The flash of inspiration lasted only a moment.
The four words on the plaque seemed to have turned into a sword, but they were not so real.
Li Wantong was not a swordsman, so he didn't notice anything strange.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Yu Zhi and Li Wantong walked in hand in hand.
The courtyard walls of Lihua Xiaozhu are just some fences, which further reflects the leisure and contentment of seclusion.
Outside the courtyard is a pear blossom forest, and there is also a pear blossom tree in the courtyard. Whether it is the vast pear forest or the pear trees in front of you, it is not a beautiful sight in this season.
The fallen leaves on the ground in the courtyard are covered with golden leaves. There is an old wicker chair and a stone table beside a small lake, with a wine bottle on the table.
Because it rained last night, there was still a lot of rain.
Yu Zhi picked up the wine bottle, opened the cork, and smelled it.
The aroma of wine rushed into Yu Zhi's nose.
There was no more wine in the bottle, but the aroma was still there. The fragrance of pear blossoms and the mellowness of wine blend together to create a unique aroma.
Yu Zhi swallowed, but his mouth felt a little dry.
"This should be the residence of a certain swordsmith." Yu Zhi said, "But it seems that the swordsmith has long since passed away, and this little pear blossom building has been abandoned."
Li Wantong walked to the pear tree.
The pear trees in the courtyard are much taller than those in the vast pear forest.
Yu Zhi looked at Li Wantong and said with a smile: "If it were spring now, Tong'er standing under this tree would definitely be a beautiful sight."
The beauty twists the flowers and sways gently in the wind, and the shadows of the flowers stir up people's hearts.
The picture of Li Wantong standing under the pear tree, with scattered shadows of flowers and a bright smile, appeared in Yu Zhi's mind.
Li Wantong looked back and smiled, his cheeks slightly red. "It's just embarrassing to me."
Yu Zhi smiled and looked around Lihua Xiaozhu.
Since it is the residence of the swordsmith, there may be a hidden sword. If it is an excellent sword, it must be hidden in the Sword House, or there may be an accompanying sword in the Sword Making Mountain.
How to find it?
Searching with the naked eye is the most inferior method.
Yu Zhi took out three Jianlu tokens from his arms. Two of the tokens belonged to Yu Zhi and Ye Qinghuan, and the remaining one belonged to Xiao Jun'er.
Ye Qinghuan obtained Po Qiong and did not use the Jianlu token in the process of recognizing his master.
But Yu Zhi felt that Tong Qingshan would not lie to him.
Both the Jianlu tokens and the swords from Zhujian Mountain come from Zhujian Mountain, so they will definitely have a weak connection with them.
If the sword has a spirit, it will be closely related to the sword and lodge token made from the same source.
Yu Zhi placed three Jianlu tokens on the table.
Li Wantong asked: "What is this going to do?"
Yu Zhi looked at the pear blossom building in full view and said, "Looking for the sword."
As he spoke, Yu Zhi circulated his true energy and poured it into the three Jianlu tokens.
The next moment, the token hung in the air, emitting a faint white light.
There was no movement in the peaceful Lihua Xiaozhu.
At this time, many sword cultivators found swords on the Sword Making Mountain. These swords are far from the century-old swords, but these sword cultivators are equally satisfied.
They knew that the century-old sword would never be their turn, and it was a worthwhile trip to obtain a sword forged at the Sword Forging Mountain.
Excited cheers erupted from time to time from all over the Sword-making Mountain.
Guo Ji's voice echoed over Zhujian Mountain again.
"If you find the sword you like, please leave as soon as possible. And don't forget the promise you made to Jianlu."
The promise naturally refers to the contract.
Everyone saluted to the peak of Zhujian Mountain, and then went down the mountain along the Sword Embryo Mountain Road.
Naturally, these swords were hidden in the mountains under Guo Ji's instructions, waiting for these sword cultivators to discover them.
Swords that last a hundred years are rare. Except for swords that last a hundred years, there are countless swords in Zhujian Mountain that can never be used up.
Xiao Juner was not in a hurry to find the sword.
Before looking for the sword, she visited Guo Ji and Tong Qingshan, hoping to exchange the reputation of Qingcheng Palace for a good sword.
But a peerless sword cannot be obtained by trading.
A sword can only be called "peerless" if it has a magical formula, and a sword that can be called "peerless" also has strict requirements for the sword owner.
Sword masters who once had a sword for a hundred years, such as Zhou Ping and others, are not the masters of their generation. Even if they were unknown when they took the sword, they have become giants of the sword in the future.
Although he rejected Xiao Jun'er, Guo Ji still gave Xiao Jun'er some suggestions.
At this time, Xiao Jun'er looked at Yu Zhi in Lihua Xiaozhu, feeling secretly resentful in his heart. One of the Jianlu tokens belongs to her.
"If you really find the sword later, go and grab it." Xiao Jun'er whispered.
She followed Yu Zhi with Nanny Lin and Shi San all the way, and she was very far away. Watching Yu Zhi and Li Wantong flirting, she felt even more angry.
Nanny Lin and Waiter San looked at each other.
The two of them can naturally deal with Yu Zhi together.
But is this good?
Xiao Yuner, the princess of Qingcheng, was used to being lawless, and Granny Lin was specifically looking at Xiao Yuner during this trip.
"Princess, after Yu Zhi's death, Li Haomiao and even the prince have to give in. It's not easy to turn against Yu Zhi at this time," said Granny Lin.
Xiao Jun'er said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? This princess just wants the sword, not to hurt his life. It would be too embarrassing for Li Haomiao to take care of this."
Nanny Lin knew Xiao Jun'er's temperament and stopped trying to persuade her.
As long as Yu Zhi's life is not hurt, this little fight really doesn't matter.
Nanny Lin looked at Xiao Jun'er, only to see Xiao Jun'er staring straight at the young man in Lihua Xiaozhu, with a look in her eyes that she had never seen before.
Unknowingly, the princess was already so old and it was time for marriage.
However, the girl next to Yu Zhi...
...
In Jiangnan City, the story of seizing the sword at Zhujian Mountain has spread throughout the streets.
At the entrance of major gambling houses, some people make a lot of money, while others lose everything.
This is a big gamble.
Ye Qinghuan is not a dark horse, so the major gambling houses are the biggest winners.
In the next few days, there will be a battle for the sword on Zhujian Mountain in restaurants and teahouses.
Ye Qinghuan, Cao Jiujian and other thunderous names appeared in everyone's mouth.
The thrilling scenes in the battle for the sword are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people through the vivid rendering of the storyteller.
The biggest winner in the battle for the sword is undoubtedly Ye Qinghuan, but what must be mentioned is the "resurrection from the dead" Yu Zhi.
The appearance of Yu Zhi changed the trend of the battle for the sword.
Just that one star killing formation killed many sword cultivators.
A red fire talisman also caused everyone to lose the opportunity to fight for the broken sky.
The reputation of the young King of Hell surpassed that of Ye Qinghuan, the master of the Sky-Breaking Sword.
The mysterious color of resurrection from the dead and the righteousness that saved the lives of his brothers undoubtedly made Yu Zhi the sweetheart of thousands of girls in Nanzhou Prefecture.
"The King of Hell shows up to block the attack, dare to find a good opportunity for your best friend!"
When the gavel fell, the storyteller did not hesitate to express his praises.
"Okay, okay! Reward!" Fang Tao applauded and ordered his servants to send the reward to the storyteller.
That day, he was sure that Yu Zhi was not dead, so he just put Yu Zhi's name on the gambling house. A heavy bet was placed on Yu Zhi.
Although we lost, it doesn't matter.
At this time, a servant sent a letter.
Fang Tao took the letter and looked at it. There was a mysterious mark stamped on the envelope.
Fang Tao knew that this was the private seal of his father, Marquis Zhenyuan. Once the private seal was used, it meant that the matter in the letter was extremely important.
Even if Fang Tao is uneducated, he still knows the importance of this letter.
...
At the same time, in the palace of the King of Chu, Xiang Ji was sitting on the throne, and all the people from Yanyun and eighteen riding in Jiangnan City gathered here.
Yesterday, Xiang Ji failed to catch up with Li Haomiao.
But Li Haomiao's escape gave Xiang Ji more confidence.
If you can defeat Li Haomiao once, you can defeat Li Haomiao a second time.
As for the ownership of the century-old sword, Xiang Ji doesn't care. What he was concerned about was the woman named Jiang Xiyue.
Jiang Xiyue disappeared after leaving Zhujian Mountain.
With the cover of Yanyu Tower, even if Xiang Ji wants to find Jiang Xiyue, it will not be easy.
Xiang Ji could only send more manpower to look for Jiang Xiyue.
Xiao Jingyu came to Nanzhou from the north. Because Xiao Jingyao also came to Nanzhou after his wedding, Xiao Jingyu was even more afraid of Xiao Jingyao.
He has been compared with Xiao Jingyao since he was a child, and he has to compete with Xiao Jingyao in everything.
It's just that the older Xiao Jingyao doesn't fight with him and lets him do everything.
Now, Xiao Jingyu felt in his heart, why could my brother, who is not as good as me in everything, sit on the throne of the prince? This throne should be mine!
Of course, this would also involve Xiang Ji's fanning the flames.
"Inform the commanders of the counties in Nanzhou to wait for Xiao Jingyu to arrive in Jiangnan City and raise troops to enter the capital. The banner: Night Ghost is born to protect the capital!" Xiang Ji said.
Everyone should claim that they knew Xiang Ji's purpose all along.
In the past, there was a Li Haomiao who hindered him from doing anything.
Now Xiang Ji has also become a tenth-level master and defeated Li Haomiao.
If you don’t do it now, when will you wait?
Xiang Yan said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Bai Yu still have to recuperate for some time. How should they arrange it?"
Xiang Ji had already had an idea. "Bai Yu's father is the Minister of Household Affairs, and the Bai family's business has a lot of money. Let Bai Wanqian use the silver to redeem him."
"As for the Crown Prince... hmph, this is useless. Let him find the princess, otherwise he won't have to go back to Prince Chu's Mansion!"
Xiang Ji hoped that Jiang Xiyue could still remember the love between mother and son that had lasted twenty years.
The woman in red shirt's eyes turned cold. The Lord is still thinking about this bitch Jiang Xiyue!
For twenty years, the woman in red shirt accompanied Xiang Yu in Nanzhou and did much more than Jiang Xiyue, but Xiang Ji never looked at her.
"Zhenyuan Marquis Fang Nanhu has been away from Kyoto for several days. How should we deal with this person?" Xiang Yan asked.
Xiang Ji said calmly: "He will not surrender to me. Just kill him."
Xiang Ji said to the woman in red shirt: "Draft a letter to all the important families in Nanzhou Prefecture."
The woman in red shirt nodded knowingly. "Please rest assured, Lord."
The content of the letter does not require Xiang Ji to elaborate further.
If anyone knows Xiang Ji's thoughts best, it is undoubtedly the woman in red shirt.
But what the woman in red shirt didn't understand was that she, who knew Xiang Ji best, could not be Xiang Ji's woman.
"The sword catcher and Wu You are dead. The sword catcher died in the hands of Li Haomiao, and Wu You died in an unknown manner. Let people go and investigate." Xiang Ji continued to give instructions.
The woman in red shirt said: "I'm afraid it's Emperor Chu's handiwork."
Xiang Ji snorted coldly. "Xiao Yuande... was just an unpopular prince back then. He should be content after sitting on the throne for twenty years."
"Starting tomorrow, Xiang Yan will be in charge of Jiangnan City, and the red-shirted woman will organize the troops and horses of Nanzhou. The rest will follow the red-shirted woman's orders."
"Cao Ling, go out with me."
