Chapter 431, Chu State's reaction, Tangxi Sword Alliance
Fan Zeng didn't say anything anymore when he heard this, he said this just to break the embarrassment, even if Changping Jun really had this idea, Fan Zeng would refuse. Fusu into Chu, if there is no one around to protect him, it is impossible, rather than startling the snake, it is better to plot slowly.
"We still have time, the King of Qin agreed to Fusu to enter Chu, it should be in order to let Fusu gain the trust of the Chu people, so as to prepare for the attack on Chu. As long as we sabotage Fusu's plan to gain the trust of the Chu people, even if we can't prevent the Qin State from attacking the Chu State, we can delay time and arrange a future for us. Fan Zeng said.
"No, let Fusu do it. The water of the Chu State is deeper than Yun Mengze, as long as Fusu dares to make a move, the entire Chu State will find a way to expel him. Changpingjun shook his head and said. After becoming the king of Chu, Changping Jun knew how deep the water of Chu was, and the three places of Nanjun had been in the hands of Qin for decades, and they had not completely eradicated the magnates and wizards, let alone been under the control of Chu.
One village, one sacrifice, ten villages and one witch, using this sentence to describe the people of Chu is even good. After Changping Jun came to the throne, he also thought about cleaning up the collusion between the powerful and the wizards, as long as the connection between the two was broken, a lot of money and land would flow into his treasury, but when he really intervened to do this, Changping Jun realized how deep the water was, as long as the interests of these two groups were slightly moved, they would unite to induce the people below to rebel.
The magnates contributed their efforts, and the sorcerers bewitched the people, so that the people could take the weapons provided by the magnates and obey the commands of the magnates, and the entire Chu State could fall into chaos in minutes.
"King, you can't help but guard against it, Qin has Ziyou, and Ziyou is Fusu's young master, Fusu must have his help when he enters Chu, we still have to send someone to keep an eye on it." Fan Zeng stood up and persuaded.
Xiang Yan on the side glanced at Fan Zeng but did not speak.
"Then send someone to take a look, and let them be careful, and don't startle the snake." Chang Pingjun said.
"No!"
"The Qin State will not waste too much time on the Zhao State, General, I will bother you to speed up the training of soldiers and horses during this time." Changping Jun said to Xiang Yan.
"It's natural." Xiang Yan said.
"Stand down."
"No."
After Fan Zeng and Xiang Yan left the palace, the two walked side by side towards the outside of the palace of the King of Chu.
"Is Mr. Fan worried that the king will show mercy to Fusu's subordinates?" Xiang Yan asked in a low voice.
Fan Zeng nodded and said
"Fusu was born to the sister of the king, the king and his sister had suffered together in the Qin State for a long time, and then the king rebelled against the Qin State, and his sister was also implicated, I am afraid that the king will transfer his sympathy for his sister to Fusu. Being soft-hearted for the superior will affect the overall situation. Fan Zeng said.
Changpingjun is Fusu's uncle, and they are worried that Changpingjun will be soft on Fusu. Changping Jun is an outsider in the final analysis, Fan Zeng and Xiang Yan are also forced to support Changping Jun to become king in Yingdu, the two sides belong to a cooperative relationship, and there is not much trust in each other in their hearts.
"I heard the news that the two princesses of the king, Princess Qi Lian and Princess Lian Xin, are in the palace and have not seen outsiders for many days." Xiang Yan said in a low voice.
Fan Zeng was stunned for a moment, then a darkness flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice
"I'll send someone to investigate, it seems that the king has prepared for the best and the worst, and we have to prepare early."
Xiang Yan didn't speak, just continued to walk forward, and after walking out of the Chu Palace, Xiang Yan glanced back at the Chu Palace and said
"Mr. Fan, I'm going to let Shaoyu go to the south."
Fan Zeng was slightly stunned, then nodded, thinking of Xiang Yan's grandson, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng felt a little nervous in his heart, Xiang Yu was born with double eyes, and he was born with divine power, which is a characteristic that only saints will appear. Once the great sage of the Chu State, the Duke of Chu Nangong once said to him, the world is in Qin, and the death of Qin will be Chu. And the person who destroyed the Qin State was born with two eyes and invincible divine power.
"It's not appropriate to act for the time being, now the king should have doubts about us, wait a little longer, wait until Shao Yu has made a contribution in the army and subdued the Dragon Teng Legion, and then let him leave." Fan Zeng said.
"Sir's right." Xiang Yan nodded and said.
Handan, Fusu has already embarked on the road to Chu, while Yingzheng continues to stay in Handan to prepare to comfort the people around him, Li Xin and Chen Ping rushed to Handan after receiving the edict, Wang Jian and Li Mu continued to recover the land of Zhao.
And Ziyou went to Tangxi with Yingzheng's order at this moment, the world's sword-forging holy land alongside Chu Mo.
"Sir, don't we have Sui Hou Zhu and Qin Mo in our hands? Why do you have to go to Tangxi to find someone to forge a sword? Xue Nu asked puzzledly, Qin Guo's casting and smelting techniques have already developed by leaps and bounds, relying on Qin Mo's technology, Qin Guo's sword-casting ability is not weaker than Tang Xi and Chu Mo in Xue Nu's opinion.
"Not necessarily, a good sword is not made by relying only on good materials, and I don't know how to cast a sword. But the sword casting materials and casting methods used by Ou Yezi at the beginning were not as good as now, but what do you think of the sword he cast? Ziyou said.
As a later generation, Ziyou knows very well, not to mention comparing it with the Ouyezi period, even in the era of the big explosion of science and technology in later generations, the sword forged is not as good as the excavated sword to some extent.
It is said that the Tangxi Sword League is the largest swordsmith organization in the people, and its founders were led by the descendants of the original swordsmith Ou Yezi. Subsequently, more and more swordsmiths joined them, and there were even more powerful bows and crossbows in the world, and the sword came out of Tangxi. And Tangxi is also doing a similar business as the Mo family, and they also make weapons for various countries. Concubine Yan said.
"Why do you rarely hear about Tangxi's reputation?" Flame Spirit Ji asked curiously.
Tangxi is in South Korea, after she was rescued from the water prison by Ziyou, she has been looking for all kinds of information about Tianze in South Korea, and she knows the situation in South Korea very well, but she only knows the name of Tangxi Sword Alliance, and she doesn't know anything else. What's more, the Tangxi Sword Alliance is still a weapon dealer like the Mo family, and its reputation in the black market should be very high.
"Because the Tangxi Sword Alliance attaches great importance to the quality of the weapons they create, this leads to the fact that the weapons they create are expensive and produce small quantities, and they are generally famous swordsmen or magnates in the rivers and lakes to buy swords. As for the original Seven Kingdoms' own weapon manufacturing, it was enough for most soldiers, and if it was an elite, the weapons they created themselves were also enough to use, and only in a few cases did they go to the Tangxi Sword Alliance to buy them. All of them are naturally famous, but no one dares not to value them. Ziyou said.
Although Tangxi Sword Alliance and Mojia are both involved in the creation and sale of weapons, there is a big difference, the former is more like a private custom, while the latter is a mass product.
"So the strength of the Tangxi Sword Alliance is very strong?" Snow Girl asked.
"Tangxi Sword Alliance is subdivided into six schools, it is said that it is a school, but it is better to say that it is six families, these six families are all famous folk casting master families, Ou Shi, mainly Ou Yezi's descendants, Ou Yezi's son-in-law and apprentice assigned a school, Jiang Shi. The founder of the Windbeard Sword Spectrum, the family of the Wind Beard, the Feng family.
Xu Fuzi's mother's family, the Xu family, but the Xu family because Xu Fuzi's parents joined Chu Mo, and Chu Mo's casting technology made rapid progress in a short period of time, which made the Tangxi Sword League think that Xu Fuzi's parents betrayed the casting skills of the Tangxi Sword League and began to squeeze out the Xu family, and except for a few people who still stayed in the Tangxi Sword League, everyone else had already gone to the Chu State and mixed with Chu Mo.
Secondly, the two families are not very famous, the Song family composed of the descendants of the Song State, and the Shen family from the Chu State. The six families together formed the Tangxi Sword Alliance, and it continued to grow, and because they were formed in a family way, and their core was sword casting, they were never able to become their own faction like the Hundred Schools. Ziyou said.
"The descendants of Ou Yezi, the apprentice of the cadre Mo Ye, the family of Fengbeard, the parents of Xu Fuzi, and the Song family and the Shen family, these people can be said to be the families of Wu Chudi." Flame Spirit Ji said.
"It's no surprise that the conditions in the south are more suitable for casting than in the north." Ziyou said: "It's just that in recent years, the Tangxi Sword Alliance has been a little strange. ”
"What's so strange?" Snow Maiden asked curiously.
"The news about the Tangxi Sword Alliance has become less and less over the years, and I can't even hear a little news about the Tangxi Sword Alliance for a year or two. Even among the swordsmen, there is no news about the birth of any swords in the Tangxi Sword Alliance. It doesn't look like the Tangxi Sword Alliance, which was famous all over the world. Concubine Yan replied for Ziyou.
"Scarlet Smoke is right, the Tangxi Sword League has almost disappeared over the years." Ziyou said that this is also what he is more curious about, every year before, he could hear who got the sword of the Tangxi Sword Alliance, or the new sword of the Tangxi Sword Alliance.
"Could they be plotting something big?" Snow Maiden said.
"It shouldn't be, the Tangxi Sword Alliance is full of people who focus on forging swords, and it's almost a matter of letting them engage in conspiracy and trickery." Ziyou said.
The group was putting forward a lot of speculations about the Tangxi Sword Alliance, and Mo Crow returned and said to Ziyou
"Sir, the boundary of Tangxi is ahead."
"We're here to visit, Mo Crow, you go and send my prayer note to the Ou Ming Alliance Lord of the Tangxi Sword Alliance." Ziyou said.
"No!"
The crow carried the light skill and headed directly towards the village in front, and Bai Feng followed closely behind the crow.
The village where the Tangxi Sword League is located is not large, about the size of hundreds of people, the houses built of thatched houses are neat and orderly, a clear stream flows down from the mountains in the distance, large trees stand in front of each house, and the whole village is heard a chaotic but orderly beating sound.
On the side of some roads, you can still see open-air sword-casting furnaces, some men are beating the sword embryos in their hands, and some trees have unopened swords, swaying with the majesty.
Bai Feng and Mo Crow landed on the ground, and just now the two of them felt five eyes looking at them, and the eyes of the sturdy men around them looked at them.
"I am the Captain of Qin State, Mr. Ziyou's coachman, and I am here to send a post, Mr. Ziyou has something to see the master of the Ou Ming League!" Mo Crow said to the sword-forging house in front of him.
A middle-aged man in the sword-casting furnace is holding a bronze hammer, hammering the fiery sword embryo one by one, and three swords hang on the wall behind him.
Hearing Mo Crow report to his home, the surrounding men gradually put down the movements in their hands and looked at the two of them in surprise, but after the surprise, there was something else in their eyes, like a hateful meaning, which made Mo Crow and Bai Feng a little confused.
"Mr. Ziyou is worthy of being the captain of the Qin State, and the coachmen under his command are actually two grandmasters." The man said while pounding the sword embryo.
"Ouyang Alliance Leader said with a smile, this is a post." Mo Crow respectfully sent the greeting post in his hand to the man's side.
Ou Ming looked at the ink crow in surprise.
"You know me?"
"I don't know the Lord of the Ou Ming League, but I know the three swords on the wall, Mingxi, Changge, and Fengxiao. At the beginning, I also heard the news that Tangxi had three swords in the world three times a day. Ink Raven said.
At the beginning, as the leader of the hundred birds, Mo Crow was very clear about every grass and movement in South Korea, not to mention the world-famous Tangxi Three Swords. At the beginning, Ji Wuye wanted to ask for a sword for his son, and sent him to ask for a sword with a lot of treasures, but he was rejected by the Tangxi Sword Alliance, and the leader of the Tangxi Sword Alliance at that time was not Ou Ming, but his father Ouyang.
"I remember, you were sent by Ji Wuye to ask for a sword in the first place? How did you become Mr. Ziyou's coachman? Ou Ming put down the hammer in his hand, looked at the ink crow, and suddenly realized.
"I have given up the darkness and turned to the light, thanks to Mr. for not giving up, let me serve Mr. Ink Raven said.
"Since Mr. Ziyou is visiting, I have no reason not to see him, please come to Mr. Ziyou, I'll go and change my clothes first." Ou Ming took off his sweat-soaked clothes.
Mo Crow nodded and asked Bai Feng to inform Ziyou to go.
"Sir, the Lord of the European Ming Alliance invites you to talk about it." Bai Feng said to Ziyou.
"Okay."
When Ziyou took a few people to the Tangxi Sword Alliance, Ou Ming had already set up a table in front of his sword house, with tea on it.
"Mr. Ziyou, I have admired him for a long time, and it is better to be famous than to see him." Ou Ming looked at Ziyou and said with a smile: "These are the ladies, aren't they?" We are all rough men here in Tangxi, and the place is not very clean, please forgive me. ”
Hearing Ou Ming say this, Concubine Yan, Snow Maiden and Flame Spirit Ji were slightly shy, and they didn't mind the venue, but sat down in front of the stone table. When the men of the Tangxi Sword Alliance around saw Ziyou and the others taking their seats, they all looked at it, they didn't dare to look at Concubine Yan, Snow Maiden and Flame Spirit Ji, but instead focused on Ziyou, especially the Zhanlu on Ziyou's waist.
Compared with women, these men, like swordsmen, prefer swords, especially peerless swords, not to mention the Zhan Lu on Ziyou's waist is still the sword of benevolence!
