Chapter 211: The Sword of the Son of Heaven
When Ye Yu saw the holy decree issued by the emperor, his hanging heart finally fell.
If Emperor Zhao Yan didn't punish Shi Hao severely, he really didn't know what to do. Because if this is a capital crime, it would be easy to do, and he was directly pulled to the execution ground to be cut and beheaded.
Anyway, it's not the first time to deal with such a thing, even if he is the prince of the court, if Ye Yu is ruthless, he will accept it all.
However, Shi Hao's sin does not lead to death, so how to deal with this has become a tricky matter.
Now that the emperor has adopted his opinion, Ye Yu is naturally relieved.
Now that many major events in Shaoxing have been dealt with, the next trip should be well prepared.
After all, the purpose of this hunting expedition is not Shaoxing, but Fuzhou, which is thousands of miles away.
After a qiē is properly handled, he will leave Shaoxing after three days.
Today, Ye Yu and Baili Feng came to the blacksmith shop in the north of the city in civilian clothes, and their intention was mainly to visit the blacksmith Wang Tiehammer.
Although the case has been closed, the perpetrators of the crime have been duly punished. But the dead can't be resurrected after all, Wang Tiehammer is lonely, and the death of his daughter Cui'er can be said to be a big blow.
Ye Yu's special visit flattered Blacksmith Wang. Looking at Wang Tiezhu, who was over half a hundred years old and had white hair and a pale face, Ye Yu felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Before Wang Cui'er died, this Wang Iron Hammer was still taken care of, and now that her daughter has passed away, leaving this lonely old man, how should she spend the rest of her life in the future?
Thinking of this, in addition to giving more pensions, Ye Yu felt that he should inform the local government and take care of Wang Tiehammer in the future.
Wang Tiezhu was grateful to Dade and kowtowed to Ye Yu, but was helped up by Ye Yu, and said earnestly: "The old man, please get up, the younger generation can't stand it!" ”
"Adults can avenge the little girl, and they have great kindness to the grass people, and the grass people have nothing to repay, only to knock a few more heads to the adults......" Wang Tiehammer said as he spoke, and there was already dampness in the cracked tiger eyes.
"No, if you are an official or not for the people, what is an official? So the old man doesn't need to be grateful, this is what the official owes you! ”
Wang Tiezhu didn't understand these big truths, but just kowtowed.
At this time, after Baili Feng looked around the shop for a week, he whispered in Ye Yu's ear: "Brother Ye, why don't you take anything in this shop, so that he can feel relieved?" ”
Baili Feng's words reminded Ye Yu, looking at Wang Tiezhu's gratitude, he felt that it was necessary to take something so that Wang Blacksmith could feel more at ease.
"Brother Ye, why don't you choose a sword in this shop and carry it with you, so that you can use it for your body?" Baili Feng saw that Ye Yu recognized his own construction, so he kindly reminded.
As soon as Baili Feng's words fell, Wang Tiehammer suddenly realized, and with a happy face, he took out a few swords from the corner and put them all on the table.
"My lord, there are a few swords here, they are made by Xiao Lao'er on weekdays, if you choose, just take them!"
"How does this make ......?"
"Your Excellency is polite, the little old man makes a living by striking iron, and there is nothing good to thank the adult. Now only this sword can still be held, and I hope that the adults can accept it, so that the little old man will also feel at ease......"
Ye Yu chose a sword at random and checked it in his hand, and then he was very grateful: "That junior is disrespectful, thank you for the old man's sword!" ”
Wang Tiezhu smiled happily: "How dare you thank you, little old man only asks the adults to kill more dog officials, so that they can export their evil anger for our people!" ”
"Hehe, the old man can rest assured, but the younger generation still has something to worry about."
"Your Excellency's command!" Wang Tiezhu didn't ask Ye Yu what he said, and directly patted his chest and agreed.
"It's not a big deal, I just want the old man to build two things for me......"
As he spoke, Ye Yu took out a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Tiehammer in person.
"Within three days, I will come to pick up the goods, I wonder if the old man will be in time?"
Wang Tiehammer confidently promised: "What the adults have explained, the little old man just doesn't sleep, and he has to complete it!" ”
"Then there will be work, and the materials used will be sent by someone to say goodbye!"
After walking out of the blacksmith shop, Ye Yu threw the sword in his hand to Baili Feng.
"What, Brother Ye is not satisfied with this sword?" Baili Feng asked with a little confusion.
Regarding Baili Feng's question, Ye Yu did not answer positively, but said to himself: "The craftsmanship of the king blacksmith is indeed good, and this sword is also sharp, but it is not a good product after all......"
"It seems that Brother Ye lacks a competent blade."
"Yes, Ye Mou, like you, knows a little bit about swordsmanship, but unfortunately there has never been a suitable blade, but I feel a little regretful!"
Baili Feng was interested: "Brother Ye is not joking? With Brother Ye's status today, how could he not find a worthy blade? ”
"If I say that Ye feels incompetent for the treasured Zhanlu Sword of the Great Inner Palace, will Brother Baili think that Ye is a little ridiculous?"
Ye Yu's words surprised Baili Feng, Zhan Lu Sword is one of the top ten famous swords in China, and it is as famous as Xuanyuan Sword, Longyuan Sword, Tai'a, and Ganjiang Mo Xie.
This sword can make the hair and the edge disappear, and the iron is like mud, which is rarely matched in the world.
The sword is divided into the sword of the people, the sword of the princes, and the sword of the Son of Heaven.
And judging from the history of its appearance, the Zhanlu sword is the fate of a sword of princes.
The sword of the princes was unexpectedly incompetent by Ye Yu, then this meaning was extraordinary.
Either the man with the sword is difficult to control, but the man is a mustard; Either the one who bears the sword has more than control, or he is above the princes.
On the other hand, Ye Yu's status today is obviously not a common man.
In addition, Ye Yu is not the prince and grandson, but he said these words out of thin air, how could he not surprise Bailifeng?
If it was taken as a casual remark, it would not matter, but Baili Feng's expression flickered, as if he was thinking about something.
What Baili Feng thought, Ye Yu didn't know, but what he said was the truth.
In the treasure house of the Great Interior, he accompanied Emperor Zhao Yan to go, and he also tried the Zhan Lu sword himself, which was indeed a little incompetent.
For this reason, he also deliberately asked the Su father and daughter to search for the sword in the world.
But unfortunately, there is still no result after more than half a year. In Su Yueyun's words, it was not that the blade was not good enough, but that Ye Yu's vision was too high.
There are very few of the top ten famous swords in the world, so how easy is it to find their famous swords? There are countless treasures in the palace inside, but there is only one Zhanlu sword.
Therefore, the sword created by Wang Tiehammer, how could Ye Yu be able to see it. However, as Baili Feng reminded, the right should make this old man feel at ease.
However, this matter has always been cited by Ye Yu as a regret, but he didn't care about the inner meaning of this Zhan Lu sword.
Baili Feng was silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Maybe there is a sword, Brother Ye will use it......
"Oh? Seriously? It was Ye Yu, who was a little lost, who suddenly came to his senses when he heard this.
"How can Baili deceive Brother Ye, but this is just a rumor, I just don't know if it's true or not."
Baili Feng's ambiguous words aroused Ye Yu's curiosity. So he didn't rush back to the mansion, but found a teahouse that was not very high-end and chatted.
"Brother Baili, don't sell it, tell me about that rumor of yours......"
At this time, the guy had already served a pot of good tea, and Baili Feng said casually while tasting tea: "Once on the way out, I heard that Yizhou is located in Jianshan ......"
"Yizhou? Yizhou Qingyuan Mansion, we should go here next. As soon as Ye Yu heard the word Yizhou, he thought of the route of this trip to Fuzhou.
Starting from Lin'an, it is necessary to pass through Shaoxing, Yizhou, and Wenzhou, and finally arrive in Fuzhou, where it will supervise the government affairs of the local state government along the way, and inspect the coastal defense construction when it arrives in Fuzhou.
Moreover, this Yizhou Qingyuan Mansion reminded Ye Yu of Li Dao, the envoy of the Dingyuan Army.
This person is the father-in-law of King Gong Zhao Dan, and he had a relationship in King Gong's mansion at the beginning.
"Yes, it is Yizhou, Yizhou has a sword mountain, as the name suggests, there was once a rumor that a heavenly sword had fallen here!"
Ye Yu was immediately happy when he heard this: "Brother Baili, there are rumors in this market that you can also make your debut, and what nonsense is the Heavenly Sword ......?"
"So I said it was a rumor, since the ancient famous sword Ye brother is not competent, then what's the harm in telling me?"
"Okay, good, you say!" Ye Yuquan heard the story, picked up the teacup and waited with interest for Baili Feng to tell it.
"It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that after Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, the nightmare of the world's nine tripods was destroyed by a sword. The First Emperor for the sake of the country, so he secretly ordered five top swordsmiths to jointly create a unique Qinhuang sword, named the Heavenly Sword, which means the sword of the Son of Heaven......"
When!
When Ye Yu heard this, his fingers couldn't help but tremble, and he looked at Baili Feng with a somewhat stunned expression.
Seeing Baili Feng's indifferent expression, Ye Yu asked in a deep voice, "The Sword of the Son of Heaven?" ”
"Yes, it's the Sword of the Son of Heaven!"
Ye Yu was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Brother Baili, go on......"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Baili Feng's mouth, and then he continued: "It's a pity that 'the Heavenly Sword is cast into the day, and the First Emperor dreams of the day', in a word, on the day of the birth of the Heavenly Sword, it was rumored that Qin Shi Huang died on the way to the south, and the Heavenly Sword disappeared without a trace!" ”
"Disappeared without a trace, wasn't it hidden by the swordsmith?"
I have to say that the story of Baili Feng is very novel, and Ye Yu has never heard of this allusion before.
It's still hard to determine whether it's true or not, but if the sword really disappears on this day, it must be hidden. Otherwise, Ye Yu, who was born in the next generation, would not have heard of this sword.
"For thousands of years, there have been rumors and opinions, all of which are confusing and difficult to return to the truth, some say that the swordsmith hid, some say that it was burned in the Afang Palace, and some say that there is no such sword ...... in the world."
"But Yizhou Luojian Mountain is considered to be the most reliable clue!"
Ye Yu raised his eyebrows, snorted and said, "Why, isn't this sword spiritual, and it flew directly into the sky and fell onto that mountain?" ”
"That's right, Brother Ye is right!"
"Uh, is there really such a bizarre rumor?"
Ye Yu looked at Baili Feng with a little surprise, and said in his heart that he was just using his imagination to say this casually, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unreliable rumor.
