Lonely City without Frost

As usual, there was no one on the edge of the beach, Zuo Wushuang was greatly irritated by those few words, leaning against the boulder and kicking the sand under his feet non-stop.

Before noon, the sun was also hidden in the clouds and could not be seen. Occasionally, a few gusts of sea breeze blew from unknown directions, and the vast expanse of blue waves did not shake at all, and it was inexplicably calm.

I still remember that I fooled Ajiu back then, if you were not pretty enough when you were walking in the rivers and lakes, then you might as well let others think you are a man.

But no matter how manly she is, she is still a girl. Twenty years is not considered old, but if it is placed in an ordinary family, a boudoir girl of this age will naturally be ridiculed and unable to marry.

Wushuang didn't know why she cared so much about those few words, all in all she was so upset that she didn't want to see that face at all.

The dotted islands and ships on the sea in the distance are invisible and appear and disappear, the sea breeze mixed with salty and wet taste blows towards the face like the panting of the sea, and the golden light cast by the sun that does not know when to show its face is finely fragmented Reflected on the sea, it looks like a golden mirror from a distance.

The boredom in her heart was still unresolved, she suddenly pulled out her sword and practiced on the beach.

Although there was no trick, and the degree of connection between the front and back sword moves was completely incomparable with those famous sword skills, she still liked the fast sword taught by her master very much, even though she hadn't been able to learn it all.

As for the sword technique that Master created for her, just like what she told Ximen at the beginning, although it looks good, it can be used less and less. I don't know if it is a sign of improved sword skills.

The beach is not a good place to practice swords. Every time she landed, she felt that she couldn't stand firmly. She simply took a few steps forward and stood in the middle of the shallow water to practice happily. She didn't care about the resistance brought by the water.

The sea surface was gradually covered by the sun, it was already noon when Zuo Wushuang finished practicing, and the last move ran to the left like a rainbow, stirring up layers of waves.

"call……"

She breathed a sigh of relief and jumped onto the rock on her right.The waves on this side of the shallow water beach gradually calmed down. Looking along the white trace, there seemed to be a white figure at the other end.

A hundred steps away, just like the day we first met, her heart moved, and she flew over there with her sword in hand.

The boots on his feet were still dripping with water, and the hem of his clothes had already been soaked. It was unnatural when performing lightness kung fu, but when he landed, he felt that his posture was too awkward.

She hadn't seen Ye Gucheng when she was stepping on the sand before, and she didn't know when he arrived, "Why is the city lord here?"

As soon as he said the words, he felt that his question was inappropriate. This is his place, so he can go anywhere, and he needs to report to her.

Ye Gucheng didn't frown at her embarrassing appearance, and said calmly, "It's just a casual walk, is Miss Zuo practicing sword here?"

Speaking of the sword, it seemed that the atmosphere between the two of them had also changed. There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of her mouth, "Well, it's just a few casual gestures."

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask Miss Zuo who her teacher is, or is she self-taught like Ximen Chuuxue?"

She was stunned, it was not the first time she encountered this question, but she knew the master's heart of retiring, she almost never answered anyone.

"...What does the city lord think?"

He paused, with a trace of uncertainty in his tone, "In the past, Xiao Li Tanhua was famous all over the world, and his Xiao Li flying knife and Bai Xiaosheng's weapon list ranked third in the list, but it was actually just a flying knife. At that time, there was a very famous swordsman in Jianghu, his sword has never been included in the weapon list, but it can change people's color when they hear it."

Zuo Wushuang sighed silently in his heart, as expected, he still couldn't hide it from the Baiyun City Lord.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Zuo's master should be the fastest sword in the world, Flying Swordsman."

Although he was a little uncertain at the beginning, but in the end there were almost no ups and downs, and the tone was completely certain.

Zuo Wushuang nodded, "I've never mentioned it to anyone, but I don't want to be seen through by the city lord. I did learn from Flying Swordsman, but it's a pity that I have dishonored my master's reputation. The fastest sword in the world is already in my hands. The second is out of the question."

Ye Gucheng kept his eyes on the sea, and his tone was calm but extremely serious, "Miss Zuo is a woman, and she is naturally weaker than men in practicing swordsmanship. In terms of speed alone, I think the whole world can be faster than men." It is really not easy for no more than five people to beat you."

Knowing that with his identity, there is absolutely no need to say lies to comfort himself, Zuo Wushuang immediately felt a lot more relaxed, "The city lord Miozan, I have always regretted why I am not a man."

He didn't speak any more, standing still on the beach like a gorgeous statue, his deep eyes didn't know where he was looking.

thump -- thump -- thump --

After staring at his profile for a long time, she suddenly felt her heartbeat speeding up at the same time, jumping up and down in her chest and almost rushing out of her throat.

When she came back to her senses, her face was already glowing, and she hurriedly lowered her head to avoid her embarrassment being discovered.

"The city lord—"

"Miss Left—"

She almost bit her tongue, and managed to speak clearly again, "Uh, let's talk first, the city lord."

Ye Gucheng didn't refuse, and nodded, "Actually, it doesn't matter too much. Is there any clue about Miss Zuo's matter?"

"...Regardless of whether we can find anything, I would like to thank the city lord for his kindness." She sighed, "I also wanted to say this at first, but Lin Dutong's health has not recovered yet, so I will go and investigate for the time being. The city lord has helped enough."

"Since you're in Baiyun City, you're a guest, it's okay."

For some reason, she always felt extremely harsh and uncomfortable about the guest, but she could only laugh it off.

In the afternoon, when I returned to Baiyun Villa with Ye Gucheng, I was greeted by many residents on the street with puzzled eyes.

And Lin Dutong, who was limping and sticking to his post, saw them walking into the villa together, and even muttered over there that this is not true, this is not true, but it is a pity that neither Zuo Wushuang nor Ye Gucheng paid any attention to him.

The smiling face in the hall was no longer so annoying, Zuo Wushuang looked over with a slanted eyebrow, "Young master, have you finished training?"

"You said the same thing when I saw you in the morning, can't you change it?"

Although her mood improved a lot, she still didn't want to do such things as bickering in front of Ye Gucheng. She rolled her eyes, "Ah, I won't talk about it from now on. Anyway, my guidance is only in name."

"Okay, teacher, don't be angry with me again. I bought good wine and came here to have a farewell banquet with you."

"Farewell?!" She was stunned on the spot, "Are you leaving?"

"I know that my talent is very good, and the teacher is reluctant to leave such an excellent genius like me, but there is always a banquet in the world..."

——Ghosts can't bear it!What she was worried about was that she would have no reason to live here after this guy left!

But of course you can't say such words, Zuo Wushuang pouted, "I'm not reluctant, I'm just afraid that you will lose my face if you go out at this level."

"The teacher said in the morning that he would lose the face of the city lord, why is it now that he has lost your face? Or is it actually..."

Knowing that that mouth could never say anything good, she cut him off with another punch, but this time he was lucky and turned away.

Zuo Wushuang, who missed his punch, saw that he had achieved his goal and didn't chase after him, and said seriously, "That's true, anyway, I haven't really taught you anything, and the style of swordsmanship is so different, even if you really say that I taught you No one believes it?"

"It doesn't matter who loses face, you'd better take a look at this bar first."

Seeing the confident smile on his face, Zuo Wushuang couldn't hold back her curiosity and followed him. The wine on the table hadn't been opened yet. After she skillfully opened it, she smelled a strong and mellow smell. Floating all over the lobby.

Ye Gucheng behind him still had the same expression, but he was the first to sit down.

"Is this meal really a farewell party?" Zuo Wushuang was still a little skeptical.

He sat down on the left side of Ye Gucheng, his expression as usual, "I really didn't expect the teacher to be so reluctant to give up on me, but teacher, don't worry, even if I leave, you can continue to live here with peace of mind."

—Oops, it was revealed.

Even though he was screaming inwardly, on the surface Zuo Wushuang still stared like he wanted to save face, "...what does it matter to you where I live?"

"Ah, I was worrying too much. Anyway, the teacher and the city lord hit it off very well. Naturally, I don't need to say anything, right?"

— Lost again.

Just when she didn't know how to answer, Ye Gucheng suddenly picked up the jar of wine and poured it up, "Such a good wine, are you going to waste it?"

This is really not like what he would say, but Zuo Wushuang didn't think too much about it, and immediately grabbed the topic and continued, "Never waste it, three thousand guests in a house full of flowers and drunkenness is not a good way to say it."

"Oh? The teacher is said to never get drunk after a thousand cups, so I really want to experience it today."

"Drink with me if you are brave enough." She hooked her lips and smiled, "I think I drank the three big men of the Hua family, the third son and the fifth son, back then, and my drinking capacity was not as good as it is now. , Is it possible that you also want to try today?"

"I can't, I'm leaving Baiyun City tomorrow, it's not a good thing to get drunk tonight."

"Then stop talking big." She glanced at him, then took a sip of the wine in front of her without grace, "It really is a good wine!"

"and many more--!"

"Huh?" Zuo Wushuang was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he was so excited all of a sudden, "Is there a problem? Or are you reluctant?"

"...How can I be reluctant to take it out." He covered half of his face with his left hand and tapped the table with his right hand, "This wine is too easy to get drunk, and almost no one can drink it without falling down."

Zuo Wushuang stared at him as if he didn't feel it, "I'm fine, right?"

He sighed, "This wine is called Yimeng Sansheng. If you drink it directly, you will get drunk and sleep for three days. You must drink it with a certain amount of old daughter red. I don't know why you Not drunk, but almost everyone who drank like this in the past woke up after sleeping for three days."

"...Ah..." Just as she was about to refute a few more words, a burst of indescribable dizziness hit her, and she fell down on the table almost without the ability to resist.

"I really didn't expect it to be so effective."

Ye Gucheng's expression didn't change, and when he heard his words, he just looked down at her who was lying on the table and fell asleep, "I still don't think it's necessary to take this risk."

"I'm measured." The smile on his face was completely different from his usual banter, "But that's good, let's stop here, and she can't find anything, so you can rest assured. "

"Of course I know."

The aroma of wine is overflowing, and the room is quiet.
