Mother, I have returned to the throne.

In the blacksmith shop.

As soon as Song Yuan crossed the front yard, he heard the sound of blacksmithing.

The scene was bustling just a second ago.

The next second, with the arrival of Song Yuan, everything changed completely.

"Your Highness, why are you here..."

Many blacksmiths gathered around immediately, with a hint of respect in their tone.

For these rough people, everything is inferior except craftsmanship.

The fact that these guys are so convinced of Song Yuan is enough to show the influence of Song Yuan's Damascus steel.

"How's the knife I told you to fight last time?"

Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and someone immediately came forward.

"Your Highness, the sword is ready!"

"You take a look first."

As the craftsman spoke, he handed the finished long sword to Song Yuan.

I saw that the blade of this knife was long and narrow, shaped like a sword.

But the blade is thick and heavy, and its length is several points longer than that of ordinary knives.

锔……

Song Yuan drew his sword from its sheath, and immediately heard a cold flashing sound in his ears.

"Good knife!"

As the designer of this sword, Song Yuan referred to the style of Tang sword.

It is natural to know how much damage such a knife can do on the battlefield.

"Reward, everyone, 30 taels of silver!"

Delighted, Song Yuan immediately made a promise.

Only he knew how much effort the person in front of him had put into making such a knife.

The casting of Tang swords was originally quite complicated because of the narrow and long blade.

Add to that the process of rotating Dama steel, and it is no exaggeration to say that the people in front of us must have stayed up for several sleepless nights to complete such a large workload.

Song Yuan will never be stingy with his subordinates.

While giving out the rewards, he also reminded everyone: "Go back and make a few more knives like this one."

Song Yuan was planning to arm his close associates.

The Tang sword is long and narrow, suitable for horse battles. It can definitely play the greatest role in border areas.

Back to reality, Song Yuan holds the sword in his hand.

The first thing he had to do was to go to the Zhenbei Palace to present the treasure to someone.

At noon.

Song Yuan arrived at the gate of Zhenbei Palace.

From a distance, I could see a lively scene.

There are only a dozen days left before Song Yuan and Situ Jing's wedding.

The palace was busy with arrangements.

Led by the servants, Song Yuan walked into the living room.

"What are you doing here?" At the dining table, many women in the palace gathered together and were having a meal.

Song Yuan's arrival immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Situ Jing stood up instantly, frowning and saying, "Your Highness the Prince is so busy with affairs of state, how come you still have the mood to come here today?"

"Ahem..." Song Yuan's prepared words were choked back by Situ Jing.

After a light cough, he adjusted himself and said, "I came here to tell you something. After the wedding, I will go to the border immediately. This matter has been decided now."

"I know!" Situ Jing nodded calmly.

His body began to tremble slightly.

From the moment Song Yuan became the center of the storm, he had already anticipated this outcome.

But now that I've heard it with my own ears, it's still a little hard for me to accept such an ending.

Thinking of the last point, he frowned and looked at Song Yuan again, and a nameless anger arose in his heart.

"You don't need to say more about this kind of thing in the future. Now that you've finished speaking, are you okay? If you're okay, hurry up and leave."

As he spoke, Situ Jing waved his hand.

Faced with this order to expel him, Song Yuan said shamelessly: "Don't worry, I came here this time not only to inform you of this matter, but also to give you a gift."

As he spoke, Song Yuan deliberately raised his shoulders.

The cowhide package on the back was exposed.

"This is..." Situ Jing stood up subconsciously, but the curiosity in her heart had just arisen when it was immediately dispelled by her previous anger.

"I don't care what you give me. I only have one request now. If you can get out of my sight as soon as possible, I will be praying to God."

"Ahem..." At this moment, my aunt Ye Xuan was sitting at the dinner table.

Noticing that Situ Jing was about to go berserk, he immediately coughed to warn her.

Mrs. Situ, who was standing by, did not express any opinion at all.

Eyes look at the nose, nose looks at the mouth, mouth looks at the heart.

It was as if all the trivial matters before him had nothing to do with him.

"Since you don't want it, I'll leave first. But I have something to say in advance. Don't accuse me, Song Yuan, of not keeping my promise later!"

Wait...promise?

Suddenly, Situ Jing realized: "Is this the knife you promised to give me?"

As she spoke, Situ Jing had already turned behind Song Yuan.

No... the length of this knife is far beyond my previous expectations.

Can such weapons really exert sufficient combat power?

The so-called weapons are not just made of iron.

More importantly, you also need to control the length and balance the blade.

At the same time, the weight and length of the weapon should also be appropriate to the person.

Generally speaking, the long swords used by women are naturally shorter than those used by men.

Now seeing Song Yuan's gift, Situ Jing's eyes showed a hint of perseverance.

"Such good steel is a bit wasted in your hands. You are an amateur after all. Do you think it is suitable for me to use such a long knife?"

"Don't worry!"

Song Yuan first said something to comfort him, and then he started to expose his lies.

In an instant, the Tang sword came into view.

Situ Jing was slightly stunned when he noticed the long and narrow blade.

It was the first time she had seen such a knife.

But Song Yuan was seen holding a knife in both hands, then turned around and gave instructions to Wang Chao and Ma Han behind him.

"Go and get the horse!"

As he spoke, accompanied by the horse's roar, Song Yuan had already flipped over and landed on the horse's back.

Accompanied by holding a long knife and waving it repeatedly.

The blade, which was originally a bit too long, turned out to be an advantage!

"what!"

Situ Jing's eyes lit up. As a member of the Zhenbei Palace, she naturally knew what was good.

Infantry combat was rare on the frontier, and most of the time, the enemy was fought on horseback.

Considering the environment, this knife is a sharp weapon!

At the same time, because the blade is long and narrow, the weight is also reduced.

This is simply a killer weapon on horseback that is tailor-made for me!

"Let me try!" As he spoke, Situ Jing had already stepped forward.

Just as Song Yuan turned over and got off the horse, he suddenly retracted his hand and avoided Situ Jing's action.

"Didn't you just say that you wouldn't care about anything I gave you?"

"Since you, Miss Situ, don't like it, Wang Chao and Ma Han, this knife will be left to you two to deal with!"

As he spoke, Song Yuan turned his back and held the long sword in his hand forward towards Wang Chao and Ma Han.

When Situ Jing saw this scene, her face was full of anxiety.

"Who said I don't want it?"

He subconsciously dodged and stood between the two sides.

At the same time, he turned around and threatened Wang Chao Mahan.

"This knife is mine. If you dare to snatch it, I must compete with you."

"I dare not, I dare not!" Wang Chao Ma Han suppressed his laughter and said seriously.

As he spoke, Situ Jing had already snatched the long sword from Song Yuan's hand.

Holding the scabbard, he gestured for a while.

The design of this Tang sword is quite unique.

In order to take the length into consideration, the scabbard has been specially treated and has a special fixation between it and the handle.

Normally, he would fight on land with a scabbard in hand.

Just like a stick, at the critical moment, the sword is drawn to reveal the murderous intent.

It’s definitely a killer weapon!

"Get on the horse and try it!"

Situ Jing became more and more delighted and jumped directly onto the horse's back.

He grabbed the reins and headed towards the backyard.

The long sword is on the horse's back, showing its sharpness.

Situ Jing danced with the Tang sword like a flower.

Song Yuan, who was standing by, saw it and kept it in mind.

This woman...this skill.

After getting married, I’m afraid you won’t dare to offend him at all?

Now, how can it be considered as getting a wife?

It's obvious that he invited an old lady back.

With this skill, even if the other party glares at you on your wedding night, you can only watch.

Even if I wanted to force myself on her, I don't have the courage!

"Good knife!"

Situ Jing roared, gripped the knife with both hands, and slashed with all his might.

A willow tree in the yard broke into two pieces with a loud noise.

hiss……

Song Yuan took a breath and his whole heart trembled.

If this knife fell on me...

"What's the name of this knife?" Situ Jing jumped off the horse, unable to let go of the Tang knife in his hand.

Song Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Why not call it Pingyi Knife?"

"Sword of the Pingyi, annihilate the barbarians, good, good!"

Situ Jing's heart was filled with joy and she praised the scene repeatedly. However, the mess left by her attack just now made Mrs. Situ furious.

"Look what you've done?"

Seeing his mother-in-law furious, Song Yuan found an opportunity to run away.

If it were before, he would have wanted to see Situ Jing make a fool of herself.

But after seeing Situ Jing's strength, Song Yuan was afraid that this girl would get angry and kill herself.

For the sake of his life, he naturally ran away.

But he didn't notice the deep look in his mother-in-law's eyes when he stepped over the threshold.

"Jing'er, starting tomorrow, you don't have to do anything. Just spend some time picking out a few people from the palace."

"From now on, you will be responsible for their training, especially horse fighting. You must familiarize yourself with it."

Madam Situ suddenly spoke and gave orders without turning her head.

When Situ Jing heard this, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"What? Are you planning to let Song Yuan go to the border alone after you marry him?" Madam Situ frowned and said, "I'll let you be in charge of training, so of course you'll ensure His Highness's safety when the time comes!"

"I...I and him..." When Situ Jing heard this, she felt a little resistance in her heart.

But then I thought, what if Song Yuan can't come back?

Do I have to be a widow like my mother and sister-in-law?

Seeing a hint of sadness between Situ Jing's brows, Mrs. Situ shook her head calmly.

If it were before, why would she care about Song Yuan's life or death?

However, after learning about Song Yuan's operations from Ye Xuan.

Madam Situ immediately decided to tie the fate of the entire palace to Song Yuan.

Go crazy with him!

Thinking of this decision, Mrs. Situ subconsciously raised her head and looked in the direction where Song Yuan left.

This kid… maybe this can work a miracle.

I hope that my choice this time is the right one.
