Women Will Only Affect the Speed of My Sword Drawing
In this world, the Central Plains was the absolute center.
East, west, north, south and north are more than 100,000 miles long.
The land was vast and fertile, so it raised hundreds of millions of people.
Cities and villages were densely dotted with stars, just like the stars in the Milky Way.
As for the imperial capitals of the Five Great Empires, they were all mega-cities with a population of more than a million.
Being able to accommodate more than a million people was enough to prove the vastness of these cities.
The capital city of the Great Ming Empire was located at the intersection of the Yan Mountain range and the northern plains. It was an excellent transportation route and also the only transportation hub from the Central Plains to the Northeast Wilderness.
To the west was the Swallow Mountain Range, and to the east was the sea.
The south occupied the northern plains, while the north guarded the only place in the northeast wasteland.
Back then, Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital from Jinling to the capital in order to guard this important road and guard the gate of the Central Plains from being invaded and plundered by the barbarians in the Northeast Wilderness.
The Son of Heaven guarded the gate of the country, and the king died for the country!!!
The Daming Empire might not be the strongest and wealthiest empire among the five great empires, but it was the empire with the most upright position and the most backbone!!!
On the outskirts of the capital, at the foot of Mount Jingshan, there was a verdant sea of bamboos.
The sea of bamboos extended from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. It was as if Kageyama was wearing a pair of green pants.
On the mountainside, a thousand-year-old temple sat in the middle of a sea of bamboos.
A gentle breeze blew.
The sound of the bamboo leaves flapping complemented the chanting of the monks in the temple.
In the backyard of the temple.
A ginkgo tree was growing luxuriously.
A stone table and two stone blocks were placed under the ginkgo tree.
At this moment, a monk and a swordsman were sitting opposite each other.
There was a teacup on the stone table.
The old monk lit a pine cone and placed it in the small stove. After the light yellow flame was ignited, he slowly placed the purple clay teapot filled with spring water on the small stove.
After a while, the spring water in the teapot was boiling.
However, the old monk did not start making tea. Instead, he cleaned the tea set.
After washing the tea set, he filled the teapot with spring water, reignited the pine cone, and placed the teapot on the stove.
He carefully took out a small clay pot. After opening the lid, he used a clamp to pick up some tea leaves from the clay pot and placed them in the teacup. After the water boiled, he used boiling water to brew it.
His movements were smooth and fluid, neither hurried nor impatient.
No matter how impatient a person was, their impetuous heart would slowly calm down when they saw it.
The swordsman sitting opposite the old monk was obviously not an impatient person. He silently watched the old monk make tea like an art.
After a while, he could already smell the faint fragrance of tea.
The old monk raised his hand and said,"Benefactor Ximen, please."”
The swordsman in white picked up the teacup and sniffed the fragrance of the tea before taking a sip. A satisfied expression appeared on his face.
The swordsman put down his teacup and squeezed out a smile on his originally expressionless face." I've long heard that Master Zhikong's tea art is the best in the world. Now that I've seen it today, it really lives up to its reputation."”
"Benefactor Ximen, you flatter me." The old monk chuckled.
This swordsman was actually one of the main characters who had recently stirred up the situation in the Great Ming Dynasty, the Sword God Ximen Chuixue.
Seeing Ximen Chuixue finish his tea, he picked up the purple clay teapot and brewed another cup of tea for him.
A gust of wind blew past, and a few gingko leaves drifted down with the wind.
Now that the underworld of the Ming Dynasty was surging, only this place could enjoy a moment of peace.
However, this peace was soon broken.
The two of them had just finished drinking a cup of tea when a burst of noisy footsteps came from outside the courtyard.
Ximen Chuixue frowned and turned to look outside the courtyard.
At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a young monk walked in with Lu Xiaofeng.
When Lu Xiaofeng entered the courtyard and saw Ximen Chuixue drinking tea with the old monk, a smile appeared on his face.
He walked over quickly and said to the swordsman,""Xiaoxi, you really know how to choose a place to hide. Do you know how hard it was for me to find you?!”
Then, he looked at the old monk and continued chattering,"" Master Zhikong, you're really biased. I've been here so many times, but you've never served me tea personally. This is Xiaoxi's first time here, and you're already making tea for him.”
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and drank the light yellow tea in one gulp.
The old monk saw that he looked like a cow chewing on a peony and quickly put his hands together. He could not bear to look at him.
"Amitabha. Every time I see benefactor drinking tea, I will break the precepts. Forget it, benefactor, please do as you please. This Penniless Monk will go to the temple hall and recite a few scriptures first.”
As he spoke, he stood up and left the courtyard with the little monk.
After the old monk left, Ximen Chuixue glanced at Lu Xiaofeng and said indifferently,""Master Zhi Kong is an outsider and doesn't know anything about the mortal world. If you have something to say, you can just say it. Why do you have to use such a crude method to chase people away?!”
Lu Xiaofeng chuckled and said," We're all rolling around in the mortal world. How can there be a real person who's not a human?"”
As he spoke, his expression became a little solemn. He continued," Xiaoxi, this matter is getting out of hand. I've always guessed that Ye Gucheng's motive for inviting you to battle isn't simple. Before you accepted the challenge, he spread the news to the entire martial arts world, causing everyone to know about it. The reason why this guy did this was not necessarily because he was afraid that you would not accept the challenge, so he wanted the fishing boat to force you to accept the challenge.”
"What does his motive have to do with me? If he wants to fight, then let's fight!" Ximen Chuixue said calmly.
He didn't say much, but every word was sharp.
The name of Sword God was indeed well-deserved.
However, Lu Xiaofeng didn't fall for his trick. He rolled his eyes and said,""You're so straightforward, but you don't know that Ye Gucheng has already dragged you down with him. Today, I went to the Imperial Palace to see the little Emperor. That damn eunuch Yu Huatian suggested to arrest both you and Ye Gucheng. He even sent the Imperial Army and the Brocade Guard to chase the Jianghu people out of the capital. If these Jianghu people don't obey, kill them without mercy.”
Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's words, Ximen Chuixue could not help but frown.
Although he had a reclusive personality and had almost no friendship with anyone other than Lu Xiaofeng, he understood the so-called Jianghu people too well. They were all a group of unruly characters.
If the imperial court really used the army to clear the area, it would definitely trigger the resistance of these people in the martial arts world.
At that time, it would definitely be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
This was an outcome that Ximen Chuixue did not want to see.
He was proud and aloof, but he wasn't someone without emotions or a murderous person. On the contrary, he had always had a chivalrous heart.
Therefore, he raised his eyelids and said softly,"Yu Huatian, this eunuch dog, deserves to be killed!"!!”
He didn't say much, but the thick killing intent made Lu Xiaofeng shudder.
Lu Xiaofeng quickly said," Don't be stupid. The little Emperor rejected Yu Huatian's request, but the little Emperor asked me to quickly investigate the truth. Moreover, he wants to see you."”
"See me?" Ximen Chuixue finally raised his head and looked at Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng waved his hand and said," He just wants to see you. If you don't want to, he won't force you."”
Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's words, Ximen Chuixue's tense expression finally relaxed a little." Hehe, this little emperor is not bad!!!”
As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the teacup on the stone table and took a sip. Then, he said,"If there's a chance, what's the harm in meeting him?!”
Lu Xiaofeng looked at his sleeve, which had a big hole in it, and couldn't help but frown. He said,""When the time comes, will you wear your tattered clothes to see the little Emperor? Xiaoxi, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you really should find yourself a woman. Look at what you're wearing!!”
"A woman?" Ximen Chuixue frowned.! What use do I have for women? Women will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword.”
Lu Xiaofeng:
Big brother!
You are my big brother!
