Moonlight and wind

The three of them stood around the large desk, looking at the man writing furiously in silence.

At this time, a young man wrapped in a cloak ran in from outside the door, "Young Master!" The man was Li, "Why are you here? I didn't see you on the street?"

"How's business?" Shan Zimo joked, "How many copies of Snowfall Sword Skills have you sold?"

"Don't mention it!" Li took off his cloak and put it on a chair beside him. "You think it's too expensive! You won't even pay a hundred taels, so why would you want to learn the secret manual?"

"You actually know how to invest in knowledge!" Shan Zimo touched Li's head.

"What's the big deal? As long as I can sell one copy, I'll sell it!" Li suddenly saw Master Zhiye standing beside him, "Master, you're back too!"

"My son, don't disturb your master!"

"No problem!" Li jumped to the big desk and sat down. "When my master was writing, even thunder could not be heard!"

The four people waited quietly for Yi-Yi to write the martial arts secret book. Finally, Yi-Yi put down his pen, closed the book, threw it aside, and fell on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a circle of people standing in front of the desk!

"Ouch!" He jumped up from the chair, "Master Zhiye! Young Master Shan! When did you come? Li, you little bastard, you didn't even say hello!" He raised his hand as if to hit Li.

"Okay, I came to Meiyeyou City to look for something today. I passed by your place and came to take a look." Master Zhiye came to sit at the tea table nearby, "There is one more thing I want you to see!"

"Master, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"Come and take a look at this!" Master Zhiye said as he took out the blueprint of Shan Tianxiao's dagger from his bag and spread it out, "Look, is there any room for improvement?" He picked up the blueprint and looked at it carefully.

"Since you are unwilling to forge a dagger for the leader of the Luohui Sect, what else is there to improve?" Shan Boyu muttered.

"You ignorant boy!" Master Zhiye gently scolded, "This blueprint is not enough for me to work hard on. If I really build it according to this blueprint, I will be embarrassed!"

"Master really has a discerning eye. There are still several places on this dagger that can be improved!" Yi Yanhui took the blueprint to the large desk, quickly traced a picture, and returned the original drawing to Master Zhiye. He picked up the pen and began to add some details.

"It's really ingenious!" Master Zhiye took one look at the improvements to the blueprint and praised them repeatedly, "In the past few years, you have made a lot of progress in weapons!"

"Well, I've seen a lot, so I naturally know more!" He smiled embarrassedly after taking a look.

"I have made several improvements to the design of this dagger," he pointed at his own blueprint, "This part is perfect for the hidden weapons of the Luohui Sect, and this side, infused with spirit snake poison, is perfect for unexpected sneak attacks, and is most suitable for the sinister style of that sect!"

"Master, I can tell that this dagger is made for the Luohui Sect just by looking at the blueprint!" Shan Zimo's admiration for Yi Ke Hui increased again.

"Isn't this simple? The main body of this dagger is the emblem of the Luohui Cult - the spirit snake!" He shrugged disapprovingly, "This Luohui Cult's spirit snake is several feet long, with scales covered with special patterns, as hard as iron; its head is abnormally large, its eyes are red like fire, and its fangs are long and slender, which is extremely weird!"

"Yi Yi Hui, your two improvements will increase the power of this dagger by at least 30 to 40 percent!" Master Zhiye put away his drawings and stuffed them into his bag. Then he fumbled in the bag for a while, took out a book and handed it to Yi Yi Hui.

"The Record of Zhuhua Jinshi!" The old man opened his eyes wide, "For me?"

"Yes! I wrote this. It contains the gold and stone I have excavated and collected over the past few decades, as well as the weapons that match them. You can't do me a favor today for nothing!"

"Master, I am so embarrassed! These are just my humble opinions!"

"Okay! Stop being polite!" Shan Zimo rolled his eyes, "Master, everything is ready, let's go!" For the first time, Shan Zimo left Meiyeyou City so happily. Maybe he was more concerned about the poison in his uncle's body!

Back at Xueying Hall, Shan Zimo sent Master Zhiye back to the thatched cottage, and the master locked himself in the forging room. Shan Zimo and the other man sat in the small yard and fed the donkey with grass. Along the way, the little donkey became much closer to Shan Zimo!

"Go back!" Doctor Qingyi next door waved his hand at Shan Zimo, "The old man has gone in to forge weapons, and he will not be out for at least a few days, so there is no need to wait here! By the way, I want to go down the mountain to practice medicine in the next few days, so I will just let the hall master and I know. Who can stand the clanging all day long!" After saying that, Doctor Qingyi pushed open the door and ran away like a gust of wind!

"Old but still strong!" Shan Zimo threw down some grass used to tease donkeys, took Shan Boyu out of the thatched cottage, and did not return to Longyin Garden, but went to the back mountain and walked towards Hanyu Lake.

In Wudu City, in Jinxiufang, several waves of people came to search, and without exception they left empty-handed.

But the imperial city was not peaceful! Princess Jinyu was in a rage, grabbing her father's beard and asking him to order the whole Wu Kingdom to capture Xuanyue!

"Wouldn't it be better if she didn't show up? Why bother looking for her?" Emperor Wu looked at Princess Jinyu lovingly.

"No! As long as she exists, she will be an obstacle between me and Shan Zimo!"

"How can you be sure that she and Shan Zimo are having an affair?" Empress Jing patted her daughter's head.

"Women's intuition!" Princess Jinyu was very sure.

"I thought you had some solid evidence!" Emperor Wu said with a smile, "I have a good impression of Shan Zimo. In addition, Shan Tianxiang, the head of the Snow Shadow Hall, has strict discipline. Shan Zimo dare not do anything bad to you. Don't worry! Don't bother me because of that girl from Quye City. My head is going to explode!"

"Mother! Look!" Princess Jinyu pulled Empress Jing and acted coquettishly.

"Okay, your father has said that you should stop making a fuss about this matter. Be careful not to let Shan Zimo think you are a jealous woman and lose the reputation of the royal family!" Seeing that Empress Jing was indeed angry, Princess Jinyu had no choice but to give up and left Fengyi Palace with a pout.

"Why is there no news at all?" Princess Jinyu asked Commander Yuan behind her after she left Fengyi Palace.

"Princess, there is indeed no news of Miss Qi leaving Wudu at any of the passes!"

"Have you checked carefully?"

"Princess, search every passing carriage and horse one by one, and make sure no one is missed!"

"So, that girl is still in Wudu?"

"Exactly!"

"How come we didn't find any of the gangs we searched in the capital?" Princess Jinyu frowned. "I'm afraid someone here didn't do their best! Give the order, if the girl surnamed Qi is not found within three days, let them go to the West Office to answer for their crimes!"

When Princess Jinyu mentioned the West Office, her eyes lit up. "Why not let someone from the West Office do it?"

"Princess, I'm afraid that's inappropriate!" Commander Yuan hurriedly stopped Princess Jinyu, "The Western Office only obeys the orders of Emperor Wu. First, you don't have the right to call on the Western Office, and second, the Western Office will not go out just to find someone for you!"

"But I have this!" Princess Jinyu took out a badge from her sleeve.

"Ah! Princess, how come you have the badge of the Western Office?"
