The Zhong family and his wife stood next to each other on the deck, and another girl sat in the cabin, looking at the two through the window, but she was in a daze.

This girl is the princess Zhu Huichan.

Women in love are always sentimental, and Zhu Huichan is no exception. Looking at Zhong Bailong and Cheng Yaozhen, she was full of envy, and she couldn't help but think about whether she could be as happy as Cheng Yaozhen in the future, and whether she would have a husband who loved her very much.

Thinking of this, her gaze immediately turned to Li Hu, who was sitting in the cabin of the ship.

Li Hu didn't notice Zhu Huichan's gaze, he was holding a piece of cloth and carefully wiping a sword.

The sword is five feet long and three inches wide, which is the "snake wing sword".

Since sneaking into the "Heavenly Punishment" more than a year ago, Li Hu has never touched this sword, this time Hua Bushi arranged for Chu Yiyi to come by boat to meet him, and specially handed over this sword to her. When Meng Huan handed the "Snake Wing Sword" to Li Hu's hand, he felt as if he had seen his long-lost brother.

For the swordsman, the sword is not only a weapon, it is born and dies together, the sword has become a part of their body, that is, the sword cultivator himself!

Therefore, Li Hu took back the "Snake Wing Sword", and for a while all his attention was on this sword, whether it was Zhong Bailong and his wife on the deck outside the window, or Zhu Huichan in the cabin, he didn't pay attention to it.

Zhu Huichan stared at Li Hu for a long time, then stood up again, and walked around twice in front of his eyes, but found that he still didn't look at her, and his little mouth couldn't help but rise high.

"Hey, Bull Demon King!" Zhu Huichan shouted.

"Hmm......" Li Hu replied casually, still not looking at her, still wiping the blade of the sword in his hand.

"Bull Demon King, I'm calling you!" Zhu Huichan's cry became louder.

Li Hu finally raised his head and looked at her suspiciously.

Zhu Huichan said: "I have something very important to ask you!"

Li Hu said: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Huichan said: "I want to ask you, was what you said true that night upstairs in the inn?"

Li Hu said: "I said a lot that day, which one are you asking?"

Zhu Huichan's face turned red and said, "That's what you said...... You only like me in your heart...... The sentence. ”

Li Hu grinned and said, "Of course it's true, but you won't let me prove it." ”

Zhu Huichan bit her lower lip and said, "If you really like me, shouldn't you listen to me?"

Li Hu said: "What do you command?"

Zhu Huichan tilted her head and thought about it, and said, "I want this sword." ”

Li Hu said: "You want a sword?"

Zhu Huichan said: "Yes, this sword of yours looks very good, I want you to give it to me now!"

Li Hu frowned and said: "This 'snake wing sword' was given to me by the stone boss, and I have killed many wicked people in my hands, you don't know how to swordsmanship, but it is useless to hold it." ”

Zhu Huichan said: "It turns out that it's called 'Snake Wing Sword', and the name is very good, anyway, I want it, are you reluctant to give it to me?"

With a flick of Li Hu's wrist, the "Snake Wing Sword" had been turned around in his hand, and the hilt of the sword was sent to Zhu Huichan.

"It's okay to give you this sword, but there is one condition. ”

Zhu Huichan reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Li Hu picked up an apple in the fruit bowl on the table, threw it into the air, and then grabbed a bamboo chopstick and threw it vigorously, with a "bang", the bamboo chopsticks had pierced the apple and nailed to the wall of the cabin.

"If you can take this sword and stab it against an apple on the wall, it will be given to you. Li Hu said.

The apple is so big, and it won't move if it's nailed to the wall, isn't it easy to stab it? Zhu Huichan secretly thought in her heart, and immediately said: "Okay, if you talk about it, I'll stab you!"

Li Hu smiled slightly and said, "I must be a word when I speak." He stood aside with his hands behind his back.

There are many things in this world that are easy to think about, but not at all to do. The "Snake Wing Sword" seems to be light and thin, but it actually weighs twenty-three catties, two taels and five dollars, and it runs freely in Li Hu's hands, and Zhu Huichan has a hard time lifting it.

She grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands, and barely lifted it, but found that the tip of the sword was hanging low, and it was easy to aim the tip of the sword at the apple on the wall, and stabbed it out, only to hear a crisp sound, and the "snake wing sword" stabbed on the wall, but it was half a foot away from the apple.

The "Snake Wing Sword" is five feet long, and it is a soft sword, if you don't know how to control the sword, it is very difficult to control it freely.

Zhu Huichan withdrew her long sword and stabbed it out again, this time a little lower, but the stab was four or five inches away from the apple. She gritted her teeth and stabbed again, but it was too tall, seven or eight inches off.

Every time the "Snake Wing Sword" is stabbed, the tip of the sword trembles and swims uncertainly, just like a snake jumping around, Zhu Huichan stabbed more than a dozen swords in a row, but not a single sword stabbed the apple, she was so tired that she was panting, her two arms were sore, and she could barely lift it.

Zhu Huichan was annoyed and unwilling, she struggled to lift the sword and stabbed straight again, but this time the tip of the sword was still out of the foot, but her forehead hit the apple headbutt.

But when I heard a "click", a big hole was broken in the wall. "Snake Wing Sword" is a sharp and incomparable blade, Zhu Huichan stabbed more than ten swords, and the wooden planks on the wall were also pierced with more than ten transparent holes, which were damaged and crumbling.

Zhu Huichan couldn't stop holding back, even people with a sword passed through the wall, the outside of the cabin was the river, and it was about to fall straight out, Li Hu grabbed it in one step, reached out and grabbed Zhu Huichan's waist and pulled Zhu Huichan back, and then copied it, and the "snake wing sword" had returned to his palm.

The apple, along with the wood chips from the broken walls, fell into the Luan River.

Li Hu smiled: "I'm talking about stabbing with a sword, not hitting with your head, even if you hit it, it doesn't count." Now that the apple has fallen into the river, you can't stab it anymore, and this sword can't be given to you!"

Zhu Huichan almost fell into the water and was shocked, and after listening to Li Hu's words, her face was flushed with anger.

"If you don't send it, you won't send it, who wants it! I know that what you said is false, and you don't love me at all!" Tears swirled in Zhu Huichan's eyes, and they were about to flow out immediately. As soon as she shook her hand and broke free from Li Hu's embrace, she rushed straight out of the door.

Li Hu didn't hold it, and Zhu Huichan had already rushed out of the hatch. His face was stunned, and he muttered to himself: "Why are you angry again? Hey, it's the princess Chitose, it's really hard to wait!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ five wooden boats traveled along the Luan River for thirty miles, and only then did they abandon the ships and land at dawn, and went north, and arrived at the Xifeng Pass of the Great Wall at noon.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there were people who traveled north, did not return for a long time, their father asked around, thousands of miles to meet, father and son met under the mountain pass, hugged each other, died of joy, and were buried here. Therefore, this valley was named "Xifengkou", and later it was called Xifengkou because of the homonym.

The terrain of Xifengkou is abrupt, the north is high and the south is low, the difference is hundreds of zhang, the pass of Lulongsai is built between the peaks and mountains on both sides, and the terrain is quite dangerous.

Lu Longsai can be regarded as a large pass in the northern area, "Bailong Xing" and a group of people from the south avenue to the road, ten miles away can see the tall pass wall made of bluestone, and the Yellow Dragon Flag of the Ming Dynasty official army on the head is fluttering with the wind. When they came closer, they saw hundreds of soldiers and horses lined up in front of the pass, apparently to welcome their arrival.

On the back of the first two horses, a green-shirted scribe with a thin face was Yang Sichang, and the black-faced and long-bearded general next to him was Lu Longai's guard Yu Jue. Behind these two men were three hundred cavalrymen, all of whom rode war horses, with bright armor and full armor, and the formation was quite neat.

On the side of these officers and soldiers, there was another team of 200 people, although the people in the team were all dressed in short shirts and strong clothes, and did not wear armor, but they were all tall, with heavy weapons such as machetes and giant axes hanging on their waists and backs, and they were much more powerful than those officers and soldiers.

These people are the main part of the Xiong family.

In front of this group of giants, Hua Bushi was wearing a robe, but he looked quite thin and weak, and the two beside him, a girl in white was Sima Rulan, and the gray-haired old man was Xiong Bailing.

As the chariot of the prince and the princess approached, Yang Sichang and Yu Jue hurriedly stepped forward to bow and salute, and the three hundred cavalry all dismounted and knelt in front of the pass.

After all these people had finished saluting, Hua Bushi stepped forward, clasped his fists and said, "Xiao Min Hua Bushi, I have seen the prince and princess two thousand years old." ”

He is not a person in the government, since he is not above the court, according to the convention, what he does is only the courtesy of the rivers and lakes.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong didn't make a move, but Zhu Huichan jumped in front of Hua Bushi in a few steps, looked him up and down with a pair of big eyes, and said, "You are the 'evil dog boy' who is greedy for money, lustful, and notorious in the rivers and lakes?"

It is true that Hua Bushi's reputation is extremely bad, but people are just talking about it behind his back, but there are few who dare to speak out in front of this eldest young master.

And he couldn't deny it when he was alive, so he had to say: "It's right down there." ”

At this time, Li Hu had already approached to see the stone boss, grabbed Zhu Huichan, and said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhu Huichan shook off Li Hu's hand, glared and said, "You Bull Demon King is not a good person, this princess doesn't want you to care!"

From the manners and words of the two, Hua Bushi had already seen something strange, and said with a smile: "Princess Chitose, has Li Hu offended you, I'll let him compensate you, okay?"

Zhu Huichan said: "The Bull Demon King is so stingy, I asked him for a sword and refused to give it, I offended this princess!"

Hua Bushi said: "Do you want that 'snake wing sword'? That sword is heavy and long, it's really not very easy to use, why don't I let someone cast a sword suitable for the princess to wear, it is sharper and more beautiful than the sword of the tiger, how about giving it to the princess Chitose?"
