Chapter 146: Horizontal Knife Zhengcang
After the sunset, Cui Hanzhang was a little trance-like, Yunlan was sitting on horseback in white, already tall and graceful, at this time, with the undulating curve of the horse's back becoming more exquisite, the whole person became more and more mature, like a peach.
Yun Lan heard in the palace that Cui Hanzhang had come to Yushan with the people of the Beihu Mission, thinking that he would definitely stay at the horse farm in the heavy rain last night, so he seized the opportunity the next day and tried his best to beg Queen Xiao to come to the horse farm to practice riding, in order to meet him here.
At this time, Yelu Jingcheng was shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning, and looked at the beautiful woman in a daze.
"This kind of beauty is really amazing." Yelu Jingcheng muttered to himself, he even had an intuition that the person in front of him was the girl in the carriage that he met by chance that night.
Although he traveled in casual clothes, Yun Lan was accompanied by three or five golden feather guards in addition to the maid Lu Yun, looking at his body and steady steps, his temples were bulging, and he must be a master of both internal and external cultivation. When Yun Lan saw Cui Hanzhang, she beckoned him from afar and called him forward.
"The princess is here to practice equestrianism?"
As soon as the words came out, Yun Lan was angry, but it was not easy to attack. Lu Yun next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and said directly: "Is Commander Cui really stupid or is he pretending to be stupid?" Naturally, my princess is here to find you. ”
"Green Cloud! Don't be rude! Yun Lan interrupted and didn't let her continue, while Lu Yun pouted with an aggrieved look.
"It's really unfortunate that I was just about to take the people from the Beihu Mission back to the city. The eldest lady of the Lingwu Hou family was frightened and moved the fetus, and returned to the city in the rain last night, and when I returned to the city to settle the Beihu people, I was going to visit the Hou Mansion. ”
"Why are you like that? There is no affection at all, the princess has worked hard to find the horse farm out of the palace, you are leaving, sincerely, right? Lu Yun really couldn't stand it, and he felt ten thousand grievances for the princess in his heart, and couldn't help but reprimand him.
Yun Lan did take a lot of effort to get out of the palace and rush to see him at the racecourse, but when she saw that he was about to return to the city, she didn't know what to say for a while, and her eyes couldn't help but moisten, and her heart was full of pain.
Cui Hanzhang couldn't resist the watery look in her eyes as soon as he saw it, so he had to bring out the incident of Mr. Xin Yi, the leader of the Beihu Mission, who was infected with wind and cold, and explained that the horse farm lacked doctors and medicines, so he could only go back to the city to see a doctor. Cui Hanzhang really didn't want the people of the Beihu Mission to continue to stay in Yushan Racecourse, after all, the southern foot of Yushan was a vast area, and he couldn't find anyone for half a day if he drilled into the woods and grass, and now that the war between the two countries has eased up after all, it is troublesome for this group of people to be handled well. At this time, Lingwu Hou was not there, and everything was pointed to him to deal with, so naturally he didn't dare to slack off.
"Yun Lan don't cry, it's because I'm stupid and can't speak, the horse farm is too simple, let's go back to the city together to visit Linwushan in the Hou Mansion, I heard last night that she was frightened." Cui Hanzhang couldn't stand the grace of the beauty the most, and even coaxed and deceived Yun Lan to retract the tears rolling in her eyes.
"It's just that the palace is in a hurry, and I haven't prepared a gift to take advantage of, so how to go to the Hou Mansion as a guest." Yun Lan actually wanted to leave immediately, but the reserve of her daughter's family made her hesitate slightly, but she still had to shirk it.
"Aren't the things in the warehouse of Xiaolianzhuang all good things put by the princess, just pick a few pieces, Bai Yanqiu and Lin Wushan are not outsiders, and the courtesy is light and affectionate!" Cui Hanzhang's words dispelled her concerns.
One second he was still crying, and the next second he was talking and laughing, and Xu Qingfeng was waiting in the distance with Beihu and his party.
This scene fell in Yelu Jingcheng's eyes, and he was even more envious, and then he had the urge to come forward and get acquainted, but before he could act, Xu Qingfeng stopped in front of him, "Yelu Gongzi is better to wait here." ”
Yelu Jingcheng suddenly felt like eating a dead fly, how uncomfortable it was, how uncomfortable it was, it was really a bad scenery. Although he couldn't step forward, he still asked: "Guard Xu, dare to ask which girl it is, so beautiful and refined!" ”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't embarrass the little ones." Xu Qingfeng didn't have a good face for him.
"But the girl who was escorted by Guard Xu that night?" Yelu Jingcheng asked tentatively.
"Look at the two of them, although they sit on two horses, their words and demeanors are intimate, but Vice Envoy Cui is a good match?"
Xu Qingfeng immediately widened his eyes and scolded: "Bold! ”
"Kindly remind me again, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, otherwise you won't know how to die."
Xu Guards may not know that he has a good memory and never forgets everything, especially the people he has seen and the voices he has heard. Yelu Jingcheng took what he said as a deaf ear and didn't pay attention to it.
Xu Qingfeng's brain was buzzing with these words, and he felt that his qi and blood were surging upward, and before he could have a seizure, Yelu Jingcheng slid down and flashed out, and shouted from afar: "Deputy Envoy Cui is not kind, he only cares about meeting with the beautiful woman and leaving us aside, how can he say that, yes, heavy color and light friends!" ”
Cui Hanzhang and Princess Yunlan looked back when they heard the voice, only to see Yelu Jingcheng swaggering straight over, Yun Lan hurriedly took the cloak handed over by Luyun and put it on, how could the princess's golden body let foreigners look at it at will.
"Tang Tu Beauty, Xiao Keye Lu Jingcheng is so polite!"
Yun Lan bowed slightly on the horse as a salute, and did not speak.
Cui Hanzhang looked his eyes up and down, but he didn't think it was funny, and teased: "You are an interesting person, have you heard of Handan toddlers?" A Beihu person actually learned the etiquette of our Shenguang Dynasty, but it is also good, but it is inconvenient for the girl's family to see a foreign man, so the Yelu envoy should go back with me! ”
Cui Hanzhang didn't wait for him to agree, his long arm grabbed Yelu Jingcheng's neck and dragged him back, and immediately the two girls looked funny and couldn't help but giggle.
"Watch him!"
Cui Hanzhang instructed Xu Qingfeng to keep a close watch on the people of the mission, so as not to get lost and come to us again.
Cui Hanzhang said something, but Xin Yipi didn't smile, never said a word, just stared at the pipe and Mars. Cui Hanzhang was sure that Xin Yi was the man in black who trespassed on Frunze last night, but his smoking gun should have been broken, why was it completely undamaged after a night?
Just looking at his ruddy face and steady steps, he didn't look like an injured person at all, Cui Hanzhang knew that there must be something strange in it, but he couldn't expose it for a while.
"Looks like I'll have to give him a try!" Cui Hanzhang made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face.
Since there were people from the Beihu delegation with him, Cui Hanzhang asked people to borrow a carriage for Princess Yunlan to ride, and after Yunlan got on the car, he patted the seat next to him and motioned for Cui Hanzhang to come up and sit together.
Cui Hanzhang saw the delegation looking at them blankly, and suddenly felt that he couldn't lose his etiquette, so he could only smile helplessly and shake his head. Even if the people of the Beihu Mission didn't know Yun Lan's identity at this time, they would inevitably laugh at their rudeness when they knew it in the future, and they even looked down on Her Royal Highness the princess and gave it to the courtiers privately.
When the curtain fell, a fleeting sadness appeared on Princess Yunlan's face. The courtesy of the monarch and the minister has always been between the two.
Cui Hanzhang rode a horse to accompany the carriage, and the two chatted, "I heard from my grandmother in Shouxi Palace that Mrs. Lin is happy, and Mrs. Bai sent someone into the palace to report the good news, don't be frightened this time." ”
"Happy? This is a big deal, congratulations! They must have been married for three months, and according to the days, it should be joyful. Otherwise, the people of Mantai Kangcheng should laugh at Bai Yanqiu again. Cui Hanzhang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the news, Lingwu Hou was thin, and he thought that when he arrived at Bai Yanqiu's generation, he would have to change his path.
It's just that the second half of the sentence in my heart has not been spoken, "If it is Xiaobai's work this time, I have to pick up a layer of skin from him when I go back." ”
Tuoba Chuxiong had already reported that there were two missing people in the mission, and as a result, Xin Yi was just on horseback with his eyes closed and his soul wandering out of the world, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. He was so anxious that Tuoba Chuxiong didn't know what to do, and he was also anxious about Yelu Jingcheng, scratching his ears and cheeks and fidgeting, if it weren't for Xu Qingfeng taking care of him closely, he would have already caught up with the carriage in front at this time.
The last chance encounter was a quick glimpse of the true face, and today it was only a glance from a distance, and the heart-pounding feeling was the same, and he intuitively believed that it was the same person. Thinking about his Yelu Jingcheng's identity, he has never been so cold, the more he is stopped in the distance and can't get closer, the more he can't restrain himself, and he is determined to seize the opportunity to open her fence and see her face.
Xu Qingfeng took out his saber and wiped it carefully, as long as Yelu Jingcheng dared to step forward presumptuously, he didn't care about cutting down, as for whether he would be punished, he didn't care at all, because in his heart, Beihu barbarians have never been a good thing.
The knife is a standard horizontal knife in the Shenguang Army, but his material is very rare, and the handle is engraved with the words "Zhengcang", which is made of Bingtan cold iron knife mixed with Valen steel. Before the Northern Expedition began, Liu Zhilun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came forward to invite the sword-casting master Fengbeard to forge a batch of horizontal knives, and the enthusiasm was difficult to lead the three apprentices, which lasted more than a month and cast one hundred and eight standard horizontal knives, each of which can be called a classic, attracting people from all walks of life in the army to scramble, Xu Qingfeng's Zhengcang knife is a gift from Cui Hanzhang, and he is invincible in the battle against Beihu.
Zhengcang is often taken out by him to wipe, the maintenance is excellent, the knife surface is glowing with a ghostly light, slightly red, if you understand the knife person will be able to see that the knife surface is actually wrapped in a layer of blood, which is the characteristic of drinking blood, if this layer of blood can be absorbed and fused by the knife surface, the quality of the horizontal knife Zhengcang will be on a higher level.
Yelu Jingcheng saw the horizontal knife glowing with a ghostly light, and knew that Xu Qingfeng was not joking, this person looked at it and saw that the lives of the people who had passed through it were innumerable, the killing spirit was too heavy, and he was even more loyal to Cui Hanzhang, and he really dared to use a knife to cut people if he didn't make it.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I can only outwit this matter, Yelu Jingcheng clenched the reins and turned the horse's head to talk to Xin Yi. "Xinyi ghost has a lot of ideas, let him help this king think about how to please the beauty."
Xu Qingfeng's Zhengcang horizontal knife was not withdrawn after it was unsheathed, which made Tuoba Chuxiong behind him look hot, and couldn't help but catch up and say, "Good knife!" ”
"If this layer of blood and qi can be fused and absorbed, it is estimated that this knife will be spiritual, and it may not be."
"You know knives?"
Although Xu Qingfeng has a bad impression of Yelu Jingcheng, he still has some appreciation for Tuoba Chuxiong, if it is not for the hostile position, I believe that the two can drink and talk. Although he lost to himself at the partridge banquet at the beginning, but afterwards the two of them fought in private, Tuoba Chuxiong was right, he was underestimated at the partridge banquet, and he was too stubborn in some flashy tricks, and when he fought again, his strength should not be underestimated, especially after abandoning the flashy moves, he was really a difficult opponent.
"I don't understand! But there is an old blacksmith in my clan who said that weapons also have spirits, but they must be connected with the master's mind, and all the heirloom swords and famous swords have met the master who opened the psychics, and I see that your horizontal knife seems to have drunk blood. "Tuoba Chuxiong is like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, and he told them all truthfully.
"Since Zhengcang opened the front, he has killed 500 people from the Northern Hu Barbarians!" Xu Qingfeng danced a knife flower with one hand, and in an instant, the cold light overflowed, and the knife aura was cold, and then he withdrew the scabbard.
One sentence choked Tuoba Chuxiong very lightly, and it turned out that he was from the Beihu tribe, if it weren't for Xu Qingfeng saying this, if it was someone else's words, Tuoba Chuxiong would have to turn his face on the spot.
