But Qi Chi's character is obviously much gentler than he appears.
Under such intimidation, there is also some warning and prevention.
"I know." Song Ling nodded and said with crooked eyes, "So what I want is a name. I am a descendant of the Song family. Although I have been away for a hundred years, once I come back, as long as Your Majesty gives me a name, I will be able to travel unimpeded.
"
Qi Chi doesn’t know whether he believes it or not.
Anyway, after making it clear not to do anything, Song Ling untied the restraints on him, returned the ferret to him, and asked him to try to contact his master, Crow Feather, again.
Song Mo lay low in the darkness, staring at Qi Chi.
Once Qi Chi made any move that deviated from Song Ling's intention, Song Mo would immediately take action. Even though it was not powerful enough to kill Qi Chi at this time, it still did not hesitate.
Blue fireworks take off.
Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard.
The person outside the door looked similar to what Song Ling imagined.
Her black hair was tied into a bun, surrounded by gilt hair accessories, and a golden flower was placed on her forehead. She had long eyebrows on her temples, almond-shaped eyes, and her lips were dyed a light pink.
Crow Feather raised his eyes and smiled at Song Ling.
The lanterns under the eaves illuminated her smile brightly and dazzlingly.
When Crow Feather clanked into the yard, Song Ling saw that she was wearing a dark red corset dress, sleeveless, and the hem only reached her ankles.
There is a golden lotus blooming on the left shoulder, one end is connected to the lotus pattern neck ring on the neck, the other end is connected to the hollow fish pattern armband, and a strand of indigo tulle is hung on the arm.
barefoot.
She wore a pure gold bracelet on each ankle, with silver bells on both sides. The tinkling sound just now came from the bells.
"I heard that you are going to the palace?" After walking a few steps, Crow Yu stood still in the courtyard, turned to look at Song Ling who remained motionless at the door, and said, "Why are you going to the palace? With your beauty, you are not allowed to enter the palace.
But it can’t be to compete for favor.”
Knowing it was a joke, Qi Chi poked the back of Crow Yu's hand and whispered: "Master, she wants to enter the palace to practice. She said she is from the Song family."
"My apprentice hasn't caused you any trouble, has he?" Crow Feather glanced sideways at Qi Chi, covered his lips with a smile, and said, "This is his first mission, so he must be a bit rigid."
Song Ling shook her head.
The trance just now was not because she was fascinated by Crow Yu's appearance, but because Song Ling remembered...
I've seen Crowfeather myself.
A hundred years ago, Crow Yu was already the sword holder of the Liang Kingdom. However, at that time, Song Ling did not know the existence of the sword holder and only regarded her as an ordinary palace member.
"I am Song Ling." Song Ling opened her mouth and said, "If you have a good memory, you should be able to recall me, the little princess who was taken away by Canghua Immortal of Weilu Mountain."
The light in Crow Feather's eyes passed, but he still smiled and waved his hand and said: "I have a bad memory, not to mention you are a great woman. Hundreds of years have carved you into shape... making it difficult for me to tell the difference with my old bones."
Crow Feather, who never liked being called old, deliberately used old age to avoid Song Ling's relationship at this moment.
Song Ling realized this.
"Really? How can you trust me?" Song Ling asked.
As a result, Crow Feather waved his hand again and said nonchalantly: "If you want to enter the palace, I will just take you in. It's just a meeting with His Majesty, it's not a big deal."
"Master!" Qi Chi said anxiously.
"What's the fuss about?" Crow Feather turned around and knocked Qi Chi's forehead with his finger, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you doubting your master's abilities? Can something go wrong if you take her into the palace to confirm her identity?"
"No..." Qi Chi shook his head and said in a suppressed voice, "Don't you need to inform His Majesty first? It's a big deal after all. What if His Majesty doesn't agree?"
Don't get scolded if things don't get done.
The casual cultivators worked as sword-wielders in Weicheng, just to gain a reputation and the emperor's dragon energy. With the emperor's permission, even those who were not the subjects of the Liang Kingdom could be protected by the dragon energy, and by the way, they could also gain some good fortune.
Therefore, the emperor's attitude towards the sword holder largely determines the success of the sword holder's practice.
"What are you afraid of? Your master and I have been in Weicheng for more than a hundred years, but I still don't know what to do?" Crow Yu waved his arms, turned around and motioned for Song Ling to follow him, "It is the best thing for your majesty to have monks enter the city.
It’s nothing more than that.”
It’s a troubled time...
If the tide of monsters really spreads to the Liang Kingdom, it will probably be difficult for the few monks in Weicheng to cope with it.
While rushing to the palace, Crow Yu took the initiative and introduced Song Ling to the current situation in the Liang Kingdom.
There are a total of 670 casual cultivators registered in the Liang Kingdom.
Among them, Weicheng accounted for 170.
Among these one hundred and seventeen, only thirty monks are employed sword-holders.
"Weicheng is divided into four districts, east, west, north and south. There are five monks in each district to visit, and the remaining ten monks guard the palace." Crow Yu Su pointed at the ten shining figures on the palace wall.
Guangqiu said: "The ten are all monks in the transformation stage, and I... am one of them."
The light ball is not the monk's true body, but a spiritual consciousness.
Like Crow Feather, it's okay for her real body to wander around. Anyway, once her spiritual sense senses danger, she will immediately move her real body back to the palace.
"Are you worried about Nan Zhen?" Song Ling smoothed Song Mo's hair and asked bluntly.
Crow Feather was also very straightforward, nodded and said: "Liang Country is such a pure land, of course I will worry about Nanzhen. If there is a real invasion of beasts, a sword-wielding man like me will definitely be on the front line."
die……
Who is not afraid of death?
But Crow Feather's past hundred years have been too comfortable. It was Liang Guo who gave her all this, so when Liang Guo needed her, she had to stand up.
"Not many casual cultivators are willing to come here." Crow Yu tilted his head and looked at Song Ling, explaining: "To practice Taoism, most monks still have the desire to move up. Even if there are frustrated ones who are willing to stop in Liang Kingdom, they won't
Too willing to be loyal to the royal family."
In the eyes of many people, being loyal to the royal family is equivalent to being the emperor's dog.
"Fellow Taoist cares about the people of the Liang Kingdom and is benevolent and virtuous." Song Ling complimented Crow Yu.
At this time, the east is white and it is time for the palace door to open.
Crow Yu asked Song Ling and Qi Chi to stop at a distance, while he went over with his hands behind his back and talked to the soldier who opened the door with a pleasant expression.
Watching from a distance, Song Ling turned sideways and praised: "Your master is smarter than you and knows that keeping me is more useful than killing me."
Qi Chi pouted, turned to Song Ling, and said dissatisfiedly: "That's because my master has considered the future of the Liang Kingdom, so even if you are just a foundation-building monk, she feels that you cannot miss it."
As for what Song Ling said about building the foundation twice and being able to reforge the golden elixir quickly, Qi Chi didn't believe it at all. He had just been fooled and was tied up once, so he wouldn't step into the pit again!
"Anyway, I can go in now." Song Ling smiled at Crow Yu who waved, and said, "No matter what, thank you and your master."
