Gold sparring [Comprehensive + Sword III]

Although the prince went to Hangzhou to learn swordsmanship with the emperor's consent, he did not make any publicity along the way.

Moreover, after entering Hidden Sword Villa to pay homage to his teacher, he did not put on airs as a prince.

Ye Weixing noticed that he only kept two bodyguards, and didn't bring the rest into the villa at all, so he felt that the future king of a country really had a big heart.

In this regard, the prince said that he came here to learn from his teacher, and he had to show sincerity.

"What's more, Gu believes that someone as high-spirited and upright as Master, even if he doesn't like Gu's qualifications, he will definitely not hurt Gu." He said.

Ye Weixing: "..."

Forgive her for not expecting that she would have a day when she would be described as high-spirited and virtuous.

After a brief silence, she asked the prince what his plans were next.

After all, he is the crown prince, and there are countless important occasions that require him to attend in a year, unlike her other apprentices, who can live here directly after completing their apprenticeship, until they learn how to be a teacher before leaving.

Hearing her question, the prince immediately told her all about his arrangements.

The crown prince said: "Before this time, I made an agreement with my father that I would go back to Beijing every twelfth lunar month, wait until the first lunar month is out, perform the sacrificial ceremony, and then go to Hangzhou to continue learning swords."

When Ye Weixing heard this, he found that the father and son were much more serious about apprenticeship and learning swordsmanship than she had imagined. He immediately suppressed the smile on his lips and said, "Then I will arrange a residence for His Highness?"

The prince nodded and said, "Thank you, Master."

Ye Weixing immediately waved his hands: "No, no, your Highness doesn't have to be so polite."

It is a big deal for the emperor's son to live permanently. If it is an ordinary family, it may not even be possible to build a suitable courtyard.

Fortunately, Ye Weixing doesn't have this trouble, there are many idle houses in Hidden Sword Villa.

She thought about it, and arranged the prince and his party in a large courtyard next to the West Lake, which could not only accommodate his accompanying guards, but also avoid the disturbance of irrelevant personnel in the village.

The most important thing is that this courtyard is the farthest from the building outside and is the quietest.

The prince was also very satisfied. After passing by, he only took a few glances before nodding his head and said, "That's it."

Seeing that the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, Ye Weixing also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as His Highness likes it."

As the crown prince of a country, the prince has seen countless good things since he was a child, but on the way along the West Lake to his residence, he still praised the Tibetan sword villa all over to save face.

When he saw the small courtyard guarded by many guards on the other side of the lake, he was a little curious: "What's over there?"

Ye Weixing glanced at him and said it was Jianzhong.

"Sword Tomb?" The prince's tone was full of interest, "Can I go and have a look?"

"Of course." Ye Weixing readily agreed, "But there are only a few sword casting furnaces inside."

When she mentioned the sword casting furnace, the prince immediately reacted.

He slapped his head and said: "Yes, master is not only superb in swordsmanship, but also a famous swordsmith in the world."

Ye Weixing coughed and said it was okay, it was just not ashamed.

Afterwards, she took the prince for a walk around the heavily guarded Sword Tomb.

The prince looked at those sword-forging furnaces, and suddenly asked: "Hasn't Master opened the furnace for a long time?"

Ye Weixing said yes, indeed the furnace hadn't been turned on for a while.

"However, before I went to Lingnan, I planned to forge a sword for each of His Highness' three senior brothers. Now that the matter of King Nan's rebellion has been resolved, I can slowly prepare." She paused at this point, "As for Your Highness...I'm afraid I will have to teach you for a while before I can determine what kind of sword is suitable for you."

An extremely precocious child like the prince immediately understood what she meant.

He smiled and said: "Gu has just started learning, so I'm not in a hurry."

Ye Weixing: "Your Highness never learned it before?"

He shook his head: "I only read some sword manuals, but I asked Uncle Wang to find them for Gu."

"Uncle Wang?" Ye Weixing remembered that there were very few brothers today.

"It's not King Nan." The crown prince explained, "It's King Taiping."

Ye Weixing: "..."

Holy crap, Gong Jiu's father?

Seeing her delicate expression, the prince couldn't help but be concerned: "What? Master knows King Taiping?"

Ye Weixing immediately straightened his expression and denied it: "No, I just heard about it."

The prince laughed again immediately, and said: "That's right, Uncle Wang's reputation is indeed spread far and wide."

When King Taiping was still a prince, he was the most flamboyant one in their generation. He ran to the Goulan gambling house outside the palace every three days, and learned the skills of eating, drinking and having fun.

However, it was precisely because he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, that's why when the emperor ascended the throne, he was not sealed elsewhere and let him continue to be his romantic and idle prince in the capital.

The first sword manual the prince read was from his Taiping Palace.

At that time, after reading the sword manual, the prince felt that it was much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics, which was not difficult for him, so for the next six months, every time he saw this Uncle Wang, the prince asked him to replace him. Find some sword manuals.

King Taiping should have agreed, but considering his status, he still told his emperor brother about it.

After all, he really can't bear the responsibility of bringing down the crown prince of a country.

After the emperor learned about it, he didn't blame them, but asked his son if he really wanted to learn swordsmanship.

The prince thought about it and said yes.

The emperor: "Then learn, I will invite some teachers into the palace for you, and study hard, how about it?"

The prince refused, because he felt that a swordsman who had really achieved great success in the way of swords would definitely not be willing to enter the palace to teach him, even if his father ordered it himself, it would be useless.

As for those swordsmen who are willing to enter the palace to teach him how to practice swords, he doesn't look down on them.

He said: "If I learn, I will learn from the best."

The emperor laughed, and said that let's put this matter aside, and wait until he meets a suitable candidate.

Afterwards, the Southern King conspired against him, and Ye Weixing entered the palace with him, but turned against him at the last moment and protected the emperor's safety.

Although the crown prince was not present, he also heard Ouchi guards mention the thrilling scene at that time.

He went to ask the emperor if he could worship Ye Wei as his teacher?

The emperor asked him if he was serious about being a teacher.

He said yes, because there is no better swordsman in the world.

"Then you go to worship." The emperor said, "But you also said that there is no better swordsman than her in the world. If she doesn't want to accept you, you can't force her."

After agreeing to this matter, the emperor even gave him an idea, asking him to ask Zhuge Shenhou what is Ye Weixing's criteria for accepting disciples.

Zhuge Shenhou recalled the three apprentices Ye Weixing accepted, and felt that there was only one standard.

"Aptitude." He said, "Master Ye's three apprentices are all first-rate talents."

In this way, the prince finally has a little confidence in his heart.

Because he knows that his qualifications are very good.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Weixing had a new understanding of the emperor on the dragon chair.

She sighed and said, "It seems that His Majesty is still a good father."

The prince hooked the corners of his lips noncommittally, brought the topic back to the sword, and asked her when she could officially start learning.

Ye Weixing thought for a while, and said: "Your Highness traveled a long distance to Hangzhou, it's better to rest for one night first, and I will come to find His Highness tomorrow morning."

Of course the crown prince had no objection. After resting in the courtyard that belonged to him alone, he even sent his own guards to send the meeting gift he brought from the capital to the main hall for the rest of the division.

Ye Weixing thought at first that he would prepare some expensive gift, but when he opened it, he was stunned.

The child prepared different gifts for his three senior brothers, but all of them were very careful, which shows how much homework he had done when he went to ask God Zhuge for advice.

He gave Ximen Chuixue a few facsimiles of medical books brought out from Taiyuan Hospital, Yuan Suiyun two baskets of fruits from Taiyuan, and Leng Xue a few pieces of cloth. Ye Weixing took a look and found that Leng Xue was brought by Chu Liuxiang The kind of fabric you wore when you came back.

In addition to the three of them, he also gave three little girls a set of jewelry.

This level of care, let alone Ye Weixing, even Ji Bingyan couldn't help admiring that His Royal Highness is really good at being a man.

Ye Weixing: "Yes, and his aptitude is indeed very good."

Ji Bingyan: "Then this apprentice is not losing money."

She nodded: "From now on, we must pay more attention to the guards of the villa."

If something happened to the crown prince in Hidden Sword Villa, then they would have to bear a great deal of responsibility.

Ye Weixing himself was alright, he was the number one swordsman in the world, even if he left this villa and fled for his life, it didn't matter, but there were so many servants in Hidden Sword Villa that he couldn't escape.

Ji Bingyan: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Ye Weixing: "With your arrangement, of course I can rest assured."

"Believe me that much?"

"Don't you believe me?" she asked back.

Looking at her expression, Ji Bingyan thought to herself, of course I believe you, and it's not as simple as trusting you.

It was rare for him to just stare at people without saying a word, especially at this moment when he stared at people for more than a while, it was hard for Ye Weixing not to care.

"What's the matter?" she asked. "You have something to say?"

The second half of the sentence brought him back to his senses instantly, he opened his mouth and said, "There is something I want to tell you."

Ye Weixing: "?"

She said you go ahead and I'm listening.

"Don't change places?" They were still standing in the main hall of Hidden Sword Villa.

"Then go to the lake and talk?" She asked tentatively.

Just as Ji Bingyan was about to say yes, there was a notification from a guard outside the door.

The guard said that there was a young man surnamed Cui outside the gate of the villa asking to see Ye Weixing.

Ji Bingyan: "..."

Although he has nothing against Cui Lueshang, but after the two encounters last night and just now, it is really hard for him not to have some opinions on this god-legged chasing life.

But his opinions don't matter, Ye Weixing was obviously very happy to hear that Cui Lue came over.

She said to the guard: "It's my friend, let him come in."

After the guard responded, she turned around, and she clicked her tongue and said, "I just came here now, so I must have woken up not long ago. It seems that he doesn't drink much better than me."

Ji Bingyan: "..."

Seeing the expression on his face that someone owed him money again, Ye Weixing hurriedly said: "I'll say hello to him first, and then I'll come to you to discuss business."

Ji Bingyan: "Forget it, it's not a serious matter, let's talk about it later."

When he finished speaking, Cui Lueshang followed the guards into the villa.

Ji Bingyan saw this young man standing in the sun waving at Ye Weixing from a distance, and felt it was extremely annoying.

"I'm going first," he said.

……

Cui Lueshang came to say goodbye to Ye Weixing.

He was used to his family from all over the world, and he came to Hangzhou this time to thank her, but now that he has thanked her, he also had another drink that was unimaginable to him in the past, and he was quite satisfied.

Ye Weixing was not surprised when he said he was leaving, after all, she had two friends with similar personalities to him.

"It's a pity that I can't introduce you this time." She said, "The two of them heard that I had settled the Nanwang matter, so they couldn't wait to go to sea again."

"There will definitely be a chance in the future." Cui Lueshang was actually a bit pity, but he thought about it very openly, "Maybe at that time, I will be able to compete with that Mr. Chu."

Hearing how free and easy he was, Ye Weixing couldn't help laughing: "Yes, there will always be another chance."

Cui Lueshang scratched his head and said, "Then I'll take my leave, and I'll go to Hangzhou on my next trip, and then I'll find Master Ye for a drink."

Ye Weixing didn't ask him where he was going, but only said: "Then I'll take you to the door."

He patted the gourd on his waist without refusing.

When they reached the gate of the village, Ye Weixing talked to him about the agreement they made when they were in South China Sea.

Ye Weixing said: "Don't forget to report my name when you encounter trouble."

Cui Lueshang laughed loudly, untied the gourd and took a big gulp, then stepped out and got on his horse, and waved to her.

At this time, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and there was a gust of autumn wind.

Ye Weixing stood where he was, watching him disappear all the way from his field of vision before turning back to the village.

……

In the days that followed, she had one more apprentice to teach, and she started teaching from the beginning, which was much busier than before going to Lingnan.

Fortunately, the three of Ximen Chuuxue have their own habits and methods in sword practice, so she doesn't need to worry about it all the time.

Compared with them, the prince's talent is actually a bit worse.

But the prince has a good personality, knowing that he is not a natural swordsman like his seniors, so he doesn't hold himself to their perverted standards.

In his opinion, practicing sword is actually similar to reading.

Reading the same book can produce different understandings, so learning the same swordsmanship is naturally the same.

Ye Weixing admired him very much, so even if she needed to spend a little more time teaching him, she would be very happy to teach him.

Moreover, the prince's comprehension is very good. After the beginning of laying the foundation, the more he learns, the smoother he will be.

In this way, Ye Weixing finally had time to start preparing for the furnace to forge the sword.

In terms of materials, she didn't need to worry about it. She only used a small portion of the black iron she brought back from Wuming Island, but if she wanted to open the furnace, she would have to go to the Sword Tomb for retreat.

Before retreating, she must prepare all the necessities for her life in the sword mound.

Although she doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing herself, it still takes time.

So after confirming that the furnace was going to be turned on, she waited for another three days before entering the Sword Tomb.

When building the Hidden Sword Villa, she told the second son of the Hua family that she must take this sword mound as the top priority to supervise and strive to achieve the effect she wanted as close as possible.

Although the sword mound that was built in the end couldn't compare with the almost fantasy appearance in the game, it was enough for retreat and forging swords.

Before retreating, she specially told the guard commander of Hidden Sword Villa to strengthen the guard before she came out.

"If you encounter something that you can't make up your mind about, just ask Mr. Ji, his order is my order, you know?"

The commander of the guards nodded respectfully: "This subordinate knows."

Only then did Ye Weixing feel relieved to retreat.

Compared with her usual life, sword casting is really a very boring process without any mistakes, especially this time she is still making swords for her three apprentices.

These three people have different personalities, and their direction in the way of the sword has also begun to emerge. It is the time when they most need a sword that suits them, and Ye Weixing dare not and does not want to be sloppy.

When she devotes herself to one thing, she often forgets the time.

So during the days of retreat, although there was no shortage of food or beds, she still often forgot to eat and sleep.

However, sword casting is an extremely labor-intensive science, so when the three swords were finally forged and released, she lost a lot of weight.

After the sword was cast, she continued her habit of wearing the No. [-] Under Heaven vest, and engraved the serial number and name on the sword body.

Ximen Chuixue's handle is "Ba", named Tunwu; Yuan Suiyun's handle is "Jiu", named Qianye Changsheng; Lengxue's handle is "Shi", named Fenghan.

Although these three names are still not her own ideas, compared to the ones that were randomly chosen by others before, they can be regarded as being decided after careful consideration, especially the one of Ximen Chuuxue.

He has learned so far, although the general framework of the moves still comes from the hidden sword martial arts that Ye Weixing taught him, but when he draws the sword, it is more like a sword of Taixu. When Ye Weixing made him a sword, he referred to the game The pure yang orange weapon in it.Now that it has been cast and released, the name "Tun Wu" is just right.

After engraving the number and name, she went out and handed the sword to her three apprentices.

These three swords took so much effort from her, so they are the best swords among the best swords.

Even Ximen Chuuxue, who has always been calm, rarely showed a surprised expression when he got it.

Seeing this, Ye Weixing couldn't help asking them: "How is it, do you still like it?"

Leng Xue blinked his blue eyes and nodded quickly, Yuan Suiyun followed closely behind, only Ximen Chuuxue, as if he didn't hear the question, his eyes were still locked on the sword in his hand.

"Axue?" She called him.

Only then did he regain his senses, clenched the hilt of his sword, and said solemnly, "Thank you, Master."

Looking at the reactions of the three senior brothers, the prince and the prince holding wooden swords flashed his eyes, and suddenly asked, "Is the master only forging swords for apprentices now?"

Ye Weixing was a little surprised: "Why does Your Highness ask this?"

The prince twitched the corners of his lips, and said: "Gu has a cousin. The Marquis of God said that his talent in martial arts is far superior to Gu. Gu originally wanted to bring him to apprentice with him, but his mother was seriously ill, and he didn't want to leave the capital. One came."

"If Master is still willing to forge swords for others now, I only want to ask for a sword for him." The prince said.

When Ye Weixing heard the word cousin, he had basically guessed who the prince was talking about, and when he heard him say that his cousin's martial arts talent was far superior to his own, he became even more certain.

"But Prince Taiping?" she asked.

"Yes." The crown prince nodded, "It is Prince Taiping."

Ye Weixing thought about it, but he didn't say whether to cast or not, but asked the prince: "Princess Taiping is seriously ill?"

Prince: "Yes, she has always been in poor health, and Uncle Wang is very flirtatious..."

Ye Weixing understood immediately.

She pondered for a moment, then said: "Then, according to this, I think what this prince needs most now is probably not a sword, but the care of his relatives."

"What's more, he is younger than His Highness, so he must have not started formal sword training. Even if I cast it for him, it may not be suitable for him."

"If he learns the sword later, and his character can make me sure, it's not that I can't forge a sword for him."

"Master is right." The prince thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then when Gu returns to Beijing in two months, find something else for him."
