Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others passed Yongdeng at dusk. They urged their horses, wanting to reach Jiangcheng Zi before dark. Just as Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others were advancing on the road, two riders suddenly came running toward them. The two riders stopped their horses a few dozen feet away from the crowd. The two riders who got off the horses held their horses and waited at the side of the road with very respectful expressions. Everyone looked closely and realized that they were two of the eight hunters under Zhao Min's command.
At this moment, Zhang Wuji, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, and the others were all shocked. What they did not expect was that Guo Wuyou had really predicted that they would see those people again. It did not take long for them to really take the initiative to come looking for them. The people from the Ming Cult and Guo Wuyou dismounted to welcome him. The two of them walked to Zhang Wuji and bowed. One of them said in a clear voice,"I admire Cult Master Zhang of the Ming Cult and Young Hero Guo for their benevolence and righteousness. You are all heroes, so I specially ordered this lowly one to invite you to my manor to rest to express my admiration.”
When Guo Wuyou heard this, he thought,""This little girl, what she said sounds nice, but I don't know what she's up to.”Guo Wuyou said politely,"I wouldn't dare! I don't dare! May I know your name? And how did you know about our situation and specially arranged for the two of you to wait here?”
That person said,"My surname is Zhao, so I dare not call you by your maiden name. As for how I know the details of everyone, please ask Cult Master Zhang and Young Hero Guo to ask me personally. I really shouldn't say too much. Please forgive me."”When Guo Wuyou and the people from the Ming Cult heard the other party admit that the youth was a woman, they felt that they were very honest.
At this time, Zhang Wuji said,"Thank you for your kind invitation. However, there are many of us. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to disturb you."”When the man heard this, he said," You are all heroes of the world. I have admired you for a long time. Now that you are lucky enough to pass by, I can invite you to a gathering and show you the hospitality of a host."”
Hearing this, Guo Wuyou thought to himself,""The place we are invited to this time is definitely filled with danger. If we all go, it might be difficult for us to escape unscathed.”Thinking of this, Guo Wuyou whispered a few words in Zhang Wuji's ear. Zhang Wuji nodded at Guo Wuyou's words. Then, Zhang Wuji whispered to Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, and the others,""Now that the other party's background is unknown, we can't all go. How about this, Brother Worriless, Grandpa, Bat King Wei, Left Emissary Yang and I will go. Uncle will lead the rest to Jiangcheng Zi and leave some marks along the way. We will catch up.”
Seeing that Zhang Wuji had already made his decision, everyone nodded and obeyed. Thus, Zhang Wuji said to that person,""Since your esteemed self is sincerely inviting us, then we will respectfully accept. It's just that I have some companions who still have things to deal with. Let the four of us come to the manor as guests.”
When that person heard this, he was instantly stunned. Then, that person thought about it and said,"In any case, four of the people the princess invited have already agreed to go, so the mission is considered completed.”After figuring this out, the person said,"Since the others still have things to do, we won't force them. It won't be too late to come back as guests if there's a chance in the future. We still have to thank Cult Master Zhang and the three heroes for gracing us with your presence.”After saying that, the two men mounted their horses and led the way. Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, Zhang Wuji, Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, and Yang Xiao followed closely behind. King Yinye led the rest of the people and rushed towards Jiangcheng Zi.
After walking for about a mile, two more people came riding in front of them. They dismounted from their horses and greeted them from afar. Guo Wuyou and Zhang Wuji realized that these two people were two of the eight people. After walking another mile or so, the remaining four of the eight also rode up to welcome them. When Guo Wuyou, Zhang Wuji, and the others saw this scene, they could not help but mutter in their hearts: "That young man is quite generous, actually putting up such a big battle formation.”
Zhang Wuji and his group followed the people in front for a while before a manor appeared in front of them. The villa was surrounded by small rivers, and both sides of the river were covered with green willows. It was indeed not easy to see such Jiangnan scenery in the Ganliang area in the northwest. When they approached, Zhang Wuji and the others saw Zhao Min already standing at the door to welcome them. There was a sign hanging above the door, and the words "Green Willow Villa" were written on it.
Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others saw the gate of the manor open. The suspension bridge had long been lowered, and Miss Zhao was still wearing men's clothes and standing at the door to welcome them. At this moment, Zhao Min stepped forward and bowed. At the same time, she said loudly,"Today, all heroes have come to Green Willow Heights. Zhang Jiao asked for instructions, Guo Shao asked for instructions, Yang Zuo asked for instructions. Elder Yin, please. Wei Bat Monarch, please." This sentence showed that Zhao Min knew the Ming Cult members and Guo Wuyou. She could casually mention the names of Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the rest without any mistakes. Everyone was shocked. "How did you know our names and titles?" Wei Yixiao asked. Do you have the ability to predict the future?”
Hearing this, Zhao Min smiled and replied,"The Ming Clan's heroes and Young Master Guo are famous throughout Jianghu. Who doesn't know? During the recent battle at Light Summit, Cult Master Zhang and Young Hero Guo had shocked the six major sects with their peerless martial arts. The news had already spread throughout the martial arts world. On your way to the Central Plains, you have been received by many martial arts friends. How can I be the only one?”When everyone heard this, they thought that it was true and kept being humble. When they asked about the names of the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow, a tall man said,"I am Zhao Yishang, this is Qian Erbai, this is Sun Sanhuo, and this is Li Sizhuo.”After saying this, Zhao Yishang pointed at the remaining four and said,""This is Friday's loss, this is Wu Liupo, and this is Wu Liupo. This was Zheng Qimie, this was the decline of the tortoise.”After Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others heard this, they were all surprised."The surnames of these eight people are arranged according to the order of Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang, but these eight people's names are not flattering. All of their names are very inauspicious, which is really unbelievable.”
Zhao Min personally led the way and led everyone into the hall. Zhang Wuji and his group followed Zhao Min to the hall. Zhang Wuji and his group saw a poem by Zhao Meng in the hall: "Flying on the white rainbow seat, roaring in the green snake box, killing frost on the edge. The sword moves the dragon outside the sky, the sword strikes the middle of the battle, the sword breaks the demon's belly, and the sword strokes the head of the crafty minister. I'm going to hide from evil spirits, don't just scare my wife. Stay under the flood dragon, do not try the dog in the street.”At the end of the poem, there was a line of small words: "The night test of the green sword is a divine item. It is a mixed record of the poem" Speaking of Sword "to praise it. Bian Liang and Zhao Min."
Guo Wuyou had been diligently learning martial arts on Peach Blossom Island for nearly twenty-five years. During this period, he had also learned the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, Qimen Dun Jia, zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and military strategy. However, compared to his great-great-grandfather, Huang Yaoshi, he was still a distance away. Although Zhang Wuji had not learned zither, chess, calligraphy and painting systematically over the years, he could not integrate martial arts into calligraphy and painting like his father, Zhang Cuishan, the " Iron Drawing and Silver Hook ". However, when Guo Wuyou and Zhang Wuji saw other people's calligraphy, they could still distinguish between good and bad. Seeing Zhao Min's handwriting, he knew that it was written by a woman. When Zhang Wuji saw this poem, he knew that the words of this poem were not obscure. So she thought to herself, So she is from the Liang family, with a single name, Min.”At this moment, Zhang Wuji said,""Lady Zhao is a talented person. It turned out that Lady Zhao was from an aristocratic family in the old capital of the Central Plains.”
When Zhao Min heard this, she smiled and said,"Cult Master Zhang's father is known as the 'Silver Hook Iron Painting'. I believe Cult Master Zhang must have received the true teachings of your father. Young Hero Guo's family knowledge is very profound and well-read.”Hearing this, Zhang Wuji said,""This one is lacking in talent and knowledge, so I did not receive my father's true teachings.”After Guo Wuyou heard Zhao Min's words, he frowned slightly. He knew that the other party had the intention to invite him and Zhang Wuji to perform. After thinking about it carefully, Guo Wuyou came up with a plan."In that case," Guo Wuyou stood up and said,"I'll make a fool of myself. Please give me a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."”
After Zhao Min heard that Guo Wuyou had agreed to perform, she ordered Zhuang Ding to prepare a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Zhuang Ding's hands and feet were also very fast. Very quickly, he brought over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. He spread them out on the table and ground the ink. Then, Guo Wuyou dipped his brush in ink and placed it on the white rice paper. In a short while, Guo Wuyou had written two poems on it.
Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng from the Ming Cult were well-read people. When Yin Tianzheng, Yang Xiao, and Zhang Wuji saw the two poems written by Guo Wuyou, they could not help but feel their blood boil. These two poems were written by Guo Wuyou himself. Yang Xiao chose the second song," Leaving the Fortress," and recited in a low voice,""The military song should sing the big sword ring, swearing to destroy the Xiongnu out of the Jade Pass. I'll die for my country on the battlefield. Why do I have to come back with my body wrapped in a horse's leather?”Meanwhile, Yin Tianzheng chose the first poem," The Song of the Young Scholars from the Army ", and recited it in a low voice,""Didn't you see that the Han army is at its end? Don't you see? Ban Dingyuan is far away, and the light cavalry of the remote area is urging the battle. A man should pay attention to dangerous behavior, how can he let a scholar's hat delay his life? Besides, the country is in danger, like eggs piled up on top of each other, and there is no pause in the war. Abandon my former pen, write my wartime pity. More than 100,000 brothers were summoned at once, singing war songs and joining the army together. Qi Congjun! Purify the dust of the Hu people, swear to sweep away the Xiongnu, regardless of their own! Forbearance, light cut off the thought of missing home, generous to hold out the heart of serving the country. He went to the battlefield with a smile, and the flag fluttered without light. The wind blew Venus into the moon, and he shot a long arrow at the wolf. Zhongqing a battle to wash away the national shame, thirteen soldiers returned to Yumen world Yang. One night, the Xiongnu's cave was smashed, and the water of the vast sea was full of color. The wolf lives at the top of Xu Mountain and raises the flag of Han Dynasty. Under the ginkgo tree, the Hu concubine is drunk. Ten thousand people lined the road to welcome him back, and flowers were thrown in front of his horse. The door lintel shines with white hair, and the hall is full of joy and pride. The history of the country marked the first merit, and China was named Changxiong from then on. I will leave behind my power to punish injustice and let the people of the world enjoy the wind of the Great Tang!”
Guo Wuyou had probably guessed that Zhao Min might be a close relative of the imperial court, so he used two poems he had created,"Leaving the Fortress" and "The Young Scholar's Song from the Army", to express his stance of overthrowing the Baoyuan and expelling the Hu Krupp. At the same time, it also implied that Guo Wuyou wanted to fulfill the lifelong wish of his great-grandparents, Guo Jing, Huang Rong, and Marshal Yue. He wanted to avenge Jingkang and restore the Central Plains. When Zhao Min saw the two poems written by Guo Wuyou, her expression instantly became very ugly. Zhao Min could only drink tea to hide the awkward expression on her face.
The manor servant had already served the tea. In the azure porcelain cup, there were tender green Longjing tea leaves floating, and the fragrance assailed the nose. Zhang Wuji and the others were secretly amazed. This place was thousands of miles away from Jiangnan, so how could there be such fresh Longjing tea leaves? Zhao Min took a sip of the tea and indicated that there was nothing in it. After Zhang Wuji and the others had finished drinking, Zhao Min said,"Everyone has come from afar. I hope you can forgive my negligence. Heroes, you must be tired from the journey. Please come here and have some food and wine.”After saying this, Zhao Min stood up and led Zhang Wuji and the others through the corridor and into a large garden.
The rocks in the garden were ancient, the stream was clear, and there were not many flowers. It looked very elegant. Zhang Wuji couldn't appreciate the wonders of the garden, but Yang Xiao and Guo Wuyou secretly nodded, thinking: "The owner of this garden isn't that vulgar, he has a big heart.”A banquet had already been prepared in the Water Pavilion. Zhao Min invited Zhang Wuji and the other five to take a seat. As Yin Liting was seriously injured, she could only follow Yin Yewang and the others to Jiangcheng Zi for the night.
Zhao Min also sat down. She poured a large glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. She said,"At this time, the Shaoxing privet wine has already been brewed for eighteen years.”Although Guo Wuyou, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Zhang Wuji, Wei Yixiao, and the others didn't know if this Lady Zhao was a chivalrous person, they were still very careful. They looked carefully at the wine pot and wine cup to see if there was anything unusual. When they saw Zhao Min drink another cup of wine, they put away their suspicions and let go of their food and drink. Originally, the Ming Cult had a rule that forbade drinking and eating meat. Later, after Zhang Wuji became the 34th cult master of the Ming Cult, he abolished this rule that forbade drinking and eating meat.
There were seven or eight daffodil-like flowers planted in the pond around the water pavilion. They were as big as daffodils, and the flowers were white in color, with a delicate fragrance. The group of heroes was very happy when they saw the fragrance of flowers in the breeze. Zhao Min's conversation was very lively. When she talked about martial arts, there were many things that even Yin Tianzheng, Wei Yixiao, and Yang Xiao did not know. She rarely acknowledged the martial arts of Shaolin Temple, Emei Sect, and Kunlun Sect. When she mentioned Zhang Sanfeng and the Wudang Seven Heroes, she held them in high esteem. She also held the heroes of Ming Cult and Guo Wuyou's ancestors in high esteem. She also praised the people from Ming Cult and Guo Wuyou's martial arts. She did not speak carelessly. Her praise and praise hit the nail on the head.? This made Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others both happy and impressed. However, when Guo Wuyou asked about Zhao Min's teacher, Zhao Min smiled and did not answer. This made Guo Wuyou doubt Zhao Min's teacher.
After a few rounds of drinking, Zhao Min would drink until her glass was dry every time. She was very bold. Zhao Min always picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks first when each dish was served. At this moment, Zhao Min looked very graceful and noble. She also had a stern expression that made people respect her and not dare to look at her directly. "Miss, where did you get this Qinglan Sword?" Guo Wuyou asked.”Hearing this, Zhao Min smiled slightly. At the same time, she untied the Qinglan Sword at her waist and placed it on the table. She said,"Ever since I met all of you, your eyes have been burning and have never left this sword. I wonder why.”
After hearing this, Guo Wuyou replied,""To tell you the truth, this sword is as famous as the Heavenly Sword. It is a sword that can cut through iron like mud. This sword was one of Cao Cao's swords back then. It was later taken by Zhao Yun from Cao Cao's subordinate Xiahou En at the Battle of Changban Slope. Now that you have the Green Melon Sword with you, it is very eye-catching.”When Zhao Min heard this, she smiled and replied,"I heard from my friends in the martial arts world that Young Hero Guo only used one move to snatch Heavenly Sword from the Emei Sect's Mistress Annihilation on the Summit of Light. At the same time, he defeated the four great sects of Shaolin, Kunlun, Huashan, and Emei, as well as Song Qingshu of Wudang Sect, all by himself. I admire you, but it's a pity that I can't be there to witness your heroic bearing.”Guo Wuyou felt a little awkward when he heard that he was being complimented by a woman. "Miss, you must be joking." Guo Wuyou said.”After saying that, Guo Wuyou picked up his wine glass and drank a glass of wine to hide his embarrassment. At this time, Zhao Min said,"I think that the Heavenly Sword of the Emei Sect is hanging on Young Master Guo's waist. The Supreme Martial Artist, Dragon Slaying Saber. He commanded the world, and no one dared to disobey him. If he relied on the heavens and did not come out, who could compete with him? I've never seen this Heavenly Sword before. I wonder if Young Hero Guo can lend it to me?”Hearing this, Guo Wuyou replied,""It is Heavenly Sword. Miss Zhao, if you want to see Heavenly Sword, please forgive me for not agreeing. Heavenly Sword is the sword of my second grandaunt, Guo Xiang. It can be said that Heavenly Sword is my family's heirloom sword, and Emei Sect belongs to my family. Miss Zhao, if you want to see Heavenly Sword, you have to agree with me and Emei Sect, so I can't lend you Heavenly Sword.”
After Zhao Min heard this, she only smiled slightly. Then, she said,"Little sister can't hold her liquor. If I continue drinking, I'm afraid it will be rude. I'll go in and change my clothes first and return in a moment.”
After saying this, Zhao Min got up and went back to her room. However, the Green Melon Sword was still on the table. Zhao Min did not take it away, and the Zhuang Ding continued to serve dishes. Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others also ate again. After waiting for a long time, Zhao Min did not return. At this time, Wei Yixiao said,"She left the sword here, so she can rest assured about us."”After saying this, Wei Yixiao picked up the Green Melon Sword that Zhao Min had placed on the table. Just as he was about to pull it out, Guo Wuyou said,""Wei Bat King, don't be anxious. Let me take a look at this Green Melon Treasure Sword.”After hearing Guo Wuyou's words, Wei Yixiao handed the Green Melon Sword to Guo Wuyou. When Guo Wuyou took the Green Melon Sword from Wei Yixiao, he already knew that this Green Melon Sword was most likely fake. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so light. Having made a judgment in his heart, Guo Wuyou said,"This Azure Melon Sword is fake. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so light.”Hearing Guo Wuyou's words, everyone was somewhat puzzled. However, Yang Xiao somewhat understood. At the same time, Zhang Wuji also understood. When Zhang Wuji saw the flowers in the pond and heard Guo Wuyou say that the Green Melon Sword was fake, he knew what these two things were.
At this moment, Yang Xiao said," Sect Master, in this subordinate's opinion, this Lady Zhao must have come prepared. If we don't go look for her, she will come looking for us."”After hearing Yang Xiao's words, everyone nodded. At this moment, Zhang Wuji said,"That's right. We have something to do at the moment, so there's no need to complicate things. What we can do now is to wait for fatigue.”
Everyone left the water pavilion and returned to the hall. They ordered the servants to inform Zhao Min that they thanked her for the banquet and took their leave. At this moment, Zhao Min walked out in a hurry. At this moment, Zhao Min had changed into a light yellow silk shirt, which made her look even more elegant. The light shone on her and Zhao Min said,"We just met, why are you leaving so soon?”Hearing this, Zhang Wuji replied,""We are all tied up with worldly affairs and do not dare to stay long. We will naturally seek advice in the future.”
Hearing this, Zhao Min smiled faintly and sent Zhang Wuji, Guo Wuyou, and the others out of the manor. The Eight Heroes of Divine Arrow stood on both sides respectfully and bowed to send them off. Zhang Wuji and the rest cupped their fists and said goodbye. Without saying a word, they galloped in the direction of Jiangcheng Zi. In the blink of an eye, they were far away from Green Willow Heights.
