Section 024 Katana
"Ah Jiu, what did you say to the prince of Wei Guo?"
When Han Ling and Xu Shuxuan met, the Yang family was watching from a distance under a willow tree a hundred steps away, and every minute of waiting here was torment for her, especially when she smelled a smell of blood.
Yang had also practiced martial arts, and had a keen sense of smell and hearing, and she knew where the smell of blood came from.
Just now, there was a desperate fight in the woods not far from the Orchid Pavilion.
Although there are swordsmen fighting or vendetta for fame every day on the rivers and lakes, but, according to Yang's judgment, the fight just now is definitely not a simple grudge and revenge between the knights of the rivers and lakes, and those assassins must be fighting for this prince of Wei, Xu Shuxuan.
Yang had only heard of this Wei prince's talent, amazing talent, not only brilliant writing, but also very good at the art of war strategy and tricks, when the Yang army repelled the Mongolian iron cavalry, it was the use of a machine arrow that he invented that could shoot thousands of miles away, but she had never heard that this young man with the name of genius had a feud with anyone.
Although he is famous all over the world, few people can see him, and it is rumored that he rarely goes out because of his poor health, and in the eyes of the world, this young man is beyond the world and has no quarrel with the world.
For such a beautiful and flawless teenager, who would want to take his life?
But in any case, getting involved in such right and wrong is not good for you after all.
Yang's worries, Han Ling saw in her eyes, she said: "Mother, from now on, we have to be more careful wherever we go, I borrowed two things from the prince of Wei Guo, and I will come to pick them up tomorrow, and after getting it, we will go to Fengyang Mansion immediately, okay?" ”
"What did you borrow from him?" Yang asked suspiciously.
Han Ling said: "Ah Jiu can't say it now, this is a secret for the prince of Wei State, if Ah Jiu can't keep the secret for him, he will be killed, mother, we have to ask for help, but we can't harm the benefactor, right?" ”
Yang was stunned, and a trace of guilt appeared on his face: "Okay, my mother doesn't ask." Let's go back then! ”
"No, Ah Jiu has one more thing to do." Han Ling looked at Yang and said, "Mother, you can take me to find a good pharmacy, okay?" Ah Jiu wanted to buy some medicine. ”
Yang agreed to Han Ling, and she took Han Ling to the most prosperous street in the east of the city, which was lined with shops and peddlers everywhere.
In order not to be noticed, Yang abandoned the carriage and walked through the streets. Because of Yang's extraordinary appearance, no matter where he goes, he will attract people's attention, so Han Lingjian and both of them wear hats, one can cover the wind, and the other can hide their appearance.
At this time, it was almost three o'clock, the sun was shining warmly on his body, Han Ling could see the different groups of people coming and going on the street through the light veil, there were many carriages covered by treasure cherry blossoms driving leisurely on the street, the horses were light hooves, and the sound of ringing bells was endless.
One look at these carriages tells you that their owners are extraordinary. The most important thing in the capital is the children of the aristocracy, especially the young sons from the scholarly family, who like to get together to exchange poetry and wine, and compete for talents.
So it's not at all surprising to see so many ornate carriages driving the streets.
What made Han Ling feel strange was that these carriages all seemed to be driving in the same direction.
"Mother, it seems that today's streets are very unusual, as if something big is happening?" Han Ling couldn't help but ask.
Yang didn't know either, so she shook her head and didn't answer.
"This lady must rarely go out, today is a good day to hold a literary competition in the Baume & Mercier Pavilion, and those sons of the family go there to participate in the competition."
A middle-aged man who set up a stall said with a smile on his face, and hurriedly took a windmill from his stall and handed it to Han Ling, coaxing: "Miss, buy a windmill and go play!" It's fun! ”
Han Ling couldn't hear what the middle-aged man was saying at this moment, and her thoughts had already flown to the "Celebrity Pavilion" that the middle-aged man was talking about.
Yes, she remembered that there was a particularly famous school hall in the capital, called the "Celebrity and Mercier" Pavilion, and the people gathered in this academy were usually the children of the family who were famous in their talents, and this Celebrity Hall would hold a literary competition once or twice a year, if anyone could win the championship in this competition, then his reputation in the future would be quite influential.
If it is a very famous literati, it will be admired by thousands of people, and the wise men of the world want to make friends with it, and once this literati is recognized by a high-powered minister, then one day he will become an official in the court, and the day of soaring will be just around the corner.
Therefore, those scholars who boast of their talents and are full of revenge will try their best to win the opportunity to compete in the Wenhui competition, wanting to win the championship in one fell swoop and become famous.
But why is the tournament held at this time?
My mother must be very sad when she hears it! Once she also participated in the Wenhui competition in the Baume & Mercier Pavilion, and became famous in one fell swoop, becoming a very famous figure in the capital, and her beauty in the city also spread from that time.
But now that her grandfather is unjustly imprisoned, she once wanted to ask students all over the world to redress her grievances...... Now that I think about it, probably not many people remember her anymore! After all, she has been married to a wife, retired to the inner house, and disappeared for many years.
"Madame, ma'am, do you want this windmill or not? Do you hear me? ”
"What's wrong with this man? Why are you stupid? ”
Hearing the disdainful complaints of the vendors setting up the stalls, Han Ling woke up suddenly, and saw that the Yang family was also in a daze, so he pulled the Yang family and urged: "Mother, let's go buy medicine!" ”
She had to distract Yang so that she wouldn't sink into disappointment and grief again.
Yang woke up, hurriedly took Han Ling's hand and turned around and walked across the street, but unexpectedly, he bumped into a person head-on.
"I'm sorry......" Yang hurriedly apologized, the man didn't say anything, glanced at Yang, and went straight away.
But just as the man passed by Yang's side, Han Ling's pupils shrank suddenly.
Her gaze was fixed on the man's waist.
The man's outfit is the same as ordinary people, but there is a knife wrapped in leather hanging from his waist, which is not surprising, many of the knights love to use knives, but the knife that this person is equipped with is very special.
Han Ling's sharp eyes saw that there was a dark pattern on the handle of the knife, and this dark pattern was very familiar to her.
That's the Katana of the Toei ninja!
Seeing this katana, Han Ling naturally thought of Toyotomi Taiichi.
Think of that person's eccentric, complex and changeable temperament.
Thinking of the agreement he reached with Zhu Chengyun on the terms she offered.
Thinking of the last time he took her back to the capital.
Even thought that she did not hesitate to plunge a sword into the back of his heart when she was dying.
In fact, she still can't figure out how King Jing ascended to the throne, and when did he meet Toyotomi Taiichi?
And Toyotomi Taiichi, she lived with him for two years in her previous life, but she never understood his mind and didn't know what he wanted?
As the son of Sekihaku, the country of the rising sun, his power has overshadowed the emperor of the country of the rising sun, but in the end he actually killed his father, and even killed the emperor of the country of the rising sun, so that all the princes are the only one.
He became the most powerful man in the Land of the Rising Sun, however, he seemed to be not satisfied, and would often go on a killing spree at his subordinates for the slightest disadvantage of their actions.
Human life is like mustard in his eyes, whether it is a man of great eyes or his kindred.
Killing had become something he was accustomed to.
And such a ruthless, unrighteous and cruel man would help Zhu Chengyun to ascend to the throne in order to get her alone, and would give up taking Nanjing City for her, and finally even accompanied her to the capital without a single soldier for her, and even buried his life in this place that did not belong to his hometown.
Living with such a person, her heart is naturally full of haze and fear, but this man has never scolded her, he is as cruel as a demon king in front of others, every time he faces her, he will be like a helpless child, keep begging her for forgiveness, begging her to be happy, and begging her to accept the qiē he gave.
He once said something like this: "Ah Ling, I have no relatives, no friends, no home, I only have you, only when I am with you, I can feel that I am truly alive." ”
"I'm sorry, Ah Ling, I know that you and King Jing have a very good relationship, but if I can't see you for a day, I won't be able to live, I know I'm selfish, but I can't control myself, I just want to see you, I can see you every day......"
"Ah Ling, even if you kill me with your own hands one day, I won't blame you, because this is the ...... I owe you"
"I'm sorry, this is the ...... I owe you"
What does it owe her? In her memory, the man seemed to be saying the same thing over and over again: "I'm sorry, please forgive me." I wouldn't have been able to live without you. ”
The memories of his previous life resurfaced in his mind, and Han Ling suddenly thought, when did Toyotomi Taiichi come to Dajiao?
Why are there people with katanas in the capital? Is this person a Toei samurai?
When Han Ling thought about these questions, that person had already disappeared into the crowd.
Yang took her hand and came to the door of a pharmacy called "Hechun Hall" across the street.
