Chapter Forty-Nine: An Unexpected Scent
Yu Dongran, who had just walked a short distance down the mountain, turned around and stopped to look at it for a while.
Seeing that several children were surrounding Wuling, and there were laughter and laughter from time to time, I felt a little relieved. Most of the people who can get together with children are people with good hearts.
Wu Ling saw that Zhou Zhou was still happily beating the rice there, and shouted, "Little Brother Zhou, it's time to go!"
"It's coming!"
Hearing Wulingdu's shouting, he was reluctant to leave on Monday.
Compared to reading books and practicing swords, Monday thinks it's more interesting to do farm work.
Back in the carriage, Xu Shan stepped forward and said, "Childe, the letter has been sent." ”
Wu Ling nodded, and then looked around, only a white horse was grazing on the side of the road in front of him, and there was no figure of Ju Jingyue.
Wu Ling said curiously: "Brother Xu, what about Princess Jingyue?"
Xu Shan pointed to the inside of the carriage and whispered, "It seems to be asleep inside!"
Wu Ling was stunned for a while, then opened the curtain of the carriage, and when he looked at it, he really saw Ju Jingyue leaning on the carriage with a sword and falling asleep, and he could hear a subtle snort when he listened carefully.
Wu Ling couldn't cry or laugh, "I really didn't treat myself as an outsider at all!"
Wu Ling felt that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely slaughter Her Royal Highness the princess.
Otherwise, you would be too much of an outsider.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Ling had no choice but to ride Ju Jingyue's white horse instead, "Brother Xu, let's go, let's go to the village below for one night tonight!"
The so-called Wangshan ran a dead horse, this is not false at all.
When I looked at Dadong Village from the mountain, I felt that I could go down to the village after only a few steps, but it took almost half an hour for several people to reach the entrance of the village.
By this time it was getting late.
Looking at Yu Dongran, who was sitting at the entrance of the village, Wu Ling said, "Let the seniors wait for a long time!"
In order to guard against Wuling's ulterior motives, the fish basket that Yu Dongran was carrying before had been replaced with a sword.
Looking at the dust and mildew on the hilt and scabbard, the sword should have been dusty for years.
Even so, Wu Ling didn't dare to underestimate this sword.
This sword was famous more than ten years ago, and it cost many people's lives.
Yu Dongran got straight to the point and said: "I want to know your so-called method of opening the chain lock, I won't let you enter the village until I am sure that it can be opened!"
Monday interjected and said, "Uncle, isn't this very good? It's a dark and windy night, if there's anything going on, you can find a place to sit down and talk about it." ”
Hearing Monday's voice, Yu Dongran realized that he had knocked his jaw in the ear of the three-legged double-eared Monday. His gaze was unexpectedly attracted by Tu Shan. Yu Dongran could guess that this was probably one of Wu Ling's earlier ways to tell him not to underestimate him.
can carry such a big tripod and walk freely, without a trace of panting, how much strength can be imagined.
However, compared to the hundreds of people who came to the official mansion, this is still a situation that Yu Dongran is more willing to see. There are only a few people in Wuling, even if Tushan is powerful, if Wuling is harmful, they have the possibility of escaping.
Dadong Village is surrounded by mountains, and for outsiders, there is no one to lead them into the mountains, and it is very easy to get lost, but he has lived in Dadong Mountain for nearly ten years, and he has already been familiar with the surrounding dozens of miles.
Wu Ling jumped off the horseback mountain, walked to the front of the carriage, and jumped up.
Ju Jingyue, who was in the carriage, heard the movement, opened her eyes in a daze, and said lazily with sleepy eyes: "Where are we?"
Wu Ling picked up the sword box and whispered: "When you arrive at a place in Dadong Village, you are going to spend the night here tonight, you can come down and lead your horse when you wake up, I still have something to do." ”
"I just fell asleep?"
Ju Jingyue immediately came to her senses.
Because she was so tired from riding a horse for a day, she planned to go to the carriage to rest, but who would have thought that she would fall asleep.
Ju Jingyue hurriedly pulled her clothes, and was relieved to see that they hadn't been flipped.
"Ju Jingyue, Ju Jingyue, you are too ......"
Ju Jingyue scolded herself in her heart, thinking that she might be in the same carriage with Wuling just now, her face couldn't help but flush.
However, before she could react too much, Wu Ling hurriedly walked out of the carriage with the sword box.
Ju Jingyue regarded Wu Ling's move as dissatisfaction with his entry into the carriage without permission, so she gave Wu Ling a roll of her eyes, and said in a low voice: "Hmph, isn't it just to sleep in your carriage, I haven't disliked it yet, you are disgusted, it's a big deal that I'll give you the transportation fee." ”
Wu Ling took the sword box, walked in front of Yu Dongran, and said, "Inside my sword box, there is an extremely sharp sword that can cut off the anklets on the feet of the Sanxiu girl. ”
Yu Dongran saw that Wuling's method was to slash with a sword, and he was slightly disappointed.
He had already tried this method, and he had found several swords, many of which were famous, but all of them were in vain.
According to Yu Dongran's guess, if you want to cut off the anklets on Sanxiu's feet, you must at least have to win the sword at the Sword Meeting, and this is still the lowest prediction.
The Sword Tasting Club has not been worth many years, once every three years, and in the last 100 years, there have been thirty-three sword championships.
Therefore, among these swords, there are also three, six, nine and so on.
Like the Sword King who won the championship in Shushan Sword House ninety-six years ago, it is recognized as the best sword forged in the past hundred years.
In addition to the forging method, the material and time of day are also very important.
Because of this, the quality of the sword that wins the championship in each sword will be different.
Even so, every sword that wins the championship, once it comes out, will be sold by major forces or emperors of various countries for a lot of money, which is hard to find and very rare.
Looking at Wuling's confident appearance, Yu Dongran only hoped that the sword box inside was the sword that had won the championship in the Sword Club.
Only in this way can there be some hope.
Wu Ling said: "Seniors, rest assured, the swords inside are not inferior to those swords that will win the championship." ”
Wu Ling saw Ju Jingyue come out of the carriage, pointed to the water moon in Ju Jingyue's hand and said, "The senior doesn't believe me, so you should believe the water moon in her hand, right?"
Yu Dongran looked at it and saw the sword held by Ju Jingyue, the scabbard was inlaid with gold with the words "Moon in Water", even if it was covered by night, it was still faintly visible.
Yu Dongran, as a master of using swords, has naturally heard of famous swords such as Shui Zhongyue, which is famous in the thirteen countries of Kyushu.
Ju Jingyue was dissatisfied with Wu Ling exposing the name of the sword in her hand to outsiders, so she held the sword in her arms and said, "My sword and horse will not be borrowed, don't even think about it!"
Zhou Zhou said weakly: "Little cousin, you are too much, aren't you? If it wasn't for Brother Qilin to ride a horse for you just now, your horse would have fallen into the mountain and been eaten by a big worm." Besides, Brother Qilin's sword is no worse than yours. ”
"What?"
Ju Jingyue was furious, and looked at Wuling angrily, "You guy actually rode Xiao Xue'er?"
Wu Ling said with an innocent face: "Don't look at me like that, as Junior Brother Zhou said, if it weren't for me, your little Xue'er would have fallen into the mountain long ago." Besides, you occupy the carriage, and I don't ride your horse, so I can't walk, right?"
Ju Jingyue said angrily: "That's not good!"
When Yuanyou first went out, she promised Xiao Xueer that apart from her, only her future husband could ride Xiao Xue'er.
Now this guy has ridden Xiao Xue'er without her consent.
Thinking of this, Ju Jingyue couldn't get angry.
However, Ju Jingyue also knew that there was a big problem with this matter, so she no longer argued, "Anyway, you are not allowed to ride my little Xue'er in the future, if there is such a situation, you can just let Monday lead you!"
"Me?"
Monday was stunned and looked innocent.
Ju Jingyue glared at Monday, "What, you don't want to?"
Monday cried and mourned, and quickly waved his hand, "No...... Nope!"
Yu Dongran turned to face the village and said, "Have you said enough?
Wu Ling nodded and said, "Seniors can go first." ”
Several people followed Yu Dongran into the village, this time was the time for the villagers to eat, and from time to time they could hear the sound of adults calling their children home for dinner.
Yu Dongran's family lives in a remote corner of Cun Village, and the mountains and forests are behind the house, so that they can escape when they encounter danger.
There is a courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence in front of the house.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can see two rows of golden chrysanthemums that are blooming brightly and are still bud-like.
A faint fragrance comes uninvited.
To Wu Ling's extreme surprise, the fragrance was not the floral fragrance of chrysanthemums, but the smell of the first secret letter he received today.
"Is it a coincidence, or ......?"
Wu Ling's originally leisurely heart suddenly became cautious and vigilant.
