After an inexplicable accident, the door of the tea house was opened wide and all the guests left in a hurry, fearing that they would be implicated in some way because they were slow.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, the teahouse owner closed the door immediately, seeing that he might not dare to open the door for three days or two. Businessmen like them are most afraid of people making trouble, so someone made a big fuss, although there was no smashing of tables, bowls, or fights.
It hurts people, but it's more serious than that. Businessmen are timid, so they naturally close their doors to avoid trouble.
But the boss closed the door and calmed down a little, and found that even the storyteller had disappeared into the crowd at some point, so he couldn't help but curse.
Two young men and women walked out with the flow of people. They were the two people who had just heard the "shocking ghosts and gods" sneer. They were not as panicked as the guests, and they looked a little unhappy at best.
"Really, a disgusting guy pops up every now and then." The girl complained loudly after walking out of the crowd, "Although the storyteller is boasting, his words are funny, and he insists on disturbing things that are just for fun. Who is disgusting?
?What's the point of scaring tea guests in a teahouse? The teahouse is full of idlers, and most of them don't know anything about making swords. Does he think he can scare the people at Zhuoyu Villa?"
The young man next to her was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin build. He muttered: "Yes, that person is very strange, and he is very agile. I didn't see clearly the movements he made. His strength is very good. Like him
There is really no need for such a master to show his holiness in front of ordinary people, it is completely meaningless."
The girl smiled and said: "Unless..."
The boy turned his head to listen, and the girl said: "Unless that guy really hates Zhuoyu Villa and can't hear any kind words. When he heard the storyteller praise Zhuoyu Villa, he couldn't stand it anymore. He insisted on going on stage to yell and spoil the situation.
It’s incredible.”
The young man laughed twice and said: "It's not impossible. We have been in Jichun City for a few days. According to my observation, half of the people in this city have evil intentions. The rest are mostly just watching the fun.
There are not many friendly people, just the locals and the proud ones. Zhuoyu Villa seems to be really hated by people." As he spoke, he pursed his lips and motioned to a middle-aged man who looked very elegant and passed by.
.
Nowadays, in the Spring City Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, any pedestrian on the street may be a hidden figure. If someone looks elegant, he may be a Talisman Sword Master or even a swordsmith. If he looks powerful, he may be a master of some kind.
Some of these people participated in the sword-making conference, but many of them seemed to be in no hurry to go up the mountain - these people had some problems. Guests who are truly friendly or even neutral when they come to Jichun City will naturally contact Zhuoyu Villa, or even
They have been picked up by Zhuoyu Villa and taken up the mountain. Some of those who are stranded and lingering in Chuncheng are probably not invited and come here to watch the excitement from a distance. The purpose of some others is even harder to say.
The girl also nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't know that before I came here. Zhuoyu Villa is unknown, and I have never heard of it before. It's just that this year they have a genius disciple from the Fuhui - oh, there are two of them.
It became famous. Later, there was something about forging swords, and I heard the name again, so I remembered this sect. I thought it was a small sect that was hidden from the world, but didn't I expect that it turned out to be a sect that causes trouble? "
The young man said: "A new generation replaces the old ones. Today they have a genius who became famous for a while. Maybe they also had such a genius back then, and they were also popular for a while, but as time went by, everyone forgot about it?" His voice lowered.
, said: "It's just that he is a genius who causes trouble. If he really has made so many enemies, then the sword making may really fail. We all know that the days when the sword is made are the closest to success and the easiest to fail.
. Because all the materials are healed at that moment, and failure will cause collapse. All it takes is someone to step in and interfere, and all the efforts of making a sword will be in vain. Have there not been many accidents in recent years? We are in prison ourselves.
This kind of thing happened too."
The girl nodded and suddenly smiled again: "I believe there are enemies in Zhuoyu Villa, but it would be too much to say that the whole world is an enemy. That person made many lies, such as the imperial court - he said that the imperial court did not allow Yunzhou to have enemies.
Swordsmiths are the same as those who are jealous of talents and talents. This is too much to underestimate us. Let alone the Imperial Master, what are the identities of our four swordsmiths? How many swordsmiths are there? What does it matter if there are one or two more? Do you really think that we are
Are they all narrow-minded people? Let me tell you, they are under siege because they cannot trust our Xuanshui Prison and do not communicate with us. If they want to be really registered and registered with the court, except for rebelling
Who among the thieves dares to challenge openly? This is all because of their excessive selfishness."
The young man said: "This is Yunzhou after all. All the princes in the world, especially the border counties, are like this. But fortunately, Marquis Gao Yuan is not a rebel, he is the least likely to rebel against the imperial court."
The girl said: "Yes, everyone in the court knows that Gao Yuanhou is trustworthy. That's why we came. The swordsmiths in the north are under the supervision of our Xuanshui. They don't understand. We came here on our own initiative and don't blame them."
, I hope they will not be ignorant of praise..."
Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine and she turned back suddenly.
Behind is a busy street with countless people coming and going, nothing surprising.
However, she just felt a cold gaze staring at her.
She pursed her lips, knowing something was wrong, so she didn't dare to speak anymore, and pulled the young man and the two of them away in a hurry.
After they left, a woman in white clothes wearing a curtain hat on the street smiled slightly, turned around and walked into a nearby shop.
The shop was different from ordinary shops. The six doors facing the street were all closed, as if they were not open. Only a small door was opened at the end. There was no signboard, only a small sign that read "White Jade"
"Two words.
When the woman in white entered the door, she saw that the shop was clean and tidy, with a counter at the front and several sets of tables and chairs in the middle. It didn't look like a shop, but rather like a teahouse.
A smartly dressed woman stood behind the counter. When she saw the woman in white entering the door, she came up to him and said, "Welcome. Please take a seat. What do you call me?"
The woman in white smiled and said: "Black Widow."
The woman was startled for a moment - in the blink of an eye, she immediately smiled and said: "Is it Master Yin? I've admired your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Please take a seat. What would you like to drink?"
Black Widow glanced at the other party with admiration. It was obvious that this girl was very talented. She could immediately remember her identity and nickname without searching, and she could deal with it appropriately. There was no such talent in her villa.
The girl poured water for the Black Widow, took out a gift box, and said: "Welcome to the sword-making conference, our villa will be full of glory. This is a voucher for you to go up the mountain, and a small gift for you. With this
With the voucher, you can freely participate in the sword-making conference, sightsee in the villa, participate in our Baiyushenghui activities, and redeem gifts. At the end, there is a number in it for a lucky draw. We will have a lucky draw on the last day, and there may be surprises.
"
Black Widow nodded politely and said, "Can I see Azhao when I go to the mountain?"
The girl smiled and said: "You can see it in the next few days, but now Mr. Tang is still making swords. According to the plan, the sword will be out of the furnace on the tenth day from today. Now the fourth senior sister is in charge of our shop, and the eighth senior brother is in charge of it.
He is responsible for picking up distinguished guests up the mountain. But today he went to Zhongtian Mansion to pick up a few people. He will come back tomorrow. If you are not in a hurry, why don't you wait until we go up the mountain together at Runcaodu tomorrow? If you are in a hurry, I will contact someone who will take you there..."
Black Widow said calmly: "I'm not in a hurry..."
Just as he was talking, there was a sound at the door, and a man rushed in, sweating profusely and looking very embarrassed. The man took a look at the foreigners inside, quickly restrained his behavior, straightened up and tugged on his clothes, and he was actually still a bit polite.
.
The girl asked curiously: "Mr. Liu? Why are you here?"
The man said: "Something happened in our teahouse, okay?" He glanced at the black widow.
The girl said: "Wait a minute." She turned back to the counter and called a young disciple from inside, asking Mr. Liu to go in and talk to him.
Black Widow saw the two people entering the door and said thoughtfully: "I have seen this man before. Isn't he a storyteller? Is he also a distinguished guest invited by you? Looking at his empty steps, he seems to be an ordinary person."
The girl smiled and explained: "He is an ordinary person. We have a cooperation with him. He helps us promote the benefits of our Zhuoyu Villa to merchants and elders in our hometown."
Black Widow chuckled and said: "I see, why do I always hear the library bragging about your conference? It seems that your high-profile publicity has made a lot of people unhappy. There are not just one or two who are causing trouble overtly or covertly. If this continues
,Is the sword-making conference okay?"
The girl glanced at the Black Widow. She didn't know the Black Widow, so she couldn't confide in her heart. She just said with a hearty smile: "Of course there is no problem. They are deliberately planning to cause trouble. Haven't we done anything in the past six months? We should have made arrangements earlier.
That’s it. The sword-making convention is for everyone to enjoy and celebrate together, not for the young to ruin it.”
Black Widow said: "I see there are a lot of bad-hearted people out there. Do you have enough people?"
She asked carefully, and the girl became more confident and said: "What's not enough? We not only have enemies, but also many friends. This time we are facing not only the strength of my family, but every friend is a strength."
.”
Black Widow smiled and said: "Oh? Then I can be considered Azhao's friend, right?"
The girl was startled again. Maybe she was, but she actually didn’t recognize this person. Maybe she wasn’t, because he was called “A Zhao” so affectionately. How could she not respond? Then she smiled and said, “Of course you are.”
Otherwise, why would Senior Brother Tang specially invite you here? I will have to rely on your strength after going up the mountain."
Black Widow smiled and said: "According to what you say, I'm not in a hurry to go up the mountain."
The girl was startled.
Black Widow smiled and said: "What can I do up the mountain? I'm not a swordsman, and I don't understand talismans. Even if you don't like some martial arts, I'd be embarrassed to mention it. Only the evil and ruthless nature I've been trained since childhood is always good.
Forget. I think it would be more useful for me to stay at the foot of the mountain. After all, half of those who are dissatisfied with you are concentrated in Jichun City."
The girl swallowed slightly and said, "You want..."
Black Widow did not answer, but said: "There are nine days left for the sword-making conference, right? Then I still have a few days, so I have to do something quickly."
