The Book of Heaven

Chapter 102 Horseshoe
Ma Zheng's determination lasted for one night.

It's a pity that one night didn't let him figure out when he acquired this ability, and he didn't know how this ability appeared.

But it's a good thing no matter what, at least Ma Zheng has practiced the "Jade Peeling Sword Technique" thoroughly in his mind.

Although it cannot be used directly for actual combat, it is more than enough for teaching.

"Already practiced?"

Ma Zhao stared at a pair of bull's eyes, unable to believe it.

"Why, you still don't trust me?" Ma Zheng raised his brows and got out of bed, saying that after breakfast, he began to teach Ma Zheng the "Jade Peeling Sword Technique".

The matter of Yimenglou subsided temporarily, and Ma Zheng felt relieved.

However, the world will not be peaceful because of this.

It is not far from Home City to Tianshui City, even for ordinary people, it only takes about twenty days to walk, not to mention those martial arts practitioners who ride horses and come and go.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the northwest frontier has already been covered with snow. Even the official roads have long been covered with snow. In addition, pedestrians are sparsely populated, and some roads are even difficult to distinguish.

On the side of the official road close to Tianshui City, which is a two-day journey, there are several shops, and there are still green smoke coming out at night on this heavy snow day.

Although this place looks remote, it is actually not that dangerous. After all, the imperial frontier army has already pushed the border hundreds of miles away, so there is no need to worry about foreign invasion.

A shop sells refreshments and meals, a shop repairs carts and nails horseshoes, and a shop is a pure inn. For those who travel long distances, only these three shops are the most practical.

It is said that it is difficult to catch business early in the morning in this snowy day. After all, the nearest resting place is fifty miles away. Unless you spend the night in the wilderness, it will only be three poles in the sun. as fast.

But today, the birth came.

A white horse with fur and white clothes, the sound of hoofbeats can be heard far away in the quiet snowy sky.

The slim figure on the horseback immediately attracted the eyes of those who came out to watch.

However, those who have been in the guest business for many years have already cultivated their golden eyes and piercing eyes. Even if the woman who came here is so slim, they will not have too many thoughts in their hearts.

The most is to expect to be able to take care of their business.

Fortunately, the woman in white really reined in at the door of the horseshoe shop, and a beautiful voice came from under her veil:
"Look at the horseshoe."

"okay!"

The blacksmith in a thin padded jacket and a leather skirt ran out cheerfully, and after greeting the distinguished guests, he hurried inside and shouted: "Mother, bring some hot soup to this girl, and take out the mat I made for you last year, girl!" It's so thinly dressed."

The blacksmith really had good intentions, after all, in his eyes, the slim woman was clearly wearing a spring and autumn thin coat, which would freeze to death when the wind blows.

"No need, I'm not cold, let's look at the horseshoe first, I'm in a hurry?"

The woman in the white skirt turned over and landed on the ground. Although she was not afraid of the cold, the ground was covered with icicles mixed with sewage. Even though she was wearing moccasin boots, it was uncomfortable to step on.

The blacksmith raised his head and was about to say something, but saw a blur in front of his eyes, and a white shadow flashed by.

He rubbed his eyes, and when his vision became clear again, he saw the woman in the white dress standing under the eaves, while the yellow-faced woman in his family was holding hot soup with trembling hands.

"Sure enough, he is a master!"

The blacksmith lowered his head, but he couldn't see the woman's footprints on the snow. Although he is not a martial artist and only has a superficial strength, he also knows that this is a very advanced light-weight kung fu, which has reached the level of stepping on the snow without a trace. Degree.

The blacksmith who didn't have much idea hurriedly went to show the horse's shoe honestly. After a long while, he turned around and said, "Girl, the front left half is ruined and needs to be redone."

"Oh? How long will it take?"

"It will take half a day, girl, it's not that I want to make money from you. If the horseshoe is not repaired, it will be a pity to make a better horse."

If a horseshoe is broken, unlike human nails that can grow back in a few days, basically you can only retreat from the front line. In layman's terms, minor injuries are transferred from military use to civilian use. slaughtered.

The blacksmith was by no means alarmist, and the woman in white could only nod her head, saying that the wages were not important, so hurry up.

"Okay, mother-in-law hurry up and blow the fire, let's try to get it done after noon."

Seeing the blacksmith couple getting busy, the woman in the white skirt could only sigh slightly.

She wanted to find that little guy named Ma Zheng as quickly as possible, after all, there were still sixteen swords in that guy's body.

"It's so fast, how could he not have seizures all the time?"

This woman, whom even the third uncle identified as Zhao Xinxi, actually didn't care much about the sixteen sword qi. Although it took a long time of hard work to get back, it was just time.

Ma Zheng took her sixteen blazing sun sword qi, not only did she not die, she was still alive and kicking, and it was said that her skill had improved by leaps and bounds, this was what interested her the most.

That's why she rushed to Home City non-stop after receiving the news, but who knew it was in vain, and then she transferred to Fort Jiazi.

If it wasn't for the fight with others in Fort Jia, she wouldn't have been delayed for such a long time, and she should have entered Tianshui City long ago to find Ma Zheng.

But since she already knew that Ma Zheng was going to participate in the Ma family's annual martial arts competition, she felt that she didn't have to worry too much. The only thing she needed to worry about was that this guy must not die.

"Finally, there is something that interests me, Ma Zheng, you must live well until I find you."

Under the veil, there was a faint smile on that delicate and pretty face.

Although this smile is so elegant that it is almost undetectable, but someone who is familiar with this woman will be extremely surprised, probably because she is 360 five days a year, and it is difficult to show even a smile.

The blacksmith's workmanship was not bad, and he didn't brag. After about two hours, he finished the horseshoe.

Even the humane horse roared to the sky, as if cheering for putting on new shoes.

A piece of silver turned into a stream of light and fell into the callused hands of the blacksmith. When the blacksmith said he wanted to make up for it, he turned his head, but there was no one there.

"Woman, this woman is so clever."

The woman in white disappeared from the official road in a blink of an eye, and the blacksmith dared to say what he was holding back in his heart.

His yellow-faced woman came over, glanced coldly, and said, "Didn't you like his figure?"

"No, I don't dare to take a peek."

The honest-looking blacksmith quickly put a smile on his face, rubbed his calloused hands, and circled around his wife.

"Hmph! It's good to know! The Zhao family is not something we can provoke!"

"Don't provoke anyone, don't provoke anyone, we have already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, those things about fighting and killing are boring!"

"Really boring?"

The mother-in-law still doesn't want to let go of her husband. This kind of jealousy has no distinction between age and age.

"what?"

The blacksmith, who was laughing apologetically, moved his ears, but turned around and looked in the opposite direction of Tianshui City, "Today is really strange, when there should be no one around, why are there so many people today?"
