Wu Du walked to the pavilion and said to the messenger, "Hadamba | Ter, are you interested in some tricks?"
Duan Ling opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what happened. The two looked at each other, but the messenger in the pavilion smiled and said, "Good eyesight! I haven't touched it for a long time!"
The messenger was once a close disciple of Na Yantuo, the first swordsman in the Western Regions. In the past, Na Yantuo was pierced through his throat by a sword from Li Jianhong and died on the spot. The Yulin Sword Sect all regarded it as a great shame. For some unknown reason, the closed-door disciple Hadamba|Ter actually entered the Yuan Kingdom, and even acted as a messenger to Nanchen.
The four assassins all saw that the messenger had martial arts. However, Lord Changliu followed Mu Kuangda and didn't ask questions about the rivers and lakes. Zheng Yan lived in the South for a long time and had little contact with the Western Regions. It was not surprising that Lang Junxia was the only one from Xianbei. As for Wu Du, who was born in the Baihutang sect, he actually saw through his origin from a quaint Hetian jade hanging from the messenger's waist.
"Allow me to ask one more question." Hadamba|Ter said, "I don't know the name of Your Excellency Gao?"
"It's just that in the past, the late emperor was in front of him, an unnamed pawn." Wu Du replied.
"How did you find out my origin?" Hadamba|Ter said again.
"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Du said, "Don't you want to fight? Go home for dinner after the fight, there are so many Luo Jun
Everyone laughed again, and Cai Yan secretly said that it was fortunate that Wu Du was still there, and he had broken his identity.
Hadamba | Ter had been removed from his sword when he entered the palace, and at this time, he said with his bare hands, "Well, since today is the birthday of Your Highness, you can't see blood. "
Cai Yan ordered someone to replace the wooden sword, and the spectators in the field became nervous again. It was really boring to watch wrestling before, so it was replaced by a master competition. Take the initiative to attack the enemy.
Wu Du and Hardanba|Ter each held a wooden sword, Hardanba|Ter stared at Wu Du and said, "The martial arts of your ancestors have always been admired, but I don't know how much you have learned."
"I'm very ashamed." Wu Du's expression was cold, but he didn't feel a bit ashamed. He replied casually, "It's just a few days, and I haven't learned anything. Say, what last words did Master Yantuo pass down?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Duan Lingfang knew the origin of Hadamba|Ter, and when he was about to lean over to see the other party's appearance, he was pressed by a hand on his shoulder, but Xie You came and stood behind the two of them. Listen to the answer in the garden. Xie You gently waved his hand, motioning not to go out.
Wu Du held a wooden sword and pointed to the ground.
Hadamba|Tell held his sword in his chest, and everyone in the field held their breath.
Suddenly Wu Du turned sideways, holding wooden swords in both hands, and took a step forward. The movement was slow, but with an irresistible momentum, Hadamba|Ter took a step back, the two wooden swords never even touched, Hadamba|Ter He dragged the wooden sword backwards, and Wu Du made another move, leaving Duan Ling's line of sight.
"Okay!" I just heard everyone cheering.
Duan Ling was very anxious, but he couldn't see it. He stretched his neck and looked around. Xie You turned to his side and gave up a position for Duan Ling to come to him, just in the position where he could catch a glimpse of the two swordsmen in the field.
That is not the kung fu that Duan Ling knows! The wooden swords on both sides had not yet been handed over, and the generals had not touched them. Suddenly Hardanba|Ter stepped forward, then turned sideways, Wu Du turned around, and returned with a sword.
The swords of the two people staggered and rotated, the robes swayed, the wooden sword turned into a phantom, and the movements were getting faster and faster. Wu Du and Hadamba|Ter used the same martial arts. Vaguely, Duan Ling felt as if he had seen it somewhere, not martial arts, but another... Hu Xuan
Looking closely, the footwork and sword stance are actually similar to the Hu Xuanwu that Batu, Helianbo and others usually play!
I saw Wu Du's figure is tall and straight, wearing a black brocade robe wrapped around his chest and waist, his sword is very powerful, Hardanba|Ter is calm and calm, both of them are taking Hu Xuan steps to make moves and collect moves, very rhythmic , Hu Xuan looks wild and unrestrained on a girl, but if it is performed by a man, it becomes more masculine and has a different kind of beauty.
In another instant, the two stopped at the same time, and the wooden swords were unavoidable. They finally touched each other.
The needle fell instantly, but within a short while, Cai Yanfang applauded in surprise, and the people around him shouted hello.
Wu Du, however, stared directly at Hardanba|Ter's eyes. Hardanba|Ter's eyes were full of shock. Unexpectedly, Wu Du was at a stalemate based on his unique martial arts, and in the end there was still no winner.
After the applause stopped, Wu Dufang said, "I can't help you."
"I can't help you." Hadamba|Ter replied with a pale face.
Wu Du nodded, clasped his fist at Cai Yan again, nodded with everyone, and returned to the queue. Hadamba|Ter looked at Wu Du for a long time before returning to his position.
Cai Yan Ziruo smiled and said, "Since that's the case, this year, there is no winner or loser. I look forward to meeting Batu in the future."
After everyone said a few more words, Xie You motioned for Duan Ling and Mu Qing to go back to the corridor and wait, and the two had to leave. After a short while, the pavilion was over, and the emissaries of the Yuan people were invited out, while Cai Yan, Mu Kuangda and the four assassins passed through the corridor and went to the East Palace.
"I didn't expect that the messenger to be Hadamba|Ter." Cai Yan said to Mu Kuangda and others, "Buer Chijin sent the first master of his subordinates to come, but I don't know what the purpose is. Wu Qing, do you know him?"
"I heard that the teacher mentioned the Yantuo faction." Wu Du said, "Zhenshanhe was formerly held by the Huns, and the founding master of Baihutang took back four swords and forged them into one sword. Liangzi. There is a lesson in the door, so that we must beware of the comeback of the old enemy, so we will teach Hu Xuan swordsmanship, know ourselves and the enemy, and then we can win a hundred battles.”
Mu Kuangda said happily: "In this way, Hadamba|Terding already feels that we know his swordsmanship thoroughly, and dare not play any tricks in Jiangzhou."
"Yes." Wu Duchao Cai Yan replied simply, "I had doubts before, but I was afraid that Hadamba|Ter personally dispatched him to find Kublai Khan's sword of inheritance."
"My father took it in the hands of Okuotai back then, and I lost it after the Shangjing was broken. Now I don't know where it is. If I hold it in my hands, I have to exchange the mountains and rivers with them." Cai Yan said, "It must not be returned to Batu. ."
Mu Kuangda pondered for a moment, and then said: "After Kublai Khan's death, the sword was in the hands of the eldest son Okuotai, and now all the clans are fighting for the right of succession, and Qichi, the father of Bu'erchi and Jinbatu, must also be involved in the battle for the throne. At that time, whoever gets the sword of Kublai Khan, whose prestige will greatly increase, this time, Hadamba|Ter is probably here for this, this matter needs to be discussed in detail, why not…”
Cai Yan said happily: "The minister, please, everyone."
Cai Yan made a gesture and entered the East Palace with the civil servants to discuss matters. He looked back at the four assassins, and said to Wu Du, "Wu Qing, instead of staying in the East Palace tonight, Gu still wants to have a good talk with you later."
After saying that, Cai Yan waved to Lang Junxia again, Lang Junxia turned his ear slightly, Cai Yan whispered a few words, and Lang Junxia turned and left. Wu Du didn't answer, he just clasped his fists, Mu Kuangda, Cai Yan and others entered, and the rest temporarily dispersed.
Wu Du was very uneasy. It was almost dusk, and the fine snowflakes were fluttering in the wind. Later, the inner hall sent an order to let Wu Du go to the side hall to have a cup of hot tea to rest. After the discussion was over, someone would be sent to pass.
Outside the Imperial Garden, Duan Ling was still thinking. Batu sent such a master over, there must be some plan, otherwise ordinary messengers would be enough, and he knew that Cai Yan replaced him, grabbed such a news, whether he wanted to threaten Cai Yan Yan, what is the exchange of interests with him
If Batu exposes this matter, the imperial court is bound to be in chaos. The identity of Prince Chen needs to be exposed through the mouths of foreigners. What is the risk? Will the uncle believe it
"Where are you from?" Xie You's voice brought Duan Ling back to his senses. Duan Ling was still thinking about the past and was a little overwhelmed.
"He's my companion." Mu Qing explained, "He Wu Du is... yes... it's our family anyway."
Xie You observed Duan Ling and nodded after a while.
"Report to General." Duan Ling replied, "I am from Xunbei."
"I remembered that the Prime Minister sent Wu Du to Tongguan and brought a boy with him..." Xie You thought thoughtfully.
"Yes." Duan Ling smiled, "It's down there."
"Well..." Xie You looked at Duan Ling and seemed to want to say something, but Mu Qing felt sore feet and stood on the other side.
"Your father has gone to discuss matters. Since he has entered the palace, come with me." Xie You said to Mu Qing.
Duan Ling glanced inadvertently and saw Wu Du walking along the corridor, frowning deeply, looking for Duan Ling's whereabouts, and as soon as they met, he was displeased and said, "Didn't I let you study at home? Why did you come here rashly? already?"
Duan Ling's conditioned reflex was to hide, but Wu Du grabbed his arm with one hand, put him aside, and taught him, "This is where you can come too?!"
Muqing was immediately dumbfounded. He had brought Duan Ling into the palace just for fun, but now he bumped into a large group of people, and he might have to be scolded when he went back. Duan Ling understood in his heart, and just took this opportunity to escape, so he just stood there and didn't speak.
"Your family?" Xie You looked at Wu Du and said.
"My family." Wu Du replied coldly.
Xie You replied: "Then take it away, and I will take Muqing to see the queen."
Wu Du frowned and said to Duan Ling, "Aren't you going yet?!"
Duan Ling was busy with his promises, bowed to Xie You, Wu Du took him away, and Duan Ling was relieved.
The two turned around the corridor, Duan Ling was about to speak, but Wu Du signaled not to speak, and led him around, and when they reached a remote corridor, Fang asked Duan Ling to sit down, and then he went out first to inspect the corridor. Both sides, make sure no one is there.
The hallway was empty, and when someone came over, it was unobstructed.
"Is it cold?" Wu Duchao asked Duan Ling.
Duan Ling rubbed his hands and replied, "It's not cold, Mu Qing brought me in."
"Too rash." Wu Du replied, "What did Xie You say?"
The two sat side by side, Wu Du stretched out his palm and held Duan Ling's hand. Wu Du had just passed the kung fu and sword, and his body's internal breath flowed, his palms were very warm, and the snowflakes drifted into the corridor, and his skin was very hot. Go quickly. Duan Ling leaned on Wu Du's shoulder and whispered what happened and his guesses about Batu.
"He and your Li family have a revenge for killing a teacher." Wu Du said, "The late emperor killed Na Yantuo, I wonder if he came to avenge him."
Duan Ling remembered what his father said - that Yantuo once asked Li Jianhong to compare his sword, and was killed by Li Jianhong with a sword. If Hadamba|Ter knew his true identity, he would definitely come to seek trouble.
"Then I'll leave as soon as possible." Duan Ling said, "Go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Stay here." Wu Du replied, "That servant is discussing with the minister and the cabinet officials, and the Yuan people want to sign a contract. The palace is the safest place. I'll take you home later when I'm done. "
Duan Ling's mind was not on this, and asked, "Can you dance the Hu Xuan dance?"
"Hu Xuanwu? No." Wu Du replied in surprise.
"Then how did you learn the swordsmanship..." Duan Ling was dumbfounded, Wu Du thought about it, and explained to him that Duan Ling knew that the original founder of White Tiger Hall not only regained the sword, but also ransacked the other party's sect. The martial arts secret book was also snatched back, and there was a record of Hu Xuan swordsmanship in it.
For many years, Baihutang has always been on guard against the Yulin Sword Sect coming back to seek revenge, so he kept his mind and sword in the hall.
"Have you studied seriously?" Duan Ling asked in surprise.
"Naturally." Wu Du was restless, glanced at the end of the corridor from time to time, then looked at Duan Ling's face, and replied, "Baihutang's duty is to protect the emperor, and he has to learn a little bit. Hadanba|Ter must be warned, He must not be provocative in Jiangzhou, once he knows that someone can control his kung fu, he will not be too arrogant, otherwise he does not know what will happen, after all, this time the Yuan envoy is here to talk about frontier affairs."
Duan Lingfang knew that Wu Du had come forward to provoke Hadanba|Terer was not in a moment of anger, but led the other party to take action. In this way, the two knew each other's details. Even if Hadanba|Terer had any plans, they had to Concerned about Wu Du, he did not dare to act rashly.
"Your footwork was very similar just now." Duan Ling explained, and pulled Wu Du to get up, took a wrong step, put his left foot on his side, and taught him to dance the Hu Xuan dance.
Wu Du laughed, and waited for him to be declared into the hall, he followed Duan Ling to the side in the opposite direction, went around to the left, then went around to the right, learning how to dance the Hu Xuan dance from Duan Ling. , Duan Ling's movements were very standard, and there was still a sense of rhythm when he stepped. He hummed the song Helianbo taught him, and the two danced in the corridor.
Snowflakes were flying, Wu Du suddenly realized that someone was approaching, and hurriedly stopped, but Duan Ling couldn't avoid it. He followed Wu Du's eyes and saw Li Yanqiu walking towards the two from the end of the corridor.
The sky was dark, Lang Junxia, dressed in a white robe, swept across the long street, followed the Yuanren's motorcade to the outside of Hadanba | Tel's pavilion, turned over and entered the backyard, opened the window, entered the study, and slid the window sill. He wiped his footprints stained with snow water, hung upside-down gold hooks on the beams, and then bowed to dormant.
Hadanba|Ter brought the crowd in, leaving the reckless Amugu behind, causing the rest to retreat.
The two lowered their voices, but they did not use the Yuan language or Chinese, but the language of the third country, Khwarizimo.
Lang Junxia knelt on one knee on the wooden beam, closed his eyes, and listened with bated breath.
"If you can't get his handwriting, you can't read the handwriting." Hadamba|Ter took out two yellowed test papers and said to Amugu, "Is there any way to steal his handwriting?"
Amugu said: "The prince ordered that this prince will definitely review the memorial and leave handwriting. It is better to find an opportunity from the cabinet and steal a copy."
"Few words are not enough to prove it." Hadamba|Ter lit the lamp, Lang Junxia looked at it through the lamp, and was suddenly shocked.
The two yellowed exam papers were Duan Ling and Cai Yan's answer papers in the Biyong Hall in the past. One was stamped with Duan Ling's stamp, and the other was stamped with Cai Yan's private stamp.
