No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 221 The Sword Embryo After Four Dynasties

The wind in the bamboo forest has stopped.

A sackclothed man with a new backpack stood by the window, and several people in the hut chatted with ease.

"On the fifteenth day of this month, the sword will come out, isn't it the day after tomorrow? Oh, but I really don't want to wait for a moment..."

Wei Shaoxuan took a sip of tea, looked to the west out of the window, with a pensive look on his face, and murmured:

"By the way, what does that sword furnace look like? Can it forge a tripod sword that is unparalleled in the world?

"Through the history, there are only a few existences. The rumors also involve some illusory luck, which is the source of disaster for all previous battles."

"Young Master Wei..."

Liu Zian's expression was a little confused:

"You should also know the temperament of that old gentleman. Before the sword was made, the old gentleman didn't like outsiders to disturb him very much, and he had a bad temper.

"Although I and my dead brother have been together for so long, but these years, every time I go to the sword furnace, I have to be cautious, choose the time carefully."

Liu Zian showed emotion, shook his head, turned serious and said:

"Besides, there were three chapters of the agreement..."

"Do not worry."

Wei Shaoxuan interrupted with a smile:
"My son understands the rules of the three chapters of the covenant, and before the sword is released, my son and foster father will not go to disturb it.

"When the fifteen swords are completed, a vision will appear in the sky, and my son will go to the door with my adoptive father to get the sword."

Liu Zian smiled and nodded.

Wei Shaoxuan looked at him intently, with a leisurely tone, and said with a smile:
"Besides, it's right under your nose, my adoptive father is here, what else could go wrong? Don't you think so, Patriarch Liu?"

Liu Zian smiled quite naturally, nodded quickly, looked at the smiling Wei Shaoxuan, and at the silent Qiu Shenji by the window.

Qiu Shenji folded his chest and stared at Liu Zian coldly.

Liu Zian responded with a smile and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

But secretly awe-inspiring.

With Qiu Shenji's attack just now, Liu Zian deeply felt the terrifying pressure of a top-rank Qi trainer.

The ninth and eighth ranks are for low-ranked Qi fighters.

The seventh and sixth ranks are for mid-rank Qi practitioners.

The fifth and fourth ranks are for top rank Qi practitioners.

Further up, it is called Tianpin, which no longer belongs to the scope of discussion, and is a legendary rank that has long been lost.

Just like the first-rank and second-rank official positions of Dazhou and Daqian, they are just fake honors, and not many officials can even get them during their lifetime.

In some ancient books, Tianpin Qi practitioners are called Shenzhou Tianren.

If it is said that the top-grade Qi practitioners in the present world are divine dragons who can see their heads but not their tails, and all of them are counted, then the gods of Shenzhou don't even have a "head"...

Speaking of which, even though there is only one rank between the weakest top-rank Qi trainer and the strongest middle-rank Qi trainer, the latter can't even break through the former's body-protecting true energy.

Unless using the tripod sword, directly ignore the true qi barrier of the qi trainer.

Just when Liu Zian was soaked under the shirt that Qiu Shenji was staring at, his back was chilly, and he was thinking wildly.

Wei Shaoxuan put down the teacup silently, leaned forward slightly, rolled up his sleeves, lifted the teapot of Donglin Temple's specialty Maojian tea with his right hand, and poured a cup of tea for Liu Zian himself:

"Then for the remaining two days, I will trouble Patriarch Liu to take care of the sword furnace."

Liu Zian's buttocks left the stool, with a flattered expression on his face, he held up the teacup that Wei Shaoxuan was pouring into with both hands, and nodded vigorously:

"Mr. Wei, what are you talking about? This is a matter between me and the Liu family, and I will definitely live up to Mr. Wei's high expectations."

Wei Shaoxuan suddenly said:

"Hey, it's a pity that your elder brother left early and didn't live to see the birth of the sword together.

"To be honest, my royal father admires your elder brother Liu Ziwen's conduct in the world. He once praised him as a hero who understands current affairs. He is a talented person who has stayed in Longcheng County, Jiangzhou for more than ten years. He should be used by my Prince Wei's residence. Let's serve the Holy One faithfully.

"It's a pity that your brother left so unexpectedly, it's really a pity..."

Wei Shaoxuan sighed and looked at Liu Zian's expression without blinking.

Hearing this, Liu Zian's eyes were reddish, he raised his hand and then put it down, hesitated for a while, but finally didn't wipe the corners of his eyes with his sleeve,

"The dead brother has been working hard for so many years, but in the end he was killed by that villain because he was too upright, how could he stop!"

The Second Young Master of the Liu family, who succeeded the head of the family, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his head to hold back the tears in his eyes, and his tone was still a little choked up:

"However, His Royal Highness King Wei and Mr. Wei, please rest assured that the deceased brother has always admired the demeanor of King Wei, understood and admired Wei's deeds, and often talked to our two younger brothers, remembering King Wei's instructions.

"Dun Dun's teachings are still in my ears, brother and brother, and forging swords, I, Liu Zian, represent the Liu family, and it is my duty."

Inside and outside the hut, Wei Shaoxuan, Qiu Shenji, and Boss Li silently looked at this young man in fine clothes with a full expression and a full face.

The three of them exchanged glances and remained silent for a while.

The words paused, Liu Zian's tone was firm, clutching his sleeves, and said faithfully:

"If I am not careful and have an accident, and are killed by that despicable villain, I still have my third disciple Lin, and I can still be loyal to the Wei family!"

Wei Shaoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't care about the words behind, but asked curiously:

"Patriarch Liu said that the despicable villain who killed your brother is..."

"Ouyang Lianghan!"

Liu Zian was upright and awe-inspiring, and asserted:

"If it's not this guy, who else could it be! If Mr. Wei doesn't believe it, he can go and investigate. The dead man assassin has received the favor of the disaster relief camp he built, as well as the details of what happened on the street that day..."

"No, that's the case."

Wei Shaoxuan nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

He took a sip of tea and suddenly said:
"Do you want me to avenge your brother?"

Paused, nodded and said:

"Hands up.

"You can get the back of the sword and use it to drink blood to sacrifice the sword. Taking advantage of the abnormal celestial phenomena and the chaos of the flood, it is not difficult to do something, and it happens to be on the way."

Wei Shaoxuan seemed to speak casually.

"This..." Liu Zian hesitated, as if in a dilemma.

"What, it's because the night is long and the dream is too much, before the sword is released, two days to kill people? It's not impossible, the foster father can do it for you.

"However, the reputation of the gentleman is indeed too high, and His Majesty must be merciful. However, he can arrange an honorable death in the line of duty..."

Liu Zian restrained his expression, seemed to have made a decision, shook his head and said:
"Mr. Wei, the revenge of killing a brother is not shared. There is no reason for others to do it for you. Mr. Wei and Mr. Qiu don't bother to take action. Let me down, there are already arrangements!

"Hmph, this Ouyang Lianghan not only despicably murdered my beloved brother, but also exploited the Liu family through the matter of Zhayiqu. During these days, I have been slanderous and obedient, and he has become ruthless, with an ugly face, and is extremely insulting! I really treat my Liu family No son?"

Liu Zian stared bitterly, gnashing his teeth:

"On the [-]th day, I will ruin his reputation and pay him back ten times!"

The raging anger that almost popped out of his eyes didn't seem to be fake.

"Patriarch Liu is quite forbearing."

Wei Shaoxuan smiled slightly, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"That's fine, Patriarch Liu, come."

Beside the window, Qiu Shenji tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Wei Shaoxuan with a calm expression.

Can't see any clues.

But Qiu Shenji knew that even if Liu Zi'an didn't take revenge, Wei Shaoxuan would suddenly attack and deal with him.

the reason is simple.

Slightly unsightly.

That's right, it's not pleasing to the eye, that's all.

Ouyang Lianghan lived next door to the "Su Mansion" before, so he should be quite close to Li Xian's family. It can be seen from the last time this son was forced to protect Li Xian's family in front of the female officer Miaozhen.

Undoubtedly, he was still recruited by the Su Mansion as an aide.

In the past two days, Qiu Shenji and Wei Shaoxuan visited the Su Mansion frequently, and they didn't see Li Bao'er very often. They were all teased by Li Xian and Li Dalang. I don't know if it was shyness or what, but Li Bao'er's reaction seemed Some liked to ignore the answer, but Wei Shaoxuan was not in a hurry, and occasionally chatted clichés from the maids of the Su residence.

Although Wei Shaoxuan never heard the gossip about Ouyang Lianghan getting too close to Li Baoer, or Ouyang Lianghan getting close to Li Baoer frequently.

Not at all.

Ouyang Lianghan doesn't seem to have any friendship with Li Bao'er.

but.

Ouyang Lianghan is not bad after all, he was born as a Jinshi, and he would be considered a young hero in Luoyang, Chang'an, not to mention that he is still in this "country place" in the corner of Jiangnan Road, and he has the status of a county magistrate. He is not yet married, so he has a lot of aura.

And Li Bao'er has a stunning appearance and a "falling in family fortune", which is endearing. She also lives in a boudoir and is young and young. It is the blooming season when girls are easy to miss spring and love.

The two are both talented and beautiful, and it is difficult for people not to think in the direction of secret love and concubine love. Well, in the novels of gifted scholars and beautiful ladies, this kind of dry fire, even a passing encounter, may be ignited .

Even if there is no evidence.

But Wei Shaoxuan was still a little uncomfortable, seeing Ouyang Rong was a bit unpleasant.

In addition, not long ago, he had made two unlucky marriage lottery with that unreliable presiding officer, so he was naturally in a bad mood...

But these, Wei Shaoxuan will not say it, after all, he is the son of the king of Wei, he is going to become a swordsman who is famous in the world, and he is a person who wants to do great things. How can he spend too much on these passers-by and ants? Kung fu, doesn't it seem that he is short-sighted and caressing?
So when Liu Zian proposed to hand over Ouyang Lianghan to him, Wei Shaoxuan didn't argue at all and remained calm.

Qiu Shenji noticed all these thoughtful palaces at a young age. Although they were still a little immature, they were heading in the right direction. This guest of Wei Wangfu showed a little appreciation.

Inside the cottage, it was quiet for a while.

At this time, Liu Zian suddenly said:

"However, next time I come here, besides reporting, I also need Mr. Wei's help."

"speak."

Liu Zian lowered his voice:
"Could you ask Boss Li to help and mobilize some manpower. I'm afraid something will happen on the [-]th day."

Wei Shaoxuan glanced at Liu Zian:
"That's right."

Afterwards, Wei Shaoxuan asked Liu Zian about some things, and after a while, the secret discussion ended.

The sickly face of the young man in brocade clothes showed joy, and he retreated with the Persian merchant, left the hut, and disappeared into the bamboo forest.

After the two walked away, there were only Wei Shaoxuan sitting at the coffee table drinking tea with his head bowed, and Qiu Shenji watching the scenery by the window.

"What does foster father think of Liu Zian?" Wei Shaoxuan asked suddenly.

"Thoughtful." Qiu Shenji said lightly.

"It's normal to have small thoughts." Wei Shaoxuan's expression remained the same, "I can't say anything about his elder brother, that's one of them..."

He turned his head, facing west towards the west bank of Butterfly Creek, and sighed slightly:
"But I don't really care about these things, as long as you don't think carefully where you shouldn't be, otherwise I will dig out his heart and see if he has such a big heart."

Qiu Shenji nodded: "It's good that Liu Lang knows to be careful."

"Father, this sword is finally coming out. Father has been preparing it for more than ten years..."

Wei Shaoxuan lowered his head and rubbed his face, then raised his head into a bright smile:
"Today's lottery belongs to bad luck, and it is quite appropriate to put it on this sword.

"Those who harm women are also... oh, those who work hard for women are not people in Luo Yi.

"Father, count the numbers, this tripod sword has gone through four dynasties since the sword embryo!
"Southern Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Great Qian, Great Zhou!

"After nearly a hundred years of ups and downs, the sword is finally about to be achieved, and the master is met. Is there anything more legendary than this? Isn't this the 'myth' that Qi practitioners in the world like to talk about?"

Qiu Shenji shook his head lightly:
"Maybe it's not the Four Dynasties."

"What do you mean?"

Wei Shaoxuan looked curious:
"I once looked through the documents in the secret library of the Wei Palace, and learned about some twists and turns. It is recorded that... at first, a hundred years ago, the royal family of the Southern Dynasty and the large army of the Northern Dynasty confronted each other, and the North and the South confronted each other.

"The imperial family of the Southern Dynasties knew that they were weak, so they didn't know where to find a new 'ding'. They also found the family of swordsmiths passed down from generation to generation in Longcheng—the Mei family of Longcheng. They used all the material resources of the southern country to open a furnace on the west bank of Butterfly Creek. , Casting the tripod sword.

"It's a pity that the Great Sui of the Northern Dynasties was faster, and he had exhausted all the strength of the Qi practitioners, and was the first to forge a tripod sword. This sword was named 'Emperor Wen' at the time, and it had not been renamed 'Emperor Wen' by the later Emperor Taizong. ...Finally, he went south with his iron cavalry, and with the might of a tripod sword... Southern Dynasties, perish.

"The mad emperor who was the marshal at the time found the embryo of this tripod sword in the fire on the west bank of Butterfly Creek.

"Later, Emperor Suifeng II, who had tasted the taste of 'Emperor Wen', ascended the throne and ordered the Mei family in Longcheng to continue casting the tripod sword. At that time, the north and the south had just been unified. .

"Following the mad emperor, in order to cast swords in the south, he mobilized resources from all over the world and cut through the Grand Canal, running through the north and south, and then used the Grand Canal to mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources from all over the world to Butterfly Creek, where they were thrown into the hot sword furnaces on the west bank. middle……

"Combined with all kinds of tyranny and natural disasters, the ending is of course self-evident. Follow the mad emperor to forge swords frantically, put all his eggs in one basket, and want to use this tripod sword together with 'Emperor Wen' to completely suppress the righteous people in the world. I don't know if it is really fate. The tripod sword has not yet been completed, but the heroes have joined together, and Da Sui also lost his destiny.

"Afterwards, Emperor Taizongwen, who was a great leader, mounted his horse and set out to pacify the world. After the founding of the country, he ordered the descendants of the Li family to serve for the rest of the dynasty, and they were not allowed to spend their lives and money to forge the tripod sword...

"However, that sword embryo that had gone through the four dynasties went round and round, and was hidden by the descendants of the Mei family who were lucky enough to escape the massacre of the Mad Emperor. A small sword shop called Guyue.

"In the end, Liu Ziwen of the Liu family knew the secret of the tripod sword from nowhere, and cleverly managed to take over the Gu Yue sword shop, and destroyed the Mei family who insisted not to open the furnace to cast the tripod sword, and thus obtained a piece of sword that was about to take shape. Sword embryo.

"And this Liu Ziwen actually found a swordsmith who inherited the mantle of the Mei family and turned against the Mei family, so he had a bargaining chip and approached our Wei family to cooperate and mobilize massive resources under the guise of the Gu Yue sword shop , secretly opened the furnace to cast the tripod sword...

"Ten years, Yifu, even with our Wei Shi blood transfusion, it will take more than ten years. One can imagine how crazy it was to forge swords with the Mad Emperor. It was really all the power of the world."

"Father, this is not what has gone through four dynasties."

Wei Shaoxuan paused, took a sip of tea leisurely, and joked:
"We are now in Dazhou, which is the new dynasty, and we are not very familiar with what Dazhou does, two families."

Qiu Shenji still shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said softly:
"Ancestors of the Qiu family used to be generals who followed the court, and it happened that they were under the command of the Mad Emperor back then, ranging from military meritorious officers to chariot generals... so some secrets have been passed down to descendants.

"Back then, the crazy emperor had two sword embryos in his hand, and one of them was stolen when he opened a furnace to cast swords on the west bank of Butterfly Creek, so the sword embryo that is about to become now may not be left by the royal family of the Southern Dynasty. ...

"It's a muddled account."

Wei Shaoxuan was taken aback.

　"Sui" is used in this book, not a typo.In history, it should have been "Sui" at first, but later Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed "Sui" to "Sui" and created a character.Also, ahem, Xiao Rong is writing a light novel, damn it!
