for sheath

Chapter 5

The young man in blue didn't want to pay any attention to him, but seeing him walking back, he couldn't help reminding, "Until the end of the Plum Appreciation Tournament, you can only enter through the front door. If you want to go back, you have to go through the back door." .”

Hearing this, Xi Cang turned his feet and went to the west path.

The blue-shirted man said again, "Didn't you come here for Miss Ruomeng? Why are you leaving now? Even if you can't defeat Jiangnan Yijian, you can still see her."

Xi Cang said, "I'll come back when I apply."

The young man in blue shirt sighed, "I forgot to say, this back door can only be exited but not entered. If you go out, you have to wait for the next year if you want to see Miss Ruomeng."

Xi Cang finally stopped, "If you go out, you can't come back?"

The young man in blue shirt shook his head, "No, it's only once a year."

Xi Cang raised his eyebrows, if he didn't go back today, the master would definitely not know how to eat, but if he just left, then the once-a-year opportunity would be gone, and the master also clearly wanted him to come here, so he would I'm afraid it's not right to go back like this.

Seeing his troubled expression, the young man in blue shirt said again, "You don't have to worry, this place is in charge of lunch."

Xi Cang frowned even more when he heard the word lunch, "I'm not worried about that."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"It's nothing."

This young man in blue shirt was surnamed Zhou Mingzhou, he was about the same age as Xi Cang, and when they came and went, the two chatted speculatively, but in fact he was just talking all the time, and Xi Cang was just his listener.

However, Xi Cang did hear a lot of useful news from him, such as how domineering the No. [-] sword in the south of the Yangtze River is, how talented the No. What is the melody of Mr. Xiao? This song should only exist in the sky.

When it was time for lunch, a young servant came to invite people. Although the dishes were rich, Xi Cang didn't have much appetite. He ate two bites indiscriminately, and came to the plum garden to wait for others.At this time, he just wanted to see Hua Ruomeng as soon as possible, so that he could go back to accompany his master.

As time passed, the originally bustling voices in the garden gradually quieted down.

Zhou Zhou, the boy in the blue shirt, suddenly pulled Xi Cang up, and said happily, "The application time is here, and Miss Ruomeng is coming out."

"where?"

Zhou Zhou stretched out his hand and pointed towards the sky, "Look at Shangmei Pavilion, Miss Ruomeng will show up there in a while."

It was an attic built on the south side of the plum garden. It was three stories high, and the top floor was like a pavilion.Xi Cang saw it when he came. At that time, the light gauze and bamboo curtains around the pavilion were still closed, but now they have been put down on the northeast and northeast sides. There are a few more girls in green clothes busy back and forth in the pavilion.

"Come out, Miss Ruomeng is out!"

"It's really Miss Ruomeng!"

"Miss Ruomeng is still so beautiful!"

"What a beauty!"

"Sure enough, it doesn't live up to the reputation of rumors at all, that temperament is indeed extraordinary!"

Xi Cang listened to the gossip around him, and took a closer look, only to see another beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes in the pavilion.It's just that he was standing a little far away, and his face was not very clear from a distance, but looking at that graceful figure, he had a good temperament.

There is also a handsome man in brocade clothes beside her, who could it be?

"The man next to Miss Ruomeng is that Young Master Mei Qi." Zhou Zhou just explained to him.

"It turned out to be him, he looks very young." Xi Cang said.

"I heard that you are not yet the age of Double Ten, not as old as you and me." Zhou Zhou said casually, "If you want to meet Miss Ruomeng, you have to win him, but if you want to win him, you have to win Jiangnan first. One sword is enough, Jiangnan Yijian is the most popular and most likely to win against Mr. Mei Qi this year."

Xi Cang asked suspiciously, "I think there are many Chinese people among the visitors. If there are both civil and military people, how can we determine the leader?"

Zhou Zhou said, "Wen has Wen Kui, Wu has Wu Kui, but in the end it depends on what Miss Ruomeng wants, whoever she likes will be the Kui."

While the two were talking, there were already three Pianpian young masters showing their strengths on the friendship platform built by Qingshi under the pavilion.

Zhou Zhou pointed out to Xi Cang from the side, "The one playing the piano on the stage is the master of Qinxiao with excellent melody. He is also a well-known figure in Suzhou City. His piece of music is worth a thousand gold, which is nothing. People can hear it when they give money, and today we can be regarded as a coincidence."

Xi Cang didn't know the rhythm, but he could hear the melodious and melodious sound of the piano, and he could feel a sense of spring in this cold winter.

Zhou Zhou continued, "Look at the young man next to him who is reciting the side script. He is the No. 1 Su Jieyuan in this year's autumn. He also has good handwriting, and his handwriting is hard to find in the market today."

Xi Cang is literate. Although he can't remember what happened ten years ago, he hasn't forgotten how to read those words.

"That young master dancing the sword is the Jiangnan Yijian you mentioned, right?"

Zhou Zhou nodded, "That's right, he is Mr. Han Xiao who is known as the No. [-] sword in the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that his swordsmanship is outstanding and his martial arts is extraordinary. He is also among the top figures in the entire rivers and lakes. But I don't know martial arts. So I can't tell what is high or low, but since he is well-known outside, he will not be fake."

Xi Cang took a look and said, "His swordsmanship is indeed exquisite, but not one-tenth of my master's."

"What?" Zhou Zhou looked at him up and down, with a look of doubt on his face, "Who is your master?"

Xi Cang recalled Master's advice, and said, "Master doesn't like me mentioning him to others."

Zhou Zhou couldn't help but believe him when he saw his mysteriousness. After all, there are often some capable people and strangers in the world, but when he saw the iron sword in his hand, he frowned again, "Since your master is so Formidable, then you must not be weak anymore? Do you dare to go up and challenge Jiangnan Yijian?"

Xi Cang just watched the performance of the piano, sword, poetry and calligraphy on the stage, and remained silent.

"it is good!"

There was bursts of enthusiastic applause all around suddenly, and it turned out that the three young masters on the stage had all finished their performances.

Zhou Zhou's expression was tense with a touch of excitement, and more of a sense of watching the excitement, "I wonder who Miss Ruomeng will choose this year?"

As soon as the applause fell, the surroundings returned to calm, but there was a trace of tension in the air, and everyone looked up at the beautiful woman on the pavilion.

I saw that beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes showing her face and smiling, showing the beauty of the country and the city.She spoke in a nonchalant tone, and said slowly, "A sword in the south of the Yangtze River shines in the frost, and Ling Xiaojiu's intention is at ease."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was applause in twos and threes from all around, some congratulating and cheering, some lonely and frustrated, and some like Zhou Zhou who were purely watching the excitement.

"Sure enough, he won the title. I don't know who is better between him and Mr. Mei Qi?"

That Jiangnan Yijian was clasping his fists around to salute, when he heard someone from the crowd yelling.

"Didn't last year's leader want to compete with Mr. Mei Qi again? Will the competition continue this year?"

"That is to say, Mr. Mei Qi won the leader with literature last year, so can he also win the Jiangnan Sword this year with martial arts?"

"I'm here just for this competition, hurry up and let them compete one or two!"

Zhou Zhou shook his head straight after hearing this, "Sure enough, he just watched the excitement and didn't have a lot of time to do."

Xi Cang said, "Didn't you also come to see the excitement?"

Zhou Zhou was at a loss for words.

Seeing that the crowd was booing, Jiangnan Yijian raised his head and made a gesture of invitation to the Mr. Mei Qi upstairs, as if he had a plan in mind and was determined to win.

Seeing this, the Seventh Young Master Mei lifted up the corner of his robe and wanted to jump down from the attic, but he was stopped by the beauty beside him.She looked at Jiangnan Yijian and said, "My family has heard the name of Jiangnan Yijian for a long time. When I saw it today, it is really extraordinary. Tomorrow you, my family will prepare thin wine here, and I hope you will reward me."

Zhou Zhou lost his interest when he heard the words, "There is no competition this year? I'm so looking forward to it."

There were also a lot of complaints from the crowd, and some even complained about last year's leader.

The beauty didn't pay any attention, and a girl in green rushed to the humanity below, "This year's plum appreciation meeting is over, all young masters, please come back!"

The excitement they wanted to see was not seen, and the visitors were a little disappointed, but they could only leave in disappointment.

"and many more!"

Suddenly a black figure rose up from the crowd, and he was in a chic posture, walking in the snow and looking for plum blossoms, flying towards the friend's platform.

The footsteps of everyone who had left turned back again. It is clear that there is still excitement to be seen in the current situation.

The beauty in the attic also turned her head when she heard the words, quietly watching the movement below.

The young man who made the sound landed steadily on the bluestone high platform, just blocking the way of Jiangnan's sword.

Zhou Zhou exclaimed after seeing the man's appearance clearly, "It's him!" Unexpectedly, he was hiding himself, and he really lost his sight.

Xi Cang looked up at the man in the attic, "If I beat him, can the girl buy me a drink?"

Hearing the words, Jiang Nan Yijian couldn't help sneering, "Who are you?"

Xi Cang didn't answer, just looked at the beauty.

The beauty seemed to be sizing him up, and she was silent for a moment before she said, "Okay, if you beat him, I'll invite you."

After Jiang Nan Yijian heard it, his smile became colder, "The tone is not small, report your name."

After getting the answer, Xi Cang turned to look at the person in front of him, "If you beat me, I will tell you my name."

Jiang Nan Yijian saw that he was calm and calm, and thought of the impressive lightness kung fu he showed just now, so he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy at the moment.The rivers and lakes are deep, and there are always unborn masters, but I have been in the rivers and lakes for several years, but I have never met this person. Seeing that he is young but refuses to reveal his name, it is really unpredictable for a while. His background.

Xi Cang saw that he was staring at his face and looking at it, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he took a step back and opened the distance between the two, the sword was already out of its sheath.

"Master Han, please."

Gao Ren's sword was never unsheathed first, Jiang Nan Yijian saw that his attitude was flat, disrespectful, and also saw his straightforward behavior, most of the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately.Thinking about it, Xu is a newborn calf. Seeing that he is good at lightness, I don't know if the sword in his hand is also like this.

"Okay, then let me see how capable you are!"
