Chapter 66: Thousand Machines Pavilion
The person who can enter the Thousand Machines Pavilion and swear to include it and mark the tower is called a "dead spy". As the name suggests, from the moment they swore allegiance to the King of Zhao and the people of the Zhao State, they were ready to die at any time.
How many of the Qianji Pavilion dead spies who were secretly distributed all over the world, Chu Jiangmian did not know. The only people who can really grasp this top secret are Zhao Wang Chulie and the master of Qianji Pavilion, Liezi Yufeng. Even if it is the Minister of State, he must not be heard.
But how many people Qianji Pavilion has sacrificed for the country over the years, as long as they have the opportunity to enter here, they are very clear. Because the mark on this tower is very clear and clear at a glance. And this is undoubtedly a surprising number.
Just like the young blue bird who entered the Thousand Machines Pavilion for the first time, when he really knew the usefulness of this iron tower, the shock in his heart was beyond measure. Everywhere in the palm of the black-clothed Liezi Yufeng's hand, the blue bird finally clearly understood the densely inlaid small bronze plaques on the iron tower. They are all exactly the same as the lone wolf's piece, and perhaps the only difference is the name on it.
"It turns out that the names carved on this tower are all people with the same identity as lone wolves. Those who are filled are dead. And those who are still empty, seem to be silently waiting for the owner of this name, and may not be able to return ...... when. ”
Bluebird thought silently in his heart. I felt a little scared for no reason, but there seemed to be a stirring feeling in my blood that I had never felt before. Once again, he thought of the lone wolf, the man who did not forget his mission before he died. Involuntarily clenched his fists.
Liezi Yufeng, who stayed in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, gently pressed his palm on the iron tower, and the bronze plaque engraved with the name of the lone wolf was deeply imprinted on the position where it should be. The three-story iron tower several feet high, those dense small signs have occupied nearly half of the tower.
Liezi opened the pot of wine brought by Chu Jiangmian with the wind, and his face was not shocked. After years of vicissitudes, it is difficult for the emotions in the world to move him anymore. Just every night, listening to the stories of the loyal souls on the tower has already smoothed out all his sorrows. He didn't drink this pot of wine, but silently sacrificed it under the tower.
"When you go home, just rest quietly, the wind and rain outside have nothing to do with you...... Prince Jiang Mian, since the deceased has been sent back, what else is the matter? ”
Liezi Yufeng, who had whispered for half a sentence, turned his head in the mellow aroma of the spirits and looked at Chu Jiangmian again. The other party retracted his gaze and pointed to the young man beside him.
"In addition to sending back the lone wolf's heroic spirit, I also want to send two living people to replenish the Thousand Machines Pavilion. Would you like to accept it? ”
"Prince Jiang Mian, when did you become interested in caring about this? This pot of wine is good...... As far as I know, it's better for you to tinker with these things. ”
Chu Jiangmian grinned in embarrassment. Even Liezi Yufeng, who never goes out easily in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, also knows the reputation of the world, and it seems that he has done a bit too much in the past few years!
"Master Liezi, Qianji Pavilion is too lonely. Don't you think? ”
"Hehe, since the prince said so, of course I have no reason to refuse. Is the person you want to send this teenager? ”
Liezi Yufeng glanced at the blue bird lightly, as if there was an invisible cold light, which made people tremble involuntarily. The young man hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze. I was already secretly surprised in my heart that this unattractive old man had such sharp eyes, as if he could kill people, it was really a little terrifying.
"His name is Blue Bird, and he has the ambition to fight for his country. I want to hand him over to Master Liezi, train him well, and he will definitely do a lot in the future! ”
"Tell me, what are his strengths? Qianji Pavilion does not accept useless people. ”
"I haven't asked him what he is good at, and I don't need to know."
"Then you still bring him casually?"
"The bronze medal of the lone wolf was handed over to me by the blue bird! I think that's enough. Don't you think so? ”
"Huh...... All right! There really isn't a need for any other reason. However, Prince Jiang Mian, didn't you say that you brought two people, who else but this young man? ”
What a character Liezi Yufeng is! He only took a look at it just now, and he already decided that this young man was a rare piece of talent and beauty. It is the good seedlings that Qianji Pavilion needs the most. But he didn't expect that Chu Jiangmian still had such a vision, which made him very pleased.
However, what did Chu Jiangmian mean when he said that he had brought two people? Not only did he have this question, but the blue bird also looked left and right, and there was no one else! When he was puzzled, he heard Chu Jiangmian laugh easily.
"What do you see, am I not human? Prince Ben is standing here! ”
Liezi Yufeng frowned, and his sleeves brushed the half pot of wine with care, and suddenly laughed.
"This wine is really good...... Did Prince Jiang Mian make this decision after thinking about it for three years? ”
"Of course not. I don't have the patience for that long, and deciding one thing is just the time to open a door! ”
"This is no ordinary door, have you really thought about it? Once the three words Chu Jiangmian are engraved on the iron tower, no matter what your identity is in the future, you must not tarnish the glory and sacredness condensed on this tower for any reason! ”
"What a big deal! Isn't it death at most? Master Liezi, hurry up and engrave my name...... Oh, and remember to engrave a little higher! ”
Liezi Yufeng looked at the two people in front of him silently, and his eyes flashed with light. After a few moments, he raised the flask and took a long sip. Then he praised loudly and handed it to Chu Jiangmian, although Chu Jiangmian still had injuries on his body, but in front of this iron tower that condensed the soul of loyalty, he did not shirk, and also drank it in a big gulp. Then when it was handed over to the blue bird, he heard the master of the Thousand Machines Pavilion suddenly ask again.
"So, young man, have you really decided to enter the Thousand Machines Pavilion?"
The enthusiastic bluebird took the wine jug without hesitation and took a big sip first. This smell of such mellow wine, drinking it was so strong in his mouth, that the young man who drank the strong wine for the first time choked and coughed loudly. When he raised his head with a flushed face, facing Chu Jiangmian and Liezi Yufeng, he only replied loudly and generously.
"Follow the prince, even if you are crushed, you will never give up!"
"Good! Since you have such backbone, I will make an exception to accept you. Within a year, I personally taught the skills in this Thousand Machines Pavilion. As for what you can achieve in the future, whether you will be alive or dead, it is up to you to make it all up to you. ”
Liezi Yufeng nodded with satisfaction. Seeing the look of encouragement in Chu Jiangmian's eyes, the blue bird hurriedly bowed to the ground and saluted. But he felt the breeze around him, and when he looked up, he saw that the body of this Thousand Machine Pavilion Lord was floating up like a goshawk, straight up several feet high. The palm of his hand was brilliant, and a short-bladed silver hook and iron cut had already engraved the names of both of them on the iron tower.
"Hopefully in my lifetime...... Your name, don't cover the bronze medal! ”
After seeing countless lives and deaths, Liezi Yufeng will no longer say any worldly blessings. And this sentence is his best blessing.
Not long after, Chu Jiangmian walked out of the Thousand Machines Pavilion alone. He left the boy bluebird and his name inside. That is, from now on, he can use the Thousand Machine Pavilion. But at the same time, a heavier responsibility has been shouldered.
"Prince Jiang Mian, from now on, you can command the power of the Thousand Machine Pavilion. This is my original promise to King Zhao. But don't forget that you're one of them...... At the moment of life and death, you should understand what is important! ”
The last words that Liezi Yufeng said to him still echoed in his ears. The door behind him closed again. This secret place is once again hidden among the thousands of households in Dragon City.
Chu Jiangmian rode his horse and headed in the direction of Nancheng. And the two war horses were waiting for him on the side of the street, and the passengers immediately seemed to be very energetic, it was Bai Ye and Murong leaving the city. After seeing him coming, two people followed him, one left and one right. The spring breeze was blowing without feeling cold, and Chu Jiangmian only felt that his hand holding the horsewhip was full of strength. The path that his father paved for him at the end of his life has no reason why he should not go on well. Moreover, we must not only go well, but also carry it forward, so as to live up to the deep expectations contained in that old face.
The next stop is the Nine Elements Mountain outside the southern city. At the city gate, a small group of dragoons had been waiting for him for a long time. After seeing him from afar, the captain at the head stepped forward to salute him. They were ordered to protect the prince and go to the Nine Elements Mountain to survey the terrain in advance in order to make final preparations for tomorrow's hunt.
The captain's name is Wu Sheng, although he is young, he is also a person who has been on the battlefield several times. Especially last year, he once followed King Zhao to participate in the operation to block the Hu people's raid. He, like many other soldiers, was the most loyal warrior under the command of King Zhao.
Wu Sheng was naturally very impressed by His Royal Highness the prince. There is no need to talk about the rumors that I have heard on a daily basis. only said that the confrontation with Hu Qi a year ago, in the final analysis, was caused by the prince. These people who are fighting in the field with iron and blood, although they will not say anything casually. But deep down in my heart, my evaluation of him will never be too good.
But the news he heard in the last few days made Wu Sheng's impression of Chu Jiangmian change greatly. It is said that this prince went to Zhongzhou instead of King Zhao and fulfilled his mission. Not only did he make an exception and be personally summoned by the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the face of a dangerous situation, he personally killed the ill-intentioned prince of Wei, returned thousands of miles to the north, and brought back the top-secret news of the "Five Kingdoms attacking Zhao" in time.
If all of this was really done by Chu Jiangmian, it would be impressive!
