Entering the backyard, there are nine sika deer in the backyard of the blacksmith shop, with pricked ears and smart eyes looking left and right. Wang Tie pointed at the deer and said, "Do you know why your knife costs three hundred taels of silver?" Lu Yunli only heard that this person was a famous knifesmith nearby, and he didn't know the secret, so he didn't talk.

Wang Tieshou saw that Lu Yunli didn't speak, and then he continued: "See the sika deer I have here." Every day when I feed the deer, I add a small amount of beef bone meal and iron powder to the food, and the deer blood is quenched, and the blade is extremely hard and can be sharpened. More importantly, the deer has spirituality, and the iron tools cast also have spirituality. Most weapons have spirituality, but only a few people in this world can perceive this spirituality and use it, which is why the good players in the rivers and lakes have to have a unique weapon of their own at any cost. It's a pity that most people only think that swords are nothing more than killing tools. ”

Wang Tieshou said and walked into a room, pointing to a black knife on the desk: "This is what you want, made of the dark iron you brought, according to the drawings you drew for me, the shape and size are not the same." ”

Lu Yunli picked up the knife, the blade was straight and slender, one inch wide, with a blade on one side and a flat back on the other. The head of the knife is beveled and sharp, and the blade of the knife is black, because this knife is black all over, and it is named Moxin. The handle of the knife is two pieces of reddish and blackened mahogany that has been oxidized for many years, and the inlay is firm. The same goes for the scabbard, which is devoid of any elaborate ornamentation, unobtrusive, unobtrusive, durable, and easy to hold.

Wang Tieshou said proudly: "I used this weapon for nine days, and I worked tirelessly to build this ink heart, and now I look at this knife, I feel that it is worth it!"

Lu Yunli held the ink heart in his hand, satisfied in his heart, and bowed deeply to Wang Tie's hand: "This knife is exactly what I want." ”

Wang Tieshou: "Although I don't know your intentions, I have been with you for more than 20 days, and I feel that you are thoughtful and cautious, and I have nothing to help you except this knife." ”

Lu Yunli: "Master Wang has worked hard these days, this is already the greatest help to me, I have made an appointment with others, so don't say goodbye." Lu Yunli bowed again, didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the blacksmith shop, all the way north, and disappeared into the crowd on the street.

When the scorching sun was in the sky, Lu Yunli wrapped Mo Xin in rags, carried it on his back, and walked firmly and vigorously step by step. Out of the city, to the north, it is already the land of the northern frontier, and further north is the grassland, where is the blue wolf country of the iron horse scimitar.

Lu Yunli didn't stop, continued to walk north, entered the grassland, and walked for a total of five days, all the way was green grass on the side, and occasionally saw herdsmen driving a large number of sheep. The herdsmen here are very hospitable, and Lu Yunli speaks fluent blue wolf language, all the way north, and the walk is very comfortable.

Until the evening of the fifth day, Lu Yunli stopped at a mass grave, in which there were forty large and small graves, all of which were buried indiscriminately, most of them were dirt bags, and occasionally there was a broken wooden plank with the name of the buried person written on it. Only the two tombs in the middle are neatly arranged, there are no tombstones, but there is a large stone in front of each tomb, and the shallow words engraved on it have been eroded by the wind and sand and have long been blurred. These burial mounds are covered with grass, and from a distance, if it were not for a few stones and planks, they would have become one with the surroundings.

Lu Yunli stood quietly in front of the grave, looking at the words on the stone, suddenly the wind was blowing, Lu Yunli subconsciously grabbed Mo Xin, and when he looked, he saw more than a dozen tall horses standing beside him, each with a big man in wolf skin, carrying a bow and arrow, and a scimitar at his waist.

Lu Yunli let go of Mo Xin, took out a wolf-shaped iron card in his arms, and said loudly in the blue wolf language: "The blue wolf of the world." ”

The Han led by them responded loudly: "Unify the north." ”

Lu Yunli: "I came as promised, where is the king?"

The big man, like Lu Yunli, was a person who didn't talk much, and only said one sentence: "The king is camped ten miles away to wait for Mr. Lu." ”

After that, he moved to Lu Yunli and took the lead in the front, and Lu Yunli skillfully turned over the horse and followed behind. The big man gradually increased his speed, Lu Yunli was skilled in horsemanship, followed closely, and the group galloped towards the camp.

After a while, it was already dark, and the night shrouded the grassland, and the night sky was covered by dense clouds without a trace of light. From a distance, I saw the fire in front of me, and thousands of wolf iron riders surrounded a big tent, and the big tent was even brighter, like a night pearl embedded in the grassland.

When walking in the direction of the big tent, passing by thousands of patrol troops, some people took the initiative to greet Lu Yunli when they saw it, and Lu Yunli responded one by one. Until the big tent, turn over and dismount. The big man lifted the curtain of the big tent, and Lu Yunli entered the tent alone. The huge tent was ten feet square, and one person sat upright, forty-seven or eighteen years old, with slender eyes like eagles and white temples. A dabbling outfit with high leather boots. He wears a gem-encrusted scimitar around his waist, and on the index and middle fingers of his two hands, he wears four rings with strange shapes, which are shaped like wolves when you look closely. This person is the blue wolf king Zabusu who unified the entire northern grassland in the past ten years, and the blue wolf king at this time is looking southward, which is a major heart disease of the Liang Dynasty.

Zabusu was the only one in the tent who sat on a large wolf-skin chair in the center, and there were no servants and maids by his side, for Zabusu felt that these people were too humble to be in the same tent with them.

Seeing Lu Yunli enter the account, Zabusu got up and strode over, opened his arms enthusiastically, and said as he walked: "My most loyal friend, welcome back." As he spoke, he stepped forward with a big hug.

Lu Yunli pressed his right hand to his heart, bent down slightly, saluted with the etiquette of the blue wolf clan, and said: "The king is full of energy, I think there are many rare beauties recently added, and he has won many battles." ”

Zabusu smiled: "In the past five years in the Central Plains, you have learned to compliment people. Those are all fleeting, and most of them are divided among their subordinates. As he spoke, he took Lu Yunli's hand and walked inside.

Lu Yunli said as he walked: "It's not a compliment, the king is really good-looking." The two of them walked over to the two wooden chairs and sat down across from each other.

Zabusu: "Gold and silver beauties are not important to me, what matters now is that without Mr. Lu's advice, it is really laborious to attack some city fortresses, and there are many losses and losses." Now that the northern steppes have been pacified by me, I want to continue southward, and I have heard that the Golden City is a city built of millions of gold. I will go straight to Jincheng, see the frightened appearance of the son of Jincheng, I hope that Mr. Lu can stay here to help me, wait for me to achieve a great cause, and seal you as a marquis of ten thousand households. ”

Lu Yunli did not follow Zabusu's delusions, but said: "My subordinates have been separated from the king for a long time, and I want to catch up with the king. ”

Zabusu already admired Lu Yunli very much, and he didn't answer his words and said downwards without a trace of anger: "Yes, after five years, I see that you are much calmer than when you left." ”

Lu Yunli: "King Xie praises." ”

Zabusu: "I also want to reminisce about the past, and I'm telling me everything you've found out in the past few years." ”

Lu Yunli said slowly: "Ten years ago, my father was the Taishou of Bingma County, and he conspired with the king to attack Bingma County in the south, and the matter was revealed, and the king of Beiling brought thousands of people to my house to arrest people. My father saw that the matter was revealed, and he would definitely not survive if he was caught, and it didn't matter if he died, he couldn't take the whole family with 37 people. Therefore, he could only take the whole family and the four hundred dead soldiers raised on weekdays to fight all the way to the north, and when they arrived at the grassland, only forty-two people were left, and they encountered more than 30 blue wolf cavalry of another tribe in the grassland for no reason. After a lot of fighting, only me and one of the dead were killed among the forty-two of us left, and my father and mother also died in the chaos to protect me. ”

Zabusu frowned, but he didn't interrupt Lu Yunli's words, because Lu Yunli had helped him to make suggestions and conquer everything in the past few years, so he knew that he must have some purpose in saying these words.

Lu Yunli continued: "That dead man is eighteen years older than me, his name is Yang Jie, he is very arrogant on weekdays, and he is not very respectful to my father, so I am very disgusted with this person, and even fabricated things to my father to complain, wanting my father to drive him away. And at that time in the grassland, he fought for me to the end, if it weren't for him, I would have turned into bones. ”

Zabusu was still frowning, although he didn't understand what Lu Yunli meant by what he said, he also faintly felt a bad atmosphere.

Lu Yunli continued: "Yang Jie and I buried a total of 40 people from the Lu family and the dead on the spot, and there was no tombstone, so we could only temporarily raise two stones as tombstones and engrave their names with a residual knife. At this time, you came to meet us with an army of a thousand men, and when you saw this scene, you shouted that it was too late. Then I followed you back to your tribe and lived for a month, you see that I am a weak scholar, but it is a good strategy, so I will leave me by your side to give you advice, Yang Jie does not want to stay in the grassland, and after recovering from his injuries, he will go south alone. I added a word after my name to imply the separation of relatives and deaths, and then with the king's expedition to the east and west, until five years ago, the king asked me to go south to help you understand the people of the Central Plains so that you can enter Jincheng in the future. ”

Zabusu never understood why Lu Yunli said this, and only said: "You are back now, we still join forces together, first take Bingma County, kill the King of Beiling to avenge your father, and then take Jincheng directly and sit on the throne of the Son of Heaven." After saying "haha", he laughed wildly, as if the entire golden city was already in his pocket.

Lu Yunli suddenly looked directly at the Blue Wolf King, his tone was still calm, and said, "I haven't helped the king find out the news in the past five years. ”

Zabusu's laughter stopped dumbly, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but just when he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, a pitch-black knife had already passed through his heart, and he couldn't say anything more. It was only a momentary effort to close the knife, it was clean and neat, there was no sound, and no abnormality was detected outside the big tent.
