When the eldest prince entered the northern Yanze border gate, he did not have the grand ceremony of being greeted by county officials like when he was on tour in the past. Instead, he could see something strange in the dull eyes of many veterans at the border gate.
There is some pity, some intolerance, and maybe contempt and teasing. As for why he has such vision, the eldest prince can figure out most of it with his mind, but only those teasing and contemptuous eyes are a little unclear.
But there are always new people arriving, so the people at the border who were already looking a little dull, although their eyes may not have much joy, they did not embarrass the newly arrived eldest prince, but when they looked at the little palace maid During the season, they were a little indifferent and even disgusted. By the way, most of them put aside their good looks towards this young man with a good attitude. Only a few people stepped forward to chat with the eldest prince.
Yun Yiliang and Liu Qing walked out of Chu Heng's house and had not walked a few steps when they heard about this from others. They knew that two people from the Jianghu with unknown background were coming. Although they had some differences in their hearts, after all, they were For a long time, it was rare for someone to come to seek refuge on their own. At the moment, I ignored my worries and hurriedly walked outside the city gate. However, when I walked out of the city gate, I found many people from the border gate surrounding the open space, stretching their necks and looking into the field. A few people were already shouting and cheering, and naturally they frowned.
The young man in the middle should be able to use two swords, but he was able to fight against a man from Beiyanze Border Pass with only one sword. His sword moves were fierce. Even with one sword, he was equally matched with that man. It was difficult to tell the winner. Opening and closing, just by looking at it twice, you know that it is taught by a famous teacher, and the tricks are all the same, but the enemy is also a veteran who has been crawling around in Beiyanze and crawling out of the corpse, so For a moment, the needle-pointed wheat awns, the sound of gold and iron when the two knives collided, and the flying sand and stones were indeed interesting. Naturally, those sharp-eyed people saw Yun Yiliangliu coming forward, and they all kept silent and slowly retreated. In the end, there were only a few people left in the field. Those who had applauded just now felt ashamed, lowered their heads and stood up to Yun Yi. Liang stood in front of him and didn't argue even a single word.
Yun Yiliang is familiar with Qingpingjun. The latter was also a brave man on the battlefield. Most of his moves and methods are similar to those of famous and brave generals in Qi Dynasty. Before he saw Shihe, he could see that he was different. The young man took a clue and looked at the appearance of the young man in the scene, as well as the calm posture when drawing the knife. He had something in mind, and then looked at the girl behind the man struggling to hold a knife, but his brows became tighter.
"This little brother has a long history. He learned the art of looking for energy in the mountains. He is destined to be rich and noble. I don't know where he got the reckless energy from his body. Unfortunately, he tried to cover it up. He is calm and calm when performing moves, and his moves are precise and precise. I can't cover it at all." Liu Qing put her hands into her sleeves, as if she was watching the fire from the other side. Seeing Yun Yiliang's stern expression, she asked tentatively, "You came from Qi Imperial City? I really don't know which family he is."
"Every descendant is the same," Yun Yiliang exhaled a long, narrow white breath, moistening his lips, and his eyebrows were still perfectly matched, "When you see this kind of skill, you will be taught by various famous people in the imperial city and enter the world. The days are not long, and I have not figured out my own martial arts, but it can be regarded as both physical and spiritual, and can attract the guidance of so many masters. No matter who is the descendant of the family, the Beiyanze Temple is small and cannot hold such a Buddha, even if it is The clay sculpture and gold body are still too dazzling." While the two were fighting, Qingping Jun just put down the old account that had been repaired with great difficulty, and planned to go to Yun Yiliang and Liu Qing to ask if the items were all in stock. , just a few steps out of the handsome tent, I heard the sound of weapons clashing outside the city gate with my good ears. I was suspicious for a moment, and I also followed the sound. I happened to see the young man holding the knife in his palm across the man's throat, and he clicked it. He stopped, put the knife back into its sheath, and threw the long knife to the thin girl behind him without even looking at it, almost knocking the latter over. He clapped his hands to help the panting man, and grinned. .
Neither of them had used any real moves, but they had just exchanged words, and both of them had the idea of competing. The eldest prince was not very reserved, he was the winner, and he was not very proud. After helping the latter, he put his arm around his back. The warmth was tight, and the man knew that he was wrong. What's more, even if he lost, others would greet him with a smile, so it was hard to refute other people's dignity, so he had to smile bitterly and clasp his fists to say he was offended.
Not far away, Qing Pingjun took a sip of wine and unreasonably recalled the years when he and his eldest brother were fighting in the battlefield. At that time, Qi was weak and the old emperor was ill. Secretly fighting for life and death with foreign sentries at the border, they were all inseparable. Later, the eldest brother ascended to the throne of emperor and reversed the decline of Shangqi, which seemed to have little chance. If you spend all your energy and energy, your life will not be long. In those days, even if the two of them took a sip of wine from the waist of Zihao or Qiling Senma's corpse, they would divide it into two portions. If they ate alone, they would probably be beaten. Overlapping each other, although there are many sufferings, the pleasure is not diminished.
But wine can be divided into two halves, but not in the world. The eldest brother knows this, and the nephew also knows it, but Qingpingjun is the last to realize it.
In the end, Yun Yiliang and Qingpingjun left first without saying anything. Only Liu Qing helped them find accommodation. To avoid suspicion, they had to build a new tent, but they were not mentioned for a long time. Among the rosters, sitting across the table from each other, Liu Qingchao just looked at his hands, which aroused the suspicion of the girl not far away. However, she also knew the rules, so she had to hold up the two knives with great effort and took out a good-quality sharpened knife from the package. Stone, struggling to sharpen the knife.
After leaving the capital for more than a year, ever since the young palace maid caught up with the prince, it seemed that some of the most inconspicuous tasks were unceremoniously thrown to the young palace maid by the latter, whether it was driving a car or negotiating prices with others when staying in a hotel. , or feeding horses and making wine, or even sharpening knives and washing clothes, throwing them all away, and he became the shopkeeper. Not to mention that she can hold out her hands for food and open her mouth, but they are not far apart. Therefore, except for the calluses left on her hands when practicing swordsmanship, her face is light-colored, but looking at the originally fair-skinned little palace maid, she is already much tanned, and her hands are not comparable. She was so soft at first. When the little palace maid found that her hands were getting rougher, she cried twice, but she still had no choice but to take care of various chores for the eldest prince. Except for her horse riding skills, which were still terrible, she became more and more comfortable in other things.
"Not everyone can do such a thing by bringing a girl who has no ability to protect herself to the border gate of Beiyanze. The family in Beiyanze has a poor family background. If Mr. Qingping were sitting here, he would tell you that the border gate cannot support idle people. "
"I saw an old soldier delivering corpses a few days ago. I've heard something about it. I'm new to this place, so I don't know much about it, so I hope I can elaborate more." The eldest prince looked calmly at the scholar in front of him, who didn't look like a martial artist in any way. Turning around a hundred times, his expression remained unchanged.
"The old corpse collector learned this kind of useless business in his early years, so now whenever the war breaks down, he and a few quick hands and feet are mostly responsible for handling the matter. Don't think that this person's kung fu realm is poor. At this age He still often rushes to the front, and the young good boy may not be able to compare with him." Liu Qing put his hands on the table and yawned, probably because it was extremely cold outside and warm inside the room, making him feel sleepy for no reason, "Even if it is You see, there are people who only stand on the city gates and look at the marsh all day long. They have nothing to do to clean and tune their bows and crossbows, and there are also doctors who know how to tie up the wounds of the injured. When the monsters break through the gates, people There is no difference between people in the army. If you have more time, you will work harder on weekdays. If you have less time, you will do what you can. When you first come here, you will feel that this place is cold and lonely, and everyone is dull. But in the season when demons are like a tide, it can be compared to the rivers and lakes. People who are above are more heroic."
Liu Qing always spoke in an understated way, saying that the matter had nothing to do with him, but these few words that seemed to be said casually were more credible in the eyes of the eldest prince.
"I heard something from my junior brother on the mountain before, saying that there was a person who first entered the rivers and lakes and brought a good sword to fight with the bandits. However, he died in the village for no reason within a few days, and the sword disappeared. Thinking about it afterwards, it was indeed a taboo. Some people were envious of this good knife, which naturally gave rise to evil thoughts. Some people were envious of this person's family background and could actually buy such a good knife. However, the grass bandits were in the village. Every day you make money, you may be visited by the government that day. You are living a life on the run. It is reasonable to act freely. Since the friendship is not very deep, and the ability to keep money is not necessarily good, I can only blame myself. Think about it first.”
Liu Qing accidentally glanced at the girl who was struggling to sharpen the knife, and then quickly turned her eyes back to the person in front of her, smiling slightly, "What's more, that knife cuts roads across mountains, water, and trees. It can help the young man who first entered the world." I have done many things, but I am willing to put them in front of everyone and be remembered and hated by others, so even though my words may not be pleasant to listen to, they are reasonable."
Until Liu Qing left, the eldest prince had no reply. After seeing off Liu Qing, he lay down on his own and held the back of his head with his hands, not knowing what he was thinking.
The girl finally finished sharpening the two knives. Sweat had already appeared on her forehead. She carefully brushed the sleeve of Qingshui's sleeve against the blade before she could take a break. Seeing that the eldest prince was absentminded, she cautiously approached him.
What the tall scholar said was somewhat obscure, but the little palace maid who entered the palace very early at a young age heard the hidden meaning in the words, stood aside timidly, and hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Am I that knife?"
"That's wrong. You are a good sword. At least you have forged it well along the way and it looks good." The young man who is the eldest prince closed his eyes and suddenly felt sleepy. "But, I I am a knife user with poor eyesight, and I have never been able to tell whether the back of a knife is straight or not. After all, I have seen many excellent-looking knives, but the back of the knife is crooked. If I were not a swordsman with a high status, then I would The sword may not be easy to use, so if you want to turn it into my sword, you can only become more and more useful, and you can't worry about any feelings."
"So you have to be better, maybe you will have a chance."
