In the courtyard, the famous craftsman Yan Fang completed the restoration of Zhang Xuan's halberd, Zhang Xuan picked up the halberd and looked at it carefully, only to see that the tip of the halberd was straight and sharp again, and it was completely impossible to see that it had been twisted, which made him very satisfied.

Yan Fang smiled on the side: "I only now fully understand what is unique about the Gasha Xuantie? Generally speaking, if the good forged steel is charred more, the formation of high-carbon steel, although the hardness is high, but easy to break, on the contrary, low-carbon steel is not easy to break, but too soft, so I generally use the forging method of clad steel, with low-carbon steel wrapped high-carbon steel to build, so that the hardness is just right, and the hardness of Gasha black iron is very high after charcoaling, but it is difficult to break, which is its uniqueness. ”

"Then how can the old man fix it?" Zhang Xuan asked curiously.

Yan Fang said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to use the heavy forging method to repair, but that had to remelt the entire halberd head and rebuild it, which was not realistic, so I used a small hammer to correct it little by little, and the most important thing was that the iron lines inside could not be broken, and I had to listen to it while knocking it, so it took two days." ”

Zhang Xuan knew that he had spent a lot of energy on this, and he was grateful, so he said to Wei Chigong: "Old Captain, help me get fifty taels of gold!" ”

Wei Chi Gong rushed away, and Yan Fang hurriedly waved his hand, "General, you don't need to give any compensation, I didn't come to repair the general's weapons for money." ”

"I know, because it's because of the Skill of Gasha."

Zhang Xuan took a piece of gold, forced it to Yan Fang, and said with a smile: "But if I don't get paid, I really don't want to go, these are two different things, I can repair weapons so perfectly, I'm afraid only Lao Zhang in the world can do it." ”

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that although Yan Fang was not for money, his son was a weapon shop, and he had to take into account the sophistication of the people in it.

Yan Fang's heart was moved, although it was only fifty taels of gold. But Zhang Xuan's friendship is very deep, he thought about it and asked his son to take out a sword from the wooden box, handed it to Zhang Xuan with both hands and said: "This is the last sword I personally built ten years ago, and it has always been my collection as a souvenir. ”

Jang Hyun has a razor-sharp knife. But there was no sword, he took it and looked at it, only to see that the scabbard was made of teak, wrapped in black mackerel skin, without any decoration, and looked very simple and unpretentious.

He slowly drew his sword, only to feel a chill rushing towards his face, the body of the sword was made of Uzi steel, with special patterns on it. The sword body has almost no luster, but the cold is pressing, delicate as water, and the sword body is engraved with the word 'stop martial arts'.

Zhang Xuan waved lightly, only to listen to 'Click!' With a bang, the stake with a thick calf was cut off, and he was startled, and it was as sharp as a stone. This is the real sword, and Zhang Xuan knows that this sword is worth at least a few hundred gold. He actually gave it to himself.

Zhang Xuan was very moved and gave a deep salute, "My father-in-law's heart, Zhang Xuan is grateful!" ”

Yan Fang smiled and nodded, "The general is a general who leads the troops, I hope the general can understand the true meaning of this sword." The sword is not a killing weapon, but a weapon of stopping. ”

After speaking, Yan Fang clasped his fists and saluted, and walked quickly towards the door of the mansion with his son.

Zhang Xuan kept sending Yan Fang out of the gate, watching their father and son go away. Next to him, Wei Chi Gong smiled and said: "General, there are only three swordsmiths in the world who really know the method of forging steel, and he is one of them." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, he remembered Yu Chigong's words.

Zhang Xuan turned around and was about to go back to his house, when a timid voice came from the side, "Does General Zhang live here?" ”

Zhang Xuan turned around and saw that it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old lady, who was also handsome, wearing a green jacket skirt, combing her hair in a single bun, and a pair of big eyes showing a timid look, Zhang Xuan asked with a smile: "Which General Zhang?" ”

"It's called Jang Hyun!"

Zhang Xuan laughed, "I am, what are you looking for me?" ”

When Xiao Niang heard that he was Zhang Xuan, she hurriedly said: "It was Ah Yuan who came to ask me to write a letter, saying that it was very important." ”

Zhang Xuan immediately guessed that it must be Lu Qing who had a letter to him, and when he saw people coming and going, he smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first!" ”

Zhang Xuan brought the little lady into the door, sat down on the flower bed and asked with a smile, "Is it a message?" ”

Xiaoniang hurriedly took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Xuan, "Ah Yuan is being watched, she can't go out, so she asked me to send this letter, General Zhang, if Lu Fu knows that I sent this letter, I will be killed." ”

"Is it that serious?"

Zhang Xuan opened the letter written to him by Lu Qing with a smile, read it quickly, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, he thought about it and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The slave's name is Lixiang, and she is a good friend of Ah Yuan."

"Rika, can you tell me what the hell happened?"

Lixiang said that the Cui Lu family was about to get married, and the matchmaker had come to the door, and she said in detail about the completion of the marriage within a month, and finally she said timidly: "Madame has issued a strict order, if anyone leaks the news, they will be beaten to death with a cane, Ah Yuan said that you will thank me, and I took the risk to deliver the letter." ”

Jao Hyun understood what she meant and said with a smile: "Do you want money?" ”

Lixiang's eyes were red, and she whispered: "Daddy has been sick for several years and owes a lot of debts, and now someone is forcing debts at home every day, and my mother can't live anymore." ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "How much does it cost to pay off the debt?" ”

"About two hundred yuan!"

Zhang Xuan took twenty taels of gold and handed it to her, "Pay off the debt, and give the rest of the money to your father for treatment." ”

Twenty taels of gold can be exchanged for six hundred yuan at the current price, and Rika suddenly cried and knelt down, "Thank you for the general's life-saving grace!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and helped her up, "Don't cry, help me send a letter to Ah Yuan, even if you repay me." ”

Rika wiped away her tears, nodded and said, "I'll definitely help the general deliver it." ”

Jag-hyun pondered for a moment, then went back to his room and wrote a letter and handed it to Rixiang, "Hide the letter and be careful not to be discovered." ”

Rixiang still hid the letter in her hair, and she kowtowed to Zhang Xuan again, and then hurried away.

When the little maid walked away, Zhang Xuan turned back to Wei Chigong and said, "Old Captain, we may have to leave Beijing early." ”

Wei Chigong understood in his heart, he smiled and nodded, "I'm going to find Xiao Pei here." ”

In the evening, Zhang Xuan came to Pei's mansion, which was also the first time Zhang Xuan came to visit Pei Ju after an unexpected blind date in Pei Yun's mansion.

Of course, Zhang Xuan can use the excuse of participating in the Heroes Club and have no time to visit Pei Ju, but this is just an excuse, I believe Pei Ju also knows it, so Pei Ju does not show up at all during the Hero Club, and he does not care about Zhang Xuan's ranking, which seems a little abnormal, it seems that Pei Ju is expressing a dissatisfaction with Zhang Xuan.

The reason is not that Zhang Xuan rejected the Pei family's intention to marry, Zhang Xuan also understood in his heart that the fundamental reason was that he cooperated with Dou Qing and brought down Bohai Hui and Yuan Min, and Pei Ju couldn't have been unaware.

The reason why Zhang Xuan did not come to visit Pei Ju was actually to express his dissatisfaction with Pei Ju, who was too strong and did not clarify the relationship between him and himself.

Zhang Xuan obviously felt that Pei Ju wanted to turn himself into the Pei family's general, just like Yuwen Taibao, but the treatment was a little better than Yuwen Taibao, and the Pei family also let himself marry a concubine and make himself the son-in-law of the Pei family, and worked hard for the Pei family from then on.

Of course, marriage is also a way to win over, Zhang Xuan doesn't understand, but Pei Ju is not just to win over, but to possess himself, such as dissatisfied with his cooperation with Dou Qing, it seems that he can't cooperate with anyone except the Pei family, plus Pei Renji squeezed Zhang Xutuo away, which made Zhang Xuan very dissatisfied with the Pei family.

However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, since Zhang Xuan has decided to leave the capital ahead of schedule, he still has to come to say goodbye to Pei Ju before leaving, he can keep his distance from Pei Ju, but he must not turn against him.

After only waiting for a moment at the gate, Pei Xin hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "General Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Zhang Xuan also smiled: "It's too busy, it's only been free for the past two days." ”

"Understandably, congratulations to the general on his great achievement!"

"Nobukomi also knows?"

"Of course I know, no one in Luoyang knows, my grandfather also mentioned the general yesterday."

"Oh! I don't know if Ling Zu can be in the house? ”

"Of course, grandfather is waiting for the general in the outer study, please!"

Zhang Xuan knew that with Pei Ju's status and the city government, even if he was dissatisfied with himself, he would not easily show it, especially in terms of etiquette, he would never be able to see his true attitude towards himself.

So Pei Ju asked his grandson Pei Xin to come out to greet him and wait for him in the outer study, and Zhang Xuan would not think that Pei Ju still had the same attitude towards him.

Pei Xin invited Zhang Xuan to the outer study and reported at the door: "Grandfather, General Zhang is here." ”

"Please come in!" Pei Ju's voice came from the room.

Pei Xin waved his hand respectfully, "General Zhang, please!" ”

Zhang Xuan walked into the outer study quickly, and saw Pei Ju sitting in front of the copper lamp in his regular clothes reading a book, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to salute, "See Pei Gong for his humble duties!" (To be continued......)
