"Just picked it up?"

Chen Chao looked at the guardian envoy with some suspicion, he didn't quite believe such a thing could happen.

That was something he had been looking for for a long time and always wanted to get, but still couldn't find it. How could it be just randomly obtained by the guardian.

It seems to be in line with that saying, the so-called things that you dream about day and night may be easily accessible to others.

The guard looked at him and said calmly: "I didn't lie to you, I picked it up casually. I think this thing seems to have something to do with the broken knife in your hand, so I brought it to you to see. Of course, you have to say luck, I

Come here, the best thing you can do is not pick this up."

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you pick up the money?"

This was meant to be a joke, so the guard naturally ignored him and just said to himself: "It was an accident that solved a problem. If it had not been solved, in fact, after I find you, I will send you to sea.

Go do something else."

Chen Chao asked doubtfully: "Going to sea?"

The guard thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter what I tell you now. You can probably understand it as another Wanliu Club, but it is also different. At least your previous realm is not qualified to participate. Stepping into the Sea of ​​Bitterness Realm

After that, you will be qualified. On the isolated island overseas, many sects outside the country will send their disciples to participate, targeting some demon clans. The allocation of certain resources will be determined through competitions. Of course, you also know that the imperial court has always been in these aspects.

We are all at a disadvantage. If Wanliu Club had not had you and that girl, we would not have won the championship."

Chen Chao was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "Isn't the imperial court hiding any clumsiness in these aspects?"

In fact, Chen Chao had noticed this question when he saw the court's attitude towards Fangwai these few times, but he never had a suitable opportunity to ask it. Now that he had this opportunity, he wanted the other party to solve his doubts.

The guard envoy looked at Chen Chao and smiled without saying a word.

Chen Chao frowned slightly.

The guard then smiled and said: "There are some things. It's hard to say what they are. You can see it, and they can see it too. But I can tell you that in today's world, it must be rare for the people of the world.

The good world in the past hundreds or even thousands of years was not as good as it is now. Of course, all these changes are closely related to our Emperor."

Many monks outside the country felt that the current position of Emperor Liang was unfair, and there would definitely be objections from both the government and the public, and there would be no less. However, it seemed that in the eyes of the guardian, the Emperor of Liang was a rare hero and a wise king.

, I don’t care about what happened in the past.

And there are many people like the guardian envoys in the Liang Dynasty.

The fact that the Emperor of Liang was able to sit on the throne for more than ten years without any so-called rebellion in the country can actually explain a lot of problems. Of course, it cannot be excluded that the opposition forces are accumulating. One day when they feel that their power has been

When there is enough, it may be a prairie fire.

On that day, what Emperor Liang faced was no longer the so-called tinkering, but a major riot from all over the dynasty.

Chen Chao thought for a while, then changed the subject and said: "Is there any master who is proficient in blacksmithing in the imperial court?"

The Liang Dynasty has been fighting against the monsters in the north, and weapons are naturally a top priority. There should be many officials proficient in forging at the Ministry of Industry. Chen Chao asked this question because he wanted to know if there were any highly skilled forging craftsmen who could

Repair the broken knife in your hand.

The guardian noticed Chen Chao's purpose and did not dwell on it. He just said: "It doesn't matter that the officials from the Ministry of Industry repair ordinary swords. They just want to repair the broken sword in your hand. They even want it to be repaired after it is repaired."

It can still be as good as before, you'd better not have any hope, even the most senior official in the Ministry of Industry and the best at repairing such weapons doesn't have this ability."

Chen Chao raised his eyebrows. He originally planned to return to the divine capital immediately, but now that the guardian said this, he became a little hesitant.

The guardian envoy said: "Have you ever heard of Jianqi Mountain?"

Chen Chao was startled and nodded subconsciously.

I first heard about Jianqi Mountain from those ancient legends. Later, after meeting Yu Xiyi, especially after seeing the extremely sharp weed, I had a relatively good understanding of Jianqi Mountain.

.

The reason why he is interested now is actually because Xie Nandu left the capital of God with him this time, and the place he went to was Jianqi Mountain. The news that came later made it very clear that this talented girl ended up in Jianqi Mountain.

Shan took away a total of nine flying swords, all of which were the best flying swords second only to the Centennial Sword.

"Don't they only make flying swords?"

Chen Chao knew that there was no one in the world who was better at flying swords than Jian Qi Shan, but that was just a flying sword, and what he had in his hand was not a sword.

It's a knife.

The guardian seemed to know Chen Chao's concerns and said, "What's the difference between swords?"

It seemed that Chen Chao had never thought about such a thing before the guard envoy asked this question.

"I have heard about sword-wielding, and I also know that the killing power of a swordsman is unparalleled in the world, but the sword-wielding thing, isn't it... a little strange?" Chen Chao looked at the guardian envoy in front of him with a strange expression and some hesitation.

The guard smiled and said: "As you practice further, even if you are a martial artist, you can naturally wield a sword if you are willing."

As he spoke, Chen Chao suddenly felt that the broken knife on his waist began to tremble, as if it was about to break out of the sheath. He subconsciously held down the handle of the knife, but a huge force kept pushing the broken knife out of the sheath, and finally

Chen Chao resisted for a long time, but still couldn't stop it. The broken sword came out of its sheath, showing some sharpness.

The guard envoy praised: "What a good sword."

As he spoke, the broken knife in the scabbard seemed to lose its life and fell off the sheath again.

"One thing that foreign monks often say is that warriors are vulgar and do not understand the true meaning of Taoism. But in fact, when they are in front of a successful martial artist, they have to be very alert. As for the so-called Taoism,

It’s just the movement of qi, and it’s the same for me, martial artists, to return to our original nature.”

The guardian spoke slowly, which was regarded as instruction.

Chen Chao joked: "Sir, this statement is really... rare."

Chen Chao swallowed back the shameless words knowingly.

The guardian glared at him, but was not angry at all. He just brought the topic back, "Over at Jianqi Mountain, since we are very familiar with flying swords, I thought it would not be difficult to reforge and repair your broken sword. However,

I don't know what price you have to pay."

Chen Chao frowned and said, "I heard that the sword cultivators who went to get the sword did not face any difficulties."

"The monks in Jianqi Mountain are interested in forging flying swords. They have forged many flying swords, but they can't use them. What's the use of putting them in the mountain? Naturally, they want to give some away. As for why they don't make things difficult,

Probably because the sword cultivators they selected are all very talented. Such sword cultivators usually have great achievements. With the flying swords they forged, Jian Qi Mountain will naturally become more famous. Another one, have you heard that story? When outsiders bully the sword.

During the time at Qi Mountain, these sword cultivators who had come to pick up swords became a great help to them. Oh, it is said that there are still several sword immortals in the world whose swords were taken from Jian Qi Mountain."

A sword cultivator who forgets his worries can be called a swordsman.

"The girl you like went up a mountain to get the sword a few days ago. Do you think that the mountain owner just looked at the dean's face and allowed her to take away so many flying swords? But he also took a fancy to her talent. This is all.

It is very likely that she will be a female sword fairy in the future. If you really get married to her in the future, I guess your life will not be too easy."

Outside the country, a definite relationship between monks was called a Taoist couple, but in the Liang Dynasty, people still liked to use the term "marriage" to describe this relationship.

The guard changed the topic and said, "But warriors like us don't have to be indifferent to sword energy."

Chen Chao was thoughtful.

The guardian didn't give him much time and continued: "But now, I'm afraid you have to return to your senses first."

Chen Chao asked: "Why?"

The guardian looked at him and said softly: "The war in the north is quite tense, but it is almost over."

Chen Chao looked at him with some curiosity.

Then he remembered Song Lian, his former commander at the left guard.

"Commander Song ordered him?"

The Daliang Dynasty has always had wars with the demon tribe in the north, but this time, it may be the most brutal one since the Daliang Emperor came to the throne. Even warriors like Song Lian were transferred to the north. This shows how cruel the war is. If you want to

Surviving in such a war is indeed not an easy task.

Chen Chao had true feelings for Song Lian.

The governor glanced at Chen Chao and said casually: "Don't worry, the governor's office has not received news of his death in battle."

Chen Chao relaxed slightly. For some reason, he was actually thinking of the woman who made a living by washing clothes.

The guard envoy looked to the north and said with emotion: "Your Majesty still went to the north."

Chen Chao suddenly raised his head.

This matter had been widely circulated before, saying that Emperor Liang was determined to personally conquer the country, so countless courtiers throughout the city were very worried about it.

There were even countless court meetings where courtiers remonstrated to death.

But if the Emperor of Liang could be swayed by other people's opinions, he would not have chosen to raise an army in the first place.

"However, this matter involves too much, and even His Majesty only went to the north alone without any fanfare."

Chen Chao wanted to speak but stopped.

In the entire history of the Liang Dynasty, I am afraid there has never been an emperor who behaved like this.

Seemingly sensing Chen Chao's worries, the guard said softly: "Don't worry, there is no problem for someone like your Majesty to go to the north alone."

When he said this, Chen Chao saw many other things in the eyes of the guardian. There were many emotions that Chen Chao had never seen before.

Very complicated.
