Chapter 1693: Once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea (20)
After figuring out the crux of the matter, the guard walked up to Lan Ruyun and bowed down to salute, "I just humbled my position, please forgive me, girl."
The people Lan Ruyun saw on weekdays were either those on the mountain who would always greet everyone's family, or those down below who would stay away from her.
In addition, everyone was ashamed of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and felt that saluting them would be a loss of reputation, so most of the time, these people walked around Lan Ruyun.
Therefore, it is really unusual for Lan Ruyun to salute Lan Ruyun like this person so respectfully.
Lan Ruyun, who was very unaccustomed to others being polite to her, hurriedly bowed down and returned the courtesy to the man, "We are all children of the world, so there is no need to be so polite."
Lan Ruyu helplessly held her forehead from behind. When did her sister become a child of the Jianghu, and they have the name of Huaiyin Houfu after all. Does Lan Ruyun want to have such a strong Jianghu spirit?
After bowing to each other, the guard tentatively asked Lan Ruyun, "I wonder if the sword in your hand can be borrowed from my humble position to take a look at it."
At this time, Lan Ruyun's reaction was much faster: "No, this is my family's heirloom."
The guard didn't expect that he would be rejected so cleanly, so he quickly explained, "I just saw that the sword in the girl's hand was very powerful, so I wanted to broaden my horizons and hope that the girl would be successful."
The clinker Lan Ruyun shook her head again, "No."
Guard: "This girl is really straightforward and not pretentious at all. Even if she refuses someone, she is so simple and clear."
Just when the guard seemed to be talking again, he heard Wei Rongzu showing his head from behind the guard, "Aren't you the one who wanted to sell this family heirloom? Just give me a price and I will buy it."
As a famous second-generation ancestor, there is really no pressure at all to spend money seriously, especially after seeing the expressions of the guards, he spent the money more willingly.
After listening to Wei Rongzu's words, Lan Ruyu took two steps forward, "The heirlooms of my Lan family are very expensive." How could Wei Rongzu, the second generation ancestor, afford them.
Seeing Lan Ruyu's expression of clearly looking down on him, Wei Rongzu flapped his nose angrily twice and said in a bad tone, "I have a lot of money, let alone your family heirloom, even the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, I can afford it.
You make an offer."
Lan Ruyu turned away angrily, she didn't want to talk to this second generation ancestor.
But in a place where no one could see, Lan Ruyu showed a fleeting smile waiting for these words.
He carefully handed the sword to the guard's hand. The guard almost staggered when the sword fell. The sword was much heavier than he thought.
I didn't expect that the two girls from the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion were really so powerful.
After that, the guard took the sword and looked at it carefully. No matter how he looked at it, the sword seemed to have no edge. The guard really couldn't figure out how on earth such a blunt sword could cut off his sharp iron sword.
Clay sword.
The guard was very confused. He raised the sword in his hand and turned to look at the men behind him, "Cut me with your sword."
The subordinate was obedient. He took out his sword from his waist and gently touched it with the guard's sword. He had been begging for this sword with great difficulty, so he couldn't break it in such an unknown way.
The guard was about to scold his subordinate for not eating. Who would have thought that in this flash of lightning, he heard a snap and the sword in his subordinate's hand was broken again without any suspense.
Everyone present took a breath at the same time. If it was the first time the sword was broken, it might be because of the little girl.
My mother's martial arts skills are very strong, so the second broken sword was purely due to the weapon. After all, everyone just saw clearly that the guard's men didn't use any force at all, and the two swords were just so lightly connected.
That's all.
His subordinates looked at their broken sword with tears in their eyes. It was his life. Was it just broken like this?
The guard's hand holding the sword shook slightly, and he turned to Wei Rongzu for instructions, "Sir, can you lead the pig here?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Rongzu hurriedly sent Chang Sui to his side, "Don't you understand what people are saying? Hurry up and get a pig for me."
Chang Sui responded and was just about to leave when he heard a man's cry from the crowd, "I have a pig at home. Just wait for me and I will get it over now."
Seeing someone volunteering to find a pig, Wei Rongzu casually took out a golden barley seed from his arms and threw it into the man's hand, "Go and get it quickly."
Then he kicked Chang Sui beside him and said, "Follow me."
Perhaps the temptation to watch the excitement was too great, so the man and Chang Sui soon drove the pigs back.
Instructing Chang Sui to control the pig, the guard put the sword in his hand to the neck and lightly slashed it. The pig let out a scream, then ran away, but the pig's head fell to the ground.
The guard stood there holding the sword, staring at the dead pig's head. The pig's blood dripped quickly along the blade of the sword, leaving not even a drop of blood on the sword.
Unwilling to give up, the guard pulled a few hairs from his head and threw them at the sword blade, causing the hair in his hand to break at the same time.
Seeing that the guard was trying endlessly, Lan Ruyu stepped forward and took the sword from the guard's hand, and wrapped the sword tightly with the rag strips that had just been wrapped around the sword. "Are you ready? This is the heirloom of my Huaiyin Marquis Mansion."
, do you want to buy it?"
The guard obviously hadn't woken up from the shock just now. He didn't expect that the down-and-out Huaiyin Marquis Mansion actually had a peerless sword. Such a treasure could indeed be regarded as a family heirloom.
Looking distressedly at the sword wrapped in rags in Lan Ruyu's hand, the guard could not calm down for a long time. If this sword was placed in his hand, he would definitely use the finest wood and the most gorgeous gems to make the hilt for it.
He's scabbard will never waste natural resources like Marquis Huaiyin.
Thinking of this, the guard suddenly discovered a problem. If the sword was so sharp, why didn't the rag wrapped around him break?
The guard's eyes fell on the rags wrapped around the sword, and then he noticed with sharp eyes that the rags seemed to be very different from those he usually saw.
Before the guard could speak, Wei Rongzu had already walked towards Sister Lan Ruyu, "How much is your heirloom? I want it."
After hearing Wei Rongzu's bold words, the crowd suddenly burst into cheers.
Wei Rongzu was even more proud when he heard this. He raised his neck high and waited for Lan Ruyu to bid.
Lan Ruyu has never sold anything on the street like this. While hesitating, he heard Lan Ruyun shout out the price, "Twenty thousand taels of silver, not a penny less."
After all, he is a martial arts practitioner, so Lan Ruyun has some understanding of the price of weapons.
But who would have thought that as soon as she shouted out the price, a happy smile appeared on Wei Rongzu's face.
Wei Rongzu's smile immediately made the Lan sisters nervous whether they had lowered the price.
Instructing one of his subordinates to go back to the accountant to get the money, Wei Rongzu's attitude was much better this time. "Miss Lan Er, my subordinate has gone back to withdraw the money. Can you please let me play with the sword again." After figuring out the key to the matter,
The guard walked up to Lan Ruyun and bent down to salute, "I just humbled my position. Please forgive me, girl."
The people Lan Ruyun saw on weekdays were either those on the mountain who would always greet everyone's family, or those down below who would stay away from her.
