world weapon

Han Que was playing with a sword.The sword is two feet seven inches long and two inches wide, the whole body is black and has not yet been sharpened.

The master gave him a piece of iron, and promised that if he finished the sword, he would be able to become a teacher, and he would be able to receive the ceremony from the master - 100 taels of silver and a blacksmith's shop.

For the sake of his mother who is sick at home, and his own life, he must succeed.

The stove rang loudly, and Han Que couldn't help pulling the bellows, and the sweat flowed from his cheeks to his chin, and then dripped down to his collarbone.He usually wears a coarse bunt, which is now drenched with sweat.

After the last process was completed, the sword lay quietly on the table and it was finished.Han Que wrapped the sword in an old dress, held it in his arms, and went out to his master's house under the moonlight.

The master's name is Wei Cheng, and ten years ago he opened a blacksmith's shop in the imperial capital, selling agricultural tools and jewelry.Ten years ago, the imperial court banned the private ownership of weapons, and the income of blacksmiths plummeted, so it was only slowly opened up in the past two years.

When he arrived at the master's house, Han Que found that the master had put on a new dress uncharacteristically and was sitting on the couch.Han Que saluted his master and presented the sword.

Wei Cheng used his three-fingered right hand to lift the clothes wrapped around the sword, and when he saw the sword, he showed an indescribably complicated expression.He put the sword under the lamp and watched it carefully.

Han Que asked: "Master, why do you want to fight with a sword?"

Wei Cheng replied: "My craftsmanship cannot be lost."

Han Que said no more.This side Wei Cheng finished looking at the sword, and threw a bag of silver and a land deed to Han Que.

Han Que said, "Thank you, Master."

Wei Cheng said, "You go home first."

Han Que said, "Yes."

Han Que walked out the door, stood in the yard and turned around to look around. The candlelight reflected a figure with a sword in the window.

This made him feel a little dazed. Tonight's master gave him a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was.

When Han Que returned home, his mother dragged his sick body and cooked him a bowl of noodles in clear soup.

Han Que lowered his head and ate the noodles with a huff.

According to his mother, he was born in the countryside of Jeju, Winguk 18 years ago.There was a famine in Xuan and Ji states that year, and many people died of starvation, including Han Que's four older sisters.Han's father took out a tube of bamboo sticks and asked Han's mother to throw them. If the long ones take Han Que to flee famine, if the short ones leave him to fend for themselves.

Han's mother didn't say anything, and broke all the bamboo sticks directly, so Han's father pulled up the cart and took his wife and children south to the imperial capital.

When we arrived at the imperial capital, we saw that the gates of the city were closed tightly, and there were thousands of refugees outside the city.Father Han froze to death by the roadside this winter.

Then one day, Zhao Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was ordered by the emperor to open the gate of the city to welcome the refugees. He happened to see Han’s mother holding the body of Han’s father in one hand and the crying Han Que in the other, so he took her back to the mansion and became the second young master. nanny.

Two years later, Han's mother, who had saved a little money, took Han Que away from Zhao's mansion and set up a noodle stall to make a living by herself.When mentioning Zhao Qing, Han's mother would always praise him as a great benevolent person and the savior of mother and son.

Han Que didn't like reading since he was a child, so when he was 12 years old, Han's mother asked him to worship Wei Cheng from Wei's blacksmith shop in the north of the city.

"Mother, here are the silver and the land deed. I'm a teacher." Han Que finished his noodles and handed the two items to his mother.

Mother Han's eyes were flushed with excitement, "Que'er, is this true?"

Han Que said, "Mom, of course it's true. I'll clean up the shop tomorrow, and it will open in three or four days."

Han Mu said repeatedly: "Okay, good, good."

Han Que stood up and was about to wash the dishes when suddenly the doors and windows opened, and five men in black with swords rushed in and surrounded the mother and son.

"What are you doing?!" Han Que shouted, protecting his mother behind him.

The leading man in black said: "Hand over the sword."

Han Que was angry and puzzled, "What sword?"

The man in black smiled and said, "So you don't know what kind of sword that is."

Han Que's heart trembled when he thought of the sword he made today.

The man in black said again: "It's the sword you fought today!"

Mother Han said, "Que'er, what kind of sword did you use? Give it to them quickly."

Han Que said: "Mother, they are not from the government!"

The man in black said: "We are indeed not from the government, but we can also control your life and death." After finishing speaking, a sword on the left and right was placed on Han Mu's neck.

"Stop!" Han Que said anxiously, "Not to mention why I should give it to you, but I don't have this sword in my hand!"

The man in black asked, "Where are you now?"

Han Que said, "It's... at my master's place."

The man in black asked again: "Who is your master? Take us there."

Han Que asked: "Should I give you the sword so that you won't bother us anymore?"

The man in black promised, "That's natural."

So Han Que took them back to Wei Cheng's house.

When we arrived at Wei Cheng's house, the candles were extinguished, but the courtyard door was wide open.Under the moonlight, Wei Cheng was dancing his sword.

His sword was drawn from the ground.He usually jokes with Han Que that there are treasures buried in the backyard of his house.Han Que never took it seriously.

Now it seems to be true—the soil in the whole courtyard has been dug up, revealing hundreds of swords underneath, of different sizes, shining brightly.

"Old man Wei, I cut off three of your fingers, but I still haven't cut off your delusional thoughts." The leader in black stepped forward and said.

"Master, they want me to hand over the sword I just hit." Han Que said.

But Wei Cheng didn't answer anyone, and with a sword in his hand, he directly stepped forward to fight with the man in black.

It was only then that Han Que realized that his understanding of Master was far from enough.

Soon, Wei Cheng was no match for five people alone, and gradually fell into a disadvantage.

With a clang, Wei Cheng held the sword and cut off the sword of the man in black, but the other man's sword pierced Wei Cheng from behind.

"Master!!!" Han Que shouted, rushing to Wei Cheng's side desperately.

Wei Cheng lowered his head, looked at the tip of the sword in his heart, and said with difficulty: "Go to Qin..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Cheng died of exhaustion.

Wei Cheng is dead, but the sword is still missing.The man in black grabbed Han Mu and asked Han Que, "Where is the sword, tell me!"

Han Que gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know!"

A flash of sword light flashed, and the man in black stabbed Han Mu to death.

"mother!!!"

Within half an hour, Han Que lost his master and mother one after another.He bit his lip angrily, his eyes tearing apart.

Dingling... A crisp ringing sound came from far and near, followed by a figure intruding in an instant.The person who came lightly picked up the sword on Han Que's neck and pulled Han Que behind him.

The men in black immediately surrounded the two of them.

"Slow!" said the leader of the man in black, "It's you."

The person who came responded: "Hello everyone, although you are with me and have nothing to eat, it doesn't mean that I will be soft. Someone paid to save the life of Mr. Han, so I have to offend him!"

Wuwang is an organization of killers in Jianghu, killing people only depends on how much money is paid, not right or wrong.

The name of the visitor is Qi.Of course, this is just a pseudonym.Qi was wearing a black dress, her short hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, and a bell was wrapped around her left wrist.

The seven generals guarded Han Que behind him and fought with the crowd.

Everyone is also relentless.

Between swords, lights and swords, Qi took an opportunity to throw something to Han Que, and said, "Run."

As soon as Han Que hugged the object, he knew it was the sword.He immediately ran out of the yard and ran in the direction of the city.

He took Wei Cheng's order seven months ago.Wei Cheng's request is: protect Han Que and the sword, and escort them all the way to Guishou Pass until Qin Chuan appears.

As for who Qin Chuan was and why Wei Cheng did this, Qi was not interested.

Even when Wei Cheng was killed, he didn't make a move.He just quietly hid in the dark to watch the battle, and then rescued Han Que who was in danger.

When Han Que ran out, he stopped the person who was trying to kill him.

When he was so entangled that he felt that Han Que had already left the city, he put away his sword, slipped away lightly, and then caught up with Han Que.

Han Que wept while running while holding the sword.

Qi followed behind him and said, "Wei Cheng wants you to go to Guishou Pass and find a man named Qin Chuan. I was hired by him to escort you."

He thought for a while and then said: "Ten taels of silver, I will bury your mother for you after you return from Guishou Pass."

Han Kuang nodded, but did not speak.

All the way silent, the two tacitly do not interfere with each other.Riding on horseback during the day and staying in an inn at night, three days later, Guishouguan is far away.

The innocent killers were still chasing them, so the two used false names, forged customs clearance documents, and with a slight disguise, they were immediately lost in the crowd.

Guishouguan is located at the junction of Yingzhao and Zhao, and it belongs to the territory of Zhao. The terrain is flat and easy to attack and difficult to defend. Once the two countries go to war, this place will bear the brunt of the war.

So no ordinary person chooses to live here.Those who live here are thieves, robbers, murderers, and prostitutes.

Zhaoguo has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards Guishouguan, which instead makes the environment in Guishouguan a subtle peace.

After entering the customs, Han Que asked Qi: "Do you know where Qin Chuan is?"

Seven replied, "I don't know."

The two couldn't find someone with great fanfare, so they had to spend money to buy news in private.But for anyone with the surname Qin, the two of them will check each other face to face - show the sword to this person.

Unfortunately, none of them understood what they meant.

Two days later, the Wuwang killer came after him, but the two still had no clue.

Any inn in the pass would not take in people who were named to be killed by the innocent killer.

There is only one inn called Zailai except.

Again, the inn is located in a deserted place, and the business in the store is also very deserted.The name of the shopkeeper is Qin Xiuwen, wearing a gray cotton robe, with black hair like a waterfall, loosely bound with white cloth strips at the end, with clear eyebrows, a little cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, and a few white cloth strips wrapped around the wrist. .

Qin Xiuwen said: "Eating and sleeping are major events in life."

When he said this, Qin Xiuwen was setting up the abacus, calculating the rent of Qi and Han Que.

"One knot every seven days, one penny per knot. Three cents will be charged, and the meal fee will be deducted from it." Qin Xiuwen thought for a while and then said: "Don't make trouble in my shop."

Han Que paid the money and said, "Understood."

Qi asked, "Have you seen a man named Qin Chuan?"

Qin Xiuwen said, "I've never seen it before."

The two went up to the second floor, just entered the room and sat down to rest, when the Wuwang Killer came after him.

Qin Xiuwen asked with a smile, "Do you want to eat or stay in the hotel?"

The leading killer asked, "Where are those two?"

Qin Xiuwen explained gently: "This shop is a small business, so you can't fight and kill."

The leading killer turned a deaf ear: "Hand him over, or I'll kill you too!"

Qin Xiuwen said, "Why is this so?"

The swords of the killers are drawn.Qitijian came down from the second floor and said to Qin Xiuwen, "I'm sorry, Boss Qin."

The sword, light and sword were reflected on Qin Xiuwen's face, and Qin Xiuwen was expressionless.
