After meeting with the qualified candidates tonight, everyone was invited out and could go home first.

Only Gu Shun, Manager Qu and Xiao Hui were left in the room.

Gu Shun made a straightforward arrangement and said: "Manager Qu, don't disclose the matter of being the general manager for the time being. After the two stores complete the merger of the new organizational structure, I will officially announce it."

"I understand that I will keep this news until Yuantong completes the transformation."

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shun turned his attention to Xiao Hui, "I heard that this child was picked up by Manager Qu from Kuaiji County. What's going on?"

"This matter starts from the time when I just became the manager of Junze pawnshop ten years ago.

At that time, Longquan was rich in Longquan swords. As Junze's manager, I went to Longquan Town to meet a client on behalf of Junze. The client's family was in trouble and wanted to give us a long-standing Longquan sword to pay off his debts.

Because I was afraid that the sword would be robbed on the road, I went to Longquan in person to talk to him.

After everything was agreed, before I could leave, I heard that the Xiao family in Longquan was killed by the whole clan because they had privately hiding a criminal and attempted to rebel.

However, I heard from the locals that private hiding is just an excuse. In fact, the Qi court wanted to hand over the skills of forging the Longquan sword.

But who knew that the head of the Xiao family refused to obey. He was buried in the fire with the inherited classics of making swords, which made the officials of the Daqi Dynasty angry, and then ordered the Xiao family to be exterminated."

When he said this, Gu Shun glanced at Xiao Hui. Although he couldn't speak, he couldn't help but clenched his palms and clenched his palms. The force flowing out of his body inadvertently was filled with blood-red evil aura, thunderous and domineering.

Manager Qu continued, "I just heard about this and didn't care. Later, when I returned to Jiangnan City, I watched a woman wearing a maid's costume lying on the side of the road with a child in her arms.

Out of kindness, I carried them onto the carriage. While on the road, the maid woke up and kowtowed desperately in her arms, begging me not to kill them.

After I explained my identity, the maid felt relieved. Then she entrusted the child to me and said that the child was the only flesh and blood of the Xiao family. The head of the Xiao family had sent someone to secretly escort him out to escape before the Xiao family was about to be in trouble.

As a result, after the Xiao family was slaughtered, the Great Qi Dynasty still learned the news and sent people to chase them. The Xiao family guards who were responsible for escorting them were lured away from the mountain, leading away the pursuers of the Xianbei people, so that they survived.

She took poison while running away, and there was no time left. In order to ensure that the only remaining flesh and blood in the Xiao family survived safely, she entrusted him to me.

Later I brought the child back to Jiangnan City and invisibly turned into Xiao Hui. In fact, he was the only survivor of the Xiao family in Longquan.

But this child has been a mute since he first met. I suspect that he had also taken poison. As long as he poisoned him, even if the Xianbei people knew his identity, they would not do anything to him.

Later, I tried to find a doctor to grab all kinds of medicines for the child, hoping to cure his throat, but after taking all the medicines I can use, it just won’t be cured.”

Listening to Manager Qu’s experience about Xiao Hui, Gu Shun also sighed in a sigh.

The Xiao family of Longquan was once a sword-making family that was famous throughout the Han Dynasty. The most famous Longquan sword in history was built by Ou Yezi in Longquan. It is one of the most famous ones among the top ten famous swords that have been passed down in the world.

It is said that in order to cast Longquan sword, Ou Yezi actually dug up the mountain and lured the stream in the mountain to the seven pools lined with the Big Dipper rings next to the sword-casting furnace. Later, the seven pools formed the seven-eye spring water, which gushed and surging for years.

After the birth of the Longquan Sword, looking down at the sword body, it was like climbing down a mountain to look at the abyss. It seemed like a giant dragon lying on the scattered and deep, so it was called the Longyuan Sword. Later, in order to commemorate the sword and became a spring, it was changed to the Longquan Sword.

The Longquan sword refined by Ou Yezi is said to be hidden in the already lost Han armed forces.

However, it is precisely because the sword is too famous that the place where it was smelted was changed to Longquan, which is rich in Longquan swords.

Longquan Town is famous for its swords and is prosperous because of its swords. There are more than 20 sword-casting workshops of all sizes in the entire town, but the only Longquan sword smelted by the Xiao family can be called a sword.

It is widely rumored that the Xiao family has the technology left by Ou Yezi when he built the Longquan Sword. The ancestors of the Xiao family were Ou Yezi's apprentices, so the Longquan Sword made can be called the best among the swords, and each one is expensive.

Gu Shun had seen two Longquan swords smelted and cast by the Xiao family in the warehouse of the Gu family. It is known for its toughness and sharpness, and can split through an inch of iron plate at once. The armor worn by the soldiers will be cut through effortlessly, and the sword blade will not cause any loss.

Secondly, the most different thing about the Longquan Sword is from other swords. Although it is made of pig iron, it is both rigid and soft. A qualified Longquan Sword can even be rolled into a circle like a spring, and tied in the waist like a belt, which is softer and smoother than a soft sword. However, when it is unbuttoned, the Longquan Sword will return to a straight and tough appearance.

To achieve this effect, you must use the seven-eyed spring water left by Ou Yezi in Longquan Town. In addition, special quenching technology is also required. It is easy to fold too hard, but it is too soft but not too soft. Only the Xiao family at that time could make the most perfect Longquan sword with quality.

In addition, the Longquan sword refined by the Xiao family also has the characteristics of being extremely cold, exquisite patterns, complicated craftsmanship, and sharp iron like mud. For a long time, it became a royal craftsman family dedicated to royal use.

The important officials around the emperor even left behind a famous chapter of "The color of the dragon spring is like frost and snow, and the good craftsmen sighed with extraordinary beauty. The light is dim and the color of the snake, and the article is green tortoise scales. They are not directly acquainted with the heroes, but have also been close to heroes. Even if they are buried in dust and have no use, they can still soar into the sky every night."

The emperors of the Han Dynasty even regarded it as a Shangfang sword. Wearing the Longquan sword can disobey military orders, kill first and then report. It is also an important ritual instrument for the royal family to be awarded the marquis and generals every year.

Such rare treasures naturally attracted the covetment and covetment of countless people. The various sword-casting workshops in Longquan Town, as well as the sword sects and villas in the world, have spent a lot of money to imitate. Unfortunately, the imitated Longquan swords are all tangible and indescribable, and they are simply incomparable to the Longquan swords made by the Xiao family.

When the Han Dynasty was still alive, the Xiao family could still be protected by the court, and the family's power gradually grew, and its momentum in Longquan was at its peak.

Unfortunately, after the destruction of the Han Dynasty, the Xiao family lost its biggest protective umbrella. As the Xianbei entered the Central Plains and established the Daqi, the Xiao family became a fish on the chopping board, which attracted special attention from the Xianbei people.

In order to obtain the secret of the Xiao family casting the Longquan sword, the Xianbei people used both soft and hard skills, forcing the Xiao family to hand over the method of making the sword.

However, the Xiao family refused to obey and ended up being exterminated.

And Xiao Hui is probably the only survivor of the entire Xiao family and the orphan of the Xiao family.

Gu Shun turned around, patted Xiao Hui on the shoulder and said, "Do you want to take revenge?"

Xiao Hui shook his head hesitantly, his face seemed very struggling and painful.

However, through the mind reading technique, Gu Shun found that his heart had been covered with countless hatred at this moment. This kind of person who hides his heart layer by layer with a little training will become the fastest sword at Gu Shun.

Moreover, the luck he has is extremely strong, which also indicates that his future prospects are limitless.
