Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 83 The best way to learn a foreign language is to use it more
Shuhu was the surname of a great swordsman in the Jin Dynasty. He was an outlier and a genius. In a place like the Jin Dynasty where swordsmanship was rare, he had studied an extremely advanced swordsmanship on his own.
This sword technique is extremely fierce, but at the same time it is continuous. It is said that he learned it by observing the desert quicksand and the corpses in the sand. People who fight with him usually feel trapped by his sword, deeply trapped in it, surrounded by endless murderous intent, but can only sink deeper and deeper, and finally be completely swallowed up.
With this set of sword skills, he was awarded the title of the best swordsman of the Jin Dynasty at a very early stage. Although he was the best swordsman, in terms of kung fu alone, there were few warriors in the entire Jin Dynasty who could rival him.
After that, his martial arts became more and more advanced, and no one knew how advanced his swordsmanship was in the end.
Even so, he always claimed to the outside world that his swordsmanship had made no progress and had been stuck in the same realm for many years.
But everyone who has seen him in action knows that this is simply a means for him to deceive others.
Yan Tingzhi knew this swordsman named Shuhu. His name was Shuhuheng, but the reason he knew him was not because of his great martial arts skills, but because he had once been an envoy of the Jin Kingdom to the Tang Kingdom, and it was at that time that Yan Tingzhi met him once.
At that time, the envoys were having a banquet, and Yan Tingzhi was in charge of assisting the palace guards. He remembered very clearly that day he and Shu Huheng looked at each other from a distance. He released a test aura, and Shu Huheng smiled and returned it to him.
Just this aura was enough to make Yan Tingzhi certain that he would not be this man's opponent, so Yan Tingzhi wrote down the name.
Yan Tingzhi also heard these stories about him from other people.
So when Yan Tingzhi saw the surname Shuhu, he immediately had some guesses.
When he learned from the letter that the woman surnamed Shuhu was also an expert in swordsmanship and her moves were dangerous, he became more certain of his guess.
The purpose of this Tiger Girl coming to the Tang Kingdom is probably not just as simple as challenging famous masters.
Maybe she was sent to test the Central Plains martial arts world.
Yan Tingzhi frowned and thought.
If this is true, then it needs to be treated with caution.
That night, he drafted a letter and sent it to the palace.
Ever since the last incident with Yin Wuli, the Emperor had obviously valued him more, and was vaguely intending to entrust more affairs of the martial arts world to him.
The next morning, Yan Tingzhi was summoned into the palace.
About six days later, a reply letter was sent to Li Si.
In the letter, Yan Tingzhi first briefly introduced the origin of the surname Shuhu, mentioned a person named Shuhuheng, and stated the possible purpose of Shuhu's visit.
Afterwards, he also explained the emperor's intention. The emperor's attitude towards this matter was that if the Kingdom of Jin wanted to test the martial arts world of the Central Plains , then let them test it. As a superior country, the Kingdom of Tang should have the bearing of a superior country, as long as they don't make a big deal out of it.
Moreover, if Shu Hu Nu was Shu Hu Heng's subordinate, then while she was testing the masters from all over the place, she was also teaching them moves, allowing them to also understand Shu Hu Heng's swordsmanship.
There is no need to hide this kind of competition, but the Jin Kingdom is behaving in a despicable manner.
As for those martial arts masters, if the tiger girl could easily detect the weaknesses of their moves, then they could not be called masters.
Therefore, Li Si only needed to take the Tiger Girl to compete with masters from all over the place, without having to think too much.
However, Yan Tingzhi reminded Li Si to pay more attention to Shu Hunu's actions while on the road, to see if she had any connection with the Jin Kingdom and whether she had any other plans.
It must be said that Yan Tingzhi is a constable after all, and his intuition in this regard is always sharper.
The reason why the Jin Kingdom sent the Tiger Girl to the Tang Kingdom was indeed not just to test the Central Plains martial arts world.
However, even Shu Hu Nu herself didn't know what their other purpose was. She only knew that she came to inquire about the news in the martial arts world.
But in fact, as long as she returns to the Kingdom of Jin, Shu Huheng, or the King of Jin, will know the answer to another question.
That is the extent to which the Tang Dynasty's court controls their martial arts world.
Can they control those gangsters and ask them to do anything?
Shu Hunu was just a chess piece they released. Shu Huheng knew Shu Hunu's character very well. She was a death warrior. As long as she participated in the World Sword Alliance, or challenged the martial artists from the Tang Kingdom, there would definitely be casualties.
Letting her go to Tang State was just to make her cause trouble.
Her martial arts skills were neither too high nor too low, just enough that an ordinary person could not defeat her, but not to the point where no one could defeat her.
What they want to see is whether those underworld people will use underworld methods to deal with Shuhu Girl, or whether they will use the rules of the court.
Will the imperial court intervene, and if so, how much can it intervene?
In other words, even if Shu Hunu did not cause any major trouble, a Jin person like her was asking around for news about people in the martial arts world and even participated in competitions among Tang swordsmen. Would the Tang court know about it? Would they intervene? Could they intervene?
If they were in charge, how many people in the underworld would listen to them?
The Jin Kingdom could see a lot from these things, and from these things, they could make a lot of decisions.
…
Two horses were walking side by side on a path.
The tiger girl was riding a horse, with her sword tied to the horse's body and a piece of dried meat in her hand that she was chewing.
Li Si was riding a horse with a helpless look on his face. He had never seen such a person who thought the journey was too slow and actually bought two horses to ride.
This is just like going on a business trip and buying a car without even driving it from home.
"Where are we going?" The tiger girl looked at Li Si and asked while eating dried meat.
Not counting the horse they bought today , they had already been walking for more than ten days. Although they had stopped and started many times, they had covered a considerable distance. She wondered why they had not arrived yet.
In fact, more than ten days is not a lot of time. The Tang Kingdom in this life is much larger than that in the previous life. If you walk, it will take two or three months to travel. Even if you use light-weight horses to travel, it will still take a long time.
But apart from anything else, Shuhu Girl's Tang language has improved a lot in recent days. Although her accent is still strong, at least she doesn't stumble all the time.
Looking at the dried meat in her hand, Li Si reluctantly took out half a piece of dry biscuit from his arms, took a bite, and said dryly.
"Valley of Flowers."
…
The figure on the road was walking slowly, and a mountain eagle flew by in the sky.
