"Xiao Ding? So you are the Xiao Ding who has been in the limelight recently?" Master Xu's eyes were even brighter, his eyes were as warm as the summer sun, and the cold expression on his face had melted away.
"I don't dare, it's just me." Xiao Ding said with a smile.
Master Xu stared at Xiao Ding, blinked, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that you came here specifically for me. I don't know if you are here to have a drink with me, or if you want to ask me to forge a weapon for you?"
Although Master Xu spoke carelessly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that her eyes were full of some kind of expectation.
Of course Xiao Ding could see that he did not avoid Master Xu's gaze.
Facing Young Master Xu's fiery gaze, Xiao Ding smiled calmly and said: "Of course I'm here to drink with you. Who in Yangzhou City doesn't know that the daughter of the Xu family has an amazing capacity for drinking, and has the ability to drink a thousand cups without pouring them, and she has a collection of fine wines." , you can’t drink it even if you break your head in other places, it just so happens that I am a heavy drinker, and drunkards like to make friends everywhere.”
The waiter next to him was secretly stunned. The daughter of their Xu family, the most taboo thing is for others to call her miss or daughter, but Xiao Ding completely ignored it. He bumped into others and even wanted to make friends with them. I'm afraid this person didn't have the right skills. It's strange to be sick, and it's not serious.
It was strange that Master Xu was not angry yet. The man shook his head and walked away quietly.
When he left, he kept regretting Xiao Ding's fate. In his heart, Xiao Ding was undoubtedly a dying person, and he did not want to be affected by Chi Yu. Although Master Xu is not angry at the moment, if she takes action, the young man will never laugh again. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, I am afraid he will never dare to trick others into drinking again.
friend? Master Xu is very unfamiliar with this feeling. She has no friends, not even one.
Although her business is big enough and her martial arts skills are high enough, others are respectful when they see her and don't even dare to look up at her. Who dares to make friends with her?
But no matter how powerful she is, she is only a human being, and she is still a woman. She will occasionally think about things that women should think in her heart.
Carrying the burden of the family on her shoulders usually makes her breathless. She appears in front of others like a man every day, acting decisively and resolutely. The property left by her ancestors grew bigger and bigger in her hands, and she lost more and more.
How many nights had she taken off her manly clothes, soaked in a wooden barrel, and gently touched her proud body? Then she would act like an ordinary woman and fantasize about what a woman should think about. She had no one to talk to about her worries, so she often drank, so her collection of good wines increased.
The appearance of Xiao Ding only made her inner fantasy come true. A young man with flesh and blood, a warm smile, and good looks is of course the object of most women's fantasies when they first fall in love.
Xiao Ding is undoubtedly the best candidate.
"Since we are friends, please call me by my name from now on. I'm really not used to others calling me miss." Master Xu sighed quietly.
Master Xu stared at Xiao Ding with complicated eyes. She said slowly: "My name is Bing. You can also call me Bing'er. Originally, only my mother could call me Bing'er because I have no friends at all. You are the first." indivual!"
Xiao Ding's heart was shocked, and he understood in his heart what the real nickname meant to a girl.
"Xu Bing, what a good name. As expected, he is as smart as ice and snow." Xiao Ding quickly changed the subject.
"Do you know my surname is Xu?" Xu Bing was very surprised. Not many people in the world knew this secret.
"It is said that during the Warring States Period, Zhao Guoxin had a swordsmith named Mrs. Xu. Her surname was Xu, and her name was Madam, but she was a man. After Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin, Mrs. Xu escaped with a scroll in order to avoid disaster. Xindu, later moved to Yangzhou and changed its surname to Xu." Xiao Ding smiled proudly and said: "The dagger Jing Ke used to assassinate Qin was made by Mrs. Xu. Xu Ji's weapons shop should actually be called Xu Ji The weapons shop is the right place.”
Xu Bing asked in confusion: "With your age, it is impossible to know this secret."
"Of course I heard this secret from my master, and my master also heard it from his master." Xiao Ding smiled mysteriously.
"Who is your master, and who is your master's master?" Xu Bing endured for a long time before he tried to pinch Xiao Ding's neck.
"My master's master's name is Li Xunhuan." Xiao Ding smiled slowly. He knew that if he kept showing off, he might really get beaten up by Miss Xu. As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women.
"Xiao Li Tanhua? It turns out it's him, so there's nothing surprising about it." Xu Bing breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xunhuan has traveled all over the world throughout his life, and he must have interacted with the ancestors of the Xu family. It is not surprising that he knows this secret. Because everyone knows that Xiao Li Tanhua is upright, and no matter whether he is his friend or enemy, he will tell him everything.
"Follow me!" After Xu Bing finished speaking, he stood up and left his seat.
In the backyard hall, the maid served tea and left.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?" Xu Bing slowly put down the tea cup.
Of course she knew that Xiao Ding didn't really come to Yangzhou City just to drink with her.
Xiao Ding knew in his heart that since Xu Bing had asked him to enter the courtyard, he had already regarded him as a friend. He stopped talking nonsense and saw that he flipped his wrist and there was a throwing knife between the three fingers of his right hand. A three-inch and seven-quarter-long flying knife.
This knife was brought by Qiu Ruoli from the Marquis's house, to be precise, from Qiu Xiaohou's prison. It was originally inserted into the throat of a Japanese assassin.
"I want to know if you made this knife?" Xiao Ding looked at Xu Bing and said slowly.
Xu Bing looked shocked, and took the knife from Xiao Ding's hand. He held the handle with his left hand, pinched the blade with three fingers of his right hand, and folded it hard. The blade bent in a semicircle but did not break.
Xu Bing looked at Xiao Ding and said, "Yes, this knife is indeed from my hand, but where did you get it from?"
Xiao Ding sighed: "I know that ordinary people can never cast this kind of knife. Although this knife is made of ordinary iron sheets, if it were made by an ordinary blacksmith, it would have broken when you just exerted force. I think it must have been cast." Special techniques and techniques were added to make the blade bend without breaking. However, there are not many people in the world who have this skill. "
Xu Bing smiled and said: "It's true there aren't many, only two or three at most."
Xiao Ding smiled and said, "You happen to be one of them."
"I happen to be one of the people with this technique and skill, so you thought of me immediately." Xu Bing said with a smile.
"The person who asked you to make a knife must have thought of you first. People in the world only know that Xiao Li's flying knife is made of ordinary iron sheets. They don't know that there is extraordinary skill behind this ordinary flying knife. He Not only do I know your secret, I also know the secret of Xiao Li’s flying knife.” Xiao Ding frowned.
"That's why he was willing to pay a high price to cast a knife from me." Xu Bing also frowned.
"Is the man in white looking for you to make a knife? When did he find you?" Xiao Ding took a sip of tea and asked slowly.
Xu Bing asked in surprise: "Why, do you know that man in white?"
Xiao Ding sighed and smiled bitterly: "I don't know him. So far, I only know that he likes white clothes. Even when he kills people, he wears white clothes. I don't even know how old he is or what he looks like." Know."
Xu Bing also smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know either. I don't know any more than you know."
