Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing slowly raised the halberd up. To his surprise, the halberd looked fine and weighed only fifty or sixty catties, but it was very heavy to hold, at least ten catties.

According to the legend, Lu Bu's Fangtian painted halberd weighed 120 catties, but this double-sided crescent halberd was only 2000 catties. Maybe it wasn't Lu Bu's Fangtian painted halberd, but if it wasn't for Lu Bu's Fangtian painted halberd, how could it be worth [-] taels of gold.

Moreover, this halberd is not ordinary at first glance. It is made of the highest quality iron, and the steel is fine and dense, which makes the long pole thinner, but it can still remain heavy. It is not a kind of fusion splicing, but it is cast in a special mold.

The whole halberd was blue-red, and both the tip and the crescent blade were extremely sharp. Indeed, Liu Jing had never seen a better weapon than this long halberd, even Gan Ning's double halberds were far inferior.

"How do you feel, son?"

Liu Jing nodded and sighed: "It is indeed a top-quality long halberd, never seen before!"

Tao Sheng smiled and said: "This Fangtian painted halberd is two feet one foot long and weighs 81 catties. It was originally a weapon of Wenhou Lu Bu, so it is also called Wenhou's Zhanjianghalberd."

"How could it be Lu Bu's weapon?"

In Liu Jing's impression, since the red rabbit horse has returned to Cao Cao, then Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd should also be acquired by Cao Cao. How could it be spread? Could it be a Xibei product?

Tao Sheng explained with a smile: "This is indeed Lu Bu's painted halberd. Maybe you don't know. There are two painted halberds of Lu Bu, both made by the same craftsman. They are called Yin and Yang double halberds. In the battle at Hulao Pass, Marquis Lu Wen used this one. When he arrived in Xuzhou, Lu Bu put it away and replaced it with a male halberd, which weighs 92 catties and is one foot longer than this one, and it is now in the hands of Cao Cao."

Liu Jing pondered for a while, then asked again: "How did the Patriarch know that it is Lu Bu's real halberd, not a copy?"

"Since you must know, I will say clearly that this halberd was actually bought from Chen Su, the son of Dongcheng prefect Chen Deng. Chen Deng and my father had an old relationship. He died of illness last year. His father went to the funeral. I dared to keep Lu Bu's halberd, and I was in urgent need of money, so I sold it to my father. Based on the friendship between our two families, this halberd will never be fake.

And afterwards we also found the descendants of the famous craftsman who built this long halberd. He confirmed that this halberd was made by his father, and there were two made in total at that time. "

Speaking of this, Tao Sheng's eyes were full of smiles, "How about it, accept it!"

Liu Jing caressed this long halberd lightly, whether it was Lv Bu's halberd or not, it was a rare weapon in the world, representing the highest level of casting in this era.

It's a pity that it weighs 81 catties, which is twice as heavy as his [-] catties spear. He can't use this weapon for the time being, but maybe he can use it in the future.

Since it was Lu Bu's painting halberd, and the Tao family sincerely gave it to him, how could Liu Jing not want it?A smile spread across his face, he put down the halberd, and bowed to salute, "Thank you Patriarch for your kindness, Liu Jing accepted it."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Liu Jing originally thought that if he got Fang Tian's painted halberd, he could carry it back to his yard, but he didn't expect that Tao Sheng would drag him back to Tao Lie's yard.

Only then did he realize that the gift of weapons was just an episode, and Tao Lie's words were not finished.

Liu Jing was a little puzzled. Could it be that the Tao family had some other purpose in donating weapons?

The lights in the room were brighter, Tao Lie changed clothes, and his smile was more friendly than before, "Young Master, you still like that long halberd!"

"I like it very much, thank you old Patriarch for giving me the halberd."

"Hey! It should be, the young master is very kind to the Tao family, and the Tao family is very grateful. A long halberd is far from being able to compare with the young master's great kindness to the Tao family, but this is just a little thought from the Tao family."

"The owner is too polite."

For some reason, Liu Jing always felt uneasy. She helped the Tao family because of Tao Zhan. It is impossible for Tao Li not to know. Why did the Tao family not mention Tao Zhan at all?

Just as he was thinking, Tao Lie gave him another meaningful look, and said with a smile, "Master, I know Jiu Niang very well!"

Liu Jing's heart skipped a beat, finally came, this is Tao Lie testing himself, Liu Jing bowed without hesitation and said: "Liu Jing has loved Jiu Niang for a long time, and is willing to marry Jiu Niang as his wife, begging the old Patriarch to fulfill her !"

The smile on Tao Lie's face became kind, he's still a young man!For the sake of feelings, he is desperate and does not consider the impact on his future at all.

However, Tao Lie already knew Liu Jing's help to the Tao family in Zhang Yun's case, and he had a very good impression of Liu Jing. More importantly, he could see that Jiu Niang liked him very much, otherwise he would not have taken him with him. Just because of this, Tao Lie also wanted Liu Jing to be his grandson-in-law.

It's just that he has too many worries, and he has to talk to Liu Jing frankly about some things.

"Mr. Jing, emotionally speaking, I am very willing to betroth Jiuniang to you, but your status is special, and I have to consider many things. First of all, whether the state shepherd agrees? With all due respect, the state shepherd will definitely not I agree with you to marry a daughter of the Tao family, but he wants you to marry a daughter of the Cai family."

Liu Jing was silent, of course he knew very well that Liu Biao would never agree to marry a daughter of the Tao family, even if Liu Hu married a daughter of the Tao family, he would not agree, let alone himself.

"I have considered this point. I will not bow to my uncle when it comes to marriage. I still have to make my own decisions. Maybe he will be very unhappy, but in the end he will accept the facts."

"Okay! Even if you can convince Zhou Mu, do you consider the fate of the Tao family?"

Liu Jing was taken aback, he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, Tao Lie sighed and said: "If the Tao family and Liu Zhoumu get married, not only Huang Zu will not let us, but Sun Quan will not let us go, so this evening Mr. Cong begged I firmly disagree with marrying Jiuniang as a concubine, and that's the reason."

After a while, Liu Jing hesitated and asked: "I understand the difficulties of the Tao family, but I don't understand what the old Patriarch means. Is the old Patriarch rejecting my marriage proposal?"

Tao Lie shook his head, "I clearly rejected Mr. Cong's marriage proposal, but you and Jiuniang are in love with each other, how can I refuse, but if I promise you, the Tao family will be destroyed again, Mr. Jing, what can you do?" Is there a way?"

Liu Jing felt that the Tao family was actually rejecting him tactfully, but how could he willingly give up on Tao Zhan? He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "This matter can be delayed for a while."

Tao Lie sighed in his heart, he was tactfully rejecting Liu Jing, telling him that the Tao family could not marry Tao Zhan to him, but Liu Jing refused to give up, which made Tao Lie feel very embarrassed.

But he also likes Liu Jing. If Liu Jing is not Liu Biao's nephew, he will agree without hesitation, but Liu Jing is Liu Biao's nephew. Although Liu Jing is good, but for the sake of the family, he has no choice but to give up. Liu Jing must be reminded again.

"The young master owes the Tao family a great favor. With this kindness, I should repay the young master and make you and Jiuniang happy, but the Tao family does have difficulties. Unless Jingzhou and Jiangdong reconcile, the Tao family can neither marry Jiangdong nor marry Jiangdong." I hope you will understand the connection with Jingzhou."

Liu Jing was silent, and only then did he understand that the Tao family intended Fang Tian's painted halberd for him, that is to use Fang Tian's painted halberd to repay him. As for Tao Zhan, he should forget about it.

Liu Jing's complexion became extremely ugly, he got up and said: "I understand, since the Tao family refuses to marry a daughter, then I will not force it like Huang Yong, but I don't want Fang Tian's painting of a halberd. Lu, thank you old Patriarch for your kindness, Liu Jing bids farewell!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Tao Lie was in a hurry, and kept shouting: "Young Master Jing, please wait a moment!"

Liu Jing stopped in his tracks and said coldly without looking back: "Is there anything else the old Patriarch wants to do?"

Tao Lie sighed in his heart, this young master, the Tao family, could not afford to offend him, so he had to use a pleading tone: "Master Jing, please believe me, the Tao family is sincere in their gratitude to the young master, and only begs the young master to give the Tao family Two years."

"How do you say that?" Liu Jing turned around slowly, looked at Tao Lie and asked.

"I can assure you that within two years, the Tao family will not accept anyone's marriage proposal to Jiuniang. Please give the Tao family two years to resolve the crisis. After two years, the Tao family will definitely say the same to you. .”

"so be it!"

Liu Jing nodded slowly, "Two years later, I will propose to the Tao family again!"

He left the room and walked away, Liu Jing's voice came from the courtyard, "Fang Tian painted a halberd as Tao's dowry!"

Tao Lie was a little stunned, he had seen Liu Jing's tough side.

At this time, Tao Sheng walked in slowly, "Father, how is it?"

Tao Lie shook his head, "I didn't say I'm dead, let's talk about it in two years! Maybe the situation will change then."

"But what if the situation doesn't change or gets worse after two years?" Tao Sheng asked worriedly.

Tao Lie smiled wryly, "I don't know either, let's talk about it later!"

The father and son were silent for a moment, and Tao Sheng asked again: "Then do you want to send Zhan'er to Jiangdong?"

"Of course!"

Tao Lie's face sank, "She is the root cause of this incident. If Liu Biao insists on her marrying Liu Cong to cover up the truth about Liu Cong's injury, what should our Tao family do? Besides, keep her in Chaisang, in case she How did the Tao family explain it to Jiang Dong when they decided to follow Liu Jing?"

Tao Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was very possible that his father had thought deeply about the problem.

"Boy, let's arrange the boat, and we will leave overnight tonight."

Tao Lie was quite satisfied with his son's decisiveness, and he reminded: "In addition, you must not tell her about Liu Jing's proposal to the Tao family."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Liu Jing returned to his yard sullenly, in a really bad mood. He always thought that Liu Biao was the biggest obstacle to his marriage with Tao Zhan, but he didn't expect that the Tao family was the biggest obstacle.

Of course, he also understands the difficulties of the Tao family. The Tao family has wandered between Sun Quan and Liu Biao for more than ten years. disaster.

But understanding is understanding, whether it is the Tao family's tactful refusal or the final concession, it makes him feel uncomfortable.

"Young Master Jing, what happened?" Xu Shu asked with concern when he noticed his abnormality.

"It's nothing serious, it's just about the Second Young Master's matter, and he might become useless. I don't know how to explain it to my uncle?"

Liu Jing also didn't want to tell Xu Shu about his failed courtship, after all, it was his private matter.

Xu Shu pondered for a while, "I still have something to say to the young master just now."

"If there is anything else, you can continue."

Xu Shu worried: "I'm worried that Cai Yi will hide the truth and cover up the Huang family."

"You mean..." Liu Jing understood what Xu Shu meant.

Xu Shu nodded, "Cai Yi will definitely imply that the state shepherd, or instruct Mr. Cong, to falsely accuse you of sending someone to pretend to be Huang Yong and murder Mr. Cong. If Mrs. Cai is beside you, it will be difficult to explain the matter clearly." .”

"Sure enough!"

Liu Jing took a deep breath. Given the relationship between the Cai and Huang families, this possibility is definitely possible, and the possibility is extremely high.

At this time, Xu Shu sighed slightly again: "The key is to get the evidence. If Huang Yong can be captured and sent to Xiangyang, the Cai family's framing will naturally be solved, and we can fight against the Cai family."

At this time, Liu Jing also laughed, "Does Yuan Zhi know that Huang Yong's head is in my hands?"

"What?" Xu Shu's eyes widened suddenly.
