Chapter 105 Chapter 104 [Who knows your heart]

When Beiyan's Third Army left Tongshan City on Dongyang Road and hurriedly made a large circle to Moyang Road, Li Tianrun had gradually completed the defense of the territory recovered during this period.

Various units of the Huaizhou Army retreated to Jianghua City for rest and recuperation. Elite troops such as the Jingzhou Guangji Army, Anping Army, and Ningcheng Army rushed to Xunyang and other places respectively. At the same time, officials sent by Emperor Qi also began to station in various places. In the shortest possible time, The complete government system will be restored within a certain period of time.

As for sending some young people from the wealthy families in various places to the capital in the south of the Yangtze River, this matter is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The purpose of this is naturally to allow these young people to receive education from the Da Qi court, and it can also be regarded as a means of restriction.

Measures such as exempting taxes and providing relief to poor people were implemented simultaneously to restore the hearts and minds of the people in Jiangbei as much as possible.

With everything going on, the Governor's Mansion and the temporary Jiangbei Governor's Mansion were extremely busy. At this time, Lu Chen became extremely leisurely.

Of course, it is not quite accurate to say that he is free, because people often come to see him recently.

"Captain Lu, are you free today?"

When Li Bingxue said this, a bright smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were particularly bright.

During this period, she came over occasionally, mainly to review and discuss various details with Lu Chen from the Battle of Guangling to the present. It was obvious that she was quite interested in Lu Chen's military talent, and she had a kind of appreciation for finding similar people.

Sometimes she would invite Lu Chen to visit the city, and she would be aboveboard in everything she said and did, clearly revealing her straightforward character developed from living in the army for a long time. Just like that day in Guangling City, she invited Lu Chen to join Feiyu because she discovered his talent. The camp is so clean and tidy.

Seeing Lu Chen's hesitation, Li Bingxue immediately understood. She turned to look at Lin Xi, who looked calm, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, if you have some free time, you might as well go out for a walk together. I heard that there is a shadow puppet show in the city that is particularly good. There are no people around today. It’s nothing, why don’t we all go and relax.”

Lu Chen actually just wanted to spend more time with his senior sister, because now the war has entered a lull, and when Li Tianrun has settled the battle line, the Huaizhou Army will return from the Shuangfeng Ancient Road, and it will be the day to say goodbye to Lin Xi.

Thinking of this, he said politely: "I appreciate Captain Li's kindness, but I have to ask my senior sister about martial arts during this period. Please forgive me for Captain Li."

Li Bingxue nodded slightly when she heard this, then turned to Lin Xi and said, "Miss Lin's martial arts skills are admirable. No wonder Captain Lu has made such rapid progress."

Lin Xi said calmly: "Colonel Li's martial arts are not weak either. To be able to gain a foothold in the military with his daughter as his own body, and to command such a powerful Feiyu camp, he must be extremely talented and have done a lot of hard work."

Li Bingxue's handsome eyebrows slightly raised, and she said calmly: "Coming into battle in the army is completely different from discussing martial arts in private, but I am indeed a little curious about the mystery of Miss Lin's sword skills."

Lin Xi doesn't care much about foreign objects most of the time. She has her own set of inner calm logic.

This was when they first met, Lu Chen felt that the root of her quiet inner beauty had nothing to do with her identity or martial arts, but that she had an alienated heart under her gentle appearance.

After these few months of getting along, as their understanding of each other deepened, Lin Xi was willing to let down her guard in front of Lu Chen, but it didn't mean that she would do the same to others.

When Li Bingxue said these words, Lin Xi's tone rose slightly: "Actually, I also want to see Lieutenant Li's formation attack skills."

"Wait a minute."

Lu Chen looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Everyone has been running around on the battlefield in the past few months, and must be very tired. After finally taking a rest, why bother to use knives and guns? If you really want to learn from each other, you will still have to fight in the future. There’s a chance.”

"Junior brother, it's just a competition, you don't have to be nervous."

Lin Xi still looked at Li Bingxue, with a hint of solemnity in her eyebrows.

Li Bingxue met her direct gaze and said with a smile: "Miss Lin is right, Captain Lu doesn't need to worry."

She didn't want to compete with Lin Xi for any other reason, but because she finally met a woman of the same age who had strong martial arts skills, she naturally developed a competitive spirit without any malice.

The atrium of this house is quite spacious, barely enough for two people to spread out.

After a while, two slender women stood opposite each other in the court.

Lin Xi's height is already considered outstanding in this era. Lu Chen's previous life's calculation was close to 1.7 meters. However, Li Bingxue is slightly taller than her. Of course, it may not be possible to tell the difference at first glance.

"If Lieutenant Li feels that the weapon is not in his possession, he can have someone go back and get it."

Lin Xi held the saber in one hand and glanced at the ordinary spear in Li Bingxue's hand. She knew that the opponent's usual weapon was a horse spear. Although it was not much different from a spear, after all, it was a commonly used weapon that was more convenient.

Li Bingxue held the handle of the gun, weighed it, and said calmly: "No need, the material of this gun is pretty good."

"I say--"

Lu Chen opened his mouth to attract the attention of the two girls, and then said sincerely: "Senior sister, Lieutenant Li, keep your swords and guns in check, so as not to hurt your harmony."

Lin Xi smiled lightly and said immediately: "Captain Li, please give me some advice."

Li Bingxue raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm offended!"

She raised her right foot, then raised the spear straight. After her toes landed, she suddenly exerted force, and her body suddenly rushed forward like an arrow from the string.

Although the atrium was not cramped, it was not as wide as the battlefield. The distance between the two was less than three feet. Li Bingxue was in front of Lin Xi almost as soon as she finished speaking.

The spear comes out like a dragon, changing in all directions.

Lu Chen had seen Li Bingxue's martial arts on the battlefield. Although he had only seen it a few times, it was still a glimpse.

If Lin Xi's style is a bit elegant and unrestrained, then Li Bingxue's style is extremely pure, and strives to cause maximum damage with the simplest moves.

Outside Guangling City, countless Jingjun soldiers died under the iron sword of the horse, and most of them were killed with one blow, without any fancy feints. It can be said that the ability to reduce one force to ten can be used to the extreme.

But her first move today made Lu Chen slightly startled.

The long spear was seen shaking rapidly as it charged forward, turning into more than a dozen dazzling gun flowers, making it impossible to tell which place was her real target of attack.

Facing such a storm-like offensive, Lin Xi remained extremely calm.

The moment the gun wind hit her face, her body slid to the right like a swimming fish, and the sword in her hand still did not fire.Li Bingxue drew the gun and turned around. With the help of the inertia of twisting and exerting force, the spear suddenly accelerated again. All the gun flowers disappeared. Only the tip of the spear with a cold light rushed forward, and in an instant it came to a foot in front of Lin Xi.

In the air, there was faint wind and thunder.

Lu Chenming knew that Lin Xi had some remaining strength, but he still couldn't help but raise his heart at this moment.

The extremely harsh sound of clashing iron weapons suddenly roared. Lin Xi finally took action. The sword that killed his horse struck the tip of the spear before he could fire it. He immediately stood up and advanced instead of retreating. As he moved quickly in the air, the sword that slashed his sword made a mark in the air. Brilliant semicircle.

Lu Chen's heart was shocked. This was the last move among the Lin family's 24 swords, and it was also the most powerful move. It was completely driven by the inner sect of the Xuan Jing.

Li Bingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, he stepped on the ground with his left foot and moved half a foot to the right, raised his gun to the sky, and struck a prairie fire!
The thought of calling out was already swirling in Lu Chen's throat.

Lin Xi's eyes were full of fighting spirit in mid-air. When the sword was about to complete the semicircle, he held the tail end with his other hand and slashed it down!
The swords and guns struck each other again, and a majestic energy swept through them, causing the flowers and plants in the corner to fall to the ground in an instant.

The sound of explosions sounded one after another, a row of flower pots on the edge of the steps shattered, and the doors and windows kept swinging.

Lu Chen stood blankly, the bun on his head obviously a little crooked.

The two people in the court had already stood firm and did not continue fighting.

Although Lu Chen also became a fish in the pond, he could clearly see that Lin Xi was very steady when he landed, while Li Bingxue took half a step back.

Lin Xi's eyes were filled with admiration, and he nodded slightly and said, "Captain Li has great skills."

Li Bingxue seemed to be recalling the details just now. After hearing Lin Xi's sincere praise, a free and easy smile appeared on her cold face, and she said calmly: "I lost. Miss Lin's martial arts is much better than mine."

Lin Xi shook his head and said: "This kind of fighting in a cramped place is not your specialty. If it is on the battlefield, you may not lose."

Li Bingxue smiled and said: "If you lose, you lose. I am convinced. However, I will continue to work hard to improve myself and try to do more tricks in the future."

Lin Xi said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you at any time."

"Wait a minute, I thought we could all sit down and chat?"

Lu Chen said rather helplessly.

The two girls turned to look. Lin Xi looked at Lu Chen's crooked bun and asked curiously, "Junior brother, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, senior sister." Lu Chen quickly raised his hand to straighten himself, and then insisted: "Do you want to consider my proposal?"

"We are not fighting to the death. Regular sparring is very good for improving martial arts. Why are you nervous?" Li Bingxue said seriously, and then said to the two of them: "Today's battle will be of great benefit to me. Since you still have something to do, If you want to do it, I’ll take my leave first.”

Lin Xi did not pretend to persuade him to stay, but said to Lu Chen: "Junior brother, please send Captain Li off."

"it is good."

Lu Chen agreed.

In fact, this house is not big, and the courtyard is very deep. There are only a few steps in total.

Lu Chen and Li Bingxue were walking side by side, and the woman suddenly said: "Lu Chen, is Miss Lin leaving soon?"

"Yes."

Lu Chen didn't hide anything.

Li Bingxue turned to look at him and said calmly: "I see, thank you for being so candid. I won't come here to bother you again during this period of time."

Lu Mo remained silent.

He had a very good impression of the Li family and could not refuse a visit even out of the most basic courtesy, but he did want to spend more time with Lin Xi.

Although the senior sister never said it, he knew that she felt lonely in her heart.

Think about it, a woman has been with swords since she was a child, and when she grows up, she is always surrounded by killing and blood. I am afraid no one has ever understood whether she likes such a life.

Li Bingxue knew the reason for his silence very well, and did not deliberately expose it. She only stopped suddenly when she came to the door. Seeing that there was no one else in sight, she said calmly: "I know you may be confused these days, because of my arrival. I feel confused, but actually it’s normal to feel like this, but I feel a bit like an ignorant guest.”

Lu Chen looked into her eyes, shook his head and said, "I don't have such thoughts."

"The reason why I came here is very simple, because you don't look like a young man who has just joined the army, and my father thinks very highly of you. I am really interested in your military opinions, so I want to meet you. "

Li Bingxue said straightforwardly, then smiled and said: "Since I want to see you, I'm here."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "I know Miss Li is very talented, but she really doesn't have much free time recently."

"I understand, so I won't bother you anymore. As you said, there will always be opportunities in the future."

Li Bingxue cupped her fists and saluted, and said casually: "Goodbye."

Lu Chen returned the courtesy and said, "Okay."

Li Bingxue turned around with a big stride, turned over and jumped onto his mount, and then saw the white horse in red walking away gracefully.

Lu Chen watched her leave, then turned around and returned to the house.

When he came to the door of the study, he couldn't help but stop, and a slightly thin back appeared in his sight.

It's like being left behind and independent.
