Chapter 13: The Famous Sword Canghong
The wild wolves gathered together and crouched on the ground, they had just experienced a chase, and their physical exertion was very great, and all the wolves were long tongues sticking out, gasping for air.
The woman held a short sword and stared at the wolf intently, a little fear rose in her heart, encountering the wolf in the wilderness, although there were many of them, there was no need to worry about all of them being buried in the wolf's belly, but it was not so much fun to really fight.
Just as she was leading the guards to confront the wild wolf, a scream suddenly came from behind her, and she turned her head sharply, only to see the old man Qiu on horseback staggering and falling off the horse, and a bloody breath suddenly drifted over with the wind.
When Old Man Qiu fell off his horse, the woman was shocked, he was the best master of swordsmanship in this caravan, and he was killed by someone with a sword in an unsuspecting situation, which shows what kind of attainment the swordsmanship of the person who shot has reached.
The wild wolves smelled the blood, and first stood up excitedly, and then they all crouched on the ground, as if they were pretending to sleep, but in fact they were quietly observing the caravan led by the woman.
Wolves are extremely intelligent creatures, they smell the smell of food from the blood, and they also sense that there is about to be a killing of this group of people, as long as there is a killing, there will be a dead man, and with a dead man, they will have ready-made food, since they can get food without hunting, why don't they huddle here and wait for this killing to end?
After Old Man Qiu fell off his horse, three people dressed in white with felt hats on their heads appeared in the woman's field of vision, all three of them were holding five-foot long swords in their hands, which were three long swords with a silver gloss.
Seeing these three swords, the woman's heart suddenly tightened, and she hurriedly asked: "Three, although I, Chi Xue'e, make a living as a businessman, I have never been to the land of Wuyue, why can't I wait?" β
These three people were the same three people who had stood on the hillside and watched the wolves chase the war horses, and the one who was in the lead was the one known as Xin Ling.
Xin Ling raised his head slightly, and his extremely sexy lips in the shape of ingots faintly appeared under the felt hat, but from these lips, it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female.
"Do you see that we are from Wu Yue Sword Shrine?" Xin Ling's lips moved, and after spitting out a few cold words, he said to Chi Xue'e: "Then you should know why we came this time, as long as you obediently hand over what we want, I promise not to kill anyone again." β
"Presumptuous!" Before Chi Xue'e could speak, a guard behind her stood in front of her with a sword and shouted at Xin Ling: "My wife is a merchant in the world, she is a heroine among women, and officials from all over Daqin still respect her wife, you dare to speak so boldly and intimidate!" β
As soon as the guard spoke, Chi Xue'e's face suddenly changed, it was too late to stop her, she saw the corners of Xin Ling's mouth under the felt hat moved slightly, and at this moment, the sound of a sharp weapon breaking the wind came into her ears, and before she had time to avoid it, the guard who was shouting at Xin Ling was pierced through the head by a bow and arrow flying from a distance, and the body that was shot through the head flew sideways under the strength of the bow.
"Chi Xue'e, we know that you are good at arching horses, and we are worried that you will cast a dark arrow in your back after leaving, so I asked a friend who is good at shooting to help, I advise you to be obedient and obedient, leave things and continue to walk your way!" After the guard was shot away by an arrow, the corners of Xin Ling's mouth pulled again, revealing an imperceptible smile, and his slightly lowered head raised a little more, revealing half of his face as delicate and white as white jade.
"Hmm......" At this time, Xiang Ye, who had been unconscious, woke up, he snorted softly, and struggled to raise his head, trying to break free from the reins that bound him.
At the same time as Xiang Ye snorted, Chi Xue'e's eyes were aimed at him, she shook her head slightly, and a guard hurriedly stepped forward to cut the reins tied to Xiang Ye and pulled him off the horse.
A short sword was placed on Xiang Ye's neck, and the guard who dragged him off the horse tightly strangled his chest with one arm, and the other held a short sword on his neck, nervously looking at the three white-clothed people standing not far away.
"This person is Xiang Liang's soldier, if you don't want him to die, you'd better let us pass!" Seeing that the guards were controlling Xiang Ye, Chi Xue'e smiled coldly and said to Xin Ling.
Xin Ling pursed her lips and said to Chi Xue'e, "Kill!" We don't know him, and as long as there is a battle in the troubled times, countless soldiers will die, although he is a subordinate of General Xiang Liang, but General Xiang has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is no shortage of this soldier. Swapping his life for the lives of all of you and the two things we wanted, apparently we earned it. β
Chi Xue'e's face changed, she turned her head and looked behind her, the guards had already gathered, and there was not much fear on the faces of many of the guards, they just looked in the direction of the arrows from time to time, and the hidden archers were the most terrifying existence for them.
The performance of the guards made Chi Xue'e feel very helpless, there were at least fifty heavily armed guards in the team of hundreds of people, but none of them could see that the three people in the vicinity posed a far greater threat to them than the shooters in the distance. The guards didn't see the horror of the three people in front of them, but Chi Xue'e could not see it very clearly.
Not only did she know where the three men came from, but she also knew why they came, and she didn't need to think much about what the person who was hiding and secretly casting cold arrows wanted.
She regretted a little, she really shouldn't have bought these two things, she originally thought that if she brought them to Xianyang, they would definitely be able to sell them at a good price, but she didn't expect to meet Xin Ling and others halfway, things are bound to be unsaved, and it is difficult to say whether her life can be kept, this single business not only cost her a lot of money, but also may leave her life in this wilderness, no matter how it is calculated, it is a lost deal.
"I'll count to five, and if you haven't chosen yet, I'll help you choose!" Xin Ling saw the embarrassed expression on Chi Xue'e's face, and raised a finger to her and said, "After five sounds, if you haven't made a choice, the wolf over there will be blessed." β
"Okay, this rainbow is yours." Chi Xue'e groaned for a while, nodded helplessly when Xin Ling raised her second finger, and glanced at the guards on the side, one of the guards opened a wooden box, took out a wooden box from the box, held the wooden box high above the top, and handed it to Chi Xue'e.
Chi Xue'e took the wooden box, opened it, and took out a long strip of bright red silk tightly wrapped around it, which was five feet two or three inches long, and looked like the shape of a sword.
She gently unwrapped the silk cloth tied to the strip, and it was indeed a sword wrapped inside.
When Xiang Ye saw this sword, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, the wooden handle and scabbard of this sword were mottled marks everywhere, and he couldn't see where the nobility was at all.
Xiang Ye, who was still being held hostage by the guards, couldn't help but pout when he saw this sword, he suddenly looked down on the three people who stopped the caravan, the long sword he was wearing was definitely the best, but they just wanted to grab this broken and rotten sword.
Xiang Ye's face was full of disapproval, in the conversation between Chi Xue'e and Xin Ling and others, he heard that Xin Ling and others must have a deep friendship with Xiang Liang, according to the current situation, as long as he wears the armor of this rebel army, Xin Ling and others will definitely not hurt him, but he feels a little worried about Chi Xue'e riding on horseback not far away, generally speaking, when the bad guy is robbed, if the identity of the bitter master is seen, he will often make the choice of killing people, he is a little optimistic about the outcome after Chi Xue'e hands over things.
When Xin Ling and the others saw this sword, their eyes flashed with a strange look, it was a greedy look, just like a drunkard seeing fine wine, a pervert seeing a beauty, and a gambler seeing dice.
Chi Xue'e reluctantly stroked the scabbard, and after a long while, she threw the sword to Xin Ling and asked, "Can we go?" β
Xin Ling took the sword, he didn't answer Chi Xue'e's words, but gently stroked the scabbard with both hands, as if a husband who loved his wife very much was gently caressing his wife's smooth jade body, and only after stroking the long sword all over again did he hold the hilt of the sword and pull out the long sword violently.
When the long sword was unsheathed, even Xiang Ye, who knew little about swords, couldn't help but feel a chill rushing over his face. Under the illumination of the sun, the long sword reflected a snowy light, just now Xiang Ye also felt that the long sword in the hands of Xin Ling and the others was very dazzling, when this sword was pulled out by Xin Ling, he really realized what it meant to be dazzling.
"I'm rubbing, I've never seen such a bright ancient sword in a museum!" Xiang Ye didn't care that there was still a short sword around his neck, raised his hand to block his eyes, and peeked at Canghong in Xin Ling's hand, when this sword was unsheathed, he began to envy Xin Ling a little, he was able to get such a good sword.
"Can we go?" Seeing Xin Ling's face full of intoxication, Chi Xue'e reluctantly glanced at the rainbow in his hand and asked again.
Hearing Chi Xue'e's question, Xin Ling put Cang Hong back into the scabbard, shook his head and said, "There is one more thing, I will naturally let you go after giving it to me!" β
Chi Xue'e squinted, a flash of resentment flashed in her eyes, she wanted to be angry, and she wanted to order her guards and Xin Ling and the others to fight to the death. But in the end, she still gave up this naΓ―ve idea, if there were more guards, maybe there would be a way to survive then and then, but with her current strength, it would be more difficult to get cheap from the people of Wu Yue Sword Shrine than to ascend to the sky.
Since marrying into her mother-in-law's family, her husband has been very cowardly, she has followed her father-in-law around all these years, doing some buying and selling in various places to make a living, a woman in business, naturally has to suffer a lot more than a man. Money-greedy officials, lustful businessmen, she has seen countless such people.
