Chapter 49: Seeing the sky through the clouds

The white clouds come out of Xiuxiu and stay on the Zhuwa of the eaves. The sun is shining brightly, illuminating the spacious stone road.

This day is just an ordinary day for the people of Xingyuan Mansion, but for the Jianghu people, it is a good time to watch the excitement.I don't know who made the news, a group of people gathered on the street outside the official gate early in the morning.

These people were not noisy, they just stood on both sides of the road and waited spontaneously. Some were handsome and decent, some were ragged, with rough hands and feet, men, women, old and young, tall, short, fat and thin, and their identities were mixed.In addition, the National People's Congress in Jianghu is informal, behaves uniquely, forms groups of threes and twos, or sits or stands, and talks loudly, which attracts the attention of passers-by.It was hard to tell whether they were watching the excitement or creating excitement.

Seeing that there were more and more people, the gatekeeper finally couldn't hold back, grabbed one of the kind-faced young people, and asked, "What are your plans for gathering here?"

The young man doubted: "Plan? What plans can I have, of course it is to see the true face of Kunwu's sword."

Yacha asked puzzledly, "Kunwu Sword?"

Soon a pair of middle-aged men and women came around, and the woman among them said heartily: "I heard that the young master of the Jiang family personally escorted Kun Wujian out of the city today, and we drove thirty miles overnight just to catch a glimpse. Grandpa, you can't be unfulfilled, right?"

Yacha scratched his head and said, "Well... Your Excellency didn't say that you won't let me see it, but it's just a sword, so it's worth the trouble?"

The woman nodded again and again: "Of course it is worth it. It is a famous sword that is unparalleled in the world. Haven't you heard its story? It is forged with fine steel that has been tempered for hundreds of years. It used to be the personal saber of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. , it drank the hot blood of thousands of barbarians, it..."

Before the woman finished speaking, the man walking with her slapped her heavily on the shoulder, raised his finger and said, "Look, it's coming!"

Including the yamen servants, the group of people silently silently turned their gazes to the person coming at the end of the road.

The visitor was well-dressed and personable. He was Jiang Jingtian, the young master of the Jiang family.

Behind him, there really was a long and narrow sword case hanging.

Of course, a famous sword must be matched with a hero.Jiang Jingtian's appearance and figure could indeed bear the word "hero". The shiny red lacquer on the surface of the sword case made his originally handsome face even more radiant.

Beside him was a catcher. Although she was wearing a dark robe and plain clothes, she could still be seen as a young woman. Very graceful, the most eye-catching is the hair on the top of her head, hanging from the edge of the black hat and draped behind her shoulders, with a beautiful luster and a unique charm.

This high-spirited woman is Ming Yuechen.

Behind the two of them were accompanied by four servants, all carefully selected sword guards from the Jiang Mansion, all of them were strong and capable, with meticulous expressions.

The eyes of the crowd were all focused on this team, and few people noticed that there was a tail at the end of the team.The tail walked in a daze, his face was pale, and his eyes were dull.If anyone recognizes her appearance, they will be shocked—what kind of experience can make such a beautiful woman come down to this point.

Only Ming Yuechen slowed down, retreated to her side, and said with concern: "Sister, today is an important day, why are you so listless and reluctant?"

Ming Yuezhu moved her lips, and responded in a low voice. Ming Yuechen smiled lightly, leaned into her ear, and said softly, "Sister, don't be afraid. With me here, they won't hurt you."

This is true, her remaining crimes have not been cleared, and she should have been treated as a prisoner. If Ming Yuechen hadn't come forward to guarantee her, she might not even be able to keep her freedom, let alone follow the tail with dignity.

Ming Yuezhu raised her eyes, moved her lips, and there was a little gratitude in her lifeless eyes.Ming Yuechen was touching her forehead, seeing it clearly, the smile in his eyes deepened.

Jiang Jingtian had already stopped in front of the gate of the official mansion, and his eyes swept around unhurriedly, sweeping past the uninvited guests on both sides of the road.These people from the rivers and lakes also looked at him one after another, either with longing or awe in their eyes, which made him feel elated.This time guarding the sword is going to Chang'an, the task is heavy, if it goes well, he will be able to sweep away the haze of the theft of the Jiang family, offset the merits, and earn fame in the court.At that time, Mrs. Jiang will definitely appreciate his performance.

The cobblestone road in the sun was shining brightly, and his eyes also lit up. He waved his hands and said politely: "Did all friends come here specially to see Jiang off?"

Just now the cheerful woman stepped forward and said: "That's natural. The Jiang family was plotted against by traitors. We couldn't come to help. We are deeply ashamed. Now that Young Master Jiang still looks good, we can rest assured."

What was said in this scene was really too false, Jiang Jingtian spit secretly in his heart, still with a smile on his face, he said humbly: "Thanks to everyone's concern, my Jiang family has finally survived this disaster, and I will cherish my family in the future. Watch out for house thieves."

The man was also full of smiles, and continued: "Master Jiang's arrangement is naturally appropriate, but we have a small matter to ask for this time."

Jiang Jingtian said: "But it's okay to say."

The woman waved her hand and said: "The Kunwu sword behind the young master, please take a look."

Jiang Jingtian nodded and said, "Of course."

The woman was startled instead, she didn't expect the other party to agree so smoothly.She watched Jiang Jingtian's every move, watched him take off the sword box, open the box cover, and pull out the sword lying in the box.

The sword edge comes out of the box, and the silver steel blade is bathed in sunlight, just like the first frost and snow, clear and upright.There is no complicated engraving on the hilt, only a piece of clear white jade is inlaid, which is seamlessly integrated with the sword.

This sword is both light and sharp, and Jiang Jingtian is holding it firmly in his hand, but it seems to be gathering strength, and it will roar like a tiger's roar and a dragon's roar at any time.

This is the famous Kunwu Sword.

The woman was convinced, and she cupped her hands and said: "The demeanor of white rainbow-cut jade and purple qi dry star really lives up to its reputation. Once I see it, I will have no regrets on this trip."

Jiang Jingtian nodded and said: "This sword is the wealth of my martial arts in the Central Plains, and it must not be stolen by foreigners. That's why I decided to send it to the capital Chang'an, and hand it over to the general of the dynasty for safekeeping. Try to get it back." After speaking, he turned to Ming Yuechen and gestured with his eyes.

The latter responded immediately: "Yes, I will bring the prisoner who stole the sword here."

She walked up to the gatekeeper and ordered a few words, the man immediately turned to the backyard, and after a while, he came back alone.

He came back too soon, not only didn't mention the prisoner, but he looked flustered, and whispered a few words in Ming Yuechen's ear, Ming Yuechen's expression changed suddenly.

Jiang Jingtian sensed that something was wrong, and immediately asked, "What happened?"

Ming Yuechen said solemnly: "The prisoner escaped."

Jiang Jingtian was really shocked, Zhao Shitu's face suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the fear in his heart was even worse, even the palm of the hand holding the sword broke out in a layer of cold sweat.

It was with great difficulty that he calmed down the chaos in the Jiang Mansion, and for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, his heart was at peace, and he never wanted to fall back into the mud again.

He looked sideways slightly, and he calmed down a bit when he saw that the sword guard behind him was seriously waiting for orders, and the servants in the government house kept pouring out of the courtyard.No matter what, the Kunwu Sword is in his hands, so it won't be taken away in broad daylight.

He turned to Ming Yuechen and said solemnly: "It's important to protect the sword, let's go first."

Ming Yuechen nodded and said: "I think so too. The prisoner won't be able to escape far if he wants to. I will send more people later and hunt him down throughout the city. I don't believe he won't be found."

Jiang Jingtian also nodded in response, slowly letting go of his hanging heart.At this time, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.

"I don't think there is any trouble."

He turned his head suddenly, saw the face of the person coming, and couldn't help but took a step back, unable to hide his surprise.

Because the visitor should have appeared at the bottom of the prison, and should have been his prisoner.

Not only is Zhao Shitu no longer a prisoner, but he is still wearing a clean and tidy white shirt, with a golden hair crown on his head, and holding a folding fan in his hand, shaking it unhurriedly.

While shaking his fan, he said, "Young Master Jiang, don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble today, but to return things to their original owners."
