Chapter 33: Suddenly a Madman Sharpens His Sword at Night
Chapter 33 Suddenly a madman sharpens his knife at night
"Since it belongs to both of us, how can you let your nephew work in vain? At least give him something to show his identity." Empress Xu said calmly.
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and found that the queen's eyes were staring at his waist. Zhu Di suddenly realized and took off a saber.
"There is no Shangfang sword, only a sword facing forward. You said you would give me a sword, and I will give you a sword in return. Continue."
Zhu Di said and threw it to Xu Jingchang. Xu Jingchang hurriedly reached out to catch it. The knife was quite weighty, with many gems inlaid on it, and there seemed to be some strange written spells.
Xu Jingchang didn't know it, but this is the Pasiba text, which is a protective spell to ward off disasters and prolong life.
"Jingchang, this sword was given to Your Majesty by Emperor Taizu. It is said that it was captured by Grandpa Qian in Peiping. It is a royal object in the Qianyuan Palace. This sword is much more useful than Shang Fang's sword. Whoever you encounter in the future
You're welcome, just take it out and kill people."
Queen Xu said with a smile.
Xu Jingchang became more and more surprised. It was passed down from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Di, and from Xuda to his own hands. It was passed down through two dynasties and two families. It was really mysterious.
He quickly thanked him, put on his saber, and said goodbye to Le Dian Dian.
Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, still followed Xu Jingchang closely. His eyes were burning, his teeth were gnashing, and he was extremely angry.
Xu Jingchang said: "If you think so, you are totally wrong. It is not me who is blocking you, but two other things."
…
"How's it going? Do you hear any clues?"
I thought that Xu Jingchang would get a beating, but in the end, the boy got away safely and even got a sword. And this sword was the treasure that he had begged for from his father several times but failed to get.
Zhu Gaoxu was so angry that he crushed the wine glass to pieces with his hands. His eyes widened with anger and he wanted to strangle Xu Jingchang to death.
"I understand! What I said to you, I have temporarily forgotten about the past."
Xu Jingchang thought for a while, but said: "You can't look at it this way, character and conduct. If a person is greedy for life and afraid of death, he will probably not refuse money and beauty. From what I just said, he often comes here to drink, which is different from the two of us.
.Such a person may not be afraid of death, he may have other plans."
The man raised his head and looked at the waiters and shopkeepers, only to find that these people had turned their heads and did not look at him, just standing there in silence.
While they were chatting, a thin middle-aged man came in at the door of the tavern. He was wearing a long robe, his eyebrows were lowered, and he just said lightly: "Have a half catty of wine."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, the King of Han, the two of us will bring people there tonight, and we may be able to make a great contribution."
"Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? Is he the Great Hun King who sailed on dry land?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Everyone in the world knows that Emperor Sui Yang is a foolish emperor, but they don't know that his previous operation of replacing his eldest brother as the crown prince is so wonderful. It can be called a textbook level. You should really find it and take a closer look. If you
If you have a little bit of brains, you won't get mixed up with those losers like Qiu Fu. Such people can't help you at all and will become a burden to you. They want to get more benefits from you, but they don't think about it.
What can I do for you?"
They did not go back to the General Affairs Department, but found a small tavern and asked for a seat at the back. The two of them sat down and ordered four side dishes and a pot of sake.
"Master Jing, I am a small shop with a small business. You used to come here all the time just to show us favor. Now we don't dare to entertain you. This pot of wine is a gift from me. Please move to another place in the future."
It’s not convenient for a small shop to serve you.”
"It's great! Good wine! The shopkeeper is loyal, and the business will definitely get better and better. I'm leaving."
Zhu Gaoxu frowned, thinking about Xu Jingchang's words. It seemed that he had not taken advantage of both. His father asked him to work hard, but it was unreliable no matter how he looked at it. His mother did not stand by him, and the boss's popularity was also...
Xu Jingchang hurriedly raised the knife in his hand, "Don't act recklessly. If you do it here, you will be in real trouble. In fact, I have a way that can really help you."
"you say!"
The shopkeeper was startled, and sighed: "In the early years, he was also a good official, making decisions for the people. Everyone respected him and called him Lord Qingtian. But a few days ago, I heard that he betrayed his trust and died for his country.
He died, and ended up living an ignoble existence, which is despicable. If people knew that he was being treated politely in the shop, someone would immediately smash the shop."
"Jingqing! It is said that he and Fang Xiaoru agreed to die for their country." Xu Jingchang whispered.
"Lost? I will give you twenty good horses!" Zhu Gaoxu said decisively, he will definitely not lose this bet.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was no more difficult for Zhu Gaoxu to suddenly realize than it was to make Lu Bu suddenly realize it in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms... Even though it was a side dish of turbid wine, Zhu Gaoxu still enjoyed it and felt that his whole person had been sublimated a lot.
"Then what if you lose?" Xu Jingchang said with a smile.
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "How about we make a bet?"
"What?"
Xu Jingchang nodded after hearing this, and came out with Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.
"Actually, in my heart, we are still cousins. I don't understand why you are so hostile to me?"
It seems that Xu Jingchang also felt Zhu Gaoxu's fierce gaze, but he was very calm. Didn't this give him a knife?
"Your Highness the King of Han, do you think we can have a chat?"
Xu Jingchang agreed neatly. Then he pretended to be half drunk, asked for another bottle of wine, and invited the shopkeeper to come over to toast him and chat.
Zhu Gaoxu's eyes widened angrily, "Xu Jingchang, why are you pretending to be stupid? You haven't hurt me badly enough? You ruined my life with just one sentence... How dare you pretend to be stupid with me now?"
"No." Zhu Gaoxu said honestly.
Why can't I get it despite my hard work and life and death, but this kid can get it at his fingertips?
Jealousy caused Zhu Gaoxu to twist and deform. He clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth, wanting to pounce on Xu Jingchang immediately and crush Xu Jingchang.
"Let's just say, let's use an analogy. There is a big family with three sons who all want to inherit the family property. The eldest son is uniquely blessed. He was born a few years earlier and took advantage. The second son wants to defeat the eldest brother. He needs two things. One is
The second reason for parents' preference is that the boss makes mistakes. Only when you are sure that your parents really like you more and don't like the boss can you take action. Moreover, the boss must keep making mistakes himself and be disgusted by others. Only then can there be any hope of success.
.By the way...do you know Emperor Sui Yang?"
After a while, the man laughed at himself and said: "Is the store out of wine? Or is he unwilling to sell it to me?"
"What's going on with Master Jing? I just want to have fun, there's nothing else."
"Just bet, if I win, give me the sword."
After saying that, he sat in a seat by the window.
"you!"
After saying this, the man walked away.
"make a deal!"
At this time, Xu Jingchang and Zhu Gaoxu were almost drunk. They were in the private seats, so Master Jing naturally didn't notice them.
At this time, the shopkeeper was silent for a moment, then came over tremblingly holding a pot of wine.
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment and finally nodded, "Okay."
"Your brain and cerebellum, your current symptoms are that your brain is not fully developed, and your cerebellum is not developed at all..."
This guy is really a tiger!
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, took the wine from the shopkeeper, raised his neck suddenly, and poured it into his mouth.
Zhu Gaoxu listened carefully and nodded silently. Indeed, he himself was in despair, and this group of people abandoned the secrets and turned to the bright side one after another, never to come again...
But after a while, no one brought the wine.
"This is social death!" Xu Jingchang sighed: "Like Fang Xiaoru, he would rather die than surrender in order to preserve his reputation and still have a place in the Shilin. But once abandoned by the Shilin, there will be no tavern from top to bottom.
Even if the shopkeeper despises him, this person will no longer be able to live in the world. Even if he still has an official title, who in this huge court will take him seriously?"
"As long as Jing Qing still has the slightest bit of bravery, he will not be willing to continue like this. There is a 80% chance that he will fight for his life."
Zhu Gaoxu said bluntly: "Martyred for his country? Didn't he live a good life? I remember that he surrendered early and asked for pardon. What the hell! He is basically a deceiver and a thief."
Zhu Gaoxu didn't believe Xu Jingchang, but this boy was indeed a bit crooked, and he couldn't really disobey his father, the emperor, and his mother and kill him.
As night fell, Jing Qing lived in a dilapidated courtyard, which was very shabby and somewhat inconsistent with his status as a censor.
During Jianwen's restructuring, he also followed Wang Mang's example and changed the names of official positions. Even the imperial censors who had been abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang returned.
Who can this unlucky kid learn from?
Around the second watch, there was the sound of Shasha sharpening knives in the wing room. Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although his status was embarrassing, he still had the opportunity to meet Zhu Di. All he had to do was tie the dagger to his calf and bring it into the palace. Then he would take advantage of the opportunity to congratulate the emperor.
, drawing the sword to kill him is enough to avenge his old master!
I, Jingqing, endure the humiliation and humiliation just for this moment!
He tied the knife and returned to the study. As soon as he opened the door, he found a burly young man sitting on the seat, looking at him with a smile, "Old thief, you are really a coward. It's a pity that I don't know how to do it."
