Chapter 328: Really Like a Fairy
It was a day off, and Song Yunchu walked out of his courtyard after breakfast, and saw the flashing of swords in the courtyard not far ahead.
Zhong Nanyue was practicing sword skills with Honglian. Honglian was naturally no match for her, but in this huge Ning Wang Mansion, Zhong Nanyue could not find a sparring partner of equal strength.
She had no chance of winning against Song Yunchu, and the others were also far inferior to her.
This made Zhong Nanyue feel a little melancholy.
At this stage, the only opponents she could think of who had similar kung fu skills to hers seemed to be Shen Yue and Qin Shen.
Chen Yue was a busy man with a rigid temper. No one could call him except the emperor. As for Qin Shen... She was not familiar with that person, she could only consider him an acquaintance. She didn't know if that person was willing to compete with her and let her experience the taste of a few more strong duels.
The experience of winning the competition in a dangerous situation was so exciting. I am afraid it will be difficult to experience it again in the future.
"Okay, let's stop here for today. Thank you for your hard work, Honglian."
As soon as Zhong Nanyue said this, Honglian immediately turned around and ran away.
What she fears most now is being called by Zhong Nanyue to fight. Every time she loses, she has to go to the secret guards to find a sense of accomplishment.
"Tsk, look, Honglian runs faster than a rabbit."
"It's not Honglian's fault. Nanyan is the second strongest person in Prince Ning's Mansion. Except for His Highness, everyone else is scared of being beaten."
"Ah, His Highness is here."
The Hu sisters were chatting and laughing when they saw Song Yunchu approaching and they all stepped forward to greet him.
"Everyone, sit down." Song Yunchu smiled at everyone, then looked at Zhong Nanyue, "Do you want me to play with you?"
"It's so boring to fight with you. You always give in to me." Zhong Nanyan curled her lips and asked Song Yunchu, "Brother Song, have you checked Qin Shen? What's his background?"
"He used to be a retainer of the Huo family, the mother's family of Concubine De. Later, he committed a crime and was expelled from the Huo family. He has no contact with the Huo family anymore. He should still be alone now. As one of the champions of the martial arts test, he has a bright future. There should be many people who want to win him over. Why, do you want him to be your sparring partner?"
"I do have this idea." Zhong Nanyan took over the conversation, "If the forces behind him are not in harmony with us, then I will not have any contact with him. But according to what you just said, his background is clean, so I feel more at ease."
Zhong Nanyue recalled the day of the competition. Both she and Er Niang had lost to Qin Shen. When that man knocked them off the stage, he threw them to Chu Yuni to save their face and to avoid injuries when they landed.
When other people compete, they usually don't care about anything and just kick others off the stage, causing them to fall and injure their faces, or even have broken bones or dislocated joints.
So...that person should not be a bad person, and we can have some contact with him.
"We both work in the palace. Although he is on patrol and I am on training, it is actually quite easy to meet him. Just pick a time when he is not on duty and bring him over. I really miss the battle on the day of the martial arts test. There are not many times in my life when I can fight so happily."
"But Nanyan, although you are both military officers and can spar with each other legitimately, there is a difference between men and women after all."
Hu Si Niang expressed her concerns, "He is different from Brother Chu. Brother Chu and you are both soldiers, and everyone knows that you are His Highness's men, so it is normal for you to interact with each other. Qin Shen's work is different from yours, and you don't have many opportunities to interact with him. If you, a girl, always take the initiative to look for him, gossip will spread."
"That's easy. I can just ask Chu Yuni to drag him to the training ground in the name of a competition. I just need to appear nearby and casually go up to him to exchange a few words. Then I can ask him to compete again. This way, I won't have to worry about other people gossiping about me. After all, it was Chu Yuni who found him, not me."
Zhong Nanyue was talking with great joy, but Hu Siniang's lips twitched slightly.
The idea sounds reasonable, but Brother Chu will probably be the least happy about it, right?
"Nanyan, have you told Xiaochu about this idea?" Song Yunchu asked casually.
"I haven't told him yet. I plan to talk to him this afternoon and ask him to help me make an appointment with Qin Shen tomorrow. He always says that he has a good relationship with people and is good at socializing. As a friend, he should be happy to help me, right? He's the only one I trust in the palace."
Song Yunchu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Then you should explain it to him clearly. If he shows that he is not happy, don't force him."
"Of course I won't force him, but I think he should agree, right? He has no grudge against Qin Shen."
Song Yunchu said no more.
For some things, it is useless for bystanders to interfere too much. The parties involved have to figure it out themselves.
Some things have to be said by Chu Yuni herself, rather than being conveyed by her superior.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly.
Song Yunchu was basking in the sun on the rattan chair, and he took out the sword from the house to practice with great interest.
Such good weather is very suitable for practicing sword.
The sword was unsheathed, and her figure swept out.
When Jun Li Luo stepped into the yard, what he saw was a gorgeous and graceful scene.
Song Yunchu's figure was as fast as the wind. With each turn of her wrist, the long sword made a sound of breaking through the air. The sword in her hand was cold and moist, and the sword light seemed to change in a thousand ways while spinning, bringing up a little silver light with the sword dancer as the center.
This is a set of sword techniques that seems extremely fast but is very graceful. Perhaps it is because the person dancing with the sword is so light and graceful. Just watching it makes people feel that their mood can become happy and relaxed along with the changing sword flowers.
Jun Li Luo looked at the sword lights and shadows dancing between heaven and earth, as if there was only one person left, and it was difficult for him to come back to his senses for a moment.
Until Song Yunchu swung the sword in his hand and chopped at the branch of the pear tree beside him!
In an instant, petals mixed with leaves were flying, and branches and leaves fell to the ground.
Song Yunchu grabbed a handful of petals and threw them towards Jun Liluo.
Countless tiny petals fell on Jun Liluo's shoulders and hair.
Song Yunchu put away his sword and said with a smile, "Your Majesty looks like a fairy with flower petals on his body."
"If we talk about the potential of becoming an immortal, it should be you."
Jun Liluo smiled, not caring that he was covered with flower petals, and walked towards Song Yunchu.
"Do you think my sword skills just now are good-looking?" Song Yunchu said as he reached out and brushed away the flower petals on his body.
"It looks good." Jun Liluo responded, "Neat and simple."
"The name of this set of sword moves is also very nice, called Bodhi Scattering Flowers. Ordinary people can't learn it. I haven't taught it to my disciples. If you want to learn it, I will teach you?" Song Yunchu curved his eyebrows.
Jun Liluo looked at the smile in her eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What are the conditions?"
"Just call me Master."
"Then I won't learn it." Jun Liluo said without hesitation, "You can teach me when you need my help in the future."
"You don't want to learn such a good sword technique? Even if others beg me to teach you, I won't teach you."
"Then keep it for yourself and don't teach me."
As Jun Li Luo spoke, he sat down on the rattan chair beside the tree, picked up the half-drunk tea of Song Yunchu, and ate it with the snack beside it.
Song Yunchu snatched the teacup back from him, "You really don't want to learn?"
Jun Li Luo looked at her and said, "Actually, my swordsmanship is not bad either. I also have some sword moves that you don't know. How about we make an exchange?"
Before, she tricked him into calling her sister, and now she wants him to call her master.
No way.
He didn't want to satisfy her weird calling habits.
"Then I have to see if your swordsmanship is worth exchanging with you."
Song Yunchu snorted coldly and threw the sword in his hand to him.
Jun Li Luo took the sword and immediately stood up and rushed out.
The sword flowers cut through the air, making a crisp sound, accompanied by the afternoon breeze, like a natural and pleasant melody.
A few feet away, Song Yunchu leaned against a tree trunk, watching Jun Liluo's every move with interest.
Well, it’s really good.
The moves are good and the figure is also very good.
Jun Li Luo had just finished performing a set of sword skills and had just stood still when his sword-holding wrist was grasped by a white hand. It turned out to be Song Yunchu who came behind him.
She put her other hand around his waist and started dancing with swords again.
"Let's exchange. I'll teach you the Bodhi Flower Scattering Technique first."
When Jun Liluo heard this, a smile flashed across his eyes.
Then he concentrated all his attention and cooperated with Song Yunchu's steps and movements without saying a word.
"Okay, stop." Song Yunchu whispered, then released his hand on Jun Liluo's waist and watched Jun Liluo make the last sword flower.
After Jun Liluo stood still, he handed the sword back to her and said, "It's my turn to teach you."
Song Yunchu raised the corner of his lips slightly and took the sword.
Jun Liluo took her hand and pulled her in front of him, and taught her to practice the moves he had just performed.
Wherever the sword passed, flowers and leaves slowly fell, and the whole yard was filled with fragrance mixed with the melodious bird calls among the lush trees, which was truly relaxing and happy.
A pair of figures bathed in the warm sunlight, dancing with swords, their clothes fluttering.
…
Zuixianlou.
"Why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal today? And you ordered so many dishes."
Chu Yuni looked at the table full of delicacies, feeling a little confused.
There are usually only two situations when Zhong Nanyue invites people for dinner, either to return a gift or to celebrate. As she herself said, she has learned the importance of "reciprocity" during the days she has been away from Yaowang Valley.
He did treat her to a restaurant meal two days ago, and she came back a day later. Today she brought him to dinner again... What could it be for?
"Isn't it good enough to treat you to a meal? Come on, didn't you say that these meatballs were delicious last time? Eat more!"
As Zhong Nanyue spoke, she added food to Chu Yuni's bowl.
"That's enough." Chu Yuni saw that the bowl had become a small mountain, and hurriedly stopped her, "You... do you need my help?"
"You are getting wiser." Zhong Nanyue said with a smile, "It is indeed more appropriate for you to handle this matter. After all, you are the only acquaintance I have in the martial arts training ground, and I only trust you."
Chu Yuni loves to hear people praise her for her intelligence, especially when these words come from the usually unreasonable Zhong Nanyue. She can't help but feel in a good mood, and she feels quite hungry when looking at the meatballs in front of her.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Please help me invite Qin Shen to the training ground tomorrow. It's not appropriate for me to take the initiative to find him."
Chu Yuni almost spit out the food in her mouth.
“Ahem!”
"Why are you eating so fast? Come and have some tea to calm you down."
"Why would you ask him out for no reason?"
Chu Yuni took the hot tea handed to her by Zhong Nanyan, "Could it be that your old habit has come back again? When you see a handsome man you like, you want to take him as your little follower? I have to remind you that the men outside are not as easy to control as your junior brothers, especially Qin Shen, who is of the same rank as you. How can you deal with him?"
"What are you thinking?" Zhong Nanyue raised her hand and swung his arm. "I'm looking for Qin Shen because I'm too lonely in martial arts! Except for Brother Song, none of the people around me can fight. You used to be okay, but since I practiced the fourth style of Piao Miao Zhen Jue, I feel that you are not so good, so..."
"So you thought of the guy named Qin?"
"No, fighting him is the only way to feel the pleasure of meeting an antagonist. It was a close call for me to win the martial arts test against him. But he doesn't do the same job as us, so I don't have the chance to see him normally. If I go find him, will others gossip about me? It would be great if you could help me make an appointment with him and have him come to the training ground."
Chu Yuni said nothing.
Zhong Nanyan asked him tentatively, "You and Qin Shen have no grudges, right?"
"No."
"That……"
"Do you just want to compete with him?" Chu Yuni looked at Zhong Nanyue, as if she wanted to find out if she had any other purpose.
"Of course. If there's someone I know who can fight, would I bother to go find him?"
Seeing Zhong Nanyan's calm face, Chu Yuni took a sip of hot tea and agreed, "Okay, I'll make an appointment for you tomorrow, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree or not."
"I knew I was right to find you. Come on, eat more."
“…”
The next day at noon.
The people on the training ground finished half a day's training. Seeing that it was time for lunch, Zhong Nanyue ordered them to disperse.
Chu Yuni did not disappoint Zhong Nanyue's expectations and actually brought Qin Shen to the training ground.
He originally thought that Qin Shen and Zhong Nanyue only knew each other during the martial arts test and were not familiar with each other, so they might not agree to compete with each other.
But Qin Shen agreed after just a moment's consideration.
Zhong Nanyue was naturally very happy. She found an open space and started fighting with Qin Shen.
Chu Yuni sat not far away watching the battle, feeling a little emotional.
He is indeed not as good at fighting as that guy named Qin.
After a hundred moves, Qin Shen and Zhong Nanyue were still unable to determine the winner.
"Captain Zhong, let's stop here."
Seeing Qin Shen about to leave, Zhong Nanyan hurriedly stopped him, "The winner hasn't been decided yet, when will we continue?"
"I don't think there will be a chance recently." Qin Shen said, "I have run into a problem. Captain Zhong, please don't come to me again before I solve it. But I have to say that you are the most talented woman in martial arts I have ever seen. If I have time in the future, I will teach you the boxing skills that I used to beat you."
Zhong Nanyan's eyes lit up slightly, and then she said, "What problem do you have? Tell me, maybe I can help you."
"This..." Qin Shen hesitated.
"Just tell me. Even if I can't help you, I won't tell anyone else about you. It's rare for me to meet an opponent. If you don't fight me, who else can I fight with?"
Zhong Nanyue thought that the other party had a clean background and was so good at kung fu. If she helped him, he might be willing to work for the Ning Wang Mansion in the future.
"Then Captain Zhong, you must keep this secret for me. If this really works, I will grant you any request."
"Okay, go ahead."
"To be honest, I have a crush on a palace maid, but I don't know her name, I only know that she is from Xingde Palace."
Zhong Nanyan was a little surprised. "You mean, you want me to help you find this palace maid?"
