sword sentient beings

Chapter 268 Uphill

With the approaching of the Sword Forging Conference and the excitement of Spring City, every day gets better.The legend of the Sword Forging Conference changes from time to time.After staying in Jichun City for a long time, people with soft ears are the most likely to fall into cognitive confusion. One moment, they thought that there was a fairy cave in Jiugao Mountain, and everyone could go to seek immortality. The next moment, they heard that the army of rebels was approaching , and Chuncheng is about to die.

But on this day, another secret rumor spread in the city, and the city gradually became commotion.Some masters in the martial arts were originally watching the excitement, but they were also involved in it unknowingly.

Among them, some people kept entering and spring city, the Shura field, and some people left on their own initiative.

In the early morning of the next day, several carts departed from the north gate of Jichun City and drove along the road to the mountainous area further north.

These large carts are covered with green cloth, and the carts are only pulled by blue and gray mules, which seem to be ordinary vehicles used by ordinary people for traveling and pulling goods.But anyone who stepped on the plate could tell that the ruts of these cars were extremely deep, and the bodies were obviously heavy, and the loads on the cars were by no means ordinary cargo.If it is in other chaotic states and counties, there may be strong people who will try to start.Fortunately, Jiugao Mountain has always been clean, allowing all kinds of vehicles and horses to pass by.

After driving for half a day, the vehicle gradually entered the mountain. The road conditions were not as good as the next mile. The dirt road was narrow and winding, and two vehicles could not run side by side.Fortunately, the road surface is relatively smooth, it seems to be a newly paved gravel road, which can be used by horses and carriages, and the drivers are all good drivers, so they can move forward smoothly.

After walking for a while, the mountains on both sides are getting higher and the jungles are getting denser, and we have entered the deep mountains and old forests.Weeds are luxuriant beside the dirt road, and wild beasts come and go frequently. A roe deer emerges for a while, and a pheasant flies out for a while.

The front car is the leading car of the team. The driver is a calm-looking young man. He drives the car without rushing or slowing down. The speed of the entire convoy.

fluttering--

Suddenly, a bird with brilliant feathers flew out of the woods, just right on the mule's head.The mule's sight was blocked, and he shook his head indiscriminately, and he was about to kick. The young man shook his wrist, and the whip was like an arm, and he rolled it lightly, wrapping the whole body of the bird and pulling it closer, and caught it in his hand. The whole process was clean Quickly, not only did the mule not be hurt, but even the feathers of the birds in the whip were not broken.

He let go of the whip, stretched out his fingers to hold the bird, and saw that it was a long-tailed pheasant that is common in the mountains. At this time, it was very panicked, struggling and singing in his hand, but it still couldn't escape the light grip of his three fingers.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "Why are you panicking? Are you afraid that I will throw you into the pot? No, and no one will pay you."

After all, as soon as he let go, he let the freed pheasant stumble and leap into the forest.

The catch and release took only a moment, the team didn't slow down, and the cars behind didn't even know what happened in front.

Suddenly, a bright color flashed in the woods ahead, like the gorgeous feathers of a pheasant.

However, this time the young man's face changed slightly, and his half-squinted eyes suddenly opened, their gazes were as sharp as electricity.

"who?"

With a loud shout from him, the entire convoy stopped together, no one gave orders, but all the animals were restrained at the same time, undisturbed and well-trained.

"Ah, don't be nervous, it's not Jie Dao."

A big girl emerged from the woods.The girl was tall and slender, with a slim waist and long legs. She was handsome and heroic, dressed in red and white, she looked like a chivalrous woman.

"That..." She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I'm lost and I want to ask for directions."

Seeing her generously appearing and explaining sincerely, the young man driving the car relaxed his face and returned to a relaxed posture, but put his hands in his sleeves, as if warming himself, and said with a smile: "Oh, so I was asking for directions, the girl is going where?"

The tall girl smiled and said, "That - Runcaodu, do you know?"

The young man's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a smile, "Is this..."

"Little sister, since you are going to Run Caodu, you must be going to Zhuoyu Villa?"

A woman's voice came from the mule cart behind, and a middle-aged beautiful woman in a cloth skirt got off the cart and walked forward gracefully.

The two women looked at each other. In terms of appearance, the tall girl who stopped the car was much younger. She was at the age of blooming spring flowers, and her appearance was naturally more prosperous. But in terms of charm, the beautiful woman who got off the car was far better. .Facing each other, the young girl looked weak.

The girl who stopped the car saluted and said, "I've seen this lady before, so what, I'm going to Zhuoyu Villa, and it's said that I'm going to gather at Runcaodu, right?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded with a smile, and said: "Exactly, we are also going to Zhuoyu Villa, since we are destined to go the same way, why don't we get in the car and have a ride?"

The girl immediately agreed: "If you can't ask for it, it's just to disturb Madam."

The beautiful woman took her to the second car, and there was also a young man waiting in front of the car.

The young man looked indifferent, bowed to his wife and gave way to the car.The tall girl felt that he looked a little familiar for some reason, and after a second look, it suddenly dawned on her that this handlebar style was very similar to the handlebar style of the head car.

This kind of similarity does not mean that they have similar looks, nor does it mean that they have similar temperaments. In fact, one is cold and the other is warm, and their temperaments are very different. Very dangerous feeling.

The beautiful woman saw that she noticed the handlebars, and said with a smile: "This is my son."

The girl was stunned, the appearance of the beautiful woman was not the slightest resemblance to this young man, could this also be mother and child?He had no choice but to politely say: "Your son is really a good-looking talent."

The beautiful woman said with a smile: "Not only him, every driver here is my son."

The girl snorted and swept across a row of carts. There are seven carts here, and each handlebar is an adult. How old is this beautiful woman?Immediately after reacting, he said, "Is it the adopted son of the moth?"

The beautiful woman nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly, I adopted them."

The girl nodded. Although it was strange for a woman to adopt so many godsons, it didn't mean that she couldn't do it. Everything happened in Jianghu.There are also people who take more than a hundred godsons.

The second car was full of large boxes, and there was not much room to sit. The beautiful woman raised her hand, lifted one box, and stacked it on top of the other.The girl hurriedly said: "I'll do it." She reached out to take the box, weighed it in her hand, glanced at the beautiful woman, and stacked the box on top of it. When the two boxes came into contact, there was a "bang" sound, like two big rocks. Collision, she praised: "Madam is very strong."

The beautiful woman smiled and said: "The eldest sister is born with supernatural power."

The two sat side by side in the car, and the convoy set off again.

The beautiful woman took out the washed fruit from the bag and handed it over, and said with a smile: "I heard that the accent of the girl is from a place in Daizhou in the west. It has been hard work coming to Yunzhou from afar. Are you here to ask for magic tools at Zhuoyu Villa?"

The girl said: "No, I'm here to visit a friend. I have a friend in Zhuoyu Villa who specially invited me to the banquet organized by him. I didn't want to come. But when I think about it, I don't want to come If you don't go, that's not enough buddies, so I'm here. Where's Madam?"

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "I'm here to see my daughter. My daughter is studying in Zhuoyu Villa. As a mother, I can't let it go, so I went up to see her."

"Oh... those boxes..."

The beautiful woman said: "It's all my daughter's dowry. My girl is spoiled and spoiled. I'm afraid she won't be used to living in the thatched grass on the mountain. She will bring every quilt, pillow, tent and towel with her."

The girl smiled heartily: "So it's the quilt, haha, just now I lifted the weight of the box, I thought it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, hahahaha..."

The two women talked and laughed at Yanyan, and you chatted about the customs of various places and the scenery on the mountain. They were as warm as relatives and nephews, but there was a common procedure for making friends in the rivers and lakes-so far. So far, the two have not communicated by name.

After walking on the mountain road for a while, the beautiful woman suddenly said, "Girl, have you gone to Jichun City?"

The girl smiled and said, "Ah, yes, I'm from there."

The beautiful woman said thoughtfully, "That's a little strange. There is a shop in Zhuoyu Villa in Jichun City, and there is a list of all the guests. As long as there is an invitation card, each guest will send a letter pointing directly at Runcaodu." Pointer, follow the pointer and you will never get lost. How can you still get lost, girl?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, and said: "Ah... that... I didn't see the shop. I'm a careless person, and I went up the mountain without entering the city."

The beautiful woman pondered: "So that's the case. But it's still very strange..."

The girl had blue veins on her forehead and said, "Why is it so strange?"

The beautiful woman said: "Then how do you know the word Runcao Ferry? This ferry was specially built to receive the guests of the sword casting conference. It didn't exist before. You can't find it on the map. You can't find it if you ask ordinary people." I can’t ask, since I know this place, I must have been specially pointed out by the people in the villa in the city, why do you say there is no pointer?”

The girl was silent.

"Also—" the beautiful woman said in a very brisk, young and playful voice: "The mountain roads here have all been refurbished. There is only one road that goes straight up the mountain, and you can walk up the mountain with your eyes closed. You can also get lost in this way. Isn't that weird?"

"Strange-strange...what the hell!"

The girl couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up, and said: "Oh my god, I'm suffocating to death. My old lady just said that it's not suitable for this kind of side-talking work, it's better to go straight."

With a wave of her hand, a sword light seemed to light up in the carriage, making the room white.

"I just see that your business is too strange! The things on the car are so heavy, what kind of gold and iron weapons are hidden? And from the driver to you, everyone has a murderous look around them. Are you going to find Zhuoyu Villa? Trouble? Tell me all about it, or my aunt will settle this matter for my brother here. Don’t even think about going up the mountain!"

　Thanks to Mrs. Richelieu for the Silver League, I am so flattered that I actually have the Silver League!
