Chapter 1333 The King of Shu Enters the Capital
Yesterday, the sword light dragged a long firefly above the sky, splitting the dark clouds in the sky with one sword.
The man in white who had used such a sword move raised his lips in the sharpness of the sword energy, looked at Ximen Xuexian who was lying on the ground with sword wounds all over his body and the sword even broken, and said, "Hey, the little girl in the Valley of Desolation is no longer running a nose when she sees me not?"
And when Bai Yi, holding a glass of wine, faced the old sword master, Yulong Temple Ksitigarbha Longshi, and Lotus Temple Pu Wen Master, the word "He"
With a light sigh, the three of them took a step forward at the same time. In an instant, they all turned into young people, without holding back any strength.
The man in white raised his head and took a sip of wine, not looking at the three men, as if they were already defeated.
Why.
Because she is standing here, she is destined to be the winner.
The grandeur of style.
Even when the martial arts performance lasted until night, no one had recovered from the excitement, and the person they were talking about was all that woman.
Some people even said that he must be someone who came from the Ninth Heaven, otherwise how could no one know his identity? He had never drawn his sword, but he was able to shock the world with just one sword!
How bright!
Everyone, even Liu Su, was overshadowed by the female swordsman who only appeared on stage three times.
For a while, everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about this woman, and many people were full of longing.
After decades of experience in the underworld, I am still not as good as others.
This is what is meant by the fact that this woman has left a mark on people's hearts today.
Even the young girls who had seen the woman with their own eyes, especially the girls who had been swept by her eyes, just thought of those cold yet unruly eyes, secretly patted their chests, trying to suppress their pounding.
People in the martial arts world who have seen the Empress said that this woman is like the Empress traveling around the martial arts world, and only the Empress can surpass her!
Especially her appearance, only the Queen can compare with her.
After all, Cai Yunjian was right there, but compared to the two, Miss Cai was a little less impressive.
It is precisely because of the appearance of this female swordsman that today’s Shuya Building briefing is all about her.
Su Zhaoxin walked down the street, holding today's briefing in his hand, looking at it with disdain. What can I say?
I have seen my elder sister, and no matter how stunning she is, she is not pleasing to the eye.
but
Su Zhaoxin was so excited by the sword yesterday that he asked Su Wan'er when he got home if she could teach him how to use the sword so that he could show off.
Su Wan'er nodded helplessly, but she had to wait until her master woke up to ask him.
Su Zhaoxin nodded seriously, thinking that it was not a big deal, but he had to get himself a sword.
handsome!
It is said that when boys reach a certain age, they will unconsciously start to pay attention to their appearance.
But Su Zhaoxin has a scar on his face. Even though he has lost a lot of fat and now looks handsome, it is still not as good as having a fair face.
But Su Zhaoxin doesn't care about his appearance, he just wants to be handsome!
When I get back to Dunhuang, I will show off my skills to my friends while bragging about my achievements. I will charm them to death!
Therefore, Su Zhaoxin will not go to the martial arts competition today. Even though it is Yan Yunxiao's competition today, there are still Sister Ruyu and Lu Cai among the younger generation, and Da Mengzi among the younger generation.
But Su Zhaoxin was not in a hurry. He had to go to the blacksmith shop to order a handsome sword first.
There is still a constant stream of people heading to the martial arts training ground in the capital.
And there are more and more people from the Western Regions.
However, Su Zhaoxin saw that many people were holding rice dumplings in their hands.
He also knew about this. It was distributed by his elder sister and sister-in-law, and the ones wrapped by his elder sister herself were also among them.
I will send it out today too, and continue until the Dragon Boat Festival.
Fourth brother was personally watching over the event. Even if those from wealthy families wanted to go, they couldn't bring themselves to do so when they saw Su Liheng was there. The really rich people didn't want this, so it was quite surprising that all the people who went were ordinary people.
If Su Zhaoxin doesn't want to join in the fun, what is he doing there?
When Su Zhaoxin passed by a small hotpot restaurant, he heard someone shouting at a table outside: "Blind old man, what are you doing sitting here? I have customers to entertain."
Su Zhaoxin looked over and saw an old man with his eyes closed and a wound on his eye. He was definitely blind.
The old man smiled, said nothing, stood up and was about to leave.
Su Zhaoxin couldn't stand this kind of thing. He couldn't stand it before, but now that he has been in the military camp for a long time and has met many brothers from poor families, he can't stand it even more because he knows about their family affairs.
Walking forward, Su Zhaoxin looked at the waiter and said, "There aren't many customers here, why can't you sit down? If there are customers coming, can't you please give way?"
The waiter was about to speak when he noticed that the material on the boy's body was not cheap. He immediately smiled and said, "Look at what you said. It can be sat on. It can be sat on. If you say it can be sat on, then it can be sat on."
Su Zhaoxin ignored the waiter and went forward to help the old man sit down. "Grandpa, have you eaten?"
The blind old man shook his head: "I came here in a hurry and haven't eaten yet."
Su Zhaoxin looked at the waiter and said, "Put it on the pot. In addition to the eight dishes, add a plate of mutton."
Upon hearing this, the waiter immediately said "OK" and turned to go into the house.
Su Zhaoxin looked at the old man and asked with a smile: "Grandpa, are you used to eating from the pot? If not, let's go to another place."
The old man smiled and nodded: "You are not related to me, and you are helping me like this?"
Su Zhaoxin smiled and said, "I see others are in trouble, and I have the ability to help. Isn't it normal?"
The old man then asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to return?"
Su Zhaoxin poured water for the old man. Afraid that the old man couldn't see, he took the old man's hand and held it in front of the cup: "Why go back? After you finish eating, tell me where your home is and I'll take you there. There are a lot of people in Beijing these days. It's better for you not to go out if you are not in a good condition. If you get hurt, you won't be able to find anyone to complain to."
The old man smiled and said, "It doesn't sound like something a chivalrous young man would say. My friend, you have been through a lot and you are now respecting the people around you."
Su Zhaoxin was stunned and didn't know what to say.
The old man continued, "My friend, you are so generous. I will not be polite to you. When I return, I will definitely repay you."
Su Zhaoxin smiled. He didn't think about giving anything in return. Besides, the old man looked exhausted and was blind. What could he give in return?
Without thinking about these things, Su Zhaoxin asked: "Are you coming to the capital from outside?"
The old man nodded and said, "I came to the capital to visit old friends, but when I got here, I found that they were all busy, so I didn't bother them for the time being. But I was also tired from walking, so I thought about finding a place to drink some water and rest for a while."
Su Zhaoxin watched the waiter bring the pot and said, "Okay, let's eat first. I'll take you there after we're done. Your family is really kind enough to let you go out for a stroll like this. But I see you have nothing. Let's buy something before we go. No matter how good our relationship is, how can we go without something?"
The old man heard this and turned to face the young man. Although he couldn't see him, he could feel the young man's innocent heart and couldn't help but smile: "Young man, you are so kind."
After Su Zhaoxin helped the waiter put away the dishes and pots on the table, he picked up the bowl and started to help the old man prepare the dipping sauce, saying, "What's the good thing? It's just that you have grandchildren, right? If you do, please tell them to lend a hand if they meet an elderly person in trouble outside. It's a simple thing. Even if you can't help with everything, just lend a hand."
This was the first time the old man had heard these words, and he looked at the young man in confusion.
Su Zhaoxin smiled and said, "My eldest sister told me this, but it's not really telling me. It's mainly because I figured it out on my own over time."
However, Su Zhaoxin looked at the old man, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Old man, have you ever been educated? My friend, you are quite literary."
The old man shook his head. "I've studied for a few years, but I'm not considered a scholar. But you, my friend, what you just said, is there more to it?"
Su Zhaoxin handed the dipping saucer to the old man, but when he saw the old man's eyes, he put it in front of himself and put the meat into the pot. "It's not a big story. I just thought that the old man is alone, and his children may be busy outside. I will help them if I can. If I can help the family of the soldiers outside, it will be a profit. After all, he is defending his country, and his family should not suffer."
The old man thought about it carefully and nodded: "This makes perfect sense."
But looking at the boy, he said, "What if I'm a liar?"
Su Zhaoxin said: "If you get cheated, then you get cheated. It's better to cheat me than to cheat others."
The old man laughed. Although he couldn't see, he could clearly feel that the young man was boiling meat for him and feeding him.
And this kind of innocent heart is rare.
"Can you play chess?" the old man asked Su Zhaoxin.
Su Zhaoxin asked back: "Go?"
The old man nodded.
Su Zhaoxin shook his head: "No, my second sister and my younger sister both know how to play chess. My eldest sister seems to be a bad chess player. My grandfather doesn't like to play with her."
At this point, Su Zhaoxin picked up some meat and brought it to the old man's mouth: "Come on, old man, open your mouth. It's a little hot. Blow on it twice before eating."
The second brother has been looking over here, pouting at Su Zhaoxin with a puzzled look on his face. He looks like a rich young man, so why is he so concerned about this old man?
Or maybe he is just an old man with a great status.
Or maybe this young man is just a little stupid.
But it could also be caused by the recent collective outbursts of the young masters?
The old man opened his mouth, ate it with a smile, and then said, "My friend, your treatment of me makes me think you have some ulterior motives towards me."
Hearing this, Su Zhaoxin smiled: "Why, I took advantage of your age, poor health, and the spots on your face? Seeing that your eyesight is not good, you are not happy to be fed. Here, you eat it by yourself?"
The old man laughed and said, "My friend, you..."
But as soon as the old man opened his mouth, he turned his head to the side.
Su Zhaoxin also noticed it and turned his head to look over.
He is a Taoist priest dressed in green.
Don't say
This Taoist priest is so handsome!
Her black hair hung straight down, her eyes had faint white wrinkles at the corners, and her skin was fair.
He wore a lotus crown on his head and a green Taoist robe.
What is the immortal spirit?
That's it.
The young Taoist looked at Su Zhaoxin and said, "My friend, I have Dan Xian, can we go together?"
Su Zhaoxin was stunned. He didn't even know this person, and he came here to eat for free?
But Su Zhaoxin didn't care. After all, it was for the old man to eat, and it looked like he couldn't finish it. Giving it to the Taoist priest would be a good deed, so he nodded and said, "Master Taoist, please."
But when Su Zhaoxin saw the Taoist sitting down and handed him the chopsticks, he sighed, "Master, are you a martial artist? You're the most Taoist I've ever met. I know someone named Chen Xin, who's a disgrace to Taoism! He just ripped me off!"
Dan Xian smiled upon hearing this and said, "I know some martial arts, but they are not profound. However, your praise touches my heart."
Su Zhaoxin grinned, "I've only just started studying seriously these days, so I don't know how to praise others, so don't blame me, Taoist priest."
Dan Xian said, "My friend, your words are direct and hit the heart, which is more pleasant to listen to than the flowery rhetoric of scholars."
Su Zhaoxin scratched his head with a bad look on his face.
Instead, the old man turned to the Taoist and asked, "Why are you like this?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhaoxin was stunned. He knew him. No wonder this Taoist came here. He thought he was here to beg for alms.
Dan Xian laughed and said, "Who said that they don't like seeing old people, so they said they want young people? Otherwise, after finally coming out to play, all they see is old people, which is not comfortable to look at."
The old man curled his lips: "This is not a joke."
But after saying that, he frowned and said, "No wonder you kicked me out. So it was because of this. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Dan Xian smiled helplessly, "He has a bad temper. Pu Wen has another footprint on his head, Long Shi was stabbed by a sword, and Lao Jian Tiao was lucky that he was only slashed by a sword."
The blind old man looked at Dan Xian and said, "Why don't you tell me about the times you were hung up?"
Dan Xian said, "None of you have ever been hung. If I tell you about it, won't it seem like I'm showing off?"
When the blind old man heard this, he turned to Dan Xian, was silent for a moment, and then gave a thumbs up: "I admire your shamelessness!"
Danxian laughed.
Su Zhaoxin, however, listened to the conversation between the two but couldn't understand what they were saying, so he stopped listening and hurriedly prepared the dipping sauce for the Taoist priest. He said, "Master Taoist, try this dipping sauce my elder sister taught me. It's delicious."
Dan Xian smiled and nodded, thanked him and said, "This blind old man is being bullied, so let him be bullied. If you don't help him, nothing will happen."
Su Zhaoxin frowned, "Master, that's not right. You've already used the word 'bullying', so why can't I do anything? And how can I be okay with being bullied? It must be so painful."
Dan Xian looked at Su Zhaoxin with a smile, "The children of the Su family are truly remarkable. I just heard that you are interested in taking this child as your apprentice?"
I said this to Su Zhaoxin before.
The second half of the sentence was said while looking at the old blind man, the old master of Yizixuan and the contemporary chess master.
Dan Xian, the old Heavenly Master, continued, "Are you attracted to the pure heart? The Empress often mentioned this person. She said that when it comes to character, he has a younger brother who is single-minded and always has a pure heart. He doesn't care about other people's opinions and only follows his own heart."
Su Zhaoxin blinked and looked at Danxian. "You know my last name? And you know my big sister?"
The old blind man said, "The eldest is good at killing, the second is good at cunning, and there should be a third who is pure and kind, otherwise everyone in the world will see me as the same as everyone else. Besides, so many people have seen it, but he is the one who came up. Isn't it fate?"
The old Taoist priest laughed and looked at Su Zhaoxin who was confused.
Especially Su Zhaoxin widened his eyes!
Because this old man suddenly became younger!
Not only is his hair white, his eyes are tightly closed, and there is a black and white yin-yang fish-like pattern between his eyebrows.
How come you are so handsome!
With a snap!
The waiter who had been peeking at this side suddenly fell to the ground with his legs going limp. He also saw this scene.
immortal!
immortal!!
"I you." Su Zhaoxin's brain was not enough, so he stared blankly and turned his head to look at Dan Xian, "This..."
A young Taoist priest walked up to Su Zhaoxin, patted him on the head, and said with a smile, "Don't be disrespectful to my master and Qijia."
Su Zhaoxin turned around.
Dust heart!
He can barely be considered my godfather.
but.
Master?
Old Taoist priest?
Chess armor?
I don’t know him, but I’ve heard of him. He’s on the same level as the older sister’s Thirteenth Class.
But regardless of anything else, Su Zhaoxin took a deep breath, knelt down, looked around, and thought about who to kowtow to.
It’s not that Su Zhaoxin’s legs are weak, but he heard that his grandfather always bowed politely when he saw the old Taoist priest, especially since the old man was over a hundred years old!
It’s not too much to kowtow to yourself!
Not to mention that he had just been rude.
The old blind man's appearance and figure softened. "I will accept you as my disciple. Are you willing to become my master?"
Su Zhaoxin was about to speak when he remembered what his elder sister had said to him. He immediately kowtowed to the old blind man and said, "Greetings, Master."
Chen Xin curled his lips. What a loser. Although he is smart and wants to do it this way, he shouldn't be so straightforward.
The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "You are quite clever. It is different from what I told the Empress that you are a little foolish."
The old blind man stretched out his hand and pulled Su Zhaoxin up: "You just fed me and poured me water, and now you are my disciple. But I didn't expect you to be so straightforward."
Su Zhaoxin was actually still a little confused. He didn't expect that when he went out to help an old man, the old man turned out to be such a senior.
And there are only so many masters?
But upon hearing this, he replied honestly, "My eldest sister told me, 'Zhao Xin, if one day you meet an elderly man of great status who wants to take you in as his disciple, don't hesitate and just agree. Before he realizes he's got the wrong person, you should become his disciple immediately.' I listened to my eldest sister very much, so I didn't hesitate."
Chen Xin wanted to say something but stopped herself, but looking at Su Zhaoxin, she felt that her brother-in-law had a far-sighted vision!
The old Taoist priest laughed.
The old blind man was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and said to the old Taoist priest: "I am actually looking forward to meeting the Empress."
The old Taoist priest asked with a smile, "Have the Shu Lords and the others entered the palace?"
The old blind man nodded and said, "Well, I was just about to go in, but I got kicked out. But I'm in this state now, do you think I'll get kicked if I go in?"
