In the palace of the Jin Dynasty in Taiyuan, Li Keyong was watching a few guard competitions in the garden, pointing from time to time.

Someone came to report: "Lord Wang, Jinzhou is 600 miles urgent." ”

Li Keyong: "Oh, come in!" After speaking, he waved his hand, telling the guards to stop fighting and step aside.

The messenger arrived in front of Li Keyong, knelt down on one leg, and handed over the letter.

Li Keyong took the letter, looked at the envelope, his face was covered with doubt, and said, "Six hundred miles urgent." Then he looked at the messenger: "You get up." ”

The messenger stood up and stood with his head bowed.

Rick paced a few steps in front of him. "You're from Jinju?"

The messenger replied, "No." Jinju sent a letter to Qianlifeng, who returned in Jinzhong for some reason. The villain is a soldier of the post station in Jinzhong, and he was ordered by the head of the post station to send a letter written by Qianlifeng. Lord Qianlifeng was afraid of delaying the transfer time, so he specially ordered the villain to submit it to the prince in person with an expedited 600 miles after arriving at the palace. ”

"I see," Rick waved his hand, "you stand down." After that, he tore open the envelope and began to read.

He perused it twice. Then he beckoned, and one of the guards ran over. "Go, notify the guards at the front gate, there is a report from Jinju, and send it to this king immediately, without delay. ”

Li Keyong made it clear that the other half of the letter set off as an ordinary letter two days before the half of the letter was sent, and the time was almost up.

Coincidentally, before Li Keyong sat down and drank a cup of tea, a subordinate came to report, "Lord Wang, Jinzhou reports." ”

"Present it. ”

In the study, Li Keyong laid the two halves of the letter flat and read: "Today, I know that the folk Chen family makes artifacts, which can wear armor and hurt people hundreds of steps away, and they are invisible. If it is used in warfare, ten can be worth a thousand, and hegemony can be achieved. Chen asked for ten thousand gold, and sealed ten thousand households. Submit to the father's decision.

Son-in-law Li Siyuan presented.

Rick paced back and forth for a long time. In the end, he recruited the guards: "Pass on the thirteenth Taibao Li Cunxiao." ”

Li Cunxiao was the first fierce general at that time, the spear in his hand, invincible all over the world, even in the thirteen Taibao with outstanding martial arts, he was also standing out from the crowd, known as "the first shot in the world". Li Keyong adopted him as a righteous son, appreciated him Yuga, and specially stayed by his side, listening to it sooner or later.

Li Cunxiao entered Li Keyong's study: "See my father." ”

Li Ke beckoned: "Cunxiao, come and read this letter from your eldest brother Heiyuan." ”

Li Cunxiao walked to the desk and saw two pieces of letterhead. He certainly knows how to read. At that time, passwords were not used, and dismantling and writing was a common method of transmitting top-secret information, and as a high-ranking general, he naturally understood it. After reading the letter, he muttered, "There is such an artifact?"

Li Keyong: "Its magic lies in the invisible. In terms of power, although the bow and crossbow arrows cannot penetrate the armor, they can also hurt the unarmored and shieldless within a hundred steps, which is not too strong in comparison. But it is invisible, it is difficult to cover and dodge, and let it be beaten. ”

Li Cunxiao: "It is indeed a sharp weapon, when fighting, if the soldiers have a hand, they will definitely be able to reach a thousand, and they will be invincible." ”

Li Keyong did not show joy, but said suspiciously: "Do you believe that there is indeed such a thing?"

Li Cunxiao: "The eldest brother has always been steady, if he is not sure, how can he dare to report to his father?"

Li Keyong didn't pay attention to what Li Cunxiao said, but muttered to himself: "Ten thousand households will be rewarded with ten thousand gold, and ten thousand households will be rewarded with ten thousand gold." ”

Li Cunxiao seemed to understand something, and said: "Father, the son is in a hurry to go to Jinzhou and bring the Chen family back to Taiyuan as soon as possible." ”

Li Ke hummed, nodded and said, "If things are blocked, the Chen family will be slaughtered." ”

"Order!" Li Cunxiao withdrew.

Heart of Kings difficulty. Li Keyong is happy for the artifact, but also worried about the artifact. Does Li Siyuan have the intention of using an artifact to make conditions to himself? If the general guarding the frontier gains wings, he will not be able to control it, but will suffer from it. At the same time, he also intended to reveal his intentions to Li Cunxiao and probe his reaction. Li Cunxiao is a martial artist, thinking that he is smart and can understand the meaning of his father. I just don't know that the most taboo thing in the emperor's family is to have his mind guessed. So, Li Keyong thought: I have to guard against Li Cunxiao. This thought of his paved the way for the father and son to turn against each other in the future, and the story that led to it has been passed down for thousands of years.

The topic turned to Jinju City, where there is still an unsolved mystery. Tang Susu couldn't figure it out: how could Chen Xingwen become a villain, vulgar and scoundrel.

Speaking of Chen Xingwen, let's talk a few words about his family background first. His father's name was Chen Hengzhi, an official in charge of handicrafts in the Tang Dynasty, who was proficient in the art of machine springs and was an expert in this field. He was an upright person, but he offended his boss when he inspected a batch of objects that entered the palace and was demoted to Taiyuan. After resigning, he wanted to return to his hometown Jiangnan, but he couldn't afford to fall ill on the way, so he had to stay in Jinju, bought a thin field and a private house, barely survived, and soon died of depression.

Chen Xingwen lost his mother at an early age. He was intelligent, studious, and ingenious, and under the influence of his father, he developed a strong interest in handicraft, mechanical principles, etc. It's a pity that he was born in that era of war, and it is difficult to use it.

He also has an older brother named Chen Xingwu who looks very similar to him, and his temperament is completely different from him.

Chen Xingwu doesn't learn anything, he is lazy to eat, and his family background has changed, but he always wants to live the life of a son-in-law. He never farmed the family's fields, and went into Jinju City every day to mingle with a few markets and do some stealing chickens and dogs for a living.

Chen Xingwen couldn't control him, he only cared about studying and plowing the fields by himself, and also made some exquisite objects in exchange for money to maintain the family, and his life was leisurely.

Seeing the secret weapon of the Tang Sect that day stimulated his great interest. Tang Susu's beautiful appearance became his driving force. He secretly swore that he must make an artifact that is more powerful than the secret weapon of the Tang Sect.

After a year of thinking, experimenting, thinking, and experimenting, he finally made a powerful secret weapon. It is a weapon that spans the ages, and it can make any martial arts master fearful.

What his younger brother did, of course, was exposed in Chen Xingwu's eyes. He saw the results of the experiment. At the same time as he was surprised, a sweet dream also arose: Wouldn't presenting this artifact to the King of Jin be exchanged for a lifetime of wealth?

"Xingwen, what is your object called?" Chen Xingwu asked, pointing to the iron pipe with a handle that was more than three feet long in his brother's hand.

"I don't know what it's called, how about calling it the Chen's secret weapon?" Chen Xingwen smiled, he only thought of comparing it with the Tang Sect's secret weapon, so the name he wanted revolved around the secret weapon.

Chen Xingwu thought for a while: "The hidden weapon is not very appropriate. The hidden weapon is silent and relatively small. The sound of this object was too loud, and it was so long. ”

Chen Xingwen nodded: "Makes sense." Hey, it doesn't matter what it's called. What you said should indeed be improved. If you can keep it silent and make it shorter, it will be a real secret weapon. ”
