"By the way, the mountain owner won't mind if I give you more green bamboo, right?"
Li Heng looked at Mrs. Yang, who just shook her head. There are many of these things in Jianqi Mountain. It is said that it is more than enough to build a bamboo building or a palace.
Mrs. Yang was silent for a moment and then said, "Mr. Li, I have thought about Daliang's request over and over again, but I can't do it now."
This is the first time that Mrs. Yang has clearly rejected Li Heng in front of her. However, Li Heng did not seem to be disappointed as expected. He just looked at Mrs. Yang and said, "I knew this would be the result."
Mrs. Yang was a little surprised.
Li Heng said calmly, "It's too fast. It doesn't give Jianqi Mountain time to prepare, but it actually doesn't give Fang Wai time to accept it. If you really agree, will your life after Jianqi Mountain be easy? Of course not."
Yes, you have to consider the reputation of Jianqi Mountain and your situation. I can understand these things."
Mrs. Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your understanding."
"But those things will still be sent to Jianqi Mountain. You and I can't change His Majesty's will. Jianqi Mountain just accepts it. It's just that you have to show some kind of expression after accepting the things."
Li Heng took a step back, but this was something he had expected, so he couldn't say he was disappointed at all.
Mrs. Yang nodded, so that he would naturally accept it, "I wonder what Mr. Li wants?"
Li Heng shook his head and said with a smile, "The mountain master and I cannot discuss this matter. Someone else will talk to the mountain master. But the mountain master should remember that his decision is your majesty's decision, and he can represent your majesty."
Mrs. Yang was not a fool. She immediately thought of Chen Chao and asked with some confusion, "Mr. Li wants to hand over such a big matter to a young man?"
Li Heng shook his head thoughtfully and said softly, "It's not me, it's your Majesty."
Mrs. Yang stopped talking.
He knew the weight of the word "Your Majesty" very clearly, and he immediately thought that the previous imperial edict was also like this, and it was all for that young man.
There were so many young people in the Liang Dynasty, how many of them would the Emperor of Liang personally care about?
Li Heng smiled and said nothing.
After that, Mrs. Yang sent her halfway up the mountain. Li Heng then smiled and said, "Don't send it away. If the mountain master sends it away again, he will be said to have lost all his remaining strength. I don't want to embarrass the mountain master."
Mrs. Yang sighed and said, "It seems that things like integrity are of no use."
"If I lose all my spine, how can you live so well?" Li Heng snorted with some disdain, obviously not very satisfied with Mrs. Yang's words.
Mrs. Yang was silent.
However, Li Heng did not continue to embarrass the owner of Jianqi Mountain. Instead, he walked down the mountain. Not long after, he reached the foot of the mountain and found the carriage that had been waiting here for a long time. The man was sitting in the carriage.
In front of him, he glanced at Li Heng and said with some dissatisfaction, "I thought you would switch to sword-making in the future."
Li Heng casually said, "Aren't you always making swords?"
…
…
Mrs. Yang returned to the top of the mountain with a heavy heart. In front of the bamboo building, Chen Chao had returned here after cutting the green bamboo. This time he went to choose a green bamboo. He chose another one. There was a sound of wind when he touched it. He was very satisfied.
, after the old man saw it, he didn’t say anything. In fact, he is not as particular about using a sword as the Feijian sword cultivator, so there is far less need to be so particular about this aspect.
After seeing Mrs. Yang's arrival, Chen Chao, who was sitting on the chair, immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mountain Master, for your help. I hold the kindness in my heart. If you need help in the future, just let me know."
Mrs. Yang waved her hand and said with a smile, "Can't a thousand-year-old cold stone withstand these things? Commander Chen still has his heart."
Chen Chao said with a smile, "One code is another code, the kindness is there, and the younger generation dare not forget it. What's more, going up the mountain this time is not just as simple as forging knives. The other things I learned in the mountain are already what many people dream of."
Mrs. Yang sighed with emotion, "That was Commander Chen's opportunity. If someone else had come to Jianqi Mountain a hundred times, he might not have had this opportunity. In fact, there was no need to thank anyone, but Commander Chen had the intention.
If there is an opportunity in the future, I will trouble Commander Chen."
Chen Chao nodded and then pretended to be listening.
Mrs. Yang frowned and said, "Since we are talking about something, why don't you open your mouth and wait for me to speak first?"
Chen Chao laughed and said, "Juniors just know that when discussing business, you should talk less and watch more. Whoever talks more will be passive."
Mrs. Yang couldn't help but laugh, "You're such a sincere kid."
At this time, the title has changed from Commander Chen to your boy, which actually relaxes a lot.
"You know how difficult it is to do these things in Jianqi Mountain."
Mrs. Yang spoke first, which set the tone for this meeting. ??
If Chen Chao made any excessive demands, there would be no need to discuss them.
Chen Chaowei asked, "But if the senior doesn't give me a bottom line, how can the junior speak?"
Mrs. Yang smiled and said nothing.
What an old fox.
"Don't scold me in your heart. My thoughts are nothing compared to Mr. Li."
After all, Mrs. Yang can be considered a genius.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "Is that senior better at forging swords, or is it something else?"
Mrs. Yang said nothing.
Chen Chao sighed. They said he had a sharp mouth, but those things before were nothing compared to now. This was about what a dynasty wanted to accomplish, and he actually felt a lot of pressure.
Mrs. Yang still didn't speak.
Chen Chao said, "Anyway, Jianqi Mountain won't build weapons for Daliang, right? No matter what price Daliang pays?"
Mrs. Yang shook her head this time and joked, "Unless you still have a lot of thousand-year cold stones."
"Senior's thoughts are so beautiful."
Chen Chao said, "Then take a step back."
Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "Please tell me."
"Senior has been the mountain master for so many years. There are always people in the mountain.
Some confidants, could you first privately send some swordsmiths to the Shendu Ministry of Industry to design and build some ordnance? If that doesn’t work, could you send some who are willing to go to Shendu to teach the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry their skills? It was discovered later that,
It can be said that Jianqi Mountain has expelled him from Jianqi Mountain a long time ago, so this matter can be completely forgotten."
Chen Chao spoke slowly. These were things he had been thinking about since he knew he had to talk about them himself.
Mrs. Yang looked complicated and was about to speak.
Chen Chao shook his head and said, "Senior, don't be in a hurry to speak. Junior still has something to say."
Mrs. Yang looked at Chen Chao curiously this time.
Chen Chao did not speak in a hurry, but after thinking for a while, he said softly, "When I went up the mountain that day, I told you the name of the general. The disciples in front of the mountain gate didn't know."
Mrs. Yang was startled, and then said, "Everyone in the world knows that there is a great general in the north, but they don't know his real name. It's not a strange thing. He doesn't care even if he thinks about it."
Chen Chao solemnly said, "There are some things worth remembering. It's like a century-old sword from Jianqi Mountain. Everyone knows who took it away. But why has the general been stationed in the north for so many years and is willing to spend his whole life for the sake of the people of the world?"
In that world of ice and snow, don’t you deserve to have your name remembered?”
Mrs. Yang frowned slightly.
Chen Chao continued, "But it doesn't seem too much for the world to know that there is a general. But senior, in the entire northern border, there is not only one general, but also countless soldiers, living and dead. If we add up, isn't it?
Has it already passed the million mark?"
"Don't these millions of people deserve to have their names remembered?"
Chen Chao let out a breath, "If there were no demon clan, they could do many other things. They have wives, children, and relatives. Don't they want to live a good life with their relatives?"
"But why do they have to sacrifice their lives in that ice and snow for people they don't know at all and have no contact with at all?"
Chen Chao looked at Mrs. Yang and said seriously, "Senior, have you ever thought about this matter?"
Before Mrs. Yang could speak, Chen Chao continued, "The human race has never been just Daliang."
