Chapter 297
The sound of drum beats became more and more urgent. Sun Shangxiang and Liu Jing were about twenty steps apart. They danced swords against each other, which seemed to be inseparable from each other. Sun Shangxiang was a Yue girl sword dance, with a light posture and graceful dance, like a willow branch flying in the wind.
Liu Jing was in full swing and danced a set of overlord swords. Legend has it that it was created by Xiang Yu. His movements were steady and thick, his momentum was heroic, and he had a strong and heroic spirit, which was completely opposite to Sun Shangxiang's lightness.
In the lobby, the guests kept cheering, and applause was thunderous. Even Liu Bei couldn't help but cheer loudly, "What a hero among women, I haven't seen him in my life!"
He picked up the wine glass, then squinted to himself and said, "Get a wife like this!"
The voice of this sentence was not high, and Zhang Zhao, who was a little far away from him, did not hear it, but Sun Quan's wife Xie on the other side heard it. She frowned slightly. This was not what the elders should say.
Xie pulled her husband's sleeve and whispered to him. Sun Quan was stunned and couldn't help but look back at Liu Bei. Seeing that Liu Bei's hands were shaking violently when he saw that he was drinking, almost half of the wine was splashed on his clothes, but he didn't realize that this was the drunkenness.
Sun Quan waved his hand quickly and ordered someone to find Zhuge Jin. Soon, Zhuge Jin stepped forward, Sun Quan pointed at Liu Bei and whispered: "He is drunk, please find the guard to help him down."
At this time, Liu Bei was in high spirits and applauded and laughed, "Okay! It's as graceful as a stunning geese, as gentle as a dragon."
Zhuge Jin stepped forward and supported him and smiled, "Does the emperor want to change clothes? I will help the emperor go."
Liu Bei's consciousness was already in a semi-vague state. He couldn't help but be helped up by Zhuge Jin. He staggered and almost fell down. At this time, Liu Bei's two personal soldiers quickly held him left and right, and helped him out from the side door.
The drums in the lobby became more and more urgent. Sun Shangxiang picked Liu Jing slightly. Her sword light was like a ball of shadows, gradually approaching Liu Jing. Suddenly, a dozen lights and shadows were split into swords in her hand and stabbed towards Liu Jing.
Her Qingfeng sword is just a ritual sword. Without a blade, it cannot hurt people. However, more than a dozen swords stabbed Liu Jing, which would make people a little embarrassed. This is also Sun Shangxiang's purpose. Of course, she dare not really hurt Liu Jing, but if she could stab him more than a dozen swords and embarrass him, she could breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Jing was in full swing, and a set of overlord swords danced to the fullest. Suddenly, he saw Sun Shangxiang stabbing the sword. He laughed and picked up the long sword. With a "dou!", he accurately hit the opponent's sword body. Sun Shangxiang felt his arms were sore and the sword in his hand almost flew out.
At this moment, Liu Jing appeared sideways behind her, put the sword in his hand on the ground, and smiled at her, "Good scenery, why not abandon the sword, let's dance together?"
"If you ask me to chop a sword, I will abandon the sword and dance with you!"
The two figures intertwined and exchanged positions with each other. Sun Shangxiang slashed two swords in succession and asked in a low voice: "Do you agree?"
"Haha! I can't afford to lose this face."
"Then don't blame me for being rude!"
Sun Shangxiang took a deep breath, shouted, and stabbed Liu Jing like a storm. Even Sun Quan was shocked, with an angry face. Why was his sister so ungrateful to the distinguished guest?
The guests on both sides calmed down and no one cheered again. At this time, everyone could see that Princess Sun was not showing love to Liu Jing, but venting her anger by using the sword to dance. The sword in her hand slashed towards Liu Jing like a storm. I don’t know how much hatred there was in the sword.
Liu Jing calmly avoided her sword force. Although Sun Shangxiang's sword skills seemed dazzled, in Liu Jing's eyes, most of her sword skills were flashy, without power, and without speed changes, but complicated moves.
Liu Jing dodged dozens of her swords in a row, retreating to the huge cylinder, and had no choice but to retreat. Sun Shangxiang was upset. Seeing that Liu Jing always avoided calmly at the last moment, she was very anxious and shouted again, slashing the sword head-on.
She used ten percent of her power to this sword. Even if it was Yi Jian, something would happen if it hit the forehead. There was a burst of exclamation in the lobby. Sun Quan was so angry that he slapped the table, but at this moment, an accident happened.
Liu Jing dodged away from the fierce sword. Sun Shangxiang did not cut the sky with one sword, but slashed heavily on the wooden pillar. The huge rebound force returned. Sun Shangxiang could no longer hold the sword in his hand. With a harsh sound, the long sword fell to the ground.
There was a silence in the lobby, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at them. Liu Jing picked up the sword and handed it back with a smile, "Does Miss Sun want to dance the sword again?"
Sun Shangxiang's face turned white and red. She was defeated by Liu Jing's empty hand. The huge sense of shame made her feel ashamed. She stomped her feet, turned around and ran out of the hall.
The lobby became lively again, and Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Young Master Jing's strategy made Zhou Yu admire him!"
"Gongjin is too awarded!"
Liu Jing smiled slightly and turned around to salute Sun Quan, "Liu Jing is wrong and has been rude. Please don't be surprised by Wu Hou."
Sun Quan sighed, "I want to apologize to the young master. I spoiled her too much. She was so ignorant that she was rude to the distinguished guest. Please forgive my sister."
Liu Jing smiled, "I naturally won't take this little thing to heart."

The banquet dispersed after the fun. Liu Jing returned to the Tao Mansion under the close protection of the guards. At this time, he was already seventy-six minutes old and his feet were a little unstable. As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper stepped forward to report: "Son-in-law, Jiangxia is here, there is important news!"
Liu Jing was still very clear-minded and asked with a smile: "Where is the person? Let him come to see me."
The soldiers made way for a passage, and an officer quickly stepped forward. It was Liu Jing's chief guard Li Qing. He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and presented a letter, "This is a letter from Chief Xu, please check it out."
Liu Jing accepted the letter, but was not in a hurry to read it, and asked him again: "How is the matter in Wuling County?"
"Report to the young master, it's done."
Li Qing took out another letter, "This is a handwritten letter from General Zhao to the young master."
Liu Jing was anxious to read Zhao Yun's letter. He hurried back to his yard. As soon as he entered the yard, a maid ran up to support him and asked worriedly: "Young Master, are you drunk?"
Liu Jing suddenly felt something was wrong. Although there were three maids in his room, they were all extremely timid and did not dare to talk to him, let alone take the initiative to help him. Moreover, the voice... was very familiar.
Liu Jing glanced at her, but saw that it was a white and clean bun face, with big eyes flashing, "Little bun!" Liu Jing was stunned for a moment. The maid who helped him turned out to be his personal maid, Xiao Baozi. Why did she come?
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Baozi's face turned red, and he avoided his eyes with a little guilty conscience, "Let's go back to the house first!"
Xiao Baozi walked his arm around his shoulders and helped him walk into the room. The two personal soldiers stopped following him and retreated.
After leaving the study, Xiao Baozi helped Liu Jing sit down and brought him a cup of freshly fried tea. Liu Jing looked around and found that the three maids were gone.
"I let them go."
Xiao Baozi said angrily: "Everyone is clumsy, can do nothing, and does not understand your habits. Staying there is redundant."
"oh!"
Liu Jing had no impression of the three maids, and it didn't matter if he left. He took a few sips of hot tea, sobered up with a few minutes of alcohol, and asked with a smile: "You haven't answered me yet! Why are you here?"
"I... I'll give you some more tea!"
Xiao Baozi picked up the cup and went out in a panic. Liu Jing couldn't help laughing at her back.
Xiao Baozi has been following him for five years, and is already sixteen years old this year. Except for growing taller and much plump, her appearance has almost never changed from before. Of course, Liu Jing can't remember what she used to be.
Xiao Baozi has always been his personal maid and knows his habits well. With her around, she really has to be much more comfortable in daily life.
Soon, Xiao Baozi brought a cup of tea and returned to the room. She had already thought of the words. She put the tea on the table, took two soft mattresses for Liu Jing to cushion against the wall, and smiled: "Madam is worried that the young master will not be taken care of all the way, and the personal soldiers are frivolous, which makes her worried. It just so happened that the chief minister asked Li Qingtou to deliver the letter, and the wife asked me to come with her. To be honest, I don't want to see your face. If you don't want me to come, I will leave tomorrow."
Liu Jing reached out and pinched her face, and smiled and said, "You weird elf, I don't know what you think? I'm very happy to come, I won't be angry."
Xiao Baozi's face was already used to being pinched by Liu Jing, and she didn't care about it normally, but now she turned red, turned around with a little shyness, and took out a letter.
"This is a letter from your home from your wife."
When Liu Jing mentioned the letter, he suddenly remembered the letters of Xu Shu and Zhao Yun. He took out two letters from his arms. Xu Shu said that shortly after he left, the emperor sent an envoy back to Jiangxia with Liu Min, and officially appointed him as the governor of Jingzhou and the title of Marquis of Fanxiang.
Liu Jing had heard Lu Su say this, but he was not surprised. However, Liu Min mentioned that if he was willing to surrender to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would grant him the title of King of Xiangyang and his descendants to be the governor of Jingzhou forever.
Although the conditions were very attractive, Liu Jing just smiled. He didn't think about this for the time being. He took out Zhao Yun's letter and wrote two pieces of paper, squinted his eyes and looked slowly under the lamp.
In his letter to Zhao Yun, he only talked about some doubts and family matters during martial arts practice, and also told him the secret that Liu Biao would let him succeed Liu Jing as the governor of Jingzhou before his death.
Zhao Yun's reply did not mention his own situation in Wuling County at all, but was full of his martial arts experience, mainly his understanding of the Danfeng Chaoyang Spear and Luofeng's martial arts.
For ordinary martial artists, they cannot see Zhao Yun’s martial arts experience, but they are not a secret about Liu Jing. Zhao Yun has detailed explanations on some of the problems he encountered in martial arts practice, which makes him feel enlightened.
His drunkenness suddenly woke up most of the time. He sat up straight and looked down one by one, making him intoxicated and forgot everything around him.
He almost taught himself. Although he learned a strong martial arts by relying on his own understanding and unremitting efforts, he learned by himself after all, and there were still some confusions and some problems hidden.
When encountering enemies with slightly inferior martial arts, it may not have any impact, but when encountering strong enemies, many problems will be exposed. Of course, with his identity, he often doesn't have to take action, but his love for martial arts made him eager to solve these problems. Now, Zhao Yun told him the answer.
He suddenly stood up, picked up the long spear from the corner of the house and walked out quickly. When Xiao Baozi saw the young master going to practice martial arts, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen. She knew the young master's habit and had to eat after practicing martial arts.
