In the Youzhou Marquis Mansion, there were clearly several people in the hall, but they were so quiet that you could hear a stick falling on the ground.
"People who use swords are average."
This sentence seems to still echo in the air.
The expressions on the faces of the masters who were ordered to protect Zhou Shu were a little strange. They cupped their hands one after another and then quickly disappeared.
Zhou Shu even heard their suppressed laughter.
Damn it, were you despised by a little girl?
What does it mean to have a good sword, good swordsmanship, but an average swordsman?
Does this mean that I am not good enough to be worthy of the Giant Sword and the Eighteen Shocking Swords?
Just now, I lost a move, but that was because I didn’t show my true ability!
If I really want to do something like this, it’s just a matter of one move!
Zhou Shu felt a little depressed.
He didn't care at all whether he lost or won the competition, but being despised by a little girl made him a little unhappy.
When he just started fighting with Lu Wenshuang, he didn't even use the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, he just used the power of the seventh level of Lingyuan Martial Arts.
With this kind of power, even using the Giant Que Sword is a bit difficult, and the use of the Eighteen Shocking Swords will naturally be greatly affected.
Although Lu Wenshuang also suppressed her cultivation to the eighth level of martial arts, her swordsmanship cultivation was almost flawless. It was not surprising that Zhou Shu lost a move!
But unfortunately, he still can’t explain it!
Unless he is willing to expose his strength and beat up Lu Wenshuang!
But that would be more trouble.
"Forget it, a real man, I won't care about a little girl like you."
Zhou Shu was a little depressed.
"I've met the Marquis."
Putting that unhappiness out of his mind, Zhou Shu looked at Yin Chengshan.
When Yin Chengshan saw Zhou Shu's gaze, he quickly held his hands in front of him.
"General Yin, why are you here?"
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "By the way, are you among the Daxia delegation this time?"
He has been practicing military training in seclusion and has not seen Yin Chengshan for a while. He is also curious about how Yin Chengshan and the others performed in the martial arts exercises in Daxia.
"Yes."
Yin Chengshan nodded and said, "Originally, Yin had wanted to come over and tell you, Mr. Hou, but Mr. Hou, you have been in retreat..."
"It's better to come early than to come well."
Zhou Shu said, "You came just in time."
"I will take back this giant sword first."
He raised the giant sword in his hand and said.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yin Chengshan's eyes, but he also knew that the Juque Sword was lent to him by Zhou Shu. It was already a gift if he could use it for a period of time, and he should not expect more.
"General Yin, you are a swordsman. You have always used a sword, but you are not good at it. Just so I made a sword recently. You can try it to see if you can use it."
Zhou Shu continued with a smile.
Yin Chengshan was stunned for a moment, and then a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Master Hou——"
"Don't say anything pretentious to me, I can't stand it!"
Zhou Shu quickly interrupted him and asked the housekeeper to get the knife while saying.
"Last time I took your Black Iron Gold Crystal, I told you at that time that I would have the opportunity to help you forge a high-quality weapon. Now is the time. I think this knife is quite suitable for you."
Zhou Shu said.
Seeing Yin Chengshan's moved face, he seemed to want to say something else.
Zhou Shu continued, "You don't have to be moved. I'm not a good person. I'll give you the weapons, but you have to pay for them!"
"It should."
Yin Chengshan said quickly, "Even if Mr. Yin sells iron, he will definitely not let you, Mr. Hou, suffer a loss."
"It's not a big deal to sell iron. You pay as much as you have. The rest will be decided when you have it."
Zhou Shu waved his hand.
Yin Chengshan's eyes were red, and the majestic seven-foot-tall man was so moved that he was about to cry.
The Marquis is worried about my face. He never worries about selling high-quality weapons. Who would accept this kind of installment payment?
Lord Marquis is taking care of me!
"Look at the knife, look at the knife first!"
Zhou Shu couldn't stand the scenes that were too disgusting, and he wasn't a good person.
If you take his weapons, you have to work as a beating worker for him.
After all, he still made a profit.
Fortunately, the housekeeper had already brought the Molten Gold Sunset Knife. Zhou Shu took it and threw it to Yin Chengshan.
"This knife is called the Molten Gold Sunset Knife. It was made according to the old soldier-making formula. I heard that a general named Tong once used it, but it was later destroyed."
Zhou Shu said, "Try the sword and ask if you don't understand anything."
Yin Chengshan stretched out his hand to catch the red-gold sword that was almost as tall as a person. Although he hadn't tried it yet, just looking at the shape of the sword, it was very powerful.
He already fell in love with this knife at the first sight.
"Good knife!"
Yin Chengshan held the sword in both hands and held several sword flowers.
Then he tentatively outputted a stream of spiritual energy.
"There are two star roads in the Molten Gold Sunset Knife, which are..."
Zhou Shulang said.
The reason why a top-grade weapon is a top-grade weapon lies in the star path inside it.
Under normal circumstances, when a warrior obtains a high-quality weapon, he has to explore the changes in the star path by himself, just like where a warrior practices, he must first practice the sense of qi and sense the meridians in the body.
This process is the process of running in with the weapon.
The length of time depends on the individual's qualifications and level.
After all, imported weapons do not come with manuals, and warriors cannot see its internal structure. They can only use the spirit element to explore. Although the difficulty is easier than that of a weapon maker to locate a point star, it also gives many warriors a headache. p>
Now that Zhou Shu has explained it in person, Yin Chengshan no longer needs to explore the star path inside the Molten Gold Sunset Knife.
His spiritual energy flows, circulating back and forth in the star path inside the Molten Gold Sunset Knife.
After a moment, he already felt that he and the Molten Gold Sunset Knife were integrated into one body. The Molten Gold Sunset Knife seemed to have become an extension of his arm.
"Shuashua——"
Yin Chengshan danced the molten gold sunset knife, and the light of the knife filled the sky, swinging erratically.
"Good knife!"
Yin Chengshan praised loudly again. If this was not the Youzhou Marquis Mansion, he would have laughed to the sky.
"What's good?"
Zhou Shu curled his lips disdainfully and said, "You're not even in the top ten of the Huangpin Weapon Chart, so what's the point?"
Yin Chengshan smiled awkwardly. If he is not in the top ten of the Huangpin Weapon Chart, is he not considered good?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The top-grade weapon I used before must be ranked in the thousands on the Huang-grade weapon spectrum, right?
To you, Mr. Hou, isn’t that just rubbish?
This Molten Gold Sunset Knife is good enough for me!
He held the Molten Gold Sunset Knife in his arms like a treasure.
"Master Hou, how much does this molten gold sunset knife cost?"
He came to Zhou Shu before to ask for a sword, and prepared a black iron gold crystal and a thousand taels of gold.
This is almost all the wealth he can afford.
Originally, he just wanted an ordinary high-grade weapon.
But for this Molten Gold Sunset Knife, although Yin Chengshan didn't know its specific ranking on the Huangpin Weapon Spectrum, he guessed that it would definitely be in the top 100!
The top 100 weapons on the Huangpin Weapon Chart are all valuable.
A piece of dark iron gold crystal plus a thousand taels of gold is definitely not enough.
Yin Chengshan was also a little worried. He didn’t have enough money, what should he do?
I will definitely not give up this Molten Gold Sunset Knife, so I can only shamelessly accept the Lord Marquis’s kindness in installment payment.
"Look at it."
Zhou Shu said nonchalantly.
He has never been very good at pricing imported weapons.
Anyway, as long as he is not allowed to lose money, he has no hope of making money by forging soldiers.
For him, improving his strength is the biggest profit.
Money is just a convenience.
"Should I give it to you?"
Yin Chengshan was stunned and almost knelt down in front of Zhou Shu
Lord Marquis treats me with such kindness!
"Master Hou, I'm going to Da Qin now. The life of me, Yin Chengshan, belongs to you. As long as I, Yin Chengshan, don't die, no one can even think of hurting Master Hou!"
Yin Chengshan gave Zhou Shu a military salute, hit his left shoulder with his right fist, and said in a deep voice.
"This is a thousand taels of gold. I will pay the rest to the Marquis as soon as possible!"
After Yin Chengshan finished speaking, he hugged his molten gold sunset knife and left without looking back.
During the whole process, Zhou Shu was stunned and found no chance to interrupt.
"What does he mean by this? Why is it so easy to live or die?"
Zhou Shu looked at the housekeeper and wondered.
The housekeeper looked at the sky speechlessly.
I take back what I said, it turns out that geniuses are abnormal.
My Lord Marquis is also abnormal...
He didn't know how many warriors would be willing to sacrifice their lives for a superior weapon!
Outside the Hou Mansion, Lu Wenshuang walked on the avenue.
Suddenly, her footsteps stopped abruptly.
A strand of hair fell from her left ear.
Lu Wenshuang reached out and pinched the hair between her slender fingers. The cut surface of the hair was smooth, as if it had been cut off by a sharp blade.
Her pupils suddenly contracted, and there seemed to be countless figures jumping around in them.
If someone could see the scene in her pupils, they would definitely be able to tell that those figures were clearly from her previous fight with Zhou Shu.
Every move was repeated in her consciousness, exactly.
"So that's it, the Eighteen Shocking Swords are really shocking."
Lu Wenshuang murmured to himself, "I was wrong. People who use swords are also good."
"If he had used a more convenient sword, within five steps, unless I broke out beyond the seventh level of martial arts, he would have died with me!"
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Wenshuang not only did not feel depressed, but his eyes shone with anticipation.
"He is qualified to mobilize me."
"Zhou Shu, after you become a grandmaster, I look forward to a real battle with you!"
Lu Wenshuang looked back at the direction of Youzhou Houfu and murmured to himself.
"A sneeze——"
Zhou Shu of Youzhou Marquis Mansion sneezed.
He didn't know what Lu Wenshuang was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely tell Lu Wenshuang, "Sister, don't think too much. It's magnanimous if I don't care about you. If you are more sensible, I will teach you how to be a good person." "Butler, what important things are going on in the mansion these days?"
After Yin Chengshan left, Zhou Shu did not return to the foundry immediately. Instead, he looked at the housekeeper and asked.
"Many adults came to visit the Marquis. I have written down their names so that the Marquis can take a look."
The housekeeper said, "Then Eunuch Zhao from the palace came to deliver the appointment letter once, so I was not allowed to disturb Mr. Hou."
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "By the way, did Eunuch Zhao say when the Daxia mission will set off?"
"We'll set off the day after tomorrow," the steward said. "Originally, I thought that the Marquis wouldn't come out tomorrow, so I tried to call him."
"So fast?"
Zhou Shu was a little surprised and said.
"I'm sorry." said the housekeeper, "Master Hou, you have been in seclusion for a month."
"Has it been so long?"
Zhou Shu was so immersed in forging weapons that he really ignored the passage of time.
There was no sun or moon in the foundry, and he had no idea how much time had passed.
"It's a pity that the time is too short. I worked so hard and couldn't forge a few weapons."
Zhou Shu said with some regret, "It seems we can only think of a solution after we get to Da Qin."
If it were a standard weapon, he could cast hundreds of them in a month.
It's a pity that the casting of high-end weapons is more than a hundred times more complicated than standard weapons. Even Zhou Shu's casting speed is not much faster.
This is under the premise that he doesn’t have to worry about the supply of materials for making weapons.
One month is still too short after all. If you give him half a year to prepare, he may be more satisfied.
But this is obviously impossible. In half a year, the military exercises of the Ten Kingdoms will be held. If I go to Daqin as an envoy by then, the day lily will be cold.
"Steward, do you need to prepare anything for the envoy? How is the climate over there in Da Qin?"
Zhou Shu asked casually while thinking about weapons.
"A bunch of miscellaneous items have been prepared. Someone from the Princess Mansion helped prepare them."
The steward said.
"Princess Mansion? Has Da Sikong been here recently?" Zhou Shu raised his head and asked.
"I haven't seen Your Highness the Princess for several days."
The butler bowed.
"After I set off, please help me thank her."
Zhou Shu pondered and said, "Although the Princess's Mansion is not lacking anything, you can also send some melons, fruits and snacks there when the time comes, which can be considered as a token of appreciation from our Marquis Mansion."
To reciprocate the favor, the Princess Mansion helped me prepare my luggage, so I had to express my disapproval.
"I'm awake."
The butler nodded and agreed.
"Is there anything else?"
Zhou Shu continued to ask.
"Master Shi Songtao came here again." The steward said, "He said that he hoped that the Marquis could go to the mission before departure and get acquainted with the people in the mission."
"Where did the people from the mission gather?"
Zhou Shu asked, he was about to set off. He really should meet the people of the mission. After all, he was also the leader.
The housekeeper told me an address, which was left by Shi Songtao.
Zhou Shu nodded. Anyway, he didn’t leave until the day after tomorrow. It wouldn’t be too late to meet with the people from the mission tomorrow.
"The General's Mansion has also sent someone here. Please go over there before setting off."
The butler continued, "The general said there are some things that need to be explained to the Marquis."
"Have someone prepare the carriage. I'll go to the General's Mansion later to have a look."
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
General Meng is the Dinghai Shenzhen of this mission, he must go and meet him first.
"And——"
The housekeeper agreed, and while instructing the boy to prepare the carriage, he continued.
"My uncle left some banknotes two days ago for you to use on your way..."
The housekeeper took out a small wooden box and handed it to Zhou Shu. Inside the wooden box was a thick stack of banknotes, all with denominations of one thousand taels. Judging from the thickness, there were at least twenty of them!
