
Compared with the carefree atmosphere of one person and one bird, the atmosphere inside the carriage is a bit tighter.
Luo Ning, who was dressed in Tsing Yi, leaned against the car window with her arms folded across her chest. Her face was as indifferent as ever, but her body looked a little wilted.
Just now, the Night Terror Hall came back and caught him on the spot. Luo Ning didn't dare to attack the little thief when she was in a bad situation, so she was very obedient. Firstly, she was afraid that the little thief would make her suffer, and secondly, she wanted to make her suffer. The little thief takes care of Sanniang.
But after Sanniang understood how to use Xiaoyu Carrot, she was embarrassed to play so fancy in front of her, so she only agreed to let Ye Jingtang mess around next time she was alone.
She definitely wouldn't agree. After trying for a long time, she still couldn't get Sanniang to do anything. In the end, she had no choice but to take a step back and let Sanniang hang the bell on her waist and dance for fun.
Later, I discovered that when Sanniang was riding a horse, the bells would also ring. The rhythm was very special, and Sanniang was quite satisfied.
Her original intention was to deal with Sanniang, but she ended up messing around and she ended up using her own money to buy jewelry for Sanniang to cheer her up. Wouldn't this be a loss for her husband and a loss of soldiers?
For this reason, she finally tried it on herself while wearing the waist bell, but she didn't expect that something would happen if she tried it directly.
In the past, she was very reserved, and she would only hum without humming if she couldn't help it.
After putting on the waist bell, the bells were not subtle. "Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding." Too much trouble...
The more Luo Ning thought about it, the angrier she became. After leaning against the car window for a moment, she looked back.
At the back of the carriage, Pei Xiangjun was dressed like a rich lady, with moist cheeks. She was leaning on a small couch, holding a piece of jade in her hand, which she was carefully carving with a carving knife.
When Luo Ning saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel wary. After all, she couldn't hold Sanniang down, but Sanniang could hold her down hard.
If Sanniang also gets a little carrot out, and the little thief is so heartless and watches from the other side, she will probably suffer a serious crime.
After Luo Ning glanced at it for a few times, she stood up and sat down next to her, frowning and asking:
"What are you carving?"
Pei Xiangjun slowly cut the jade and said casually;
"Reciprocate the gift. You prepared the gift for me with so much care. Naturally, I have to reciprocate the gift."
Luo Ning knew this was the case. She held down Pei Xiangjun's wrist and whispered:
"Are you stupid? You keep fighting with me. In the end, we both lose, and it's easy to have a night terror. Is that interesting?"
Pei Xiangjun blinked his eyes and said indifferently:
"Just be happy. Besides, you were the one who made the first move this time, so I can't help but pay it back, right?"
"You were unreasonable and unforgiving the day before yesterday, how can I cause trouble for you?"
"You were the one who came up with the idea to plot against me the day before yesterday. If you didn't calculate it, how can you say that I will ignore others? By the way, what words do you want to engrave on the back? Safe entry and exit?"
"Sigh! You are simply..."
…
Ye Jingtang sat outside the carriage and eavesdropped. Hearing the last sentence, he couldn't help but laugh twice. As a result, Ning'er became angry and immediately pinched his lower back through the curtain.
"Eh? I didn't laugh at you..."
"Then why are you laughing?"
"The laughing bird looks at its beak."
"grumble?"
The three people and one bird were fighting like this, and when the sun was about to set over the city, they arrived at the east gate of the imperial city.
Ye Jingtang was already familiar with the road, and handed the carriage to the guard of the imperial guards. Then he took the two women into the palace with a free entry and exit token.
Although Pei Xiangjun grew up in the capital, this was his first time entering the palace. In addition, as a Jianghu person, he was somewhat afraid of the imperial court. For this reason, he became much more serious after entering the palace gate, demure and dignified, without squinting.
Needless to say, Luo Ning, as the rebel leader of the Pingtian Sect, swaggered to the imperial city. She was probably the first one since the establishment of the Pingtian Sect. She was quite nervous in her heart and followed the Night Terror Hall silently. .
Ye Jingtang led the way, walking along the corridor between the high walls, and soon arrived at Changle Palace. Under the leadership of the palace maid, they arrived at Cheng'an Palace.
Ye Jingtang asked the two girls to wait by the lake, and then came to the entrance of the hall alone. He did not see Yuhu. Instead, he found several palace maids standing outside a large study room on the east side.
After a brief inspection, we can see that there is a large desk in the splendid study. Da Benben, who is wearing a slim-fitting python suit, is sitting on a dragon chair with his back straight and a stack of notebooks in front of him. He is working hard. He looks more like the empress than the empress.
The maid outside the door discovered that Ye Jingtang was outside, so she announced:
"Your Highness, Master Ye is here."
"Um?"
Dongfang Liren, who was engrossed in concentration, raised his eyes when he heard the sound, then lowered his head and continued to criticize:
"Come in. All of you, get out."
"yes."
The palace maid quickly retreated.
Ye Jingtang entered the study. It was definitely not easy to get close to him and take a look this time. He just asked at the table:
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
"The Holy Dragon's body is not in good condition. I will take care of these trivial matters. The jade bone diagram is placed on the table. You can take it to Ning'er and the others to see."
Ye Jingtang came to the table, picked up the jade box placed next to the fold, and asked:
"Is it okay, Your Majesty?"
"Don't ask questions like this randomly, you will lose your head. Go and do your own business. Will you go out with me later?"
"Oh?" Ye Jingtang asked, "Where will you go later?"
Dongfang Liren paused his writing and raised his eyes:
"Do you think I am going to have a private meeting with you?"
Ye Jingtang smiled softly and thought about it a little:
"Are you going to Yutan Villa for investigation? I can just take someone with me for such a small matter."
Dongfang Liren said solemnly: "Do you think I'm just asking you to go over and patrol? Your Majesty is going to Yutan Villa for a short stay. Master Xuanji asked you to investigate, so you are fully responsible for security. If things go wrong if things are not done well, even you Inside, all the imperial guards and even the palace maids will lose their heads. Anything related to the Holy Emperor is a top priority. When you serve in the officialdom, you must understand this first, do you understand?"
Ye Jingtang didn't mean to be negligent. He just said that he could handle this kind of thing alone. Seeing Benben being so serious, he didn't refute. After nodding, he took the jade box to Minglongtan.
Luo Ning secretly observed the rockery in the garden in front of the palace and saw that the things below were difficult to get, so she put her thoughts aside. After Ye Jingtang came over, they entered the waterside pavilion in the center of the lake.
Both Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun have practiced the Dragon Elephant Diagram. It doesn't take too long to figure out the secrets in the diagram, but it is a bit brain-consuming to completely memorize the luck context and use it skillfully for your own use. You have to spend a few days studying it carefully. I have to come a few times in the future.
Ye Jingtang didn't expect the two daughters-in-law to know it by heart after just one look. They sat cross-legged and practiced together while Niaoniao watched the fish by the lake. When the sky turned dark and Dongfang Liren came out of Cheng'an Hall, he put away the jade The box was returned to Dongfang Liren.
Dongfang Liren trusted Ye Jingtang very much, and originally wanted Ye Jingtang to take the Jade Bone Diagram directly and hand it back after learning how to do it.
But the Jade Bone Diagram was too special. If something happened, Ye Jingtang would inevitably be implicated. After thinking about it, he put it away and left the palace together.
Seeing that their husband had official business, Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun naturally did not follow them to disturb them, and returned to Tianshui Bridge together after leaving the palace.
Yutan Mountain was originally a summer palace for the imperial family. After the empress succeeded to the throne, it became a routine for the empress to stay at the mountain villa for a period of time every autumn.
Ye Jingtang doesn't need to worry about the cleaning inside. What he has to do is to bring the secret guards, forbidden troops, and black yamen officers there, and arrange inspections and garrison work as the commander.
Being assigned this job is undoubtedly a symbol of the emperor's favor, and all the princes in the dynasty have to be courteous when they see it; but if something goes wrong due to negligence, he is also the first person responsible, and even the birds will probably lose their heads.
Night Terror Hall was not careless at all. After leaving the palace, they first mobilized a thousand forbidden troops and an elite guard composed of thirty secret guards and black yamen chief arresters. They were led by Wang Chihu, the cousin of Prince Jing, to Yutan Mountain. The march was slow, and he and Dongfang Liren left the city first.
On the branches under the moon, a luxurious chariot with horses and horses drove out of the city gate and onto the official road leading to the outskirts of the city.
Night Terror Hall was walking alone outside the carriage, with a long gun hanging on the side of the horse, followed by a group of black police officers.
Yutan Villa is about ten miles away from the capital. You can reach Baima Academy by walking upstream along the river. Although the scenery along the way is beautiful, there is not much to note.
Dongfang Liren was sitting in the carriage, immersed in painting the picture album of Heroic Girl Tears. Because he was bitten so hard last night, he still didn't want to talk to the Night Terror Hall, and he didn't say anything along the way.
Ye Jingtang rode on a horse as a guard, scanning the scenery along both sides of the river, while Niaoniao squatted on the fence outside the carriage, begging for snacks from the accompanying maid.
After walking for about a few miles, the number of cars and horses on the official road gradually decreased, but there were still some pedestrians going north and south.
Ye Jingtang focused his attention on a cruise ship full of warblers and swallows on the river. He didn't pay much attention at first, but when he was walking, he suddenly realized something was wrong and turned to look at the distance of the straight official road.
The moonlight was clear, illuminating both sides of the river in early autumn as if it were daytime. A luxurious carriage was walking out with more than ten followers, while an old horse was walking slowly along the roadside toward the capital.
The horse looked very old, and its hair was wrinkled and mottled. The saddle and the copper bell on its neck had turned black, and it no longer even made a jingling sound when walking.
But from the strong frame and the rhythm of the horse's walking, people can still feel that this is a good horse. No matter how old it is, when young, it will definitely be the best in the world.
And the same is true for people on horses.
Sitting on the horse was a skinny old man with a black hat on his head and a gap in his forehead. He was wearing a black and gray robe and an old cloak whose color could no longer be seen. He looked depressed. Shen Shen, as if preparing to find a place to dig a hole and bury it in the earth.
But the old man's frame is quite well-proportioned. Even though he is skinny and skinny, he still doesn't give people the slightest sense of weakness. He is as thin as a sword that has lost all its luster, a sword that has lost its hilt and scabbard. The beauty is gone, only the edge is left. So alone, inserted between heaven and earth.
"Xu~"
Ye Jingtang lightly lifted the reins, stopped the horse, and raised his hand slightly to stop the carriage and the entourage behind it.
The black policeman behind was not a top expert, so he didn't notice anything strange around him. He stopped when he saw the night terror, quickly drove his horse forward a few steps, and guarded the carriage.
Dongfang Liren was alarmed by the silence. He secretly looked around at the car window and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Don't show your head."
Ye Jingtang looked at the old man in black robe coming from a distance, and found that the other party took the initiative to give way and retreated to the field on the roadside. He did not relax his vigilance. He thought about driving his horse forward alone and took out the token from his sleeve:
"The deputy commander of the black office gave the hall a night terror. Who are you? Do you have a road guide talisman?"
A hundred meters away, the old man in black robe heard the sound and raised his bamboo hat slightly, then turned over and dismounted, took out a long black cloth strip from the side of the old horse, and stamped it on the grass:
"Your Excellency, you are Young Master Ye of Night Terror Hall?"
The voice is old but not hoarse. Instead, it is very clear, giving people a feeling of being in the ear.
"..."
When everyone in the Hei Yamen heard this, they secretly thought something was wrong. They quietly drove the carriage and retreated slowly, while the birds flew high into the sky to observe their surroundings.
Ye Jingtang also frowned secretly, because he couldn't figure out the details of the opponent. He turned over and dismounted, pressed the handle of the knife and moved forward:
"Exactly. Are you here to get the title of Daokui?"
Ranked among the Eight Great Leaders, although he enjoys an extraordinary status in the world, he has also changed from a challenger to a defender. His treatment is the same as that of the 'public enemies of the world'. Everyone wants to prove themselves by beating him up, even if it is a night terror, the idea I also fucked all Wu Kui, regardless of gender.
This kind of challenge, as long as it complies with the rules of the world, there is no way for Ba Da Kui to avoid fighting. Wu Kui, who is so annoyed by this, will usually designate an apprentice or senior brother, and let people win the fight before coming to the door, which is a passerby.
There is no door god in Ye Jingtang who can help him block people. Challengers who want to replace Dao Kui will naturally come to him directly.
However, the old man in black robe in front seemed to have no intention of challenging. He slowly pulled down the long black cloth on his hand, revealing a sword.
The sword is three feet long and looks very old, but not old. It can be called "unsophisticated". It is black and blue in color and has no decoration.
Ye Jingtang paused, thinking that it was the Sword Master Zhou Chiyang who came to take revenge, but the other party seemed to be about the same age as Mrs. Zhou, so he asked:
"I have something important to do. If you don't report your intention, I will have no choice but to be rude."
The old man in black robe held the long sword in his left hand, walked slowly to the middle of the official road, and said slowly:
"My sword has been hidden in the box for thirty years. I want to find someone to call it. How much is the edge? I heard that Ye Shaoxia's sharp sword is invincible in the world. Is it convenient?"
Ye Jingtang saw that the other party was blocking the road. He said it was inconvenient and probably useless. He stopped talking and strode forward.
Tap tap tap...
The old man in black robe raised his head slightly, revealing his bearded chin and sharp and restrained eyes.
The old man did not look directly at his opponent, but looked at the full moon in the sky, and spoke again:
"Young Master Ye thinks, are there immortals above the blue sky?"
"There may be people in heaven, but there should be no gods."
"Then what does Ye Shaoxia think a person in heaven should be like?"
"First train your body until your golden body is flawless and understand the fundamentals of human beings; then train your mind to see through all the situations in the human world and understand the principles of heaven and earth. If you can do this, you will naturally become a person in heaven. Your Excellency obviously has not reached that stage."
"hehe……"
The old man in black robe laughed, looked back at Ye Jingtang, and put his hand on the hilt of his sword:
"I haven't reached that far, but I've gone a mile further than Ye Shaoxia, so be careful with this sword!"
Choking——
As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound of unsheathing on the bank of the river with the gentle autumn wind, but two gleams of cold light flashed through.
At the same time that the black-robed old man drew his sword, Ye Jingtang had already unsheathed the sword around his waist, and came to the old man in a flash of light.
The movements of the old man in black robe seemed to be unhurried and unhurried, but in fact, they were clean and impeccable.
The three-foot Qingfeng left the scabbard without causing any energetic aftermath, but it made the black yamen guards behind feel a bit chilly, as if winter had entered along the Qingjiang River at this moment.
While Ye Jingtang was attacking with a knife, he realized something was wrong.
At Wu Kui's level, the 'unknown' is far more terrifying than any infinitely lethal move.
When facing Xuanyuan Chao, he could still see through all the possible intentions of the opponent after taking action. However, the black-robed old man in front of him did not have a strong aura, but the sword in his hand was like an insubstantial blue shadow. The trajectory was regular, but completely Unable to see through the intent of the attack.
Seeing that the opponent could keep up with the speed of his attack, Ye Jingtang did not take the risk of forcing his speed to break the situation. Instead, he sidestepped during the attack, rushed diagonally behind the black-robed old man, and slashed at the old man's back with a knife.
Sa——
The strong wind brought by the violent attack of the figure instantly flattened the grass by the river and also lifted up the clothes of the two people.
The old man in black robe did not make any fancy moves from beginning to end. Instead, he turned the blade of the sword smoothly and smoothly. His thin body was as sharp as a sharp blade, and he made a skillful straight thrust to the side and back.
"call out--"
The body follows the sword, and the sword follows the Qi.
The moment Sanchi Qingfeng took action, a sharp whistle sounded out of thin air.
This sword is like the breath of a blue dragon, and a straight thin line spreads forward along with the grass below.
The Night Terror Hall was still three feet away when he felt a sharp edge piercing his eyes. A creepy feeling arose spontaneously, and he immediately dodged sideways again.
Boom——
At this time, the autumn wind suddenly intensified, and the three-foot green front, which contained vast energy, pierced towards the river bank.
The powerful horizontal flight envelops thousands of grass blades, like a green dragon suddenly appearing, crossing the grassland with the momentum of a dragon walking in the wild, until it hits the river, causing a cone-shaped ripple on the vast river surface.
Crash--
Ye Jingtang ducked out to avoid the sharp attack. Although he was unscathed, he was not taking advantage of the situation to attack.
Because he could see that this swordsman was indeed old, and the momentum of his attacks was not as exaggerated as when he used the Huanglong Sleeping Way in Xiwang Town. He was no match for him at all.
But this sword is equally sophisticated, and the heat has even reached the point where it is almost incomprehensible.
At first, Ye Jingtang punched and shot out, which would shatter the clothes. It seemed that the momentum was earth-shattering, but in fact, the energy was too scattered and failed to concentrate.
But now he has learned to control it, and suppresses all the energy within the blade, and the strongest sword strike is without any ripples. Only when using it with all his strength will he be unable to hold back the energy and cause the energy to overflow.
But the black-robed old man's all-out sword move caused such a terrifying movement, but his strong inner energy was obviously still controllable.
The sword drew a line, and its force shook the river, but the robe seemed to be in the autumn wind, and even the grass blades behind him were not disturbed.
He could control his inner energy to such an extent that if his sword failed to hit, he could take it back and strike again. The old man took action directly, obviously just to show off his skills to him.
swish swish...
Countless broken leaves fell in the autumn wind and scattered on the grass where a long line of troughs had been eradicated.
Two warriors dressed in black were standing by the riverside. They both stopped, and the riverside returned to deathly silence.
On the official road in the distance, more than a dozen policemen from the black government opened their mouths wide when they saw this scene, and their eyes were blank, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Dongfang Liren, who was warned not to poke his head in the car, saw this scene through the gap in the car window and said in disbelief:
"Dragon Qi Sword Sun Wuji?!"
Ye Jingtang pointed his knife at the ground, and when he heard the name, his eyes froze.
Dragon Qi Sword is the sword technique of Qianhe Villa, and Sun Wuji is the ancestor of Qianhe Villa. However, this identity is generally not mentioned in the world, and they are called by another more familiar name - Sword Master.
Sun Wuji became a swordsman in the previous dynasty. About thirty years ago, he was defeated by Zhou Chiyang, who was in his early twenties, and disappeared from the world since then.
After Wu Kui was defeated, the journey of the world was over. There were very few Liu Qiansheng who still thought about coming back. Most of them either died on the spot or found a place to live in seclusion to live their lives. Because they were bound to be injured, the tone in their hearts was also If scattered, they usually don't live long.
Sun Wuji disappeared for thirty years. People in the world have long classified him as a historical figure. Qianhe Villa has also become a second-rate sect. The most recent celebrity is the young master of Qianhe Villa, who is known as the next generation swordsman. Holy, but after visiting the Zhou family more than ten years ago, he was killed by an unknown person on his way home.
The Dragon Qi Sword itself is one of the most superior swordsmanship in the world. When he was in the morgue, Cao Aning discovered that Ye Jingtang was using the Eight-Step Crazy Sword. At that time, he switched to the Dragon Qi Sword to fight. However, Luo Ning saw through it and stopped. Dare to use it.
According to his age, Sun Wuji is probably a hundred years old. When Ye Jingtang saw this kind of old man who was the same generation as his ancestor Kuang Yazi, he was naturally surprised and put away his sword and handed it over:
"Your Excellency, is Senior Sun Wuji?"
Cha~~
After Sun Wuji struck the sword, he didn't look very good, but with a smile on his face, he slowly sheathed his sword:
"Sure enough, a good foundation. Wu Kui is the top of the mountain to ordinary people, but it is just the beginning for Ye Shaoxia. A few days ago, Ye Shaoxia helped to find the sword of his late grandson, and Qianhe Villa did not return the favor. I don't know. Can this sword penetrate Young Hero Ye's eyes?"
Ye Jingtang got the Lingji Sword a few days ago, and Ning'er came up with the idea to return it to its original owner. When he returned, he sent someone to Tuzhou. His original intention was to have the opportunity to come and ask for sword skills in person, but he didn't expect that Qianhe Villa was so affectionate. The righteousness reached such an extent that the ancestor came to express his gratitude in person.
Night Terror Hall bowed once again:
"Senior Sun's words are too condescending. If senior can give you advice on swordsmanship, I will have to pay him a visit with heavy gifts according to the rules. There is no reason for senior to come to your door in person. If this spreads out, I will have to fall into the world in the future. He has no reputation for being arrogant and rude."
Sun Wuji hung the sword back on his old horse, held the reins and said:
"Keep your love in your heart, not on the table. I don't know how many years I can live, and I don't know if Young Master Ye will come to the door. I can't take the kindness into the coffin. I stopped by for one last visit, and there is a decent junior. Being entertained is considered a blessing in this life.”
"Senior please."
