A lowly official
Bai Su
Gong Shuwu's words seemed to come from the distant sky, ethereal and light, and a little unreal. It took Bai Su a long time to react to this great news, but her expression was still dazed. Her eyes were open all the time, until they were sour.
"A lowly gentleman... Bai Su?" She had never thought that her name could be put together with these four words.
I have fantasized about it countless times.
She thought she would be so ecstatic that she would go crazy, but the moment her dream came true, she found that she was abnormally calm. She was so calm that it seemed as if this was natural.
Upon seeing this, Gong Shuwu actually felt a bit of admiration, and his mentality became more stable, so that he would not panic when he really encountered problems in the future. A brave warrior needs a strong heart.
"Bai Su, it's time to go back."
Who knows—
"Chief Gongshu, I have something else to ask."
Bai Su was calm and composed, and drew out his two swords in two swipes.
When Gong Shuwu saw this obvious act of fighting from a distance, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Bai Su, do you know what you are doing?"
A low-ranking official is, after all, just a low-ranking official.
You've just taken the first step and you're already challenging yourself
Bai Su said: "I know."
She knew that she was just trying to hit a rock with an egg, but she still wanted to see with her own eyes how high the mountain was! How much effort she would have to put in to climb it! Gong Shuwu saw the fighting spirit in her eyes and did not refuse.
It won’t take much time anyway.
Just as Gong Shuwu thought, it really doesn't take any time.
He was subdued with one move and his two swords were broken.
"Remember to report to the camp in half an hour."
Gong Shuwu had no intention of showing sympathy to women. Anyone who dared to hold two swords and point them at him was his opponent. He would not kill Bai Su, but he would not show mercy either.
This is basic respect for a brave warrior.
As for whether the blow will be too great
If she can't even stand this level of difficulty and loses the courage to go against the current and fight the wind and waves, she won't go far in the path of martial arts.
Bai Su held the broken swords and bowed her head, saying, "Yes."
"Half a step really doesn't give me any face at all." Before Gong Shuwu left, Bai Su keenly noticed a familiar breath nearby. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Gu Chi. She pursed her lips, thinking that Mr. Gu had been here for a while.
She lowered her eyelids and said, "Mr. Gu."
Seeing that she looked a little frustrated and annoyed but not discouraged, Gu Chi teased her with confidence, "Did you see it clearly?"
Bai Su looked confused.
Gu Chi reminded her: "See clearly that the mountain is high."
How big is the gap between the lowest-ranking official and the tenth-rank left minister
It was almost the same as Bai Su thought the top of the mountain was in the clouds, but she didn't know that it wasn't even halfway up the mountain, and most of the mountain was above the clouds. Wanting to climb this mountain... It takes courage.
"What?"
Bai Su was a beat slow to realize that Gu Chi was teasing her. A rare hint of embarrassment and anger appeared on her usually calm face, but she still forced herself not to show it.
In his heart, he secretly complained that this scholar was not serious. He looked like a decent, well-mannered and well-read person, but he did not want to do such a rogue thing as using the power of words to eavesdrop on the thoughts of girls.
Naturally, the tone was not very kind.
"Mr. Gu is here to watch the fun?"
Are you mocking her for overestimating her own abilities and having high aspirations? Are you laughing at a lowly official who dares to challenge a tenth-rank Zuo Shuzhang
"Of course not." Gu Chi inadvertently overheard the thoughts of several people in the camp and learned that Bai Su had been missing for several hours. He thought of looking for her, fearing that it was the remnants of the local tyrants lurking in Fugu City who did the job. It would be much easier for him to find people than Gong Shuwu.
Bai Su's expression softened when she heard this.
But he still tactfully reminded Gu Chi to be careful about his behavior.
An older unmarried young man is eavesdropping on the thoughts of a young girl of marriageable age. How is this behavior different from being a hooligan
Gu Chi: “…”
He wanted to be careful.
But the way of the literati was beyond his control.
In fact, Bai Su was the first person to bring this up to him, but he couldn't admit that he didn't use his words to eavesdrop but that it was the scholar's way that was at work, so he smiled bitterly and accepted the blame.
Fortunately, Bai Su did not dwell on this issue, and only thought about staying away from Gu Chi in the future. If Gu Chi dared to offend her in other ways, she would kill him even if it meant both of them would suffer losses. She was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied.
Gu Chi: “…”
Bai Su's facial features are heroic, and her brows are filled with undisguised ambition: "... Leader Gong Shu is indeed very strong, but - as long as there is a mountain, there is a peak. Even if I have to climb, I have to climb up. What I lack the least is time and energy!"
Starting late doesn't mean you won't reach the top.
Gu Chi was slightly surprised and couldn't help but wonder what kind of physique his master had? The young ladies he attracted were all very strong-Lin Feng, who wanted to feed the people of the world with food, Yu Zi, who wanted to take away Zhu from Zi, and Bai Su, who wanted to reach the pinnacle of martial arts with ambition.
I've seen arrogant people, but this arrogant-
Uh, he suddenly remembered.
The most arrogant one seems to be our own lord
It is true that what kind of lord you have, what kind of subordinates you have.
Gu Chi's eyebrows softened and he smiled, "Then I wish Madam Bai Su good luck in martial arts and that she gets what she wants."
The two of them went back together, one in front and one behind, keeping a distance.
Passing by a busy craftsman shop, the heat from the furnace hits you in the face - it is the spring ploughing season, and some rusty farm tools need to be reworked and hammered around. The masters and apprentices in the shop are so busy that they have no time to rest - Gu Chi paused.
Bai Su followed the line of sight.
"What's going on? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Chi remembered something.
"Do you want to reforge your sword?"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but criticize Gong Shuwu in his heart.
Just subdue him, why break his sword
Those two swords might have been passed down from someone's master.
Only then did Bai Su remember this matter.
but-
Ordinary craftsmen shops don’t have this skill.
Bai Su said: "I'll do it myself later."
Gu Chi: "Oh, come by yourself..."
After saying that, he suddenly reacted and turned to look at Bai Su, who was still slender: "You also know the skill of blacksmithing?"
Bai Su didn't understand why he had that expression.
Still nodding: "I have learned it, I know a thing or two."
Six words of understatement.
Gu Chi: “…”
He looked at the master craftsman and apprentice in the shop who were sweating and had taken off their shirts except for a thin cloth shirt. Their arm muscles were swollen and gathering strength as they swung hammers to hit the iron blocks. Then he looked at Bai Su who was dressed simply and couldn't help but fall into silence.
But Bai Su obviously didn't get what he meant.
He only said, "Generally speaking, this skill is passed down to men and not women, but there are always exceptions, right?"
Bai Su doesn't have this family tradition.
But her teacher does.
I heard from the teacher that his ancestors were a blacksmith family. They accumulated countless wealth and became famous through their skills.
However, after the thief star fell from the sky, the Wudan warriors had their own weapons that could evolve. Ordinary weapons had no advantages over them and were easily damaged. In addition, due to poor family management and problems with taking sides, they were regarded as thorns in the eyes of those in power.
Finally, they found a reason to confiscate the family property...
The building collapsed overnight.
However, in this world, even countries change so frequently, not to mention the so-called noble families. No matter how powerful a family is, it is a lamb to be slaughtered in the face of absolute power.
