Jiu Jiu Restaurant was closed. Auntie Hong lived in a courtyard with three entrances not far away. The woman's body was Yin in nature, so she was afraid of the cold. She and a young woman sat cross-legged on the kang bed. The woman chewed on melon seeds and muttered to herself. The young woman quietly listened to Auntie Hong's nagging without the slightest impatience. Usually, after the women in the fields finished their chores and farm work, those who had a little skill liked to pick up a delicate pair of scissors to spend their free time. They couldn't just focus on having children with their men as soon as the sky turned dark. Besides, they couldn't afford to raise too many children. Although Auntie Hong was an old widow, she could still be considered pretty. However, no one dared to knock on the widow's door and cause trouble. In her free time, she only liked to cut paper. She was clever and skillful. Every time there was a happy occasion, the neighbors were willing to come to Auntie Hong's side to ask for some time-consuming and laborious "happiness" flowers and "marriage" flowers. The window next to the kang bed was covered with Auntie Hong's delicate paper cuts. It was true to the saying of the older generation that when the window was opened, Auntie Hong would hang a "sweeper" under the eaves on cloudy days. It was very effective. Auntie Hong chewed on melon seeds. Occasionally, she would free her hands to teach the woman beside her how to cut paper. However, the woman's appearance was boundless, but her hands were clumsy. This caused Auntie Hong to tease her good-naturedly. Auntie Hong couldn't stop talking and talked about this and that. In the end, most of it was about that family.
"These two should blame Lame Xu."
"The little guy should also blame his parents."
"One can't bear to part with Xu Xiao, and the other can't bear to part with those dead brothers. In the end, the one who suffers is still their own child. "
"They should blame those so-called loyal officials. Xu Xiao isn't a gentleman who is full of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but he does things openly. How can a bullshit gentleman compare to him? When has Xu Xiao ever let anyone down that he deserves? "
"Zhao Zhi is just narrow-minded. She can't bear to see Wu Su being more outstanding than her. She can't bear to see Xu Xiao being more manly than her man. Whoever knows her is unlucky! "
The young woman was cutting a magpie. After it took shape, it was awkward and funny. She smiled. Auntie Hong smiled and comforted her. "Not bad. This is your first time using scissors."
The woman put down the red paper and sighed.
Aunt Hong looked at the window lattice, lost in thought.
The Western Wall was in a deadlock, Ma Ling, fourteen former subordinates of Beiliang, including Ma Ling, crashed their bodies to their deaths in front of the Palace Gate, helping the Great General Xu Xiao quell the boiling rumor that he was going to conquer West Chu by drawing the river. White robes and white mourning dresses beat the war drums and settled the world with a single battle. That year, of the Eight Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn, although Western Shu and Southern Tang were still struggling at death's door, in reality, it was already difficult for them to escape from the Yang, Xu and Gu families' iron cavalry. The Xu family's iron cavalry was only three hundred miles away from West Chu's Imperial City. Xu Xiao was sent four urgent imperial edicts a day, eight hundred miles away, to the capital to be rewarded, but what awaited this meritorious official was the White Robe Case in the capital. This caused West Chu to be surrounded for three years without perishing. At that time, the Prince Zhao Yi, who had not yet been conferred the title of Duke of Guangling, wanted to take advantage of the situation to gain great military merits, but he did not expect to lose two battles in a row. He suffered heavy losses and greatly damaged his vitality. In the end, he could only continue to be led by Xu Xiao on an expedition to the south, and finally broke through the lofty Divine Phoenix City. During those three years, the young Hsu Fengnian was a hostage and was placed under "house arrest" at Dantong Pass, three hundred miles south of Great Peace City. There were six hundred soldiers stationed inside the pass, and more than ten thousand iron cavalry outside the pass, all for the sake of targeting the female sword immortal and the young child.
The woman suddenly asked, "Auntie Hong, don't you regret meeting Uncle Xun Ping?"
The woman shook her head and smiled. "Chen Yu, when you truly fall in love with someone, you won't ask such a silly question."
The woman also shook her head. "It's a pity that we didn't meet."
Auntie Hong suddenly thought of something and said with a gloomy expression, "Serves bald donkey Yang right for dropping in cultivation. It's good that he died. When can we kill Yuan Benxi and Teacher Liu Hao to our satisfaction?"
Chen Yu asked, "Who can kill them?"
Auntie Hong smiled and said, "In any case, it can't be a woman like me. Small scissors can only cut paper."
Chen Yu picked up the Magpie Ascending Plum and raised it above her head. Light shone through the gap, illuminating her beautiful face that could cause the downfall of a country. Even Auntie Hong, who had shamed the moon and embarrassed the flowers in her youth, felt somewhat envious and emotional. Chen Yu, Chen Yu, they really had the foresight to name her.
Auntie Hong asked, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to enter the Imperial Palace of Great Peace City, and instead go to a barren place like Beiliang to suffer?"
Chen Yu directly asked, "Auntie, are you saying that I will be betrothed to that heir of Beiliang?"
Auntie Hong nodded.
Chen Yu smiled faintly. "Isn't it all the same?"
Auntie Hong dismissed it with a smile and waved the small scissors. "Come, I'll teach you how to cut a cockfight."
Chen Yu stilled. Auntie Hong explained with a smile, "Cockfight, the homonym is auspicious. The meaning is auspicious."

Everyone stared dazedly at the fallen princess of West Chu that had appeared out of nowhere. The old officials of the capital did not hinder their love for beauty. They had truly never seen such an outstanding woman. Maybe that Chen Yu on the rouge rankings could compare to her appearance, but in the end, Chen Yu was a woman who could only pick up a brush and embroider a needle. She definitely would not come on a sword.
The woman whose original name was Jiang Si, but who had been changed by a bastard to Jiang Ni, lightly uttered five words. The law of the heavens was vast.
The scabbard did not move. The Great Liang Dragon Sparrow had already left its scabbard to take the head.
The two sword energies of Big Yellow and Big Purple wrapped around the slender ancient sword. It headed towards an eye-catching white python robe on the square.
The moment before the flying sword left its scabbard, Yuan Tingshan, who had been allowed to enter the Dragon Gate and participate in the court meeting, smiled nastily. He looked at his future father-in-law, Gu Jiantang, and extended a hand. "Great General, lend me a blade!"
Gu Jiantang's expression was calm. He did not show any hesitation, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. The Nanhua Saber at his waist came out of its scabbard like a dragon out of water. Yuan Tingshan, who had come from a humble background but suddenly enjoyed wealth, did not have any mentality of cherishing his fortune. He wanted to amaze everyone in Great Peace City. He had almost gone crazy these days. If he did not act now, when would he? You Nobles enjoy wealth and have a clear conscience. I, your father, have to risk my life every time. Wealth comes from danger. Whoever stops me will die! The moment Yuan Tingshan, whose realm had skyrocketed, grasped the Nanhua Saber, his hair was disheveled. It was as if he was possessed by a celestial being, as if he was possessed by a fiery demon. With the saber in his hand, he instantly knew that the Great General had not only borrowed the Nanhua Saber, but also contained a vast amount of vital energy. With such good intentions, how could Yuan Tingshan disappoint his father-in-law, the number one saber user in the world?
Yuan Tingshan gripped the saber with both hands. His eyes were red. With a furious roar, he chopped at the flying sword that had fallen to the ground.
On the city gate tower, Cao Qingyi, who was fighting against Gu Jiantang and Zhao Danping, turned a blind eye. She calmly said, "West Chu returns the Beiliang salute."
