Chapter 30 A Girl

Under the pavilion, the crowd that had gathered gradually dispersed.

Tonight, the poems and verses written by the men of letters and scholars seemed dim under the sound of fists and legs . Even the onlookers who had left were still discussing the fierce battle that had just taken place. The young man had broken their views time and again.

the Li River is still there, and the numerous lights are made brighter by tonight's episode. Some people are happy and some are sad , and the excitement that belongs to Qiqiao Night also reaches its climax after this scene. However, the other protagonist in the story has long since disappeared into the night, leaving nothing but a mess.

Shen Kuang and others who took advantage of the chaos to leave were now walking back to Red Clay Alley. Xiaocha and several other girls followed Shen Kuang and Su Yao. The previous fear had all dissipated at this time, and they were chattering about Shen Kuang's handsome deeds of defeating the old man.

Su Yao, who was walking side by side with Shen Kuang, took off the veil that covered her face. The evening breeze was blowing her black silk stockings and skirt wantonly. She walked slowly, and from time to time she would lower her head to look at her steps, as if she wanted to say something. After a moment, she finally said slowly, "Thank you for saving me again."

Shen Kuang turned to look at her, smiled and waved his hand, "Why should we be polite between us? I always hate those bastards who bully others, but this time they have bullied you. Of course, I have to teach them a lesson." He danced again. He danced his fists and looked determined.

Su Yao smiled sweetly. She had been in contact with Shen Kuang for some time, and the relationship between the two had become more and more familiar, so she didn't say any more polite words. "I actually knew you were very powerful, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

Hearing Su Yao's praise, Shen Kuang grinned happily, "It's not that great. Compared with the master, I'm far behind!"

These words were meant to be modest, but now they always sounded like boasting. Su Yao smiled and said, "With the strength of senior Sword God, there are few opponents in the entire world. Comparing yourself with seniors is not being modest, but more like praising your own strength."

Shen Kuang said with a smile, "Maybe it's because I haven't fought with many people since I started practicing martial arts, so I don't know how high my cultivation level is. I used to ask the master a lot, but the master wouldn't tell me. He just told me over and over again. I haven’t reached Grandmaster yet.”

Su Yao said slowly as she walked, "Your cultivation has reached the early stage of Guiyuan Realm. I don't know how deep your internal strength is. I can feel that the old man just now is very strong. Follow me from Uncle Mu. The feeling is the same, they should all be at the Great Perfection of Guiyuan Realm. Your inner strength is a bit stronger than his, maybe you have reached the level of a master."

Shen Kuang shook his head and said, "Master must not have lied to me when he said that I am still far from the true master state. It may be that my internal strength is deeper than the ordinary Guiyuan state, but I am still far from the master level. ”

"Anyway, it's a very powerful state." Su Yao said with a smile.

The corners of Shen Kuang's mouth also raised slightly, "Actually, my swordsmanship is more powerful."

"In that case, I have a great friend."

Shen Kuang slapped his chest and said with a smile , "Of course! I will protect you from now on."

In the night, the two of them walked and laughed, and the atmosphere was relaxed. There were several banging explosions in the distant sky. The two turned around and saw that most of the sky was illuminated. It was the sound of fireworks exploding. Shen Kuang, Su Yao and several little girls were attracted by this beautiful scene and gradually stopped.

Looking up at the sky, watching the colorful fireworks of different shapes blooming like rain , and then falling one after another, it is extremely beautiful. Fireworks in the world are scorching and colorful; obsessions are dispersed , as vast as fog, and all the unhappiness tonight is gone with the wind as this round of fireworks dissipates.

······

A few rays of red light showed in the eastern sky, the mist gradually dispersed, and the morning in the red mud lane was still so quiet and peaceful.

Shen Kuang still got up early and practiced his sword skills under the peach tree. When the women who got up early saw him , they all smiled and complimented her . It must be that their girl had already told him what happened last night. Uncle Zhu saw Shen Kuang's figure across an entire alley and shouted, "Xiao Kuang'er !" His voice was so loud that it shocked the neighbors. It seems that the depression caused by Zhu Huyue's departure has now dissipated, and the cheerful Uncle Zhu is back again.

It's just that Uncle Zhu's voice was too loud, which made several babies in the alley cry, so he was scolded by the women. Shen Kuang's voice was not that loud, and he did not dare to be so loud. He just waved to Uncle Zhu from a distance.

The sun gradually came out, and a new day began. At the entrance of Red Clay Alley, Uncle Zhu was chopping up the newly arrived pork. His hands were greasy, and he was humming a little tune from time to time. He was in a very good mood.

"Uncle!" A low voice from a girl suddenly came from the alley.

Uncle Zhu looked over and saw two girls coming to the alley . One was wearing a white dress with a white veil covering her face, and the other was wearing a dark green dress and was waving at her.

"What's wrong, girl?" Uncle Zhu responded with a smile and continued with the work in his hands.

After hearing Uncle Zhu's response, the girl asked again, "Uncle, where does the sword-practicing boy in the alley live?"

"Practicing swordplay? Young man?" Uncle Zhu muttered a few words and then reacted, smiling, "Oh, girl, you are talking about Xiao Kuang'er , right? His home is not far from here. Just walk along the alley and you will find the house with a willow tree in the yard. He should have just finished practicing swordplay and be at home."

Hearing this, the girl who asked the question showed joy on her face. She turned her head to look at the woman in white beside her and said, "Miss, it's just in front of the alley!"

"Then let's go."

"Thank you, uncle." The girl did not forget to express her gratitude when leaving.

Looking at the backs of the two girls, Uncle Zhu felt suspicious and happy at the same time. Xiao Kuang'er just didn't make a sound. If he made a sound... what was going on? Uncle Zhu couldn't think clearly for a moment, but he Knowing that Xiao Kuang'er had actually found two more wives, and that the girl in white was still... he couldn't help but smile.

"Miss, the houses in this alley are so beautiful." The girl was attracted by the buildings in the alley, so she said slowly while walking.

"This herringbone house structure is similar to the folk customs in the East China Sea. Maybe some of the families here came from there."

"It's so beautiful!" the girl exclaimed.

Today's swordsmanship practice has been completed, and Shen Kuang is sitting at the stone table under the willow tree to rest. He poured cold water on his face from the pond, and the hot feeling in the summer was instantly reduced.

Su Yao sat opposite him, looked at him and asked, "Are you practicing the swordsmanship inherited from your Shen family?"

Shen Kuang picked up the herbal tea on the table and took a sip. "What I'm practicing today is the sword my master taught me, called Hanwu!"

Su Yao was surprised, "Senior Sword God's famous swordsmanship?"

"Is my master really so famous in the world?"

"That's right, Nanke Sword God Li Chengren is a man who travels all over the country and is almost unknown to everyone!"

"Is it really that powerful? Maybe it's because I haven't seen the master take action in so many years. Sword God, this nickname is really majestic."

He knew how powerful the master was, but there was no comparison since he was young, so he couldn't measure how powerful the master was. But now looking at Su Yao's respectful expression and the title of Master Sword God, Shen Kuang can I know how powerful the master is. Speaking of the master, I can't help but think of the master's departure. It has been a few months since I saw the master, but I don't know where the next meeting will be.

"Master, master, where have you been?" Shen Kuang thought silently in his heart.

Su Yao hadn't noticed the slight change in Shen Kuang's expression, and still said from the side, "Uncle Mu told me a lot about seniors in the past. Although Uncle Mu used swords, he admired senior Sword God very much. Uncle Mu said that Donghai In the first battle, Senior Sword God defeated the five great masters alone, which shows how powerful Senior is. There is a saying about Senior Sword God circulating in the world. "

"Oh? What are you talking about?" Shen Kuang asked curiously.

"Under the Hanwu sword, no gods or ghosts can be spared. The senior's Hanwu sword is the second-ranked sword on the Hundred Swords List. Coupled with Hanwu's sword skills, there are almost no opponents in the world."

"Second on the Hundred Swords List?" Shen Kuang asked doubtfully . This was the first time he had heard of the name Hundred Swords List .

"Well, second. Your Youya ranks seventh." Su Yao explained.

Shen Kuang's words came naturally, but in fact, he didn't know what Su Yao was talking about, so he smiled awkwardly, "Actually, I don't even know what the Hundred Swords List is? "

Su Yao frowned and looked at him, as if looking at a fool. She was about to reluctantly explain to Shen Kuang, but she never thought that a woman's voice suddenly came from the door of the courtyard , "I came uninvited and disturbed you two?" The voice was clear and tactful, which immediately attracted the attention of Shen Kuang and Su Yao. Notice.

The two of them turned to look at the door and found two women standing there at this time. One was dressed in white, with her cheeks covered with white gauze, and the other was dressed in dark green. They were looking through the gap in the fence door. They in the courtyard.

Shen Kuang got up and walked to the door, and Su Yao followed. He opened the wooden door, and his eyes first fell on the woman in a dark green dress. She was a little girl, looking at Shen Kuang with big eyes. Then she looked at the woman in white next to her. The woman's eyes were ethereal, and her cold outline revealed an aloof temperament. At this time, she met Shen Kuang's gaze with a smile on her eyebrows.

The identities of the two people can be roughly guessed at a glance. One is a young lady from a wealthy family and the other is a personal maid.

"Who are you?" Shen Kuang looked at them and asked.

"My name is Chen'er, and this is my young lady. The young master probably doesn't know us. We saw the young master's skills last night and admired him today." The maid named Chen'er said, with a smile on her face as she spoke. A sense of harmony.

However, after Shen Kuang heard her talking about last night, he immediately became wary and frowned slightly.

Chen'er noticed the change in Shen Kuang's expression and knew that he might have misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained, "Master, don't get me wrong, we are not with that person last night, we are my young lady, and my young lady admires you, so. . . ”

Before she could finish her words, she was patted by the young lady, "Damn girl, you know how shameless you are!"

"Ah, miss, didn't you say that yourself?" Chen'er covered her head to dodge, pouted and muttered, feeling very aggrieved. But the lady actually didn’t exert any force and it didn’t hurt.

The woman in white looked at Shen Kuang and said softly, "Can we go in and talk?"

"Of course, come in first!"

Although Shen Kuang was still surprised by their sudden visit, he still made an invitation gesture and invited them into the courtyard. Su Yao remained silent and only made eye contact with the lady just now. The other party nodded politely and she smiled back.

After welcoming the two girls into the courtyard, the four of them sat under the willow tree. Then Shen Kuang poured a cup of tea for each of them and said, "Two girls, please have tea."

"Thank you, sir." The lady thanked her and casually took off the white gauze on her face, revealing her true face. The woman's skin is like cream, her brows are like light smoke , her eyes are full of autumn water , and her face is full of peach blossoms. She is a first-class beautiful woman.

"I hope you don't mind me coming here to visit without informing you in advance . My name is Jiang Ning, and her name is Chen'er. She is my personal maid. I don't know what the names of the master and this girl are?" Jiang Ning took the tea. He smiled sweetly and his voice was melodious.

"Shen Kuang!"

"Su Yao."

"Mr. Shen, Miss Su! We came uninvited. I hope we won't disturb you."

"I'm not bothering you. I just don't know what the purpose of the girl's visit is?" Shen Kuang said without beating around the bush, going straight to the point. He knew that it would be a matter of time before others would find him after causing the commotion last night, but he didn't expect that someone would find this place so quickly. Although Shen Kuang didn't think these two girls had any ill intentions and didn't look like they were looking for trouble, he always felt that their identities were not simple.

"Master Shen, do you know who the person who had a conflict with you last night was?" Jiang Ning did not answer Shen Kuang's question directly, but asked back.

"Which high-ranking family member is a descendant?" Shen Kuang asked.

Su Yao on the side said, "People from the royal family." Her tone was soft, as if she already knew.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised and looked at Su Yao meaningfully. But she hid it well and didn't show her surprise .

"Miss Su guessed it right, that person is the thirteenth prince of the Wei Dynasty, Yuan Wu."

Although Shen Kuang doesn't have much contact with the outside world, he is not a fool. If the other party knew that the person with whom he had a problem was a prominent prince, and still dared to contact him, then the other party's purpose must not be simple.

"Since Miss Jiang knows that we have offended the prince, why do you dare to come to us so confidently? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Hearing Shen Kuang's words, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Your Majesty has many princes today, and the position of the prince has been hanging in the balance, so every prince is secretly accumulating strength and vying for the throne wantonly. Although he is a prince, you are welcome. It is said that there are still many people and forces in the world who dare to compete with him. "

"For example, you!" Shen Kuang looked at her deeply and said slowly.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It's easy to talk to smart people."

"So?" Shen Kuang said calmly.

"Huh?" Jiang Ning frowned slightly and asked in doubt .

Shen Kuang said, "So you want me to join you?"

Jiang Ning shook her head, "The young master is extremely talented and will definitely not easily join any force. And as far as I know, the young master also has a disciple, so Jiang Ning came here to discuss cooperation with the young master."

"cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperate! I don't know if the young master is interested. As long as we let out the voice and say that the young master is ours, even if he is the thirteenth prince, he will not dare to do anything to the young master behind his back. The man who fought with the young master last night is named Mo Ying, known as Mo Laogui among the people in the world, is a man who is determined to retaliate, so if he suffers a loss at the hands of the young master, he will definitely attack the young master secretly. "
