Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Palace's Offering of Knives
Guoyunfeng hurried overnight, waited until dawn, bought a fast horse in the town, and after a day of galloping, by the evening, had arrived at Shengjing. He tied his horse to www.biquge.info woods outside the city, then removed the leopard's head from the handle of his sword and put it in his pocket by the saddle. The purple gold knife with a leopard's head was ugly without a leopard's head, so he pulled out his knife and cut off a piece of pine wood, carved a dragon head and put it on the handle, and went into the city with the knife.
Shengjing is Shenyang, which was captured by the Qing Dynasty Heavenly Mandate Khan Nurhachi from the Ming Dynasty in the first year of the Apocalypse, and was later renamed Shengjing by his son Tiancong Khan Emperor Taiji. The transportation here is convenient, and the people are abundant, but if you talk about the gathering of humanities, the prosperity of commerce is still far from that of the Ming Dynasty.
Guo Yunfeng found Prince Rui's mansion, only to see that it was much more humble than the prince's mansion of the Ming Dynasty, even if the mansion of the godson of the Ming Emperor must be much more magnificent than here. He walked around the palace and felt that the guards were not very strict. He looked at the terrain and went straight to the palace.
The palace guards were surprised to see a Han man in shabby clothes, and said loudly: "Stop, stop, what are you doing?"
Guo Yunfeng said: "The villain has something important to ask to see the prince, and he looks in and makes a sound." ”
The guard looked at Guo Yunfeng: "What is your relationship with the prince?"
Guo Yunfeng said: "The villain has nothing to do with the prince, but he accidentally got a treasure knife, and he knows that the prince likes to collect divine weapons, so he came to offer a knife to the prince." ”
The guard saw Yun Feng's strange appearance and extraordinary bearing, and he didn't dare to delay, and said, "Okay, you wait first, I'll go in and say goodbye!"
It didn't take much effort, but the guard came back, and his tone softened a lot: "Come in with me!"
Guo Yunfeng followed the guard into the palace. He looked left and right, which aroused the displeasure of the guard, and shouted, "Look, it's here!"
As he spoke, a large building appeared in front of him. In front of the building, there were eight samurai with their whole bodies draped and with a tiger's back, and the colors of their armor were yellow, yellow, white, white, blue, blue, red, and red.
Guo Yunfeng knew that these eight colors happened to be the eight colors of the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty, and said secretly: "If it weren't for me having something important to do, I would definitely draw my sword and kill you at this moment." ”
When I came inside, I saw a dignified-looking, thirty-year-old man sitting on the chair of the Taishi in the middle, but his face was yellow, and his hands couldn't help trembling, which was caused by excessive wine. Behind him stood an old man in his fifties. Eagle eyes nose uplift, Haikou square ears, a four-foot long sword hanging obliquely around the waist. Guo Yunfeng said secretly: "I have heard that there is a Manchu master in the Qing Kingdom, and his name is 'Fighting Wolf' Suo Long. If I'm not mistaken, this is the person. He walked closer and said, "Xiaomin has seen the prince!"
The old man said sharply: "You madman, why don't you kneel when you see the prince?"
Guo Yunfeng said: "Xiaomin is a countryman, and he only understands the gift of the countryside!"
The old man said, "Quickly kowtow to the prince, or be careful that I will cut you off with a sword." ”
The young man was none other than Dolgon, the prince of the Great Qing Rui, and he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't worry about the countrymen. You said you had come to offer me a sword, so bring it up!"
Guo Yunfeng presented the knife with both hands.
Dolgon took the knife in his hand, grasped the hilt of the knife, and pulled it out sharply. A cold snap suddenly hit his face, and he couldn't help but gasp: "It's really a good knife!"
Suo Long's eyes were also attracted by the knife, and he sighed and said: "Lord Wang, this is really a treasure knife, and I can't find a second one in the whole world." ”
Guo Yunfeng said secretly: "If I suddenly make a move at this time, I will definitely be able to grab the sword in my hand and kill the two of them, even if there are eight warriors outside the door, they will never be able to stop me." But when he thought of Duan Hongyu's injury, he still held back.
Dolgon looked at it for a long time before returning the knife to its sheath, and his face sank: "How did you get this knife?"
Guo Yunfeng said: "Don't hide it, this knife is passed down by the ancestors!"
"Who are your ancestors?"
"My ancestors are just ordinary people?"
"How can ordinary people have such a precious sword? You can't be stolen, right?"
"My ancestors have loved martial arts for several generations, and they have regarded all kinds of divine weapons as their lives, and have collected many treasures and famous swords, and this is just one of them. ”
Guo Yunfeng's words aroused Dolgon's great interest: "Since your family has many precious swords, why did you only send this one for this king?"
"Because of the fall of the ancestors in the middle of the family, those magic weapons, antique calligraphy and paintings have all been sold, only this treasure knife remains, and the family has been reluctant to sell it, so it has been left until now!"
"What is this knife called?"
"This knife is called the 'Hundred Slash Demon Knife'. ”
Dolgon hadn't heard Yun Feng scold him as a "clear demon", and he was quite happy: "The knife is good, and the name is good." I don't know how many demons you've killed!"
Guo Yunfeng sighed and said: "It's a shame to say that the villain doesn't know martial arts, and he hasn't killed the demon yet. ”
Dorgon laughed, "It seems that you are an honest man. Such a good knife, why didn't you give it to the emperor, why did you send it to me?"
Guo Yunfeng said: "In the eyes of Xiaomin, the prince is the real hero of the world!"
Dolgon said sharply: "Bold grass people, don't talk nonsense, stop talking quickly!" He was still very happy in his heart: "Suo Long, give him three thousand taels of silver!" He originally wanted to reward Yun Feng with three hundred taels of silver, but because of Yun Feng's sycophant, it was instantly doubled tenfold.
Guo Yunfeng said: "Lord Wang, Xiaomin doesn't want money!"
Dorgon was stunned: "Then what do you want?"
"Xiaomin just wants to stay in the palace and do things with the prince!"
"What do you have to do to follow this king?"
"Xiaomin can't do anything else, but the ability to appreciate weapons and antiques is still classy, and I just want to help the prince collect the world's treasures and famous swords, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. ”
"That's all you want?"
Guo Yunfeng said secretly: "This Dolgon deserves to be called 'Prince Rui', and he can't prevaricate in ordinary words. He said in a low voice: "Xiaomin offered a knife to the prince, and he just wanted to take refuge in the prince." The prince is heroic and powerful, and the future is immeasurable, and the small people will be able to have a good future if they follow the prince. ”
Dorgon laughed and said, "This is what you are saying, and this king has already seen it." I see that you are good-looking, and you have special skills, and you serve this king carefully, and you will definitely have a broad future. This king has high hopes for you!"
Guo Yunfeng said: "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Dolgon said: "Suolong, you arrange an envoy for him in the palace first, and then promote him later!" After speaking, he took the knife to the back hall to play.
Suo Long didn't have a good face, and said, "You come with me!"
Guo Yunfeng said secretly: "This Dolgon, he is really a monster among people, I gave him a treasure knife, and he sent me away in two words." ”
Guo Yunfeng and Suo Long came to the backyard stable. Sauron said loudly: "Old Wang!"
An old man of about fifty years old came out of it, and he stepped forward and said, "My lord, what is the matter with the villain?" ”
Suo Long said: "Lao Wang, I'll bring you someone." It's all your own family, you have to be careful!"
The old king said: "The little one understands!"
Suo Long said to Guo Yunfeng: "There is no good errand for the time being, you are wronged here first, the prince values you very much, and you will definitely be reused in the future." ”
Guo Yunfeng said: "Lord Xie!"
Thrawn went. The old king peeked at him and confirmed that he was far away, and then said, "Little brother, where are you from?"
Guo Yunfeng said: "The younger brother was originally from Guannei, but then the family couldn't get by, so he fled to here, and he was desperate, so he sacrificed his knife and went to the palace to get an errand!"
Lao Wang sighed and said: "You are really confused, what are you doing here, this is the Demon Cave of the Ghost Domain, the good thing of being promoted and making a fortune will not be on your head for 10,000 years, in case something goes wrong, the first thing you want is your head." I'm old, I have nowhere to go, relying on the craftsmanship of Soma, I am here to compromise, you are so good age, how magnificent is your appearance, it is a pity to devote yourself here!"
Guo Yunfeng didn't know whether Lao Wang was telling the truth or using his words, so he said: "I have a low ability, I really don't dare to think about it, as long as I can eat well, I will be satisfied." ”
Old Wang sighed and led Yunfeng to see the horses. The horses in the palace were indeed good horses, and they were fat and strong. The errand of passing Yunfeng is dispensable, it can't be to help Lao Wang with horse grass and feed the horses twice in the middle of the night.
After dinner in the evening, Lao Wang arranged a room for Guo Yunfeng. Guo Yunfeng saw that it was very quiet here, and Lao Wang didn't look like a bad person, so he asked: "Master Wang, there are many rules in the palace, and the younger brother has just arrived, and I hope that the old brother will give more instructions." ”
Lao Wang said: "Actually, there is nothing special. This Manchurian rule is much less than that of us Han people, as long as you don't talk nonsense and make trouble, you generally won't have any trouble with you. ”
"I don't know what hobbies the prince has?"
"The prince has a lot of hobbies, horse archery, antique calligraphy and painting, but there is one thing he particularly likes!"
"What is it?"
Lao Wang cautiously glanced out of the window, convinced that no one could lower his voice and said, "The prince's favorite thing in his life is women. In the palace, there are countless beauties. Recently, he got a beautiful woman from the Rakshasa country, with blonde hair, a pair of green eyes, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and a very tall and plump figure, not to mention how beautiful he is, the prince is in the Rakshasa country woman every night, and he loves it very much. The beauties of the Rakshasa country became more and more arrogant, and they didn't take others in their eyes at all. A few days ago, she said that she wanted to ride a horse, but I only went a little slower, and she picked up the whip and whipped me several times, which is really good!"
Guo Yunfeng slapped the table angrily and said loudly: "It's really unreasonable!"
Lao Wang hurriedly said: "Hurry up and be quiet! Be careful that the wall has ears." He put his mouth to Guo Yunfeng's ear and said: "Brother Guo, if you want to please the prince, it's useless to just send some swords and swords, you have to search for more beauties for him." As long as you can get the woman he likes, you will be promoted and rich. ”
Guo Yunfeng said: "Thank you brother for reminding me!"
