Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Quiet Day Before the Storm
"Senior brother, why did you come back so late? Master and they all looked nervous last night, as if they were facing a great enemy, did you encounter any danger?"
A yellow-clothed disciple asked the brothers who had just returned to the mountain gate, and he was still shocked by the situation last night.
"No?"
The disciple who had just returned to the mountain gate was very puzzled by the questions of his fellow disciples.
Everyone was talking about what had happened last night. At this time, two more people probed their brains to eavesdrop on the conversation of these disciples.
"Sister Yu, I feel that the situation is getting worse and worse!"
Gongsun Tianshou listened to the conversation of the disciples and discussed with Yu Qinglian beside him.
"Well, yes, the disciples of Huashan went down the mountain to help. But it was clear that they were all confused by something like a formation. Otherwise, the battle between those two people last night would be hard for anyone to forget. β
Yu Qinglian nodded, and on the other side, he shuttled through the crowd with Gongsun Tianshou.
"Sister Yu, then why did you come out unscathed? If there was really a fight between masters, how could you not be affected. β
Gongsun Tianshou stopped after hearing Yu Qinglian's words, and looked at her with questions in his eyes.
"Well, maybe it's because I'm so beautiful, they can't bear to let me die like this. β
Yu Qinglian scratched her face with her hand and looked to the side in embarrassment, this reason even made her feel funny.
"Oh? really?"
Gongsun Tianshou put his face in front of Yu Qinglian, his face full of doubt.
"Tenshu, you say... When did I lie to you?!?"
Yu Qinglian waved his hand and smiled awkwardly. It's just that with the tacit understanding between the two of them, Gongsun Tianshou can easily guess what she thinks, and of course he knows that Yu Qinglian must have something to hide.
"Alright then, I trust you. β
Gongsun Tianshou looked at Yu Qinglian's embarrassed appearance, so he didn't question anymore - after all, he also had his own ulterior secrets, and it was normal for Yu Qinglian to hide some things from him.
"Your Highness. β
At this time, Gongsun Tuo squeezed out of the crowd and came to Gongsun Tianshou and the two of them.
"There are many injured soldiers whose injuries have deteriorated, and many of them have already been sent to the Jishitang of the Huashan Sword Sect for treatment. Shouldn't you check it out? β
"Yes. It's been hard work for them all the way, and if it weren't for the protection of us, they wouldn't have been hurt. β
Gongsun Tianshou nodded, he was still clear about this reason.
"Then, Sister Yu and I will go and take care of the wounded, Uncle Gongsun Tuo, you can settle the others-by the way, how do we know where the Jishitang of the Huashan Sword Sect is. οΌβ
"Your Highness can rest assured that the Second Elder has arranged for a disciple to lead the way for you. This is the first disciple of the three elders of the Huashan Sword Sect, Bai Luohai, who will lead you to familiarize yourself with the environment of the Huashan Sword Sect today, and by the way, I will also introduce you to the details of this trial. β
Gongsun Tuo turned sideways, wanting to introduce the Sword Sect disciple who led the way to Gongsun Tianshu and them. Merely.... There was no one behind him.
βγγγ β
βγγγ β
βγγγ β
Seeing that Gongsun Tuo's back was empty, whether it was Gongsun Tuo who was talking or Gongsun Tianshou who was listening, they were both speechless.
Gongsun Tuo frowned, glanced around, his eyes stopped on a white-clothed young man who was talking to a female disciple, and walked behind him.
"Oh, Senior Sister Lu Yaqi, this one in your bun is a yellow rose. It's so beautiful! Especially with Senior Sister Lu's peerless face. β
The boy looked at the little yellow flower in the girl's hair, and sighed at the delicate and simple beauty, obviously flattering the girl.
"Luoluo, you also think this flower is beautiful. has a good eye, worthy of being my most painful little brother, and his mouth is still so sweet. β
Huashan Sword Sect generally stipulates the seniority in the order of entry. And Lu Yaqi, as the personal disciple of the fourth elder, is a little lower in rank than Bai Luohai as the third senior brother, although her age is similar to Li Yunfeng, she can only call Bai Luohai senior brother.
"Your Excellency Bai Luohai, have you forgotten what the Second Elder asked you to do. β
Cang Xiong's voice came into Bai Luohai's ears with a little anger, and he was about to open his mouth to tease Lu Yaqi.
"Snubbing the distinguished guest, if you let the second elder know, you will definitely be angry. β
"Uh, Senior Sister Lu, I still have something to do, let's talk to you when I get back from Masterβby the way, my Master said that she got an ice blue anchovy before, and I'll steal one for you. β
"Hahaha! If you're not afraid of being picked up by your master and stealing it, go ahead! I'll also take a break from Jianhong Tower. β
Lu Yaqi waved his hand to Bai Luohai and walked towards the back mountain.
"Hmm. β
Bai Luohai looked at the girl's distant back, turned to Gongsun Tuo behind him with some stiffness, and smiled awkwardly.
"That... Seniors... I really didn't do it right, but... That one... Can you not tell the second uncle. β
Listening to Bai Luohai's somewhat cowardly words, Gongsun Tuo smiled.
"Hahaha, a manly man dares to be bold, that's fine. β
Gongsun Tuo waved his hand at him.
"Let's go. β
"Okay-is this the prince of Ji Kingdom? Fortunately, I will be fortunate to be happy-this fairy sister who is as beautiful as a flower and a fairy in the red dust is too. In in. The next name is Bai Luohai!"
When Bai Luohai saw the two Gongsun Tianshou approaching, especially Yu Qinglian's peerless face, he immediately lost his soul again.
"Well, I've been taken care of during this time, Brother Bai!"
Gongsun Tianshou smiled and shook hands with Bai Luohai, however, Yu Qinglian on the side was extremely cold, like a 10,000-year-old iceberg.
"Humph!"
Yu Qinglian glanced at Bai Luohai with some disgust, and turned his head sideways to stop paying attention to him.
"Ahem. β
Bai Luohai saw that Yu Qinglian didn't want to see his flattery, but he touched his nose, and immediately cleared his throat in embarrassment, and the topic changed.
"That... Second Uncle asked me to lead you to familiarize yourself with the Sword Sect today, and by the way, I would like to introduce you to the Sword Shrine Trial in two days--that is the grand event of the Huashan Sword Sect once every five years! The content of the trial is to obtain the remnant sword buried in the Ten Thousand Swords Tomb on the periphery of the sword mound, and obtain its approval, so that you can get the inheritance of its original owner. β
Bai Luohai walked in front of everyone to lead the way, and by the way, he introduced them to the general content of the Sword Shrine Trial.
"So, the so-called Sword Shrine Trial is not in the Sword Shrine?"
When Gongsun Tenshu heard Bai Luohai's words, he approached him and asked him.
"Well, in that place of the Sword Shrine, I'm afraid that only the missing Great Elder knows what is in itβhowever, I heard that it may be the sword of the Founding Ancestor, or even the ancestor of our Sword Sect. That's it, let's not talk about it. β
Although Bai Luohai likes this kind of anecdote very much, he is still taboo about this kind of thing.
"Then don't talk about it. However, who else will come to this Sword Shrine Trial?"
Gongsun Tianshou continued to ask Bai Luohai curiously.
"Of course, it is the disciples of our Sword Sect and the disciples from the strongest Seven Kingdoms at that time! In other words, this Sword Shrine Trial is probably the most difficult in the past hundred years-the top five in the list of wizards listed by Tianxuan Pavilion are actually coming, my God, what kind of ghost chance are you grabbing - the first bloodthirsty red dress Chu Mohua, the second sword walking world Yue Qingshan, the third white birch qin master Qi Huanrou, the fourth nocturnal wolf Zhao Mingyue, and the fifth white-clothed prodigal Li Yunfeng - there is no need to play at all, a group of perverts. Ahhhh
"I've never heard of it. β
Bai Luohai went crazy at the mention of these people, and he didn't notice that Gongsun Tianshou rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, he had never heard of any of these people, but the surname of the first place really made his heart sink.
"Chu Mohua... β
Gongsun Tianshou muttered to himself.
"Okay, okay, the water is naturally straight to the bridge, what are you afraid of. β
Yu Qinglian patted Gongsun Tianshou's shoulder and smiled at him.
A group of people walked through the pavilion, talking about the past of this ancient pavilion, talking and laughing. But how long can this amicable atmosphere last?
γγγ
"Ahh
Nearby, a wounded soldier let out a heart-rending scream. A female disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect dressed in yellow dragged his arm and unwrapped the white cloth that bandaged the injured arm, revealing the wound that was beginning to bleed.
"Oh no, the wound has suppurated. β
The female disciple frowned, and quickly took out a knife and a delicate small bottle from the cloth bag hanging on her body.
"Bite. β
She handed the white cloth ring in her hand to the soldier's mouth.
The wounded soldier nodded, biting the roll with his teeth.
"Okay, then I'll start, don't move. β
The female disciple quickly waved the knife in her hand. The sword flashed, and the carrion on the wound was completely removed.
"Okay, the next step will hurt even more, you have to hold back. β
Large drops of sweat appeared on the girl's forehead, rolling down her cheeks, but she couldn't wipe them, she was afraid that the beads of sweat would stain her hands that she was still trying to save - since she had chosen to practice medicine to help the world, this discomfort was nothing.
"Don't move. β
She smiled at the soldier, opened the small porcelain vase in her hand, and poured it over the wound where the carrion had been removed, revealing the bloody flesh.
"Squeak, squeak. β
When the liquid in the bottle touched the wound, the soldier's expression was immediately distorted by pain, and his body twitched.
The girl quickly put away the small porcelain vase and quickly tied the bandages prepared on the side.
"Well, okay, let go!"
The girl wiped the sweat from her face and took the roll of cloth from the soldier's mouth.
"How's it going?"
"Thank you, girl. β
Although still weak, the soldier stood up and hugged his fist at the girl in thanks.
"This medicine is really magical, although it still hurts when I put it on, but it is still a little itchy. β
"Well, this is my special muscle-building elixir, although there are still shortcomings, but the effect is still good. β
The girl smiled and put away the knife and bottle.
"I'll go see if anyone else needs help, you go lie down first. β
The girl waved her hand to the soldier and walked towards the next wounded.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Yan. β
Yue Qingshan stood up, holding a knife and bandages in his hands.
"I didn't expect the medicine you researched to be so powerful, and it was actually better than the medicine developed by the third uncle. β
"No, it was still with Master's help that I was able to complete the preparation of this new medicine. By the way, big brother, are there any wounded?"
The girl smiled and asked Yue Qingshan. Yan Luoyan is the name of the girl, that is, the name of the true disciple of the five elders of the Huashan Sword Sect.
"There are no more wounded, big brother!"
Before Yue Qingshan could answer, Liang Yansheng, who had been doing chores here, shouted first.
"Well, I'm done with the medicine!"
Su Qingyu on the side put down the small bowl and spoon and said to everyone.
"That's good, it's a miracle that the beast tide is coming, and there aren't so many wounded. β
Ying Luoyin put the medicine pot in his hand on the shelf and said to Su Qingyu.
"Thank you for your hard work. β
Seeing these young people cooperating in such an orderly manner, Ying Luoyin smiled with satisfaction.
"Master, I'm coming!"
At this time, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a young man walked in, it was Bai Luohai who was leading the way for Gongsun Tianshou and others.
"Big brother, you're awake, I want to kill you!"
Bai Luohai saw Yue Qingshan standing in the house, and hugged him excitedly.
"Hmm, is this Jishitang? It's so simple. β
Yu Qinglian walked into the room and looked around curiously, and said to Gongsun Tianshou behind him.
"Tenshu, I'm still stunned, hurry up. β
"Well, good. β
Gongsun Tianshu then walked in as well, although he always felt that it was a bit rude to break in the door without saying hello.
"Excuse meββ Alas, Third Elder!?Su Qingyu!?"
As soon as Gongsun Tianshou entered the house, he saw Su Qingyu and Ying Luoyin, and exclaimed that it was really fateful.
"See you again, little one!"
Ying Luoyin smiled at Gongsun Tianshou. However, Su Qingyu on the side was staring blankly, and her body couldn't stop trembling.
"What's the matter, Miss Sunny Rain, didn't you sleep well?"
Gongsun Tianshou asked Su Qingyu and shook his hand in front of her.
"Oh? no. It's okay.. β
Su Qingyu reacted for a long time and hurriedly waved his hand, but his movements looked so flustered, and his eyes were staring at Yu Qinglian on the side.
Yu Qinglian also noticed Su Qingyu's gaze, so he walked towards Su Qingyu and patted her shoulder.
"Little sister, sister I know I'm beautiful, but you don't have to be so surprised. β
Then she turned away, bowed to the people in the room, and spoke.
"Thank you for saving the people of Ji Kingdom, and here I thank you on behalf of the Prince of Ji Kingdom. β
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
Liang Yansheng, Yue Qingshan, Su Qingyu and the others were all stunned, they never thought that the prince of Ji Kingdom would be such a young man.
"Huh, you are the prince of Ji Kingdom who was chosen by the gods?!?!"
Liang Yansheng was the first to exclaim, but suddenly thought of the tragic thing that happened to Gongsun Tianshou, and immediately stopped talking.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. β
"Don't care, it's a fact. β
Gongsun Tianshou smiled, saying that he didn't need to care about the past at all.
"In Xiagongsun Tianshou, the prince of Ji Kingdom, I am here to thank everyone who helped the wounded in my country!"
Gongsun Tenshu bowed to everyone and thanked them. At the same time, many of the soldiers lying on the wooden bed were able to stand up and bow down, and even if they couldn't, they tried to bow as much as possible.
"Thank you for your help, and thank Your Highness for coming to visit!"
γγγ
"Please get out of the car, Your Royal Highness!"
A soldier in gold armor with a golden spear in hand knelt down on one knee towards the chariot and shouted respectfully.
If a person of insight sees such a person, he will definitely be amazed - this soldier is actually the strongest golden guard in the Chu State, and the personal guard of the king of Chu who is known as stronger than the invincible Chijiang army.
"Well, before that, I want to ask you something, why is there such a noise in the Huashan Sword Sect. β
The man in the chariot was obviously dissatisfied with the somewhat noisy mountain gate.
"According to the words of the previous spies, it should be the victims who came under the escort of the Ji State Mission. β
The guards in golden armor answered truthfully.
"Oh, Ji Guo, that defeated general, I didn't expect that with their strength, they would also be invited. Cut, this time you must educate them well, don't think that you can be self-righteous if you are invited, and bring so many subordinates. β
The man in the chariot jumped out of it, and when she landed not a speck of dust, for she did not like the pickled things, and did not like her noble red dress to be defiled.
"This time, the biggest winner must be me Chu Mohua. β
