In the woods......
Zhong Liwu's body fell slightly, his bright silver armor hidden in the trees, and his eyes as sharp as a falcon swept slightly, taking in the two figures by the stream.
It was two women, one was slightly taller, slightly darker, with a moon-white headscarf wrapped around her head, wearing a white straight-necked placket, and under it was a cross-collared skirt, the upper body was plain white of the same color as the gown, and the lower body was a clean and clear moon white, wrapping the concave and convex figure, although the color was a little monotonous, but faintly revealing a sense of simplicity.
At this time, she was packing her luggage and placing them on the backs of the two horses next to her.
The other woman was even more petite, her long black hair was simply tied behind her back, and the hair on her forehead was neatly parted from side to side, revealing a smooth and white forehead, however, her face was covered with a white veil, revealing only slender eyebrows and a pair of black jade-like eyes.
Her dress seems to be more sedate than that of another woman, wearing a black and white jacket skirt with a collar on the upper body, the main body is white, the edge of the neckline has a wide inky camellia pattern, connected by branches, the composition is simple and graceful, extending to the entire collar, and the lower body is a wide black pleated skirt.
Although the dress of the woman who is slightly taller than the body type, the dress of another woman has a simple pattern pattern, but because of its monotonous and heavy black and white color, it looks a little old-fashioned, giving this petite woman who looks slender on the outside has an inexplicable calm temperament.
But what the petite masked girl was doing surprised Zhong Liwu - she was sharpening a wooden sword.
Her movements seemed skillful, and in a few moments, a sharpened wooden sword appeared on the slender and petite palm.
The blade is straight, and the width of the blade is wider than that of a normal long sword, but considering the weight of the wood, it is not too strange, and there is no thickened design such as a gauntlet at the transition between the hilt and the blade, so that the thickness of the hilt is just right for people to hold comfortably, and the end of the hilt is simply truncated, and then the woman slightly handles the sharp lines of the truncated part.
It was such a simple wooden sword, which was not beautiful at all, and the strange masked girl looked at it slightly, then nodded with satisfaction, and then put it on the campfire to bake, using the heat of the fire to remove the moisture from the wood, making the straight wooden sword harder and stronger.
Seeing Zhong Liwu's feeling was a little strange, he felt a little sympathy for this masked girl in his heart, obviously it seemed that he liked swords very much, but he could only use this simple wooden sword to satisfy his little wish......
At this time, although he was a little curious about the reason for the appearance of two mysterious women in this wilderness, Zhong Liwu no longer thought that these two women would be some Mo family rebels.
After all, the only weapons on the two women seemed to be the bow and arrow hanging from their horses, and the short sword at the waist of the slightly taller woman......
When they were out of the house, the two women brought these things, and to be honest, it wasn't a big deal......
As for the wooden sword in the girl's hand...... In Zhong Li's eyes, it can only be regarded as a toy......
However, Zhong Liwu still planned to observe it again, because it was really strange for two women to appear in this wilderness......
However, just when Zhong Liwu was thinking so, he found that the masked girl who was drying the wooden sword with a bonfire suddenly raised her head and glanced at her lightly.
Although it was just a glance, it surprised Zhong Liwu, with his eyesight, he could naturally see that those black jade-like eyes swept over his hiding place, although he couldn't see the change in his expression, but it was enough for Zhong Liwu to understand that the other party already knew his own existence.
As a result, a strange thought emerged in Zhong Liwu's heart: it seems that ...... The wooden sword in the girl's hand is not just a toy......
Now that he had been discovered, Zhong Liwu was no longer embarrassed to hide, and with a slight leap, the silver foot armor stepped on the grass by the stream and landed in front of the two women.
"I'm sorry for the surprise." Zhong Limo clenched his fists and said.
Looking at the handsome man in beautiful silver armor in front of her, the masked girl looked at her eyes slightly, and asked, her voice was slightly lower than that of an ordinary woman, and she was a little immature: "You are the emperor's ** person?" β
"Yes." Zhong Liwu nodded, the corner of his eyes swept slightly over the slightly taller woman next to him, at this time, the woman with a headscarf wrapped around her head had already put down her luggage and looked at herself vigilantly.
Such a hostile expression made Zhong Liwu's heart sink slightly: Could it be that they are really related to the rebels of the Mo family......?
Thinking of the masked girl in front of him who could see his position at a glance, Zhong Liwu's heart began to become more and more vigilant, and his left hand subconsciously supported the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
"The reputation of the emperor ** is not very good......" The masked girl didn't look at Zhong Liwu again, but just concentrated on continuing to bake the wooden sword in her hand on the fire, and didn't seem to be nervous because of Zhong Liwu's movements.
And hearing this, Zhong Liwu's face froze, as an imperial lieutenant who has been on the front line of work all the year round, he naturally knows the faces of some imperial soldiers, not to mention far away, just take Zhong Liwu's current boss, such a person, treacherous and cunning, often in the name of official business.
Seriously, in such a deserted place, two women meet an imperial soldier, and it should be strange if these two women are not guarded.
"Ahem......" Zhong Liwu coughed a few times, although he was embarrassed, but he didn't have the idea of letting go, because even from the strength of the masked girl just now, Zhong Liwu understood that these two women were by no means ordinary people.
So, Zhong Liwu decided not to entangle anymore, and said straightforwardly: "I have already reported my name in the next, and please also tell the two of you the identity of the next two." β
"Hmph......" the turban woman snorted coldly, "The Imperial soldiers are so majestic!" β
"Shan." The masked girl called out the hijab woman's name and shook her head slightly.
"Yes." The turbaned woman known as "Shan" still looked a little resentful, but she still obeyed the masked girl's wishes and stopped talking.
Just looking at that vigilant look, the attitude doesn't seem to improve......
Silently watching the interaction between the two women, Zhong Liwu determined that this masked girl seemed to have a higher status among the two, so he focused his attention on the girl in front of him and asked, "Can the girl tell me the identities of the next two." β
"Mountain willow." The masked girl's attention still didn't seem to be focused on Zhong Liwu's body after talking to Shan, her eyes like black jade looked intently at the wooden sword baked on the bonfire, and her focused demeanor almost made Zhong Liwu think that the girl was not talking to herself, "My name is Shanliu." β
