The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 57

After returning to the ship, Liu Chan sent the wounded to Wu Pu for treatment, and then asked Zhao Feng to show him the Baihong Sword.I don't want to take it from Zhao Feng's hand, but the weight is so heavy that he can hardly lift it.

Zhao Feng quickly took the Baihong sword, pulled it out, and put both hands in front of Liu Chan.Liu Chan didn't go to pick up the sword anymore, but just observed the sword carefully, and found that it was really a good sword, the blade was as bright as white snow, and when the sun shone, it looked like a stream of autumn water.

Liu Chan stretched out his hand and flicked on the sword again, the sound was really clear and sweet.Liu Chan asked Zhao Feng proudly, "How is it? This should be a good sword, right?"

Zhao Feng nodded, and said enviously: "It is indeed a good sword that is hard to find, and it is indeed the number one imperial sword of Marquis Wu!"

Liu Chan recalled that Zhao Zilong snatched a Qingzhi sword from Cao Cao's sword-bearer Xia Houen when he was with him in Changbanpo.He asked Zhao Feng, which one is better, the Baihong Sword or Zhao Yun's Qingzhi Sword?
Zhao Feng pondered for a while, and said: "In terms of sword nature, the Qingzhi sword belongs to Cao Cao, but it is a domineering sword. The Baihong sword belongs to the sword of the Soochow King. It is more than defensive, but not domineering."

Liu Chan never imagined that he could hear such a wonderful argument from a military general like Zhao Feng, and he secretly lamented that there are indeed differences in realms among warriors, how could ordinary generals say such loud words?He couldn't help but look at the stubborn Zhao Feng differently, and asked him to continue talking.

"In terms of quality, the subordinates really have to distinguish. The Baihong sword and the other five swords in Wuhou's possession are the works of Ou Yezi's middle age, while the Qingzhi sword is the work of Ou Yezi's later period, so it may be slightly better. .”

Of course Liu Chan knew about Ou Yezi. He was not only a legendary figure in martial arts novels, but also existed in history.A series of illustrious and famous bronze swords cast by Ou Yezi are the most famous in China. They have shown infinite power in the battles of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes in the Warring States Period.At this time, the territory of Soochow Wu completely covered the boundaries that were crossed back then, so it was certainly possible for him to obtain so many masterpieces by Ou Yezi.

After knowing Bai Hongjian's illustrious life experience, Liu Chan felt elated immediately, and then thought of a person.He said to Han Long, "Mr. Han, please come forward."

Han Long was a little fascinated by listening to Zhao Feng discussing swords. He secretly felt that Zhao Feng was a round younger than him, but because he came from the famous teacher Zhao Yun's family, his insight was really not comparable to him.Now that he heard Liu Chan calling him, he came back to his senses, walked quickly to Liu Chan, and asked, "What is your order?"

Liu Chan pointed to the Baihong sword and asked, "What do Mr. Han think about this sword?"

Han Long thought for a while and said: "Although this sword is calm and introverted, it contains murderous intent. If it doesn't move, it will be fine. If it moves, it will hurt."

Liu Chan laughed when he heard this. Zhao Feng and Han Long had different backgrounds, and they really had a huge difference in their perception of weapons. He asked, "Mr. Han, let me ask you, who is the most suitable person to use this sword?"

Hearing this, Han Long couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed: "This..."

Liu Chan signaled Zhao Feng to give the Baihong Sword to Han Long for a try.Although Han Long didn't know why Liu Chan asked him to try the sword, it was the dream of all warriors to personally try such a world-famous sword. Of course, Han Long didn't want to refuse, so he took it carefully.

As soon as the Baihong sword entered Han Long's hands, his body immediately felt like an electric shock, as if he had been connected with the sword.Han Long then began to practice on the deck, and when he made a move, there were many shadows of swords, making it impossible to see where the real sword was.

Han Long's swordsmanship was not known for its strength and fierceness, but seeing one move after another, it was like a boat going down a river, giving people a sense of continuity.Everyone couldn't help but applaud loudly.Among them, the ones who yelled the loudest were the slave sailors that Liu Chan wanted from Sun Quan.

After the rehearsal, Han Long collected his breath, said that the sword was really good, and then respectfully returned the Baihong Sword to Zhao Feng. After all, it would be a great honor to see such a sword once.No, Liu Chan stopped Han Long and said, "Why did Mr. Han give the Baihong Sword to Zhao Feng?"

Han Long couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "Young master's sword, of course, must be handed over to Captain Zhao for safekeeping."

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Mr. Han's words are wrong. Since this sword has already entered Mr.'s hands, how can Chan get it back?"

Hearing what Liu Chan said, Han Long actually wanted to give the Baihong Sword to himself. He couldn't help but change his face, and quickly declined: "This kind of sword is not something that people like Han Long can use. Please take it back, sir."

In fact, ever since Liu Chan was kidnapped by Sasaki Kojiro and rescued by Han Long, the two have become close friends.What's more, Han Long can be called a hero who stands up to the sky and sticks knives for his friends.

What's more, Liu Chan has always been helped by him all the time: when he heard that Liu Chan was troubled by the operating expenses of the National Medical Institute, he immediately sent a thousand dollars without hesitation; Menke, after training the pigeons, he immediately let him go without saying a word, and let him become an official without asking for anything in return.

Where can I find such a good friend?How could Liu Chan not be grateful?Therefore, now that he has obtained this rare sword in the world, and it suits Han Long's wishes, of course Liu Chan will give it to Han Long without hesitation.

Liu Chan said: "Mr. Han, don't say that. As the saying goes, 'The sword should be given to a martyr'. If you are not a martyr, Mr. Han, there will be no more martyrs in the world."

Han Long was about to decline again, but Liu Chan said first: "Mr. Han should know the truth that no one is rewarded without merit. Your help to Zen is well known, and Zen is firmly in mind. If you don't accept this sword again, Mr. , I can’t help but look down on Zen.”

Han Long knew that if he didn't accept the sword again, he would be too disrespectful to Liu Chan, so he had no choice but to agree, and his heart was full of gratitude to Liu Chan.Then he solemnly knelt down on one knee, raised his sword with both hands, and bowed to Liu Chan.Liu Chan hurriedly got Han Long up, secretly surprised at how much he attached importance to this sword.

How did he know that in that era, a sword was a status symbol; two, a sword might even be more precious than his own life to a swordsman.Therefore, Han Long was able to obtain Sun Quan's imperial sword, thinking that it was a dreamlike thing, how could he not be extremely grateful to Liu Chan?
At this time, everyone cheered loudly again, envious that Han Long could get such a precious sword, but the voice of the slave sailor was still the loudest.Then Gao Ye shouted: "Hey, this kid can even give away such a sword, it really is a bit extraordinary! I am a little impressed!"

As soon as Gao Ye said this, the boat became completely silent. Zhao Feng's bodyguards all turned their heads to look at Gao Ye in unison, all of them looked fierce and threatened to turn their faces immediately, and Gao Ye couldn't help being startled.

He is a rude person, of course he doesn't know that what he said just now has offended their noble son.Even more unaware that he is just a slave, how could he speak to their young master like that!Gao Ye couldn't help hesitating: "You, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Chan knew that Gao Ye was a newcomer and didn't know his background, but he just smiled slightly at this, telling everyone not to be nervous, let alone make things difficult for him.The expressions on the faces of the fifty guards softened after hearing Liu Chan's words.
