Chapter 017 Martial Arts Recruitment
After a whole night of ideological struggle, Nalanzhen directly broke into Lin Zimo's government office. Originally concentrating on his official affairs, he had to raise his head by this sudden sound. Lin Zimo saw her unhappy face, and there was a faint resentment between her eyebrows, and Wang Qiang, Wang Xiaoliu and Ji bald head on duty followed behind her. They are vigilant to grasp the scabbard with their left hand and touch the handle of the knife with their right hand, and can pull the knife out of the sheath at any time.
Lin Zimo, who slowly put down the brush in his hand and leaned his back on the chair, said calmly, "Miss Nalan, what's the matter with coming to me this early morning?"
Naranzhen, who was not crooked, took off the short knife at his waist and said straight, "Dad insists on marrying me to you. Although he thought you were so good, I didn't see that you were so good at all. If you want to marry me, it's not that you can't. However, you have to win this knife in my hand first.
Seeing that the steel knife of Wang Qiang and others had emerged from the scabbard, Lin Zimo, who was first signaled them not to be too nervous, and then joked, "Are you going to compete in martial arts?"
Naranzhen, who didn't hear that he was joking at all, said seriously, "I know you are a scholar and don't bully you. As long as you catch my three moves, you win. Finally, what I want to say to you is that this sword is eyeless, but you have to think about it carefully. After all, it is inevitable that there will be casualties in the process of our moves.
I could hear that what she said was half true and half scared herself. Lin Zimo stood up slowly and didn't do too much. She smiled and said, "Okay, I promise you. After three moves, if you lose, you can't t lose your promise.
The arrogant Nalanzhen believed that he was a civil official with no power to bind chickens and vowed, "Don't worry, we Qiang people are the most trustworthy. I swear in the name of Nalan's ancestors that if you Lin Zimo can catch my three tricks, you will win, and I will marry into your family according to the promised. Once you lose, or get hurt, disabled or die, all this has nothing to do with my Nalanzhen and our tribe. Do you agree?"
Lin Zimo, who came over to face him, promised and said, "I agree. I will write down the documents of life and death as proof.
"Very good. In an hour, I will wait for you to come alone in the plain sand outside the city. After saying that, Nalanzhen was no longer cold-faced, showed a proud smile, and then turned around and strode away.
Seeing her smile, Lin Zimo judged that she thought she was just hard-mouthed and did not have the courage to come alone. Or fooled by her. He believes that he is a complete loser in Nalan's eyes and heart. Since a foreign girl came to her office proudly and named her name to challenge, she had to take it. After all, he felt that this little girl was too eager to force people into the corner of the wall.
Wang Qiang, who knew some of the master's thoughts, was afraid of fraud and said with his fists in his hands, "Sir, let me go with you!"
Waving Lin Zimo with his left hand, he smiled with his hands on his side, "No, it will be fine. Go and prepare a horse for me."
Wang Qiang, who stopped talking much, had to do what he wanted. Lin Zimo, who walked out of his government office, returned to the north room in the back hall, took off the magistrate's official uniform and changed into a daily casual suit. He pulled out the dagger from the two boots, put it in the scabbard of the dagger, and then put it in his arms. Lin Zimo has dressed himself up as a romantic and rich man.
He felt that everything was ready and came out without hurry. Although they met the servants and maids in the family, they were not qualified and dared to ask their master where he was going. It happened that Yang Mengqi was studying in the study, and picking lotus, picking stars and picking the moon as companions, he also followed him to read and learning.
Wang Qiang, who held the horse, saw that Lin Zimo came to his side and still couldn't help saying, "Sir, just let me go with you. I'm sure that foreign girl won't say much."
Lin Zimo patted his shoulder, turned over his horse and insisted on going alone, "Is it possible that you don't have confidence in me?"
Wang Qiang, who released the reins, lowered his hands naturally and said seriously, "We all know your bravery. I just can't trust her."
"We haven't been so vicious that she insisted on killing me." Lin Zimo, who grabbed the reins with both hands, smiled and said, "You can rest assured. Not only can I go back quickly, but I can also hold the beautiful woman back.
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out with his feet. Lin Zimo, who is riding on a horse, is really not dizzy. I really want Nalan to know that there is a sky outside and there are people outside. In this world, not only brave people are real men, and those men who know how to tolerate, choose and give in are cowardly.
Lin Zimo, who did not have a quick whip, appeared in the flat sand according to the time agreed between the two. He turned over and got off the horse and walked to Nalanzhen at a uniform speed. She seemed a little surprised and didn't expect that he would really come alone. Since he has come, he can only teach him a good lesson to make the other party retreat.
Before Lin Zimo approached, Nalanzhen, who was pulled out of the curved moon-shaped knife, recognized his courage to come alone and raised his hand and shouted, "Light up the blade!"
Lin Zimo stopped and found that the other party was not only impatient, but also didn't like nonsense. With a smile on his face, he looked at her once and felt that her personality was still somewhat good for her own spleen and stomach. Lin Zimo, who did not show any anxiety, took out two daggers from his arms and pulled them out of his sheath. Holding his left hand back and holding his right hand, he walked away with a smile and put on a posture. I choose not to take the initiative to attack, but to wait for the other party to attack.
Suddenly saw Nalanzhen, who was in a posture, and identified the meaning of a practitioner, but he would only believe that the other party was just a useless embroidered pillow. If she wanted to know about this earlier, she accelerated her steps and rushed to Lin Zimo. Lin Zimo, who held the dagger in her left hand, did not change his face, and it seemed very easy to sweep the knife in her hand.
Nalanzhen, who had this face, jumped back and obviously felt that he was a real practitioner. She, who decided to go all out, couldn't help but rush over. Lin Zimo, who turned slightly sideways, still blocked her with the dagger in his left hand, while his right hand did not attack her. Nalanzhen, who failed to attack twice, raised his hand and scratched his face. He reacted very quickly and immediately blocked it with a dagger in his right hand.
Naranzhen, who felt that he had been teased, really saw that the other party was not the kung fu of a triangular cat, but aboard and eye-catching military skill after hard practice and actual combat. She had long forgotten her three-handed appointment with Lin Zimo, so she was impetuous and felt that her face was shining in the morning, and she was rushing quickly with a knife in her hand.
I noticed that her little girl's temper was Lin Zimo. Although she had a smile on her face, she did not dare to be careless. After all, she did not want to get hurt or lose her life. He concentrated his attention and went all out to deal with Nalan's real quick knife. I caught her several moves and didn't fall behind, but I have already felt that the defense is not attacking, or if it lasts for a long time, I will definitely be defeated by her. The reason why he was able to survive to the current state after practicing to quickly take human life was due to her early misjudgment and carelessness.
The two fought for more than ten rounds, and Lin Zimo, who could not use killing moves, had to struggle to pull away and said, "Three moves have been too long. Does Miss Nalan want to go up with her promise?
Nalanzhen, who was very trustworthy, realized that he had already taken three moves, so he immediately stopped and said with a blank face, "You Han people are really cunning. You know martial arts, but you have to show a weak look to deceive people.
"What you said is so strange. When did I lie to you? Lin Zimo argued truthfully, "You haven't asked me if there are words like martial arts? Previously, you had to make three moves with me, so I had to take it down. Although I caught your three moves, I don't need you to keep your promise. Let's say goodbye!"
After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave, but Nalanzhen, who was born as a beautiful woman, felt more hurt and shouted, "Do you think I'm not beautiful enough, or because I'm a Qiang person, so you don't put me in your eyes?"
Lin Zimo, who felt that beautiful women could not tolerate being ignored, explained with a bitter smile, "Miss Nalan, you think too much. Lin didn't mean that at all.
Nalan, who bit his lower lip, really began to turn red. Recalling that someone had told him that Han men looked down on them, he was about to cry out and said, "You don't mean that, so what do you mean?"
Lin Zimo, who was afraid that the little girl would cry, suddenly defended a little in a panic: "Since you are unwilling to marry me, you are reluctant to be together, and everyone is unhappy. As for your father's side, I will explain it to him in person. You don't have to worry about this."
Nalanzhen, who did not show happiness, suddenly raised his head, stared at him, and choked with a voice: "I have made a vow in the name of Nalan's ancestors, so naturally I can't break the promise I once made. Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me. In my opinion, you don't know how proud you are!"
When her voice fell, tears in her eyes flowed out. Nalan really felt that she had lost herself instead of being forced to marry Lin Zimo by her father.
