Nie Jiangsheng's figure had already appeared outside the courtyard, wrapping the dagger in his hand with a cloth. Walking on the street, he bought some things here and there. They were all things that Nie Li liked. He even went to the tailor shop and had the tailor make a set of clothes according to Nie Li's figure.
Recently, Nie Li started practicing martial arts, causing his body to grow even faster. In addition to the special medicinal bath, his height had shot up again. The clothes from before were obviously not enough. Last night, when Nie Li was sleeping, he secretly estimated it.
"Dafu, Dafu." Nie Jiangsheng walked into the shop. The decorations were exactly the same as a few years ago. Every year, Nie Jiangsheng would come here, but there didn't seem to be many changes.
"Big brother Nie! Why are you here today? " Wang Dafu walked out. Although the shop didn't change much, he still couldn't escape the passage of time. There were many wrinkles on his face and his walk wasn't as steady as before.
"Help Li 'er make a set of clothes. This brat has grown taller recently. He can't wear his old clothes anymore." Nie Jiangsheng's eyes were smiling. When he talked about Nie Li, there was always an obvious pride on his face. Everyone in Gusu City knew that Nie Li was Nie Jiangsheng's treasure. Only this son of his could make him happy.
"Okay, tell me your measurements. You can come back in the afternoon to get it." Wang Dafu had watched Nie Li grow up. This genius child of Gusu City hadn't been on the ferry for a long time. Some people said that Nie Li might have met with a storm in the Immortal River a few days ago and was still recuperating at home. However, looking at Nie Jiangsheng's expression, those rumors were probably groundless.
"I'll have to trouble you." After speaking, Nie Jiangsheng left. He could only come back in the afternoon to get the dagger and clothes. Old Li hadn't returned yet. He would go on the ferry first. In the afternoon, he would bring these back and properly reward Li 'er.
"Da da da." Just as Nie Jiangsheng was walking on the street, groups of armored soldiers with sabers at their waists and spears in their hands were waiting for him. They looked quite mighty.
"A bunch of strong on the outside but weak on the inside. With this kind of soldiers, it's no wonder the Southern Song Dynasty has always been suppressed." In the eyes of outsiders, these soldiers were extraordinary, but in Nie Jiangsheng's eyes, they were so unbearable.
When they arrived at the South City Gate, the gate was half closed. Entry and exit had to be checked. Nie Jiangsheng had already hidden the dagger. He walked shakily to the city gate.
"Old man, come here for inspection." He looked at Nie Jiangsheng, and when the other soldiers heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. This old man was going to be in trouble. He had been targeted by this fellow, but he was a squad leader, so they didn't dare to say anything.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Nie Jiangsheng slowly walked over, looking even more fragile.
"Accept the inspection, or you can't leave the city." As the squad leader spoke, his saliva sprayed out. He looked at Nie Jiangsheng greedily, wanting to squeeze some oil out of this person.
"Sir, I'm just a commoner. What's there to check?" Nie Jiangsheng lowered his head. A cold light flashed in his eyes, but no one saw it. Instead, they thought he was afraid.
"Let's not beat around the bush. If you don't leave something behind, don't even think about passing." The squad leader's gaze became fierce, and the aura on his body pressed towards Nie Jiangsheng. If this aura on his body was to ordinary people, it might have a deterrent effect, but to Nie Jiangsheng, it was as gentle as the wind.
"Sir, I'm just a boatman. Where did the money come from? Today, I went to the city to buy some food for my children. I don't have much money on me." Nie Jiangsheng said with a sad face. His words made the people around him unable to bear it. Such a good father was being exploited. Many people dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
"Did you not take my words seriously? If you don't have money, then leave these things behind." Looking at the wine, meat, and other things in Nie Jiangsheng's hands, he felt that if he let this person pass without leaving anything behind, the dignity he had just established would probably no longer exist.
Nie Jiangsheng pretended to be reluctant, but he had to give it to him. However, he was relieved in his heart. As long as he was not entangled by this person, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist slapping this person to death. This was the government, this was corruption.
"Sun Long, put away your little abacus for me." A voice sounded. Nie Jiangsheng looked back and saw a man in his thirties walking away. His eyes were shining. Nie Jiangsheng could not help but look at him. This person was Wang Zhi.
"Wang." When Sun Long saw this person, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. However, he was about to respectfully salute but was interrupted by Wang Zhi.
"Return the things and let the old man pass. If I see you acting like a tyrant again, even if the county magistrate comes, I will not spare you. " After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked away without even looking at Sun Long. This made the latter gnash his teeth in hatred.
"Go! You are lucky today. " When Sun Long saw Wang Zhi leave, he vented all his resentment on Nie Jiangsheng, but the latter did not care. He took the things and ran away.
"Coward, coward." Sun Long's mouth kept cursing. Nie Jiangsheng had a ruthless smile on his face. He put the things he bought on the boat and hid in the canopy. The weak sunlight still had a trace of warmth. Winter was coming. Nie Jiangsheng estimated that the plan could start now. He only needed to wait for Li Yu to bring the things back.
After sleeping for a while, the sky had already darkened. Nie Jiangsheng hurried into the city to get the things. Because the sky was dark, there were only a few people at the city gate. When they saw that Nie Jiangsheng was a familiar face, they let him go.
Nie Jiangsheng also knew why today was so strict. It was nothing more than the death of the son of the third master of the Righteous Faction. If it was an ordinary martial artist, it would not be a big deal. However, this person's identity was different. The Righteous Faction was a big force in the Southern Song Dynasty.
The Southern Song Dynasty valued literature and despised martial arts. However, martial arts were prevalent among the people. If it were not for these martial artists, the Southern Song Dynasty would have fallen under the iron hooves of the Northern Tang and the Western Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Imperial Court turned a blind eye to the Jianghu forces.
Both sides took a step back and did not interfere with each other. However, in some matters, the Imperial Court and the Jianghu still cooperated.
When he returned home, it was already night time. Seeing Nie Li sitting on the bed, he knew that today's double training was too much for this kid. Nie Jiangsheng walked to the side of the bed. Seeing that it was his father, Nie Li closed his eyes and continued to rest. Nie Jiangsheng pinched Nie Li's arm.
"Ah! Father, be gentle. " Nie Li sat up. When Nie Jiangsheng pinched him just now, he felt as if there were countless ants biting him.
"After practicing for a hundred thousand times, it is very easy to leave behind hidden injuries. Although it is usually not obvious, the more you practice, the greater the drawbacks. I will now help you clear your meridians. Remember to soak in the medicinal bath later. Today, soak in it for a while. "
"I will go cook. You go soak in the medicinal bath first." Nie Jiangsheng poked Nie Li's arms a few times. The pain caused Nie Li's face to twist. However, after that, a warm current slowly flowed through Nie Li's arms, allowing him to feel some sensation.
An hour later, Nie Li heard Nie Jiangsheng calling his name and came out of the bathtub. His body was full of strong muscles. After many years of training, his originally thin body was very powerful. Now, after Nie Jiangsheng's training, his perfect body was full of explosive power. The only flaw was that his right ankle was deathly pale, like a piece of white jade.
Nie Li first touched the ground with his left foot, supporting his body. Although he rarely paid attention to his right foot, it was real and became a scar in his heart and body.
Grabbing the clothes on the side, Nie Li looked at the somewhat small robe, revealing his wrists and calves. He bitterly smiled. It seems that he will have to go to the city to make a set of clothes.
Walking into the house, Nie Jiangsheng had already prepared the meal. Today, he bought a lot of things, so the meal was extremely rich. The color, smell, and taste were all good. Looking at it, Nie Li drooled, unable to take his eyes off it.
Without caring about anything else, he stepped forward, grabbed a duck leg, and stuffed it into his mouth. Nie Jiangsheng kept smiling, his eyes soft. These few days, Nie Li began to practice martial arts, which consumed a lot of his body. He also needs to nourish. He has been relying on medicinal baths, which will make his stomach bitter.
"Father, don't just look at me! You also eat! "Nie Li's mouth did not stop as he said to his father.
"So much, you can't finish it. After you finish eating, I'll give you a few things. "Nie Jiangsheng casually used chopsticks to pick up some food and stuffed it into his mouth, then took a few sips of wine.
Nie Li swept away the food on the table, more than half of the food was gone. Nie Jiangsheng got up and took out the things that he prepared for Nie Li. Looking at the things in Nie Jiangsheng's hands, Nie Li was stunned.
"Father, this is." Nie Li quickly stood up and wiped his oily hands on the hem of his clothes.
"Seeing that your clothes don't fit recently, I specially bought it for you. Also, since you learn the saber, you should have a saber, so that you look good. " Nie Jiangsheng handed the things to Nie Li and let him go into the house to change. He then sat on the chair, leisurely picked up the meat and drank a few mouthfuls of wine.
A moment later, Nie Li came out wearing a black robe. The wide black robe and the hem of the robe were embroidered with red silk threads. It looked domineering without losing its beauty. The robe was lined with a slim combat suit, perfectly highlighting his tall and straight figure.
Nie Li's body can still support. Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Looking at it like this, Nie Li is really a good young master. The black robe with a handsome face and elegant temperament, makes people praise again and again.
"Here is your saber." Nie Jiangsheng threw the black saber over.
Nie Li reached out and caught it. His hand sank. He did not expect this saber to be so heavy. The black iron scabbard has some simple decorations. He pulled out the saber. It is about three inches long and the handle is about one and a half feet long. The edge of the saber is suffused with a dim light. The blade flashed with a blood groove on it.
"Good saber." Nie Li can't help but praise. If he had this saber, the piebald snake he met that day would have been easily beheaded.
"In the future, with this, you can also defend yourself. However, as a saber user, the saber is a killing weapon, and also a friend who trusts his life. Remember, remember. "Nie Jiangsheng looked at the saber and murmured in a low voice.
The Nie family's son has just grown up. The black robe makes him look handsome. The saber returns to the scabbard like a waning moon. Jianghu is like a dream.
