In the autumn of the 89th year of the Great Xia calendar, Zhao Yu, who was still the Grand Prince of the Emperor, returned to Beijing from Jiangling City and went to the four armies to open the road. There were thousands of people everywhere. A girl Jiansheng, who was walking with Zhao Yu, was the first time she went down the mountain from Wanjian Pavilion.

On the same day, inside a flower boat on the Jinshui River, a pretty gentleman was secretly packing his luggage, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity of the crown prince returning to Beijing to elope with his lover.

But things went against my wishes. In just a few days later, on the banks of the fallen leaves on the Jinshui River, the Qing Gongren was forced to a desperate situation and jumped into the river to commit suicide.

When the Qing Gongren was dying, Jian Sheng, who happened to pass by, saved her, and then used almost all his money to redeem the Qing Gongren. This is why Zhao Yu was later curious about why Jian Sheng, who was born with a sword heart, was cheated of all his money by others.

Time flies. Nearly a year has passed, the Jinshui River is still gurgling. The bright moon above Shenjing City is still so bright, but the riverside with red leaves is now lush and full of spring.

By the Jinshui River, the two people who met again have changed a lot now.

Jiansheng is no longer the first time he went down the mountain. He has a heart of the sword and is extremely curious about everything under the mountain. The young master of Wanjian Pavilion also took off his colorful clothes and put on the coarse cloth plain clothes that are most common in Daxia folk.

Time has left a profound mark on people, whether good or bad.

Then under the moonlight, the coarse cloth woman stood up and pulled Jian Sheng slowly walked not far ahead, while a sound of joy came out:

"My benefactor, please follow me. In order to facilitate waiting for you on the riverside, I simply rented a house by the riverside, not far ahead."

After the words came to an end, Jian Sheng nodded and let the woman lead the way. Then a gentle response came out:

"I don't know what your name is yet?"

"Oh, look at me, I'm so excited that I forgot that Xue Nan, I've met my benefactor."

The woman Xue Nan is worthy of being the first brand of the flower boat. Even when she was wearing a thick coat and bent down for a blessing, she was graceful and her voice was extremely gentle and nice. Then Jian Sheng nodded and responded:

"You don't need to call my benefactor, just call him Jiansheng."

Jian Sheng said the two words with invisible sharpness, and the woman's expression was slightly stunned, and then she was still smiling and leading the way forward. After a while, a room directly leaning against Jinshui River appeared in front of her.

The house is very simple, and it does not enclose a yard with a wall, but is open and can directly follow the steps to the Jinshui River below.

In front of the house, Jiansheng met the big yellow dog again. At this time, it was shaking its tail violently at the walking woman Xue Nan, looking extremely excited.

"The owner of this house was an old couple. Later, they were old and were taken back by their sons in Shenjing City for retirement. They were very good. As long as I helped take care of this litter of puppies, I would only charge a little rent," he said.

A faint voice came from Xue Nan's mouth. Then he walked into the house, took a lamp, placed it on the table outside the house and lit it. Then he invited Jian Sheng to sit down and continued to speak:

"The surrounding conditions are simple, please forgive me."

"The environment here is quiet, far away from disputes, and the convenience is Jinshui River. It's quite good. I didn't expect that there was such a secluded place in Shenjing City."

After Jian Sheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the Jinshui River in front of him. As one of the most famous three rivers and six banks of Shenjing City, this river is naturally extremely prosperous. Therefore, Jian Sheng could even see the flower boat floating on it like stars in the distance. Then she seemed to think of something and asked softly:

"You are living alone now? If I remember correctly, after redeeming last year, you followed a young man."

As soon as this question came out, Xue Nan, a woman who walked out of the room, suddenly stopped in place. After a long time of stopping, the young woman in a coarse cloth clothes still unconsciously exuded her charm. She placed the steaming tea in front of Jian Sheng, sighed quietly, sat down and responded:

"I used to think I had found my life. To be with him, I was not even afraid of death, but he was not a good man."

After Xue Nan's words fell, Jian Sheng withdrew his gaze from the river surface, then looked at the former's pretty face, and there was a little ups and downs in his eyes. Then Xue Nan forced a smile and continued to speak:

"I'm not afraid of jokes. After my benefactor redeems for me, I always believed that he would return the money to your benefactor with the money. Because he had always told me this way, so he made an agreement with his benefactor to meet and repay the money after a few days. But after I left with him, I found that he had taken me directly from Shenjing City, and it took me half a year to leave.

"When I came back, my benefactor was gone, so I stayed by the river, thinking that one day I would meet you again."

After Xue Nan finished speaking, she took out a small purse from her arms and gently placed it on the table in front of Jian Sheng. A gentle voice continued to be heard:

"Benefactor, this is the silver I have saved in the past six months. Although it is still far from the amount of redemption, I will pay it back slowly."

The woman Xue Nan's voice was filled with relief. It was said that actors were ruthless, but compared to those hypocritical gentlemen, these women who have experienced human feelings and worldly styles know more about kindness.

Jiansheng did not raise his hand to collect the silver on the desk in front of him, because for her at this time, any money was meaningless. Then she raised her hand and held the teacup in front of her and said gently:

"You have been having a hard time these days, right?"

As soon as Jian Sheng's question came out, the woman smiled and shook her head, and responded:

"Actually, my benefactor. Although I have lived hard these days, this is the easiest time in my life. In fact, when I jumped into the Jinshui River and was rescued by my benefactor on the verge of death, I felt that everything around me became different.

"Maybe this is what is called "putting death to live". I am now looking for an errand in the Daxia Academy, and my monthly money is also very considerable."

"If you put it to death, you will live?"

The murmur sound came from Jian Sheng's mouth.

Half an hour later, under Xue Nan's farewell, Jian Sheng's figure slowly walked out of the house. About half a quarter of an hour later, she stopped in place along the Jinshui River in the moonlight, because under the moonlight in front of her, there was an extremely tall figure standing.

The figure stepped forward, and his cold and beautiful appearance gradually became clear. Then Xu Qing, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Wei, stared at Jian Sheng standing in front, with her red lips lightly opened, and her voice came out:

"Xu Jin told me about saving you. Your Majesty also knows that you have arrived in the Shenjing City. Your Majesty's Holy Order is now passed on. If you find the Linglong Sword Heart, you can go to the Baidi Palace to face the saint and continue the inheritance of the Daxia sword Taoism."

After this statement fell, Xu Qing stopped talking, but turned around and left. Then, in the shadow, a figure wearing the Si Tianjian robe walked out like a ghost, and then whispered in Xu Qing's ear:

"Sir, news came from the Gwangju Sitianjian that yesterday a man appeared in a river outside Guangju City in Gwangju. He was a young man who had been dead for half a year. According to investigations, the murderer has been locked and is not far ahead."

After finishing his speech, Xu Qing looked at the coarse cloth woman who was squatting down and stroking the big yellow dog, and remained silent for a long time.
