At the beginning, I picked up a big guy to be a master

Chapter 139 Sword Reforging

Gu Jian was very excited when he learned of Zhou Zhiruo's thoughts. It seemed that his previous wild ideas had been affirmed, and there were still people willing to believe him and let him try.

After talking with Zhou Zhiruo, he locked himself in the room with a sword in his arms. His father ignored him, and no one bought him wine. His father's temper became more and more irritable. Jian ignored him at all, so he went to look for Zhou Zhiruo, perhaps because Zhou Zhiruo was an outsider after all, so he hesitated when facing her, and left without saying the last word.

This situation lasted for nearly two days. On the afternoon of the third day when Zhou Zhiruo arrived at Gu's house, Gu Jian excitedly came to knock on Zhou Zhiruo's door. moment.

Zhou Zhiruo quickly suppressed her anger, and then opened the door. Outside the door was Gu Jian's uncontrollably excited smile. He was so excited: "Miss Zhou, take a quick look, how about the drawings I drew?"

For the past two days, he locked himself in the room just to draw drawings.

Zhou Zhiruo took it over and took a look, and found that the male and female swords he drew were somewhat similar to the pair of short swords he had shown him before, but upon closer inspection, there was a big difference.

"how much time is required?"

Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It will take a year at the earliest. I am not as good at making swords as my father, Miss Zhou, I am actually a little afraid of ruining your things." He was afraid that the sword he made would be like the short sword he made before. Like a sword, it looks good but doesn't work.

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes froze, this is indeed a problem.

"Let's repair the Yitian Sword first." Zhou Zhiruo said: "I won't be here for long, I'll give you 20 days, once the 20 days are up, I want to see the complete Yitian Sword."

Xie Xun was trapped in Shaolin Temple by Cheng Kun's design. If she calculated correctly, the Lion Slaying Conference will be almost a month later.

Gu Jian nodded, although hesitant, it is definitely not his style to give up before doing it.

During these days, Zhou Zhiruo learned from the letters from Emei's disciples that Jiang Xiaoyu had become the deputy leader of the Ming Sect. Yin Tianzheng visited Emei many times, and wanted to make amends to her on Zhang Wuji's behalf.

There was nothing urgent, so Zhou Zhiruo ignored it. Apart from checking the sword casting progress every day, she was practicing kung fu, and the routine was monotonous and repetitive.

But there is one person whose life is repetitive and painful, and that person is Xiao Yu'er.

The Mingjiao Rebel Army has started another war with the imperial court. Since he became the deputy leader of the Mingjiao, different people have come to him every day with different questions. They discussed until late at night.

However, the Mingjiao Rebel Army also achieved considerable success under Xiao Yuer's overall planning, and because of Xiao Yuer's presence, Zhu Yuanzhang was suppressed, but there was nothing he could do.

But things took a different trend when Chuzhou ushered in a great victory.

In the Battle of Chuzhou, Han Shantong died in battle, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others jointly elected Han Lin'er as emperor.

Zhang Wuji once clearly stated that after the Mingjiao Rebel Army overthrew the imperial court, they were not allowed to hold any official position. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang elected Han Lin'er as emperor, did he ignore Zhang Wuji's words?

Xiao Yu'er originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was quite a man of power, but after this happened, he felt that he was ambitious.

The five scattered people were all dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, but Yang Xiao said that electing Han Lin'er to be emperor was also in line with the people's will, and it was a helpless move. Since this is the case, there is nothing to do.

Xiao Yu'er felt a little strange, Yang Xiao put Zhang Wuji first in everything, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly wanted to use this to weaken Zhang Wuji's prestige and status in the army, why Yang Xiao tolerated it?
Under Yang Xiao's persuasion, Wu Sanren finally did not pursue the matter any further. At this moment, Zhang Wuji returned to the Marshal's Mansion.

Everyone rushed to respond, but saw Zhao Min coming to the Marshal's Mansion following Zhang Wuji, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and swearing at each other.

Lengqian said: "The witch can't stay."

Budai monk said: "This woman has a vicious mind, we have been fooled before, do we have to do it again?"

Wei Yi smiled and said: "Master Zhou is now closed to the mountain, but you are with this witch, the leader. How do people in the Jianghu talk about this?"

Zhang Wuji hurriedly replied: "At Xinghua Camp that day, Miss Zhao risked her life to save Big Brother Zhu and was sentenced to beheaded by the court. Fortunately, Envoy Fan You helped her to survive."

"It's true, I can testify." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "At that time, Miss Zhao mistook me for the leader of the sect, and she desperately rescued me, causing trouble to her upper body."

Zhang Wuji said again: "Everyone, Miss Zhao, she can't understand Yuanshi's actions, she has completely severed her relationship with Yuanshi and is no longer the princess of the imperial court. Let's stop worrying about past grievances and get along peacefully, okay?"

Zhou Dian rolled his eyes and said, "Even if she is not the princess of the imperial court, she is still the daughter of King Ruyang. Could she really do something to King Ruyang?"

When Zhao Min was told this, she felt ashamed and indignant, and didn't want to stay any longer, but was stopped by Zhang Wuji, who tried his best to defend her, thinking of her everywhere in his words, which made everyone feel that Zhao Min was a disaster.

Xiao Yu'er kept holding her hands and fell behind others without saying a word. Perhaps this Zhao Min really did not help the court as Zhang Wuji said, but taking her back to Haozhou at this time is undoubtedly self-destructive, and those rebels will never accept it. According to Zhao Min, if Zhang Wuji insists on going his own way, then the most likely thing is the separation of two phases.

"If the leader hadn't been protecting you, I would have killed you a long time ago!" Wei Yixiao was furious, and his anger lasted for a long time.

Zhou Dian said: "Master, is she important, or our Mingjiao brothers?"

"Enough!" Yang Xiao, who hadn't spoken for a long time, raised his voice, "The leader is the leader of a sect, and his status is respected, how can you allow you to be disrespectful here? If the leader hadn't sacrificed his life to save him on the Bright Peak that day, Mingjiao would have ended. Today But you complained so much about the leader because of a woman, where is your conscience? Where is your loyalty? If there is a next time, no matter who it is, I, Yang Xiao, will abolish him with my own hands!"

Yang Xiao's words made everyone a little ashamed, and they all shut up and stopped talking.

With Yang Xiao's support, Zhao Min was able to stay in the Marshal's Mansion.

This result made Wu Sanren Wei Yixiao and others feel uncomfortable, Yang Xiao said: "Brothers, what Yang Xiao said just now was a bit serious, we brothers can joke in private, but we must respect the leader."

Everyone was silent, Yang Xiao sighed and left with Fan Yao.

At this time the atmosphere was gloomy, Xiao Yu'er shook his head and turned to leave, he walked slowly, thinking: Wu Sanren and the others respected Zhang Wuji so much at the beginning and obeyed Zhang Wuji, but now even they have feelings for Zhang Wuji One can imagine what Mingjiao and other people in the Rebel Army would think.Yang Xiao should have seen it too, but he knew that he couldn't change Zhang Wuji's decision, and because he was the leftist envoy of Mingjiao, he couldn't add much to Zhang Wuji's thoughts.

Thinking this way, Xiao Yu'er suddenly raised her head and found that she had walked outside Zhang Wuji's room unknowingly.

He didn't want to be nosy at first, but Zhang Wuji was his friend, and he had some feelings for Mingjiao during his tenure as the deputy leader, so he should do his best and obey the destiny.

Xiao Yuer walked into the room, Zhang Wuji was about to go out, his expression changed slightly when he saw Xiao Yuer coming.

Xiao Yu'er raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to find Zhao Min?"

Zhang Wuji was a little embarrassed.

"I……"

"Brother Zhang." Xiao Yu'er leaned against the door, looking at Zhang Wuji with bright eyes, "Are you with Zhao Min?"

"No!" Zhang Wuji's embarrassing expression immediately became serious, and he said solemnly, "I just feel that I owe her something. She is homeless because of me, so I can't leave her alone."

Xiao Yu'er nodded, and continued to ask: "Then my teacher... what are you going to do with the head of Zhou?"

"Zhiruo..." Zhang Wuji suddenly felt melancholy, "I never thought of giving up on the marriage, but now that my adoptive father is trapped, after I rescued my adoptive father, I will go to Emei to ask her for forgiveness, as long as she can Calm down, even if you beat me thousands of times, I will have no complaints!"

What Zhang Wuji said was sincere, but Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard it. With Zhou Zhiruo's temper, it might be difficult to turn back.

Xiao Yu'er said: "I know that you like the head of Zhou in your heart, and I know that you are soft-hearted and can't bear to abandon Miss Zhao, but do you know that you are actually digging your own grave by doing this? Even if Zhao Min is not from the court People, but how can the father-daughter relationship between her and King Ruyang be severed? How can the Mingjiao have no opinion on her? Your insistence on keeping her will have a great impact on your reputation in the Mingjiao and the Rebel Army."

"I know." Zhang Wuji said, "But after all, I owe her. I can't abandon her just because of myself. This is not what a gentleman would do."

Xiao Yu'er was speechless.

Zhang Wuji would rather harm himself and benefit others like this, I really don't know whether to call him stupid or stupid.

But he is not burdened by fame and fortune, and insists on his beliefs, so why not be admired?

Xiao Yu'er knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he patted Zhang Wuji's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. It's hard for Miss Zhao to come here alone with you, so please take care of me." Go." After speaking, Xiao Yu'er turned and left.

Some people are often trapped in a cocoon without knowing it, and Zhang Wuji may be one of them.

On the second day, Zhang Wuji called Xiao Yuer, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao, Wusan and others to discuss rescue Xie Xun.

He said: "Cheng Kun brought his adoptive father to Shaolin, and coaxed the three masters to watch over the day and night. In addition to wanting to put his adoptive father to death, he also wanted to learn about the Dragon Slaying Sword from his adoptive father." whereabouts."

"Cheng Kun is a traitor with a really poisonous heart." Xiao Yu'er couldn't help but say something.

Zhang Wuji said: "I invite you here today because I want to discuss with you the matter of rescuing my adoptive father. I sneaked into Shaolin to rescue people before, but failed. The power of King Kong's magic circle is unimaginable."

Everyone was contemplating, when suddenly someone came to report that Shaolin Temple had widely distributed hero stickers, and there was a Lion Slaughter Ceremony on the Duanyang Festival, and Xie Xun was going to be put to death.

Upon receiving this news, Zhang Wuji was shocked but also felt angry and puzzled: "Master Du'er clearly promised me to protect my adoptive father, why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Xiao Yu'er said: "I'm afraid it was Cheng Kun who fanned the flames on the sidelines, which led to the current situation."

Xie Xun is the hero of the Mingjiao, and the Mingjiao would not want to see him die in humiliation. Yang Xiao asked Zhang Wuji to order the rescue. Without hesitation, Zhang Wuji ordered the troops to divide into two groups. People and others went to Shaolin with him, and informed Yingwang and his son to meet in Shaolin.

Zhang Wuji originally wanted Xiao Yuer to lead the rebel army, but Xiao Yuer said he wanted to go to Shaolin with them. Yang Xiao thought about it and thought it was feasible, so he persuaded Zhang Wuji to let Xiao Yuer go with them.

Now it is almost the end of April, and there are only less than ten days left before Duanyang, Zhang Wuji, Xiao Yuer and others rushed for five or six days, and finally felt the boundary of Songshan Mountain before Duanyang.

They didn't go directly to Shaolin, but found an inn at the foot of Shaolin Temple to live temporarily.

In this group, besides the members of Mingjiao, there is also Zhao Min.

Originally Zhang Wuji didn't want Zhao Min to come with him, but Zhao Min insisted, and said that even if he disagreed, he could find a way to come alone.Instead of that, it would be safer to let her be with him.

Along the way, Xiao Yu'er barely spoke to Zhao Min, and Zhao Min didn't like Xiao Yu'er very much, even because of Zhou Zhiruo's relationship, she was a little more hostile and scrutinized towards Xiao Yu'er.

She always felt that besides the master-student relationship, there was another inexplicable relationship between Xiao Yu'er and Zhou Zhiruo.

Today, Zhang Wuji accompanied Zhao Min and his brothers to eat in the inn lobby, Yang Xiao and Fan Yao naturally wouldn't say anything, Wu Sanren and Wei Yixiao still felt uncomfortable, but it was hard to say anything in front of Zhang Wuji, Xiao Yuer even I have always ignored these, so although the atmosphere during the meal is not lively, it is not too stiff.

In the lobby, the waiter served them wine and food attentively. Occasionally, there were some guests who wanted to enter the restaurant for a meal, and he would come forward to inform them that the inn had been booked and let them go elsewhere.

After seeing off the third customer who came to the store to inquire, Xiao Er welcomed the fourth customer.

Looking at the purple shirt girl standing outside the door, she has a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure, giving people a feeling of coolness and immortality.Xiao Er was stunned for a long time, this woman is too beautiful!

Xiaoer was startled by his ecstasy, hurried to the door, and said earnestly: "Girl, our inn has been booked. If you want to eat or stay in the hotel, you can go to the Guiyun Inn on the East Street. It is the most beautiful hotel in the city." Good inn, you must be comfortable staying here.”

The purple-shirted girl looked into the lobby and remained silent for a long time.

Xiaoer found it strange, and everyone eating in the lobby also felt strange. Some of them looked up at the door, and they were startled.

"Master Zhou?" Zhou Dian spoke out first, and he looked at Zhou Zhiruo with a shocked expression.

Zhou Zhiruo looked calm, her eyes fell on Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min who were sitting next to each other.

"Zhiruo..." Zhang Wuji raised his head suddenly, and seeing Zhou Zhiruo's indifferent gaze, he suddenly felt on pins and needles, at a loss what to do, he quickly moved his body, and distanced himself from Zhao Min.

On the other side of Zhang Wuji is Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yu'er is a casual person, and his movements and expressions are different from others. Others are either shocked or embarrassed, but he seems to have nothing happened, sitting quietly in his position, and when his eyes touch her, he seems He was looking at an ordinary person.

"Zhiruo!" Zhang Wuji got up, bypassed the crowd and ran to Zhou Zhiruo, with anxious expression and guilt in his eyes, "Zhiruo, why are you here?"

Zhou Zhiruo ignored Zhang Wuji, and only said to Xiao Er: "Since this place is taken over by someone, I'll look elsewhere, thank you."

"and many more!"
