The red ribbon on the grape trellis was tied by the master with her and Xiangyun during the Spring Festival four years ago.

At that time, the master had a new atmosphere for the New Year, hung a few red lanterns, tied a few red ribbons, and begged for a prosperous and prosperous good fortune.

The lantern was later removed, but the red ribbon remained on it. Now it has long faded, and after years of exposure to the wind and sun, it will even turn into powder when touched.

But over the years, she and her family have been reluctant to touch these faded ribbons when they are sweeping the courtyard, hoping that the owner of this courtyard can replace them with his own hands.

Now Sixi saw Sheng Ting raise his hand to caress those ribbons, watching those ribbons turn into dust in his hands, and her heart was sour.

I couldn't bear to disturb him for a while.

In this same position, Sixi suddenly remembered that Mr. Rifang had received the news and came day and night......

A woman as strong as she was standing under this vine and weeping, helpless as a child.

At sunset, Mr. Fang personally dug up the plum wine that had been buried under the vine with her master, and drank it drunk.

Recalling these, Sixi quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and walked over gently: "General, are you looking for me?" ”

Sheng Ting heard Sixi's voice, quickly put away the powder in his hand, turned around and said, "Find a few books and put them in the library pavilion." ”

Sixi smiled: "The general will bring back a book every time, and Sixi has thanked the general for the master." ”

Sheng Ting rolled his eyes and glanced at the courtyard again: "It's not a good thing. You go, I'm gone. ”

"Yes, General, please go slowly."

Sixi put the books into the library cabinet, she stroked those advanced medical books and couldn't help but say to herself: "Master, although General Sheng is no longer looking for you, he is still looking forward to your return."

Not only General Sheng, but also many others, we are all looking forward to your return. I've cleaned every time you have your room, and when you come back, you'll still be as comfortable as before. ”

……

"You've been in Liangzhou for three years, what do you know about overseas countries?" Xuan Yin really didn't let Sheng Ting be idle, and called Sheng Ting to his study the next day.

Sheng Ting told the truth: "Although it is a small land, it is rich in materials, and as far as I know, they have also expressed their willingness to do business with our dynasty many times, but to no avail. ”

Xuan Yin coldly hooked his lips: "Today's saint is so suspicious, he is strict with internal suppression, but he is becoming more and more bold externally, I am afraid that if I open this door along the coast, it will cheapen my south."

The situation in the north is not much better than that of our south, and most of the horses in the three horse farms of the king of Chu have become the sits and horses of the powerful in Beijing.

This year, the king of Chu is going to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, what kind of congratulatory gift should you give to my uncle? ”

Sheng Ting understands the meaning of the prince's words, the imperial court has repeatedly oppressed and does not give a way back, if the Qi Wangfu and the south want to save themselves, they must strengthen their own strength, and finding the north as an ally is the fastest shortcut.

Sheng Ting thought about it for a while, and then said: "The prince of Chu has a good sword, and the prince may be able to give the king of Chu a peerless sword." ”

"You're in the same place as me," Xuan Yin got up, "you come with me and show you something." ”

Sheng Ting followed Xuan Yin to the inner room.

Xuan Yin stopped in front of a large box and nodded towards Sheng Ting.

Sheng Ting understood, bent down and opened the box.

The moment he opened the box and saw the things stored inside, Sheng Ting's eyes lit up, and a flash of amazement quickly flashed.

I saw that there was a piece of black iron stored in the box, the color was extremely heavy and dark, and there was even a faint red light under the sunlight outside the window.

Sheng Ting's hand pressed on the saber on his waist: "Can my subordinates give it a try?" ”

"Just try." Xuan Yin's head.

Sheng Ting pulled out the short knife and quickly slid it on the iron block in the box a few times, and exclaimed:

"It's really magnetic. Shizi, this should be a rare black iron, black iron is extremely rare, and casting weapons can sharpen iron like clay. ”

"Exactly, this is a hundred-year-old piece of dark iron, do you know who found this treasure?"

"My subordinates don't know."

"It's auspicious."

Sheng Ting didn't have any expression on his face, but he still frowned slightly:

"The dog is old, and last year he went south and north with the herbacul, probably because he was lucky enough to pick up the treasure."

Xuan Yin didn't miss the subtle expression on Sheng Ting's face, and said, "You don't have to worry, I don't have any other meaning with you. Xiangyun is the son of you and Dr. Jing, he will do whatever he wants,

In the future, I will not interfere with anyone with whom I do business, and if he needs any convenience in the future, he will come to me. ”

When Sheng Ting heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Xuan Yin: "Thank you, Shizi." ”

"This piece of dark iron is excellent, as you say, if it can be cast into a sword, it will be like sharpening iron like clay, I plan to use him to cast a sword and give it to the king of Chu as a birthday gift, do you think it is feasible?"

"It is feasible, the king of Chu loves swords like an idiot, if he can find a skilled master to forge a sword, the king of Chu will definitely be happy."

Xuan Yin nodded: "I called you here today for this matter." I've found a master swordsmith. If you take this dark iron and ask him to forge a sword, I can rest assured. ”

Sheng Ting responded: "The subordinates will live up to the expectations of the world." ”

……

Meng Fang was the captain of the Sheng Ting's guards and had followed Sheng Court for many years.

This time, Sheng Ting took him to Los Angeles to find a blacksmith named Yu Jing.

Listening to Yu Jing, this person is young and promising, and he easily refuses to build weapons for others, and only builds one piece a year, but the products are all divine soldiers.

Moreover, Los Angeles is not a territory of the Southern Lands, and even the prince is not sure that he will be able to invite this person to build weapons for him.

In order to show sincerity, so Sheng Ting personally took the treasure of the century-old Xuantie to go, presumably this person couldn't help but want to forge it by himself when he saw the rare Xuantie in the world.

When he came, the Mongolian side had already asked for directions, pointed to a large avenue on the left, and said, "General, go this way." ”

As soon as the Meng side shouted the general, it attracted Lu Rao's sideways.

Sheng Ting instructed in a deep voice: "Don't call me a general here, it's not Nandi after all." ”

"Yes, sir. It's me who is quick to talk. Meng Fang smiled, "This sword-forging master is really different, don't ordinary masters like to retreat to the mountains and forests alone?

I thought he would live in the mountains, but I didn't expect to live next to a temple at the foot of the mountain, with a group of monks as neighbors. ”

"It's not good, lest we spend a lot of effort looking for it."

"That's right, you don't need to ask for directions, just on the first day of this new year, many good men and women go to the temple to worship Buddha, let's just follow."

Sheng Ting nodded: "Let's go quickly." ”

He was tall and big, and his steps were also big, but as he walked, he suddenly stopped, and froze in place as if struck by lightning.
