Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 93: Entering Luojing (th update, please give me a monthly ticket)

Sun Yanwan went to see "Ding Feng's Letter of Submission" and even touched the corpse. He did not take any of the money he got, but only kept the bamboo swords of the two fake blind men.

The two fake blind men did not drop the sword manual of the Blind Man's Sword. Fortunately, they already had one copy and did not need a second one. But perhaps because they had been in the capital for a long time, they were able to find expert craftsmen and they actually made a bamboo sword each!

These two bamboo swords look like slightly yellowed bamboo sticks, are as thick as a child's wrist, and are more than five feet long. Inside, they contain a long and narrow soft sword, which is of the same quality as the old blind man's soft sword.

It’s not that Sun Yanwan is used to collecting weapons, but soft swords of this quality are rare. He was thinking of giving one to his eldest brother when he met him again.

Ding Feng was worthy of being the leader of the Luojing wanderers. After Sun Yanwan inspected the "letter of surrender", he took a few of his men to move the bodies out. There were many guests coming and going in this inn, but no one was alarmed.

After they had carried away the body, a young man suddenly screamed and shouted, "There's a thief! There's a thief! A thief stripped my clothes off..."

Sun Yanwan smiled awkwardly. His acupoint pressing technique was recorded in the Xuanhuang Sutra and was quite advanced, but he was not very skilled and had not put in much effort. He was actually unable to hold a young man in acupoints for half an hour, which made him feel very ashamed.

Although Ding Feng saw what Sun Yanwan was wearing, he pretended not to notice it and quietly returned to his room with his companions.

Sun Yanwan had just checked in and it was impossible for him to travel at night, so he did not alarm the two Taoist nuns. He just went back to report and had already taken care of the matter.

The eldest brother's mother acted calmly, as if it was no big deal for him to do these things, and only praised him briefly with a few words.

Sun Yanwan was a bit curious and wanted to ask if this "aunt" was really surnamed Su? Was she the emperor's concubine? But reason told him that if he didn't ask now, it would bring him endless benefits in the future.

On the morning of the second day, Sun Yanwan personally arranged the food. Since Ding Feng and others were present, he also asked them to test the poison.

Sun Yanwan only said that he bought too much and did not tell them the real purpose, which made these people quite grateful.

After the eldest brother's mother and the young nun had breakfast, he arranged a carriage, paid the inn bill, and set off safely.

Not long after they walked, Ding Feng and his attendants caught up and surrounded the carriage, just like ordinary guards.

It's no wonder that with these rangers around, the journey became comfortable again. Although it's not as good as when Little Butterfly and Xiao Nanmeng were around, with exquisite food and thoughtful service, Sun Yanwan was very content. After all, life can't always go as planned.

Ding Feng was determined to join the "Fourth Prince" and worked really hard along the way, even using his personal connections to bypass several checkpoints on the road.

Four or five days later, they arrived outside Luojing City.

Ding Feng went out alone once, and soon came back and said, "Master, I have made arrangements."

"Later, Hailing Hou's convoy will enter the city. We can blend in with them and no one will search us. However, we can't ride in this carriage anymore, and we have to disguise ourselves."

Sun Yanwan had always thought that this guy had some secret passage or something, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of method.

He asked "Aunt", and the two Taoist nuns agreed. Ding Feng immediately gave them two sets of men's clothes. Not long after, the two got off the carriage and changed into men's clothes. However, their looks were too charming, and it was obvious at a glance that they were women dressed as men.

Although Sun Yanwan did not know the art of disguise, he had never asked about it when he was with Sun Lingdie because he had no interest in it. However, he had indeed seen the Asian Makeup Art, and before he traveled through time, there were video tutorials everywhere on the Internet.

He personally transformed the two women. The eldest brother's mother and the young nun marveled at each other's transformation. Knowing the secrecy of this matter, Ding Feng dared not observe and had long since withdrawn to the side. Only after Sun Yanwan and the two nuns were ready did he have his men dispatch three horses and infiltrate the three into the group.

Ding Feng was indeed a geomancer in Luojing. He quickly brought Sun Yanwan and others and joined a convoy. Everyone in the convoy seemed to be familiar with him. He was able to make friends with everyone along the way and was not lonely at all.

Sun Yanwan thought to himself, "This guy is quite skilled in martial arts and has a wide network of contacts. He's quite a talent."

"However, I just sent my aunt to the residence of Grand Steward Du Kumei and that was it. It's a pity that she won't develop in the capital."

The caravan they infiltrated was a caravan sent by Marquis Hailing to purchase items for use in the mansion.

Marquis Hailing was extravagant in his spending, and everything used in his mansion was extremely luxurious. However, many things were not sold in the capital, so he had to send people to distant places to purchase them.

Sun Yanwan and others followed Hailing Hou's convoy and entered Luojing easily.

When entering the city, there were several military generals and several eunuchs patrolling back and forth at the city gate, their eyes bulging out as they stared at the pedestrians entering the city. If they had the slightest suspicion, they would ask the soldiers to pull the person aside for a thorough inspection.

But these people didn't even glance at Hailing Hou's convoy, and didn't even dare to stop it.

Sun Yanwan also felt a little emotional. He encountered chases repeatedly along the way, but he didn't expect that he would be safe and sound in the end and enter the city.

From this we can see that this Ding Feng indeed has extraordinary means, and can send people to Luojing without anyone noticing.

After entering the city, they followed the caravan for two or three miles, and then, at Ding Feng's suggestion, quietly left the team.

Sun Yanwan didn't want him to know what happened next, so she said, "You should go home now!"

Ding Feng saw the opportunity and left without asking any questions.

Sun Yanwan first asked someone and learned that Xiangyang Street was in the inner city, quite far from the city gate.

Although Luojing was not a huge city like the ones on Earth in later times, it was not small either. If one walked from one end of the city to the other, it would take two days.

They abandoned the carriage outside the city, so it would be difficult to get there today.

Sun Yanwan first found a clean inn nearby, paid a large sum of money to rent a quiet courtyard, and then asked the innkeeper to help her hire a carriage, planning to send the two Taoist nuns to the residence of General Manager Du Kumei early the next morning.

Although there was only one step left, Sun Yanwan was still cautious. After arranging for the eldest brother's mother and the little Taoist nun to stay, he used the magic of listening to the ground and searched carefully for several rounds. Only then did he feel at ease. He continued to meditate and practice in the yard as he had done all the way.

Not long after Sun Yanwan arrived, an extremely magnificent convoy entered the city. This convoy was flying the palace's flag, and the people waiting at the city gate did not dare to stop them.

After entering the city, the convoy headed straight for a garden. Halfway along, the curtains of the carriages lifted slightly, revealing a captivatingly pretty face. She was only twelve or thirteen years old, yet already stunningly beautiful. Gazing at the bustling streets of Luojing, she whispered, "Compared to Southern Xia, this is indeed much more prosperous."

　I estimate that I can still finish one chapter before midnight, but I really need your monthly tickets to cheer me up...
