"Although the old man has a strange temper, he is still very kind at heart. ”

Tang Qing led Mu Sanqian to the independent courtyard and left first, leaving only one sentence before leaving.

It's okay not to say it, Tang Qing's words made Mu Sanqian feel inexplicably nervous.

The layout of the single courtyard is obviously different from other places in Tang Mansion, and many of the furnishings here seem simple and simple, but every object is also extremely exquisite and rare.

Tang Lu had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, and the elders were respected, so Mu Sanqian still walked a few steps quickly, and took his hand to salute first.

"Lord Xiaomu, my second brother is in a lot of difficulties, and I ask Lord Xiaomu not to take it to heart. ”

Mr. Tang said seriously, but he felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge. ”

Mu Sanqian was invited by Tang Lu to the pavilion in the courtyard, there is only a blue tile brick house in the single courtyard, but it is very hot inside, and the furnace room that belongs to Mr. Tang Lu is also located here.

Sitting a little farther away from the pavilion, my breathing suddenly became much easier.

"Lord Xiaomu came to my Tang Mansion this time, and he went straight to the old decay, but I don't know what Lord Xiaomu wants?"

"Now that I have seen Mr. Tanglu with my own eyes, the kid will no longer beat around the bush. ”

Mu Sanqian's trip can be regarded as a wish to meet Tang Lu, as for whether he can ask the Tang family to help him cast a sword, it depends on his own creation.

"The boy came to visit this time because he had something to ask for. ”

As he spoke, Mu Sanqian took out the black ring ruler from his waist, held the other end of the back ring ruler with one hand and put it on the index finger of the other hand, and respectfully handed it over.

"Tangfu is a sword-casting family, the kid wants to ask for a natal sword, if you need a gratuity, I will find a way to raise it, if there are other conditions, as long as it does not violate the bottom line, the kid will not give up. ”

Tang Lu did not directly say yes or no, he lifted the sleeves of the brocade robe and took the ring ruler of Mu Sanqian with the thin palm.

"What is the origin of this ruler, can you tell me about it?"

The black ring ruler was unpretentious, and it was as light as nothing as if it were pinched in Tang Lu's hand, and his shining eyes stared at the ring ruler for a long time before he asked.

"Forgive me for being rude, the origin of this ruler cannot be explained. ”

Before he failed to take revenge, Mu Sanqian's relationship with An Du Shan was regarded as an ulterior bottom line, not only because he would suffer a disaster because of this, but also because he would suffer a lot of extra pressure on his grandfather.

"Since this is the case, I don't have to be embarrassed by the old age, and I don't feel embarrassed. ”

Tang Lu was still staring at the ring ruler, as if he had accidentally obtained some great treasure.

"My second brother should have let you touch a dark and ugly stone before, right?"

Tang Lu returned the ring ruler to Mu Sanqian and put it away, then got up from the stone bench and smoothed his robe.

"Yes. ”

Mu Sanqian put away the ring ruler and followed.

"What do you feel on that stone?"

"It doesn't hurt to say it bluntly, the old man is no longer the head of the Tang family, you have the right to be an elder, an old man with a strange temper. ”

As if worried that Mu Sanqian would hide something, Tang Lu hurriedly said again.

"That stone should be the same thing as the ring ruler I have on me. ”

After a little hesitation, Mu Sanqian still chose to tell the truth.

"Hahaha-"

Tang Lu laughed out loud when he heard Mu Sanqian's answer, and he heard a hairbreak behind Mu Sanqian.

"If the second brother knew that you were hiding and deceiving him like this, it is estimated that his lungs would explode with anger. ”

"The second master?"

"It's okay, it's okay if he doesn't know, and it will be even more difficult for the province to know. ”

Tang Lu's words Mu Sanqian was completely confused, but he could only follow alongside.

"You are too old, so it shouldn't be too much to call you a wooden boy. ”

"As it should be. ”

Mu Sanqian smiled on his face, but he secretly wondered in his heart, why was he still very respectful of a little Mu Lord just now, and this would be directly Mu Boy? Could it be because he has something to ask for others, so he is like this?

It shouldn't be.

"The old man held a hammer at the age of seven in the Tang family, and cast a sword for sixty years, if there is no accident, the old man will cast the sword endlessly until the day he dies. Everyone in the world praises the old decay and forged sword, don't you know that the simplest and most difficult thing in this world is nothing more than insistence. ”

Here Mu Sanqian has not yet figured out why Tang Lu's mentality has changed so much before and after, and Tang Lu has already begun to talk to Mu Sanqian about forging swords and striking iron in his life.

"On today's list of famous weapons, including the Tsing Yi Futu that the sword god Ning Xiaoyao asked for from the Tibetan Sword Villa, six of them are from my Tang family, and three of them are cast by the old man himself. ”

"Tsing Yi Futu?"

Mu Sanqian really didn't expect that Old Man Ning's famous sword Tsing Yi Futu, which had long been rusted, was also from Tang Lu's hand.

"That's right, it's Tsing Yi Futu. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Lu's equally thin face showed a bit of pride.

"When I heard that Tsing Yi Futu was forcibly taken away from Tibetan Sword Villa by Ning Xiaoyao, I was actually happy in my heart. A good sword naturally has to be followed by a swordsman who matches it, rather than being dusted in the sword warehouse by the Tibetan Sword Villa, it is better to follow Ning Xiaoyao to the rivers and lakes to stir up the wind and rain, so as not to fall into the fifth place on the list of famous weapons. ”

"Make the best use of things, swords and weapons, fierce, and be quietly hidden for a lifetime, I'm afraid these swords will also be unwilling. ”

Tang Lu didn't expect Mu Sanqian to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but have a little more approval in his eyes.

"Do you know which one I am most proud of in my life?"

"Aren't they the ones on the list?"

Tang Lu himself had said that there were three swords from him on the famous weapon list, but when he asked this question now, it was obvious that the answer would not be so simple.

"I am naturally glad that the sword forged by the old decay can be ranked on the list of famous weapons by the world. But it has nothing to do with the size of the fame, in the eyes of the old man, every sword from the hands of the old man is the best, and each of them can be completed by the old man's hard work. ”

"However, over the years, there have been not thousands but hundreds of swords that have gone out of the hands of the old man, and most of them have never returned. There is only one war knife, and the owner of that war knife, which makes the old man miss the most. ”

That's still the old Tang Dynasty.

There was a young general from Liaodong, who was appreciated by the imperial court in the fight to the death with the northern Xinjiang, and the emperor at that time rewarded the general with a saber forged by Tang Lu.

One day many years later, this general, who was already a great soldier, suddenly came to Xiangyang, and came with him, along with the saber that had followed him in the southern and northern wars for many years.

It's just that when the saber returned to Tang's house again, it was broken in two.

Some people also persuaded the general that if the knife is broken, it will be broken, and then replace it with a new one, and replace it with a better one.

The general just smiled and said, don't change it, just use this knife.

The saber that was broken in two on the battlefield was brought back to the general for the Tang family to repair, and Tang Lu felt that this was the glory of his life.
