The swordsmith just laughed, didn't refute, and didn't affirm what King Zhen said. Anyone in the royal family would say some flamboyant words. He is a scholar, but he dare not be presumptuous.
"Your Highness, Caomin has recast this sword for you. How about you take a look?" The swordsmith looked at King Zhen with a smile on his face, with confidence in his swordsmithing skills. , is not only one of the best in Southern Chu, even in this world, the ranking must be high.
"Okay, bring the sword." King Zhen looked at the swordsmith appreciatively. She wanted to find an excuse to make the high-forged fierce sword earlier, but she didn't expect the swordsmith to directly ask to see the sword, which is a good idea. People with eyes.
"Not bad, not bad, good sword, good sword, with this sword, this king can slash that damned..." King Zhen looked at the shiny sword, and the voice of praise came out of his mouth again and again, not easily The secret that was about to be revealed was interrupted by the guard, "Your Highness."
King Zhen woke up from the joy in an instant, shut up quickly, and looked at the swordsmith with sharp eyes.
"Did you hear what just now?" The aggressive breath made people breathless, as expected of the royal family.
"Caomin heard Your Highness praise the sword I forged, and Caomin thanked His Highness for your compliment." The swordsmith was not a fool, and continued what King Zhen said. Pausing for a while, as if thinking of something again, he quickly said: "Your Highness, this sword is a fierce sword, and it will still be a fierce sword after recasting. Your Highness King Zhen must be careful."
"Yeah, I know, you go down first, I will give you the bounty I promised you." King Zhen waved his hand carelessly, his eyes couldn't be removed from the sword, obviously he didn't listen to it and cast the sword What the master said, the swordsmith shook his head helplessly, sighed, and left first.
King Zhen couldn't put it down because of that sword, and when he thought that he could defeat Her Majesty the Queen with this sword, he laughed from ear to ear.
The swordsmith here followed the people from the palace to receive the reward, and the smile on his face could not be concealed. He returned to his residence in the palace, packed up his things, and wrote another letter. Pigeon sent back to his home.
The swordsmith had just left the gate of the palace, planning to hire a carriage to go back, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by people, "You, who are you, I have no grievances with you."
"You have no grievances with us, but you can only blame you for taking the order from Prince Zhen's mansion and forging that sword. That sword is a fierce sword. You know too much, so you must die." The leader The man said coldly.
"I'll give you the money, all of it, spare my life, spare my life." The swordsmith hurriedly took out the money in his bag, and begged the leader to spare his life. The leader shook his head coldly, and rejected him: "Don't blame us, we are also ordered to do things, and the money from Prince Zhen's mansion is not so easy to get."
"Are you from Prince Zhen's mansion?" Seeing that the leader did not give him a way to survive, the swordsmith also calmed down. It turned out that King Zhen was going to kill him, thanks to his painstaking efforts to forge the sword.
"You don't need to know this, dead man, you don't need to know too much." Said the leader and ended the life of the swordsmith.
The family of the swordsmith did not see the swordsmith coming back for a long time, and they were very anxious. They had obviously received the letter from the swordsmith, but this person did not come back, so they hurriedly sent someone to Prince Zhen's mansion to inquire.
"Your Highness, the swordsmith's family has come, saying that the swordsmith has not returned home, and would like to ask if you have left him here to do other work." The guard asked hesitantly after seeing Queen Zhen.
King Zhen frowned when he heard the guard's words, and moved his eyes from the sword, "Didn't go home? What's the matter? It's passed on to the swordsmith's family. This king wants to ask questions."
"Yes." The guard replied. After a while, the swordsmith's family arrived. The man stated that he was the eldest son of the master swordsmith.
"Tell me, what's going on?" King Zhen sat on a high seat, looking down at the worshiping men on the ground.
The man quickly replied: "Yes, Your Highness. Today, my father sent a letter home with a flying pigeon, saying that he would be home at noon, but now, it is already noon, and I have not seen my father. I am here to ask, Your Highness, do you know my father?" Where did you go?"
"I don't know about this. After the swordsmith finished casting the sword, I haven't seen him again." King Zhen supported his forehead, as if talking to himself.
"This... grassroots dare, can I ask your Highness to help you find my father?" The man looked at King Zhen earnestly.
King Zhen was also in a good mood at this time, so he agreed to the man's request.
"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." The man clasped his head excitedly, and the sound of his forehead touching the ground filled the room. King Zhen was happy to see other people's gratitude, so he didn't stop him.
Time passed gradually, and there was no trace of the swordsmith in the afternoon. At that time, King Zhen was in the bedroom, with the sword in front of him, "Fierce sword, fierce sword, you must help me succeed, if that The slut is dead, I will definitely call you the fierce sword of protecting the country, hahaha... "
"Your Highness, I beg to see you." There was a deep voice from outside the door, King Zhen frowned, let the person outside come in, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"
"See Your Highness, this subordinate is guilty, please punish him." The man knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"What's your crime? Huh?" King Zhen raised his eyebrows, she didn't remember any mistakes this man had committed.
"It was the subordinate who killed the swordsmith." The man said sharply.
"What?" King Zhen stood up abruptly from the chair, and said angrily, "What did you say? How dare you be so bold?"
The voice of the man kneeling on the ground was still low and hoarse, and no one could see a trace of emotion: "His Royal Highness, please listen to your subordinates. Your subordinates took the initiative to kill that person, but it was actually for your highness. That sword is a murderous sword." , is the sword of the Great General of Southern Chu, with infinite power, if Her Majesty the Queen finds out about it, she will definitely drive you to death, then..."
King Zhen carefully considered what the secret guard said. Although he was still a little dissatisfied, the person had already been killed and there was no way to recover it. Daban, give you a long memory, and don’t make arbitrary claims in the future.”
"Yes." The man replied, "This subordinate will leave."
Wait, come back, how is the palace recently? What's the situation? Her Majesty what is that bitch doing? "King Zhen suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped the guard for questioning.
"Returning to Your Highness, there is really something wrong with this palace, and there is an extra young Highness in the palace." The dark guard replied respectfully, not to be angry because of King Zhen's punishment, this is the dark guard, and their loyalty is incomparable , This is also the reason why King Zhen arranged them to be eyeliners in the palace.
"Your Highness? Oh, this is really strange..." King Zhen smiled, and said a word in a flat tone.
