After the Chinese Yuan Dynasty, it was a rare leisurely afternoon. The autumn wind blew through the courtyard and the leaves rustled softly.

Facing the courtyard, in the practice room with wooden floors, Ning Yi was wearing shorts and was doing serious warm-up exercises with his hands on his hips.

Xigua on the other side had just returned from outside. He took a shower, tied up his hair, wore a loose and comfortable light blue top and long skirt, and sat barefoot on a chair on the side of the room.

"When I came here this time, I originally wanted to fight with Lao Ba... I mentioned Sister Zi earlier, and Boss Du said he was even more powerful... It's a pity that you sent him out on a mission..."

She retracted her right leg on the chair, hugged her knees with both hands, and talked casually while watching her majestic husband punching fiercely over there. Ning Yi ignored her chattering.

"Drink! Ha! Drink! Drink!" He jumped with quick steps and threw a few punches. Although a series of punches were weird in the past, now Xigua, Hongti and others are accustomed to it. After the warm-up was completed, everyone

Grandmaster Ning Liheng just stood still in the center of the room: "You, get up."

"Ah?" Xigua blinked and pointed at herself. After a while, she got down from her seat, jumped two steps forward, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "Oh." She waved her hands and faced

Ning Yi.

"I will have a fair competition with Ba Dao Liu Xigua." Martial arts master Ning Liheng raised his right hand and gestured towards Xigua.

"Uh..." Xigua blinked, and then raised his hand, "...I, Ba Dao Liu Xigua, will have a fair competition with the inner demon Ning Liheng."

She thought for a moment, opened her hands, and used the move "White Crane Spreads Wings".

Of course, masters rarely use White Crane to spread their wings. Grandmaster Ning Liheng was insulted.

But he was expressionless and very mature.

"Qian Laoba was sent to Jiangning by me."

"Oh." Xigua responded and nodded, "Let him take it..."

The moment he spoke, Grand Master Ning Liheng suddenly sprinted forward and kicked Xigua, who was standing on one leg, with a sweeping kick. Xigua's figure jolted, her skirt was flying in the air, and she had already somersaulted backwards? Did she land unsteadily?

Ning Yi rushed over from the front, trying to fly her away like a tiger.

Xigua stepped back? His hands grabbed the lapel of Grand Master Ning Liheng? Under the huge momentum, both of them were pulling each other and spinning? Xigua's skirt almost spread out into a lotus, whistling three turns? Grand Master

Ning Liheng rolled out with a rumble? After he had finished walking two feet, he stretched out his hand and pressed the ground to stand up. His head was a little dizzy, but he immediately adjusted his vision. He was very mature.

"You should have taken the second sweep, and you shouldn't have pounced on me."

She closed her fists and jumped.

"Afraid of hurting you." Grand Master Ning Liheng twisted his neck to both sides. "Now it's true."

"Oh." Xigua nodded? "...So, Lao Ba led the team to Jiangning, and Xiao Hei and Yuwen also went together... What are you going to do with He Wen?"

"I have no prejudice against him in the political arena. Whether he is a friend or an enemy depends on future development."

Grandmaster Ning Liheng spoke and made an offensive move? After all, he came out of the group of grandmasters, and there was no flaw in his body when he moved his posture? It showed everyone's style. Xigua made a king's fist posture, as if he was being penetrated

The first bidder.

"It's time to explore his attitude? To be honest, everyone in the army doesn't have a good impression of him. Especially when there is some kind of hero conference this time, they all want to beat him."

"I think...the black tiger is tearing out the heart!" The Grand Master was caught off guard and started to attack.

"Bastard, climb up the tree!" Xigua opened his hands and jumped suddenly, scaring his opponent back.

"Is there such a trick?"

"I couldn't go up, so I jumped." She explained.

"...What you said makes sense." Ning Yi nodded, "I thought you would prefer He Wen. After all, he is dividing the land."

"Of course I don't hate him conceptually, but I'm also a woman. It's not okay for him to take advantage of me."

"——Monkey steals peach!"

"I don't."

In the room, Grand Master Ning Liheng rushed forward, Grand Master Liu Xigua caught it with a palm and counterattacked. The two fists and kicks were very fast, and they struck each other. This time, it was no longer the black tiger who was tearing out his heart and attacking the tortoise on the tree.

It was already a highly structured fight. If the general masters in the arena were present, they would be terrified to see it, because the two masters are extremely skilled in martial arts, and they were evenly matched for a while, and it was difficult to separate them. It was a rare peak showdown.

"He Wen is developing too fast. The purpose of holding the conference is to stabilize his dominance. A lot of things will happen in it..."

"If I have the chance, I would also like to visit Jiangning. After all, it is your hometown..."

"Forget it this time, if you don't do it well, you'll have to be fooled over there... Hehe, you're pretty good at it."

"Yuwen has a gun with him, I heard. I heard that Lao Lin will go... to accept the offer."

"You, you are gasping for breath... Not only Lao Lin, all forces will send people there this time. The martial arts people are just actors on the stage, and the water on the stage is very deep. Judging from the development process of the five groups of Fair Party members, He Wenruo is stable.

Don’t stop…watch the punches!”

"...hidden."

"If it cannot be stabilized, the army will kill them in Jiangning... It is possible that monkeys will steal peaches..."

"Didn't steal it."

"Shuangyong goes to sea!"

"Monkey steals peach!"

"The black tiger takes out the heart!"

"Murder my husband - don't grab my skirt!"

"There is no trick called murdering your husband. If you make a mistake, you have to admit defeat..."

"ah……"

The two of them had a rough fist fight in the center of the hall. Then Xigua screamed, grabbed her skirt and started to run. There was a "hiss" in the room. After a while, Grand Master Ning Liheng, who was also a Grand Master,

Liu Xigua was forced into a corner and fell to the ground.

"You tear things up..." Xigua hit him with her fist.

…

Grand Master Ning Liheng won this fair competition. He was panting from exhaustion and lay on the ground. Xigua lay on the floor, opened his hands, and accepted the lesson of this failure.

"Xiao Ji's birthday will be in two days." She sighed softly, "Where do you think he has gone now?"

"...Based on that guy's personality of loving to join in the fun, maybe Lao Ba will have to meet him in Jiangning."

"I should have been asked to go. What should I do if I meet Lao Lin..."

"Lao Ba leads a group of people. They are all good players. They will not lose if we encounter them."

"You also said it might become a battlefield..."

"I mentioned it to Lao Ba. When I see the bastard, I told him to run away or just catch him..."

"I'm still worried..."

"If you care, you will be in chaos... Even on the battlefield, that guy is not incapable of survival. Don't forget that he and Brother Zheng killed many real girls during that time. He is smarter than a rabbit and will run away at the slightest sign of trouble.

…”

"A place like a battlefield...don't you worry?"

Ning Yi also turned over, and the two of them lay side by side, looking at the roof of the room, with the sun shining in from outside the door. After a while, he spoke.

"Boys always have to go out..." He thought for a moment, "It's all your fault and Hongti's fault for teaching him martial arts..."

"It's not because you told him all day long that you were a martial arts master, Zhou Tong asked you to help, and Lu Tuo was beaten to death by your palm..."

"Those are all true. I still blame you..."

The couple shirked their responsibilities and argued with each other. After a while, they waved and hit each other. Xigua laughed, turned over and climbed on top of Ning Yi. Ning Yi frowned: "What are you doing..."

"Again."

"...I won or you won." Ning Yi sighed, "You don't have martial ethics."

"If you win, it's all my fault and Sister Tizi's fault..."

The autumn wind blew through the courtyard, rustling the leaves, and their subsequent voices turned into fine murmurs, blending into the warm autumn wind.

…

On the same autumn day, more than 2,000 miles away from Chengdu, the young man the couple cared about was traveling to Tongshan County on Jinghu North Road with a group of fellow travelers.

It has been more than two months since he left Chengdu. He was still traveling with several Confucian scholars headed by "promising" Lu Wenke, "respecting gods" Fan Heng, and "cold-faced guest" Chen Junsheng, and because of Lu Wenke's relationship

Wang Jiang, Wang Xiuniang and his daughter had been traveling with them.

Living in troubled times, traveling is not easy, so it is extremely precious to be able to find a few reliable friends to go with you. Lu Wenke and others also cherish this fate. In this way, they have traveled two or three thousand miles together.

During the journey, we visited various places and observed the folk customs. After more than two months, we became more familiar with each other, and almost accumulated a feeling like a monk.

This was different from Ning Ji's fantasy about the outside world when he set out, but even in such troubled times, it seemed that there was always a relatively safe road to move forward. They had heard about bandits along the way, and had also seen relatively safe roads.

The difficult officials even saw the sails of warships heading north of the Yangtze River during their travels along the south bank of the Yangtze River - there seemed to be a war in the north - but no big disaster appeared in front of them.

, so that Ning Ji’s dream of being a martial arts hero became a little slack for a while.

Before arriving at Tongshan, they first passed through Jinghu North Road. The group visited the relatively prosperous Jiayu, Ezhou, Chibi and other places. This place has always been a place of the Fourth War. The Jurchens suffered military disasters when they came, and were later conquered by Liu.

Guangshi took it into his pocket, and after gathering the power of the wealthy gentry from all over the country and getting the "support" of the Chinese army, the prosperity of the city was restored. Now there is already a war in the north of the Yangtze River, but the atmosphere on the south bank of the Yangtze River is only slightly chilly.
