Chapter 50 The Front Edge

The seventh formula is to get to the bottom of the matter.

When swordsmen spar, the sword is the source.No matter how powerful a swordsman is, once the sword is out of hand, there is no chance of winning.

Jing Junxi threw a sweeping kick at Bai Zeyu, and Bai Zeyu jumped into the air, dodging his attack.

Taking advantage of the falling situation, Bai Zeyu raised his hand, unceremoniously about to cut at Jing Junxi.Jing Junxi took a deep breath, bent one leg forward, stretched the other leg back, and stood firm.When Bai Zeyu entered the attack range, he quickly straightened his right hand.

The tip of the sword moved forward sharply, aiming at the wrist of the sword-holding hand of Bai Zeyu.Bai Zeyu couldn't dodge in time, so he could only take a few steps back and was forced to stop the attack.

Jing Junxi withdrew his sword and took a few breaths.He has scars all over his body, and since he hasn't been able to eat since yesterday, he is a little powerless now.

Jing Junxi wailed and fell to the ground.

"What's the matter?" Bai Zeyu stroked his beard, "If you continue like this, you won't be able to eat today?"

"It's dusk now, how could I hit you within today!" Jing Junxi said helplessly, "Master, if you're like this, Master can't hit you, right?"

"You underestimate your master." Seeing that he was going to rest for a while, Bai Zeyu lowered his hands and walked towards him, "If your master says, he will definitely cut down this bamboo forest first, so that I can't hide .”

The second type is to lure the enemy deep.

Jing Junxi raised his hand, and the bamboo sword reached his left hand.Before he got up, he swung his sword at Bai Zeyu without hesitation, and Bai Zeyu subconsciously blocked the front with his sword.However, when the bamboo sword was approaching in front of Bai Zeyu, it changed abruptly, and it circled behind Bai Zeyu, it seemed that the sword body was twisted.

The bamboo sword went around behind Bai Zeyu, and patted his waist lightly.

"It doesn't count!" Bai Zeyu said angrily, "With this kind of trick, I won't admit that you won."

"Master, soldiers never tire of cheating." Jing Junxi stretched his legs and stood up from the ground, "I've accepted it, I've accepted it."

Bai Zeyu sighed: "Just now, how did you change lanes?"

"Actually, this pose is similar to that of a roc spreading its wings." Jing Junxi said, "Because I protruded to attack, your attention was all on the sword, and you didn't notice that I moved a few steps on the ground with my legs."

"So that's how it is." Bai Zeyu threw the bamboo sword to the ground, "I would like to accept the bet. Tomorrow, I will start teaching you the soft sword."

"Okay!" Jing Junxi stretched his waist under the afterglow of the setting sun, "I have something to eat tonight."

Yao Zanglan extinguished the incense burner, opened the window, and let the fragrance in the room disperse.

Moisture drifted into the house through the windows.

Yao Zanglan moved the chair away, stood by the bed and stared at Jing Shuo's sleeping face.At some point, he should wake up.

Net trouble.Yao Zanglan tried to imagine Jing Lingshuo crying, getting angry, or going crazy when he woke up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncertain.

"Master Yao, I brought the food." Jing Junxi leaned over the door and whispered.

"Okay." Yao Fanglan pushed open the door and put the food on the table.

"Why are you injured again?"

Jing Junxi blushed embarrassingly: "The master asked me to hit him once before he started to teach me the soft sword. But I couldn't beat the master at all, so I was treated like this by him. But, today I- —”

"Yao Yao?" Jing Shuo's voice suddenly sounded.

"Ah, Master, are you awake? You—" Hearing his voice, Jing Junxi became emotional, and poked his head to see the scene in the house.

"Hush." ​​Yao Fanglan closed the door at once, and tied it from the inside.

Jing Junxi: "..."

"Yao Yao?" Jing Lishuo opened his eyes, but he didn't see Yao Zanglan, only the empty chair.He had just woken up from a nightmare, and he inevitably had bad associations, and suddenly panicked.

"I'm here." Yao Fanglan walked to the bed.

Jing Shuo breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't scare me. By the way, was that Jun Xi's voice just now?"

"Yeah." Yao Fanglan sat beside him and reached out to feel for his pulse.

It was really fast.Yao Fanglan touched the temperature of his forehead again: "Are you okay?"

Jing Lishuo slept for too long, and his mind was still a little groggy, but he still understood Yao Zanglan's meaning: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to control myself and go crazy?"

Yao Fanglan didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.

Jing Lingshuo gave a pale smile: "I don't even know how to say you are well."

"Okay, am I wrong?" Yao Fanglan picked up the rice bowl, "To express my sincere apology, my lord, let me feed you now."

Jing Lingshuo waved his hand, and fell back on the bed: "I don't have any appetite right now."

"But you haven't eaten for two days." Yao Fanglan tried to persuade, "I know you are suffering, but if you don't eat, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on."

"Ah."

Hearing the heavy nasal sound, Yao Zanglan froze his hand and looked at Jing Lishuo.

"Don't look at me!" Jing Lingshuo roared, stretching out his arms to cover his eyes.He didn't cry after all, but his lower lip was still trembling.

Yao Fanglan's heart clenched fiercely, as if thousands of knives had been cut across.He put the bowl back where it was, and stood there, not knowing what to do.

Comforting people... He can't do it at all!

He thought about it for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence: "Little prince, you can cry if you want, it's so uncomfortable to hold it in."

"I didn't want to cry," Jing Shuo's voice trembled, "I just couldn't control my emotions."

"Okay, okay." Yao Fanglan coaxed, "Speak out, don't hold back."

"I'm just too happy." Jing Shuo said, "I really met my parents. They left me before I was born, and I talked to them. At least we still live together Six years."

"You are really kind and strong." Yao Fanglan laughed at herself, "Why have I never thought about it that way?"

Yao Zanglan turned her face away, looked out of the window, and left Jing Shuo alone for a while.

In the past 18 years, in order not to let the fire of hatred go out, as long as he thinks of his family, he only thinks of his grandfather being nailed to the wall, his father closing the car curtain anxiously, and the despair of his mother when he gave the commandment.

How can I forget?What was it like to live with my parents and my family for eight years?

Thinking of this, Yao Fanglan's eye sockets also became hot.

"I'm fine." Hearing Jing Shuo's voice finally calmed down, Yao Fanglan turned around.

His eye sockets were a little red, just like when he was bullied by Yao Zanglan 18 years ago.Yao Fanglan couldn't help laughing, and held the rice bowl in her hand.

Jing Yanshuo said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Yao Fanglan put a mouthful of rice into Jing Shuo's mouth, "Is it cold?"

Jing Yanshuo shook his head: "It's neither hot nor cold, it's just right. How long have you been guarding me?"

"As long as you sleep, I will stay there." Yao Zanglan seemed to like feeding Jing Lisuo, happily picked up a piece of meat, and sent it to Jing Lisuo's mouth.

Jing Lingshuo moved his mouth, and Yao Zanglan immediately interrupted him: "You want to ask how long you slept, right? Two days and two nights."

"You haven't eaten or slept?"

"Right." Yao Zanglan poked Jing Lishuo's forehead, "Just tell me how you want to repay me?"

"I've given you everything, what else do you want?" Jing Shuo obediently ate the vegetables he handed over.

"What—" Yao Zanglan became angry, "Master General, have you messed up?"

"Yao Yao." Jing Lingshuo suddenly said seriously.

He changed so fast that Yao Fanglan didn't realize it for a while: "Huh?"

"You did something too much to me back then." Jing Yushuo blinked, "Knock me over to the ground? Ride on my back? Scratch the soles of my feet with dogtail grass?"

Scared, how can I remember so clearly?Yao Fanglan shook her hands and almost fell on the bed: "No, no, I was young and inactive at that time. My lord, you have a lot, so don't worry about what happened 18 years ago."

"You still say I'm a woman?"

"Bah," Yao Zanglan slapped himself with a free hand, "It makes you blind to Mount Tai, open your eyes and talk nonsense!"

"I couldn't beat you back then." Jing Lingshuo's eyes softened, and he raised his hand to look, "But now you can't beat me."

Yao Fanglan acted like a dog: "No, if you hadn't let me in at that time, I wouldn't have won."

Jing Lishuo chuckled, and it seemed as if a ten-mile spring breeze blew through the house.

"You don't mind?" Yao Fanglan handed out another mouthful of rice.

"Why do you really mind?" Jing Shuo said, "I just realized that our fate started so early. Unfortunately, I don't remember the following years."

It turns out that falling in love with you is not accidental, and this journey is the continuation of the previous relationship.

"Yao Yao, did you tell me about the existence of the Holy Pill because you promised me at that time?"

"Half." Yao Fanglan said.

"Hmm." Jing Yanshuo narrowed his eyes, and didn't ask what the other half of the reason was.There are some things that they both know each other well and don't need to say it again.

"Then," Jing Yanshuo looked like he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, "Have you followed me since then?"

Yao Fanglan thought to himself, if he told the truth, this guy might be in a good mood for a while, right?

After hesitating for a while, Yao Fanglan still said truthfully: "Do you think, how many people are there in Naiyun, and I have mastered all their backgrounds and whereabouts?"

"You know my whereabouts?" Jing Lingshuo asked back.

Yao Fanglan stuffed the meat into his mouth: "Are you afraid? This is the strength of Prince Li's Mansion."

Jing Lishuo was not angry, but instead grinned: "Yao Yao, did you fall in love with me at first sight?"

The question is just a joke.I thought that I would definitely get a negative answer immediately, but Yao Fanglan thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "Maybe, you are right."

"However, those issues are irrelevant, aren't they?" Yao Fanglan put the empty bowl back on the table, "We are together now."

Jing Lingshuo looked into his eyes, and there was a reflection of himself in the eyes, like a sea of ​​stars.

"You won." Jing Shuo said.

Perhaps the luckiest thing in this world is nothing more than this.
