Seeing Liu Qi's awe-inspiring righteousness, Pu Yuan was moved in his heart. This is a benevolent and righteous teacher who cares about the safety of the people. Looking at the heavy iron chain, he felt a sense of regret for the first time. He hated God for not allowing him to meet the eldest son a few years earlier.
Where is Liu Qi?
Pu Yuan has realized the truth for many years. As a blacksmith, his mission in troubled times is to make many good weapons and kill many bad guys. In that case, the world will be peaceful.
"Young Master, please leave quickly." Pu Yuan closed his eyes, not daring to look at the thick iron chain that had locked him up and no one in the world could untie it. The thought of death was gradually floating around. In fact, Pu Yuan was now
I don't want to die.
Chen Wen knew that Liu Qi had made up his mind, so he would not let the villagers ignore him. He looked at the remaining thirty or so intact war horses, combed his beard and said in a deep voice: "Okay, my lord, let Brother Wu bring ten bronze-armored guard knights."
We mounted our war horses and went to the entrance of the village to prepare for the battle. General Wuwei and I went to the village to inform the people that the villagers were willing to follow us to Xinye and set off immediately. Those who did not want to go were given silver taels to avoid disaster and were dismissed."
Liu Qi looked resolute and said: "Okay, second brother, take away all the people in the village and try not to leave anyone behind."
"Yes." Chen Wen understood Liu Qi's thoughts. If there were people who did not go to Xinye, but stayed in Shu to avoid the chaos, they would be killed sooner or later when they returned to the village. This is how the young master put himself in the people's shoes.
"General Wuwei, let's go." Chen Wen called to Wuwei.
Wuwei hesitated, looked at Liu Qi and said, "Master, where is my master?"
Liu Qi said calmly: "Don't worry, General Wuwei. I have a way to take your master away. I'll hurry up and tell the people to pack some simple luggage with General Wen. Hurry."
"As ordered." Wuwei immediately entered the state of mind, and like Chen Wen, he respectfully addressed Liu Qi as general.
Wuwei turned around and took out a gong from the blacksmith shop, beat it with a drumstick, and shouted loudly: "Folks, come out quickly. The bandits who came just now have been wiped out by the officers and soldiers brought by the eldest son of Nanyang. The eldest son has spoken."
Okay, in order to prevent the soldiers and bandits from counterattack, those who are willing to go to Nanyang should quickly pack their bags and go together."
Wuwei knocked the gong, but it had little effect. No one dared to open the door and came out, treating Wuwei's words as child's play.
Pu Yuan was so anxious that he stamped his feet and sighed: "I have nothing to say but my words are trivial. If I don't speak out, the villagers won't listen."
Seeing the opportunity coming, Liu Qi caught up and said, "It depends on the situation. Is it true that only Senior Brother Pu goes to Xinye and the villagers will follow him?"
Pu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Exactly."
Liu Qi smiled and said: "For the safety of the villagers, please ask Brother Pu to take the villagers to Xinye with us."
Pu Yuan smiled bitterly, shook the big iron chain on his feet, and said helplessly: "Master, I am trapped in a cocoon. I want to take the people to escape. Do you think I can still go like this?"
Liu Qi was waiting for Pu Yuan's words and laughed: "Senior Brother Pu, in my eyes, there is no obstacle in the world that is insurmountable. As long as Senior Brother Pu wants to leave, he can do it."
Pu Yuancai didn't believe Liu Qi's lies. He forged this thick chain and melted the keyhole of the big iron lock in order to set a trap for himself and never regret it. The iron tools he forged were the best in the world.
No sword or sword can cut through the iron chain.
Liu Qi met Pu Yuan's suspicious gaze, from laughing to smiling, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Pu, take a look." After saying that, he took two steps forward to the iron lock, and with lightning speed, he jumped from his waist.
He pulled out the Yue King Goujian's sword from the wooden scabbard he was wearing. Seeing a flash of cold light, Liu Qi squatted down and swung his sword at the iron lock. There was a crisp click, and the lock was cut into two, and the iron chain was also cut.
Divided into two, the iron lock was released and Pu Yuan was freed.
Pu Yuan seemed to have forgotten that he had been freed from the death chain, but he stared at the Yue King Goujian Sword in Liu Qi's hand. He was stunned for a while, and then shouted: "What a sword."
The iron chain was broken. Liu Qi turned around two steps and easily cut off one end of the iron chain holding Pu Yuan's ankle, freeing Pu Yuan.
Pu Yuan was rescued again, and he admired Liu Qi so much that he bowed his hand to Liu Qi, changed his title, and said hurriedly: "My lord, I will not thank you for your kindness. I will go to the village to persuade the villagers."
"Okay." Liu Qi and Huang Wudie looked at each other and smiled.
Since Pu Yuan decided to defect to the young master Liu Qi, he would spare no effort to take all the people away. Pu Yuan took two steps and frowned: "My lord, there are still some young blacksmiths in the village who have gone to the village and will not come back until evening. Wait.
Don’t wait?”
Liu Qi did not hesitate at all: "During the day, I asked my second brother and General Wu to escort Wuwei and the villagers to leave first and meet at Jiange. Senior Brother Pu and I stayed behind to wait for the blacksmith who returned to the village at night."
"Okay." Pu Yuan finally showed a pleased smile. Young Master Liu Qi was indeed a man who promised a lot of money. He did not even care about his own safety and did not leave a single villager safe from the disaster of soldiers and bandits.
Pu Yuan quickly ran to the village and worked with Wuwei to mobilize the villagers to leave their hometown. With Pu Yuan personally coming forward, it is estimated that most of the villagers will follow Liu Qi to Xinye for their own safety.
"Huan'er, get some paper and pen." Liu Qi ordered. Huan'er took out the small wolf pen from another small bag, took out the ink bottle that had been ground and filled it in advance, and displayed a piece of rice paper and spread it on the spot.
Without thinking, Liu Qi made a few strokes in one stroke, which meant that he had invited the sword god for his trip to Yizhou. He was afraid of encountering obstacles on the way, so he ordered Jiang Wan to ask Zhao Yun to quickly lead a hundred unicorn troops to the 100-meter cliff entering Shu. They were ready to be dispatched at any time.
.
After writing the acceptance letter, Liu Qi gave it to Huang Wudie to tie up the letter and release the carrier pigeon.
Liu Qi called Huang Wudie, Huan'er and his bodyguard to ride on the unkilled war horses to the village, and the remaining ten war horses were also taken to the entrance of the village.
Chen Wu and ten bronze-armored guards were already standing guard majestically on their war horses, while Pu Yuan and Wuwei had mobilized many people to the entrance of the village.
Chen Wen walked towards Liu Qi and said with concern: "My lord, according to the sword god Pu Yuan, nearly two hundred old, weak, women and children in the village have been taken away. They are moving slowly and there are signs of migration. This may attract the attention of the governor of Jinguan City."
Liu Yan's vigilance, if Liu Yan raises troops to investigate the crime, it will be worse than disaster."
After inviting the Sword God Pu Yuan to achieve his goal, Liu Qi became calm and said disapprovingly: "Then let's leave part of the way first in twos and threes. The people don't need to bring anything with them. Just like usual, our people will be sandwiched in the middle to protect them."
, so as not to alert Liu Yan, Senior Brother Pu and I are waiting for the young blacksmiths in the village."
"It's okay, but I hope nothing will happen." In Shu, Liu Yan's territory, Chen Wen couldn't think of a better way for a while.
Liu Qi thought for a while and then said: "The second brother is responsible for taking the people to the Jiange, and let General Wu, Wudie, Huan'er, and bronze-armored guards secretly guard them."
Chen Wenque said: "Master, I'll stay here tonight."
Liu Qi said: "I can rest assured that my second brother will lead the people away. I will leave Mr. Huang here, and the four guards will be there in spring, summer, autumn and winter. You and Wuwei will go first. Senior Brother Pu and I will leave in the evening after the blacksmiths have arrived."
"That's good." Seeing what Liu Qi had decided, Chen Wen had no choice but to abide by it. He gave Liu Qi a fist and said, "Lord, take care." Without looking back, he rushed into the crowd of people to arrange the transfer during the day.
Everyone has a sense of self-preservation. The villagers know very well that staying here is a dead end. Although they don’t want to leave their hometown, there is always a way to survive. What’s more, even Blacksmith Pu came to mobilize himself. I heard that the officers and soldiers of Nanyang turned out to be today’s
The descendants of King Lu Gong, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, defected to the imperial relatives, and from then on the whole family also joined the family.
The work of persuasion is not difficult. The villagers also heard that Xinye is a paradise, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are like a fairyland. The people naturally yearn for it. Under Chen Wen's explanation and mobilization, the villagers are very poor and have nothing to bring. According to Chen Wen's strategy, every day
A few hundred meters apart, small groups of twos and threes were supporting the elderly and children, chatting and laughing, pretending to be visiting relatives, and no one would suspect them.
After Chen Wen and Chen Wu left with the people in the village, only Liu Qi, Huang Xu, the four generals of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the sword god Pu Yuan were left in the village waiting for dark.
After getting a dozen horses, he waited for the young blacksmiths from other villages to return after dark, and then walked at night to Jiange to meet Chen Wen.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Liu Qi asked Huang Xu to take Chen Chun and Chen Xiaer to remove the smoke from the stoves of several villagers, and asked Chen Qiu and Chen Dong to keep watch at both ends of the village, if they found any movement.
Respond promptly.
Disciple Wuwei and the villagers evacuated the village one after another under Liu Qi's arrangement, and Pu Yuan's heart was relieved. Judging from the various performances of the eldest son Liu Qi, they were remarkable.
For more than half an hour, Pu Yuan suddenly had an idea in his mind. He smiled strangely at Liu Qi and said, "What sword did your lord just make? I really want to see that there is such a good sword in the world that can cut off the iron chains and irons I made."
Lock, so hot?!"
Liu Qi smiled slightly, presented the sword, and said in a very sincere tone: "It is a good sword. It came into my hands by chance. If Senior Brother Pu likes it, I am willing to donate it."
Pu Yuan didn't express his position, he just smiled and said, "I'll just take a look."
Liu Qi respectfully handed over the Goujian Sword with both hands, and Pu Yuan also took it respectfully. He held the wooden scabbard in front of him and suddenly pulled out the sword. There was a flash of cold light, and the sword's aura was overwhelming.
Pu Yuan's sword was in his hand. He turned it over and over carefully and looked at it carefully. He was filled with admiration. He put the sword into its scabbard and handed it back to Liu Qi. "It is indeed the sword of the king."
Liu Qi refused, so he just gave him the Goujian sword. Just kidding, even if the sword god Pu Yuan took away this sword, would he still worry that Senior Brother Pu would not forge the best sword in the world in return?
Pu Yuan smiled slightly, pushed the sword into Liu Qi's hand, and said: "This sword of King Goujian of Yue has changed its owner several times. It is the best sword in the world. I am lucky enough to see the king's sword today. I will have no regrets in my life."
"The sword is given to the Sword God. Please accept this sword from Brother Pu." After Pu Yuan said this, Liu Qi really had the idea of giving this sword to the Sword God Pu Yuan. The sword is given to those who know swords.
Pu Yuan retracted his hands, turned his back behind his back, shook his head and said: "Only the king is qualified to wear the sword of the king." As he said that, he changed the subject and his expression became serious: "My lord, I have something to say.
Shouldn’t you say it?”
Liu Qi said: "Brother Pu, it's okay to just say it."
Pu Yuan blinked his eyes and said mysteriously: "Although this sword is good, it has a name. It was unearthed from the mausoleum. It is not the owner's property. If it is used for a long time, it will harm the owner!"
"Ah..." Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this. Although Liu Qi was not superstitious, what Pu Yuan said about using it for a long time to harm the master sounded extremely unpleasant!
