Chapter 127 Dragon Slaying Order

Before I knew it, two quarters of an hour had passed.

In the water pavilion, the handsome man and the heroic queen meditated facing each other, except for the rhythmic breathing, there was no sound at all.

"grumble……"

Niao Niao felt that she was too much, took figure eight steps, circled around the two of them, then lay down again, rolled around on the ground, and finally jumped out of the waterside pavilion, looking down at the koi in the lake.

Ye Jing was sitting upright, seemingly expressionless, but if you look carefully, you can still see a trace of surprise between his brows. Describe it in words, it is probably:

It turns out that you have to meditate, what the hell did I practice before...

This place is really a treasure land, the breath is refreshing, it feels like taking a deep breath buried among the small watermelons...

Uh~ this surging internal energy...

Although a bit intoxicated by it, this is the empress' bedroom after all, and Ye Jingtang was afraid of waiting too long for the empress to come back, so she opened her eyes after practicing for a while.

Dongfang Liren sat upright on the futon in front of him, motionless, with the innate nobility between his brows, coupled with his heroic attire, he really looked like a hidden master.

As Ye Jingtang's breathing changed, Dongfang Liren also calmed down:
"Why don't you practice?"

"This is the emperor's bedroom, it's not appropriate to stay too long."

"You don't need to be so restrained. Your Majesty is diligent and will return to the bedroom in the afternoon. If you want to practice in the future, just say hello to me."

Ye Jingtang was able to learn that the Jade Bone Figure already owed favors to the adults, so he didn't expect to stay here. After a little deliberation, he reached into his sleeve, took out a box, and handed it to Dongfang Liren:

"Your Highness has treated me so generously, and I don't even know how to thank you. When I returned to Beijing yesterday, I came across a nice shop and bought a few pieces. I have no other intentions. I just reciprocate courtesy and ordinary things in the market. I hope His Highness will not dislike you."

Dongfang Liren was a little surprised, took it, and opened the jewelry box unhurriedly, and there was a blue and white jade hairpin lying in the small hairpin box.

The jade hairpin is a unisex style, without any carvings, just a flawless streamlined shape, although simple, it is very in line with her usual clothes.

"You really have a heart... I don't lack jewelry, so don't spend it like this in the future. Since it's a courtesy..."

Dongfang Liren raised his hand to take off the jade pendant around his waist.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang quickly raised his hand to stop it, and said solemnly:
"No, if His Highness really wants to return the gift, just give it an insignificant small object."

Dongfang Liren was taken aback, let go of the jade pendant, and asked:
"what would you like?"

Ye Jingtang blinked and moved closer:
"Your Highness, can you lend me that treasured set of "Tears of a Chivalrous Woman"? I went to the bookstore today, but I can't buy it at all..."

? !
Dongfang Liren took a deep breath, stared at Ye Jingtang, and insisted on not saying a word, only felt that the good image Ye Jingtang established in her heart yesterday, let the girl collapse half by herself in the evening, and today she borrowed the tears of a chivalrous woman again Crash in half.

Seeing Prince Jing getting angry, Ye Jingtang raised his hand slightly:
"It's inconvenient, so I don't force it. I've read it for many years. I consider myself Wu Shengxie's book friend, but I haven't even read the full version. It's just a little regretful..."

Dongfang Liren was silent for a moment, and said angrily:

"It's in the king's compartment, and I'll pick it up later."

Ye Jingtang cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, for letting go, I'll just finish reading..."

"No need to pay it back!"

Ye Jingtang was taken aback: "Then what is Your Highness looking at?"

Dongfang Liren originally wanted to say 'go to the Imperial College to search for another set', but it was wrong after thinking about it, and said with a dignified expression:

"This king never looks at that kind of thing. If he didn't know that you want it, he wouldn't stay in the carriage!"

Ye Jingtang understood in his heart, and cupped his hands again: "Your Highness really understands righteousness."

Dongfang Liren didn't want to mention books at all, so he got up and went to the bookshelf next to the water pavilion, fetched another book, and handed it to Ye Jingtang:
"Your talent in martial arts belongs to God's food, so you should read more books like this. How can you become a master if you read those things that are not on the table all day long?"

Ye Jingtang took the book, but saw the three characters "Slaying Dragon Order" impressively written on it, the handwriting was like a silver hook painted on iron, revealing a sharp edge, probably written by Xuanyuan Chao, the leader of the sword.

Ye Jingtang's expression became serious, and he didn't open it immediately, but looked towards Dongfang Liren:

"His Royal Highness showed me the picture of Minglong, which is already a kindness that is difficult to repay, and then give me the sword technique..."

Dongfang Liren said solemnly: "This king has already learned the Tianhe knife. This is what I promised you. How can I break my promise?"

Ye Jingtang's eyes were full of surprise: "Really?"

The meaning of the eyes is estimated to be - I didn't see it, stupid, you have learned it, the sun is coming out of the west...

Dongfang Liren's eyes were slightly cold, and he clenched his hands, as if he wanted to beat someone up

Ye Jingtang coughed lightly, and pretended to be serious, he opened the "Long Tu Long Order" and looked at it carefully, but saw that it was written on the first page-On breaking the eight-step mad knife.

Dongfang Liren had the opportunity to show off his knowledge in front of Ye Jingtang, so he naturally would not let it go, and explained like a knowledgeable expert:
"The order to slaughter the dragon is the 'ring-headed Chilong'. The moves of "Baoqi Kuangdao" are fixed, and there is no such thing as changing the actual situation. However, it was able to dominate the sword world for decades in the last years of the previous dynasty. It is because of the eight steps. Crazy Knife achieves "big ingenuity does not work, but speed does not break", it can't be caught when it is seen, and it can't be avoided if it is guessed.

"In those years when Kuang Yazi came to the top of the sword world, countless swordsmen in the world racked their brains to dismantle their moves, and finally came to the consensus that 'no one of the same level can break the move'. Even if the strength is stronger than Kuang Yazi, it is difficult to fight back after being hit. Can use detours to pull and avoid the edge to deal with it.

"It was only when Xuanyuan Chao was born in the sky that he broke this situation. He switched to using a broad-backed heavy saber, and used the method of 'retreating and bowing his back to flick the saber', so that the eight-step crazy saber would die directly in the starting position without giving any damage to the opponent. Given the opportunity to recruit, the eight-step mad knife will be removed from the world."

Dongfang Liren said this, and came to the surrounding weapons platform, and picked up two unsharp practice knives, one was an ordinary straight knife and the other was a broad-backed broadsword.

The broadsword is three and a half feet long, with a handle one foot long.

When Dongfangli came to the center of the water pavilion, he put his knife and pestle on the ground:
"You come to try?"

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang stood up, hung the unsharpened straight knife on his waist, and watched Dongfang Liren's movements.

Dongfang Liren took the shoulder strap and hung it on his body, and then hung the knife. Because the knife was too heavy, the leather shoulder strap hung diagonally on his chest, just pressing in the middle of the fat-headed dragon, forming two semicircles.

Ye Jingtang was only concentrating on the saber technique, but didn't even look at it, and retreated three feet away.

The surrounding area of ​​Shuixiu quieted down.

After Dongfang Liren was ready, Ye Jingtang moved slightly with his left hand:
chap——

The knife light flashed in the water pavilion.

Ye Jingtang held the long saber upside down in his left hand, and slashed towards Dongfang Liren's middle gate.

At the same moment, Dongfang Liren's whole body was shaken, even the fat-headed dragon was shaking violently. He moved his left foot back, bent his back and raised the heavy knife, holding the handle of the knife sticking out of his right shoulder with both hands:
"drink--"

A scold.

Dongfang Liren held a [-]-jin heavy knife, and started with a 'retreat step, bowing his back and flicking the knife'. The test of physical explosiveness was too great, and even his cheeks turned red instantly.

clang--

Ye Jingtang didn't use all his strength, but just slashed horizontally according to the move, and rushed in front of him. Dongfang Liren's extremely explosive knife had already slashed down on the head, hitting the knife just right.

block--

The crisp sound of gold and iron colliding, accompanied by a string of sparks.

Ye Jingtang held the straight knife upside down in his left hand, and collided with the heavy knife, he couldn't withstand the heavy knife slashing with one hand, and the straight knife was smashed on his forearm, but it slipped because of this knife go out.

wow——

Ye Jingtang slid a distance of two feet on the smooth ground, and didn't stabilize his figure until he hit the bookshelf.

But Dongfang Liren fell behind with a knife, and the tip of the knife directly touched the bottom, dragging the knife and running wildly, bowing like a tiger, and instantly came to him.

If the two sides were of the same level, Ye Jingtang's first knife would definitely be thrown out, and Dongfang Liren would have to be dismembered on the spot when he received it.

However, Dongfang Liren didn't have such a strong explosive power. After a few steps, he stopped his figure, put his sword on the ground and breathed heavily:

"Hoo...how...how?"

Although only one knife was used, the consumption was so great that the naked eye could see that Dongfang Liren's cheeks turned flushed red, and his chest heaved violently.

Ye Jingtang glanced at the straight knife in his left hand—it had been deformed by a single knife, and his entire left arm was numb. If it wasn't for the fact that Cun Ben's foundation was too weak, the knife might have ruined his left arm.

"This sword technique is completely created for the eight-step mad knife."

Dongfang Liren gasped for a moment, and put the heavy knife back into the weapon rack:

"In the past, the eight-step mad knife was the most powerful. Xuanyuan Chao wanted to win the top swordsman, so he naturally watched the eight-step mad knife. If you want to be the top swordsman, you have to figure out new things and learn from the old generation's sword skills. , even if you can defeat Xuanyuan Dynasty, it is because you are young, not because you are good at swordsmanship."

Ye Jingtang nodded thoughtfully...
-
I have to write the chapter on martial arts, so let's treat it as two transitional chapters...
