Chapter 56: The first stage of the strategy is reached
As mentioned before, Murong Villa is very big, so big that it even encircles a small lake within the wall of the villa - it is a "small lake" rather than a "small pond". Although it pays great attention to beauty and entertainment purposes, it is planted or arranged willows, lotus, lakeside pavilions, lakeside boats and other things, but it also breeds various fish for daily consumption by the Murong people, so the size of them naturally cannot be too small.
But that's all. From various perspectives, it is a normal small lake. There is no such strange thing as "there is a stone pillar leading directly to the clouds in the center of the lake. There seems to be something faintly visible at the top of the stone pillar"... Well, if there is really such a strange thing? It can only be the possibility that someone from another world who is idle and has nothing to do to join forces with the maid to pick up girls.
Murong Jiu, who knew roughly what was going on, might have been trying to continue playing with her bad temper, but... but if she didn't go and see "what is that?", would she regret it for life? After all, she followed Zhang Jing's rapid steps along the guidance of the torch toward the lake...
"So who is the target? Ninth Sister? Jing Mei?"——By Sister
"That person clearly said he wanted three wives and four concubines. Why should the ninth sister and Jingmei be so angry? Second sister reminds you not to be deceived by sweet words." - by Second sister
"I have inquired about it. In his world, Lord Leeds is considered a king-like existence... The concept of three wives and four concubines should not be changed." - by Liujie
"If a man is willing to do this for me... I will admit that he is fickle." - by the third sister
"What?!"——by third brother-in-law
Well, who wouldn't see such a conspicuous thing except Murong Jiu and Zhang Jing who had been staying in the house and were deliberately blocked? The lakeside has long surrounded all the members of the Murong family who still stayed in the villa... Of course, most maids, guards and others are unable to get close to them because of their positions and status issues.
"This, this..."
"It's not the same thing!"
Zhang Jing and Murong Jiu, who became the center of the topic of the conversation between the cousin and the brother-in-law, inevitably blushed. After all, they were just yellow girls and had never encountered such a scene.
"Well, Jiuer, Jinger, you go and see what happened first..." Mr. Murong interrupted everyone's words. Zhang Jing was not qualified to be in charge. Regarding the marriage issue of her little daughter... Well, she is not clear at the moment. "It seems that if you don't take the lead, we can't even open our eyes."
"..." The two of them looked in the direction of the torch extension, and from a stone road on the shore, there seemed to be an entrance below the stone pillar, but the entrance was currently blocked by Leeds' maid who exuded the aura of "I'm not easy to mess with".
"Then... let's go first, Nine Sister!"
Zhang Jing, who didn't like to be in this atmosphere, quickly pulled up her cousin and escaped quickly through this not-too-long stone passage. The maid who was originally blocking the entrance had moved to the entrance to allow them to enter.
"Wow, from this perspective - Wow!" Zhang Jing, who was standing at the bottom of the stone pillar, was shocked, but her sigh was pulled in by Murong Jiu before she could be published. Zhang Jing didn't feel embarrassed. Murong Jiu felt embarrassed, especially the maid's calm expression made her realize that this was a gap in knowledge.
The inside of the stone pillar is a hollow structure, and there is a spiral rising stone staircase on its inner wall. When you squint your eyes, you can barely see that the end of the staircase is the same color as the evening sky.
"Sister Jing."
"Yeah~"
The function of the stairs is to make people walk upwards, but don’t forget that they are martial arts masters, especially the most famous ones of the Murong family are light skills and hidden weapons. They often fly five or six meters with one jump. So they stand in the middle of the stairs, stepping on the spiral stone stairs as the focus point, and climbing upwards lightly but quickly. However, even if they use this method to "climb the stairs", they still spend a lot of time to reach the end of the stairs, which shows the height of the stone pillar.
"Wow! This pillar won't collapse suddenly, right?" Looking down from the end, they felt panicked. Even with their light skills, they could easily recover even if they fell off the air. However, this amazing height can only be seen to arouse their fear.
After all, even if you have light skills, martial arts masters still have no wings.
"Cough." Murong Jiu coughed dryly, trying his best to show that he was as calm as usual, "as if the girl in the world doesn't care about everything in her heart." He put away the gaze down, raised his slender feet and walked up the stairs. However, when she could see the true appearance of the building above, she could not take steps for the time being.
It was a world like nothing, ah, the furniture that once appeared at the Leeds house was ignored... But just ignore it, the transparent crystals in Murong Jiu's eyes that could only be seen with all his strength. Yes, there is a layer of transparent things wrapped like a box to form a space!
"This... is transparent 'glass'?" It seems that there are similar things in this martial arts world, but the production process problem can only produce colored glazed products, and colorless transparent glass products still need to be developed and developed.
"Is it really okay to step on this kind of thing?" Zhang Jing said so and stepped on it.
Transfer the center of gravity, huh? It's okay... let the other foot over, it's okay...jump.
"Don't jump!" Murong Jiu hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.
"…?" Zhang Jing, who was very brave, has fallen down... Of course, it's still okay.
"Hu." Murong Jiu, who always felt that Liuli was very fragile, breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to blame his reckless cousin, but when he saw the result, he seemed to be worried... Someone was brave enough to go out as a demonstration, took two steps, and couldn't help but look down.
"!!!" x2
The cousin seemed to be frightened by the same kind of fright, and hurried to the stone pillar area that was once worried about "will collapse suddenly" - at least there were stones underneath, not 'nothing', and I felt more at ease.
However, after taking the first step, the two of them quickly challenged the second time... Although they still walked slowly step by step, they looked cautious with the 'What's wrong with me, I immediately flew back to the pillar area', but they didn't really run back.
When they really gave up their fear completely, they found that there was a sofa with several wooden signs in front of them in the corner of this transparent box, and there was still a person lying on the sofa, with the man's head covered with the book "Overlord Sword Technique" - who knows very clearly?
"……………” When I saw someone sleeping here calmly, I walked step by step carefully and cautiously, as if I was mentally retarded, right? Both of them were of slightly strong self-esteem. As soon as their backbone came up, they pretended to be calm and walked. As they walked, they quickly became relieved and bold.
"My sister, come and see here~~"
"……Um?"
There were obviously words on the wooden sign in front of the sofa, and before calling out Leeds, who didn't know whether he was asleep or not, they naturally subconsciously read the text on the sign first.
"I don't think I did something wrong, I was forced by Zhang Jing"
"If you think I'm annoying, please be patient. If I don't have anyone here, I don't know when this tower will collapse"
"Although I have taken safety measures, please do not smash the glass with a weak hand, you will bear the consequences"
"If you want to enjoy the summer breeze and the best scenery in the sky, please go up to the second floor, but please note that people on the first floor can see your **********"
"The most important point is, don't harass me to rest. How long do you think I spent digging stones and building this thing in the scorching sun? And after you go back, I will be responsible for tearing it off!"
“…………”
“…………”
Well, the cousins looked at each other and let go of a tired, another person in another world, without considering it, followed the stairs built with white glass for the sake of conspicuousness to walk up the second floor.
"!" Sure enough, the hot wind with the heat is coming, which is the temperature that summer should be!
However, at this moment, they were not complaining about this hot wind, because this wind made them feel that they were no longer in a transparent box... but in the sky! The flow of air made them feel like such an illusion!
Moreover, at this time they came to their senses, what position they were in!
The hills around Murong Villa are only a few hundred meters high. After all, this is a summer resort rather than a remote area. This tall tower is two or three times the height of a hill! Murong Villa, the mountains are in your eyes!
And this time is about to be the sunset.
"ah……"
Half a month ago, Murong Jiu always thought that he was knowledgeable and both civil and military. Only Zhang Jing could compare with him among the younger generation. However, the appearance of someone made her feel that she was a frog in the well with shallow knowledge but ignorant.
But at this moment, her unhappiness suddenly disappeared! This is a scene that can make the chicked person broaden his mind!
“So beautiful…”
Zhang Jing thinks that she has been through the world and has seen real villains and hypocrites, and will not be easily deceived by simple sweet words. However, someone whose style of conduct is not very related to "gentleman" and "boy" has once again broadened her horizons.
