Chapter Twenty-Seven: Childe Buddies Compete with Swords
"Guo Gongzi, why did you come here so late?" The person who had a good relationship with Guo Pixiu at the scene asked with a smile.
The maid in the house also immediately came over to bring pastries and tea to Guo Pixiu.
"I went to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion before I cameβeh, by the way, Shizi, I just bought a new jeweled sword in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, can you think about it?" Guo Pixiu looked at Zhao Hanqing again.
"Guo Gongzi is really good at laughing, what is so beautiful about a jeweled sword in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, who of us here has never seen it, let alone a well-informed prince." A man with Dan Feng eyes, unruly eyes, and a handsome appearance next to him said.
This man's name was Wan Zihe, the son of Wan Yinchang, a wealthy merchant in the city.
"Haha, yes, what's so beautiful about this jeweled sword of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion!" A son-in-law beside Wan Yinchang said kindly, his face full of sarcasm.
"You really haven't seen this sword of mine!" Guo Pixiu said with a slight meaning.
"Cut, how is it possible, the Xuzi Sword, the Qian Character Sword, and the Zhang Character Sword of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, which one of us here has not seen, and the swords here can collect all three of them." Na Wanzihe said unconvinced.
Although Zhao Hanqing smiled and said nothing, he looked at Guo Pixiu's gaze and seemed to have some doubts.
"Wei Zijian, have you seen it?" Guo Pixiu took off his saber, grabbed it in his hand, and said with a smile.
Hearing his words, everyone looked at each other, and they really hadn't heard of it.
"What Wei character sword? Unheard! β
"It can't be a swordsmith who is not well-known, it's normal that you haven't heard of it!" Wan Zihe said with a sneer.
"Could it be a new swordsmith?" Zhao Hanqing also asked.
"Yes, he is indeed a new swordsmith, but the sword he forged, both in terms of quality and performance, is far superior to other jeweled swords on the market, and it is the best of the best!" Guo Pixiu said with a serious face.
"Haha, Guo Gongzi can really blow, who in this city doesn't know, among a jeweled sword, the best is the Mingzi sword in my hand." Wan Zihe stood up and said unconvinced.
"That's right, how good can the sword forged by a newcomer be, Guo Gongzi won't be fooled by others, right?"
"Wan Zihe, your Mingzi sword is now being sold at a discount, and you can buy it for fifty or sixty taels of silver, do you want to buy another one!" Guo Pixiu said with a smile.
"Impossible!" Wan Zihe's face was cold, and he naturally didn't believe it.
"If you don't believe it, go to Jianfeng Tower to have a look!"
"Eh, I seem to have heard that Jianfeng Tower is selling swords at a discount!"
"Guo Gongzi, you said that your sword is the best product, how to prove it, each family's jeweled sword has its own merits, the gap between them is difficult to define, whether it is good or bad is not just based on one mouth!"
"That's right, in order to sell the sword, the store is naturally blowing the sky, and you don't have to believe it!" The children of rich families who had a good relationship with Wan Zihe at the scene helped out.
Hearing everyone's words, Guo Pixiu took out the sword inspection stick from his waist, raised it in his hand and asked, "Does anyone here know what this is?" β
Everyone's eyes converged, some frowned and confused, and some shook their heads slightly.
"This is the sword inspection rod, an object used by the Nine Rank Sword Forgers to test the extreme performance of the sword." Zhao Hanqing said.
"The prince is really well-informed, that's right, it's the sword inspection stick, Wan Gongzi, do you want to make a bet, try it, it can be regarded as adding some fun to everyone here!" Guo Pixiu looked at the Wanzi River with a provocative gaze.
"Than what?" Wan Zihe asked unconvinced.
"Look at which of us' saber can cut off this sword test stick?"
Hearing Guo Pixiu's words, Zhao Hanqing raised his eyebrows, and a trace of interest appeared in his eyes.
Everyone present was also interested.
Some of the sons and buddies who are not afraid of big things when they watch the excitement have even begun to coax and arch the fire.
"Okay, Guo Gongzi's proposal is good!"
"That's right, Wan Gongzi compares with him."
"The sword of the Ming character will definitely win!"
"I'll bet ten taels of silver, Wan Gongzi, please?" Guo Pixiu took out ten taels of silver from his purse and put it on the coffee table.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the Wanzi River.
Wan Zihe frowned, looking at the eyes of the people around him, he naturally couldn't retreat,
Immediately, he also took out ten taels of silver and put them on the coffee table.
"It's better than it, are you still afraid that you won't succeed!" Wan Zihe directly pulled out his sword.
"You can also bet together." Guo Pixiu said again.
Most of the people present followed along and placed their bets.
Of course, those who have a good relationship with Guo Pixiu have suppressed Guo Pixiu.
People who have a good relationship with Wanzihe are all betting to support Wanzihe,
Each person bets a few taels of silver.
But it adds up to a hundred taels less.
Everyone came to the courtyard together, and Zhao Hanqing also ordered his subordinates to move a wooden pier.
Then he took the sword test stick in Guo Pixiu's hand and looked at it, and finally handed it to his subordinates and fixed it on the wooden pier.
"Which of you two will come first?" Zhao Hanqing asked.
"Guo Gongzi, you proposed the competition, please first!" Wan Zihe said.
"Good!" Guo Pixiu drew the sword in his hand, but suddenly hesitated.
He suddenly remembered that he had only listened to Zhang Xingye's words.
There has been no real experiment, and if you keep cutting this sword test stick, wouldn't it be very shameless.
That steward shouldn't lie to me, right?
Guo Pixiu thought to himself.
"Guo Gongzi, what are you doing in a daze?" Wan Zihe said again, the corners of his mouth sneering.
I think this Guo Pixiu is playing tricks.
Guo Pixiu's heart fell, clenched his sword, and then raised it high.
The brush slashed down, exerting a lot of force.
He also has the five-fold cultivation of the Open Pulse Realm, and his strength is still very sufficient.
This sword went down, and only the sound of the gong was heard,
The sword rod was split along with the wooden pier below.
The first half of the sword body was directly submerged into the stone slab on the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone didn't have too surprised expressions.
After all, they had no idea about this sword test stick, and they didn't know what it meant for this sword to go down.
However, Zhao Hanqing looked surprised.
For he alone knows what the sword rod is.
"Shizi, I'm really sorry, I used too much force and broke the floor of your mansion!" Guo Pixiu arched his hand and said, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.
It seems that the steward is not lying, this sword is really sharp.
"No problem!" Zhao Hanqing waved his hand, walked quickly to Guo Pixiu's side, took the sword from his hand, and looked at it carefully.
It turned out to be really intact, and the blade and blade were still as smooth as a mirror, with only a few scratches.
The toughness and sharpness of this sword are not much inferior to those of his own three jeweled swords.
But although he was surprised in his heart, he didn't show it, but waited for the next good show.
He also had a new wooden pier brought in and re-fastened the sword-checking rod.
The sword inspection stick was cut off by Guo Pixiu, and there was still a long section left.
"Wan Gongzi, please!" Guo Pixiu looked at Wanzihe with interest.
Wan Zihe stepped forward and pulled out the sword at his waist, originally wanting to be handsome and holding the sword with one hand, but after thinking about it, he changed it to holding the sword with both hands.
After all, if you don't cut off the sword test stick because of your lack of strength, it's still a bit embarrassing.
So it can be said that he riveted enough strength and slashed down with a sword.
Qiang β
The same sound of gold and iron colliding, this sound sounded louder than just now.
However, the sword in Wan Zihe's hand stopped in the sword inspection stick, and it was difficult to advance an inch.
The sword rod was only cut by his sword for more than half a depth, and it was not broken.
On the other hand, looking at the Mingzi sword in Wan Zihe's hand, the blade of the sword actually broke off a large piece.
Seeing this scene, Wan Zihe's complexion changed greatly, and his heart ached.
The people present widened their eyes and looked at Guo Pixiu with surprise on their faces.
In such a comparison, it was really a high sentence.
"Guo Pixiu won, a good sword, it's really a good sword!" Zhao Hanqing took Guo Pixiu's sword and exclaimed.
