Jun Bubai and Ye Xianzi arrived late.
Lin Qiuwan was a little drowsy due to the warm sun. When he saw the two of them stepping into the threshold, he straightened his body, Li Bai knocked on his forehead and woke up. Tangxue held out his spear and drew an arc in front of him, showing a heroic posture. .
Jun Bubai greeted with a smile, "Good morning, Miss Lin."
Lin Qiuwan had been waiting anxiously for the past few hours. The pig's feet he had eaten in the morning had been exhausted. At this time, he was a little hungry. He wanted to finish the competition as soon as possible and go back to drink fish maw soup. Tang Xue pointed the tip of his spear at Jun Bubai and said coldly. : "It's getting late, let's start. Which one of you two will come?"
Jun Bubai pointed at himself, "Of course I will do it."
It had been discussed in advance that Fairy Ye flew up to the eaves, looked for a position with the best view, and watched the competition between the two from a high place. If Jun failed in vain, she would step in to take his place.
Lin Qiuwan attacked first, and Tang Xue swept over like a silver dragon crossing the river, holding a gun and flowers.
Jun Bubai stepped back a foot, and the invisible sword intention came out of his hand, and the tip of the spear collided with the sword intention. The spear surged forward, and the sword intent was shattered by the spear. Throwing out another one, when the spear and the sword were entangled, Jun Bubai took up the sword again, formed a three-foot-long sword, staggered the gun body, and rushed towards Lin Qiuwan.
Tang Xue was still in Lin Qiuwan's hand, and before she had time to defend herself, Li Bai pulled it out from behind and grabbed it with her backhand. Tang Xue stabbed into the ground smoothly, bounced upwards, flipped around, and Li Bai stabbed vertically from Jun Bubai's head.
Jun Bubai withdrew his sword intent and focused it on his head. The sword intent turned into a shield, blocking Li Bai's thrust. Lifting the fingers of his right hand, he used the Art of Control to lift up Tang Xue who had been inserted into the ground by Lin Qiuwan.
Everything can be controlled, and other people's weapons can sometimes be used for your own use.
Tangxue was lifted off the ground and tried to escape from his grasp. Lin Qiuwan took off Tangxue's hand and used the force of the collision between Li Bai and the sword to fly away. Before landing, he summoned the musket with his free hand, and the machine struck, and the steel ball flew out.
Jun Bubai was distracted by the steel ball and threw out his sword to block it. Lin Qiuwan had already landed on the ground, and with the help of his feet, Libai stabbed him horizontally, giving Jun Bubai no chance to breathe.
Jun Bubai threw Tang Xue at Lin Qiuwan, and Lin Qiuwan concealed her musket and freed her hand to grab it. Two flying swords hidden in the ground flew out from both sides of Lin Qiuwan and stabbed at her left and right wrists. Before Tangxue had a firm grip, she used Li Bai to block one sword, while the other could only summon a musket to fight back.
Lin Qiuwan encountered enemies on both sides. Tang Xue, who had not yet caught hold of her, was instantly lifted up by Jun Bubai with the Imperial Object Art, and the tip of the spear was pointed at the center of Lin Qiuwan's eyebrows. If you move forward an inch, the fragrance disappears and the jade dies.
After recognizing the situation, Lin Qiuwan stopped, put down Li Bai, spread her hands and said, "I lost."
Children of the martial arts world, lose simply.
Jun Bubai stopped Tang Xue, turned the tip of the spear to the sky, sent it to Lin Qiuwan, cupped his fist and said, "It's just a fluke."
"If you lose, you lose. As promised before, if you win, the Shen family and I will no longer pursue Qinglan's matter. I will go and talk to the Shen family." Lin Qiuwan picked up Libai and carried it behind her. Tangxue got up and turned around to go back to her small courtyard. I was already a little hungry, but after being active for a while, I felt even more hungry. I missed the fish maw soup cooked by Aunt Liu. I was so greedy that I walked faster.
Jun Bubai flew to stop her, "That's it!"
Lin Qiuwan looked innocent and nodded: "Yes, I have to go to dinner, so I won't leave you alone."
This was somewhat different from what I thought, and it ended too hastily. Lin Qiuwan jumped up to the eaves in a daze. It was too slow to walk back, so it would be easier to just climb over the wall.
Fairy Ye flew down from the eaves, walked to Jun Bubai, and asked, "How did you get her spear just now?"
Lin Qiuwan disappeared. Jun Bubai withdrew his gaze, approached Ye Xianzi, and explained: "That, I suddenly thought of it last night when I was helping my eldest sister move the wine vat using the Art of Controlling Objects."
Fairy Ye saw the crux of Lin Qiuwan's defeat in this competition and sighed: "She relies too much on the spears in her hands. If her transformation state were those two spears, you may not win today."
Jun Bubai said regretfully, "Yes."
He was the only two people left in the courtyard. They couldn't stay in other people's homes for long. They looked at each other and went back to the world and downstairs.
In her courtyard, Lin Qiuwan sat on the steps and drank fish maw soup. The fish maw was so smooth that she was satisfied after drinking three bowls in a row.
Lin Zhenjiang put a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand and asked, "Lost."
"Well, I lost!" Lin Qiuwan held the whole plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her arms and took one bite at a time, regardless of whether she was full with the fish maw soup.
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was choking, so Lin Zhenjiang poured a cup of tea and handed it to his daughter, "Our Lin family's Overlord Spear relies too much on the spear in our hands. We will always suffer some losses when we meet masters in the realm of transformation."
He drank the tea in one gulp, handed it to his biological father, swept away the cakes in his arms, stood up, patted the dirt on his body, and asked: "Have you ever heard of Qianji Pavilion in the world in these years of escorting? "
Lin Zhenjiang put down the tea cup, found a seat and sat down safely before speaking: "I have heard that our Lin family's overlord gun came from Qianji Pavilion. Qianji Pavilion was founded by Gongshu in the past to create the world's magic weapon. However, since The first head of the Gongshu family disappeared, the Gongshu family withdrew from the world, and Qianji Pavilion also disappeared. Now it is almost forgotten. Do you want Qianji Pavilion to modify your firearm?"
Lin Qiuwan nodded and said freely: "Since the object transformation realm is an imaginary thing that is imagined in the heart, then as long as I have seen more powerful firearms, this object transformation realm may also be able to improve."
Lin Zhenjiang's eyes were wandering. He was just a daughter. He didn't want her to get involved too deeply in the world, so he persuaded her, "It's better for the girl's family to support her husband and raise her children. Just take it easy. In a while, dad will find someone who is in love and sign a marriage contract." Sheng Sheng, I will find you a suitable husband. You are not meant to live the life of sleeping in an escort office and licking blood from a knife."
The story of Xun Husband's family was told so many times that her ears were numb. Lin Qiuwan liked the days of traveling quickly, so she choked and said: "Then you and Aunt Liu have a son as soon as possible, so that I can stop caring about the escort agency. "
Lin Zhenjiang blocked Lin Zhenjiang's mouth with one sentence. No matter how old and strong he was, he could not give birth to a son in an instant. The matter of his daughter's search for her husband was no longer mentioned. Her father's helpless look made Lin Qiuwan laugh to the point of tears.
She was laughing and crying.
Rouge shop in the south of the city.
Su Lingdang walked into the shop. The smell of fragrant powder was very strong in the shop.
The people at Rouge Shop put in new goods every month, and a clerk would send samples to each house. Then each house would send people to order the goods. According to the monthly consumption, the clerk at Rouge Shop would deliver the goods according to the day. When visiting, very few ladies from various families appear in the shop.
The make-up girl at the rouge shop is called Huamei. She is in her early forties. She is handsome and her skin is like that of a girl, covered with high-quality rouge and gouache.
When he saw Su Lingdang entering the door, his eyes lit up, he waved his fan and approached with a gust of fragrance. "Hey, why did Mr. Su come here in person? Didn't he just send someone here yesterday to buy rouge? What do you want to pick today?"
Su Lingdang was just pretending to buy rouge. She smoked and smoked in the kitchen all day, and only had a handful of opportunities to use it. She might as well cook a table of beauty dishes and eat more pig trotters and ears. Besides, how much does a box of rouge cost? Two silver coins are enough to have a table and wait for the banquet at Tianxialou.
Su Lingdang took out a box of rouge from her sleeve and placed it on the counter. There was a bird painted on the rouge box, and she said straight to the point: "I want to buy a dime eyebrow."
Huamei's face was solemn. This kind of rouge box was never sold outside. Where did Su Lingdang get it? I heard her talk about buying a dime eyebrow. The name was also weird. I could only pretend to be confused. "Master Su, you are here." What a coincidence, the goods from Chang'an won't arrive for a few days, why don't you go back and wait, and when the goods arrive, I'll find the Yimei you want and send someone to deliver it to you immediately."
Su Lingdang said angrily: "Why did I hear that this corner eyebrow arrived yesterday!" After saying that, he opened the curtain next to the counter and rushed to the backyard.
Huamei ducked and stood in front of the curtain.
Someone was laughing in the backyard, "Little Lingdang, your mouth is more poisonous than your master's."
Huamei changed from her normal behavior, bowed respectfully in front of the curtain, and explained: "My subordinates are incompetent. This Lord Su suddenly broke in and was unable to stop him."
The person in the backyard said: "Since everyone is here, let her come in."
Huamei stepped aside, opened the curtain and invited Su Lingdang in.
The backyard of Rouge Shop faces the street. There is a plum tree planted in the courtyard. At this time, the plums have been picked, and there is a green space. A wheelchair was tied up in the shade, with mottled light and shadow. Bai Xiaosheng stretched out his hand to feed the gray pigeon on his palm. The mute slave stood up and hugged the tree and fell asleep. His saliva flowed down the trunk to the roots. The fragrance of scallion pancakes outside the wall continued. Floating in the courtyard.
Bai Xiaosheng drawled his voice and said helplessly: "Little Lingdang, I just had one of my legs broken by your master, so you can't just give me a nickname like "Kickless" because of that. It's too disrespectful to the elders."
Su Lingdang flicked the bell on her wrist, and it rang loudly. "If my master knew that you tricked her son into going against Chang'an, your leg would be gone too."
Bai Xiaosheng touched the good leg that Ye Xianzi threw to the street the day before, and it still ached a little. "Are you here today to raise an army to punish your master?"
Su Lingdang shook her head, "Not only for my master, but also for Shen Qinglan."
Bai Xiaosheng clasped his palms together into fists and gathered the pigeons in his palms. There was nothing in his hands, "If I were to be your master, I would go to Wuweilin to plead guilty. As for Miss Shen, I just want to repay the kindness of the Shen family."
Su Lingdang angrily scolded: "If kidnapping Shen Qinglan can be regarded as a favor, then the Shen family might as well not have shown any favor to you back then!"
Bai Xiaosheng sat upright with a solemn expression, "I just made a choice for her. If Bubai and Ye Xianzi take her back to Suzhou, then Guinong Villa will help her escape this disaster, and she will stay in Guinong Villa Under her protection, she can live her life safely, but if Qi Men Twelve takes her back to Chang'an, she will be greeted by a different way of life."
Shen Qinglan is a human being and has her own choices. She doesn't need others to choose for her. Su Lingdang was angry and said bluntly: "What kind of way to live is to leave your family behind and stay far away from Jiangnan. Do you know whether you will live or die alone in Chang'an?"
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the green plum tree with bright eyes, and said something almost crazy, "Guinong Villa will spare no effort to let her take over Chang'an and rule the world!"
Forty years ago, a child named Li from Chang'an was fostered in the Shen family in Yangzhou. He could not laugh or cry. He would climb up the eaves every day and guard the direction of Chang'an.
At that time, the Shen family had a girl of the same age as him. When he looked at Chang'an from the eaves, she would look at him from the eaves.
He has been watching Chang'an for twelve years, and she has been watching him for twelve years.
In the past twelve years, he clearly remembered every street, every yard, and every person he met in Chang'an in his dream. When he wakes up from the dream, he will remember the way she smiled when she looked at him.
Many years later, he took her up to the eaves and pointed in the direction of Chang'an, saying that he would take her to Chang'an in the future to see the place where he once lived.
He likes the sourness of green plums. She can't tolerate the sourness, but she can make wine with green plums and put a lot of sugar. Then every year when he comes to Shen's house, someone will bring the wine out of the wine cellar and join him. Drinking on the eaves, looking at Chang'an and thinking.
He waited for forty years, but finally failed to return to Chang'an, and she was long gone. From now on, the green plum tree would bear new fruits every year, and he would pick them to make wine, put a lot of sugar, and guard that obsession and her. The only thought left.
