The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 247: Gift of the Sword (Part )

After all, Wei Zhuang is still young and his skills are not as good as Xi Yi's.

With the talents of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, they will be able to be on par with Xi Yi in just ten years, or even slightly better.

Wei Zhuang said in a deep voice: "I lost."

Xi Yi said: "I won by virtue of my age. At this age, I am far inferior to you two. You two are more talented than me."

Ying Zheng laughed: "They are both good swordsmen. They are both considered the best in the world."

Looking at Wei Liao, he said, "Wei Qing, the disciples of Guiguzi are indeed extraordinary and they teach well."

Wei Liao smiled softly: "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. They are still far from it."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I just saw clearly that, in addition to the difference in skills, the weapons suffered a little loss."

In the fight just now, the sharp swords in the hands of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were already full of gaps. If they fought for more than a hundred moves, they would definitely be damaged.

The two men had rare swords in their hands, which were standard long swords, with uniform length, width and thickness, and they were even more powerful during the fight. But even so, when they collided with Xi Yi's thin and slender 'Phantom with the Wind' sword, it was still their swords that were damaged, while the seemingly thinner and more fragile 'Phantom with the Wind' sword was still intact, and the sword body was still as bright as a clear spring.

This is why the sword is so valuable. It saves more internal energy, is more durable, and is sharper. When it is infused with powerful skills, each move becomes more powerful.

Ying Zheng asked: "My two nobles, do you have any famous swords?"

Gai Nie replied, "Your Majesty, my junior brother and I have just started our apprenticeship and have not yet had the chance to obtain a precious sword or famous weapon."

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "As a skilled swordsman, how can I not have a good sword?"

"People choose swords, and swords also choose people. I have just seen the sword techniques of the two noble families."

"Wei Qing, let's take the two of you to get familiar with the office hall first, and you can go and make the arrangements."

Several people bowed respectfully and left.

Ying Zheng returned to the palace and fell into deep thought.

What a skilled swordsman would want most is definitely a precious sword. These two do not like eating, drinking and having fun. The most important thing to them is the great wish in their hearts. Apart from that, the only thing they want is a precious sword.

There are many precious swords in the Qin Dynasty. Which two swords would be better to give them?
This is something that needs to be carefully considered.

Seeing Li Wu standing obediently aside and waving his hand, Li Wu immediately jumped into Ying Zheng's arms with joy. Ying Zheng held Li Wu in his arms, holding her warm and fragrant beauty in his arms, letting the beauty sit on his lap, and his hand also climbed up to the baby's canteen.

Sure enough, it’s much more comfortable to think about things this way.

After thinking for a while, I made a decision.

He ordered the eunuchs to go to the royal treasury and take it and give it to Gai Nie Wei Zhuang.

Now I have to deal with another matter. Li Wu is always restless in my arms. She keeps making small movements, either rubbing against me with her buttocks or grabbing me with her little hands. This makes me very angry.

This girl seems to like eating now and always seizes the opportunity to eat.

Ying Zheng patted Li Wu on the waist and gave her a blaming look. Li Wu immediately looked at her master pitifully, clasped her hands in front of her and begged for mercy, squeezing out a bottomless gully on the snow hill.

Then he tentatively raised his long legs and rubbed a booklet off the edge of the table.

"My lord, something seems to have fallen. I will go pick it up."

Ying Zheng nodded calmly.

Li Wu slid to the table and picked it up: "Strange, it's clearly here, why can't I find it, why can't I find it?" "It seems to be under the king's clothes~"

Ying Zheng took a deep breath slowly, and Li Wu's voice began to become unclear.

It seems that it is not easy to find.

Wei Liao took Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang to the left hall of Zhangfa Hall and introduced Wang Ao to them. Wang Ao helped them settle down and then Wei Liao left. He was very busy with affairs of state and these small matters were not worthy of him to arrange personally.

Wang Ao is a few years older than Gai Nie Wei Zhuang. He is also handsome and heroic. He had made great contributions in his previous mission to the State of Chu, and can be regarded as Gai Nie Wei Zhuang's senior brother. Wang Ao kindly took the two of them to familiarize themselves with all the duties and important points of a minister.

In the afternoon, several eunuchs came to convey the emperor's order, bestowing swords on Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

The two men thanked the emperor and accepted the sword. Even though they had been cultivating their nature in Guigu for many years, they could not help but feel happy, after all, they were young at heart.

As the world's top swordsman, how could he not want to own a sword? It's a pity that swords are naturally rare and precious. Now that they have entered Qin, they were directly given one. The two of them have not made any contribution, and they can't help but feel grateful in their hearts. The king is really generous.

The eunuch smiled respectfully and said, "My Lords, these are the swords that the King specially selected based on your martial arts and swordsmanship styles. I will explain these two swords to you."

The two politely replied, "Please speak, eunuch."

The eunuch smiled and said, "Please let Master Gai Nie draw his sword and let us see it."

Gai Nie drew out his sword and focused all his attention on it, observing it carefully. Wei Zhuang also watched carefully, and many colleagues came forward to join in the fun.

"Master Gai Nie's sword is called 'Gongbu'. I believe Master Gai Nie must have heard of it."

Gai Nie's pupils shrank and he exclaimed: "It's actually 'Gongbu'!"

Wei Zhuang couldn't help but move closer to watch, and all the attendants in the field came forward, full of envy.

Gai Nie turned the sword over and saw two ancient large seal characters. With the knowledge of Guiguzi disciples, he naturally knew the meaning of these two characters, which were Gongbu!

"Gong" also meant "gong" and "gong" in ancient times.

One is exquisiteness, two is sturdiness, and three is ingenious decoration.

Cloth, currency, and clothing.

Gai Nie spoke slowly, "In the past, the King of Chu asked Master Feng Huzi to find two sword-making masters, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang, to forge swords for him. They searched for the Seven Star Spring, chiseled the Cishan Mountain, drained its stream, and took the iron silver. It took three years for gods and men to work together to get three swords."

"One is the best sword in the world, 'Tia', which is now the king's personal sword."

"The second one is the 'Seven Star Dragon Abyss', which was obtained by Lord Xinling two years ago. Its whereabouts are unknown after Lord Xinling's death."

"The third one is this 'Gongbu'. It is said that when this sword was completed, seven ice dragons jumped out of the Seven Star Spring and possessed it. Therefore, if you want to identify this sword, it is very simple. Its pattern starts from the pattern and ends at the spine, like a pearl that cannot be folded, and the pattern is like a flowing stream that never stops."

Everyone took a closer look and found that the sword was indeed of an elegant shape with seven sword patterns on both sides of the sword, like dragon patterns and flowing water, stretching from the handle to the tip. A faint blue-green chill came over them, making people dare not look directly at it.

Everyone was extremely envious. This was the most precious treasure in the world. The king was willing to give such a precious sword to the newcomer. It was really enviable and jealous.

The eunuch said, "Lord Gai Nie is right. He is very knowledgeable. The king said: Gai Nie's swordsmanship is superb, magnificent and upright, vast and solemn. Gongbu is a sword of justice and fairness, which is suitable for Gai Nie."

"Lord Gai Nie, this is specially selected for you by the King. Please take good care of it."

As Gai Nie held the sword, his mind was filled with thoughts and he was extremely moved. He felt that he had not done anything, so how could he deserve such kindness?
