    Chapter 286 Pomp and circumstance

    Zhou Zizhi breathed a sigh of relief. There was no hostility in the sound of these horseshoes. It seemed that they wanted to rest here just like herself.

    It¡¯s just that the sound of these horses¡¯ hooves is quite different from the ordinary hooves. It seems to be much crisper, with a faint sound of Jin Ge.

    At this time in the Southern Song Dynasty, horseshoes had not yet appeared. Only Guanlan Villa was equipped with them, and they were kept secret. Therefore, the sound of horseshoes was different from the usual dull sound, and was much crisper.

    The firelight danced on Zhou Zizhi's handsome face, making his eyes brighter and brighter, and he looked closely towards the winding direction of the woods.

    When the carriage and horses approached the fork in the road, two horses suddenly accelerated, and the sound of hoofbeats rushed toward where he was.

    In the blink of an eye, in the dusk, two black horses rushed like arrows, and a column of smoke behind them rose into the sky like a long dragon. Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, and her slender right hand clenched the hilt of the sword again.

    His white horse, which was leisurely eating the food, also raised its head, paved its front hooves lightly, and neighed twice, quite eager to try.

    Zhou Zizhi squinted her eyes, looked at the two riders rushing over, and stood up slowly.

    The two riders came like a gust of wind, carrying Huang Chen to the steps of the Octagonal Pavilion. They immediately stood up, hissed softly, and landed steadily, just in front of the stone steps, just a hair's breadth away.

    "Brother, you are so polite!" Immediately, a knight in a green shirt cupped his fists and saluted. His upper body was as straight as a pine tree, and his demeanor was calm, which was quite different from his young face.

    "You're polite!" Zhou Zizhi, the swordsman chasing the wind, couldn't help but clasped his fists in return and looked quietly at the two knights on the horse. He was standing in the pavilion, just eye level with the two knights on the horse.

    "Haha, my wife wants to rest here for the night. She is bothering her a lot. I wonder if this brother would mind?" The young knight, whose appearance was no less good than Zhou Zizhi's, had a kind face.  He doesn't look like a martial artist.

    Zhou Zizhi breathed a sigh of relief and returned the favor with clasped fists: "It's okay, you can do whatever you want!"

    He thought they were going to drive him away. Looking at their heroic riding postures, they looked like strong men. He didn't expect them to be so kind.

    "Thank you very much, brother!" The two knights lifted their horses' reins slightly, in the faint firelight.

    The horse, which seemed to be covered in black satin, immediately turned around lightly, the meat of the bullocks on its legs rolled faintly, and in the blink of an eye, it hoofed away and disappeared into the rising mud dust.

    Er, the sound of the carriage became louder and louder, and a rather large carriage appeared in the dusk, pulled by two tall horses.  Approaching slowly and gracefully.

    The two handsome knights who were running over were leading the way, and the two female knights with fluttering black hair followed the carriage and were also responsible for guarding it.

    Because the dusk was already thick, Zhou Zizhi could not see their faces clearly, but he could see their graceful figures on horseback.  She is extremely touching, as if she is as weak as a lady, without any trace of the heroic spirit of a martial artist.

    Although there are only four guards and a carriage, the four riders in this carriage convey an inexplicable majesty.  Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but get up and use branches to move the fire he had built in the center of the pavilion to the side so that it could move out of the way.

    "Yu¡ª¡ª!" A old, old voice sounded, quite loud, and the carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Bajiao Pavilion.

    When they got closer, Zhou Zizhi could already see clearly that the carriage was about the size of two ordinary carriages, and it really needed two horses to pull it.

    The spacious carriage is painted black.  It looks simple, but there is a hint of mystery. The two horses pulling the cart are also rare horses. They stand still and motionless, like statues.

    "Madam, we're here." The old man driving the car turned around and reported respectfully to the carriage, his voice full of emotion.  He sounded a bit older than his appearance with white beard and hair and rosy complexion.

    "Well Madam said, just rest here." A quiet and heart-warming reply came from the carriage.

    Her voice seemed to have the fragrance of an orchid.  It was so intoxicating that Zhou Zizhi, who was standing in front of the fire, wanted to step into the carriage immediately to see the true face of the person who was speaking.

    The male and female knights guarding the four corners of the carriage dismounted gracefully. The two male knights were handsome and upright, and exuded a vigorous heroic spirit when walking. Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but shuddered. She compared secretly and realized that the martial arts of these two men were probably not inferior to hers.  .

    But the two female knights were as graceful as willows blowing in the wind as they walked. The feminine charm was fully displayed. The long swords on their waists seemed to be hanging for good looks, but they did not know how to use them.

    Her face was as radiant as snow and unparalleled in beauty. Even though her eyes were higher than her head, the arrogant Swordsman couldn't help but sigh inwardly at what a beautiful woman she was.

    It is not necessary to have four horsesHe held his hand and took small steps on his own, slowly coming to the pine forest and resting against the pine tree.

    ¡°One of the two men stood guard by the carriage, while the other got into the pine forest and disappeared.

    Two beautiful girls with delicate and graceful figures walked behind the carriage, opened the three-foot-long car cover at the back of the carriage, and took out a large package from under the carriage, rolled it into a barrel shape, and there was about one of them.  It is tall and needs to be surrounded.

    What the other woman took out was a flat box, about the length of a person and half an arm high. Judging from her cautious expression, it was obvious that there was something valuable inside.

    The two women were carrying parcels and long boxes of the same size as themselves, effortlessly, as if they were just holding straws. Zhou Zizhi, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that the martial arts of these two beautiful women must be extremely high.  Hmm I'm afraid it's not inferior to myself!

    The two women walked up the stone steps with their lotus feet, carrying a faint fragrance, and came to the Octagonal Pavilion. They glanced at Zhou Zizhi, who was wearing white clothes and a sword, and nodded slightly. The hair on her shawl was as bright as black satin, in the firelight.  The light kept flashing.

    The fragrance entered her nose, and Zhou Zizhi felt as if her acupuncture points were being tapped. She felt that her neck was stiff and unable to move, but her whole body was softened by the fragrance. Their full eyes flashed in front of her eyes, as if they were clear water in a deep pool, so clear and pure.  Tempting and impossible to stop looking at.

    The two girls were not surprised by Zhou Zizhi's gaffe, and there was not even the slightest wave of emotion on their pretty faces. They had seen it many times and were not surprised at all.

    Looking at Zhou Zizhi, who was standing there blankly, as if he was nothing, they started to get busy.  The big package was unwrapped, and it turned out to be a rolled-up carpet. I didn't know what kind of fur it was, and it was shiny silver, like the best mink fur, and there seemed to be light flowing in it.

    The long and flat box was opened, and a warm light suddenly flashed through the thick cotton cloth.  The box is divided into small grids one by one. There are cups, lamps, bowls, dishes, pots, etc. in the grids. All daily utensils are all carved from white jade.

    Each small grid is stuffed with flawless snow-white cotton, making the white jade objects seem to be stuck in a quagmire. Unexpectedly, these jade objects were shaken and shattered.

    Zhou Zizhi, who was watching blankly from the side, couldn't help but be speechless, even though she came from a wealthy family.  He has never seen such extravagant usage, and he also has some discernment. He can tell at a glance that these jade articles are not ordinary and belong to his own family.  I'm afraid I can't afford even one.

    The breeze blew, the firelight flickered slightly, and the trains of the two women's light green robes also changed. A girl took a look.  Look at the direction the wind is blowing, then take a step, choose a location, and lay down the thick carpet with your back to the wind.

    The other girl held her bare hands and took out the white jade jug with simple and vigorous carvings, placed it on the silver carpet, and then took out the white jade cups one by one.  A total of seven jade cups were taken out and placed next to the white jade wine pot. Then the long flat box was closed and placed next to the railing.

    At this time, the male knight who had disappeared without a trace floated into the pavilion carrying a pile of dead branches and leaves, and gently placed them opposite the two women. He smiled at the stunned Zhou Zizhi, which was quite friendly.

    Zhou Zizhi also responded with a smile.  But he was even more wary.  He has been walking in the martial arts world for quite some time, so he will not let down his guard because of the other person's smile.  Seeing that he was approaching unknowingly just now, but he didn't realize it at all, he was very threatening.

    The bonfire was quickly lit, and Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but overturn her original idea. This person was definitely not a green hand who had never been in the world. Judging from his quickness in making fire, he must be a veteran of camping, and he was also quite talented.  Not as good as.

    With the addition of this fire, the entire pavilion suddenly became much brighter, making the beautiful faces of the two girls even more charming.

    When another young knight saw his companion coming with firewood, he no longer stood and looked around to be careful, but also entered the pine forest, and soon reappeared, holding two large stones in his hands, about an arm's length.  Tall and short, square in shape.

    The male knight who finished lighting the fire jumped lightly, stepped on the railing, stepped forward, and landed directly in front of the other male knight. He took a stone, and then the two of them walked this way while stroking the stone.  , the stone powder rustled down, and was blown away by the night wind without a trace.

    When they stepped onto the stone steps and reached the small pavilion, when they put down the stones, the two stones had turned into eight pieces, like eight carved square pillars, with one end square and the other slightly rounded.  It was quite strange, and Zhou Zizhi, who was watching quietly from the side, was awestruck and a little confused.

    The other person left, and when they got to the carriage, what they brought over were two small subway pots, one with a round bottom and one with a flat bottom. Zhou Zizhi suddenly realized that they were going to make a fire here to cook!

    The two iron pots were supported by four stone pillars. They were stable but also similar in appearance. Zhou Zizhi listened intently. She felt that this lady was too grand!

    "Madam, you are ready." A female knight walked down the steps and came to KuanNext to the big carriage, Fan Jin bowed and reported respectfully, his voice was crisp and sweet.

    Zhou Zizhi no longer cared about admiring the exquisite white jade cups and white jade pots on the carpet, but fixed her gaze on the carriage, wanting to see what this magnificent Mrs. Feng looked like.

    The door of the carriage was gently pushed open, and a woman with an extremely graceful figure stepped out. She was dressed in a light blue Luo shirt, and her face was as white as jade and as elegant as orchid.

    She got off the carriage, turned around and looked back, her eyes were wandering, and her eyes were wide open. Zhou Zizhi felt like she was being tapped again, and she shouted in her heart: There is such a woman!  There is such a beautiful woman in the world!

    The woman did not move, but stretched out her wrist and said softly: "Madam, it's ready, do you want to come down?"

    "Thank you Wan'er and Rou'er for your hard work!" A very soft voice came from the carriage, with a gentleness that penetrated into the bone marrow. Zhou Zizhi's already stiff body suddenly became soft, and the pores all over her body were open, saying no  Out of transparency.

    A moon-white sleeve stretched out. Under the twilight, in the sleeve, a slender hand as white as jade was held by the woman in blue. Then a man wearing a moon-white dress stepped out elegantly from the carriage.  woman.

    Zhou Zizhi felt that the sky and the earth suddenly lit up, as if it was no longer night. Even though this woman in palace clothes was wearing a veil and could not see her face clearly, she could not hide her peerless grace. She looked very much like the Fairy Chang'e who descended from the Moon Palace.  .

    "Xiaolan doesn't need to hold her like this, I'm not a frail rich lady!" The palace-dressed fairy gently patted her bare hands, and chuckled at the beautiful woman with a temperament like orchid next to her, with a gentle voice, like  A spring breeze was gently blowing everyone's hearts.

    "This is the rule set by the owner of the village. Madam, please don't embarrass the little girl!" The beautiful woman called Xiaolan smiled softly, with a charming grace.

    The two female knights standing behind them also pursed their lips and chuckled. They were like two roses and an orchid blooming. They were so beautiful that Zhou Zizhi, who was standing in the pavilion, turned into a complete goose.

    "Okay, okay." The gentle voice agreed helplessly, and with the help of Xiaolan, she walked slowly up the stone steps and arrived at the pavilion.

    Seeing Zhou Zizhi standing blankly, staring at him in a daze, she did not show any abnormality, but as if she had not seen her before, Yingying bowed to her and said softly: "I've been waiting for you to disturb me, but I'd like to see you, young hero."  Don¡¯t be offended!¡±

    Zhou Zizhi hurriedly returned the gift, not daring to look directly, she clasped her fists and lowered her head and said, "I don't dare, madam, you're too polite!"

    This woman wears a thin white gauze on her face, embroidered with a few elegant plum blossoms, making it impossible to see her true appearance. Only the eyes are blank, with nothing embroidered on them.

    Even though she was separated by a layer of white gauze, Zhou Zizhi was intoxicated by her charming eyes. After one glance, she didn't dare to look again, for fear that she would lose her composure and be embarrassed in front of this fairy.

    "Madam, sit down and talk." Xiaolan urged softly from the side, glancing at Zhou Zizhi, there was no warmth in her clear eyes.

    Xiaolan would feel at least 30% hostility and 70% wariness towards the men who came close to Madam Feng. She knew that even if Madam Feng wore a veil, she still could not cover up the unparalleled elegance that inadvertently overflowed. Even if the men noticed her  Even the face cannot be rejected.

    This Mrs. Feng is one of Xiao Yuesheng's wives - Xiaofeng, who is heading to Lin'an City from Guanlan Villa.

    Xiaofeng nodded and smiled. Even though she was separated by a veil, people around her could still feel her smile. This was a mysterious feeling that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.

    She gently held the skirt of the Yue White House outfit, her movements were graceful and graceful, and she slowly sat down on the silver carpet in the firelight. She sat with her legs sideways, her upper body straight, elegant and dignified.

    Xiaolan and the other two female knights sat next to her and surrounded her. Zhou Zizhi couldn't help but sit down too, but the cloak under her body was not as thick and shiny as the carpet under the women.  , too shabby.

    " Xiaolan held the pot in her snow-white jade hands and filled half of each of the white jade cups. Although these white jade cups are exquisite and exquisite, if they are all filled, the pot of wine will be exhausted.

    Although Xiaofeng and Xiaolan looked casual and seemed to have no distinction between master and servant, Zhou Zizhi on the side could feel the noble demeanor in their gestures. They had no reserve or pride in their behavior, but they could not erase the dignity from the inside out.  This air of nobility.
