Qin Li received the holy decree, how dare he delay, turned over and got up from the bed, and went to forge the knife without saying a word, it took three days and three nights to make the cold-forged knife, and then he dragged his tired body, spent a full day, made the equipment, and waited until everything was assembled, and personally sent it to the Changxin Palace.

As soon as he entered the Changxin Palace, Qin Li knelt on the ground and confessed: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid ask you for your guilt, although this knife has been forged, it will take too long, I don't know if Your Majesty can wait in a hurry, please punish you." ”

As soon as he came in, the first thing Liu Xie saw was his red and bloodshot eyes, as well as eye bags as wide as two fingers, and he didn't have to think about it to know how he had survived in the past few days.

"Hurry up, how can you be guilty, I see that you still have merit!" Liu Xie said and smiled, and Liu Jin helped on the side: "Okay boy, you get up, Your Majesty said that you are not guilty, but you are not." ”

"Yes."

Qin Li kowtowed and thanked him, before he got up.

Liu Xie waved his hand and asked him to step forward: "Take a look at the knife you forged, I'm looking forward to it." ”

"No."

Qin Li turned around and took a sandalwood long box from the person behind him and presented it to him: "Your Majesty, look, the finished product is in it. ”

"Open."

This kind of thing, except for Liu Xie himself, only Liu Jin is qualified to do it, but not just anyone can grasp the sword in front of the emperor.

The wooden box was opened, and a pearl fish skin ring knife with gold carving pattern was lying quietly in it, Liu Xie took out the knife, admired it repeatedly, and was amazed.

The finished product is many times better than I expected, and even in terms of beauty alone, this knife is definitely a collector's level work of art.

"Not bad, not bad!"

As he spoke, Liu Xie faded the scabbard, the unique glow of cold-forged steel flickered and flowed, the knife was sharp, and the blade was implied, which was the tool for cutting gold and breaking jade recorded in ancient books!

"It's a good thing!" Looking at the treasure knife, Liu Xie's eyes shone brightly, and he was even more greedy and reluctant: "Qin Li go to Qin Li, you are really, after making this knife so perfect, I am really a little reluctant." ”

"Huh?"

Qin Li didn't understand what he meant, and was about to wonder, Liu Xie had already shook his head and put the knife back: "You did a good job, I am satisfied with this knife, but counting the equipment, how much is this knife worth?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Li calculated: "Back to Your Majesty, the cost of this knife is worth more than 30,000 yuan." ”

"What if you don't have equipment, or if you don't need such extravagant equipment?" Liu Xie asked again.

Qin Li thought for a moment and stretched out a finger: "Your Majesty, as you said, this knife only needs about one thousand to four thousand yuan." ”

"Good!"

Liu Xie settled in his heart, this figure can still be bearable, although it is still more expensive than the standard weapons installed in the army, but since he needs elite soldiers and strong generals, some money must be spent.

"Liu Jin, reward."

"No."

As soon as the emperor made a move, he knew if there was one, and as soon as he gave an order, Liu Jin hugged a bag of five baht coins that he had prepared earlier: "No, take it, this is a reward from Your Majesty, don't you thank you?" ”

"Slave and maid, thank you, Your Majesty Longen!"

Liu Xie nodded and smiled: "Okay, you go down." ”

After sending Qin Li away, Liu Xie began to explain the task to Liu Jin again: "Boy, wait for you to find a time, make an appointment with Cao Pi tonight, and then tell him to prepare a little more wine and food, I will not get drunk with him tonight." ”

“…… Your Majesty, are you alright? ”

Liu Jin looked at him incomprehensibly: "Do you want to find him for dinner and drink?" And this knife, you weren't going to give it to him, were you? ”

As he spoke, Liu Jin's gaze fell on the wooden box.

Liu Xie smiled and looked at him meaningfully: "Isn't it okay?" Or are you kid going to teach me how to do things? I seem to be talking a little more nonsense lately. ”

"It's not Your Majesty, the slave just can't figure it out, he treats you like that, you still ...... Don't fight, don't fight! Slave and maid, can't you go now? ”

didn't want to listen to his nonsense, Liu Xie raised his hand, pretending to fight, Liu Jin ran out in a hurry, his appearance is really funny!

In the evening, Cao Pi was invited, and not empty-handed, he also brought jade wine from the Western Regions, which was a good thing that was rare even in the imperial palace.

In the Changxin Palace, the two of them pushed the cups and changed the lamps and started the mask banquet.

However, on the other hand, there was a different scene in the school office, when Liu Jin came to invite guests, Cao Zhi was also there, and this bad boy deliberately did not avoid it, and everything he said made him hear it clearly.

This time Cao Pi went to the banquet, Cao Zhi couldn't sit still!

Big brother, what is he going to do? Isn't it too uneasy to take me seriously, Chiguoguo wooed the emperor to stand up for himself?

No way!

If the emperor really follows his wishes, he is afraid that after his father returns, Lao Tzu will not be able to do anything in the school office. I've got to find an ally!

Compared with other ministers in the court, Cao Zhi is more willing to join forces with his relatives, and the first thing he can think of directly helping him is the second Cao Zhang.

He is a martial artist, and he is a good soldier in war, but in the struggle for power, he is shallow in his scheming and relies on arrogance, which is the primary condition for his own convenience.

I didn't cooperate with him before, because I was worried that this guy would be crazy and difficult to restrain him, but now I can't care so much!

So after Cao Pi left, he sent people to the forbidden army camp and invited Cao Zhang.

A quarter of an hour later, Cao Zhi was practicing calligraphy, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the door. Aren't you a little too much, send someone to invite your second brother to come, but you don't come to greet you, come here, let me give you a punch to relieve your anger! ”

Here it comes!

Putting down the brush, Cao Zhi patted his face, opened the door of the study with a smile, and was just about to speak, when a fist the size of a bowl came to him and directly scolded him back.

"Damn, the third child will have a longer memory in the future!"

Cao Zhang didn't look at the brother who was knocked down by himself, took off his helmet, and strode inside: "Really, what does it smell like in your house!" Stinky and stinky, come here, open the windows, annoying people! ”

"Quick, go open the window."

Cao Pi said, struggled to get up, came to him with a smile, and kept rubbing his nose with one hand: "Second brother, has it been hard along the way?" Just now I had some official business in my hands, and I was in a hurry to deal with it. ”

"."

Cao Zhangbai glanced at him, picked up the teapot and poured it directly into his mouth: "Ah, comfortable, there is Zihuan in the school office, when will it be your turn to work?" Don't lie to me, boy, there is nothing I don't know about our brothers, come to me for something, just tell me. ”

"Alas!"

Cao Zhiqiao Tower's vulgar appearance is upset, but is there any help, who let you ask for help?

Sighing lightly, he motioned for all his subordinates to withdraw, and after closing the door in person, he went straight to the door and said the original: "Second brother won't hide it from you, this time the little brother bothered you to come here because of ......"

The more Cao Zhi spoke, the quieter his voice became, and finally it was even more attached to his ear, and he didn't know, after listening to him, Cao Zhang's scorched eyebrows were furrowed in one place, and his eyes were deep: "Boy, you're not joking, are you?" Did Zihuan really go to form an alliance with the little emperor? ”
