"Master, where are we going?"

A young man followed behind Pu Yuan with his bags on his back, asking as he walked.

"Go to my senior brother and build twenty-eight swords in one year, it is difficult to complete it by one person alone, and with the addition of senior brother, it will definitely be done, but senior brother is obsessed with forging swords, and I don't know if I can invite him down the mountain."

Pu Yuan was a little sad, although he boasted about Haikou in front of Liu De, he really couldn't finish it, in addition to losing his reputation, even his life might not be guaranteed!

No matter what, I will definitely invite my brother down the mountain.

"This is the mountain!"

Pu Yuan looked up, the mountain in front of him was not dangerous, but it was also full of fog, faintly with birds and birds, but there was a unique scenery.

Since Pu Yuan responded to Liu De's errand, on the one hand, he asked Cui You for the rare ore needed for casting, and he also needed a quiet and undisturbed casting place, on the other hand, he ordered his apprentices to start making some preliminary preparations, and finally Pu Yuan left Chang'an with a disciple and went to the northwest of Zhongzhou, which lasted a month, and finally arrived at the location of his senior brother.

A casting furnace was halfway up the mountain, and thick smoke was still faintly visible, and Pu Yuan and his disciples quickly climbed up the mountain.

"Senior brother!"

Pu Yuan saw Ou Yezi standing next to the casting furnace and constantly hitting the iron billet with an iron hammer.

Ou Yezi raised his head, but his face was surprised, put down the anvil, picked up the hand towel on the side and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile: "Why did Senior Brother Pu come here, didn't you do things in the Han court?" ”

Pu Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and took the hammer in Ou Yezi's hand, "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, I really have something to ask for this time!" ”

"Let's go, go over and talk!"

Ou Yezi greeted.

At this time, a woman in her thirties, about 30 years old, came out of the house with her child.

Ou Yezi summoned the woman to come and introduced to Pu Yuan: "This is the Hun family. ”

Turning his head to his wife and children, he said: "This is a certain junior brother Pu Yuan, who learned the ability to forge swords under his father back then. ”

"I've seen my sister-in-law!"

Pu Yuan hurriedly said.

The woman smiled, squatted slightly, and then took the child into the house, and came out with a pot of tea.

Ou Yezi and Pu Yuan sat on the stone bench outside the house, making tea, Pu Yuan also knew his brother's temperament, so he said directly: "Don't hide it from my brother, now I am working as a craftsman in the Ministry of Industry, with his skills, he can also be regarded as a good eater in the department, thinking that he can become a small head in another year or two, I thought that this would be the case for a lifetime, but I thought that I would be summoned by Han Gong..."

As soon as Pu Yuan said something, Ou Yezi frowned slightly, "Senior brother, you are a little too big, twenty-eight treasure-level swords, a year is too short!" ”

"Therefore, I am going to find my brother to go over and serve His Highness together, and forge these twenty-eight swords within a year." Pu Yuan Road.

Ou Yezi looked around, but he didn't answer for a while.

Seeing this, Pu Yuan persuaded: "Brother Zhi doesn't want to be burdened by the powerful, but Han Gong is different, this world will inevitably be obtained by Han Gong, which is recognized by the whole world, and when Han Gong unifies the world, it will inevitably make this world more prosperous, senior brother, can you deny it?" ”

Ou Yezi slowly shook his head and said, "I can't..."

"So that's it!"

Pu Yuan's speech speed accelerated: "The troubled times are coming to an end, we are old, we can cast a furnace on this lonely mountain to support the rest of our lives, but the younger generations are still young, and the senior brother also wants to watch the children stay in front of this lonely furnace for the rest of their lives?" ”

"And!"

Pu Yuan said in a sincere tone: "If Senior Brother wants to raise the name of Ou's sword, what is the use of relying on himself, but now there is an opportunity to let everyone in the world know the name of Senior Brother!" ”

Ou Yezi sighed and said, "You're right, not only for the sake of the Ou family's reputation, but also for the sake of the young children, I really need to take a trip." ”

Pu Yuan was overjoyed and drank all the tea in one gulp.

......

Beizhou, the former military capital of the garrison camp.

"Handsome..."

Zhang Fang was a little speechless and stopped.

"What?" 536 Literature

Bai Qi was a little curious.

Zhang Fang organized the organizational language, and then said: "Great Shuai, Your Highness has asked the generals of the Governor's Department to write a letter to the Southern Expedition to Yizhou, so as to determine the candidate for the main general of the Southern Expedition..."

Bai Qi smiled and said: "General Zhang also wants to compete for the candidate for the main general, but it's okay, after all, we have been in Beizhou for several years, but it's very boring!" ”

"No, the last general is just curious, why didn't the marshal write, if the marshal wants to fight, who can compete for the marshal?"

Zhang Fang asked with a little curiosity.

"Hehe..."

Bai Qi was not angry, but replied with a smile: "If we want to cut down Shu, the soldiers and horses we can use can only be the soldiers and horses raised in Xizhou now, but the soldiers and horses in our northern state cannot be used.

Soldiers don't know the generals, the generals are not familiar with the soldiers, how can they complete the great cause of His Royal Highness's unification, a slight setback, it is really a hundred deaths, not to mention that my old physical illnesses have often recurred in recent years, and they are no longer as good as before, so I will not fight. ”

Zhang Fang was a little depressed, and a little unwilling, "That Guan Du Governor in the south is a big victory after a big victory, and when His Royal Highness succeeds to the throne, Guan Du Dudu's reward is absolutely unmatched, to put it mildly, Guan Du Governor is really the first person in the military, at that time, except for you, who can hold him down!" ”

Zhang Fang put it bluntly, he still hopes that Bai Qi can win the position of the commander of Shu, because Zhang Fang also wants to mention it, even if Bai Qi does not move, his status is still one of the five major governors, and he is a figure in the military platoon.

And what about Zhang Fang?

Generals of the same level as him can't be counted on both hands, although Zhang Fang boasts of outstanding ability, he also knows that it is impossible for him to win the position of coach.

Therefore, Zhang Fang very much hoped that Bai Qi would fight, and then he could follow behind to make some military achievements, but Bai Qi did not have the pride and ambition of the year, which made Zhang Fang a little discouraged, and he couldn't help but resort to the method of agitation.

Bai Qi said: "General Zhang, I and the Governor of Guan Du both serve His Royal Highness, but there is no dispute for the title, General Zhang should not say this in the future, retreat!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Fang had no choice but to retreat.

When he exited the tent door, he waved his arm in annoyance and left with a curse.

And Wei Qing, who was far away in Yanzhou, had already written a piece of music, bound it, and sent it to Chang'an.

Huo Jun watched the letter soldier leave quickly, and asked with a smile, "The brother's recital has been written!" ”

Wei Qing heard Huo Jun's laughter, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Of course, it would be best if you could occupy a place in the Shu army, and you don't know what happened to your brother in the past few years..."

"My brother is too kind, no one knows my brother's ability, but I know."

When Huo Jun heard this, he couldn't help but comfort: "My brother just lacks a big battle to prove himself. ”

Wei Qing said: "That's the case, but since His Highness's appointment, he hasn't shared much for His Highness, but has let His Highness bear the stigma in vain, making others think that His Highness is a cronyist, but it makes Wei feel uneasy, afraid of betraying His Highness's trust." ”

"Where does my brother speak, in Yanzhou, I admire my brother's ability very much!"

Wei Qing only shook his head and smiled bitterly and said nothing.

...

It has been nearly four months since the fast horse arrived in Zhongzhou from Youzhou.

The palace and other official mansions in Chang'an have also been completed for the most part, and the entire Han realm is even more smooth, and everything is safe, but it is also surprising to the officials, and they all say that this is a sign of prosperity for the Han family.

The common people don't think about it so much, if Liu De can let them eat enough, then Liu De is a saint.

Even if there are dissatisfied powerful families, they also keep their mouths shut and send their sons and nephews to enter the Han court through imperial examinations, recommendations and other means.

People who have no vision know that this world will be a big man sooner or later, how long can those Xiaoxiao in the south last long?

It's just a matter of breathing...

At this time, Liu De was also in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, discussing the documents sent by each of them with Zhang Tianlang, Liu Gui and other people in the Governor's Mansion, plus Dai Zong, Gongwei Division, Li Yuanfang, Hanging Mirror Division, and others.

"Guo Jia is doing well in Jiangzhou, Lu Congshou is already unstable internally, his wife has not appeared for a long time, and she has either been placed under house arrest by Lu Congshou or has been killed."

Liu De looked at the geography of Jiangzhou on the map, but he praised Guo Jia.

"If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do anything, Lu Congshou really messed up this time, without the threat of Lu Congshou, this time it will be a lot easier."

Liu Gui laughed on the side.
