Taiqing Sword

Chapter 6, Knight's Walk
After more than ten days, Narcissus' injury improved greatly, but she stayed in Shangguan Jinghong's room and refused to leave.After previous rescues, and Shangguan Jinghong's care for her in recent days, Narcissus has a secret love for Shangguan Jinghong in her heart.

One morning, there was a light knock on the door outside Shangguan Jinghong's room: "Guest officer, are you awake?"

Shangguan Jinghong's bed was ruthlessly occupied by Narcissus. For more than ten days, Shangguan Jinghong meditated and practiced exercises almost every night, rarely resting. When he heard a knock on the door, he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Guest officer, someone sent you a letter, saying that it was sent by a lady surnamed Tang."

Only then did Shangguan Jinghong remember that Tang Wei'er had invited him to some poetry meeting more than ten days ago, and he opened the door to receive the letter: "Okay, thank you brother."

"The villain is taking his leave." After saying that, he bowed and left.

Narcissus had already woken up when the knock on the door came. Hearing their conversation, knowing that the letter must have been sent by Tang Wei'er, she immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.Even so, I couldn't help but ask, "Whose letter?"

When Shangguan Jinghong heard Narcissus asking him, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and replied naturally: "That Miss Tang Wei'er said that she invited me to Guiyunzhuang to participate in the poetry meeting tomorrow."

"Oh." Narcissus confirmed that what she was thinking was correct, and felt even more uncomfortable.After Shangguan Jinghong finished reading the letter, he turned his head and saw Narcissus pouting slightly, with dissatisfaction on his face, he thought for a moment, knowing that he was going to participate in the poetry meeting, Narcissus felt uncomfortable.Shangguan Jinghong, as a young man in the 21st century, of course could see that this girl had developed affection for him, but he had promised Tang Wei'er earlier, and it was hard to refuse now.She pursed her lips: "Miss Narcissus, although the poetry meeting is boring, it should be more lively. You have been bored in the room for more than ten days, why not...how about you come with me?"

As soon as Narcissus heard that Shangguan Jinghong had invited her, her eyes lit up immediately, and her heart disappeared, thinking that it seemed that Shangguan Jinghong could see that she was unhappy, and this was to comfort herself, it seemed that he cared about her, and she immediately smiled: "Okay, okay, I haven't participated in a poetry meeting yet."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Narcissus who changed face rapidly, and shook his head helplessly.Then he remembered something: "When Tang Wei'er came that day, I saw that you were not very enthusiastic about her. Do you know each other?"

"Yes, although Tang Wei'er is not well-known in the Jianghu, the family behind him is unshakable in the Sichuan and Sichuan generations. Even if you look at the entire Jianghu, it should not be underestimated. The old man surnamed Qi who came with her that day is More than ten years ago, Qi Fengping was a well-known Tyrannical Sword in Jianghu." Hearing Shangguan Jinghong's question, Narcissus did not hide anything, and told him everything about herself.

"The Sichuan and Shu generation? The surname is Tang, could it be the Tang sect?" Shangguan Jinghong immediately thought of this sect that makes poison and hidden weapons daunting.

"Well, 'On the side of the water' is the foothold of Shuiyue Palace in Lin'an City, and Guiyun Village is the foothold of Tang Sect in Lin'an City. The difference is that Tang Weier is the grandson of Tang Ao, the old head of the Tang Sect. Generally, the footholds of each sect are garrisoned by core disciples, and they seldom send direct descendants, so there may be some other reason." Narcissus did not hide her identity from Shuiyue Palace, which shows that she has great trust in Shangguan Jinghong.

Although Shangguan Jinghong learned of Narcissus' identity from the black-clothed population that night, he was a little moved when she heard her tell him, "Oh, so that's the case, but with her identity, how could she invite such a person like me?" What kind of poetry meeting did the unknown boy attend? Is it because I won her 100 taels of silver that day?"

Hearing Shangguan Jinghong's words, Narcissus laughed again: "You are not an unknown person, even the Black Wind Five Demons are powerless in your hands. You must know that the Black Wind Five Demons are not top-notch in the world. Experts, but with five people working together, even first-rate experts would feel a headache, and most of the first-rate experts in the Jianghu are people who have been famous for more than ten years, you are so young, you have such achievements, how dare you call yourself a nobody?" Speaking of this, Narcissus paused: "However... I don't know Tang Wei'er very well, but with her character, she definitely won't invite people to come to Yunzhuang casually, but I don't know what her purpose is, so I don't want to act rashly." Add speculation."

After Narcissus finished speaking, she felt a little regretful. If Shangguan Jinghong felt that she was telling tales because of her words, then the loss outweighed the gain.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but no matter what her motives are, I have no grievances with her, so she won't harm me." Shangguan Jinghong didn't care about what Narcissus said at all, but felt that Narcissus was saying that take care of yourself.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Narcissus, there is one more thing, it may be a bit abrupt..." Shangguan Jinghong wanted to ask the person who carved the plaque.

"Don't call me girl, girl, call me by my name, or call me Xian'er, my master will call me that, you can tell me what's going on." Narcissus blamed Shangguan Jinghong slightly in her heart, because you saw all her body, Also called girl girl.

"Okay, Xian'er, who carved the words 'on the side of the water' on the plaque at the door?" Shangguan Jinghong actually prayed after asking, hoping it wasn't Narcissus's sweetheart.

"What did I think it was? Those words were engraved by my master. Five years ago, when my master created the Tianshui Sword Art."

"Oh, it's better if you don't care about it." Shangguan Jinghong murmured in a low voice, but Narcissus's inner strength is not low, and he could hear it clearly, his face immediately turned red, and there was a hint of joy in his heart, but he couldn't express it. I had to pretend not to hear: "What did you say?"

"Ah, I said the handwriting is really good." Shangguan Jinghong laughed, and did not continue this topic.

Just like this, the two of you were chatting with each other, and it was already night, and the two of them even forgot to eat lunch. Talk again, but toss and turn and can't fall asleep.

Early the next morning, Tang Weier loaded up and sent a carriage to pick up Shangguan Jinghong and return to Yunzhuang.

Shangguan Jinghong and Narcissus went downstairs together, the younger brother immediately ran over when he saw Narcissus: "Miss, you are finally back, where have you been these days?"

Narcissus blushed, and scolded, "Do I have to tell you where I'm going? Hurry up and get to work."

The second brother was not annoyed, he was obviously used to it, and ran away again with a smile on his face.

Shangguan Jinghong led Narcissus to the carriage: "Xian'er, get in the carriage."

The driver was very surprised. Didn't Butler Qi say he was alone?But it's not easy to ask too many questions as a servant.After both of them got into the car, they immediately drove back to the village.

After about half an hour, the carriage stopped: "Master, Miss, we are here, please get out of the carriage."

Shangguan Jinghong jumped out of the car first, and was also shocked when he saw this magnificent ancient building.I kept thinking repeatedly in my heart: "Damn, this is too grand, this is the legendary luxury manor."

"Oh, Mr. Shangguan is here to welcome you." Seeing Shangguan Jinghong getting off the car, Mr. Qi immediately walked over to greet him. You must know that this is his master's distinguished guest. Then he saw Narcissus getting off the car, His expression was startled: "The shopkeeper Narcissus is here too, welcome."

Narcissus looked at Elder Qi's expression, curled his lips: "I hope you are really welcome." Mumbling, he followed Shangguan Jinghong into Zhuangzi.

Seeing Shangguan Jinghong coming, Tang Weier rushed to meet her, but when she saw Narcissus behind Shangguan Jinghong, her footsteps froze and she frowned slightly: "Mr. Yue, Tang Weier didn't show it either, and then said to Mr. Qi: "Steward Qi, quickly arrange tables and chairs for Miss Narcissus." Then she said to Narcissus: "Miss Narcissus, there is really no arrangement in advance, so I have to wrong Miss Narcissus , sitting at the bottom."

When Narcissus heard that Tang Wei'er wanted to separate herself from Shangguan Jinghong on purpose, she didn't talk to her, but just snorted softly. After all, it was his territory, but since she came with Shangguan Jinghong, she couldn't return halfway.

When Shangguan Jinghong heard Tang Wei'er's words, he was extremely displeased. Although he had no unreasonable thoughts about Narcissus, he still had a good impression of him. At this moment, Tang Weier was obviously making things difficult on purpose: "Don't bother, Miss Tang, Steward Qi, Narcissus Just sit next to me."

Tang Wei'er was slightly taken aback, knowing that what she had done made Shangguan Jinghong unhappy, and she was also slightly angry. Although she heard Mr. Qi talk about Shangguan Jinghong's excellent martial arts, she had not seen it in person after all, and Shangguan Jinghong was young, so he was very nervous. Thinking, "As this lady, I would condescend to invite you, and dare to be so generous." But after all, the person was invited by himself, so it is not easy to get angry.

But Narcissus is different, seeing Shangguan Jinghong speak for himself like this, his affection for Shangguan Jinghong is even stronger in his heart.

Shangguan Jinghong pulled Narcissus to sit on the first seat on the left, looked at the young masters who came one after another, ignored them, and just chatted with Narcissus.

Tang Wei'er sat on the host seat and stared at the two of them. Even though she was wearing a veil, the anger on her face was clearly visible.She breathed a little sigh of relief, and watched everyone take their seats: "Everyone, this year's poetry meeting has received everyone's support again. The young lady is very grateful. Before we start, let the young lady introduce you to Mr. Shangguan." After a slight pause, she continued: " Mr. Shangguan is very talented, and the "Song of Peach Blossom Temple", which was famous in Lin'an before, was written by Mr. Shangguan."

"Oh, so it's Mr. Shangguan. I've admired him for a long time. In Xia Songming, I don't judge people by appearance, but Mr. Shangguan's clothes are really..." Song Ming stopped before finishing speaking, his expression looked extremely regretful.

Following Song Ming's words, a gorgeously dressed son stood up and said, "Hehe, brother Song, it's not good for you to be like this. I really admire Xu Jingwen when I heard Mr. Shangguan's masterpiece. People believe that "Song of Peach Blossom Temple" was written by Mr. Shangguan. Why don't you compose another poem, so that I can open your eyes to the others?"

Narcissus glared at the two who were talking: "You guys are going too far." Shangguan Jinghong waved his hand at Narcissus, "Xian'er, there's no need to be like this, it's just a group of dogs who look down on people."

"You!" Song Ming and Xu Jingwen glared at Shangguan Jinghong, and the rest of the people were also furious.

"Everyone, everyone, don't get angry, Mr. Shangguan is just making excuses, why bother with him, if he can't do it, don't make it difficult for him." Another person stood up and directly tried the aggressive method on Shangguan Jinghong.

If there was no matter about Narcissus, Tang Wei'er would definitely speak out to help, but at this moment, Tang Wei'er just quietly became a spectator.

"Hehehe, in the eyes of others, you may really be great talents and great poets, but in my opinion, you are just mediocre talents with a vain reputation." Shangguan Jinghong was not angry, and said with a smile: "Since you let us If I write a poem, let's take a gamble, everyone will come up with a topic in turn, I will write a poem, if I write it, you will drink up the jar of wine in front of you, if I can't write it, I will drink a jar of wine."

As soon as these words came out, everyone scolded Shangguan Jinghong for being arrogant, Narcissus tugged on Shangguan Jinghong's sleeve, and whispered: "There are so many of them, you only have one."

"It's okay, it's just a bunch of useless wood." Shangguan Jinghong said loudly on purpose.

"Mr. Shangguan, since this is the case, I want to see how talented Mr. Shangguan is." Song Ming was already furious: "Since we want to drink, I will use 'wine' as the topic, please."

"Hahaha." Shangguan Jinghong laughed and picked up the wine glass and drank it down: "Water tone several times and hold the wine to listen. Woke up in the afternoon and woke up worried. When will I send Chunchun back. Lin Wan mirror. Hurt Liujing. In the later period of the past, there is nothing to remember. The sand and the poultry pond are dark. The clouds break through the moon and the flowers play shadows. The heavy curtains cover the lights, and the wind is uncertain. The people are quiet at first. Tomorrow, the sun will be red and the path will be full." After the lyrics, Shangguan was startled Hong pointed to the five-jin wine jar beside Song Ming: "Mr. Song, please." After speaking, he ignored Song Ming who was stunned: "Next."

Xu Jingwen stepped forward: "I grew up in the south of the Yangtze River since I was a child, and I have never seen snow. Please ask Mr. Shangguan to compose a snow scene, so I can experience it."

"Haha, Mr. Xu wants to bet that I have never seen snow, but it is a coincidence that I really know." Shangguan Jinghong also pointed to the wine jar next to Xu Jingwen: "A thousand mountains are full of birds, and thousands of people are gone. The man in the boat and hat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow." A song "Jiang Xue" blurted out, and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation: "Next."

Everyone came up with a question one by one, and as soon as the question came out, Shangguan Jinghong would directly answer the poem without thinking.

"Hahaha, Xian'er, this poetry meeting is really boring, let's go back." Shangguan said in shock, and was about to leave with Narcissus.

But at this moment Tang Wei'er's face was extremely ugly, this person was really rude, seeing that the master was angry, Mr. Qi was stunned: "Wait a minute, Mr. Shangguan, my lady, kindly invites you, Your Excellency is so rude, shouldn't you be worthy of me?" ."

Shangguan Jinghong looked at Elder Qi for a long time, and sighed: "I got 100 taels of silver earlier, which allowed me to tide over the difficulties. I am extremely grateful, but let me make amends, forgive me, and leave."

"Hmph, Guiyun Village is the one that you just come and leave as soon as you say it." As soon as Qi Lao finished his sentence, several people rushed out from all around, two of them were the brothers Longhu who followed Shangguan Jinghong that night.

"It turns out that the person who also sent someone to follow me is from your village, haha, great." At this moment, Shangguan Jinghong was also angry: "After today, I will have nothing to do with you in Guiyun Village. Hmph"

As he said that, he pulled Narcissus out, Brother Longhu saw him being so rude, he kicked his feet on the ground immediately, his body rose into the air, and he slapped Shangguan Jinghong, Shangguan Jinghong didn't turn his head back, and let the palm He hit himself hard, but he didn't move.

Qi Fengping looked shocked: "Body protection, you, who the hell are you? It's impossible for you to have such skill at your age."

"Hmph, once again, don't blame me for being rude." Shangguan Jinghong was really angry at this moment, but he still remembered the favor of the hundred taels.

Qi Fengping gritted his teeth: "Okay, the old man is here to learn." As he said, he flew towards Shangguan Jinghong, Shangguan Jinghong pushed the Narcissus away, and suddenly he transformed into thousands of people. Seeing clearly, thousands of figures belonged to one person again, and Qi Fengping vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Tang Wei'er didn't know until now that Shangguan Jinghong's martial arts were so powerful. If she hadn't offended this person before, then she would be able to accomplish her goal, but it's too late to say anything now.

Looking at Qi Fengping who fell to the ground, he snorted coldly, pulled the Narcissus, and walked out, only to see Shangguan Jinghong took a step forward, and the green bricks on the ground suddenly shattered. The hook is frosty and snowy. The silver saddle shines on the white horse, and it rustles like a shooting star. Killing a man in ten steps will not stop him for a thousand miles. When it is done, brush off his clothes and hide his body and name. After drinking in Xinling, take off his sword and cross his knees. Eat Zhuhai, hold a glass of wine to persuade Hou Ying. Three cups of spitting promises, the five mountains are light. After the eyes are hot, the spirit is born. Rescue Zhao and wave the golden hammer, Handan will be shocked first. Qianqiu Two heroes, Xuanhe Daliang City. Longitudinal He's a hero, he's not ashamed to be a hero in the world. Who can write Your Excellency, the Baishou Taixuan Sutra. Hahahahaha."
