Legend has it that armor made of gold threads can withstand damage from lovers' arrows.
Once this rumor spread, it caused an uproar in the world, so much so that the golden threads that were supposed to be used for offerings to the court almost disappeared from the world.
Xuzhou Sword Building Hall, lobby.
The chief helmsman Li Qingyang was sitting in the front seat of the lobby. His eyes swept back and forth on the elder sub-rudder who was sitting down, making everyone feel restless.
Not long after, a 60-year-old man stood up, saluted Li Qingyang and said: "We at Xuzhou Sword Making Hall have started out by forging weapons. The weapons we forge are what people in the world dream of. Not to mention whether this golden soft armor is real It can withstand the damage of lover's arrows, and we at Xuzhou Sword Making Hall don't even have the technology to make soft gold silk armor."
Li Qingyang listened to his words with a smile on his face, looked at him and said: "Elder Guo Xu's words are not unreasonable. Nowadays, the craftsmanship of this soft gold armor is no longer a problem."
After Li Qingyang finished speaking, everyone in the audience immediately whispered to each other and kept whispering. Some people looked disbelieving, while others looked surprised.
Li Qingyang was very satisfied with the current situation. He liked this state, which kept everyone guessing.
"Come out, Mr. Duan."
As soon as Li Qingyang finished speaking, there was a burst of footsteps in the inner hall behind the lobby.
Everyone stopped talking and stared at the passage in front of them.
One step, two steps, three steps...
When the figure appeared, surprise appeared on everyone's faces.
"Duan Qingzhi, how could it be him?" Elder Guo Xu had an incredulous expression on his face.
Duan Qingzhi is about forty years old, and his coarse linen clothes are not suitable for the first armor maker of Liangzhou Jinjia Division.
He has a resolute face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His body is not exactly tall, but he is still a bit stronger than the literary scholar.
According to legends in the world, Duan Qingzhi was once the first armor maker of the imperial court's Jinjia Division. How could he be recruited by his own helmsman now?
This incredible question appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
Only Li Qingyang, who was sitting on the stage, looked satisfied and proud.
Duan Qingzhi stepped forward and after glancing around, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.
The arrogance that the first armor maker of the imperial court's Jinjia Division should have was well hidden at this moment, so that no one noticed the pride and contempt coming from Duan Qingzhi.
He looked at himself in front of everyone and said with a smile: "From now on, I would like to ask all the elders and helmsmen for their advice."
Elder Guo Xu smiled slightly and cupped his hands and said, "Master Duan is too polite. Xuzhou Sword Forging Hall will have to rely on Master Duan's skills in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
After some pleasantries, Duan Qingzhi sat down on the first seat under the stage next to Li Qingyang, which caused everyone's eyes to fall from Duan Qingzhi to Li Qingyang.
Li Qingyang smiled slightly, cleared his throat and said: "Xuzhou Sword Making Hall will establish the Armor Making Hall from today, and the first helmsman of the Armor Making Hall is Mr. Duan."
There was an uproar.
Everyone was full of doubts and confusion about Li Qingyang's decision.
When leaving, when everyone knew that Li Qingyang decided to make a piece of gold silk armor, everyone thought that this matter was a fantasy for Xuzhou Sword Making Hall.
When they saw Duan Qingzhi, they still thought it was impossible.
Now, Li Qingyang actually established a armor-making hall, which surprised them a lot.
"Chief Helmsman, this matter is related to the reputation of our Xuzhou Sword Making Hall, Master, please think twice." Elder Zhu Boqing stood up and raised his hands to Li Qingyang and said.
"This matter has been decided and there is no need to discuss it further." Li Qingyang waved his hand, signaling to the elders and helmsmen not to say more.
Kyoto.
The most prosperous and wealthy place in the entire dynasty, it has the largest population in the country, the largest economic development in the country, and the largest resource allocation in the country.
Xuanwu Division.
It is located on Wei Xuan Street near the Kyoto Castle Palace. Xuanwusi is a sword in the hands of the emperor, a sword that is kept secret. Therefore, the residence of Xuanwusi is not as grand and tall as the residences of the six imperial departments. Instead, it is very low-key. If you don't know the inside story, you won't know about it at all. It is the largest gathering place for experiences in Kyoto.
"Captain Lin, Master Duan has successfully lurked in the Xuzhou Sword Building Hall. It won't be long before we can take over the sword building hall." A man in gray and black Xuanwu Division uniform said to the person in front of him. .
Captain Lin, whose name is Lin Changhe, is the first Prince Consort of the Emperor today, Princess Shang Junyang, and one of the Emperor's confidants.
The fundamental reason why he was able to become the head of Xuanwu Division was not because he was the emperor's consort, but because of the kindness between him and the emperor.
Five years ago, when the emperor was on a private visit incognito, he was walking alone in the world and was rescued by Lin Changhe. Along the way, the two of them walked together and witnessed the sufferings of the world, which allowed the emperor to see Lin Changhe's chivalrous heart and the darkness of the world. side.
After returning to Kyoto, the emperor revealed his identity to Lin Changhe and had the idea of establishing the Xuanwu Division.
Lin Changhe was the first person he identified as the leader of the Xuanwu Division.
There are rumors in the world that Lin Changhe, the best swordsman in the world, was injured in a battle with Su Zhan, the best spearman in the world. However, Lin Changhe died due to excessive injuries. From then on, there was no best sword in the world.
Su Zhan therefore put away his gun and hid it without a trace.
However, no one in the world knows that Lin Changhe, who was once the best swordsman in the world, is now the number one swordsman in the Xuanwu Division of the imperial court.
"Okay, send people to monitor closely. I want to see what Li Qingyang wants to do!" Lin Changhe's cold words came, as if the air in the room had become a bit colder.
After the rain, the ice and snow melt. The earth rejuvenates and everything revives.
Chonghuaji also welcomed a new wave of people from all walks of life to come to hunt for treasures.
The originally quiet wine shop quickly became lively again.
However, what is different from previous years is that so far, the wine shop owner has not seen the person he wanted to see, Qiao Huaigui.
After Hua Suhong passed away, it took Qiao Huaigui three months to get over his grief. He only stayed in Shenjiazhuang for one day before disappearing.
No one saw him, and no one knew where he went.
The main hall of Yuchang Pavilion.
Xiangzuo Shi and Fang Wanping stood on both sides of the pavilion master and looked at Mei Huayin in front of them.
Mei Huayin's figure is still graceful and graceful, and her appearance is still unstoppable.
She was there in plain clothes and gauze, bowing her head.
"Although you failed to complete the task of assassinating Qiao Huaigui, the death of Hua Suhong can be considered as your merits and demerits. Now there is a new task for you." The master of Yuchang Pavilion looked at Mei Huayin and said.
Mei Huayin lowered her body and said, "Let the Pavilion Master do whatever you want."
"Find Qiao Huaigui and follow him. You don't have to assassinate him. You just need to convey his whereabouts back in time." The pavilion master's voice was not loud, but it made Mei Huayin's heart tremble slightly.
"No matter what method you use, you must find him, understand?" The figure of the pavilion master appeared beside Mei Huayin at some point.
Mei Huayin remained motionless, bowed her body and said, "Yes."
