(225) Fanwai IV. - The Great Wall of the Wind Rises
It is now the thirty-seventh year of the Qin calendar, and I have finally sat in the position of deputy general of the Qin division, although it is far away in the north, but it is surprisingly not bad.
I am now an adjutant general of the Northern Qin Division under the command of General Meng Tian of the Great Qin Empire, and I am a descendant of the Gongsun family of the Ying family.
Of course, that was many years ago, and since that incident, I had to leave my hometown, and since then, under the pseudonym Guan Jingfeng, I have climbed step by step to my current position in the army.
I once participated in the War of Unification, when I attacked Zhao with the army of General Wang Qian. This is my most valuable experience, and of course, the biggest reason why I have been able to get to this point.
But these are all in the past, and now my first task is to follow General Meng Tian to defend the northern frontier, and to supervise the peasants and workers to build the Great Wall.
I focused on the map in front of me, the northern part of the empire to be exact. There, it was the territory of the Huns, and the Huns were the biggest enemies of the empire.
General Meng Tian was ordered by the emperor to lead the Qin division north to build the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu. The Qin division was the most powerful army in the empire, and it had made great contributions to the emperor's unification of the world, and now it was entrenched on the line of the Great Wall, so that the Xiongnu could not cross the thunder pool for half a step.
And at this time in the past, the Huns had already begun to reorganize their troops and horses, preparing to go south. As the supreme commander under General Meng Tian, I should also be prepared.
Hey, it's just a barbarian, but it's not to be feared.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the military tent, and I heard as if someone was approaching. Sure enough, soon my guards walked in and reported to me, "Report to the general, there is a merchant outside who claims to be from Xianyang asking to see me. ”
Merchant?How could there be a merchant??? ”
The guard bowed his head and said "no", turned around and left the tent. A short time later, a young man walked in.
This young man has an ordinary appearance, and he is just an ordinary set of big clothes. However, it was interesting that he was holding something tightly wrapped in cloth in his arms. Looks like...... Could it be that it was a sword case?
The young man walked up to me, stood aside to talk about the things, and then bowed to me with a long bow before he spoke, "I've seen General Guan." The contemptible person is Song Qingshan, the shopkeeper of the Xianyang Bamboo Sword Pavilion, who was entrusted by someone to send you a thing to the general. ”
"Oh, could it be that you came all the way here to send me such a thing?" I pointed to the thing beside Song Qingshan and asked lightly.
Bamboo Sword Pavilion I know, it is a very famous weapon pavilion in Xianyang City, and the weapons of many famous generals in the empire are selected from them. And it is said that in the forging process of the emperor's sword Tai'a, the world's number one sword, there is also the shadow of their Bamboo Sword Pavilion.
Of course, this Song Qingshan's identity can't scare me, it's just a businessman, and I can't look down on it.
Faced with my question, Song Qingshan nodded, then gently put the long strip-shaped burden on my bookcase, and then said, "It's this thing, please take a look at it." ”
As he spoke, he untied the fabric, revealing a sword case inside. The sword box is very wide, and even if there are two swords side by side in it, there is still a lot of surplus. It's just that this sword box is a little old, as if it has gone through many years of wind and rain.
Song Qingshan opened the sword box and said to me: "General Guan, this weapon was originally a dusty antiquity in the shop, and many years ago, your father fell in love with it when he went into the shop to select weapons. However, it was General Bai who did not take the weapon. Perhaps General Bai had already anticipated his fate, so he bought this weapon and entrusted it to the contemptible people, and ordered the contemptible people to give it to the general when the time was ripe. ”
"You mean my father, he asked you to give this thing to me?" I didn't look at what was in the sword box, but stared at Song Qingshan with both eyes, "Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I do. Song Qingshan was also looking at me with a faint smile, "The second son of General Gongsun Qi, I'm afraid that except for me, everyone who knows about this matter is old and dead." ”
I leaned forward, and the power in my body began to work, ready to capture Song Qingshan at any time.
"All this was told to the contemptible by General Bai, but it doesn't matter. Song Qingshan still smiled, then knocked on the sword box and said, "General, let's take a look at this." ”
Since it was my father who said it, I will believe him for the time being, after all, except for my father, no one told Song Qingshan this for no reason.
"Wait, I have one more question. I raised my hand to interrupt Song Qingshan's words, and asked again, "You said that my father asked you to give me this thing when the time is right." I want to ask you, now, when is the right time?"
Faced with my question, Song Qingshan still showed a faint smile: "General, you have been here at the border for a long time, and I think you don't know much about the current situation in Xianyang. Did you know that the emperor is old. ”
Needless to say, after Song Qingshan finished speaking, he immediately pointed to the things in the sword box and said, "General, let's take a look at this." ”
I suppressed the surprise in my heart, lowered my head, and took a good look at the soldier...... Well?
I pointed to the strange-looking weapon in the sword case and asked, "What kind of weapon is this?"
The weapon in the sword case is not a sword, but a single-edged weapon with a somewhat curved tip. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and although I am not an all-round martial artist, at least I have been involved in the weapons of the world. As for the weapon in the sword case, I only recognize its sheath placed side by side with it.
The sheath is a thing that suppresses evil, and only the most sinister sword needs a sheath to suppress it. For some reason, I suddenly remembered this sentence, although this thing in front of me is not a sword, but the principle of the sheath is roughly the same, and now the sheath in front of me is used to suppress evil!
Song Qingshan showed a meaningful smile, and he said, "General Bai and the ancestors of the Bamboo Sword Pavilion called it a sword. This knife was inherited from the seventh treasurer of the Bamboo Sword Pavilion. There is a cunning in its scabbard that surpasses my Great Qin, and this knife is a murderous knife, so the contemptible people judge that this knife comes from the hand of Lu Guogong's lost son. General Bai also seems to have studied this well, and he is the only person other than the ancestors of the Bamboo Sword Pavilion who knows that its name is Dao. ”
"Knives?" I muttered, I couldn't believe there was anything else in the world called knives besides coins.
If you look closely, this knife is very beautiful. The slender three-foot blade is unpretentious and unpretentious, without any patterns, but when illuminated by the lamplight, it seems to have a breathtaking charm. Next to the knife was its scabbard, which was pitch black and covered with fish-scale-like iron armor, which seemed to glow dark red in the cracks of the iron armor.
"It is not surprising that the male loser has devoted his life to ingenuity. I nodded and said slowly, "It's just that, depending on the ability of the father-in-law, it is not easy to forge such a knife." Does this knife have a name?"
Song Qingshan nodded, pointed out the pattern on the hilt of the sword, and said, "This is an ancient script, General Bai said, these two words mean Yama. ”
"Yama Dao, good name!"
I reached out and grabbed the hilt of my sword. That's when a vision struck!
With a loud "tom" sound, dozens of halos appeared on the entire body of the Yama Dao out of thin air, and the body of the knife was also covered with lines of blood. And on my arm, two or three halos also appeared, and they actually faintly echoed the aura on the knife body.
Power is surging in my hands, and this power is not only mine, but even more power comes from the Yama Sword.
That's what it is...... Phantom power?
The Yama knife is really a good knife!
