Yipin Tang

Chapter 68
Ichiro Matsudaira took a long wooden box from the attendant and put his hands on his chest respectfully: "This is the sharpest ancient knife in our Fusang country. It is dedicated to His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor. Thank you for your generosity."

Li Shimin has fought countless battles in his life, and he also likes the Liangma Baodao very much. After signaling, a guard stepped forward to take the wooden box, opened it, and found a slender knife with a strange shape, about three feet long, and a slender blade. Curved, the scabbard is woven with ribbons interlaced and studded with two metal hoops.

After receiving the ancient knife, he pulled out the blade curiously, and suddenly a cold light flashed, the blade of the ancient knife was so bright that a figure could be clearly printed on it, Li Shimin couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!" The frightening coldness.

The strange thing is that the blade of the ancient knife is thin and thin. Although it looks extremely sharp, it makes people feel too thin. It seems that the blade will break if you apply a little force.

There was also a foreign country that presented a treasured sword to Li Shimin before. At this time, seeing the so-called ancient sword presented by Ichiro Matsudaira, he smiled and said: "If such a thin knife goes to the battlefield, it will probably be broken in one round. Haha, the sharpest thing in your Fusang country is A knife like this?"

This is already Chi Guoguo's ridicule, but Matsudaira Ichiro seemed to have no anger, bowed his body to the laughing envoy and said seriously: "This knife is indeed the sharpest ancient knife in our Fusang country, although it is not as good as With the sharp blade of Tang Dynasty, it is not a problem to cut gold and iron normally."

Ichiro Matsudaira's tone was flat, but everyone could hear the confidence and pride in his words. It was not as good as Tang's sharp sword, and the implication was that it was more than enough compared to the precious swords of foreign countries like them.

"Hmph, it's just a show, do you dare to compete with my Huihe scimitar!"

Matsudaira Ichiro turned around and saluted Li Shimin: "I beg His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to allow you to try the sword."

Seeing that Matsuhei Ichiro is so confident, Li Shimin became interested, and he also wanted to know whether this ancient knife is as powerful as Matsuhei Ichiro said, and said with a smile: "Since everyone is so curious, I will let someone try it and get back the scimitar. "

Immediately, a guard presented the scimitar presented by the Huihe envoy just now.

Naturally, Li Er didn't need to do it himself. Cheng Yaojin was most interested in this kind of thing and had long been eager to try it.

"Your Majesty, let me, Old Cheng, try the knife."

Li Er knew Cheng Yaojin best, and said with a smile, "Then let Zhijie and Jingde test their swords."

From this point, it can also be seen who is Li Er's closest person. When encountering such a thing, Li Er always thinks of Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde first. These two have the most straightforward personality and the most trusted by Li Er.

What Cheng Yaojin held was the ancient sword presented by Ichiro Matsudaira, and what Yuchi held was the scimitar presented by the envoy of Huihe. Judging from the appearance of the two swords, although the ancient sword was sharp and sharp, it was slender and thin and looked too delicate, while Yuchi The Huihe machete in his hand was ferocious and domineering, and at first glance it was much more powerful than the ancient sword.

The Huihe envoy also seemed to have confidence in his scimitar, and said with a smile, "If you accidentally damage your ancient knife, don't blame me."

Matsudaira Ichiro said indifferently: "The sword that is easily broken is a waste sword. It is disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to present a waste sword. If the ancient sword is broken, I will ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for guilt."

Li Er nodded and said with a smile: "You don't need to pay too much attention to trying the knife for fun." As for what was going on in his heart, no one knew.

After receiving Li Ershou, Cheng Yaojin waved the ancient knife in his hand, he was still a little unaccustomed to it, but felt that the knife was much heavier than expected, it seemed thin and thin, but the weight was not weaker than Datang's Zhongmo knife.

Yuchi was very familiar with the Huihe scimitar in his hand, he had used it a lot before, seeing Cheng Yaojin still dawdling, he urged: "Old Cheng, I'm coming!" After speaking, he swung the knife and slashed.

"Good job!" Cheng Yaojin excitedly stepped forward to meet the knife.

"bass!"

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde are both powerful men, sparks flew out when the blades collided, both of them took a step back, looking at the blades, they were all intact.

The Huihe envoy was surprised when he saw that the slender ancient knife could fight with the scimitar without damage. Matsudaira Ichiro still looked flat, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

When Cheng Yaojin swung the knife just now, he was worried that the blade was fragile, so he didn't dare to use all his strength. Seeing that the ancient knife was not damaged at all, his confidence suddenly increased, and he shouted: "Come again!"

"Bang! Boom! Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the two had confronted for three rounds, and when everyone was amazed, a strange voice suddenly sounded.

"Ding!"

A knife is broken!
The Huihe envoy's nervous heart relaxed, and he looked sideways at Matsudaira Ichiro and wanted to say a few words on the scene. After all, it is considered a good knife to fight so many times with the Huihe machete.

"The scimitar is broken!" Someone exclaimed.

The Huihe envoy suddenly turned his head when he heard the words, the ancient knife in Cheng Yaojin's hand was still glowing cold, the blade was so bright that there was not even a gap, but the scimitar in Yuchi Jingde's hand was only half left, and the front half was lying quietly on the ground.

"Impossible, impossible!" the Huihe envoy murmured in disbelief with a pale complexion.

The entire hall was silent, and everyone could hear the Huihe envoy's whispers clearly.

Ichiro Matsudaira smiled slightly, took a step forward and saluted Li Er: "Fortunately, the ancient sword is not a useless sword, otherwise Ichiro Matsudaira would have to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for seppuku."

As soon as this remark came out, the Huihe envoy was shocked and fell to his knees. This little man named Matsudaira Ichiro is too insidious. He is saying that the Huihe machete is a useless knife. It is disrespectful to offer a useless knife, and he is pretending It's fucking disgusting to say something like harakiri.

Although he was upset, it was a fact that the scimitar was cut off by the ancient knife, and the Huihe envoy could only plead guilty to Li Er tremblingly.

"God Khan atones, this... this..."

He also didn't know how to explain it, until now he couldn't believe that the Huihe scimitar would be cut off by that slender and thin ancient knife.

Li Er was also very surprised by this result, and waved his hand indifferently: "I said that the knife test is just for fun, so don't take it too seriously."

The Huihe envoy got up in disgrace, not as vigorous as before.

"The envoy of Fusang made a contribution by presenting a treasured sword. He rewarded him with thousands of guan and two hundred pieces of silk. He also set up a Fusang council hall in Chang'an, and gave Ichiro Matsudaira the envoy of Fusang, who took charge of the envoy's learning and exchange in the Tang Dynasty."

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for your kindness!" Matsudaira Ichiro was overjoyed, saying that the people of the Tang Dynasty were stupid and had a lot of money. Unexpectedly, such an ordinary ancient knife would be exchanged for so many rewards, and even the matter of arranging the envoys to the Tang Dynasty would be solved together. up.

Ichiro Matsudaira has always been polite and courteous, but many envoys from foreign countries do not like him. Everyone can understand what he did just now to deceive the envoys of Huihe, which is too insidious.

The relationship between the Khitan envoy and the Uighur envoy was relatively good, and his confidence in the Khitan Saber could not help but say: "Your Majesty Tian Khan, I, the Khitan Saber, also want to try the Fusang ancient sword."

Li Er smiled slightly: "The Fusang Gudao just tried it with the Huihe machete."

When Li Er said this, Li Er glanced at Matsudaira Ichiro. He felt that the Fusang Gudao had just fought against the Huihe Machete several times. It would be unfair to compete with the Khitan Zhanmadao at this time. Said: "I would like to test the sword for His Majesty the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."

Li Er clapped his hands and smiled when he heard the words: "In that case, take the Khitan Saber." He was also very curious about how beneficial the ancient Fusang knife was.

After the Khitan envoy, other envoys tried the saber, but none of them survived ten rounds under the Fusang ancient saber. At this moment, Li Er's face became serious.

After cutting off the Huan Dao of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, none of the envoys of the Fanbang Kingdom were willing to try the sword. Ichiro Matsudaira looked around and asked indifferently: "Is the ancient sword sharp?"
