Renji looked at him and said: "Xuzi, the 'Shenghong Sword' is already very good, Bala Toast dedicated it to the current emperor, and it is also the credit of Xuzi that you have finally cast the world's famous sword." ”

Ou Xuzi shook his head: "It's not perfect. ”

Renci said: "Even if it is the most perfect for Bala Tusi, the current emperor is nothing more than that, they only know that the Damascus scimitar is invincible in the world, and the 'Shenghong Sword' can be better than the Damascus scimitar, can the emperor not be as good as the treasure, and the Bala Tusima is about to soar." ”

Ou Xuzi smiled bitterly: "It's not good news for me, Bala Toast wants to keep me in the Tusi Mansion for a long time to continue to forge a sword for him, and it's not what I want, so I want to forge a sword that is sharper than the 'Shenghong Sword' and give it to him as a condition in exchange for freedom." ”

Renji said: "Not necessarily, even if you really forge a better sword than the 'Shenghong Sword' to offer to Tusi, can he let you go, have you thought about it, your storage zài is a threat to him." ”

Ou Xuzi thought for a long time before saying: "Brother Renci, people are fish and meat, and I am a sword, so I can only take one step at a time." But to forge a real sword, I'm afraid it won't work without meteorites, the meteorite on the Jade Void Peak you told me last time, can we go for a trip, I desperately want to know if it's the material I need,"

Renji shook his head and replied, "Now is not the time, besides, if you really find Shentie and forge a peerless famous sword, it only belongs to you, not to Bala Toast, do you understand?" ”

On the way back to the house, Ou Xuzi met Li Yunying, a pale green long skirt, light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a black hair pulled into a high beauty bun, bright red lips slightly raised, a beautiful woman, should have enjoyed happiness in the deep boudoir of the Jiangnan water town, but the flowers and rivers flowed, and she was occupied by the rough Bala Toast, and lived a life that was worse than death.

Li Yunying saw him standing down, and whispered: "Mr. Ou, I want to congratulate you, you forged a sword for Tusi to make him soar, and you will also follow him to ascend and glorify your ancestors." ”

Ou Xuzi said: "Why do you want to insinuate and sarcastically mock me like this, who said that I was going to leave with Tusi, he was his thousand households, and it has nothing to do with me, I sue you, you and I are both Han people, and the Han and Yuan people have a deep hatred like the sea, and they will never share the sky." ”

Li Yunying, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at Ou Xuzi and said, "Then I misunderstood, I'm sorry Mr. Ou." ”

Ou Xuzi said: "There is nothing to be sorry for, I said that we are both fallen people at the end of the world, we should understand and take care of each other, Miaoxuan told me more than once about your experience, I am very sympathetic, but I can't help." ”

Li Yunying nodded and said: "I know, Miss Miaoxuan and I are duckweed in the pond, without roots, drifting with the flow, life and death, now that the country is ruined, what can a weak woman do, let's steal a life, this is the only way." ”

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings ** flowers across the river?"

"Men are very good, and they are dressed in fine clothes. The son of the Marquis of Qi and the wife of the Marquis of Wei. The sister of the East Palace, the aunt of Xing Hou, Tan Gongwei is private. The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, and the teeth are like rhinoceros......" Li Yunying floated away softly, leaving Ou Xuzi standing in a daze between the corridors and pavilions.

This is the "Shuoren" from Confucius's "Book of Songs", describing the prosperity and beauty of the Qi girl Zhuang Jiang marrying Wei Zhuang Gong, and focusing on portraying the noble and beautiful image of Zhuang Jiang. Li Yunying read it out today. Ou Xuzi felt the infinite sadness inside.

Bala Toast will not be able to return to the house in a few days, Ou Xuzi proposed to the Chi Na housekeeper that he wanted to go home to see, and the Chi Na steward's eyes rolled and said: "Mr. Ou, forgive me for not being the master, this matter must be decided by Lord Tusi, otherwise no one can walk out of the Tusi Mansion, please Mr. Ou understand my distress." ”

Ou Xuzi said angrily: "How can you say that we are under house arrest by Lord Tusi, how can this be reasonable. ”

The housekeeper of China hurriedly explained: "Lord Tusi was appointed by the emperor today as a thousand households, and Qianhu is both a military organization unit and a local administrative unit, of course he has a lot of things, and he should be back soon, if Mr. Ou has anything unsatisfactory in the Tusi Mansion, please feel free to bring it up, and Chi Na will definitely do it." ”

Ou Xuzi said: "My wife and children at home don't know what the situation is doing, and whether they have no worries about food and clothing, I am very worried. ”

The butler replied with a smile: "Mr. Ou don't have to worry, Lord Tusi will send a cart of clothes and food before leaving, and the lady and the child will not be hungry." ”

Ou Xuzi had nothing to say.

When he got up that morning, he came to the pile of rotten iron again and squatted down to look at it carefully, and a piece of black and shiny iron ore caught his attention, which was the size of an ordinary rice bowl when he picked it up, and it was cold and cold in his hand, heavier than iron ore, and it glowed blue under the sun.

Ou Xuzi's heart moved, instinctively felt that this piece of iron was unusual, and a thought suddenly came to him, could it be a meteorite, mixed with pearls, mixed with scrap iron ore, and it showed its difference.
