From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 440 Two Swords Competition
The Tartars live as nomads. They are not only tall and tall, but also all the people are soldiers. They are very fierce and powerful, and their iron cavalry is famous for their incomparable bravery.

In the bitter cold of Liangzhou, the Mei family army practiced day and night to fight against the Tartars. The Mei family insisted on training a team for the Cheng family to fight against the Tartars, a fearless army of tigers and wolves.Therefore, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Once the iron hooves of the Tartars break through Liangzhou City, they will go straight to the imperial city.Not to mention that no one is invincible, just say that the Gyeonggi Guards and the Yulin Army can't stop their iron hooves.

Unexpectedly, he had such a high opinion of the Mei family army. Mei Xin said proudly: "As expected, the famous man in the imperial court has a sharp vision and a thorough understanding of problems. It's just a pity that you are neither the emperor nor the prince. You can't change the emperor's current thinking, no matter how clearly and thoroughly you see it, it will be in vain."

Turning around and looking at him face to face, Mei Xin changed the subject and said: "But anyway, thank you for telling me this today, it's getting late and I'm going back to sleep, you should go back to rest early too."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and jumped up, Mei Xin jumped off the roof.

After two steps behind him, Zongzheng Mingzhen blurted out: "Hey, I told you, but you haven't told me yet, you won't break your promise and lose weight, right?"

Unexpectedly, she slipped so fast that he didn't catch her in time.

With her feet firmly on the ground, Mei Xin raised her head and smiled and said, "What's wrong with getting fat, did I promise you?"

"Hey..." Ninja couldn't help Zongzheng Mingzhen also smiled, but there was helplessness and indulgence in the smile.

Thinking about it carefully, she really didn't agree just now, and didn't say anything, because he mistakenly thought she agreed.However, would she be too cunning in this way, she is really slippery like a little loach.

Good-looking people are just taking advantage, and there is no reason for people to be more patient.Therefore, Mei Xin saw that his smiling face was so seductive, so she said softly for no reason: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, hurry back and go to bed."

After finishing speaking, she looked away and went in without looking back.

At this time, Yunying came out, staring at him covetously, as if I would beat you up if you dare to come down, Zongzheng Mingzhen shook his head lightly and had to go back first.

Knowing that her brother had returned to the barracks safe and sound, Mei Xin let go of the heart that had been hanging for many days, and had no dreams until five o'clock.Get up on time, wash and have breakfast, and after breakfast, she brought cardamom to the martial arts arena.

People have not yet arrived, but the cousin Mei Ruoying has already arrived. Seeing Mei Xin coming to greet the two, she took out a small cloth bag from her arms and handed it to her, saying, "Niece, this is your meeting gift. I don't have anything wrong with you." You can't buy anything decent with money, I learned wood carving and made a hairpin for you, don't dislike it."

I went back and searched through my room but couldn't find a decent gift. I originally wanted to ask the family for some money to buy it for her first, but she doesn't have any financial resources on weekdays. How can she pay it back if she asks for it? .So, let's do it after thinking about it, I just hope she won't dislike her, let alone think she's stingy.

Mei Xin is not a person who is greedy for vanity and fancying yellow and white things. She reached out to take the cloth bag in her hand and opened it with a slight smile, "Aunt Tang has a heart. I prefer the ones made by Aunt Tang to the ones sold outside. Thank you!"

Gifts are light and affection is heavy, especially in a relationship like theirs, if she was given an expensive gift as soon as it came up, she would not dare to accept it.

While speaking, he looked down at the opened cloth bag, and saw a herringbone-shaped plum blossom hairpin lying on it.

The hairpin is slender, and there are three bright red plum blossoms on each of the two herringbone legs. The carvings are lifelike, as if they have just been plucked from the branches, and they are so vivid.

Very surprised, Mei Xin admired in disbelief, "Auntie's knives are amazing, this plum blossom is just like the real thing, it's so beautiful."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xin put the hairpin in her hand on her head without hesitation, and inserted it into her hair.

"Does it look good?" Mei Xin first asked her and then turned to look at Cardamom.

Maybe it's because I saw too many gold, silver, jewels and cardamoms when I was suppressing the bandits, but I didn't think it was so beautiful.To be honest, it's quite common, and you can buy it for two big bucks at road stalls.But she dare not tell the truth, especially in front of Mei Ruoying.

Seeing whether she really likes it or not, Mei Ruoying nodded solemnly and said, "Looks good, if you like it, I'll carve you two other flower hairpins tomorrow when I have time."

Because the surname is Mei, and because the plum blossoms are the same as the Mei family, she carved them without thinking too much.I didn't expect to take advantage of Mei Xin, and she looked good wearing it.

Mei Xin didn't refuse, she raised her hand to touch the plum blossom hairpin on her head and said, "Okay, but will it bother Tang Auntie too much, and will it delay your practice?"

Pulling her to sit down, Mei Xin smiled, she couldn't help feeling a little strange when she found that not many children from the side branches came.

My favorite thing to do since I was a child is to practice kung fu. Therefore, Mei Ruoying thought about it seriously and said, "Yes, let's make one. I will give it to you during the Chinese New Year. It can be a gift of the year."

I have to give a red seal for New Year's greetings. She doesn't have money to make a hairpin, which is very good.

In an instant, Mei Xin smiled, feeling that she was really cute and straight-hearted, she nodded without hesitation and said: "Okay, then thank you Tang aunt."

"You don't have to be polite, niece. As an aunt, I should give you a gift. But when the competition can start, I can't wait for my knife." Since yesterday, I can't wait, and I didn't fall asleep much during the excited night. Mei Ruoying now Looking at the cardamom, I couldn't help it.

When I saw her yesterday, I felt that she was very similar to myself when I was a child, and now the anxious look is very similar.Knowing that she was eager to prove herself, Mei Xin said flatly: "Since you can't wait, then don't wait any longer, Cardamom, let's start."

With a wave of his hand, everyone spread out to make room for an open space. Cardamom slapped the horse-chopping knife on his waist, and the knife came out of its sheath with a whoosh.

In view of Mei Ruoying's young age, she was not going to draw the sword at first, but the major general said that this was insulting her and disrespecting her, so she wanted to draw the sword.Moreover, compare how you want, don't treat her as a child, let alone an adult, and treat her as a real opponent.

Sure enough, Mei Xin was right in her words, Mei Ruoying was very happy, she felt that she was respected, and she was officially regarded as an opponent.Taking two steps forward, she raised her hand and pulled out the Miao Dao on her back. She solemnly clasped her fists and saluted, "Please enlighten me!"

Cardamom is not a talkative person, and what she has learned is to kill people, similar to an assassin in the Jianghu, so that she nodded and attacked without saying hello.

She was fast and sharp, and she was in front of Mei Ruoying in the blink of an eye.
