That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 190

Because of Empress Lin, Da Qi did not respect the ethics of male and female defense, and the status of women was even higher than that of the previous dynasty, and there were even many female officials.Because of this, many young women don't have to be confined in the boudoir, they can also go out to enjoy the scenery together, such as Xiao Zhinan, a high-ranking woman with power in her hands, can travel far away from home.

At this time, there are many daughters from aristocratic families in the Wuliang Hall. After all, there are many outstanding talents in this gathering. For these women, the spring and autumn have nothing to do with them. The most talked about are all kinds of brilliant men, such as It was said that the two young masters who were confronting each other outside the hall at the moment stole the limelight of the entire gathering.

These women from prominent families gathered together and talked softly, commenting on the two young handsome men outside. Some said that the young man with the folding fan was elegant and handsome, with everyone's demeanor, and some said that the young man with the sword was very brave. Is in high spirits.

The girls were divided into two factions and debated endlessly, finally someone asked: "It is said that these two young masters are outstanding, but they are unfamiliar, which family's young masters are they?"

"They all came from the north." A woman who just heard a few words from the elders laughed and said: "The young master holding the folding fan is surnamed Duanmu, and he came from the imperial capital, not to mention our Jiangnan, even in the imperial capital." First-class family background. As for the young master of the sword, it is not simple. He is the young master of Jianzong who caused a lot of trouble in the city some time ago. So many masters in the Daomen Suppressing Demon Palace failed to do anything to him. It can be seen that he is also an extremely powerful character. .”

"How did these two match up?" A woman with a baby face said in surprise, "And it seems that they are incompatible."

Among them, the woman surnamed Xie with the highest family background lowered her voice, and said softly: "What else is this man tearing his face for? It's not for a woman! Listen to my father, this Duanmu son wants to marry His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness wants to marry her." The blue-eyed Mr. Xu, these two have become enemies in order to fight for Her Highness the Princess!"

"That's really jealous when meeting a rival in love." All the women covered their mouths and laughed lightly.

If you want to say that these women from aristocratic families only know how to care for their husbands and teach their children, after they get married, as the matriarch of a family, they have to manage the inside and outside of a huge family, as big as coming and going on New Year's Day, as small as being in charge of servants and servants, and even There are also various expenses and inputs, which are not much lighter than the errands of the Sansi Yamen, and it is absolutely impossible to have a dim sum machine.

Therefore, women from aristocratic families not only have to be able to read and write like men, but are also taught by their elders how to behave. In terms of ability to take responsibility, they may not be inferior to men, but they are missing the dragon gate called imperial examination.

The woman surnamed Xie, perhaps because of her family traditions, is quite keen on current political news, she said softly: "Our Daqi has only conferred four princesses since the beginning of the dynasty, and they are the Princess Chongning who was established after marrying far away. , Princess Runing who died early due to illness, Princess Yongjia who lived in the imperial capital as a widow, and Princess Qiyang, the current daughter of the Holy One. Princess Qiyang is also the only princess waiting to be married. Husband-in-law's age, but now that the situation in the court is changing, this princess probably wants to marry into the family of a powerful official, and she can't help herself."

Speaking of this, it is rare for a group of women to be silent. After all, they are all young women. Which one has never yearned for an unforgettable relationship?It's just that the family education is like this, and the world is like this, so they gave up this thought early on, and just want to marry a husband who knows how to be considerate and can make progress, so it is already a great blessing.

The women in the palace were chatting boudoir secrets, enjoying themselves, but outside the palace, they were facing each other, ready to explode.

In fact, in terms of background and family background, the current Xu Beiyou is far inferior to Duanmuyu, but Xu Beiyou has the advantage of geographical advantage. After all, this is Jiangnan, Zhang Xueyao and others are close at hand, but Duanmu Ruisheng is far away in the imperial capital. To pull Xu Beiyou and Duanmuyu to the same level invisibly, the next step is to see how their respective methods are.

Xu Beiyou stroked the scar on his face that had become very shallow, and said: "Brother Duanmu left me a lesson that day, which I remember deeply, and I still dare not forget it."

Duanmuyu raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Brother Xu means..."

Xu Beiyou took a step forward and said softly, "Today I want to ask brother Duanmu for advice."

Duanmuyu slapped her palm with the folded fan in her hand, and the brocade robed master beside her immediately bowed forward.

Under Li Qinglian's complicated eyes, Xu Beiyou finally held Tianlan's sword hilt at his waist, and made a standard sword-drawing posture.

The next moment, the folding fan in Duanmuyu's hand unfolded again with a puff, revealing the four majestic characters on the fan, "The mighty pass is like iron."

This is what the late emperor praised the Anwei Mansion back then, comparing it to the last pass before the emperor.

Almost at the same time, the brocade robe master turned into a gust of black wind and rushed towards Xu Beiyou.

Xu Beiyou drew his sword, the light of the sword was bright, and the aura of the sword was awe-inspiring. The Tianlan sword, forged in response to the aura of the eight directions, cut the black wind straight from top to bottom.

Unsurprisingly, this brocade master who was born in the Dark Guard Mansion is also a master of the Ghost Immortal Realm, unlike Liu Fu who joined the Dark Guard Mansion after Ye Luzi was born, he is an old man in the Dark Guard Mansion, although he is only in the ghost fairy realm, But he has experienced even more storms and waves than Liu Fu, otherwise he would not be able to become Duanmuyu's bodyguard.

When Xu Beiyou killed Liu Fu, it seemed to be an understatement, but in fact, there was a lot of luck involved. First, Liu Fu's target was Zhang Xueyao, and Xu Beiyou later took advantage of the sneak attack. God's means, this is why he died inexplicably.

It can be said that Liu Fu was capsized in the gutter. In terms of real combat power, Xu Beiyou is still far behind Liu Fu.

Moreover, Xu Beiyou can't continuously use the Jade Immortal Sword Qi in his body in a short period of time. First, there is a risk of losing control, and secondly, in order to prevent the Jade Immortal Sword Qi from being exhausted, Xu Beiyou has to use his own Four Nine Platinum Sword Qi to warm and nourish this spirit. Zhu Xian's sword energy enables him to live endlessly, so the two of them can be said to be evenly matched in this battle.

Unexpectedly, the black wind dissipated but there was no figure of the master in black and brocade robe.

The female crown Zhang An suddenly shouted: "Young master, be careful where you step!"

Almost at the same time as the female crown sounded the warning, the bluestone ground under Xu Beiyou's feet cracked, and an embroidered spring knife pierced Xu Beiyou's crotch.

Xu Beiyou was neither startled nor afraid, as if he had expected it long ago, his whole body followed the sword, dodging the sword narrowly and narrowly.

Sword Seven.

This sword was born out of Taoist Zhuang Zu's Xiaoyaoyou. After reaching the peak, it can resist the debate of the six qi and swim endlessly. It is also the only sword among the 36 swords that can be used to escape.

Xu Beiyou's use at this time, although it is far from being completely natural without any trace, it already has a sense of strolling in the garden.

The black-clothed and brocade-robed expert missed a single blow, and the whole person broke through the ground, abandoning the knife and making a tactic.

There are 24 sharp blades breaking through the ground around Xu Beiyou, pointing obliquely at Xu Beiyou.

Of course, this is not Jianzong's method of controlling the sword, but the five elements escape technique that has been widely spread. He was able to come to Xu Beiyou's feet before using the ground movement technique in the earth escape. The technique of a thousand swords can be described as a series of links.

I saw 24 sharp blades shooting out in unison following the change of the Jinpao man's hand formula.

If the advantage of casual cultivators who grew up alone is that they have rich experience in fighting people, then the advantage of sect disciples is that they hardly take detours.

Facing this so-called thousand-sword technique, Xu Beiyou used the thirteen swords.

Before seeing the sword energy, the sword momentum first appeared, like a river going east and west, endlessly.

"Tips for carving insects!"

Why did Xu Beiyou dare to fight across the border many times?

I saw the sword energy on the Tianlan sword in Xu Beiyou's hand suddenly soared, and the entire sword body of Tianlan was completely surrounded by the four-nine platinum sword energy, as if a winding dragon was entangled.

Xu Beiyou's next sword move was nothing more than a horizontal stroke.

A horizontal stroke is also a sweep.

Today's Xu Beiyou can't sweep the world, but it's easy to sweep away a few sharp knives.

The 24 sharp blades, which are almost the same as the Mie Shen Arrow, shattered inch by inch in the raging sword energy. The sword energy rose again and again, and pointed at Duanmuyu, forcing the master of the dark guard who was proficient in five elements to escape. Do not meet Xu Beiyou's sword energy head-on.

Wherever the sword energy passed, the bluestone paved ground was full of scars and ravines.

The master of the dark guard was instantly overwhelmed by the sword energy.

Li Qinglian looked at the sword and murmured softly: "Whoever attacks the enemy must be saved, so that's how Sword Thirteen is used."
