Spring and Autumn I Am King

"My father, Ou Yezi, was a master swordsman in the country of Yue. At first, he only cast bronze swords. He opened the mountain of Chijin and broke it out of tin; he also exhausted the stream of Ruoye, and it dried up and produced copper, and forged three large swords and small swords. Two: one is called Zhanlu; the other is called Chunjun; the third is called Shengxie; the fourth is called fish intestines; the fifth is called Juque..."

Zhao Wuxi looked at the 30-year-old woman with tattoos in the hall, she was indeed the famous Mo Xie!

In this era, this woman was far less famous than her father Ou Yezi and her husband's go-getter, but the story of Mo Xie, a go-getter in later generations, became a legend and spread widely, so Zhao Wuxi only heard of it. 【Full text read..】

While listening to Mo Xie telling his story, he asked, "You are from Yue, why did you bring your sword to Wu State?"

Mo Xie said in blunt Central Plains dialect: "Wu Yue fought fiercely. The Wu army conquered the Wuhu area and looted the craftsmen. My family had no choice but to go north with them. Except for Chunjun and Juque, who stayed abroad, my father brought the other three. Wu State. Because of his reputation, he was honored by King Liao of Wu as a guest and became the swordsmith of the royal family. It was at this time that he accepted my husband as his apprentice."

Talking about her husband, a smile appeared on her cold and stiff face, but it was fleeting.

Wu Xie asked: "Zhu Zhuan assassinated Wu Wangliao with a fish intestine sword. Does this have anything to do with you?"

Mo Xie shook his head and denied: "The fish intestine sword was described as an ominous sword by the swordsman Xue Zhu, saying that it is contrary to reason and cannot be obeyed. , and then gave it to Wu Wangliao, and Wu Wangliao gave it to Young Master Guang, which finally fulfilled the prophecy... But my family went to Wu into Chu, but it was related to Wang Liao's death."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"The prince of Wu State was ignorant, he killed Wang Liao to stand up for himself, and then he killed thousands of people to sacrifice his daughter. Introduced by the swordsman Fenghu, he carried Zhanlu Baojian into Chu... The commander of the Chu State also fabricated Zhanlu's entry into Chu for this reason, and the Chu State would prosper.

Without a shirt, Yin Zichang didn't think about how to consolidate the defense, but he worked **** these crooked ways. He deserved to be beaten by Wu Jun and almost perished. He touched the iron blade that Mo Xie had forged in the past few months, and asked, "Is the technique of forging iron and forging swords pioneered by Ou Yezi in Chu?"

Mo Xie said: "Of course, after entering Chu, my father and husband saw that there were many iron mountains in Chu, and they began to try to smelt iron and forge swords. They chiseled the Cishan, drained the stream, took Tieying, and made three iron swords: one Longyuan, Tai'a, and Gongbu were all famous swords of Wu and Chu at that time, and their performance was better than that of bronze swords."

"Since that's the case, you should be respected in Chu, why would you..." He glanced at Mo Xie, and then turned to the young man who was sitting more than ten steps behind her. He was only six or seven years old, and he should be the son of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, named Meijianchi. It is indeed the strange name of the people of Chu Yue.

"Why did you end up with this orphan and widowed mother going into exile again?"

"The general doesn't know anything..." Mo Xie's eyebrows flashed with anger.

"After my father's death, the court of Chu State was dark, and government orders were impermanent, and merits were not rewarded. Yin Zichang was insatiable greed, not only coveting Tang State's BMW, Cai State's beautiful jade, but also in the name of the King of Chu, asking my husband and wife to continue to forge iron for Chu State. sword."

"However, only my father can master this skill, and my husband has not studied it thoroughly, so I couldn't make it in three months. None of the swords that came out were as good as those three. Under Zichang's slander, the young and vigorous King of Chu was furious and ordered him again. My husband recasts it for a period of one year. If I can't get it again, I will die!"

Mo Xie remembered the hard days full of fireworks and sweat: "My husband has harvested the iron essence of the five mountains and the gold of the blood, and many times of smelting have ended in failure. The time is approaching the deadline given by the king of Chu, and it is still not a single sword. , I suddenly remembered what my father said before, 'Shining the body to become a thing'. So I cut off my hair and cut my claws and threw it into the furnace, and let three hundred virgins and boys drum up the charcoal. So I used them to forge swords, the Yang sword is called Gan Jiang, and the Y sword is called Mo Xie..."

"It turns out that this is the origin of Gan Jiang Mo Xiejian, I have heard of it, what happened after this?"

Mo Xie's eyes flashed with grief and anger: "When Gan forged Mo Xie's two swords, it just exceeded the time limit. I wanted my husband to present the two swords and ask for forgiveness, but my husband did not agree."

"Why?"

"At that time, when the State of Wu attacked Chu, the King of Chu suspected all Wu people, including our family. My husband also said that he had disobeyed Zichang many times. This j-phase would not let us go, and he might not be able to return after entering the palace to offer his sword. Giving one is death, and giving two is death, it is better to hide the Yang sword, and only offer the Y sword, I would rather die than let the ** of the J phase succeed!"

"I was several months pregnant at the time. My husband went to the palace to present a sword to attract the attention of outsiders, and I took the opportunity to escape from the workshop and hid in Yingdu. I learned later that the King of Chu was very happy to get the Moxie sword, but his son was very happy. Chang was not able to get the sword he wanted, and he was so ashamed and angry that he slandered and told the king of Chu to kill my husband, and the king of Chu agreed, and my husband was thrown directly into the hot sword furnace by the armored soldiers, and the bones were rotten..."

...

There was silence in the hall.

Mo Xie had already gritted his teeth when he said that, Zhao Wuxi was so sighed, and even Mu Xia, who was looking at the young man in the hall, was moved by it. As the saying goes, talented people are easily envied by the gods. Ou Yezi, Gan Jiang, and Mo Xie are the best in the world. Their wrought iron skills are a hundred years ahead of the entire era, but their life experiences are so tortuous.

After Gan Jiang died, the King of Chu and his son Chang Da Suo Ying both tried to find Mo Xie and Gan Jiang Jian, but she could only hide in every dark corner. It was also thanks to Tian Wu Jue Road. At that time, Wu Shi was entering Ying. Zi Chang was defeated by the Han River. He was killed by the chaotic soldiers during the flight, and the King of Chu fled the capital in a hurry. The Wu army broke through the city and plundered the city wantonly, and Mo Xie was able to slip out of Yingdu. She followed the fleeing Chu people out of the eastern border of the state of Chu and kept her name incognito between Huaiyi and Qunshu.

Their family only entered Chu in order to escape from King Wu Helu, so they were also hated by Wu State. Neither side of Wu Chu could defect. She opened a small shop for repairing copper and iron in the remote countryside and gave birth to her son. , brought up, and stayed for six years.

Zhao Wuxi knew what happened after that, Mo Xie and his mother were found by Xing Ao, who was wandering in Qunshu, looking for the ironsmith. Maybe Mo Xie felt that he was on the verge of being arrested, or maybe it was the clever Xing Ao who used some tricks to persuade them to travel thousands of miles to the north to join Zhao Wuxi.

The governance of the state of Wu was originally very loose, but after Wu Zixu, a great man in power, began to strictly manage the casters and forgers, and they were easily not allowed to go abroad. But Xing Ao has his own way. Wasn't he going to take Qu's private soldiers to Song country with his husband? Private soldiers can't be transported without luggage, and luggage can't be transported without the help of farmers and peasants, so Mo Xie's mother and son pretended to be the people who helped the Wu army transport the luggage...

The most dangerous place is the safest place, so Mo Xie is under Fuchai's eyes. He was handed over to Zhao Wuxi by Xing Ao to cross Haiti.

Zhao Wuxi was very happy. Xing Ao, who was just playing chess, entered Wu, but he brought such a big surprise to himself!

"This son has made great contributions!" He thanked his brother-in-law in his heart.

In Zhao Wuxi's eyes, Mo Xie was no less than a scientific father who created "two bombs and one star" in later generations. She saved Taoqiu's iron workshop by at least ten years. Even the detours of 20 years must be protected. Whether or not Wu Zun can enter the Iron Age depends entirely on her skills.

He smiled and said: "You have helped Taoqiu Tieguan to make wrought iron and iron weapons, and you have made great achievements. Once you have come, you can rest assured. I can let your mother and son live and work in peace in Lu, and you will have brocade clothes and jade food for a lifetime, but there are other requirements. ?"

"I have nothing to do..."

talking. Mo Xie suddenly stood up from the mat and walked slowly behind him. The guards on both sides of the hall hurriedly drew their swords, or held halberds to stop them, shouting, "Bold! Don't stop?"

"Don't panic." Zhao Wuxi waved his hand and asked the guards to return to their original places. Mo Xie just walked over and took the young son, took off the sword from his back, handed it over to Mu Xia, and asked him to dedicate it to Zhao Wuxi.

Mu Xia held the sword respectfully and placed it on the table in front of Zhao Wuxi. The sackcloth wrapped around the sword was undone circle by circle, revealing the true face of the sword.

For a time, everyone in the hall was stunned.

...

The swords forged by Ou Yezi's faction are not only of excellent quality. And it looks beautiful.

As the saying goes: If you want to know Longyuan, look at its shape, like climbing a mountain, like approaching an abyss; if you want to know Tai'a, look at its splendid wings. It is like the waves of running water; if you want to know the work of the cloth, you should start from the text and stop at the ridge. It is like a pearl that cannot be broken, and the text is like flowing water.

And this sword, shiny gray and white, is obviously an iron sword rather than a bronze sword. The sword is three and a half feet long, which is already long in this era. It is covered with crystal tortoise shell texture. It is similar to the Damascus pattern steel of later generations.

And its sharpness is the best in the world!

Its blade is like autumn frost, shining with cold light, and the blade is broken by blowing hair. It can cut copper and iron, cut gold and jade, and the three-layer leather armor is broken like a smash.

This sword is less than Zhao Wuxi's former saber, and it wins more than one step, and it is enough to say that it is a generational difference! One is a two-footed sword from the Bronze Age, and the other is a three-footed sword from the Iron Age! Compared with those standard iron swords that Mo Xie has forged in the past few months, it is also much better. If Zhao Wuxi guessed correctly, it is no longer an iron sword, but a carburized steel sword!

"The name of this sword is..." Zhao Wuxi saw the radiance in his eyes, beauties love rouge, heroes love swords, and when he touched this sword, he couldn't put it down.

Seeing the sword enter Zhao Wuxi's hands, Mo Xie's eyes were a little reluctant. This sword was the hard work of her husband. After his death, his soul seemed to be condensed. A little comfort. But what she sees is more determination and unforgettable hatred!

"General, this is the sword that my husband forged with his life."

Although he had already guessed it, Zhao Wuxi's hand trembled slightly.

Able Sword! It turns out that this is the go-getter sword that later generations have been searching for, but do not know the end!

In his previous life, he also liked to look at the photos and restored pictures of these pre-Qin ancient swords, and he had heard a little poem whose author was unknown.

Jin and Wu cast bronze soldiers, the flames are cold and frosty.

Where Ji Zi hangs his sword, the princes look to the north.

The five tyrants produced seven heroes, and Zhan Lu was right on the fish intestines.

Tai Ah who holds it backwards, the giant towers will collapse.

The most angry is Long Yuan, and Chi Xiao is busy cutting snakes.

Is the cadre safe today? Shaoyu alone is brilliant.

Is the cadre safe today? Able Sword, here! In the hands of Zhao Wuxi!

In this era, which hero doesn't like swords, and doesn't want to have one or two "magic soldiers" in his hand? The King of Chu had Zhanlu, Longyuan, and Gongbu; Uncle Qin received Tai'a as a gift for helping Chu; the King of Wu had Yuchang and Shengxie; the King of Yue had Chunjun and Juque. Zhao Wuxi sent away "Shaojiao" last year, but now he has ushered in a "go-getter", and he couldn't help feeling very proud.

Mo Xie took the opportunity and said earnestly: "I, Mo Xie, want to dedicate this sword to the general!"

"Dedicated to me?"

Zhao Wuxi could see that Mo Xie is a person with her own ideas. She must have a purpose in coming to Lu Kingdom. She worked hard to forge a sword for him before, not to mention, and now she offers a peerless sword made with her life. What is her intention? for?

Thinking of this, his excitement was fleeting. He touched the cold body of the sword and warned himself: "The so-called divine weapon is just a rare carburized steel sword..."

He calmed down~www.wuxiahere.com~ put the "go-getter" back on the table lightly, and said, "I've accepted your kindness, but there is a saying in Zhongxia that no merit is not rewarded, if you want what have I done?"

Mo Xie couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that Zhao Wuxi had obtained the peerless sword, and he was still so calm and had the appearance of a hero, but he couldn't care less about it now.

She took her son and walked quickly, and stopped ten steps away from Zhao Wuxi. The two bowed their heads and said, "I only have one request. Although Zichang is dead, the King of Chu is still alive! Help my mother and son get revenge! Kill the Chu King Xiong Zhen!"
