Legend has it that many years ago, after the Qin Dynasty finally fell, Chu and Han fought against each other to compete for the world. After a hundred battles, the Han army surrounded Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. Ambushed on all sides, Chu Ge got up at night, and the Chu army was in turmoil and was unable to fight again.

Xiang Yu, this unparalleled hero, has the power to pull out the mountain, and he only ended up with a farewell concubine and Wujiang killing himself.

After Xiang Yu's death, the treasure knife stained with his blood was presented to Liu Bang, the king of Han, by the general of the Han army. The light of the sword is breathtaking, and it seems that the overlord is still there. Even Liu Bang, who was born as a scoundrel and was about to start a great dynasty, was a little afraid.

He wanted to destroy the knife that had slaughtered tens of millions of people. But I was very reluctant. His ministers saw his thoughts, so someone said to him, no matter how powerful the overlord of Western Chu is, isn't he defeated under the hands of the lord? Even if there is a spirit, from now on, it will only be like the thousands of soldiers who have died, and they will become the protectors of the Han River. This treasure knife is just used to promote the majesty of His Majesty and deter the unsubordinate!

When Liu Bang heard it, it was exactly what he wanted. So he ordered to use this overlord sword to recast two knives, and engraved their names respectively. One is called "Punishing Evil", and the other is called "Kuangzheng".

However, these two knives are too murderous, and they are so precious, they are definitely not something that ordinary generals can use. Therefore, since it was cast, it has been in the dust in the box, and it has not been seen from the light of day.

Later, Liu Bang was finally going to die. Although he knew that he was leaving behind a very dangerous political situation, there was no way to change it. Queen Gao Lu Pheasant, this powerful woman, even if it is placed in the history of thousands of years, is also the top character. The ambition she revealed, even if Liu Bang finally noticed it, could not do anything about it.

However, the treacherous and cunning Liu Bang finally kept a back hand before he died. He ordered someone to give the treasure knife "to punish evil" to the Taiwei Zhou Bo. Liu Bang believed that if something unspeakable happened after his death, Zhou Bo would understand the meaning of the knife.

Liu Bang's human vision is first-class among all emperors. The people he used during his lifetime never disappointed him, and the people entrusted him after his death did not live up to his trust, and proved his cleverness in this regard with practical actions.

Later, Taiwei Zhou Bo took this knife to enter the camp of the Northern Army at night, seized military power and then controlled Chang'an, killed Zhu Lu and a group of henchmen, re-supported the Han family, and welcomed Emperor Wen of Han to ascend the throne. The weight of the honor is heavier than Mount Tai!

The legend of the "evil sword" does not stop there. Later, the person who held the knife was Zhou Bo's son, Zhou Yafu.

In that year, the Xiongnu invaded, Yanmen Pass was in an emergency, and Chang'an was shaken. The imperial court ordered the armies near Chang'an to urgently prepare for war in case of a surprise attack by the Huns. When Emperor Wen of Han personally inspected the army, all the troops opened the door to greet them, and the garrison was lax. However, when he arrived at the garrison of the Xiliu Battalion, he was strictly guarded, and it was difficult for the emperor to get close.

When a close minister from the palace came to open the camp gate, the general in heavy armor replied very simply.

"In the army, I know that there is a general's order, but I don't know the order of the Son of Heaven!"

The herald went back in disgrace. Emperor Wen of Han had no choice, so he personally got down from the car to say hello, and only then was he allowed to enter the Xiliu camp. But the young general with a straight face said it bluntly.

"With armor on your body, it is difficult to give full salutes in the army, Your Majesty is not to blame ......!"

This is very arrogant. In other barracks, I was warmly welcomed and bowed down...... Emperor Wen of Han gritted his teeth, I endure!

"Zhou Yafu, it's a real general!"

Emperor Wen, who walked out of the Xiliu camp, gave a thumbs up. Under the bright sunshine, the young general was mighty and majestic, and the sword he admired was scorching and shining. Since you have inherited this knife, you must always be worthy of the domineering spirit of this knife.

Zhou Yafu was not inferior to his father at all. With this sword, he quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, killed the treacherous and evil, and reorganized the world. The imprint left on the history books is much thicker than that of Zhou Bo.

However, the sword made him famous and lost his life. The unruly and unruly famous generals of the time, in the eyes of the generous Emperor Hanwen, are the ministers of the society. By the time Emperor Han Jing, a mean king, became an unbearable thorn.

Legend in the world says that when Zhou Yafu was imprisoned, he was not angry and died on a hunger strike. Instead, he died under the knife of "punishing evil spirits". The moon was clear, the sky was vast, and the grief-stricken general faced the knife specially sent by the emperor, and he ended his life without hesitation...... This world is not worth it!

The "evil sword" has been missing since then. Weiyang Palace only has another "Kuangzheng" left.

Cheng Buzhi definitely didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would bring him such a great honor this time. Although the "Kuangzheng" knife was in the sheath, it still rattled, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to drink blood.

Yuan Zhao naturally knew that Cheng didn't know. When he first arrived in Chang'an, he also had several encounters with him. Although he has not dealt with him too deeply, he still has some respect for this former famous general who is as famous as Li Guang.

However, Cheng Buzhi's attitude towards him was very cold. Yuan Zhao didn't care. These veteran generals had their own tempers, which were common in the army. As for the emperor's extraordinarily generous gifts, they are also fully qualified to receive them.

There is the emperor's palace in Luoyang City, and there is no need to live in the Taishou Mansion anymore. According to the itinerary, it is necessary to stay in this place for a few more days. Because the Hejian area is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it was one of the main grain producing areas of the Han Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor would like to have a hard time knowing what is expected for this year's sowing and harvest.

Speaking of this, Cheng Buzhi is the Taishou of Hejian, and the officials in the mansion have been a little anxious and uneasy in the recent period. For no other reason, there has been little rain this year, and there has been a rare drought since late spring. Now is the peak season for crops, and if it doesn't rain again and delays the harvest, it will be really bad.

As early as a few days ago, the people of the counties near Hejian had already organized themselves to pray for rain at the Yuwang Temple in the Qifeng Valley of Taiyue Mountain. This is a local custom that is said to be very effective. But this time it's a little strange, it's been a few days, and praying for rain doesn't seem to have any effect, and God still hasn't dropped a drop of rain.

Originally, during this period of time, Cheng Buzhi and other county officials were all going all out to pay attention to this matter. But now that the emperor is here, he has to spare his energy to serve the holy driver.

Strange to say, it was at this time that something surprising to all the people of the riverside lands happened. On the night of the emperor's chariot, thunderbolts roared, and rain began to fall. And the rain became heavier and heavier, and it continued for several days and nights, and the drought was relieved at once, and everyone was in good spirits and put their hearts in their stomachs.

"The Holy Son of Heaven is in power, and virtue is worthy of heaven and earth! The old man really wants to thank the Son of Heaven for the kindness of all the people in the river! ”

The rain was pouring outside, and the night was deep, but the atmosphere in the general's mansion was very warm. Another position is that Cheng Buzhi, who is the general of Zhongzhou, is receiving late-night visitors. If there is no special government affairs to deal with, Cheng Buzhi does not like to stay in the Taishou Mansion, although the distance between the two official offices is not far, he still stays in the General's Mansion most of the time. After all, no matter what you say, in his subconscious, he is still a military general.

The people who pass by on such a night are obviously extraordinary. The man who came under the protection of several capable entourages was handsome, and there was a sharp edge in his eyes. When the close minister of the Son of Heaven heard Cheng Buzhi's sincere words, although he was a little ashamed of his foolishness and loyalty, he would never show half of it on his face.

"The old general is a man who knows gratitude! In front of Your Majesty, I will definitely bring this sentence. Hehe! ”

"Alas! Since I left Chang'an, I haven't had the opportunity to see the holy face again, and when I saw it today, I found that His Majesty was so old...... The years are ruthless, and there are many state affairs, which is sighing. I only hate that the old man is far away from Chang'an, and I can't worry about the king. What a shame to have received such a generous gift now! ”

There were no outsiders in the hall of the General's Palace. Five or six lieutenant colonels and confidants are the most trustworthy people. And what is the purpose of King Wuqiu Shou, who came to visit late at night, Cheng Buzhi guessed a few points. So there is nothing to shy away from between his words. The reason why I say this is just that I want the man who is very calm on the other side to be able to say the mission he wants to convey simply and clearly.

Sure enough, King Wuqiu Shou smiled faintly. As smart as he is, of course he understands the meaning of this upright veteran's words.

"Yes, the old general is not wrong at all. The reason why His Majesty the Emperor is aging so quickly is because of the hard work of the day and night...... His Majesty was heartbroken for the stability of the country, but it was still difficult to sleep...... Alas! Those of us around us have limited abilities, and it is really difficult for us to solve Your Majesty's troubles. It would be great to have someone like General Cheng to help! ”

King Wuqiu Shou stared at Cheng Buzhi with blazing eyes, he wanted to really see what was in this person's heart. Those verbal promises and expressions of loyalty are insignificant, and what is needed to eliminate the great trouble of the henchmen is iron-blooded killing and brave loyalty. Tonight, King Wuqiu Shou, who was secretly ordered to plan all this, needs to see his true actions!

"The old man started from the end of the micro, and Emperor Meng Xian was simply promoted to the army, made a marquis, and worshiped the general...... The emperor's grace is immense, and there is no way to repay it. I already know the meaning of the Son of Heaven's Imperial Treasure Sword. Although he does not dare to compare with the Marquis of Jiang, with the veteran Yu Lie, he will not dare to spare his life with the strength of Kuang Zheng! The heart of heaven and earth can learn from the sun and the moon! ”

"Good! Sure enough, the words are commendable! However, this matter is important, has General Cheng really made up his mind? ”

"Cheng doesn't know what to do, and he doesn't want to listen to the dispatch, and he doesn't kill him. If there is something that is not satisfactory, I am willing to suffer the curse of heaven and die under this precious sword! ”

Cheng Buzhi was impassioned, and made an oath to the "Kuangzheng" treasure knife in the rain and the "Kuangzheng" knife in his hand.
