Seeing that Xinling Jun directly picked out the matter of going out of the city to visit Zeng Ji, Mr. Zhong Yue no longer covered it up, and said directly: "Zeng's visit, the king worships him, and it is all confidential." May not be leaked. ”

The Lu brothers all said: "Be careful! ”

Mr. Zhongyue said: "The minister has prepared two carts of grain, 10,000 yuan, ten urns of sake, and Mr. Lu and other labor cars. The things of etiquette and virtue are not suitable for ministers. ”

Zhang Yu said: "It is a great gift for you to worship." The things outside the body are not what the Zeng family likes, nor are they appropriate, and they are afraid of leaking. ”

Xinling Jun said: "Mr. Dao, Brother Zeng is a good sword, I have a sword, which is considerable, and I am willing to give it away." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Brother Zeng's sword is still in the minister's place, and the minister will take it." ”

Xin Lingjun and Zhang Yu both stood up and left to get their swords. Mr. Zhong Yue took the opportunity to explain the precautions after entering the car dealership with the Lu brothers, and the two listened attentively and nodded again and again.

After a while, first Xin Lingjun, and then Zhang Yu, respectively brought the sword. But Mr. Zhong Yue's words were not finished, and they did not open their mouths, they sat down quietly, and listened to Mr. Zhong Yue's arrangements, and even asked Mr. Zhong Yue to explain some things that were unclear.

After Mr. Zhongyue finished speaking, Xin Lingjun asked, "Who is the escort?" ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "The old disciples, afraid of being recognized, are from the new gentlemen of the Liang, choose six shrewd people to accompany them, all of them are rough and short brown. The gentleman and the gentleman are divided into two squares, each with a postman. In the middle camp, a team of soldiers was selected to accompany the guard. ”

Xinlingjun said: "Mr. is good at handling everything." He put the sword in his hand in the banquet and said to Zhang Yu: "It is the sword I wear." "When I look at it, the sword room is woody and fragrant, without lacquer, and it is naturally bright; Drawing his sword, it was golden, and the edge of the blade shone with a cold light; Flick your fingers, and the sword will grow. Zhang Yu took out Zeng Ji's sword from his arms: a black and black iron, the lower handle is round, no grid, and the sword body is three-edged, sharp and sharp.

Xin Lingjun picked up this iron sword, looked at it for a long time, and said: "The sharp aura of this sword is exposed, and there is no rush and calmness, I am afraid that it will be difficult for others to die soon." ”

Zhang Yu said: "The sword of the king, auspicious and noble, and the majesty is compelling, and the sword of the true nobleman is also." ”

Mr. Zhong Yue said: "Zeng's rangers are in all directions, can An be the sword of Fugui?" The minister thought that he could take the actual soldiers in the treasury as a gift. ”

Xin Lingjun thought about it, picked up the sword in his hand, went out of the back hall, and went to the front of the back house, and said: "Wei people are unscrupulous, ask to see Captain Huayang!" When he was young, the door of the house opened, Huayang Wei ran out in a hurry with two servants with a big belly, and saw that Xinlingjun was alone with a sword here, so he hurriedly stayed by the door and stepped forward to salute.

Xinling Jun said: "The lone general is out of battle, and he only has a sword with him, and he is willing to ask the elite sword in the house to defend his body, and he will return after the battle." I'm afraid that he doesn't believe it, and he is willing to confront him with this sword. ”

When Captain Huayang heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's just an iron sword, how can you dare to question the sword of the king." ”

Turned to the little servant and said, "Take the heaviest sword on the shelf and give it to the king!" The servant ran in and came out shortly after, holding a long wooden sword in his hand. Huayang Wei took it, presented it to Xinlingjun with both hands, and said: "I have selected a number of swords in the library and placed them in the inner house, I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later, so I can defend myself." This sword grows up, although it is iron, the most advantageous field. Jun's upper body is sharpened, and he is willing to follow him with this to send his heart. Vulgar things, I don't dare to give them, but I don't dare to give them! "Xin Lingjun took the sword, and it was very heavy; I took it out and looked at it, it was indeed a dark and heavy section of black iron, and the edge of the blade was forged and polished, although there was a cold light, it was slightly rough.

When Xin Lingjun saw this sword, he felt a little lost in his heart: a sword of this quality seemed to be more difficult to reflect his own way of treating the virtuous. But what Huayang Wei gifted, it was not easy to say much, and said simply: "Thank you for the favor, I dare not take it." Those who have good swords on the left and right dare to enter the arsenal and choose a number of swords. ”

Huayang Wei said: "Although the sword shape is clumsy, it is skillful. The king will know when he is in battle. The arsenal chooses the sword, the king does it himself, and the ministers are uneasy and can't follow each other. The two parted.

Xin Lingjun took the long sword, returned to the hall, put the sword in front of the banquet, and said to Zhang Yu: "Sir, what about this sword?" ”

Zhang Yu took the sword and looked at it, and said: "It's a sword, the back is broad, the ridge is straight, and the sword is honest." ”

Xin Lingjun also put his sword in front of the banquet and asked, "It's the second sword, why should I give it to the Zeng family?" ”

Zhang Yu didn't know how to answer for a while, but Mr. Zhong Yue relieved: "Mr. Lu walks in all directions, and there are many swords, so there must be a high theory." ”

Lu Bo didn't even shirk it, he first raised Xinling Jun's sword, took it out and took a closer look, and said: "It's a sword, the golden light is shining, the edge is restrained, and the sword of the king is also." He raised his long sword again, took out a closer look and said: "It is a sword, and it is used in it, straight but not broken, sharp but not broken, and it is the sword of the general." Finally, he took Zeng Ji's three-edged sword from Zhang Yu's hand and said: "It's a sword, hidden deeply, and the sword of a chivalrous man is also on the top." Finally, he concluded: "It is three swords, all of them are high-quality, but their people are different." ”

When Xinling Jun heard this, he sighed angrily: "If it's not him, how can there be a sword!" It's something I don't know. ”

Zhang Yu said: "The gentleman gave the sword, not necessarily for its use, but also in Jingxian." The minister returned to his sword, and the king gave it with two swords, which shows the respect for each other, and how can he have it! ”

Xinling Jun said: "Si is in the array, everything is simple, and Brother Zeng should not blame him." ”

Zhang Yu said: "His people are loyal and righteous, and they will feel the sincerity of the king, so why wonder." ”

At this time, someone at the bottom of the stairs reported that the car was ready. Mr. Zhongyue answered, and everyone in the hall stood up. Xinling Jun said: "The sword of the general, Mr. Zhang wears it." When you see it, you will untie the sword and give it away to see its sincerity. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Xie Junshang! Sure enough, he diligently hung the long sword on his waist, the three-edged sword was still in his arms, and he tidied up his clothes slightly. Xinlingjun led the way out of the hall, and the four gentlemen followed behind and went out of the mansion together.

Outside the gate of the mansion, the two-seater leather cart and the three-seater carriage were already waiting there, and there was a royal hand next to each of the two-seater leather carts, one of which was actually Mr. Xiahou. Mr. Xiahou always dresses up in his spare time and feeds the grass himself; Once you follow the letter Lingjun to pay homage, the whole set is tied, and it is also quite prestigious. The six coachmen next to the three chariots were all doormen who had just come with Liang Weigongzi from the prison, and they were still dressed as beggars when they came out of the Liang, although they had unique skills, but their appearance was not revealing. A group of soldiers with ten steps and one person, lined up on both sides of the avenue until the west gate, so the street was empty. Uncle also stepped forward to greet Xinlingjun and others.

Xinling Jun saluted Mr. Zhong Yue first, and walked with Zhang Yu towards Mr. Xiahou's car, while the Lu brothers walked towards the other car. After greeting Mite, everyone got into the car, Mide started the carriage, and Shinlingjun resigned to Mr. Nakagaku. The convoy went straight out of the West Gate. The pawn followed behind the convoy, and the soldiers standing on both sides closed the convoy in turn, and followed the convoy until they left the west gate.

In order to adapt to the speed of the ox cart, the two-seater carriage only moved slowly, although it was a horse.

Huayang City does not have a moat, but there is an open field of fifty paces outside the city wall to facilitate the defense of the defenders. Outside the empty field, there is the Lu family car dealership, built facing the south, although there is no difficulty in the high door, but the exquisite courtyard wall, still shows the wealth of the owner. Although there were no pedestrians on the road for a long time, the military guards quickly set up a cordon around the car dealership. Then the two-seater carriage and the three-seater ox cart slowly drove to the door. Lu Bojie led a group of shopkeepers and mediocre people of the car dealership, opened the middle door, and greeted the downstairs.

The Lu brothers got out of the car first, and Lu Bo said: "The general will work hard to get in the car!" ”

Lu Bojie bowed and said: "A small person, don't dare to be a general!" ”

Lu Bo said: "Sir, you can give it." ”

Lu Bojie got up and said, "I wish the general to sit high, and wait for the wine!" "Get out of the way. Xin Lingjun got off the car by three people, and several car dealers came to take over the carriage and horses, and Mr. Xiahou did not follow to the stable this time, but went straight to the door of the house with Xinlingjun and Zhang Yu. A few other shopkeepers and mediocre men came to pick up the cart, and also let six doormen dressed as coachmen into the door. Lü Bojie and the Lü brothers stayed outside the door and began to distribute money and grain; Lü Buwei, who was hidden in the shadows, quietly let Xin Lingjun and the others into a quiet courtyard. The six coachmen quietly disappeared into the surroundings, silent. Lu Buwei opened the door, came in first, saluted inward, and then went out again, waving outward. Xin Lingjun and the other three followed.

After entering the door, I saw a group of people walking straight over, the first one, with an obscene figure, untidy clothes, fluffy hair, and feces in the corners of his eyes, it was Zeng Ji; followed by Uncle Tang and Uncle Cao. Xinlingjun stepped forward and stood on his side. Zhang Yu said: "Wei Gongzi Xinling Jun respectfully visits Brother Zeng!" ”

Zeng Ji bowed to the ground and said: "I have heard the name of Xinling Jun, and I am fortunate to see it today!" ”

Xinlingjun also bowed to the ground and said: "Mr. Guwen and Mr. Zhang, I want to see the situation at that time, and I can't help myself. I didn't expect to see the true face, and I was overjoyed! ”

Uncle Tang said: "The two of them are righteous, and they hate to see each other late. May there be little courtesy, drink and talk. ”

The two got up, helped each other up, and walked hand in hand, and everyone followed. Lü Buwei had already taken out the water urn, jujube plum and other things in the hall, and placed them next to the steps. Everyone ate and drank around these and sat in a circle—only Mr. Xiahou and Zhang Yu sat behind Xinlingjun.

Sitting down, each drinking a round of sake, Xin Lingjun untied his sword from his waist, held it with both hands, and said: "I admire Mr. Lonely's trip very much; Mr. Jinwen came to Huayang in person and was overjoyed. There is no long thing in the army, this sword is worn by the lonely, and it is also entertaining, I hope that Mr. will not be too light. ”

Zeng Ji excused himself and said: "A lowly person, how dare you give it to you." ”

Zhang Yu said: "The sword is often worn by the king, and he gives it to his great-brother to send his heart." May my brother not quit! He took out Zeng Ji's three-edged sword from his arms, and offered it with both hands, saying: "Brother Zeng's sword, my brother doesn't dare to have it, I would like to return it!" ”

Zeng Ji retrieved his sword from Zhang Yu's hand, rubbed it with his hand for a long time, and said: "Brother Zhang's sincerity and the will of the king are all led by heart." ”

Zhang Yu took off the long sword from his waist again, offered it with both hands, and said, "Brother Zeng has the only sword." The sword of the king covers his heart, and the sword of his brother is a selected Han sword in the arsenal, and he is willing to defend his body. ”
