The Adamantite Two-edged Knife is not a weapon, but a very scarce ancient coin, which is a piece of pure gold left when Emperor Taizu ordered the Mingren Pavilion to cast the inscription Jiuding at the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This coin was initially set as nine swords and ten cloths, but later due to the limited amount of fine gold left, only nine knife coins and five cloth coins were minted, which were given to the first fourteen of the eighteen princes who laid the foundation for His Majesty Taizu at that time and made the most outstanding achievements.

The sword coin was only circulated for four years in the 300 years of the dynasty, and because of the high cost of minting consumables, it was replaced by a copper plate with the meaning of a round sky, and became the main currency circulated by the common people in addition to gold and silver.

Since the ancient times of nine knives and ten cloth coins, it has become an object collected and played by many royal palace nobles.

Most of the ordinary ancient coins no longer exist, and even if there are few surviving collections, most of them are rusty remnants, so the pure gold two-edged knife in Lu Yao's hand cannot even be described as scarce, but a rare treasure!

After choosing between Zhang Mazi's life and this ancient coin for a long time, under the pressure of me and Master Dog, Lu Yao finally chose to take out this pure gold two-edged knife.

Seeing that Lu Yao was still reluctant, I asked solemnly, "Reluctant?" ”

Glancing at the unconscious pockmarked boy, Lu Yao said coldly at the corner of his mouth: "When the young master comes out of the womb, he is destined to have a bumpy life, if he can't get rid of the body of misfortune and change his life against the sky, he will only have a life expectancy of three years...... Whether you are willing or not, this rare ancient coin is destined to be lost to me sooner or later. ”

It was rare for Lu Yao to be honest in front of me, and I comforted him and said: "Now the military division, vanguard, master book, and tiger general are all under your command, whether you can fight a big world in the future depends on you!" ”

Mentioning this, Lu Yao was as ambitious as usual, patted his chest and said with a smile: "Life should be a masterpiece, and death should be a ghost...... The master threatened to be a stick that stirred up the world, and he couldn't break his word. ”

I rolled my eyes, speechless, not ashamed but proud, in the huge Luoyang City, apart from Lu Yao, I can't find a second person.

I've never seen anyone describe themselves as-stirring sticks, complacent, and smug about it.

Probably seeing that I had been expressionless, Lu Yao was a little embarrassed, he smiled slightly, took out a sandalwood box from the treasure bag, did not hesitate, handed it directly to me, and enlightened himself: "Money and treasures are all things outside the body...... The daughter is gone, and it comes back! ”

Taking the sandalwood box, I carefully opened it, and the pure gold two-edged knife was wrapped in Shu brocade, shining with brilliance.

The size of the thumb of the ancient coin, the material is slightly heavy, the head is like the hilt of a sword, the two tails are like a swallow, and the inscriptions "God's gift" and "Hongfu" are engraved on both sides.

"Last night's poetry meeting, you and Zheng Beiyou, the great-grandson of the Guogong Mansion, met friends with literature, and it can be regarded as not knowing each other, or it is more appropriate for you to exchange this ancient coin for the six-pattern Qingling Pill."

I closed the sandalwood box, I felt that it was inappropriate, the contents of the box were really valuable, I was afraid that there would be a mistake, so I excused myself: "This thing is too valuable, can you rest assured?" ”

"The treasure is certainly moving, but I know better that the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty......" Lu Yao smiled disdainfully, with an indifferent expression.

I admire Lu Yao's freedom and ease, he never regrets his decisions, and he rarely suffers from gains and losses in interests.

"Although the master is still a proton and cannot easily return to Wei Kingdom, he is still a prince and grandson, and it is really not suitable to be committed to the gate of the Duke Mansion."

After instilling the spiritual breath, the dog master saw that Lu Yao and I had not moved for a long time, and said with a slightly solemn face: "The two of you will continue to talk freely, and just collect the body of the pockmarked boy directly!" ”

Hearing this, I realized that I couldn't delay any longer, if I continued to shirk the delay, Zhang Mazi, who was hanging on his breath, estimated that he would really die.

Putting away the sandalwood box containing the two-edged knife of pure gold, I didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, and almost ran with all my strength and rushed out the door.

······

The Guogong Mansion is located to the east of the Imperial City.

The mansion is not big, but it is also quite large-scale, in the eastern capital of Luoyang, where the gate valve gathers and the princes and nobles gather, the Guogong Mansion is the most uneye-catching.

This is not because the remnants of the Guogong Mansion are not as good as in the past, nor is it that the Zheng family is not strong enough to enjoy the qualifications beyond the specifications of ordinary families.

It is really a rule of culture, and the secular Zheng Guogong disdains to use the house built of gold and jade to show the generosity of the gate, and he doesn't want his descendants to lose the poor and unswerving family style.

Confucian sages once said that "Zhumen wine and meat stink, and the road has frozen bones", and if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, which is the mission of the literati.

The Zheng family follows the legacy of the ancestors of the family who are diligent and thrifty, whether it is the old house of the ancestral home or the new mansion that moved to the eastern capital, they are as always streamlined, aiming to establish learning and writings, and self-cultivation and family governance of the country and the world.

Guogong Mansion is a Confucian and Taoist family, in addition to the temple of the Wenchen giant, the Qingfeng Mingyue Tower sits on the Eastern Capital of Confucianism and Taoism, all of them are the most representative Confucian leaders of the dynasty.

Zheng Guogong has written countless books and said, and his scholarship is respected and admired by the scholars of the world, and the students who have entered the official career go to the Guogong Mansion in groups to hand over the post after the imperial examination, not to call themselves "saints" in front of outsiders after asking, but to purely look at the style of the literary giants, and stand up with the style of the Guogong Mansion.

I was in a hurry with the red sandalwood box, and the incident happened suddenly, so I didn't have time to prepare a prayer post in advance.

I hurried to the Guogong Mansion, and in order not to delay the time, I immediately expressed my intention to the doorman in the mansion.

The Guogong Mansion is not more heavily guarded than ordinary mansions, and there are even more majestic stone lions at the door, guarded by guards.

When I expressed my intention to the doorman of the Guogong Mansion and begged him to quickly pass Zheng Beiyou, so as not to delay too long, I did not expect that instead of being clear, the doorman in the palace led me directly through the narrow path to Zheng Beiyou's study.

The Guogong Mansion is simple and simple, and the home is antique and very bookish.

Hearing that Zheng Guogong moved his family to the Eastern Capital, the large and small boxes added up to no less than three hundred, using countless ox carts, and then was looted by a group of thieves on the road, but the thieves snatched the heavy boxes, and found that the boxes were not treasures, but books, and ordered people to return the stolen bookboxes untouched.

This matter is not a joke compiled after dinner, the Guogong Mansion is diligent and thrifty and simple, in addition to the sage book in the house, it is the theory of governing the country, and in the early years, there are students who joked: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the gold is like jade. ”

When I met this Ruyu Gongzi again, I was a little apologetic, and simply arched my hand: "Zheng Gongzi, I took the liberty to go to the mansion and ask for something." ”

When I entered Zheng Beiyou's backyard study, he was holding a copy of "Flashy Travel Collection" in his hand.

This is a travelogue of the geology of mountains and rivers, although it is not an unsuitable book, but it is not a subset of virtuous books.

It can be seen that scholars such as Zheng Beiyou are not limited to the classics of the sages on weekdays, and he is also a wide-ranging reader, and he seems to be quite interested in interesting books such as strange stories.

The boy died as a teenager, and it seems that the reading preference is almost similar to that of the people in the world.

Seeing my visit, Zheng Beiyou put down the book and said with a faint smile: "I have guessed that you will come to the house in three days, and I told the doorman in advance." ”

I was suddenly surprised and asked, "Listening to Zheng Gongzi's tone, how did you expect that I would visit?" ”

Zheng Beiyou had a slightly indifferent smile on his face, motioned for me to sit down first, and arranged for the people in the house to make tea.

"If Lu Yao is not a proton, and there is no misfortune to add to his body, with his personality and temperament, he is not much better than Wang Gongwang...... The hegemony of the eastern capital is not in vain...... I don't expect the Divine General's Mansion to give up! ”

I was so tired that I was sweating all the way, and my body was extremely tired, and I didn't have time at all, and I was not in the mood to say it slowly, so I could only say concisely: "I heard that there is a six-pattern green spirit pill in the house, and now I need this pill to save people's lives, Lu Yaote asked me to exchange this pure gold two-edged knife for this life-saving medicine!" ”

As he spoke, I had already opened the red sandalwood box, displayed the pure gold two-edged knife in front of Zheng Beiyou and said, "Presumably Zheng Gongzi also heard about Fang Cai's movement in Luohe, so he doesn't know ......."

When I spoke, I bowed my head slightly, deliberately lowered my body, and there was a little groveling at this moment, this matter was replaced by Lu Yao, he may not have the quality of being able to bend and stretch like me.

Zheng Beiyou didn't refuse, he didn't even look at it, he closed the red sandalwood box directly, with an indifferent expression.

"It's my honor to be able to meet friends with texts, and to meet someone like Xu Gongzi at last night's poetry meeting......"

I thought that Zheng Beiyou would refuse next, but I didn't expect him to readily agree: "I'll give you this pill, you don't have to worry, I will arrange for someone from the house to send it to Taoliu Lane immediately!" ”

I thought I had auditory hallucinations, so I was so shocked that I quickly looked up at Zheng Beiyou's serious face, and before I could recover from my surprise, he had ordered someone to take the six-pattern Qingling Pill and sent someone to send it immediately.

Fulfilling my mission, I bowed down and almost bent my spine into a bow.

Zheng Beiyou saw that I was making such a big gift, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "You and I are both scholars, so you don't have to be too formal...... With Brother Xu's talent, it is worth giving away this pill for free. ”

The pill is divided into nine grades, and the grade is assessed by the number of dragon patterns, so the important and complicated task of refining the pill has always been refined by the medicine halls with good strength in various places.

It is very rare for the medicine hall to refine six-grade and above-grade elixirs, and the priceless six-pattern Qingling Pill of the Guogong Mansion comes from the national teacher Huang Liang.

At that time, Zheng Beiyou's father, Zheng Nanping, held the festival pass, and sent the sixteen barbarians to lobby the leaders of the tribes.

And this precious elixir has also become Zheng Nanping's last glory!

I knew the preciousness of this elixir, and I didn't dare to say it: "Zheng Gongzi praised it falsely, I am just a cloth cloth, I can't afford such respect, and I hope that Zheng Gongzi will not be tortured again." ”

Zheng Beiyou motioned for me to sit down again, and before I could pick up the hot tea that the servants in the house had just served, he asked me meaningfully, "I wonder if Gongzi Xu has heard of the Phantom Sword Book Alliance?" ”

I took a slight sip of tea, and I was a little unsure of what the kind-faced Ruyu boy in front of me wanted to express, so I had to nod lightly, which was regarded as a positive reply.
