3.79 Qiying is indispensable for everything I have.

It seems that men don’t like scenes involving girls other than Jin Chai, so please hurry up~~

.....................

I don’t know how long it took, but when Zhou Yang walked to the door of the greenhouse with Zhao Qiying in his arms, he saw Zhao Yanling, surrounded by the fragrance of flowers and petals, wearing a sky-blue outfit and a four-foot sword. The sharp sword light looked particularly special against the sunlight. It was so touching that Qingwen, who was watching from the sidelines, had already opened her eyes wide, her little face full of nervousness and enthusiasm.

"Yan Ling, be careful!" But Zhao Qiying gently broke away from Zhou Yang's arms, pulled out his sword from the shelf at the door, and stepped forward with a slight scold. The deafening sound of weapons clashing immediately became a series of dense, dense sounds. The connection seemed to be a sound, but it was controlled very well. The fight between the two was controlled within a small area with a radius of less than five steps, which looked particularly dangerous.

Finally, after hundreds of moves, Zhao Yanling suddenly let out a scream and strangled the swords continuously. The sword light formed a "halo" so quickly that it actually formed an afterimage in Zhou Yang's eyes, a full five circles. After that, Zhao Qiying could no longer hold on, and the long sword was twisted into the air and fell into the flowers.

"What a move, the Seven-Star Chain. Yan Ling, you have actually mastered the Five-Star Chain. Your talent is indeed beyond comparison with mine." Zhao Qiying showed no signs of failure. She stepped forward with a smile, hugged her sister and said, "It seems that in the future, my father's mantle will be taken over." , will be handed over to you!"

"Obviously it was my sister who asked me!" Zhao Yanling said with a pout, "It's not like I don't know that my sister is much stronger, but she didn't show any performance today. Seeing that my sister fully utilized her skills in moves, like this What is the use of our victory? Is it possible that when we fight in the rivers and lakes, we still expect outsiders to give in?"

"Sister, you don't have it today." Zhao Qiying's cheeks were slightly red, and she secretly gave someone an angry look, "Besides, this strength can be improved through training, and swordsmanship talent cannot be developed overnight. Doing it today is just a preview of the future. That’s all, what else do you have to worry about?”

"Then what's going on with sister's footwork?" Zhao Yanling continued to complain, "Obviously, I was able to dodge several times, but I was half a step too slow, and then I was caught up by my little sister. If you were like you usually do, Even if I can dodge like this, I can win, but I still have to wait at least two hundred moves. How can I support this with my current physical strength?"

"Pfft--" Zhou Yang couldn't help it any longer and walked over with a big smile. Did he still know what the reason for Zhao Qiying's lack of strength and footwork was? Putting aside everything else, her I'm afraid my knees are still red. "Since Yan Ling feels that winning is impossible, why don't we compete!"

"Hee hee, this is what my brother-in-law said, not my little sister's provocation!" Zhao Yanling swung her long sword unceremoniously and made a move, and then looked very stupid and gave the long sword to her young master. Qingwen said, "You girl, you say we are good sisters. If my brother-in-law is empty-handed, wouldn't I be able to win easily?"

"The young master is the young master!" Qingwen retorted confidently.

"Hey, you just said victory was achieved without force, why don't you mention it now?" Zhou Yang pulled out the five-foot two-handed long sword used for practice, and did not forget to tease him.

"That's the eldest sister, not the brother-in-law!" Zhao Yanling's double standards were so self-righteous.

Zhou Yang didn't bother to say anything anymore. He raised his long sword and went straight towards Zhao Yanling's throat, but he didn't hold back at all. Qingwen was so frightened that she screamed. Zhao Yanling simply blocked the way and then swept across. Not only could he break through easily, he could also take advantage of the situation to counterattack. But because the long sword in his hand was a bit too short and his body only reached Zhou Yang's chin, he was easily blocked.

The two of them were going back and forth. Basically, Zhou Yang relied on his big size, long weapons and much stronger strength to repeatedly bully the female hero Zhao in front of him; Zhao Yanling used her more flexible skills and superior sword moves to defend and counterattack. From time to time, Zhou Yang was forced to rush.

But in the end, it is absolute strength that determines the outcome of the battle. After less than a hundred moves, Zhao Yanling, who was obviously unable to keep up with her physical strength, could no longer hold on. Zhou Yang easily knocked her sword away, even shocking her to take more than ten steps back. In the end, Zhao Qiying caught his body and stood firm.

"Brother-in-law uses his strength to bully others!" Zhao Yanling complained dissatisfied.

"Didn't you just say that you can't expect your enemies to give in when it comes to the arena?" Zhou Yang teased, wiping the sweat off his head, and handed the long sword to Qingwen to send away.

"You are my brother-in-law!"

"Qiying is your eldest sister!" "My swordsmanship was taught by my elder sister!"

"You are sparring with me now!"

"That's enough for you two!" Zhao Qiying put her hands on her forehead and looked at the two bickering people. Zhao Qiying felt tired, "It's going to be noon soon. Yan Ling, please clean up, we have to go back."

"But you're talking nonsense. You know it's almost noon. Is it possible that I can still let you go back hungry?" Zhou Yang glanced at Qingwen first, and then continued after the little housekeeper nodded with a pout, "Let's go to the kitchen. Lunch has been arranged, you should take a rest after eating and talk about going back!"

"Hehe, I have been thinking about the banquet at my brother-in-law's house for a long time. Sister Qingwen, let's go. If we can't fight with our hands, then we will eat him!" Zhao Yanling looked at Zhao Qiying first, and saw that she had no objection before smiling and pulling Qingwen away. People are getting ready to leave.

"Come back!" Zhou Yang stopped her angrily, "How can you eat when you're all sweaty? Why don't you go wash up and change clothes!"

"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Yanling blushed and stamped her feet. She glared at someone before being dragged to the hothouse and bath room by Qingwen. This also made Zhou Yang realize that the words he just said were obviously too personal in this era, so he had to be embarrassed. Touched his nose.

"You!" Zhao Qiying gave him a charming look, but didn't say much, pushed him away and followed him.

Zhou Yang had no choice but to go to Dongkua Courtyard, take a cold shower in his own bathroom, and put on clean clothes. Then he returned to the inner courtyard and saw three girls already sitting at the dining table, just waiting for him. The host came over to start the meal, but it was the Zhao sisters' outfits that made his eyes light up.

Neither of them lives here, so they naturally have no change of clothes. They are wearing new clothes that Dongfang Bing left here and have not worn yet. They should have been prepared by Qingwen. They are all solid colors. Although their sisters are different in age from Dongfang Bing. , but they are both women who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are all about the same size and shape.

In addition, the clothes of this era were not so close-fitting and accurate, but they were just right. Zhao Qiying was dressed in dark red, and Zhao Yanling was dressed in sky blue. If he could wear a long sword around his waist and put on a cloak, it would be a perfect match. A pair of beautiful heroine sisters.

Well, heroine, sister flower
"Okay, let's eat!" Chasing away some inappropriate thoughts, Zhou Yang gave Qingwen an appreciative look, and then sat down for dinner. There are not many dishes, such as stir-fried rapeseed, stir-fried fat intestines, and pickled vegetables The meat is added with fried egg sauce, and the two big items in the middle are stewed chicken and fish. Served with unlimited Bijing rice and old chicken soup, it is full of nutrition and taste.

"Brother-in-law, my little sister has been here several times and you have hosted such a sumptuous banquet. This is a bit expensive." While eating a mouthful of food, she still didn't forget to talk. She didn't know how Zhao Yanling did it. "Actually, we don't have to spend so much money."

"Pfft -" before she could finish her words, Qingwen couldn't help but laugh, "There's nothing extravagant. Although the young master doesn't need so many dishes on weekdays, it's just because of the two sisters that they specially added It’s just two dishes, it’s just a common meal, why should you care so much?”

"Huh?" The Zhao sisters paused at the same time, and Zhao Qiying said worriedly, "Brother Zhou, I know that you have a distinguished status, but I also know that there are many so-called 'officials' in this capital who cannot afford to eat more than a few meals of meat a year. , Although Brother Zhou has achieved fame, he only has so much money every month, so I’m afraid he will spend so much.”

"Have you forgotten which marriage I made?" Zhou Yang's answer made Zhao Qiying's eyes darken. "Now the business of Snow Brand in Beidi is actually in my hands. The name of 'Feng Year, Heavy Snow' , since you have traveled around the world for many years, you must be familiar with it, right? People who practice martial arts consume a lot of money, how can they do without meat?"

"If eldest sister and I can have such a rich meal, it would be no nonsense to add [-]% to our current strength." Zhao Yanling looked at Zhou Yang with a complicated expression, then glanced at Qingwen who didn't take it seriously at all, with a sigh. He said, "No wonder my brother-in-law is so skilled and powerful. This saying of 'poor in literature and rich in martial arts' is really not half false!"

"What are these little things worth?" Zhou Yang couldn't help but laugh, "If you want to come here more often, it's just a matter of adding another dish. Is it possible that I can't afford it? Qiying can't live without everything I have. , have you forgotten this 'husband and wife' rule?"

The Zhao sisters smiled and nodded their thanks, then looked at each other and moved away from each other with complicated eyes. The next step was naturally for the guests and the host to enjoy themselves. After everyone had a laugh after the meal, Zhou Yang arranged for Qingwen to take the two sisters to the backyard room. They took a nap until half past midnight before the two sisters said goodbye and left with a smile.

"Sister, dad has been preparing for your marriage to the young master of the Cai family these days. We originally asked Brother Zhou to help stop it today. Why didn't you say anything?" It wasn't until the horse left the inner city that Zhao Yanling asked in confusion. He said, "My little sister has seen Brother Zhou's attitude today. Is it possible that it's my eldest sister?"

"Silly girl, how could this happen?" Zhao Qiying smiled gently, slowed down and said, "I'm already like him, so how could I do something stupid? I just suddenly remembered that there is no need to trouble him anymore!"
