Chapter 02: The show begins
"I, a little female soldier in the Shen family's kingdom, have been fighting for ten years, but I am only at the age of bunching my hair. ”
Shangguan Murong rested her fair-skinned legs on the dusty dresser beside the bed, while she held a bamboo slip in her hand, on which were carved her relevant materials.
"Sure enough, I'm a legendary heroine!"
Shangguan Murong directly experienced it from the bed with his waist strength, and took out the long sword placed in the scabbard next to the bed domineeringly, and kept waving it.
Click.
Inadvertently, the bronze mirror was suddenly knocked to the ground, and the sound also alarmed the maid sleeping peacefully under the bed.
"Ahem, nothing. ”
Fortunately, she was agile and hurriedly threw the long sword on the bed, and the bronze mirror was also helped up by the awakened maid.
Originally, Shangguan Murong didn't need a maid, but her father, Shangguan Feng, said that she was not too young, and she should have some beautiful temperament, and she couldn't fight and kill all day long, so she asked the little maid to teach her etiquette.
"Eh, you say, during the years I was not in Qingyun City, what fun things were there in the city. ”
Shangguan Murong pulled the little maid to the edge of the bed and sat down and asked.
"Not really, but I've heard that there's an old way at the Fenglai Inn who likes to tell stories there. ”
The little maid also listens to gossip on weekdays, but it is all trivial matters, and there is no need to talk about it with Shangguan Murong.
"Tell a story, okay, I'll go see him. ”
Shangguan Murong stood up, wearing a cloth robe, and tied up his hair.
Shangguan Murong's original face is quite good, so there is no need to dress up carefully, he is the kind of existence that will be arrested by rich and noble children when he walks on the street.
"Eh, Miss, the master told you not to go out, and the master said that he had something important to discuss with Miss. ”
The maid hurriedly stood up and replied softly.
"Of course I know about my father's affairs, isn't it just the two princes of the Shen family who are fighting. ”
Shangguan Murong didn't care, walked to the door and smiled at the maid, then grabbed the door and closed it gently.
The scope of Qingyun City is not wide, and there are only two main streets, and the Fenglai Inn, which is more famous, is naturally in it.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and even the physical fitness of the above official Murong was sweating.
"It's a good thing I didn't do those rouge gouaches, otherwise it would have been bad. ”
Shangguan Murong said secretly in his heart, and then looked at the inn that had already been surrounded by water, and immediately climbed to the surrounding heights, and soon came to the red fence on the second floor, just in time to be able to see everything below.
This scene was naturally seen by many people, and looking at Shangguan Murong's face, it was also a little familiar, but it was not recognizable for a while.
At this time, in the center of the inn, there was a Taoist priest with fairy wind and bones sitting cross-legged, with long pale hair, a rickety body, and a thin face with yellow muscles.
At this time, he was sitting in the stands without being shocked, closing his eyes and recuperating, which gave Shangguan Murong some displeasure.
After such a long time on the battlefield, her compassion has long been completely consumed by the deceitful battlefield, and she may be merciful sometimes, but it will certainly not be now.
"Hey, tell the story, I haven't heard it yet. ”
Shangguan Murong leaned against the red pillar on the side and shouted below.
"Why is this person so ignorant of the rules, doesn't he know that he has to be in the sky to tell the story?"
When the people below heard Shangguan Murong shouting like this, they immediately frowned.
"The sun is in the sky?hahaha, for the first time, I heard that things need to be done according to the point in time, which does not represent the sky or the earth, where are there so many rules. ”
Shangguan Murong said with a smile, soldiers are not tired of cheating, where can there be so many rules.
"Okay, let's advance today's story, she's right. ”
Lao Dao opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at Shangguan Murong with a fine light, then stood up and slowly said to the surrounding visitors.
"Today, I'm going to tell you about a battle between the royal family and the immortal cultivators. ”
Lao Dao walked on the edge of the blanketed stands with small steps, and soon brought the emotions around him into the right track.
Shangguan Murong was naturally also attracted by this topic, after all, the immortal cultivator can be said to be the most powerful existence, to ensure the stability of one side and the existence of rebellion on the other side, but unfortunately, she did not have that opportunity to meet.
"It is said that once upon a time, there was a well-known force at home and abroad on a mountain, quite powerful, and it could be described as a local overlord.
However, due to his poor operation and the mistakes of internal management, it was on the verge of extinction.
It was already powerless, but at this time, another extremely powerful royal family stood up and put forward the idea of taking this force into the bag.
This force is the end of the crossbow, so he can only agree, but in front of him, there are dozens of extremely old royal families, if the royal family wants to truly recover this immortal cultivation force, they must defeat these dozens of royal families. (Abridged version)
Lao Dao paused, and then spoke in a tone full of doubt.
"Do you know how much this royal family will pay to subdue this immortal cultivator family next?"
Lao Dao smiled and looked around at the crowd, but Shangguan Murong felt that he had deliberately stayed on himself for a long time.
"Since he dares to take over, it means that the strength must be very strong, but the dozens of royal families on the other side are definitely not weak, I guess, at least half of the background. ”
Shangguan Murong said in a loud voice.
There is no war without losses, and it is not diplomacy, and if they all meet each other, there is no reason for reconciliation.
"Well, that's good. ”
Someone immediately seconded the argument, just from a few words of the old way, it can indeed only be so.
"Wrong, the royal family didn't waste a single soldier, and defeated all the royal family without even seeing each other, relying not on manpower, but on immortal power. ”
Seeing that everyone's faces were full of doubts, Lao Dao also told the reason.
"Immortal power, that's right, after all, if you dare to recover the immortal cultivation power, the immortal cultivator behind it must also be extremely strong. ”
Shangguan Murong nodded.
"In that battle, hundreds of immortal cultivators were implicated, and they were ......"
Lao Dao was about to continue speaking, but Shangguan Murong frowned and interrupted him.
"Old-fashioned, storytelling should also be told according to the actual situation, there is no need to brag so much. ”
It's not that Shangguan Murong boasts, she has already fought all over the Shen family's royal land over the years, not to mention immortal cultivators, she hasn't even seen a single hair, and she really doesn't believe the melee of hundreds of immortal cultivators.
"Oh, dare to ask where Poor Dao boasts, and where is he dissatisfied with Miss's heart?"
Lao Dao was not angry, and asked rhetorically.
Shangguan Murong was also unambiguous, and directly said what she thought was impossible, but who would have thought that in exchange for Lao Dao's hilarious laughter.
"It's ridiculous, I thought you were a man of credibility when I said that, but now it seems that you are a frog at the bottom of a well. ”
Lao Dao mocked, although Shangguan Murong's face was not good-looking, he was not really angry.
The saying that soldiers do not hurt the people has long been engraved in her bones, so she can only listen to the old Tao.
"Tell me, what else do you know about the Shen family's kingdom. ”
Lao Dao stopped laughing and said to Shangguan Murong.
"Sun, Liu, and Yu. ”
The goal of the war for many years is basically them, and this is extremely clear.
"Then what else do you know besides these three clans?"
Lao Dao continued to ask.
Shangguan Murong was silent, she knew the situation outside the three clans, it was the immortal cultivation sect that everyone dreamed of entering, the Lingyun Sect.
But Shangguan Murong knew even more that if she continued to answer, this old Taoist would inevitably continue to ask, and outside of Lingyun Sect, she didn't know at all.
"The world you know is only a corner, and why can you be so sure that the frog at the bottom of the well of the poor road has ever been wrong, or has you then retorted to me with that narrow word?"
Lao Dao didn't give Shangguan Murong face at all, but Shangguan Murong really didn't need this kind of face.
"Little girl, don't guess everything with a mortal mind now. ”
Lao Dao said with a smile.
"It seems that this is too arrogant and I have to correct it now, thank you ......"
Shangguan Murong looked down in surprise, and his eyes suddenly scanned around, but he didn't find the rickety figure.
"Gone. ”
Shangguan Murong was a little shocked, but at this time, outside the door of the Fenglai Inn, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves stampeding.
