Chapter 200: Qingyue City
Chen Tuzhi's words, Hong Chen had already thought about it, when the master sent him out of Taoyuan, he was vague, and what kind of knife he was looking for was only a temporary guess. Whether there will be such a knife is still unknown. What's more, what is the use of finding that knife and returning to Taoyuan?
No matter how good a knife is, there is no steamed bun tube full, in Taoyuan, the knife only needs to be able to cut bamboo, chop wood, cut vegetables, and chop meat. There is a blacksmith in Taoyuan, and he smelts and polishes kitchen knives, firewood knives, and bamboo knives, and he doesn't need an outside knife. The master asked himself to find a knife, and the purpose was really unpredictable. Or is it just an excuse to get out of the woods and never go back?
Relying on speculation alone can't get the right answer, Hong Chen can only take one step at a time, walking in this world. Having a purpose is also equal to having no purpose, and having no purpose is also equal to having a purpose. Searching for a knife is not the ultimate meaning of being a traveler, but it is also excellent to enjoy the scenery and food along the way.
Chen Tu is different. He has a goal and knows what needs to be done to accomplish it. Therefore, every time the purposeful Chen Tu looks at the river, all his thoughts and thoughts turn into worry, while the purposeless Hong Chen looks at the river, but his imagination is full of prospects.
Two people on the same journey have completely different moods. Therefore, they rarely speak, and it is extremely difficult for them to have a common hobby in each place, except for the famous soldiers who act together to plunder the various forces. In his occasional leisure time, Hong Chen naturally wants to climb the Yellow Crane Tower in Qingyang City, where countless literati left poems in the previous dynasty, and after looking at the rolling river, he will go to the restaurant below to eat a bowl of hot dry sesame sauce noodles. Chen Tu would only buy a pot of spirits, sit on the side of the cruise ship, gaze at the river all day long, raise the wine jug from time to time, and pour wine into his mouth one by one.
When they left Qingyang City, it was late autumn, and the two rode horses to the place where the mountains were yin and the water was yang, but they saw that the mountains were full of gold, and the ancient road was piled up with layers of thick fan-shaped dead leaves. The horse's hooves crushed the ginkgo biloba leaves, and the chrysanthemums gradually withered along the way. Rao is warm south also entered the cold season at this time, Hong Chen put on a cloak to block the wind, and also brought a hood from Qiangzhou on his head, but Chen Tu was still wearing a single coat, and his hair that had not been taken care of for a long time was messy in the wind.
"Further south is Qingyue City. Hong Chen pointed ahead and said, "Let's take the dry road into the city, rest for two days, and then visit the various forces." I believe that the people on Qingyue's side will be the same as Qingyang's, and they don't want to make more trouble, so they will give you the blade directly. ”
Chen Tu said: "That's good. But we have been around for too long, and our whereabouts have been leaked along the way. Qingyue's side was Chu in ancient times, and the folk customs were stronger than Qingyang's, and it is not yet known whether they will take the initiative to deal with us. ”
"You are careful all the way, and you even carefully check the bowl of noodles, how can they have a chance. Hong Chen said, "Even if they want to cause trouble, they will only add it openly." After all, our reputation outside is still that of weirdos, weirdos, only take the blade, do not hurt people's lives, and do not harm the innocent, and these martial arts people are not embarrassed to be too black. What's more, with so many precedents in front of them, no matter how much they lose their swords, they just go with the crowd and don't look too embarrassed. ”
Chen Tu thought for a while and said, "What you said also makes sense. Oh, these martial arts sects, heroes of the rivers and lakes, what they like most is reputation and face, and the blade is second to them. As long as they can save face, they are willing to break the bank and eliminate disasters. When we were in Qingyang City, weren't there two heads of small sects who wanted to befriend us? It's also interesting, I didn't expect that the two of us had a lot of status in the rivers and lakes from the people in the barren state, and now we have a lot of status in the rivers and lakes, although the reputation is not very good, but it is good enough. ”
While the two were talking, a group of men and horses suddenly came from behind and galloped past. The two of them only glanced at each other, and saw that these people were all armed with knives, obviously from the Jianghu sect, so they urged the horses to catch up. Who knew that some of the people in that team saw them, and just ran out for a short distance before they stopped their horses, and the leader of them hugged his fists towards Hong Chen and Chen Tu, and said, "Dare to ask if the two are the two heroes of Black Tea and Chen Tu?"
Chen Tu said: "Forget it, I'm Chen Tu." ”
The leader was a middle-aged man with two mustaches, with a sturdy figure, and said happily when he heard this: "I just saw that your horse is extraordinary, black all over, and the four hooves are snow-white, so I guessed that it is the black tea hero's treasure horse and the dark clouds stepping on the snow." I didn't expect it to be two heroes. ”
Hong Chen asked: "Who are the seniors? Since you know that it is the two of us, you still take the initiative to stop, is it looking for us to have something?" Ordinary people on the rivers and lakes are too shy to treat themselves and Chen Tu, even if those forces in Qingyang City are respectful to the two of them, none of them dare to take the initiative to talk to them.
"The seniors don't dare to be, in Xia Feng Jinchan, he is an elder of the Nanjiang Sword Sect. The middle-aged man arched his hand again, "I rushed to Qingyue City with my disciples just to see the two." ”
Chen Tu frowned and said, "What is your purpose for looking for us?"
Feng Jincian smiled: "It's just to make friends with two heroes." We are not the only ones who are willing to make friends. Since the two of them appeared in Qingyang City, the eight sects, sixteen gangs, thirty-two sects and sixty-four factions in the west of Qingzhou received the news, and they were all rushing to Qingyue City, all to meet the two in Qingyue City and make friends with the two. Originally, the head of our Nanjiang Sword Sect was seriously ill, and it took a lot of time to choose someone to take charge of him, two to three days later than other forces, thinking that he would miss the opportunity to meet the two heroes, but he didn't want to catch up just in time, and met the two heroes on the road. It's so fateful, why don't we go together next!"
"Well, each one goes, each of you, and you go first. ”
Chen Tu's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand to let Feng Jincian leave.
"Then let's retire first - by the way, tell the two of you, everyone from all walks of life will be waiting for you to arrive at the Qingyue Tower in Qingyue City, and everyone's weapons are also with you. ”
Feng Jinchan was also very knowledgeable, and did not entangle with the two of them anymore, and took the disciples of the sect to hurry up and continue to rush towards Qingyue City.
Hong Chen asked Chen Tu: "Are you just driving people away?" Maybe they still have food on them, and if you go with them, you can eat at least two meals for nothing." ”
"Who knows what intentions these people have?" Chen Tu said, "The Nanjiang Knife Sect is just a small knife sect in Qingzhou that is not in the stream, and there are so many people in Qingyue City, so how many people are waiting for us in Qingyue City? I am afraid of thousands of people." ”
