The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 77 Murong Offers the Sword
At this time, Zhizhou Mansion, as Zhao Dongting's residence, was naturally heavily guarded.There are dozens of imperial guards guarding the main entrance alone.

Further inside, every three steps there are two guards standing on both sides of the road facing each other.Moreover, there are many sentry posts in the dark and bright places, and the arrows are cold.

From the outside, you can see several teams of guards patrolling inside.

And at night, the guards are even stricter.

Liu Hongyi took Murong Chuan and others to Zhizhou Mansion, but was blocked by the imperial guards.

The centurion on duty knew Liu Hongyi, but not Murong Chuan and others.

He saluted Liu Hongyi and said, "General Liu!"

Then he looked at Murong Chuan and the people from Xiulin Castle next to him with puzzled eyes.

Liu Hongyi said: "This is the Lord Murong Castle of Xiulin Castle. He has treasures to present to the emperor. This general will take him in."

The centurion hesitated slightly, and said: "If General Liu leads people, it is natural, but the palace stipulates that no weapons are allowed to be brought into the palace!"

Murong Chuan nodded with a smile beside him, and said politely, "Just go in with Xiao Wu."

As he said that, he took off the long sword worn on his waist and handed it to the attendant next to him, "You wait here for the old man."

The attendant quickly took the sword, "Yes."

The indifferent young man named Xiao Wu also took off the saber and handed it to the attendant with a stern look on his face.There were no emotional fluctuations in his eyes from beginning to end, and Yuchangjian was always in his arms.

The centurion looked at the fish intestines protruding from his arms, and said, "This..."

Liu Hongyi said: "This is the treasure that the fort mainly offered. Let him bring it in. With the guarantee of this general, nothing will happen."

This time he joined forces with Xiulinbao to eliminate pirates, and he has great trust in Xiulinbao.

Murong Chuan still smiled on his face, but sneered in his heart.In his opinion, Liu Hongyi was a fool who was being used by him without realizing it.

Although the centurion knew the rules, he couldn't refute Liu Hongyi's face, so he said: "That's good!"

Then he waved his hand, telling the Janissaries to move out of the way.

Murong Chuan cupped his hands to the centurion, and Xiao Wu followed Liu Hongyi and walked inside.

Rules are dead, people are alive.

The centurion looked at their backs and thought to himself, General Liu's character is well known in the government and the public, since it is an offering of treasures, the emperor will not blame him.

Just like that, Murong Chuan and Na Xiaowu followed Liu Hongyi directly to the Palace of Political Affairs.

Because they spent some time in the military camp before, all the officials had already gathered outside the hall, and they only entered the hall when the morning time came.

Seeing Liu Hongyi bringing two outsiders, and one of them was holding a sword, Su Liuyi asked, "General Liu, who are these two?"

Murong Chuan was the first to greet Mu Kangxun, "Lord Zhizhou."

Mu Kangxun was talking with someone, when he heard him shout, he turned around and saw that it was Murong Chuan, he asked in confusion, "Master Murong Castle, why are you here?"

He had personally sent the plaque to Xiulin Castle before, and he had been treated graciously, so he had a very good impression of Murong Chuan, a hero in the world.

Liu Hongyi introduced, "My lords, this is Murong Chuan, the castle master of Xiulin Castle who helped our army destroy pirates."

All the ministers who looked at Murongchuan were a little surprised.

They have never met Murong Chuan, but they have heard the word "Xiu Linbao" a lot these days.Well-known Dayi Sect!
At that moment, several ministers bowed their hands to Murong Chuan as a greeting.

This is naturally considered extremely polite, if the imperial court had not been reduced to Leizhou, with their official positions, they would not have paid any attention to the castle master of Murong Chuan.

Although Xiulin Fort is very famous in the Jianghu of Leizhou, but after all, it cannot be officially listed.

In ancient times, officials were officials, and people were people, and the distinction was very clear. No matter how capable the people were, they were still people.Officials don't get close to ordinary people casually.

Officials have official prestige, that's it.

Murong Chuan also consciously lowered his posture and bowed deeply, "I have seen you, my lords."

At this time, Zhao Dongting's figure had already appeared outside the courtyard wall of the Yizheng Hall.

The ministers didn't care about the greetings, and hurriedly walked to the Palace of Political Affairs.

Liu Hongyi said to Murong Chuan: "Castle Master, please wait here first, and wait for me to report to the Holy Majesty before I come out and let you in."

Murong Chuan nodded, and then he and Xiao Wu were taken to the side of the Yizheng Hall by the eunuch.

Seeing the officials filing in, Zhao Dongting walked slowly with Li Yuanxiu, his eyes flashed a few more vicious colors.

Of course he could see that those ministers didn't particularly care about him.I think he is also a well-known figure in the Jianghu. If he hadn't assassinated Zhao Dongting, he wouldn't have come to Zhizhou Mansion to receive such cold treatment.

But Zhao Dongting didn't notice Murong Chuan and Xiao Wu, and brought Li Yuanxiu directly into the hall.

The officials fell to their knees and shouted long live.

Not long after, Liu Hongyi played: "Your Majesty, Murong Chuan, the Lord of Xiulin Castle, is waiting outside the hall with the Yuchang Sword, and wants to present it to the Emperor."

Fish sausage sword?
Even Zhao Dongting knew the name of this sword.

Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai'a, Qixing, Longyuan, Ganjiang, Moxie, Yuchang, Chunjun, Chengying, these ten ancient sharp weapons were evaluated as the top ten famous swords in ancient times in later generations, and they were listed in many ancient books. It is recorded in both legends and legends.He didn't expect that when he traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty, he would be able to see the fish intestines in it.

At the moment, Zhao Dongting was also somewhat curious, and said, "Show him in."

There are no traces of the top ten famous swords in later generations, so he certainly wants to see if the fish intestines in the top ten famous swords are worthy of their names.

"Yes."

Liu Hongyi bowed, walked outside the hall, and said to Murong Chuan who was waiting on the left fence: "Master Murong Castle, the emperor wants you to enter."

"Thank you, General."

Murong Chuan bowed to Liu Hongyi again, then lowered his voice and said to Xiao Wu beside him, "Think about your sister."

These words seem ordinary, but it seems extremely abrupt to say them at this time.Moreover, Murong Chuan's voice was extremely indifferent.

Xiao Wu's expressionless eyes suddenly fluctuated at this moment, he tightly held the Yuchang Sword in his arms, nodded slightly, and did not speak.

Then the two of them followed Liu Hongyi to the main hall, knelt down on the ground, "Cao Min Murong Chuan and Xiao Wu kowtowed to the emperor."

Zhao Dongting asked the two to stand up, looked deeply at Murong Chuan, who had a strand of white hair in the middle of his forehead, and said, "Master Murong, we meet again."

Murong Chuan raised his head, looked at Zhao Dongting, and said, "Murong Chuan is honored to see the Emperor Long Yan again, it is Murong Chuan's honor."

He was not surprised, because he saw Zhao Dongting outside Xiulin Castle that night, and Murong Hao told him Zhao Dongting's identity just after Zhao Dongting left.

He had never seen Zhao Dongting, but he had seen Murong Hao in Quzhou Island before.Murong Hao is the one leading the assassination of Zhao Dongting at this moment.

Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, and said again: "I heard from General Liu that the Lord of Murong Castle is here to present the Fish Intestine Sword?"

"Exactly."

Murong Chuan showed a smiling face, pointed to Xiao Wu next to him, and said, "This is Xiao Wu, my disciple of Xiulin Castle. He accidentally found the fish intestine sword covered in dust in the pirate's lair. I recognized it as the ancient sword in the castle. Empress Dowager Jianyu didn't dare to steal it, so she hurried over to present it to the emperor."

"Everyone in Xiulin Fort is loyal and righteous men..."

Zhao Dongting pretended to sigh, and then said to Li Yuanxiu next to him: "Eunuch, go and show me."

After all, he had some doubts about Xiu Linbao, so he wouldn't be foolish enough to go down and grab the sword by himself.

Seeing this, Murong Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he still stood beside Xiao Wu, not seeing any movement.

Li Yuanxiu went to the front of Xiaowu, took the Yuchang Sword from Xiaowu's hand, walked back to Zhao Dongting, and opened the cloth.The Fish Intestine Sword was revealed to everyone.

The eyes of all the ministers were instantly captured by the Yuchang Sword full of simple and mysterious atmosphere.

This sword looks extraordinary.

Zhang Shijie said with emotion: "I heard that the fish intestines were made by Ou Yezi, the master swordsmith, who picked tin from Chijin Mountain and copper from Ruoye River, and was struck by rain and lightning to obtain the essence of heaven and earth. It was crowned as the sword of bravery. I can see it today. It's really unusual."

After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to the emperor for getting this treasure."

Zhao Dongting's eyes were also attracted by Yuchangjian.This fish gut is indeed far from comparable to those ancient swords he saw in his previous life.

It's just that he didn't think the Fish Intestine Sword was made from the tin of Chijin Mountain and the copper of Ruoye River.It is unrealistic to forge a sword with thunder and lightning. Looking at the color and luster of the fish gut, Zhao Dongting thought to himself, this should be forged from meteoric iron.I just don't know how its texture compares to modern alloys.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

And just when everyone's minds were attracted by fish intestines, Murong Chuan suddenly shouted from the hall.

Zhao Dongting turned his head to look, and saw a faint cold light shooting towards him, approaching him.

The coldness grew bigger and bigger in his pupils.

Li Yuanxiu was holding the fish intestines in both hands, and also tilted his head, his eyes froze for a moment, but there was no time to react.

"Hey!"

Very faint sound.
