If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 21 A teacher for one day, a lifetime for...

Two days later, the appointment was issued, and Lu Jianxing finally got his wish. He changed into a brocade robe and a white robe, and was officially promoted to one of the [-] brocade guards.

Shen Lian was promoted to half a level, Jin Yiwei tried hundreds of households, and was promoted from the sixth level.

Ding Xiu, promoted to the first level, Jin Yiwei General Banner, seventh rank.

"Congratulations, Master Baihu!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Baihu!"

"Congratulations, Lord General!"

For a time, congratulations came one after another.

Although some people are dissatisfied, or they may be envious or jealous, but this is a matter that the Chief Assistant has personally dealt with, so you have to accept it if you don't agree.

When the crowd dispersed, Jin Yichuan had a complicated expression on his face, stepped forward and said with cupped hands: "Congratulations to the eldest brother, congratulations to the second brother, congratulations to eldest brother Ding."

Ding Xiu raised his hand and patted Jin Yichuan's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged. Work hard and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Yes!" Shen Lian responded: "Yichuan, there is currently no vacancy. If there is a vacancy for the general banner in the future, my second brother will definitely fight for you."

"Thank you brother!"

Ding Xiu added: "People feel refreshed during happy events. I'm going to treat you tonight and go to Nuanxiang Pavilion for a drink."

Lu Jianxing said politely: "Then why are you so embarrassed? If you want, I'll do it too."

"It's okay, Brother Lu, I'll invite you this time, and you'll invite me next time."

"Ok."

To say who Lu Jianxing is most grateful to now, the first one must be Ding Xiu.

His family background is average. Although he has been a royal guard for many years, he has always been honest and upright, relying solely on his salary to support his family.

On weekdays, there are inevitably some social activities, relationship management, etc., and my life has always been stretched.

Now, the hard days are finally over. The 200 taels of silver given to Zhang Ying have been returned, and almost 2000 taels of silver have been distributed during the hunt for Wei Zhongxian.

The important thing is that now I have been promoted to a hundred households, and my life is finally complete.

In the afternoon, after his shift was over, Ding Xiu returned to the small courtyard wearing a brand-new uniform of the Imperial Guard.

Ding Baiying had nothing to do and was practicing swordplay in the courtyard.

Looking at her strong figure, Ding Xiu couldn't help but stand there and admire it quietly.

In his eyes, Ding Baiying was not the kind of woman who was stunning at first sight, but the more she looked at her, the more attractive she became. She was dashing, round and beautiful, and exuded a familiar and familiar aristocratic style.

"Have you seen enough?"

Ding Baiying suddenly sheathed her knife and glanced sideways.

"No..." Ding Xiu replied quickly, then like a peacock, he spun around in a circle triumphantly: "Master, how do you like this dress?"

"Bang!" Ding Baiying curled her lips: "I can't help but Qianhu Shao squeaking in front of me."

Ding Xiu stepped forward slowly and said, "If this disciple is one day promoted to a thousand households, can Master please promise me something?"

"what's up?"

"You promise first."

Ding Baiying said angrily: "Go away and stop playing tricks with me."

"Master..."

"what happened again?"

"Disciple, please help me with a few moves. I always feel that there are flaws in your sword skills. It will be very dangerous if someone finds out."

If anyone else had said this, Ding Baiying would definitely not accept it.

As for Ding Xiu, she was equally dissatisfied.

She admitted that she couldn't beat Ding Xiu, but she didn't think it was a problem with her sword skills. It was just that she was limited by her physical constitution and her strength was not as violent as Ding Xiu's.

"You brat, have you forgotten your roots after going out for a few years? Don't forget, I taught you your sword skills."

"Because of this, the disciple knows better where the flaws of the sword technique are. Why don't we try a few moves?"

"it is good!"

Ding Baiying walked to the courtyard and held the handle of the knife with her backhand.

This is her specialty: counterattacking from behind.When she first started fighting with Shen Lian, she used this move to cut off Shen Lian's knife, and then put the knife on Shen Lian's neck.

"Master, this disciple is not asking you to compete with you to show off your strength, but because you are dedicated to your master..."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's make a move."

"it is good!"

Ding Xiu strode forward and struck with his sword.

Ding Baiying turned sideways quickly, drew the sword with her backhand, and performed the movements in one go. After all, she had practiced this move since she was a child and was extremely familiar with it.

"Clang!" A slight sound sounded in the courtyard.

This knife did hit the knife in Ding Xiu's hand, but not from the front. Just as she was swinging the knife, Ding Xiu suddenly sank, causing Ding Baiying's knife to change from cutting to cutting.

It was chipped on the side of the knife.

The blade swung, and Ding Xiu used the rebound force to gently twist the blade. With a "bang", the blade hit Ding Baiying's leg hard.

Ding Baiying trembled in pain and took a step back involuntarily.

If Ding Xiu relied on strength to suppress her before, then this time he relied entirely on skill and strength.

"Despicable, come again!"

Ding Baiying looked embarrassed and rushed forward with a knife.

"Clang clang clang..."

Several metallic sounds echoed in the courtyard.

This time, Ding Xiu did not use his strength, but his speed. After a few moves, he suddenly stepped aside and squatted down. The back of the knife brushed against Ding Baiying's calf.

Ding Baiying was so angry that she gritted her teeth and danced her knife faster.

However, Ding Xiu just dodged, and from time to time used the back or blade of the knife to scratch or pat her legs, calves, or feet.

This was not intentional teasing. If it was a life and death battle, Ding Baiying's legs would have been disabled long ago.

Obviously, Ding Baiying also realized this and finally sheathed the sword.

"do not fight……"

After saying that, he limped towards the house.

She knew that Ding Xiu had shown mercy, but even so, her legs still hurt.

Brat, let's see how I deal with you later.

"Master!"

Ding Baiying said angrily: "Don't call me master, I'm not worthy to be your master."

"What did Master say? As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a wife..."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing... I didn't mean to hurt the master just now. I just wanted to make the master aware of the flaws in the sword technique."

This time, Ding Baiying remained silent.

She did realize that if she had been her enemy just now, she might not have been able to stand up long ago.

Back in the house, Ding Baiying sat at the table and fell into deep thought.

Ding Xiu did not disturb her, and waited for her to think deeply for a long time before he said: "Master, although your sword technique is very fast, its flaws are also obvious, especially the bottom plate, which has almost no defense.

Once you encounter an opponent with a flexible body, it will be dangerous if the opponent sees a flaw. "

This time, Ding Baiying rarely refuted, turned her head and asked: "Then what solution do you have?"

"Yes, the sword technique needs to be improved and it needs to be both offensive and defensive."

"Okay, you can practice it for me when you have time."

"No problem, but I have an appointment tonight and will be going out later."

"Are you going out to have fun and have fun again?"

Ding Xiu sighed: "What can I do? There is no woman at home, and if a disciple is alone, he will inevitably feel empty, lonely, and cold..."

"boom!"

Ding Baiying gritted her teeth and slammed the table.

"Ahem, disciple, go change clothes."

Not long after, Ding Xiu changed into regular clothes and walked out leisurely.

As soon as he went out, he saw Pei Lun leaning against the courtyard wall outside, holding a cigarette pot bag in his mouth.

As soon as he saw Ding Xiu coming out, he greeted him with a playful smile: "What a coincidence, Pei happened to be passing by here..."

"Really? What a coincidence, I have something to do and can't accompany you now."

Ding Xiu turned around and left.

Pei Lun was furious and chased after him: "Hey, I won't take you like this with me, and I won't take my brothers with me to have fun."

"Then let's be clear. I just happened to pass by. Is it fake?"

Pei Lun: "Hey, go to Nuanxiang Pavilion?"

Ding Xiu smiled, raised his hand and patted Pei Lun on the shoulder: "Brother Pei is the one who knows me!"
