Maybe it was the dinner we had yesterday that replenished the lost nutrients. When Lan woke up in the morning, he felt energetic. Except for the occasional pain in his right shoulder, he felt that he was feeling great now. He couldn't wait to go to Ding Jian to learn swordsmanship, so he learned darning alongside him. Yu Ji said
"Yu Ji, how about I go find Na Ding Jian and start learning first? I think I'm almost good enough."
Yu Ji glared at Lan and said, "Don't be brave. Your wound has only healed for a few days. There was still some blood when I changed the gauze for you yesterday."
"Then I'll go and watch Master Ding practice martial arts at the main office. I promise I won't train until the wound is completely healed." Lan An couldn't control her temper.
"Okay, then be careful on the way there, or you won't find the way again." Yu Ji nodded slowly, knowing that she couldn't defeat Lan, "Remember to come back early for lunch."
When Lan heard that Yu Ji agreed, just like a mother agreeing to her child going out to play, she ran out of the small house in a hurry. Go to the house where Ding Jian is temporarily staying, whom he asked about yesterday.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and soon arrived outside the door of Ding Jian's house. The sound of clanking swords could be heard inside, and there must be a lot of people practicing martial arts inside.
The wooden door was not locked. As soon as Lan opened the door, he saw Ding Jian watching several uniformly dressed swordsmen practicing basic swordsmanship with each other.
The sound of swords hitting each other prevented many people from paying attention to Lan's entrance. Ding Jian had already turned his head and looked at Lan who was excited, with a smile on his face and said
"You haven't recovered from your injury yet, why are you here so soon?" Ding Jian asked knowingly.
"Master, I can't wait to see your swordsmanship. Watch more and gain some experience next time you practice." Lan replied Ding Jian, who has now called Ding Jian his master.
Ding Jian laughed twice, then clapped his hands to signal his disciples to stop. He shouted into the house again
"Yang Ling, Long Li. You two come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, two people who were dressed differently from ordinary disciples walked out of the room. One man was about a few years older than Lan. He gave people a cold feeling. What surprised Lan even more was that the man actually had his eyes closed. Eyes. The long thin sword in his left hand seemed to be infected by the man's coldness, and it also had a hint of chill.
The other person who followed the man was a woman. Contrary to the cold man, the clothes on her body seemed to be floating around her like tulle, and her face could not be seen clearly for a while. Her weapon is a thin sword similar to Tianquan's but its length is much longer than Tianquan's.
"Yang Ling, Long Li. I have met the master." The two of them went to Ding Jian to carry their luggage, and Lan also distinguished from their voices. The cold man was called Yang Ling, and the woman was Long Li.
He turned and pointed at Lan and said, "From today on, these two people are your senior brothers and senior sisters. Their swordsmanship is already on par with mine, and you should be able to learn a lot from them."
Lan also knew some rules and hurriedly saluted his new senior brother and sister, "I've met senior brother and senior sister."
Yang Ling acted as if Lan didn't exist. Only Long Li nodded slightly, acknowledging his new junior brother. He secretly thought to himself, "Ordinary disciples can only be regarded as entry-level disciples, that is, those who practice swordsmanship with each other at the door. Now the master actually directly accepts a young man as a first-time disciple. I guess this young man must have some special skills."
Just when Lan was greeting his senior brothers and sisters in Ding Jian's house, Yu Ji heard a knock on the door.
Yu Ji was sewing one of Lan's coats when she heard a knock on the door. She thought it was Lan coming back, so she hurriedly dropped her work and ran to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Zhao Jinghao from yesterday following the door, with several servants of all kinds behind him. Yu Ji Jian was not Lan, and the smile on her face was gone. But after all, Zhao Jinghao was the lord of the city, and she lived in the house provided by him. Yu Ji could only bow and salute.
"Lord City Lord, do you need Yu's help with anything?" Yu Ji spoke of orchids, and the manner in which she spoke made Zhao Jinghao feel that his son did have good vision.
"It's nothing big, I just want to discuss something with Poppy." After Zhao Jinghao said that, he took several of his servants and a box of things and bypassed Madame Yu and walked into the house.
Originally, Yu Ji¡¯s house was not very big, with only two rooms: the inner room and the outer room. She slept in the inner room, while Lan slept in the outer room. She was immediately crowded by the group of servants.
Yu Ji brewed a pot of tea and sat in front of the city lord. Zhao Jinghao was not polite and immediately picked up the tea and took a sip. From time to time, I flirt with Yu Ji againI am deeply impressed by the craftsmanship of tea.
Zhao Jinghao took a few sips of tea and said, "To be honest, I came here today because I wanted to propose marriage to my dog."
When Yu Ji heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she didn¡¯t know how to answer.
Seeing that Yu Ji didn¡¯t answer, Zhao Jinghao spoke again. "I wonder what Yu Mei thinks? When are you willing to go see Quan Zi with me?" He did not give Yu Ji any way out.
"The revenge of the Yu family has not been avenged, and the brothers' bodies are still cold, so I'm afraid they are not suitable for marriage." Yu Ji said this, but she knew very well in her heart that this was not what she really thought. She just wanted to marry what she really wanted in her heart. The one you love.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter." The matchmaker with the red and green paint on her face suddenly spoke. Previously, Yu Ji had not even noticed that such a person had entered her house. The tacky face and weird makeup made her Yu Ji was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"We don't care about grudges here. As long as you get married and are happy, everything will be fine. Besides, if you marry the eldest son of Luo City, the entire Luo City will avenge you. "Yes. Now you just need to nod your head in agreement, and we will immediately choose a good and auspicious day to celebrate this happy event." The matchmaker seemed to have planned everything, and she made it sound like Yu Ji had gotten a big deal.
"This Yu, I'm afraid I can't agree. Because" Although Yu Ji had seen marriage proposals before, at that time, after all, her family was rich and she didn't ask for help from others. Currently, I am relying on someone else, but I don't know how to refuse at this time.
Yu Ji seemed to have made up her mind and bit her plump lips. He said, "Actually, Yu had already committed himself to someone else, and this person was Lan who saved me from An City all the way. Moreover, Yu was no longer a virgin, let alone remarried. I am afraid that he is not worthy of your son. "
Zhao Jinghao originally thought that the situation was settled, but he didn't expect that Yu Ji's words clearly rejected him completely. He also didn't expect the man who was inseparable from Yu Ji yesterday. I was at a loss for the moment. But the matchmaker on the side rolled her eyes and said
"Ouch. You must have traveled all this time without having a wedding. If you don't have a marriage, it doesn't matter. It doesn't count as a marriage. It's worthy, it's worthy."
"But" Before Yu Ji could speak. The matchmaker said again
"The man named Lan must have no status, so how can he be worthy of you, who is like a fairy? Even if he has saved your life, he is still a reckless man at most. When the time comes, I will ask the master to reward him with a house and gold. Bai Liang must be enough to repay his life-saving grace."
Dragons have reverse scales, and if you touch them, you will die. And Lan is like Yu Ji¡¯s reverse scale. She knew very well, how could Lan be the kind of person who would abandon herself for money or a house? Now that the matchmaker said this, her face suddenly darkened and she stopped talking. Instead, he looked at the little clay figurine stuck on his bronze mirror.
Zhao Jinghao thought that his words had moved his heart, and he lost his previous calmness, "Yes, yes. I will definitely reward this person well and give him an official position to ensure that he has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life."
"Humph" Zhao Jinghao's answer was not a promise, but Yu Ji's sneer. Any trace of respect she had for the city lord before was gone. She felt that the city lord at this time was really not as good as the two silly guards at the door.
"I'm sorry, Yu has committed her heart to this man. Although this man is not as talented as your husband, his sincerity is something that everyone can learn from. Yu Ji does not intend to remarry, and she hopes that the city lord will do it." Then they left. He turned around and continued to mend Lan's shabby clothes. No more talking.
Seeing that there was really no other way, Zhao Jinghao could only tell his men to put aside the betrothal gifts they had prepared before, said goodbye, and left the house. He had no choice but to go back and explain to his son. Maybe his son could do something about it. He not only frowned.
While Zhao Jinghao was proposing marriage at Yu Ji¡¯s house, Lan was watching Yang Ling and Long Li¡¯s fencing duel. The two had already become proficient in swordsmanship, and their chaotic swordsmanship meant that Lan could only judge the intensity of the sword fight through their sounds. The battle between the two became intense, and there was no hint of confusion between the two.
Long Li's long hair and clothes were fluttering in the wind like catkins during the fierce battle. With the dance of the rapier, the fierce attacker attacked Yang Ling with his eyes closed.
Although Yang Ling closed his eyes, he could easily block Long Li's rain-like attacks and fight back at the critical moment. Lan could barely see the action of drawing the sword, but he knew it very well. If it were him, I'm afraid he would have been cut into pieces.
"Gulu", along with Ding Jian's shout to stop, the two swordsmen immediately stopped their previously impressive swordsmanship, but they didn't even breathe at all.
And that Gulu is Lan¡¯s belly reminding Lan that now?It's time for lunch. When he saw that Ding Jian had also arranged for his disciples to prepare rice, he remembered his previous agreement with Yu Ji, said goodbye in a hurry, and ran back to his home.
¡°As expected, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. Those frightening swordsmanship are still vivid in my mind. Lan thought to herself that she would wait until her wound healed. You must practice well and protect Yu Ji from now on.
Of course, before practicing the sword, Lan must first fill his stomach.
