Chapter 14 Cooperation
Song Heqing held the sword and waved it in the court. The sword energy he had developed rolled up the fallen leaves.

He looked at Jiang Yu from the corner of his eye and spared no effort to show Jiang Yu what he had learned during this period.

Jiang Yu leaned against the door, thinking in a daze that it would be good to have a well-behaved apprentice like this.

It was getting later and later, and Jiang Yu could only see the afterimage in the courtyard.

"He Qing, it's getting late, go and have a rest." Jiang Yu couldn't help but remind him as he watched the last ray of light disappear from the horizon.

The dark shadow in the courtyard first made a move, and then ran towards Jiang Yu.

"Master, how did I learn?" Song Heqing ran up to Jiang Yu excitedly, with a small and delicate face, eyes like cat pupils, round and black, with the ends of the eyes turned up, looking bright and bright.

"That's right, there's no need to rush to practice well. You're still young." Jiang Yu picked up the white handkerchief in his sleeve and wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said softly.

"Well, thank you Master for the tip."

Song Heqing lowered his head and fiddled with the tassel on the hilt of his sword. The corners of his mouth turned up and he couldn't suppress them no matter what.

He touched his scabbard with interest. The intricate patterns were uneven, "Master, does this sword have a name?"

Jiang Yu was stunned and said, "No, I gave it to you and it's yours. You can give it a name you like. When you grow up and don't want it anymore, you can find another one yourself."

Song Heqing raised his head, looked at Jiang Yu's absent-minded look, and suppressed the sourness in his heart, "Master, please help me name this sword."

Perhaps he was afraid that Jiang Yu would refuse, so as soon as he finished speaking, Song Heqing said again: "I want you to get one for me."

Jiang Yu reached out and rubbed the child's soft hair. She chose the name of her sword casually. She must have taken some care with her little apprentice's sword.

"He Qing, let me ask you, why do you want to practice and why do you want to learn swordsmanship?"

Song Heqing clenched the sword in his hand and whispered: "Master, I have said before that I learn swordsmanship to protect the people I want to protect. That's all. Master, will you think that the apprentice is worthless?"

"Of course not. Why don't we call this sword a gentleman?" Jiang Yu thought for a while and said.

"Gentleman?"

"A gentleman does not build dangerous walls. Not everyone wants to live for the world and the common people." Jiang Yu rubbed his tired brows and patted Song Heqing on the shoulder, "If you don't like it, let's talk about it later."

Song Heqing raised his head eagerly and said, "I like it, Master. I like it very much."

Gentleman's Sword sounds great, I like it very much.

After taking the name, Jiang Yu went back to rest.

"Master!"

Jiang Yu stopped at the courtyard gate, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, you have a good rest." The joy in the eyes of the child holding the sword faded away, with indescribable worry.

"Ah."

When Jiang Yu turned around, the young apprentice met her gaze with a face full of joy.

Suddenly Jiang Yu felt guilty. In fact, being named a gentleman was more than just "a gentleman does not build dangerous walls."

A gentleman is magnanimous, and she was secretly reminding Song Heqing to be an aboveboard person.

I don’t ask him to have the world in mind, I just ask him to be upright and not harbor evil intentions like Jiang Feiwei.

A gentleman is cautious in his independence, does not deceive the dark room, humbles himself, and does not deceive his heart.

Late at night, the moon and stars shine.

In the dark green curtain, the sound of heavy breathing was sometimes gentle, sometimes rapid.

Under the brocade quilt, there was a beautiful woman with her eyes closed tightly, a few strands of wet hair hanging messily on her cheeks.

The backs of the hands that were clutching the quilt were bruised...

Jiang Yu looked at this bamboo forest. This was not the bamboo forest outside Yandu City.

This seems to be the bamboo forest of Jidu Sword Formation thousands of years ago.

Jiang Yu once picked up his first apprentice here and lived a peaceful life.

But then, she almost died here.

Before she could clearly see her surroundings, her mind suddenly went blank.

There are only strange sounds coming from far and near.

"What's your name?" Jiang Yu was sure it was her voice.

"I don't have a name."

"Then you take my last name, how about I give you a name?"

"What's your last name?" came the boy's hoarse voice.

"My last name is Jiang, from ginger."

……

"Jiang Yu! Jiang Yu!"

"Jiang Feiwei? What did you call me? Big or small? You should call me master." Jiang Yu pretended to be angry and blamed.

"Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu...I don't care, I won't call you master."

"If you don't call me master, don't follow me, don't try to learn my skills."

"Jiang Yu, go to hell!"

"Jiang Yu is back?" Zhong Liqing put down the memorial in his hand and spread it on the table.

"Back to you, Jiang Yu has arrived at Siming Mansion." Ranye half-knelt on the ground with a knife in hand and whispered.

"Okay, it seems that we can catch up with the wedding between me and Bo Cang. You tell people to make arrangements and make sure that Jiang Yu never comes back."

"My subordinates take orders." Ran Ye left in a hurry, closed the door and only Zhongli Qing was left in the palace.

Zhong Liqing looked at the flickering candlelight on the desk and picked up the lampshade to block the night wind.

"Come in when you're here." Zhong Liqing looked at the silhouette outside the window and whispered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally normal window lattice suddenly began to change, distorting a black space, and someone walked in directly outside the window.

"Your Majesty, you must have received the news about Jiang Yu's return, right?" Ning Wu came over.

The black hole behind her quickly disappeared after she walked out, and everything returned to normal.

Zhong Liqing did not answer Ning Wu's question, but asked her: "How much do you know about Jiang Yu? Is your master not sure about killing Jiang Yu?"

Zhong Liqing thought that it would be almost impossible for Jiang Yu to attend this wedding without the help of the Qingcheng Nan faction.

The Northern sect has no contact with the secular world, and all its disciples hide in the mountains.

However, the southern faction's attitude is very ambiguous. They say it is cooperation, but there is a lack of trust between the two parties.

How much of their strength had been retained, and the spies sent by Zhong Liqing could not find out the true details.

"Actually, I have always been curious about one thing. Si Ming of all dynasties have dedicated themselves to assisting the country. It is said that having Si Ming is more conducive to the stability of Tianlin. Why did the female monarch insist on killing Jiang Yu?" Ning Wu asked this question. I've been confused for a long time.

She had asked her master this question before, but Ning Nan also shook her head. She couldn't explain clearly. There must be some restraint between the royal family and Siming.

Now the Zhongli royal family wants to break this restriction, but they don't have the ability to do so, so they can only resort to external forces.

"I think it would be good for both of us if the lady is willing to tell us something unknown that is beneficial to us besides Jiang Yu." Ning Wu.He looked at Zhong Liqing with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

Zhong Liqing stood up and grasped the dragon head carvings on both sides of the seat tightly with his hands under his long sleeves.

"Are you here to cooperate, or are you here to inquire about information?" Zhong Liqing stared at Ning Wu closely, with sinister eyes.

Ning Wu was not affected at all. She slowly approached Zhong Liqing and said, "Female gentleman, don't be upset. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."
