The next morning, Liu Chan cleaned up and stood under the eaves calmly looking at the cool sky, and Huang Hao stood behind Liu Chan like Liu Chan's shadow.

After a while, Wei Yan hurriedly walked over, today Wei Yan was going to take Liu Chan to see Pu Yuan, so Liu Chan was not surprised to see Wei Yan coming.

Wei Yan saw Liu Chan saluting and said calmly: "Son, please come with me, I have already prepared the horses." Let's go. "Liu

Chan nodded and led Huang Hao to follow Wei Yan out the door.

The two guards outside the door had already prepared their horses, and the guards who surrounded Liu Chan yesterday saw Liu Chan and Wei Yan coming out, and they all bowed their heads deeply, and Du Jie didn't dare to look at Liu Chan again.

Liu Chan walked in front of everyone calmly as if nothing had happened, and then Wei Yan and Liu Chan rode towards Puyuan Mansion.

Puyuan's mansion is located in the west of Hanzhong City, which is the downtown area of the city and is lined with various shops.

Pu Yuan also has his own blacksmith shop here, but since he doesn't fight knives, he has entrusted it to someone else to run it, selling some hoes, and he lives in the house behind the shop, and sometimes comes to the shop to go around, but most of them are still in his own house.

Liu Chan and Wei Yan rode on their horses and walked slowly here, and the owners of the shops around saw Wei Yan coming and greeted Wei Yan with a smile, it can be seen that Wei Yan is very prestigious in Hanzhong City, and Wei Yan also nodded with a smile.

After walking a distance, Wei Yan pointed to a fairly spacious shop in front of him and said to Liu Chan: "Childe, the one in front is Puyuan's ironsmithing shop, it is estimated that he is not in the shop, his mansion is behind the shop, let's go directly to his house." ”

Liu Chan sat calmly on the horse and looked in the direction of Wei Yan's finger, occasionally someone walked towards the store with a broken hoe, it should be that the hoe was broken, and he wanted to add some iron.

There is an alley next to the shop, presumably Pu Yuan's mansion is in the alley, Liu Chan nodded, and followed Wei Yan into the alley ahead.

The alley is not too narrow, and Liu Chan and Wei Yan are not crowded, and sure enough, as soon as they walked into the alley, they saw a mansion.

"That's it."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he got off the horse and went to knock on the door, and Liu Chan also got off the horse and waited quietly beside him.

"Who, don't knock, it's coming." Before Wei Yan knocked a few times, someone inside the door responded impatiently.

The one who opened the door was a young man dressed in gray cloth, and Liu Chan naturally knew that it was Wang Ping, the house slave who had been trying to persuade Pu San yesterday.

Wang Ping was also a little surprised when he saw Wei Yan and Liu Chan, thinking that the two of them had come to settle accounts with the young master, and couldn't help but stand at the door and tremble and said: "My lord, this son, my young master has already been scolded by the master, you are doing well, just let my young master go!" As he spoke, he hurriedly saluted the two.

Wei Yan looked at Liu Chan with a wry smile, and Liu Chan also shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Wang Ping looked at the expressions of the two and stared at each other, and he didn't know what it meant, and then Wei Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we are not here to embarrass your son-in-law, we are here to see your master, why don't we lead the way." ”

As soon as he said that he was not looking for trouble with the master, Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, but when he heard that he was going to see the master, Wang Ping's heart came up again, and he hurriedly shook his hand and said in a panic: "Please don't tell the master anymore, the son just got scolded by the master when he came yesterday." He promised not to do anything wrong in the future, and the adults spared the son. ”

Wei Yan waved his hand and snorted coldly: "We are not looking for your master to say that your son is not, we have something important to talk about when we find your master." Don't lead the way. ”

Hearing Wei Yan say this, Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said with a sneer: "Hehe, that's good." Those two, please, please. As he spoke, he led the two of them to the house.

Pu Yuan's mansion was not very large, and the two of them walked through a corridor to the living room.

Wang Ping embarrassed the two of them in the living room and said: "There are no servants in the house, please wait a while, I will go and invite the master." After Wang Ping finished speaking, he ran away.

Liu Chan and Wei Yan nodded to each other and found a place to sit down.

After a while, Wang Ping followed a middle-aged man who was about the same age as Wei Yan and came over, the middle-aged man was relatively tall, although he was also cloth, but he was also very neat, his slightly angry face and beard moved with him, and a pair of tiger eyes were blazing, and at first glance he was an iron-clad man. This person is the famous knife maker Pu Yuan.

Pu Yuan walked into the house and looked at Wei Yan and saluted with a smile: "General Wei has missed a long way to come to the cold house, please sit down." ”

Wei Yan also hugged his fists and disturbed.

At this time, Pu Yuan looked at Liu Chan beside Wei Yan and said with a smile: "This son's eyes are very raw, please sit down." ”

Liu Chanping smiled and nodded with his fists, and Wei Yan next to him introduced: "This is a nephew from afar, who is now a guest at my house, and I will bring him to meet Mr. Pu Yuan today." ”

Pu Yuan looked at Liu Chan again, waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Wei is polite." The old man is just a civilian, how can he work for you. ”

Then the two sat down politely one after another.

"I'm afraid General Wei came here not just to see the old man!" Pu Yuan paused here and sighed: "However, if you want to come for the matter of making knives, General Wei should not mention it again." The old man is old and doesn't want to be such a murder weapon anymore. ”

Wei Yan was not surprised, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Mr. Pu Yuan, I came this time just to trouble Mr. to help make the knife." ”

"Humph! If this is the case, then the old man has no choice but to send off the guests. The old man had already sworn that he would never make knives again, and it was the murder weapon made by the old man that hurt the lives of many innocent people. ”

After Pu Yuan finished speaking, Wei Yan didn't answer, and glanced at Liu Chan slightly.

Liu Chan had been lowering his head slightly, as if he felt Wei Yan's gaze, and slowly raised his head, his dark eyes looked a little deep, and he looked at Pu Yuan with a smile and said, "Mr. Pu Yuan said that the knife is a murder weapon and has hurt the lives of many innocent people. If our soldiers don't even have swords, when the enemy comes, I'm afraid that even more innocent people will die! ”

"This" was obviously said by Liu Chan, and Pu Yuan was a little dumb.

Indeed, if the soldiers do not have knives, when the enemy kills, the soldiers can only be captured, and the enemy troops who have no resistance will kill more innocent people, of course, in addition to knives, halberds, spears and bows and arrows, now it is just a matter of talking about knives, Ruo Puyuan said that other weapons seem to be a bit nonsense, so he can't find a reason to refute for a while.

Seeing Pu Yuan deflated, Liu Chan smiled disapprerovingly, he didn't come to raise the bar with Pu Yuan, his purpose was to let Pu Yuan make a knife for himself.

Liu Chan smiled, looked at Pu Yuan and said softly and solemnly: "I don't know if Mr. has something unspeakable, if it is really just because of his own preferences, Li Min Cangsheng, who represents the Han Kingdom, begged Mr. to make a knife." ”

Since Pu Yuan kept saying that for the sake of Li Min's life, Liu Chan simply came to repay the other in a way that gave back to him.

Pu Yuan stared at Liu Chan with a solemn face, but Liu Chan looked at the other party with a calm face and smiled.

After a while, Pu Yuan sighed slightly and cried helplessly: "The old man did say a little too much, even the old man's wife and friends died in the chaos, but the old man is powerless, let alone for the sake of Li Min's life." Pu Yuan tilted his head slightly after speaking, he should be recalling something, and then slowly drooped down.

Liu Chan and Wei Yan also looked at Pu Yuan with serious faces, but the two of them didn't speak, they looked at Pu Yuan quietly, and after a while, Pu Yuan raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little ruddy, he sat down again, wiped his eyes lightly with his sleeves, and saluted Wei Yan and Liu Chan with a wry smile: "The old man just lost his temper." Please don't see you. ”

Wei Yan also sighed, and Chong Puyuan waved his hand lightly, indicating that it was okay.

Just like Pu Yuan, even Wei Yan, who often fought on the battlefield, would feel sad when he thought of those dead brothers who had fought side by side with him.

It's just that he is a general, and he can't show his sad side in front of his brothers and soldiers, which will make the army unstable, just imagine if a general always has a sad face, then the soldiers under him must also be greedy for life and afraid of death, so how to protect the people of the Han Kingdom.

He can only hide this sadness in the bottom of his heart and give the soldiers a solemn demeanor, only in this way will the soldiers firmly gather around him, fight to the death, and use blood to protect the Han dynasty in the storm.

Liu Chan looked at Pu Yuan's sad appearance, and also did not speak, Chong Pu Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't mind.

Pu Yuan had just adjusted his state, and before he could speak, a shadow outside the door slowly walked towards the house with tea in his hand.
