Chapter 8 There are knives and green scales

A howling wind swept past his ears, ruffling the fine black hair on his sideburns.

The blue sky was spotless, and the white clouds rolled and changed, moving forward rapidly, leaving a cloud of shadows on the ground that walked leisurely. The pale white three and a half circles of arcs crowd the small half of the sky, and there is a faint amount on it, which seems to be virtual and real, making people think about it and want to explore it.

In fact, someone had been watching them for hours.

The javelin-like figure was firmly planted on the wide and flat city wall, and a suit of armor was draped all over the body, exuding a faint blue-gold color, showing the killing meaning of the battlefield in the sunlight.

The figure was not wearing a helmet, and his long black hair was tightly tied behind his head, but so, under the blowing of the chaotic wind, the fine hair on the sideburns had long been freed from the restraints, floating high and moving with the wind.

The slightly tilted head remained motionless, staring at the sky, silent for a long time, and never moving a single step.

"The Major General is really elegant!"

At this moment, a small but steady footsteps came from behind.

The figure in front of him still didn't move, didn't turn around, still staring at the sky.

"Major General Gui, what do you say is up there?" asked the figure in front of him slowly.

The man in the back slowly walked to the front, juxtaposed with the figure in front of him, and followed the gaze of the man in front of him to the corner of the sky.

"According to the ancient books, it is desolate and uninhabited. ”

"So how can people go up to the top, and how did the ancients know that there is no one up there?"

"That's a problem, the major general is stumped to be a brother. But, having said that, why should a major general care about such boring and ethereal things? Why don't the major general set his sights on the great rivers and mountains under his feet?"

Major General Gui also has a point. Finally, the figure in front of him retracted his gaze and turned slightly to look at the distant sky.

I saw that in the distant sky, a faint black line loomed, almost imperceptible. The black line rises and falls, winding in both directions, with no beginning and no end.

"Has Major General Gui ever been to Chengdu?"

"I've been to Chengdu before, I went with the army a few times before the war, and sometimes I would pass through Chengdu when I went to the east. ”

"The major general must have never entered Chengdu?"

"Indeed!"

"Actually, there is nothing special about Chengdu, in fact, Chengdu is very similar to the wind. At the beginning, both started construction at the same time, and they were not far from each other, so the difference was not too big. ”

Just then, a herald came up to the two major generals.

"Major General Mu, Xiao Shuai is invited. The herald bowed to Mu Yi and said.

"To be favored by Xiao Shuai, the major general is brilliant. Major General Guiyun said on the side.

"Brother has won the award, Xiao Shuai should have a new plan. Mu Yi said.

The traces of the wind and rain years are carved all over the streets and alleys of the wind capital, there is hardly a single figure in the empty and lonely streets, most of the shops on the street are closed to customers, and occasionally a business is only the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter and pretending to sleep.

The war has lasted for many years, and the people who should go have long been gone, and there are also those who are unwilling to go, after all, their ancestors have lived here for generations, born in Sri Lanka, and grew up in Sri Lanka, and the local people are always difficult to give up.

However, there is not much of a problem in living here, although the war is cruel, but it cannot affect the capital, the only thing to worry about is often the garrison in the city, but this is not much of a problem; the garrison with strict military orders is still trustworthy, and the occasional petty man is finally dealt with according to the rules.

Mu Yi rode his horse and walked on the street, looking around at the depressed scene on the left and right. Occasionally, you can see a group of soldiers hurrying forward.

Followed by Mu Yi were the generals of several cavalry guard battalions, and within the wind capital, there was generally no need to guard against the enemy's assassination, of course, this possibility was not ruled out.

The Dushuai Mansion is located in the west of the city in the Fengdu, and Mu Yi and his entourage rode their horses for half an hour before they arrived at the front gate of the Shuai Mansion.

Turning over and dismounting, Mu Yi raised his legs and walked towards the Shuai Mansion.

The Marshal's Mansion is not very grand, and even compared to some of the buildings in the city, it is often inferior. A bluestone building that does not occupy a large area, the bluestone is the same as the stone used to build the capital, and it is as square as the wind capital, a handsome mansion, as high as two floors, and can barely be called a small city.

Although it is a small city, it is not something that can be captured by idle troops.

The four walls of the Shuaifu are full of crossbow holes, and the entire Shuaifu is empty around it, but there is wind and grass, and there must be crossbow arrows all over the sky, without heavy armor, and I don't want to get close to the Shuaifu within a hundred zhang.

The upper floor and the surrounding area of the Shuai Mansion are also full of guards, building the entire Shuai Mansion like an iron wall.

Mu Yi, who had been to the Shuai Mansion countless times, naturally walked into the mansion. The guards at the gate only briefly checked and let them go.

Enter the house and go through the inner walls. Mu Yi went straight to the door of Du Shuai's study. Du Shuai usually discussed the military situation with the generals and soldiers in the hall, but if there was nothing else, Du Shuai usually stayed in his study.

"Subordinate Mu Yi asked to see Xiao Shuai. Mu Yi stood outside the door and said respectfully.

"Come in!" a calm, somewhat lazy voice came from the room.

Gently pushing open the door, Mu Yi walked into the study.

In front of the desk, a scribe-like man in his fifties wearing a blue cloth robe was sitting in front of the desk, holding a book in his hands and reading carefully.

Mu Yi caught a glimpse of the title of the book "Jun Tianzhi", and the book had been turned over half thick.

And the person who reads is naturally the famous Fengdu handsome Xiao Sui, but Xiao Sui's dress is far from the majestic and heroic hair who strategizes on the battlefield in peacetime.

Mu Yi didn't say anything more, just quietly waited for Xiao to finish reading a chapter of the book.

After a long time.

"Major General Mu's cultivation has risen again, and he is really the only martial arts wizard he has seen in his life. Xiao Sui slowly closed the book in his hand, slowly raised his head and said.

"Xiao Shuai has an overreputation, and this is only in the last war, in the battle array, fighting with people occasionally gained. Mu Yi said.

"You're good in everything, but you're too modest, and young people need to be high-spirited and courageous. Being too modest isn't necessarily a good thing either. Xiao stood up from his seat.

"The subordinates remember Xiao Shuai's teachings. Mu Yi bowed and said.

"Forget it, it's useless to say it, maybe it's your temperament that makes it easy to comprehend the essence of martial arts. If you were too aggressive, you might not be where you are today. Xiao said.

"I called you here this time because I have a task for you to do. After the last war, there will be no major battles between the two capitals in the short term, and there will be no battles for the time being. Xiao Sui said again.

However, the king needs to know all the recent battles so that he can plan for future battles. Therefore, your mission this time is to return to the sister capital, be questioned, and replenish the garrison of Fengdu. Xiao continued.

"The subordinates understand. Mu Yi said.

"There's one more thing, it's my personal business. Xiao Sui said as he turned around and pulled out a sealed letter from his desk.

"This is a letter to my old friend and sister Du Shuai, and I must hand it into his hands. Xiao Sui put the letter in his hand into Mu Yi's hand and said.

Walking out of the Shuai Mansion, Mu Yi was still very confused in his heart, thinking about Xiao Sui's expression when he put the letter in his hand just now, it was very incomprehensible. I don't know what the hell is going on.

Throwing away all the doubts in his mind, Mu Yi looked up at the sun in the middle of the day, turned over his horse, and galloped towards the north of the city.

Stopping the galloping wildebeest, Mu Yi dismounted again and walked towards the quartermaster in front of him.

All the weapons and armor in the battlefield around Fengdu are manufactured and distributed by the quartermaster battalion, so the so-called quartermaster department is not just a small workshop; you must know that all the weapons and armor of millions of troops in the entire Fengdu come from here, so the entire quartermaster department also occupies an extremely large area, even in the entire Fengdu, except for a few large military camps, it is the largest quartermaster's office.

Passing through the city gate, after inspection, Mu Yi walked into this hot place.

Groups of soldiers were either transporting finished weapons or truckloads of raw fuel mines, and the entire street was full of soldiers.

On both sides of the street, shirtless craftsmen sweated like rain, and the sound of shouting mixed with deafening percussion spread throughout the street and beyond.

Although it looks chaotic, in fact, the whole process is orderly, the ore is sent to the stone, into the furnace smelting, quenching and shaping, each performing its own duties, each craftsman department is arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the street, and finally forms a huge conveyor line, and the weapons and armor are endlessly output and distributed.

Mu Yi didn't stop on the street, and walked straight to another well-guarded building.

As soon as he entered, an old man with gray hair and high spirits greeted Mu Yi. The old man's face was dark and slightly black and red, obviously smoking, scorching on the edge of the fire, and it would only be like this for many years.

"Major General Mu is here to get his own blade?I just entered the furnace last night to remelt, and it just cooled down at this time!" the old man smiled and wrinkled all over his face.

"Thank you, Master Fei. Mu Yi sincerely thanked.

"Major General Mu doesn't have to be polite, it's a great pleasure to be able to smelt and cast such a large piece of lapis lazuli. The old man led Mu Yi and said as he walked inside, "Just thinking of such a piece of gold and stone, being ruined like that, makes people angry just thinking about it." ”

The old man obviously hated the person who wasted the golden stone, and he was eager to beat him to dissipate his anger.

Mu Yi was embarrassed for a while, of course he didn't dare to say it to the old man, the person who ruined the golden stone was himself. If he did this, according to the old man's fiery temper, even if he didn't beat him, he wouldn't give him a good look.

In this way, Mu Yi was speechless, so he had to be silent.

Soon, the old man took Mu Yi into a smelting room.

This smelting room is exclusive to the elderly and is a place dedicated to smelting precious ores.

Walking to the edge of the sink on the side of the smelting furnace, Mu Yi found that the water in this tank was flowing, and it should be water brought up from a certain dark river or spring.

And in the water there is a knife stuck in it.

"Major General Mu, please try!" the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at the knife.

Holding the handle of the knife, without the slightest wave, Mu Yi pulled the knife out of the water.

I saw that the room was full of blue light, like a dream, sprinkling a piece of blue brilliance.

Mu Yi took a closer look, only to see that the blade was more than one meter long, different from the general military standard knife, this knife is slender all over, only a little wider than an ordinary sword, the tip of the knife is naturally curved, and the blade on both sides is full of vertical and horizontal grooves, at first glance, it seems to be hollowed.

On the top of the blade, if you look closely, you will see a faint color of blood skimming.

The whole knife didn't look very heavy in your hand.

"The blade of this knife is smelted and recast from the green gold knife provided by Major General Mu, and the blade is mixed with the red gold rewarded by Xiao Shuai; The old man on the side introduced Mu Yi with a proud smile on his face.

Holding the knife in his hand, the more Mu Yi looked at it, the more he liked it. Turning around, he bowed deeply to the old man next to him,

"Please also ask the master to give a name. ”

"Okay, this knife is called Green Scale!"
