A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

Facing the enthusiasm of the general, Li Yi smiled: "Aren't I afraid that my father will say something about me?"

"You will be filial when you enter, and you will be disobedient when you go out. Have you changed to Confucianism?"

Gan Jiang made a joke, then raised his hand to hit Li Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen you for three years, but you are half a head taller than me."

Li Yi smiled and then started chatting with him.

It didn't take long for Li Yi to figure out the situation.

Ganjiang learned sword-making from Ou Yezi when he was very young.

He is an abandoned baby adopted by Ou Yezi. He has followed Ou Yezi to the Xu family many times since he was a child.

Because he is three years older than Xu Qing, he and Xu Qing are considered brothers and have a good relationship.

The last time they met was at the wedding banquet of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie three years ago.

Information at this time was extremely underdeveloped, and once separated, it would be difficult to hear from them again.

Therefore, Ganjiang was very happy after seeing Xu Qing again.

We haven’t seen each other for three years, and he has a lot to say.

Li Yi just listened silently and sorted out a lot of useful information.

The general told him that he had been busy forging swords for the King of Chu in the past three years, and just before setting off this time, the two swords were completed.

When he talked about these two swords, he looked very proud and his eyes were shining.

He said that these two swords were swords that he and his wife Moyeji had learned and forged throughout their lives, so they planned to name the two swords after themselves.

After Ou Yezi admired these two swords, he also said to him and his wife: "Your sword-making skills are complete, and I have nothing to teach you anymore."

However, while listening to his talk, Li Yi felt a little strange.

The two famous swords of Gan Jiang Moye are no less recorded in history books than the famous swords forged by Ou Yezi.

However, different historical books have different reasons and processes for the casting of these two swords.

"Wuyue Chunqiu" records that King Helu of Wu asked generals to cast two famous swords.

But what is recorded in "Sou Shen Ji" is that the general Mo Xie made a sword for the King of Chu, and it took three years to complete it.

Judging from what Gan Jiang said, the current situation should be the latter.

But according to the book, Gan Jiang was killed after presenting his sword to the King of Chu.

In other words, the general may die after returning this time.

After realizing this, Li Yi couldn't help but fell into confusion.

Since he has predicted the death date of Gan Jiang, should he remind Gan Jiang?

For a moment, he was a little undecided.

Gan Jiang didn't notice anything unusual about him and was still chatting with him.

Li Yi just listened silently, but he kept thinking in his heart.

It doesn't make much difference to him whether he saves the general or not. What he cares about is whether the task in this dream space has anything to do with saving the general?

Having just arrived here, Li Yi was still unclear about the situation and did not make a hasty conclusion.

Ou Yezi and his party have just arrived at Xu's house and will not leave for a while.

So, in the next ten days, Li Yi kept asking for useful information, and finally pieced together a complete information chain.

The day before Ou Yezi and his party were about to say goodbye, Li Yi called out the general alone.

"Brother Qing, why did you call me out?"

Ganjiang had no doubt that he was there, and after he came out with Li Yi, he asked curiously.

Li Yi looked at him and said directly: "Brother Ganjiang, I have something that I am unhappy with. If you believe me, please listen to me."

Seeing that Li Yi was serious, the general also became serious, nodded and said solemnly: "Young brother, please speak frankly."

"After returning home this time, Brother Qianjiang offered a sword to the King of Chu. This act is very dangerous but has little chance of success. Please think twice, Brother Qianjiang!"

Li Yi's straightforward words immediately stunned the general.

"Why did Qingdi say this?"

The general was puzzled: "The swords of General Mo Xie were forged by the king of Chu and I. If they don't suit your wishes, there is absolutely no reason to kill me!"

Naturally, the information he has access to is no more than that of a later generation like Li Yi.

So, Li Yi patiently explained to him: "It is said in the world that the King of Chu indulges in lewdness and extravagance and does not care about the affairs of the country, but as a king, there is no one who does not value the country.

The former kings of Chu joined forces to resist Qin, destroyed the Yue Kingdom, and expanded the territory east of the Yangtze River, which was a successful precedent.

In my opinion, the King of Chu wanted to imitate the methods of the previous kings, implement the policy of hiding one's strength and biding time, and combining vertical and horizontal forces to compete with the Qin State.

The King of Chu ordered you and your wife to forge swords, but it was actually to win over cousin Ou Ye.

The original intention of wooing cousin Ou Ye was actually to secretly connect with our country, Zhao, to discuss a joint strategy to resist Qin.

But you and I, Cousin Ouye, didn't understand the deeper meaning. We just thought that King Chu only wanted the sword. This was far from King Chu's original intention, so King Chu was naturally displeased.

Now that you offer your sword and go away, the King of Chu will definitely be angry with you.

In my opinion, it would be better for Brother Qianjiang to stay with my cousin in my Xu family, at least to save his life. "

After listening to Li Yi's analysis, the general didn't say anything for a long time.

His brain capacity is not very big, and it took him a stick of incense just to digest these words.

After pacing for a long time, Gan Jiang finally digested everything Li Yi said.

He raised his head to look at Li Yi again, his expression was serious: "I am the one who made the sword. Since I was entrusted by others to forge the sword, I should return the sword and return. This is my faith."

Hearing what he said, Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

People in this period are indeed like this, stubborn.

He wanted to persuade him again, but Gan Jiang took the first step and held his shoulders.

"Young brother."

Ganjiang said seriously: "I know you have good intentions for me, but if you live in this world without faith, what will you do to pigs and dogs? I have made up my mind, young brother, there is no need to say anything."

Seeing his serious face, Li Yi was helpless.

Is this what you call a damned ghost who can't persuade you easily?

But once a person like a go-getter makes a decision, there is no way that Nine Bulls can pull him back.

Therefore, Li Yi could only pat him on the shoulder and say, "Blessings for yourself."

The next day, Ganjiang embarked on the road home together with Ou Yezi and his wife Moye.

Before leaving, Gan Jiang found Li Yi and had a few words with Li Yi in private.

He said that after returning this time, he would go alone to present the sword to the King of Chu.

And he will only bring the Moye Sword. If the King of Chu is kind, he will give the Qianjiang Sword to the King of Chu.

If the King of Chu kills him, then the Ganjiang Sword will be passed on to his unborn child.

He begged Li Yi that if something unexpected happened to him, he hoped that Li Yi could take care of his wife and children as much as possible and not let outsiders bully him.

Moye is Xu Qing's cousin, so she should be taken care of, so Li Yi will not refuse.

But looking at their leaving figures, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh.

Isn’t it good to live well? My wife and children are on the hot bed, so I have to pursue the so-called faith?

Recalling Liu Yifei's face in reality, Li Yi thought to himself, if he encountered this situation, would there be anything he would have to do to leave his wife and children behind?

After thinking for a long time, he really didn't expect anything to be more important than his family.

Liu Yifei should still be sleeping soundly in his arms right now, right?

Li Yi looked up at the sun above his head and counted the days.

I don’t know how long I have to stay here before I can return to reality.

Take your time!

Li Yi sighed softly, turned around and entered the courtyard.

…

Time flies, and I don’t know how long it has passed before Li Yi appears again in the space of the Eight-Sided Monument.

Li Yi opened his eyes suddenly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

After seeing the eight-sided monument in front of him clearly, he woke up as if from a dream and exhaled a long breath.
