The great hero, from nine to five

Shi Jian.

Inside the Tianshou Pavilion, a beautifully dressed little girl in brocade clothes looked around furiously. After making sure there was no one there, she carefully took out something from her bosom, rubbed it and sniffed it curiously. , and stick out his tongue, ready to lick.

Just at this moment, a white light flashed past, and with a whistling sound, a sword energy precisely passed through her fingers, and instantly knocked out the strange little pill.

"Oh——" She was taken aback by the sudden attack, her whole body trembled for a few times, and after a few breaths, she came back to her senses, looked in the direction of the attack, and saw a plainly dressed, looking A young man with no airs.

"My lord—"

The person who made the move was none other than Xiao Xuanwu, the current city lord of Shijian, the "Wei Yueyan" of Sisu Sect.

"A Guo!" Xiao Xuanwu stepped forward a few steps with a cold face, staring at his little retainer, although his tone was not too harsh, but his words trembled, and he could hear that he was both surprised and angry, "I am not with you!" Have you said it? You are not allowed to touch these things!"

He was furious and stared at his retainers, as if he wanted to strike at any time.

"Ah..." The little retainer looked at Xiao Xuanwu, immediately shook his head, and replied in a panic, "My lord, my lord, I just have a taste, to try the taste...

Put it there and don’t allow it to be eaten, and others are still scrambling to grab it, I’m just curious—”

"Don't be curious!" Xiao Xuanwu got angry and was about to make a move, but he quickly held back, took a few deep breaths, squatted down slightly, stretched out his hand, and rubbed the little retainer's head, his tone gradually calmed down "A Guo, these so-called Magic Xun Buddha flowers and fruits are not good things, haven't you seen them? Those who ate these things are talking, losing their minds, withered and weak.

You have finally become so beautiful, do you want to be like those people and become unsightly? "

After hearing Xiao Xuanwu's words, the little retainer was still a little aggrieved, because she was really just curious, and felt that it didn't matter if she tasted it a little bit, and she definitely wouldn't eat it all the time. Mood, she was not too uncomfortable.

As a girl, she lived very poorly since she was a child, and she was especially envious of those geisha who are very beautifully dressed. Now that she finally has the opportunity to dress up, she really doesn't want to be affected by other things, so she nodded reluctantly. head.

Xiao Xuanwu sighed in his heart.

It's so hard to have kids...

But, even so, the little retainer couldn't help but said: "But...my lord, if you don't give it to me, why do you often give it to others...This is obviously something from our territory."

The little retainer followed Xiao Xuanwu, and lived too many hard times. Whenever there was a war, all he thought about was grabbing money and grain. Now Xiao Xuanwu finally secured his position as the Lord of Shijian, and he had the resources of the entire Shijian to dispatch. , but gave away the most precious things in the city to the people in the city at will, and even gave away a lot of raw materials... She felt uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanwu laughed lightly, rubbed the little retainer's head again, stood up, and explained to her.

Xiao Xuanwu didn't have a good impression of the Moxun Buddha Flower Fruit. In his opinion, it seemed to be a kind of enjoyment for high-end people. Although there would be some side effects, he felt that those nobles and great warriors had sufficient wealth, so it was probably not Don't care about these "small side effects".But this is not a good thing after all.

He has experienced many things. When he just broke through and became a second-rate master, he was already known far and wide as a "genius warrior", but because he wanted to enjoy himself, he was overtaken by some people who looked down on him before, and he was almost beaten by his enemy. Siege, since then, he has completely cut off the idea of ​​"enjoyment". Even now, his life is very simple.

Now, what he pursues, apart from higher martial arts, is to help Xuanwu Xingjun complete his career.

In this case, he would naturally consider the situation of the Sisu Sect.

Nowadays, Sisu religion can be described as internal troubles and external aggression. Outside it has the famous name of Longzuo Temple and the people of Shengjin staring at it. Inside, there are many factions and countless contradictions.

As a native of Yingzhou, and also the first one from Yingzhou to receive the title and status of Tianxing, he felt this very clearly.

Today's Sisu Sect's main site is busy fighting with the daimyo of Longzuo Temple, and is focused on capturing the main city of daimyo. The two generals of Longzoo Temple to the south are also attacking at this time. Xiao Xuanwu himself is not good at commanding. In the battle, we can only rely on some people who are proficient in this way to stick to it, and try to buy time for the main battlefield as much as possible.

At this time, there were two different voices inside Shijian—one was the "native" existence of Sisu Cult, that is, those original Sisu Cult members, they were extremely dissatisfied with themselves; The second is the local "newborn" Sisu Sect members. With Xiao Xuanwu's performance, they have become more and more confident, and gradually want to challenge the Central Plains people.

The two parties are like gunpowder and a fuse. Once something happens, it may explode instantly.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Xuanwu thought of a way.

In fact, the information obtained by Dasumi was somewhat wrong. After all, Xiao Xuanwu personally directed and arranged it. It was really difficult for Man Jianghong to obtain some information, and there were naturally some mistakes and omissions.

On the surface, it seems that the two parties have reached a consensus and agreed to the outside world, but in fact there is no such thing at all.

A sect like the Sisu Sect has never been able to produce the concept of "unity with the outside world". Even though it is surrounded by powerful enemies outside, and there is a Shengjin general who follows him, the leaders of the two factions still do not let each other go. The fighting caused several riots.

From Xiao Xuanwu's point of view, this is completely unreasonable—surrounded by powerful enemies, it's fine if they don't work together, but they are still fighting each other?Afraid of dying too slowly?

Therefore, through operation, Xiao Xuanwu talked with the leaders of the two parties respectively, and at the same time withheld some of the local magic Xun Buddha flowers and fruits, and presented some key figures of the two factions as extra gifts, and some who wanted to take advantage of this time in Shijian. Aristocrats and warriors who cause internal troubles.

As for the final effect, I can't say it was good, I can only say that it made even Xiao Xuanwu feel terrible.

If it was put a few years ago, when he had just become famous and was still a little swollen, and suddenly got such a thing, he would not have the confidence to quit.

Moreover, with the subsequent development, even if some nobles give money, they have to find "suffering" for themselves. The more fearful he is, the more he feels that the so-called magic buddha flower fruit is really poisonous like the devil bestowed by the devil. In general, it is something that is absolutely "against the harmony of nature".

From a personal point of view, he feels that these things should be destroyed, but this is something that Xuanwu Xingjun personally ordered to cultivate. He has no reason to stop at this time, so he can only write to Xuanwu Xingjun, saying that he hopes to stop production , because these things can not only weaken the enemy, but at the same time, it is absolutely impossible for everyone inside themselves to bear it.

But no matter what, under his gentle policy of chatting, eating, and having fun with the important figures of the two parties several times, he finally stabilized Shi Jian's internal situation.

Now, he has nothing else to do but silently hope that the battle on Izumo's side will end soon.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanwu heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside, he raised his eyebrows, and said to the little retainer: "Okay, Ah Guo, you go to practice first, and I will take you to eat grilled fish later."

"Really!?" Hearing what Xiao Xuanwu said, the little retainer immediately forgot about the Moxun Buddha flower and fruit, cheered excitedly, and then ran away quickly.

Xiao Xuanwu shook his head, walked away slowly, and returned to his residence after a while.

And here, a person has been waiting for a long time.

"His Royal Highness Wei Yueyan!" The person who came was a standard Yingzhou warrior with a few stars on his body, and he was a member of the Sisu Cult.

Xiao Xuanwu nodded to him.

"what happened?"

"It's the general address—His Royal Highness Xingjun sent someone here!"

?

Xiao Xuanwu frowned slightly, then led him away, walked to the gate of the castle tower, and saw a row of warriors leading horses.

As soon as Xiao Xuanwu went out, he was greeted with cheers like a tsunami.

He had never enjoyed such a loud cheer.

His reputation has never been very good. Many people think that he is extremely cowardly, so he was really flattered to be treated like this at first, but he did not panic and walked forward very calmly.

A warrior came up to meet him, shouted "His Royal Highness Wei Yueyan", and then quickly handed a list of messy gadgets to Xiao Xuanwu's deputy.

Xiao Xuanwu was really surprised.

Thinking back a few months ago, Tian Guixing sent him a letter in a sneaky way, but now, Xingjun sent someone to send him a bunch of things in such an open manner.

He looked at the excited and forgetful warriors, as well as the ordinary Sisu believers who were watching from the sidelines, and nodded slightly.

It seems that my "model" is indeed effective.

He himself has a clear understanding of himself. Although there should be many people who can defeat him in the entire Sisu Cult, if only referring to the Yingzhou warriors in the Sisu Cult, he is definitely ranked in the top three.

This is not some nonsense, but a real fight.

During this period of time in Sisujiao, in order to integrate into Sisujiao, he often finds people to discuss with others—after all, his strategy is unlikely to be accepted by others, but martial arts are real, and it is not a duel. You can learn something.

During this process, he fought against many Sisujiao masters, and almost all Sisujiao masters knew his martial arts. Even a master like Tianjiexing who hated Yingzhou people had to Admit that his knife skills are indeed exquisite.

pity--

Although his kendo is indeed strong, it is limited after all.

After fighting Xun Wu once, he has already determined that if it is one-on-one, he has no hope of defeating Xun Wu, because he can see many things just by fighting once.

Xun Wu's swordsmanship and swordsmanship are not inferior to his own, and he can see through the effectiveness of his Yan Fan in an instant. Although he didn't crack it on the spot, this already shows that Xun Wu's swordsmanship level is definitely not low.

Going a step further, although Xun Wu didn't come up with a way to crack his own kendo, his thinking was very clear, his head turned quickly, and he destroyed his weapon in an instant—a swordsman who lost his sword was no longer a threat, even if Xiao Xuanwu's kendo No matter how powerful it is, it is still limited to the level that requires weapons.

Even Tiansha Xing died at the hands of Xun Wu. Now that Xun Wu has returned to Dayu, he will definitely face each other again in the future, which really makes the color feel pressured.

"His Royal Highness Wei Yueyan, there is one more thing that needs to be signed by you personally." The leading warrior said.

"Oh?" Xiao Xuanwu, who was thinking about how to deal with the next situation, was awakened by the sound and looked up.

I saw that a long and narrow box was escorted out by all the warriors, and it was slowly sent to Xiao Xuanwu.

Xiao Xuanwu's heart throbbed suddenly, he gently pushed the box open, and saw the contents in the box.

It was a Nodachi three feet long, the scabbard was black, and the astrology of swallows was painted on it, which looked quite mysterious.

He slowly grabbed the scabbard, took out the Taidao, and gripped the handle.

The hilt of the knife was extremely long, about longer than two punches. He tried to draw out the long knife, and the moment the blade was exposed, cold light scattered everywhere, amazed.

The blade was too long, and the handle was too long. It was difficult to pull out the knife from the front. Xiao Xuanwu put the knife away and slowly put it behind him. Several nearby warriors immediately moved out of the way and let Xiao Xuanwu draw out the knife.

Zheng——

The long knife drew a trajectory in the air, and swung it three times in the air almost instantly, making the sound of birdsong, as if it could tear the air.

The blade is long and narrow, silvery white like snow, almost as long as a bamboo pole for drying clothes.

Xiao Xuanwu's eyes were full of splendor, and he was extremely excited.

Even he couldn't bear the mood at this moment.

He hadn't been so excited for a long time - the last time, Xuanwu Xingjun gave him a surname and recognized his swordsmanship.

"Who made this saber?" Xiao Xuanwu was extremely excited.

"This is a treasured sword made by the Longboat Clan." The samurai who delivered the knife immediately whispered, "In the Izumo generation, a famous craftsman from the Longboat Clan joined my Sisu Sect. People prepare materials and manufacture this knife specially for you. It took a full year and cost countless precious materials to forge this knife.

The famous craftsman also got the name of Xuanguang, so the name of this sword is Izumo long boat Xuanguang. "

Xiao Xuanwu couldn't help but also marveled: "It turned out...it was a famous craftsman of the Longboat Clan - did it prepare it for me a year ago?!"

Xiao Xuanwu was not excited. In fact, not only him, but also those around him who heard it were extremely excited at this moment. Even those members of the "native" Sisu Sect had to look up to Xiao Xuanwu again. Xuanwu.

There are factional disputes within the Sisu religion, and everyone in the Sisu religion has a common idol, a god-like existence-Xuanwu Xingjun.

For them, if Xuanwu Xingjun is happy, they will be happy, and if Xuanwu Xingjun is sad, they will be sad.Xiao Xuanwu was so favored by Xuanwu Xingjun, and even prepared a sword for him a year in advance, this level of love, you can no longer make these people feel "jealous", only boundless envy and reverence!

Xiao Xuanwu slowly put away the saber.

This is a genuine treasured sword, a treasured sword of the new era, a treasured sword with a soul!

Xiao Xuanwu, who was originally appreciated by Xuanwu Xingjun, has made up his mind at this time, and he will definitely be loyal to Xuanwu Xingjun, no matter how bad the Sisu Cult is, he will also be loyal to Xuanwu Xingjun!

This is the so-called - a scholar dies for his confidant.

And with this knife, he has confidence again.

Now he already has the confidence to confront Xun Wu and others head-on again!
