Chapter Twenty-Three: Trickery (I)

Listening to Zhu Xiaobao's words, Wu Yue was slightly stunned, and then she remembered that it seemed that Zhu Xiaobao had made some three requests. But now Wu Yue is immersed in the joy of getting a good knife, and he doesn't take it seriously!

"This knife is just ugly! And it seems to be a little heavier! Wu Yue said with some regret.

"I'm not quite built yet! It will also be tempered repeatedly, and some impurities will be removed at that time, and the final weight should be thirty-two catties! This is the weight of what Mr. Wu said! Zhu Xiaobao looked at Wu Yue, and then explained!

"Really, that's great! I just want this weight to be the best! Wu Yue said with great joy when she heard this.

"Give me the knife?" Zhu Xiaobao stretched out his hand and said, he plans to beat it for a few more days, and the quality of this knife will be improved by one percent at that time!

"What? This is my knife! Unexpectedly, Wu Yue immediately held the knife in her arms, reluctant to hand it over to Zhu Xiaobao!

"I know, I can't use such a heavy knife! But I'm not done yet! At least ten more days! The blade still needs to be quenched again, and it should be sharper and of higher quality. The whole blade has to be polished and polished, don't you think it's ugly? Although the condition is still a little worse by then, it will definitely be much better than now! "Zhu Xiaobao was also amused by Wu Yue's appearance! However, remembering the scene when she was forcibly used by Wu Yue as Ma Shi, she still felt very uncomfortable, and she still needed to tease her well!

"Hmmm! Okay, I'll just watch you build it here, and when you're done, I'll take it back, that's okay, right? When Wu Yue heard that the quality could be improved again, she couldn't help but be moved! But she is very reluctant to leave this knife now! And she felt the need to point out on the side, this little fat man's craftsmanship was really bad!

"No! I see you uncomfortable, numb hands and feet, flustered, and the wounds on your body are still faintly painful! You'd better stay away from me! Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and said very resolutely.

"Whew! You and I want to see you! I'm looking at my knife! Wu Yue immediately responded in annoyance, the original hostility towards Zhu Xiaobao has been eliminated, and now it has risen again!

"That's fine! You're just waiting outside! Let me be clear, I can't talk while I'm working! And it doesn't matter what you eat here! Bring your own dry food! Zhu Xiaobao rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Yue slyly!

"Humph! What's the big deal! As long as you build me my treasure sword, the rest is up to you! "Wu Yue didn't take Zhu Xiaobao seriously at all! He was now thinking about what his knife would eventually become!

Ying Xiuxiu saw the two of them looking at each other, standing aside and not daring to interject, her heart was also depressed, her gun was cut off by Wu Yue's knife, and now it has become a burning stick!

Fortunately, it's afternoon, and Wu Yue came for lunch, so she doesn't care, and she can go back to dinner with a knife in the evening! Although Wu Yue still remembers that bracken tofu soup, now her mind is on this knife!

Zhu Xiaobao re-tied his apron, and really started forging and quenching again, and Ying Xiuxiu also began to pull the bellows silently! Wu Yue stared at the red-hot knife, and kept shouting: "Be careful, this hammer is missed, oops, will you do it?" ”

"Get out of here!" Zhu Xiaobao finally couldn't help but be angry, he didn't expect it to be so annoying to be targeted by a woman!

"That's what it was! I've seen Master Huang build weapons, and every hammer is very accurate, and the strength is balanced, you see that your blade is different in width and narrowness! Like a dog gnawing! Wu Yue didn't do anything and shouted weakly.

"Can the knife he built cut through the weapons of the Seven Ranks? Besides, didn't I say it, I'm not listening to you when you're next to me! Zhu Xiaobao retorted disdainfully.

"I'm not here, you're building like a dog! I didn't even scream, are you still impatient? Wu Yue shouted even more angrily.

"No more! Take this dog-like knife and fuck me off! Xiuxiu, call it a day, let's get ready to cook! "Zhu Xiaobao threw the knife to Wu Yue, today is the end of work!

"Humph! Don't dry pull down! This guard is just in time to go back and practice swordsmanship! Wu Yue also said strongly, took the knife, turned around and left! She really wants to get used to this knife as soon as possible, and she hasn't practiced her knife skills properly for a long time!

When cooking with Ying Xiuxiu, Ying Xiuxiu asked a little puzzled: "Brother Xiaobao, why are you always fighting with Sister Wu Yue?" Actually, she is a very good person, what she just said is right, your strength is still a little worse! ”

"Humph! I just can't see her always putting on a high face in front of me, you forget, she insisted on me being a horse stone for her in front of so many people! I can't get my face back, huh? "Zhu Xiaobao was very angry when he thought of it!

"Oh? That's it! That's nothing, shouldn't we be the next people? Don't say it's you, it's just that Wu Lijia is still a flat body, and when the princess was young, she also knelt to be a horse stone for the princess, and she didn't care at all! This kind of thing is very common! Ying Xiuxiu seemed to be a little surprised and said.

"If you were to kneel down too, would you?" Zhu Xiaobao asked a little incomprehensibly.

"What is there to be willing or not, this is the duty of being a slave! I'm also a slave like you, in fact, as long as you follow the princess loyally, you will be no different from the princess, and even better than ordinary people......" Ying Xiuxiu said as a matter of course, she is indeed a slave, but because of her own better conditions, she was selected to be a female guard, and her heart is already very satisfied!

"Enough! Don't mention me as a slave, let me tell you, I'll get rid of this slave status in less than three years! I won't be a slave to others! Zhu Xiaobao shouted angrily, daring to be a slave for a long time, and he has become servile. If so, Zhu Xiaobao would prefer to be a slave owner! But he didn't dare to say it!

"Be quiet, don't talk nonsense, or the princess will think you want to run away! Besides, if you want to get rid of slavery, you ...... I'm afraid it's impossible......" Ying Xiuxiu hurriedly whispered, Zhu Xiaobao's words were completely out of the duty of a minion! In fact, there were many slaves in the Great Xia Kingdom who escaped, and most of them were captured and executed, or killed in the process of escaping! Some of those who escaped by luck eventually became robbers and bandits without exception, the most famous is the big thief Ao Yang, and the female bandit Ye Qinghong!

"Alright, alright! It's so long-winded! Burn these two dishes, and the others are not burned, and there is no appetite! Zhu Xiaobao was depressed and shouted impatiently! After a hasty dinner, I went back to my room to sleep, leaving Ying Xiuxiu in a daze, not knowing what I said wrong? Isn't it good to be a subordinate in the Nineteenth Princess's Mansion?

……

In the courtyard outside the nineteenth princess's study, Wu Yue was practicing with Chief Wu, and Chief Wu deliberately picked a single knife, and the grade was not bad! is accompanying Wu Yue to dismantle the move. There are already two broken knives on the ground! Mr. Wu is a bit of a rat trap now, and he doesn't dare to resist Wu Yue, Wu Yue's knife is too sharp!

With a sharp weapon, Wu Yue's kung fu has also been brought into full play, and now he is forcing Mr. Wu to retreat again and again, and the last one is not careful, this knife is still cut off by Wu Yue!

"Father! You're letting me, aren't you? Wu Yue hurriedly ran forward and asked a little shyly.

"Hahahaha! I want you, but how can I have this opportunity! It's just a pity that these knives should be pretty good weapons! Manager Wu said with a good smile, although three knives were cut off, but Wu Yue's knife was definitely worth thousands of such knives.

"Wu Yue! This time you don't have to worry anymore! That high-speed iron flower knife is definitely not comparable to the one in your hand! The nineteenth princess also smiled knowingly, her chief of guard has a good weapon, which is also good news for her!

And the potential behind this knife is definitely a big boost for the Nineteenth Princess! A knife is nothing, but if it is a hundred, a thousand such sharp weapons, how much will the combat effectiveness increase? This is very clear to the nineteenth princess!

"Yue'er! This knife is not finished yet, why did you take it out? "Chief Wu is a great expert, and at a glance, he knows that this knife has not yet completed the final process!

"I don't want that little fat man to complete the final process, can you let Master Huang complete the final process? The little fat man's craftsmanship is really bad, saying that he still loses his temper at me, if it weren't for my good temper, you would have been polite! Wu Yue pursed her lips and snorted very dissatisfied.

"No! Absolutely not, even if this knife is built, it can only be said that it was purchased from outside with a lot of money, and it must not be let Master Huang know that our Nineteenth Princess's Mansion built it by itself, you have to remember this clearly! Manager Wu immediately said solemnly, he knew something about Wu Yue and Zhu Xiaobao, but Manager Wu couldn't help it, these two people were like natural enemies, and they would fight as soon as they met! He was helpless about this, not to mention that he didn't think that Wu Yue had done anything wrong at first, but now it seems that Zhu Xiaobao is gradually taking the initiative!

"Wu Yue, let's hand over the knife to Xiaobao to finish! Although the quality is a little worse, it is indeed a good knife! What's more, Xiaobao didn't say that the quality can be further improved! I'm really looking forward to this knife reaching the ninth grade! Xia Zhen'er also smiled gently, although her tone was very soft, but Wu Yue couldn't disobey it! Chief Wu also nodded deeply on the side!

"But his craftsmanship is not good! If you don't listen to me, you dare to be fierce to me! Could it be that I, a guard chief, still want a minion to bow his head? Wu Yue exclaimed very aggrievedly.

"Wu Yue! You're so presumptuous! You forgot what the princess said, in this mansion, no one is allowed to mention Xiaobao's slave status! Don't treat him as an ordinary subordinate! Chief Wu suddenly shouted loudly on the side.

"Yes! …… I know! Wu Yue was so frightened by Manager Wu that she quickly lowered her head and whispered, and secretly looked at the nineteenth princess.

"Wu Yue, this concept must be completely changed! He is a person who is much more important than Master Huang, and he must be our person! The nineteenth princess also said very solemnly, and then the nineteenth princess took Wu Yue's arm and whispered as before: "Actually, you can ...... like this"
