"That kid Muxuan is also a little cunning. Seeing that the situation is not good, he directly said that he was unwell and ran away. It is too spineless to admit defeat like this. No wonder people say he is a 'fool'."

"There's no need to start a conflict and ask for trouble." Jie Ran sighed, "After all, the other party is not so strong. Like the former general who refused to accept, took the initiative to provoke, and finally..."

A few days ago, under the instruction of the Holy Majesty, several people who were dissatisfied with the new Hussar General had an imperial competition with him.Although those who can be generals are also among the best military generals, that person mercilessly directly and seriously injured them in front of the Holy One, and one of them even died later because of his death.

Such a fierce and decisive swordsmanship—to be honest, he really deserves to be that person.Although the Holy Majesty wanted to watch the two masters duel on the spur of the moment, but as smart as Mu Xuan, how could he not know that even a little rebellion against His Majesty's interest could not take risks and go along with it.

"It's a good thing that you weren't there at the time, and it's also a good thing that you and him don't belong to the same guard." Jie Ran looked at Yun Xing, "Otherwise, I'm really worried that something will happen to you."

"..." Yun Xing put on a dejected expression of "you don't trust me that much".

"Don't show such an expression. I didn't say how much worse you are than him... It's just that that person doesn't show much affection to his subordinates. You are too impulsive, Yun Xing, and it's really not suitable for you to be with this kind of person." Getting along with ruthless guys..."

In fact, this is also okay, Jie Ran thought to himself.Although those generals were indeed a bit tragic, now everyone else knows that that guy is indeed capable and will not take the initiative to cause trouble. Everyone can probably live a peaceful life in peace.

"Your Highness, General Hussars has sent someone to bring a message." A servant came to report suddenly.

"Huh?" Jie Ran raised his head from the pile of books on the table in front of him, a little surprised, "What's the matter?"

"Ah, General Hussars said, the Holy Majesty wanted you to evaluate his sword that time, but you suddenly came back early that day. The Holy Majesty held a martial arts performance a few days ago, and you invited him in advance because you were not used to seeing the blood. Resignation, I couldn’t stay to enjoy the sword. The Holy Majesty mentioned this matter again yesterday. The general never leaves the sword, so he specially sent someone to ask, when do you think it is appropriate, he will come over with the sword in person to show you? "

"This..." Jie Ran was a little hesitant, "I've been busy studying these books recently..."

"But this is something His Majesty cares about..."

"Hmm... ask the general if it will be okay in the evening five days later."

"yes".The servant saluted, retreated, and gently closed the door of the study.

Jie Ran picked up the book on the case again.Turning to the place I saw before, my eyes stayed for a long time, but I couldn't concentrate on the book again.

He sighed softly.Put down the book.

that guy...

"It should be remembered that Linghai has lived through the years, the solitary light shines on itself, and the liver and gallbladder are ice and snow."

"Hey, let me tell you, don't you feel tired every day with a tense face that others owe you millions?" On the embankment, Jie Ran walked lightly and deftly in front, followed by Xiao Yinruo who followed suit.

Hidden if there is no reply.As he walked, he looked around from time to time.

"Hello~" There was no reply for a long time, Jie Ran turned around abruptly, almost colliding with Yin Ruo, who was walking forward while turning her head to see the situation behind her.

"Aside from the introduction of place names that are more rigid than endorsements, don't you say anything else?"

Still no answer.

"You don't need to look around... There are no suspicious people who follow to this kind of place... The officials have either been sent back by me first, or they have been lost long ago."

Yin Ruo seemed to be taken aback for a moment, then continued to look around vigilantly.

"Really... If you don't say anything else, I'll drag you around until the end of the day after tomorrow."

"..."

"Look for the bustling crowds in markets, taverns, and teahouses to annoy you to death every day until you can't stand it anymore."

"..."

"I won't let you practice sword~"

"..." As if I couldn't bear it anymore, "Others say that the seventh son is a quiet and elegant scholar who does nothing but study and study. In the end, you don't look like an aristocratic son? You are clearly more pestering than a woman who sells flowers in the busy market. people."

"Hey~ So you can talk..." Jie Ran intentionally showed a look of surprise on his face, "You're not an idiot who can only fight."

"A man needs to have both civil and military skills." Yin Ruo felt a little insulted, "Don't think that you can look down on people after reading a few more books. A guy like you who can't even kill a chicken, can't kill a chicken. Truly idiot."

"Who said I won't?"

"Obviously it is. You can't even hold a sword steadily." Yin Ruo showed a hint of ridicule.

"Tch, I can fight without anything..." Jie Ran suddenly rushed over.

Confused for a moment, he immediately stretched out his hand to fight back.The two rich and well-dressed young masters suddenly wrestled on the embankment like a farm boy.

Although people say that the Seventh Prince does not practice martial arts, this guy is surprisingly flexible, and he can't solve it after a few moves...

Yinruo was thinking in his heart, seeing the other party hitting him with a palm again, he hurriedly dodged to the side, unexpectedly the land under his feet was on the side of the river embankment, it became hollow after a long time of river water weathering and erosion, and it suddenly caved in... …

Seeing the other party fall, Jie Ran was taken aback for a moment, and immediately jumped down too...

Fortunately, it was in the dry season.The water level has dropped to a very low level, and there is still a long stretch of dry river beach below the embankment.Relying on her long-term experience in martial arts, Yinruo found her balance in the rolling, and finally landed on the river beach at the same time as Jieran, who was jumping and sliding down, one or two steps away from the river.

Both breathed a sigh of relief.

Jie Ran came back to his senses first.Walked over, stretched out his hand, "Sorry...are you okay?"

"No need." Yinruo pushed Jieran away, stood up by herself, and was about to walk back when she suddenly remembered something and turned around: "...you, can you swim?"

"No." Jie Ran answered honestly.

"Then you just jumped off like this? What if you fell into the river?" For the first time, an expression that could be called "angry" appeared on Yin Ruo's face.

"Ah?" Looking at the other party's expression, Jie felt a little inexplicable.Turning his head to look at the edge of the river stall, he seemed to realize something suddenly - "This... I really didn't think about it..." Then I turned my head to look at Yin Ruo's serious expression, suddenly thought of something, and smiled : "Then I have to wait for Master Xiao to save me~"

"Huh?" Yin Ruo was taken aback. "You are too..."

"Hahahahahahaha... By the way, it's the first time I've seen you with such a rich expression... I don't think anyone else has seen such a powerful Master Xiao in such a mess, I have to remember it carefully..."

"..."

"Let's go, go change into clean clothes before going back."

"For this kind of thing, let's wait until we climb up first."

"...Fortunately, the embankment is not steep."

"Then I won't pull you, you can climb up by yourself." After finishing speaking, he began to walk up the embankment with a steep slope.

"...Hey, wait for me..."

After that, although she still always looked serious, Yin Ruo no longer just walked around behind Jie without saying a word.Jieran gradually began to understand the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of this young man, and Yin Ruo also recognized a seventh son who was completely different from what everyone said.

"You bastard, I think you can spend your life with a good sword." Seeing Yin Ruowi wiping the sharp weapon in his hand, Jie Ran sighed from the side.

"Just like you are addicted to books." Yin Ruo replied.

"Books are just carriers and tools. I wouldn't spend half my life on one or two books." Jie Ran replied indifferently.

"Ah, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Yin Ruo raised her head, "The only person who can make you emotionally willing to take half your life is probably only a beautiful and elegant woman, the seventh generation who takes pity and love as her own responsibility."

"Don't make me sound like a philandering dude. I just cherish those beautiful and fragile things more than ordinary people. And it's enough to be able to appreciate them, and I don't have the idea of ​​keeping everything private. It's not like you The Tiantian sword is always with me, and I am looking for better ones everywhere."

"That's the pursuit of a better realm."

"Strong words make sense."

"..."

If there is such a word as "friends" in the world, then they must have been a pair that was given by God as a model back then.

"After getting to know you, I began to feel that the relationship between people is actually a very interesting thing." Once when we sat together under a tree drinking tea and reading, Yin Ruo told Jieran.

Jie Ran smiled lightly. "Um."

At that time the breeze picked up gently.The small palm-shaped leaves swirled and slowly drifted away, one of which fell onto the table in front of them.Jie Ran stretched out his hand, gently picked up the leaf handle, held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.At a certain moment, I may really feel that if I can always be like this in the future, I often read, write and write together, go shopping in the market flower street, watch him practice swords or let him teach me who only practiced a little qigong secretly with an old monk , would be good too.

Although I may know that I will definitely return to my hometown with my father in the future, they will be separated one day after all.But I never thought that so many and so many complicated things would happen later.

It was so complicated that it couldn't be solved no matter what at the time, and even standing side by side again was an extravagant hope.
