Chapter 9 Donglin Temple Pays Vows

Chu Ying was standing on the plum blossom pile and punching. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his forehead and looked up to see the big raindrops falling from the sky.

Just as he was about to jump off the stake, Bao Xuewu shouted, "It's raining, Princess. Come and take shelter from the rain."

Chu Ying was shocked, and his feet were too heavy and his heart was unsteady, so he fell forward. She also reacted quickly. When she fell, her right hand grabbed a stake beside her, and then she rolled over and landed on the ground.

Jia Feng slapped Bao Xuewu on the back of his head and scolded, "What the hell is your name, Princess? Next time, go and get the Twenty Army Staff."

Chu Ying was not angry either. He smiled and said, "Hurry to take shelter from the rain!"

"Tick, tick..."

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and a layer of white rain fog, like a misty veil, is splashed on the roof of the room and on the training ground..

Chu Ying saw that the ground was wet and went to the practice room to practice sword. She likes swordsmanship better than heavy mace and boring boxing. Those girls who watched swordsmanship movies before were so smart and graceful when they danced swords. They were so handsome that they had no friends.

After practising swords, Chu Ying asked, "Uncle Jia, is there a better sword in the mansion? I can't use it properly."

Not only is it light, but also the quality of the sword is average.

Jia Feng nodded and said, "Yes. What is hanging on the wall of the Shizi's study is a sword that is hard to find. I will take you to see it after dinner."

Chu Ying shook his head and said, "I'll ask my brother when he comes back."

Jia Feng said with a smile, "This sword was originally bought by the prince for the princess, but you don't want him to hang it in the study. The prince once said that he would give you this sword when you think it through."

"Then go and have a look after dinner."

When we were having dinner, the butler came and told us that the Huai King had sent a letter to the prince.

When Chu Ying heard that he was not in the mood to eat, he quickly stood up and said, "Where's the letter? Give it to me quickly."

She first opened the letter from the Huai King. Although she didn't know some words, she could guess them from the context. After reading the letter, she couldn't laugh or cry. As soon as Huai Wang heard that she was injured and fell into a coma, he started to return. After a day's walk, he knew that she was not in danger when she woke up and returned to Ningyang.

Jia Feng looked at her face and asked carefully, "What did the lord say in the letter, princess?"

Chu Ying put down the letter and said, "Let me heal my wounds and bring me something delicious and interesting when I come back next month."

"Don't be sad, Princess..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Ying said with a smile, "Father, he didn't come back until he knew I was fine. It's not that he doesn't care about me. What's wrong with me?"

After saying that, she opened Chu Jin's letter again. After seeing it, she asked Jia Feng with a puzzled face, "Brother asked me to go to Donglin Temple to make a wish, but I didn't make a wish in Donglin Temple?"

Jia Feng asked, "In February, you accompanied the prince to Donglin Temple. Maybe you made a wish and forgot it later."

Chu Ying laughed and said, "I did make a wish, but it can't be realized in a short time."

The original body may be a marriage. She hopes to marry the person whom Princess Huai gave her. Now it is impossible for her to realize this wish.

Jia Feng also wondered what Chujin meant: "Princess, the prince will not harm you. Since you go to Donglin Temple to pay your vows, let's go!"

"But my father said that I was not allowed to leave Hongcheng alone without his consent."

Jia Feng said with a smile, "The lord was worried that you would go out with the princess and be in danger, so he left a message. This time, he took more guards to escort the princess to Donglin Temple. The lord knew he would not blame him."

The main reason is that Chu Ying has become not only assertive, but also tough. He won't worry about going out alone, even though he will take the guards with him.

After breakfast, he went to the courtyard of Chujin. As soon as he entered the study, Chu Ying saw a sword hanging on the wall.

Taking down the sword, Chu Ying held the gilded handle with the dragon pattern and said with a smile, "This sword is quite heavy."

Jia Feng nodded and said, "I heard the prince said that the sword was made of black iron."

Dark iron is also called meteorite, which is really valuable.

Chu Ying pulled out the sword. The sword was as dark as ink, and the body was shining with cold light. She exclaimed, "Good sword."

After saying this, she pulled out a hair and put it on the blade of the sword. Then she blew with her mouth and saw that the hair was broken in two.

Jia Feng smiled and asked Bao Xuewu to find a waste knife with rolled blade. He held it up and said to Chu Ying, "Try it, Princess."

Chu Ying cut it down with three forces, and the waste knife fell into two pieces with a clink: "Blowing hair and breaking hair cut iron like mud. It's really a peerless sword."

Jia Feng stood beside him without speaking. The sword was bought by the prince at a cost of eighteen thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the price.

The sword is good, but the scabbard is black and ugly. Chu Ying was disgusted and said, "We need to change a beautiful scabbard."

This sword is not only a defensive weapon, but also an ornament.

Jia Feng responded and said, "The sword is so sharp that the scabbard needs to be made of special materials. I'm sorry that you used the scabbard first."

"Yes."

Whatever she wanted was arranged at the command of someone. Chu Ying felt that such a day would not be too comfortable.

When the rain stopped, Chu Ying suddenly thought, "Uncle Jia, don't wait for tomorrow, let's go to Donglin Temple today!"

Jia Feng disagreed, shook his head and said: "The things are not ready, princess. You'd better go tomorrow!"

Chu Ying said, "Please make a list and give it to the housekeeper, and let him send it to the Donglin Temple after he has arranged it."

"Why can't you wait one more day, Princess?"

Chu Ying said with a smile, "I just want to go out now. The air is fresh after the rain. I think the scenery in the countryside is good now."

After saying that, she pretended to feel: "Previously, my mother and concubine always told me that a lady should not go out of the door, not smile, not show her teeth, and not contact with strange men. I have been strictly abiding by this for several years. But this time, I walked in front of the Hall of the King of Hell and found that I have been living like a walking corpse in the box for years."

"My life is only fifty or sixty years, and I have wasted thirteen years. I will live according to my own wishes in the future, and it is not worth coming to this world."

She quoted the Huai King from the latter sentence. Chu Ying knew that the Huai King was an unusual dandy.

Jia Feng suddenly understood that the princess had changed from listening to the princess to listening to the prince. It seems to have changed, but the essence has not changed. But fortunately, although the lord did not do his duty, he never suffered a loss.

Seeing Jia Feng's agreement to go to Donglin Temple now, Chu Ying smiled and asked, "What's the name of this sword?"

"There is no name. The princess can choose one by herself."

Chu Ying's mind flashed two words, and she decided directly after a short time: "Let's call it Wuchen!"
