As the sword-making conference approaches, the bustle of Spring City becomes more and more intense day by day. The legend of the Sword Forging Conference changes from time to time. After staying in Jichun City for a long time, people with soft ears are most likely to fall into cognitive confusion. One moment, they thought there was a fairy cave in Jiugao Mountain where everyone could go to seek immortality. The next moment, they heard that the rebel army was coming. , and Chuncheng is about to die.
On this day, another secret rumor spread in the city, and the city gradually became commotion. Some martial arts masters were originally watching the fun, but they were also involved unknowingly.
Among them, people continued to enter the Shura field of Jichun City, and some people left 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 area further north.
These large carts all have green cloth hoods, and are only pulled by 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 see that the ruts on these vehicles are extremely deep, the bodies are obviously heavy, and the goods pulled on the vehicles are by no means ordinary. If it were in other more chaotic states and counties, there might be strongmen trying to take action. Fortunately, Jiugao Mountain has always been clean and can accommodate all kinds of carriages and horses.
The vehicle traveled for half a day and gradually entered the mountains. The road conditions were worse than every mile. The dirt road was narrow and winding, and two vehicles were not allowed to go parallel. Fortunately, the road surface was fairly smooth, and seemed to be a newly paved gravel road that could pass for carriages and horses. The drivers were all good drivers, so the journey went smoothly.
After walking for a while, the mountains on both sides became higher and higher, the jungle became denser, and we had entered the deep mountains and old forests. There are lush wild grasses beside the dirt road, and wild animals appear frequently. Sometimes a roe deer emerges, and sometimes a pheasant flies out.
The car at the front is the leader 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 also 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 landed on the mule's head. The mule's sight was blocked and he shook his head wildly. He was about to kick off. The young man flicked his wrist and used the riding whip like an arm. He rolled it gently, wrapped the bird's whole body and pulled him closer. He caught it in his hand. The whole process was clean. It was so neat that not only did it not hurt the mule, it also didn't break off any of the bird's feathers in the whip.
He relaxed his riding whip and stretched out his fingers to hold the bird. He saw that it was a long-tailed pheasant that is common in the mountains. He was very panicked at this time. 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.
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?"
With his loud shout, the entire convoy stopped together. No one gave an order, but all the animals were reined in at the same time, without any chaos and with well-trained handling.
"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. Her handsome appearance concealed a heroic spirit. She was dressed in a red and white outfit. 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 gathered 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 smiled: "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. 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 looks, 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 more beautiful. . Opposite the two of them, the young girl looked weak.
The girl who stopped the car saluted and said, "I've seen this madam, so what? I'm going to Zhuoyu Villa. I heard that I'm going to 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 on the same road, 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 waiting in front of the car.
The young man looked indifferent, bowed to his wife, and gave way to the car. The tall girl felt that he looked familiar inexplicably. 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 have very different temperaments, one is cold and the other is warm. But aside from these appearances, she sensitively discovered that the two people have very similar things in their bones. 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? He could only say politely: "Young Master is truly 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 large cars. There were seven large cars here, and each handlebar was an adult. How old was this beautiful woman? Then he reacted and said: "Is it the adopted son of Gan Zhi?"
The beautiful woman nodded with a smile and said, "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 are also people who take over 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 to pick up the box, 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. After the collision, 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 the madam?”
The beautiful woman smiled and said, "I came to see my daughter. My daughter is studying at Zhuoyu Villa, and I couldn't let go of it as a mother, 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 lifted 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 the common procedure of making friends in the world - so far. So far, the two of them didn't have a common 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 pondered: "That's it. But it's still strange..."
The girl had veins popping out on her forehead and said, "Why is it weird?"
The beautiful woman said: "Then how do you know the three words Runcao Ferry? This ferry was specially built to pick up the guests of the Sword Making Conference. There was no such ferry before. You can't find it on the map. Ask ordinary people. I can’t tell. 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 weird?”
"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!"
