"It's a simple matter, just ask those people to give up their seats!" Zhu Jie blurted out, but in the middle of the sentence, he also thought of something and glanced in the direction of Si Tianjian and others.
Ye Ya already smiled and said, "Thank you, official."
After saying that, he took the clothes handed over by the palace maid with a blushing face, and wore them on himself so generously without shying away from anyone.
His stature was much shorter and thinner than Zhu Jie's, so Zhu Jie's clothes seemed a bit loose on him, with the hem dragging directly to the ground. He should have turned a set of regular clothes into a robe.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Jie didn't know why, but he felt a sense of love and affection in his heart. He was about to ask someone to put on smaller clothes, but he didn't expect that Ye Yao had already saluted him again, and then turned around. Head towards Chengguan.
However, before he could reach Cheng Guan, he heard another voice in the palace, "There is no need for the immortal masters to take action against these small characters."
The speaker had sharp eyes like a hawk. Although his clothes were a little tattered, his hands were extremely clean, and the nails on his fingers were carefully trimmed.
He saluted Zhu Jie respectfully and said, "Qi Xiu, a common man, wants to take back the weapons stored at the official's house and use them. The common man promises that he will never hurt anyone."
"Presumptuous!" the guards scolded him one after another.
But Zhu Jie hesitated and nodded, "Yes, but your weapons are all at Xuandemen, and it will take a long time to go back and forth."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just go and I'll be back soon." Huo Xingsun chuckled and jumped into the lamp flame again. Within a few breaths, he jumped out of the lamp flame again.
Holding six swords in his arms, he was still muttering, "Good guy, these swords are all yours!"
"Youlao Immortal, my sword is too fast and one is not enough."
Qi Xiu thanked Huo Xingsun, took the six long and short swords from his hands, and hung them on his waist, back and chest.
After a little tidying up, he walked towards the center of the hall.
On the other side, Night Crow saw someone standing up for them, so he stopped and stood aside to watch the excitement.
He knew that Qi Xiu wanted to take the opportunity to please their master and apprentice, but he didn't resent this, because if a person knew how to assess the situation, it at least meant that he was not stupid.
And smart people usually live better.
Qi Xiu strode up to Lu Ping, who was closest to him, and said in a deep voice, "The officials have spoken, why don't you all get up honestly?"
Lu Ping raised his head and glanced first at Zhu Jie, who was as silent as a clay statue behind the case, and then at Cheng Guan, who was not far away with a dark face and was about to fly into a rage.
Then he turned his attention back to the plate of seabass in front of the case.
He grabbed another piece with his chopsticks, dipped it in the old glutinous rice wine in front of him, and slowly put it into his mouth.
Qi Xiu was not angry at being ignored like this. Instead, he said, "Since you like to eat fish, you know that the best fish meat should be red flesh and white skin. It is as thin as cicada wings, can be blown up and melts in your mouth."
After a pause, he continued, "When Qi was young, he went to sea on a boat. Unfortunately, he encountered a storm. Everyone else on the boat died. I was the only one who survived. I drifted on the sea for seven days, and I was about to die. , at this moment, an immortal came and rescued me on land.
"That is a small island called Yingzhou. There are sacred mushrooms and fairy grass on it. There is a jade mountain thousands of feet high. There is also a stone spring in the mountain. It is called jade wine. Drink it like wine and you can forget your worries. There is a palace in the clouds. There are thousands of palaces, and there is an immortal living in each palace.
"The immortal who saved me is called Dai Qiu. He loves fish the most. In order to repay his life-saving grace, I fished and cooked fish for him every day. For twelve years, my fish cooking became better and better. , In addition, he also unexpectedly developed a swordsmanship."
As he spoke, he pulled out a long sword wrapped in shark skin from his waist.
The moment the sword was unsheathed, everyone in the hall felt a chill.
And Qi Xiu didn't waste any more nonsense. With a flick of his wrist, he picked up a piece of fish meat from Lu Ping's bowl. Then he saw him pull out the remaining five swords in order and slash at the piece of fish meat in the air.
Because his movements were too fast, everyone only saw a few flashes of cold light.
And the fish fillet that had already been sliced very thin by the chef was cut into six pieces by him.
After being divided, the fish meat cannot even be described as thin as cicada wings. It is as light as snowflakes, slowly falling from the air. Looking at Qi Xiu, he had already returned the sword and sheathed it.
Witnessing this miraculous scene, many people in the palace were dumbfounded. Originally, some people despised Qi Xiu because he was the first one to stand up to please Master Dongxuan, but now no one does this anymore. idea.
Zhu Jie was also shocked, but what attracted him more was the story Qi Xiu told before. If Master Dongxuan was not still around, Zhu Jie would have wanted to ask Qi Xiu immediately where the immortal named Dai Qiu he mentioned was now Where is it, and where is Yingzhou going?
Zhu Jie then glanced at Qi Xiu a few more times, as if to remember him in his mind.
When the latter saw this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, knowing that his goal had been achieved. Of course it was necessary to make friends with Donghua Zhenren's master and disciple, but hooking up with Zhu Jie was his ultimate goal.
However, before he could enjoy the fruits of this victory, he heard Lu Ping sigh softly, "Why, is it difficult to cut fish? It takes twelve years of practice?"
As Lu Ping said this, he finally put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then turned his other hand over, and there was a dagger in the palm of his hand.
Qi Xiu felt that the dagger looked familiar. Then he touched his chest and found that the place where the sword originally hung was empty.
when? ! Qi Xiu was shocked. He had no memory of how the young man in front of him took off his dagger.
This made him feel a little disgraceful, and the joy of showing off his unique skills was diluted a lot.
But what he didn't expect was that Lu Pingguang hadn't finished picking up the sword yet. After saying those words that sounded a bit sour, he actually followed the swordsman named Qi's previous behavior and picked up a piece of fish meat from the plate, and then The sword came out like a dragon, slashing at the fish in the air.
The movements were exactly the same as Qi Xiu's, and in the end, the piece of fish meat was also divided into six.
Lu Ping threw the dagger back to Qi Xiu, who looked pale as if he'd seen a ghost. He didn't forget to strike again, "Do you remember the way back to Yingzhou? If not, go to that island and practice again." .”
"good!"
After a brief silence, Cheng Guan was the first to slap the table and cheer loudly.
His sudden roar startled everyone in the hall, but even those who were displeased with Si Tianjian and others had to admit that Lu Ping's move just now was indeed extremely wonderful.
Although some sharp-eyed people could see that the fish meat cut out by Lu Ping was not as neat as the swordsman surnamed Qi, and Qi Xiu used six swords to show off his skills.
But considering that Lu Ping only took one look and learned the opponent's swordsmanship that he had practiced hard for twelve years to an inseparable degree, there is no need to say who is stronger or weaker.
