Chapter 65: The word tyrant, the tyrant of the tyrant
At the beginning, Cai Yong didn't care much about it. After all, for him, things like reading were just commonplace and the most basic thing.
But when he opened the paper and saw the words written on it, the indifference in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his whole person became serious.
When Liu Cheng saw such a scene, his heart immediately tightened.
Now, what he fears most is that readers who see this word will become solemn.
When Lu Yang saw this word, he became serious and then did not recognize it.
Li Ru, a famous counselor in history, became serious after seeing this word, and then got two extremely obvious dark circles under his eyes.
Now Cai Yong, a world-famous scholar and a person who served as a wine sacrificer for the Imperial Academy, became serious when he saw this word...
With so many lessons learned, Liu Cheng couldn't help but feel nervous about it.
"Where did you see this word?"
After Cai Yong stared at the words on the paper for a while, he looked up and asked Liu Cheng.
"When I was a child, I was playing by the river and digging eels to satisfy my hunger. I dug out a broken blade from the sand. It was made of bronze and had a patina on it. On the hilt of the broken blade, there was this word engraved on it.
.
I wrote it down, and then I asked many literate people, but they had never seen this word..."
Liu Cheng's lies come as soon as he opens his mouth.
"What about this broken blade?! You...Ked, did you ever bring it with you? Please take a look with me!"
Hearing what Liu Cheng said, Cai Yong nodded and became anxious again. He quickly asked Liu Cheng.
This broken sword is in my dream!
Liu Cheng would naturally not tell such a truth.
Even if you say it, no one will believe it.
So in order to be able to deal with the matter, Liu Cheng could only continue to lie.
"My mother later got sick, and my father used it to exchange for money, and my mother and I took medicine to treat the disease..."
At this point, this lie has come to a happy ending, just like "the goldfish was eaten by the swan, and then the swan flew away" without any proof.
"Ked, you have lost a good thing!"
Cai Yong said with some regret.
Then he added: "But treating my mother is the most important thing. Compared with it, a broken blade is far behind. No matter how much you pay, it is still worth it!"
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu were the most popular people. Before he started to punish officials, he had such a great reputation. In addition to his own family background and some excellent ways of dealing with people, there is another reason.
It was him who kept filial piety and looked after his mother who passed away.
It was also for this reason that Cai Yong expressed such emotion after hearing Liu Cheng say that Broken Blade had been replaced in order to treat his mother's illness.
At the same time, because of this incident, Cai Yong's attitude towards Liu Cheng also changed a lot.
"This word is very, very rare, and many people have never heard of it. If I hadn't been lucky enough to participate in the work of the Xiping Stone Scripture, and look through the ancient relics stored in the palace with many great scholars,
I don’t know him either.”
After Cai Yong asked Liu Cheng where he saw this word, he stopped talking and started talking about business.
"This character is pronounced as 'Ba'. It was created by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, after he divided the princes into feudal states. In order to show his status, he specially asked his subordinates to create it for him.
Many places such as Xiang Yu's sword and official seal are engraved with this word.
However, following the battle at Gaixia, Xiang Yu was defeated and committed suicide in Wujiang River. Things about the Overlord of Chu gradually disappeared.
Now that hundreds of years have passed, there is even less about Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
The broken blade that Kede got when he was young should be Xiang Yu's broken blade if nothing goes wrong.
It's just that there's something puzzling about this matter.
Xiang Yu finally committed suicide in the Wujiang River, and his broken blade should have appeared near the Wujiang River.
But Kede lived in Chenggao when he was a child..."
Cai Yong solved the mystery and looked a little confused at the end.
Liu Cheng's heart was also greatly shaken by Cai Yong's words.
What I thought before was indeed correct!
As early as before, Liu Cheng combined the fact that he fell into the Wujiang River and had good martial arts skills after crossing over. Regarding what happened to him and the broken blade that often appeared in his dreams,
, there is a certain amount of speculation.
The result of his guess was that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was a man who could lift the cauldron and was famous for his courage and arrogance!
Now that he understood from Cai Yong what the words on the hilt of the sword that appeared in this dream were, and what the meaning of this word represented, Liu Cheng immediately verified his previous conjecture.
"No one can say for sure about this thing. It is possible that someone got it later and left it at Cheng Gao's place.
It is also possible that Xiang Yu had more than one sword at the time, and the one Kede got when he was a child may have been worn out by Xiang Yu in the previous battle and thrown away by Cheng Gao..."
After knowing what the word was, Li Ru opened his mouth and answered Cai Yong's doubts for Liu Cheng.
Cai Yong nodded, agreeing with Li Ru's words.
"Actually, I'm more curious about Kede's abilities than the origin of that broken blade.
Kede has great skills, and when he really uses them, he is so heroic that even Lu Bu cannot defeat him.
Moreover, Kede is extremely powerful...
According to legend, the King of Chu was able to lift a cauldron..."
Li Ru looked around Liu Cheng and said this.
When he said this, Cai Yong's eyes couldn't help but light up: "This is indeed very similar!!
What's even more coincidental is that when Kede was young, he also picked up the Overlord's Broken Blade!
... Could it be that there is some kind of providence in this secret?!
