Crown Sword

Taiyuan 20 years.

To the west of the ancient city of Jinyang, at the foot of Mount Hanging, there are two thatched huts, a small courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences, vines and flowers are planted, and two incense trees are planted side by side.

On the stone table under the tree, there was a girl in bright red bunt, who was only twenty-eight years old, and was taking a nap.

Hearing the rustling sound, the girl woke up suddenly, half of her eyelids were lifted, and when she saw the green figure approaching her, she jumped out like a leopard, jumped three feet on her leather boots, and shouted in the ears: "Liu Zikuo , Auntie, I have been looking for you all morning, where are you going? You are invited to be an accountant, not a cook!"

As he said that, he opened his almond eyes and reached out to snatch the cloth bag from the person's arms.

The little brother is more than half a foot taller than her, but he is a coward. When the little girl called out, he clutched the mouth of the sack with both hands, took two steps back with shy eyebrows, and said tremblingly: "This... this is not a cold food general. Finally, fire was banned according to the law, so Xiaosheng went to the town to buy some round-grained rice and barley, and dried nuts in the kitchen, and wanted to make some dry porridge and cheese."

"Cold food? Are there still people who are desperate for cold food these days? Wasn't it abolished by the King of Zhao 60 years ago?" , How many kings are welcome and sent to the north, they can't afford to eat, and they still think about this and that!"

Liu Zikuo smiled wryly, and wanted to refute her in a hurry, but because of his prestige, he had to swallow his anger and shrink his voice again: "Don't say that, girl Shuangli is new here, she doesn't know anything, and she doesn't follow the old rules anywhere in the world. Only the land of the Three Jin Dynasties cannot be desecrated, that is disrespect to Jiezi."

Seeing that the face of the girl in front of him was the same, he hurried forward and continued: "When the Shi Le ban came, the hailstorm in Jieshan was as big as an egg for three days, causing countless deaths and injuries. Be careful that disaster comes from your mouth!"

"scare!"

The little girl was really bluffed by him, but it was not because of the legend, but because of the sudden increase in the volume of her voice.Liu Zikuo received two slaps on the forehead immediately: "Don't think I'll let you off just by saying that, where's the account book?"

"Xiaosheng really can't do it!"

Shuang Li said angrily: "Coax ghosts! Last time I was in Jinyang City, I saw you with two eyes, and I answered the question asked by that sloppy scribe with two beards. What kind of grandson and scriptures are you? Unbalanced accounts?"

"It's "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics," Liu Zikuo blurted out to correct him, recalling the messy pile of booklets pushed to him after being captured by this girl, his cheeks turned pale, "That day, the young student talked about the method of measuring the sun." , but using the important mission technique taught by the ancestors of the Liu family. This... This is completely irrelevant to the account book, how can it be confused? Besides, even the calculation scriptures don't talk about this, why don't you ask a question for the girl And listen?"

"Let's just do this!" Liu Zikuo thought for a while, and continued on by himself.When it comes to arithmetic, he changed his previous low-browed and pleasing eyes, and his whole person was in high spirits. )”

"To shut up!"

Shuang Li didn't care about things, only felt the noise in his ears, pushed the person, and threatened: "Anyway, you give my aunt a good job, don't forget that the scribe troubled you later, but I spent money to settle it! "Thinking about it and getting angry, I sat back on the stone pier, my cheeks bulging, "I knew I was a freelancer, so I might as well take the money to buy Lao Yue a drink."

Hearing the sound of "Old Moon", Liu Zikuo became excited: "Miss, do you really know Gongyang Yue?"

The girl immediately kept silent, and only glanced at him vigilantly.

There are two ways of good and evil in today's world, if you talk about the limelight, who can overshadow Gongyangyue, Nanjian Valley Yunshentai, such a place where the fairy wind gathers and the way of the sword is bright, but it can also give birth to vicious snakes and scorpions, Zhi Xiaoer Ye It's all light, it's clear that all the faults are white bones, there is a word in the martial arts, even the Tiandujiao in southern Yunnan, who has always been criticized as evil, will lose a bit.

Liu Zikuo's ancestors practiced algebra, and he was a scholar, so he didn't understand the affairs of the world, but he was curious about it.But he is not stupid, seeing people's secretiveness, knowing that these people have a lot of rules, he immediately changed his words: "Young lady looking for Mr. Accountant, nothing more than managing money, why save so much money?"

"Do you know Emperor Shige? It's the North Star of Zhengdao Martial Arts. It sits on Yunmengze, three mountains and four lakes. It was awarded the title of 'eternal emperor' by the imperial pen for protecting the clan's south crossing. One Pavilion, One Teaching' Emperor’s Pavilion!" Shuang Li’s cheeks were flushed, and she held her face in a silly smile, "Every midsummer, the pavilion owner will hold a cloud gate sacrifice on Youqiongjing, I really want to see it."

Emperor Shige, who doesn't know?

It is not only sought after by martial arts people, but also a holy place yearned for by celebrities all over the world.In the Daze, the disciples entered the martial arts with music. The ancestor Shi Yan, who served as the master of the pavilion, was the great music official of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient times. He was regarded as the god of music.

Shuang Li took a sip of the rice wine slowly, and was very familiar with this: "It was originally called Yunmeng Konghou City. Because most of the clansmen in the Great Zhou Dynasty held the position of Dalezheng, passing on music theory and studying politics, it was changed to the emperor's teacher. Emperor Wu prospered the Han Dynasty, and the Shi family has been divided into two lines since then, one of which escaped the world and dreamed of Yunmeng, which originated in Wulin. Clear knowledge, while the other branch enters the imperial court to assist the government, for example... For example, Shi Dan, who advised the policy of "restricting land and restricting slaves", once served as the prince and Taifu, and became the name of the emperor's teacher, so that he has the emperor of today Great sacrifice to enshrine."

Liu Zikuo also found it novel, and listened with great interest, and when she finished speaking, he sighed: "I heard about it a little bit, but it has been discontinued since seven years ago, and it has not been repeated until now. It is rumored among students that General Xie Xuan died of illness. It is related. I heard that the pavilion master and him are close friends who have forgotten their age."

"There was a rumor a few years ago that the restoration was in sight." Shuang Li smiled and rolled her eyelashes, clenching her fists excitedly, "At that time, I will buy all the boats in the Reed Sea, and no one else will be allowed to have Qiongjing. Put down the seat on Baizhangyuan, ha! Only I can enjoy it alone!"

Shuang Li squinted his eyes, and when he talked about his excitement, he gave him two bold slaps on the shoulders, acting like a little adult: "Be obedient and obedient, and I will reward you with a seat when I am happy!"

"Come on, the girl is saving money...to see Pavilion Master Shiang?"

When he pointed out the key point, Shuang Li's cheeks were flushed, but she was not ashamed, but patted her chest to meet him: "So what? Also, don't use 'look'. , you thought you were watching a Xijing opera, playing monkeys, going through hoops, swallowing knives and spitting fire!"

"Look, Xiaosheng, it can't be done."

Liu Zikuo tucked his hands into his sleeves, sat down on the straw mat, shaking his head.

"nonsense!"

Liu Zikuo dodged her slap: "I'm not talking nonsense. I'm in Jinyang today. Xiaosheng heard the knight-errant from the south say that Jiangzuo changed the sky. After the battle of Feishui, the Xie family was in full swing. The clan should be afraid! Let alone The martial arts sect that has made good friends with the Xie family has to be manipulated by the court. It is foolish to think that there will be no shadow of it!"

Shuang Li paused, her face was very ugly, no one in the world knew the truth of Liu Zikuo's words better than her, but she was fascinated by her daughter's affection and deceived herself.

The girl turned around and kicked the door hard to enter the house.

Seeing this, Liu Zikuo couldn't help muttering: "It's not that he is Wen Daweng's disciple, but he doesn't look like he doesn't know anything about this question, nor is he like the rumors in the world, who knows everything in the world..."

Before the words were finished, the people in the house rushed out like a hurricane, and rushed up the mountain in a hurry, so frightened that the toon cake in hand of the poor scholar almost hit the back of his foot.

On the mountainside of Xuanweng Mountain, a temple of Jiezitui was built. The temple is not hidden, but it has been desolate and inaccessible due to years of wars.Shuang Li brushed aside the weeds on the mountain road and made sure that there was no one left or right. Then he entered the hall, knelt down on the mat, and then took out a personal jewel from his bosom and held it in his palm.

If you look carefully, the orb is cold in color, and there is a butterfly pregnant in it.

"There is a spirit in the dark, I want Jiang Zuo's information, the more the better," the girl prayed, and then put the orb and a flying feather on the note, and put them together behind the clay pot on the altar of the temple. "Still following the old rules."

Before leaving, Shuang Li took a deep look back, raised his head and was dazzled by the sun, as if he was in a dream——

There is an anecdote in the rivers and lakes. It is said that there is an old man who is famous and well-known. He knows all kinds of things in the world, understands the principles of all living beings, and knows everything.This person traveled around Kyushu, and his traces were hard to find, so he only chose a restaurant to list on the first day of the month. If someone asked, he would put the bamboo slips of books and articles into a urn, and someone would collect them and indicate the time and place for the delivery of the money and goods.

However, people in the world don't know that there is no such thing as a well-known old man who is "everyone knows the world". There is only a cardamom girl who makes money with this, and a source of news that even the girl doesn't know.

Shuang Li felt uneasy, and was still in a trance after going down the mountain.It was like this every time, but every time she got the desired result. She didn't tell others about all these things, but she depended on each other for life. Gong Yangyue, who was regarded as her brother, was just like Liu Zikuo, making up a lie of a well-known disciple.

But she is not afraid, true or false is not important to her, as long as she can get the news with one hand, and money with one hand is enough, compared to going to Emperor Shige Pavilion to watch Master Ang and preside over the cloud gate sacrifice, all living beings are trivial matters.

When I returned to the thatched cottage, there was another person in front of the door, talking with Liu Zikuo through the fence.Feeling vigilant, Shuang Li slowly stepped forward to check, but before he got close, the man turned his head to look.

Coarse clothes with swords, no crowns, hair tied randomly behind the head, into a ponytail.At first glance, it doesn’t look like an ordinary traveler’s dress, but Shuang Li lived in the rivers and lakes since childhood, and his experience in people is comparable to that of Liu Zikuo, a bookworm. The first thing he saw was the hairband, which is doped with gold threads, and the pattern of three-legged birds can be seen faintly; The sword, the fringe of the sword is exquisite, and there are also sun patterns on the twisted silk thread; at the end of the look, the eyes are deep and the eyebrows are raised, there is more than handsome but not enough, too sharp, it is by no means ordinary.

Obviously, this person deliberately concealed his identity.

However, the people who can find here to buy news must have some skills, most of the people with skills are not easy, and it is understandable to deceive others.

Shuang Li felt that the pattern was familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while, so he walked forward with his head held high.Just as he was about to speak, the man suddenly took half a step back.

The double carp advanced again, and the man retreated again, as if he was avoiding her.

Could it be that my identity as "Wen Daweng" was exposed and he respected me so much?Shuang Li's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't dare to show any strangeness, she just winked at Liu Zikuo who was stunned to the side.

The latter suddenly agreed, but the words were still stuck in his throat, and the man turned around and left.

Shuang Li suddenly came to his senses, his movements and gaze were neither reverence nor fear, but seemed a little panicked.But why panic? Hearing that Da Weng only sells news, not murder?It can't be because of her female status, right?Is there anyone in this world who is afraid of women?

"Hey, who is he looking for?" When the person disappeared completely, the girl beckoned the nerd to sit down.

"Old man Wenda."

"what?"

"I just asked old man Wenda if he took a nap here, and didn't ask anything else."

Both of them were silent, Shuang Li only felt his hair stand on end, and shivered unknowingly, already thinking in his heart that this place is not suitable to stay for a long time——

Just now that man walks lightly and steadily, and his skill is not shallow, it is strange that he came from thousands of miles and didn't buy anything, if he has no money and wants to arrest the two of them by force, it will be difficult. Recently, Gong Yangyue took over a job If people are not in Xuanweng Mountain, they will not be able to quench their thirst if they are far away.

"how do you say?"

"According to what you told me, let's say I don't know, but he obviously doesn't believe me, I can't fool you, so I use the excuse that Master has been out of the Three Passes recently, and later you know..."

Shuang Li pinched his fingers and counted, but the time was not right: "Nothing else?"

Liu Zikuo pondered for a moment, then patted his head: "Oh! When he first arrived, he said he was traveling in a hurry, so he asked me for a glass of water and wine, and some food. He thought he was a passer-by, so he took the little meat left in the kitchen. gave it to him."

Hearing this, the girl rushed to the stone table, picked up the jug and shook it, but there was no sound in it, obviously she had bottomed out.

"Oops! The jerky and rice wine are both local products that Lao Yue brought along from Jinyang a few days ago. This man has such a strong tracking ability, and his behavior is different. He must have discovered something!" Shuang Li threw the clay pot away, anxiously I have to walk back and forth, "No, this person is not here for Wenda, he is here for Lao Yue at all!"

Shuang Li's heart was on fire, regretting her carelessness——

The two depended on each other for life, and she always subconsciously protected Gongyangyue, so no one had ever bought news about this devil who made the world fearful. After a short contact, it should be thought that there is a tyrannical news dealer covering up.

We must find Lao Yue quickly!

"That pattern... Believe in the Golden Crow, it's... Goguryeo!" Shuang Li gritted his teeth, pushed Liu Zikuo away, led the horse to the back of the yard, and then pulled out a jade from his waist. After thinking about it, he forced it After going back, after two or three years, I gritted my teeth and threw it away, "I'm going to Jinyang, you pack up your clothes quickly, and hide elsewhere for a while, the account book, bring the account book, you scholars are all trustworthy, this is the deposit , I will come and get it from you!"

Liu Zikuo chased him out, tripped over a broken stone, failed to catch up, and shouted anxiously: "Don't take the Xiling Fen Waterway, Xiaosheng just came back from there, and someone drowned in the river, it's scary!"
