Chapter 268: Go up the mountain to thank Mrs. Richelieu for the silver alliance
Chapter 268 Going up the mountain (Thank you Madame Richelieu for the big silver alliance)
As the Sword Forging Conference approaches, the bustle of Jichun City becomes more and more intense day by day. The legend of the Sword Forging Conference changes from moment to moment. People who have been in Jichun City for a long time, and those with slightly soft ears, are most likely to fall into cognitive confusion.
, one moment I thought there was a fairy cave in Jiugao Mountain where everyone could go and seek immortality. The next moment I heard that the rebel army was coming and Chuncheng was about to fall.
On this day, there was another secret rumor circulating in the city, and the city gradually became commotion. Some martial arts masters were watching the excitement, but they were also involved unknowingly.
Among them, people continue to enter the Shura field of Jichun City, and some people leave on their own initiative.
In the early morning, several large vehicles set off from the north gate of Jichun City and drove along the road to the mountainous areas further north.
These large carts all have green cloth hoods, and are pulled by no more than green and gray mules. They seem to be ordinary vehicles used by the people to travel and pull goods. But an expert who has stepped on the plate can tell that these carts are
The ruts on the road are very deep, and the vehicle is obviously heavy, and the vehicle is not pulling ordinary goods. If it were in other more chaotic states and counties, there might be strong people trying to take action. Fortunately, Jiugao Mountain has always been clean and can accommodate all kinds of people.
Cars and horses pass by.
The vehicle drove for half a day and gradually entered the mountains. The road condition was getting worse every mile. The dirt road was narrow and winding, and two vehicles could not go parallel. Fortunately, the road surface was relatively smooth. It seemed to be a newly paved gravel road, which could be used by vehicles, horses and drivers.
They are all good players, so they all went smoothly.
After walking for a while, the mountains on both sides became higher and higher, the jungles became denser, and we had entered the deep mountains and old forests. The wild grass was luxuriant beside the dirt road, and wild animals appeared frequently. Sometimes a roe deer emerged, and sometimes a pheasant flew out.
The car at the front is the lead car of the team, and the driver is a calm-looking young man. He drives the car in a leisurely and unhurried manner, as if he is an old man. No matter what unexpected situation occurs on the road, he steadily controls the speed of the car and controls the speed of the car.
Depends on the traveling speed of the entire convoy.
Pulling-
Suddenly, a bird with brilliant feathers flew out of the woods and flew right on the mule's head. The mule's sight was blocked, and he shook his head wildly. Just as he was about to kick off, the young man flicked his wrist and used a whip like an arm to whip out.
With a light roll, he rolled the bird up all over, pulled it close, and caught it in his hand. The whole process was neat and tidy. Not only did the mule not be hurt, but even a few of the bird's feathers in the whip roll were not broken off.
He relaxed his riding whip, stretched out his fingers to hold the bird, and saw that it was a long-tailed pheasant that is common in the mountains. He was very frightened at this moment. It struggled and screamed in his hand, but it could not escape the gentle grasp of his three fingers.
The young man smiled slightly and said: "Why are you panicking? Are you afraid that I will put you in the soup pot? No, no one will give you money."
After that, he let go and let the freed pheasant stumble into the forest.
The catch and release lasted only a moment, the team did not slow down, and the cars behind did not even know what was happening in front of them.
Suddenly, a bright color flashed in the woods ahead, like the gorgeous feathers of a pheasant.
However, this time the young man's face changed slightly, his eyes that seemed to be squinting but not squinting suddenly opened, his gaze as sharp as lightning.
"who?"
As he shouted loudly, the entire convoy stopped together. No one gave an order, but all the animals were restrained at the same time, without any chaos and with well-trained behavior.
"Ah, don't be nervous, it's not a robbery."
A big girl emerged from the woods. The girl was tall, with a slender waist and long legs. She had a handsome appearance with a hint of heroism. She was dressed in red and white. She looked like a knight-errant.
"Well..." She smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I'm lost and want to ask for directions."
When the young man driving the bus saw her generous appearance and sincere explanation, his face relaxed and his body returned to a relaxed posture. However, his hands were put in his sleeves as if to keep warm. He smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that I am asking for directions. The girl wants to go."
where?"
The tall girl smiled and said: "That - Runcaodu, do you know?"
The young man's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "Is this..."
"Little sister, since you are going to Runcaodu, you must be going to Zhuoyu Villa?"
A woman's voice came from the mule cart behind, and a beautiful middle-aged woman in a cloth skirt and jade hairpin got out of the car and walked forward.
The two women looked at each other across from each other. In terms of appearance, the tall girl who stopped the car was much younger. She was at the age when spring bloomed, so her appearance was naturally more prosperous. But in terms of charm, the beautiful woman who got off the car was far superior.
.Facing the two of them, the young girl looked frail.
The girl who stopped the car saluted and said: "I have met this lady, so what? I am going to Zhuoyu Villa. I heard that I will meet at Runcaodu, right?"
The beautiful middle-aged woman nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, we are also going to Zhuoyu Villa. Since we are traveling together, we are destined, why don't we get in the car and have a ride?"
The girl immediately agreed: "If I don't get it, I'm just disturbing my wife."
The beautiful woman took her to the second car, and there was also a young man with a handlebar waiting in front of the car.
The young man had an indifferent look on his face and bowed to his wife, letting him drive. The tall girl felt that he looked familiar for some reason, and after taking another look, she suddenly realized that the handlebar style was very similar to the handlebar style of the car in front of her.
This similarity does not mean that they have similar looks, nor does it mean that they have similar temperaments. In fact, the two of them are cold and warm, and their temperaments are very different. But aside from these appearances, she sensitively discovered that there are very similar places between the two people.
A very dangerous feeling.
The beautiful woman saw that she noticed the handlebar style and smiled: "This is my son."
The girl was stunned. The beautiful woman's appearance was not similar to this young man at all. Could this be mother and son? She could only say politely: "Young Master is really a talented person."
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Not only him, but every driver here is my son."
The girl let out a sigh and swept across a row of carts. There were seven carts here, and each handlebar was an adult. How old was this beautiful woman? Then she realized what she was doing and said, "She's the foster son of a man, right?"
?”
The beautiful woman smiled and nodded, saying: "That's right, I adopted them."
The girl nodded. Although it was a bit strange for a woman to adopt so many godsons, it didn't mean it couldn't be done. Everything was possible in the world. There were still people who had adopted more than a hundred godsons.
The second car was filled with large boxes, and there wasn't much room to sit. The beautiful woman raised her hand, lifted one box and stacked it on top of another. The girl hurriedly said: "I'll do it." She stretched out her hand.
As soon as he set up the box, he weighed it, glanced at the beautiful woman, and stacked the box up. When the two boxes came into contact, they made a "bang" sound, like two big rocks colliding. She praised: "Madam, you are so strong.
"
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "The older girl is even more naturally gifted with supernatural powers."
The two sat side by side in the car, and the convoy set off again.
The beautiful woman took out the washed fruit from the bag and handed it over, and said with a smile: "I heard that the girl's accent is from Daizhou in the west. It's hard work coming to Yunzhou. Are you here to seek magic tools at Zhuoyu Villa?"
The girl said: "No, I'm here to visit a friend. A friend of mine at Zhuoyu Villa specially invited me to attend the banquet he hosted. I originally thought I didn't want to come. But when I thought about it, I didn't care about such a big thing.
If you don’t go, that would be too uncouth, so I came here. Where is Madam?”
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "I came to see my daughter. My daughter is studying at Zhuoyu Villa. As a mother, I couldn't let go, so I went up to see her."
"Oh...then those boxes..."
The beautiful woman said: "They are all my daughter's dowry. I am a spoiled girl, and I'm afraid she won't be able to live in the thatch on the mountain. I have to bring every quilt, pillow, tent and towel with me."
The girl smiled heartily and said: "It turns out to be a quilt, haha. When I carried the weight of the box just now, I thought it was a box full of gold and silver jewelry, hahahaha..."
The two women chatted and laughed, chatting about the customs of different places and the scenery on the mountains. They were as warm as aunts and nephews, but they were missing a common procedure for making friends in the world-so far.
So far, the two of them have not shared the same name.
After walking on the mountain road for a while, the beautiful woman suddenly said: "Girl, have you been to Jichun City?"
The girl smiled and said, "Ah, yes, that's where I'm from."
The beautiful woman thought thoughtfully and said, "That's a little strange. There is a shop in Zhuoyu Villa in Jichun City, and there is a list of all the guests. As long as there is an invitation, each guest will send one pointing directly to Runcao Ferry.
Pointer, if you follow the pointer, you will never get lost. Why are you still getting lost, girl?"
The girl was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah... that... I didn't see the store. I'm a careless person and went straight up the mountain without entering the city."
The beautiful woman muttered: "That's it. But it's still strange..."
The girl had veins popping up on her forehead and said, "Why is it so strange?"
The beautiful woman said: "Then how do you know the words Runcao Ferry? This ferry was specially built to pick up guests from the sword-making conference. There was no such ferry before. You can't find it on the map. Ask ordinary people.
I can’t ask. Since I know this place, I must have been specifically pointed out by someone from the Villa in the city. Why do you say there are no pointers?”
The girl remained silent.
"Also -" the beautiful woman said in a very brisk, young and playful voice: "The mountain roads here have been renovated. There is only one road that goes straight up the mountain. You can walk up it with your eyes closed. You can get lost this way.
Isn’t it too strange?”
"Strange-strange... what a piece of shit!"
The girl couldn't bear it any longer, jumped up and said, "Oh my god, you're suffocating me to death. I just said that I'm not suitable for such a sideways job. It's better to go straight."
She waved her hand casually, and a sword light seemed to light up in the carriage, turning the empty room white.
"I just find your business so strange! The things in the car are so heavy. What kind of gold and iron weapons are hidden there? And from the driver to you, everyone has a murderous aura around them. Are they going to find Zhuoyu Villa?
Trouble? Please tell me the origin clearly, otherwise my aunt will settle this matter here for my brother. None of you can even think of going up the mountain!"
Thanks to Madam Richelieu for the silver alliance. Oh wow, I actually have a silver alliance. I’m flattered.
There will be an update in the evening. I originally wanted to add an update in one go today, but it’s really stuck and I can’t edit it out. I’ll edit it for a few more days and add one update a day. Thank you!
