The beauty of the shimmering brocade is self-evident; under the sunlight, the patterns of dragons and phoenixes, flowers in full bloom, and other auspicious symbols shimmer and shine.
Gold, silver, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—nine colors complement each other, just like a rainbow falling from the sky to earth, dazzling and mesmerizing.
What's even more remarkable is that it's lightweight and feels like nothing when worn, and it's also waterproof, making it both practical and unique.
Even when walking in wind and rain, clothes made of shimmering brocade can stay dry and free of any water stains.
When the Floating Light Brocade was first woven, Qin Qianyu immediately took a liking to the nine-colored fabric.
In the past, five-colored brocade was the most common, but this year, nine colors have appeared for the first time, which is really rare.
Qin Qianyu couldn't help but recall that her younger sister, Qin Qianluo, was always busy making clothes for her and their mother, but she was extremely frugal with herself and rarely bought new clothes.
Thinking of all this, Qin Qianyu felt guilty. Apart from the year Qin Qianluo came of age, she had never given her younger sister any presentable gifts.
The appearance of this nine-colored shimmering brocade is like a timely rain.
She thought with great joy that if she could make this fabric into a dress and wear it on Luo'er, it would surely accentuate her gentle and beautiful appearance.
It would also be perfect as a close-fitting garment, soft and comforting.
Imagining her younger sister's surprised expression when she received the gift, Qin Qianyu's lips couldn't help but curl up slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness and anticipation.
She secretly resolved to escort this batch of shimmering brocade back to the capital safely and personally hand this precious gift to her younger sister.
She gently patted the horse's neck, and the black horse seemed to sense its owner's sentiment, raising its head and neighing before galloping forward along the official road.
The escorting convoy moved slowly along the winding official road, its wheels leaving deep ruts on the dirt road.
The creaking sound echoed across the open field.
In this peaceful and prosperous era, the Tianxuan Kingdom was tranquil and peaceful, with people living in peace and happiness, and the public order was good. In ordinary days, few bandits dared to cause trouble.
Furthermore, the Qin family's prestige in the Tianxuan Kingdom is at its zenith, and their influence is deeply entrenched, so much so that a single move could have far-reaching consequences.
The Qin family was a glorious family, with both a prime minister of exceptional wisdom who served as a minister in the court and a king of a different surname who held immense power and influence.
His illustrious reputation was so great that it inspired awe in all who heard of him.
Even though the bandits acted arrogantly, they were well aware of the Qin family's deep-rooted power and dared not easily provoke this behemoth.
Qin Qianyu sat gracefully on a tall, chestnut-red horse, her figure light and elegant.
She was dressed in a simple, fitted outfit; the soft fabric clung to her figure, outlining her smooth lines.
A black belt inlaid with jade was tied around her waist. The warm and lustrous jade shone softly in the sunlight, further accentuating her slender waist.
A long sword with a gleaming cold light was hanging at one side of her waist. With her movements, the scabbard gently tapped against the saddle, making a crisp sound.
She wore an exquisite wide-brimmed conical hat, with a few wisps of hair playfully falling from beneath it, brushing against her fair cheeks.
Along the way, she chatted with the guards and maids, sharing her experiences and interesting stories from the journey.
Silvery laughter echoed through the convoy from time to time, adding vitality and energy to the long and tedious journey and dispelling the fatigue in everyone's hearts.
However, just as they were about to reach the capital, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.
The convoy slowly drove onto a deserted path, with dense and secluded forests on both sides.
The lush foliage intertwined, blocking out the sun and making the forest dimly lit, eerily quiet, and subtly exuding a sense of oppression.
Occasionally, the calls of unknown birds would break the silence, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Suddenly, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the forest, and then a dozen men in black sprang out from the dense bushes like ghosts.
They were dressed in tight black clothes, their faces covered with black cloth, revealing only pairs of cold and fierce eyes, like evil spirits from the dark abyss.
Everyone held a long knife, the blades gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves, like frost in a cold night, sending shivers down one's spine.
Their movements were skillful and their teamwork seamless; in the blink of an eye, they had completely surrounded the escorting convoy.
The encirclement was so tight it was like an invisible net, trapping the convoy firmly in the center.
Startled, Qin Qianyu's horse reared up on its hind legs and let out a neigh.
Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly tightened the reins with both hands, steadily controlling the horse and maintaining her balance.
Her beautiful eyes widened, and a moment of stunned silence flashed across her face, clearly caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
But years of experience and training in business allowed her to quickly calm down, and her eyes instantly became sharp as an eagle's.
She took a deep breath, calmed her inner turmoil, and calmly observed the situation around her.
His usual easygoing and refined demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling and sharp aura.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes, like a cheetah poised to pounce in the dark, as she coldly surveyed the group of men in black.
She stood tall with her back straight and her head held high, radiating an innate majesty, her voice booming like a bell.
He said coldly, "In broad daylight, under the clear sky, what kind of madman dares to commit such a robbery!"
The Qin family has always conducted its business openly and honestly, and has always kept to itself and its people separate from all sorts of heroes in the martial arts world. Your rash actions show a complete disregard for the rules of the martial arts world.
