Chapter 28 A good sword is like a beauty
(The monthly tickets are 17,000, thank you...)
Liu Qiong'er took out the money and waited for Xu Wuliang to leave, her beautiful eyes stared at Xu Huai, and said in dissatisfaction:
"Look, Xu Wuliang is the responsible person. Zhou Jianxiong and the other three have nothing to do with this matter. He is unwilling to involve them and has to give the blacksmith shop to them for a living. Who is like you, at a young age, can you be so vicious?"
Xu Huai ignored Liu Qiong'er's complaints.
He peeked out through the gap of the door and could only see a small section of the tunnel facing the courtyard gate. He wanted to install two Feng Shui bronze mirrors on the courtyard wall directly opposite, and to tilt the left and right angles, and then hide behind the courtyard gate to see the movements in the tunnels on both sides.
Xu Huai told Liu Qiong'er about this, and Liu Qiong'er also leaned over and saw through the gap. She felt that something was reasonable and said, "When Madam Zhou and Madam Xu come back, I will ask her to buy two more bronze mirrors."
Xu Huai was wandering around the yard, thinking about how he would use the terrain in the yard to deal with the assassins who broke in. Liu Qiong'er also went around with him for no reason.
Xu Huai told her any ideas and arrangements, and told her how she would hide and deal with the assassin when he forced himself in.
Liu Qiong'er asked curiously: "If you are not stupid, I can still believe it, but you are really only sixteen years old. How do you know these things?"
"I was confused when I was young, but after I gradually understood some things, many things were known for their own sake. I must ask something, maybe this is what I know in life!" Xu Huai said lightly.
"Hmph!" Liu Qiong'er couldn't stand Xu Huai's attitude, so she snorted disdainfully, and then said, "Xu Wuliang is responsible and does not want to involve Zhou Jianxiong's irrelevant three people, but I think these three people should not be too bad, and they have a lot of favors from Xu Wuliang and have the courage to do so. You still have to find a way to drag them in too, so we have enough hands."
"Who said I was vicious just now?" Xu Huai asked as he looked at Liu Qiong'er.
Zhou Jianxiong and the other three were young and Li Jian, so Xu Huai naturally saw it, but now he is eager to pull Zhou Jianxiong and others in. The effect is likely to be the same as telling Xu Wujiang the facts at this time, Xu Xin'an and the others, and he will only make him unable to take over the subsequent arrangements.
If the situation was not so bizarre and dangerous, Xu Huai was really unintentionally rushing to stand out in everything. For Xu Wujiang, Xu Wuliang and others to stand in front of him, he was happy and leisurely. What's wrong with it?
But for now, he would rather believe in his own judgment.

The situation is critical, but Xu Wuliang does not delay it.
He rushed to the Tang family warehouse with the money to pay off his debts, and then called Zhou Jianxiong and others to give the blacksmith shop. At noon, he hired a ox cart, brought all the necessary belongings, and rushed to Tieshi Lane with his wife and daughter.
The assassin's affairs are the most confidential and cannot be disclosed in half. Xu Wuliang only told his wife and daughter that he was selling himself to Qinzhai for ten years, and he received 200 silver to pay off the Tang family's debts.
The debts in the past have been so heavy that his family has been breathless for two or three years. Xu Wuliang’s wife is not at all resistant to selling her body and working; this may be their best choice at the moment, not to mention that she also includes food and accommodation.
Xu Wuliang's wife felt that her man was still useful, so she pulled her daughter Xiaohuan over and stood in front of Liu Qiong'er and said stutteringly: "Xiaohuan is here to send food and can help with something. Please give me instructions, but it's not about selling herself. If you find your in-laws in two years, please ask the girl to let her marry..."
"This is for sure." Liu Qiong'er responded.
Xu Huai pretended to be stupid and stood aside without saying a word. He saw that Xiaobianmai Wang Xuan was young, thin and lonely, but his facial features were upright.
However, Xiaohuan was malnourished and his eyes were full of fear, as if he was worried that a bad fate was waiting for her. Of course, there would be no such thing as Wang Xuan as the clear water, and it could not be compared with Liu Qiong'er, who was charming and beautiful.
"You are talking about this, why don't you go and help clean up the back yard!"
Xu Wuliang urged his wife to take her daughter to the house to settle down. When there was no idle person here, he untied a big bag wrapped in burlap in the house.
In addition to two straight-ridge long knives, two short blades, and one long bow that unbuttons the bowstring, there are also some fragmented leather.
"Wow, how can you have these good things?"
Xu Huai picked up the leather about a width of 100 feet, but it was a piece of old armor. As long as he connected it with cowhide ropes and rivets, it would be a half-body leather armor.
"This leather armor only protects half of the body, and this long bow is brought back from Jingshengjun. Over the past few years, no matter how carefully preserved it, the bow is a bit bad. If you put on a new string, you can be slightly stronger than the hunting bow in the mountains," Xu Wuliang said with a lot of emotion. "These long and short knives have been built by some good irons I have personally accumulated over the years, so I should take advantage of it!"
In the world, the longbows that have been kept private for more than ten years are inevitable. Bakelite wrapping threads are aging and cracking. It is also slightly stronger than hunting bows. Xu Wuliang knows how to build and maintain some crossbows; otherwise, this bow would have been abandoned long ago.
Xu Huai took a thick burlap and wrapped the longbow up and said, "I will take this bow to the military camp to see if it can be transformed into a trick and come back!"
There are more than a hundred martial soldiers in the inspection department, but there are still a few good bows.
The State Military and Horse Commission’s Supervision Office will conduct a count of the armor and equipment of the inspection departments of the county every once in a while, and the focus of the inspection of the armor and equipment of the hard bows and armor and equipment.
However, it is not difficult to get an old bow that looks the same, add a little more than a jin of money and exchange it for a good bow; this is how many hard bows in Tongbai Mountain come from.
Xu Huai is the most greedy for those two straight-spine long swords now.
The knife in his hand was borrowed from Xu Sihu and never returned, but it was a very ordinary standard horizontal knife.
This kind of knife is easy to curl, so it won’t be mentioned. The brittle spine and lack of toughness are the biggest disadvantages.
However, the heavyest slash of the python sword is required to exert the ultimate power of a heavy weapon like the Mo Dao.
There is no good knife. If Xu Huai is so angry when he encounters an enemy, he will slash and slash twice, and the blade is broken into two pieces, who will he cry?
The two straight-ridge long swords, looking at the blade body a few inches longer than the standard horizontal sword, the body is thicker and the sharp blade is sharp. You can tell that Xu Wuliang is tailor-made for military formation techniques such as heavy slashing and slashing. Then look at the blade's clear light and the fine forged flower scale pattern on the blade body is full of magical beauty.
Xu Huai picked up one of the long swords and felt that it was twice as heavy as the iron-like broken sword before. He casually put out the sword flowers and forced them out in a cold manner. He felt that the good sword was in his hand, and the same magical power of the python-subduing sword technique was much stronger than the previous inferior sword.
During this period, Xu Huai used the python fist as the basis and spent more time on knife skills. When seeing this good knife, how could he not be happy when seeing a beauty?
"Your scabbard mount is slightly shallow and narrow. You can install this knife after a little change!" Xu Wuliang handed over the blacksmith shop to Zhou Jianxiong and others for repair, but he brought a set of tools to build the knife. He immediately helped Xu Huai change the scabbard so that he could install a new knife.

In the afternoon, Xu Wuliang's wife rushed back to the blacksmith shop, and there were still some fragments that needed to be cleaned up. When she returned to Tieshi Lane, she asked Zhou Jianxiong and others to help put the fragments into bamboo baskets and carry them with a shoulder pole, saving the money to hire a ox cart.
Zhou Jianxiong said that at noon, two others ran to the blacksmith shop to look around. They must have been sent by the Tang family's warehouse, and they were asked to send them away.
Xu Wuliang did not want to involve Zhou Jianxiong and the others, and blamed his wife for calling people indiscriminately, so he asked Zhou Jianxiong and the others to put down their things, urging them to rush back to pack up the blacksmith shop, so as not to cut off their livelihoods.
Xu Wuliang's wife's surname is Ge. Xu Huai called her aunt Ying since childhood. Xu Wuliang blamed her and tidied up the things and walked to the backyard with an unhappy face.
Xu Huai closed the courtyard gate and said to Xu Wuliang and Liu Qiong'er:
"I have never tried to defend myself because others regard me as stupid. Look, this is the reason - I slap my head with the slap, but the Tang family will not doubt my head."
Xu Huai said this, but it was not a show-off. It was because Xu Wuliang had a disagreement with him when he was discussing the follow-up arrangements just now.
Xu Huai pulled Liu Qiong'er out of Yuehonglou with the purpose of attracting the assassins to Huaiyuan Town to spy on the truth and the truth. They were ambushed and killed by "yellow birds behind".
The difference between Xu Wuliang and Xu Huai is to insist that he be the "yellow bird" and let Xu Huai stay by Liu Qiong'er just in case.
Xu Wuliang was so persistent that he didn't want Xu Huai to take on the most dangerous part, but Xu Huai knew in his heart that he was the most easily overlooked by the assassins, and he was more likely to succeed while the enemy was out of mind.
"Uncle Wu Liang, you have to believe that the timing is wrong and I am not sure. I will not take action at will. Instead, I will stay in this yard and fight the assassin forcing him to come in at any time, but he has no choice but to retreat, which is even more dangerous." Xu Huai can only patiently persuade Xu Wuliang.
"Xu Huai wants to run in Tieshi Lane and military camps. Xu Jie'er may still be acceptable, but if Xu Huai is asked to stay in Tieshi Lane day and night, Xu Jie'er may have to stop him..." Liu Qiong'er said with help.
Selling oneself as a slave, even the kind of living contract that can be redeemed is different from hiring a tutor.
Many things cannot be clearly identified now. Xu Wujiang and Su Di cannot accept Xu Huai’s “selling himself” to Liu Qiong’er.
Xu Wuliang pondered for a long time and finally accepted the arrangement that he and Liu Qiong'er were in the dark, while Xu Huai was in the dark...
