I am the carpenter king

Chapter 18 The Sword

After pondering for a while, Ye Wen refused, because he doesn't know martial arts, although holding such a weapon is useful to him, it is of no great use.Frowning slightly, Ye Xiang said in a deep voice: "What am I going to do with those things, I mean the magic weapon, so do you know where the hidden treasure in the palace is?"

"Return to Your Highness, the imperial prison is the place where royal things are stored." Although he didn't know why the master asked this suddenly, Li Jinzhong replied immediately.For him, the etiquette, righteousness, honesty, and civil and military differences in this world are not important, what matters is that his master is happy.

Ye Xiang didn't hesitate, and quickly asked Li Jinzhong to lead the way to the imperial prison.

The Imperial Prison is a place dedicated to making utensils for the royal family. It is in charge of making wooden utensils such as screens and beds for palace relocation, as well as play utensils such as red sandalwood, ivory, and ebony.In the warehouse of the imperial prison, treasures left by the emperors of the past dynasties, antiques, porcelain, and various rare and valuable things can be found here.

The imperial prison located in the northwest corner of the palace is a row of houses with earth and stone structures, which is one of the few buildings in the entire Forbidden City.Red stone walls, black gates, colored glazed tiles, everything is similar to other palaces.But this place is one of the most closely guarded places in the palace, almost the same as Emperor Taichang's bedroom, even tighter than the prince's palace.

The eunuch in charge of the imperial prison is called Chen Hua. He is over 50 years old, but he is well maintained and doesn't look very big.Although he didn't know what the prince was doing here, he didn't dare to neglect.After all, there are rumors in the palace that His Majesty's health seems to be failing, and the crown prince is likely to ascend the throne soon, so it is very important to please the new master.Now that he has such an opportunity, he will naturally not let it go, and even flatters Li Jinzhong who is beside the prince.

Ignoring the small movements of the two, Ye Xiang walked slowly into the warehouse of the imperial prison, looked at the neat wooden frame, and nodded slightly.During this period of time in the big house, Ye Xiang gradually got used to it, and had a strong immunity to some rare treasures.

Coming to a shelf deep in the room, looking at the things in front of him, Ye Xiang was a little excited.Countless long boxes were placed on the shelves, some of which were made of fine rosewood, some of which were inlaid with gold and jade, and some were even made of golden nanmu.Gently stroking a box, turned to Chen Hua and said, "Are all the swords stored in the palace here?"

Chen Hua gave a salute respectfully, and said with a smile: "Return to Your Highness, yes, they are all here. Most of these are left by Taizu and Chengzu, and there has been no addition to the palace for many years. Since Your Highness wants weapons , I think these swords should be suitable, after all, the sword is a gentleman among weapons, and it is very suitable for your highness."

Gently nodding his head, Ye Xiang glanced at Chen Hua differently, it seems that those who can achieve a certain position are not simple roles.Ye Xiang smiled calmly, and said, "That's right, you've got a heart."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. Those of us who are slaves, as long as the master is happy, we are blessed." Chen Hua said with a smile on his face at this time.Although he is the palm print eunuch of the imperial prison at this time, but it may not be the case tomorrow.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that there is one emperor and one courtier. This rule is more obvious among eunuchs. Every prince has his own personal eunuch.Basically, they have been by their side since childhood, and they will naturally be promoted vigorously after ascending the throne.Firstly, these people are easy to use, and secondly, these people are people who follow me after all, and they have worked hard without credit. Naturally, I will not forget them when I develop.

So for these people, being able to please the master is naturally extremely important.

"You go out first! I'll take a look for myself." Ye Xiang waved to the two of them, and Ye Xiang signaled them to leave first.

"Your servant will leave." After the two saluted, they retreated slowly.

When the two reached the door, Li Jinzhong looked at Chen Hua with a very unfriendly expression, and said indifferently: "Eunuch Chen is really good at handling things, His Royal Highness has praised you!"

Chen Hua heard the dissatisfaction in Li Jinzhong's words, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, he smiled flatteringly, and said: "Look at what you said, from now on, everyone in the palace will have to look at your eyes, and look at Li Jinzhong's eyes." Please take care of me from now on, father-in-law." As he spoke, he put a green jade finger wrench in Li Jinzhong's hand, which looked extraordinary at first glance.

"What Eunuch Chen said, our family is just the servants of His Highness the Crown Prince, and we just do our best to run errands for the Lord." Seeing Chen Hua's kindness, Li Jinzhong also smiled and expressed his kindness.After all, Li Jinzhong at this time is just the eunuch next to the prince, while Chen Hua is the eunuch with the palm seal of the imperial eunuch, as long as he expresses goodwill, the two of them will have a tacit understanding.

Ignoring the eunuchs outside, Ye Xiang focused all his attention on the box in front of him, and gently opened the box in front of him. Inside lay a sword quietly. unusual.But Ye Xiang knows that it is definitely not a common product to be placed here, and it is the collection of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. I believe it is definitely a treasure.

Picking up the sword lightly, the hand was very heavy, lightly grasping the hilt, and pulling hard, but no matter how hard Ye Xiang tried, the sword just wouldn't come out of the sheath.This made him a little annoyed. Could it be that this broken sword still has to choose an owner?Suddenly, I remembered a book I read before. All ancient swords had broken springs.Holding the sword in front of his eyes, Ye Xiang searched carefully on the sword, and finally the hard work paid off, and he found a golden button under the hilt.Heaving a sigh of relief, Ye Xiang pressed the golden button with his fingers, pondered for a while, and then Ye Xiang pushed hard.

Following this press, a flash of cold light suddenly flashed, like a lightning strike in the dark room, and the sword seemed to be bounced out by something.Half of the sword body was exposed outside, and the other half was still inside the scabbard. Although Ye Xiang was taken aback, Ye Xiang was ecstatic in his heart. It turned out that there really is such a magic weapon in the world.

Gently holding the hilt of the sword, pulled the treasure outward, and as the blade rubbed against the scabbard, the crisp sword sound rang in Ye Xiang's ears.Looking at the sword that was as bright as autumn water, he was very excited. It really is a good thing, and it is definitely cutting iron like mud, blowing hair and breaking hair.Subconsciously looking around, Ye Xiang couldn't find anything to test the sword, and finally gritted his teeth and pulled a hair off his head.Although grinning in pain, Ye Xiang couldn't wait to put his hair on the blade, and after blowing lightly, his hair split into two sections and gently fell to the ground.

Ye Xiang picked up the sword excitedly, and saw seven silver light spots distributed on the sword, which looked like the Big Dipper in the sky, Ye Xiang knew that the name of this sword should be the Seven Star Sword.
