Chapter Twenty-Nine: Although it is a mayfly, it should be a great ambition
The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is not far from the Fanhong Dart Bureau, only about five miles, so the two did not ride horses, but went on foot, and they could also enjoy the unique scenery of Juyang County by the way.
There are not many small traders in Juyang County, so it seems a little empty, after all, most of the residents have made porcelain for a living, except for the wide main street, some small streets that extend in all directions are like spider webs all around.
Walking along the street, Chen Ling occasionally introduced Xiao Yueming to some unique local scenery, such as the abandoned cave that has been transformed into a distinctive tea stall, and some special porcelain utensils placed outside the shop.
Chen Ling's pleasant voice sounded in his ears from time to time, but Xiao Yueming's heart was not here, since the two of them came out of the dart game, they felt that someone behind them was secretly following, this person didn't seem to be a martial artist, and his tracking skills were also extremely clumsy, it was impossible to hide from Xiao Yueming, a second-rate master, and even ordinary martial artists could easily detect it.
Looking at Chen Ling, who was still chattering around him and still excitedly introducing himself, Xiao Yueming felt a little helpless.
"Anyway, she's also a third-rate little master, since she hasn't found anyone following her at all, this girl seems to have completely let down her guard as long as she is there. "
Half a sound, the person behind him still did not disappear, Xiao Yueming couldn't help frowning, "I'm about to go to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, I must arrest this person and see what he wants." "
There was a fork in the road ahead, Xiao Yueming suddenly turned, and put his hand around Chen Ling's shoulder, in Chen Ling's unknown little face, the two turned several corners in a row, and stopped at a corner.
"Brother Xiao, what are we doing here. Chen Ling asked stupidly, a little puzzled.
Xiao Yueming put the index finger of his left hand to his mouth, signaled the other party to whisper, and stroked the hilt of Qingyuan's sword with his right hand, ready to draw the sword at any time.
"Ever since the game was out, someone has been quietly following. Xiao Yueming whispered.
Chen Ling didn't dare to make a sound, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded from around the corner, as if they were looking for the two who had lost them.
The footsteps became clearer, Xiao Yueming's eyes narrowed slightly, and Chen Ling's jade hand also held the hilt of the sword.
"Zheng~"
Xiao Yueming suddenly drew his sword, and the crimson blood groove in the body of the Qingyuan sword drew a red light in the air and placed it on the neck of a figure.
"Don't move, dare to move, let your head and neck be separated!" Xiao Yueming said angrily.
"Ah, ah, don't kill me. "
Looking closely, a young man was paralyzed on the ground, dressed as a young scholar, his clothes were a little white, and the man was frightened, waving his hands wildly.
Xiao Yueming was a little surprised, although he already knew that he was an ordinary person who was following him, but he didn't expect to be so cowardly.
"Brother Xiao, don't hurt him!"
Chen Ling shouted, then ran to the young scholar, trying his best to comfort him, and it took a while for the young scholar to calm down.
Seeing Chen Ling, the young scholar's eyes suddenly moistened, and his voice trembled a little:
"Ling'er, where have you been these days, I didn't see you come back until last night, but I didn't dare to look for you, I was afraid that I would be beaten out by your father again, so I kept guard at the door all night. "
After the young man finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yueming in fear, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, obviously the sword just now left a lot of shadow on him.
Although Xiao Yueming is only in the age of bundling his hair, because of his long-term sword practice, he is tall, with a sharp temperament, dressed in black, and looks like a young man in his early twenties.
Seeing that this person knew Chen Ling, he returned Qingyuan to the sheath, and the sound of the sheath scared the young scholar again, obviously, Xiao Yueming had become his new nightmare.
Chen Ling helped the young scholar up with difficulty, walked to Xiao Yueming and introduced, "Brother Xiao, this is mine...... My classmate friend, Murong Hua. "
"When I was in danger, it was Brother Xiao who saved me, and this is my savior. "
Murong Hua's expression suddenly darkened when he heard Chen Ling's introduction to him, and this detail naturally couldn't be hidden from Xiao Yueming's eyes.
Xiao Yueming bowed, since this person has a lot of relationship with Chen Ling, he naturally wants to give some face: "In Xia Xiao Yueming, I have seen Brother Murong." "
Murong Hua's raised hands trembled a little, obviously not completely recovering from the fright just now: "Thank you Xiao, Brother Xiao came to rescue Ling'er, Murong Hua is grateful." "
"Brother Murong was polite, and he just did what he had to do. "
Chen Ling looked at Murong Hua beside him: "Why don't you go back first, Brother Xiao and I still have important things to deal with, you must study well, if you can get famous, you will get ahead." "
What Ling'er said was that Murong was a little redundant, so it was inconvenient to disturb the two of them. "
After Murong Hua saluted, he turned around and left, walking with a little limp, he should have twisted his foot, and the washed white clothes were full of dust, but he didn't slap it, just walked slowly to the depths of the alley.
Looking at the somewhat rickety back, Chen Ling couldn't help but coincide with the high-spirited and confident figure in his mind, although he didn't want to believe it, but it was the case.
Xiao Yueming walked to Chen Ling's side and sighed: "There are thousands of people in the world, how difficult it is to get ahead, life is only a few decades, whether you are an ant or a hero, you have to find your own value, people live a lifetime, not just for themselves, relatives, partners, friends, beliefs, countries, there is always one thing to protect with life, such a life is wonderful for yourself." "
We can't help him, we have to rely on him. Xiao Yueming touched the broken jade on his chest with his left hand, and his heart was full of bitterness.
Chen Ling slowly retracted his gaze and said calmly: "Brother Xiao, let's go, the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce is about to arrive." "
Walking out of the alley, the two were speechless all the way.
After a while, a luxurious mansion appeared in front of you, the huge main entrance was inlaid with various colors of agate, standing outside the door, you could see the white jade tiles on the roof of the courtyard, which was extremely luxurious.
Chen Ling stepped forward and said to the servant guarding the door: "Please inform your young lady, and say that Chen Ling from the Fanhong Dart Bureau wants to see you."
The gray-clothed servant saluted, pushed open the door, and trotted forward to announce.
After a short wait, a crisp and pleasant voice came from inside the main entrance:
"Sister Ling'er, have you come to see me?"
didn't see him, only heard his voice, Xiao Yueming only felt comfortable in his heart, and his good impression of Guan Ziran suddenly doubled.
It's just that with the appearance of a broad figure, Xiao Yueming's fantasy was ruthlessly destroyed, and in the end, there was not even gray left.
Xiao Yueming's face was calm, and she couldn't see a trace of waves, but her heart had already set off turbulent waves, mainly because the difference between the other party's physique and voice was too big, which could be described as a chasm.
Chen Ling quietly glanced at Xiao Yueming, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Brother Xiao is really extraordinary, the first time I saw Miss Guan, she was so calm, she was really a hero. "
