The official office of the Guards Infantry Division was located on a street near the north gate of Lin'an City, Gao Huaiyuan held a sticker in his hand, took the two tigers and held a long brocade box, and walked to the front of the gate of the Guards Infantry Division.

The guard on duty immediately stopped them and asked him: "This is the important place of the infantry division, don't let the idle people break in!" Get out of here! ”

Gao Huaiyuan took out the silver waist card on his waist and showed it in front of the guards who blocked the way: "I am the head of the guards of the Yi Wangfu under the direct jurisdiction of the palace commander Yulong, Wu Jinglang Gao Huaiyuan, I have an urgent matter today, and I want to see Lord Fang, the commander of the capital!" How about bothering this brother to make a sound on his behalf? ”

As he spoke, he shoved a string of money into the hands of the guard who stood in the way.

As soon as the guard heard that Gao Huaiyuan was the person in front of the palace, and he was also the head of the guards of the Yiwang Mansion, he didn't dare to underestimate him too much, and Gao Huaiyuan was very interested in stuffing him with money first, how could he not give this face, so he checked the waist card in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, and after confirming that it was correct, he looked at Gao Huaiyuan again and saw that he was wearing a green martial arts uniform, so he nodded and said: "It turned out to be Gao Yuhou!" Long admiration! You wait here for a while, I'll go and give a call to the adults to see if Lord Fang is inside, and I'll talk back to you later!" (Marquis Yu is generally not an official position, but an honorific title for some powerful attendants, such as Lu Qian on the Water Margin, who is called Marquis Lu Yu!) ）

After saying that, the soldier put away the string of copper coins, turned around and explained to the brothers on duty together, and entered the mansion of the military secretary.

As a result, Gao Huaiyuan stood in front of the door of the infantry division, and waited until the third pole of the day, and the soldier who went in to pass the ceremony came out and said: "I'm sorry Gao Yuhou, we are all in command to make the Lord busy with official business now, and it is inconvenient to receive Gao Yuhou, Lord Fang said please Gao Yuhou go back first, and come back another day!" ”

Gao Huaiyuan's face immediately sank, this guy surnamed Fang is really not small, he came to ask to see, and actually gave him a closed-door soup to eat, if it wasn't for him, Gao Huaiyuan really wanted to brush his sleeves and leave, but this is the land of the People's Bu Military Division, if he doesn't buy his account, he can't help it, he can't break in, that's looking for death, maybe things will get bigger, Liu Er can't save him and fold in!

Gao Huaiyuan was depressed and wandered around the door of the Yamen of the Infantry Division, unable to think of any good way, seeing that half a day had passed, Liu Er's affairs still had no eyebrows at all, so he shook to the door again, and hugged his fists to the other soldiers who had just changed shifts and said: "Brothers, I am Gao Huaiyuan, the head of the guard of the Yiwang Mansion under the direct jurisdiction of the former division of the palace, Yulong, I have something important to ask to see Lord Fang today, please take the trouble to give me a word again, thank you!" This is a certain point of Gao's mind, buy some wine to drink when you are not worthwhile! Sorry everyone! I do have an urgent matter to see Lord Fang as soon as possible! Please, please! ”

Saying that, Gao Huaiyuan stuffed a hundred yuan for each of the four errand soldiers, this stepping stone can be regarded as heavy enough, and a few gatekeepers saw that they were so generous, so they didn't refuse, and immediately separated a person, ran in and reported inside.

After a while, the soldier ran out and said, "Lord Fang has an order, please enter Gao Yuhou!" Come with the little ones! ”

Gao Huaiyuan immediately took the long brocade box from Erhu's hand, held it in his hand and followed the soldier into the infantry division, bypassed the front lobby, and came to a small guest hall in the middle courtyard, arranged for Gao Huaiyuan to sit down here and wait, and someone came over to bring Gao Huaiyuan a cup of tea.

Gao Huaiyuan sat in this room and waited for another two quarters of an hour before he heard footsteps outside.

A middle-aged military attache wearing a scarlet official uniform with a fish bag appeared at the door of this room, only to see that this person is not too tall, but he looks very burly, at a glance, he knows that he is also a general, and the square face and beard are even more set off This person is very powerful.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard the footsteps, he immediately stood up, waiting to greet him, and as soon as he saw this person, he immediately determined that this person was Fang Shuda, who was the commander of the guards' personal infantry army.

"Xiaguan Gao Huaiyuan see Lord Fang! I took the liberty to come and disturb Lord Fang, and I hope Lord Fang will forgive me! Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly bowed to the visitor with a shy face.

Fang Shuda fixed his eyes and looked Gao Huaiyuan up and down, he was indeed a little busy today, he didn't plan to receive him when he first heard that Gao Huaiyuan asked to see him, and ordered someone to go out to send him away, but then someone came to pass him, saying that this surname Gao said that there was an urgent matter, and he didn't ask to see him, and he felt very bored, but thinking about it, this surname Gao was a person from the front of the palace, and he was on an errand in the Yiwang Mansion, so it was inconvenient to offend him too much, so he was temporarily invited into the palace to serve tea and wait, after he was busy at this time, I remembered that there was such a person waiting for him! So he came over to see who Gao Huaiyuan was and what he was going to do.

"Hmmm! You are the Marquis Gao Yu, the head of the guards of the Yiwang Mansion! Disrespectful, disrespectful! This official is very busy today, and there is a lot of neglect! I don't know what is the important matter for Gao Yuhou to find this official? Let's get it straight! Fang Shuda said lukewarmly to Gao Huaiyuan, with a look of disdain between his eyebrows.

Of course, Gao Huaiyuan could see Fang Shuda's thoughts, people didn't treat themselves as onions at all, there were too many officials like him in the capital, if they all came to see him directly, they wouldn't be busy to death! So Gao Huaiyuan was not annoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and asked Fang Shuda to come in before speaking.

Fang Shuda saw that Gao Huaiyuan's attitude was not bad, so he walked into the guest hall patiently and sat down in the upper seat, at this time Gao Huaiyuan hurriedly picked up the long brocade box he brought with him and said: "Xiaguan really has an urgent matter today and wants to ask Lord Fang for help!" I also know that it is very undesirable to come and disturb Lord Fang so bothered! It's a waste of Lord Fang's precious time!

This is a little bit of heart that Xia Guan came to bring this time, please take a look at it first! ”

In this day and age, you can go without empty hands when you ask someone to do something! So of course Gao Huaiyuan wouldn't stupidly ask for help when they met, so the knocking brick had to be taken out first, otherwise, before he finished speaking, he would be kicked out!

Fang Shuda looked at the long box in Gao Huaiyuan's hand, I don't know which one Gao Huaiyuan is singing, the two of them don't know each other, what is this surnamed Gao asking him for? But as soon as they met, it was inconvenient for him to drive Gao Huaiyuan out immediately, so he nodded and asked his subordinates to take the long box in Gao Huaiyuan's hand and put it in front of him.

"Gao Yuhou is polite! If there is something to do, just say it, and you will see the outside world by doing so! Fang Shuda squinted at the box on the table, and did not immediately reach out to open it, but said to Gao Huaiyuan.

"My lord! Let's take a look at this thing first! Xia Guan heard that Lord Fang is a good martial artist, with outstanding swordsmanship, and likes to collect all kinds of famous swords! Let's take a look at this thing first! Gao Huaiyuan still didn't say his request directly, but asked Fang Shuda to open the box again and take a look.

Fang Shuda roughly guessed what Gao Huaiyuan was sending at this time, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to open the long box in front of him, so a scimitar with a sharkskin scabbard in it immediately came into his eyes.

Fang Shuda's eyes immediately widened, not because of how gorgeous the decoration of this knife is, but because he also makes knives, he has seen all kinds of knives in the world today, at least for knives, he is an expert, but after opening the box today, he was immediately attracted by the style of this knife, because this knife is not like the common hand knife in this era, the scabbard is narrower, and the blade is very long, the handle is longer than an ordinary hand knife, the arc of the blade is larger, although the outside of the scabbard is wrapped in shark skin, But the whole knife decoration is not gorgeous, the knife stunned, the handle is cast of brass, and the handle is also wrapped with ordinary leather cord, which is used to prevent slipping, giving people the feeling of being unpretentious, but there is an inexplicable sense of coercion.

Fang Shuda was immediately attracted by this knife, immediately took the knife out of the box, held it in his hand and weighed it, then grabbed the handle with his right hand, and pressed the tension spring of the scabbard with the thumb of his left hand, only to hear a crisp sound, and pulled the knife out of the scabbard with a crunch.

"Good knives! This knife is so beautiful! What a knife! After Fang Shuda pulled out the knife, when he saw the cloud-like patterns on the knife, he immediately cried out.

"The name of this knife is the Liuyun scimitar, which is the unintentional acquisition of the lower official, the lower official heard that the adult loves the knife, and today he came to bring this knife and dedicated it to the adult! I wonder if adults like it? Gao Huaiyuan stood below and asked Fang Shuda, who was staring at the knife.

"Like! Like! What a rare good knife! This is the first time I have seen this kind of knife style, the knife head is relatively heavy, it must be very suitable for chopping, and the person who casts this knife is definitely a master craftsman, so the pattern can only be made by refining refined steel, and this knife has a curvature more than the common Song knife, the blade is narrow, but the back of the knife is thick, although Fang saw this knife for the first time, but also saw that the power of this knife is definitely not small! Not bad! Oh! Flowing Cloud Scimitar! It's really a knife as its name suggests! Fang Shuda said lovingly with this knife, with a hint of fanaticism in his expression.

Gao Huaiyuan's heart was finally settled, during this time, Jia Qi used the intelligence system of the Drunken Immortal Building to collect and summarize the information of many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, including their age preferences, etc., all of which were listed in detail, and it happened that Fang Shuda was also within the scope of intelligence collection, Gao Huaiyuan just read the information that Jia Qi gave him, and learned that Fang Shuda had such a hobby, that is, he liked to collect all kinds of famous knife treasures, so this time, in a hurry, he took a good Liuyun scimitar from Crouching Tiger Village, and brought it over.
