"General, we are almost approaching the battleground between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The post station here has been removed a long time ago. We may have to sleep in the wild tonight, so why not stop temporarily and find an open area to camp."
Yi Tianfan looked around and saw that the surrounding mountains were not high and the terrain here was not dangerous. It was considered a good place.
Zuo Zhou smiled and said: "Your father was absolutely right in entrusting the business to you. If you hadn't been busy along the way, I don't know if we would have been able to have a hot bite."
"The general has given you a reward."
This is not flattery by Zuo Zhou. Cao Zhengchun was responsible for all the trivial matters before. Now when it is Zuo Zhou’s turn to take charge, he realizes how annoying these tasks are. Speaking of which, Zuo Zhou, as the leader of the procession, he
He shouldn't be responsible for this, but Li Xunhuan doesn't understand either, which is very helpless.
After all, it is a question of life experience and has little to do with whether you are smart or not.
"You are the groom's official, so I feel sorry for you to be responsible for this."
"If the general hadn't helped Mingjian Villa to break the situation, my Yi family might have been ruined long ago, and trivial matters don't matter..."
The troops settled down to camp, and all the cavalry tents surrounded the women's tents. Jiang Yuyan walked out of Li Chan's tent and saw Yi Tianfan sitting next to the fire from a distance, cooking hot soup considerately.
That elegant look must have come from Li Chan.
It's a pity that according to Hu Hai's plan, when he arrives at the Yi family, Xu Fu will grab a maid and pretend to be Li Chan to marry Yi Tianfan. Of course, the marriage plan is still inconvenient. It doesn't matter what Li Chan was before. What is important is
From now on, she will be Li Si's daughter and the county head granted by the emperor. For the maid, her status is suddenly noble, but for the Yi family, the situation is a bit complicated, and for Yi Tianfan, it may be even more contradictory.
Jiang Yuyan shook her head, and took a few steps forward to stop Yi Tianfan, who was about to give soup to Li Chan, "Groom, please stop."
Yi Tianfan was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Yuyan in confusion, "The groom doesn't know something. It's not appropriate for the newlyweds to meet before taking off the hijab. It's unlucky!"
Yi Tianfan glanced at the tent. Although he felt something was wrong, he still nodded and smiled: "It's Tianfan Menglang, then there's Miss Laojiang."
"The groom is very polite."
Jiang Yuyan took the soup very considerately, turned around and entered the tent, then took a spoon and drank by herself, "Well, the groom is a good craftsman, you will be blessed in the future!"
Xu Fu, who was disguised as Li Chan, snorted coldly, "If you like her, you might as well marry her directly."
"I am doing this to protect the face of the court. If the Yi family notices it, they will definitely not be the ones to be embarrassed." Jiang Yuyan took another sip of soup, "Yes, for this sip of soup, when the Yi family comes,
I will appoint the most beautiful maid to be Li Chan."
Xu Fu didn't care, "It's up to you, but there's something I want to remind you. Your father and brother died in the hands of Li Yuanfang. Don't think about any luck. Li Yuanfang already has three women. You don't want to share the joys and sorrows with him.
But even if you have a noble status, he will not fall in love with you. Moreover, if Li Yuanfang knows that you have known about his relationship with Yihua Palace, I am afraid he will kill you and silence you!"
Jiang Yuyan has a cold face, why are you threatening me in reverse? You haven't even deceived my sister these two times, and you still want to fool me, the real murderer?
"Of course I know how to measure. I can't suddenly change my temperament. That would make Li Yuanfang suspicious... Also, what exactly do you want to do? You always say you want me to cover, but you also want me to know what to cover."
.”
"This is not a problem you should worry about." Xu Fu was very arrogant, as if it was not Jiang Yuyan who slapped him in the first place.
Jiang Yuyan was equally disdainful and said it as if she was very willing to know. In fact, her purpose for this trip was to continue to strengthen her relationship with Li Yuanfang. Companionship is only the most basic thing. The key is to play a huge role. Just in time, you guys
The troublemaker was brought right to the door. If she doesn't cooperate, how can she be worthy of your painstaking efforts?
…
Mingjian Villa
Yi Tianxing slowly pushed Yi Yun to inspect the various sword refining rooms. Although his two sons were getting married, a happy event was not a reason to take a vacation, not to mention that they were in the weapons business, and being able to go to them
Who of the people who come to buy weapons are easy to get along with? They don't care whether you are happy with your employer or not. In short, what I want must be given to me on time.
However, Yi Yun didn't seem to be spending his energy on patrols at this time. Instead, he asked with some worry: "Have all the people who were sent out to investigate come back?"
Yi Tianxing knew what he was talking about, and his expression was slightly serious, "I'm back now, and those spies have already withdrawn. They probably think that my Yi family is impregnable, so they don't dare to do anything."
Yi Yun frowned slightly, "When will you get rid of your arrogance? In this world of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, although your talent is very good, it is still not top-notch. Ximen Chuixue in the imperial capital of Qin, overseas flying immortals
Ye Gucheng of the island, Feng Wubei of the Huashan Sword Sect of the Ming Dynasty, which of these heroes is worse than you, and which swordsmanship is not superb? Not to mention General Li Yuanfang who is no longer on the same level as you! You used to play games
That’s all. Now that you want to start a family, you should focus on practicing martial arts. Otherwise, how can you protect your woman?"
The corner of Yi Tianxing's mouth twitched, that's all for the first few, he can at least stand up, but if you compare it to Li Yuanfang, it's too much, that's a monster!
Yi Yun sighed helplessly: "This spy may not have given up anything by leaving. He may have completed his mission and obtained the information he wanted. Don't be careless!"
Yi Tianxing obviously couldn't listen, "Oh, what should we do?"
"What should you do? You are about to start a family. As the head of a family, you must learn to make decisions. Ask me what to do. I still want to know what to do!"
Yi Tianxing is a little confused, don't you know this too?
Yi Yun was a little depressed. He didn't know whether he was telling himself or simply muttering, "The key is not knowing who the enemy is. No enemy has ever dared to be so rampant before. Probing and investigating on this scale...could they
Is there going to be a war?”
"..." Yi Tianxing followed Yi Yun obediently, not daring to speak.
Yi Yun continued to sigh: "My Named Sword Villa is just a martial arts sect after all. It would be fine if we were dealing with a vendetta, but if we were facing an army..."
Yi Tianxing interrupted, "Don't we have relations with many forces? We also have communication with Da Qin. We can ask for help!"
Yi Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him. Da Qin had indeed become their backer to some extent, but this backer was a bit far away. The best they could do was ask the nearby garrison for help. But how could there be experts among the garrison?
If the enemy is simply based on the number of people, the Sword Villa can easily support the garrison to come to the rescue. But if it is a master, where should you go to ask for help? The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the relationship with many may not be useful at a critical moment, so
, being tough on yourself is the last word.
Yi Yun's thoughts in this regard are actually very similar to Hu Hai's. They both long for a master that they can control, a powerful enough deterrent force.
This is why Hu Hai accepted Xu Fu. Even after knowing so much about him, Xu Fu was a little unable to do anything at the level of the local rankings. He might not be able to defeat anyone in the imperial capital.
Yi Yun's hope lies in Yi Tianxing, but the growth of a master also requires a period of time. What he is most afraid of is that Yi Tianxing has not yet grown up, and this powerful enemy will come up.
"Forget it, Tianxing, you immediately enter the secret room with the eight ancestral swords of Mingjian Villa, and don't come out until your eldest brother's team comes back. If anything changes, leave the tunnel immediately."
Yi Tianxing was a little confused, "It's not that big of a deal, count the days. Brother will be back soon. It won't take two days. It's such a short time, I still need it..."
"Stop talking nonsense, just think of it as retreating to practice the Eight Famous Sword Styles."
"But you haven't taught me the eighth move yet, what should I practice?" Yi Tianxing felt a little aggrieved. There were eight swords handed down from his ancestors at Mingjian Villa, each with a sword technique, seven of which were sword moves.
The last posture is a method of combining seven sword postures into one. However, after the union, there will be changes due to different understandings of each person, so each generation of masters at Famous Sword Villa understands it differently.
"Hey, the eighth move is a fusion technique. You will understand it after seeing it. As for understanding sword moves and other things, just have a brain and think about it." Yi Yun dismissed Yi Tianxing as if he was drying flies.
Yi Tianxing had no choice but to hold the sword box and take all eight swords into the secret room.
The eight swords of Mingjian Villa are made of different materials, including white jade, gold, bronze, and precious seabed cold iron and meteorite iron. The eight sword techniques on them are not the eight in the traditional sense.
The sword moves are martial arts principles similar to the Dugu Nine Swords Breaking Sword Style and the Breaking Sword Style.
But it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a martial arts principle, because the sword style is only the appearance, and what is truly precious is the sword intention contained in the eight swords!
As a swordsman, I actually pay attention to purity. It is hard for you to imagine that there is a kind of sword intention that is the fusion of eight other sword intentions. It feels like the owner of the eight swords feels that his descendants are not up to par, and is afraid that they will learn from it.
I don't know this kind of sword intent, so I divided it into eight to reduce the difficulty of learning.
Yi Tianxing's thoughts at this time were all about getting married, so how could he concentrate on studying martial arts? The effect of the eight swords in his hands was not much different from that of Itchy Tickling.
Just like this, after one day and one night, Yi Tianxing felt hungry in his belly. He stood up and was about to leave the secret room, but suddenly he felt a shocking murderous intention, cold! The cold that soaked into the blood, heart and soul!
He slowly took his hand away from the mechanism in the secret room, and then stepped back step by step, as if any more movement would lead to death.
With trembling lips, he slowly stuffed the eight swords back into the sword case, and then moved bit by bit into the tunnel...
…
Another day and night, when the bride-to-be team arrived at Mingjian Villa, all they saw was ruins...
