Chapter 120 The Sword is Unsheathed
Chapter 120 The Sword is Unsheathed
Everyone was slightly surprised. Although they could not recognize it, they had heard of the name of the Heavenly Sword. This was the sword of the famous general, the old Duke Dingguo.
Bai Chuxiao's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked slowly, "What about this one?" She had a guess in her mind, but she was not sure. If it was really that person's sword, then everything would be intriguing...
Murong Cheng suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Father, this is Wushuang, right?"
Murong Yuan nodded, with a flash of sadness in his eyes. Murong Che and the others were confused again. Wushuang? Isn't this the former queen's? Why are these famous swords in the hands of grandfather? Although the Murong family is very close to the old Duke Dingguo's family, when the Qin family was in trouble, the Murong family was already in Dingzhou. How did these two swords get into the hands of grandfather?
Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Murong Yuan chuckled, "In fact, there are three real unparalleled swords. When Lao Wan and I followed the old Duke Dingguo to fight, the old Duke Dingguo specially ordered people to make them for us brothers. Later, the late queen also joined the military camp, and the old Duke Dingguo made a similar sword for her, but the style was slightly changed to make it more suitable for women."
Bai Chuxiao and the others understood. They were not unfamiliar with Grandfather's swords. No wonder they felt familiar when they saw them. However, Grandfather only explained the origin of the swords and did not seem to explain why the two swords appeared here...
Chu Tianze looked puzzled. A somewhat bold idea slowly arose in his mind, but he quickly suppressed it. After thinking for a moment, he asked the question that everyone was wondering, "Why are these two swords in the hands of General Murong?"
Murong Yuan smiled faintly, "I just collected some relics of my old friends."
Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao both looked a little heavy. It might not be easy to collect the relics from that time...
Murong Yuan said nonchalantly, "I just don't want my famous sword to be forgotten, but since it involves many people, it is not appropriate to give it to you in public on the day of your wedding. You can just accept it quietly today."
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything more, Chu Tianze nodded helplessly. No matter what, Wentian was one of the best swords in the world. "Thank you, General Murong."
Bai Chuxiao also chuckled and said, "Thank you, Grandfather." No matter how many secrets Grandfather had hidden, he would never harm her. She already had the dagger Zhaoying, and now she just lacked a good sword. This Wushuang was great, but she couldn't use it easily...
Murong Cheng frowned slightly. It was nothing to collect the relics of an old friend, but why did his father hide it from his two biological sons, him and his elder brother? He was as suspicious as the King of Yan, but it was not easy to ask in public, so he could only speak slowly, "Father, you and Che'er Shuo'er have worked hard on the way back. Why don't you take a rest first? There will be plenty of time to get together later."
The second aunt also smiled and said, "Yes, father, Che'er and Shuo'er, your rooms are already ready."
Murong Che and Murong Shuo hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Second Uncle and Second Aunt."
Murong Yuan did not refuse, but nodded with a smile. It was indeed not appropriate to say too much today.
After Chu Tianze and Bai Chuxiao stepped out of Murong's house, they looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Today's events did reveal something strange, but now that the wedding date is approaching, both of them are busy and it is not the time to think about these things.
Chu Tianze didn't stay in the capital often in previous years. The housekeeper and other maids stayed in the mansion in Yongzhou. There were not many maids in the Yanwang Mansion in the capital. Most of them were palace soldiers and some rough people. It was naturally difficult to arrange such a delicate matter as a wedding.
Bai Chuxiao was not much better off. The Bai family didn't even have a mistress now. The old lady still hated her because of her grandson's affairs. She was too old to take care of things for her. Bai Chuxiao had to do everything by herself. She couldn't rely on the two concubines. However, the maids in Liuliyuan were all capable. Everything went well and there was no trouble.
In the Liuli Courtyard, Wen Niang stood beside Bai Chuxiao holding the embroidered red wedding dress and said with a smile, "Princess, please try it."
The wedding dress was complicated to put on, so Bai Chuxiao just opened her arms and let the maids fiddle with it. After a while, Bai Chuxiao stood in front of a large bronze mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Wen Niang's craftsmanship was indeed excellent.
Lanxiang smiled and said, "She hasn't done her makeup or done her hair yet. The princess will be even more beautiful on her wedding day."
Qingzhu said with a smile, "Isn't it? The princess is so beautiful, the King of Yan will definitely be unable to take his eyes off her."
Bai Chuxiao tapped their foreheads and said, "You two are good at talking!"
Seeing this, Wen Niang also asked with a smile, "Princess, is there anything that needs to be altered about the wedding dress?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled and shook her head, "No need, Wen Niang, you have done a great job. Thank you for your hard work these days, Lanxiang!"
Then Lanxiang presented a purse.
Wen Niang waved her hands quickly, "Princess, you can't do this."
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Just accept it, Wen Niang. This princess has always been clear about rewards and punishments, and never mistreats those who work hard."
Lanxiang smiled and handed the purse forward.
This purse was extremely heavy, and one could tell without even looking at it that the amount was not small. Princess Changning was indeed generous. Wen Niang did not refuse and said happily, "Thank you, Princess!"
Chu Tianze was also trying on wedding clothes in Prince Yan's Mansion. Although he didn't care much about wearing them, he couldn't embarrass Xiaoxiao. Although Xiaoxiao didn't like to dress up and seemed to not care about her appearance, he always felt that Xiaoxiao still liked good-looking people... Of course, it might be his illusion.
Yu Fengyang couldn't help but laugh, "The soil and water in the capital city are really excellent. Your Majesty, a man of seven feet tall, also cares about his appearance."
Chu Tianze glanced at him and said, "What do you know, a lonely man like you!"
After trying on several sets of clothes, Chu Tianze actually felt more tired than fighting a war, and hurriedly waved his hand.
Mo Yan looked at the remaining clothes behind him and scratched his head. Is the prince sick? He felt tired just putting on clothes.
Yu Fengyang had a wicked smile on his face, "Tianze, your health is not good... I know a miracle doctor, how about I go and get you some medicine?"
Chu Tianze gritted his teeth, "Yu...Feng...Yang..."
Yu Fengyang looked calm and said fearlessly, "It's my fault too. I only discovered your problem after such a long time. You don't have to feel embarrassed. I understand. But you should treat the disease as soon as possible. As a friend, I can't bear to see you being looked down upon by the princess in the future..."
Mo Yan and Mo Wen broke out in sweat when they heard this. This was about a man's dignity. Mr. Yu dared to say this to the prince. He was truly a brave man. However, they couldn't help but have some doubts. The prince had indeed not been interested in women in the past few decades. Could it be that he really wasn't capable of this?
Chu Tianze smiled and said slowly, "Are you done?"
Yu Fengyang waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Tianze, I am very pleased that you can listen to this calmly."
Chu Tianze smiled and nodded, "Well... but you will know whether the king is sick or not soon."
Then, Yu Fengyang's screams were heard from the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
After a moment, Yu Fengyang, who was lying on the ground with a bruised face, said angrily, "Chu Tianze, you are so angry that you want to kill people to silence them!"
Chu Tianze raised his eyebrows, "Okay, okay, you are right!"
Then there was another wailing sound...
