Chapter 101: A Sword to Buy (Part I)
In October, I went up the road, and by mid-November, there really wasn't much going on
Along the way, Fang Xin could not be regarded as flattery, but also taken care of, and if there was any inconvenience, he paid for it, even if it was a guard, he also got some benefits.
Moreover, with the recovery of qi day by day, and Fang Xin at this time, since he is not a county magistrate, he naturally refuses to put this official authority, indifferently and calmly, only the bearing of a scholar remains, and the body is full of holy power and aura, and there is no impurity, rich and handsome, but the so-called belly has poetry and calligraphy from China, and the distance is as dignified as a mountain, and it is dusty up close.
Therefore, whether it is the high father-in-law or the guard, the more they get along, the more they admire, this person is a leader, and he is only nineteen years old, he became a viscount, and became a positive six products, although due to the huge family of the clan and nobles, this promotion is not unprecedented, but among the ministers, it is already rare.
At the time of separation, Fang Xin invited a banquet again, and offered some silver taels, not as much as last time, and also expressed his heart, so the two teams said goodbye.
At this time, the itinerary has reached the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is Tangjiang Mansion.
Tangjiang Mansion, once the capital of Yan State, which competed with Great Chu for the world and was founded for 11 years, is now the capital of Dongning Province.
There are three gates in the west of the city, enter the city from the small gate, you can see the lake in the city, there are not many residences along the lake here, but each one is a pavilion and a tree, deep and beautiful, when it is the residence of the officials in the city, and the rich people are not qualified.
The lake is three miles long and half a mile wide, and the waterway leads directly to the palace of Xiangping County, where a piece of forbidden land is strictly forbidden for idle people to approach, and those who violate the prohibition are sent to the official for investigation.
Liu Xiang, the prince of Xiangping County, is one of the founding fathers, and this mansion covers an area of 500 acres. But the so-called deep palace, outside the city, there are 50,000 acres of jue land, and there are three battalions of government soldiers.
Liu Xiang is good at fighting, has made great contributions, and has been crowned the king of the county, and the hereditary line is not replaced. He also knows how to advance and retreat, and has a good end, which is envied by others.
The king of the county is a good product, and the founding of the country is even higher, see you. Even the prime minister has to bow his hand, it has been passed down for four generations, if Fang Xin is a six-rank official, he may not be able to see the prince if he asks to see him, but he can ask for a knighthood, but. It doesn't make sense, and it might get you in some trouble.
When he entered the city, Fang Xin did not wear official clothes, so he took everyone on the street, and saw that the streets were distributed like cobwebs, the voices of people were noisy, and the pedestrians were rubbing shoulders one after another.
When I arrived at the lake, I saw the first floor, a monument in front of the building, and there was a zhang high. The stele base is three levels, the big bluestone is carved exquisitely, and the above is the holy decree of Taizu praised by the king of Xiangping County, which anyone can watch.
As I walked, it was dark in a short time. It was already approaching dusk, and at this time, the wind was already blowing with a chill, and the group walked and saw the street. The lights began to come on.
"Lord?"
"Just call me son, you don't have to show it." Fang Xin said, Lord, only those who have a title can be called like this, and it is too ostentatious to say: "Let's find a better inn." ”
Tangjiang Mansion is looking for a hospitable hotel. Of course it's easy. It didn't take much time to find one.
See his bearing and attendants. At the moment, the man was led to a courtyard, which had a main room and a wing room, and when he entered the main room, he saw that the room had its own bed tent, and it was no longer a fire pit in the north or southwest, and there was a table and a few piers in the room, and there was a stove on the stove, and a teapot was adjusted on the stove.
Inside the teapot are four teacups of the same quality as the teapot.
Opening to the south, there are two long windows, the outer layer is carved panes, and the inner layer is a curtain, which allows you to see the outside world.
Moreover, the stove is also burning, which makes the room warm like spring.
In this main room, there is also a small cubicle, which is for the personal maid to live, and it is very convenient to think about it.
Fang Xin was very satisfied, and asked, if he could rent the entire yard, it would be one or two silver a night, and immediately said: "Just this yard, you give my horses good feed, and also arrange for my entourage." ”
"Childe, don't worry, our store will definitely arrange it well, Childe, please wash your feet." The guy called for hot water, Fang Xin soaked his feet, and felt much more comfortable.
Abel also followed, she now, to the outside world, has already said that Fang Xin's maid, the journey is tired, and there is no need to order any more dishes at night, a little order four dishes and one soup, sent to the room, no one is around, Fang Xin ate with her, and then Fang Xin said: "You stay and rest, I'll go out for a walk." ”
"Okay!" Abel yawned and went to bed.
Fang Xin took ten taels of silver and one tael of broken silver, as well as a fifty taels of jiaozi, and went out, at this time, although it was night, the streets were still full of people, and every shop was lit with oil lamps, and even lanterns were put on the rich.
According to the system in the city, this is not a curfew until after the end of the day (nine o'clock in the evening), and at that time, except for officials and officials, whoever comes out must be arrested and beaten.
The scenery at night is also chic, people live by the water, row upon row, on both sides of the street, there are all shops in front of the store and the back house, full of all kinds of goods, come out and walk in the night, there are many people who patronize.
Naturally, it was still early, Fang Xin walked to the bridge, and saw the carving of "Shengfeng Bridge" on it, walking on the bridge, looking at the flowing water below, and just as he wanted to experience it, his ears heard the sound of selling swords.
When Fang Xin heard the word "selling swords", he stopped, and when he looked down, he saw a Taoist priest, sitting on a step under the bridge, with three swords on his lap.
The sword qi rose faintly, Fang Xin is heart moved, and walked over, and when he looked at it again, he could see that although this Taoist priest was restrained, he still couldn't hide it from Yu Ruyi, the inner qi was really as deep as the sea, and he didn't dare to slack off, he arched his hand and said, "Dao Chief's sword, can you please let me take a look?" ”
The Taoist priest looked Fang Xin up and down, his eyes showed a strange light, and he said, "This Xianggong, do you want to see the sword of the poor Dao?" Fang Xin said: "Exactly, this place is not far from my inn, so please ask the Taoist to take a few steps, how about it?" ”
The Taoist priest thought about it and said, "It's okay, look at you, there is also some fate!" ”
At that moment, the two returned to the room, and at this time, Wu Jie and others greeted them, and the Taoist priest swept away, and his expression moved again.
When I got to the room, I lit a candle and it was bright.
Fang Xin asked, "Can the Taoist avoid meat?" ”
The man said, "Of course not. ”
He ordered the guy to serve the dishes again, and the wine was wholeed, Fang Xin ordered a few times, drank it with him, and asked, "What is the number of the Taoist?" And what is the name of these three swords? Can you take a look? ”
The Taoist priest smiled and took out three swords: "The poor road swims in all directions, the number is Aokizi, this sword, you just look at it!" ”
Fang Xin took the three swords, took out the scabbard, and saw a slightly shorter one, with green qi condensed, and there were words on it, it was Qinghua. The second sword, the sword light is simple, and the appearance is the worst, but Yu Ruyi looks at it, but there is a faint purple gas, and there is a word in front of him, which is the hidden abyss, and the third sword is as cold as ice, and there are words on it, but it is an ice sword.
Fang Xin looked at them one by one and thought they were very good, and Yu Ruyi even moved, knowing that they were not ordinary, so he said: "These three swords, how much silver do they cost each?" ”
Aokiko just ate it: "Each bite costs a thousand taels of silver, and you can only buy one."
Fang Xin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "One thousand taels of silver, it's not expensive, why can you only buy one bite?" ”
Aokiko said with a smile: "Childe's words are wrong, if you buy a mouthful, it is already a blessing, and you will be rich and noble in the future, all on this sword, you will naturally have a career." ”
Fang Xin listened, and naturally knew that this was true, these three swords, the feeling he had was a little unfathomable, and he said at the moment: "Only one can be chosen?" ”
"Exactly, whoever you choose, it's your fate, you can choose first, it's already the first opportunity."
Fang Xinyi frowned, looked carefully, the three swords were extraordinary, after thinking about it, he took the "hidden abyss" and said, "Just buy this!" ”
As he spoke, it was a flick, and suddenly the sword aura appeared, and he made a sword groan.
The Taoist priest was stunned, and a trace of surprise floated through his eyes, but he still smiled: "Okay, I'll sell you, and you can take the money!" ”
Fang Xin said: "There is no silver, give a hundred taels of gold!" ”
As he spoke, he instructed Wu Jie to take out a thick wooden box, which contained a hundred taels of gold, a hundred taels of gold, and also weighed ten catties. ”
After speaking, he picked up three more swords, got up and left, Fang Xin hurriedly sent them out, but saw this person come back and said: "Childe, with this sword, it is the great fortune, you will know it in the future." ”
Fang Xin nodded, bowed his hand, and saw him go out, touching the hilt of the sword, Fang Xin's eyes were as deep as water.
The coldness of the sword made him feel cold, and even this thing came out, was it really intentional or unintentional?
"Do you really see us as pawns? With this side of the world? Fang Xin said to himself, and after a while, his eyes turned into condensed: "Hmph, hmph, since you gave it to me, then I'll take it!" ”
