The moonlight shines on the Tingyu Pavilion in the imperial capital, and the refreshing sound of the piano comes from the attic, rising and falling, melodious, as if telling the girl's state of mind.
Chu Huaimian stood in front of the curtain blankly, listening intoxicatedly.
He recalled in his mind the glorious wind and frost and the moonlight that he had experienced for so many years.
He couldn't help but feel emotional.
It seemed that the music of the piano could read his mind.
Caressing the softest place in my heart, to this day, all pursuits seem to have gone away.
Grandpa was killed, Chu Yao came to the imperial capital, everything is like a dream, and what is he pursuing, the pinnacle of martial arts?
He sighed softly, where is the pinnacle of martial arts?
Not long after, the sound of the piano ended.
The bead curtain slowly opened, and a maid said with a smile: "Master Chu Huaimian, my lady invites you to come in for a chat."
Chu Huaimian was flattered and nodded: "Yes" Another imperial guard on the side patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Go, go, Miss Zengxiang is willing to meet you.
This is your blessing.
To be honest, I envy you so much."
Chu Huaimian smiled awkwardly and stepped into the inner court.
He saw a beautiful girl sitting by the Yao Qin, with a pair of beautiful eyes looking deeply at him.
This was none other than Zeng Xiang, the daughter of Shenhou Zeng Yifan.
"Master Chu, please take a seat."
Zeng Xiang smiled slightly and ordered: "Show tea to Master Chu."
"yes."
The maid slowly walked over and poured a cup of tea for Chu Huaimian.
"Master Chu, what do you think of the music played by the little girl?"
Zeng Xiangliwu asked with a smile.
Chu Huaimian was a little distracted and said hurriedly: "This song can only be heard in heaven.
It is rare to hear it in the world.
Miss Zengxiang, how do you recognize me?
I am just a little forest guard."
Zeng Xiang smiled and said: "Master Chu, do you still remember the sword fighting competition three years ago?
You defeated more than ten masters in a row with your unique skill of picking up stars, and finally lost to Feng Jixing's Feng Xing sword technique.
It is such a pity.
At that time, the little girl was on the side of the stage and witnessed Mr.
Chu’s unparalleled talent. " Chu Huaimian couldn't help but blush a little: "My skills are nothing but trivial, but they are nothing compared to Miss Zengxiang's piano music."
Zeng Xiang smiled softly: "Among the elites of the imperial capital, Feng Jixing and Qin Lei are the best in martial arts, but they don't know the music.
Only Mr.
Chu is the real one.
Today, Mr.
Chu is invited I’m here just to give you some pointers on the little girl’s music.”
"Don't dare."
Chu Huaimian clasped his fists in fear and said: "How dare I teach you this little rudimentary musical tune?
I have lived in the imperial capital for so many years, and Miss Zengxiang's piano music is unparalleled.
Only Your Highness Yin's Lan Yan ballad can compare with it."
A battle between one and two.”
"Haha, it's Xiao Yin."
Zeng Xiang covered his mouth and chuckled, saying: "It's no wonder it's her.
Xiao Yin Bingxue is smart and has excellent understanding.
Her musical attainments must be above mine.

By the way, Mr.
Chu, I heard that your sister Chu Yao is already in the imperial capital."
"Yes."
Chu Huaimian said: "Miss, you asked about A Yao because..."
Zeng Xiang's eyes were a little dim: "Master Chu should also understand that the conflict between the Shenhou Mansion and the Royal Forest Guards is getting more and more intensified.
Dad and my brother are resentful of it every day.
I invite you here this time to resolve it."
One or two, let the disputes between the Shenhou Mansion, the Royal Forest Guards and the Holy Temple be settled."
Chu Huaimian's heart trembled and he asked: "I dare you to ask the young lady what she is thinking?"
Zeng Xiang sighed quietly, looked deeply at Chu Huaimian with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said: "To be honest, sir, after we said goodbye at the sword fighting competition three years ago, I have never forgotten you.
Maybe you don't know my existence at all." , But I have you in my heart.
In the past few days, my father has been forcing me to marry Xiang Yu, the commander of the gendarmerie camp.
Zeng Xiang has always known that Xiang Yu is arrogant and cruel.
If Master Chu also has Zeng Xiang in his heart, I hope you will."
After saying that, Zeng Xiang's face flushed, he stood up and made a lady's salute, and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I hope you can come to the Shenhou Mansion to propose marriage.
I am willing to stay with you forever."
Chu Huaimian trembled, joy and shock mixed together.
After a while, he clasped his fists and said, "Chu Huaimian is just a commoner.
I'm afraid his status is not worthy of a young lady."
Zeng Xiang was stunned for a moment, then sat down, with an indescribable loneliness on his face, and said: "Since you don't allow it, let's just do it over there."
The maid on the side had an indignant look on her face and said: "Master Chu, my young lady is worth a thousand dollars and I want to express my heartfelt feelings to you.
Why are you so ruthless?
Don't you have no young lady at all in your heart?
My young lady is beautiful, talented and knowledgeable."
There are only a handful of people in Lanyan City.
I remember that in the ranking of beauties in Lanyan City a year ago, my young lady ranked third.
Chu Zaize, sir, do you know?
During the emperor's hunting tour two years ago, my lady went all the way just to see you, but you didn't go.
She stood in the first snow of Lanyan City for four full hours.
A year ago, The Kingsguard contest was held to select rookies, but the lady still insisted on going.
This time she saw you, but you did not look at her.
The lady is so devoted to you, why is your lord so heartless?"
Chu Huaimian was also anxious.
In fact, Zeng Xiang's music had already completely captivated him, but this happened so suddenly that he was not even mentally prepared.
"It's not that Chu Huaimian doesn't have a young lady in his heart, it's just" Chu Huaimian knitted his eyebrows and muttered, "Lin Muyu is my brother, and he has a bad relationship with the young Marquis Zeng Fang.
If I go to the Shenhou Mansion to propose marriage at this time, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate.
Chu Huaimian doesn't want to betray the young lady.
But I don’t want to betray Lin Muyu’s brotherhood.”
These words made Zeng Xiang's face turn red.
After a long time, Zeng Xiang raised his face, smiled slightly and said: "There is no rush to propose marriage for the time being, as long as you have me in your heart."
Chu Huaimian cupped his fists and said, "I hope Miss will not blame Chu Huaimian for being abrupt.
Give me a little more time.
Chu Huaimian will not let Miss down."
Zeng Xiang smiled very sweetly, but his face was flushed with embarrassment.
He wanted to look at Chu Huaimian but didn't dare to.

He lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then said, "Then can Mr.
Chu come to meet us again tomorrow?"
Chu Huaimian was stunned: "Miss, I will be on duty tomorrow."
"When will you be free, sir?"
"the day after tomorrow" "Then let's meet here the day after tomorrow.
What do you think, sir?"
Chu Huaimian blushed, and said with some embarrassment: "Chu Huaimian was born as a commoner, and his salary as a royal guard can only be considered average.
Why don't we make an appointment at a cheaper and more affordable place next time, I'm afraid I'm a little aggrieved.
Miss."
Zeng Xiang smiled and looked at him deeply with her beautiful eyes: "Don't be wronged.
Wherever you are, it is a wonderful place in the world."
"Then Chu Huaimian returns to Zetian Palace, we can't delay for too long."
"Well, Zeng Xiang will give it to you."
In the night, Chu Huaimian and Zeng Xiang walked side by side out of Tingyu Pavilion, but they didn't know that a pair of eyes in the water pavilion were staring at them closely.
It was a thin man about 30 years old, with a trace of jealousy on his face, and said : "This bastard Chu Huaimian actually wants to eat swan meat.
How can you get your hands on my lady?
If the Lord God knows about it, he will definitely teach you that life is worse than death."
Zeng Xiang and Chu Huaimian naturally did not know that the danger was coming, and they were still immersed in the joy of falling in love for the first time.
This day is very important to both of them.
The happiest thing in the world is knowing that the person you love loves you back.
The cries of wild pheasants broke the tranquility of the night, a ray of rising sun pierced the clouds, and it was dawn.
Lin Muyu woke up from her sleep.
She had a very solid sleep.
She replenished all the physical strength she had lost during the hard training in the Tower of Babel.
She sat up and waved her arms.
She felt that her body was full of fighting energy and her physical fitness had reached its peak.
Just enough to be useful in the upcoming Eagle Guard mission.
"Sir, wake up" Wei Qiu smiled respectfully from a distance: "Linghuo Division has already prepared breakfast.
After we finish it, we can continue on our way."
"good" The Spiritual Fire Department is actually the name of the cooking camp in the imperial army, but it sounds nicer.
Five of the 50 people in the team led by Lin Muyu are responsible for burying pots to make rice, so there are only five people in the Spiritual Fire Department in this team. , but it is also very important.
After all, eating outside during the march is very important.
Breakfast was not bad, two pieces of marching pancakes, plus a bowl of broth.
This broth was made from local materials.
It was the meat of the swift wolf killed yesterday.
The meat tasted a little fishy, but it was enough to be eaten.
Not bad.
Lin Muyu finished breakfast in a few mouthfuls, clapped her hands and said, "Wei Qiu, bring over the map of Xunlong Forest."
"Yes, my lord" Unfolding the map, it was a royal map.
Each team of the Eagle Guards had one.
The details of the map were marked in great detail.
Lin Muyu reached into her arms and took out the task list, looked at it, and said with a smile: "I really don't know where to start. " Wei Qiu also smiled, pointed at the map, and said: "The autumn leaves are withering, and the fire-type spiritual beasts will begin to hibernate in the next few days.
The autumn wind is strong, and I think winter may come very early this year.
Let's go first Go to the southeast side of Xunlong Forest to look for fire-type spiritual beasts.
The rest are not in a hurry."

"Well, where are the fire-type spiritual beasts mainly concentrated?"
"The Deadwood Stone Forest area."
"Okay, Wei Qiu, you will lead the way."
"Yes, my lord" After breakfast, everyone got on their horses, put out the bonfire and set off.
The spiritual beasts encountered along the way were not very strong, and their maximum lifespan was no more than 2,000 years, so it was directly up to Wei Qiu and other Imperial Guards to deal with them.
As for the Imperial Guards, most of the Imperial Guard soldiers' cultivation levels were in the human realm.
Because, their tasks on this trip are basically transportation, shooting arrows from a distance, etc.
When they really encounter powerful spiritual beasts, they cannot directly participate in the battle because they are too easy to be killed.
Lin Muyu has already made up his mind to stay in the Eagle's Nest Camp, so these people will be his own soldiers from now on, and he cannot let them die easily, otherwise he, as a centurion, will be considered a failure.
At night, a 2400-year-old wild bear attacked the hunting team, but Lin Muyu shot him through the heart with a pear blossom gun.
He killed the 2400-year-old spirit beast with just one blow, which immediately convinced everyone.
The whole team's The centripetal force is naturally stronger.
Marching, resting, and practicing have become Lin Muyu's entire life here.
Unknowingly, three days passed, and the team finally came to a very desolate jungle.
It was in the dead wood and stone forest area.
There were traces of being burned everywhere.
Many fire-type spiritual beasts lived here, and they were also hunting 4,000-year-old fire-type beasts.
Great place for spirit beasts. s: Tomorrow Ye Zi will go back to his hometown in Huai'an to celebrate the New Year, so it's inconvenient to type.
