Inside the meeting hall.

Gu Xing and Che Wenwei each sat down on the two seats of the guest of honor, and the table in front of them was already full of refreshments.

"In the next time, there is a gift."

Gu Xing took out the Ziqing Sword from the space and handed it to Han Yebai beside him, asking him to present it on his behalf.

Che Wenwei deserved to like weapons to the extreme, and the moment the sword was taken out by Gu Xing, his eyes were completely attracted.

From the sword being transferred to Han Yebai's hand in Gu Xing's hand, and then being held in front of him, his gaze never moved off the sword.

Even Gu Xing's explanation didn't respond in the slightest, I don't know how much he listened.

"This sword is called Ziqing, not only is it extremely sharp, but once it hits a living thing, it will be annihilated into ashes."

Gu Xing said.

As he said this, Che Wenwei's gaze was fixed on the dragon-shaped relief on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Gu Xing called in a low voice: "My lord? ”

After about two seconds, Che Wenwei suddenly came back to his senses and said, "I'm sorry, my lord's sword is so good, I lost my honor." ”

Gu Xing smiled dumbly: "My lord's words are serious, my lord likes this sword so much, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be strange." ”

Che Wenwei smiled indifferently, and personally took the sword from Han Yebai's hand, and his eyes were attracted by it again: "There are countless swords in the next reading, and this sword is the most exquisite one I have ever seen in the next." ”

"If you like it, you can try this sword, but don't cut people, otherwise, it will lead to its destruction."

Gu Xingdao.

"Okay."

Che Wenwei nodded, then picked up the sword and said, "Then Master Lao Gu will come to the courtyard with me to try this sword together." ”

Gu Xing also stood up and nodded, "That's nature." ”

The two of them and a group of attendants walked outside the door, and Che Wenwei glanced around the courtyard, and finally selected a large pot of tiger tail orchid.

The plant is more than a meter tall and is growing quite well.

Che Wenwei ordered someone to place it in the middle of the courtyard, and then asked the others to retreat, and he drew his sword and aimed it at the pot of tiger tail orchid.

Che Wenwei slowly raised the sword and said, "This sword is held in your hand, as if there is nothing, it is really exquisite. ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Gu Xing said behind him, "My lord, don't cut the flower pot, otherwise the flower pot will explode and it will easily hurt you." ”

As he spoke, Gu Xing unconsciously took a few steps back.

In case of damage to the pond fish, he should be careful.

However, Che Wenwei laughed, "It's okay, as long as you can see this sword, even if it's injured, it's okay." ”

His words made Gu Xing a little surprised.

This person is so obsessed with this weapon, he is really a sword idiot!

Brush!

A wisp of cold light flashed, and Che Wenwei had already swung his sword and slashed down from top to bottom!

And the tiger tail orchid, like the pot of dwarf pine that Gu Xing chopped, still did not move.

"Huh?"

Everyone on the side grew their mouths in surprise and watched the scene.

At this time, Gu Xing unconsciously took two steps back.

His movements, in the crowd, appeared somewhat conspicuous.

And when the crowd turned their heads to look at him—

Bang......!

There was a sudden explosion, which shocked everyone, and their eyes shifted to Che Wenwei!

At this moment, everyone discovered that the pot of tiger tail orchid had all turned into powder, and the flower pot also carried the soil and fell heavily on Che Wenwei.

In that way, Gu Xing looked at it and it hurt.

But Che Wenwei didn't care at all.

He stared at the scene, at first stunned, then laughed.

"Hahahaha, hahaha! This sword is truly a peerless sword! ”

No, it's just a Xuan-grade sword.

Gu Xing complained in his heart.

But forget it, don't disturb his Yaxing.

Looks like this guy is better than he thought he could do.

Just a Xuan-grade sword, he likes to look like this, and he doesn't hide it at all......

Of course, it is also possible that he is too happy to hide it......

In short, it can be seen that this sword has won his heart.

After trying the sword, Che Wenwei closed the sword very carefully, holding the sword in both hands, and couldn't put it down, from the courtyard to the time he walked back to his position, he kept staring at the sword.

After looking at it for a long time, he reluctantly handed it over to the attendant beside him.

He clasped his hands into fists and said, "This sword is really the best, Che Mou thank you Lord Gu." ”

"Adults like this sword, that's the blessing of this sword."

Gu Xingdao.

Che Wenwei smiled slightly embarrassedly, and said: "Che Mou came to Xi Jian quickly, but I didn't expect the adult to be able to predict the prophet and send the gift to Che Mou's heart, which made the adult smile." ”

"It's good that adults don't think my gift is smiling and generous."

Gu Xing said modestly: "Yesterday, I heard that the adults were interested in our army's sabre, so I guessed that the adults should like the sword, so I gave this sword to the adults. ”

Gu Xing said this to avoid him suspecting that he was spying on him.

As for whether he believes it or not...... Then it doesn't matter.

Because at this moment, there are only two objects he can cooperate with, either Hegou County Zun, or himself, as long as he is not stupid, he will make a choice.

Sure enough, there was no suspicion in Che Wenwei's eyes, he nodded with a polite smile, and said, "This sword is extremely valuable, and my lord is so generous, I don't know what to give in return." ”

"Eh, my lord said that, I saw the outside, Gu came this time, I made friends, between friends, what do you talk about in return and don't return gifts, what do you say, my lord?"

As soon as Gu Xing said this, Che Wenwei also smiled and nodded again and again, "Lord Gu is right, since they are friends, naturally there are not so many foreign words. ”

After that, he raised his hand and signaled: "Come, you're welcome, Master Gu, just treat it as your own home, enjoy it as you like." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Gu Xing replied quietly.

Gu Xing enjoyed a piece of dim sum in front of him, it tasted pretty good, and as soon as he finished eating, Che Wenwei spoke: "I have heard the name of Lord Gu a long time ago, it seems that adults like to suppress bandits and eliminate demons?" ”

Gu Xing sat up straight.

Che Wenwei, sure enough, is a player.

Since they are all players, there are not so many twists and turns, if there is something to say, it is straightforward.

"Me too, for the sake of people's livelihood."

Gu Xingdao, "The mountain bandits have repeatedly harmed the masses, and if they are not eliminated, it will lead to a permanent disaster." ”

"You're right."

Che Wenwei said, "It's just that the world is hot and cold now, everyone is busy attacking the city, if you can't occupy the territory in front, I'm afraid that the next step will be annexed by others." ”

"Well, that's true."

Gu Xingfu made a miserable gesture, "Hey, the matter of suppressing bandits is really troublesome, and it has damaged many of my officers and soldiers, not to mention, and it has also delayed time...... I wouldn't have done it if I had known. ”

Gu Xing's pretense at this time was premeditated.

If he had sent troops in the near future, he would have been able to send a total of 1,600 officers and soldiers under his command, while it is normal for a normal county town to have 1,000 officers and soldiers.

He now plans to cooperate with Che Wenwei and Hegou County at the same time, on the one hand, he can only send 800 officers and soldiers, claiming that the remaining 200 officers and soldiers will stay behind, and the other party may say, is it necessary for so many officers and soldiers to stay behind?

Wouldn't it be reasonable for him to claim that he had lost 100 officers and soldiers in the suppression of bandits, leaving 100 officers and soldiers behind and 800 officers and men participating in the war?

Che Wenwei smiled and comforted Gu Xingdao without any doubt: "It is good to be able to clear those bandits in advance, and the development of the county will definitely get better and better in the future." ”

Gu Xing nodded regretfully, "I can only think like this now." ”

When Gu Xing spoke, he glanced at him, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.

Che Wenwei had a bit of schadenfreude in his eyes.

He was like this, and Gu Xing not only felt angry, but felt happy.

Because the more he is, the more he proves that he is convinced of what he says.

While talking, the wine and food also came up.

"Come, Master Gu, just enjoy it as you like, toast, you don't need it."

Che Wenwei greeted Gu Xing happily, looking quite easy-going.

And Gu Xing also responded to him happily: "Thank you Lord Che for your hospitality." ”

Both of them were happy and seemed to be happy, but in fact, the happiness of the two people was not on the same channel at all.

Che Wenwei smiled: "Master Gu is too polite, since we are friends, we don't need to be so polite." ”

Gu Xing nodded.

He wasn't too polite, but he wasn't prepared to eat too much food or drink too much.

I had to ride a horse when I went back.

"Master Gu, you try this purse tenderloin, it's absolutely delicious."

"And this dish of birds and phoenixes, you must like ......"

……

Che Wenwei said some words of hospitality, and then got to the point.

"Lord Gu, to the south of Sanhan County, there is a county seat, called Luozhi County, the territory is not small, I am afraid that I will not be able to capture it alone, if Lord Gu can help......"

Gu Xing was overjoyed.

I thought that I would have to deal with him for a while, or, after this meeting, he would send someone to talk about cooperation next time.

I didn't expect it to be done so quickly!

Gu Xing hurriedly replied with a smile: "My lord has this kind of ambition, as long as I follow, I'm afraid that there will be no meat to eat?" ”

"Hahaha!"

Che Wenwei laughed, and after a pause, he raised his hand again and beckoned, "Master Gu, eat vegetables, eat." ”

Gu Xing nodded at him with a smile and continued to enjoy the feast.

Halfway through the banquet, Che Wenwei said: "Lord Gu, since we are all friends, shouldn't your county and Sanhan County have more contacts, so as to make it more convenient for the people?" ”

"My lord, that's right."

Gu Xing put down his chopsticks and said, "I hope our correspondence is secret." ”

"Oh?"

Che Wenwei looked puzzled.

"My lord just said that the top priority now is to conquer the city, if we cooperate, the force can naturally be improved a lot, but "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says, know yourself and know the enemy, win all battles, if the other party thinks that you are actually attacking only your army, will you relax your vigilance?"

As soon as Gu Xing said this, Che Wenwei immediately nodded in understanding.

"What Master Gu said makes a lot of sense."

Gu Xing nodded quietly.

In fact, I was thinking in my heart, you are really so foolish, the other side knows that it is the army of one of your counties, and there will be fewer soldiers to resist? Not at all, this way, there may not be many advantages.

Well, if the biggest advantage is that secret cooperation is not easy for other interested people to hear the information.

Of course, this is also his purpose, in case his Aquaman behavior is discovered, won't it be over?

"Oh yes."

Che Wenwei seemed to remember something, "The knives that the adults equipped the officers and soldiers with are really exquisite, where did you get them?" ”

"Oh, this knife."

Gu Xing pondered, "This knife was created by a skilled craftsman I got by chance, but this knife is complicated when it is made, and it takes a long time, and it takes seven or eight days for the craftsman to take the apprentices together, and he can only build more than a hundred." ”

"Ah......h

Che Wenwei looked embarrassed, "This speed is really a little slow." ”

"But now that we've developed a new way to build it, it's much faster."

Gu Xing smiled and said, "As long as there are eight ordinary swords of officers and soldiers, one can be made in ten minutes, which is still very fast." ”

Hehe, aren't you curious? You know that if you want me to help you, if you help you, how can you do it without charging a little interest?

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Xing said this, Che Wenwei looked embarrassed.

That's eight! The cost is too high!

At this moment, Gu Xing spoke again.

"It's a bit expensive, but I think that as long as you can build it successfully, your army's advantage will be greatly enhanced! As the saying goes, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill, and sometimes, it is the details that determine success or failure. ”

"Makes sense."

Hearing this, Che Wenwei nodded again and again.

Gu Xing curled the corners of his lips.

His words are not the main purpose.

The main purpose is the next sentence.

"A few days ago, I asked the craftsman to try it out with a waste weapon, and two of the waste weapons in a room can be made. Although the loss is a bit high, and the time taken is a little longer, but it is quite powerful to turn waste into treasure. ”

Sure enough, hearing Gu Xing say this, Che Wenwei's eyes lit up instantly.

"Turning waste into treasure? That's great! ”

Then, he hurriedly said: "In that case, when I collect the waste weapons and send them to you, please ask your craftsmen to help me make a few when they are free, at least replace them for the guards around me." ”

"Okay, don't worry, I'll send it to you as soon as possible."

Gu Xing said with a smile.

He knew that Che Wenwei would not easily send away his weapons, so his purpose was actually those scrap iron.

No, it just so happens that there are more generals around him now, and he can't match them without unparalleled weapons?

Now, you don't have to worry about the craftsman's creation schedule not keeping up, just turn waste into treasure and synthesize a few peerless weapons, how simple.

And in fact, from the beginning, Gu Xing didn't plan to help Che Wenwei's officers and soldiers synthesize a hundred refining swords.

Because although these officers and soldiers will have to be his sooner or later, they will also have to go through a real war! If someone uses someone else's weapon and causes you to suffer casualties during the war, it is not digging your own grave.
