Chapter 5: Dumping the Golden Orchid and the Five Knots(2/3)

Hu Caiting was very curious and reached out to grab it.

However, Xuanzhi stepped aside in panic, "Be careful, this thing is not something you can play with casually."

After saying that, he carefully picked up one and said, "Here, let me show you how powerful this one is!"

Xunzhi casually pinched open a wax pill and threw the plaster ball inside backhand.

There was a hole in the middle of the plaster ball, and the wind whined and made a sound, like a roaring beast rushing to eat, with a loud and powerful sound.

The white phosphorus filled in the hole burst into flames under the high-speed friction with the air. At the first sight of the small ball, the green smoke appeared, and he quickly knocked down the two people around him.

Before Caiting and Qingyun could figure out what was going on, they heard a loud bang, thunder on the dry land, huge dust and smoke, a pungent smell, and the sound of snatching could not be heard.

The two of them were so frightened that they didn't dare to get up for a long time. It wasn't until Xunzhi got up to check that they cautiously followed behind.

I could see iron fragments embedded in the surrounding walls and tree trunks everywhere, even half an inch into the wood. If they splashed on someone, they would probably break their abdomen and pierce their heart.

"What's going on?" Qingyun asked timidly.

"Those powders prepared with saltpeter, sulfur and carbon powder will explode when exposed to open flames and the yin gas in the air. The white phosphorus in the gypsum ball just now not only produces an open flame after spontaneous combustion, but also exposes the nitrate powder to the air, thus causing

Explosion. That kind of force can shatter the plaster and splash out the broken iron inside, which is the current effect."

"Oh my god, what a terrifying power this is!" Caiting tried to pull out half of the iron nail from the tree trunk. After shaking it a few times, the nail remained stubborn and showed no signs of loosening.

The servants of Zhanshe Villa had already heard the sound and came over. Caiting hurriedly intervened, saying that the medicine pot had exploded and that the fierce woman was guarding the door and blocking everyone out.

Xunzhi and Qingyun quickly cleaned up the scene. Of course, they couldn't forget to "divide the spoils."

Qingyun said, "Would you like to leave a few pills for the eldest brother and the third brother?"

Caiting shook his head, "The eldest brother and the third brother are so martial that they don't bother to use these little tricks. Besides, we have to rush to Luo, so it's good to bring some self-defense."

Qingyun slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot about the important matter. The two brothers have become famous teachers and may have to stay here for a while. We have to catch up with Uncle Chen and find out the whole story before we come back to meet again on a certain day."

When Yuan Faseng and Liu Ying returned from sword practice, Qingyun and the other three planned to rush to Luojing as soon as possible.

Monk Yuanfa didn't ask much, "Because of my status, I can't leave for the time being. Third brother has just gained a famous teacher, so he will stay with me for a while. You can take my token tomorrow and go to Guanyi to get some fast horses. Come quickly."

Go back quickly. If you need help when you get to Luojing, you can visit Prince Anfeng's Mansion and bring my token, and someone will definitely help you make arrangements."

The five newly sworn friends naturally talked about the past endlessly, and the night was full of excitement.

Because Qingyun had to go on a journey the next day, Yuan Faseng and Liu Ying also had to get up early to practice, so everyone didn't stay as late as yesterday and went to rest early.

Only Qingyun couldn't sleep, so he was holding a wine jar in the courtyard and looking at the stars.

While sleeping, a silhouette seemed to be outlined in the moonlight, with her slender waist holding her long flowing hair, like a willow by the Guangling Lake.

Qingyun traveled far away for the first time, and his heart inevitably surged with nostalgia. The depth of homesickness was loneliness, and the end of loneliness was loneliness.

Loneliness is sometimes a kind of power, not even weaker than the power of the horrific explosion seen by Chen Jian, but the effect is more gentle and magical.

Could it be her?

Although I clearly know the answer, the alcohol has made all reality seem like an illusion, and all illusions are so real.

For an ignorant otaku who has lived in the mountains and fields for more than ten years, Caiting is the first exquisite woman he has seen, and she has long become the definition of beauty in his heart.

He raised his arms, as if he wanted to touch the halo and distinguish dreams from reality.

Snapped,

A firm slap knocked Qingyun out of his drunken state.

Only then did Qingyun realize that the direction his hand was looking in didn't seem very gentlemanly.

Hu Caiting's face was slightly angry, "Fifth brother, you must have drunk too much! Why don't you go back to the house and sleep."

Qingyun struggled to stand up while holding on to the wall, "Fourth sister, I'm sorry! It seems that I drank a little too much, I'm sorry!"

I watched Qingyun stand up several times and then fall back down, looking like mud.

Caiting laughed out loud, "Looking at how drunk you are, is this your first time playing in a bar?"

To be honest, Caiting is not impeccably beautiful. A small mole on her left cheek makes her perfect.

But no one can turn a blind eye to the special temperament she exudes. When her smile spreads, even the mole seems to be dancing.

The mirror-like lake surface may be beautiful, but it may not be breathtakingly beautiful. If a red leaf falls on it and causes ripples, the artistic conception will be even more different.

And the dimples in that smile enlivened a pool of spring water, turning it into a stream, making a gurgling sound and bringing in the fragrance of vegetation.

Under the influence of hormones stimulated by alcohol and the night, various wonderful chemical changes occurred in the consciousness, and Qingyun couldn't help but look a little crazy.

Caiting didn't feel dissatisfied. Instead, she put on a big sisterly attitude and calmly put her face up to look directly at Qingyun.

"During dinner, I felt something was wrong with you, so I came over here to have a look. Does fifth brother have something on your mind? Come on, tell me, and I will help you figure it out!"

The distance between the two people was instantly reduced to an inch, and Qingyun's cheeks suddenly flushed. Fortunately, the alcohol had already dyed his face red, and there was no abnormal color on the surface.

He calmed down for a moment, thought of his depression for the day, looked at Caiting, sighed, and said slowly,

"I was thinking about the marriage we made today.

The eldest brother was born in the royal family of the Wei Dynasty. Not only was he highly skilled in martial arts, he was also chivalrous and heroic.

My second brother and I have been dating for the longest time. He has a wide range of knowledge that is rare for his age.

The third brother's swordsmanship is unparalleled to that of Heshuo. At such a young age, he can already defeat Gannu of Snake-Zhan Villa.

Fourth sister, you are so beautiful, even though you are a woman, you have traveled all over the country alone, and your experience has made you unworthy of men.

The sworn brothers and sworn sisters are all great among men. When I am with you, I, I seem useless..."

Hucaiting's eyebrows stood up as he heard this, he snatched the wine can from Qingyun's hand and threw it aside.

"You're still a decent man, why can't you even look down on yourself?

In terms of swordsmanship, you may not be any worse than Third Brother.

You have the shortest time to learn swordsmanship, and you have never practiced any routine moves, but you have already mastered them and used them with ease.

This kind of talent can only be possessed by legendary masters and sages.

Although you have no experience in the world of martial arts, you have maintained a jade-like character because of this.

I have been wandering around the world since I was a child, and I am wary by nature, but when I first met you, I was moved by your innocent gaze, and I didn't feel uneasy at all.

Big brother and you became sworn friends from the first day we met. Although there are reasons for the favor from my predecessors, my appreciation for you is even more essential.

Mr. Huayang has read countless people. Since he commented that you have the appearance of nine dragons surrounding the pillars, you naturally have a temperament and blessings that are different from others. From now on, you may not be inferior to any of us.

When you were young and your energy was at its peak, how could you belittle yourself?"

Qingyun didn't refute, and those pearly sounds were like distilled wine dripping directly into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Good words are like wine. He felt very useful at first and felt a little elated, but he didn't know when it turned into confusion again, so that he didn't even know how he fell asleep.

But he actually knew how he woke up.

Hu Caiting was not careful when he stepped down. Even though he was separated by a thick quilt, he still felt a sharp pain in his left hip.

Qingyun squinted his sleepy eyes and looked up to see that it was already getting late. He was still leaning on the stone steps, having slept in the open all night.

At this time, his head hurt as if it was about to split. Seeing Caiting's angry expression in the morning light, the conversation the night before was like a slideshow, popping up in his mind frame by frame, although the memory was not coherent.

, but it still lingers.

Monk Yuan smiled evilly and came over and hung a token on his waist. The token did not fall off across the quilt.

Qingyun couldn't help but feel embarrassed and hurriedly turned over and rushed to the inner room.

After Qingyun finished washing, Xunzhicaiting was already ready. When the five of them said goodbye, the atmosphere was quite awkward because of the little episode just now.

Monk Yuanfa patted Qingyun's shoulder thoughtfully, "Stand up your chest like a man, and have a good trip!"

Qingyun's young face turned red from suppressing it, and he seemed to have to leave.

Hucaiting's expression remained as usual, and He Xuanzhi followed unhurriedly.

Seeing the three people taking out the Little Dragon King's General Longxiang Order, the post officer naturally did not dare to neglect it.

The story of the Dragon King's sworn friendship has long been spread, so how could this post officer not know about it?

So he personally selected three good military horses. They were tall, strong in hooves, with bright coats, bright eyes, and howling.

Even ordinary military officers rarely have the honor to drive such hussars.

Zu Xunzhi was well-informed and was speechless, "This is a war horse used for armor and riding equipment. Now Xiao Xiaoke from Jianghu really doesn't dare to come to visit him again."

The three horses headed west, and in less than half a day, they entered the border of Liang Kingdom.

Liang State is adjacent to Xuzhou. Although it is a traditional feudal state, there was no prince who was enfeoffed here at that time. Instead, it was used as a food town and was enfeoffed to the county princes with other surnames.

The princes with the foreign surname had no direct management authority over the food towns, and the actual local power fell into the hands of General Gao Yang, the general of the foreign family who was in charge.

This man is the father of a noble concubine in the palace. Which local secretary or civil servant would dare to offend this quasi-governor?

Gao Yang was a military attaché. No matter which dynasty or generation he was in, soldiers who were good at fighting were not only majestic and brave, but also a little arrogant.

The military is powerful in the local area, so you can imagine what these men do on a daily basis.

Qingyun and his entourage drove such powerful horses into the city, and everyone regarded them as important members of the military, so they were afraid to avoid him.
