Chapter 47: Is there anyone in the martial arts world who can fly on a sword?

Maomao was holding a small package in her arms and two books, standing behind Su Changan. She looked at Su Changan motionlessly and asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

Hearing this, Su Changan looked at the palace gate steps and laughed at himself, then looked at Maomao: "Let's go."

Maomao was in a good mood because not only did Sun Shanggong give her a small package of very valuable poisonous herbs, but she also gave her two medical books that were not easily seen outside, so she talked a lot: "Are you wondering why you didn't fall down just now?"

Su Changan raised his eyebrows: "Cat, can you think of something good about me? For example, you can ask what happy things you and the empress just talked about."

Maomao thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know what to think."

Very good, this topic has been discussed to death.

However, Su Changan looked around and asked, "I almost forgot about Yan Ruyu. Has she not come back yet?"

The cat nodded: "Yeah."

Su Changan sighed, hoping that she was not beaten by her mother.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it wouldn't hurt to get hit a little more.

A master of the eighth rank, he can take a beating!

Although there was no one to lead the way, the hall where the empress's study was located did not require anyone to lead the way. After all, one could reach Chengtian Gate by walking straight along the wide imperial road.

From a distance, Su Changan saw the people of the Chixia Army.

He is a captain of the Chixia Army named Zhou Qianhong.

These days, whenever he goes out, he must be by Su Changan's side.

According to Yan Ruyu, he is an expert archer who will soon enter the sixth rank.

Su Changan and the others came closer.

Zhou Qianhong immediately clasped her fists and saluted: "Miss Changan, Miss Maomao."

Then he said, "The carriage is ready outside. Commander Yan may not be able to return until later, so he ordered me to escort you back home."

Su Changan nodded indifferently, but thinking of Yan Ruyu, he asked one more question: "Is Commander Yan okay?"

After all, Zhou Qianhong had been in contact with Su Changan for some time, so she was very close to this young lady who, in Su Changan's own words, was "down to earth". She immediately said, "When I came out, I was being trained by the commander-in-chief."

After saying that, he added: "He looks a little embarrassed. I'm afraid he's going to suffer."

Su Changan shook his head and thought to himself, Yan Ruyu, you have come to this day too. When you tortured me, you should have thought about this day.

However, while thinking this, Su Changan asked curiously: "The commander-in-chief is a master of the realm, but Yan Ruyu is an eighth-rank master. The gap is quite small. Why is the gap so big in actual combat? Or is it that Yan Ruyu thinks that the other party is her mother so she doesn't fight back."

If someone else had asked, Zhou Qianhong would have thought that this person was just trying to attract attention, but knowing that Su Changan was not very clear about such things, Zhou Qianhong patiently answered: "Although above the ninth rank is the realm of cessation, it sounds like there is not much difference between the Grand Commander and the Deputy Commander, but in fact there is a world of difference, because it is common to see the Grand Commander training the Deputy Commander, so it can be seen that the Deputy Commander is not unwilling to fight back, but simply unable to fight back. And there is a saying in the martial arts world that one person in the realm of cessation can defeat ten ninth rank masters."

Su Changan nodded. The gap was quite large, but after thinking for a while, he asked, "What is above the limit, immortals?"

Zhou Qianhong was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "My master once said that the end is the end of martial arts. However, there are also differences in the end. For example, Senior Cai Huozhi, who fought against three masters of the end in the Western Regions with his fists, easily defeated all three. And the current owner of the Jianghu sect [Liuyue Manor], Senior Liu Fenggu, who is also known as the Fenggu Tyrant Blade, once killed a person of the end in the Evil Valley at will. Others such as the sword armor, knife armor, and spear armor who have won the first place among the thirteen Jianghu masters are all great figures."

After saying this, Zhou Qianhong's eyes flashed with pride and she said, "Our commander-in-chief once fought with Liu Fenggu, and in the end, Liu Fenggu's 'Moon in the Lake' was directly cut off."

Hearing this, Su Changan sighed for a moment, but suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Are there any masters who can use swords to the limit? The kind who can fly in the sky on swords?"

Maomao shook his head, speechless about what Su Changan had just done.

Zhou Qianhong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Miss Chang'an, flying with a sword is something that exists in novels, and that kind of thing is absolutely impossible. However, there are many people who use swords among the masters of Zhijing, especially six in Jianlu Mountain. But if you want to talk about someone who can have the heroic posture of a sword immortal like 'flying with a sword', there was a swordsman more than ten years ago who challenged the swordsmen and sword-using sects of the forty-six states with one sword. At that time, my master said that person was the martial arts world, and many people favored him. At that time, many scholars who did not mix in the martial arts world hung swords, and there were many poems and lyrics reciting his name. It's a pity that when I ventured into the martial arts world, that person had disappeared without a trace, so I never saw him."

Su Changan sighed, thinking how cool and handsome he must be to be able to make so many people like this.

However, Su Changan felt a little sorry that he couldn't fly with the sword, but after thinking about it, he said, "Swords are more handsome after all."

Zhou Qianhong heard this and said immediately, "Miss Chang'an, remember not to mention this in front of the deputy commander. The reason why the commander-in-chief lectured the deputy commander this time was because Mr. Yuan Ruxi came to give you the calligraphy copybook."

Zhou Qianhong saw that Su Changan didn't understand, so she explained immediately: "Mr. Yuan's calligraphy is his swordsmanship. Although he didn't teach you explicitly, I think that's the intention. If you haven't learned the sword yet, the commander-in-chief naturally wouldn't say much, but you started learning the sword, and Mr. Yuan sent you the calligraphy. This made the commander-in-chief unhappy, and he blamed the deputy commander for not kicking Mr. Yuan out. That's why the commander-in-chief trained the deputy commander today."

Su Changan understood immediately.

No wonder Yan Ruyu kept brainwashing Su Changan that a knife must be stronger and more handsome than a sword.

This thing runs in the family bloodline.

And from what he said, it seems that Commander Yan is even more persistent about swords than Yan Ruyu.

While thinking this, Su Changan did not stop and walked towards the carriage. After two steps, he looked at Zhou Qianhong and asked, "Can a master of the end stop an army alone?"

Zhou Qianhong immediately shook her head: "Of course not. After all, no matter what, he is just one person. However, the swordsman I just told you about once fought against 800 soldiers from another country in the Western Regions."

Su Changan nodded in understanding and had a general understanding of the end.

But after thinking about it carefully, Su Changan also felt that he had to work hard. Even if he couldn't reach the end, he had to acquire the ability to protect himself and the empress.

So Su Changan stopped asking about these things.

Although I just heard a few words about the underworld from Zhou Qianhong, they were quite extraordinary and quite interesting to listen to.

But it is always too far away from me.

Su Changan doesn't like to think about things that are far away from him because it is too tiring.

So I got on the carriage directly, thinking that I would have to walk around and work harder after returning, and not slack off.

…………

Inside the Su Mansion

The old man of the Su family was still sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

On the strange bamboo table beside him were secret documents sent from the palace.

The old man squinted his eyes, looked at the blue sky, and seemed to be in a good mood.

But when Su Zimu and Su Zifeng walked in, the old man didn't say much, but just asked the two to take a look at the contents of the confidential document first.

After the two of them finished reading, the old Master Su said slowly: "According to the situation, launching it at the right time, leaving no trace, this is an open plot. Your Majesty is more capable than I thought. When planning something, the secret plot is inferior and the open plot is superior. The secret plot can be interrupted, prevented, and blocked. But the open plot cannot be interrupted, prevented, or even blocked."

Su Zifeng looked at the contents of the letter carefully again.

Su Zimu frowned: "Father, you mean, this is all arranged by your majesty?"

Old Master Su looked at his eldest son and said, "Didn't you see?"

Su Zimu immediately bowed and said, "I am stupid, I have some guesses, but I am not sure."

Old Master Su smiled slightly and said, "Tell me about it."

Su Zimu thought for a while before speaking, "Your Majesty planned to let Chang'an and the eldest girl enter our Su Mansion. In particular, at the beginning, she only needed to live in the courtyard directly, but His Majesty specifically ordered us to follow the rules of the Su family, so we had to write poems when we entered the courtyard, and then we went to the poetry meeting. All of this was planned by His Majesty."

"The reason is to make the eldest girl famous, but in fact it is to let those people see that the eldest girl's reputation will only become more and more prominent outside, so that those who are not happy with the eldest girl sitting in the back seat will think of ways to make the eldest girl leave or return to the palace."

"After all, we are in the palace, far from the outside world. It is not easy to gain fame again. That is why His Majesty specially arranged those things. But."

When Su Zimu said this, his expression became somewhat conflicted.

Old Master Su smiled and said, "But what? But Your Majesty didn't expect that she just started it, and then our eldest girl did it all by herself? Whether it's in terms of literary talent, or the current reputation of "the young lady who likes to eat rabbit meat" and "the chicken leg fairy" that the people talk about with relish? Or are you wondering what to do if you fail, right?"

Su Zimu nodded: "Just like what the Eighth Prince did on the first day, if the eldest girl didn't have such literary talent, she might have even tarnished her reputation. Now I'm afraid it's a completely different situation. So, I don't understand why Your Majesty would take such a risk if he is like this."

Old Master Su laughed out loud: "I've lived for half of my life, but I still can't figure this out."

Su Zimu felt a little ashamed, but still didn't understand what Old Master Su meant.

Old Master Su smiled and said, "What does our eldest girl look like?"
