The nineteenth princess returned from the palace and brought back a piece of news. The city lord of Xiyuan City on the southwestern border of the Great Xia Kingdom has been killed! It was while patrolling the defense area that he was attacked and was shot by an iron arrow, and he died after he returned! The current temporary city lord is the person of the seventh princess Xia Anrong.

The situation in Xiyuan City is more complicated, its southwest direction is a large area of forests and swamps, and the edge of the forest is Yueling Mountain, and the people of the Yueling clan are the masters of that area!

However, the rear of Xiyuan City is bordered by the fiefdoms of the Second Highness King Ming and the Third Highness King Wen, and is also responsible for providing forage for the armies of the two Highnesses! Therefore, the position of this city lord is very embarrassing, and the two highnesses dare not offend.

Originally, several highnesses wanted to arrange their own people to be the city lords, but the consequences were not very good, no one could sit for two years, and they were either killed or died of a strange illness! So in the end, no one dared to come here to be the lord of the city!

In the end, Xia Zhongkun, who was personally appointed by the emperor, was sitting in Xiyuan City, but he didn't expect to be peaceful for three years, and now he has been killed again! You must know that Xia Zhongkun is the emperor's nephew, and his martial arts are not weak, he is impartial, and he is also a capable talent!

As a last resort, the emperor had no choice but to let Zhao Meng, the general of the Seventh Princess, guard Xiyuan City first! So now everyone's eyes are focused on the seventh princess Xia Anrong!

"Uncle Wu! Do you think we have a chance in this matter? The nineteenth princess asked a little hesitantly.

"The situation in Xiyuan City is too complicated, we can't be shocked at all when we go there! Besides, if you really ask for an order, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of your Highnesses! Counterproductive! Chief Wu said with a frown.

Chief Wu knew that what the nineteenth princess wanted most was her fiefdom, but if she wanted to have her own fief, she had to rely on her ability to conquer the city. Either that, or they can hold the side for a long time! In the end, it is possible to be given a fief by the emperor.

"But how could it be our turn somewhere else? The slightly better places are occupied by a few royal brothers, alas! If only I could have so many talents like Seventh Sister! The nineteenth princess said a little deflated.

"Don't worry! The Seventh Princess is also unwilling to take care of this matter, let alone divide her troops to defend Xiyuan City, her power is in the southeast coastal area! This time, Zhao Meng was also a brave and unscrupulous person, but his strength was superior, and it was obvious that he was temporarily guarding for a while! So we'll have to wait and see what happens! "After all, Mr. Wu is still old and serious, and he thinks about it for the long term!

"Oh well! But I'm a little anxious! The nineteenth princess nodded, the big thing she had been planning was to get a fief for herself. But I also know that this kind of thing needs to be planned carefully! So this matter is in a hurry! Moreover, it has been a month since Xia Zhongkun was killed, and the communication in this era is quite backward!

Wu Yue couldn't bear it after waiting for five or six days, and there were many things that also made her full of curiosity, not to mention anything else, but the soap in the hands of those female guards made her very interested, but when she heard that it was made by Zhu Xiaobao, Wu Yue couldn't resist her curiosity and didn't look at it! But every time I smell the jasmine fragrance on the faces of Wu Lijia and others, I can't help but want to try it! But I can't save face!

Fortunately, back to Manager Wu, Wu Yue unexpectedly also got a piece of soap, although she was very disdainful, but she couldn't wait to take it and run back! Isn't that what Zhu Xiaobao gave to Chief Wu! Manager Wu looked at Wu Yue, who was running fast, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile! This daughter is too simple! I can't hide the first bit of caution!

Wu Yue returned to her room, and after carefully using the soap, the surprise in her heart was of course very huge! And I became more and more curious about Zhu Xiaobao in my heart, what kind of ceiling fan and toilet was! Also connect with a water truck!

Well! I'm going to see how the sword is made, that's what I should know, I can't say I found it myself! Wu Yue used a very good reason to encourage herself to go to Zhu Xiaobao again! After all, the day of the tournament is less than twenty days away!

Wu Yue was fully armed and neatly dressed, very heroic, and there was a knife in her waist again, which was still a six-grade knife, which was slightly worse than her original one, but it could only be used improvised! Originally, Wu Yue wanted to bring two female guards to increase some deterrence, but as soon as she thought of the ugly knife, Wu Yue immediately gave up this idea, it is better to see it yourself first, otherwise it would be a shame for others to see that the broken knife was for herself!

When they came to Zhu Xiaobao's residence, those craftsmen had already gone back, because they were almost finished, and the remaining living Zhu Xiaobao could only do it himself, because the rest of the things could only be processed while trying!

From afar, I saw Ying Xiuxiu pulling the bellows hard, and the blacksmith dared to love Li no longer came, and now it was Zhu Xiaobao who was building this knife! The sound of intermittent forging made Wu Yue's heart uneasy, what kind of knife does this knife look like now? It's better than the last time, right?

Seeing Ying Xiuxiu wearing a short coat and sweating with her two snow-white arms pulling the bellows, Wu Yue's heart was also a little moved, at least this little fat man was really building weapons for himself!

"Xiuxiu! What about that bastard? Wu Yue said to Xiuxiu first. In fact, the sound of striking iron inside doesn't need such nonsense at all! But Wu Yue still spoke first, that is, to let Zhu Xiaobao know that he was coming!

"Sister Wu Yue! Xiaobao is in there! It's been a serious few days, and I haven't rested much! Ying Xiuxiu saw Wu Yue, she was still a little restrained, and the most important thing was that she was wearing too cool now, and the contrast with Wu Yue's full armament was too strong!

"Hmmm! Then you're busy! Wu Yue originally wanted to say a few words about Ying Xiuxiu, but thinking that Ying Xiuxiu was sweating so much now that she was not busy for herself, she had to remind in a low voice: "Xiuxiu!" Be careful what you wear, don't take advantage of that little bastard! ”

“…… Be! Ying Xiuxiu nodded with a flushed face.

"Why are you here again?" Zhu Xiaobao wiped the sweat from his forehead, then picked up the cup and took a big sip of tea, this is the best quality green tea brought back by Ji Zhihui! But Zhu Xiaobao really doesn't feel very good! Ji Zhichen's level needs to be improved!

"Humph! Do you think I'm willing to come? I'm here to see my knife! If it weren't for this, who would want to see you! Where's my knife? Wu Yue snorted disdainfully.

"Huh! All right! Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue, who was fully armed, and thought to himself that if he was dressed like this on such a hot day, he was not afraid of the heat?

But Zhu Xiaobao didn't talk nonsense, and directly pulled out a knife from a sink next to him, it turned out that it had just been put in and quenched, and now it has cooled down! But the appearance of this knife is really not flattering, that is, it is better than the last time, at least it looks like a knife! However, the back of the knife is crooked, and the blade is uneven, and the level of construction is quite poor at a glance!

"This ...... This is the knife you built for me? Or is it so ugly? "Wu Yue is about to cry, how embarrassed is this knife to take out!

"Huh? That's right! Let me tell you, a good knife is not in the shape, but in the material and processing techniques! I built it the way the Japanese samurai sword was made! Definitely the most advanced way to build! Zhu Xiaobao said unashamedly, and at the same time waved the knife in his hand with two hands, because this knife weighed more than thirty pounds, and he couldn't wave it with one hand!

However, although this sword is ugly, the method of building it is really according to the method of making a katana! In fact, it is the steel filling method, and the '100 steelmaking' technology is used in this period, which is to remove impurities and absorb carbon content through forging little by little through thousands of tempering, and finally transform into steel! This is very time-consuming and labor-intensive!

The similar 'steel filling method' adopted by Zhu Xiaobao is to add a layer of pig iron to two layers of wrought iron, and through high-temperature forging, the pig iron and wrought iron are fused together, and the two materials are soft and hard, with moderate carbon content, which is made into steel. And in the process of fusion, it is basically folded and forged, because after folding and forging, the blade will form countless layers, which can enhance the power of the knife! However, Zhu Xiaobao has also folded it six times, because it is too energy-consuming, which is already quite good! Isn't it just to defeat the high-speed rail flower!

Seeing Zhu Xiaobao struggling with this knife, Wu Yue couldn't help but feel a little funny, but as the blade slashed, a knife aura made Wu Yue a little surprised, this is the situation that only an absolutely good knife can appear!

Wu Yue snatched the knife from Zhu Xiaobao's hand, feeling a little heavy, but it was completely acceptable! Wu Yue jumped into the courtyard and said to Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu! Take your weapons and practice with me! ”

"Yes!" Ying Xiuxiu hurriedly stood up, after all, she was a female guard, so she immediately took out her weapon, and then stood opposite Wu Yue!

Ying Xiuxiu's weapon is a spear! The head and tail of the gun are made of iron, and the middle part is made of immersion wood! The two of them also often practice together, and they are very familiar with each other, although Wu Yue's kung fu is much higher than Ying Xiuxiu's, it will still take some time to defeat Ying Xiuxiu!

But this time Wu Yue broke very directly with a fierce knife, Ying Xiuxiu flicked the tip of the gun, but he didn't expect the iron tip of this gun to be cut off by a knife! This made Wu Yue a little surprised, he didn't do his best! Ying Xiuxiu's weapons aren't so bad!

"Use my knife! Cut me with all your might! Wu Yue threw the knife she was carrying to Ying Xiuxiu, and then shouted.

"Yes!" Although Ying Xiuxiu is a little difficult to use, she can also make a powerful knife!

"Click!"

Wu Yue slashed at the ugly knife in his hand, but he didn't expect to cut off the knife in Ying Xiuxiu's hand easily! Wu Yue was stunned for a moment, the knife used by Ying Xiuxiu was similar to the knife that was cut off by Gao Tiehua last time, but he didn't expect it to be cut off! And it seems to be sharper than the treasure knife of the high iron flower! Looking at the blade of this knife, there is a slight gap, and it can basically be said that there is no damage!

"Sister Wu Yue! Why are you so good? Ying Xiuxiu also asked in surprise, she had the impression that Wu Yue had never been so sharp, and she had never tried this knife! So two weapons were cut off at once, which surprised Ying Xiuxiu a little!

"Yikes! It's really a treasure knife! Wu Yue suddenly couldn't put it down in her hand and watched it repeatedly!

"Hee-hee! What do I say, a good knife is not in the shape! The bun has meat, not on the pleats! How about it, Wu Guard, the craftsmanship under him is not perfect, but he has also created a good knife! Right? Zhu Xiaobao was even more excited, he couldn't imagine that this knife could exert such a powerful power in Wu Yue's hands!

"Hmmm! It's a good knife, but it's too ugly! Wu Yue glanced at Zhu Xiaobao, and now she looks at Zhu Xiaobao much more pleasing to the eye!

"Hey, hey! It's because it's ugly that you can confuse your opponent, you think, if Gao Tiehua sees this knife, she will definitely be disdainful, so you take the opportunity to look at her head with a knife, which can be regarded as completing my first condition! Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and smiled, in his opinion, his great revenge was about to be avenged!
