Chapter XVII
Not long after Wei Qing left the Sword Casting Division, a carriage stopped at the door of the Sword Casting Division.
The wooden sign hanging on the carriage was engraved with the words Jianfeng Tower.
At this moment, a man with a strong and tall figure, dressed in brocade clothes, and wearing a sword at his waist.
The middle-aged man with a rough face and a beard got out of the carriage and walked into the Sword Casting Division.
This person is none other than the shopkeeper of Jianfeng Tower, the five-grade swordsmith - Qiu Xuanji.
"Shopkeeper Qiu is here!" The errand was the official who hurriedly greeted him.
"How's Wei Yi's assessment going?" Qiu Xuanji asked.
"I'll go in and take a look later, Shopkeeper Qiu will sit first!" The priest poured Qiu Xuanji a cup of tea, and then walked towards the backyard of the Sword Casting Division.
Qiu Xuanji heard the priest talk about Wei Yi last night.
With such an excellent genius swordsmith, he naturally couldn't give it to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
That's why he came over in person, Corporal Lixian, and prepared to pull him under his command.
In his opinion, this Wei Yi is determined to win.
He just wanted to make Du Yujiang unavailable.
In the courtyard of the Sword Casting Division, Wei Yi was carrying out the final heat treatment of the sword.
Du Yujiang and Su He both looked at Wei Yi carefully from the side.
Hou Dong is also carefully and meticulously recording the whole process.
Near lunch, Wei Yi finally finished the heat treatment of the sword.
But he didn't plan to have lunch here, but directly began to sharpen his sword.
I want to finish today's assessment quickly.
When Su He, Hou Dong and the others returned to the courtyard after lunch, Wei Yi also polished the sword.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the sword below has been forged, please take a look!" Wei Yi presented his newly forged sword with both hands.
Du Yujiang and Su He took the sword and began to test the performance of the sword.
It is no surprise that the sword forged by Wei Yi this time is no different from the quality of yesterday's sword.
"Wei Yi, congratulations on passing this assessment!" Du Yujiang looked at Wei Yi with admiration on his face and said.
"Yes, from today onwards, you will be the Nine Rank Sword Forger of my Great Yan Dynasty, congratulations!" Su He also said with a smile.
"Thank you Lord Su, Lord Hou, thank you Shopkeeper Du, you have worked hard these days!" Wei Yi arched his hand.
The wish was fulfilled, and I suddenly felt a sense of relief.
He originally thought that when he obtained the status of swordsmith, he would be very excited, very excited.
However, I didn't expect my heart to be so calm at this time.
But there is still a sense of joy.
"Later, we will make a final score for your assessment this time, and then go over to register and receive Wang Zhuyin and identity waist card.
The two swords you forge will be used as your sword casting tax for the first two months, and then you can pay one sword to the Sword Casting Division before the end of each month. ”
"Thank you, Lord Su!" Wei Yi snorted again.
"Wei Yi, take a step to speak!" Du Yujiang pulled Wei Yi to the side.
"I was afraid of disturbing the assessment before, so I didn't tell you something, there have been some changes in your second uncle's case, and I only heard about it last night......" Du Yujiang told Wei Yi the truth about Wei Tieshan.
Hearing Du Yujiang's words, Wei Yi's face became a little ugly, and his heart also twitched.
"But don't worry, I went to the government last night, I have a deep friendship with the prefect, and he promised to help us and keep your second uncle safe.
But your second uncle killed someone after all, and the Liu family is not an ordinary family, so if you want to be acquitted, I'm afraid even King Jing'an can't do it.
But I promise that I will help your second uncle get the lightest punishment! Du Yujiang said very sincerely, after all, this is also his true thoughts.
He sincerely likes and appreciates Wei Yi in his heart, and naturally hopes to help him.
Hearing Du Yujiang's words, Wei Yi's heart was once again steady.
I am also grateful in my heart.
Although he knew that Du Yujiang should want to take this opportunity to win himself over to join the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
After all, he also knew about the dispute between the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion and the Jianfeng Tower.
Now there are no Nine Rank Sword Casters in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
I urgently need to join this new blood of my own.
But despite this, Wei Yi was still very grateful to Du Yujiang in his heart.
Anyway, they did me a great favor.
If it weren't for him, the second uncle would really be unjustly killed.
Even if they can sue, this era is not as good as the modern society of the previous life.
How difficult it is to file a lawsuit.
If he wants to save his second uncle, he may have to sue Zheng Zhixian with him.
In this era of official protection, what are your chances of winning?
"Thank you Du, thank you very much, your kindness, in the next heart, come to repay your ......"
"Du Yujiang, I'm so anxious to start wooing newcomers!" A deep voice suddenly interrupted Wei Yi's words.
It was Qiu Xuanji who walked in, looking at Du Yujiang with a slight sarcasm on his face.
Seeing Qiu Xuanji coming, Du Yujiang was naturally not surprised at all.
Just when he sees this person, he doesn't fight with his anger.
"Your Excellency is Wei Yi, I heard that in my Qingzhou City, there is an elegant scholar who looks like a swordsmith, and when I see it today, he is really a talent, and he has become a Jiupin swordsmith at such an age, and his future is immeasurable!" Qiu Xuanji walked up to Wei Yi and praised him with a smile on his face.
Out of politeness, Wei Yi also returned the salute with his fists, but he didn't know who the other party was.
"I am the shopkeeper of Jianfeng Building, the five-grade swordsmith Qiu Xuanji, I have also heard about your performance in the past few days, I appreciate your talent very much, and I want to take you as an apprentice, I guarantee that you will become a seven-grade swordsmith like Du Yujiang within three years!" Qiu Xuanji accentuated his tone on the words Seven Rank Sword Caster, and glanced at Du Yujiang next to him.
His eyes were full of mockery.
"Qiu Xuanji, do you still have any fresh words, you see that everyone has to be accepted as apprentices, right, the three swordsmiths of my Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, you also used the excuse of accepting apprentices to dig them up, and now you come here to accept apprentices, you have so many apprentices, can you teach them?" Du Yujiang said angrily.
"Hmph, what, jealousy? If you want to be my apprentice, I can't look down on it, I'm afraid that your life will be the end of the seventh grade, and the upper limit of talent is too poor! Qiu Xuanji sneered.
"You!" Du Yujiang was poked in pain, his face was red with anger, and he was speechless for a while.
He actually knew this Qiu Xuanji for a long time.
When the two of them were in the capital, they were both the Nine Rank Sword Forgers of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
Later, they almost became seven-rank swordsmiths together.
Du Yujiang was deeply loved by the shopkeeper of Wanjian Pavilion at that time.
also married his daughter to him, and even made him the branch manager of Qingzhou City.
So at that time, Qiu Xuanji was very jealous of Du Yujiang.
Now he, Qiu Xuanji, has become a five-grade swordsmith.
Du Yujiang is still in the seventh grade, so he naturally wants to be sarcastic.
Get back to the field of the past.
Du Yujiang didn't bother to argue with Qiu Xuanji anymore, and immediately looked at Wei Yi and said: "Wei Yi, the matter has come to this point, I won't be polite to you, I sincerely invite you to join our Wanjian Pavilion, all cooperation models are easy to discuss."
And I'm not afraid of your jokes, all the Nine Rank Sword Casters in the Ten Thousand Sword Pavilion have been poached by the Sword Blade Tower, so if you come here, you are our only seedling, and I will do my best to help you and help you become the most famous Nine Rank Sword Caster! ”
"Wei Yi, if you have no future in Wanjian Pavilion, come to my Jianfeng Tower, if Du Yujiang can promise you, I can do it, and I can also help you improve your skills!" Qiu Xuanji also hurriedly said.
"Thank you for the love of the two shopkeepers, I am flattered, can I think about this matter and give you an answer tomorrow!" Although Wei Yi already had the answer in his heart.
But he didn't feel the need to say it in front of the two of them.
First of all, he didn't want to hear the two of them quarrel anymore.
Secondly, he is very worried about his aunt now, and he really wants to go home quickly.
If the second uncle is really convicted, the aunt may also know the news.
This incident will be a very big blow to her.
He needs to tell his aunt Du Yujiang's words to reassure her.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, and what I said before, don't worry, no matter what you choose in the end, I will do my best to help you!" Du Yujiang said with a sincere face.
"Thank you, shopkeeper!" Wei Yi arched his hand gratefully.
Du Yujiang's words made Qiu Xuanji stunned for a moment.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Wei Yi and Du Yujiang in surprise.
I don't know what Du Yujiang promised to do to help Wei Yi?
At this moment, the official came over to inform Wei Yi to go over and register.
And his final assessment score also came out.
The results on the first grade are the best assessment results in the past years.
