Безымянный убийца - Глава 61
For a time, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and the songs of birds, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of perfume.
Those flashing swords and shadowy figures seemed like something from a past life.
The three of them idly watched the clouds drift by in the courtyard, listening to the sounds of the wind rustling through the grass and the flowers blooming and falling.
After a moment, they all said in unison, with a sense of helplessness, "...Aren't you coming out yet?"
"Hey! Not bad, not bad, you've all become much more vigilant!" The head of Plum Blossom Hall, the head of Peony Hall, the temporary leader of Sword Soft Manor, and Lin Meihua, known as the 'Number One Detective in the World' and the 'Number One Thief in the World', jumped down from the tree with a smile and greeted everyone in a carefree manner.
“It’s strange that you, a big guy like you, couldn’t see it.” Che Shui shook his head and rubbed his temples. “It’s really a wonder that the branch wasn’t broken by you, you fatso.”
"What did you say?! You..."
"What brings you here today?" Shuang Jing slapped Che Shui, knocking him off his chair, and took the opportunity to change the subject, otherwise the two of them would start arguing and it would never end: "Don't you need to oversee things at Jianrou Manor?"
"Sit down, sit down, sit down! What's the point of sitting down? I'm so annoyed!" Plum Blossom sat down angrily. "If it weren't for that catwoman, I wouldn't have to put up with this! Humph!" She said with a frown, snatched Che Shui's teacup without any politeness, and gulped it down.
Shuangjing really wanted to tell her that this was actually an indirect kiss, but before she could open her mouth, Meihua slammed the teacup down on the table. She had no choice but to open her mouth and then close it again.
"I've come to tell you something important..." the temporary head of Jianrou Manor said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, the other three couldn't help but glance at each other and then look at her.
"What?"
“Three days ago, the lord of Honghu Fortress was murdered.” Plum Blossom said calmly, “The news is temporarily blocked over there, but it should spread in a few days… Hey! I haven’t finished yet!” She looked at the three people who stood up at the same time and shouted angrily.
"Ah, let's talk about it on the way." Che Shui stood up, stretched, yawned, and rubbed his eyes. He said, "The news hasn't spread yet. If people find out, it will be difficult to get more accurate information."
"Ningdu, prepare the sword." Shuangjing turned to her subordinate with a smile and said, "Also, take the package from the third drawer of my room cabinet, and get the young master's sword."
"..." Mei Hua looked at them with a black line on her forehead, her mouth twitching unconsciously. She raised her eyebrows and said, "So you guys were prepared all along? I came all this way here with great excitement to tell you this."
Che Shui shrugged, as if it were nothing out of the ordinary: "Yeah... I don't know about them, but I've had enough of this boring life." As he spoke, he stood up, watched Ning Du help Shuang Jing take care of everything, and then pouted and said something to her, seemingly both reluctant and bored: "Doing nothing like this every day is driving me crazy!"
"Let's go. Let's go down the mountain and take a look first." Seeing that everyone was almost ready, Xuan Sheng said calmly, slung his two swords over his shoulder, took Shuang Jing's hand, and in a few leaps, they were already several feet away.
Meihua stared in disbelief and stammered, "I thought he would stop Shuangjing."
"What do you think..." Che Shui laughed heartily, "Those two have been bored to death these past few months!" After saying that, he turned around, extended his hand to Mei Hua, and said with a warm smile, "Shall we go?"
Lin Meihua was stunned and suddenly couldn't react.
"What? Let's go!" Seeing that she had no reaction, the master of Chongchonglou became a little impatient and moved his hand.
The head of Plum Blossom Hall looked up and saw the March sunlight shining on Du Cheshui. The outstretched hand seemed to hold a handful of brilliance, foreshadowing all unknown happiness.
She smiled and took his hand in return.
At that moment, my heart was filled with happiness. Even if it was a future no one could know.
A strong wind blew up, and Ningdu, who was muttering to herself as she tidied up the tea set, looked up and saw leaves swirling and flying in the golden sky.
Amidst the misty, ethereal clouds, several dashing figures gradually disappeared into the distance, like swans spreading their wings and soaring into the sky.
Behind them stretched a vast expanse of green mountains and clear waters, which resembled an ink painting, extending infinitely towards the horizon.
Ningdu laughed.
In the windy air, one could almost hear the songs celebrating the birth of legends and myths.
The End
