Xu Luo pushed open the door and saw two people in the living room with happy smiles on their faces.

"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Not long ago, I thought I would see a frowning little guy, but now I'm finally relieved, a little blow won't really hurt you." Huangfu said with a smile.

"Well, I'm also relieved to see the third brother's appearance." Sui Yan said from the side.

"Okay, I actually have nothing to do. I've been practicing at home recently..." Seeing the disbelief on the faces of the two brothers, Xu Luo curled her lips: "If you don't believe me, ask Lianyi?"

"Uh... this, the servant girl is not very clear..." Lianyi replied cautiously from the side.

"Haha...hahahahaha!" Huangfu Chongzhi and Sui Yan laughed indistinctly, obviously thinking that Xu Luo was making them happy.

Xu Luo looked helpless, looked at Lianyi and muttered, "Who the hell are you? Why do you feel like a little traitor..."

Seeing that Xu Luo didn't seem to be too much affected by the outside rumors, Huangfu Chongzhi and Sui Yan also showed happy smiles on their faces.

Huangfu Chongzhi looked at Xu Luo and said, "Third brother, don't think about the matter of the Star Festival in the future. People in the imperial capital are like this. No matter what it is, the rumors will gradually fade after a while. We came here today to prepare for it." Take you out to relax."

Xu Luo smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't take those things to heart, you don't have to worry about me." Then, Xu Luo asked, "Where are the second and fourth brothers?"

Sui Yan pouted at the side, and said, "Do you still need to ask this question? The second brother is at home forging iron and sharpening swords, and the fourth brother... the fourth brother must be busy smelling fragrances and knowing women!"

Puchi!

Lianyi finally couldn't hold it back, laughed out loud, and hurriedly excused to prepare tea and ran away, otherwise she was afraid of laughing so hard that her stomach hurts, obviously to Sui Yan's second brother who only knows how to forge iron and sharpen swords, and the fourth brother who knows women by smelling fragrance It is also very understanding.

The corners of Xu Luo's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of the concentration of the second brother when he was sharpening the iron and sharpening the sword, and the fourth brother smelling the fragrance and knowing women.

"They actually wanted to come to see you a long time ago, but they were stopped by me."

Seeing Lianyi leave, Huangfu sighed softly and looked at Xu Luo: "Third brother, do you dare to say that this matter really has no effect on you?"

Sui Yan also put away the joke, and said softly: "Brother, since it's all over, why are you still talking about him?"

Huangfu Chongzhi shook his head slightly. Although he was not liked since he was a child, he was born in the royal family after all, and his vision and knowledge are more than a step higher than ordinary people.

"The reason why we didn't come here immediately is because we don't want to put too much pressure on you, and we want you to calm down for a while before we talk."

Huangfu said to him, and then smiled: "But it looks good, you are not crushed by these pressures. No matter what time comes, we brothers will always stand by your side."

"Brother had a big fight with some princes because of your matter..."

"Fifth, what are you talking about!"

Huangfu Chongzhi interrupted Sui Yan's words, his tone changed from gentle to a little harsh, and then he smiled and said to Xu Luo: "It's just a few words of quarrel, it's okay."

"Brother..." Xu Luo was so moved that he was speechless.

He knew Huangfu Chongzhi's status in the royal family, and he hardly interacted with any princes on weekdays. Now, for himself, he had an affair with other princes, and he must have endured tremendous pressure.

Huangfu glared at Sui Yan, feeling that he was talkative, and changed the subject: "I just argued with the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince, but you, and the Second and Fourth Princes, you have been talking a lot these days. Are you going to fight with someone?"

Sui Yan smiled sheepishly, and said: "Discussion, it's just a competition, and I didn't suffer any disadvantages, but the fourth brother seemed to have been beaten black in the eye a few days ago, and he probably won't be able to smell women in the past few days."

"That's because he is not good at learning. You see, the second child is grinding iron and sharpening swords every day, but his cultivation level has never fallen. I guess his strength is not much worse than yours now. If you want to work on those institutions all day long, I am afraid that one day he will be able to do so." He will be overtaken by the second child!" Huangfu said rushingly.

"I can't wait!" Sui Yan rolled his eyes and said, "At that time, let him protect me."

"Sui Xiaoshi, you are hopeless." Huangfu mumbled to him, then got up, took Xu Luo's arm and said, "Let's go, call the second and fourth son, let's go to Fengyue Tower to drink!"

Although the two were vague, Xu Luo still understood what his brothers were doing these days. He let his eldest brother Huangfu Chongzhi pull him, but secretly swore in his heart: Brothers are protecting me today. One day, I will protect you too!

……

In an inconspicuous small courtyard on the outskirts of the imperial capital, there were constant sounds of hammering iron.

when!

when!

The sound is stable and even.

The neighbors around have long been used to this kind of sound. If there is no sound one day, they will still feel empty in their hearts and feel that there is something missing.

This is a slum area, but the people living in this small courtyard are not poor.

Xu Jie, the eldest son of the Champion Hou's Mansion, nicknamed 'Blacksmith'.

The champion Hou Xu Zhongtian, the general of Zhen Guo and the Duke of Zhen Guo Xu Ji are one south and one north, known as "two Xus in the north and south, double walls of the empire". Although they are marquises, Xu Zhongtian's military achievements are not less than Xu Ji's .

Xu Zhongtian has been guarding the southern border of the empire all year round and rarely goes home. He has no objection to his only son's fondness for forging iron and sharpening swords.

In Xu Zhongtian's words: "My hero is a hero, forging iron and sharpening swords is also a kind of cultivation. I believe he will be better than me in the future!"

Therefore, Xu Jie is considered the happiest in Xu Luo's small circle besides Xu Luo.

Apart from him, Sui Yan's hobbies were strongly opposed by his family, Huangfu Chongzhi was ignored by others, and as for the fourth brother Liu Feng... that guy's hobbies, if anyone dared to support them, it would be hell.

Huangfu Chongzhi and the others came to the gate of the small courtyard, without knocking at all, just pushed open the gate and walked in, passed through the front hall, and when they reached the backyard, they saw a strong man naked to the waist, with a huge iron wheel in his right hand. The hammer was repeatedly beating the red-hot iron rod in his left hand,

when!

when!

The sound was deafening.

The red-hot iron rod, after continuous beating, could already see the shape of the sword.

The man didn't seem to be surprised by the arrival of the few people, and while beating, he said: "Here it is, wait a moment, I'll beat this out of the rough."

As he said that, he saw Xu Luo out of the corner of his eye, and let out a little hey, and then threw the iron that was about to form a rough embryo into the pool beside him.

There was a chirping sound from the pool, and a cloud of white gas rose.

"Third brother, you're here!" Xu Jie's face showed joy.

"Second brother, I said, don't you treat them differently? I'll come with eldest brother, and you will finish the rough embryos, and stop immediately when you see third brother?" Sui Yan said from the side.

"Sui Xiaoshi, are you dissatisfied? If you don't agree, let's fight!" Xu Jie lit up his horned dragon-like muscles, and then smiled at Sui Yan: "I'm already a seventh-level swordsman!"

"What's wrong with the seventh level? I'm still at the eighth level!" Sui Yan looked disdainful: "Don't think that a woman with a few muscles will like you, you should put on your clothes quickly and put away your magical powers."

"Hey, you're just jealous." Xu Jie laughed aloud, then put on his clothes, came in front of a few people, saw what Xu Luogang was about to say, then patted his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, my I just polished a dagger a few days ago, I think you will like it."

With that said, he turned around and went into the house again.

"Second brother, where did you promise me the long sword?" Sui Yan shouted at Xu Jie's back.

"Wait!" Xu Jie's muffled voice came from the room.

"Tsk... so biased!" Sui Yan muttered.

Afterwards, Xu Jie took out a short sword more than one foot long from the room, and several blue gemstones were inlaid on the shark skin scabbard.

These few gems are not for decoration, but out-and-out water attribute gems, used to warm up the dagger in the scabbard!

Not to mention the short sword, the value of these few gems alone is enough to make ordinary people feel astonished.

Handing the short sword to Xu Luo casually: "Here, take a look, do you like it?"

Xu Jie may seem rough, but he has a very careful heart. Even considering that the third brother's physique is not good, if it were someone else, he would definitely throw the dagger at him.

Xu Luo took the dagger, and it felt very light in the hand. It didn't look like a weapon made of steel at all, but more like...a wooden sword!

"So light!" Xu Luo exclaimed in surprise.

"Hey, take it out and have a look. I have been looking for the materials for this short sword for several years before I can get enough. Alas, the materials are still too scarce. Otherwise, it will be better to make a long sword!" Xu Jie said with a face With a somewhat regretful expression on his face.

Although there are also epee swords, most of the swords still follow a light route, but no matter how light a sword is forged from steel, it is impossible to be as light as the one in Xu Luo's hand, as if it were nothing.

Xu Luo gently drew out the dagger, and a burst of cold air followed. The blue blade of the sword, under the sunlight, almost shook people's eyes.

hiss!

Huangfu Chongzhi and Sui Yan at the side gasped, their eyes almost straightened.

"This...is this aqua gold?" Huangfu Chongzhi, who was obsessed with refining medicine, had absolutely good knowledge, his mouth twitched slightly, his gaze was pulled out of the dagger in Xu Luo's hand with difficulty, and he looked at Xu Jie and said: "Second brother, are you trying to kill third child?"

Sui Yan, who was drooling over the dagger in Xu Luo's hand, also raised his head, looked at Xu Jie seriously and said, "Second Brother, it's really your fault this time, if you give this kind of weapon to Second Brother, it will really kill him of!"

"Hahaha, it scares you. You all thought of my problem, but I can't think of it?" Xu Jie laughed happily, and then said to Xu Luo: "Third brother, press the button on the hilt of the sword. Try gems."

Xu Luo was also a little stunned. The value of this sword is too great. Even if all the assets of the entire Champion Hou's Mansion are added together, they may not be able to buy the aquamarine gold that casts this short sword. I really don't know. Where did my second brother get this thing.

Listening to Xu Jie's words, Xu Luo subconsciously pressed the orange gemstone in the middle of the gauntlet above the hilt.

A swipe!

All the blue light on the blade disappeared, and then it was covered with a layer of grayish white, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary short sword!

Xu Luo and the others were dumbfounded.
