The Ji family is the number one blacksmithing family in Qingyun. They are the authority in the blacksmithing world and are well-known in neighboring countries.
Over the years, the Xuan-level swords forged by the Ji family have been praised and sought after by masters from all walks of life, and have never had any problems.
Returns are very rare.
This is the first time that goods worth two million silver have been returned at one time!
Ji Tianxing asked Ji Hao with a gloomy face: "Second brother, what's going on? Who dares to return our Ji family's goods?"
"It's the Gu family." Ji Hao showed a face full of anger and said indignantly: "The Gu family ordered fifty Xuan-level swords at the Xuanjian Workshop last month, and the negotiated price was 2.23 million."
"Yesterday was supposed to be the day of delivery. The Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs notified the Gu family to pick up the goods. Unexpectedly, the Gu family wanted to return the goods and wanted back the deposit of 100,000 taels!"
Ji Tianxing immediately understood that the reason why the Gu family wanted to return the goods must be because of Gu Hao's death.
He couldn't help but sneered: "If the Gu family wants to return the goods, just let them return it. Don't even think about getting the deposit back!"
"The Xuanbing sword forged by our Ji family is famous in the Qingyun Kingdom, and there is never a shortage of buyers. If the Gu family doesn't buy it, there are many people who want to buy it!"
Ji Hao frowned and said worriedly: "But brother, this kind of thing has never happened before!"
"If we really ask the Gu family to return the goods, then after the news gets out, I'm not sure what others will say and speculate about. Some people will definitely slander our Ji family's sword..."
"Brother, I think you should go take a look. This matter is related to the reputation of our Ji family."
Ji Tianxing thought about it in silence, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go there myself."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and asked his servants to prepare their horses.
Ji Hao quickly followed, "Brother, I'll go with you!"
A moment later, Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao left Ji's Mansion and rushed to the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs on horseback.
Xuanjian Workshop is located on a large mountain in the southern suburbs, more than sixty miles away from the imperial city.
Rather than saying that it was a workshop, it was better to say that it was a very large Ji family manor, occupying half of the mountain.
The Ji family hollowed out the inside of the mountain and built several huge warehouses to store materials and ores used for forging weapons.
There is also a huge iron-making furnace in the heart of the mountain. When the fire burns, it can turn the sky red and the clouds turn crimson.
There are more than two thousand workers and blacksmith apprentices in the workshop, as well as a dozen blacksmith masters, working day and night for the Ji family.
In addition, there are also 300 guards guarding the Xuanjian Workshop, including many masters and several strong men.
Anyone who sees the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs with their own eyes will be amazed by its grand scale and momentum.
It took Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao more than an hour to arrive at the Xuanjian Workshop in the southern suburbs.
After entering the workshop, Ji Tianxing went directly to the workshop owner Gu Jian and asked for details.
Gu Jian is Ji Changkong's confidant and is very familiar with Ji Tianxing. He treats him with trust and enthusiasm like a nephew.
He had long known about Ji Tianxing's transformation into a waste, and after seeing Ji Tianxing, he even asked a few questions with concern.
After some pleasantries, Gu Jian said solemnly: "Young Master, I personally supervised the construction of these swords. There is absolutely no problem."
"The Gu family is also messy and unreasonable in returning goods. The elders and guards of the Gu family are still sitting in the reception hall. Look..."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a cold tone: "In that case, if they want to return it, let them return it and the deposit will be withheld."
"From now on, our Ji family will never sell another weapon to the Gu family! As for the fifty swords, we will find another buyer."
"Hmph, are we worried about not being able to sell the sword forged by our Ji family?"
Gu Jian originally had the same idea, but the matter was so important that he could only act accordingly if the head of the family, Ji Changkong or the eldest young master, spoke personally.
Seeing that Ji Tianxing agreed, Gu Jian handed over his orders and went to negotiate with the Gu family.
After handling this matter, Ji Tianxing took Ji Hao and left the workshop.
It was almost noon when the two of them went down the mountain. There was no one on the official road at the foot of the mountain, except for the two of them, galloping on their horses.
Half an hour later, the two were riding horses through a lush green mountain forest.
Ji Tianxing suddenly discovered that there were several trip ropes across the official road ten feet away in front of him, blocking his way.
"Hush!"
Ji Tianxing quickly tightened the reins, trying to stop the galloping white horse.
The white horse made a neighing sound, and ran another seven or eight feet before stopping in front of the tripping rope.
The horse Ji Hao was riding also stopped beside him and raised its front hooves high, almost throwing Ji Hao off the horse as he was caught off guard.
"Second brother, be careful! There may be an ambush here!"
Ji Tianxing reminded Ji Hao in a low voice, and tightened his grip on the Xuan-level high-grade sword around his waist - the Blood Dragon Sword.
Ji Hao understood immediately and pulled out the black gold sword with a clang, staring at the surroundings with a vigilant expression.
At this moment, a "crash" sound suddenly came from the dense woods on both sides of the official road.
In the next moment, six warriors wearing black tights and masks rushed out as fast as the wind, and rushed towards the two men with swords.
"kill!"
The six warriors all rushed towards them with murderous intent, their movements were very vigorous and extremely fast, and they rushed in front of Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao in the blink of an eye.
Although Ji Tianxing's strength has dropped to the body refining stage, his martial arts experience is still there, and his vision is still sharp and vicious.
Just by looking at the movements and speeds of the six warriors, he judged that these six people were quite strong, and they were probably all at the eighth level of body refining.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The six warriors brandished their swords at the same time and struck at Ji Tianxing and Ji Hao.
Among them, four warriors besieged Ji Tianxing, while only two attacked Ji Hao.
Seeing the light and shadow of the sword striking in front of him, Ji Tianxing subconsciously pulled out the Blood Dragon Sword and swept it out with one strike.
Amidst the clanging sound of gold and iron, the four swords were shaken away by the Blood Dragon Sword.
Ji Tianxing escaped, but was shaken by the force of the four people's combined attack and fell to the ground.
His jaw was cracked and bleeding, and his right arm was paralyzed, making him unable to exert any strength.
"kill!"
The four warriors roared again and stabbed him with their swords.
In desperation, Ji Tianxing rolled several times on the ground before rolling to the side of the road.
Although his face was ashen as ashes, he managed to avoid being killed by four swords and managed to save his life.
Seeing that the four warriors were attacking like fierce tigers, he jumped into the woods.
At this critical moment, a long sword suddenly emerged from the diagonal stab and stabbed his chest sinisterly and viciously.
Ji Tianxing caught a glimpse of the sword out of the corner of his eye, and realized that the person who drew the sword was one of the two warriors who besieged Ji Hao.
He instantly understood that the target of these six masked killers was him!
