Jiang Ling'e looked at the dark dagger in front of her and blinked her big eyes. She gently took the dagger and her hands sank slightly when she took it.
"Um?"
She was shocked. The weight of this dagger was much heavier than she had imagined. Generally speaking, except for some special-quality weapons, good weapons were generally much heavier than ordinary weapons.
Jiang Ling'e flipped her wrist and simply danced a sword flower. As a disciple of the Qingyun Sect, even if she is only an outer disciple, her vision is much better than those of the so-called swordsmiths in the marketplace at the foot of the mountain.
"The blade and spine of the sword are completely natural. It can be seen that it is the handiwork of a famous master!"
As she said that, she summoned up a bit of inner energy and poured it into the pitch-black blade. In an instant, dots of stars lit up from the blade. Jiang Ling'e's mouth immediately opened slightly and her eyes widened.
, looks very cute.
"The inner energy is actually a quasi-temple weapon that can breed sword spirits? No, is your inner energy also a fire attribute?" The girl frowned, staring at the red starlight that lit up the sword blade, and then
He glanced at Yi Xifeng.
In fact, she didn't know that this Night Cold Star was a combination of hematite and ice iron stone, two raw materials with mutually contradictory properties, plus zeolite to reconcile them, and the extremely special piece of meteorite "Meteorite Eighty-Three"
, thus allowing Ye Jian Hanxing to achieve the dual attributes of yin and yang.
Not only Ling'e's fire attribute, but also Yi Xifeng's yang attribute and Li Xintian's earth attribute can infuse inner energy into the blade and gain a considerable increase at the same time!
This is nothing more than this, so Yi Xifeng will naturally not tell the other party. In fact, if the next mission is not really related to the Qingyun Sect, the fair boy will not give his main weapon to the other party for investigation so easily.
"The Qingyun Sect is indeed well-deserved. It is fate that we meet Miss Jiang today. If there is a chance in the future, we will go to the Qingyun Sect to visit you." Yi Xifeng said while cupping his hands.
Jiang Ling'e was originally exploring the dark dagger with a thoughtful look on her face. Suddenly she heard what the other party said and pointed at herself with some surprise: "What? Looking for me? Uh... Okay, okay! You are welcome to come and play with me...
…When will you come?”
She grew up in the Qingyun Sect. Apart from her senior brothers and sisters, she had no friends. The two people in front of her were the first pair of "friends under the mountain" she had made since she was so old, so she asked with great anticipation.
.
Li Xintian raised his hand and lightly covered his red lips with the back of his hand. He obviously found the other party very interesting, so he continued: "Maybe, let's try this white fish first. As for when to go to Qingyun School to play with you, after eating the fish
Decide again!"
It was almost noon, so they made a fire on the shore of Luojian Lake, and then borrowed a big pot from the old man who was holding the boat. Yi Xifeng used his incredible inner strength to control the fire.
The scales of six white fish were removed.
I think back when the seven of them met for the first time by the Chunfeng River, only the fair-skinned young man in the power realm could use his sword energy to scrape off all his scales. At the same time, with this skill, he won the recognition of the funny young man Qi Chengcheng. At this time
More than a year has passed, and his realm has advanced by leaps and bounds, and his strength is not what it was back then. Naturally, he can handle these six white fish more easily than he did back then.
I packed up the six fish, got some clean water, and steamed them in the pot. After the water boiled, within a few minutes, bursts of delicious fish fragrance came out.
Speaking of which, this white fish is also different. Compared with other fishes such as ordinary herring, grass carp, or black fish, this white fish has a very light fishy smell. After being steamed, it has a faint rice fragrance, and it is sweet and not greasy in the mouth.
In addition, except for the fish lips and gills, which are red, the other parts are white and the meat is tender and juicy. Local people often call it "fish rice".
Li Xintian naturally likes this kind of white fish very much, and although Jiang Ling'e beside her often eats this kind of white fish, looking at her attitude, she still doesn't get tired of eating it!
…………Dividing line…………
Yinren Town, the Zhong family mansion.
In the past two days, people in the Zhong Mansion were in panic. On the one hand, it was just two days ago that Zhao Yuntian died suddenly, and a news spread throughout Yinren. Yinren Town was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the reason why Zhao Yuntian died was because
It was the master of Luo Yunzong who took action to kill him.
As one of the six major families of Yinren, it is understandable that the Zhong family fell into anxiety and panic because of the unfavorable situation in Yinren. Even if the head of the family, Zhong Qianhe, announced that the Zhong family would coexist with Yinren Town,
It didn't cause much turmoil in the Zhong family.
After all, even if the Zhong family was careful and planned to avoid the war, they would only dare to do it quietly and behind the scenes. The nature of betrayal and betrayal of compatriots was too bad, so no one would easily bring it to the table.
However, at this critical moment, Zhong Qianhe, the head of the Zhong family, suddenly fell ill.
To elaborate, this is not the first time he has fallen ill. After all, the old man is quite old, and his martial arts level is average, and he only maintains the appearance of being in a strong position. He is nearly seventy years old, due to excessive pressure recently,
It is reasonable to fall ill suddenly.
But at this critical period, the Zhong family lacked the most important backbone, making the entire Zhong family panic!
A maid from the Bell Palace wearing a silk gown was holding a tray in her hand. A fine white porcelain bowl was placed on the tray. Looking at her hurried steps, it was obvious that she was afraid that the soup in the porcelain bowl would get cold.
Already.
The figure of the maid walked from the pharmacy where the medicine was prepared, through three or four small courtyards, and was sent into a very wide courtyard. At this time, red, white, and pink hydrangeas were planted in the pavilion, which was very beautiful.
You know, on this cloudless day in Luoye City, rows of these brightly colored "hydrangeas" were planted along the streets throughout the city, and this wide courtyard was full of them. Come to think of it,
The quantity is also amazing.
This shows that the owner of this courtyard has a very high status in the Zhong Mansion, which of course also reflects the amazing financial resources of the Zhong Mansion.
The maid walked into the main hall carrying the tray, but was blocked by Zhong Qian who was waiting here.
"What do you look like in a panic!?" The thin butler of the Zhong family scolded the other party in a low voice.
When the maid saw it was Zhong Qian, she immediately shrank her neck in fear and buried her head deeply, like a frightened quail.
"Okay, leave the medicine to me. Don't go in. You look careless. The master's condition has just stabilized, so you can't be angry!" Zhong Qian took the tray from her, turned around and walked into the main hall.
The maid was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and hurried out of the hall.
"Aqian, who is that person outside?" Zhong Qianhe's weak voice came from the main hall.
The chief butler of the Zhong family bowed and walked in, climbed onto the bed in the main hall in a few steps, picked up the medicine bowl on the tray, approached the head of the house, and whispered: "The head of the house is a little maid.
It’s okay, it’s okay, just drink the medicine first!”
Zhong Qianhe sat up with difficulty holding on to the edge of the bed, drank two sips of the medicine in the bowl, shook his head and put it down, smiling bitterly: "This medicine is too bitter, I can't drink it. And my own body knows that this is not a disease."
, but life!”
Zhong Qian immediately knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Master, you are the pillar of the Zhong family, you can't talk nonsense!"
The old man looked at the thin old housekeeper in front of him and murmured: "What changes have occurred in the Zhong family in the past few days?" As he spoke, his eyes remained on the other person.
Zhong Qian lowered his head and said: "After the head of the family fell ill, people became panic-stricken. In the past two days, there have been more than a dozen cases of children from the Zhong family's side branches escaping!"
"More than a dozen cases? Well, have they all been recovered?" Zhong Qianhe murmured.
The thin butler nodded and said: "We have recovered. Thirteen people have been recovered, but one escaped."
The old man nodded, then waved his hand to ask the other party to step back. He was obviously tired.
Zhong Qian bowed, then walked out of the main hall with the tray in his hand. He came outside, looked at the remaining two-thirds of the medicine on the tray, then picked up the medicine bowl and took a sip.
"Tsk, it's so bitter! You old man, how did you drink it?" He murmured to himself.
…
That evening, in an abandoned courtyard of the Zhong family, this place was originally Zhong Lingxi's study. Later, the eldest lady began to practice martial arts, and the teacher who forced her to learn embroidery when she was young, repaired it one by one.
Those female workers who were famous in Luoyun and the embroidery masters naturally went to Zhong Qianhe with their heads in their hands and cried. This also made him dumbfounded, so he had to pay a large sum of compensation and resign them all.
Since then, this courtyard dedicated to the "Miss Academy Girl's Red" has been abandoned. At this time, it was approaching evening. According to the custom, all the shopkeepers of the Zhong family who had been away from home for a day would come to the Zhong Mansion to pay their accounts.
.
But today is different. More than half of the hundreds of people in the Zhong Mansion are gathered here at this time.
"Everyone, we are all gathered here today because I have something to discuss with you." The person who spoke was a shopkeeper from the Zhong family, but he was not an ordinary shopkeeper, but an inspection shopkeeper with a higher status.
Some time ago, Zhou Di led a team to Chunfeng Town to complete the "Earth Level Mission". Captain Zhou chose to pretend to be the inspection shopkeeper of the Zhong family.
It's just that the person speaking at this time is the real inspection shopkeeper of the Zhong Mansion.
This man had a three-inch beard, was in his middle years, and was slightly chubby. He glanced at everyone and continued: "Yinren is involved in a battle with Luo Yun Kingdom this time, which has greatly exceeded the previous battles with Tiexin Village and Luoye City.
The scale of the battle.”
This man didn't talk much and hit the point directly. As he spoke, he observed the expressions of the people around him. Seeing that they were lost in thought, most of them also frowned. Obviously, this problem has been bothering them recently.
"Master of the family, you said that we will live and die with Yinren!" He said again, exactly what Zhong Qianhe said before.
"However, I still want to ask you a question? It is understandable that we will live and die with Yinren. After all, we live and grow here. But what I want to know is that when Yinren chose to be the enemy of Luo Yunguo, it
Have you ever thought about our survival?"
As the saying goes, words and writings should be used to kill each other, and every word should be used to kill the heart! The middle-aged man's words made everyone present stunned for a moment, and then they all started whispering.
At this point, the inspection shopkeeper restrained his emotions, glanced at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "I believe the answer is in everyone's heart, yes, we all know the answer. But I just want to ask, these Yinren
When you, the top brass, decided to become enemies of Luo Yun Kingdom, you sent us common people to various places?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the field suddenly changed, and a trace of resentment and anger could be seen emanating from these children of the Zhong family. Although it was not big, it lingered.
"We were born in Yinren and grew up in Yinren! This is understandable! I am willing to go to all lengths for Yinren and live and die together! However, I will never be a puppet of Yinren's senior officials or a bargaining chip in negotiations with Luo Yunguo.
!" the middle-aged man shouted sternly.
As soon as these words came out, many people present were already a little moved, and even their breathing was trembling.
Yes, they were born in Yinren and grew up in Yinren, but in the eyes of most people, it is not worth losing their lives for this. It is not that they have no courage, but that they feel that they have lost their lives to let others enjoy. This kind of thing is indeed
Very silly.
It's just that this kind of selfish nature cannot be exposed to the light of morality. And the middle-aged man, for the first time, separated Yinren and Yinren's senior management, that is: Yinren's senior management does not represent Yinren. Willing
He lives and dies with Yinren, but he is not willing to work for Yinren's senior officials.
As the sky gradually darkened, the figures in the courtyard gradually became unclear, but people did not disperse because of this, but gathered more and more.
…
Li Chengtao stood in a corner, looking at the impassioned people in the courtyard. His face was calm under the night. In fact, he had been here from the beginning, and he listened to the speeches of several people, including the most inflammatory one.
What the middle-aged shopkeeper said.
"What a heart-breaking statement! When did the Zhong family have such a powerful person?" He murmured to himself.
However, he did not immediately stop the other party, but wanted to see what this group of people was going to do?
Soon, torches were lit in the courtyard, and the firelight illuminated the venue again. At this time, the number of people present was more than three times that in the evening, and basically included more than 40% of the young people of the Zhong family.
At this time, there were already many Zhong family members in the crowd. They stood up and shouted: "We control our own lives, why should we be buried with others!"
Then someone also shouted: "Yes! Let's go find the head of the family and ask him to take back his life and lead us out of here to avoid the war for the time being!"
"No! What if the head of the family disagrees? Let's go directly to the door of the Presbyterian Church to protest against this kind of thing!" the young man on the side said.
…
When Li Chengtao heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his breath and laughed out loud!
In a rebellion and uprising, you don’t want to quickly seize territory and hold it, expand your armed forces, or eliminate the enemy’s strength, but you want to protest?!
Seriously: The scholar's rebellion will not happen in three years!
But even if Li Chengtao didn't want to watch this big drama, he still had to insist on watching it. He knew that the person behind it was indeed a difficult person to deal with.
Combined with the clean and neat way the opponent killed Zhao Yuntian, the captain of the patrol team can be sure that the opponent must be a ruthless and powerful opponent!
