Chapter 230: All factions gather together
In the early morning, when Li Nuo got up, his wife was gone, only a faint fragrance remained around her.
Yesterday was an odd day, and he slept with his beloved.
If he was sleeping with An Ning, he definitely wouldn't and couldn't get up so early.
After washing up and having breakfast, his wife did morning exercises in the yard, while Li Nuo sat at the stone table in the yard, reading the internal energy techniques.
An Ning sat next to Li Nuo and was also studying the Legalist classics.
The three members of the family all have their own things to do.
At a certain moment, a figure walked in from outside.
Yiren held three candied haws in her hands. She walked over to Li Nuo and An Ning, handed them two respectively, and said, "I saw someone selling candied haws on the street just now, so I brought some for you too..."
Then she walked to Song Jiaren and handed her the last one.
Li Nuo and An Ning looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
Only one night had passed, but Yiren seemed like a different person. When she saw something delicious outside, she actually thought of them. For a moment, Li Nuo even wondered if she had spit on the candied haws?
This speculation is obviously too malicious.
Based on Li Nuo's understanding of Yiren, she would not do such a thing.
Although he didn't know what happened that night, but as they lived under the same roof, Li Nuo naturally hoped that they could live in harmony. He was very happy to see the change in Yiren.
The more she did this, the more embarrassed Li Nuo felt.
If it weren't for fate, she would be the hostess of this house.
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were Yiren, her mentality would have collapsed long ago.
It was late at night. Li Nuo came out of the study, stretched his body, and was about to go to An Ning's room to rest when he noticed a faint light coming from the yard next door. He thought for a moment and walked over slowly.
A moment later, in Song Yiren's room.
She sat at the table, supporting her chin with one hand, staring at the flame in the glass lamp in a daze.
Her daily routine was completely turned upside down. She couldn't sleep at night and couldn't wake up during the day. She didn't know how to get through this long night when her eyebrows suddenly raised.
The next moment, there was a soft knock on the door.
She walked over, opened the door, looked at Li Nuo standing outside, and asked, "What are you doing so late?"
Li Nuo asked: "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Song Yiren turned and walked into the house, saying, "I can't sleep."
Li Nuo knew that she couldn't sleep. Fenghuang had to go back to Yuyin Pavilion today for something, and the room with the light on could only be hers.
He didn't say much, and simply said, "Let's go to bed."
Song Yiren was slightly stunned and could hardly believe her ears.
Go, go to bed?
Song Jiaren and Li Anning are still at home...
Did he intend to fulfill the engagement he had made?
Sister Fenghuang said that as long as she treated Song Jiaren and Li Anning better, he would care about her more, but this was too fast?
Li Nuo said: "Why are you still standing there? After I give you the massage, I have to go back to sleep."
Song Yiren came back to her senses, then silently walked to the bed, lay down on it, and wrapped herself in the quilt.
Li Nuo washed his hands, dried them, and sat on the edge of the bed.
He placed his hand on her head, found the acupuncture point, and applied gentle pressure.
With the experience from last time and having prepared herself mentally, Song Yiren did not scream out.
With him by her side, she felt particularly safe and completely relaxed.
The amazing thing is that she, who was originally extremely alert, began to feel slightly sleepy after enjoying the massage for a while.
This tiredness was getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn't resist it at all...
A quarter of an hour later.
Looking at the woman who was sleeping with steady breathing, Li Nuo slowly stood up, washed his hands, turned off the lights, closed the door and left.
In fact, both he and his wife felt a little guilty towards Yiren.
It's only right to be nice to her.
After returning to the room, An Ning couldn't wait to greet him and said angrily, "Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time..."
Li Nuo explained: "Yiren has been suffering from severe insomnia these days, so I pressed a few acupuncture points on her head to help her sleep."
Li Anning asked, "Is she asleep?"
Li Nuo nodded and said, "I came here because she fell asleep."
Li An Ning was surprised and asked, "Isn't this something that only an imperial physician can do?"
When she couldn't sleep when she was a child, her mother would ask a female doctor to come and give her a massage. After just a short massage, she would be able to fall into a good and peaceful sleep.
Li Nuo's hand had already reached into her pajamas and he said with a smile, "There are many things your consort knows, you will find out in the future..."
A blush flashed across Li Anning's pretty face, and she whispered in his ear: "Humph, your princess knows a lot..."
There is a song that goes: A lonely white rabbit walks east and looks around.
There is also a poem that says: The beauty plays the flute and the flowers are moved, the gentleman is like jade and the sword is like a rainbow...
…
As time enters mid-August, the martial arts conference hosted by the imperial court is gradually approaching.
The people of Chang'an have only heard of this. The martial arts world is too far away from them. Compared to any martial arts conference, they are more concerned about whether the price of rice and vegetables will rise today.
The court officials didn't care much about this.
The court agreed to hold the martial arts conference for only one purpose, which was to find something for Li Xuanjing's son to do.
It turns out that this idea is correct.
For three whole months, he had no time to cause trouble for the officials.
Although others were indifferent, for the martial arts world, this was a rare major event in decades.
At the martial arts conference held by the imperial court, all the well-known sects in the martial arts world were present. Even super sects like Sanqing Sect and Shushan sent all their masters.
In the past few days, martial arts sects attending the conference have arrived in Chang'an one after another.
In order to better guide and serve these martial arts sects, the Ministry of Rites set up reception points at every city gate.
There is a huge banner with the words "Martial Arts Conference Reception Point" written on it. As long as you walk into the city gate, you can see it, and few sects will ignore it.
More than a dozen figures carrying spears gathered at the east city gate.
They are from the Silver Spear Sect in Yuezhou.
The two leaders of the Silver Spear Sect both have the cultivation level of a Grandmaster. Although they belong to a second-rate sect, like the Tianshan Sect, they are one of the top second-rate sects.
If another master emerges from the sect, the Silver Spear Sect will be able to become a first-rate sect.
The Silver Spear Sect also attached great importance to this martial arts conference. Two grand masters, leading ten talented disciples, came here from afar.
This was the first time they had to deal with the imperial court, and the people from the Silver Spear Sect were a little unsure.
But as soon as they entered the city gate, they saw the reception area set up by the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites were quite polite to them, who were from the martial arts world, which made them completely put their minds at ease.
There was a table at the reception area filled with various fruits for them to enjoy.
There are grapes, bananas, oranges, lychees and so on.
They arrived in Chang'an after a long journey and were feeling thirsty. These fruits just happened to solve their urgent problem.
Chang'an is worthy of being Chang'an. Even the fruits here are much more delicious than those in Yuezhou.
This is the most delicious fruit they have ever eaten in their lives.
The Ministry of Rites has to register each person and issue badges, which takes a longer time.
While waiting, the disciples of the Silver Spear Sect were not idle either. They quickly ate up all the fruits on the table.
The taste of these fruits was so tempting that even the two masters couldn't resist and ate two bananas and a few lychees.
At the beginning, they also put banana peels, orange peels, grape peels, lychee pits and the like on the table.
But because the table was very small, it soon became full of garbage. People in the martial arts world were not particular about small matters, and soon the ground was covered with fruit peels and cores that they had thrown away.
at the same time.
Another city gate.
The Kuang Dao Sect and the Xuan Jian Sect arrived in Chang'an one after another and waited at the west gate for the Ministry of Rites to take them there.
Every disciple of the Mad Blade Sect carries a large sword on his back.
The people of the Xuanjian Sect carry heavy swords.
Such scenes were rare in Chang'an and attracted the attention of many people.
People looked at them from a distance, pointing and talking.
"What do these people do?"
"They either carry knives or swords on their backs. So scary."
"Don't you guys pay attention to the court affairs? A martial arts conference will be held in a few days, and these people must be here to participate in the martial arts conference."
"Hey, tell me, who is better, the sword or the knife?"
"I think swordsmen are the best. Otherwise, why are there so many people learning swordsmen, but so few learning knifes?"
"I think the sword is more powerful. Look at the army, almost all of them use swords. There are only a few who use swords. The sword is definitely more powerful..."
…
As the people discussed, the topic changed from the identities of these people to the fight between swords.
The masters of the two major sects ignored these remarks, but some young disciples could not help themselves.
A disciple of the Crazy Blade Sect curled his lips and said, "Although there are many people learning swordsmanship, when it comes to power, the way of the sword is still better..."
The disciples of Xuanjian Sect were naturally unhappy when they heard this, and they mocked, "Since the Dao of the Sword is more powerful than the Dao of the Knife, why do so many people learn the sword instead of the knife?"
"That's because the way of the sword is more difficult than the way of the knives."
"You're talking nonsense. The art of swordsmanship has a myriad of variations. What else can you, the reckless men who learn swordsmanship, do besides chopping and slashing?"
The people watching around saw them arguing endlessly, and someone shouted, "Talking is useless. Let's have a fight. Whoever wins will be right..."
"We'll fight if we want, but I'm afraid some reckless men won't dare to do so."
"I'm afraid you're your grandson!"
The two young warriors, full of vigor and vitality, neither of them was willing to give in, and strode towards the open space under the city wall not far away.
