Chapter 19: The Wheel of Fortune
Night.
The sky is full of stars, and the crescent moon is like a hook.
Under the stars of this other world, a light in Ye Chong's room was as bright as a bean.
He sat in his chair, leaning under the lamplight, flipping through the no-list book.
"Ye Chonglou, the origin is unknown, only known as the prince Wei Xun's close friend, Zhou Li 331 was invited by Wei Xun, the first time to the song. Note: Prince Weixun traveled to various countries and returned to the court in the year 330 of the Zhou calendar. ”
"In the third and third year of the Zhou calendar, the state of Chu invaded my border. Ye Chonglou was secretly ordered by Prince Weixun to go to the Chu military camp and assassinate the Chu general Dongfang Yu, who succeeded in one fell swoop and became famous. The Chu army lost its commander in front of the battle and retreated. ”
"In the third and third year of the Zhou calendar, the Chu army attacked again, and King Wei sent the Shen family army to the border to fight the enemy, and Ye Chonglou was recommended by Wei Xun to join the Shen family army as a general. ”
"Shen Mowu, the leader of the Shen family's army, was assassinated in the tent and was rescued by Ye Chonglou, who was appreciated by Shen Mowu. ”
"The main force of the Shen family army was ambushed in Liaocheng, and Ye Chonglou led a cavalry surprise attack, broke through the enemy's encirclement, and saved the main force of the Shen family army, as well as Shen Mowu and his eldest son Shen Feng. ”
"In the third and third five years of the Zhou calendar, the war was scorching, the Chu army launched a large-scale offensive, and the Shen army suffered defeats. ”
In the autumn of the 335th year of the Zhou calendar, Ye Chonglou took a risk, disguised himself as a Chu soldier, and entered the Chu army camp alone. That night, the right commander of the Chu army was assassinated by Ye Chonglou, who fled for his life in the chaos, was seriously injured, and disappeared. ”
"It was the winter of the year, the commander of the Chu army died suddenly, and the Chu army retreated. Ye Chonglou returned to the Shen family army with the head of the coach of the Chu army. The news spread to Chaoge, and King Wei gave Ye Chonglou the name of the first assassin, which caused a sensation all over the world. ”
"In the 336th year of the Zhou calendar, Shen Mowu, Marquis of Changchun, died of injuries, and his eldest son Shen Fengyang attacked his title and took charge of the Shen family's army. ”
"In the 337th year of the Zhou calendar, the Chu army once again invaded our border, and broke through three cities in a row with a sudden momentum. The Shen family army was ordered to be in danger, Shen Fengyang led the troops, and Ye Chonglou was the deputy general, and went to the border to resist the enemy. ”
Ye Chonglou led the army on the left, broke the enemy one after another, and recaptured the two cities. ”
"Ye Chonglou and Shen Fengyang flanked left and right, broke the Chu army, and all the three cities were recaptured. ”
"In the autumn of that year, Shen Fengyang and Ye Chonglou led the Shen family army to start a decisive battle with the Chu army. ”
"It's winter, the war continues, our army's victory is in sight, King Wei suddenly had a heart attack and died in the court, and the news was kept secret. ”
"Wei Xun, the eldest son of King Wei, died suddenly that night. ”
"Won the decisive battle on the border, Ye Chonglou didn't know that King Wei was dead, so he had to hear the news of Wei Xun's sudden death, regardless of the cold and freezing, regardless of the fact that his injuries were not healed after the fierce battle, and he rushed to mourn at night. ”
In front of Wei Xun's grave, Ye Chonglou drank spirits and mourned his friends. ”
Prince Wei Lie personally escorted Wang Donglin in front of Wei Xun's tomb to challenge Ye Chonglou. ”
Within a few combinations, Wang Donglin's sword broke through Ye Chonglou's qi sea, and Ye Chonglou was defeated. ”
The next day, Prince Wei Lie ascended the throne and became the new monarch of the country. ”
Shen Fengyang led the Shen family army to return to the court, and was rewarded by the new Wei King. Ye Chonglou disappeared from Chaoge. ”
"The new king of Wei gave Wang Donglin the name of the first swordsman. ”
......
Ye Chong clutched the nameless booklet tightly with both hands, tears in his eyes.
Having fused the souls of two lives, he empathized with his father, who had the same blood as himself.
From the record of a few hundred words, it is not difficult to see that Wei Xun died a strange death. And Ye Chonglou, because the limelight was too strong, was feared by Wei Lie, that is, today's King Wei, so he set a trap, led him to come to the court, and took the opportunity to let Wang Donglin abolish him!
If it weren't for Ye Chonglou's outstanding military exploits and extreme limelight, maybe he would have been killed directly at that time.
And Shen Fengyang, who was the commander of the army at that time, would have known nothing about Wei Lie's conspiracy? The war had just stabilized, why did he dare to let Ye Chonglou go to Chaoge alone in the snow, even caring about him being seriously injured?
Ye Chong gritted his teeth and kept all the names mentioned in this booklet in mind.
Although the grief and indignation are inexplicable, he is still too weak now, in this world full of conspiracy and killing, traitors and heroes are in power, if he wants to hold on to his fate, he can only bury these sad and angry emotions deep in his heart for the time being.
Time has passed, after so many years, I am afraid that King Wei has long since stopped taking Ye Chonglou to heart, and he will not notice him Ye Chong.
I think that every winter, Ye Chonglou will buy drunk every day, pour spirits, and sing sad songs for some reason.
Ye Chong finally understood what Ye Chonglou had suppressed in his heart all these years, and finally understood what was hidden under the strange and complicated gaze when those people knew that he was Ye Chonglou's son.
"The greatest meaning of human life is to control one's own destiny and not be dominated by others. If I Ye Chong is like this, my father will be like this. ”
Ye Chong got up, looked at the stars and moonlight in the night sky through the window, and made a vow to himself.
An oath destined to cry blood and song, although thousands of people will go to it!
This night, Ye Chong held a long sword in his hand, and danced the sword in the courtyard with grief and anger, and the sword light shot at the bullfight, and the sword qi was cold and killed!
Day 2.
Ye Chong began to delve into the "Ouyang Zi Codex", he needed to be strong, by any means, from any way, to make himself strong.
In the codex, there are detailed operation methods and annotations for the Yellow Order Spirit Pattern, whether it is a weapon, an elixir or a spiritual treasure.
After Ye Chong read it well, he went to the mountain behind the Shenjiang Courtyard that night.
This time he was not hunting the beast pill, but the horn of the horned wolf, the skin of the red tiger, and the sharpest teeth of the toothed leopard.
After returning from the back mountain covered in blood, he made tiger skin gloves with sharp horns and leopard teeth out of those wolf horns, tiger skins, and leopard teeth.
Then he held the Yuexuan Sword in his hand, used it as a "seal spirit pen", and tried to carve a spirit pattern on it.
Since the "Seal Spirit Pen" needs to be used by the Spirit Pattern Master as he pleases, the characteristics of the Moon Xuan Sword Heart moving at will are naturally Ye Chong's best choice at present.
First, he strictly followed the record on the "Ouyang Zi's Codex", urging the true power in his body to pour it into the cold Yuexuan Sword on the sword body.
When depicting the spirit pattern, not only the "seal spirit pen" heart moves at will, but also the use of the spirit pattern master's true power must also change with the ups and downs of each stroke, and once the "pen" is down, it can not be stopped, it must be done in one go, and the requirements for the spirit pattern master are extremely high.
For the first time, the spirit pattern had just been carved with a stroke, but it failed because of the imbalance of the true power.
Throwing away the gloves that had been made with great difficulty, Ye Chong picked up another pair, took a deep breath, and continued to carve the spirit pattern.
The second time, the second stroke failed.
The third time, failed.
Fourth, failure.
......
After failing more than twenty times in a row, and the table was full of discarded gloves, Ye Chong forcibly cheered up and continued to carve.
Finally, a glove was successfully engraved with a spirit pattern and became a spiritual weapon of the lower grade of the Yellow Order.
With the first success, there will be a second.
After discarding a few more gloves one after another, Ye Chong successfully carved the second yellow-rank glove.
Sleepless nights.
Early the next morning, Ye Chong destroyed all the discarded gloves on the table, and went out with the five gloves that had been successfully completed by Seal Ling.
Yujintang.
The most famous underground auction house in Asaka City.
Ye Chong found this place in a book in the Library Pavilion that recorded the current Chao Gecheng Chamber of Commerce, and now, with bloodshot eyes in his eyes, he sat in the wing room on the side of the Yujintang Auction House with a tired expression.
The person in charge of receiving him was a bewitching woman who claimed to be the shopkeeper of Yujintang, named Bamboo Rouge. She was wearing a long red dress, with a large peony picture embroidered on her chest, and a white greasy deep groove was revealed on the peony petals.
When she sat down opposite Ye Chong, her towering and full two jade peaks were crumbling under the red long skirt, "Ye Gongzi, the quality of your gloves is not very good." ”
Bamboo Rouge looked at the five roughly made tiger skin gloves on the table, inlaid with wolf horns and leopard teeth, and glowing with a faint white light, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
When she laughs, the waves on her chest ripple non-stop.
Ye Chong ignored her coquettishness, and said seriously: "It doesn't look very good, but it's a real Yellow Rank Spiritual Weapon, I think there will always be a market here in Boss Bamboo." ”
"Looks, Ye Gongzi is really interesting to speak. Bamboo Rouge Dai frowned, and said in a charming manner: "Although the production is a little rougher, but Ye Gongzi is right, it is a spiritual weapon of the lower grade of the Yellow Order, and my Bamboo Rouge naturally has a way to sell it at a good price." ”
"Ye Gongzi brought five gloves at a time, which is not a small handiwork, Rong Nu's family asked, is it ...... The gloves that don't look very good, can't they be made by Ye Gongzi himself?" she looked at Ye Chong and said with a deliberate wink.
Ye Chong didn't think about it, and shook his head directly, "Ye Chong doesn't have that ability, he just acts on behalf of others." ”
The reason why he was able to engrave the spirit pattern was completely relying on the Yuexuan Sword, which was his secret, and in this sinister world, he naturally couldn't let people know about it.
Bamboo Rouge covered his mouth and smiled, "Giggles, don't misunderstand Ye Gongzi, the slave family doesn't mean anything else, just look at Ye Gongzi's handsome appearance, with this glove...... looks, quite mismatched. ”
Ye Chong looked embarrassed, he knew that his craftsmanship was indeed not good, he was like this when he made wooden swords, and now he is the same when he is making gloves.
Bamboo Rouge stretched out his hand one by one and rubbed the five gloves, and then looked at Ye Chong, "I don't know if Ye Gongzi's gloves are going to be auctioned or sold to my Jinyutang." If it is an auction, no matter what the final price is, we will take 20%, but we will have to wait for the auction before we can settle the bill with Childe. If you buy it from my Jinyutang, the little woman can pay three hundred taels, and if you are not satisfied with this price, Ye Gongzi can also propose your price, and we will discuss it again. ”
"No need to discuss, three hundred taels is three hundred taels, and there may be a chance to cooperate with Boss Zhu in the future, this time it will be Ye Chong to make a friend." Ye Chong knew that he would definitely rely on this auction house to make money in the future, so he sold it cheaply.
Even so, he was still shocked by the price of this spiritual weapon, the gloves of the lower grade of the Yellow Order can be sold for sixty taels, which is equivalent to the cost of ordinary people for more than half a year, it seems that the profession of spirit pattern master is really a golden job.
After receiving the reply, Bamboo Rouge smiled again, and the waves on his chest rippled, "Ye Gongzi is really an interesting person, in this way, I will add another fifty taels to Gongzi, which should be the little woman's heart." I am looking forward to continuing to cooperate with Ye Gongzi, in addition, in addition to auctions, our Jinyutang also has many side businesses, if Ye Gongzi needs it, the little girl can also provide various services. ”
As she spoke, she took out four silver tickets from her sleeve, three for one hundred taels and one for fifty taels.
Ye Chong was not polite, and after taking the silver ticket, he got up and was about to leave.
As for the side business of an underground trading house like Jin Yutang, which is nothing more than selling intelligence, or a business related to an industry like Qinglou, Ye Chong was not interested, so he didn't ask too much.
"Ye Gongzi, you haven't told us yet, what is the name of this glove? ”
The voice of the bamboo rouge sounded delicately.
Name?
Ye Chong thought for a while, turned around and said, "Let's call it the Wheel of Fortune." ”
When I came to this world, I don't know if it was a gift from fate or a teaser from creation. I wonder if he can really dominate this wheel of fate?
