Chapter 17: Night Exploration of Sword Village (1)

Hurry up, Lu Qianmo arrived at the unitary hour, and stopped a mile away from Jianzhuang, intending to act when it was completely dark.

It's summer, it's very hot, and there are a lot of snakes and insects, so you need to be careful. The location chosen by Lu Qianmo can faintly see the sword village a mile away, this sword village that has existed for more than 800 years exudes an ancient, mysterious and majestic atmosphere, which makes her feel awe, but she doesn't know what awaits her in this ancient castle.

Finally waiting for dark, Lu Qianmo moved his limbs, changed into night clothes and prepared to go towards Jianzhuang. Exploring all the way, I found that the Sword Village was heavily guarded, and there were many guards standing guard, presumably to protect the Creation Sword in the Sword Village. But the strange thing is that starting about a hundred meters away from Jianzhuang, the guards here seem to be divided into two groups, one is similar to the guards encountered along the way, it should be the people of Jianzhuang, and there is a group of guards who don't look like Jianzhuang, is there a guest in Jianzhuang? Judging by the number and momentum of these guards, this person's origin must be not small.

When approaching Jianzhuang, it happened that the guards were changing, and Lu Qianmo was hidden in the shadows and was waiting for an opportunity to sneak in.

"Ah Cheng, did you find anything abnormal?" One of the guards asked.

"Nope." Ah Cheng replied.

"You go and rest." Because a distinguished guest from Jianzhuang has strengthened his vigilance in the past few days, everyone is very hard.

"Well, it's hard work ahead."

What the two guards didn't know was that during their brief conversation, a black shadow had already passed behind them and entered over the wall, and this black shadow was Lu Qianmo.

After entering smoothly, Lu Qianmo found that the guards in the Sword Village were a little more lax than the outside, only the guards in the Sword House and the Flying Feather Pavilion were more, and the Flying Feather Pavilion was not the main courtyard of the Sword Village at first glance, and the guards here were not the same as the Sword Village, Lu Qianmo guessed that this was probably the guest living here, but he was not here at this time.

According to the terrain and orientation, Lu Qianmo speculated on the location of the main courtyard of the Sword Village and moved forward. After a while, Lu Qianmo came to a courtyard called "Yuxiao Courtyard", and saw a maid carrying a bowl of soup and medicine inside, listening carefully, you could faintly hear a faint coughing sound, Lu Qianmo decided to go and have a look.

The maidservant holding the medicine gently knocked on the door, "Madam." โ€

"Come in." A woman's voice immediately came from inside the door.

The maidservant pushed open the door and saw the lady lying on the chaise longue coughing, and hurriedly said, "Madam, your cough is getting worse, drink the medicine quickly, if the master knows, he should be worried." โ€

Yang Xiao didn't take the maid's medicine, but asked, "Where is Fu'er?" โ€

"Miss has been staying in her yard since she was angry with the old man yesterday and has never come out." The maidservant told Yang Xiao the news she knew.

cough cough ~ "I'm afraid that there is no one in the yard now." โ€

"Madame mean, Madame has run away from home again?" Hearing this, the maidservant was not surprised, so it can be seen that she is no longer surprised. "It's just that this time the master sent Jianming to look at Miss, I'm afraid~" Miss didn't escape so easily.

"How can that girl be seen by Jianming, the master still underestimated Fu'er." Yang Xiao's expression was full of pride and helplessness.

"Madame, let's drink the medicine first, it should be cold in a while." The maid handed the medicine to Yang Xiao again.

This time, Yang Xiao did not refuse, took the medicine bowl and drank it all, and the maid immediately brought the candied fruit. "I don't know where the young lady will go this time, the master's birthday is coming."

"Wherever she goes, as long as she's happy." Yang Xiao looked up at the window and said for a long time: "I hope Fu'er is destined to find them." โ€

This time the maid did not answer, because she knew that every time Madame thought about it, she would be in a daze for a long time. The maid brought a cloak and carefully put it on Yang Xiao, although it was summer, the lady's physique was afraid of cold.

Lu Qianmo, who was outside the room, heard their conversation and thought that this Yang Xiao was an enlightened mother, different from the women of this era. I don't know who the "they" in Yang Xiao's mouth refer to in the end?

The conversation did not continue, Lu Qianmo was a little regretful, seeing that there was no news to explore here, he planned to find out where Gu Wei was and see if he could get useful news. After going around for a while, Lu Qianmo found the study, the light in the study was on, and there were two figures. When he got closer, he found that two men were talking, a man in a purple robe with an average appearance but exuding the aura of a king in his twenties, Lu Qianmo recognized this person at a glance as Yuwen Tuo, and the other man with a beard in his forties knew that this person should be Gu Wei without guessing.

"Don't hide it from the eldest prince, we haven't found them after looking for twenty years, I'm afraid it's already more than lucky, if it weren't for the insistence of Neiko, hey..." Gu Wei's tone was full of helplessness, "I just don't know why the eldest prince cares about this matter?" โ€

Yuwen Tuo smiled, and instead of answering Gu Wei's question, he said: "This king also learned about this by chance, and it happened that he learned that someone had been looking for a man named "Yang Yan" since five years ago. โ€

Gu Wei was unmoved when he heard this, after all, there must be more than one person named Yang Yan in the world, and it may just happen to have the same name.

Yuwen Tuo knew what Gu Wei was thinking, and continued: "It is said that this Yang Yan disappeared near Peach Blossom Valley five years ago. After a pause, he said slowly: "The name is the same, and it is in Peach Blossom Valley, is it too much of a coincidence." โ€

Hearing this, Gu Wei also had some doubts in his heart, but this Yuwen Tuo brought this news, and it must not be so simple as kindly informing him, so he still behaved very calmly on the surface: "Maybe this is also a coincidence, the old man sent someone to look for it for twenty years and didn't find it, and his heart has long been put down." If Xiao'er hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have looked for it a long time ago.

Hearing this, Lu Qianmo was already convinced that the news of Yang Yan and Wind Howling Sword Village was deliberately revealed to her by Yuwen Tuo, but now that she had learned all this earlier, it seemed that it was better to find out the news from Madam Gu than to trade with Yuwen Tuo. At this time, Lu Qianmo had no intention of continuing to stay, and was about to leave, but heard Yuwen Tuo say: "This time the owner of the village has a birthday, and the people who come to congratulate from all walks of life must not be low. โ€

When Gu Wei heard this, his face was a little ugly, they were originally from the rivers and lakes, why did Yuwen Tuo have to involve them in the royal dispute. Besides, those who are not from the Northern Desert can help him. "The eldest prince, with all due respect, ninety percent of the people who come to the old man's birthday banquet are people from the rivers and lakes, and they don't like to intervene in the affairs of the imperial court."

Yuwen Tuo's eyes were half-drooping, and the corners of his mouth were raised. "Eh~ The owner of the village is reasonable, the prince is not a person who is difficult for the strong, whether those people are willing to serve the king or not, it all depends on their own wishes, the king will never embarrass them, the owner can be recommended with confidence."

"Is this true?"

"There is no lie." Yuwen Tuo affirmed.

"That's fine, otherwise the old man will be at peace." Gu Wei seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and let go of the worries in his heart.

Yuwen Tuo picked up the teacup and drank tea, blocking his cunning expression with his hand.

This believed what Yuwen Tuo said, this ancient owner is too easy to deceive, right? Lu Qianmo outside the window sighed secretly. Yuwen Tuo wanted to use Gu for this big birthday and contact the affairs of various factions in the martial arts, Yuwen Han should have guessed, so he also came to Shifang City, but I don't know if the eldest prince knows about it.

Thorn~, suddenly a slight sound of tiles shattering, although the sound was extremely light, but Lu Qianmo heard it, and obviously the people in the study also heard it.

"Who?" Gu Wei's voice came.

The two figures quickly jumped onto the roof, Yuwen Tuo and Gu Wei also came out of the study, and soon there was a sound of fighting. Lu Qianmo was also more interested in the people on the roof, I don't know which person it was, but he just looked at the torches that were approaching in the distance, and he thought that it would be better to withdraw from the sword village first. So, Lu Qianmo took advantage of the chaos to successfully get out of the Wind Howling Sword Village.

I was going to find a dark place and wait to see which person in black was just now, but I unexpectedly met two more men in black. Since he was also masked, the other party couldn't see his face, Lu Qianmo didn't want to kill the two, but the other party saw that he didn't say a word and drew his sword and attacked.
