Li Junce sighed with a smile
"I never thought that my nephew would also know my little friend. It seems that I, as an elder, am a little slow to get to know my little friend."
Lin Manliu cupped his hands and said, "It's the boy Liu Manlin who was in a hurry when he passed through Juzhou before and failed to make friends with Senior Li." When the boy in short shirts cupped his hands to apologize, he intentionally looked at Qiao Yunian, who was looking at him. The young man was naturally aware of it.
Qiao Yunian, who was reminded by Lin Manliu, immediately understood. Without waiting for Li Junce to say any more polite words, he spoke first: "Brother Liu is Uncle Li's retainer, so he will stop teasing Brother Liu. Come on, follow me." Enter the mountain gate quickly, I have been holding back a lot of things to say to Brother Liu these days."
As Qiao Yunnian spoke, he pulled the boy in a short shirt and entered the mountain gate together. Lin Manliu could only laugh and said: "Yunnian, don't mess around...Besides, I have a traveling friend here who has disabled legs and feet." As he spoke, The young man also looked at Li Junce who was standing on the side of the mountain gate.
Li Gongfeng just stood there, the smile on his face not diminishing at all, and nodded to Lin Manliu without saying too much. The stewards and elders of Sword Making Peak behind him looked at the usual man in front of him. The strict Li Congfeng was so abnormal today that they couldn't believe their eyes.
Everyone present originally thought that the next step would be two young men with a similar age, talking about what they had seen recently, and then entering the mountain gate together.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yunnian suddenly said
"Traveling friends? Male or female?...Are you worthy of my sister!" After saying this, Lin Manliu didn't wait for a reply, and immediately let go of the boy's hand, as if he was angry.
Just when Lin Manliu was about to explain, Ning Ke couldn't sit still in the carriage, so he directly opened the curtain and said in a man's voice: "Don't worry, little brother..." Originally he was just watching quietly in the car. It was a joke, but this kid from nowhere mentioned it.
In order to cooperate with Lin Manliu's previous remarks, Ning Ke began to limp forward.
"Don't talk nonsense about me and Senior Sister Qiao!" Lin Manliu glared at Qiao Yunian.
"I know, I know." Qiao Yunnian said as if nothing was wrong. After that, she continued to drag the boy in a short shirt towards the mountain gate. Ning Ke followed closely behind, and when she passed by Li Junce, she paid careful attention. The smile on Li Junce's face did not change at all.
After the three of them entered the mountain gate, only Li Junce and several deacons and elders of Zhujian Peak were left outside the mountain gate.
At this time, there were no seniors with warm smiles outside the mountain gate. The leader, Li Junce, had a gloomy face that was almost dripping with water. He narrowed his eyes slightly and kept staring at the three figures retreating in the mountain gate. .
Naturally, someone noticed something strange about Li Junce, and one of the deacons immediately suggested: "Do you need to arrange for some disciples to compete with those two people in the mountains...".
Li Junce said in a low voice: "Go." The deacon immediately bowed his hands and walked quickly through the mountain gate.
Li Junce made no move, and the people behind him naturally did not dare to act rashly. After a moment, Li Junce turned behind him and looked at the people behind him. All the deacons and elders of Sword Making Peak immediately leaned over and waited for Li Junce's words.
"Since you all are planning something together, you must always remember what we are doing. It is to bring Zhujianfeng back to its past glory. We must let the world know my Zhujianfeng weapons and see my Zhujianfeng sword again. You know the power of my sword-making peak!" Li Junce said in a deep voice.
"Keep in mind the thought of offering sacrifices, and we will do our best!" The deacons and elders behind him said in unison.
After everyone finished talking, Li Junce said yes and walked towards the mountain gate. Seeing Li Gongfeng gradually walking away, several elders and deacons who were still outside the mountain gate looked at each other and sighed with relief. Then they entered the Zhujian Peak Mountain Gate together.
...Lin Manliu, Ning Ke and Qiao Yunian entered the mountain gate at the earliest time, and their journey was faster. Lin Manliu looked at the scene inside the mountain gate of Zhujian Peak, and he began to wonder. I have never seen such a magnificent building before. The houses on both sides of the road are like sharp knives reaching into the sky from the ground. At the end of the street is a three-story house. You can vaguely see the words "
The word "Jiange".
"That is the sword pavilion in the main palace of Zhujian Peak. Normally, the mountain lord is in charge, but now there is no mountain master in Zhujian Peak. There are only two people, my father and Li Congfeng just now. They work together to manage the up and down of Zhujian Peak. Matters..." Qiao Yunian explained as he watched Lin Manliu stare at the sword pavilion.
"Yeah, I heard something." In fact, the master and the old liar in Fengcheng had roughly explained the specific structure of Zhujianfeng from the sword appreciation incident last year to the present. When Qiao Yunian explained it to him here, he would not be too surprised, and the people on the side When Ning Ke heard the news, he was not too shocked. He just casually glanced at the buildings on both sides of the road.
From time to time, disciples from Zhujian Peak walked past the three of them. When someone saw Qiao Yunian, they would bow their hands in an extremely perfunctory salute. Qiao Yunian also pretended not to see them and continued to tell Lin Manliu about the sword-making process. What are the uses of some houses in Jianfeng and their approximate locations.
And among them, it specifically pointed out the Qiao family's disciples of Zhujianfeng, as well as the residences of himself and his family members, including of course his sister.
"Ahem...I've talked so much, why don't you understand and answer the question to ask where my sister is now?" Qiao Yunnian's mouth was dry as he spoke, but the boy in a short shirt beside him , in his eyes, he just doesn't have a bright mind, he has never understood the meaning of his words.
"Uh... Yun Nian never mentioned it. He mentioned before that Uncle Qiao rushed to help Yuezhou. That senior sister is naturally not in the mountains now. She should have rushed to Yuezhou with Uncle Qiao." Lin Manliu explained awkwardly.
"Oh...it's so boring!" Qiao Yunnian started stomping on the spot and said. Just when the three of them stopped here, three people came from a distance, holding a Zhujian Peak long sword in their hands. Judging from their attire, they knew that they were disciples of Zhujian Peak.
Lin Manliu and Ning Ke were the first to react and looked at the three people walking in the distance. All three people's eyes were on Lin Manliu. Qiao Yunian waited until the three people approached before he noticed these three people. People who have never looked at him in the eyes have come here abnormally today.
Qiao Yunnian reacted this time and thought to himself, no, these people must have been arranged by Old Man Li to put pressure on Lin Manliu... Before Qiao Yunnian could reprimand him, the three people Ignoring him directly, he pushed the long sword in front of him. The leader looked at Lin Manliu and said: "I heard that Liu Shaoxia is famous for his adventures in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a blessing for us to come to Sword Forging Peak today. I think so. Ask Liu Shaoxia for advice."
Lin Manliu knew in his heart that no matter what he did today, it was all part of Li Junce's plan, and he could not avoid it, so he directly held his left hand to Shan Ye Xing at his waist and began to look at the three people in front of him.
The poor scholar behind him wanted to speak first. After Lin Manliu noticed it, he raised his right hand to indicate that Ning Ke did not need help, and then took a step forward past Qiao Yunnian.
"I'm very happy to ask for advice and discuss. Yun Nian doesn't know where the competition is in the peak. I haven't heard what you said just now." Lin Manliu clenched the Shan Ye Xing at his waist and looked sideways at Qiao Yun Nian behind him and said. .
"Brother Liu, come with me!" Qiao Yunnian dragged Lin Man to the martial arts arena in the Six Dynasties Sword Forging Peak. The three Sword-Building Peak disciples who ignored Qiao Yunnian saw that the young man in front of them followed suit, ignored them, and followed Qiao Yunnian forward.
The three of them looked at each other, winked at each other, and followed Lin Manliu, Ning Ke and Qiao Yunnian.
After passing through two rows of houses, we saw an extremely spacious martial arts field. On the way to and around the martial arts field, there were some Sword-Forging Peak disciples who were constantly drawing swords. When they saw Lin Man, six or three people, they were all excited. There was no movement, but when he saw the three Sword-Forging Peak disciples behind him, he stopped his sword and said,
"Hello, senior brother." After saying hello along the way, the three Sword-forging Peak disciples who were originally unhappy calmed down a bit. Only when they walked into the middle of the martial arts field with Lin Manliu did the three of them stop, and the boy in short shirts also followed suit. He turned around and looked at the three of them.
"I wonder how the three senior brothers from Sword Forging Peak want to compete," Lin Manliu said with a smile.
"I'll go first! Liu Shaoxia, please be careful later!" The Sword-Forging Peak disciple standing on the left heard Lin Manliu calling them senior brother, which was clearly the honorific title given to the three of them by others along the way. , How dare this kid stir up trouble like this!
The other two people took a few steps back, leaving the center of the martial arts field to Lin Manliu and the Sword Forging Peak disciple.
"You need to go through the cutscenes first, so I'll do it first! I'm Wang Xiaowu of Sword Forging Peak, and Shaoxia Liu, please give me some advice." Wang Xiaowu held the long sword in front of him and faced Lin Manliu and said.
"Okay! I'm Liu Manlin at Yijian Villa, please, Brother Wang!" As Lin Manliu spoke, he unsheathed Shan Yexing, who had been holding tightly around his waist, and then held it upside down in front of him.
While the two were talking, the Sword-making Peak disciples who were practicing swordsmanship also came to watch. Some people began to call out to their fellow disciples to come to the martial arts arena to watch their senior brother compete with this unknown boy in a short shirt.
After Lin Manliu took the wild trip, everyone present except Ning Ke and Qiao Yunian were shocked.
The onlookers only felt that the young man in front of them was a little too confident. The dagger behind him was not unsheathed, and he was only facing the enemy with a dagger-shaped dagger.
The three Sword Forging Peak disciples recognized the dagger in the young man's hand. Wang Xiaowu was also a little surprised. He said with some confusion: "Why do you have Senior Sister Qiao's sword...?".
"Of course it's from my sister!" Qiao Yunnian heard this and said directly. When Wang Xiaowu heard the news, the hand holding the sword began to tremble unconsciously for a moment, but then he immediately tightened his grip on the sword again.
He began to seriously look at the young man in a short shirt in front of him. He no longer looked at the young man named Liu with the frivolous attitude before, and began to recall some of the actions and performances of this person when Jiangnan Yijian Villa was opened. .
After Wang Xiaowu thought for a moment, he said in a deep voice again: "I was a little neglectful of Young Master Liu before, but I will definitely not have this thought again when I draw the sword. I will draw the sword first after speaking."
Lin Manliu nodded to him to indicate that he understood, and then changed his previous offensive with Shan Yexing in his hand, lying in front of him, waiting for the opponent to draw his sword.
