"Li Sima is also a knife lover?" Wang Zongshi's gaze never left the delicate short knife on Li Zhen's waist.

Li Zhen smiled when he saw this, and then took off the short knife and put it on the case, saying: "I can't talk about the love knife, it's just a gift from a friend, and it's just a matter of hospitality!" ”

Wang Zongshi stared intently at the short knife on the case, and said preemptively without waiting for Li Zhen's introduction: "If this envoy does not expect, this knife is made of a century-old meteorite iron, which needs to be repeatedly forged by an experienced knifesmith for a thousand times, and then quenched with tung oil, covered with soil and burned the blade, the resulting treasure knife is dark throughout, and its lines are like frost flowers, such as pine leaves, such as water waves, such as moon halos, although its appearance is not good, but both toughness and hardness are divine soldiers, as for blowing hair and breaking hair, cutting iron like mud is not a problem!" ”

"It's just..... These inlaid gems are redundant! ”

Wang Zongshi talked eloquently, obviously quite familiar with the forging of knives.

Li Zhen smiled when he heard this: "Hahaha, since the deputy envoy Wang loves this knife so much, then Zhen will give this knife to the deputy envoy!" ”

As he spoke, Li Zhen got up and presented the short knife with both hands.

When Wang Zongshi saw this, his eyes immediately lit up, but he waved his hand again and again and said: "Given by Li Sima's friend, how can I ...... it?"

"The treasure knife is given to the hero, staying here will only bury a treasure knife, Deputy Envoy Wang must not refuse!"

When Wang Zongshi heard this, he immediately stopped refusing to shirk, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Since this is the case, the envoy will ...... But it's disrespectful! ”

After taking the short knife, Wang Zongshi's face showed a touch of relief, and then gently stroked the blade of the knife, and a trace of coolness instantly penetrated through the skin from his fingertips.

"Good knife, really good knife!" Wang Zongshi smiled with admiration.

"As long as Deputy Envoy Wang likes it, it can be regarded as finding a good home for this knife!" Li Zhen smiled lightly.

"Hahaha, you're welcome, you're welcome!" Wang Zongshi smiled, but still refused to put down the short knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Li Zhen paused slightly, and then said softly: "I heard that Lieutenant Qiu is seriously ill, and now many things in the Shence Army are handled by Deputy Envoy Wang, which must be extremely hard, and I hope Deputy Envoy Wang will take care of his health!" ”

Wang Zongshi froze slightly when he heard this, then put down the short knife lightly, and said with a smile: "This is a matter of duty, you must do your best to live up to the holy grace, as for the rest, I haven't thought too much!" ”

Li Zhen nodded, and said: "Hehe, Your Majesty naturally understands that Deputy Envoy Wang is loyal, but it is difficult to guarantee that some people have ill intentions, and Deputy Envoy Wang is better to be careful!" ”

Wang Zongshi snorted coldly and said, "You mean Ma Yuanzhen? Hum! As long as Qiu Gong is still in the day, he Ma Yuanzhen will not dare to make a mistake! ”

Li Zhen sighed lightly when he heard this, and said, "Alas, having said that, after all, Qiu Gong is seriously ill, if it really comes to that day......"

"Hehe, if Ma Yuanzhen thinks so, I'm afraid he will be happy!"

"Oh?!" Li Zhen said in surprise.

At this time, I saw Wang Zongshi's face change slightly, as if he was aware of his gaffe, and immediately waved his hand and said: "There are some things that are inconvenient to say, no matter what, Qiu Gong's connections are not comparable to his Ma Yuanzhen, and this thing can be like a finger as long as it works properly!" ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but bow down and smile when he heard this: "Since this is the case, it is the people who are worried about the sky, and I hope that the deputy envoy of the king will help him more in the court in the future!" ”

......

Following.

Before dawn, Li Pu, the Qing of Honglu Temple, had already appeared in front of Li Chen, and his face looked a little anxious.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm still in the dynasty today!"

Li Chen rarely had a good night's sleep, but he didn't want to be disturbed by Li Pu, so he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart.

I saw Li Pu's face frightened, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives me, originally the minister didn't want to disturb the holy bow, but something happened last night, and I came to ask for the holy judgment!" ”

"Oh? What happened to me, and I had to decide? ”

"This morning, I came to report that I had lost something last night!"

"What?" Li Chen asked.

"A knife, originally a knife to be dedicated to His Majesty!" Li Pu replied.

"For me?!" Li Chen's face was a little ugly.

......

Anyi Fang, Li House.

"Zeyuan, why are you still here? If there's no movement today, it's time for you to set off tomorrow! ”

As soon as Zheng Hao entered the door, he said to Li Zhen with an anxious face.

"The show has only started today, what is the urgency of raising a brother!" Li Zhen carefully wiped a pitch-black barrier knife and said without raising his head.

"You're so confident? It's time to find out the wind! ”

Zheng Hao's voice fell, and he saw Zheng Congyan push the door directly without waiting for the report, and said with a smile: "The show has begun!" ”

Li Zhen smiled and said nothing, Zheng Hao hurriedly asked when he heard this, "Your Majesty has a will?" ”

Zheng Congyan nodded and said: "Well, the news that just got from the palace, His Majesty ordered Dali Temple to strictly investigate the case, and it is said that only a three-day deadline was given, and I believe that Zeyuan will be found soon!" ”

"This is just the first step, those imperial historians haven't moved yet!" Li Zhen put the "blinding" on the case and said with a smile.

"There's no need to worry about this, with that Wang Zongshi's temperament, if he gets the treasure knife, he will naturally not hide it, and the people of Yushitai are staring at Wang Zongshi at this time, and they can't hide it today!" Zheng Congyan laughed.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "It seems that I am going to be invited to Dali Temple for tea again!" ”

"Hahaha, once you get to the Yushitai, you won't be able to leave tomorrow if you want to!" Zheng Hao couldn't help laughing.

"Not only that, Ma Zhi is Ma Yuanzhen's person, and this case involves Wang Zongshi, Ma Zhi is very likely to take this opportunity to investigate Wang Zongshi thoroughly, with Wang Zongshi's usual style, it is difficult to find out anything!"

Zheng Congyan seemed very excited, after all, this was the first time that this dynasty had an impact on the eunuchs, and the success or failure was directly related to the morale of the scholars.

"Two birds with one stone, Zeyuan has a good strategy!" Zheng Hao couldn't help but praise, but then he seemed to think of something again, and asked: "However, even if Wang Zongshi is overthrown, wouldn't it be cheaper for Ma Yuanzhen?" ”

Li Zhen said with a smile: "At present, it is almost certain that Qiu Shiliang is pretending to be sick, at least not to the point of being terminally ill, and once something goes wrong with Wang Zongshi, Qiu Shiliang will definitely not sit idly by, at least Qiu Shiliang will never let Ma Yuanzhen succeed, since this is the case, it gives us infinite possibilities, and it is really impossible to say who will end up in the end!" ”

"In this way, Zeyuan already has a suitable candidate in his heart?" Zheng Congyan asked with a smile.

"yes, tell me who it is?" Zheng Hao also urged on the side.

Li Zhen smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "Before things officially develop as we expected, this matter needs to be kept secret, after all, I am not sure if that person is really credible and can be qualified for this position!" ”
