Chapter Thirteen: The Famous Sword Canghong
The wild wolves gathered together and crouched on the ground. They had just experienced a chase and their physical strength was very exhausted. All the wolves stuck out their tongues and gasped for air.
The woman held a short sword and stared at the wild wolf intently. A bit of fear arose in her heart. When she encountered a wolf in the wilderness, although there were many of them, there was no need to worry that they would all be killed in the wolf's belly, but a real fight would not be that big.
Fun stuff.
Just as she was leading the guards to confront the wild wolf, a scream suddenly came from behind her. She turned her head sharply and saw Old Man Qiu staggering off the horse. A bloody
The air suddenly drifted over with the wind.
When Old Man Qiu fell from his horse, the woman was shocked. He was the best swordsman in the caravan, but he was killed with a sword without any precautions. This shows how accomplished the swordsman was.
When the wild wolves smelled the smell of blood, they stood up excitedly at first, and then they all crouched on the ground again, seemingly sleeping, but in fact they were quietly observing the caravan led by the woman.
Wolves are extremely smart creatures. They smell the smell of food from the smell of blood, and they also sense that a killing is about to take place among this group of people. As long as there is killing, there will be dead people. If there are dead people, they will have something ready to eat.
Since they can get food without hunting, why don't they lie down here and wait for the killing to end?
After Old Man Qiu fell off his horse, three men with felt hats on their heads and dressed in white appeared in the woman's field of vision. All three of them held five-foot long swords in their hands. These were three long swords with a silvery sheen.
Seeing these three swords, the woman's heart suddenly tightened, and she quickly asked: "You guys, although I, Chi Xue'e, make a living as a merchant, I have never been to the land of Wuyue. Why are you waiting so hard for me?
"
These three people were the same three people who were standing on the hillside watching the wolves chasing the horses. The leader was the person named Xin Ling.
Xin Ling raised his head slightly, and his extremely sexy ingot-shaped lips faintly appeared under the felt hat, but it was impossible to tell whether he was a boy or a girl from these lips.
"Did you see that we are from the Wuyue Sword Tomb?" Xin Ling's lips moved, and after spitting out a few cold words, he said to Chi Xue'e: "Then you should know why we came this time.
As long as you obediently hand over what we want, I promise not to kill anyone else."
"Presumptuous!" Before Chi Xue'e could say anything, a guard behind her stood in front of her with a sword and shouted to Xin Ling: "My wife is doing business all over the world and is a hero among women. Officials from all over the Qin Dynasty even respect my wife.
Youjia, how dare you make such bold threats!"
As soon as the guard spoke, Chi Xue'e's expression suddenly changed. It was too late to stop her. She saw the corner of Xin Ling's mouth twitching slightly under the felt hat. At this moment, the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the wind came into her ears.
, before she had time to dodge, the guard who shouted at Xin Ling was pierced through the head by a bow and arrow flying from a distance, and the body that was shot through the head flew out sideways under the force of the bow and arrow.
.
"Chixue'e, we know that you are a good archer and we are worried that you will use hidden arrows behind your back after leaving, so we invited a friend who is good at archery to help. I advise you to be obedient, leave your things and continue on your way.
!" After the guard was shot away by an arrow, Xin Ling pulled the corner of his mouth again to reveal an imperceptible smile, and raised his slightly lowered head again, revealing half of his face as delicate and white as white jade.
"Well..." At this time, Xiang Ye, who had been unconscious, woke up. He hummed softly and struggled to raise his head, trying to break away from the reins that bound him.
At the same time as Xiang Ye hummed, Chi Xue'e's eyes glanced at him. She shook her head slightly, and a guard quickly stepped forward and cut the reins tied to Xiang Ye's body and pulled him off the horse.
A short sword was placed on Xiang Ye's neck. The guard who pulled him off his horse held his chest tightly with one arm, and held a short sword on his neck with the other hand. He looked nervously at the station.
Three men in white not far away.
"This man is Xiang Liang's soldier. If you don't want him to die, it's best to let us pass!" Seeing the guards controlling Xiang Ye, Chi Xue'e said to Xin Ling with a cold smile.
Xin Ling pouted and said to Chi Xue'e: "Kill him! We have never met him, and whenever there is a battle in troubled times, countless soldiers will die. Although he is a subordinate of General Xiang Liang, General Xiang
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there is no shortage of this one soldier. If he exchanges his life for all of your lives and the two things we want, we obviously make a profit."
Chi Xue'e's expression changed. She turned around and looked behind her. The guards had gathered. There was not much fear on the faces of many of the guards. They just shot arrows at them from time to time.
Looking in the direction, they found that the hidden shooter was the scariest thing.
The performance of the guards made Chi Xue'e feel helpless. There were at least fifty heavily armed guards in the team of hundreds of people, but no one could see that the three men nearby posed a far greater threat to them.
The shooters and guards in the distance did not see the terror of the three people in front of them, but Chi Xue'e could see them very clearly.
Not only did she know where these three people came from, but she also knew why they came. As for what the people who were hiding and secretly firing cold arrows wanted, she could figure it out without much thinking.
She regretted a little. She really shouldn't have bought these two things in the first place. She originally thought that if she brought them to Xianyang, they would be able to sell them for a good price. Unexpectedly, she met Xin Ling and others halfway.
It's hard to say whether she can stay or not. Not only did she spend a lot of money on this business, but she might also lose her life in this wilderness. No matter how you calculate it, it's a lost deal.
"I'll count to five. If you haven't chosen yet, I'll help you choose!" Seeing the troubled expression on Chi Xue'e's face, Xin Ling raised a finger and said to her: "After five times, if you haven't chosen yet,
Make a good choice, and the wolf over there will be blessed."
"Okay, this Canghong is yours." Chi Xue'e pondered for a moment, nodded helplessly when Xin Ling raised her second finger, and winked at the guard on the side, who opened the
He took out a wooden box from the box, raised the wooden box over the top, and handed it to Chi Xue'e.
Chi Xue'e took the wooden box, opened it, and took out a long strip tightly wrapped in bright red silk. The strip was five feet, two or three inches long, and looked very much like a handle.
Sword shape.
She gently opened the silk cloth tied to the long strip, and what was wrapped inside was indeed a sword.
When Xiang Ye saw this sword, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. The wooden handle and scabbard of this sword were full of mottled marks, and there was no sign of nobility at all.
Xiang Ye, who was still being held hostage by the guards, couldn't help curling his lips when he saw the sword. He suddenly looked down on the three people who blocked the caravan. The long sword he was wearing was definitely the best, but they wanted to snatch it away.
This is a broken and broken sword.
Xiang Ye's face was full of disapproval. During the conversation between Chi Xue'e, Xin Ling and others, he heard that Xin Ling and others must have a deep friendship with Xiang Liang. Judging from the current situation, as long as he wears this
Xin Ling and others would definitely not hurt the rebels' armor, but he was a little worried about Chi Xue'e who was riding on horseback not far away. Generally speaking, when the bad guys were robbing, if the victim's identity was known,
, often made the choice to kill and silence, and he was not optimistic about Chi Xue'e's outcome after handing over her things.
When Xin Ling and others saw this sword, there was a strange look in their eyes. It was the look of greed, like a drunkard seeing wine, a pervert seeing a beauty, and a gambler seeing dice.
Chi Xue'e reluctantly stroked the scabbard, and after a while she threw the sword to Xin Ling and asked, "Can we go?"
Xin Ling took the sword. He did not answer Chi Xue'e's words, but gently stroked the scabbard with both hands, as if a husband who loved his wife was gently stroking his wife's smooth jade body. He waited until he had stroked the entire long sword.
, he held the hilt of the sword in his hand and pulled out the sword fiercely.
When the long sword was unsheathed, even Xiang Ye, who knew little about swords, couldn't help but feel a chill coming to his face. Under the sunlight, the long sword reflected a bright light. Just now, Xiang Ye felt that Xin Ling and others
The long sword in his hand was very dazzling. When Xin Ling pulled out the sword, he truly realized what dazzling was.
"Oh no, I've never seen such a bright ancient sword in the museum!" Xiang Ye ignored the dagger hanging on his neck, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and secretly looked at the blue sword in Xin Ling's hand.
Hong, when the sword was unsheathed, he began to envy Xin Ling for being able to get such a good sword.
"Can we go?" Seeing Xin Ling's face full of intoxication, Chi Xue'e reluctantly glanced at the rainbow in his hand and asked again.
Hearing Chi Xue'e's question, Xin Ling put Cang Hong back into the scabbard, shook his head and said, "There is one more thing. Give it to me and I will naturally let you go!"
Chi Xue'e narrowed her eyes, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes. She wanted to get angry and order her guards to fight to the death with Xin Ling and others. But in the end she gave up this childish idea.
If there were more guards, there might be a way to survive, but with the current strength, it would be even harder to get an advantage from the people of Wu Yue Sword Tomb than to reach the sky.
Ever since she married into her husband's family, her husband has always been very cowardly. She has traveled around with her father-in-law over the years, doing buying and selling business in various places. A woman doing business will naturally endure a lot more hardships than a man. Greedy officials, lustful merchants, etc.
