Chapter 139 Recasting the Sword
Chapter 139: Sword Recast
Gu Jian was very excited when he learned Zhou Zhiruo's thoughts. His previous imagination seemed to have been affirmed, and there were people who were willing to believe him and let him try.
After talking with Zhou Zhiruo, he locked himself in the room with a sword in his arms. His father told him to ignore it. No one bought him wine. His father became more and more irritable and beat him up, but Gu Jian ignored him at all, so he went to find Zhou Zhiruo. Perhaps because Zhou Zhiruo was an outsider after all, he stammered when facing her, and left without saying a last word.
This situation lasted for nearly two days. On the afternoon of the third day when Zhou Zhiruo arrived at the Gu family, Gu Jian rushed to slap Zhou Zhiruo's door. At that time, Zhou Zhiruo was practicing internal skills, but was disturbed by Gu Jian's dense sound of slapping the door, and his blood tumbling for a moment.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly suppressed her true energy and then opened the door. Outside the door was Gu Jian's uncontrollable smile. He was so excited: "Miss Zhou, please take a look, how about the drawings I drew?"
He locked himself in the room these two days just to draw drawings.
Zhou Zhiruo took it and looked at it. She found that the male and female swords he drew were somewhat similar to the pair of short swords he had shown him before, but there was a big difference when he looked closely.
“How long will it take?”
Gu Jian was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It will take one year at the earliest. My sword-making skills are not as good as my father, Miss Zhou. I am actually a little afraid of ruining your things." He was afraid that the sword he made would be like his previous short sword, and would be useless.
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes froze, this is indeed a problem.
Zhang Wuji said sincerely, but Xiao Yuer couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With Zhou Zhiruo's temper, it might be difficult to turn back.
Xiao Yuer said, "I know that you like Master Zhou in your heart, and you also know that you are soft-hearted and unable to bear to leave Miss Zhao, but do you know that you are actually digging your own grave? Even if Zhao Min is not from the court, how can her father-daughter relationship with King Ruyang be cut off? How can the Ming Cult have no objection to her? Your tough stay will have a great impact on your reputation in the Ming Cult and the Rebel Army."
Xiao Yuer said: "I'm afraid Cheng Kun is fanning the flames and then we can reach the current situation."
It is almost the end of April, and there are less than ten days left before the Dragon Boat Festival. Zhang Wuji, Xiao Yuer and others rushed for five or six days, and finally felt the Songshan territory before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Xiao Yu'er kept holding her hands behind the back without saying anything. Zhao Min might be as Zhang Wuji said that he would not help the court, but he would undoubtedly destroy his future when he took her back to Haozhou at this time. Those rebels would never accept Zhao Min. If Zhang Wuji insisted on his own, the most likely thing would be to be separated from each other.
Zhang Wuji would rather harm himself and benefit others like this. I really don’t know if he should be stupid or stupid.
Yang Xiao's words made everyone feel a little ashamed and they shut up and stopped talking.
Zhang Wuji hurriedly returned to protect: "In Xinghua Camp that day, Miss Zhao sacrificed her life to save Brother Zhu and was sentenced to beheading by the court. Fortunately, Fan You Envoy helped him survive."
Everyone hurriedly went to respond, but saw Zhao Min following Zhang Wuji and also came to the Marshal's Mansion. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and spoke ill of each other.
"Chengkun, the traitor, has a very poisonous heart." Xiao Yuer couldn't help but say.
But he is not burdened by fame and fortune, and sticking to his beliefs is also admirable?
On the second day, Zhang Wuji found Xiaoyuer, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao and others to discuss the rescue of Xie Xun.
"If the leader hadn't been protecting you, I'd have killed you!" Wei Yixiao was so angry that he was angry for a long time.
Zhou Zhiruo's expression was calm, and her eyes fell on Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min who were sitting together.
"I can prove this," Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "At that time, Miss Zhao mistakenly thought I was the leader and tried to save her, causing trouble."
"Zhiruo..." Zhang Wuji suddenly felt a little melancholy, "I never thought of giving up the marriage, but now my adoptive father is trapped. When I rescue my adoptive father, I will definitely go to Emei and take the blame to her and ask her for forgiveness. As long as she can relieve her, I will never complain even if I kill me!"
After the waiter saw off the third customer who came to the store to inquire, he welcomed the fourth person.
But there is a person whose life is repeated and painful, and this person is Xiao Yuer.
On this day, Zhang Wuji accompanied Zhao Min and his brothers to eat in the inn lobby. Yang Xiao and Fan Yao naturally would not say anything. Wusanren and Wei Yixiao were still feeling uncomfortable, but they couldn't say anything in front of Zhang Wuji. Xiaoyuer never cared about these things, so although the atmosphere during meals was not lively, it was not too stiff.
But things took a different trend when Chuzhou ushered in a great victory.
"I know." Zhang Wuji said, "But I owe her after all, I can't give up her just because I am. This is not something that a gentleman does."
Xiaoyuer walked into the room. Zhang Wuji was about to go out when he saw Xiaoyuer's expression slightly changed.
Zhang Wuji originally wanted Xiao Yuer to lead the rebel army, but Xiao Yuer said he wanted to go to Shaolin with them. Yang Xiao thought it was feasible, so he persuaded Zhang Wuji to let Xiao Yuer go with him.
Zhou Dian rolled his eyes and said, "Even if she is not the princess of the court, she is still the daughter of King Ruyang. Can she really attack King Ruyang?"
The Ming Taoist Army had started war with the court again. Since he was the deputy leader of the Ming Cult, different people have come to him with different questions every day, asking him about food and supplies, asking him for a look at the marching strategies, and the generals have to make decisions. He often discusses matters with Yang Xiao and the others until late at night.
At this time, the atmosphere was sluggish, Xiao Yuer shook her head and turned away, and he walked slowly, thinking: The five scattered people praised Zhang Wuji so much at the time, and followed Zhang Wuji's orders, but now even they have complained about Zhang Wuji, you can imagine what the Ming Cult and the rest of the rebel army would think. Yang Xiao should have seen it, but he knew that he could not change Zhang Wuji's decision, and because he was the left envoy of the Ming Cult, he could not add more entries to Zhang Wuji's ideas. Although he had tried his best to calm everyone down for Zhang Wuji, he could not cure the symptoms but not the root cause.
Along the way, Xiao Yuer almost never said a word to Zhao Min, and Zhao Min didn't like Xiao Yuer very much. Even because of Zhou Zhiruo, she became more hostile and scrutinized towards Xiao Yuer.
Xiao Yuer nodded and continued to ask, "Then my master...what are you going to do with the leader Zhou?"
Instead of going to Shaolin directly, they found an inn at the foot of Shaolin Temple to live in for a while.
Among this group of people, in addition to the Ming Cult, there is also Zhao Min.
Xiao Yuer felt a little strange. Yang Xiao put Zhang Wuji first in everything. Zhu Yuanzhang clearly wanted to use this matter to weaken Zhang Wuji's prestige and status in the army. Why can Yang Xiao tolerate it?
After Yang Xiao's persuasion, the five scattered people finally did not pursue the matter. At this moment, Zhang Wuji returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
"Zhiruo..." Zhang Wuji suddenly looked up and saw Zhou Zhiruo's faint gaze. He suddenly felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles and was at a loss. He quickly moved his body and pulled a distance from Zhao Min.
Xiao Yuer raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to find Zhao Min?"
Some people often tie themselves up without knowing themselves, and Zhang Wuji may be one of them.
In the lobby, the waiter at the hall served them with wine and food attentively. Occasionally, some customers who wanted to go to the store to have a meal and have a good time, and he would also come forward to inform the inn that the inn had been booked and asked them to go elsewhere.
Zhang Wuji said: "I invite you all to come today because I want to discuss with you the matter of rescuing my adoptive father. I sneaked into Shaolin to rescue people before, but failed. The power of the Vajra Demon Subduing Circle is unimaginable."
Xie Xun was a hero of the Ming Cult. The Ming Cult should not be willing to see him die of humiliation. Yang Xiao asked Zhang Wuji to order rescue. Zhang Wuji did not hesitate for a moment and ordered the troops to be divided into two groups, one by Han Lin'er and Zhu Yuanzhang, and continued to fight against the Yuan army as planned. The rest of the people went to Shaolin with him and notified the Eagle King and his son to meet in Shaolin.
Zhang Wuji was a little embarrassed.
The waiter was shocked to his senses, and quickly met the door and said earnestly: "Girl, our inn has been booked. If you want to have a meal or stay in a hotel, you can go to Guiyun Inn on East Street. It is the best inn in the city. You will definitely feel comfortable staying there."
"Brother Zhang." Xiao Yuer leaned against the door and looked at Zhang Wuji with bright eyes, "Are you with Zhao Min?"
The girl in purple shirt looked in the lobby and didn't say anything for a long time.
However, the Ming Taoist Army also achieved considerable results under the coordination of Xiao Yuer. Because of Xiao Yuer, Zhu Yuanzhang was suppressed and did nothing.
She always felt that in addition to the master-apprentice relationship, there was another unexplained relationship between Xiao Yuer and Zhou Zhiruo.
"Enough!" Yang Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, raised his voice and said, "The leader is the leader of a sect, and his status is respectful. How can you be disrespectful here? If the leader had not sacrificed himself to save him that day, the Ming Cult would have been over. Today, you have complained to the leader for a woman. What is the conscience? What is loyalty and righteousness? If there is next time, no matter who it is, I, Yang Xiao, will destroy him with my own hands!"
Zhang Wuji said again: "Everyone, Miss Zhao can't stand what Yuan Shi does. She has completely cut off relations with Yuan Shi and is no longer the princess of the court. We should not care about the past grievances. Can we get along peacefully?"
Xie Xun was trapped in Shaolin Temple by Cheng Kun's design. If she was correct, the lion slaughtering conference would be almost a month later.
Leng Qian said: "The witch cannot be kept."
Originally, Zhang Wuji didn't want Zhao Min to come with him, but Zhao Min insisted, saying that even if he disagreed, he could find a way to follow him alone. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let her be with him, so that it would be safer.
Xiao Yuer originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was quite cunning, and as soon as this happened, he felt that he was even more ambitious.
After Zhao Min was said this, she felt ashamed and angry and did not want to stay any longer, but was stopped by Zhang Wuji. He tried his best to protect her, and he thought about her everywhere in his words, which made everyone think that Zhao Min was a disaster.
"President Zhou?" Zhou Dian spoke first. He looked at Zhou Zhiruo with a shocked look on his face.
This result made Wei Yixiao, a man from the five scattered people feel uncomfortable. Yang Xiao said, "Brothers, Yang Xiao's words were a bit heavy just now. We brothers can joke in private, but we must respect the leader."
Upon receiving this news, Zhang Wuji was shocked and also felt angry and puzzled: "Master Du'er clearly promised me to protect my adoptive father Zhouquan, why did he suddenly change his mind?"
Looking at the girl in purple clothes standing outside the door, she had a beautiful appearance and a graceful figure, giving people a feeling of being colder than a fairy. The waiter was stunned for a long time. This woman was so beautiful!
The waiter felt strange, and everyone eating in the lobby also felt strange. A few of them looked up at the door. They didn't know how to look at it.
Wei Yixiao said: "President Zhou is now closed and you are with this witch. How can people in the martial arts world discuss this?"
"I……"
Everyone was concentrating and pondering. At this time, someone suddenly came to report that it was Shaolin Temple’s hero posts, and that the lion slaughtering ceremony was held during the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xie Xun was to be killed.
Zhang Wuji once made it clear that after the Ming Taoist army overthrew the court, they were not allowed to hold any official position. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang recommends Han Lin'er to be emperor, wouldn't he ignore Zhang Wuji's words?
During this period, Zhou Zhiruo learned from the letters from the Emei disciples that Jiang Xiaoyu had become the deputy leader of the Ming Cult. Yin Tianzheng visited Emei many times and wanted to apologize to Zhang Wuji.
Xiao Yuer thought about this and suddenly looked up and found that she had walked outside Zhang Wuji's room without knowing it.
The Budai monk said, "This woman is vicious in her scheming. We have been fooled before. Do you want to go there again?"
Everyone was silent, Yang Xiao sighed and left with Fan Yao.
There was nothing critical, and Zhou Zhiruo ignored it. He only checked the progress of the sword making process every day and practiced his skills, and his life was monotonous and repeated.
The little fish was speechless.
With Yang Xiao's support, Zhao Min was able to stay in the Marshal's Mansion.
Zhou Dian said: "Master, is she important or is our Ming Cult brother important?"
"First repair the Yitian Sword." Zhou Zhiruo said: "I can't stay here for long. I will give you twenty days. When the twenty days arrive, I will see the complete Yitian Sword."
The five scattered people were all dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, but Yang Xiao said that the recommendation of Han Lin'er to be emperor was also a helpless act. Since this was the case, there was nothing he could do.
He said: "Cheng Kun brought his adoptive father to Shaolin, and deceived the three masters of Duer Er Du Nan and Tribulation to guard day and night. In addition to trying to kill his adoptive father, he also wanted to learn the whereabouts of the Dragon Slaying Sword from his adoptive father."
In the battle of Chuzhou, Han Shantong died in battle, and Zhu Yuanzhang and others joined forces to elect Han Liner as the emperor.
On the other side of Zhang Wuji is Xiaoyuer.
He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but Zhang Wuji was his friend. During this period when he was the deputy leader, he also had some feelings for the Ming Cult. It would be better to do his best to leave his fate.
Gu Jian nodded. Although he was hesitant and nervous, giving up before he could do it was definitely not his style.
"No!" Zhang Wuji's originally embarrassed expression immediately became serious. He said solemnly, "I just feel that I owe her something. She is homeless because I am homeless, so I can't ignore her."
Xiao Yuer knew that she could not persuade her, patted Zhang Wuji on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, since you have decided, I won't stop you. Miss Zhao will inevitably be unacceptable to you when you come here alone. Please take care of her." After that, Xiao Yuer turned around and left.
Xiao Yuer is a casual person, and her movements and expressions are different from others. Others are either shocked or embarrassed, but he seems to have nothing happened. He sat quietly in his position, and when his eyes touched her, he seemed to be looking at an ordinary person.
"Zhiruo!" Zhang Wuji got up, walked around everyone and ran to Zhou Zhiruo with anxiety and apologetic eyes, "Zhiruo, why are you here?"
Zhou Zhiruo ignored Zhang Wuji and said to the waiter: "Since someone has been taken over here, I'll go somewhere else to take a look. Thank you."
"etc!"
Chapter completed!
