Chapter 172: Qinghong Sword

After another hour of waiting, the sword had been quenched three times, and now the surface of the sword was bright enough to illuminate a man, and he was pulled out of the workbench and immersed in water for the last time.

"Whew!"

A burst of white mist rose, and when I looked at it again, the cold light of this sword was shining and compelling, and everyone present shouted a good word. Lu Xuan even said: "This sword, I'm afraid only the ancient cadre Mo Xie can compare!" Lord Xu, can you choose a better name? With that, Lu Xuan handed the sword to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Let's call it Qinghong Sword,"

At this time, Lu Xuan handed over another scabbard and said, "Lord Xu, this sword has not yet opened, I will let the apprentice help you polish it." ”

Xu Qing nodded and agreed. The invention of steel weapons is a huge progress in the history of cold weapons, and the later Mo knife in the Tang Dynasty has become an existence that can confront the Turkic cavalry when it touches a little bit of steel. It's a pity that the steel refined by the Modao team is too expensive to last. Xu Qing's use of coke to make steel is not only technically guaranteed, but also much lower than other methods. So, Xu Qing had another idea, the fire in his hand. The gun was made of the original iron, and if it was changed to steel, the performance would be greatly improved. There is a Lu Xuan here in front of him, isn't it just right to use it to transform the gun.

It's just that the matter at the moment is relatively big, and Xu Qing decided to slow down. Now, he finally has a sword, which is not bad. The rest of the steel block, Xu Qing instructed Lu Xuan to keep it well, and it was regarded as a gift.

As soon as Xu Qing came out, he met the prisoner. But Jian Cheng didn't know what Xu Qing had done, so he asked Lu Xuan, and Lu Xuan also smiled and said nothing. I saw Xu Qing holding a sword wrapped in a delicate scabbard, and he went out very happily.

Back at Xuanwu Gate, it was already dark, Xu Qing's official residence was bright, and several figures were shaking. It seems that Zhao Gong and Er Xiao should be inside. Xu Qing pushed the door in, and the second child said happily: "Brother Xu, you are finally back!" Come on, we've got you covered! ”

Xu Qing smiled when he heard this: "Okay, let's try your craftsmanship today." ”

The second one returned: "We only cooked the soup, and the dishes were cut by the cook in the imperial dining room." ”

"Hahaha......" Xu Qing laughed and said, "It's okay, let's eat together." ”

Li Chengdao stared at the sword in Xu Qing's hand: "Huh? Brother Xu, your sword is so special. ”

Xu Qing felt strange in his heart and asked, "How can you see it, I haven't pulled it out yet." After speaking, Xu Qing actually had an answer in his heart, although the sword was not pulled out, but the hilt was exposed. With the reason of steel, coupled with the fact that Lu Xuan personally went into battle when he cast the hilt of the sword again, this pattern and reflection are naturally different from ordinary swords.

When Li Chengdao said, sure enough, Xu Qing handed the sword to him. Li Chengdao slowly pulled out the sword, and every inch he pulled out, his eyes widened a point, and his mouth opened a little wider, and when the sword was pulled out, Li Chengdao's mouth could no longer be closed.

Xu Qing asked curiously, "Chengdao, what can you see?" ”

Li Chengdao replied in surprise: "This, who forged this sword, it is even more powerful than my father's sword!" ”

Seeing that Xu Qing was puzzled, Li Chengdao explained: "The sword is a gentleman among weapons, a gentleman wears a sword, and we have been taught to recognize the quality of the sword since we were young. My father has a sword that looks inferior to the one in front of him. It can be said that this sword, sold in the outside market, is no less than 100,000 taels! ”

Xu Qing was dumbfounded when he heard this, and scolded in his heart, this sword is so bullish, can't I make a few first, and make a lot of money in the market? Xu Qing thought about it and sighed, it's not a good thing to have more money, I'm afraid that the thief will worry about it. Thinking that back then, Shen Wansan paid for the construction of Jinling City, what kind of scenery, didn't he still wipe Zhu Yuanzhang's neck and rob him of the money he had been running for a lifetime? Although Xu Qing is an official, what's wrong with the official, you are not the emperor, there are more officials with more money, others don't know how He Shen died, Xu Qing knows.

Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian rewarded the Qinghong Sword for a long time, and the love was overflowing on their faces, and they couldn't wait to fall asleep with it, but Xu Qing pretended not to know. If it was something else, seeing that Er Xiao liked it so much, Xu Qing would have given it away, but the Qinghong Sword in front of him was not good, he was going to give it to Li Yuan.

In the eyes of the second little love, Xu Qing put away the sword, and promised them that he would give them a better sword another day, the second little didn't know that Xu Qing could already make a large amount of steel, and Xu Qing was reluctant to do so, a good sword was already more difficult, how could there be a better sword. Well, since Brother Xu likes it, let's not take it by force. The two looked at each other and saw the idea in each other's eyes.

Since Er Xiao had already cooked the shabu soup and sat down to eat it, Xu Qing didn't bother to stir-fry the vegetables on the fire again. So they ate.

While eating, Xu Qing suddenly found that there was still a person he hadn't seen. The second child plus Zhao Gong, isn't there still Wei Xian.

"Where did Wei Xian go?" Xu Qing asked.

Zhao Gong returned: "Mr. Wei and General Zhuge went to Chang'an Cang together, saying that the ambassador of Cang there asked them to get the charcoal that they didn't bring yesterday. ”

Xu Qing sighed, and at this time, two people came from outside the door, saying that Cao Cao Cao had arrived. But when he saw Zhuge Yan and Wei Xian entering the door, he said: "Lord Xu, this Chang'an Cang is too bullying!" ”

Zhao Gong went to move two stools, took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, Xu Qing beckoned them to sit down and said, "Let's sit down and eat first, while eating, how did Chang'an Cang bully people?" ”

"There is a firewood warehouse under Chang'an Cang, and the treasurer sent someone to send five carts of charcoal at noon, didn't we sign the pledge?" Wei Xian's shriveled mouth opened and closed quickly: "Today, their treasurer, the wicked person actually sued first, saying that we forced the goods, but did not sign, and wanted to blackmail them." When we got to Ambassador Cang, Ambassador Cang called us over and waited outside the door for a long time, but there was no one to see. Just then he appeared, but the sentence "You are not worthy to talk to me, let the chief seal officer come" drove us out. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Yan was also angry: "Bah! I am a seven-rank goalkeeper, Mr. Wei's seven-rank master book, he is just an ambassador from Liupincang, what kind of official authority is there? It's just that there are many of them...... Tomorrow, I'll call some brothers over and copy his Chang'an Cang! ”

Xu Qing's face was expressionless, eating mutton shabu, looked at Wei Xian and asked, "What is the name of Ambassador Nacang?" ”

Wei Xian replied: "The ambassador of the cang believes in Mo, and the firewood depot also believes in Mo, oh! I understand, it's the people of the original Taifu Temple's family, no wonder we're stuck......"

Before Xu Qing could speak, the two little ones stood up indignantly, and said one after another: "Brother Xu, you don't have to worry about this matter, this kind of bad official who has a personal vendetta will wait for us to report to the emperor's father!" ”
