Chen Xiaomu shook his head and said with a smile: "Forget about the sword. It's hard to get used to it being hung around the waist. Besides, I don't know how to use a sword. No matter how good the sword is, it would be a waste for me!"
"Husband, how can you think so?" Su Xingran raised his head from the chessboard, looked at Chen Xiaomu and said seriously: "Prime Minister Wei is a civil servant who always carries a sword with him. Besides, you, the Prince Consort, are a military attache who beats ten of them. Not wearing a sword will make your subordinates despise you!"
Chen Xiaomu said disapprovingly: "I pretend to hang a fine sword on my waist all day long, but I don't know how to use it. Isn't it even more contemptuous?"
"I'll teach you!" Su Xingran said excitedly: "Husband, why don't you worship me as your teacher."
Chen Xiaomu tapped the tip of Su Xingran's small nose with his finger and said affectionately: "Little girl, you want to take advantage of me, don't you?"
Su Xingran pouted her bright red mouth, closed her eyes slightly and said sweetly: "Husband, who took advantage of you? I kindly taught you swordsmanship, isn't it right for you to worship me as your teacher!"
''Of course you are a ghost! Chen Xiaomu smiled and scolded: "You and I are husband and wife. If I worship you as my teacher, wouldn't it mean that there is a difference in seniority?" "
Su Xingran stood in front of Chen Xiaomu and said naughtily: "Husband, don't take it seriously! Even if you worship me as your master, I just want you to call me master in private, and still treat me as husband and wife outside."
Chen Xiaomu glanced at Su Xingran strangely, "Honey, do you have any mental problems? You must turn the relationship between husband and wife into a master-disciple relationship. Well, are you satisfied with this? I have to report it to Master when you go to bed at night. , the apprentice is going to bed! Then you tell me to come up!"
"Pfft." Furong, the female officer next to her, couldn't help laughing. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, shrugged her shoulders, lowered her head and laughed so hard that her branches were trembling. Su Xingran herself could not stand upright with laughter. He came up and lightly hit Chen Xiaomu's chest with his pink fist while laughing.
After the two had some fun, Su Xingran gave up on wanting to be a master, but still insisted on giving Chen Xiaomu a sword. In the end, Chen Xiaomu was forced to put forward two conditions. First, since Su Xingran wanted to teach him swordsmanship, since he had never He had seen Su Xingran use a sword, but he didn't even know that Su Xingran had a sword, so he made sure that Su Xingran practiced for a while and let him observe before deciding whether to learn swordsmanship from her. Secondly, if you want to wear a sword, depending on your current status, you must first find a good piece of iron to cast it. However, generally well-known swordsmiths will always have some low-priced goods in their hands. As long as you can afford a big price, this one Not too difficult.
In order to let Chen Xiaomu focus on learning swordsmanship from him, Su Xingran immediately pulled him to the yard, and then waved to Furong who followed. Furong took off the scabbard hanging on her belt and threw the scabbard away with a "swish". In the past, Su Xingran stood up, and when he looked again, he saw that he was already in mid-air. He reached forward and grabbed the sword thrown by Furong. His clothes and belt were fluttering, like a fairy descending to earth. He turned around in the air and suddenly heard "Cang With a crisp sound, a three-foot green blade with cold light was grasped in Su Xingran's hand. Before Chen Xiaomu could wake up, the entire courtyard in front of him was enveloped by a dense sword energy, and Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but feel agitated. He shuddered, and saw Su Xingran's figure there at this time. He only saw a dozen white lights moving up and down, left and right in the courtyard like a dozen lightning bolts, which made Chen Xiaomu stunned!
This kind of scene, which can only be seen in the martial arts novels of later generations, now actually appears before his eyes. Although he has heard people say before that in this troubled world where heroes are divided, almost all the royal families of all countries will be in front of the princes and princesses. When they reach a certain age, they will spend a lot of money to hire some well-known martial arts masters to teach them martial arts, so that they will not have the ability to protect themselves one day as a last resort. However, this kind of thing usually only happens here with Chen Xiaomu. He heard what he heard, because he simply didn't believe that these princes and princesses who had been pampered since childhood could endure the hardship of practicing martial arts. Besides, which teacher dared to be cruel to these proud people? It’s not all about fooling around to get the money. Finally, hello, hello, hello everyone. As for when this group of people actually confronts the enemy in the future, then the power of this dynasty is almost exhausted. Who has the spare time to find these masters? Let's settle the score!
But today Chen Xiaomu's eyes were opened. He didn't expect that his wife Su Xingran, who had always been gentle and sweet, was so powerful in martial arts. What he didn't expect was that the masters of the world who had always been in his impression of cheating would actually teach Su Xingran a decent martial artist. Apprentice, Chen Xiaomu knows nothing about these martial arts or internal skills. From a layman's point of view, he feels that Su Xingran and Wei Yuxin's martial arts should be about the same. As for Qiu Xingbo, Monk Liaochen, and so on. There are people like the Demon Sword God Ni in Wei Yu's heart who may be the masters of martial arts in this world!
Just when Chen Xiaomu was dazzled, Su Xingran suddenly withdrew his attack. In an instant, the sword light in front of his eyes disappeared, and the courtyard returned to a peaceful and sunny scene. Su Xingran stood with his sword in hand, standing in the middle of the courtyard with a heroic appearance, "Pa, Bang, Chen Xiaomu couldn't help but clapped his hands and walked over, giving a thumbs up and praising: "My wife is really secretive, she has quite a heroine style! "
Su Xingran rolled her eyes at Chen Xiaomu and said coquettishly, "Are you willing for me to be your master?"
Chen Xiaomu was shocked when he heard that Su Xingran was so persistent in the idea of having him become her teacher, so he couldn't help shouting: "Honey, are you tired?" As I said just now, we are husband and wife, and I cannot accept you as my master. Besides, what about a master sleeping with his apprentice? "
Su Xingran was not angry after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Husband, are you thinking dirty?" Did I ask you to become your teacher? "
Chen Xiaomu rolled his eyes, "You asked me if I wanted you to be my master, and you said you didn't let me become my master!"
Su Xingran pouted and said playfully: "I'm just asking you whether my skills are enough to be your master. Who knows you might think wrong."
Chen Xiaomu sighed and said with a wry smile: "Of course that's enough. Not to mention my wife's level of skill, even the little gangster on the street who knows the Three-legged Cat Kungfu can be my master!"
Su Xingran grabbed Chen Xiaomu's hand and jumped excitedly: "Husband, do you agree to learn swordsmanship from me?"
Chen Xiaomu was forced to have no choice but to nod, but he immediately made another request. He didn't have a suitable sword.
Su Xingran thought for a moment, handed the sword in his hand to Chen Xiaomu with the scabbard, and said: "Use mine first. When you find good materials later, let Blacksmith Tao forge a sword specially for you."
To be honest, no matter how thrilling Su Xingran's sword dance just now was, Chen Xiaomu didn't want to learn this kind of swordsmanship at all. After all, he had traveled from later generations, and had seen the power of those later generations' firearms during military training in college. They were far more powerful than those in ancient times. Cold weapons are incomparable. No matter how capable you are, there is no problem that cannot be solved with one shot. If there is an exception, just hit him with a shuttle. It is estimated that the opponent will not be able to escape even if he has three heads and six backs. Death means injury. If you listen to Su Xingran and practice swordsmanship now, you will almost certainly start from basic skills, such as practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer. If you want to practice advanced martial arts, this training will take at least several years. Time, if you are lazy and slippery, you will not have any strength on your sword by then. No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it will be just a show. When you are really facing an enemy, before you can use the sword, the sword may be thrown away. , that’s a slap in the face! Chen Xiaomu's skin started to tingle just thinking about all the hardships he had to endure! When his plan failed, he had no choice but to try again on the sword.
Looking at the sword that Su Xingran handed to him, Chen Xiaomu did not reach out to take the sword. Instead, he shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to use your sword to practice swordsmanship, I want to practice with my own sword!"
Su Xingran asked strangely: "Aren't these all swords? What's the difference? Besides, you don't have a sword now."
Chen Xiaomu said firmly: "If there is no sword, I can wait. Whenever there is a sword, I will start practicing the sword."
"Oh! I know." Su Xingran suddenly woke up and sneered: "Because you are lazy by nature and don't want to endure hardship, so you don't want to learn swordsmanship from me at all!"
"Honey, you have really wronged me!" Chen Xiaomu glared and said plausibly: "As the saying goes, a gentleman will not take away what others love, how can I ask for what you love!"
Su Xingran was stunned when he heard this, as if he had just met Chen Xiaomu, he looked him up and down, and then said kindly: "Husband, what are you talking about! We are husband and wife, and my things are not as good as yours. Same? Take it! My sword is also good. My master got a piece of fine iron from a good friend of the Taoist clan, and then spent a lot of money to have it cast by Lu Wuxie, a master swordsmith from the Jin Dynasty. After it was cast, Because the sword made a buzzing sound when it was unsheathed, Master named it Fengming Sword. When Master decided to retire, he left it to me. An ordinary sword. As long as it touches it, it will break with a slash. Now I will give it to my husband as a sword and for self-defense."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaomu waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Honey, according to what you said, I can't even ask for this sword. Your master left his beloved thing to you, his beloved disciple. If I keep this sword today, I won't trap you." Is this disrespectful to Master?"
Su Xingran's face darkened, "Husband, what do you mean by this? Didn't I just say it! You and I are husband and wife, and now in the eyes of outsiders, we have become one body. We will both suffer, and both will be prosperous. What difference does it make to you at this time? I?"
Chen Xiaomu was forced to have no choice but to say something for a long time. Finally, he thought of a perfect reason and hesitated: "Wife, if you give me your sword, don't you have no use for it yourself?"
Su Xingran smiled brightly, "Husband, you don't need to worry about this. I also have a soft sword, which was a birthday gift given to me by my mother on my birthday last year. Because I had this Fengming Sword in my hand at that time, I kept it. There is no chance to use it.”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaomu could no longer think of a reason to refuse, so he could only reach out and take the Fengming sword in Su Xingran's hand, and said with a forced smile: "Haha, wife, then it is better to be respectful to your husband than to obey."
Su Xingran nodded and gave him a slightly annoyed look, "It should have been like this a long time ago, and you still make me waste so much time!"
The Fengming Sword looked quite light in Su Xingran's hands, but when Chen Xiaomu actually took it into his hands, he realized that it was actually very heavy. He couldn't help but quietly estimate it in his mind, and felt that the sword should weigh at least four kilograms. The scabbard seemed to be hand-sewn from deerskin, and it looked particularly delicate in the hand. Because the hilt was also wrapped with a layer of deerskin, Chen Xiaomu couldn't tell what material the hilt was made of.
Chen Xiaomu weighed the sword in his hand and said to Su Xingran with a smile: "Honey, I feel like I'm not good at practicing swordsmanship. You're just trying to push yourself to the top, and you may be disappointed in the end!"
Su Xingran rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Don't say frustrating words to me. Hard work pays off. Starting from tomorrow, I will personally supervise you to practice martial arts and sword practice. You will be given at least an hour every day to practice horse steps and horse steps with sandbags tied on your legs." An hour of swordsmanship, if anyone is lazy in the middle, he will be severely punished."
Chen Xiaomu was startled by Su Xingran's words, and couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. He didn't understand why Su Xingran suddenly started to take care of himself. He said to himself, "Don't say two hours, I can't stand it even for half an hour." Ah, are you practicing martial arts? It's almost like the torture used by prisoners in prison! No, I have to find a way to escape from this bitch's clutches quickly."
With his mind spinning, Chen Xiaomu hurriedly complained to Su Xingran: "Honey, do you want to exhaust me to death? I have to go to court every morning to discuss matters. After the court is over, I have to raise money for the court. There is still time. Let’s go practice martial arts and sword practice with you!”
Su Xingran thought about it and felt that what Chen Xiaomu said was true, so he changed his words and said, "Then I'll wait until you raise the money before you start practicing."
Su Xingran's reluctance really made Chen Xiaomu feel like crying without tears, so he had no choice but to say: "It's up to you? As long as you are happy!"
Unexpectedly, before Chen Xiaomu could take a breath, Su Xingran made another strange condition. She said to Chen Xiaomu seriously: "Husband, I don't think you can do anything to protect yourself. It's very dangerous to go out. Just like today, I'm afraid someone will attack you." You have evil intentions, and I think from now on, whenever you go out, you should take me with you, and I will protect you."
''No, no, Chen Xiaomu quickly waved his hand and refused: "This is not possible. You are the princess of Zheng State, so you can be my guard. This is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally. Since ancient times, only the prince consort has protected the princess, so the princess can protect her." From the consort? Besides, I also have Lu Yi, Wang Wu, and Li Gui as my bodyguards!"
"Giggle." Su Xingran chuckled and said: "With the skills of those three-legged cats! It's okay to deal with three or five ordinary people, but if you really meet the masters in the world, I'm afraid these few people combined won't be enough for them. Two rounds! Besides, you are also the sixth prince of the Chen Kingdom, and your status is not low to begin with."
"No, I don't want to." Chen Xiaomu said sullenly: "I am a grown man, but I let my wife protect me. If word spread, wouldn't it make people laugh to death!"
"Enemies, what do you want?" Su Xingran couldn't help but stamped her feet and said anxiously when she saw that Chen Xiaomu refused to be his bodyguard.
Chen Xiaomu suddenly smiled proudly and said: "I have a small explosive pack to protect me, and you have seen the power of this thing today, so my guards only need to be like Lu Yi and Li Gui, who can help me fight away the gangsters." Yasan’s abilities will suffice, because these people are not worthy of me blowing them up with explosives.”
''No, husband, you are wrong! "Su Xingran walked slowly to Chen Xiaomu, stared into his eyes and said: "The three robbers who kidnapped you at noon today are not masters in the world, they are not even thugs, and these robbers are against you. You don't even have the slightest sense of precaution. If they can take a little precaution, you won't even have a chance to throw the explosive bag! "
"Honey, how do you know they are not masters? Can your eyes still see through things?" Chen Xiaomu asked rather unconvinced.
Su Xingran saw that Chen Xiaomu was like a stubborn donkey at this time, and sighed softly: "Husband, have you ever heard of the saying that an expert will know if he has made a move?"
Chen Xiaomu said disdainfully: "That's true, but those people were just putting on some postures at that time. Besides, I didn't give them a chance to fight, so I decisively blew them up!"
Su Xingran shook his head slightly, "Husband, I don't know if you believe it or not. I knew the identities of these three people as soon as they started to pose. These people should be Taoist priests from Sanqing Temple on Mangdang Mountain outside the city, so The formation is called Sanding Formation. This formation was created by Yuyang Zhenren, the abbot of Sanqingguan. "
Chen Xiaomu looked at Su Xingran in surprise. He didn't expect that his wife, who usually looked innocent and pure, knew so much and was so thoughtful!
