"My old friend? I don't have any old friends in Lu State. Are they from the Ancient Yuan Empire?" Han Ruren's head hurts even more when he thought about it.
?b
"I haven't seen this before. This is a note written by that person." The servant took out the note.
Han Ruren opened the note and looked at it. There were four words written on it: "Underground Palace", "Oh, I probably know who it is. Take him to the side hall, no, take him to the martial arts field. I just arrived at the late Shield Knight
At the top, you might as well find someone to practice your skills with."
A young man with a sallow complexion followed the servant to Han Mansion's martial arts arena. Han Ruren was waiting there wearing a white training robe with blue stripes. She frowned at the visitor and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
"I don't think you look like Big Brother's subordinate." The yellow-faced young man smiled.
"Hmph, the dignified Lord Protector of the Country hides his head and shows his tail. Why are you so shameless?" Han Ruren confirmed the other party's identity as soon as he heard this.
"Haha, you can't say that. I'm still the Protector of the Internal Security Department. It's not appropriate to reveal my identity when I come to Lu State in private. Our country is currently at war with the Three Kingdoms. There are many eyes and ears in the Spring and Autumn City. Keep a low profile if you can." Disguised as a yellow-faced young man.
It's Ding Kui.
"I didn't expect you to be very popular at such a young age. What does the person in charge of Shaodian Kingdom have to do with you? It's quite useful to state your name." Han Ruren invited Ding Kui to the stone bench beside the martial arts field.
sit down.
"Well, the director of our country's Intelligence Department is my eldest brother. Those who sit in court in various countries will give him some face. The Han family can become our country's friends. Of course they are willing to have a good relationship with you."
"You have so many eldest brothers. It would be great if my younger brother is half as capable as you. I heard that you are one of the top ten masters of the young knights of Shaodian Kingdom. Later, you traveled with the epic knights. Now you have become very powerful, right?
"
"Hey, Sister Han is very concerned about me. The information is quite comprehensive. Judging from your posture, you seem to want to give me some advice." Ding Kui caught something from the expression on Han Ruren's face.
"Hahaha, what a clever person," Han Ruren laughed, walked to the weapon rack, pulled out two long swords, and threw one of them to Ding Kui, "I don't dare to tell you, I can tell you.
Competing among peers is not like the person in charge of your country here, what he gives me is just guidance."
Ding Kui took the sword and was surprised when he heard Han Ruren's words, "What? He attacked you? This is a bit disrespectful."
"It can't be considered an attack. He broke my sword with his bare hands. How could I bear it if he really attacked me?" Han Ruren walked into the martial arts arena.
Oops, the old man is very powerful. You should ask him for advice when you go back.
Ding Kui did a somersault in his sword dance, jumped into the martial arts arena, and said: "Three years ago, you were two steps higher than me. At that time, I couldn't learn your brilliant moves. When I met Ji Chan a few months ago, I had already advanced to the top."
Tower Mage, you can't ask him for advice; if you haven't advanced to the Fearless Knight today, then you and I can still practice."
"Oh, he advanced, I'm so happy for him, the Han family owes him." Han Ruren showed a complicated expression, and soon she cheered up, "Listen to your tone, you are not afraid of the fearless knight below, come on
Come on, let me see what you're capable of." After saying that, he slashed a sword light at Ding Kui's side.
Ding Kui faced the sword and crossed the sword.
Kick, kick, he took two steps back. There was a small step difference of more than one level, and it was a bit difficult to block the cold sword light.
"It took three years to get promoted from a trainee knight in the late stage to a shield-breaking knight in the mid-stage? Are you really Ding Kui?" Han Ruren was quite shocked.
"Hey, if I use my own sword, I won't be able to retreat even after these two steps. Look at the sword!" Ding Kui stepped forward diagonally, looking for the neutral position and striking out with a sword beam.
In the Han Mansion on the southern outskirts of Spring and Autumn City, Ding Kui didn't have to worry about being exposed when using magic, and it was no problem to defeat the fearless knights and below. However, in order to test his fighting spirit, he started to only use knight's methods to deal with Han Ruren.
At the peak of the later stage and in the middle stage, Han RuBan always took the initiative. The Han family's sword skills actually had a freezing effect, which made Ding Kui unexpectedly discover a function of ice jade.
Ice jade can absorb freezing energy, and the special effects of the Han family's swordsmanship are ineffective against Ding Kui who wears ice jade. Han Rubian becomes more and more surprised the more he fights.
"Ding Duhu, what kind of skills are you practicing?" Hanru asked while using the blade.
Ding Kui was under great pressure. Although Bingyu helped a little, his strength was indeed inferior to that of his opponent. He was holding back his face while dealing with Han Ruren's tricks and could not speak easily.
"Hey, your mid-term cultivation is stable, but I am already polishing the bottleneck of the Fearless Knight. If I can't even defeat you, I will have gained you eight years in vain." Han Ruren couldn't see Ding Kui coming back to win.
opportunity to relax.
Suddenly, Ding Kui struggled to break away from Han RuBen's suppression, stepped aside and used the "Sound of Nature", and the sharp noise pierced Han RuBen's ears.
There was a mocking look on Han Ruren's face. With her strength, how could she be easily disturbed by such sound waves? Unexpectedly, her eyes were blurred, her head was dizzy, and the sword moves in her hand were delayed for a while. When she regained consciousness,
Ding Kui had jumped up behind her, his sword pressed against her back.
"Hey, your move is very powerful. Even I can't withstand it. If you don't have the fighting spirit armor to protect you, I'm afraid the fearless knight really can't beat you." Han Ruren lowered the long sword in his hand.
"Lucky, lucky. If you had been prepared and the fighting spirit spread in your ears, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily." Ding Kui shamelessly instructed Han Rujian to defend against his so-called sonic attack.
"Your Majesty, you are so generous. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to defeat me next time?" Han Ruren thought that Ding Kui was very sincere and even told him how to crack his own trick.
How did she know that the method Ding Kui said was useless, that hypnosis could not be prevented by blocking the ears, and that the sonic attack could not affect the shield-breaking knight at the peak of the latter stage.
"Miss Han is my friend. We will never meet each other in battle in the future, and when you advance to the Fearless Knight, my tricks will be useless." These words are true. Ding Kui's hypnosis cannot penetrate the fighting spirit armor and is ineffective against the Fearless Knight.
.
"Sister." A young man in brocade robes walked into the martial arts arena and looked at Ding Kui beside Han Ruren warily.
"Brother Gang, just in time, come here." Han Ruren waved to the young man in brocade robes.
Han Gang's spirit was much better than when he first arrived in the Spring and Autumn Period. He had been practicing hard in the past two years to regain the fighting spirit he had lost while being imprisoned. He walked to Han Ruren, looked at Ding Kui, and asked: "This
yes?"
"He is Ding Kui, the crown prince of Shaodian Kingdom. It was with his help that Ji Chan obtained the position of prince. It can be said that he has a share of credit for your relief." Han Ruren reached out to take back Ding Kui's sword.
, "This is my brother-in-law, Han Gang."
"I've met Brother Ding." Hearing that he was the one who helped him get out of trouble, Han Gang immediately became polite.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. For some reasons, I changed my appearance. In terms of age, I am still two or three years younger than you. Brother Han is too polite." Being called brother Ding Kui felt a little embarrassed.
"Sister, you still need to confirm the guest list. By the way, will Brother Ding be available early next month?" Han Gang changed his title.
"At the beginning of next month? I should still be in Spring and Autumn City." Ding Kui counted the days. It would take time for the spy leaders from various strongholds to arrive at Spring and Autumn City. He would not return home with Ding Qi until after the New Year.
Han Gang looked at his sister, Han Ruren understood and said: "My younger brother is getting married at the beginning of next month. If the prince is free, please come and sit with me."
"Brother Han, it's your wedding. Congratulations, congratulations. I'm honored to be personally invited by Sister Ruren. Even if it's a big deal, I'll put it aside and I'll definitely come to bother you." Ding Kui met with Shaodian's secret agents and said
He had not officially received the information, and had just learned about Han Gang's upcoming marriage.
"Okay, Brother Ding must come. Sister, I won't interrupt you and Brother Ding to reminisce about old times. See you later, see you later." After saying that, Han Gang left in a hurry.
After a duel, Han Ruren couldn't keep Ding Kui in the martial arts arena anymore, so he took him to the study and said as he walked: "My brother is busy with marriage, I don't think it's strange. Have you ever been to the Ancient Yuan Empire?"
Can you tell me about Ji Chan's situation?"
Ding Kui came to see Han Ruren not only to reminisce about old times, but also to follow his father's orders. He did not come to defeat him. They got acquainted because of Ji Chan, and it was Ji Chan who could open up the conversation.
After listening to Ding Kui's experience in the Guyuan Empire, Han Ruren couldn't help but sigh, "Back then, when I went to Funiu Mountain, Ji Chan did it for the throne, I did it for my brother, you did it for experience, and we all got what we wanted. Three years later,
You all have gone one step further, and I can only envy you. If I were a boy, my situation might be different." She thought more about the predicament of the Han family. If Han Chong had had more sons, he might not have died of illness that year.
Ding Kui didn't know the story behind this. His basic purpose of coming this time had been achieved, and he wanted to leave when he saw that Han Ruren was in a bad mood.
"Is it convenient for the person in charge of your country to come to my younger brother's wedding banquet? If he can come, I will send you the wedding invitation together." Things in Han Mansion are as cold as a knife and Ding Kui is not left alone.
"I won't show up when he's here, so you don't have to prepare for him." The more people there are, the more inconvenient it is for Ding Qi to show up. Ding Kui can grasp this measure.
Han Ruren had just sent Ding Kui away, and her second uncle was already waiting for her in the study.
"Second uncle came just in time. There is an extra distinguished guest coming to attend Brother Gang's wedding banquet. However, it is not convenient for him to reveal his identity. Please make arrangements." Han Ruren has left most of the affairs of the Han family to his second uncle.
"Ah, this matter is easy to handle. Ruren, this time I came to tell you about the Teng family. They rejected our conditions and are determined to oppose Ganger's marriage. I don't know what trouble will happen when the time comes.
"The second uncle looked anxious.
"Are they done yet?" Han Ruren became angry when he heard this, "The Xuan family is willing to marry their daughter to the Han family, what right does the Teng family have to object? Are they just bullying us, the Han family, as foreigners?"
"I'm afraid it's for this reason that the Teng family is the marquis of the Lu country, and the Han family is nothing when they come to the Lu country. You haven't been promoted to the fearless knight yet. The Han family doesn't have a fifth-level combatant in charge. They don't talk about the Han family at all.
Take it seriously." The second uncle said with difficulty.
"Isn't this reasonable? I can't survive anywhere without strength?" Han Ruren knew the answer in his heart, "I am only one step away from the fearless knight. Could it be that the fearless knight of the Teng family will take action this time?"
