Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 293 Precious Sword
Compared to the robes made of luxurious materials, two ebony Tang knives lay quietly on the plain brocade in the box, looking ordinary.

But for battlefield veterans like Liu Bei and Guan Yu, such a knife shape that was completely different from Han Huan's first sword made their eyes shine.

Under Li Ding's warm invitation, the two of them each took one of the handles. Just as they were about to pull it out and take a closer look, a boy servant came quickly and reported: "General Zuo, Captain Xu from Sikong Mansion is here to visit."

Liu Bei's heart was shocked, the joy on his face froze, and he had thousands of bad guesses in his heart. He didn't know what happened to Xu Chu, a close confidant of Cao Cao.

But what kind of person is he? He just lost his composure for a moment, and then adjusted himself in the next breath and said with a smile: "Please!"

Before he finished speaking, someone said in a low voice: "No need, Chu came in by himself."

Xu Chu put his hand on his sword and strode in, surrounded by soldiers, together with a handsome warrior.

Entering the hall, Xu Chu's dazzling eyes under his thick eyebrows first scanned around the people in the room.

Like a ferocious hound, coldly looking for something suspicious.

It was undoubtedly very rude for him to rush in without waiting for notification.

Normally, Liu Bei would have to be angry, but now he just gritted his teeth and held down Guan Yu's tense arm with one hand.

"I wonder what the purpose of Lieutenant Xu's visit is?"

Xu Chu's eyes swept around Ding Li's body. When it came to appearance and intimidation, the only one who could compare with him was Zhang Fei.

Being looked at like a vicious dog by such a big man with waist and waist, Li Ding's scalp was numb, but he still bowed his hands and saluted.

Xu Chu squinted his eyes and glanced at the boxes in the hall: "The envoy from Western Liaoning has come to visit General Zuo's house. What do you want to do?"

Li Ding bowed his head and said: "Back to Captain Xu, the daughter of the late General Gongsun ordered me to bring a new year's gift to General Zuo."

Xu Chu didn't answer after hearing this, but just glanced around again, and suddenly smiled honestly: "Haha, that's it. Chu is rude and ignorant of etiquette. Please forgive Mr. Xuande."

After saying that, the man looked like a reckless man and brushed off the incident of his trespassing.

Only his rough laughter echoed in the hall.

Guan Yu on the side hated to say goodbye. He was so aggrieved by living under someone else's roof.

Liu Bei felt this way in his heart, but he didn't have the willpower to be willful, so he twitched the corner of his mouth.

The warrior who accompanied Xu Chu said at this time: "Captain Xu has always been reckless. Please ask Liu Shijun and Brother Yun not to argue with him."

Xu Chu echoed his words, apologized again and said, "Sikong ordered me to invite you."

What else could Liu Bei say, so he just accepted: "I wonder what Sikong has to do?"

Xu Chu rubbed the messy beard on his chin and said, "Sikong is hosting a banquet and invites General Zuo to come over and have a drink."

Then he paused and saw the knives in the hands of Liu Bei and Guan Yu: "What is in General Zuo's hand?"

He clearly saw it was a knife, but he pretended to be stupid and asked blankly.

Liu Bei suppressed his anger and said, "This is a new year's gift from the daughter of General Gongsun."

"Oh? It was sent from Liaoxi? Sikong liked the square inkstone that Liaoxi sent last time. He never left it." Xu Chu opened his eyes wide. "I wonder what kind of sword it is. Can Chu be lucky enough to see it?"

The warrior on the side, who was trying his best to ease the atmosphere, also responded: "Liao also wants to see something."

Liu Bei took a breath and twitched the corners of his mouth: "You can do anything you want."

After saying that, he drew his sword out of its sheath.

Seeing that the long sword looked ordinary and his interest was spoiled, he casually pulled it out.

But they didn't expect that with a clanging sound, the watery sword light made everyone's eyes dazzle.

The twisted flame pattern, which is of great ornamental value, flows along the lines of Tang Hengdao, like a burning flame, casting a bright light and shadow on the beam.

Guan Yu also took out the long knife in his hand. The shape of the knife was the same, but the blade of the knife had ice cracks like those forged by steel balls.

Even Xu Chu, who was interested in investigating, forgot his purpose for a moment and opened his eyes wide: "What kind of sword is this?" He asked Liu Bei and Guan Yu naturally couldn't get an answer.

Several people looked at Ding Li, the envoy from Western Liaoning, at the same time.

At the same time, Ding Li was stared at by several fierce generals who were famous in the world. A small amount of sweat broke out on his forehead. After forcing himself to steady himself, he explained: "This is made of meteorite iron from the west of Liaoning. It is called Hengdao."

"Meteorite outside the sky?"

"Horizontal knife?"

Which warrior can refuse a good sword? Everyone looked at Li Ding with burning eyes.

Li Ding explained everything one by one.

Xu Chu stared at it eagerly for a long time. Even though Guan Yu wanted to study it now, he snorted coldly and sheathed the sword without showing it to him.

Xu Chu then looked back and looked at the remaining boxes.

I knew he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't take a look today, and there was indeed nothing shameful in the box.

Official Ding stepped forward and opened the boxes one by one.

After the long knife, there are some special fur materials from western Liaoning.

Considering that Liu Bei might not have much money, but could not directly send money, Gongsun Yan spent a lot of money to get some gold hairpin rings and jewelry, and gave them to the female family members under the pretense of giving them as gifts.

They are all appropriate family gifts.

"There are also two horses produced in western Liaoning." Li Ding held the last box and said, "The last thing was given to General Guan alone."

Guan Yu didn't know why. When he took a look, his slightly narrowed eyes widened instantly.

Inside the box is a scroll of "Spring and Autumn" written clearly on waterproof lambskin.

No matter how much you deny it, people are realistic.

After several heart-wrenching gifts, Guan Yu's favorability for Gongsun Yan instantly surged to the limit.

He couldn't put it down and took it, his face flushed.

Xu Chu took one last look, and then said: "This lady who prepared the gift is really thoughtful."

After saying that, he turned to look at Liu Bei: "Oh, I wasted a lot of time. Sikong is going to scold me. I wonder if General Zuo will leave now? So that Sikong won't have to wait too long."

Even though I have been waiting for a long time, it is not because of you.

Liu Bei cursed secretly in his heart: "I was cleaning wild boars by the well platform earlier, and I'm all dirty. It's rude to see you like this. I'll go change my clothes later."

Guan Yu held the book and said with an expression: "Brother."

But Liu Bei smiled and shook his head and said, "Sikong invites me to have a drink. There is no need for Yun Chang to follow."

Then he looked at the robe sent by Gongsun Yan, with a look of joy on his face: "Just right, he is wearing the robe sent by my niece."

After a while, Liu Bei put on the robe that Gongsun Yan claimed to have made by himself and came out. Liu Bei stood in the hall and turned around.

The deliberately sullen look made Xu Chu's eyes retreat slightly.

I have long heard that General Zuo was not good at studying when he was young and loved dogs and horses. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

After some fussing, Liu Bei explained to Li Ding again and asked him to stay in the mansion for one night, and then left with Xu Chu and others.

After they left, no one was in the hall. Seeing Guan Yu worried, Li Ding sighed softly.

"I never thought that Xudu would be so dangerous. You two should make plans early."
