Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Landscape That Doesn't Belong to Me
There were guards at the mouth of the valley in front of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, which made everyone nervous. Only Xue Qing knew that these were just low-level disciples, and they appeared here only to warn and paralyze the enemy.
The eldest lady didn't get off the horse, took out a token and lit it up, and then rushed over directly, and those disciples didn't stop it. Seeing this, Xia Hongying and the others immediately followed.
Passed the first line of defense so smoothly, some people can't help but wonder, is Wanjian Villa just a vain name? It's just that how do they know that Xue Qing took out the owner's token, and seeing the token is like seeing the owner, they are just the last disciples, where do they dare to stop it. And even if they don't have tokens, they will let them go after a simple inquiry, and then report to the shonai, and the guards behind will choose a strategy according to the opponent's situation.
When passing the second guard, Xue Qing dismounted, and after seeing the token she took out, the guard saluted and let her go.
At this time, Xue Qing didn't care anymore, there was nothing to hide, and when it came to the day of the sword test conference, she couldn't hide it, and it was not bad for them to know the truth a few days earlier. She didn't want to waste any more time, she wanted to get rid of the ice flame as soon as possible through this method, and after coming out for so long, she also missed her father.
By the time a few people came to the third line of defense, it was obviously different. Although there were still eight people standing alone, it gave people a sense of oppression, and they could feel that there were ambushes and traps arranged around.
The inspection here is also much stricter than before, and the leading guard first carefully checked Xue Qing's token, and then proposed to have a few tricks with Xue Qing. Xue Qing danced twice, and the leader saluted Xue Qing, and then let her pass, but the others were stopped.
Xue Qing said unhappily: "They were all brought by me." ”
The leader Zhengse said: "Miss, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”
Xue Qing said disdainfully: "Can't my words be considered rules?" There's the next level, what are you worried about? ”
"This ......" The leader hesitated, but chose to let go.
The subsequent road was not easy to walk, not only did the road become smaller, but there were also many forks, and I didn't know how many turns I saw the sentry again.
From the moment Xue Qing walked into the mountain, Bing Yan had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he knew every road, and every turn of Xue Qing was in his expectation. The moment Xue Qing stopped, he instinctively thought that there was a shortcut there. After walking for another while, he began to have bouts of headaches and ringing in his ears.
After being stopped by the guards, Xue Qing turned to Xia Hongying and the others, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to fight?" ”
This sentence was inexplicable, but Xia Hongying's reaction was still very fast, and she replied: "If you can not fight, of course it is better not to fight." ”
Xue Qing smiled: "That's what I mean, too." She turned to the guard again, held up the token, and said, "You can't stop me, and you can't be the master." Call the person on duty today to come out, whether it's Sai Yong or Gu Yibo, and let him come to see me. ”
"Yes, please wait, miss." The guards here are all first-class disciples, and they are also people who understand. The leader already felt that the woman in front of her was familiar, plus she took out the owner's token, and she knew so much about the villa, who else could there be besides the eldest lady.
It's just that how could this eldest lady appear here with a group of outsiders, and the people in this village don't take this avenue, and there is a special route, how can this young lady ...... However, the owner of the village said that anyone who wants to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Villa from this road has only two ways: one is to verify the identity, prove that it is a person in the village or a person invited by the owner; Another way is to kill it, but there are big disciples stationed here every day, and ordinary people really don't have that ability.
"Hahaha, I thought who dared to be so arrogant......" Before I saw him, the voice arrived first, and then a figure fell in front of several people, this person is tall and tall, it is Sai Yong.
Sai Yong glanced at Xue Qing and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you are willing to come back." At this time, Sai Yong saw Bingyan again, and couldn't help but mock: "Fifth brother, what have you been doing since you disappeared for four years, it seems that you have to go out in person to invite you back." ”
"Fifth brother", "junior sister", these words all stimulated Bingyan, although he couldn't understand what Sai Yong was saying, but he knew that these words were said to him by Sai Yong.
At this time, Xia Hongying understood that Xue Qing was a person from Wanjian Villa, so she knew so well about the sword trial conference. And Bingyan is also a person from Ten Thousand Swords Villa, but for some reason, he doesn't remember the past. Xia Hongying's eyes narrowed, Bing Yan's surname is Huangfu, and he is from Wanjian Villa, is it really just a coincidence?
Xue Qing also smiled: "Sai Yong, I can't beat you." Are you going to ask me to go up the mountain, or are you going to tie me up? ”
"How dare I tie you up! Let's go, eldest lady, you came at the right time, just in time to accompany your father-in-law to dinner and surprise your father-in-law. ”
Xue Qing pouted her head and said, "What about them?" ”
"How dare I slack off on the people brought by your eldest lady?" Sai Yong stepped forward and arched his hand at Xia Hongying, "This way, please!" ”
The group followed Saiyong and walked along the path, gradually seeing a wider road, with high-quality trees erected on both sides, and there was a lot of grass under the trees, some of which had beautiful flowers.
At the end of the road, there was an open space, and the scenery was similar to before, only dozens of feet higher. After that open space, you can see a large compound standing. Walking in again, you can see the four big characters of "Wanjian Villa" hanging above the courtyard gate. If you look closely, it's a sprawling complex that stretches back against the mountain.
When he walked this section of the road, Bing Yan's headache was even worse, and when he saw the courtyard and the four big words "Ten Thousand Swords Villa", it was as if a string of fireworks exploded in his brain, and a large string of information gushed out, exceeding the capacity of his brain, hitting his entire head, and causing him to have a splitting headache.
When he walked to the gate of Ten Thousand Swords Villa, Bingyan couldn't restrain himself anymore and began to roll with his head in his hands.
"Ice Flame!" Xue Qing finally couldn't bear it and stepped forward to help him. But at this moment, his head hurts so much that he can't even take care of his beloved woman. Xue Qing was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "You Lie, Gu Yibo, you come out for me!" ”
The weather at the end of April was already relatively warm, and Xia Hongying stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky overhead. txt
From the first time she mentioned Ten Thousand Swords Villa, he guessed that she should have some connection with Ten Thousand Swords Villa. She proposed to participate in the sword trial conference, and also proposed to visit various sects, although it was for a certain purpose, but all this was exactly what he wanted, and it coincided with the purpose of his trip, and it was just a good way to disguise his identity and facilitate his actions, so he gladly accepted.
It was an accident that he would fall in love with her, and he kept warning himself not to move his thoughts that he shouldn't have, but he still couldn't help but get closer. So he didn't fight or grab, not only because of Bingyan, but also because of his identity.
In Qinghui Garden, she said, "Brother Hongying, do you like me? ”
A simple sentence of "Brother Red Sakura" hit his heartstrings. He had thought about it, if she was really willing to follow him, and when the task was completed, he would create an identity for her and take her back.
It's just that now, she is not only a person from Wanjian Villa, but also the daughter of Wanjian Villa, and the difference in identity is destined to have no results for the two, so he can only look at her from afar. Fortunately, now that Bingyan has repented, if the two of them can release their previous suspicions and live happily, he will also bless them.
Thinking of Ice Flame, Xia Hongying frowned again. Bing Yan's surname is Huangfu and he is the fifth disciple of Wanjian Villa. It was nothing, but when these two were added together, he had to think about it more. The surnames he knows are Huangfu Zongyi, Huangfu Jiawei, and Huangfu Bingyan, all of which are surprisingly consistent. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Bingyan, Xueqing, I hope we won't be enemies in the future." ”
"Childe," the woman stepped forward to put on her cloak for him, "even if the weather is still warm now, which is more deeply exposed, Childe still has to pay attention to his body." ”
Xia Hongying raised her hand to tie the strap of the cloak: "Got it." Yuhua, you go back and rest first. ”
Lei Yuhua didn't leave, but asked in a low voice, "Childe, are you thinking about Miss Li?" ”
"Heh," Xia Hongying smiled, "Yuhua, I thought you wouldn't ask." ”
"Yuhua just won't ignore the occasion like her sister, but Yuhua can't hide things in her heart, especially when it comes to the son......"
"Well, I don't blame you. I know you're much more sensible than Yuling. If you have time, you can mention her more, if she doesn't change her temperament, it's not suitable for ......."
"Childe!" Lei Yuhua interrupted him, "Childe forgives the sin, but please don't say something like that." My sister has been waiting for many years, and everyone knows her intentions, just like the son's intentions, Yuhua can also see it. My sister is still sulking, and she is annoyed that she didn't come out with her son. ”
Xia Hongying was noncommittal, but stared at her and said, "What about you, Yuhua?" ”
"I ...... Yuhua didn't dare to talk about the son. ”
"Alas!" Xia Hongying sighed and said, "Yuhua, you see the stars in the sky shining brightly, it's beautiful?" ”
Lei Yuhua looked at the sky, although he didn't know Xia Hongying's intentions, he still praised sincerely: "The stars are shining, and they are beautiful." It's in the middle of the mountains, compared to ...... The view is better than at home. ”
"It's just that although the stars are brilliant, I can't catch them." Xia Hongying stretched out her hand, pointed to the sky, and made a grasping motion, "It seems to be right in front of you, but it will never belong to me, and it will not change because of me." ”
"If Childe really wants it, even if it is a star in the sky, someone will be willing to pick it for Childe."
"If it doesn't belong to me, why bother. Who can guarantee that the stars will be as beautiful as those in the sky? What's the point if it was because of my forcible picking, which made her lose her luster. It's better to watch from afar and collect that beauty in the bottom of your heart. ”
Lei Yuhua couldn't help but approach him and said, "Childe......"
Xia Hongying lowered her head and said, "It's good if she's happy." I just hope that Bingyan will not live up to her affection in the future. ”
Lei Yuhua leaned lightly on his body: "Childe, you have changed." ”
"Yuhua, people are always changing. This time, I also experienced some experiences that I had never felt before. Okay, go back, I know what I'm doing, I know what to do right, and I haven't forgotten the purpose of this trip. ”
"Yes." Lei Yuhua reluctantly straightened up.
Xia Hongying turned around and said, "I can't predict how things will develop next, you have to be ready to deal with it at any time." You and Yuling are not good at martial arts, so you have to learn to protect yourself. ”
"That son, you ......"
"I'm not worried about myself. Xueqing is a loving person, if there is anything, she will help me, but she will not consider you. ”
Lei Yuhua was surprised: "Childe trusts her so much? ”
"Yes." Xia Hongying showed a hint of a smile, and instructed, "You can do your own things in the future, don't always follow me, especially Yuling." You are here, Xueqing will not let down her guard. ”
"Yes, Yuhua understands."
