Xu Luo pushed open the door and saw two people in the living room, with a happy smile on his face.

"Big brother, fifth brother, I've kept you waiting for a long time. ”

"Not long after, I thought I would see a little guy who was frowning, but now I am finally relieved, a little blow, and it didn't really hurt you. Huangfu Chongzhi said with a smile.

"Well, seeing the appearance of the third brother, I am also relieved. Sui Yan said on the side.

"Okay, I actually don't have anything, I've been practicing at home recently......" Looking at the two brothers with disbelieving looks, Xu Luo pouted: "Don't believe you ask Ripple?"

"Uh...... The slave doesn't know much about this......" Ripple replied cautiously on the side.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Haha

Xu Luo looked helpless, looked at the ripples and muttered, "Who are you, how do you feel like a little traitor......

Seeing that Xu Luo didn't seem to be too affected by the rumors from the outside world, Huangfu Chongzhi and Sui Yan also showed happy smiles on their faces.

Huangfu Chongzhi looked at Xu Luo and said: "Third brother, don't think about the Star Festival in the future, the people of the imperial capital are like this, no matter what happens, it will slowly fade after a while, we came here today to prepare to take you out of the city to relax." ”

Xu Luo smiled: "Don't worry, I didn't take those things to heart, you don't have to worry about me." As he spoke, Xu Luo asked, "What about the second brother and the fourth brother?"

Sui Yan pursed his lips on the side and said, "Do you still need to ask this question?" The second brother is sharpening his sword at home, and the fourth brother is ...... The fourth brother must still be busy smelling the fragrance and knowing women!"

Flutter!

Ripples finally couldn't hold back on the side, laughed out loud, and hurriedly excused himself to prepare tea and ran away, otherwise he was afraid that his stomach would hurt from laughing, obviously he also knew a lot about the second brother in Sui Yan's mouth who only knew how to fight iron and sharpen swords, and the fourth brother who smelled fragrance and knew women.

The corners of Xu Luo's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of the concentration of the second brother when he was playing iron and sharpening his sword, and the fourth brother smelling the fragrance and knowing women.

"They actually wanted to come and see you, but I stopped them. ”

Seeing Ripple leaving, Huangfu Chongzhi sighed lightly and looked at Xu Luo: "Third child, do you dare to say that this matter really has no effect on you?"

Sui Yan also put away his jokes on the side, and said softly: "Big brother, since it's all over, what else do you want him to do." ”

Huangfu Chongzhi shook his head slightly, although he was not treated well since he was a child, he was born in the royal family after all, and his vision and knowledge were more than a step higher than ordinary people.

"The reason why we didn't come here at the first time was because we didn't want to put too much pressure on you and wanted you to calm down for a while. ”

Huangfu Chongzhi said, and then smiled: "But it seems okay, you are not crushed by these pressures." No matter what time it is, we brothers are on your side. ”

"Big brother had a big quarrel with a few princes for your business......"

"Old Five, what are you talking about!"

Huangfu Chongzhi interrupted Sui Yan's words, his tone changed from mild to a little harsh, and then said to Xu Luo with a smile: "It's just a few quarrels, and it's okay." ”

"Big brother......" Xu Luo was so moved that he was a little speechless.

He knew the status of Emperor Fu Chongzhi in the royal family, and he hardly interacted with any prince on weekdays, but now for his own sake, he must have suffered from other princes, and he must have been under tremendous pressure.

Huangfu Chongzhi glared at Sui Yan, thinking that he was too talkative, so he changed the topic and said: "I just had a few arguments with the fourth prince and the seventh prince, but you, as well as the second and fourth princes, have you been fighting with others a lot these days?"

Sui Yan smiled wryly and said: "Learn, learn, I didn't suffer, but the fourth brother seemed to have been beaten a few days ago, and it is estimated that he will not be able to smell and know women in recent days." ”

"That's because he himself is not good at learning, you see the second child sharpening his sword every day, but his cultivation has never fallen, and his strength is now estimated to be not much worse than yours, you have to get those organs all day long, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be surpassed by the second child!"

"I can't wait for that!" Sui Yan rolled his eyes and said, "Let him protect me when the time comes." ”

"Sui Xiaoshi, you are hopeless. Huangfu Chongzhi muttered, then got up, grabbed Xu Luo's arm and said, "Let's go, call the second and fourth, let's go to Fengyue Tower to drink!"

Although the two of them were vague, Xu Luo still knew what his brothers were doing these days, and let the eldest brother Huangfu rush to pull him, but he secretly swore in his heart: Today is the brothers who protect me, and one day, I will also protect you!

......

In an inconspicuous courtyard on the outskirts of the imperial capital, there were constant sounds of striking iron.

While!

While!

The sound is stable and even.

The neighbors around them have long been accustomed to this kind of sound, and if it doesn't sound one day, they will feel empty and feel something less.

It's a slum, but it's not the people who live in this small compound.

Xu Jie, the eldest son of the Champion Hou Mansion, nicknamed 'Blacksmith'.

Champion Hou Xu Zhongtian and Zhenguo General and Zhenguo Duke Xu Ji are one south and one north, known as 'North and South and Two Xu, Empire Double Wall', although they are marquises, but Xu Zhongtian's military merits are no less than Xu Ji's.

Xu Zhongtian guarded the southern frontier of the empire all the year round, rarely went home, and did not object to his only son's preference for playing iron and sharpening swords.

In Xu Zhongtian's words: "Lao Tzu is a hero, striking iron and sharpening swords is also a kind of cultivation, I believe he will be better than me in the future!"

Therefore, Xu Jie is the happiest one in Xu Luo's small circle, except for Xu Luo.

In addition to him, Sui Yan's hobbies were strongly opposed by his family, and Huangfu Chongzhi was ignored, as for the fourth Liu Feng...... That guy's hobby, if anyone dares to support it, it will be a hell of a thing.

Huangfu Chongzhi and others came to the door of the small courtyard, did not knock on the door at all, directly pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, passed through the front hall, and when they arrived in the backyard, they saw a strong man with a naked upper body, holding a huge iron hammer in his right hand, and was repeatedly beating the red-hot iron rod in his left hand.

While!

The sound was deafening.

The red-hot iron rod, after constant beating, can already see the shape of the sword.

The man didn't seem to be a little surprised by the arrival of a few people, and said while beating: "Here, wait a minute, I'll just beat this out of the rough embryo." ”

As he spoke, he swept Xu Luo out of the corner of his eye, let out a light sigh in his mouth, and then threw the iron in his hand that was about to form a rough embryo into the pool on the side.

There was a snorting sound from the pool, and a cloud of white gas bubbled up.

"Third child, you're here!" Xu Jie's face showed joy.

"I said second brother, don't you treat you differently like this, do you? I'll come over with my eldest brother, and you're going to finish the rough embryo, and stop immediately when you see the third brother?" Sui Yan said on the side.

"Sui Xiaoshi, are you dissatisfied, don't you accept us to fight!" Xu Jie lit up the dragon-like muscles on his arm, and then smiled at Sui Yan: "I'm already a seventh-order swordsman!"

"What's wrong with the seventh order? I'm still the eighth order!" Sui Yan looked disdainful: "Don't think that a woman with a few muscles will like you, let's quickly put on your clothes and put away your magical powers." ”

"Hey, you're just jealous. Xu Jie hehe, then put on his clothes, came to a few people, looked at what Xu Luo just wanted to say, then patted his head, and said: "Look at my memory, I just polished a short sword in the past few days, I guess you will like it." ”

As he spoke, he turned and went into the house again.

"Second brother, what about the long sword you promised me earlier?" Sui Yan shouted at Xu Jie's back.

"Wait!" Xu Jie's muffled voice came from the room.

"Tsk...... What eccentricity!" Sui Yan muttered.

Afterwards, Xu Jie took out a short sword more than a foot long from the room, and the shark skin scabbard was also inlaid with several turquoise gems.

These gems are not for decoration, but authentic water-attribute gems, which are used to warm the short sword in the scabbard!

Not to mention the short sword, the value of these gems alone is enough to make ordinary people feel staggered.

casually handed the short sword to Xu Luo: "Oh, take a look, do you like it?"

Xu Jie seems to be rough, but his heart is very fine, and even considering that the third brother's physique is not good, if it were someone else, he would definitely throw the short sword directly.

Xu Luo took the short sword, and it felt very light in his hand, not like a weapon made of steel at all, but more like a ...... A wooden sword!

"So light!" Xu Luo said in surprise.

"Hehe, take it out and take a look, the materials for this short sword, but I have been looking for several years to get enough, alas, it's a pity that the materials are still too scarce, otherwise it will be better to build a long sword!" Xu Jie had a somewhat regretful expression on his face.

Although swords also have heavy swords, the vast majority of swords still take the route of lightness, but the sword forged from steel, no matter how light it is, it is impossible to be like this one in Xu Luo's hand, as if it were nothing.

Xu Luo gently pulled out the short sword, and a cold air erupted, and the blade as blue as water almost shook under the sunlight.

Hiss!

Huangfu Chongzhi and Sui Yan on the side gasped, and their eyes were almost straight.

"This ...... Is this water blue essence gold?" Although he was obsessed with refining medicine, the corners of Huangfu Chongzhi's mouth twitched slightly, his eyes were pulled out of the short sword in Xu Luo's hand with difficulty, and he looked at Xu Jie and said, "Second child, do you want to kill the third child?"

Sui Yan, who was salivating over the short sword in Xu Luo's hand, also raised his head, looked at Xu Jie seriously and said, "Second brother, this time it's really your fault, this kind of weapon, you give it to the second brother, it will really kill him!"

"Ha Lu haha, look at what scared you, I can't think of my problem that you all think of?" Xu Jie laughed happily, and then said to Xu Luo: "Third child, you press the gem on the hilt of the sword and try it." ”

Xu Luo was also a little stunned, the value of this sword was too great, even if all the assets of the entire Champion Hou Mansion were added together, they might not be able to buy the water blue essence gold that cast this short sword, I really don't know where I got this thing from my second brother.

Listening to Xu Jie's words, Xu Luo subconsciously pressed the orange gem above the hilt of the sword, located in the middle of the gauntlet.

Brush it up!

All the blue light on the blade of the sword disappeared, and with it a faint gray color, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary short sword!

Xu Luo and the others were dumbfounded.
