Chapter 14 Major News
At this time, Xia Jiang, who had determined the plan, announced that he was going to start a retreat, and in the eyes of his subordinates, the master began to look more and more mysterious, which was a little different from before.
And in a blink of an eye, three days passed.
For three days, all the princes and princesses seemed to be calm, but today is destined to be a difficult day to be calm.
By the lake in the back garden of the Ninth Princess's mansion, Xiao Yun, as the personal maid of the Ninth Princess Xia Yun'er, was a little anxious.
In the past few days, her master has been in retreat and cultivation, and on weekdays, there are some troubles outside the house, or some things she is exploring outside, she will report to the other party in time, so many things have not had time to say, she is already very anxious, and now that she hears this big event, she can't bear it anymore.
Standing under the weeping trees by the river, she looked anxiously at a small island in the middle of the lake, almost looking through it, even if there were boats around her, she could only look at it, because she did not dare to row there without instructions.
In the middle of the lake, there was the retreat and cultivation place of the Ninth Princess Xia Yun'er. From the outside, it was quiet, and there was no movement inside, which undoubtedly made the waiting people anxious.
However, just when Xiao Yun was almost crazy, Xia Yun'er's figure slowly appeared from inside the island, and then stepped on a small boat.
Looking from far and near, Xia Yun'er, who has not been seen for a few days, seems to have risen to another level in appearance and temperament, which makes Xiao Yun, who is also a daughter born and beautiful, completely ashamed, and even accidentally fascinated her, but at this time she was vigilant, she had to hurry up and report something.
As for Xia Yun'er, after a few days of retreat and retreat, she was wondering if Xiao Wan had anything to report, but she saw that the other party seemed to be waiting anxiously, but she was also relieved.
It's just that the next report may not make her very pleased.
Xiao Yun saw Xia Yun'er floating away, there was no fatigue on her face, she seemed to be infected, and her anxious mood was also relieved, thinking of the rush of the past few days, she endured today's events, and began to tell all the things before and after the three days in detail.
Among them, first of all, she talked about the fact that in front of the mansion of the ninth prince, a subordinate was beaten by the third prince's people, and those people did not come out after entering the mansion, and then she unexpectedly saw that the third princess Xia Yu actually walked around and talked with the eldest prince, although it seemed that she did not often come and go, but it was a little strange, after all, the most rumored thing recently was that Xia Yu was friendly with the second prince in private, and then there were some movements of the princes and princesses.
In the end, this Xiao Yun took a deep breath and reported today's major events.
It wasn't until her report came out that Xia Yun'er's eyes, which had always been relieved and calm, finally lit up with a hint of surprise.
At the same time, Xia Jiang also came out of the retreat at this time, but contrary to Xia Yun'er's exit, he was already exhausted, although there was still a trace of excitement on his face.
In three days, he also refined the other three swords. This time, he didn't buy a lot of materials, but used some of the inferior materials that he had found inside and outside the house, which was really a patchwork, and then he refined it again, three days, one day to refine one handful, and today he finally finished refining all three.
After identification, these three swords are already first-grade magic weapons!
He was naturally excited to refine three Zhengyipin magic weapons with just some materials that could be called garbage, because it would mean that even if he didn't use the materials, as long as he ate a little more, he could even refine all the products into magic weapons.
With excitement and warm-up, Xia Jiang walked out of the cultivation ground, ready to take a nap first, only to see a subordinate who seemed to be waiting anxiously.
"Lord Prince, you are finally out of the customs!" suddenly people were relieved to see Xia Jiang appear.
"What's the matter?" Xia Jiang saw that his face was nervous, and he knew that it must be something big, so he hurriedly asked.
During the inquiry, Xia Jiang first thought of his mother, and felt that apart from his mother, he didn't care much about any big things now.
"It is the king's order......" said the king, and the servant knelt on the ground.
Then, Xia Jiang heard something that was completely unexpected for him, and it was also something that he had to be moved.
"The third prince, engaged to the ninth princess ......"
Xia Jiang didn't believe his ears a little, he looked at his subordinates in disbelief, only to see the other party nodding cautiously, indicating that it was true.
When he asked this person again, the other party obviously didn't know anything, so he had to immediately step up and walk out.
After a while, Xia Jiang came to Xianzhu's place, and at this moment, Xianzhu was at ease, and was sleeping in the west gazebo.
Seeing Xia Jiang coming in person, Xianzhu, who woke up when she heard the sound, was slightly stunned, but soon knew the meaning of her coming, but she was still not in a hurry, and stretched her waist to tell the scene of the day. For her, this incident didn't seem to have anything to do with her master, so she didn't care, but to her surprise, as she described the scene when she heard this, she saw an abnormal look on the other party's face.
That's right, this incident surprised Xia Jiang very much! It was actually his father who personally sent someone to invite him, and without prior notice, he directly invited their children to the training ground two days later to announce in public about the engagement of the third prince and the ninth princess.
This incident came too suddenly, which made Xia Jiang completely overwhelmed, because according to his feelings, the ninth princess would not like the third prince at all, and he had never heard that she had any closeness to the third prince, on the contrary, the other party seemed to be a little disgusted with the third and fourth princes.
But this is true, and he can't believe it.
"How could this be? How could she be engaged to the third prince?......" Xia Jiang's mind was a little confused all of a sudden, which really made him unable to understand, if the second prince was going to be engaged to Xia Yu, he might believe it.
Xia Jiang, who was going to rest, was swept away from sleepiness, and was replaced by an awakening, waking up.
...... Wrong!
As his mind gradually cleared up, Xia Jiang suddenly felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that if the two of them were engaged, they should announce it in the giant halls of the Dragon and Phoenix, Xiqing, and Xiangrui Palaces, why should they be in the training ground?
Thinking of this, Xia Jiang shook his head, became more and more sober, analyzing this matter, although he knew that his father was full of words, he still felt that this matter was not necessarily true.
After a while, his thoughts fell, Xia Jiang also calmed down, and went back to the room to rest, he had to take care of his spirit first.
For the next whole day and night, Xia Jiang meditated in addition to sleeping, studying his own demon devouring sword technique, so that he was completely immersed in it, and almost no longer interfered with this matter. Now he is not the former Nine Princes, if it was before, if the Nine Princes heard about this, they would definitely have trouble sleeping, although in the end he was not at all sure that he could get the true favor of the Nine Princesses, he would also sink into self-indulgence and could not extricate himself.
After a day and a night, Xia Jiang was in good spirits, and after tidying up, he immediately went out with a few swords and went straight to Wanbao Pavilion.
Today's Wanbao Pavilion looks more lively than it was that day, and although the price of magic weapon materials and other materials is still rising, the number of customers is still increasing.
Three almost identical swords fell into the eyes of an appraiser in charge of the purchase in the store, and after some evaluation, the other party actually gave a high price of 12,000.
"12,000 Grade Spar ......"
Xia Jiang listened to this result, a little unexpected, he was not idle, but high, high is a little outrageous!
Xia Jiang didn't hide his thoughts, and the other party could see his puzzled reaction at once, but his face was stern, and his eyebrows revealed his importance to Xia Jiang, and said: "Your Excellency, I don't know which master these three swords are from, can you easily introduce them?"
While speaking, the other party stared at Xia Jiang, as if he wanted to see through him.
And from the other party's reaction, Xia Jiang could see that the other party wanted to find out about the information about this magic weapon refiner, so he deliberately raised the price to give him benefits.
Although Wanbao Pavilion is the most extensive in all parts of the Xia Kingdom, claiming to have the most and most complete magic weapon materials, and the price has soared because of the surrounding wars, it is still in short supply to be snapped up, and naturally, the refiner is now an absolute super cash cow, and everyone wants to recruit it.
Xia Jiang didn't move around much, but at least he knew that their Xia King's Palace, that is, under his father's king, only had one refiner. It can be seen how rare a refiner is, and now a refiner will be the possibility to determine whether they can make persistent efforts and go to the next level in this magic weapon commercial war without gunpowder.
After all, this Wanbao Pavilion is only very widespread, and it is far from being the top magic weapon trading market.
But even so, Xia Jiang would not casually admit that he was the refiner of this magic weapon, but he did not deny knowing it, but shook his head regretfully, and said: "These are just gifts from friends, I'm not sure if he refined them." ”
In the face of Xia Jiang's answer, the other party was obviously disappointed, but he was also generous, and still pushed a bag of spars down in front of Xia Jiang and said: "Then I hope that Your Excellency will come to me to sell any magic weapons that you don't need, and the price given under the guarantee is much higher than that of other places!"
Xia Jiang was not polite, took the money, thanked him, turned around and went out, and immediately came to the material shop, and bought almost all the money for low-end materials in one go.
Immediately afterwards, carrying a large bag of materials, he went straight to the familiar blacksmith shop and bought dozens of large and small weapons in one go.
Originally, he could have bought some large weapons, which were suitable for his current refining, as well as his refining style, but the weight was a big problem, and the two horses were likely to be unable to bear the camel, and he didn't want to consign it and let people know where he came from, so for the sake of safety, he had to make some trade-offs.
After the purchase was completed, Xia Jiang immediately returned to the mansion and returned to his cultivation ground, this time, he was going to conduct a secret refining retreat, but at the same time, he told Xian Zhu to come in tomorrow to remind him that he had to go to the cultivation site on time.
No matter how much he doesn't believe it, he has to be there and prepare for his goal!
