In fact, there are some things that Xiao Shu is not suitable to come forward to discuss with Zhang Yan. But because the turmoil caused by Zhang Yan was too big and too fast, and Xiao Shu was the closest and high-status person, being assigned these matters was also a balancing act.
Xiao Shu had thought that Zhang Yan's attitude towards Jiangwu Academy would not be too rigid, but he never thought that Zhang Yan would not mention a word about the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom. Is he pretending not to know the connection between his identity as Xiao Shu and the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom? It's possible. After all, Zhang Yan seemed to Xiao Shu to be a ferocious ferocious beast that was very good at hiding. He often seemed harmless, but he had various plans in his heart.
If you speak first, you will fall behind in the conversation. Just like when asking for help from someone, the person asking for it always speaks first. As for orders, Nanyuan Kingdom really doesn't dare to deal with Zhang Yan like this now. It's not respectful enough and it's not suitable for a strong man like Zhang Yan.
But Zhou Cang's "magic weapon" messed up Xiao Shu's plan again.
Divine weapons are too rare. However, as Xiao Shu was the judge of Langyuan City's Martial Arts Academy, he was in the early stage of Duanshan Realm cultivation, and he was also a trusted martial artist personally sent by the emperor, so he had naturally seen a lot of the world. I have also seen and used weapons of the divine weapon level. It was the weapon of the old judge of the Martial Arts Academy in Yuanding Imperial City. Xiao Shu was studying with him at that time, so he was lucky enough to meet him. Even the Xiao family, where Xiao Shu belongs, has a magic weapon in its foundation. It's just that no one is qualified to take it now, so it has been hidden in the treasure house.
Xiao Shu can still remember the magic of that magic weapon. The most important thing is about the degree of loss of vitality when it is transmitted on the weapon. This is directly related to the power of combat skills after they are displayed. The higher the realm, the higher the demand for weapons. If warriors of the same realm or even the same strength have different weapons, there will be a significant gap in their combat power.
External forces are sometimes also crucial.
Otherwise, how could the world's masters of weapons be so sought after, and some of them are even treated as national warriors.
It was previously thought that Zhang Yan's many abilities were just a weapon-forging master. Although large weapons were rare, they were not unobtainable for many high-level warriors. Even this ability is nothing compared to Zhang Yan's magic in refining the "Strengthening Bone Pill".
But Xiao Shu was once again horrified by his ability to forge weapons that he thought was obvious at a glance.
Divine weapon! The long sword that Zhang Yan gave to Zhou Cang as a gift turned out to be a magic weapon! ? And in Xiao Shu's opinion, this long sword is much better than the one owned by his teacher. Not only was the loss of vitality only about 10%, but there were also some special gains that Xiao Shu couldn't explain clearly but could clearly feel. For example, the extremely subtle sound of breaking through the air, and the inexplicable feeling of smoothness and speed when waving.
Xiao Shu could even feel a special power from this long sword. Let him be surprised again and again.
This is undoubtedly a magic weapon, and it is an existence that can be called "the best" even in the category of magic weapons. Therefore, looking back at Zhang Yan, his title is not a master weapon maker who can forge "big weapons", but a master craftsman!
Reluctantly, Xiao Shu returned the long knife to Zhou Cang, who looked ecstatic. Xiao Shu didn't want to return it in his heart. Even if this thing wasn't a gift from Zhang Yan, he would have tried to get it cleverly on the spot.
"Master Zhou is so lucky. If you receive this magical weapon on your birthday, your combat power will increase by several percent. However, you should also know that treasures arouse people's greed, and you need to think more about it." I still couldn't help but have something in my words, and at the same time, I finished speaking. I glanced at Zhang Yan and saw that Zhang Yan didn't express anything, so I felt relieved.
When Zhou Cang heard this, his heart suddenly trembled. How could he not know what the other party meant? Things are indeed good things, but if they are not blessings, it is hard to say. After all, as Xiao Shu reminded me, treasures touch people's hearts! Can Zhou Cang hold on?
The city guard was indeed considered a big shot. But looking at Nanyuan Kingdom, it is not considered a "big" country. In addition, Zhou Cang's strength is still in the middle stage of the Aperture Realm. With a magic weapon, he looks almost the same as a child holding a gold nugget in his hand.
Zhang Yan saw Zhou Cang's entanglement, smiled, and said: "Master Zhou, why do you suddenly get into trouble? It is naturally up to you to give things to you. If someone takes advantage of you, I am on your side, and I will not let you do it because of trivial matters." You can get by with just one weapon. Don’t worry.”
In the past, Zhang Yan's words would have seemed too arrogant. But now what he said really had some weight to it. At least it can deter those forces who want to have a good relationship with him, as well as warriors whose realm is below Duanshan realm. Even if you are not afraid, you still have to think carefully about it.
In addition, Zhang Yan also made it very clear that "it all depends on Zhou Cang's disposal", which means that as long as he is not under coercion, Zhou Cang can completely take out this magic weapon in exchange for other benefits.
After hearing this, Xiao Shu's heart immediately became alive. Zhou Cang took an official career in the military. Although his family was aristocratic, it was not prominent. Now Zhou Cang had to rely on Shi Xuan's recommendation to climb up. But the Xiao family where Xiao Shu lives is different. As long as he is willing to help, Zhou Cang is no worse than following Shi Xuan. Even a limited exchange is enough to satisfy Zhou Cang.
However, Zhou Cang's next words made Xiao Shu have a different view on this mere city guard who was not very fond of him.
Zhou Cang seemed to have woken up from his previous confusion and confusion, and seemed to have figured it out. He said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, are you looking down on me, Zhou Cang? How can Zhou Cang, the magic weapon, be so frightened that he let go and hand it over to others?"
Besides, this thing belongs to Mr. Zhang to me. How can the friendship within it be despised? Even if Zhou Cang fights to the death, he will not be taken away easily. "
The etiquette is light but the affection is heavy, not to mention the precious treasure. Zhou Cang categorically stated that he would not hand over this long sword to others under any circumstances. The word "fight to the death" is also used, which shows his determination.
Zhou Cang's inner calculation is very clear. He changed hands and exchanged the gift from Zhang Yan for other benefits, which was not good-looking either emotionally or rationally. And isn't it better to be friends with Zhang Yan for a long time than anything else? Why should you ignore this human connection that no one else can ask for just for the sake of some immediate benefits?
Said a few more words. Zhou Cang put away his long knife, apologized and went out to greet the guests. This wing was left to Xiao Shu and Zhang Yan, who obviously still had something to say.
As soon as Zhou Cang left and the door closed, Xiao Shu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then smiled and said: "Zhou Cang is a sensible and humane person. He is indeed worthy of Zhang Jiaoxi's friendship.
In fact, like Zhou Cang, Nanyuan Kingdom also admired Professor Zhang's teachings. I have not yet thanked Jiao Xi for that favor from Princess Qing Ling, and I hope Jiao Xi can continue to take care of Princess Qing Ling. The royal family will definitely repay Zhang Jiao Xi with their friendship..."
