The terrain of the Tang Dynasty was flat, with not many high mountains and ridges, but more hills and valleys, but they were also called mountains.
There is a pavilion in Wuyi Mountain to the southwest of Shuiyun City. There is a group of women with both beauty and martial arts. There are many pavilions in the mountain, like heroic women, glowing with their pride.
In an attic on the mountainside, in a woman's boudoir, Shangguan Mingyue was taking care of her beloved knife, Lengyue. The sound of "tap-tat-tat" footsteps came from outside, and soon a slim and slim woman came. Arrive at Shangguan Mingyue's room.
"Senior sister, senior sister, there is a letter for you from the Wu family." Duanmu Qingqing said, panicking about the letter in her hand.
"Bring it over." Shangguan Mingyue stretched out her slender hands and asked Duanmu Qingqing to hand over the letter.
Duanmu Qingqing did not hand the letter to Shangguan Mingyue immediately, but grabbed her hand with his own, rubbed it constantly, and said: "Senior sister, how do you maintain your hands? They are still so delicate. I can't do it anymore." , I have developed a cocoon in my sword practice recently.”
With a "pop" sound, Shangguan Mingyue knocked off Duanmu Qingqing's mischievous hand, took the letter herself, then put down the work at hand, took the letter to the balcony of the attic, and opened the envelope in the late autumn wind.
Duanmu Qingqing took advantage of her senior sister to leave and began to stretch out her claws on Leng Yue again.
"How many times have I told you, it's OK, but don't touch it, or I'll throw you down from here." Shangguan Mingyue turned her back to Duanmu Qingqing and knew what she was going to do.
Duanmu Qingqing retracted her hand angrily and lay on the low table with Leng Yue on it. She looked at the famous sword with her two big eyes and sighed: "It's so beautiful."
"Senior Sister, you said that when the Pavilion Master gave me this sword and asked Senior Sister to participate in the martial arts competition, then we Senior Sisters would only have one sword each."
Shangguan Mingyue read the letter and replied: "A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade."
"Senior sister, why do you call me a common man?" Duanmu Qingqing pouted and said like a little woman.
"The Pavilion Master didn't give it to you at first, just to let you practice more."
"In other words, she didn't expect me to win the first prize."
"Being able to win is your ability, but not being able to win is also an experience."
Duanmu Qingqing let out a long sigh, then fell to the ground and lay on the carpet, saying, "I'm so tired, I really want to take a rest."
After the last failure, Duanmu Qingqing practiced even harder. The senior sister also pointed out her shortcomings, which was that she had too little experience in fighting and almost no fighting in the face of death. This was also the biggest problem between her, Chen Mo and Mu Qi. gap.
"Then just rest, it's okay to be tense all the time." Shangguan Mingyue had read to the end of the letter.
"Senior sister, what does that guy from Wukou want to do with you again? Isn't that guy attracted to you? He has been writing to you frequently recently." Duanmu Qingqing turned to look at senior sister's back.
"Oh, who said it wasn't you? Your senior sister, I am born with a beauty that I can't let go of. I chose to be by the king's side."
Duanmu Qingqing looked at the senior sister's back with disgusting eyes.
"Sister, you are a much bigger warrior."
"It doesn't matter how old you are when two people are in love."
"Ah~!" Duanmu Qingqing rolled on the ground and said, "Sister, tell me quickly, this is not true."
"Why, aren't you willing to accept the fact that the warrior is obsessed with the senior sister?" Shangguan Mingyue took the letter to a candlestick, lit the letter, and threw it into the copper basin next to it.
"I, how could I?" Duanmu Qingqing said evasively. "Who said I like that guy?"
"I didn't say whether you like him or not." Shangguan Mingyue watched as the letter slowly burned away and turned into ashes.
"Senior sister, you are trying to trick me again." Duanmu Qingqing was so ashamed that she buried her head on the soft cushion and said in a low voice.
"Aren't you inquiring about Chen Mo recently? Wukou told me something, do you want to listen to it?"
"Yes." Duanmu Qingqing immediately sat up.
"He is really a changeable person. I was jealous of my senior sister just because of the martial bandits, but now I heard Chen Mo and immediately changed his attitude."
"Senior sister, I really don't have any feelings for Chen Mo. I just want to know how he, who is the same age as me, is doing now, and whether his and I are one step closer in strength." Duanmu Qingqing looked at her.
With her own hands, she has worked very hard these days, and her progress is obvious to everyone.
"You have indeed made progress, but..." Shangguan Mingyue paused.
"Has he become stronger again?" Duanmu Qingqing knew what the senior sister's pause meant. "I understand how someone like him could stand still and wait for others to catch up."
"He killed Mookie."
"It's... understandable. They are rivals. Not only is the martial arts arena their battlefield, but the world is also their battlefield. To kill opponents who cherish each other like this, wouldn't it be..." Duanmu Qingqing felt a little pity. "
It would be boring without an opponent of similar strength."
"When did I tell you that their strengths are similar?"
"They were almost tied in the martial arts arena. Even if Chen Mo improves, it's not far behind."
"You know, it wasn't Chen Mo who asked Mu Qi to touch him, but Mu Qi and four people teamed up to surround Chen Mo, two in the third realm and two in the second realm. In the end, three of them died in Chen Mo's hands. Although the last one escaped,
But one arm is also missing, and the shoulder was just pierced." Shangguan Mingyue said the news she just learned from the letter.
Duanmu Qingqing was speechless. She knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and looked at her hands, which were clenched in fists on her knees.
"So now, even senior sister I am not 100% sure that I can win him. His progress is too exaggerated."
After being silent for a while, Duanmu Qingqing raised her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as he doesn't cross that hurdle, I still have a chance, so senior sister, please give me your advice in the future."
Shangguan Mingyue could see the stubbornness and unwillingness in her smile, but fortunately there was no despair.
Shangguan Mingyue shook her head and said: "Senior sister is going out for a trip, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you."
"Ah?! Where are you going, senior sister? Can you not go? Can you take me with you?"
"No, I can't do it without leaving. I'm pestered by this guy Wukou every day. I don't want to smell jealous in this Red Demon Pavilion."
"Sister, you~~"
...
The one that attracted the most attention during this period was the Red Plum Garden, because the guy with the double sword at his waist was the most likely to come here. Many people came from other gardens just to witness the elegance of this young man.
.
There are more people, and there are more people fighting, because they don't know when the person they are waiting for will show up, so naturally they just want to pass the time, provoke some people they can afford, and express themselves in case they are attacked by someone big.
Does the power take it seriously? Even if he doesn't, he can still win the favor of the lonely girl here. It would be nice if he can get a good match and solve the accommodation problem.
And we have been waiting for more than half a month. We haven't seen that person yet, and there is no news about him from other parks. Some people really can't afford it, so they left, and some people were kicked out because of some things. There is no way.
If you lose in a fight, you will be stripped of all your belongings, leaving only a fig leaf. This is more uncomfortable than being killed, especially when the brothel girls are pointing at you and making you feel even more ashamed.
As the three most powerful families in Hongmeiyuan, the Jianaxe Gang, Zhuluyuan, and Honglantern House are the ones that everyone pays the most attention to, because that person specifically picks the most powerful opponents to cause trouble.
"No, the Yiqi Building in Hongtaoyuan is not a first-rate force." One person refuted this view.
"Heart Taoyuan was just an accident. I heard that they provoked others first, and they wanted to take it out on them, but in the end, another monk came in the way. This allowed the big forces in Heart Taoyuan to escape the disaster."
"I didn't know that the three families in our garden would be targeted by that person."
"It's almost winter, and there's still no one around. Maybe you've gone back to bed because of the cold weather, right?"
"That's right. I heard that when that man first appeared in Hongli Garden, after the incident was over, there was a very charming woman accompanying him for shopping and eating. Maybe he returned to that gentle country."
"After all, he is famous now, and it's time to enjoy the blessings. Aren't all the people who come to the Eight Gardens of the Red Dust come here for this? As long as you have a big fist, all the money and beauty are yours."
"you do not say."
At this time, the male steward of the flower building staggered over and intervened in their chat: "It's our red light building that you want to target. You must know that our building owner is the most powerful person in this red plum garden. He doesn't choose
Who do we choose?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Several people nodded in agreement. Unexpectedly, this red light building was eager for that person to come and cause trouble.
"Don't believe it, we haven't been afraid of anyone yet. Even if the monk from Red Persimmon Garden comes, we won't be afraid. In the worst case, we will hold the Red Lantern Tower up with both hands." The male steward said without fear. "
I am not afraid to tell you now that I had a drink with our host yesterday and he said, no matter what kind of double swordsman or three swordsman, as long as he comes, our host will dare to challenge him. As long as that person wins, the red light building will be the winner.
It’s his, the women here can play with whomever they want, it’s all his decision.”
"What about your landlord?"
"If that person really wins, the poster said, the extra little dirt bag outside the garden belongs to him."
"You are really brave." Everyone gave a thumbs up to the owner of the red lantern building for not embarrassing their red plum garden.
"That's much better than the Sword and Ax Gang or those wimps from Zhuluyuan. When they hear someone is coming, it's like a cat meets a mouse, no, a mouse meets a cat." The male steward was obviously drunk.
, some of them are unclear.
"Ah, yes, yes, the layout of Red Lantern Building is great. How can the Jianaxu Building and Zhuluyuan's short-sighted people be compared? I respect the owner of Red Lantern Building."
"Honor the host! I'll book this table!"
"This... the host is so powerful." Several guests couldn't pronounce the steward's name, so they immediately changed their words and supported his host. Anyway, someone waived the order, and it didn't cost any money to shout a few words.
