A knife in love

Chapter 1159

After Zhang Shi finished speaking, he handed the long knife in his hand to Li Qiufeng.Li Qiufeng had no choice but to stretch out both hands to take the long knife, and said in his mouth, "Thank you, Yuanwai Zhang, for your kindness."

As soon as he took the scabbard, Li Qiufeng felt a chill in his hands.It was summer at this time, and it was very hot in the house.Just holding the scabbard with both hands, Li Qiufeng could only feel the cold into his bones, and almost shuddered.

Li Qiufeng's palms were cold, and two streams of cold air rose from his palms along his arms.Knowing that something was wrong, he hastily circulated his internal energy. True Qi rose from Dantian to Tanzhong acupoint, then passed through left and right Jianjing acupoints, reached Quchi acupoints at the elbows of both arms, and finally poured into his palms, suppressing the cold air.

It's just that Li Qiufeng subtly used his internal energy to resist the cold, but his expression remained the same.Zhang Shi showed surprise on his face, and said in his mouth: "Brother Zhu is really amazing! I don't know what this knife is made of. The blade and scabbard are cold to the touch. Even in the scorching summer, if you are completely unprepared , will also be shivering from the cold. Brother Zhu took the knife, but he acted as if nothing had happened, admiring, admiring."

Li Qiufeng's heart was all on the knife, and he turned a deaf ear to Zhang Shi's words.I saw him holding the scabbard with his left hand and the handle with his right hand, pulling it out slightly.He only heard a light "cha", and the long knife was drawn out by him.Li Qiufeng looked intently, and saw that this knife was quite different from the steel knives commonly seen in the Jianghu.The blade was only three fingers wide, half black and half gray in color, with a small arc from the collar to the tip, rather similar to a long sword.Such a long saber, although Li Qiufeng has studied the saber technique intensively, he has never seen it before.

Li Qiufeng held the long knife in his hand and gently pulled it twice.When the blade pierced through the air, there was a light "chi chi" sound.Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he praised: "It's really a good knife!"

Zhang Shi saw that Li Qiufeng had pulled out the long knife, fearing that he would accidentally scratch himself with the knife, he backed up a few steps involuntarily.Hearing Li Qiufeng praise the long knife at this time, he laughed and said: "Brother Zhu is a man of knowledge, so you can keep this knife."

Li Qiufeng put the knife back into the sheath, but put the knife back into the wooden box, and then said to Zhang Shi: "Mr. Zhang, this knife is indeed a magic weapon, but it is too sharp. Once it is out of the sheath, it will surely drink blood. .Although I practice sword skills, my martial arts are low. If I use this precious sword forcibly, not only will it not be able to hurt the enemy, but it is very likely to backfire on myself. It is extremely dangerous. Therefore, please put this precious sword away. Li is ashamed Dare to take it."

Zhang Shi felt very curious.Ordinary people in the world, if they see swords and swords, they must try their best to get them.I also know that this precious sword is a rare artifact in the world, and I was not willing to give it to others.It's just that this trip is going thousands of miles overseas, and the journey must be full of hardships and dangers.In order to make Li Qiufeng die for himself, he took out the treasured sword and gave it to Li Qiufeng.It was just beyond his expectation that Li Qiufeng declined politely, which made Zhang Shi a little at a loss.

Seeing that Zhang Shi was dumbfounded, Li Qiufeng knew that he was suspicious, and then said: "Mr. Zhang, you have never practiced martial arts, so you may not know some things. This knife is extremely sharp, it can be said to cut iron like mud, and cut hairs. It's just that this kind of divine weapon needs to be a top swordsman to work well. With my martial arts, if I use this precious sword, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill the enemy, but will hurt my own limbs instead. , those who are not capable cannot control it.”

Only then did Zhang Shi know what Li Qiufeng was thinking, he thought to himself that although this kid is young and extremely greedy for money, he is not only good at martial arts, but he is very proficient.With the help of this person, I will surely be able to turn danger into safety, and bring good fortune to disaster.Thinking of this, he was overjoyed, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Zhu, Zhang admires you very much for your insight. But we carry this precious sword with us, and it may be of help in an emergency. Tomorrow When boarding the boat, Zhang must also bring this precious saber with him. If Brother Zhu wants to use it, he can ask for it from me at any time."

Li Qiufeng nodded, and said in his mouth: "Mr. Zhang is very thoughtful, so let's do what he wants."

Zhang Shi called the steward and asked him to put the knife away and send it to the boat tomorrow.The butler agreed, and walked out with the wooden box in his arms.After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Li Qiufeng said: "Chairman Wai went to the Shibo Department's Yamen. I don't know if things are going well?"

Zhang Shi said with a smile: "I met the head of the Shibo Department's yamen and several officials. Everyone pretended to be confused and dealt with it for a while. The eunuch in charge of the Shibo Department never showed up, but I knew he was sitting The back hall, listen to what we said clearly. The Shibo Department will never take care of our affairs, they hope that our trip will make a lot of money, so they can take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Having said that, Zhang Shi took out a palm-sized wooden sign from his pocket, put it on the table with a "snap", and said to Li Qiufeng, "Look what they gave us?!"

Li Qiufeng looked at the wooden sign carefully.I saw two lines of characters engraved vertically on the wooden sign, which read "Daming City Shipping Office".Li Qiufeng knew that this was the waist badge of the Yamen of Shibo, but in front of Zhang Shi, naturally he couldn't tell the truth, lest he would see the flaws.So he looked at it for a long time, shook his head, and said: "Please excuse my shallow knowledge, I don't know what this brand is for."

Zhang Shidao: "This is the badge of the official on duty in the Shibuya Yamen. When our big ship is at sea, if we are interrogated by the navy, we only need to show this badge, and the officers and soldiers will not dare to stop us and pester us."

Li Qiufeng complimented: "Zhang Yuanwai is really powerful, he can even get the brand of the Shibo Department's Yamen. If it were me, I might have sharpened my head, and I would not be able to enter the Shibo Department's Yamen."

Zhang Shi smiled conceitedly, and said, "Brother Zhu, you don't know what's going on behind this. When my father was alive, he stuffed no less than 3000 taels of silver into the pockets of the officials of the Shibo Department every year. The eunuchs benefited from the Zhang family, so they turned a blind eye to our business with the Fusang people. This time I promised to give them twice as much money, and these people will naturally open their eyes when they see money. The door is open."

When Zhang Shi said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "Moreover, Shopkeeper Hu and the others also used money, and the Shibo Department's Yamen will not interfere with it. Everything is ready now, and the only thing we owe is Dongfeng. Qin Laowu is from the Ningbo government. The best boatman, although he has never been to Fusang, but he has been to the open sea many times, as long as he meets the Fusang people who came to welcome us, they can take us to Fusang country. In the past two months, I have smashed More than 3000 taels of silver went in. I only hope that God blesses us, and our trip will be safe and sound. At that time, we will return with full rewards, no need to work hard, and the money we earn is enough for us to spend for several lifetimes. Let's become a carefree rich man! "

That night, Li Qiufeng tossed and turned, his heart was ups and downs, and past events kept popping up in his mind.Thinking of leaving the Middle Earth and going to the Fusang Kingdom thousands of miles away, although he has always been bold, he also felt a little uneasy.

When he left Shuzhong, Li Qiufeng had told Liu Jun and Huang Zong that this trip to Fusang would not only bring Liu Feiyan's ashes back to Fusang for a good burial, but also find the remains of Liu Zongyan, a great swordsman. And bring him back to Middle-earth, so that this martial arts master can return to his roots, so that he will not be buried overseas.Although Liu Jun was quite worried about Li Qiufeng's trip, he finally agreed.

But Li Qiufeng didn't tell Liu Jun all his thoughts.He had already made up his mind, besides accomplishing these two things, he also wanted to see what the Fusang country looked like.Moreover, he would go straight to the lair of the Yagyu clan and destroy the foundation of the Yagyu clan.Ever since Murong Danyan fell into the hands of Liu Sheng's clan, Li Qiufeng vowed in his heart to kill Liu Sheng Zongyan in order to avenge Murong Danyan.In the Town God's Temple in Xiuwu County, Liu Shengzongyan escaped by chance, and Li Qiufeng felt extremely sorry.Later, according to Yang Zhenzhong's intentions, Jin Yiwei didn't exterminate the Liusheng clan, but wanted to use Liusheng Zongyan to contain the Japanese pirates that ravaged the southeast coast.It's just that Li Qiufeng didn't take it seriously.He believed that in order to wipe out the Japanese pirates, only fighting the Japanese pirates on land and sea in Daming would not be able to eradicate the Japanese pirates.If you want to kill and get rid of the roots, you have to find a way in Fusang country.Otherwise, it would be futile to cut off the water with a knife.

Li Qiufeng thought of all kinds of things and all kinds of people he encountered in this year, as if he had a big dream.The faces of Yu Changyuan, Liu Sheng Zongyan, Murong Danyan, Liu Kang, Lao Shou and others passed before his eyes one by one, and before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.
