Chapter 129: Cowardice

"If my sister-in-law is really curious about this matter, I will go and ask my father directly, he also happens to have something to tell you today, he is in the study at the moment, and my sister-in-law should remember the way, right?"

"Little sister, later, you can take Mo'er to the hall to put on a stick of incense and bow down."

Zhong Liyi informed Situ Xi that Zhong Liwu wanted to see him, and then arranged for Zhong Liyi to go to the hall to worship, and he stood up by himself and prepared to go out of the mansion.

Father-in-law summoned, Situ Xi did not delay, said a word to Zhong Li, and went directly to the Heart Pavilion.

In the study, Huai Minggong sat alone on the main seat, and there was some noise outside, but he still concentrated on reading the book in his hand.

"Here, sit down."

Zhong Liwu didn't look up, and Situ Xi walked in and sat down on the first futon on his left.

"Your Majesty will probably deal with the matter of Yanfu in ten years."

Situ Xi had just sat down when Zhong Liwu raised his eyes and said such a sentence.

is worthy of being father and son, he and Zhong Liyi both tacitly understood that when they saw him, they first paid attention to their words and deeds in the morning.

"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me."

"Your restaurant business is good, I've heard of it, but when it comes to business, the people under your hands should take care of it, don't be too involved."

Zhong Liwu talked about the matter of Yujiuju again, Situ Xi just nodded silently, Zhong Liwu's words were to let him distinguish the priority.

Judging from the results, Situ Xi did not invest too much energy in Yujiuju, but he was not thinking about anything else, he was just simply lazy, and it was one thing to be less.

He is a layman in trading, and with the help of professionals, it is better for him to interfere less, and it is still okay to occasionally give advice.

"Then there is the book "Three Kingdoms". Zhong Liwu picked up a stack of paper manuscripts from his hand, "Who wrote this book?" ”

Zhong Liwu is indeed very efficient in doing things, his conversations with Situ Xi are always straight to the point, there is almost no nonsense between the words, and things are always said one after another, which sometimes makes the listener feel a little jumpy.

"I had the pleasure of meeting a hermit ......"

But before Situ Xi could explain to him the story of the hermit master he had made up, Zhong Liwu waved his hand at him and interrupted him.

"Well...... I heard you have the whole book there? ”

"If your father-in-law is interested, I'll have someone bring you one tomorrow."

Zhong Liwu nodded, "I've read it a few times three times before, although the stories are scattered, but there are also occasional series, the beginning mentions the war, and there are some heroic stories after that, it seems to be about writing about chasing deer?" ”

Indeed, most of the article is related to struggle, there are wars, there are also intellectual battles, etc., several parties compete for hegemony and compete for the world. Of course, there are some interesting things to do, but I will bring the whole book tomorrow, and my father-in-law will read it by himself. ”

Classics deserve to be classics, Zhong Liwu has inevitably become a fan of this "Three Kingdoms", this is the first time Zhong Liwu has said something to Situ Xi that is not quite a "business", hearing him ask questions related to the story, Situ Xi briefly introduced it to him, and if it is too much, it will be a spoiler, and spoilers are not virtues.

"It's fine." Zhong Liwu nodded slowly, flipped through the manuscript of "Three Kingdoms", and inadvertently asked Situ Xi leisurely, "Do you know about the 'Book of Heaven'?" ”

"Book from heaven?" Situ Xi was a little dazed, he was not unfamiliar with these two words, some myths and legends in his previous life often had the figure of the Book of Heaven, but Situ Xi knew that what Zhong Liwu was talking about was definitely not these mysterious things.

"Don't you know...... Also, with your previous situation in Zhaoguo, I don't think you will come into contact with these, forget it, it's nothing, I called you over, I have something to give you. ”

The blankness on Situ Xi's face was fully seen by Zhong Li, and he didn't plan to continue to ask about it, so he closed the book, he slowly stood up, and told Situ Xi the main purpose of seeing him today.

"Something?"

"Come with me." Zhong Liwu took Situ Xi to the back of the bookshelf on the side, he gently patted the bookshelf, and a long box suddenly popped up on the bookshelf.

"This time you went to Linwa to take office, although you served as a deputy, but you also have an official position, you have no sword, since you came to Chu, I have not given you a gift, today I will be this 'cowardly' with you, this sword is extremely sharp, easy to use."

The sword box opened, and a three-foot sword lay in the box, the sword unsheathed.

This scabbard is unpretentious, pure brown, shrouding the sword body, and the hilt of this sword immediately caught Situ Xi's eyeballs, this sword hilt is pitch black, glowing with a faint luster, its texture is like some kind of jade, and there is a silver veined flower on the hilt, which looks extremely gorgeous.

"Pick it up and look at it." Zhong Liwu pointed to the sword in front of him.

Situ Xi did not hesitate and picked up the sword.

It's so light, so light that people can't believe it, after starting it, Situ Xi's first reaction is that what he is holding in his hand is not a sword, but an empty shell, this feeling is like lifting a package that looks bulging, only to find that it is empty.

Touching the hilt of the sword with his hand, Situ Xi found that the flower painted on it was a mimosa, speaking of which, this sword is called "Cowardice", the meaning of cowardice should be stage fright, or escape from the battle, where is the sword usually named like this, this name is obtained by Zhong Liwu? It's quite individual.

Holding the hilt of the sword, a cold chill came from the palm of his hand, and this coolness seemed to spread to all parts of Situ Xi's body in an instant, and he had a strange feeling all over his body.

"Wow-" Situ Xi pulled out the sword neatly, and with a flash of cold light, he saw the whole picture of the sword clearly.

The smooth sword reflected a glimmer of sunlight, and the blade shook as it touched the scabbard when it was unsheathed, and it let out a soft chirp.

This is undoubtedly a good sword, and a soft one.

"Don't dance the sword in the study, put it away, and enjoy it when you get back." Zhong Liwu walked back to his desk.

Touching the sword body with his hand again, the long sword was sheathed, Situ Xi took the cowardice in his hand, and also returned to his original position and sat down.

"Thank you father-in-law for the gift." Situ Xi thanked him, there would be no ordinary products in Zhong Liwu's collection, he really liked this sword, this sword was obviously not just an ornament, although he didn't have a chance to try the sharpness of this sword, but seeing the glittering luster on its blade, he knew that it was far from being comparable to ordinary swords.

Zhong Liwu shook his head, as if to let him not be polite, and then looked at the book with his head down, and the Heart Pavilion fell into silence, Zhong Liwu was not the first time he had seen this, Situ Xi saw that he didn't seem to have anything else to say, so he was ready to get up and leave.

"Wei Lan is a rare talent, his loyalty does not need to be doubted, if you encounter something you don't understand, you can discuss it with him, but his body is extremely weak, he has been sick all the year round, and he has only improved slightly recently, he is good at wine, this trip will go with you to Linwa, don't let him drink too much."
