Chapter 7 The Four Tigers of Heifengzhai
"Young Master wants to customize weapons..." The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this, and quickly pulled out a picture album from the counter, "Young Master, please see, these are the most newest sword picture albums at the moment, and they were purchased by the shop for a lot of money from Juyan City..."
"I don't want these, I have patterns here!" Mingyue took out a piece of paper from her arms, which was the appearance of the weapon that Mingyue drew herself.
Although Mingyue used forging knives when she was at home, this kind of knife was extremely thick and not convenient to carry. It would be okay to practice qigong in normal times, but it would be extremely inconvenient to carry it with her intimate body.
Therefore, Mingyue specially drew this hijab according to the memory of her previous life. The hijab is a short weapon, with a blade length of one foot and two inches, and the front is heavy and the back is light and conducive to chopping. In her previous life, it is a type of saber.
The drawing of the opening knives drawn by Mingyue is the most perfect version that has been finalized after improvement. Both the appearance and the flow lines give people a bright feeling.
When the shopkeeper saw this knife, his eyes burst out with splendor. He raised his head and looked at Mingyue hesitantly, "This young master, this knife... is not an ordinary knife..."
"Why is it unusual?" Mingyue smiled slightly. Mingyue knew that in the eyes of experts, the quality of weapons can be seen at a glance. After all, it was the pinnacle of cold weapons in the previous life, and the appearance alone was almost perfect.
"This knife... is not for fun, this is a knife that can see blood!"
"I... I'm not a play!" Mingyue's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were cold and staring at the shopkeeper with a faint momentum.
"So... don't use any defective products to scare me. I want to use the best materials to create this knife, and after the knife is completed, it will be sent to Mingfu. If it is not satisfied with me, you know the consequences."
When the Mingfu, a golden signboard was reported, the shopkeeper's face suddenly became serious. He nodded solemnly, and he didn't even report the price. The Ming family in Xiantaifu is not a lack of money. After making a knife, he is not afraid that they can't afford it.
"Gulululu--Gululu--" Just as the request was agreed, the sound of wheels rolling in the distance came.
Wu Street is located in the alley and is originally small. So normally no one would drive a carriage here. But when Mingyue turned around, she saw a carriage.
The pink carriage is embroidered with exquisite patterns, and there are two rows of Yinghui hanging down on the curtains. Obviously, this should be a carriage for the female family of a wealthy family. Why did a wealthy family of a wealthy family come to Wujie?
Others all cast curious eyes, but turned around and forgot them behind their heads. But Mingyue's eyes kept staring at the carriage. This carriage belongs to the Lin family.
The Lin family is one of the four major families of Xiantai Prefecture and has the closest relationship with the Ming family. Lin Yuantu of the Lin family and Mingyue's father Mingxiu were friends at the eighth birthday, and Mingyue also had a close relationship with Lin Xiang, the eldest son of the Lin family.
Therefore, the appearance of the carriage of the Lin family’s female family members immediately aroused Mingyue’s suspicion.
Perhaps seeing Mingyue's eyes uneasy, the groom who was driving the car glared at Mingyue fiercely, which made Mingyue's brows frown tightly.
Among the servants of the Lin family, there are those who don’t know him. In the past, I went to Lin’s mansion like entering his own house. There was no need to report it. After traveling through time three years ago, Mingyue walked less.
Moreover, the Lin family is a family that looks very good. Whether it is a long-term worker hired or a maid or servant, the first thing is to look good. If you don’t say it’s good-looking, you must not be vicious.
Even if you are an escort, you cannot show your fierce look on your face. The groom who is driving the car not only has a sharp-mouthed cheek, but also has a long scar on his face, which almost carved the words "I am a bad person" on his face.
The carriage was a little bumpy and slowly walked past Mingyue. After getting closer, Mingyue saw a suspicious place. There was a weapon sitting under the butt of the groom who was driving the carriage, and it was a yamen runner's sword in the government office.
No one dares to imitate the standard swords of the government. Even if there are relatives of the Lin family who work in the yamen, they will not use the swords of the government for the guards.
The carriage slowly walked past, stepped on the bumpy wheels and slowly walked into the alley and turned deeper into the alley. In the breath, I smelled a familiar smell. It was the fragrance of rouge in tears of lovesickness. Now, I am afraid the entire Xiantai Mansion will no longer be there.
"Shopkeeper, do you have a good knife here? Lend me to use it!"
"Young Master Yue takes it casually, everything here is cut." When Mingyue said that the Ming Mansion, the shopkeeper also knew Mingyue's identity. He was already well-known in the famous Xiantai Mansion.
Although I don’t understand what Mr. Yue wants to do with a knife, I’m not doing bad things anyway. The four young masters of the Xiantai Mansion have not heard of any bastard who bullies men and women and does everything they want...
Holding up a handy knife, Mingyue slowly followed the carriage. In the narrow alley, the carriage could not move fast. Therefore, Mingyue was not worried that her legs would not be able to keep up.
The carriages are turning around and the more they go, they are getting more and more erratic. Because the Xiantai Mansion itself is not big, but it is densely populated, the bigger the residential area is building, and the bigger the hutongs are becoming. People who are unfamiliar may not be able to get out of the first time they walk in.
The more the carriage goes, the more certain Mingyue is, the problem is. With the relationship between the Ming family and the Lin family, Mingyue cannot sit idly by.
"It's here...Miss Lin...You can get down..." A rough voice sounded, and Mingyue's footsteps stopped and hid around the corner of the alley and eavesdropped.
"Several... heroes... have you... already arrived... safe..." A weak girl rang out, whimpering with a trembling whimper.
"That's more than Miss Lin. Without Miss Lin's cover, we cannot escape the pursuit of the yamen..."
"Then... can I... can I leave..."
"Hey, how come that happens? Miss Lin has helped us so much, so how can we not thank you?"
"No...no need..." The woman's voice became even more nervous.
"I want it..." Another sharp voice suddenly sounded obscenely, "In order to thank Miss Lin for her help, we will let Miss Lin be happy. Miss Lin rest assured. Our five brothers have been in prison for three years. Keeping the custody can satisfy the lady..."
"You...what are you going to do..." The woman seemed to realize her situation, and her voice became even more frightened and screamed with a harsh scream.
"Oh? Calling? Okay, I like to hear the beauty screaming the most... the louder I call, the more I like it..." Another strange voice rang out.
Mingyue sighed secretly and walked out of the alley slowly with a knife. If nothing unexpected happens, this Miss Lin should be the famous Lin Sisi of the Lin family.
If Lin Sisi is famous, it is not because of her amazing talent and beauty. Although Lin Sisi's appearance is indeed beautiful, what is more famous than her appearance is her Lin Daiyu-like system.
From Mingyue's memory, I have always heard that Lin Sisi was sick, and every time she was seriously ill, she was not as good as preparing for her funeral. Just half a month ago, the Lin family offered a reward of precious herbs throughout the city to treat Lin Sisi.
Thinking of his relationship with the Lin family, Mingye also took a ginseng from the space, which made Mingyue feel distressed for most of the day.
"Who!" Mingyue's appearance instantly aroused the vigilance of several escapees from prison. He shouted loudly and turned around and stared at Mingyue. When he saw Mingyue's appearance as a weak scholar, his vigilant heart immediately let go.
"Oh, it turns out that he is a little white-faced... Lao Ba, I'll leave it to you, be more sensible!" A burly man said casually, turned his head, and approached Lin Sisi with a lewd smile on his face.
"Hey, third brother, wait for me. I haven't had any food for three years. Leave me a bite..." Lao Ba, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheek, said hurriedly, holding a knife, rushed towards Mingyue quickly like a monkey.
"It depends on whether you are fast or slower, I'm afraid you can only eat while it's hot..." The burly man said without looking back, stretching out his hand to hug the delicate Lin Sisi.
"Young Master...Young Master save me-"
Mingyue frowned slightly, and a trace of doubt flowed through her eyes. Even though she rarely walked towards the Lin Mansion over the years, Lin Sisi would not even be able to recognize herself.
At the moment when Mingyue was confused, Lao Ba had already come to his front. The alley was small and there was no room for rushing around. However, this guy with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek jumped onto the wall like an ape, and could move freely on the straight wall.
In the blink of an eye, he jumped to Mingyue's head. Suddenly, Lao Ba turned around and rushed towards Mingyue fiercely from behind. Ming's long sword slashed hard at Mingyue's neck.
"Swish-" A strong wind blew up, a head was thrown high, and blood soared into the sky like a high-pressure water pump. The mottled walls were splashed by a pool of bright red.
Lao Ba's head rolled to the corner of the wall, his wide eyes still showed his unwillingness and disbelief before his death.
He actually... died so easily. He didn't even see clearly how Mingyue made a knife. How could such a seemingly weak scholar?
"Hmm?" The burly man let go of Lin Sisi. Lin Sisi paniced and avoided the man squatted in the corner of the wall and grabbed the clothes on his chest tightly. At this moment, only his shirt was left.
"I wonder who sacred is you!" The burly and strong man turned his head and stared at Mingyue with sharp eyes. He didn't see Mingyue come out just now, but he saw that Lao Ba was dead.
Although Lao Ba's martial arts ranks last among the ten brothers, he would not have been killed in one move.
"Who are you? I heard you just now, you seem to be escapees from prison!" Mingyue dragged her knife and walked towards the remaining three people step by step.
The blade dragged a harsh sound on the floor. Mingyue heard that doing so could create pressure on the enemy, so she just tried it.
"Hmph, we are the Ten Tigers of Heifeng Village. I heard that my brothers have surrounded Xiantai Mansion. Humph, boy, you are good at it, which road is from?"
"Ten Tigers of Heifeng Village?" Mingyue's eyes turned slightly, "I heard that three years ago, Heifeng Village robbed the Ming family's caravan, and there were heavy casualties in one battle. Four of the Ten Tigers of Heifeng Village were captured alive by the Ming family's escort... Could it be you?"
