144 meet
Boudoir.
The moon and stars were sparse outside the window, and the candlelight in the pavilion was dim.
Liu Zangyue sat in front of the bed, carefully looking at Liu Biran's peaceful sleeping face, and found that there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
This is a sweet smile, a knowing smile from the heart of a young woman.
"That's right, it's really too special for a woman to compete in martial arts to get a bride." When Liu Zangyue saw this, she didn't know whether to laugh or sigh, so she had to cover her with a quilt and sit at the table.
On the table is a thick picture book, which is full of drawings of sword moves and key points. Due to the passage of time, the ink has long faded very lightly, and many places have been hit by raindrops, causing a slight bloom.
of ink flowers.
It's now the third year of my life, and every time I think of those days, it's like a long dream.
Twenty-four years ago, she was fourteen years old. Because of her outstanding swordsmanship, she defeated the entire Liu family and even the entire Liuyun City. Even the children of several proud aristocratic families in the city were beaten into obedience by her. Her parents were
Suffering from her uncontrollable bad temper, I planned to arrange a marriage for her early.
"Do we have to get married? I don't want to get married yet."
"The Wang family next door has a grandson. Before they got married, the girl was as violent as a tigress like you. After getting married, didn't she calm down and take care of her husband and raise her children? You, please be more peaceful."
"Huh, now that the world is peaceful, you just talk about marriage. What if we encounter troubled times? By then, no one can escape, and we have to pick up the sword to get a chance of survival."
"We can wait until troubled times really come to talk about this kind of thing. Now you just get married honestly."
"When you get married, you get married all the time. You guys are so annoying. No matter what, at worst, I will just run away from the marriage and ignore you."
"you!"
"What am I, my eldest brother also escaped from the blind marriage you arranged three months ago, and maybe he is having fun somewhere now. He sent me a message half a month ago, and he has already arrived in the southwest.
It’s in an uninhabited deep mountain and old forest in Miao territory!”
"This brat... Feng'er has a calm temperament and is not impetuous. Even if he escapes from this marriage, he will still be the favored object of many women. Unlike you, people have to consider whether they can beat you before marrying you."
"The worst case scenario is that we won't get married for the rest of our lives." The girl curled her lips and ran out.
But the next day, she was caught by her parents, locked in her room, and sent several experts from the family to take turns to look after her. No matter how she yelled, tried to please, or acted cute, it was of no avail. After seven days like this, she
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I had to compromise and call my father.
"I'm asking for a bride. Isn't it okay if I agree to ask for a bride?"
"Hey, my little witch, why do you suddenly want to marry me today?"
"You locked me in the room, and in order to prevent me from finding an opportunity to escape, you didn't even give me a meal. If I hadn't been so hungry that I couldn't bear it, who would have wanted to come out."
"Well, when you've had enough to eat and drink, you can put on red clothes and parade in the city, waiting for others to come and propose marriage."
"Dad, I want to find a husband to marry me through a martial arts contest, and the person holding the contest is myself."
"Nonsense!"
"What nonsense is this? Besides, didn't my mother say that before others marry me, they have to consider whether they can beat me." The girl opened her mouth and took a big bite of the peach, with a hint of cunning on her autumn-filled face.
I thought to myself, if everyone in this city is scared of me, who would dare to come to propose marriage? In this way, wouldn’t it be natural for me not to get married?
The next day, with the faint morning light on the horizon, Liuyuncheng was filled with camellia flowers in gorgeous colors overnight.
Outside Liuyun City, a man in white and an old man in robe with gray hair and beard but a young face slowly entered the city.
"It's right here, Master." The man in white tugged on the red silk wrapped around his wrist with a smile on his face.
"This is a happy day for others, so don't neglect it." The old man nodded and tapped the sword on his waist.
"I understand." The man in white jumped into the city.
The arena has been set up, and the girl put on a delicate red dress, but it could not hide her original ferocity. She just held the sword and sat in the center of the arena with her legs shaking, watching the sky filled with camellias. It was just as she expected.
, there were many people watching on the side of the stage, but no one dared to come on stage.
"Brother Xu, you haven't been jealous of Zangyue for many years, so why don't you dare to come on stage?"
The young master from an aristocratic family, who was called Brother Xu, suddenly felt ashamed, "I still want to leave an heir for the Xu family."
"Well, Sister Yue is so beautiful, but she has a notoriously bad temper. If she had a better temper, I would marry her even if I divorced my concubines."
Liu Zangyue glanced towards this side with cold eyes, frightening these young men from aristocratic families who were talking in low voices to the point where they could not stop sweating.
The head of the Liu family suddenly became angry and shook his head in anger, "I actually fell into the trap of this little witch!" Liu Zangyue naturally heard what her father said and couldn't help but laugh, as if she was pleased with herself for having succeeded in a prank.
"No one has come on stage for so long, so here I come." A clear male voice interrupted the girl's thoughts.
The girl hurriedly looked up and saw an unfamiliar handsome face through the flying camellias, shining clearly in the sunlight. She frowned and said, "I have never seen you before. You are not from this city."
The man in white clothes smiled back, as soft and warm as the spring breeze blowing on his face. Then he turned to the head of the Liu family and asked, "As a stranger, can I accept Miss Liu as my wife?"
The head of the Liu family, who was eager to marry off his daughter, nodded hurriedly, "I wish you could do it!"
The man in white clothes nodded, "Very good, very good."
The girl looked at the man in white and felt a little unhappy. She felt that this boy was as good-looking as herself, "Where are you from? You look weak and girly. Can you withstand my sword?"
"I'm from Lin'an in the south of the Yangtze River. This place is also called Hangzhou." The man in white said with a smile, "Is the girl about to draw her sword?"
The girl felt that the man in white was speaking very seriously, and his eyes were clear and clear. He was different from the scumbags she had seen before. But her tone was still not polite at all, "I am missing arms and legs when I draw my sword. You
But be careful."
"I can see your extreme reluctance. You don't seem to want to get married?" Bai Yilang asked tentatively.
The girl sneered and said angrily: "You can marry someone, but as my husband, you have to be beaten by me every morning when you get up. Are you willing?"
"You have personality." Bai Yilang suddenly smiled heartily, "You can do it if you don't want to get married, but if I win this competition, can the girl join my master's sect and become my junior sister?"
"What kind of master is this desperate master who is not afraid that his apprentice will outperform him and overwhelm him?" The girl said disdainfully: "I tell you, I have had four teachers in swordsmanship before, and each of them failed to teach me.
You can’t beat me in a month.”
"Hahaha, then do you dare to accept my bet?" Bai Yilang seemed to find the girl in front of him very interesting, and he felt happy unconsciously.
"Come on, who is afraid of whom?" The girl smiled unconsciously for some reason.
That year, the world was quiet, and similarly, the years in the world were quiet.
At that time, it was also the most beautiful season in Liuyun City. The scenery was beautiful, the water was shining, the mountains were like green screens, and the gurgling streams carried camellias flying down and flowed into the distance.
