The rise of Tianzhu of Daqin

Chapter 18 The Yue Girl Sword

Even though he had seen all kinds of beauties, Ying Xuan was a little surprised when he actually saw these two people. Shen Wandie was charming, Song Hongxiao was cold, and each had its own merits. A completely different flavor.

"As expected of Zuimenglou, it's really amazing to have such skill!"

With great beauty in front, Ying Xuan was not stingy, applauded on the spot, and lavishly praised the beauty of the two women.

"There are beauties in the north, who are independent from the world. Once you look at the city of Qingren, you will look at the country of Qingren. It is better not to know the country and the city. It is hard to find a beautiful woman again."

Shen Wandie was a little worried that Ying Xuan was plotting something wrong, but she didn't expect that Ying Xuan would have such a talent for writing. Coupled with Ying Xuan's unrestrained expression, her favor towards Ying Xuan increased a lot in a short while.

Song Hongxiao also took a slightly surprised look at Ying Xuan, she had seen many people who tried to get close to her, most of them said the same thing, nothing new.

But Yingxuan's poem made her eyes shine. She has read many books, including masterpieces of various schools of thought, as well as three hundred poems in the Book of Songs, "Songs of Chu" and "Li Sao". Confucian scholars seem to be half as good as Yingxuan.

"Young master is talented in poetry, but the appearance of a concubine with a thin willow body can't be worthy of the praise of the country and the city."

After all, Song Hongxiao had seen the world, she sat beside Li Si and Ying Xuan with Shen Wandie, and poured a glass of fine wine for them naturally.

"However, this poem of Young Master seems to be different from "Book of Songs" and "Li Sao", but it is easy to read. Is it the rhythm created by Young Master himself?" Song Hongxiao asked curiously.

"I don't know the art of etiquette and music, but I just talk nonsense, hoping to win the smile of the beauty."

Ying Xuan responded casually, then picked up Song Hongxiao's full glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp.

Song Hongxiao didn't continue to ask, but just poured wine for Ying Xuan thoughtfully.

Ying Xuan looked at Song Hongxiao who was elegant and generous, and finally stopped his gaze on her right hand.

Song Hongxiao's skin was fine, and her hands were like fine onions, but Ying Xuan still found something unusual.

Some parts of her palm were unusual and looked a little stiff, Ying Xuan looked at his palm without showing any trace, and already had a conclusion in his heart.

It was the sword-wielding hand, because thick calluses had appeared on the palms of the sword-wielding hands all the year round, perhaps because she was a woman with a love of beauty, so she took better care of it, and it didn't look obvious.

However, because Yingxuan didn't care about this matter, there were thick calluses on his palms and jaws, and even the joints of his fingers were deformed.

Yingxuan is the most outstanding member of the younger generation of the Daqin royal family, and he is a talented young man.But I didn't know how hard Yingxuan had put in to become stronger.

He practiced sword day and night, even if his body was exhausted, he insisted on completing the daily training, and at night he had to read hundreds of books, including the martial arts mental methods of various schools of thought.

Based on the Confucian mental method, he comprehended the sword formula "Qinglian Sword Song" and the mental method "Haoran Tianxia"; I learned the rules of heaven and earth, and learned the art of talismans; I deduced Dize 24 from the classics of the peasant family, and then went a step further, combining the Taoist gossip and nine palaces to create the Twelve Heavens...

Looking at the calluses on Song Hongxiao's hands, Ying Xuan couldn't help but wonder how such a person would appear in a romantic arena like Zuimenglou.

"Ms. Hongxiao is from Yue?" Ying Xuan asked knowingly, intending to ask.

"Yes!" Song Hongxiao didn't know that she had attracted Ying Xuan's attention, so she replied casually.

"That's right!" Ying Xuan looked suddenly enlightened, leaving Li Si and the other three at a loss.

"What's wrong?" Li Si spoke up, this Lord Hou's thinking was a little bit off, even he couldn't keep up, let alone these two girls.

"Just now I saw that Miss Hongxiao's hands are a bit different, and they are a bit similar to mine, so I asked. It's okay, let's drink!" Ying Xuan went so far, half hugging the pipa and half covering his face is the most powerful threat.

Song Hongxiao's complexion changed slightly, but she was relieved to see that Ying Xuan didn't intend to investigate further, and her complexion returned to normal.

Li Si looked at Song Hongxiao thoughtfully. He had noticed all the changes in Song Hongxiao's expression just now.This is a woman with a secret, but if Yingxuan doesn't plan to get to the bottom of it, he will naturally not be troublesome. After all, it is the duty of the Shadow Secret Guard to inquire about such unknown people. If Yingxuan doesn't ask, he must have his consideration .

But Shen Wandie was a little annoyed, how could a man's hand be similar to a woman's hand, this guy was obviously jealous of Song Hongxiao.

Seeing that Song Hongxiao was not alert at all, and thinking that Ying Xuan might be a womanizer, she felt it necessary to remind Song Hongxiao not to be deceived by Ying Xuan.

"Master Ji, why are women's hands the same as men's hands? Why don't you tell me how your hands are similar to Hong Xiao's hands?"

After Shen Wandie finished speaking, she glanced at Ying Xuan proudly, as if to say, continue to make up, and see if I don't expose you.

Song Hongxiao said inwardly, although she was reluctant in her heart, it was obviously not something she could decide at this time.

Ying Xuan put his hands on the table, and Song Hongxiao knew why Ying Xuan found something wrong with just one glance.

The deformed fingers looked distorted, and the thick calluses made it impossible to believe that this was the palm of a young man.

Song Hongxiao could almost conclude in an instant that this bohemian young royal was [-]% a master of swordsmanship. He had seen such a hand before, and it was the hand of the most powerful swordsman in Wuyue Land.

"For people who practice sword all the year round, their fingers will be deformed by the sword. I think Miss Song Hongxiao's hand is also like this."

While talking, Ying Xuan stared closely at Song Hongxiao's eyes, trying to see something unusual.

But Song Hongxiao regained her composure, except for a momentary loss of consciousness at the beginning, and she was not at all worried that Ying Xuan would expose her identity.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong, she is not a rebel who plots against the empire?"

Although Yingxuan had thousands of thoughts in his mind, he didn't stop at all, and said to himself: "All the famous swords in the world come from Wuyue and Wuyue. There are many swordsmen in Wuyue and Wuyue. Back then, King Fuchai of Wu Attacking the Qi State and winning a complete victory, this swordsman has contributed a lot."

"So that's it," Li Si nodded and said, Wu Wang Fucha was a hero who almost became the overlord.

"Wu Yue has many sword cultivators. I don't know if Miss Song Hongxiao is practicing under that senior?"

Now that he had spoken, Li Si naturally did not shy away from Ying Xuan, and planned to find out the truth.

"I was born in the Wu Yue Sword Pool, and I practice the Yue Nu Sword."

Song Hongxiao knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she directly reported her family name and planned to meet honestly.

"Vietnamese Sword?"

Ying Xuan was a little surprised, the origin of the Yue Nu Sword is not that simple.

The king of Wu is one step away from becoming a hegemon, and it is Goujian, the king of Yue, who stops this step.When Yue State was defeated by Fu Chai, King Goujian of Yue committed himself as a slave and endured humiliation for three years before returning to Yue State.

After returning to China, in just a few years, he sent troops to destroy Wu.I heard that in that battle, the soldiers of Yue State fought against a hundred soldiers with one enemy, and they were as powerful as a broken bamboo.

It is rumored that it was a female swordsman of Yue who trained soldiers for King Goujian of Yue, but after the Kingdom of Yue destroyed Wu, that female swordsman also disappeared, because no name was handed down, so the swordsmen of the Seven Kingdoms at that time called them Yue Nu, and they were considered to be Yue Nu. The pinnacle of kendo at that time.

"I'm curious about this. I was born under Yue Nu's family, and her status is respected. How could she be in a romantic place like Zuimenglou? In troubled times, it's not easy for women to survive, but Miss Hongxiao is a woman who doesn't give in to men."

The corners of Ying Xuan's lips turned upward, and he began to question Song Hongxiao. Ying Xuan was never soft on people with impure motives, just like those who broke into Qin Palace to try to assassinate, most of them were thrown into mass graves outside the city.

"I'm here to find Gai Nie!" Song Hongxiao said firmly, "I want to ask him for something."

"Sword Saint Genie?"

Yingxuan changed into a comfortable position, supported his head with his palms, and said, "Mr. Gai used to be my mentor, but now he is a fugitive wanted by the empire. Why, the girl has a relationship with Mr. Gai?"

"No, I heard that Gai Nie is Yingzheng's chief swordsmanship instructor, so I started from Wuyue and sneaked all the way to Xianyang, but there was news of his escape. I didn't know the place in Xianyang well, so I joined Zuimenglou in the end. Because someone in Drunken Dream Tower is my master's friend, so it can be regarded as a place to stay."

"Besides, Zuimenglou is spread all over the Qin country, and the news is well-informed, so I can also inquire about Gai Nie's whereabouts."

"Oh, that's it. Is there any news about Mr. Gai?"

Ying Xuan thought for a while and said, Song Hongxiao didn't look like she was telling a lie, but even if she told a lie, it didn't matter, she sent the Shadow Secret Guards to Yuedi to investigate, and she knew it all.

"no!"

"Really, I have news about Mr. Gai, I can tell you, but you have to do something for me, how about it?"

"What's the matter?" Song Hongxiao asked vigilantly, and now she knew that the person in front of her was not a simple guy, so she had to guard against it.

"At that time, I will also go to Mr. Gai, and I will inform you when the time comes."
