Chapter 9: The Young Woman's Cousin
"Not really..."
Xu Lan didn't feel too much discomfort when he looked at such a bloody scene in front of him, but naturally he had no interest in eating.
"Let's go."
Xu Lan glanced at Qian Shaojun and had no desire to talk to him, who made him go out today without looking at the yellow calendar.
Then he called the shopkeeper to settle the bill and leave, and as for Qian Shaojun, who was lying on the ground, he could only watch Xu Lan leave.
"Why are you still stunned?!"
Qian Shaojun roared at the people around him: "Why don't you send me home to find a doctor?!" ”
At this time, everyone on the side came back to their senses, and hurriedly helped Qian Shaojun to walk out.
"Take my hands!"
……
Walking out of Tongqing Building, Xu Lan did not choose to return to Xu's Mansion directly, and the two walked side by side on the streets of Qingzhou again.
When passing by an armory shop, Xu Lan stopped,
Looking at the shelves in the shop full of all kinds of weapons, Xu Lan's heart moved slightly, what he lacked now was a long sword suitable for him.
As a martial arts family, there are naturally many long swords in the Xu Mansion, among which there are many sharp weapons forged by famous masters.
But Xu Lan also shook his head after looking at it one by one, the sword still has to be used.
The same Chen Ci, who is also a sword cultivator, penetrated Xu Lan's mind at a glance,
"Most of the weapons sold in the weapons shops are cast from mortal iron, which may be a good choice for ordinary people."
Chen Ci pondered for a moment and said, "But it can't carry the true qi, and it is easy to break inch by inch during the battle. “
"That's right..."
Hearing this, Xu Lan suddenly didn't have much interest,
"But as far as I know, there is a retired Sword Casting Sect elder in Qingzhou City, if Gongzi Xu is not too troublesome, I can help introduce him."
Chen Ci opened his mouth and said, "But most of the people in the Sword Casting Sect have strange temperaments, and whether they can help forge weapons depends on fate. ”
Hearing this, Xu Lan's eyes lit up, Chen Ci actually knew the elder of the Sword Casting Sect?
The Sword Forging Sect is a relatively unique sect, they do not participate in any disputes but have a transcendent status.
Even the Great Chu royal family conceded three points of courtesy,
It is rumored that a thousand years ago, a man with great luck sought a divine sword in the Sword Casting Sect, and later this person relied on this divine sword to cut out a dynasty on the battlefield.
And this person is the founding emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty,
Even the Excalibur at that time was passed down from generation to generation as the sword of Zhenguo.
It's just that most of the people in the Sword Forging Sect have strange temperaments, and not everyone who goes to the Sword Forging Sect to ask for a sword can ask for something.
In their words, fate is up, and they will be willing to help forge swords.
If fate doesn't arrive, they won't open their eyes to see how rich the reward is.
As for what fate is,
No one knew this, but the rules of the Sword Forging Sect were gradually formed later.
"That's annoying Miss Chen."
Xu Lan was also interested in his heart, even he didn't know that there was actually an elder of the Sword Casting Sect in Qingzhou City.
"It's just a matter of effort."
Chen Ci shook his head and said, "They are in the west of the city, and I will take you there." ”
Later, under the leadership of Chen Ci, the group came to a street in the west of the city, and Chen Ci did not forget to buy some fruits and the like on the way.
"That elder of the Sword Casting Sect lost his son in his early years, so he had the idea of retiring and returning to Qingzhou to retire, you must not mention relevant topics in front of him."
"I'm just related to his daughter-in-law, and whether he agrees or not depends on your luck."
In front of an old house at the end of the street, a graceful young woman squatted down and was playing with a five-year-old girl.
At this time, the girl looked up and saw Chen Ci and grabbed the young woman's shirt and shouted, "Mother, Sister Chen Ci has come to play with me." ”
When the young woman heard this, she raised her head slightly and showed a surprised look when she saw Chen Ci, as if she was surprised by Chen Ci's appearance.
"Ci'er, why did you come to Qingzhou too?"
"I was transferred to Qingzhou to perform official duties a while ago, and when I was free today, I thought about coming to my sister to catch up."
Chen Ci winked at her and motioned to the other party not to tell her about his position in the Hanging Mirror Division.
"Oh, I see."
The young woman who was called the elder sister immediately understood,
When he looked back and saw Xu Lan, who was a talent, he couldn't help but quip: "Why did you bring such a handsome little minister, do you want me to help palm the eyes?" ”
"Sister, don't talk nonsense."
Chen Ci said slightly angrily: "This is Xu Gongzi, I met him in Qingzhou this time, this is Chen Caining, my cousin." ”
"Hey, it turned out to be Xu Gongzi."
Chen Caining looked Xu Lan up and down and smiled with satisfaction: "Ci'er has a good eye. ”
Xu Lan: ......
"Miss Chen, don't be joking."
Xu Lan seemed to get closer and found that the Chen Caining in front of him was not a few years older than him, and immediately smiled and said, "I took the liberty to visit today, and I was very disturbed." ”
"Haha, how many years has no one called me Miss Chen."
Chen Caining said with a smile: "No wonder Ci'er can bring you to see me, just this little mouth like smeared honey, which girl's family can withstand it." ”
Xu Lan: ......
This is really not that he is sycophant, but that although Chen Caining in front of him has long been a wife, he is actually not much older than himself.
If it weren't for this mature and explosive figure, it would be hard to imagine that she was already a married woman with a child at this age.
"Sister Chen, if you want to talk nonsense again, I'm leaving."
Chen Ci's face was slightly red, although she could kill people without blinking, but her face was still very thin in dealing with men and women.
"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it."
Chen Caining shook his head and said: "It's hard to see each other, how can I let you leave like this, and your mother won't scold me to death if you know it." ”
"Come in."
Then Chen Caining took the little girl's hand and walked into the courtyard, saying as he walked: "Our family is a little smaller, I hope Xu Gongzi doesn't mind." ”
After a moment of observation by her, she knew that Xu Lan was by no means a child of an ordinary family, and the clothes and robes he wore were not ordinary, and the two girls behind him had a respectful attitude towards him.
It should be his maid or something, which means that Xu Lan's identity should not be much worse.
"How so?"
However, the moment he pushed open the gate of the courtyard, it was obvious that the temperature around him had risen a lot, and there was a dull sound of heavy pounding metal.
"That old man is busy with his pile of scrap metal again..."
Chen Caining sighed slightly, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Dad, a guest is here!" ”
After a few moments, the dull sound of thumping metal died down, and a short, gray-haired old man stepped out of the corner of the courtyard.
