Chapter 20: The Pavilion of Weapons
In the Chu family's weapons pavilion, the three-storey small attic with carved beams and painted buildings is full of all kinds of weapons, knives, guns, swords, boring, sticks, forks, rakes, whips, maces, hammers, axes, hooks, sickles, and pickpockets. The workmanship is meticulous, everything is exquisite, and the use of good black iron, and it is made by Nanyang famous craftsmen, and each piece is worth a lot of money.
The degree of the Chu family's local tyrant really amazed Xi Yao, she carefully touched the weapon with a faint golden light, and her eyes were as bright as a cat seeing a mouse.
She knew that in ancient times, those who could afford to use weapons were certainly not idle, not to mention the high cost of cast iron, and a good blacksmith could not be trained overnight, and its rarity was even greater. And each of the weapons hanging in Chu Sheng's house is a fine product, although Xi Yao doesn't understand the advantages and disadvantages of weapons, but looking at the cold light on it, he knows that it must be a masterpiece that sharpens iron like clay.
There are dozens of pieces hanging on the wall on just one floor, and the three floors add up, if you sell them in the market... She couldn't imagine how much she could earn.
Chu Sheng led her in, pointed to the golden weapon on the wall, and said, "Just choose one you like." ”
So generous, whatever you choose?
After Xi Yao deeply sighed at the heroic spirit of the Grand Prince of Xia Chu, he began to carefully select the weapons that suited him on the wall.
She touched the Fang Tian painting halberd of the crescent blade, and shook her head, women are not stronger than men, this thing is big and bulky, it is definitely inconvenient to fight on the battlefield, but it will give the enemy a chance to take advantage of.
She touched the long sword that was as red as fire, the blade was sharp, and the sound of the knock was loud, and the hardness could be seen. But she is not good at using a sword, and it is inconvenient to wear it on her body, and she will attack people with spiritual fire in the future, so she has to choose a weapon with strong support.
In the end, she set her eyes on the long whip hanging in the corner, which can be curved or straight, small and convenient, and can be placed in her pocket, and if she uses it well, her attack power is not smaller than that of a long sword or a halberd. If you look closely, this whip is also painted with phoenix-like lines, several meters long, which can be fought from afar or closely, which is suitable for you.
"That's what I chose. Xi Yao took off the long whip from the hook and swung it left and right, finding that it was very handy, as if it was tailor-made for herself.
Chu Sheng nodded with satisfaction, "Small and convenient, suitable for women." ”
After choosing the weapon, the two of them went out of the attic, and they were about to have their own rooms, but Xiyao always had something in her heart, and she was a straight intestine, if she didn't ask, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep in the last time tonight.
"Come to the training ground tomorrow morning with your long whip, don't be late. Chu Sheng gave the order, and was about to turn around and go back to the room when he was stopped by Xi Yao.
"Chu Sheng. She pointed to the black and red piece on his silver-white robe, and finally asked, "Who was trying to kill me?" and why were you hurt?"
Chu Sheng is not only strong in martial arts and proficient in various martial arts, but also a rare ability who can skillfully manipulate the water element. He was injured, could it be that there were people in the entire Nanyang City who were more powerful than him?
Chu Sheng was stunned, he didn't expect Xi Yao to ask about this, he sank his gaze, and said lightly: "That person's target is me, not that he wants to kill you, but seeing that you are standing at the door of the Chu family in the middle of the night, you must be connected with the Chu family, which involves you." This is one of them, so don't just Chu Mansion in the middle of the night. ”
"What about the second one?" Xi Yao wanted to know more about the second than the first.
"Second..."He pondered for a moment, but still didn't speak, looked at the gradually whitening sky, and said, "Everyone has a little secret, doesn't Xiyao have a secret?"
Her heart tightened, and her first reaction was that the identity of the traverser was exposed, but then she felt that it was impossible, Chu Sheng's observation was amazing, she knew, but this imagination... I'm afraid there is still a deficiency, a boring person like Chu Sheng will definitely not have such a thing as a brain hole.
Listening to Chu Sheng's tone, he should be in a good mood, not like something big had happened, so he said thoughtfully: "The matter of the Chu family...... It can't be counted as a secret. ”
Chu Sheng really turned his head to look at her, his eyes were still faint, and there was no murderous aura, "Oh, what do you know, let's hear it." ”
Xi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the secret of the Chu family was not Chu Sheng's reverse scale, so she was relieved to boldly tell everything she knew.
Although the Chu family is the gate lord nobles of the Tiansheng Dynasty and the important ministers of the court, they have nothing to do with the governance and establishment of the country, but they are actually the assistants of the royal family secretly to help the dynasty eradicate the dark forces, so they also have to see the family that is not in sight.
Chu Sheng hummed, nodded and shook his head: "That's right, but it's not all right." ”
Xi Yao was stunned, it turned out that Qiong Lin didn't know everything, it seems that Mo Bai's words are right, living in Tiansheng Palace, this is really an unreliable.
Chu Sheng didn't correct or add anything, he only told Xi Yao not to think nonsense, hurry back to sleep, and don't be late for training tomorrow, so he turned around and went back to the room.
Although he didn't know where Xi Yao came from, if Xi Yao wanted to become a sharp blade by his side in the future, she would know sooner or later what the Chu family was secretly doing, whether it was Pisces Jade Pendant, spy cultivation and intelligence collection, but now the time has not come, and there is still a lack of fire.
......
Failed to understand Chu Sheng's thoughts, Xi Yao thought that she must not be able to sleep, but I don't know if it was the reason for staying up late, she slept very soundly last night, it was dawn when she opened her eyes, and she hurriedly ate breakfast and rushed to the training ground with a long whip.
Chu Sheng didn't come today, and it was Mo Bai who was waiting for her on the field, dressed in a black and blue suit, but with a fluffy scarf around her neck, Xi Yao then remembered that late autumn had passed, and it was already early winter. But she didn't realize it at all, and she didn't feel cold at all in early autumn clothes.
"I heard that you got a weapon from Childe, and the long whip is the most suitable for women, so we can also use weapons when we learn martial arts in the future. Mo Bai said with a light smile.
"You're well-informed. Xi Yao quipped, "Maybe I'm better than you with a weapon." ”
Mo Bai's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Xiyao's news is not bad, the task assigned by today's son is that you and I will fight with weapons, and you will not be allowed to sleep until you have played a hundred rounds." ”
Xi Yao suddenly fell, a hundred rounds! I'm afraid that before she finished the fight, she would already have a blue nose and swollen face, and her waist and legs were paralyzed.
It was just a joke!
"That's right. Mo Bai stopped her, looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "How about the matter of Lechuan Pavilion last time?" Gongzi seems to have plans to take you to other countries to participate in missions recently, I advise you not to go to Duckweed Mountain, the place where you eat people has no return, it is better to stay in Chu Mansion and think about it in the long run." ”
Xi Yao knew that Mo Bai was also kind, but this other world seemed to have magical powers, the longer she stayed in the Chu Mansion, the more she would forget her original way of life, she was afraid that after a long plan, she would never want to go back, what would her parents do at that time? What should she do with her ideal goal?
In desperation, Xi Yao had to smile and lie that she hadn't thought about it yet.
