Until the last figure disappeared at the end of the road, military songs still echoed in the ears, making people's hearts surge and unable to calm down for a long time.

Everyone straightened up, some stared at the sky thoughtfully, some whispered to each other, some had wet eyes and covered their mouths with sobs, and some turned around and returned to Lingyun City. Amid the commotion, Fu Jingtao suddenly sensed a malicious voice.

His gaze came from the side, and he subconsciously turned his head to look. He saw only a crowd of people in a dense, dark place. How could he tell who it was?

Zhao Liu asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? Are you looking for someone?"

Fu Jingtao frowned and said, "There was a murderous intention just now. Who did it come from?"

Zhao Liu sneered and said: "Who asked you to openly show affection to Junior Sister Qin? You have stolen the heart of a peerless beauty, and there are countless love rivals who secretly hate you."

Fu Jingtao rubbed his nose and said in a low voice: "Sister, if you use me as a shield, you will offend more young talents, right?" Those children from aristocratic families who tried to get close to Zhao Liu all got bruised and swollen without exception.

Fu Jingtao, who often appeared around Zhao Liu, was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.

Zhao Liu's face turned red and he spat softly: "You little heartless fellow, are you taking advantage of me, Senior Sister? I treat you as a friend, okay? I don't know how blessed I am when I'm in the midst of blessings!"

Fu Jingtao said in a long tone: "Thanks to Senior Sister for your love!"

Zhao Liu was so ashamed that he stomped his feet and said angrily: "You are becoming more shameless and shameless, aren't you? If it weren't for the many people, look at how I would deal with you!"

Fu Jingtao didn't dare to offend her anymore, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Senior sister, when will you return to Beijing? Is your itinerary arranged properly?"

Zhao Liudao: "Finally, you have some conscience and know how to care about senior sister's movements. I am about to leave for Beijing, so you don't need to see me off."

Fu Jingtao said in astonishment: "How could it be so sudden? No news was revealed beforehand?"

Zhao Liu rolled his eyes at him and lowered his voice deliberately: "Are you stupid? I am the princess of the Song Dynasty. What if someone has evil thoughts halfway? My third brother has secretly dispatched the Tiger Wing Forbidden Army and Yuqiansi masters outside the city.

Stand by and let them escort me back to Beijing."

Her status is noble and her itinerary must be kept strictly confidential. How can she advertise it to the world like the departure of Shenwu Camp? She will leave Lingyun City quietly without disturbing anyone.

Fu Jingtao suddenly felt enlightened and said softly: "Have a safe trip."

Zhao Liu grabbed his sleeve and said with a smile: "Do you want to send me away with just four words? Good wine and good food, hurry up and serve me!"

Fu Jingtao smiled and said: "Sister, if you are willing to give me a favor, what else can you say?" Looking around, the crowd gradually dispersed. Familiar faces such as Luo Zhengyang and Huang Yunpeng were no longer visible. Only Chu Xiang and Gu Lengcui were last.

He obviously didn't want to fight for the way with the crowd.

"Senior Brother Chu!"

Fu Jingtao shouted hello and raised his hand.

Chu Xiang followed the sound, nodded with a smile, and led Gu Lengcui slowly closer.

Fu Jingtao cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Chu and Senior Sister Gu, it's rare that we meet by chance today. I would like to treat you two to a casual meal. Can you give me a favor?"

Chu Xiang's eyes turned slightly to Zhao Liu and said with a smile: "It's an honor to have dinner with Junior Sister Zhao. No matter how busy we are, we will go."

Gu Lengcui's face darkened and her brows furrowed slightly. Even a blind person could tell that she was unhappy.

Zhao Liu smiled slightly, saluted Chu Xiang and said: "I was fortunate to have my senior brother teach me swordsmanship in the Yujian Hall, and I benefited a lot from it. Zhao Liu dare not forget it. My senior brother is a well-known swordsman in the world. If you pass by the capital in the future, please be sure to know it."

Please tell me and ask junior sister to prepare some wine to entertain you."

Chu Xiang, Gu Lengcui is so smart, he immediately heard the meaning of farewell in her words, and immediately understood why Fu Jingtao suddenly invited a banquet, it was to do it for Zhao Liu. Chu Xiang smiled and said: "I said this to my junior sister.

, I want to go to the capital no matter what, to see with my own eyes this legendary and magnificent capital city, which is like a fairyland on earth!"

Zhao Liu pursed his lips and smiled: "Senior brother, please remember to bring Senior Sister Gu with you."

Gu Lengcui's face turned red with embarrassment, and the grudge in her heart was gone. She took Zhao Liu's hand and said, "If we go to the capital, we must harass our junior sister."

Zhao Liu smiled and said: "Senior sister, there are so many delicious and fun things to do in the capital, and there are countless silk shops and powder shops, which will keep you entertained."

The four of them walked slowly into the city and found a small, quiet shop to sit down. The shop was owned by a husband and wife, the husband was honest and responsible, and the wife was diligent and cheerful, and kept the shop spotless.

When the food and wine were served, everyone filled their glasses and toasted Zhao Liusan tacitly.

Zhao Liu looked at the majestic mountain peaks through the window and sighed: "Lingyun Peak is like a paradise, almost free of worldly dust, and a good place for practice. I don't know what year or month I will return here."

Chu Xiang said: "Junior sister, if you are not interested in practicing martial arts, the world outside the mountains is more suitable for you."

Zhao Liu rolled his eyes and smiled: "Senior Brother Chu is the number one disciple of the inner sect and the leader of the Xuanyuan Ten Heroes. I wonder if you are interested in serving me, the Song Dynasty?"

Chu Xiang shrugged and said: "I have no place to use my strength! After the establishment of Shenwu Camp, almost all generals were appointed by children of aristocratic families, and my position was not reserved. It seems that I can only stick to the sword and become a

A swordsman now."

If he joins the Shenwu Camp and goes to Jiang Haoyuan, where will Hu Yifei be? How could the family allow him to take this opportunity to advance to a higher level? Everyone knows the importance of military power, so the family will naturally hold on to it.

In the long run, Shenwuying's military experience and achievements will greatly enhance his personal reputation and status. Especially with the support of the Zhao and Song royal family and the network resources throughout the Forbidden Army, it is easy to win the battle for the leadership.

have an advantage.

Fu Jingtao sighed: "It is mediocre not to be envied by others. In fact, Senior Brother Chu focuses on martial arts practice and is temporarily away from the intrigues and power struggles. It is not a bad thing. Once Senior Brother has another breakthrough in martial arts, who can deliberately ignore your existence?"

Chu Xiang laughed and said: "Not being envied by others is mediocre. This is a golden saying! Life's gains and losses depend on one's mind. As long as the mind is firm, ups and downs are all dreams. I am confident that one day, I will be able to shine in Kyushu with one sword!"

"Okay! Drink a big drink for one sword to shine on Kyushu!"

Ding, the two of them clinked their full glasses together, raised their heads and drank the whole drink.

Zhao Liu smiled and raised his glass and said: "Senior Brother Chu is a great talent, and I would like to give you a toast from Little Sister Rong. Regardless of whether I will join the Song Dynasty in the future, if I encounter a foreign race that invades the Central Plains and commits crimes, I hope that I can draw my sword and kill them!" She understood.

There is a difference between the aristocratic families in Xuanyuan Clan and the poor families. We also know that Chu Xiang is deeply feared by the aristocratic families and is in a rather embarrassing situation, so there is no need to say more.

The light in Chu Xiang's eyes surged, and he said word by word: "Chu was born and raised here, how dare he forget the Yanhuang bloodline in his body? If there is an alien invasion, Chu will draw his sword to kill the enemy!"

Zhao Liu took a deep look at him, raised his glass to his lips, and did it first as a token of respect.

Chu Xiang nodded and drank another full glass.
