Volume 2 Treading Chapter 5 Summer Fall City
Lu Sanchuan had deep internal strength, and he was the first to wake up, lying on the table with his eyes open, only to feel a splitting headache. He put his right hand behind his head, slapped his left hand on the table three times, did not touch the painting sword, immediately raised his head and opened his eyes, saw himself sitting in the room, his heart was surprised, his head turned left and right, and saw Jiang Chengzi sitting on the ground with the painting sword, so he immediately asked: "Senior Jiang, why am I here?"
Jiang Chengzi snorted coldly and shot his painting sword at him, "Your vigilance is too low, and you have been drugged!"
Lu Sanchuan caught the painting sword, looked at it for a moment, and muttered: "How come...", his eyes rolled around, and when he saw the Luan brothers lying on the table and Su Qing lying on the bed still not awake, he had to believe it, and after a while, he suddenly said, "What about Brother Ouyang?"
Jiang Chengzi said in a low voice: "I'm probably still asleep below! I don't know him well, so naturally I won't bring him with me." ”
Lu Sanchuan knew Jiang Chengzi's temperament, so he didn't dare to refute, but just said, "Then I'll go down and have a look", and went out.
He went down the stairs, but he didn't see Ouyang Yuqing, and he searched in the tavern for a while, but still found nothing, so he had to ask the shopkeeper Hong, "Excuse me, where is the person lying on the table just now?"
Shopkeeper Hong glanced at him as he pointed at, "You mean, Wang Mao, who had dinner with you before, has already run away." ”
Lu Sanchuan's eyebrows tightened, and he faintly felt that something was wrong, "Wang Mao, isn't his name Ouyang Yuqing?"
Shopkeeper Hong shrugged his shoulders, and Gu Zi calculated the morning's expenses and income, "How do I know, he will call himself Wang Mao for a while, Ouyang Yuqing for a while, and Lu Sanchuan a few days ago." But he only needs to pay for his meals, and nothing else has anything to do with me. ”
After hearing this, Lu Sanchuan looked extremely serious, turned back to the guest room, and told Jiang Chengzi everything, but Jiang Chengzi laughed after listening to it, "I see! He held the chopsticks and turned around before, and he had sprinkled the drug in the meal, and then urged us to eat quickly, just to force us to take the bait! Jiang Chengzi, Jiang Chengzi, you have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and you have actually been planted in such a crude method!"
Lu Sanchuan hung his head, he really didn't know why this was so.
Jiang Chengzi sneered: "Boy, you have remembered that you have eaten a trench and grown wise! If you don't know the details of the other party, opening your mind is tantamount to death! Unless you have already heard of his name and know that he is uninhibited and high-spirited, you can raise a glass and drink with him!"
Lu Sanchuan nodded, glanced at the Luan brothers in a blink of an eye, and saw that they were still not awake, so he had a plan and blurted out: "Yuan Qiming is back with fine wine!"
The Luan brothers woke up immediately.
Luan Buwei shouted: "Door master!"
Luan Wei shouted, "Wine!"
But I saw Jiang Chengzi with a stiff face and Lu Sanchuan with a smile, as well as an empty room.
The two of them immediately softened, and each raised his hand to touch his face.
Jiang Chengzi sneered, "Boy, you're quite smart! What about Qing'er?"
Lu Sanchuan glanced up at Su Qing, and he really didn't feel good in his heart. Not only because Jiang Chengzi called Su Qing so intimately, but also because of his complicated feelings for Su Qing. He pondered for a long time, but shook his head, "Senior Jiang, it's better to leave Brother Luan, Brother Buwei and Miss Su here, and the two of us will go to visit Granny Xia!"
Jiang Chengzi said coldly, "The idea is good, but is it okay to say goodbye without saying goodbye like this?Have you ever thought about what Qing'er would do when she woke up and disappeared from you?"
How could Lu Sanchuan not know? It was precisely because he didn't want to see Su Qing's care that he wanted to leave Su Qing behind. But since Jiang Chengzi said it, he had no choice but to nod.
Jiang Chengzi glanced at him disdainfully, walked to the bedside, and whispered in Su Qing's ear, "Lu Sanchuan is in danger. ”
"Lu Sanchuan!" Su Qing immediately opened his eyes and screamed, and he sat up and was about to go to the ground.
Jiang Chengzi smiled and pressed her shoulder, and said gently, "It's okay." We already know where Sword Mountain is, but it is very difficult to go up the mountain, you and Qianxingmen stay here, Lu Sanchuan and I will go up the mountain, and we will come back when we see Xia Chengcheng and ask the truth. ”
"But..."Su Qing turned his head to look at Lu Sanchuan, and saw that Lu Sanchuan was just looking out the window casually, so he had no choice but to nod, grabbed Jiang Chengzi's arm and said, "Then you guys go and go back quickly! But don't let Lu Sanchuan get hurt." ”
Jiang Chengzi smiled and bowed, but when he faced Lu Sanchuan, he was cold and ruthless, "Let's go." ”
Lu Sanchuan answered, and said to the Luan brothers, "Brother Luan, not for the eldest brother, you can rest here for a while, and I will come with Senior Jiang." Then he turned around and went out.
Su Qing stretched his neck and looked at Lu Sanchuan and went out, gritted his teeth and thought for a moment, lifted the quilt and went to the ground, about to snatch the door out.
The Luan brothers both stopped in front of her, "Miss Su, you better rest! With your martial arts, if you go, it will involve them!"
Although Su Qing has always been cold-blooded, once it gets hot, it is comparable to the hot magma, "Who said that I would involve them, you get out of the way for me." ”
The Luan brothers glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"You guys get out of the way for me!" Su Qing shouted, seeing that they still didn't mean to get out of the way, he ran to the table and picked up his sword, drew his sword and slashed at them.
The Luan brothers were already on par with Su Qing's martial arts, and Su Qing had a sword in his hand, and he couldn't hurt her, so he was rushed out of the door by Su Qing after three or two moves.
Su Qing didn't even insert the sword back into the sheath, ran downstairs wildly, and when he rushed out of the door, Lu Sanchuan and Jiang Chengzi were on horseback, and they were already galloping past at great speed.
She only saw a back, and it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Su Qing just looked. After a while, the Luan brothers rushed out of the tavern one after another, settled around her, and said, "Miss Su, let's go back." ”
What could Su Qing do? She just didn't understand why Lu Sanchuan didn't even look at her before leaving.
Lu Sanchuan and Jiang Chengzi rode their horses out of twenty miles, and saw a bare white mountain standing in the middle of the continuous green.
The mountain was straight and straight, and the foot of the mountain was as wide as the top of the mountain, like a great sword stuck into the clouds.
Lu Sanchuan couldn't help but sigh: "What a sword mountain!"
The two drove their horses to the sword mountain, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they looked up and saw that the cliff was smooth and washy, and there was only a small black spot above five zhang. That's the sword that was completely submerged by the sword idiot.
Jiang Chengzi got off the horse, tied the reins to the trunk of a tree, walked to the edge of the mountain wall, and reached out to touch it, which was as cool as water. "Boy, you go first!"
Lu Sanchuan followed, looked up, and saw three or four faint black spots, "Senior Jiang, please go first!"
Jiang Chengzi snorted: "Don't talk nonsense! If I go up first, how will I know if you fall? You go first, if you fall off without effort, I can also give you a hand." ”
Lu Sanchuan no longer refutated, looked up at the nearest black spot, jumped forward, stepped on the hilt of the sword with his left foot firmly outside the exposed stone, and then lifted his right knee and soared upward.
Jiang Chengzi waited at the bottom of the mountain, pondering that Lu Sanchuan should step on the twentieth hilt, and then lifted up, his feet continued to step over the sword path one after another, and rushed straight to the top of the mountain.
The higher you go, the thinner and colder the air becomes, and the more tired your body becomes.
When Lu Sanchuan stepped on the fiftieth sword path, he could already see the faint clouds, wrapped around his body, and when he stepped on the eighty-fifth sword path, he was even more out of breath and his eyes were blurred, but he knew in his heart that at this time, he could only go up, and if he fell, he would definitely die.
He gritted his teeth, rose hard, and stepped on the eighty-sixth sword path, but he had to bend his knees for a while, and it was also because of this short pause that his body stiffened, and his feet slipped and he fell from the way of the sword.
Jiang Chengzi arrived in time, grabbed him by the collar with one hand, and shouted, like a Dapeng who went straight to the sky, stepped on the sword path one after another, rushed to the top of the mountain, and then threw Lu Sanchuan on the ground casually, stared at him, and said coldly, "It's not good to do it to such an extent!"
Lu Sanchuan lay on the ground panting, and after a stick of incense, he finally had the strength, stood up with difficulty, did not dare to look directly at Jiang Chengzi, and replied: "The junior martial arts are still shallow, and they still need to be exercised." ”
Jiang Chengzi snorted, "It's good to know", and walked forward.
The two of them walked through a forest and saw a thatched hut sitting on top of the clearing, and when they thought about it, they knew that this was the residence of Xia Chengcheng.
Although Jiang Chengzi is very old, he still doesn't dare to be too arrogant about the daughter of a sword idiot. He walked to the thatched hut five zhang away, saluted respectfully to the thatched hut, and opened his throat and said, "Junior Jiang Chengzi has come to meet Senior Xia!"
There was no sound in the hut.
Lu Sanchuan stepped forward, stood one step behind Jiang Chengzi, buried his body very low, and said respectfully: "Senior Lu Sanchuan is here to meet Senior Xia!"
There was still no sound in the hut.
Jiang Chengzi and Lu Sanchuan glanced at each other, felt strange, and took a step forward, but at this moment, four silver needles shot towards the two of them.
The two of them each performed the Qianling False Step, dodged the silver needle, and then withdrew three steps away, only to hear someone in the hut say coldly, "Since you can avoid my silver needle, what are you afraid of!"
Jiang Chengzi said: "This is respect rather than fear. ”
The people in the hut laughed twice, "Count yourself smart, come in!"
The two of them walked together and walked up the wooden staircase to the outside of the wooden door. Jiang Chengzi raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but hesitated for a moment.
The door suddenly opened, and there was the sound of a harp.
Lu Sanchuan looked at it and saw a woman sitting in the middle of the room, dressed in red clothes, playing the piano by herself, and the sound of the piano was resentful, as if she was complaining.
After a few moments, the woman looked up.
Where is the face of a person called a "mother-in-law"? The willow eyebrows are slender, the phoenix eyes are charming, and the skin is like a newborn baby, white and silky, and can be broken by blowing.
Lu Sanchuan took a second look, but he happened to be caught by Xia Chengcheng. Xia Qingcheng smiled and asked, "Little ghost, mother-in-law, am you born so good-looking?"
Lu Sanchuan immediately put away his gaze and shifted his gaze, very embarrassed, "Senior Xia, I'm really sorry! I heard that you are the daughter of the sword idiot senior, and I heard others call you Granny Xia, I guessed that you should be a white-haired old woman, but I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful." ”
Xia Qingcheng "giggled" a few times, and after a while, he lost his mind and was lonely again, gently plucking the strings, "But why, he doesn't look down on me?"
