Chapter 011: A Sudden Assassination

The Ji family is the first forging family in Qingyun, and it is an authority in the forging industry, and it is famous in the surrounding neighboring countries.

Over the years, the Xuan-level sword forged by the Ji family has been praised and sought after by masters from all walks of life, and there has never been a problem.

Returns are rare.

It is the first time that a shipment worth two million silver has been returned!

Ji Tianxing asked Ji Hao with a gloomy face: "Second brother, what the hell is going on, who dares to return our Ji family's goods?"

"It's the Gu family. Ji Hao showed a face full of anger, and said indignantly: "The Gu family ordered fifty Xuan-level swords in the Xuanjian Workshop last month, and the negotiated price was two million two hundred and twenty-three thousand. ”

"Yesterday was supposed to be the day of delivery, and the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs notified the Gu family to pick up the goods, but I didn't expect the Gu family to return the goods, and they wanted to return the deposit of 100,000 taels!"

Ji Tianxing immediately understood that the reason why the Gu family wanted to return the goods must be because of Gu Hao's death.

He couldn't help sneering: "If the Gu family wants to return the goods, let them return it, don't want to go back with the deposit!"

"The Xuanbing Sword forged by our Ji family is well-known in Qingyun Country, and there is never a shortage of buyers. Gu family doesn't buy it, some people want to buy it!"

Ji Hao frowned, and said with some concern: "But big brother, this kind of thing has never happened before!"

"If we really let the Gu family return the goods, then after the news spreads, maybe what others will talk about and speculate, there must be someone who slanders our Ji family's sword and has a problem......

"Big brother, I think you should go and take a look, this matter is related to the reputation of our Ji family. ”

Ji Tianxing thought about it silently, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go there myself." ”

With that, he turned and walked out of the courtyard, and asked the family to prepare the horses.

Ji Hao hurriedly followed, "Big brother, I'll go with you!"

A moment later, Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao left the Ji Mansion and rode to the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs.

The Xuanjian Workshop is located on a large mountain in the southern suburbs, more than sixty miles away from the imperial city.

It was not so much a workshop as it was a huge Ji family manor, which occupied half of the mountain.

The Ji family hollowed out the interior of the mountain and built several huge warehouses to store the materials and ores used in the forging.

There is also a large iron-making furnace in the belly of the mountain, and when the furnace burns, it can reflect the sky red, and the clouds will turn red.

There are more than 2,000 laborers and forging apprentices in the workshop, as well as more than a dozen forging masters, who work for the Ji family day and night.

In addition, there are as many as 300 guards guarding the Xuanjian Workshop, including many masters and several strong people.

Anyone who saw the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs would be amazed by its grand scale and momentum.

It took Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao more than an hour to rush to the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs.

After entering the workshop, Ji Tianxing directly found the owner of the workshop, Gu Jian, and asked for details.

Therefore, Jian is Ji Changkong's confidant, and he is also very familiar with Ji Tianxing, and treats him as trusting and enthusiastic as a nephew.

He had long known that Ji Tianxing had become a waste, and after seeing Ji Tianxing, he asked a few words with concern.

After some greetings, Gu Jian said with a solemn face: "Young Master, I personally supervised the construction of these swords, and there is absolutely no problem." ”

"The Gu family's return is also nonsense, and it is quite unreasonable. Now the elders and guards of the Gu family are still sitting in the hospitality hall, look ......"

Ji Tianxing nodded, and said in a cold tone: "In this case, if they want to return the goods, let them return them, and the deposit will be deducted." ”

"From now on, our Ji family will never sell another weapon to the Gu family! As for the fifty swords, we will find another buyer. ”

"Hmph, the sword forged by our Ji family, can't we still worry about selling it?"

Therefore, Jian originally had the same idea, but this matter was very important, and he could only do so if the head of the family, Ji Changkong, or the eldest young master, spoke in person.

Seeing that Ji Tianxing agreed, the sword gave up his orders and went to negotiate with the people of the Gu family.

After dealing with this matter, Ji Tianxing left the workshop with Ji Hao.

It was nearly noon when the two of them descended the mountain, and there was no one on the official road below the mountain, except for the two of them galloping on horseback.

Half an hour later, the two were riding through a green forest.

Ji Tianxing suddenly found that there were several tripping ropes on the official road ten zhang away in front of him, blocking his way.

"Phew!"

Ji Tianxing hurriedly tightened the reins, wanting to stop the galloping white horse under his crotch.

The white horse hissed and ran seven or eight feet away before stopping in front of the tripping horse.

The horse that Ji Hao was riding also stopped beside him, and raised his front hooves high, almost throwing Ji Hao, who was caught off guard.

"Er, be careful! I'm afraid there's an ambush here!"

Ji Tianxing reminded Ji Hao in a low voice, and clenched the Xuan-level high-grade sword on his waist, the Blood Dragon Sword.

Ji Hao immediately understood, and also pulled out the Xuanjin Sword with a "bang", staring around vigilantly.

At this moment, in the dense woods on both sides of the official road, there was a sudden sound of "bang".

In the next moment, six warriors wearing black tights and masked scarves rushed out as fast as the wind, brandishing swords and rushing towards the two of them.

"Kill!"

The six martial artists all pounced murderously, their movements were very vigorous, their speed was extremely fast, and they rushed in front of Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao in the blink of an eye.

Although Ji Tianxing's strength has fallen to the body refining realm, his martial arts experience is still there, and his vision is still keen and vicious.

Just looking at the movements and speed of those six martial artists, he judged that the strength of these six people was not bad, and I am afraid that they all had the strength of the eightfold body refining.

"Boom!"

The six warriors brandished their swords at the same time, slashing towards Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao.

Among them, there were four warriors besieging Ji Tianxing, and only two people attacked Ji Hao.

Seeing the sword light and sword shadow slashing in front of him, Ji Tianxing subconsciously pulled out the Blood Dragon Sword and swept out with a sword.

In the sound of gold and iron clash of "bells", the four swords were all shaken apart by the blood dragon sword.

Ji Tianxing escaped a catastrophe, but he was also shocked by the power of the four people who combined to attack and tumbled and fell under the horse.

His mouth was cracked and bleeding, and his right arm was paralyzed, and he couldn't exert his strength.

"Kill!"

The four warriors roared again and stabbed at him with their swords.

In a hurry, Ji Tianxing rolled on the ground a few times and rolled to the side of the road.

Although he had a gray face, he also managed to dodge the slashing of four swords and save a life.

Seeing that, the four warriors were slaughtered like fierce tigers, and he was about to jump into the woods with a leap.

At this critical moment, a long sword suddenly came out of the oblique stab, stabbing him insidiously and viciously in the chest.

Ji Tianxing caught a glimpse of the sword out of the corner of his eye, only to find that the person who made the sword was one of the two martial artists who besieged Ji Hao.

He instantly understood that the target of these six masked killers was him!
