Chapter 212 Black Iron Sword

In front of everyone, the young man hesitated a little.

"Please hurry up!" Ye Ziqiong increased her volume and urged: "If senior brother is unwilling, in order to prevent discord between the two factions, you'd better return to Kunlun as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the young man no longer hesitated, walked over, bowed reluctantly and saluted: "Senior Zhou, junior to you—"

Zhou Qiao suddenly turned around, unwilling to accept the apology, and scolded: "The boy surnamed Ma——"

"Uncle Zhou!" Ye Ziqiong interrupted her: "I hope you accept Brother Ma's apology and let this matter pass like this. Otherwise, I have to discuss with Elder Ye and arrange a different matter for you—"

"Sect Master, don't talk about it." Zhou Qiao turned around helplessly, and said to the young man: "Boy, let's forget about today's matter, and it will fall into my hands next time, but it will not be so easy for you to pass. "After Zhou Qiao finished speaking, he flew up and landed on the roof, disappearing in an instant.

sharp! ...Xue Chang secretly screamed in his heart, he somehow knew that Zhou Qiao belonged to the kind of person who was not easy to control in the Iron and Blood Changhe Gate. It is indeed powerful; and this Kunlun sect disciple surnamed Ma obviously has a different status, and Ye Ziqiong can also force him to obey, so it can be seen that the life of being the head of Jinghu for nearly a year has given her a lot of training.

"Master Xue, this one is my father's apprentice, Ma Lingfeng, a disciple of the Kunlun Sect." Ye Ziqiong's words brought Xue Chang back to his senses, he smiled, cupped his hands at the young man and said, "Young Xia Ma, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Ma Lingfeng held his head high and put his hands together hastily as a return gift: "I heard from my junior sister that Master Xue is a rising star in Bashu martial arts, so I came here specially to have a look. I didn't expect Master Xue to be so young!"

Xue Chang smiled faintly: "Aspirations don't depend on age. Master Yemen is younger than me, so he can lead Iron Blood Changhemen to establish a good foothold in Jinghu Lake. I am nothing."

"It's only with the help of my grandfather's Yu Yin and all the masters and uncles that Iron Blood Changhe can develop so well in a short period of time, and it has nothing to do with me." Ye Ziqiong said modestly.

"You don't need to be humble, junior sister. You have been gifted and intelligent since you were a child, and you have won the love of your master. These old people in the Jagged River are all rebellious. You can make them bow their heads and obey orders, which is quite remarkable!" Ma Lingfeng flattered.

Ye Ziqiong looked at him, and said with a serious expression: "Brother Ma, please don't say that! All the senior uncles and I are all trying to restore the glory of the Jagged Changhemen, so we all take the initiative to do things desperately, no one takes orders from others !"

Ma Lingfeng didn't expect to be reprimanded for his good intentions, and he was a little displeased instinctively, but seeing Ye Ziqiong's flowery dimples, the dissatisfaction disappeared immediately, but he hesitated to speak in embarrassment.

"Junior Sister, let's stop standing at the door, let's go in first." Another familiar voice came from outside the door, dispelling the sudden embarrassment.

The speaker was Liu Yining in light yellow clothes, Xue Chang immediately greeted her with a smile: "Liu Hero, nice to meet you!"

Liu Yining just nodded slightly.

"Thanks to Miss Liu for the reminder, please come in, all three!" Xue Chang stepped aside to open the door, making an invitation gesture.

The three of Ye Ziqiong walked into the courtyard, Xu Xi and the others hurried forward to salute.

Ye Ziqiong looked around the courtyard, and then asked: "Is Head Xue satisfied with this accommodation?"

"Very satisfied." Xue Chang replied, and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect that the residence of Iron Blood Changhemen would be such a beautiful place. Not only is it a vast area, but it is also full of trees, flowers, Surrounded by lake water, it is quite spiritual!"

"Master Xue thinks so too?!" Ye Ziqiong's eyes flashed with joy, she glanced at Liu Yining, and said with some complacency: "When Commander Bian Jinlin discussed with us about transferring this house, I fell in love with it right away. .”

"Oh, by the way, Lord Yemen, the day after tomorrow is your coming-of-age ceremony. I have prepared a gift for you. Since I received the invitation letter at the end of November, I was a little hasty in preparing the gift. I hope you will forgive me. "Xue Chang said, beckoning Xu Xi to go into the house to get the gift.

"The reason why I invite all the factions to come for my birthday this time is mainly the idea of ​​Elder Ye, and all the masters also strongly support it." Ye Ziqiong did not look shy when talking about her coming-of-age ceremony. Instead, she looked serious : "They think that there needs to be a formal occasion to publicly announce to the various factions of the Great Zhou Wulin that the Iron-Blooded Changhemen will return to the Central Plains, and my birthday is the best time, because the imperial court will also send imperial envoys to announce on my birthday that day. I inherited my grandfather's title of Duke of Protecting the Country, and it is said that the current emperor has other rewards, so a coming-of-age ceremony is specially held for me, and it is so grand."

"I see." Xue Chang nodded to express his understanding. Although there was a tradition of patriarchal preference before the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there was no such thing as a "rite of passage" for women, but the situation was different in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not only women As a general, and there are women as princes, the atmosphere is much more open. Ye Ziqiong is in a special situation. She has to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony, and she can be accepted by the already more open martial arts people.

"Actually, Junior Sister, you don't have to be the protector of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Ma Lingfeng couldn't help interjecting: "You were originally the Princess of Qingluo, and you are more noble than this protector!"

Ye Ziqiong actually has this identity? ! ... Xue Chang was a little surprised.

Ye Ziqiong ignored Ma Lingfeng and did not explain, but watched Xu Xi struggling to bring out a three-foot long gift box, and asked with interest: "What gift did Master Xue give me?"

Xue Chang pointed to the gift box: "You can tell when you open it."

Ye Ziqiong was not polite either, and stepped forward to open the gift box: "It turned out to be two swords."

Ma Lingfeng leaned forward, and immediately showed contempt: "Such an ugly sword is actually used as a gift!"

There were two swords in the gift box. They had no scabbards or blades. They were black in color and slightly shorter than ordinary long swords, but the blades were wider. At first glance, they looked like two short iron bars.

Liu Yining didn't interrupt, she realized that Xue Chang was paying back the favor that Ye Ziqiong gave the sword back then, but this sword was indeed ugly enough, would Ziqiong want it?
Ye Ziqiong is a master of swordsmanship and has a deep understanding of the sword itself. She did not show disgust because of the ugliness of the sword, but looked at it thoughtfully for a while, and reached for the sword in the box. Knowing that it was very heavy in his hand, he couldn't pick it up easily, so he quickly mobilized his internal strength, and then he took the sword out of the gift box.

She brought the sword to her eyes, examined the blade carefully, and flicked it with her finger, but it didn't make any sound, but instead made her finger ache.

"Are these two swords made of black iron?" Ye Ziqiong asked in surprise.

"Not entirely." Xue Chang replied, "There is also a small amount of red gold and refined iron mixed in."

"It's too expensive!" Ye Ziqiong exclaimed. She had also read the list of weapons presented by the Jinghu Martial Officer and knew the price of black iron, so she hesitated and said, "Master Xue, I can't accept the gift you gave me." I can't accept it."

"The black iron is more expensive." Xue Chang said lightly. In fact, it is more than expensive. The purchase of the black iron stone alone cost more than 4 taels, and the cost of casting is not low (it is because it is too expensive, Xue Chang I didn’t buy too many black iron stones, just enough to cast two daggers), if Jiang Shijia and Xue Chang were not better, and I also knew that the Xiaoyao faction’s financial situation is very good, so he was allowed to pay back the expenses in installments within two years, otherwise Xue Chang might have to wipe out his family fortune.

"However, the Iron Blood Changhe Gate has repeatedly extended a helping hand and helped me free of charge. I, Xue Chang, have always felt that there is nothing I can do in return. Taking advantage of Yemen Master's birthday this time, I offer this gift to express my gratitude. I hope Yemen Master I can accept it!" Xue Chang said earnestly, apparently forgetting that the reason why he had such a deep connection with the Iron Blood Changhe Gate was actually because the Iron Blood Changhe Gate designed to lure the Iron Sword Gate, which led to Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau It was destroyed, but even if Xue Chang thought about it, he would think that it was the original owner's business and had nothing to do with him. At least as far as he knew, the plan that time was not from Ye Ziqiong, who just became the head of the sect.

After hearing this, Ye Ziqiong stopped being pretentious, and said straightforwardly: "Since it is Master Xue's kindness, I will accept this gift, but last time Master Xue also canceled all the debts owed to me by Tie Xue Chang He Sect, how good do you think?" ?”

"Okay." Xue Chang immediately agreed, and at the same time reminded: "The black iron stones are precious and rare in the world. The military inspector originally didn't plan to sell me so many black iron stones. He didn't do it until he learned that I wanted to forge a sword and give it to Yemen Master. It has been approved, so it is best for Yemen Master to take these two black iron swords to the Jinghu Martial Arts Division for registration, and I believe the Military Patrol Division will remind you not to give them to outsiders."

Xue Chang emphasized the word "outsider", and he believed that Ye Ziqiong could understand the meaning.

Not only did the clever Ye Ziqiong understand, Liu Yining behind him also changed his face, but Ma Lingfeng said disdainfully: "Although this black iron is precious, it is a waste to make swords. It is not only heavy, but also not sharp. For decoration, I don't see any other use for it."

"Senior brother!" Ye Ziqiong immediately scowled with a downcast face.

Xue Chang immediately laughed: "It seems that Shaoxia Ma doesn't know how to use a sword."

"I don't know how to use a sword?!" Ma Lingfeng was a little annoyed, and he said proudly: "My Kunlun School is a great school of swordsmanship in the martial arts. ...These unique skills of swordsmanship are not something that you, a newly established sect, can see!"

Hearing the other party's sarcasm, Xue Chang's face was still calm, and he asked in a deep voice: "My Xiaoyao Sect is a small sect, but Ma Shaoxia has heard the true meaning of swordsmanship of 'epee has no edge, great skill does not work'? "

Ma Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and then dismissively said: "It's just that people who don't know how to use swords are talking nonsense. Any sword technique must give full play to the sharpness of the sword, otherwise you can hold the sword and follow it. Holding an iron rod makes no difference, so is that still called swordsmanship!"
