White jade!
It's been a long time since I heard any news about Baiyu in Kyoto.
Ever since Bai Yu was used as bait to lure Qi Zhengchu out of Cangshan Mountain, he seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"I heard that the shameless person went to Nanzhou Mansion." Bai Yu said.
Qiu Ruoruo ignored Bai Yu. A person with such high eyesight would be condescending to anyone.
Bai Yu continued: "With his low level of cultivation, he is not afraid of dying in Nanzhou Mansion."
Yu Lan, who was beside Qiu Ruoruo, couldn't help it anymore and cursed: "Where did this wild dog come from? It barks all day long. It seems that the people in Kyoto are indeed more generous than our Beiliang City. If it were placed in Beiliang In the city, such a barking wild dog would have been beaten to death in the street."
Qiu Ruoruo covered her mouth and smiled softly.
Just listen to Yu Lan continue to say: "Ruoruo, let's go. Don't get bumped by wild dogs."
After Yu Lan pulled Qiu Ruoruo away, Bai Yu stared at the two figures, spat, and then walked into Baiweiju Center.
In the wing room on the third floor, Xiang Jinghao watched all this silently.
After a while, the door to the wing was pushed open, and Bai Yu walked in.
Today, Bai Yu accepted Xiang Jinghao's invitation. Once in Jiangnan City, Bai Yu asked for a sword from Jianlu, and it was the King of Chu who came forward to give him a favor. Therefore, Bai Yu also met Xiang Jinghao.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Besides, the two of them could be considered friends.
"Brother Bai Yu, long time no see." Xiang Jinghao said.
Bai Yu raised his hand and saluted. In his heart, he didn't want to have too much involvement with the people in Prince Chu's palace, but things were unpredictable. He had accepted King Chu's kindness and had to repay him.
"The Crown Prince invited me here this time, why?" Bai Yu asked.
Xiang Jinghao smiled, and while pouring tea for Bai Yu, he said: "Brother Bai Yu, if you speak quickly, I won't hide it. I heard that you have a grudge against that rogue Yu Zhi, so I just wanted to ask you for help. Teach this man a lesson for me.”
Bai Yu was slightly surprised. In the mountains and forests of the north, the stinking "senior" also asked him to kill Yu Zhi. Why did the father and son of the Prince of Chu's Mansion both want Yu Zhi to die?
"Yu Zhi has already left Nanzhou Prefecture. I don't know when he will return to Kyoto." Bai Yu said.
Bai Yu didn't hate Yu Zhi to the point of killing him, so naturally he didn't want to become a knife in the hands of the Prince of Chu.
Xiang Jinghao chuckled and said: "You and I can go to Nanzhou Mansion to find that Yu Zhi. It just so happens that Jianlu will soon open a new sword that has been used for nearly a century. Brother Bai Yu might as well take this opportunity to try it out and use the old sword. Replace your sword with a new one.”
Go to Nanzhou Mansion to teach Yu Zhi a lesson. This matter is not worth Baiyu's journey south, but if it is Jianlu's century-old sword, it is worth traveling all the way south.
Bai Yu's heart moved. On this trip, he did not bring Cai Guang with him. As a self-proclaimed genius, he believed that he was worthy of the best sword in the world, but those century-old swords left in the sword house did not choose white jade.
At that time, I just thought that the opportunity had not come yet.
This time, maybe it's an opportunity.
...
...
The scenery on both sides of the Canglan River is very beautiful.
The tide is flat, the banks are wide, the wind is blowing and the sail is hanging.
The ship moved forward indomitably, like a sharp sword that was unstoppable.
That day, after Su Muchi confessed to Yu Zhi, the relationship between the two got a little closer.
In the cabin, Su Muchi poured tea for Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi no longer asked Su Muchi to call him "Sir". This trip south was secretive, Yu Zhi's whereabouts were erratic, and no one knew where Yu Zhi was.
Even when he arrived in Su City, Yu Zhi didn't want to reveal his identity immediately.
"Madam, there is no need to be so formal. It's better to be casual." Yu Zhi said casually.
Su Muchi responded and said towards the scenery by the river: "Young Master, you are in a high position. This little girl dare not slack off. In the future, the Young Master will be the head of the little girl's family, so it is better to be respectful."
Yu Zhi smiled and said, "It's up to you. However, I don't want to expose my identity yet and don't want others to see the flaws."
Su Muchi nodded. The plan in the young man's heart in front of her was far beyond her ability to guess. Even if she could guess it, it would be inconvenient and inappropriate to say it.
Being like a duckweed, it is natural to find some support. The Su family is unreliable, the Fan family is unreliable, and Yu Zhi...he rescued her at least twice. Whether it was rough roads or keeping his promises, if Yu Zhi hadn't, she would have died in Cangnan Town.
"The boatman said that after disembarking at the next ferry, we can reach Su City in one day's journey." Su Muchi said.
Yu Zhi thought for a while and then asked: "Is there any delicious food in Su City?"
Su Muchi also thought about it and said: "If you want to eat delicious food, Master, there is also a Baiweiju in Su City. The Jiangnan pastries made there are the most authentic."
Yu Zhi frowned slightly, showing a trace of displeasure. He doesn't like Baiweiju, just like he doesn't like that person.
Su Muchi was keenly aware of Yu Zhi's emotions and was puzzled. She immediately changed her words and said: "In addition to Baiweiju, some old shops in the streets and alleys also have decades of craftsmanship and the taste is also excellent. When the time comes, the little girl can Let’s take the young master around Sioux City.”
When Yu Zhi heard this, he smiled. "Excuse me, madam."
After a while, Yu Zhi asked: "Madam, tell me about your current predicament."
Su Muchi looked at Yu Zhi, confusion flashed in her eyes. When Yu Zhi went south to suppress the bandits, he did not care about the banditry. Instead, he first inquired about Su Muchi's family affairs.
Yu Zhi explained: "My wife made a promise to me, and I can't be a hands-off shopkeeper. Since I am your wife's boss, if someone wants to bully her, I, the boss, have to vent for my wife. When beating a dog, it depends on the owner. Woolen cloth!"
Su Muchi pierced Yu Zhi's eyes.
Yu Zhi rubbed his nose and explained awkwardly: "Well, that's probably what it means. Rough words but not rough reasoning."
Immediately, Su Muci said sternly: "The Su family has been in business for many years and started out as a weaver. It has never been involved in the court. The previous generation of the Su family, my father's generation, has made achievements in the officialdom."
"Su Rongxing, the second brother-in-law of the Su family, is also my second uncle. Eight years ago, he became the county magistrate of Lin'an County and gradually began to control the Su family. If my brother Su Sui had not been appointed the county magistrate of Su City, I am afraid that my father's lineage would have been lost. He has been expelled from Su Mansion.”
Yu Zhi had seen brothers fighting each other, but the Su family was just fighting for power, and it was rare for them to be expelled from the family unless they committed a heinous crime.
"Our Su family is the richest man in Su City. The second uncle is greedy for money and power. He has been able to serve as the governor of Lin'an County. The Su family's money has contributed a lot." Su Muchi continued.
Yu Zhi interrupted: "What do you want to do?"
Su Muchi thought carefully, then stood up and stood sideways. "I used to just want to be able to protect myself. Now, with the young master behind me, I want the entire Su family."
Su Muchi's eyes were clear and firm. She was gambling, using herself as the bet, and all the pressure was on the young man.
If the bet is successful, Su Muchi's name will resound throughout Su City.
If you lose the bet, you just lose a life as weak as a duckweed.
Yu Zhi said again: "What do you need me to do?"
Su Muchi raised her eyebrows, remembering the letter that Yu Zhi had read to her.
"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Su Muci already had candidates in mind, and among the people listed in the letter, several were in contact with Su Rongxing.
The sword fell, breaking Su Rongxing's arm and establishing Yu Zhi's authority.
At this time, Su Muchi suddenly understood that Yu Zhi had sent her the letter that day, perhaps just to facilitate many things that could kill two birds with one stone.
The two chatted some more, and the planning between the wise men was quick and brief. After half a minute of speaking, I already understood it completely.
"The young master's sword is broken," Su Muchi said.
In Cangnan Town, the ordinary long sword could not withstand Yu Zhi's sword energy and broke into pieces. The zhenqi of the seventh grade of Kaibei cannot be carried by any ordinary grade.
Yu Zhi said nonchalantly: "If it breaks, it will break. Just pick up another one when the time comes."
From the beginning of his training, Yu Zhi's weapons were very random, almost all of them picked up from the battlefield.
Ordinary long swords are common.
Su Muchi said with a smile: "With a status like Young Master, you should be equipped with a good sword."
Yu Zhi shook his head and said: "You are wrong. Only those who know swords and love swords are worthy of a good sword. If you use your identity to match a sword, then the sword is not a good sword."
Sword cultivators all have a different emotion towards swords.
The sword is the sharp edge in your hand and your best friend in life and death. Therefore, the sword must be warmed and raised.
The sword is the master, and the sword is the friend.
When Su Muchi heard this, she lowered her head and thought. She is not a cultivator and cannot understand so much. I thought, considering Yu Zhi's status, it would not be difficult to get a good sword.
"Young master is right. It's the little girl who is talking nonsense." Su Muchi felt that there was something different about the young man in front of her. "Soon, the century-old sword of Jiangnan Jianlu's generation will be released. I think the young master will be interested."
Yu Zhi took a sip of tea and his expression changed. As early as in the northern border, Yu Zhi planned to go to Jianlu to ask for a sword. What a coincidence now, just after arriving in Nanzhou Mansion, Jianlu's century-old sword is about to be released.
"Jiangnan Sword House spent hundreds of years just to forge a sword. I don't know how many people are watching this century-old sword. It is probably extremely difficult to get the sword." Yu Zhi said with interest.
Su Muchi covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"why are you laughing?"
Su Muchi poured tea for Yu Zhi and said with a smile: "I'm laughing. It's extremely difficult for the young master to say it. But I listen to the young master's tone. When the century-old sword comes out, the young master will definitely go and try it."
Yu Zhi said matter-of-factly: "Try it, and it doesn't cost any money. Besides, I heard that a sword that lasts for a hundred years has spirituality. The sword master cannot be chosen without a connection of mind. A swordsman cannot take the sword out of the sword house. I am so talented." , is extraordinarily handsome and will definitely be favored by the Hundred Years Sword."
When Su Muci heard this, she couldn't help but smile again, and thought to herself: This guy is very calculating when planning people. When we get along with him on weekdays, he is really a young man with an interesting temperament.
"However, I thought that if my brother comes to get the sword, others should not waste their efforts and give up as soon as possible." Yu Zhi said confidently. "I dare say that among the young sword cultivators in the world, no one can rival him."
"What about you, young master?"
"Me? Hum, of course I will be better than him."
"Young master, are you talking about Ye Qinghuan, who is at the top of the Qingyun Examination Ranking?"
"Yes." Yu Zhi looked at the river in the distance and said, "It's just that I don't know whether this kid is dead or alive."
