In the training courtyard outside of the Shen residence, Mo Qing was sparring with Shen Qiu's personal soldier Ah Chi. Ah Chi was currently one of Shen Qiu's subordinates with the best martial arts skills but Mo Qing was able to fight evenly with him. In the beginning when Shen Miao introduced Mo Qing to Shen Qiu, Shen Qiu also had the intention to test Mo Qing's abilities and at the end of the test, Mo Qing was still quite good.
Shen Qiu was naturally very happy. A strong General would not have weak soldiers and if he had more strong soldiers under him, the reputation of the Shen family's army would be even more resounding. Ever since he recruited Mo Qing, Shen Qiu kept praising Shen Miao's foresight and occasionally pestered Shen Miao to 'accidentally' discover such a talent in the marketplace but was rejected by Shen Miao's supercilious eyes. In the previous lifetime there was only one commander of the guards and from what Shen Qiu said, could it be that the streets and alleys were filled with commanders of the guards?
After Ah Chi and Mo Qing finished a round of sparring, they were so tired that they were drenched in sweat. Ah Chi suddenly gulped down a large mouthful of water and said, "It is really refreshing to spar with Brother Mo. Brother Mo's swordsmanship is really superb and makes one envious. "
Mo Qing cupped his hands, "Brother Ah Chi has overpraised. My swordsmanship is not considered superb. There is always someone better than you in the universe and there are many experts in this world."
"Could it be that there is someone whose swordsmanship is better than Brother Mo?" Ah Chi smiled, "Then I really want to experience it!"
Mo Qing did not speak but his mind was that night in Wo Long Temple. He carried Shen Qing on his back and changed rooms with Shen Miao, thus changing the fates of both of them. That night, there was a black clad person who came in from the window and easily snatched his sword in five moves. In that person's hands, he was as weak as a child and he heard Shen Miao calling him, Little Xie Marquis.
That young man's swordsmanship was truly superb.
Ah Chi sighed for a while before speaking, "One do not know how delightful it is to kill the enemy together with Brother Mo on the battlefield. I am actually somewhat impatient. Unfortunately General will stay in the Ding capital for half a year because of Young Lady. If one want to join hands to repel the enemy, one would have to wait for half a year." He looked at Mo Qing, "Speaking of which, our family's Young Lady really has a discerning eye for heroes. It is really rare to find a person like Brother Mo."
"Young Lady is an amazing person." Mo Qing said. After following Shen Miao for a long time, he did not like some of Shen Miao's actions. As a female, Shen Miao was cruel and heartless, without sympathy, vicious and cold, but it was impossible to hate her, because the people she dealt with were people who wanted to put her to death.
Mo Qing remembered that day when Shen Miao lifted the curtain of the horse carriage and asked him with a smile, "Are you willing to sell all your martial arts skills to my Shen family?"
A scholar would die for a bosom friend. From a certain aspect, Shen Miao was Mo Qing's benefactor.
Ah Chi punched him, "I know, you are the person chosen by Miss, of course you will think well of her. Just protect her during the Jade Rabbit Festival tomorrow. "
"En?" Mo Qing suddenly raised his head and looked up.
"What?" Ah Chi followed his gaze and said in confusion, "There's nothing there."
"Most likely I sensed wrongly." Mo Qing shook his head and ignored the strange feeling in his heart just now.
At the other side of the wall, there were two people squatting there. These two people were dressed in hemp clothes and wore bamboo hats that covered their faces so one could not see their appearance at a glance.
One of them said, "This Shen residence is indeed full of talented people. Even a guard has such ability and almost discovered both of us."
"Correct." The other person lowered his voice to discuss, "There are many guards outside the Shen residence and there are also Shen Xin's soldiers. It would be too risky to take action from inside and one fear that it would not be easy to succeed. One would also alert the enemy. If in the future Shen Miao is protected impenetrably, one fear that it would be more difficult to take action. "
"The higher-ups had given the order and it was not easy to get some news." That person's companion said, "Once we capture her and get the result, this trip would not be considered as a waste. Both of us only need to wait to be promoted. How can one give up midway? "
"Naturally one cannot give up." The bamboo hat person laughed, "Just now did the two guards not say that Shen Miao will be travelling during the Jade Rabbit Festival tomorrow. At that time there will be a surge of people and it would be easy to do something. At that time, one group of people will lure the Shen family away and another group of people will bring her away."
"Do it cleanly and neatly." That person's words were filled with ruthlessness, "In order to eliminate future troubles, tie her up and throw her into the lake after getting the news. Do not have any other ideas."
"Naturally."
