sword sentient beings

Chapter 267 Friends and Foes
After an inexplicable accident, the door of the teahouse opened wide, and all the guests dispersed in a hurry, fearing that they would be implicated if they walked too slowly.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, the owner of the teahouse immediately closed the door and put on the board, seeing that he might not dare to open the door for three days or two.Businessmen like them are most afraid of people making troubles, and some people make a big fuss. Although they didn't smash the table and throw the bowl, fight and hurt people, it was worse than that.

It's just that the boss closed the door and calmed down for a while, and found that even the storyteller had run away among the crowd without knowing when, so he couldn't help yelling.

Two young men and women came out with the flow of people, and they were the two who had just heard the sneer of "shocking heaven and earth weeping ghosts and gods".They were not flustered like those guests, and their expressions were at most a little upset.

"Really, there is a disgusting guy." The girl complained loudly after walking out of the crowd, "Although the storyteller is bragging, but his words are funny, he insists on disturbing things that are fun, who is disgusting? What is it to scare the tea customers in the teahouse? The teahouse is full of idlers, and most of them don’t even know what a sword is. Does he think he can scare the people in Zhuoyu Villa?"

The young man next to her looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his figure was thin. He pondered: "Yeah, that man is unusual and agile. I didn't see how he walked. His strength is very good. Like him There is really no need for such an expert to manifest himself in front of ordinary people, it is meaningless at all."

The girl smiled and said, "Unless..."

The young man turned his head to listen, and the girl said: "Unless that guy really hates Zhuoyu Villa, he won't listen to anything good. Hearing the storyteller's praise of Zhuoyu Villa, he can't stand it anymore, and insists on coming to the stage to yell and spoil the situation. Impossible."

The young man laughed twice, and said: "It's not impossible. We've been in Jichun City for a few days. According to my observation, half of the people who come here are malicious. The rest are mostly just watching the fun. There aren't many friendly ones, just the locals and You Rongyan booing. Zhuoyu Villa seems to be really hated." As he spoke, he pouted his lips and motioned for a very elegant-looking middle-aged man to pass by. .

Nowadays, in Spring City, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, any passer-by on the street may be a hidden figure. Those who look elegant may be some kind of talisman sword master or even a swordsmith, and those who look mighty may be some kind of master.

Some of these people participated in the Sword Forging Conference, but many of them didn't seem to be in a hurry to go up the mountain—these people had some problems.The guests who were really friendly and even neutral came to Jichun City to contact Zhuoyu Villa, and they had even been taken up the mountain by Zhuoyu Villa.Some of those who stayed and lingered in Spring City were probably not invited. They came here to watch the excitement from a distance, and the purpose of some people may be even more difficult to say.

The girl also nodded and said: "Yeah, I didn't know before I came here. Zhuoyu Mountain Villa is unknown, I haven't heard of it before, but this year they have a genius disciple at the Fuhui—oh, it's two. It became famous. Later, there was sword casting, and I heard this name again, so I remembered this sect. I thought it was a small sect hidden in the world, but I didn’t expect it to be a trouble-making sect?”

The young man said: "A new generation replaces the old ones. Today they produced a genius who became famous for a while, maybe they also produced such a genius back then, and they were famous for a while, but it's just that everyone has forgotten it after a long time?" He lowered his voice. , said: "It's just that he is a genius who causes trouble. If he really forged so many enemies, then the sword casting may really die. We all know that the days when the sword is out of the oven are the closest to success and the easiest to fail. .Because all materials are healed at that moment. If it fails, it will cause a collapse. It only needs someone to touch in and interfere, and the effort of making a sword will be in vain. Are there few accidents in these years? It is our own prison This happened too.”

The girl nodded, and suddenly smiled again: "I believe Zhuoyu Villa has enemies, but it is too exaggerated to say that the whole world is an enemy, right? That person has a lot of lies, such as the imperial court - saying that the imperial court does not allow Yunzhou to have enemies." Swordsmiths, what you say is the same as jealousy and jealousy. This is too small for us. Let alone national teachers, what is the status of our four major swordsmiths? Are they all narrow-minded people? Let me tell you, they are under siege, but because they can’t trust our Xuanshui prison and don’t communicate with us, if they are really registered and registered with the court, except Who dares to openly challenge the thieves? This is all because of their selfishness."

The young man said: "This is Yunzhou after all. All the princes in the world, especially the border counties, are like this. Fortunately, Marquis Gao Yuan is not a traitor, he is the least likely to oppose the imperial court."

The girl said: "Yes, everyone in the court knows that Marquis Gao Yuan is trustworthy. That's why we came here. The swordsmiths in the north are supervised by us Xuanshui. They don't understand, we came here on our own initiative, and we don't blame him." I hope they won't be ignorant of flattery..."

Suddenly, she felt a chill down her spine, and turned her head abruptly.

Behind is the busy street, with countless people coming and going, nothing surprising.

However, she just clearly felt a cold gaze staring at her.

She pursed her lips, knowing something was wrong, she didn't dare to speak any more, and dragged the young man away in a hurry.

When they left, a woman in white with a veiled cap on the street smiled slightly, turned around and walked into a nearby shop.

The shop was different from ordinary shops. The six doors facing the street were all closed, as if they were not open, but a small door was opened at the farthest side, and there was no signboard. There was only a small sign that read "Baiyu" "Two words.

When the woman in white entered the door, she saw that the shop was clean and tidy, with a counter at the front and a few sets of tables and chairs in the middle. It didn't look like a shop, but an elegant tea room.

Standing behind the counter was a well-dressed woman. Seeing the woman in white enter the door, she greeted her and said, "Welcome. Please sit down, what's your name?"

The woman in white smiled and said, "Black Widow."

The woman was stunned for a moment—in the blink of an eye, she immediately smiled and said, "Is it Master Yin? I have heard your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"

The black widow gave the other person a very appreciative glance. Obviously, this girl is very talented. She can immediately remember her identity and nickname without looking it up, and she handles it tactfully. There is no such talent in her villa.

The girl poured water for the black widow, took out a gift box, and said: "Welcome to the sword casting conference, our mountain is full of splendor. This is a certificate for you to go up the mountain, and a small gift for you. With this With the voucher, you can freely participate in the sword casting conference, go sightseeing in the villa, participate in our Baiyu Shenghui activities, and exchange gifts. There is also a number in the end, which is used for a lucky draw. We will have a lucky draw on the last day, and there may be surprises. "

The black widow nodded politely and said, "Can I see Ah Zhao when I go to the mountain?"

The girl smiled and said: "You can see it in the next few days, but Mr. Tang is still casting swords. According to the plan, the sword will be released ten days from today. Now the fourth senior sister is in charge of our shop, and the eighth senior brother is in charge." Responsible for picking up distinguished guests up the mountain. But today he went to Zhongtian Mansion to pick up a few people. When you come back tomorrow, if you are not in a hurry, you can go up the mountain together at Runcaodu tomorrow? If you are in a hurry, I will contact you to send you..."

Black Widow said calmly: "I'm not in a hurry..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sound of rubbing at the door, and a person rushed in, sweating profusely, very embarrassed.The man glanced at the outsider inside, quickly restrained his demeanor, straightened up and tugged at his clothes, unexpectedly he still had a bit of elegance.

The girl wondered: "Mr. Liu? Why are you here?"

The man said: "Something happened in our teahouse, is it convenient?" He glanced at the black widow.

The girl said: "Wait." The turn-back counter called out a young disciple from inside, and asked Mr. Liu to go in and talk to him.

Seeing the two people enter the door, the black widow said thoughtfully, "I've seen this one before, isn't he a storyteller? Could he also be a distinguished guest invited by you? Seeing his sloppy footsteps, he seems to be an ordinary person."

The girl smiled and explained: "He is an ordinary person. We have a cooperation with him. He helps us publicize the benefits of our Jade Jade Villa to businessmen and elders in our hometown."

The black widow laughed, and said: "So that's it. Why do I always listen to the library bragging about your conference? It seems that you made a lot of people unhappy with your publicity. It's not just one or two people who are making trouble openly and secretly. If it goes on like this , is there no problem with the Sword Forging Conference?"

The girl glanced at the black widow. She didn't know the black widow. Naturally, she couldn't confide in her heart, so she just smiled heartily: "Of course it's okay. They're planning to make trouble, so why don't we do nothing for the past six months? It should be arranged early." It’s set up. The Sword Forging Conference is for everyone to appreciate and congratulate together, not for the younger generation to destroy it.”

Black Widow said: "I see that there are quite a few bad-hearted people out there, do you have enough people?"

She asked carefully, and the girl became more confident and said: "What's not enough? We not only have enemies, but also many friends. This time, we are not only facing the strength of my family, every friend is a strength." .”

The black widow smiled and said, "Oh? Then I'm also Ah Zhao's friend, right?"

The girl was stunned again. If she said yes, she didn’t know this person. If she said no, she was called “A Zhao” so affectionately. How could she not give a response? She smiled and said, “Of course you are.” Otherwise, why would Brother Tang specially invite you here? After going up the mountain, I will have to rely on your strength."

The black widow smiled and said, "According to what you said, I'm not in a hurry to go up the mountain."

The girl was taken aback.

The black widow smiled and said: "What can I do when I go up the mountain? I'm not a swordsman, and I don't know talismans. I have some martial arts, not to mention that you don't like them, but I'm embarrassed to mention them. Only the viciousness trained since childhood is always good. Forget. I think it would be more useful for me to stay at the foot of the mountain, after all, half of those who are dissatisfied with you are concentrated in Jichun City."

The girl swallowed slightly and said, "You want to..."

The black widow did not answer, but instead said: "There are still nine days left for the Sword Forging Conference, right? Then I still have a few days, so I have to hurry up and do something."
